Lunar-chan: (wrestles computer away from her dad) Otou-san, it's my turn!
You've been on for three days straight! (Her dad gives Lunar-chan a weird
look and turns the TV on. Lunar-chan sighs.) Finally! Geez……… he takes
far too long.
S + S: (Gives Lunar-chan weird looks and sweatdrops)
Lunar-chan: (Looks innocent) Nani? What I do?
Syaoran: (shakes head) Nande no nai. Just, get on with chapter four.
Lunar-chan: (smiles) HAI! Here's Chapter Four for your reading enjoyment!

1 Chapter Four: Explanation
Disclaimer: FOR THE LAST TIME, DON'T OWN IT! CLAMP DOES! STOP ASKING!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Are you both ready to meet your maker?"
Syaoran and Tomoyo stared up at Meino who was hovering over them.
"Nai. I'm not." Growled Syaoran. He looked around. "What have you done with Sakura?"
"If it's any of your business, my Cherry Blossom is here." Syaoran glared at him.
"Your Cherry Blossom? I don't think that's the case. She doesn't belong to you." Meino smirked.
"Try convincing her of that." Meino pointed to eh sky. Syaoran and Tomoyo both looked up to see Sakura floating in mid-air. Tomoyo gasped.
"What have you done to my friend?!?" she exclaimed. Syaoran felt anger surge through his body. They both had a right to be upset. Sakura was barely dressed. She was wearing a black, bikini type top and an extremely short black leather skirt. She had long black gloves on that went past her elbows and knee high black combat boots. Around her shoulders was a long black cloak and her hair was free flowing and black.
(If I did a bad job with Sakura's description, gomen ne. If you're familiar with the anime, The Slayers, think NAGA. If not, ask someone who is! *smile*)
"What the hell…?" Syaoran's voice was barely above a whisper. He turned back to Meino, glaring. "What have you done to her?"
"Nande no nai. She did that on her own with The Create." Syaoran's eyes widened.
"Na… nani?"
"You heard me." Meino turned up toward Sakura. "Oi, Cherry-chan! Could you come down here please?" Sakura didn't say a word, just gently dropped down next to Meino and stared blankly at Tomoyo and Syaoran. They both gasped when they saw her eyes.
"Syaoran-kun… her eyes… they're black…"
"I know…" Syaoran sounded sad beyond belief. [She's not my Sakura anymore…]
"Yes. Now, she's my Sakura." Meino planted a kiss on Sakura's cheek and Syaoran felt his blood boil. "We'll be leaving you, after I kill you both." Tomoyo's eyes widened.
"K… korosu?" she started to tremble.
"Leave Tomoyo-chan out of this, she doesn't pose a threat to you." Syaoran growled, standing up. "But before you try and kill me, I'd like to know who you really are and what the hell you're doing here."
"You really want to know? Fine." Meino smiled. "I am the rightful ruler of a planet from a galaxy that you're people never even knew existed. I have been traveling with Sabine to find a bride for me with exceptional magic powers. When I arrived on this planet, I realized that Sakura was the strongest I have ever seen and then set out to make her mine. To take her, I needed to sever any ties she had on the planet."
"What? The girls on your own planet aren't good enough?"
"None of them are worthy of my superior power. I had to search the universe for the perfect bride and now, I've found her." Meino sighed. "I tire of this idle chit-chat. You have your explanation, so I hope you are satisfied. Now, are you read to meet your maker?"
"Not without a fight!" Syaoran called upon his sword. "I'll never let you take Sakura and I'll fight to keep here until my last breath."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura was in a warm, dark place. She was sitting up, hugging her knees to her chest.
"So… very… tired…" she mumbled. "Want… to… stay… here… forever… so… very ……warm…and…comfy…" her head lolled to one side. It looked like she was in the dead of night and that there wasn't even a glimmer of a moon. She had no desire to leave the comforting, silent place. Then, the sounds of combat filtered through the place, breaking the silence.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Do you really think you can beat me? Pathetic child. You may have superior sword techniques but my magic is nothing like you have ever seen before!" a mass of black, crackling energy appeared in Meino's hand and formed into a ball. He aimed it at Syaoran. It flew at Syaoran just as he held up his sword to block it. The energy didn't tough him but sent Syaoran flying into a thin, lone tree, causing it to break in two. Syaoran groaned as he stood up.
"It's… gonna take a lot more than that… to… make me give up on Sakura."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A small stream of light pierced Sakura's infinite darkness. She picked her head up and gazed at the light.
"Na… nani?" she whispered as the light started to grow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well, you're in luck, because I have much more." Meino started throwing black energy balls at a tiring Syaoran. He continued to dodge and block the attacks, but his speed was decreasing. Finally, after a miscalculated move, one attack hit Syaoran with full force in the back and sent him flying to the ground, getting a mouthful of dirt. He shakily propped himself up on his elbows and gazed at Sakura.
"Gomen ne… Sakura… I… I tried…" he paused, coughing up some blood. "If you can…hear me… come back… to us… we need you back… I need… you… back…" he flopped on the ground, near unconsciousness. "Gomen… ne… I… I didn't… want… to… leave… we… need…. you… Sakura… I ne–" he subsumed to unconsciousness and lay flat on the ground.
"See? I told you. You couldn't win." Meino said quietly.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There was a spotlight on Sakura. She was sitting on her knees, looking at Syaoran.
"Sya… Syaor…" as tears streamed down her face, she screamed "SYAORAN!!" a bright light consumed the darkness, completely destroying it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meino turned when he heard Sakura mumbling.
"Syaoran… Syaoran… gomen ne…" the green of her eyes returned in a brilliant flash and the skimpy outfit disappeared from her body, being replaced by her pajamas. As she shook her head, shaking the cobwebs away, Sakura heard Tomoyo shriek.
"Sakura!!!" Tomoyo stumbled as she ran toward Sakura and embraced her. She started to cry.
"Hi Tomoyo." Sakura said, hugging her best friend back. "Daijoubu?" Tomoyo let go of Sakura and nodded.
"I am… but I'm not so sure about Syaoran-kun…" she pointed toward him and Sakura could feel anger and worry surge through her veins.
"I hate to breakup this little pow wow… but I need to finish what I came to do…so… Cherry-chan, move away from the girl." Meino said. Sakura stepped toward him, the wand appearing in her hands.
"You know what Meino? You are a bastard. And stop calling me 'Cherry- chan'. It is disgusting and stupid." Sakura glared at Meino with hate- filled eyes. (AN: It's the same look Sakura had during The Snow Card episode when she lost her bran new wrist watch that she got from Yukito. Ya know, all fiery and stuff… *Cringes* oh… scary…)
"You don't scare me."
"Hontou ne? Well, you should be. Are you ready to meet your maker?" a glowing white aura wrapped around Sakura as she tightened her grip on her wand. "I don't care if you are or not. You've hurt my family and friends. For that, I can never forgive you."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lunar-chan: Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh. Sakura's scary when she's mad, ne?
Syaoran: (nods vigorously) Uh huh. I've learned, never piss her off.
Sakura: NE! I'm not that bad!
Lunar-chan: Ok, calm down. Well minna, how do you like it? We've got one more chapter and an epilogue after this so we're almost done! (Smiles) and I know you'll like the ending. I already have it planed out!
Sakura: Oh, oh! What is it?
Lunar-chan: You'll find out with the rest. Just be patient. I want at least 5 more reviews before I post the next chapter, so, I'll see you then, ALL RIGHT? Well minna see ya in Chapter Five! Remember; keep the peace, love and ANIME! ^.^ JA!
S + S: (Gives Lunar-chan weird looks and sweatdrops)
