Obsession
Written By: Sailor Destiny
Author's Notes: Sorry this took so long guys! I've been working on a new Cardcaptor Sakura story, which I am keeping very secret. I'm not even going to reveal its title. I have NO clue when I'm going to finish, not even an estimate. However, I will reveal a little something about Kiss and Flee to you all. There might, and I repeat, MIGHT be a sequel called:
The Return of Betrayal
This chapter will focus on Kain's plans for Sakura. Also, it will focus on Sakura's knight in shining armor (if you can't tell who that is by now, why should I?) entering the dark realm to save her. Prepare to be shocked!!!All right, enough of my senseless babbling, LET'S RUMBLE!!!
Disclaimer: I'm just going to be blunt today, standard disclaimers apply. This story is meant for non-profit entertainment only!
P.S.
Part of this chapter has a VERY mild-err-rape scene. It's even more mild than Caught in the Act. But if you are offended in ANY way by sexual acts, please e-mail me, and I'll send you the clean version of chapter 3. I already know one blond haired, and blue-eyed girl who will want the clean version. *winks*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Let me go!!" Sakura was being carried by Kain like a bag of luggage, so needless to say, she was not happy. "You creep!! Let me go now!!" She hit him with all her might on his back.
"A feeble attempt to hurt the prince. You are weaker than I would've imagined you to be."
"Where are you taking me you jerk?"
"Ah yes. I am taking you to my trusty spell casters. I have plans to make you forget a few things. For starters, in a few hours, you will remember nothing about this Li character. You will know me and only me as your lover." Sakura's heart sunk and she began to sob quietly. She couldn't bear to imagine a life without knowing her Li. Then, Kain's last sentence hit her.
"Lover?" Kain laughed a high-pitched laugh that sent chills up and down Sakura's spine.
"Yes my dear. How else are we supposed to get to know each other?" Sakura's face paled, and she screamed the name of the only one she could ever love.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Li was running with all his might towards Sakura's house, when a sudden freezing wind hit him. When it was passing, he could hear Sakura's crying, and her calls for him. He looked up into the night sky and sealed his amber pools of color from the world. (An: Translation: Li closed his eyes.)
"She's calling me...." he whispered. Li opened his eyes and started to run again. If he was going to save Sakura, he had to find out how to find this Kain character first.
*Don't worry Sakura. I'm coming. *
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I wonder what could be taking them so long, Kero." Madison had been waiting in Sakura's room for over an hour. Aiden had been kind enough to let her in, because it was raining.
"I have no idea, Madison. Knowing those two, they're still probably joined at the lips on that park bench." Madison giggled a bit.
"I just hope they're okay. That storm is getting pretty ugly. I mean, since when have we had red lightning?"
"Red lightning? What the hey?" Kero flew over to the window and investigated the weather. "I don't see any red lightning."
"I saw it about 20 minutes ago, but it went away as fast as it came."
"Hmmm....."
"Something wrong Kero?"
"Not yet at least. I just have a bad feeling about this..."
(Long pause....................................................................................................)
*tap*tap*
"AH!" Madison screamed.
"What in the name of the-Li?" Kero flew over to the window and stared at Li through the window.
"It's not going to help if you keep looking at me through the window! Open it!" Kero made a face and looked at Madison. She smiled and half jogged to the window. Li jumped to the middle of the room.
"Will you wait a minute kid? You're dripping water all over the place!"
"So what? I've got more important things to worry about!"
"Yadiyahdiyah........."
"Do you want to hear this or not?"
"Not."
"Fine, I'll just go save Sakura myself. However, it would be easier to enter the Dark Realm with the help of Keroberos, who is very smart I might add." By now, Madison and Kero's jaws were lazily hanging on the floor.
"What happened to Sakura?" Madison asked.
"She was kidnapped by some guy named Kain."
"KAIN?" Kero bellowed.
"I presume you two are friends." Li flatly said. Kero shook his head no.
"Clow Reed defeated Prince Kain decades ago!!"
"I never heard of this. Why wouldn't my mother tell me of that part of the history of my ancestor?"
"Probably because she didn't know."
"What? Explain."
"Kain was once a human man. His name was Kain Marubaiushi. But he had trouble with staying a true man. Kain craved power beyond belief. One day, Kain was in a fatal car accident. He was driving in an intense storm, and lightning struck in front of him. Kain swerved to avoid the lightning, but he ran off a bridge. He was thrown out of his car, and the lightning outside fried his body. Everyone had thought he died. Instead, somehow, Kain had survived, but he had many dark powers. Kain challenged Clow Reed because he wanted to be the strongest on the planet. And obviously, Clow Reed was the strongest being of this world. After a fierce battle that lasted three days, Kain was defeated. And by using the light card, he was banished to the Dark Realm. But what had been banished can return, so I guess it is our turn to fight him."
"I had no idea that Clow Reed fought to protect this world."
"He didn't. Clow Reed fought to protect himself."
"So, what happened to Sakura?" Madison asked.
"As I said, we were in the park-"
"I saw that much...." Madison teasingly said. Li flushed lightly but he continued.
"ANYHOW, we were-um-er-talking when this red sphere came out of the sky. The sphere was surrounded by red lightning though. And.................." The night became older as Li re-explained the night's previous events. Once he had finished, Kero brought the clow book out, and opened it.
"Where are all the cards?" Madison asked.
"Should Sakura be taken to another realm, the cards she captured will follow."
"So I still have mine?" Li asked.
"Yes....and you'll need them." Li nodded.
"But how do I get to her?"
"I don't know, I guess he has to find you."
"Do you have any ideas how I can find him first?" Kero lowered his head in thought.
"He said that lightning is what empowers him, right?" Li nodded. "Then maybe if you go to the exact spot that he and Sakura disappeared, and strike that spot with lightning, some sort of entrance will appear."
"Is this for certain?"
"It's just an idea kid. I really have no clue how to find this dark realm." Li sighed heavily.
"It can't hurt to try."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"No! Let me go!!" Sakura was trying to put up a decent fight to the men who were trying to tie her down. Kain was watching this show with a smile of amusement on his face. "AH! Let go!" Somehow, Kain's henchmen managed to tie Sakura down to the bed Kain had picked. Once she was tied down, Kain flew over her. Sakura glared at his cold and lifeless eyes, her own full of hatred.
"Don't worry my maiden. We won't start the fun until Li arrives. I want him to see what I'm going to do to you."
"Li's going to defeat you...." she spat.
"Oh no,no,no.....you see, Li will not be able to defeat me if I have all of your cards my lovely."
"What?" Kain placed his hand over Sakura's heart and began to chant.
"Dark Lord, Gezallath, grant my wish. Make the all of maiden's cards a part of my being!!" A red tunnel appeared, and Sakura and Kain's hearts were connected. As the first card, The Windy was forced out of Sakura's chest, she screamed. Then came The Fly, then The Shadow, and so forth. Every card that was stolen, was a pull on her delicate heart.
"Stop, please stop!!" she cried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Li and the transformed Kero were running towards the place where Sakura and Kain disappeared, when Li collapsed and repeatedly cried out in pain.
"What wrong kid?"
"She is in pain!!!"
"How can you tell?"
"Well duh you idiot! AH! I can-ah!-feel it!"
"What does it feel like?"
"It feels like-AH-someone has hooked my heart up to a chain, and they are pulling it as hard as they can."
"Oh no!! They're stealing the cards' spirits from her!!"
"WHAT?!" Li stood up quickly, but just as fast pulled down when more pain tugged at his chest.
"The cards are all of part of Sakura's being. It would be natural for stealing the cards' spirit to cause pain."
"Why don't they just take the cards?"
"Because they only obey the one who was chosen to use it. By stealing the spirit of all the cards, he will have all of its powers without having to use the cards."
"So to be blunt, Sakura will have the cards, but they will be useless." Kero nodded. "Great..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Exhausted, Sakura collapsed onto the silky pillows. "Why.....are...you...doing...this...to...me?"
Kain ran his icy hands through her auburn hair.
"I need the power of you cards to fight this Li character." Sakura inwardly screamed.
"No....you'll kill him....."
"I will not kill Li for a long time. I want him to suffer, every time he sees us together."
"I'll never love you!"
"That will change my sweet. That will most definitely change." Suddenly, a large crash was heard, and the entire palace piously shook. "What's going on?" Kain yelled. Zeus came running into the bedroom.
"Someone is trying to force open the portal to the palace. If we don't do something soon, the portal will be destroyed and anyone will be free to enter our world!!"
"I'll take care of this." and in a swing of his cape, Kain vanished.
"Li....help...me..." Sakura said, before she drifted into unconsciousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Again!!! I think it's working!!" Li nodded and struggled to catch his breath.
"Force, know my plight. Release the light. LIGHTNING!!" Another bolt of lightning was sent towards the portal. But before it could hit, Kain appeared and absorbed Li's attack.
"You are a fool, boy!" Kain formed a ball of lightning and swiftly sent it towards Li. Sakura's knight had no time to dodge Kain's attack, so it hit him head on. The blast was immensely strong. It even knocked the transformed Keroberos into oblivion. After the dust had subsided, Kain landed next to the unconscious Li. He grabbed him by the collar and lifted his body to eye level.
"Time to go." After a single quick flash, they both vanished.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Ugh...I feel like a bus has hit me...* Li tried to lift his hand to his head, but he soon realized that he couldn't. Li's hands were tied behind his back, his legs were also tied together, and he was hanging from a ceiling, from a rope that was around his waist.
*What the heck is going on?*
Slowly, Li lifted his eyelids. It took a few minutes for his vision to clear, but when it did, what he saw horrified him.
Below him, Li saw Sakura tied down to a bed, crying softly, and Kain hovering, back down, above her. Kain's state of undress spoke of what he intended to do to Sakura.
"So nice of you to join the party, Li."
"Let her GO!!!"
"No...she's mine now. I just wanted to see you suffer by witnessing her forgetting every, single, thing about you."
"What are you talking about?"
"I had my body filled with a 'special' type of magic, so the longer we are together...." Kain's eyes went an even paler gray, "...the more she will forget about you."
"NO!!" Li couldn't imagine Sakura not knowing of his love for her, or her not loving him. "Let her GO!!" he yelled struggling.
"It is no use. Impenetrable, magical ropes have bound you. Try as you might, you cannot get free." Kain turned so he was eye to eye to Sakura. She was crying even harder.
"Please...don't do this to me...."
"Don't worry my fair maiden, you'll get used to this. After all," Kain removed her clothing with a wave of his hand," we'll be doing this allot more."
"No!! STOP!!" Li's shouts were drowned out by Sakura's blood curtailing screams.
"STOP!! NO!! PLEASE STOP!!!" she cried.
"Don't like this Sakura?" Kain moved harder against her, and she screamed louder. "That's right. SCREAM!!" Every time Kain moved, Sakura's screams rang throughout the palace.
Li was devastated. This demon man was manhandling his Sakura, and he was powerless to save her.
"STOP THIS!" Li screamed, tears now pouring down his face. Li couldn't stand to hear Sakura cry out in pain like she was now.
"Not yet! She hasn't forgotten EVERYTHING about you yet!!" Kain fiercely screamed. "And you will watch until she does!!" Kain lifted a hand and said a weird incantation. Li was instantly paralyzed. He couldn't even blink.
"NO!! STOP!" Li yelled.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no...we still have a long way to go!!" Kain moved faster, and Sakura screamed louder.
"Li!! HELP ME!! Liiiiii...." Sakura's voice was drowned out by her tears. She stopped screaming in all.
"Oh no you don't! You will," Kain powered up to boost his energy, "SCREAM!" Kain moved even harder against her, and blood curtailing screams started to ring throughout the palace again.
Over a course of one hour, this sequence was repeated. Every time Sakura stopped screaming, Kain would hurt her more. Finally, after over an hour of torture, Sakura passed out. Kain rose off of her, snapped his fingers, and he was dressed.
"It is done....." he whispered.
"No..." Li was in disbelief. Was there no chance of regaining Sakura now? Kain smiled evilly at Li.
"Once she wakes up, she will know me, and only me. You are no longer needed here. But of course, once you feel you are strong enough, you may feel free to battle with me." Kain rose into the air to meet Li's frightened eyes. "We will meet again, friend." Kain snapped his fingers once more, and Li vanished from the dark realm.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Back on Earth*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kero had been pacing the battle scene for over and hour and a half. He was worried beyond the point of it being healthy about Sakura. And although he would admit it to no one, Kero was worried about Li as well.
*I wonder what's taking so long.....Sakura.....I do hope you're all right...* Just then, a small thump was heard in the bushes. Kero ran over to investigate, with hope of it being Li AND Sakura returning. He was disappointed to find only Li. But he was even more so shocked, to see that the big-tough-Li was crying.
"What happened kid?" Li didn't answer. "Look Li, there's no way we'll be able to get her back if you don't give me all the information I can get." Li looked at Kero, eyes red and puffy from crying, and began to tell him everything.
By the time Li was done explaining everything that had happened, Kero was near tears as well.
"I never thought he would do such a thing to Sakura." Li finished.
"Here kid, climb on my back." Li looked surprised. KERO, was offering, LI, a ride.
"Wha-wha-what?"
"Look, it's obvious that you are too weak to even walk right now. So climb on, and I'll give you a ride to Sakura's house.
"Why her house?"
"I want you to be nearby, in case I figure something out. So I guess it'll be a sleepover, sort of."
"What about Sakura's dad?"
"Uh-oh."
"He's bound to notice that his daughter had been missing since six o'clock last night . What'll we tell him?"
"The truth, I suppose."
"I AM in hell....."
"Don't worry kid. We'll get her back." Li climbed onto Kero's back, and Kero took off running towards Sakura's house. The guardian beast of the seal made a silent vow towards Kain.
*You are going down.....Kain*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End Chapter 3~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Author's Notes: I know this chapter was harsh, but the torture Kain put Sakura through, is essential to the plot. In case any of you thought you were going to get a full-blown lemon scene, think again. I am a teenager. Writing sex scenes is the LAST thing on my mind. I would never be all-forward with that kind of thing. I'll have you know, I tried to refrain from using the following words:
naked
thrust
deeper
rape
Just so you all now, I'll be dammed if I write a story that deserves a NC-17 rating. Hell, I'M not even 17.

Author's Notes: Sorry this took so long guys! I've been working on a new Cardcaptor Sakura story, which I am keeping very secret. I'm not even going to reveal its title. I have NO clue when I'm going to finish, not even an estimate. However, I will reveal a little something about Kiss and Flee to you all. There might, and I repeat, MIGHT be a sequel called:
The Return of Betrayal
This chapter will focus on Kain's plans for Sakura. Also, it will focus on Sakura's knight in shining armor (if you can't tell who that is by now, why should I?) entering the dark realm to save her. Prepare to be shocked!!!All right, enough of my senseless babbling, LET'S RUMBLE!!!
Disclaimer: I'm just going to be blunt today, standard disclaimers apply. This story is meant for non-profit entertainment only!
P.S.
Part of this chapter has a VERY mild-err-rape scene. It's even more mild than Caught in the Act. But if you are offended in ANY way by sexual acts, please e-mail me, and I'll send you the clean version of chapter 3. I already know one blond haired, and blue-eyed girl who will want the clean version. *winks*

"What happened kid?" Li didn't answer. "Look Li, there's no way we'll be able to get her back if you don't give me all the information I can get." Li looked at Kero, eyes red and puffy from crying, and began to tell him everything.
By the time Li was done explaining everything that had happened, Kero was near tears as well.
"I never thought he would do such a thing to Sakura." Li finished.
"Here kid, climb on my back." Li looked surprised. KERO, was offering, LI, a ride.
"Wha-wha-what?"
"Look, it's obvious that you are too weak to even walk right now. So climb on, and I'll give you a ride to Sakura's house.
"Why her house?"
"I want you to be nearby, in case I figure something out. So I guess it'll be a sleepover, sort of."
"What about Sakura's dad?"
"Uh-oh."
"He's bound to notice that his daughter had been missing since six o'clock last night . What'll we tell him?"
"The truth, I suppose."
"I AM in hell....."
"Don't worry kid. We'll get her back." Li climbed onto Kero's back, and Kero took off running towards Sakura's house. The guardian beast of the seal made a silent vow towards Kain.
*You are going down.....Kain*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End Chapter 3~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Author's Notes: I know this chapter was harsh, but the torture Kain put Sakura through, is essential to the plot. In case any of you thought you were going to get a full-blown lemon scene, think again. I am a teenager. Writing sex scenes is the LAST thing on my mind. I would never be all-forward with that kind of thing. I'll have you know, I tried to refrain from using the following words:
naked
thrust
deeper
rape
Just so you all now, I'll be dammed if I write a story that deserves a NC-17 rating. Hell, I'M not even 17.
