Yue looked up at Kero, confirming their worst fears. Tears formed his eyes and a tear fell on Sakura's dead body and he clutched her shoulders, shaking her calling out her name, praying that she would wake up. Kero threw off his shadow figure and rushed over To Sakura and licked her soft peachy skin, hoping that it would awaken her form her unconscious faze, but they had no such luck. Kaho and Brad smiled. They had succeeded. The sky clouded over, hiding the moon and Yue and Kero felt a drop in their powers. A huge flash of lightning soared through the sky and Yue looked up from Sakura. Ray stood on the stone wall, her eyes closed in concretion as the thunder she had caused form her anger at them, her hand raised. The thunder crashed around her and her eyes sprung open, a fire blazing in them. She jumped off the wall and began walking ever so slowly towards them. With every step she took, the storm intensified. Kaho and Brad looked at her surprised. They thought she would directly attack them. They sent wave after wave of attacks at her, but it didn't seem to faze her. She kept just walking. It appeared that her body couldn't hold the anger she felt towards them, and her body seemed to bath in warm orange glow. When she got to about twenty feet from them she pulled off her necklace and muttered the incarnation to open it. She spun the staff above her head and transformed into her favorite weapon of all, a knife. She stopped strolling towards them and grinned predatory," You killed her. You deserve to die. I will not kill you painlessly like you killed her but the most painful way I know how," and she leapt at Kaho who's bolt of lightning had ultimately killed Sakura and they fell to the ground. Ray got the upper-hand and stood up and shoved her knife into Kaho's chest in a fit of rage. She pressed her foot to Kaho's throat and pulled the knife out of her. Blood gushed all around Kaho, staining Ray's hands and the white pjs that she wore. Kaho fell to the ground, moaning in pain and Ray faced Brad. Brad looked up at her scared, seeing if she had remorse for the sin she had just committed. He saw none, just pure hatred and madness. He bolted, streaking across the grass, in a desperate run for his life. Ray watched him go and simply threw her blood soaked knife, hitting him in the back, slaying him instantly. She walked over to his dead body and ever so graciously pulled the knife out of him and whipped it out the grass and stuck it in her pocket. Kero and Yue ahd destroyed the dark figures and all was calm. Tomoyo had filmed the whole event and remarked in shock," You killed somebody."

"So.." Ray answered deeply hurt by the death of her friend. she kneeled by Sakura's side and cryed freely. She had failed. It was her job to protect Sakura. She picked up the dead weight of Sakura and started walking towards the Kinomoto house.

"Where are you going," called Eriol, unfallen tears in his eyes.

"Off to tell Touya and the rest the awful news," she replied and kept on walking.

Ray's leaving passed away the shock of seeing someone dieing and they all started sobbing, with the exception of Yue. Yue just wistfully looked at the spot where his beloved had fallen and tried to cry, but the tears won't come.

"Can you save her?" asked Nakura.

"No," was Ray's only reply as she walked away

Several days passed, and everyone in the town was informed of Kinomoto Sakura's dead. Almost everyone showed up at the funeral service for she had touched many lives deeply. All that remained were the people were there the night she had fallen.

"I can't believe she's gone," whiled Tomoyo, for once in her life, separated from her beloved camera.

Meilin hugged her and they both wept for their friend's loss. Slowly, people filed out, leaving only Eriol and Ray standing at the alter, by her opened casket. Ray ran her hand down the shiney polished wooden casket and peered in at Sakura. She lay hands on her stomach dressed in lilac dress with white lining and a bow at the waist. Tomoyo had made it for Sakura's next date with Yue. Yue wasn't handling it well and had basically boarded up the house and sat staring at the wall, remembering his mistress and lover.

"It's a tragedy that she died so young," Ray remarked after a long silence.

For some odd reason, the comment struck a nerve with Eriol," She would have never died if you hadn't spoken up," he muttered.

"I didn't say a single word," said Ray on the defense.

"You did too."

"Are you blaming me for Sakura's death?"

"Yeah I am. If it hadn't been for you, she would still be alive today," he yelled, his voice echoing through the empty steeple.

Ray was going to speak when Eriol interupted her," You always play God, saying who dies and lives. So why not 3 days ago? I wish Sakura was alive and not you," he shouted and stomped out.

Ray fell to her knees in despair. She didn't shout out anything. She hated being yelled at by him because she loved him with all her heart and since she was little, fantasized about him finally saying those three magical words. Maybe he was right, she had killed Sakura. She had the chance to save her and now she was dead because of her.

"You have a choice about that," called a voice from behind the pews. Ray turned around. At the back of the steeple stood a pale thin boy with jet black hair the color of the shadows and tawny brown eyes that displayed great intelligence. He was dressed in a black trench coat that came down to his black work boots. He walked down the red carpet aisle and stood in front of ray.

Ray checked out his aura and remarked," You are a wizard."

"Sure, and you aren't."

"What do you want?" she said not in a mood to hurt the guy.

"You don't have the power to reverse death, right?"

"Right," she said confused about where he was going with this.

"I do, this crystal in my hand," he displayed a black quartz in the shape of a crystal," It has the ability to make a spirt return to a body or create a new body for a spirit to inhabit."

"So…"

"In exchange for your death, I will reverse the effects and let Sakura live."

"Ok," she said, unsure whatever she should take the guy's offer.

"Think about it and whisper my name three times and say this spell," and he handed her a gold script of paper and he walked to the door.

"Say what is your name?" she shouted out as he opened the door to leave.

"Mamoru," he said and walked out.

It was dark around the church and a hole was being dug in the ground for Sakura's casket. Eriol and crew were in the church, waiting for the hole to be dug so they could say their last good-byes. The casket sat closed in the back of the church and a thin figure jumped thorugh the window onto the casket. She jumped down and set up an ouija board on it.

"I'd like to talk to Sakura," she shouted to the air. The counter stood silent then moved to spell out H I

"Hey, do you like being dead?"

"I T S O K A Y I G E T T O S E E M Y M O M.

"If you would have a choice to be alive again would you take it."

"Y E P" then the board started up again.

"H O W I S Y U E."

"Not doin' well without you."

Ray could hear the sound of people chattering coming closer to the body. They have come to get the body. She had to do the spell soon while she had a chance. She said "Bye," to the board and put it in its box. She whispered "Mamoru". A voice whispered to her asking if she knew the consequences .She said yes and said it a second time. She said it a third time, sure of what she was doing, and unrolled the scroll. She read off the words

Not young enough to love as yet

But old enough to die indeed

Revive the life before me and

Accept my gift of equal worth

The air went cold, giving an aura of magic around the church. Eriol rushed to the back room, and found a confused Sakura sitting up dazed and a dead Ray spawled out of the ground.

Eriol rushed over and his worst fears were confirmed. She was dead. He never got to say that he loved her. Syaoran stroaked Sakura's silky hair, happy she was alive again. Eriol picked up the gold paper off the floor and read it and realized what it meant. She had sacrificed herself so Sakua could live. She was playing God, just like he had told her to do. He noticed a pen scratch of the name Mamoru and his stomach did flip-flops. Mamoru was a powerful wizard that lived in the states that was an equal to Ray in power.

"What am I doing here?" asked Sakura, noticing she was in a coffin.

"You died," Syaoran muttered, pushing Sakura's hair out of her eyes.

"I did?"

"Ray killed herself to save you," Eriol simply put and Sakura was too sleepy to argue and fell asleep leaning on Syaoran.

Eriol picked up Ray's body and brought it outside and set it on fire.

"Why are you doin' that," asked Touya.

"Ray didn't want to be buried underground. She's claustrophobic."

"Oh."

The body was burned to ashs and Eriol left the ashs laying in the churchyard and started home. He needed to think and cry alone.
