A/N: Sorry it took a while for this to get out. Very sorry. Don't hurt/flame me.
All This For Nothing
Syaoran woke up and groaned. He was tied to the wall in some room he never been.
"Ah, you have awoken Syaoran!" He looked at the direction of the voice. It was Meiling.
"Meiling!! Where's Sakura? What did you to her?!" he shouted as he struggled to get free. "Where am I?"
"Basement," Meiling simply said. "Syaoran, you belong to me! Not that bit –"
"Don't you dare talk about Sakura like that!! Where is she?!" He struggled once more but it was useless among the metal chains.
"Oh she's fine. She should she waking up…" Meiling pressed a button on this control. "…Now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gush of cold water poured onto Sakura's face.
"Wha[gurgle hack hack]!!" Sakura sputtered. She rolled out of the way to somewhere dry, except the water was filling the room gradually from an opening on the ceiling.
"Where am I?" she asked out loud. All she remembered was Syaoran and her talking, and then Meiling came…Meiling. She did this to her. Sakura touched her head and felt a lump.
"I'm going to have to find a way ou-aaaaaahhhh!!" she jumped up as cold water flooded to her feet. It already had filled the small floor. "I'll just use the – I don't have my cards!! Meiling must have taken them!" Her eyes fell on the metal door and pounded it. "Help!! Somebody HELP ME!" She made a body slam, kicks, punches, pounds, and whatever blows. None of them work. The water had rose above her ankles and the room was small. Water was pouring at a moderate speed and was filling the small room quickly. Sakura staggered to the corner and slumped down, but something hit her butt.
"Ooowwww!!" She reached down the clear water and pulled out a sword. "It's Syaoran's sword! Maybe I could use it to cut the door open…"
"Awake Sakura?" boomed a voice.
"Who's there?! Where's Syaoran?!" she held the sword up and turned around. She looked up and saw speakers on the corner.
"Hahahaha!! It's me, Meiling," it static through. Sakura growled.
"Where's Syaoran?!" she pointed the sword at the speaker even though it was useless.
"He's with me, sleeping. I'm going to brainwash him so he only loves…me!" Sakura screamed out in rage.
"Nooo!! I hate you! You bastard!" Sakura raged. Suddenly more water flowed and splattered over Sakura. "[gurgle splash hack] What [cough] are you doing?" Sakura made her way out of the waterfall, even though the water was up to her hips.
"I'm going to drown you, kill you, murder you, ya know! I don't want Syaoran to see you so this is the only way," said Meiling.
"Wouldn't anyone know my disappearance?"
"Do you think they really care about you? Think about it sweetheart: the clan wanted the cards from you and were disappointed that they didn't get it. Second, they want me to marry Syaoran. Third, I'm going to brainwash everybody. Hahahahahaha!!!"
"Meiling! Don't do this!!" No answer. "Meiling come back!!" Sakura cried. She couldn't believe that someone like Meiling would go through all this just to get Syaoran. Now Sakura was determined to save Syaoran and everybody. She immediately sliced the metal walls, stabbing it, poking it, slicing it, cutting it, hacking it, and whatever she could do with the sword. No avail. Nothing work and the water was up to her shoulders. Sakura cried and bawled. No escape. Then an idea hit her.
"Worth a try," she whispered. Sakura focused and concentrated hard on her aura. Maybe it can open the door. She imagine the outside and focused. She tried harder. It was too much pressure. She passed out.
"Sakura? Hey Sakura or ya in there?" came a muffled voice from the outside. Was Sakura hearing things? "Sakura!" The voice sounded familiar but it doesn't matter, she just wanted to get out.
"Yes!! I'm inside and water [splash gurgle] is rising fast! I need to get out!" she sobbed. She stumbled to the door and pounded. "Please get me out! Meiling is planning to brainwash everybody and kill me!!"
"Okay, we are going to attempt at cracking the lock open. It is locked and we don't have the key," said another voice.
"We?" Sakura asked, wiping her tears with wet hands.
"That's right! The Li Sisters!!" Feimei shouted. Sakura imagined her and Fuutie, Fanren outside posing the "V" sign [which is like the peace sign while winking.] "Xiefa is going to find a column so we can smash the door."
"Xiefa?"
"She was on a trip earlier and came back. Li Sister too."
"Well hurry up because it's high!" she sputtered, and tried to stay afloat as the water rose up to her nose. There was only three feet of room left.
# FLASHBACK #
Feimei ran out of the shadows when she was sure Meiling was gone. She instantly ran to her sisters. She ran into Xiefa.
"Xiefa! I thought
you were at –"
"Flight cancelled. What's the rush?"
"Meiling is plotting sinister plans!!"
"Right…I'm going to look for the others."
"Really! She hurt
Sakura and-"
"Sakura?! Syaoran's ~girlfriend~?"
"Let me finish! Meiling knock Sakura and Syaoran unconscious and is planning to do
something to both of them. We have to
tell Fuutie and Fanren!!"
"Grr. That
B!tc#!! How dare she!! Let's go!"
"Oh yeah! Let's
go!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Honestly!! I saw
Meiling do that!" Feimei sighed after she explained the incident. Fuutie thought deeply.
"We can't tell the Elders."
"Why?"
"They'll never believe. They love Meiling." Fuutie stood
up. "Come on Sisters! Let's help Sakura first! You say that she was locked in a chamber?"
Feimei nodded
vigorously.
"Hey Fuutie, isn't that small chamber in the training
room where Sakura is, is the…"
"Uh huh," Fuutie nodded. Xiefa stood up.
"What is it?" Xiefa asked, puzzled. Fuutie and Fanren looked at her.
"Water chamber."
# END FLASHBACK #
Xiefa and Fanren came back carrying a wooden beam.
"We should crack it open!!" Okay, on the count of three! One…two…three!!"
BAM
"AGAIN!!"
BOOM
"It's not working!!"
"Keep trying!"
SMACK
"Please hurry up! I don't have any room left to breathe!" coughed Sakura. She tried to keep her head above waters and closed her eyes as the tears added more water. "Please [sob] hurry…[sobs]…Syaoran…"
"Okay, it's taking longer than I thought. Feimei, Fuutie, find Syaoran!" ordered Fanren. "Xiefa and I will help Sakura."
At the mention of Syaoran, Sakura yelled out, "He's in the basement!! BASEMENT!!"
Fanren nodded. "Search all basement. Leave no crack untouched! Find him before it's too late!" They left quickly. Fanren and Xiefa rammed the beam harder. There wasn't even a dent.
"It's not working!! Sakura can you use magic?"
"I don't have cards…with me…" she was touching the ceiling. She was going to drown.
"What about your aura?!"
"Doesn't work…"
"Kuso!!" Hang in there, Sakura! Sakura? SAKURA?!!" Xiefa cried out. "C'mon Fanren! We have little time! Think!" Inside, Sakura floated motionless, her eyes closed and bubbled escaped from her lips.
OH MY GODS DON"T FLAME ME!!!! YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW THINGS WORK OUT!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!! CHAPTERS WILL COME JUST DON"T FLAME ME!!!! [whimpers and runs]
