Chapter 5
Two days had passed since they had entered the dreamland. They were heading towards Narion's territory, or rather section of the dream area.
Heero covered his nose, "What is that stench!"
Pegasus looked back, "Rotting dreams, this land is for nightmares."
The six horses that the group were riding began to slow down rapidly, Pegasus turned then.
"I cannot ask these creatures to go through this area. The dream wall starts a few feet in front of me. Be prepared is all I will say."
The mounts fled in terror away from the awful stench and feel of the place.
The entire group stopped and looked around them and gasped, the scene took on the appearance of a desert pot-holed with swamps and quagmires. Small eruptions of steam or fire would suddenly burst in front of you.
Pegasus turned, "Follow me, if all goes well we will reach Narion's stronghold in one day and one night."
The group nodded their heads vainly trying to ward the scent off by breathing through their mouths.
Sakura struggled to think clearly, she began wheezing, and this quickly distracted her concentration.
Narion brushed his fingers across Sakura's hair, 'ah, at last I have her. Volgon is right, she is beautiful...haha, too bad he will have to take her soul from her'
Snapping his fingers Sakura made the final connection with her conscious thinking mind.
"What the heck is happening? Where am I and who are you?"
Narion smiled handing her a slice of buttered bread, "Your in my estates. And I am Narion."
Sakura took a bite of the bread and reveled in the feeling of food in her long forgotten bellyaches.
"But, where are the others?"
Narion stared intently at Sakura, "Does it really matter? Anyways I brought you this beautiful dress to wear."
Sakura shook her head; putting the bread down she started to rise to her feet.
Narion was on her in a flash, he straddled her waist and held her hands above her head, and "I don't think you should be leaving so soon After all I've hardly had any fun with you."
Sakura could feel adrenaline pump itself into her veins she struggled against his iron-strong hold.
"Get off of me."
Narion smiled an almost sweet smile at Sakura, "I have to keep you for Volgon, you're not as strong as I thought you would be...strange."
He began to lean down towards Sakura his lips were nearly on hers when he sat straight up in startled thought.
Sakura quickly took the chance to break free of his hold and run for the door. Narion watched her go, 'lets just see how far you get'
Sakura ran down stair after stair, her breathing was panicked and harassed as she rushed down the stairway.
Narion glanced out the window the clouds were beginning to gather in one massive cloudy mass, 'hmmm, so they're actually here. And I thought it was just a mistake. Oh, well I better get the girl.'
Sakura fell backwards as she bumped into Narion, Narion smiled and lowered his hand to help her up. Sakura slapped it away, she struggled to get up but couldn't find the energy. Narion smiled, "Maybe I should just be rough with you..."
Sakura pushed herself to her legs and narrowed her eyes, "Get out of my way!"
Narion smiled, "No."
He grabbed Sakura by the neck and threw her against the far wall of the hall.
Her skull cracked against wall of stone; Narion folded his hands across his chest. Sakura could feel a small trail of blood dribbling down the back of her neck.
"Key of Clow, Power of Magic. Power of Light, Surrender the Wand the Force Ignite, RELEASE!"
Her small frame trembled slightly as she stood up holding the Clow Wand.
Narion eyed the Wand doubtfully, "You really think you can defeat me with the Clow cards? They're old magic, not worth the trouble of capturing if you ask me."
Sakura made a face, "Earth Card!"
A wall of rock came soaring up around Narion encasing him in a cube-like structure. Sakura sighed and leaned against the wall.
Narion tapped the rock wall, 'well I didn't even think she would be able to move after she got smashed after the wall, mustn't underestimate her.'
Sakura yelped in surprise as the rock wall exploded and sent chunks of rock ricocheting off of the walls. Narion came blasting towards her, Sakura fell onto her side as he sent a blast of energy through the wall where her head had just rested.
"Shield Card!"
Another energy ball bounced off of the light blue bubble that encased Sakura.
"Fly!" She flew into the air and landed on top of the rubble, "Sword Card!"
Narion threw another ball of heated energy towards Sakura, Sakura stood ready and sliced her sword through it. The explosion caused her to slide back a foot or so.
Narion grabbed a sword from thin air and charged at Sakura, Sakura meet thrust after thrust with her own, seeking to find a weak spot.
'think, what can his weakness be!'
Narion gritted his teeth, "That's it!" Jumping down he threw the sword down.
"Nightmare Static Cut!!"
Narion flew up into the air as his attack began to take on a form.
Sakura could barely see the midnight black Pegasus soaring towards her his horn was conducing a large current of Electricity to waft throughout the room.
'everything is so loud' Sakura raised the Clow Wand readily narrowing her eyes. She sighed suddenly before she fell over toppling down to the bottom of the heap of rubble.
Sakura was falling into an abyss of blinding white light.
'I'm so tired'
Sakura blinked and seemed to come fully awake, 'what's happening to me? Where am I?'
Sakura sighed, 'it doesn't matter...I'm too tired to care'
"Sakura..." a fairy-like voice rang
Sakura closed her eyes and opened them in surprise as she felt tiny hands place themselves on her cheek.
'who are you? You look just like me but you're so small' Sakura could feel the faint trace of a smile on her lips.
A figure so small that it could fit in the palm of a babies hand and still have plenty of room to move around could be seen tilting Sakura's chin up.
"Sakura..." It called slowly
Sakura blinked and looked dully at the little person, "What do you want...I'm too tired to fight right now."
"Sakura! You must fight for your friends and your life."
Sakura shook her head, "I can't...I'm too tired and weak to fight Narion anymore."
The little fairy self of Sakura shook her head, "No, Sakura call on Element."
Sakura gasped and felt herself fully awaken at the thought, "No! I can't, I'll kill Li."
The fairy laughed, "But don't you understand? Li's soul is waiting to enter..."
Sakura glanced at the little thing, "But, how? Volgon destroyed it?"
It laughed again, "No,"
"But I saw it! It was blasted into millions of pieces!"
"Then, do you remember what happened after that?"
Sakura passed through centuries of stored memories and came upon the one she hated and had buried so deep in herself she hardly remembered it.
Sakura entered into her memory and found a pleasing warmth surrounding her. She gasped, 'Li!'
Li lay slumped against the wall Volgon was quivering and convulsing on the ground nearby. The others were strewn around on the ground.
Shards of clear filmy white glass were scattered around the room, as Sakura walked through the room they came soaring through the air until they were grouped around Sakura, Sakura lifted the Clow Wand, "Creation, RECREATE!"
As she struck the card light blasted around the room, just then she felt her heart jump and start to fail her.
She felt an urgency inside of her, she withdrew from her memory and watched the last events play themselves. She sliced the blue ball of light, her soul, in half and threw one half at Li before she closed her eyes in silent death.
She opened her eyes, "Then, I have his..."
The fairy self of her nodded it's head, "Yes, Sakura, you, have his soul locked in yourself. You feared that his soul would not recreate itself as quickly as the moment needed. So you gave him part of your own Soul.
You have been holding it ever since, you must take back what is yours and defeat Narion before he takes you into the Dark Lands forever!"
Narion reared himself up to the ceiling as a great cyclone of electricity shot out of his horn and blasted towards Sakura's unconscious form.
Sakura lifted her head and scrambled up out of the way of the oncoming attack.
Narion's eyes blazed, "Well, Well, well, and I thought the little one was at death's door. Don't worry I'll finish you now! Nightmare Static Cut!"
Sakura closed her eyes, "Shield Card!"
The attack bore into the small blue bubble, Sakura was knocked aside roughly as the attack sliced through the shield scarcely missing her.
Li stumbled to his feet, he grabbed his chest and breathing became unbearably hard for him.
Usagi leaned down next to him instantaneously, "Li! Are you alright?"
Li sputtered and rose to his feet, "Element!"
The great bird rose out of his chest in a shadowy translucent form, flapping hard looking as if it was struggling against something.
Screeching it blasted out of Li holding a small blue ball of light in it's talons. Li fell backwards unconscious after that.
Sakura and Narion looked up as the ceiling broke apart and came crashing down around them. Sakura smirked, "Element!!"
The great bird screeched and soared into Sakura disappearing into her.
Sakura lifted the Clow Wand, "Element ICE!"
A hurricane of ice threw Narion against the wall, "Element FIRE!"
Narion didn't even have time to look up from the first attack to face the second as it came blasting into his side.
Sakura gasped in wonder, Narion's human ghost form rose up, floating towards Sakura he kissed her softly on the lips.
"I am sorry. Thank you... I am free..."
As he said it he turned towards the ceiling and disappeared as he soared upwards.
Sakura's lungs ached, lifting her hand which quivered uncontrollably she lifted a ball of white light, "Go...to your master."
The ball of light disappeared from her hands, Sakura fell forwards into the rubble.
"Usagi, look at that!"
A small ball of light was flying towards them it slowed as it neared the group, stopping in front of Li it entered into his body. Immediately he sat forwards with a start and regained his breath.
"It's not possible," he looked down at his hands they quivered ever so slightly.
"Li are you alright?"
Li sighed, "Better then ever...Sakura is complete."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Quatre asked
Li looked up, "She is complete. Everything."
Quatre's eyes widened, "But how?"
Li shrugged, "Doesn't matter, as long as she has it back she has a chance against Narion, c'mon lets go."
Pegasus eyed Li warily before starting the slow procession again.
Night began to set over the land, the stars were covered by an ominous looking storm cloud.
Volgon gritted his teeth, slamming his fist against the table at which he sat he snapped his fingers which closed the portal hole.
He had seen all the following events up to the death of Narion, "Damn that girl," He sighed, "Well, I can go after her now anyways. She's too weak to fight back."
A small black ball slowly developed in his hand, it shaped itself then into the shape of a heart. Volgon opened a portal hole and threw the black heart into it, "This better work."
Sakura opened her eyes wearily, she had heard something.
She did a double take when she saw a nearly invisible mass of something slithering over towards Narion's body.
'it's got to be a bug' Sakura thought slowly
Pushing herself up she rubbed her chin ruefully from her fall, she fell backwards yelping as her legs gave out.
Dragging herself towards Narion's body, her eyes widened in disgust. She watched as the dark blob of a mass pulled the rest of itself through the tear it had made in Narion's chest.
Sakura screamed in surprised fright as Narion's scarred and broken body picked itself up off the floor. His eyes glowed red, slowly the shattered pieces of his horn began to collect and reassemble themselves on his forehead.
Sakura gripped the Clow Key in her hand tightly, "Key of Clow, Power of Magic. Power of Light, Surrender the Wand the Force Ignite! RELEASE!"
"You bastard Volgon, you aren't going to destroy me yet."
A laugh emitted from Narion's shadowy form, his coat slowly began to turn into a slick black coat.
"Volgon sends his wishes for you to die."
Like lightning it charged and drove it's horn into Sakura's side all the way through and threw her carelessly off. Sakura gritted her teeth, blood began to soak through her clothes and drip down.
"Elem..." Her voice wavered, she clutched the Clow Wand as if her life depended on it. She glared at the thing in front of her, "ELEMENT, ICE!"
No sooner had she said the words when she fell to the floor.
The ice froze Narion's body to the wall, he was encased in a tomb of shimmering ice.
Trowa sat up from his sleep, morning was changing into noon, he looked towards the towering castle and heard the sound again.
It was a resounding crack, the others were slowly coming awake as they heard the cracking sounds also.
Pegasus came behind Trowa and nudged his shoulder lightly, "It sounds like ice."
Trowa looked at Pegasus, "We must get there as soon as possible."
Pegasus nodded his head, his horn gleamed before it let out a ray of translucent golden light. It surrounded the group in a large golden bubble.
It soared upwards and disappeared letting the group land at the doors of the huge castle.
Trowa's grip on his sword tightened, leaping in the air he sliced through the door. It clanked to the floor ominously as the group rushed in.
Heero bit his lip when he could dimly make out Sakura's form on the ground. Running towards her he turned when he heard a crashing noise so loud it seemed to deafen him. At the far wall barely noticeable, Narion stood encased in ice. As Heero ran by the ice cracked all the way through, the animal charged faster then ever at Heero's form. Heero came to a stand still, he shifted and was about to leap into the air when Narion's hoofs came crashing down on Heero's shoulders.
Heero yelped in pain and dug his teeth into his neck. He landed on the ground a few yards away from Sakura.
Trowa and Duo were closing in on the animal from behind as Quatre, Wufei, and Usagi edged towards Sakura.
Heero turned when he heard the cry, he was faintly aware of flying sideways. Turning he looked at the small bundle of a girl that had thrown him sideways out of harms way.
'Sakura' Heero gently laid aside the girl and charged at the beast angrily.
Duo had shifted into a warlock, he and Quatre sent out an attack towards Narion. It struck his body, and left him stumbling drunkenly around the room, Trowa's sword came slicing through his neck and Heero broke off one of his legs with his mouth.
Wufei narrowed his eyes, the thing was still moving as if in it's death throes.
"The heart!" Wufei yelled as the dismembered parts of it's body slipped from the floor and reconnected with it's body.
Heero snarled in pain as Narion's horn drove itself into his leg, turning he dug his mouth into his chest.
Narion's body shuddered and started to convulse terribly as Heero dug deeper into his chest. Heero then withdrew from Narion's chest and spat out the black heart. Heero's paw squashed it into nothing, spitting flecks of dark blood out of his mouth Heero turned towards Sakura.
Duo was already there, cradling her tightly.
Quatre looked up towards Pegasus, "Can you heal her?"
Pegasus shook his head, "I am sorry but I cannot."
Heero felt his frame quiver with rage, "Is she alright?" He managed to make it out in a short bark.
Duo shook his head, "She's wounded in so many places, we need to get her in the light so we can see where she's wounded."
Pegasus turned to Usagi, "Usagi, I can only transport you back to the waking world. Is that enough."
Usagi nodded her head as she took Sakura's body from Duo's hands.
Trowa looked up as he cut the gauze. "Someone will have to come in and change her bandages every morning. Or else she will bleed when she takes off the bandage."
Heero nodded his head, "I will."
Usagi covered her face and sat in the chair next to Sakura's bed. Uncovering her face she sighed wearily.
"She almost died!"
Trowa remained silent, "Now all of us must protect her only."
Wufei nodded his head, "Now that she has both parts of her soul."
Li brushed Sakura's hair away from her face, "She has a stab wound in the side, head wound, bruised and broken all over...It's a wonder how she could even get up after that."
Heero felt angry guilt, Quatre placed his hand on Heero's shoulder, "Heero, it's all our faults."
Heero grunted in reply as he walked out of the room.
Li was the last one left in the room, he kneeled down and kissed Sakura on the lips.
"When will this end..." He bit his lip, fighting back an urge unsuccessfully. He trailed his lips down to her neck. Before stopping and glancing at Sakura's sleeping face.
Duo clenched his hand into a fist and punched the bag of sand angrily. Heero glanced towards Duo, "What's wrong with you."
"What do you freaking think!"
Heero narrowed his eyes, "Would you forget about it! It's Sakura's choice."
Duo sighed, "Yea, but I want her for myself."
Wufei looked back and laughed, "What makes you think she's going to go for you?"
Duo made a face at Wufei before continuing his punching.
They were in the humongous pine floored gym, Quatre had been able to put a small cafeteria type area where there was a place to get food. Usagi was there now munching on a peach.
Trowa laid his sword down in the rack that hung from the wall.
Volgon watched them silently before closing his eyes in thought, the portal closed.
"So...My black heart didn't work...how many failed trials must be before I have her in my grasp."
Oh, okay people, I'd appreciate it if you wanted to put a suggested person with Sakura. Cause I'm kinda like, "which one" right now. Please review, it makes me feel HAPPY!!!! Lol luv ya~QT-chan

Sakura could feel adrenaline pump itself into her veins she struggled against his iron-strong hold.
"Get off of me."
Narion smiled an almost sweet smile at Sakura, "I have to keep you for Volgon, you're not as strong as I thought you would be...strange."
He began to lean down towards Sakura his lips were nearly on hers when he sat straight up in startled thought.
Sakura quickly took the chance to break free of his hold and run for the door. Narion watched her go, 'lets just see how far you get'
Sakura ran down stair after stair, her breathing was panicked and harassed as she rushed down the stairway.
Narion glanced out the window the clouds were beginning to gather in one massive cloudy mass, 'hmmm, so they're actually here. And I thought it was just a mistake. Oh, well I better get the girl.'

Sakura pushed herself to her legs and narrowed her eyes, "Get out of my way!"
Narion smiled, "No."
He grabbed Sakura by the neck and threw her against the far wall of the hall.

"Key of Clow, Power of Magic. Power of Light, Surrender the Wand the Force Ignite, RELEASE!"
Her small frame trembled slightly as she stood up holding the Clow Wand.
Narion eyed the Wand doubtfully, "You really think you can defeat me with the Clow cards? They're old magic, not worth the trouble of capturing if you ask me."
Sakura made a face, "Earth Card!"
A wall of rock came soaring up around Narion encasing him in a cube-like structure. Sakura sighed and leaned against the wall.
Narion tapped the rock wall, 'well I didn't even think she would be able to move after she got smashed after the wall, mustn't underestimate her.'
Sakura yelped in surprise as the rock wall exploded and sent chunks of rock ricocheting off of the walls. Narion came blasting towards her, Sakura fell onto her side as he sent a blast of energy through the wall where her head had just rested.
"Shield Card!"
Another energy ball bounced off of the light blue bubble that encased Sakura.
"Fly!" She flew into the air and landed on top of the rubble, "Sword Card!"
Narion threw another ball of heated energy towards Sakura, Sakura stood ready and sliced her sword through it. The explosion caused her to slide back a foot or so.
Narion grabbed a sword from thin air and charged at Sakura, Sakura meet thrust after thrust with her own, seeking to find a weak spot.
'think, what can his weakness be!'
Narion gritted his teeth, "That's it!" Jumping down he threw the sword down.
"Nightmare Static Cut!!"
Narion flew up into the air as his attack began to take on a form.
Sakura could barely see the midnight black Pegasus soaring towards her his horn was conducing a large current of Electricity to waft throughout the room.
'everything is so loud' Sakura raised the Clow Wand readily narrowing her eyes. She sighed suddenly before she fell over toppling down to the bottom of the heap of rubble.
Sakura was falling into an abyss of blinding white light.
'I'm so tired'
Sakura blinked and seemed to come fully awake, 'what's happening to me? Where am I?'
Sakura sighed, 'it doesn't matter...I'm too tired to care'
"Sakura..." a fairy-like voice rang
Sakura closed her eyes and opened them in surprise as she felt tiny hands place themselves on her cheek.
'who are you? You look just like me but you're so small' Sakura could feel the faint trace of a smile on her lips.
A figure so small that it could fit in the palm of a babies hand and still have plenty of room to move around could be seen tilting Sakura's chin up.
"Sakura..." It called slowly
Sakura blinked and looked dully at the little person, "What do you want...I'm too tired to fight right now."
"Sakura! You must fight for your friends and your life."
Sakura shook her head, "I can't...I'm too tired and weak to fight Narion anymore."
The little fairy self of Sakura shook her head, "No, Sakura call on Element."
Sakura gasped and felt herself fully awaken at the thought, "No! I can't, I'll kill Li."
The fairy laughed, "But don't you understand? Li's soul is waiting to enter..."
Sakura glanced at the little thing, "But, how? Volgon destroyed it?"
It laughed again, "No,"
"But I saw it! It was blasted into millions of pieces!"
"Then, do you remember what happened after that?"
Sakura passed through centuries of stored memories and came upon the one she hated and had buried so deep in herself she hardly remembered it.
Sakura entered into her memory and found a pleasing warmth surrounding her. She gasped, 'Li!'
Li lay slumped against the wall Volgon was quivering and convulsing on the ground nearby. The others were strewn around on the ground.
Shards of clear filmy white glass were scattered around the room, as Sakura walked through the room they came soaring through the air until they were grouped around Sakura, Sakura lifted the Clow Wand, "Creation, RECREATE!"
As she struck the card light blasted around the room, just then she felt her heart jump and start to fail her.
She felt an urgency inside of her, she withdrew from her memory and watched the last events play themselves. She sliced the blue ball of light, her soul, in half and threw one half at Li before she closed her eyes in silent death.
She opened her eyes, "Then, I have his..."
The fairy self of her nodded it's head, "Yes, Sakura, you, have his soul locked in yourself. You feared that his soul would not recreate itself as quickly as the moment needed. So you gave him part of your own Soul.
You have been holding it ever since, you must take back what is yours and defeat Narion before he takes you into the Dark Lands forever!"
Narion reared himself up to the ceiling as a great cyclone of electricity shot out of his horn and blasted towards Sakura's unconscious form.
Sakura lifted her head and scrambled up out of the way of the oncoming attack.
Narion's eyes blazed, "Well, Well, well, and I thought the little one was at death's door. Don't worry I'll finish you now! Nightmare Static Cut!"
Sakura closed her eyes, "Shield Card!"
The attack bore into the small blue bubble, Sakura was knocked aside roughly as the attack sliced through the shield scarcely missing her.
Li stumbled to his feet, he grabbed his chest and breathing became unbearably hard for him.
Usagi leaned down next to him instantaneously, "Li! Are you alright?"
Li sputtered and rose to his feet, "Element!"
The great bird rose out of his chest in a shadowy translucent form, flapping hard looking as if it was struggling against something.
Screeching it blasted out of Li holding a small blue ball of light in it's talons. Li fell backwards unconscious after that.
Sakura and Narion looked up as the ceiling broke apart and came crashing down around them. Sakura smirked, "Element!!"
The great bird screeched and soared into Sakura disappearing into her.
Sakura lifted the Clow Wand, "Element ICE!"
A hurricane of ice threw Narion against the wall, "Element FIRE!"
Narion didn't even have time to look up from the first attack to face the second as it came blasting into his side.
Sakura gasped in wonder, Narion's human ghost form rose up, floating towards Sakura he kissed her softly on the lips.
"I am sorry. Thank you... I am free..."
As he said it he turned towards the ceiling and disappeared as he soared upwards.
Sakura's lungs ached, lifting her hand which quivered uncontrollably she lifted a ball of white light, "Go...to your master."
The ball of light disappeared from her hands, Sakura fell forwards into the rubble.
"Usagi, look at that!"
A small ball of light was flying towards them it slowed as it neared the group, stopping in front of Li it entered into his body. Immediately he sat forwards with a start and regained his breath.
"It's not possible," he looked down at his hands they quivered ever so slightly.
"Li are you alright?"
Li sighed, "Better then ever...Sakura is complete."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Quatre asked
Li looked up, "She is complete. Everything."
Quatre's eyes widened, "But how?"
Li shrugged, "Doesn't matter, as long as she has it back she has a chance against Narion, c'mon lets go."
Pegasus eyed Li warily before starting the slow procession again.
Night began to set over the land, the stars were covered by an ominous looking storm cloud.
Volgon gritted his teeth, slamming his fist against the table at which he sat he snapped his fingers which closed the portal hole.
He had seen all the following events up to the death of Narion, "Damn that girl," He sighed, "Well, I can go after her now anyways. She's too weak to fight back."

Sakura gripped the Clow Key in her hand tightly, "Key of Clow, Power of Magic. Power of Light, Surrender the Wand the Force Ignite! RELEASE!"
"You bastard Volgon, you aren't going to destroy me yet."
A laugh emitted from Narion's shadowy form, his coat slowly began to turn into a slick black coat.
"Volgon sends his wishes for you to die."
Like lightning it charged and drove it's horn into Sakura's side all the way through and threw her carelessly off. Sakura gritted her teeth, blood began to soak through her clothes and drip down.
"Elem..." Her voice wavered, she clutched the Clow Wand as if her life depended on it. She glared at the thing in front of her, "ELEMENT, ICE!"
No sooner had she said the words when she fell to the floor.
The ice froze Narion's body to the wall, he was encased in a tomb of shimmering ice.
Trowa sat up from his sleep, morning was changing into noon, he looked towards the towering castle and heard the sound again.
It was a resounding crack, the others were slowly coming awake as they heard the cracking sounds also.
Pegasus came behind Trowa and nudged his shoulder lightly, "It sounds like ice."
Trowa looked at Pegasus, "We must get there as soon as possible."
Pegasus nodded his head, his horn gleamed before it let out a ray of translucent golden light. It surrounded the group in a large golden bubble.
It soared upwards and disappeared letting the group land at the doors of the huge castle.
Trowa's grip on his sword tightened, leaping in the air he sliced through the door. It clanked to the floor ominously as the group rushed in.
Heero bit his lip when he could dimly make out Sakura's form on the ground. Running towards her he turned when he heard a crashing noise so loud it seemed to deafen him. At the far wall barely noticeable, Narion stood encased in ice. As Heero ran by the ice cracked all the way through, the animal charged faster then ever at Heero's form. Heero came to a stand still, he shifted and was about to leap into the air when Narion's hoofs came crashing down on Heero's shoulders.
Heero yelped in pain and dug his teeth into his neck. He landed on the ground a few yards away from Sakura.
Trowa and Duo were closing in on the animal from behind as Quatre, Wufei, and Usagi edged towards Sakura.
Heero turned when he heard the cry, he was faintly aware of flying sideways. Turning he looked at the small bundle of a girl that had thrown him sideways out of harms way.
'Sakura' Heero gently laid aside the girl and charged at the beast angrily.
Duo had shifted into a warlock, he and Quatre sent out an attack towards Narion. It struck his body, and left him stumbling drunkenly around the room, Trowa's sword came slicing through his neck and Heero broke off one of his legs with his mouth.
Wufei narrowed his eyes, the thing was still moving as if in it's death throes.
"The heart!" Wufei yelled as the dismembered parts of it's body slipped from the floor and reconnected with it's body.
Heero snarled in pain as Narion's horn drove itself into his leg, turning he dug his mouth into his chest.
Narion's body shuddered and started to convulse terribly as Heero dug deeper into his chest. Heero then withdrew from Narion's chest and spat out the black heart. Heero's paw squashed it into nothing, spitting flecks of dark blood out of his mouth Heero turned towards Sakura.
Duo was already there, cradling her tightly.
Quatre looked up towards Pegasus, "Can you heal her?"
Pegasus shook his head, "I am sorry but I cannot."
Heero felt his frame quiver with rage, "Is she alright?" He managed to make it out in a short bark.
Duo shook his head, "She's wounded in so many places, we need to get her in the light so we can see where she's wounded."
Pegasus turned to Usagi, "Usagi, I can only transport you back to the waking world. Is that enough."
Usagi nodded her head as she took Sakura's body from Duo's hands.
Trowa looked up as he cut the gauze. "Someone will have to come in and change her bandages every morning. Or else she will bleed when she takes off the bandage."
Heero nodded his head, "I will."
Usagi covered her face and sat in the chair next to Sakura's bed. Uncovering her face she sighed wearily.
"She almost died!"
Trowa remained silent, "Now all of us must protect her only."
Wufei nodded his head, "Now that she has both parts of her soul."
Li brushed Sakura's hair away from her face, "She has a stab wound in the side, head wound, bruised and broken all over...It's a wonder how she could even get up after that."
Heero felt angry guilt, Quatre placed his hand on Heero's shoulder, "Heero, it's all our faults."
Heero grunted in reply as he walked out of the room.
Li was the last one left in the room, he kneeled down and kissed Sakura on the lips.
"When will this end..." He bit his lip, fighting back an urge unsuccessfully. He trailed his lips down to her neck. Before stopping and glancing at Sakura's sleeping face.
Duo clenched his hand into a fist and punched the bag of sand angrily. Heero glanced towards Duo, "What's wrong with you."
"What do you freaking think!"
Heero narrowed his eyes, "Would you forget about it! It's Sakura's choice."
Duo sighed, "Yea, but I want her for myself."
Wufei looked back and laughed, "What makes you think she's going to go for you?"
Duo made a face at Wufei before continuing his punching.
They were in the humongous pine floored gym, Quatre had been able to put a small cafeteria type area where there was a place to get food. Usagi was there now munching on a peach.
Trowa laid his sword down in the rack that hung from the wall.
Volgon watched them silently before closing his eyes in thought, the portal closed.
"So...My black heart didn't work...how many failed trials must be before I have her in my grasp."
Oh, okay people, I'd appreciate it if you wanted to put a suggested person with Sakura. Cause I'm kinda like, "which one" right now. Please review, it makes me feel HAPPY!!!! Lol luv ya~QT-chan
