Author's notes: Well, what have I got to say? So, in this chapter, Syaoran and Sakura will start their exciting adventures in the world where all the hellish things can be experienced and where the good never dwells. Can they survive the evil that has been unleashed?
And, oh! Many reviewers want Eriol to have a spot in the story so, I gave the nerdy boy a chance! Eriol is in the fan fic now but…not for long. Maybe in phone calls or whatsoever. He's not going to be in Japan. And to those E+T freaks, sorry. But this is the last time I'll remind you Tomoyo is paired to Touya. I like Eriol a lot because, he's so handsome but…I don't want him being partnered to Tomoyo even though he is in my first fan fiction. It's because many people wants them. Hiiragizawa Eriol is actually Mizuki Kaho's possession in the manga. And…I guess that's all right because he's nearly a hundred years old. And…I find the couple great. And…um…please forgive me for my pathetic grammar. English is never my first language.
Disclaimer: I don't own CARDCAPTOR SAKURA and it's outstanding characters because CLAMP claims the credit. But I own this plot, okay? So whatever evil plans you're planning, *talk about evil scheme* better not carry it out. I just want to have fun!!

CHAPTER 7: A WORLD WORSE THAN HELL
Syaoran quickly entered his room, taking a quick look outside to see if the coast is clear and no one's following him. Then finally he shut the door behind him. So far, after having been to Ai's house, he can't control the fear creeping through him. He's holding the book very firmly, thinking that it might just fly and let loose. The truth about this Ai girl made him feel queasy. Walking back and forth inside his room, his hand cupped his chin he tried to push away frightening thoughts but still, panic shot through him. He must think. He must think very, very carefully. Ai is never a normal person. Ah, that's why… something inside him said. I must do something before it's too late He felt a wave of extreme fear and an unexpected feeling of danger churn through his mind. Will I let Sakura know? he wondered. She's still the Card Mistress and she deserves to know this but…I must think carefully and never be hasty "AGHHH!!" He doesn't know what he will first do. Everything seems to be very complicated but…he must be fast too because this concerns the whole world. And if he doesn't act the right way he should…then everything will slip up and it will be his responsibility. Whoa! Don't panic Syaoran! You're not a normal person. You're a sorcerer too remember?

The antagonists…
Ai bows in front of her master as Shuzo emerged in the air. She returned to her typical form wherein she bears a resemblance to a hitana (A.N. I don't really know how it's spelled but I typed the way it's pronounced). Her formerly thick red lips returned to the usual black. She got into her knees and spoke, "Master, after a long wait…at last…I've stolen the Sakura cards. Take a hold of these numinous cards. They're all yours now, Master Shuzo." Shuzo's eyes flickered intensely, his mouth slowly curving into an evil smile. He grabbed it then fingered one card with enthusiasm. Then, he began tossing the cards one by one. Prepare for your new king, mystic ball!! (A.N. I made some changes. If you want, browse the chapter 1, An Evil scheme and the Mystic ball. This mystic ball is the earth)
Ai gaped at him mischievously. He tossed more cards in the air. And soon, he's laughing like a madman and his right-hand woman chimed in. Shuzo waved his hands vehemently in the air while chanting strange incantations. All the cards formed a vertical line in a row, and then they moved towards him, like magnetic objects. Shuzo held up his hands and welcomed them. "Kyoko…the book…give me the magical book," he ordered, his gaze focused on the Sakura cards. "Yes, Master," she said, bowing. She went back to human form. She rushed to the apartment and up the stairs to her room. She threw open the door and started searching. She snapped her fingers, remembering where she placed it. She smirked and tilted her head at the right side of her bed. She gasped knowing it's not there. Eyes widening, she started to panic. It's where I previously positioned it! She grabbed her head, a surge of horror rose from inside her. Sou na!! her mind screamed. The magical book is missing!!
"WHAT?!!!" Shuzo shrieked. (A.N. Better call the girly Kyoko now) "Master, s-somebody had stolen the magical book!" she tried to explain feeling at loss for words. Shuzo's exhilaration escaped at once. Okay, he got the cards but…the second most important element has been gone…vanished! Kyoko can't even stare at his enraged, black face. She had been very pale. Thinking they had been very successful now, all those ideas were abandoned. The loss of the book can destroy the kingdom of Teikoku instantly. "I told you to protect that book all the way…what have you done, Kyoko?" he rasped, his evil eyes remained on her. She had the feeling that she will melt before his eyes because of that stare. Calm down, Kyoko she thought. He's not going to harm you, honest "D-datte (but)…master…I've always protected the book!" she protested, stuttering.
He shot another evil eye on her. "Do you think you can convince me easily?" he whispered. "If all my plans had gone down the drain you better seek for the best place to hide," he said in a fearsome voice. "Because I'll break you…even your bones won't evade my fierce crusher." Kyoko's heart boomed within her chest in downright fear. She tried to make a playful smile. "Master…you can't do that to me." Shuzo smiled and crooked a finger. "Try me," he whispered hoarsely. Kyoko stepped back, her mind screaming, 'RUN! RUN!' She tried to speak but her mouth can't say anything because of intense fear. Shuzo aimed his hand towards her. Kyoko dropped to her knees. She saw several pricks of blue light, circling her body. Soon the light gradually became yellow, and then it grew. Then, she's floating up in the air. "AGHHHHH!!!!!!" she yelled. When she's almost reaching the clouds, she dropped on the ground in an excruciating heap. She tried to move, but she can't. She felt all her bones had been broken. She nibbled her lip in pain. "M-master…" she moaned in anguish. "Retrieve the book, Kyoko. This is your last chance…"

That night…
Tomoyo startled awake because of the soft, upset moans she heard. She rubbed her eyes and look around the room. Looking at the bed beside her, she realized it was Sakura. Lifting her long nightgown, she rushed to her side and began shaking her. "Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!! Wake up, come on!!" she called. Sakura kept on moaning. Tomoyo continued shaking her body until, finally, she's awake. "Sakura…daijoubu desu ka (Are you alright)?!!" she asked, sitting up Sakura on the bed. Tomoyo heard that Sakura's heart is thundering loudly, her body coated with sweat. Sakura can't speak, she's just staring at Tomoyo with her eyes widening. Her mouth opened but no sound came out. "Sakura-chan!!" Tomoyo shouted. Sakura snapped back then blinked her eyes. "S-Syaoran-kun…and the…the cards…in danger!!" she exclaimed, holding tightly the key of star, placed on her neck. "Sakura-chan…calm down…" Tomoyo said. Frantically, Sakura got up and went to the other room. She spotted the cabinet and opened it. She saw Kero soundly sleeping. Quietly she looked inside that cabinet, where the cards are placed. A cold chill ran through her body realizing… "Th-the cards…are gone…" she whispered. She called Kero and woke him up. Kero too was so shocked. "How did this happen?" he rasped, cupping his chin with his hand. "I-I don't know," Sakura answered, her eyes still widening as she sat down on bed. Suddenly she shot up. She looked again inside the cabinet. "Wait! There's one left! The light card!" she exclaimed. "Right but…still…the other cards are missing. We have to retrieve them back," Kero said. "I suppose you should call Hiiragizawa-kun in England to ask him about this," Tomoyo evoked, handling her the phone. Sakura nodded sadly and punched in the numbers. Sakura waits for someone to answer while drumming her fingers. After 8 rings, somebody got it.
"Yes?"
"Moshi Moshi…Kinomoto Sakura desu…is Eriol there?"
"Hai. This is Nakuru-chan, Sakura! Ikaga desu ka (How are you)?"
"Um…ore wa genki desu (I'm okay) um…Nakuru…I think you should give Eriol the phone now,"
"Alright…"
After…
"Hai…Sakura this is Eriol in the line,"
"Eriol-kun…the cards had disappeared! Demo…the one who stole them forgot to get the light card,"
"I know…"
"You do?! Why didn't you tell me?"
"The enemy is stopping me. Good thing you succeeded in phoning me,"
"Wh-what's happening?! I can't understand!"
"Someone's planning to conquer the world,"
"Dare (who)?"
"They are a million creatures,"
"What's the connection of the cards to this mess?"
Silence…
"The cards are the most important ingredients for the enemies to succeed. They wanted to take over the world and make human kind the residents of their own world,"
"And they will use my cards to accomplish their evil plans?"
"Sou desu (Right),"
"Am I too late, Eriol-kun?"
"Perhaps…but you can still do something,"
"What is it?"
"Go to their world and fight them,"
"I guess…there's no other choice,"
"Gomen ne, Sakura-chan, if I can't fight with you. It seems to be a little late and…"
"That's fine with me. I can do it, Eriol-kun,"
"Whatever happens, you still have one card with you. It depends on your strategy on how you will use it. I have the faith that it will be able to help you,"
"Arigato gozaimashta (Thank you very much),"
Sakura hung up the phone and quickly drew her shawl over her shoulders. Then, she pulled her hair and tresses it tightly. Kero and Tomoyo looked at each other worriedly. "Where are you going late at night?" Tomoyo asked her. Sakura gave out a weary sigh. "I-I'm going to Syaoran-kun!" she murmured then she spun on her low heels and ran down the stairs.

Syaoran…
Li Syaoran opened his eyes. He's feeling a strange and powerful aura. He embraced the book in his arms very tightly. He sat up on bed and looked around. Sighing, he realized no one's there. But he shot up. He's wrong. Somebody's there, watching him. Evil eyes… are watching him intimately. He set the lamp open. He stared around the room with curious eyes. Still, there's nobody inside with him. "Show yourself! Be brave enough and don't conceal yourself in the shadows!!" he ordered, preparing his sword and powerful cards. (A.N. I don't know if that's how they term Syaoran's other weapon wherein he utters "Raitei Shourai!" or "Kashin shourai" I don't really know so just never mind that!) Syaoran waited and soon, somebody slowly walked out the dark. Syaoran narrowed his eyes. At first, Syaoran can hardly recognize the person but he tried to figure it out by means of aura. (A.N. Y' know the aura thingy) "You!" he declared. The girl made an impish smile and laughed softly. "You're evil, Ai!" Syaoran spoke in a hoarse voice. His eyes seethed with anger.
Kyoko cleared her throat. "I shouldn't be laughing now. You, you're the one who had stolen the book!" Syaoran grabbed the book and stepped forward. "Is this what you're looking for, huh Ai?! Gomen because I'm not giving it to you. Never!" Kyoko clenched her fists but she tried to look calm. "Please don't shout at me. Don't you like it? I'm visiting you," Kyoko said. "And please…my name has never been Ai. It's KYOKO all the time." She sat on one of the chairs then she crossed her legs, exposing her faultless buttocks. Syaoran held the book more firmly. "All your evil plans won't be accomplished. Because I and Sakura will be a burden…we'll never let you succeed." Kyoko chuckled softly. "Sou desu ka (Is that so)? Well, I guess that's soo bad." Syaoran glared at her, his whole body seething. I want to kill you at this very moment he thought. "But the Sakura cards are on our hands now. What can you say about that, huh, Syaoran? Will we still lose when we hold the supreme alas for you? " she whispered in a flat voice. Syaoran's body stiffened. Cold sweat rolled down his face. He falls into a fit of rage. He can no longer control himself. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her upright. Then, he took a tight seize on her neck. "Give me back the cards!!!" he cried, tightening his grip on her neck.
Kyoko's eyes turned gray and her lips became white. She can't suck in air and her lungs ached. She tried to struggle but Syaoran's hands are very strong indeed. Choking, she decided to use her little powers. She tried to concentrate. Syaoran noticed his hands trembled. He collapsed on the floor with a loud thud. He gritted his teeth as he moaned in intense pain. "I've wasted too much time here, Syaoran. Now, I'm ordering you. Give me back the book!!!" she yelled, her eyes bulging and her hair carried with the strong wind wafting inside the room. Syaoran isn't budged. Instead, he tightened his hold on the book. "You better run and save yourself. You can't get this stupid book away from my grip!" he warned. "That's what you think, Li Syaoran," Kyoko said. "Let's see if you're really strong in the same way you think you are!" Syaoran held the book tighter as he sought for refuge because of the really strong wind. He pushed his long bangs away as he struggled to stand up. The wind continued to blow stronger and stronger. Kyoko is chanting strange incantations. Soon a huge black hole appeared before them. It seemed to be endless. Syaoran stepped back noticing that something's pulling him toward the opening. "Whoa!! Wait!! What's it doing to me?!" Syaoran cried, panicking. Kyoko moved her way towards the hole and soon, she's absorbed by it. Syaoran's eyes widened with what he saw. It's going to do the same thing to him. Hit by the terrifying realization, he grabbed the legs of his bed as the wind kept on blowing. The thing is devouring him. "Tasukete kudasai (Please…help)!!" He's hopeless. The opening will engulf him and he doesn't know where he'll lead. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted. His voice echoed around the room and nobody seems to hear him. The opening made it. He dropped to the seemingly never-ending hole. He doesn't have any idea that he will lead to place much worse than hell.

Sakura threw open the door of Syaoran's room. "Syaoran-kun!" she gasped, panting. She looked around the big room and noticed that Syaoran is not on his bed. She began to search the whole room. Only then, she realized that no one's there. She seated on one of the chairs and tried to calm herself. What now? I don't even know where I'll start…where are you…Syaoran? She sighed, feeling so hopeless. Suddenly, she felt the wind blowing hard and it chilled her to the bone. She tightened the shawl around her. Walking about, she caught sight of a large opening. She enlarged her eyes in bewilderment. "What's this stuff?" she whispered to herself. Just then, she realized that something is dragging her towards it. "HOE!!! Help!!" she yelled. The wind blew harder and the force is growing powerfully. What's it doing to me?!! Kero-chan help me! Syaoran-kun! Where are you!! Realizing there's nothing else she can do, she decided to allow herself be absorbed by it. Her hands pressed together she closed her eyes and soon, she disappeared.

"Ugh…" Sakura moaned. Noise startled her awake. She gently opened her eyes and saw some strange looking people running. Their boots splashed the water and mud went straight to Sakura's face. She ran and ran, wiping the mud from her face. She continued to run and she realized she doesn't even know where she is. "What's this place?!" she exclaimed softly as she looked around. She noticed some residents looking intently at her, some are laughing at her. This place gives me the creeps she thought. The entire place is so dark. She can barely see anything. She bumped on some people. "Gomen nasai!" she said then continued to run. Seeing is so hard for her. She decided to get help. She began to chant the incantations.
"Key that uses the power of the stars,
Appear before me in your true form
I, Sakura the one in contact with you
Commands it, RELEASE!!!"
Sakura gazed at the light card and smiled. "I need your help now…Light…help me see," she whispered hoarsely. "LIGHT CARD!!!" she shouted as she tossed the card in the air. She stopped and rubbed her forehead feeling a headache coming on. She realized some people hate light. They walked away from her with their hands covered their eyes. Who cares? I need light She sat on one of the roots of the trees, panting. "Syaoran-kun…whatever this place is…I know you're here," she softly said. She was about to close her eyes and sleep again when somebody covered her mouth and grabbed her.
