I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooww, if y'all know wot I mean. And now, before I bore y'all w/ my chitchat-about-nonsense speech, the FICCY!!!!!!

Breif Recap: Eriol, Sakura, and Syaoran burst into the room that Steven had Tomoyo in.

There was a deathly silence. And Tomoyo trying hard to control the magical tears which threatened to spill over from humiliation, especially because Syaoran and Eriol were there. After a few extremely tense moments, which seemed like each second was stretched into a small eternity, Steven cackled like a maniac. Sakura just stared, Eriol and Syaoran just barely containing themselves, started to advance, sword and scepter in hand. Still Steven laughed.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! OHHHHHHHHH! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SCARED!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAAAAAAAAA! HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! Two little BOYS are here to stop me!!!!! AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!" Steven shrieked like a madman between outbursts of evil laughter.

"Ha! You don't seem to know who we are, do you?" Eriol asked coolly, but there was hate and fury written, as if inscribed, all over his face. Sakura and Syaoran were almost surprised that Eriol was showing any kind of anger, because he was always smiling, and here he was, practically glowing with rage.

"And who would you beeeeeeeee, but HHHAAAAAAHAAAAHAHHHHHAAAAA but some sorcerer wannabe!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!" Steven spat out contemptuously. And he jerked Tomoyo crazily a few times with desire. She grunted a few times as her remaining clothes were almost tossed off.

"STOP! STOP IT NOW! Onegai…" Sakura screamed, trembling uncontrollably. Tomoyo was crying again. This time, though, her tears somehow formed a watery, blurred shield around her, it seemed like the rippling shield would collapse any moment, but it held. Much to everyone's surprise, especially Steven's.

"WHAT THE--!!" Steven was floating about an inch off of the shield… off of Tomoyo. Tomoyo curled up into a tight ball under the shield and wept openly to protect herself.

"You h-have MAGIC!?" Steven shrieked madly.

Sobs were his only answer from her. He went berserk and started pounding on the air above her only source of protection. Eriol chuckled, and then so did Syaoran as they began to see the humorous side of this scenario. *Steven, completely naked, hopping and screaming like a maniac on a magical shield of tears that he couldn't even touch* Sakura couldn't laugh, though. She, being a bit oblivious to her male friends' humor, only could think of the seriousness of the situation, and worried about the safety of her friend since childhood.

But then, they saw the extent of Steven's powers. Black shadows radiated from his stark form. He was screaming, yes, but not for nothing. Ancient chants and incantations tore from his raw throat and the shadows took form and became human shaped. They were darkangels (a/n: I got this from the Darkangel Trilogy by Merdith Ann Pierce, of something like that. And the books are: Darkangel, The Gathering of Gargoyles, and The Pearl of the Soul of the World…just in case any of y'all wanna read them. But personally, I think they're kinda scary -_-;), or fallen angels, which could be summoned with the correct incantations, but their was none evil enough to summon them for centuries since the medieval times. For these beings were capable of obliterating (a/n: I got that word from my vocab list for Call of the Wild, a book from school…it's interesting.) and destroying anything in their path, and no one was brave enough to call them from the cores of hellfire when any sorcerer remembered the destruction they caused in the Dark Ages so long ago.

What the--… HOLY $&!%!!! NO, it's simply not possible!! I thought-- I-I thought those incantations were lost somewhere along time since then… I-It CAN'T be! It just CAN'T! They were banished FOREVER! They can't POSSIBLY return… CAN they? OH MY GOSH! (a/n: Gomen nasai,  I keep interrupting the story at times like this, but I really am not the one to look to for cursing or swearing, and again, gomen. But back to the story…) They aren't supposed to be ABLE to return, unless… UNLESS THIS GUY IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF OR HE'S THAT EVIL! Eriol thought, starting to panic.

What in the WORLD!? WHAT'S going ON!? What ARE those things!? Am I seeing things!? Or WHAT!? AAAAAAAAAAARGH! Syaoran thought amidst turmoil. Sakura could only stare in wonder, fascination, and horror. What in the WORLD is going on!? she wondered nervously. Tomoyo had stopped crying out of shock. This was the first time, also, that she had seen Steven's powers. Steven had only enough power to conjure up one darkangel, but one was enough. Even one darkangel had the power to obliterate all of Japan at once, if it used all it's power. And only if it wanted to. You couldn't force a darkangel to do anything. They were set in their ways and they were as stubborn as rocks. They are black as the shadows of demons and have creamy white eyes, but the most horrible thing is that they are evilly handsome. Many of the females of the Dark Ages lost themselves to these soul-sucking beasts.

And now…

After hundreds of years…

Another of their kind appeared.

And all Eriol could do was watch in horror, not able to take his eyes off of the magnetizing creature forming before him. Although the others were also petrified with fear, they also stared in fascination for they did not know of the Dark Ages and were completely innocent as to the powers of this evil yet magnificent being. But for Eriol, this was torture, he knew what had taken place during the Dark Ages and what was possible now.

But as tired as Steven was, he could only manage to conjure up the spirit of the spirit (a/n: Don' ask where I get these ideas from, I don' know myself) he was trying to summon, before he collapsed.

Before anyone could say anything, there was a blinding flash of electric blue light and Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo – still nearly naked – found themselves in Eriol's mansion. Tomoyo gasped as she realized her current state, and Eriol's back was turned to all of them. He tossed a blanket over his shoulder but did not turn around, he was trying to hide his fear, he had to be strong for the sake of all of them, for all their lives depended on him… or so he thought.

Ssssoooooooooooooo… how'd ya like it!? Huh? Huh? Huh? *sounds like an EXTREMELY excited little kid* Well, PLEAAAAASEEE R&R. And I know it's kinda weird to add a supernatural thingy in the middle of this romance fic, but I don't know WHAT IN THE WORLD got into me, please tell me what y'all think!
