AN: WAI!! I can't believe it! ^///^ I got 70 reviews for chapter eight! Wai, I'm so happy! I was actually sad because I'm worrying about my best friend right now, and I've been sorta depressed lately, but when I saw my reviews, I became happy! THANKSSSSSSSS, GUYS!!!

Hee-hee, I also saw (and bought) Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 1 ($30, can you believe it?!). Of course, I bought the subtitled version, seeing that the dubbed one is really, really corny and sucky (no offence to those who think its cool). But all I can say is...I love that movie!

It's sooo sweet, and it'll be great in my collection of anime merchandise! Heh-heh, and I also got to see the true nature of the Li sisters, I was soo right! And Yelan...well, I saw a few pictures of her before, but as Kero-chan said in the movie, "She looks like the head mistress of the freaks." Hehe, but she's cool!

Kero: I can't believe that gaki (brat) is here with us today...

Syaoran: Hey, who are you calling a gaki?!

Kero:. Uh, you.

Syaoran: *stress mark* ARGHHHHH!

Kiyone: Guys, stop it, you're upsetting me!

azngurL: *sweatdrop* Well anyway...Yup, the kawaii and handsome Li Syaoran is here today!!

Syaoran: *blush* um, t-thanks, A-San.

azngurL: ^///^ Well, last chapter's question was What is Syaoran's favorite food? And the answer was either Chocolate or Dim Sum. Hee-hee, a lot of people got it right! Syaoran-kun is really popular amongst the ladies!

Syaoran: *blush*

Kiyone: Here's the list of those who answered right!

azngurL: And the prize is...

Kero: KISSES FROM THE GAKI!!!!!!!!!!

azngurL, Kiyone, Syaoran : E?!

Kero: Haha! I just BET that all these fine lovely girls would want kisses from this gaki!

Syaoran: No way I'm kissin' them!

Kero: But just look at them! Don't you think that one over there is kawaii? Or that one over could actually share your FaNTaSy? In A-chan's story, you're still waiting for someone to share your FaNTaSY, why not that Cherry Angel girl over there? She seems reasonable enough.

Syaoran: I can't kiss them, and I'm NOT gonna kiss them!

Kero: Why not? You have so many to choose from. Here about this one, Lady Sutaa! Or CherryBlossom127, her name is SAKURA in Japanese, Syaoran. *wink, wink*

Syaoran: STOPPPPP!

azngurL: Kero-chan, stop it! Sakura-chan's gonna get mad, stop forcing Syaoran-kun and lay off him! *grabs Kero and throws him away*

Kero: !!!! I'M GONNA COME BAAAAAACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

Kiyone: *sweatdrop* Good riddens..

Syaoran: Tell me about it.

azngurL: But what are we gonna give them??

Syaoran: ...Hold up. *leaves room*

azngurL: Oookay... Well, since Syaoran-kun is gonna be gone for a while, I take it...Just read on and see what happens after the story, see ya later! R&R onegai!

A Winged Angel
Chapter Nine ~ A Dark Dream Relived
by, azngurL
**

Sakura was cornered in the dark alley with no where to run. She was scared, scared of these two strangers...These strangers who were dressed in black and looked like they were about thirty. Her back against the wall, there was no use of escaping.

"W-What do you want? I'll do anything!" Sakura exclaimed with nervousness in her voice.

One of the strangers smirked, "All we want...Is you." He said while reaching his arm to her waist. He pulled her close, their bodies meeting.

Sakura looked up at the stranger. "P-Please stop it," She whispered as she stared at the stranger. He had black eyes, his dark hair streaked with red. The other with blue streaked over his. She tried to grabbed loose of his grip, but it was no use. The other was already trying to take off her clothes. "S-stop!!!!!!!" She screamed.

Her scream, filled with despair, finding its source of solace...But it seemed...It seemed like that no one could help her anymore...Like her past.

**

Syaoran's head shot up, his eyes widened. It was as if like he heard her scream, her scream searching for solace. Her scream full of angst. "...Sakura?"

"Xiaolang, what's wrong?" Ai-Yung asked as she took his arm.

The Li women all turned their gaze towards Syaoran, all full of concern.

Syaoran stood up, he could still her screams. "Sakura.." He whispered as he ran out of the room as the women in the room were left in confusion.

**

Syaoran ran and ran, faster than he's ever ran before. He heard her screams thorough his mind...But how? "Sakura, you're in trouble!!" He thought as he ran into the direction where he felt her aura coming from. It led him to a dark alley and he walked slowly in it...Finding two men, raping Sakura.

One was on top of her, and there was a massive amount of blood around her body. A fire of rage burned inside of Syaoran and as he was filled with anger, he quickly beat up the two strangers. The two of them pulled out weapons, but Syaoran immediately kicked it out of their hands and continued to beat both of them up.

Syaoran then turned his gaze to one and kicked him down, but the other with the blue streaked over his hair picked up his gun and shot it at his shoulder. "Shit!" He yelled as he winced back, but he charged at the both of them and gave them the beating of their lives.

They were so battered up, that they ran away from Syaoran, and left the helpless body of Sakura lying on the floor. Her skirt was torn, the buttons on her shirt all opened up, her eyes half-lit with tears streaming down...And the blood all around her seeped through her skin...

"Sakura!" He gasped as he went near her. "Oh my God!" He picked her up and started to run towards the hospital.

As he ran, ignoring the stares of the passing people, he heard Sakura groan...,"S...S...Syaoran...?" She breathed heavily, as if her soul was leaving her, "I....I don't w...wanna die y-yet...," Her hot tears streamed down again.

"Listen, you're not going to die, Sakura! You hear me?! You're a strong person, you're not going to die!" Syaoran exclaimed, still running.

"Syao... ran ... why is everything dark ...? " Sakura whispered, then she passed out.

"S-Sakura!"

**

The phone rang in the Li family household, and Yelan went to pick it up. The Li sisters and Ai-Yung sat at the living room, waiting to hear anything from Xiaolang.

Suddenly, Yelan's face had filled with worries and concern. "Yes...Yes...Okay, we'll be there," Yelan put the phone down and looked at the Li sisters and Ai-Yung. "Fanren, call Meiling, tell her to come to the hospital." She said.

Fanren stood up. "Why, Mother?" She asked.

"It appears that...Sakura... She has been raped by two people... And Xiaolang was shot in his arm," Yelan said as tears became to form. "Come o-on... Feimei, call Wei.."

"O-Okay.." Fanren and Feimei said as they did what they were told to do.

Siefen collapsed on her knees. "Oh my God, oh my God...Oh my God, please let them be safe!" She cried.

Fuutie knelt down beside her. "Siefen, it's alright. Xiaolang is strong, he can...always make it. And Meimei, she's strong too, she shouldn't let your hopes down...Just pray for now." She said.

Feimei came running into the room. "M-Mother, Wei's ready!" She exclaimed.

Yelan began to walk to the door, but turned around, with the tears on her face. "Are you coming...Miss Ai-Yung?"

Ai-Yung didn't know what to say, but she trembled. "Alright.."

**

"Is she a-alright...?" Syaoran asked, weakly from his bed, staring at the ceiling.

The pretty, young nurse walked over to him with a clipboard in her arms, and she smiled a reassuring smile. "Yes...Yes, she's alright, you shouldn't worry so much," She replied. "But, you shouldn't be concerning yourself right now...That operation you just went through is supposed to make you weak, so don't even bother trying to get up, okay? Just rest for awhile."

Syaoran sighed heavily. "Alright.."

"Xiaolang!!! Xiaolang!!" Yelan screamed as she came running through the door, passing through the nurse. She ran to his bed and collapsed on her knees at the bedside. "Thank goodness, thank goodness..." She whispered as she started to cry.

Even though he wasn't supposed to, he sat up a bit and smiled at his mother, then put his hand on her shoulder. Yelan stood up slowly. "Is Sakura alright?" She asked.

"I don't really know...," Syaoran whispered. "I wanna see her...Argh, this is all my fault! All my fault for letting her go off alone!" He yelled.

"It isn't your fault, it isn't your fault! We didn't know!" Yelan exclaimed.

"Yeah it is! If Ai-Yung and I hadn't gotten together, she wouldn't have been off wandering off alone! I know those two people who raped her, I do, they're from my school...I knew that they usually hang out there. I knew ...," Tears formed in his eyes, unknowingly to his mother. "I didn't do what I supposed to do for her..."

Yelan smiled softly. "...Xiaolang, I know you love her...But...Why won't you admit yourself to her? Why did you suddenly go with this Ai-Yung girl...? If you were honest with yourself, then her family's wish would be fulfilled, and both of you can finally be happy!" She stood up. "I know that arranged marriage with you and Meiling didn't work out, and it was wrong of me to even have it arranged with the Elders, but...I learned that you're just better off finding your own happiness. ... And it seems as if you've found it."

Syaoran kept silent. "She's right...She's right, I should just be honest with myself and with her...Instead of lying to her...I feel so terrible...I could just imagine now how she felt on that night where she confided in me...Sakura.."

"Xiaolang!!" Ai-Yung yelled as she came running through the doors, to his bed. "Are you okay?!"

Syaoran turned his gaze away. "Yeah, I'm fine...," He looked at the nurse. "Miss...Can I see Sakura?"

Ai-Yung became surprised and yet confused. "W-What? I came here, I'm your girlfriend, and yet...You wanna see her?! Not me?!"

"Sorry, Ai-Yung, but I'm just worried," Syaoran replied calmly as he watched the nurse come over to her. It seemed like she was Japanese, so she turned to Yelan.

"Do you know Japanese, Ms. Li?" The nurse asked.

Yelan nodded. "I've studied in Japan." She replied.

"Oh! How good! I know that Miss Kinomoto is Japanese too! ...Ahem...Michiko desu (I'm Michiko) I can tell that your son must really love Kinomoto-san... so I'm gonna break the rules a little and let him see her. I hate this sort of thing you see? And even though that other girl may be his girlfriend, it shouldn't really matter, so...I believe he is able to walk, just help him to Kinomoto-san's room, she's in the 4th room." Michiko said in her native language.

Yelan smiled. "Arigatou gozaimasu, Michiko (Thank you very much, Michiko). Arigatou..," She replied in Japanese as she turned to Syaoran. "Come on, son, let's go see Sakura."

Syaoran smiled, and Yelan helped him up to walk to Sakura's room. As they both entered, a doctor was there and so was a nurse who was checking Sakura's IV. The doctor was reading notes on a clipboard, then suddenly looked up. "What? Mr. Li, you're supposed to be in your room!" The doctor exclaimed.

"I'm alright, I just wanna see Sakura!" Syaoran exclaimed as he walked over to her bedside. She was still, her eyes closed, and she was breathing silently.

"Mr. Li, I suggest that you go back to your room, you know—" The doctor started.

Yelan stepped up in front of him. "This is his choice, let him be," She started to walk out of the door, but turned her head around slightly. "Doctor, may I speak with you outside?" The doctor went outside and the nurse quickly left.

"Sakura...Hey, Sakura...C'mon, wake up...," Syaoran whispered as he nudged her. There was no answer and he laid his forehead on the bed. "...I'm sorry."

He suddenly felt her hand on his head, trying to find its way to his face. Sakura cupped his face and he looked up at her. She slightly opened her eyes and smiled as she turned her head slowly to him. "Syaoran...There's no need to be sorry.." Whispered Sakura.

His eyes lit up and he smiled. "Sakura...! You're awake!"

"Y-Yeah..."

He turned his gaze away. "I guess that it's my fault. Actually, it is. If I hadn't gotten together with Ai-Yung, I don't think none of this would've happened! But I swear, the next time I see those guys, I'm gonna kill them."

"Heh-heh...So brave...And courageous...I've never had someone like that for me...But I guess my brother was an exception."

"I heard your screams, your plea for help...Your voice was crying out ..."

"That's because I knew that you would come help me, Syaoran..."

A silence started between them. "I wasn't thinking right..." He said.

"...What do you mean?"

"I mean, when I got together with Ai-Yung, I wasn't thinking, and I don't know why. All this time, I thought you only thought of me as someone like your brother or something, someone to protect you. Of course, I would go out of my way just to watch over you, but...I never thought that you had those feelings for me."

She continued to stare at him, her eyes filled with confusion.

"...I was confused...Confused of what you might say if...if...If I admitted something to you. You call me brave and courageous, but when it comes to Love, I can't be so courageous...Because, I'm afraid that the person I fell in love with won't love me...

"...Sakura, when you told me what you felt about me, I became happy, I was enlightened, and yet...I couldn't comfort you when you were crying. ...I wanted to hold you because you were crying, but then it would seem wrong...I really love Ai-Yung, Sakura...but...I don't know how to feel anymore..." He said.

"Syaoran..."

"I know now how you felt before...How you didn't want to fall in love ever again. I'm at where you were, and at this point, I don't know if I can love anybody else..."

She became silent. "Love's a confusing thing, but every decision we make in life has consequences, Syaoran, my father taught me that. My father was a professor at a university and my mother was his student. The decision they made together had consequences, one being that my brother and I were born and another being that she died after I was born...

"We all set goals for ourselves, and we work hard to achieve that goal, we don't let anything get in our way. We make decisions along the way...Decisions like sacrificing friendships or separating from people, and once you made our decision, we wait for the repercussions...I know you had your dreams, and your fantasies too...You wanna share your fantasies and dreams with someone...but the question is...who?" She asked.

"...The person I wanna share my dreams with...My fantasy..."

"...It doesn't matter if the person you wanna share your dream with isn't interested in you, but...they'll always go out of their way to help you, Syaoran."

Syaoran became silent, then all of a sudden the door opened, revealing it to be Ai-Yung. "Xiaolang, why did you suddenly leave?" Ai-Yung asked.

Syaoran got up and turned to Ai-Yung. "...Sorry, I just was worried about Sakura..."

"Oh...okay...So, Sakura, are you feeling better?" Ai-Yung asked.

Sakura turned her gaze away from Ai-Yung, and towards the window. "Yeah, I guess. They told me nothing was wrong with me after the incident."

Everyone became silent and Sakura suddenly felt light-headed. **

Sakura's POV

Syaoran wants to share his dreams with Ai-Yung, I wanna share my dreams with him, but it can't work out, it can't...Maybe I getting raped by those two guys wasn't just a coincidence. I only bring people death... Okasan (Mother)...Otosan (Father)...Onii-chan (Big brother)...Masami...My whole family and...the only love of my life. My true love...and I killed him too.

**

Third POV

Sakura's head shot up quickly and both Syaoran and Ai-Yung watched her. "It was an accident!" Sakura cried out while tears rolled down her face.

"What? What was an accident?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura trembled and fear shook her. "Masami...It was an accident, I didn't mean t...to..." She suddenly fainted.

"S-Sakura!" Syaoran exclaimed as he ran to her. He held her up. "Sakura! Sakura! Ai-Yung, get the doctor in here now!"

Ai-Yung stood there, still, and she hesitated greatly as she walked back a bit. To see Syaoran so worried about Sakura made her start to think that he would only be with her and only her.

"Ai-Yung!" Syaoran yelled louder.

Ai-Yung ran out of the door and walked towards the doctor who was talking to Yelan. "Doctor, Sakura has fainted!" She exclaimed.

"What?!" The doctor shrieked as he ran into the room, leaving Yelan and Ai-Yung there.

They watched as the doctor ran in, then turn their gazes to each other. "Ai-Yung, do you really love my son...?" Yelan asked.

Ai-Yung nodded her head. "Yes..."

"But do you like Sakura?" Yelan asked.

"...Y...Yeah..."

"You hesitate in your answer, and I take it you dislike Sakura for having strong feelings for my son, right? Yelan asked as she walked over to the door, where the doctor was examining Sakura and Syaoran was standing nearby. "My son has strong feelings for you, but his will for the person he so yearns for is stronger." She walked in.

"Stronger?" Ai-Yung asked herself.

azngurL: End of chapter eight! Yelan wants Ai-Yung out of the picture!! Haha! ^///^ And now...for the preview of the next chapter, Trouble For Ai-Yung

preview from next chapter:

"Why are you busy, Xiaolang? You promised me that you would come with me and my friends." Ai-Yung said.

"I can't anymore, Ai-Yung..." Syaoran replied.

"Why?"

"Sakura needs me at home."

Ai-Yung looked at him; a look of disgust.

**

azngurL: So, Syaoran-kun, what'cha give them?

Syaoran: Um.. well, I gave them uh...AHEM...Just ask that plush toy over there.
