X 19
The Clow Joker tried to use a Clow card, but to its shock, nothing happened.
"What the-" The demon realized that it was tricked.
Yao seized the chance and attacked it from behind. The demon wasn't quick enough to escape from his tight grip.
Li followed his friend and slashed the demon on the chest.
Meiling woke up slowlyand found herself ina beautiful garden full of jasmines. She looked around admiringly.
She was startled to when she felt something was placed on her head. She looked upa nd saw Yao smiling at her.
She touched her head and felt something soft. She took it off to get a better look.
It was a crown made from the flowers of jasmine.
Yao took it and placed it back on her hair again. "Don't take it off yet. It looks good on you," he said quietly.
She blushed. "You are very kind."
His raven eyes averted hers. "Hsieh hsieh."
Suddenly a chilly gust of wind blew her crown away. Meiling chased after it, but by the time she reached it, the petals of the flowers were gone.
She turned back to Yao. "My crown-" She blinked. He was gone.
As more gusts of wind played around her, she heard Yao's voice.
"Wo ai ni, Mei. You are life's best blessing to me."
For some reason, Meiling suddenly felt inconsolable grief.
Eriol gently tapped Meiling. "Wake up. You're dreaming."
She opened her eyes weakly. The garden of jasmines was no more. "Yao?"
He looked down. "He's in there." He pointed to the masamune.
"Y-You're kidding."
"No," Eriol said. "Lindon Boy will never lie."
Meiling's eyes widened. "H-Hiragizawa!"
The demon was still alive and was very strong. It managed to throw Yao to LI, causing the boys to fall down the ground together.
"Syaoran! Yao!" screamed Sakura.
Yue and Cerberus prepared to attack, but to their dismay, they remembered that their magic won't work in this dimension anymore.
The Clow Joker was in a rampage. "Why can't I use the Clow cards??!!"
Yao helped Li up and pointed at the demon's wounds. "Look!"
The chest wound magically healed.
Li was stunned. "How did that happen?"
"Magic doesn't work here, right?" asked Cerberus nervously.
Spinel Sun sighed deeply. "I'm afraid the Joker has already discovered its ultimate power."
"Huh?"
"The Clow Joker possesses an elixir to ensure that it lives long enough to balance the forces of the Clow cards," explained Ruby Moon.
"What's an elixir?" Sakura wanted to know.
"An elixir is anything that is capable of prolonging life indefinitely," explained Yue. "It seems that the Joker's elixir is already a physical part of it."
"So the demon is unkillable?" asked LI.
The Clow Joker cackled. "Clow Reed is not as intelligent and all-knowing as you all think. He shouldn't have bestowed upon me this power."
Li weakly stepped back. "So that means even if Yao and I kill it.."
"..it will only heal itself again," finished Yao.
