DISCLAIMER: I do not own Card Captor Sakura, CLAMP does. The song is Bittersweet goodbye by Kylie Minogue. It does not even fit the story but I had nothing to write. *sigh*

Fanny chan: Die die die die die die….
Chibi Fanny: I just she's very sad that people are losing interest. Sha always feel like that when nearing the end of her fic and it makes her finish very fast and the endings are very bad. Now only reviews can help her.
Tomoyo: The problem is that the reviews are getting lesser as well…
Fanny chan: =(

Summary of this story: Well, basically it is about vampires and perhaps a few other creatures of the night. S+S & E+T!

The Lure of the Moon
By Fanny chan
Unexpected oncoming deaths
Eriol felt the tight grip on his shoulders relaxed. The lovely vampire slumped into his arms, barely breathing.
Eriol's deep azure pupils looked up to come eye to eye with deep rubies. Kaho Mizuki.
Her eyes contained a crazed look. In her hand held an item, unmistakably found to be a sharp wooden stake. Eriol stood up and gave the woman one tight slap across her face. Kaho looked and him and smiled, gave him a peck on the lips and danced away.
"I killed Tomoyo! I killed Tomoyo!" she was saying in a tone used when one is on the verge of insanity. Eriol glared at the mad woman before returning his attention to Tomoyo.
Her shallow breathing terrified him. He had expected to lose his human self. Never in his life did he count that in will be the other way around. He did not one to believe it. He tried his best to deny it but he couldn't. It was a fact, a cold hard fact. Tomoyo was dying…
*******************
Syaoran's POV
I felt like my limbs were about to be torn away from me. My pulse was racing and I was trying to control these terrible urges to transform. In a way, I felt my life force draining from me but ignore that. It's not possible. Never is and never will be. I'll survive this ordeal no matter what. Suddenly, the world around me burst into brightness. I squeezed my eyes shut.
Was the sun out already? This brightness surrounding me is just like those from the sun. Did I make it through the night? Was I successful? Had I beaten the moon? Had I manage to remain unattracted to the aluring moon? I do not know. The lure of the moon… such a dangerous thing. Now, all I see is brightness, brightness and more brightness before I fell into darkness, darkness, meant not to be awaken ever again.
But somehow, by the twist of fate, I saw my angel. Her beautiful emeralds, short silky auburn hair. I was in heaven. But wait, something about this picture is not right. The sky was still dark and my angel is crying. Why? Shouldn't she be smiling instead?
I wanted to kiss those tears away but I felt so weak. So so very weak. Sakura spoke up suddenly.
"You had stressed yourself too much Syaoran. Our prayers were not answered. You're dying," and she broke into a sob as I laid there, motionless, helpless to myself and her falling tears.
End Syaoran's POV
*******************
Tomoyo's POV
I felt control returning to my body, control over my evil half but the sharp pain in my chest. It was too much to bare. Eriol was weeping over my fallen body. I know why. My human half was concious but helpless once my evil half took over.
I felt Kaho sinking that stake into my chest. I feel hatred to her, yet I felt gratitude. She had stopped me from turning Eriol into me. I don't want him to suffer the pain I went through. I want him to lead a carefree life, with or without me…
I don't know why but I felt like singing. Singing my pain and my love's sorrow away. We have to say goodbye sooner or later. Why not now? I opened my mouth and sang like never before, feeling myself transported to my younger days, when I was in elementary school. My life was so easy then, so painless, with my mother by my side.
End Tomoyo's POV
Tomoyo raised an arm to Eriol's cheek and carress it despite how weak she is. And with that, she sang.
Tomoyo: Here we are in the dead of night
Will you keep me warm and hold me tight
All we have is until the dawn
Let the night be long and ease the dawn
Eriol looked at her. He recognised this song. His mother had sang this to his father on one late night. The night before she died. His father had died soon afterwards out of grief leaving him alone in this cruel world. Now Tomoyo was singing this to him, reminding him of his forgotten past and impending future without Tomoyo.
In midst of his sorrow, he saw amethysts pleading with him to continue her song.
Eriol: I love you more than you'll ever know
It hurts to see you go
Tomoyo smiled, hardly feeling the painful stab wound any longer. Fortunately Kaho had a bad aim, missing her heart by a few inches.
Tomoyo: So Darling sing me a lullaby
Bittersweet goodbye
Tomoyo recalled the nightmare she had some time back. She was wrong. The person who screamed was none other than herself.
"Goodbye Eriol."
Eriol hugged her tightly.
Eriol: Don't think about the future now
*******************
Sakura held Syaoran up in her arms. "Syaoran? Syaoran?"
Syaoran smiled at her gently. "Sing for me one last song please? Will you do it, my angel?"
Sakura: These few hours
Let the nighttime envelop us
Take us under
Bewitching spell, bewitching spell
Syaoran: Here we are in the dead of night
Won't see you past the morning light
So Darling sing me a lullaby
Bittersweet goodbye
Syaoran started coughing violently, coughing his life away. It was nearly dawn, the dim orange outlines of sunrise could be seen.
Sakura: Remember me when you're away
Sakura cast one longing look at Syaoran and hugged him tightly. As for him, he was too weak to return it. Sakura's hands reached into his pocket unconsciously and her finger grasp something hard…
*******************
Time to say goodbye, when the sun is up in the sky.

I hate it! I hate my fic. I found out how bad a writer I am for this fic after reading it. Now I know my problem. I'm fickle-minded. I have to write finish an entire fic before posting it I guess… You think so too right? Anyway, with my last bit of effort. I beg you to R&R
~Completed on: 11th June 2002~
