"Who are you? What do you want?" Tomoyo asked fearful as she backed against the bathroom wall.

"Just your energy, don't worry it won't hurt" the voice answered, her ears were filled with the whispers of other faint voices but started to panic when the shower started to shoot out more water and a snake like glowing light came through the door wrapping itself round her.

1 "Eriol! Help" Tomoyo screamed banging on the shower door that was stuck (It's one of those shower door that open and lock to keep the steam in). The water was filling it up rapidly and she could feel herself weakening at every second that passed.

"That's what you get Tomoyo darling for interfering, your energy isn't much but will do" a male voice said, she could only see the outline of his body through the door. " Just give in, it's no use fighting".

"Eriol!!!!!" Tomoyo screamed as loud as she could, she had to hold her breath cause the water was almost to the ceiling, the last thing she saw was the guys face rushing towards hers making her scream. Eriol was down stairs when he heard Tomoyo's screaming and a faint aura, he rushed upstairs with his guardians following behind him.

"Tomoyo?!?!" Eriol yelled breaking through the door, he rushed to the bathroom knowing that's where she was "Oh god hold on" he added trying to get the shower door open, having no such luck he used magic making the door fly open and Tomoyo's body with it. Eriol caught her as he hit the floor; Nakuru gave him a towel to cover her body as tried to wake her. "Tomoyo wake up" he said shaking her, she was still breathing but it was faint he picked her and brought her to the bed.

"Go and make some tea," Eriol ordered, the two guardians got the picture and left him. He muttered a small spell and transferred some of his strength her. "Tomoyo honey please wake up" he pleaded shaking her lightly.

"No Please… Nooooo" Tomoyo screamed her eyes shot open, all she could see was the same figure over her so she started to struggled against him. "No Please let me go… Eriol!!" she screamed slapping the guy, she was able to land a punch on him, sending him flying back. Clow reed or not he did not see that coming.

"Tomoyo it's me Eriol" he said feeling his sour jaw. He got up and hugged the distressed girl as she weep.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you…he wanted to kill me and he was in the shower," she mumbled through tears hugging him tightly.

"It's ok but who do you mean?" Eriol asked returning the hug; he never wanted to be that scared again.

"I didn't see his face but he said that it's what I get for interfering, he also said that it will wake him" Tomoyo answered calming down, then she remembered the night at her sleepover. "He's after Sakura, at my sleepover she was glowing the same light and floating in the air, I called Syaoran and had him come over but didn't tell him why because she said not to, she also said that she felt weak but when she was with Syaoran she felt fine" she added looking up at him.

"We can't make Syaoran leave…

One hour earlier…



Last night Sakura and Syaoran had shared the most amazing night of their lives, their souls had become one. Unfortunately Syaoran had to leave early that mourning so they got up and dressed before heading to his apartment for his stuff then to the Airport where they would meet his mother and sisters. They were going back on their private jet because it would be a lot less hassle. They were now saying their good byes.

"Bye Fanfren, Xiefia, Fiemie, and Fuutie it was nice meeting you" Sakura said hugging them

"Bye Ying Fa" they all said before heading to the jet.

"We will be expecting you and your family soon, take care my dear Ying Fa" Yelen giving Sakura a hug.

"You too Mrs. Li" Sakura said returning the hug; she left leaving the two lovers together.

"See you Tuesday" Sakura said hugging him tightly, he hadn't left her since he got back to all those years ago.

"Tuesday, Keep safe" Syaoran said giving her a soft kiss which certainly deepened unaware of the two camera's on them one of them unknown.

"Kawaii" his sister's scream taking pictures, he ignored them still kissing his cherry blossom. "Ai shiteru"

"I love you too," Sakura said giving him another kiss.

"Master Li, we must leave" Wei yelled from the stairs.

"I'll be back in no time" Syaoran said sighing giving her one last kiss before he reluctantly walked away.

"Bye My Little Wolf" Sakura yelled waving, he turned smiling as he waved to her before disappearing through the doors. "I'll miss you," she whispered sitting on his car front, she sat there watching until she saw his plane take off. Takashi and Chiharu had all ready left with all their stuff but they would all see other again for the wedding. Naoko and Yang had left with his parents two hours ago, Rika was probably home and Tomoyo and Eriol were together. Her dream from last night came back to her, she saw the same women and men making love and meeting behind the kings back. He was also teaching her magic, Sakura could tell that he was very powerful. ' I wonder if Mononoke and Jin su really exist' she thought as the sun disappeared. "I'll just be heading home, to see if otou-san and Nii-Chan are feeling better besides looks like rain" Sakura said looking up at the sky that was now getting cloudy as she slid off the car top. It had started to rain terribly as she drove home, the ringing of her phone made her jump.

"Moshi Moshi" Sakura said putting it on speaker. She didn't dear drive with a phone in her hand in weather like this.

"Sakura? Where are you? Whys Syaoran" Came Eriol's voice over the phone.

"Ohayo Eriol, Syaoran left already and it's a good thing too, I wouldn't want them flying in weather like this" Sakura answered.

"Sakura I need you to come over to my house right away, don't go home just head here" Eriol said sternly.

"Hai Eriol, is something wrong?" Sakura asked getting worried, he was never serious unless something was up, she took the road that led to his house instead of hers.

"I will explain when you get here, drive safely"

"I'll be there in 5" Sakura said hanging up.



Else where…



"Will that be enough?" a man asked, as the women finished chanting.

"For him, her father and brother's essence was help but the little bit of hers that we got was just enough" the women answered as the corpse before them started to regenerate rapidly.

"What bout her friend?"

"She I sent hers to the mistress, she needs more power but we will get it soon enough" she answered. " All we need is for the girl to sleep one more time. Go make sure she sleeps" she ordered the guy who nodded and disappeared. The figure on the bed slowly got up and faced the women whose face was in a smile.

"My love…" he whispered looking at the figure in the dark.

"My Lord, she is not the mistress but only an empty shell, the mistress hasn't been revived yet," the women said bowing.

"I see, strength I need power I'm weak," he said smiling evilly as he got to his feet.

"You can have the last of the boy and the campers we took" the women said smiling "Be a good girl and go to him" she ordered the figure, who sadly nodded and left.







Sakura almost to Eriol's house she saw something in the road. She looked closely to see what it was but couldn't make it out, it wasn't until it started to move towards her that she started to panic, when she saw it was a man she pressed on the braked but the car slide.

"Aaaaahhh" she screamed when the SUV went right through the figure in the road and into the tree not far from Eriol's knocking Sakura unconscious.



Plane…

"Aaaaahhh" Syaoran yelled jumping up drawing his families' attention, they would arrive in Hong Kong in 25 minutes.

"Xiao Lang is something the matter?" Yelen asked looking at her sweating son.

"Sakura…" he choked out, he swore he heard her scream. "Something's wrong, we have to call and make sure everything's ok"

"We can't, we tried but nothing will go through to anywhere" Yelen answered pointing to the window. Syaoran looked out the window at the storm raging out side.

"Some thing is not right, I can feel it" Syaoran stated worrying about Sakura. He felt how scared she was, all of her emotions swept over his body like the raging storm outside. "Let them try again and again until we get through" he ordered glaring at the guys who nodded and quickly left.



Japan…

It had been almost half n' hour since he spoke to Sakura and she still hadn't arrived. He started to worry and stretched out his aura in search of hers, finding that she was just down the road from him. He left Tomoyo in the care of his guardians and went to find her.

Dream…



"You shouldn't have come" Jin Tao yelled, his black eyes and hair reflecting the light.

"He doesn't know I'm here, please I just wanted to see you" Mononoke answered smiling. "Please don't be mad my love," she added caressing his face.

"I'm not, I could never be" Jin Tao said before they kissed.

"I should have known, how could have I been so blind" the king said sadly walking in through the doors. "The women I love dearly and the man I trusted" he yelled heart broken.

"I never loved you, I hate you" Mononoke spat disgusted.

"You are going to pay for your treason," the King declared "Guards!"

"No!" Mononoke yelled raising him in the air with a spell "You're going to pay," she added as fire engulfed his body.

"Mononoke NO" Jin Tao shouted but it was too late. The guards and other priest burst through the door catching them off guard, thinking quickly they combined theirs powers and put a binding spell on them as the samurai's executed Mononoke in one swift movement.

"No! Mononoke, you all will pay for this" Jin Tao yelled. "And so will the world" he added before a samurai pierced him through the heart.

" Make a tomb underground, put hers on the end of the island and his on the other, erase their names from every record and bind their souls" a Priest ordered, the others nodded and left hurriedly. Sakura stood and watch as they buried the two lovers in separate tombs and cursed their souls to the underworld.

"We must make sure that no one finds them cause they will surely bring the end as we know it," the head priest stated to the others unaware of the watchful eyes on them.





When Eriol arrived at the scene he saw Syaoran's car in a tree, he started to panic thinking that she was hurt.

"Sakura?" he yelled running up to the wreckage.

"She's fine but we must wake her, they are taking her energy," a middle age man said holding Sakura in his arms.

"I know but how?" Eriol asked taking her from the man.

"We need to put a shield round her but I am not strong enough maybe if we combined our powers" the man stated. Eriol wondered how he knew he had powers but right now wasn't the time to ask. He nodded and they put a shield round Sakura. They got in his car and rode back to his house.

"What happened?" Sakura asked coming to, the first thing she saw was a worried Tomoyo then Nakuru.

"You totaled Syaoran's car but it's ok and we're definitely glad that you are" Tomoyo answered hugging her friend, she had calmed down from her experience earlier. Sakura perked up when she felt an unfamiliar aura close by.

"She is truly powerful," a voice said, looking up she saw a cute middle age man and he was the one the power was coming from.

"Sakura we're are glad that your finally awake, keeping the shield up was draining us" Eriol said hanging the phone up, he was trying to get through Syaoran but couldn't.

"Yeah I feel kind of weak," Sakura said eyeing the guy.

"Well I'm going to explain what is going on, my name is Raja," the man said smiling. He started to tell them everything about what had happened and what was left.

"That's why I was having those dreams and why my father and brother are feeling weak," Sakura stated.

"And why you were floating on the sleep over" Tomoyo added but then regretted it.

"Why didn't you tell Syaoran? Tomoyo said that when he was with you when you slept nothing happened. He is going to be so angry at you, I bet he is freaking out right now because he can't get through and I can't get out not even magic works" Eriol stated somewhat angry looking at the girls.

"I didn't want him to worry because then he wouldn't go" Sakura replied. "Besides we should be able to handle this with out any problems right?" she added when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Eriol said answering.

"Eriol is Sakura there? If so we need you all to come to the hospital right now, its Touya" came Fujitaka's weak voice.

"Hai she is, we'll be there soon" Eriol answered before hanging up.



"Who was it Eriol?" Tomoyo asked not liking the look in his eye.

"It was your dad Sakura, Touya's in the hospital," Eriol answered. Sakura's heart sank when she heard that.

"Oh god what's wrong?" Sakura asked weakly.

"I don't know come on lets go, you too Raja" Eriol said grabbing his keys. They all rushed out of the house and towards the hospital in the horrid rain.





On the way Sakura was going through all kinds of feelings and she wished that Syaoran were there to help her. When they arrived, they rushed to the intensive care unit, where they saw her father waiting.

"Otou-san what's wrong with Touya?" Sakura asked rushing up to him.

"They said that it seems that his life force was drawn from his body or that's what they told me it looked like. They are trying to get him stable" Fujitaka answered sadly drawing his daughter into a hug.

"Mr. Kinomoto?" the doctor asked walking out of the room. Everyone gathered around to see what was being said.

"Yes, is Touya ok?" Fujitaka asked but when they saw the look in the doctor's they knew it was serious.

"We don't know, he is very weak, we could barely get his heart going. All we can do is wait and see" the doctor answered. When Sakura heard that she and Tomoyo broke out in tears.

"Can we see him?" Fujitaka asked, the doctor would have said not but knowing that it would probably be the last time he said yes and they all went in.

"Raja is there something we can do?" Eriol asked on the corner.

"No I'm afraid that he is too far gone to be saved but her father can be" Raja answered bowing his head.





1.1 "I feel great, that girl is truly special and beautiful" Jin Tao. He opened a portal and saw flashes of Sakura's life but frowned when he saw her love for Syaoran. "Her Little wolf isn't here to protect her from me" he added smirking. "Now rise my temple" he ordered



"Guys I think you should look at this" Tomoyo said pointing to the sky through the window.

"What' s happening?" Fujitaka asked looking at the clouds that were swirling together as lightening flashed across the sky and thunder crashed.

"He is rising his Kingdom here in Japan, it seems that he got all the power he needed from you but will still draw" Raja stated when Yukito and Rika came through the doors with kero who was hiding in his bag with the book. He didn't look too well in fact he looked tired like when Sakura had to transform the cards into the Sakura cards.

"Sakura how is Touya?" Rika asked holding her hand.

"Not good but he's holding on" Sakura answered sadly glancing at him.

"I don't know what's going on but everyone out there is going crazy, it's like they were under a spell" Rika stated looking at the black pillar growing from the ground to the sky. "Whatever is going on I don't like it" she added scared. Yukito placed his hand on her shoulder reassuringly.

"Sakura?" came a low whisper, every turned to where the voice was coming from.

"Touya" Sakura exclaimed rushing to her brother's side like the others.

"Listen you have to get out of here, he wants you. Eriol get her and dad out of here" Touya stated in a hoarse voice.

"We're fine you just get better," Sakura said smiling as she brushed his hair out of his face.

"Listen me to dad get her out of here and go to the gaki, he's the only one that can save her even though I hate to admit it" Touya stated smiling slightly.

"NO Touya we're not leaving you" Sakura said holding back her tears.

"He's right he is after you," a female voice said walking over to them.

"Fasmine where have you been?" Fujitaka asked looking at her.

"With her master, she is not human but merely a shadow" Raja said looking at her.

"That's whom you look like, I can't believe that I didn't see that you and Mononoke look exactly alike" Sakura cut in. "Why are you doing this?"

"I'm not, I have no choice but to follow my orders you must leave before he finds out," Fasmine answered.

"Why should we believe you?" Tomoyo spat looking at the girl angrily.

"Because you all made me feel like a real person and I'm sorry I didn't speak sooner but I was foolish," Fasmine said starting to vanish.

"What's happening?" Sakura asked

"She is no longer needed, Mononoke has been revived when she takes her first breath the host will die" Raja spoke, everyone knew what he meant, Sakura hugged Touya closely to her sobbing.

"No not my Nii-san, your wrong" Sakura yelled, she called shield to try blocking off the source, of course Rika not knowing what was going on was freaked and amazed.

"Silly kaijuu there is nothing you can do, just please go" Touya whispered. "I Love you and dad"

"Sakura no kaijuu and I love you too" Sakura said smiling through her tears, he smiled one last time before his last breath left him. "Nii-san" Sakura cried in her dad's arms.

"I'm sorry" Fasmine said crying before she vanished.





2 "Why are the phone lines all over Japan out?" Syaoran growled slamming the phone down breaking it in two. He had arrived home an hour ago and has been trying to call Sakura but nothing has been going through and he was worried sick.

"Master Li?" a maid said standing in the door.

"What?!?!" Syaoran yelled glaring at the poor women who quivered back in fear.

"You have a phone call" she squeaked.

"I want no calls unless it has to do with Sakura or Japan" Syaoran stated calming down, he had just got back and all ready he was scaring the servants.

"Yes master Li," she said bowing before leaving, he sighed in aggravation as he headed to the balcony. The sunset was beautiful as it disappeared beneath the sea. The fresh ocean air surrounded him as he tried to calm his nerves. They lived on a small island that was big enough to accommodate his relatives at least the ones that wanted their privacy. The island was a paradise with its whit sandy beaches and green life, his home definitely beautiful but today it all seemed like nothing to him. "What's happening?" he whispered running his hand through his unruly locks.

"Mater Li the elders would like to have a word with you" Wei said walking up behind him.

"Thanks Wei, tell them that I will be down in a few" Syaoran replied.



"Do you feel that?" Eriol asked, the others nodded as Yukito transformed into Yue, kero flow out of the bag and transformed into Cerberus. Rika almost passed out when she saw that happening in front of her. They all watched as the window and wall was melted away revealing.

"Jin Tao" Raja spat. "You all get out of here now" he ordered as more of his man came in the room.

"What about you?" Eriol yelled holding Tomoyo's hand.

"Just go" Raja yelled back. They all turned and ran but Sakura couldn't move.

"No my precious cherry blossom you shall stay, I need your lovely powers" Jin Tao stated calling her to him, Sakura's body felt numb as she moved towards him.

"Syaoran…" was all she could say, tears streaming down her face, a blue power ball followed by a fire ball went flying past her heading straight for Jin Tao, he lost his concentration freeing Sakura, Yue took her in his arms and took off with kero behind him. The other's were already on there way, to the airport but came across difficulty when the people started to walked in the road blocking there path.

"What are they doing!" Tomoyo yelled trying not to hit the zombie like people.

"They are under his spell" Eriol answered taking off his key. "I call upon the power of the day and night, sun and darkness unleash your might, release!" he ordered making his sun staff appear. He looked behind him and saw that Yue and the others were right behind him and out of nowhere Ruby moon and Spinal sun joined them. He used his staff and opened a portal to the Li estate he didn't know where they would land but he didn't really care right now, the car took flight in the sky towards the portal.

"Key of the star with powers burning bright reveal the staff and shine your light, release" Sakura chanted making her wand appear. "Fly card grant me wings," she ordered through tears making wings appear on her back so she could fly on her own. "Shield" she yelled making the shield surrounds them like Eriol had done for the others as they entered the portal and disappeared. Jin Tao went after them but wasn't fast enough to catch them.

"No matter I know right where you're headed" he said before disappearing back to his temple.

"Conceal his body so that it is preserved for a proper burial, we will wait for their arrival before we battle" Raja said to his man.





Syaoran's body tensed, he some how felt when Sakura used her powers and he could feel that she was getting closer but at the same time weaker. He got up and rushed put side in the courtyard where everyone was leaving shocked elders. They got up and followed him wanting to see why he had left so rudely. Everyone stopped what he or she were doing which was preparing a meal in honor of his arrival and watched as he stood in the yard looking off into space.

"Get back" he yelled to the people, they immediately moved. All of a sudden a black hole opened in the sky shocking everyone except him. They were even more shocked when a car came through, his skipped at beat when he saw Sakura and the guardians come true.

"Mother its Ying Fa" the sisters yelled pointing at Sakura. Being drained of power and using two cards at the same time took it's toll on her, first the shield disappeared then her wings making her fall towards the earth and Yue and kero living off her energy expected to change back into their hidden forms but they didn't, they just felt a little light head. They wouldn't reach Sakura in time so Syaoran took over.

"Feng hua zhao lai, Zhao lai " Syaoran yelled in manderin making wind come forth and slow Sakura's fall, he ran to where she would land and caught her. "Sakura wake up" he said shaking her lightly.

"Syaoran…Touya's… died" Sakura sobbed in his shirt as her wand returned to it's key form, her words hit him like a sledge hammer couldn't, no he wouldn't believe it but when he saw the look on everyone's face he knew it was true.

"Syaoran she needs to rest, we will explain later" Fujitaka stated knowing that he would want to know. Yelen and the girls came running up to them all the smiles on their face gone knowing that this was not a happy visit.

"Hai" Syaoran said walking off with the sobbing Sakura, some of the people tried to see her face but wasn't able to because Sakura had her face in his shirt.

"Wei show our guests to the guestrooms, so they can rest before supper. Fujitaka would you like to talk now?" Yelen asked said. Wei and bowed as ruby moon transformed back into her human form.

"This way" Wei said walking off.

"I guess I owe you an explanation right?" Yukito said smiling at Rika as they walk.

"You certainly do" Rika answered. Eriol waved his staff at the car and made it disappear to the front of the house before it returned to its key form.



Syaoran brought Sakura to his room where he sat on the bed trying to hush her sobs.

"I miss him so much," Sakura whispered loud enough for him to hear.

"I know but he will always be with you" Syaoran stated looking down at her.

"I know but it wasn't fair," Sakura replied, being wrapped in his arms made her sleepy and she could no longer fight the urge to sleep, she slowly dozed off. Syaoran brushed stray hair off her face and ran his finger on the out line of her face. He got up to lay her down but as usual she had a grip on his shirt. "Please don't go," she begged.

"I'm not going anywhere," Syaoran answered as he laid her on the bed and got next to her.

"Thank you" Sakura said cuddling up to him.

"There's no need to thank me because there is no where I would rather be" Syaoran stated kissing her forehead. He lay in bed wide-awake feeling Sakura's soft hair as she slept peacefully. He started to finger the two pink balls that held the sword he had given her for her sweet sixteenth; she never took it or her star key off just he never did. It had been awhile since they had practiced but she was all ready great using it.



A knock on the door woke Syaoran up, he didn't even remember falling asleep, and he glanced at Sakura who was still asleep.

"Come in" he said looking at the door that opened to reveal Tomoyo with a dress.

"I see she is still sleeping, I brought her some stuff she might need and this dress to change into for dinner that's in an hour" Tomoyo said resting it on the chair. "Is she feeling better?"

"Yeah she is and thanks" Syaoran said to her before she left. The closing of the door made Sakura stir and wake up; she loved what her eyes laid on. "It wasn't a dream," Sakura said hugging him.

"Nope no dream," Syaoran said smiling. "Tomoyo brought you some stuff and a dress for dinner. I suggest that you do and shower"

"It wasn't the way I wanted to meet the rest of your family, I hope I didn't make a bad impression" Sakura said softly.

"Don't worry bout that and you didn't make a bad impression, now go" Syaoran said taking her towards the bathroom.

"All right, all right…" Sakura said giggling. She knew that Touya wouldn't want her to be gloomy and dwell on the past but she made her self a promise that Jin Tao would pay dearly. "You must be really hungry"

"Hungry for you" Syaoran replied teasingly, Sakura stock out her tongue at him before going in the bathroom. ' Don't worry my cherry blossom Jin Tao is going to pay dearly' Syaoran thought looking at the closed door, before he went to get clothes to change in.



Syaoran's bathroom was huge compared to the one he had in Tomoeda, it had a shower separate from he bath. She took a long hot bath to calm her nerves, when she got out she looked through the bag Tomoyo had brought and found a toothbrush. Brushing her teeth she wiped the glass so she could see her self, she bent down to wash he mouth out, when she got back up she came face to face.

"Hello my beautiful cherry blossom, I'm coming for you" Jin Tao said as he came through the mirror at her.

"Get away from me" Sakura said clutching her key.

"Scared?"



Syaoran was down stairs when he heard Sakura scream, he dropped what he was doing and ran towards the stairs with the others, some of the maids heard the scream and ran towards the room but before they got there a blinding flash light came from the room making everyone shield their eyes.

"What in gods name" Eriol yelled shielding his eyes, Yukito, kero and the others had all ready transform.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the light coming from the main house.

"Get away from her" Syaoran yelled running towards the room as his sword transformed, he kicked the door down saw Sakura on the floor clutching her arm and grinning man in front of her. "I said get away from her," he growled glaring at the man as he slowly walked to Sakura.

"What are you going to do Little Wolf?" Jin Tao said grinning as a sword formed his hand.

"Syaoran, he's strong" Sakura whispered, before Syaoran came he had taken some of her powers.

"Come now, I didn't get all of it" Jin Tao said raising his sword. "Don't you just want to kill me"?

"Actually I do" Syaoran said getting up, he got in a stance ready for anything. He was a little surprise when Jin Tao teleported right in front of him but he still blocked his attack and gave a counter attack making Jin Tao jump back towards the balcony ignoring the slice on his arm the same place where he had cut Sakura.

"Not bad for a boy, unfortunately we shall finish this some other time. Till then" Jin Tao said before disappearing.

"Next time you will not get away," Syaoran whispered making his sword disappear. "Are you ok?" Syaoran asked helping her up.

"Yeah just a little cut" Sakura answered smiling slightly. Syaoran placed his hand over the womb and healed it before he drew her into a hug.

"I'm not leaving you out of my site again" Syaoran whispered, Sakura nodded yes burying her head into his chest. Yelen closed his bedroom door and ordered everyone back to work. "We don't have to go down if you don't want to" he added.

"No I want to now come on you have to shower" Sakura said smiling up at him, he gave her a kiss before he left to shower. Sakura smiled at the door sadly as she rested heavily on the bed, something else was drawing her energy but she knew not what.



"So you're saying that even though Sakura is feeling weak, you two feel fine," Fujitaka asked again to the two guardians, who nodded yes.

"But I thought that you lived off Sakura's powers?" Tomoyo pointed out.

"We do, it not only is but that cards as well and this" Yukito said showing them his charm as kero did the same. Everyone except Rika gasped.

"What's does that mean?" Rika asked pointing to their charms that had pink and slight green swirling together.

"And it's getting bigger everyday" Kero whined floating.

"But only means that…" Eriol started looking at everyone.

"Mother I was in the court yard when I had promotion of new life…who do you think it is?" Fanfren asked walking in the room everyone turned around and looked at her. "What?" she asked lost.

"Don't tell me they…" Yelen asked seriously looking at Eriol who smiled nervously.

"Wait Ting su is pregnant, I just remembered" Fanfren added. Eriol was about to answer when…

"Mei Lin?" Tomoyo whispered looking at the girl in the door with a little boy beside her. "Mei Lin" Tomoyo squealed running to the girl.

"Hi Tomoyo, everyone" Mei Lin said hugging Tomoyo then Rika. "Where's Sakura and Syaoran" Mei Lin asked as the boy hid behind her.

"Upstairs, who's the kid?" Tomoyo asked looking at he boy with jet-black hair and eyes.

"Oh this is my son Jet, when my engagement to Syaoran got cancelled my parents found another suitor, now my husband for three years" Mei Lin answered smiling. "Auntie Yelen, Mister Kinomoto" Mei Lin added bowing properly.

"Hello Mei Lin" Fujitaka said smiling. "It seems that Jet is afraid of strangers," he added looking at the boy behind remembering Touya. A lone tear escaped his eyes when he looked at the little boy before him, he felt a hand on his shoulder, and he looked at Yukito and smiled wiping his tear away.

"Come Mei Lin lets go bring Jet where his cousins are" Fanfren said seeing that Mei Lin was lost, Mei Lin nodded and followed. It wasn't until a few minutes later that Sakura and Syaoran came down, Tomoyo had brought her a white floral kimono, and Syaoran had on blacks pants and dark green shirt.

"Is everything all right?" Fujitaka asked hugging his daughter.

"Hai otou-san, everything is ok" Sakura said hugging him tightly. "We'll get through this, right?" Sakura asked.

"We will" Fujitaka stated giving her a kiss on the forehead. "You look even more tired then me, are feeling ok?" he asked, Sakura had just gone through the same thing with Syaoran and she really didn't want to go through it again.

"I'm fine, really" Sakura answered smiling, she looked at Syaoran and saw that he didn't believe her one bit. They took her word for it well most of them anyways.

"Forgetting me I see," a voice to said to them from behind. They were all on the step that led to the yard were everyone was going to eat.

"Mei Lin" Sakura exclaimed running up to her.

"Hi Sakura, it's good to see you too" Mei Lin said returning the hug. "I'd like you to meet my husband Kuang, Sakura this is Sakura, her dad Mr. Kinomoto, her friend Rika and Yukito"

"Hi it's nice to meet you" Kuang said shaking her hand, then the others before they continued.

"How long have you been married?" Sakura asked.

"Three years and I have a son, you'll meet him later. When are you and Syaoran going to get married?"

"Soon, we don't know when exactly" Sakura answered when Syaoran came up to her.

"Come its time for you to meet the elder's, they have all ready meet your dad" Syaoran said taking her hand for support.

"Ok we'll talk later" Sakura said to Mei Lin before following Syaoran to a group of elderly man. She bowed in respect.

"So this is the card mistress, she seems like a regular girl" one said looking Sakura over making her feel nervous.

"I really don't see why he couldn't choose one of the girls here" one whispered to another making Syaoran growl under his breath but calmed when Sakura squeezed his hand.

"I'm sure he has his reason, she might seem weak but is very strong and shouldn't be under estimated" an elderly man said smiling, Sakura smiled brightly at him.

"Well all we need from her is a strong heir," one said before they all left leaving one.

"Don't mind them, they are foolish, it's because their daughter didn't get chosen" the same one who was nice to her said. "Don't worry bout them, their old fools" he whispered making Sakura giggled and nod.

"Sakura this is Kai, the most down to earth elder" Syaoran introduced.

"It's a pleasure," Sakura said bowing politely.

"The pleasure is all mine, come now" he said walking towards the feast. "You should not hold everything in" he whispered to Sakura, his words hit her like a ton of bricks. There were two tables that seemed to go on forever in the yard, Sakura had no idea that there were so much people living here but she hadn't seen the island yet. During dinner she felt self- conscious because everyone was looking at her waiting for some kind of mistake but got none. Until the last meal of the night, she started to feel sick at the site of food but then it got worst to more be dizziness and nausea.

"Sakura are you ok?" Syaoran whispered to her, looking at her when he felt her aura drop drastically.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Sakura answered but got even worst. "Iie I'm not feeling so good, Syaoran…Syaoran I feel, I feel…can I be excused" Sakura asked looking at him.

"Yeah let me come with you" Syaoran said getting up.

"No I'll be fine you don't have to come, I'll be ok," Sakura insisted by now everyone was looking at them wondering what was going on.

"I…" Sakura started before clasping in his arms, the bracelet glowing brightly.

"Sakura wake up" Syaoran rested sitting on the ground with her in his arms. Everybody was crowding around to see what was going on.

"Get back" Yelen yelled to the crowd, as she and Fujitaka bent down to the ground. "She's very weak, he seem to be draining her faster"

"It's the bracelet get it off" Eriol said reaching for it, he tried to get it off but was shocked by it sending him flying backwards.

"Oh god Eriol" Tomoyo screamed running towards his still body. Everyone backed away from them seeing what had happened.

"Here hold her," Syaoran said putting Sakura's head in his mothers lap.

"What are you going to do?" Yelen asked looking at him.

"Get it off" was all he said reaching for it, the same thing happened like it did for Eriol but he didn't let go, he wanted to scream feeling the electricity rage through is body but held on until he finally got it off and throw it aside breathing hard. "Take her to the house" he said fearing that he would drop her if he did, he struggled to get up but with the help of Yukito he did.

"I'm fine, no need to worry" Eriol said getting up with help.

"We need to find out about this guy before he comes back" Yukito stated.

"I want to get rid of this guy for good, I don't want him hurting Sakura anymore. Kai you and the elders find what you can on a guy named Jin Tao" Syaoran said to him.

"And Mononoke" Tomoyo added.

"Yes" Kai said before walking away.

"I thought you said that when I'm with her it doesn't work," Syaoran said looking at Eriol.

"He must have taken a lot of her energy before you got in the room," Eriol answered calmly. "Look on the bright said at least now he can't get any from her when she is asleep" he added.

"No he can't but that means he will come for her" Syaoran said walking away. " I want this place heavily guarded no one gets in" he ordered.





"Only a minor set back but he's smart, knowing I will come for her. No matter I will give them some free time while I attend to my new kingdom" Jin Tao stated looking over the balcony at what was once downtown Tokyo now a grave yard of the souls he put to sleep. The only moving thing on land was the one's that were still a live working as slaves and the samurai's he created to torture the poor souls.

"Master the mistress has awoken" a voice, said behind him.

"Hai, thank you Lily, is your mother with her" Jin Tao asked turning around.

"Yes Master" Lily answered

"Good tell her and Xin that I wish to see them in my throne room" Jin Tao stated leaving the girl bowing.

"Yes master?" they said bowing.

"Prepare your selves, I will be sending you and some of the man to China for the girl, I need her powers, kill the boy and anyone who can be a treat" Jon Tao ordered.

"Hai sir, we shall not fail," they said smiling evilly.

"You had better not, you leave tomorrow…"
