"Syaoran…" Sakura said scared holding his hand.
"Don't worry" Syaoran stated drawing her to him, Yukito and the other guardians transformed and stood ready for anything.
"Master Li there are demons outside" a man yelled running through the doors.
"Make sure no one gets in this house or near Sakura" Syaoran ordered transforming his sword, Eriol and Sakura did the same.
"Oh god…" Rika whispered when the all the lights went out. She calmed when she felt Yue take her hand. Sakura was about to called the glow card but Yelen beat her to it and created a glowing ball, she sent it to the towards a lamp lighting it then spreading to all the others in the house, the men outside lighted torches.
"Everyone move to the living room, it's too open here" She ordered before anyone could move a man came flying through the window and onto the table dead. Syaoran covered Sakura's eyes as they made their way to the living room.
"We have to do something," Sakura stated not wanting people getting hurt because of her.
"We will but your safety comes first" Syaoran said. "I want you to stay here and not leave," he added taking her to her father.
"But Syaoran, I want to he…"
"No they want you, I won't allow it" Syaoran snapped. "Please just stay here for now, just until we see what's happening," he added calmly.
"Please be careful" Tomoyo said giving him a kiss.
"I will" Eriol said smiling reassuringly.
"Kero and spinal, don't let anything get near them," Syaoran ordered as he and the others headed to the door.
"What about the children?" Fanfren asked,
"My baby" Fiemie said on the verge of tears.
"I can send you to them" Sakura said.
"Would you?" Fanfren asked.
"Yeah. Teleport the Li sisters to their houses, teleport" Sakura ordered making them disappeared.
Outside…
"What are those…?" Syaoran asked looking at the creatures hidden by cloaks making only their fiery eyes visible.
"Demons, they are very dangerous be careful" Eriol stated when they became the center of attention.
"She's in the house, get her" Xin ordered five of the creatures, who nodded and took flight towards the roof of the house. Syaoran was about to run inside but his path was blocked by two of them, Yue and Eriol were occupied.
"Great…" Syaoran whispered getting his sword ready, the demons attacked with incredibly agility he was barely able to block their moves. One of them went for his head but he duck, the sword went right through the tree with ease. "That was too close" Syaoran said backing away. It sliced the sword towards his head but he blocked it with and kicked the it in it's stomach and quickly went for the neck severing the head from the body making it fall to the ground with a thump. The other creature wasted no time in attacking, and this time it went faster. Syaoran clenched his teeth pain when he got sliced on his arm, the demon smiled menacingly seeing that it drew blood.
"Do you guys hear something?" Rika asked fearfully. They all listened and heard the sound of breaking wood.
"Shield" Sakura summoned, any slower and they would have covered with pieces of the roof.
"What in gods name is that?" Yelen spoke looking at the creatures hovering in the air above them. She hugged Tomoyo and Rika too her trying to calm them, they screamed in fear when they started to attack the shield trying to get in, each hit weakened Sakura but she kept it up. "I can't hold it up any longer, I'm gonna use another card when I say run, suppi and kero will make sure you all get somewhere safe"
"Sakura I will not leave you" kero said objecting.
"No I need you protect my family, and I'm ordering you" Sakura stated, this was the first time she had used such a tone with him. "Illusion, run" Sakura ordered making the creature see all them standing there.
"Sakura be careful" Fujitaka said hugging his daughter.
"I will dad" Sakura answered, he gave her a kiss then took Rika's hand and left with the others. When they were out of site she called the card back. "Fly card grant me wings, fly card," she yelled making wings appear on her back, she immediately took flight being following by them.
"NO Sakura…" Syaoran yelled seeing her come through the roof, he had just killed the other creature and was pretty beaten up. "Force know my plight release the light, lightening" he ordered making it shot out from his sword hitting one the demons making it fall to the ground cooked.
"Syaoran…" Sakura gasped seeing how beaten up he was. The sword of the demon barely missed as it continued to attack. "Fiery come forth" Sakura yelled, it came out and surrounded it in flames, she tried to block out the horrid howls it made as it fell out of sky in flames. She flew towards Syaoran and landed in his arms crying.
"It's ok, everything is going to be all right" Syaoran said trying to hush her sobs.
"There is the girl, get her and kill the boy" Xin yelled, Lila and Lily were busy fighting Eriol and Yue while Ruby Moon tried to get the wounded to safety. Seven of them turned their attention to them and started towards them some dripping with blood while others had the desire to taste blood.
"Get behind me" Syaoran said to Sakura.
"No let me help" Sakura stated. "I can help, by using only one card"
"Very well use it," Syaoran said standing in front her in a stance.
"Erase card, erase the demons" Sakura ordered, the card came out and surrounded them and started to work, she was getting weak but hid it.
"She has more power then we expected, no matter. Lily get to work" Xin ordered, lily left Yue and rode off towards Xin leaving Yue with five creatures to keep him occupied.
"Fine, Come to me Serpent of the Underworld, I order you" Lily Chanted, Her blonde hair and blue eyes turned crimson and her pupils snake like. "Tear them apart"
"Syaoran…" Sakura said when they earth beneath them started tremble, Syaoran tried to hold onto Sakura but it was becoming difficult.
"Sakura…" Syaoran yelled, when the earth between them split and a force drove them on opposite sides.
"Good job" Xin said flying towards Sakura but his path was blocked by kero and spinal sun that sent fireballs towards him but he put up a shield. "Silly animals" Xin said casting a spell on them putting them to sleep.
"Get away from her" Syaoran growled trying to break through the barrier holding him and Sakura apart.
"Not a chance" Xin said smiling, Sakura backed away from leaning on the barrier to keep she her body up, her sword in her in front her. "Are you going to hurt me?"
"If I have to, stay away from me," Sakura yelled hiding her fear.
"It was nice playing with you, now bye," Eriol said making a portal engulf Lila sending her to another dimension. With a wave of his staff two of the demons caught a blaze and fell to the ground, there was only five left, the other men were able to kill some of them.
"No you are not going anywhere" Lily said putting a barrier blocking them from helping Syaoran and Sakura.
"Get away from me" Sakura shouted blocking his sword. He kicked her in the stomach flying backwards into a tree; she fell to the ground in pain.
"Sakura get up, your gonna pay for this Xin" Syaoran growled as Xin walked over to her, Sakura struggled to get to her feet but it hurt so much.
"Poor cherry blossom" Xin said dragging her to her feet roughly. He got on his horse with Sakura who was fighting to stay conscious. "Watch this, Lily heat things up" Xin ordered. He moved her face to look right at Syaoran.
"Syaoran…" Sakura whispered raising her hand as if to touch him, tears streamed down her face knowing that this would probably be the last time she would see him.
"Certainly, Fire demon come forth and cook this weakling," Lily ordered laughing menacingly, a dog like creature broke through the ground sending rocks flying everywhere.
"I have to do something" Eriol whispered then saw his opening; he raised his staff and sent a large power of light towards her.
"Attack…" Lily yelled but her words cut short when she was pierced through the heart, she and her horse started to disintegrate in the air but that didn't stop the creature.
"I'm sorry Sakura" Syaoran whispered looking at her one last time.
"Syaoran…Nooooo" Sakura screamed when he was engulfed in the flames.
"Be quite you'll be joining him soon" Xin said before he knocked her out. A portal formed in front of him, he and the remaining demons made for it.
"Mistress" Yue yelled flying towards it but closed before he reached it.
"We have failed" Eriol said sadly when kero and spinal came about, the blood red sun disappeared and the sky became clear revealing the stars. The lights returned to the entire island showing all the chaos lift by their unwanted visitors. The grass once green was now red, windows broken, houses a blaze and wounded all around. Everyone came out of their houses to see what had happened, women tended to those who needed help and the island was filled with crying of those lost. Yelen and the others came running to the front but only saw Eriol and the others.
"Where are the kids?" she asked running up to them. NO one answered they just stood there looking at the spot where the portal once was. "Where is my son and Ying Fa?" she yelled fearing the worst. Fujitaka held onto the scared girls all ready knowing the answer.
"Eriol where is Sakura and Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked leaving Fujitaka's arm making her way to him.
"We tried and failed" Eriol finally answered turning his gaze to the spot that was still on fire. "Xin took Sakura and Syaoran…didn't make it" he barely got out. Everyone in the yard was silent, it seemed as if what he had said hadn't hit home.
"Sakura…Syaoran…" Tomoyo whispered as she broke out in tears, she ran to Eriol and hid her head in his chest. Rika didn't know what to do, as she cried in Fujitaka's arms. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Yue, she moved into his arms and cried like she was a little girl. Fujitaka went to Yelen and drew the woman in a hug letting his own tears fall, he had lost both of his children and his wife, and he had no one left.
"Little brother and Ying Fa" the Li sisters cried in hugging their husbands. Everyone in the yard bowed his or her head showing respect.
"Sakura, the gaki" Cerberus whispered using his paw to wipe his tears away. Everyone who had powers head shot up when they felt a surged out power.
"Syaoran?" Eriol whispered looking at the hole, watery burst through it drawing everyone's attention. A figure walked through the steam.
"My son…"Yelen whispered feeling his aura.
"Sakura…We have to get Sakura back" he yelled with his sword in his hand, his eyes were ice cold. His clothes were all torn and blood could be seen. "What are you all waiting for?"
"Syaoran calm down, people here need help and you need to cleaned up before we go, you would be useless to her if you were weak" Eriol stated.
"I'm giving all of you two hours, if you aren't ready Yue, Kero and I will leave without you" Syaoran said calming down slightly. He felt like empty inside, his Sakura was taken and if any harm came to her, they would pay dearly. His sword transformed back into the hidden form as he walked over to the tree where she had fell, he bent down and picked up her star key and her sword. He could feel her essence on it as he transformed it back into its hidden form; he let his tears fall not even bothering to wipe them anyway.
"My son its not your fault" Yelen said beside him, she had never seen her son cry in open before in fact she hadn't seen her son cry from since he was toddler and here he was crying.
"I failed her, I promised her that I would protect her and everything would be all right," Syaoran said punching the ground in anger.
"Everything will be all right," Yelen said hugging her son.
"I'm going to make sure of that," Syaoran said wiping his tears away. "If anything happens to her, they are going to wish they were never born and I'm going to start by killing Xin for putting his hand her" Syaoran said getting up then helping her up. Yukito was attending to those who needed help while the others were trying to fix things that were broken.
Japan…
"It's a shame that Lily and Lila didn't make it back but we have what we want. Let her sleep, when she awakes we will begin" Jin Tao said looking at Sakura who was chained to the stone bed in the middle of the room.
"She is quite beautiful but her dress is all bloody" Mononoke said moving her hand over Sakura torn dress making it brand new and cleaning her body in the process. "What happened to her necklace?" she asked looking at Sakura's bear neck.
"It must have fallen off when we were fighting, she is a pretty good fighter the boy taught her well. It was a good thing she was weak," Xin stated remembering how she almost took his head off. "The boy is even better but he is gone"
"I see and he has good taste, this ring is very beautiful" Mononoke said looking at Sakura's engagement ring. She was about to turn away something caught her attention. "You won't believe this," she said smiling evilly.
"What is it?" Jin Tao asked looking at her.
"She is lucky no harm came to her precious cargo when you kicked her, for the cherry blossom is…
China….
Syaoran showered and changed into his ceremonial robes, it was getting really late in the night. He looked up at the moon and prayed for victory and the safety of his beloved. He sat on his bed with her nightgown in his hands, her scent still fresh, he could feel that she was alive and prayed that they would get there in time. He placed it on the bed before heading to the door with her key and sword round his neck with his sword. They would all meet in the yard to leave, when he arrived Eriol was saying bye to Tomoyo and Rika was giving Yukito a hug before he transformed into Yue.
"Before careful" Yelen said giving him a hug, he didn't even complain when his sisters gave him one.
"Bring her back to me" Fujitaka said to Syaoran as he gave him a hug.
"I will" Syaoran replied returning the hug.
"Good luck Master Li" Kai said trying to hide his sadness.
"Thank you and I will find a way," Syaoran said reading his eyes. He walked out in the yard were the others were waiting. Everyone in the yard watched as Eriol opened a portal in the sky, Eriol smiled at Tomoyo before he led the way. Syaoran asked the fly card to grant him wings and it obeyed giving him white wings.
"Be safe" Yelen whispered watching her son and Yue take flight towards the portal they were the last to enter before it disappeared.
"All we can do is hope and pray for the best," Fujitaka said smiling faintly. "We all know that Syaoran and the others will try their best"
"Yes" Yelen said looking at Tomoyo and Rika who were still looking at sky 'I pray that they will succeed or they will be a lot of pain'
"Rika lets go help clean up, we need to keep ourselves occupied" Tomoyo said taking her hand.
"Yeah I feel like I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown. I know now that I love both of them," Rika said sadly 'Kami-sama please keep them safe'
Japan…
"They are on their way," Raja stated looking at the sky. "Ready" he added closing his eyes whispering an incantation making him and all his warriors disappear. The portal opened right in front of Jin Tao's floating kingdom; one by one they came through and landed on the frontcourt.
"This is it" Eriol stated when Raja and his men appeared behind them.
"Who are you?" Syaoran asked getting defensive, he know that raja possessed powers not much but enough.
"I am Raja, I have Touya's body preserved for proper burial" Raja said looking at Eriol.
"It's ok Syaoran he helped me with Sakura when she crashed" Eriol said not wanting Syaoran to blow the guy away. 'He has incredibly powers' Raja thought looking at Syaoran.
"They don't know that we are here yet, we must find Sakura and then deal with them" Syaoran stated, they were all hiding there auras at best as they could. "She is at the top," he added feeling her faint aura.
"All right we'll fly up, by the way Raja do you know how to kill him" Eriol said looking at him.
"We have a spell but we need someone to hold him in place when we say it, someone…really strong" he added looking at Syaoran. "The Jewel that will trap him is around his neck, I need that. His kingdom is like a whole new dimension, what happens there will not affect earth"
"We'll get you that but I need to get Sakura first" Syaoran said knowing that Raja was looking at him.
"And we need to hurry, it seems that we don't have the element of surprise anymore" Eriol stated looking at the creatures heading there way.
"Man drew their attention, while we fly to the top" Raja said before he chanted a spell giving him wings.
"Yes Sir" the man said taking out their swords as they took off towards the top.
"Nakuru, kero, spinal take care of those" Eriol ordered seeing some flying towards them, they nodded and separated from them.
"I thought you said you killed him?" Mononoke spat looking at Xin.
"There is no way he could have survived the fire, he's not that power," Xin said defensively looking at the figure heading their way.
"Well it seems that you were wrong, make sure they don't get here I need time to take her powers" Jin Tao ordered making warriors with wings appear.
"Hai master" Xin said summoning his horse before leaving.
"The Little wolf has gotten stronger" Mononoke commented smirking as they walked over to Sakura.
"No matter, he won't be able to save his precious cherry blossom" Jin Tao remarked caressing Sakura's face. "I call upon the ruler of the underworld, my lord make what is hers mine, give me her essence" he chanted raising his hands towards the sky, the four poles around them started to glow and lightening flashed. Mononoke stood back watching when Sakura's body started to glow.
"He doing the spell, we have to stop him," Raja yelled running his sword through one of the creatures.
"You and Syaoran go we'll be there soon" Eriol yelled back.
"Hey kid let's go," Raja yelled to Syaoran flying off.
"I'm coming" Syaoran yelled back. "Time card" he yelled making the three demons come to a halt; he moved swiftly through them heading towards Raja, thanking the cards. When timed resumed all three creatures fell to the ground in pieces.
Yue, whose Silver eyes shined with coldness, blocked Xin's when he path he started towards Syaoran.
"Shit" Xin yelled in frustration.
"Get ready my love, we will soon be the rulers of this pitiful world" Jin Tao stated. "She's in a deep sleep and won't wake up ever," he added raising a sword over her.
"Sakura…Hey get away from her" Syaoran yelled coming towards them. Sakura's eyes shot open as a familiar sensation coursed through her like a raging river.
"Syaoran…" Sakura whispered rushing her aura out to him.
"Stay back" Mononoke yelled preparing to attack them.
"Your time will come soon enough" Raja stated raising his hand toward her.
"Aaaaahhh" Mononoke screamed flying backwards into a wall when a burst of energy came from Raja's hand and hit her right in the chest. "Jin Tao help me," she screamed on the floor but he didn't even budge.
"He's too late…" Jin Tao yelled bringing the sword down.
"No…" Sakura screamed closing her eyes waiting for impact.
"Sakura…
AUTHERS NOTE: I HOPE THAT YA'LL LIKED THIS CHAPTER. AND REMEMBER TO REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!
"Don't worry" Syaoran stated drawing her to him, Yukito and the other guardians transformed and stood ready for anything.
"Master Li there are demons outside" a man yelled running through the doors.
"Make sure no one gets in this house or near Sakura" Syaoran ordered transforming his sword, Eriol and Sakura did the same.
"Oh god…" Rika whispered when the all the lights went out. She calmed when she felt Yue take her hand. Sakura was about to called the glow card but Yelen beat her to it and created a glowing ball, she sent it to the towards a lamp lighting it then spreading to all the others in the house, the men outside lighted torches.
"Everyone move to the living room, it's too open here" She ordered before anyone could move a man came flying through the window and onto the table dead. Syaoran covered Sakura's eyes as they made their way to the living room.
"We have to do something," Sakura stated not wanting people getting hurt because of her.
"We will but your safety comes first" Syaoran said. "I want you to stay here and not leave," he added taking her to her father.
"But Syaoran, I want to he…"
"No they want you, I won't allow it" Syaoran snapped. "Please just stay here for now, just until we see what's happening," he added calmly.
"Please be careful" Tomoyo said giving him a kiss.
"I will" Eriol said smiling reassuringly.
"Kero and spinal, don't let anything get near them," Syaoran ordered as he and the others headed to the door.
"What about the children?" Fanfren asked,
"My baby" Fiemie said on the verge of tears.
"I can send you to them" Sakura said.
"Would you?" Fanfren asked.
"Yeah. Teleport the Li sisters to their houses, teleport" Sakura ordered making them disappeared.
Outside…
"What are those…?" Syaoran asked looking at the creatures hidden by cloaks making only their fiery eyes visible.
"Demons, they are very dangerous be careful" Eriol stated when they became the center of attention.
"She's in the house, get her" Xin ordered five of the creatures, who nodded and took flight towards the roof of the house. Syaoran was about to run inside but his path was blocked by two of them, Yue and Eriol were occupied.
"Great…" Syaoran whispered getting his sword ready, the demons attacked with incredibly agility he was barely able to block their moves. One of them went for his head but he duck, the sword went right through the tree with ease. "That was too close" Syaoran said backing away. It sliced the sword towards his head but he blocked it with and kicked the it in it's stomach and quickly went for the neck severing the head from the body making it fall to the ground with a thump. The other creature wasted no time in attacking, and this time it went faster. Syaoran clenched his teeth pain when he got sliced on his arm, the demon smiled menacingly seeing that it drew blood.
"Do you guys hear something?" Rika asked fearfully. They all listened and heard the sound of breaking wood.
"Shield" Sakura summoned, any slower and they would have covered with pieces of the roof.
"What in gods name is that?" Yelen spoke looking at the creatures hovering in the air above them. She hugged Tomoyo and Rika too her trying to calm them, they screamed in fear when they started to attack the shield trying to get in, each hit weakened Sakura but she kept it up. "I can't hold it up any longer, I'm gonna use another card when I say run, suppi and kero will make sure you all get somewhere safe"
"Sakura I will not leave you" kero said objecting.
"No I need you protect my family, and I'm ordering you" Sakura stated, this was the first time she had used such a tone with him. "Illusion, run" Sakura ordered making the creature see all them standing there.
"Sakura be careful" Fujitaka said hugging his daughter.
"I will dad" Sakura answered, he gave her a kiss then took Rika's hand and left with the others. When they were out of site she called the card back. "Fly card grant me wings, fly card," she yelled making wings appear on her back, she immediately took flight being following by them.
"NO Sakura…" Syaoran yelled seeing her come through the roof, he had just killed the other creature and was pretty beaten up. "Force know my plight release the light, lightening" he ordered making it shot out from his sword hitting one the demons making it fall to the ground cooked.
"Syaoran…" Sakura gasped seeing how beaten up he was. The sword of the demon barely missed as it continued to attack. "Fiery come forth" Sakura yelled, it came out and surrounded it in flames, she tried to block out the horrid howls it made as it fell out of sky in flames. She flew towards Syaoran and landed in his arms crying.
"It's ok, everything is going to be all right" Syaoran said trying to hush her sobs.
"There is the girl, get her and kill the boy" Xin yelled, Lila and Lily were busy fighting Eriol and Yue while Ruby Moon tried to get the wounded to safety. Seven of them turned their attention to them and started towards them some dripping with blood while others had the desire to taste blood.
"Get behind me" Syaoran said to Sakura.
"No let me help" Sakura stated. "I can help, by using only one card"
"Very well use it," Syaoran said standing in front her in a stance.
"Erase card, erase the demons" Sakura ordered, the card came out and surrounded them and started to work, she was getting weak but hid it.
"She has more power then we expected, no matter. Lily get to work" Xin ordered, lily left Yue and rode off towards Xin leaving Yue with five creatures to keep him occupied.
"Fine, Come to me Serpent of the Underworld, I order you" Lily Chanted, Her blonde hair and blue eyes turned crimson and her pupils snake like. "Tear them apart"
"Syaoran…" Sakura said when they earth beneath them started tremble, Syaoran tried to hold onto Sakura but it was becoming difficult.
"Sakura…" Syaoran yelled, when the earth between them split and a force drove them on opposite sides.
"Good job" Xin said flying towards Sakura but his path was blocked by kero and spinal sun that sent fireballs towards him but he put up a shield. "Silly animals" Xin said casting a spell on them putting them to sleep.
"Get away from her" Syaoran growled trying to break through the barrier holding him and Sakura apart.
"Not a chance" Xin said smiling, Sakura backed away from leaning on the barrier to keep she her body up, her sword in her in front her. "Are you going to hurt me?"
"If I have to, stay away from me," Sakura yelled hiding her fear.
"It was nice playing with you, now bye," Eriol said making a portal engulf Lila sending her to another dimension. With a wave of his staff two of the demons caught a blaze and fell to the ground, there was only five left, the other men were able to kill some of them.
"No you are not going anywhere" Lily said putting a barrier blocking them from helping Syaoran and Sakura.
"Get away from me" Sakura shouted blocking his sword. He kicked her in the stomach flying backwards into a tree; she fell to the ground in pain.
"Sakura get up, your gonna pay for this Xin" Syaoran growled as Xin walked over to her, Sakura struggled to get to her feet but it hurt so much.
"Poor cherry blossom" Xin said dragging her to her feet roughly. He got on his horse with Sakura who was fighting to stay conscious. "Watch this, Lily heat things up" Xin ordered. He moved her face to look right at Syaoran.
"Syaoran…" Sakura whispered raising her hand as if to touch him, tears streamed down her face knowing that this would probably be the last time she would see him.
"Certainly, Fire demon come forth and cook this weakling," Lily ordered laughing menacingly, a dog like creature broke through the ground sending rocks flying everywhere.
"I have to do something" Eriol whispered then saw his opening; he raised his staff and sent a large power of light towards her.
"Attack…" Lily yelled but her words cut short when she was pierced through the heart, she and her horse started to disintegrate in the air but that didn't stop the creature.
"I'm sorry Sakura" Syaoran whispered looking at her one last time.
"Syaoran…Nooooo" Sakura screamed when he was engulfed in the flames.
"Be quite you'll be joining him soon" Xin said before he knocked her out. A portal formed in front of him, he and the remaining demons made for it.
"Mistress" Yue yelled flying towards it but closed before he reached it.
"We have failed" Eriol said sadly when kero and spinal came about, the blood red sun disappeared and the sky became clear revealing the stars. The lights returned to the entire island showing all the chaos lift by their unwanted visitors. The grass once green was now red, windows broken, houses a blaze and wounded all around. Everyone came out of their houses to see what had happened, women tended to those who needed help and the island was filled with crying of those lost. Yelen and the others came running to the front but only saw Eriol and the others.
"Where are the kids?" she asked running up to them. NO one answered they just stood there looking at the spot where the portal once was. "Where is my son and Ying Fa?" she yelled fearing the worst. Fujitaka held onto the scared girls all ready knowing the answer.
"Eriol where is Sakura and Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked leaving Fujitaka's arm making her way to him.
"We tried and failed" Eriol finally answered turning his gaze to the spot that was still on fire. "Xin took Sakura and Syaoran…didn't make it" he barely got out. Everyone in the yard was silent, it seemed as if what he had said hadn't hit home.
"Sakura…Syaoran…" Tomoyo whispered as she broke out in tears, she ran to Eriol and hid her head in his chest. Rika didn't know what to do, as she cried in Fujitaka's arms. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Yue, she moved into his arms and cried like she was a little girl. Fujitaka went to Yelen and drew the woman in a hug letting his own tears fall, he had lost both of his children and his wife, and he had no one left.
"Little brother and Ying Fa" the Li sisters cried in hugging their husbands. Everyone in the yard bowed his or her head showing respect.
"Sakura, the gaki" Cerberus whispered using his paw to wipe his tears away. Everyone who had powers head shot up when they felt a surged out power.
"Syaoran?" Eriol whispered looking at the hole, watery burst through it drawing everyone's attention. A figure walked through the steam.
"My son…"Yelen whispered feeling his aura.
"Sakura…We have to get Sakura back" he yelled with his sword in his hand, his eyes were ice cold. His clothes were all torn and blood could be seen. "What are you all waiting for?"
"Syaoran calm down, people here need help and you need to cleaned up before we go, you would be useless to her if you were weak" Eriol stated.

"Before careful" Yelen said giving him a hug, he didn't even complain when his sisters gave him one.
"Bring her back to me" Fujitaka said to Syaoran as he gave him a hug.
"I will" Syaoran replied returning the hug.
"Good luck Master Li" Kai said trying to hide his sadness.
"Thank you and I will find a way," Syaoran said reading his eyes. He walked out in the yard were the others were waiting. Everyone in the yard watched as Eriol opened a portal in the sky, Eriol smiled at Tomoyo before he led the way. Syaoran asked the fly card to grant him wings and it obeyed giving him white wings.
"Be safe" Yelen whispered watching her son and Yue take flight towards the portal they were the last to enter before it disappeared.
"All we can do is hope and pray for the best," Fujitaka said smiling faintly. "We all know that Syaoran and the others will try their best"
"Yes" Yelen said looking at Tomoyo and Rika who were still looking at sky 'I pray that they will succeed or they will be a lot of pain'
"Rika lets go help clean up, we need to keep ourselves occupied" Tomoyo said taking her hand.
"Yeah I feel like I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown. I know now that I love both of them," Rika said sadly 'Kami-sama please keep them safe'
Japan…
"They are on their way," Raja stated looking at the sky. "Ready" he added closing his eyes whispering an incantation making him and all his warriors disappear. The portal opened right in front of Jin Tao's floating kingdom; one by one they came through and landed on the frontcourt.
"This is it" Eriol stated when Raja and his men appeared behind them.
"Who are you?" Syaoran asked getting defensive, he know that raja possessed powers not much but enough.
"I am Raja, I have Touya's body preserved for proper burial" Raja said looking at Eriol.
"It's ok Syaoran he helped me with Sakura when she crashed" Eriol said not wanting Syaoran to blow the guy away. 'He has incredibly powers' Raja thought looking at Syaoran.
"They don't know that we are here yet, we must find Sakura and then deal with them" Syaoran stated, they were all hiding there auras at best as they could. "She is at the top," he added feeling her faint aura.
"All right we'll fly up, by the way Raja do you know how to kill him" Eriol said looking at him.
"We have a spell but we need someone to hold him in place when we say it, someone…really strong" he added looking at Syaoran. "The Jewel that will trap him is around his neck, I need that. His kingdom is like a whole new dimension, what happens there will not affect earth"
"We'll get you that but I need to get Sakura first" Syaoran said knowing that Raja was looking at him.
"And we need to hurry, it seems that we don't have the element of surprise anymore" Eriol stated looking at the creatures heading there way.
"Man drew their attention, while we fly to the top" Raja said before he chanted a spell giving him wings.
"Yes Sir" the man said taking out their swords as they took off towards the top.
"Nakuru, kero, spinal take care of those" Eriol ordered seeing some flying towards them, they nodded and separated from them.
"I thought you said you killed him?" Mononoke spat looking at Xin.
"There is no way he could have survived the fire, he's not that power," Xin said defensively looking at the figure heading their way.
"Well it seems that you were wrong, make sure they don't get here I need time to take her powers" Jin Tao ordered making warriors with wings appear.
"Hai master" Xin said summoning his horse before leaving.
"The Little wolf has gotten stronger" Mononoke commented smirking as they walked over to Sakura.
"No matter, he won't be able to save his precious cherry blossom" Jin Tao remarked caressing Sakura's face. "I call upon the ruler of the underworld, my lord make what is hers mine, give me her essence" he chanted raising his hands towards the sky, the four poles around them started to glow and lightening flashed. Mononoke stood back watching when Sakura's body started to glow.
"He doing the spell, we have to stop him," Raja yelled running his sword through one of the creatures.
"You and Syaoran go we'll be there soon" Eriol yelled back.
"Hey kid let's go," Raja yelled to Syaoran flying off.
"I'm coming" Syaoran yelled back. "Time card" he yelled making the three demons come to a halt; he moved swiftly through them heading towards Raja, thanking the cards. When timed resumed all three creatures fell to the ground in pieces.
Yue, whose Silver eyes shined with coldness, blocked Xin's when he path he started towards Syaoran.
"Shit" Xin yelled in frustration.
"Get ready my love, we will soon be the rulers of this pitiful world" Jin Tao stated. "She's in a deep sleep and won't wake up ever," he added raising a sword over her.
"Sakura…Hey get away from her" Syaoran yelled coming towards them. Sakura's eyes shot open as a familiar sensation coursed through her like a raging river.
"Syaoran…" Sakura whispered rushing her aura out to him.
"Stay back" Mononoke yelled preparing to attack them.
"Your time will come soon enough" Raja stated raising his hand toward her.
"Aaaaahhh" Mononoke screamed flying backwards into a wall when a burst of energy came from Raja's hand and hit her right in the chest. "Jin Tao help me," she screamed on the floor but he didn't even budge.
"He's too late…" Jin Tao yelled bringing the sword down.
"No…" Sakura screamed closing her eyes waiting for impact.
"Sakura…
