Chapter six -The Fight Begins-
Elad flung his hand up in the direction of Li. An invisible force picked Li up and sent him flying into the tree. Li hit it hard and slumped to the ground, unmoving. "LI!" Sakura ran over to him. He lay at the bottom of the tree, struggling to regain consiousness. Sakura gently lifted his head "Li??" She stroked his face gently, he opened one eye painfully "Sa..ku..ra" his voice was weak, but it gave Sakura hope. Her eyes filled with tears "It'll be okay" She whispered and kissed his forehead. She gently laid his head back down. She stood up to face her opponant.
"How...touching" Elad sneered, "Now I have to kill you both." He raised his arm in the direction of Sakura. She braced herself, ready for anything. "You..cant" Sakura looked in the direction of the voice.It was Teren. He was struggling to stand, his arm hung limpy by his side. Elad glared at him "And why cant I?" Teren looked towards Sakura, his eyes full of pain, and sorrow "Because" he turned his head to glare back at his evil counter-part "I made a promise not to hurt her. And as you are of my blood, you made that promise too. And Neptunes arent able to break their promises" Teren cried out in pain as Elads boot connected violently with the side of his head. Teren slumped back to the ground, breathing heavily "You are right, Foolish boy, I cant kill her, but she can kill herself" Elad pulled a card from his pocket and smiled at Terens frantic expression.
"POWER OF DARKNESS GOD OF HATE, DESPAIR OF THOSE WHO KNOW ITS TOO LATE, I CALL UPON ALL EVIL OF THIS LAND DELIVER THIS CHILD TO MY COMMAND MIND CARD!!!!"
Elad flung the card into the air and slammed his hand onto the back of it. A dark ribbon of power flew towards Sakura. It circled around her, finally enclosing her in a dome of darkeness, A high pitched scream cut through the air.
Li heard the scream and snapped back into consiousness. He stared at the black dome that was situated where Sakura had been. A loud sucking noise filled the park. The dark dome was vanishing slowly, it was being sucked into Sakura. When it had all cleared, Sakura stood silently, her head bowed.
Li forced himself to his feet and ran over to Sakura. He lifted her head up so her eyes met his. He stepped back and gasped in shock. "S..Sakura?" he trembled slightly, Sakuras eyes flashed, they werent green any more, they were black, cold and empty. Sakura grinned evilly as she raised her hand. Lis head snapped sideways with the force of the blow, a searing pain ran across his cheek. He looked back at Sakura, her face bore no expression. Li backed away his eyes narrowed "You arent Sakura. What did you do with her?" this last comment was directed at Elad, who laughed cruelly "Oh isnt it?? If it isnt, kill her." Li swore and gritted his teeth "I cant," Elad rasied his eyebrows "And why not?" Li narrowed his eyes "Because i know Sakuras is in there somewhere."
Elad rasied his hand in Li's direction "Cant do it? Too bad, now I have to kill you." His hand sparked with eletric energy that raced towards Li, but before it could hit him he was pushed out of the way. "Teren??" Li looked up at the boy who had saved his life. "Why did you do that? You could've been killed." Teren shook his head "No, He cant kill me because it'll kill him as well.He has as much of me as I have." Teren growled "So you knew he would do this!" Teren sighed "Not really, I cant explain now, you have to go, you are the only one in danger here." Li stood up and faced him "I will not leave Sakura, ever" Teren looked into his eyes, a glimmer of hope remained "Well... then may your love see you through." Elad had been listening closely and laughed out loud "Or will you see your 'love' DIE!"
Sakura had stood silently, but at Elads harsh words she flung two cards into the air and held another in her hand. Her staff hit the two spinning cards and she held the other high above her head, "Combine card, use your power to combine the Dark card, and, the Hope, to increase their power! COMBINE"
"NO SAKURA!!" Teren's voice was frantic and worried, he fell to his knees, hopelessly. Elad flung his hand up "Return, Mind Card!" The black arua left Sakura but the damage was done. High above her head the Dark and the Hope were merging into one card. The Dark had turned the normally red heart of Hope to black.
The card floated down into Sakuras hand. She had time to look at the two words written on the front, The Despair.
Her eyes widened in fear.
She shot a look at Li, her eyes full of pain and terror but she managed to mouth three words
'I love you.'
Then the card took her.
A/N Hehe sorry to end the chapter like that, I happen to hate cliff hangers myself dont worry, I'll try get the next chapter up ASAP!
