Sakura-san: Here we are chapter 8! Two in one update! I am sorry for the lag in chapters....ran into writer's block. Anyways, here is chapter 8!!!!!
~Chapter 8: The Warning~
Loup had gone to sleep at about dawn. It took forever for him to get to sleep, after he had a few hours. It was strange. But he did get back to sleep. Once he got to sleep, it was hard to wake him up.
Syaoran gave Loup a look of exasperation from the top bunk. "Sheesh, you sure sleep a lot," he muttered. It was only eight in the morning, but Syaoran knew that Loup had gone to sleep before midnight, so the guy had had eight hours.
Syaoran layed back on the top bunk, and pulled out a book.
~~~~~~~~~
Loup found himself in a very familiar place. A wide desert. He had seen this place many times over the course of his lives. The Place Before. That is what it was called. This is where some spirits came after their bodies had died. They came here before going to the Heavens, or the Hells, or before being reincarnated as a different person. Loup was very familiar with this place.
"Why am I here now?" he asked himself outloud. He was perfectly aware that he wasn't dead. But only those that are dying could come here...and Darks and Lights.
Two people appeared before him. Feu and Daichi.
"What do you want?" Loup spat.
Feu smirked at him. "Still disrespectful to your Elders?"
"Elders, my ass!"
Daichi sighed. "Yes aparently he is still disrespectful...lessons can be taught to you here. And your young friend will feel every blow of it too."
Loup raised an eyebrow. "And what do you want with me, Daichi? Feu?"
Neither answered, but both smirked.
"Wipe that look off your faces!" Loup shouted. He sent a ball of black flame at them.
"For having been reborn over and over so many times, that your age is impossible to tell, you are still very stupid," Feu remarked. The flame diminished at a wave of his hand. "Do try to remember that we use the same power you do, only it is more powerful since we are immortal. So don't try that again."
Daichi nodded in agreement. "Yes, you of all people should know by now, considering how many times you have been through this realm. And the fact that you are the darkness for the Mortal Realm."
Loup began to shake with fury and gave them both dirty looks.
Fue tsked him. "Shame on you...punishment time. You really need to learn to control that temper of yours..." Fue smiled a nasty smile. At once something began smacking Loup.
It was unseen, and it hurt. Especially since, each 'blow' felt like an electric shock, added to the feeling of a knfe being stabbed into your skin.
Loup grit his teeth as the beating continued.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura and Syaoran had gone for a walk, since Loup was still asleep, and everyone else had someting to do. Later on, they were going to go sking. But for now, Syaoran and Sakura were enjoying a walk out in the snow.
"Umm, Syaoran, thank you for last night," Sakura said quietly.
"You're welcome, Sakura," Syaoran responded.
They walked on through the trees in silence for a little bit. Then they slowly began to disscuss random things. Like the upcoming holiday, which was also Yukito's birthday...the nature around them, the trick of walking on water...just normal conversation. That is until, Syaoran fell down, clutching his head, and curling up into a fetal position.
"Syaoran?!" Sakura asked with worry, and she put a hand on his back.
He looked up at her, his face filled with pain, and blood running down his forehead. "I-it's not me. Its Loup!"
Sakura nodded and tried to see if she could get him to stand, but apparentaly the pain was too great for him to move.
~~~~~~~~~
Loup wanted Syaoran right then. He wanted his other half here with him, to help him. But with the mental walls up....and the fact that Loup was in a dream like state...
Oh I don't care! He thought. //AIBOU!!!!!!// he ran inot those mental walls again, but this time, ripped through them with all his mind.
/Aibou....onegai!!!! SYAORAN!/
~~~~~~~~
Syaoran's eyes opened wide. He had felt the mental walls he had set up in his mind, crumble, and he had heard Loup scream for him.
"Syaoran? What is it?!" Sakura asked frantically, the Star Wand coming to her hands.
Syaoran's eyes blanked out, and his body slumped, lifeless.
"SYAORAN!!!!!!!" Sakura wailed. She hollered for help, but no one came. So she used magic to magnify the sound of her voice.
"ONEGAI!!! SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!"
~~~~~~~
Loup felt the blows stop as someone interfiered with Feu's powers.
Syaoran had appeared in this same realm. His aura was flaring, and visible, green.
Loup was very thankful for the fact that Syaoran had powers that differed from his own and the Darks.
Daichi and Feu both wore annoyed looks.
"And how did you get here?" Daichi asked.
Syaoran gestured to Loup.
Feu nodded thoughtfuly.
"Anyways, We have a warning for you both," Daichi stated.
Loup and Syaoran both raised eyebrows.
Feu continued for Daichi, "The balance is tipping. You are the cause. So you are under survailance. If you interfear with us death will follow your actions." With that Feu and Daichi dissapeared.
Loup and Syaoran watched the spot where they had been.
~~~~~~~
Loup and Syaoran opened their eyes at the same time.
Syaoran vaugly wondered how he had gotten back to the cabin, but then figured that Sakura had gotten him here.
"Syaoran, Loup? Are you two okay?" Sakura asked with worry. She, Touya, Yukito, and Fujitaka were all staring at the two boys.
Loup sat up and rubbed his head. When he took his hand away, there was blood on it. "Geeze...you'd think this wouldn't reflect on me in the w-" Loup was cut off, by Syaoran stomping on his foot.
Syaoran felt it too, but he had to stop Loup from going any further. He jerked his eyes towards Fujitaka, Touya, and Yukito.
Loup nodded thoughfuly.
All of these actions confused the hell out of the three men staring at them. Sakura understood.
//You know aibou, you could have told me to shut up through this link...//
Syaoran glared at Loup. /I enjoyed stomping your foot./
//You could've just stomped your own, and I would have felt it. But then that would look strange wouldn't it? But still it would have been funny...//
/Oh really? You think it would be funny to let other people know all about what we are, what Sakura is...and our link?! You are a bigger idiot than I thought./
The glares flying between Loup and Syaoran were getting worse as they continued to argue inside their heads.
Sakura sweatdropped. She had guessed what was going on.
"What are they doning?" Yukito asked with curiousity.
"It is kind of funny looking," Touya commented.
Fujitaka didn't say anything.
//I am older than you!//
/That has nothing to do with this!/
//You shouldn't be so rude to someone who is older than you...//
/You are ME!/
//Be that as it may...//
Syaoran.... Syaoran jerked his head as that burst into his mind. That female voice...his mother's voice. Calling, desperatly. For him.
Syaoran's eyes became blank, alarming everyone.
"Li-kun?" Yukito and Fujitaka asked urgently.
"Gaki?" Touya asked.
Syaoran got up and walked as if in a trance to the front door.
"Follow him!" Sakura shouted and she ran after Syaoran.
"Aibou..!" Loup gasped and ran out too. He had just felt Syaoran's aura burst into life, stronger than normal. Magic was going to be used.
Touya and Fujitaka exchanged looks before following also.
Yukito stayed rooted to the spot. He felt...strange all of a sudden. "What's going on?" He asked himself.
"Syaoran...come to me. Come to me..."
Syaoran followed the voice. He had come to a 'wall'. To his eyes there was a wall of stone infront of him. In realitly, it was the door to the cabin.
The whole group that had been back in the room when Syaoran and Loup woke up, with the exception of Yukito, came into the hallway, right as Syaoran's aura became visible to all.
"What is that?" Touya and Fujitaka gasped.
The entire front of the cabin exploded outwards in a rush of flame.
"Ever heard of using a door?" Loup grumbled.
Syaoran stepped outside, towards the lake.
"AIBOU!!!" Loup shouted. No effect. This was the first time he had called Syaoran that in front of anyone else besides Syaoran and Sakura.
"Why did he-"
Sakura cut Touya's question off. "Not now, oni-chan."
Syaoran had gone to the edge of the water.
Loup felt a familiar presence. His neck muscles tightened. "AIBOU! NO! DON'T GO OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!" He teleported himself to Syaoran. Or at least tried to. An energy feild blew him away.
Sakura concentrated as the Star Wand came to her hands. The star glew and Loup was set gently on the ground.
] Touya wasn't surprised. Fujitaka was though.
Yue stood where Yukito had. He sensed Hinode in the area. Her and Kero. "Good. That idiot needs all the help he can get..." (note: Yue is referring to Syaoran.) He walked outside, unnoticed.
Hinode came running out from behind a tree, Kero following closely. They had both reverted to their true forms. They weren't noticed either.
"Hinode! There's Yue!" Kero shouted.
Hinode nodded, and they took off from the ground. They met Yue in the air.
Loup gasped for breath. That hadn't been Syaoran's energy. He was sure of it.
"Stupid, boy. And right after you were warned..."
