Years of The Future

This one ain't too dark no more...*music fills the place*

Ages:

Sakura-16
Syaoran-16
Eriol-17 (through my calculations, he's supposedly 1 year older than Sakura in physical appearance)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The sun awoke again, each time it did so, dying even faster.
The birds left after the "Armageddon" were dwindling in number. The cockroaches were still around though, and would probably be around for ever.

In one of the remaining houses, a man with black hair looked up at the sky.

"Is anything wrong, Eriol-kun?" the red haired lady asked . Her butterfly wings drooped with worry.

"The time for us to leave isn't far now. I hope Sakura-san will revive Li-kun sooner. Of course I'm also playing my part, though it may not help as much." Eriol sighed, then picked up a photo on the nearby desk.

"I wish we weren't sent here in the first place, Kaho," he said sadly, finger tracing the picture...

"Time!" Sakura yelled, as she tried to freeze everything so she could get everyone out of the warp.
Time never stood still.

In fact, it allowed the warp to twirl even faster, sending the gang into years of the future...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The green eyed maiden sat by the tube. She didn't need to eat, neither did she need to drink.

Afterall, she was an android.
Or perhaps, an android with magic? For her cards were all stored in her now.

Helping her live.
Survive.

*Syaoran... Please heal! You've got to. Please heal...* the girl was surrounded by her pink aura the more she thought, but her cards could do nothing but help, except the Hope, who could only encourage her mistress.

Every thought about her love she made, every glow, was sucked in by the tube.

"Sakura-chan," the winged lion, wrapped his body around the girl android, trying his best to cheer his mistress up. Yue was at the desk, going through the notes on how Sakura was "resurrected". He couldn't bear to see his mistress so unhappy.

Suddenly, his head snapped up.

A raven arrived through the only window in the room.

"Sakura-san," Eriol whispered, once he had transformed back.
"Time is short, you have to hurry! Through my magical connections with the sun, I can tell it will be going out in a few weeks time. I might be able to help though..."

He was cut short by Sakura.

"Do anything Eriol-kun! I just want him to be okay."

The magician sighed. Summoning up his magic, he focused on installing a gadget on the table into the youth's body without surgery.

When it was complete, Eriol swayed a little before he slumped into the arms of Yue.

"Thank you, Yue-san. I don't seem to be having to much energy these days..." he muttered.

"Arigato, Eriol-kun," Sakura said gratefully.
Then turning back to the tube, she worried some more.

*Syaoran... I love you. I really do. So please heal, please...*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The brown haired youth inside the glass tube stirred.
The machinery inside him slowly clicked to life.

As one last faint trace of energy was sucked in, he started to open his eyes.

He was in a greenish liquid, full of nutrients and stuff his computerised system detected.

Looking around him, confused, his hand moved upwards steadily.

*Where am I? Why am I here?*

The android's computer system readied a Through maneuver. Just as the android was about to walk through the glass, he saw something that made his computer system quirk.

Her.

Bubbles formed around his mouth as he called out her name.
And the memories were formed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura cried, tears running down her mechanical eyes.
The youth in the tube stared down at the green eyed beauty, eyes filled with joy.

Then he went through the glass.

"Sakura-san..." he whispered.
"You're alive."

"Barely, Syaoran-kun... you had us all worried! You wouldn't wake up at all. It's been 3 days after Eriol-kun installed that chip into your body..."

The couple then embraced lovingly, uncaring of the onlookers.

"There's no time for embracing right now, Sakura-san."

Sakura looked up and saw Eriol once more, though he looked very drained of energy.
As she was about to thank him, he held up his hand.

"No time, Sa... Sakura-san, we have to get out of here immediately." Behind him stood Spinel and Ruby.

"Where are we going, Hiiragizawa?"

"To... another place where there will be light forever. Where the sun isn't going to die."

~~~~~~~~~~~

The two descendents of Clow looked very troubled. So did the two original guardians of Clow. If Eriol didn't mean another planet, did he mean the land of Death?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*I can't let this happen. I can't*
Sakura trembled slightly.

Believe in yourself...

"Daijobou-ka, Sakura-san?" Both her love and half father said.

*I Can't Let this happen...* Sakura looked at her guardians, her love, her friend and his guardians.

With Sakura-chan, everything will be fine...

*I don't believe this is happening...* Cerberus nuzzled her, trying his best to reassure his "best friend".

You have the invincible spell...

"I WON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!"

As she spoke out her last thoughts, Time found its place in the warp and they were sent back to before... back to when it all started.

Ending for you to decide.

Thanks for reading this. If you just browsed through, thanks for browsing through.

(Theme song of Desperado plays in back ground)

Suppi: *snicker* Desperado's the word, indeed!
A/N In here, Syaoran's more computerised 'cos Eriol added something extra into him. That's why he had all those functions Sakura didn't.
