Chapter 7

The Prophecy part I

Sakura couldn't believe it. Soul mates? Her and Syaoran? It was like a dream come true, but she just couldn't believe it. She looked over at Syaoran. He was looking at her, a joy so great apparent on his handsome face, that Sakura couldn't help but smile at him. There was no doubt in his eyes, only love.

"I think it's probably time we gave you an explanation." Eriol said. He motioned for them to sit in the two chairs that were facing his own. They obeyed sitting in the comfy chairs. Without warning, Syaoran gripped Sakura's hand in his own. Eriol started to explain. "Many years ago, The 'Devil' was causing problems here on Earth. The other powers decided that they needed to change this. They knew of a great and powerful sorcerer, who was a good man, and apposed the devil. His name was Clow reed, and they had one daughter, and one son. They gave him and his loving wife, a second beautiful daughter. She was beautiful, innocent and good to everyone. She had many friends, and many people, even those influenced by the Devil, were charmed by her. The powers were waiting until she was old enough, before telling her of her mission. They waited too long. She was killed, by her enemies at the age of 15."

Sakura shuddered at these words. Her eyes roving out the window to fix on the sun. Sakura knew that if she stared at it for to long she would be blinded, but she found that she couldn't shift her gaze. She tried to move her head, to no avail. She couldn't even close her eyes. She heard voices calling her, but they sounded as though they came from a long distance away. Suddenly, the sun flared brilliantly orange, turning to red, blinding Sakura.

Eriol stopped talking as Sakura stared out the window at the sun without blinking. He walked over and tried to move her head. It didn't work. The moment her touched her, he felt fire. "SAKURA!" he yelled now afraid for the safety of his half daughter. Suddenly Sakura's eyes closed, and she collapsed. Syaoran caught her as she fell. He carried her over to the couch, laying her down. He turned to look at Eriol, suddenly very angry. "What happened to her?" He demanded. Eriol shook his head. "She has come back. This is Her doing. There is nothing we can do but wait. This would explain the difficulties that have been occurring. I'm afraid My cute little descendant, that we will have to wait for Sakura to come back to us."

Sakura opened her eyes to sunspots. It took her a minuet to clear them, before she could look around. Again she was in a plain of dead grass and plants, with one dead tree, with no leaves or any sign of life. This time she knew what to expect. She stood her ground, ready for anything. Or so she thought. There was a popping noise right in front of her. Sakura leaped up 2 feet off the ground as the devil appeared right in front of her.

Lin Yao. She whispered her eyes narrowing. The devil smirked at her. You have a good memory doomed one. she said. So you have found out the truth, or part of it. You have figured out that you are the girl in the reincarnation's story. Sakura looked into the beings eyes, and suddenly knew that she had something up her sleeve. She was right. All of a sudden, Sakura found herself in a pillar of flame. The pain was incredible. Although a rational part of her mind told her that this was just a dream, another part of her mind argued that this was real pain..........

............ Eriol and Syaoran looked at Sakura. Suddenly Eriol gasped. Sakura had a faint orange glow around her, almost the colour of fire, and getting darker all the time, moving towards red. He pushed Syaoran out of the way. He closed his eyes, blue fire sparkling at his finger tips. He opened his eyes, launching the fire at Sakura. The blue fire formed a protective barrier around Sakura, blocking the red glow..........

............. Sakura screamed out as the fire burnt her flesh. suddenly out of nowhere, a blue fire surrounded her, protecting her from the worst of the flames. She sighed in relief. She felt two familiar aurora's on the edge of her senses. A green light erupted from her chest, blinding her. When she was able to open her eyes again, she found herself laying on a couch, Eriol standing over her, and Syaoran on one knee panting. Sakura slowly sat up. She looked at Syaoran. "Syao-chan? are you alright?" She asked worriedly, putting a hand on his shoulder. He nodded giving her a tired smile. "Yes. I'm fine. Just tired that's all." he said. Eriol sat down on the couch near her feet. "I think I should finish what I was saying, before she gets you like that again Sakura" he looked over to where Kero and Nakuru had been (Nakuru had to take Kero out of the room before he killed Syaoran), then turned back to Sakura. He opened his mouth to tell her all about Lin Yao, but Sakura interrupted him. "It's alright, I already know who Lin Yao is" She said. She told them all about her 'Dream' and about what had happened only minuets ago. The two men looked at each other worriedly. Eriol nodded. "Yes Sakura. You were the girl in my story. I cannot tell the two of you about the prophecy, because things have been slightly altered thanks to Lin Yao, and we must let things go on course. There is one thing both of you need to be aware of. Be careful! Especially tonight, because Sakura, this was the day, 100 years ago, that you were killed. If Lin Yao is in her right mind, she will be trying to get you because her power over you today is at it's strongest. Any other time, she can only suggest. But tonight, she can kill." Eriol said looking at his one time daughter. No one spoke for a few minuets. It was Syaoran who broke the uncomfortable silence. "why is it she can get Sakura, but not me?" Eriol looked at him impressed. "She can get Sakura, because Sakura was killed by her, therefore there is a kind of bond created that enables her to go after Sakura." Eriol looked up at the clock. "You two should go. It's getting late, and I don't want either one of you walking around at night. He glanced at Sakura who looked down.

Ten minuets later, Sakura and Syaoran were walking down the street towards Sakura's house. Syaoran had insisted on walking her home. "I'm sorry" Sakura whispered as they walked in silence. Syaoran looked down at her surprised. "Why?" "For listening to that awful Lin Yao, and... and for saying that I....I..... didn't love you..." Sakura began starting to sob, "because I did!" Sakura sobbed burying her face in her hands. Syaoran put his arm around her. "shhhhh it's alright. You did what you thought was right. It's okay it wasn't your fault. Just know that I will always love you." A few minuets later, they arrived at Sakura's house Syaoran frowned. There was no car in the drive way, and there were no lights on in the house. They walked up to the front door and Sakura reached out and took the note off the door. She read it and turned to Syaoran. "Dad was called to his dig because something happened. He expects to be gone most of the week, and Touya's at Yukito's for the weekend, and will be back Sunday night. "do you have a house key?" Syaoran asked. She nodded pulling them out of her pocket. She opened the door, and went inside turning the lights on. Syaoran closed the door, fallowing her inside the house. "I should probably get home" He said. Sakura turned to him and grabbed two fistfuls of his shirt. "Please Syaoran" She said her eyes pleading and scared "don't go, Tonight is the worst, please stay and protect me?" He looked into her green eyes. She bore an odd resemblance to a sad puppy. 'I'm going soft' he grumbled to himself as he gave in. He nodded, causing Sakura to jump for joy.

That night, after they had watched a movie, Syaoran and Sakura went up to her bedroom. Sakura looked at Syaoran about to thank him, when he captured her lips in a kiss. They broke apart. Sakura searched his eyes, and they kissed again. This time they kissed with passion, sending tingles throughout their bodies.

They pulled apart again. Syaoran trailed his finger softly down her cheek, and outlining her soft lips. "do you know why we use our lips to kiss?" he asked her softly she shook her head unable to break her gaze from his. "because, they are very sensitive to touch." He whispered. Then he kissed her again. This time deepening the kiss. Suddenly Sakura reached out. Grasping his shirt gently, she slowly began to undo the buttons.

When his shirt lay open, Sakura rested her hands on his chest. She realised when she felt his heart speed up, that her own was as well. Her breath came fast. Syaoran grasped her face firmly in both hands kissing her again, feeling the emotions pass between them. Syaoran slowly began to slip off her shirt, nuzzling her neck.

It wasn't until she was down to her shorts she wore under her skirt, and bra, and he was down to boxers, that she realized what was happening. She pulled away from him. He looked at her confused. "We shouldn't" She told him looking at the floor. "I'm still nervous, and I don't want to hurt..." She patted her stomach. Syaoran nodded. "I understand." He silently berated himself. Of course she would be nervous! Who wouldn't be?

After they had gotten into Pyjama's, Sakura lay beside Syaoran in her bed. "Ashiteru Sakura" He whispered, kissing her forehead. Sakura sighed blissfully, moving closer. "Ashiteru Syaoran" She whispered. She stayed awake for a while, listening to his strong heart beating, before drifting off into the land of dreams.
