*Chapter Eleven - Captured and Sought After*
Heio moved his arm rapidly and slammed it up
against the wall next to him. Leira cried out in pain, but held
her firm grip on his arm with her teeth.
Sunni tried to get up out of bed, "Leave Leira alone! You're
fight is with me!"
Her Earth staff charm on her necklace startled to glow a warm,
bright green. She held it in her hands, feeling its power as she
watched her guardian, and friend, try to keep the sorcerer away.
"Earth Mahou Ki, give me strength and power to fight."
She implored quietly.
Green light surrounded Sunni and she rose to fight Heio, "I
won't let you terrorize my friends!"
Kero moaned in pain as he woke, "Sunni?" He looked up
at the teen, "Becareful."
Sunni nodded, not taking her eyes off Heio.
Leira felt her hold on Heio weakening. With one more blow from
Heio, she fell to the ground, No...I can't give up now...I'm
supposed to protect Mistress Sunni... Those were her last
thoughts before her world went dark.
"Leira!" Sunni called out in shock, then her eyes
darkened. She stared at Heio, "As the Sora Hi Hime of the
Magic Kingdom, I will destroy you."
Heio laughed and lifted his arm up and pointed his index finger
at Sunni, "That's what you think Chibi Hime."
Sunni's eyes flared red as she looked at him. Then to her
surprise, the black mist surrounding him advanced on her.
She was lifted up in the air by it, Heio didn't even flinch as he
forced the mist to crush Sunni.
Sunni screamed in pain and tried to get the black mist away.
Sakura heard the scream and kept trying to find Syaoran, she
needed his help. She ran outside to find him by the woods,
looking at something.
Sanyo heard the cry also, forgetting his own sorrow, he ran
downstairs. He arrived too late though.
Heio had Sunni firmly in his black mist, she had passed out cold.
"I've got you! Now I will finally get the joy of seeing you
die Sora Hi Hime."
"No!" Sanyo cried from the doorway, "I won't let
you hurt her!"
He started to run towards Heio, only to be thrown back by more
black mist.
Heio sighed to himself, "I see that I shall have to finish
her off in the Magic Kingdom. No matter."
Sanyo braced himself at the door and caught his breath. Then he
started at Heio again, when suddenly Heio and Sunni vanished in
an ice-cold blue fog. Sanyo ran into the wall and fell to the
floor.
Syaoran and Sakura rushed into the room. Syaoran was holding
something in his hand.
Sakura gasped in shock, "We're too late!"
Syaoran hurried to tend to the two guardians, while Sakura helped
her son up, "Sanyo? What happened? Are you hurt? Can you
stand?"
"Mom?" Sanyo's voice came softly,
"Heiowe've got to save them
mom. We've just gottaget to the magic kingdom."
Sanyo forced himself to stand, "We've got to get Sunni
before Heio destroys her."
Syaoran picked up the bloody mass of a calico kitten,
"Leira?"
Leira's voice crackled as she tried to speak, "I failed my
purpose, Sora Hi Hime Ceridwena has been captured."
Kero appeared beside Syaoran's side, "She's gone?"
Leira nodded as her eyes watered, "I must go save her in the
Magic Kingdom."
Sanyo rushed to Leira, with Sakura trailing behind him, "How
do I get there? To the Magic Kingdom?"
Leira looked up towards the sky, letting up a quiet plea,
"Please Master King Hindon, forgive me for letting Heio get
Little Mistress. Let me have my true form so that I can save
her."
Everyone eyed her warily, wondering what she was doing.
Leira closed her small cat eyes and chanted, "Ancient Magic
hear my plea, may my true form come to me."
Energy shot out of Leira and everyone was pushed back.
Sakura wobbled backwards, only to be caught by Syaoran,
"What's happening Syaoran?"
Light surrounded the cat as she was transformed into her human
form. Her cuts and scrapes were gone and her skin was creamy
ivory.
Sanyo gaped at the violet-eyed lass, "Leira? Is that
you?"
Leira nodded rapidly, with newfound energy, her violet hair
whipping across her face, "We need to hurry. We're going to
the Magic Kingdom. We're going to save Sunni."
Leira smiled a bit and thought quietly to herself, Thank you
King Hindon
Sakura pushed back a strand of her amber hair, "How do we
get there?"
"I'm able to take only one of you."
Syaoran thought it should be him of course, "I'll go."
Sanyo wobbled, but held his ground, "No."
They all turned to him; "I'm going."
Sakura nodded, she knew why he wanted to go. He was in love with
her.
Leira sighed, "I suppose so."
Kero flew back and forth, "Is there anything we'll be able
to do here?"
Leira shook her head sadly, "Unless the King and Queen send
you to the Magic Kingdom in you're dreams there is no way that
you can help."
"What are we going to do when we get there?" Sanyo
asked, "Besides finding and killing Heio." Sanyo
gritted his teeth.
"We need to go tell the King and Queen. They need to know
what has happened."
Sanyo gave his head a quick nod.
Leira stood apart from the group, "We don't have much time,
come on Sanyo."
Sanyo stood beside Leira.
Sakura's eyes watered, "Be careful Sanyo. You too
Leira."
"Bye Mom. Dad. Kero."
Syaoran felt a pang in his heart; his only son was leaving. He
may not come back. No. He will come back. He will come back.
Leira closed her eyes, "Sky Mahou Ki, transportation to the
Magic Kingdom I seek. I beseech you! Send us to the Magic
Kingdom!"

A Sunnie Note: *//(^ ^)\\* I like having reviews! *sigh* Thank
you to all you who gave me 55 reviews! It makes me feel really
special! I'm going to be going to be TRYING to edit and revise my
stories
I'll try to Update, but I can't promise anything. Birdie (the
artist friend of mine) says that my grammar isn't so hot
-_-U;; I knowso that's why I'm going to be editing for
awhile (I've got a lot of work to doespecially with The
Forgotten Magic. That'll take FOREVER to editall those
chapters)
The next chapter will break a few hearts :'( But I had to think
of something! I'm already in the process of writing it. I just
hope no one flames me because of itarg!
Guess What: I wrote this chapter while trying to eat my lunch at
the same time //(- -)\\U. *Pops a Grape into Mouth* I had Ham and
Cheese Ritz crackers, grapes, strawberries, and soda *//(^ ^)\\*
Review Thank-yous and Comments:
raven - Hehehehe. I knowI keep making sad things
happen *sniff* wellevery story needs sad
conflictsthis one just has too many
Sakura_miaka - King Hindon (Sunni's Dad) Decided that it would be
safer if Leira didn't have any knowledge of Sunni's past. If
Leira did remember, then Heio would be able to track her down
easier because she would be on guard more. Leira is one of my
favorite characters in here! She's so loyal! (If you want to get
technical, Leira could be of the same species as Luna and Artemis
from Sailor Moon. I just liked the idea of having a cat as a
guaradian for Sunnino other animal seemed to fit her.)
Pharaoh_Yami_Yugi - UhI don't know if I could even handle
posting ANOTHER story. It's hard enough working on the ones I
have now. It would be much easier if I only had one story to
write on, but (right now) I have three CCS fanfictions, two of my
original manga/animes, and a few other things here and there.
cherryblossom - Thanx!
sariastar - Tei Hee Hee. I did think the story was getting out of
control. I've been planning on ending it at 15 chapters though.
Don't know if it'll work out though. Hmmmmm
Sakura-Hoshi - Don't die before you get to read the ending ^_^
j/k
animegirl-mika - Well he did go back from where he came
fromhe just took Sunni-chan with him. ^_^U;;
Hmmmmaybe I won't try editing all my stories. It WOULD take
longer to post thenwhat do you all think?
SPECIAL THANKYOU TO YOU EIGHT PEOPLE WHO HAVE ME ON YOUR FAVORITE'S LIST!!!! THIS CHAPPIE IS DEDICATED TO YOU! (8-17-02)
