What happened?" Sakura said staring at the empty room
"I don't know, It doesn't look good." Syaoran said while taking out his charm that turns into his sword.
It looked as if everyone vanished. Cups lay on the ground and the food on the table look as if everyone had just left them. They heard a noise behind them and they turned to see Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo, what happened?" Sakura asked
"I have no idea," Tomoyo said with shock written all over her face "I was outside."
"Outside?" Syaoran asked suspiciously "You didn't."
"Tape it?" Tomoyo finished the question while taping the tape recorder in her hand. Sakura and Syaoran turned red "Of course, you didn't think I'd miss the first kiss of my favorite couple did you?"
"Great." Sakura said.
"I'll give you both copies. Please don't make me destroy it," She begged with all our puppy dog eyes.
Syaoran and Sakura both liked the idea of having a copy of it. Blushing furiously they nodded.
"As long as you don't show it to anyone else ok?" Syaoran added
Tomoyo nodded. Then they turned back to the room. Sakura took a step inside and instantly her foot started to vanish. Syaoran pulled her arm firmly and once her foot left the floor it reappeared. Still holding on to Sakura he chanted and formed his sword. There was a rustling from behind them and they turned to see Yue and Keroberus hovering above them.
"What's going on?" Syaoran asked
"Have you heard of Shaka?" Yue said plainly. Not even surprised to see Syaoran there.
"Yes, he is feared by all the Li family. He has made many powerful magicians disappear and many were never seen again. Those who did return were never the same. None of them would talk about it. But what does he have to do with this? He hasn't done anything in years."
"He's back and. he wants Sakura," Keroberus said
"You're not going to make her go are you?" Syaoran asked frantically.
Keroberus looked to the side. Not making eye contact with any of them. Yue looked calmly at the group.
"That's up to her," he said calmly.
"Yue. What happens if I don't go?" Sakura asked in a shaky voice.
"The people who disappeared here wouldn't be the last,"
Sakura nodded slowly. Syaoran looked shocked
"You can't be considering going! There's got to be another way!" he yelled
"You know I have to go. If there was another way they would have found it already," she said quietly to Syaoran. Then turning to Keroberus "That's why you've been going out all the time isn't it?"
All Keroberus could do was nod still avoiding her eyes. She walked over to where he was hovering and hugged him around his neck. He looked shocked but didn't protest.
"Don't worry I'll be fine," she whispered quietly to him as he laid his head on her shoulder. "Thank you. for being the best guardian-friend I could have ever had."
She kissed him on his forehead and wiped tears from her eyes. Keroberus smiled weakly. She turned to Yue.
"I'm ready," she said
"Can't I go with her?" Syaoran asked desperately, already knowing the answer. "You can't go Sakura. not now."
Sakura smiled slightly as she said the words to release the key she now held in her hand. Keroberus had brought the Sakura cards with him.
"Release!" she yelled out and held the star staff in her hand.
"No, please," Syaoran pleaded
"Sleep. Make him sleep till I am far away," she said sadly
Sleep released from the card in her hand and drifted toward Syaoran.
"Make sure you come back," he said before sleep reached him
Then as it flew over him he feel backwards and Sakura caught him and kneeled on the ground next to him. Syaoran's face looked worried and very disturbed. She took out another card.
"Dream, make him have pleasant dreams until he wakes," she said and released the dream card.
Syaoran's face slowly eased and he blushed a little.
"I love you Sakura," he mumbled
Sakura smiled and kissed him on his burning cheeks.
"You're cute when you're sleeping," she whispered to him
She laid Syaoran on the ground and turned to see Tomoyo tape-recording the scene. She blushed a little then walked calmly over to her.
"It's your turn now," she said to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo nodded. They hugged, then Sakura used sleep and dream once again. Tomoyo drifted off into a peaceful sleep next to Syaoran. Sakura then used float to suspend them into the air.
"Kero," Sakura said to Keroberus "nobody's home now, will you take them back to the house and watch over them?" he nodded in response.
"I will take you then, are you ready?" Yue asked
Sakura sent the float to her house and used the fly to produce two wings on her back.
"I'm ready," she said
They flew off in into the distance.
They had flown in silence for quite some time when Yue stopped suddenly and turned to Sakura.
"This is as far as I can take you. From here you fly fast straight- ahead and you will fly through an invisible portal to his mansion. I'm not sure what he wants, he is unpredictable," he paused "Be careful."
Sakura hugged him.
"Thank you" she said "Thank you for being there all those times." She broke the hug. "If I don't return, please explain it all to Oni-chan. He already knows quite a bit. He deserves to know it all."
Yue nodded and Sakura flew ahead full speed
Syaoran woke up slowly from his sleep. In the past half-hour he had dreamt some of the best dreams he had dreamt in his entire lifetime. He had almost completely forgotten what happened earlier. He looked around and noticed he was sleeping on an unfamiliar couch. It all suddenly came back to him and he ran up the stairs to Sakura's room. He found Tomoyo sleeping peacefully on Sakura's bed and Kero (now in his false form) floating near a picture of Sakura.
"So you're awake," he said without turning around.
"Isn't there something we can do?" Syaoran asked
"Nope, it's up to her now. All we could do is make it worse."
"I wish I could do something."
"Same here." Kero replied, regret and sorrow weighing his voice.
Syaoran looked around the room; it had been so long since he had been here. He felt her aura all around the room. He paused as he noticed the bear he had given to her so long ago. Then he came across the postcards.
"She kept all those?" he asked
Kero turned to see Syaoran pointing at the postcards.
"Yes, they meant a lot to her," he relied "You better never treat her wrong, there's a lot of people who'll track you down."
"Leave him alone Kero," A voice said from behind them.
They turned to see Tomoyo sitting up in Sakura's bed.
"You ok?" She asked Syaoran sympathetically.
"Yeah. I'm fine," he said unconvincingly.
"It's a good thing you're here," she said
"Why? I can't do anything to help."
"She'll try harder," Tomoyo replied "She's got something to come back to now."
"I hope so,"
