Hey minna!
Sorry for the long delay, but school is really started now and I have a lot of stuff to do. Plus, I was reading a wonderful story on ff.net that make me forget about my own story (I'm a lazy writer ne?) Anyway, I hope you guys are not mad for this. There is even a good news, this chapter will be the best (wahoo!), the bad news is that it is almost finished(T.T). But I am working on a new story which I think will be quite good. Well, enough with the babbling and continue with the story!!!
Thanks for all the reviews everyone!
disclaimers: Don't you think I would lost my time writing fictions if I own it?
On with the story!!! ^_^
Chapter 6
The final battle
Tomoyo and Eriol had come back to join Syaoran, but when they arrived, he had already left. They saw Sakura talked to Xao. They couldn't hear what they were saying. Then, Xao left and Sakura collapsed in tears to the ground.
"Sakura! whispered Tomoyo
- I know you're worried about her Tomoyo, but we can't do anything for her, right now, said Eriol"
Tomoyo stared at him and just nodded with tears forming in her eyes. They saw Xao heading for his tower. They followed him and watched him by a window (sneaky). They heard him prepared his evil plan. (see last chapter for the plan)
"Oh no! What are we going to do? asked Tomoyo worried
- You go to Sakura. I'll handle this, said Eriol.
- What? You're crazy, you'll be killed! I don't want to lose you! said Tomoyo.
- It's ok Tomoyo. Now go to Sakura before it's too late," he ordered.
She didn't want to loose him, but she had to trust him, so she did what he said and go to Sakura. Eriol entered the tower, but Xieng Xao had saw them listening to the window. He couldn't let two kids ruined his plans. He easily get rid of Eriol (he didn't kill him). Then, he went to take the girls. He locked Sakura inside a dungeon with Eriol. He put a barrier around them. He then put a spell of total control on Tomoyo and he transformed her into a fake Sakura. Then, he send her to the ball...
*******
Syaoran was very worried. The ball had started a time ago and Sakura wasn't there yet. He was starting to think that the one who kidnapped Sakura (he doesn't know his name -_-') had done something to her. But then, his eyes fell on a lovely lady who was entering the room. 'It's her, she made it' he thought relieved. He came to her happily:
- Sakura! Finally you're here. I was starting to think that you...
- Nothing could have hold me back, she interrupted.
Syaoran smile. He snapped his fingers and a soft music started to play (ooo! how romantic...)
*******
During this time, at the tower, Eriol has gained back his consciousness.
"- We have to make you out of here, he said
- I want to, but how? Sakura (the real) asked
- I'll make a passage for you, Eriol answered
- What? she yelled, No don't do this. If you do, you'll use a lot of energy and I won't let you here, she added
- It's ok, I'll be fine. You have to hurry Sakura, there is no much time left.
- But.."
Eriol had already started to make hole in the barrier. "Hurry! he shouted. I won't be able to keep it open for long." Sakura shook herself and passed through the hole. Just after, the hole closed back and Eriol collapsed to the ground panting hard. " I'll be back" she said to him and with that, she ran to the Li's castle.
*******
Syaoran and Sakura (who is in fact Tomoyo) were dancing happily. Although, Syaoran noticed something strange about her.
"- Sakura?
- Yes?
- Huh... There's...there's something about you that,... I don't know.
- It's ok! Everything will be perfect.
- Alright."
They stopped to dance. Syaoran was starting to make a declaration. A declaration to prove his love for Sakura. He had thought about what Sakura had told him to break the spell. He had concluded that this was the best to do. The real Sakura was now flying to the castle. She arrived just in time to see Syaoran made his declaration. 'Syaoran no' she thought. She tried to find a place to enter the castle, but everything was locked and then she heard: "I'll make a vow. A vow to love my princess eternally." "No!" she yelled but no one heard her. Everybody was happy of the declaration, but then the place darkened and the front doors opened in a burst. A man was standing there and was slowly walking down the steps.
"- So... You proved your love and make a vow? mocked Xao.
- Who are you? asked Syaoran glaring. His eyes widened. It's you, you're the one?
- You're more smart than I thought, said Xao, But you didn't see the truth, he said pointing to the fake Sakura.
- What are you saying? This lady is Sakura, my Sakura (hmm...possessive)!
- Oh really? Xao mocked. He snapped his fingers and the false Sakura fall to floor returning into Tomoyo.
- Noooo! shouted Syaoran. He went to his side, but saw that it wasn't Sakura, that it was Tomoyo.
- Tomoyo? he asked dumbfounded.
- I'm...I'm sorry, she whispered.
- Where is she? asked Syaoran with anger building up inside him. Xao pointed a window and Syaoran saw Sakura flying away.
- She is going to die," Xao said evilly. (no T_T)
Syaoran was furious, but he ignored Xieng Xao. He exited the castle and ran as fast as he could ton find back Sakura. Sakura was getting tired each second. She was flying back to the lake. With her last amount of energy she succeeded to land on the ground and she collapsed. Syaoran arrived just in time. he saw her lying on the ground. He took her on his lap and talked.
"- Oh Sakura. What have I done?
- Syaoran? she whispered
- Yes, it's me! he said with hope.
- Oh Syaoran, I feel so weak. I think I'm going to...
- No, no. You'll be fine, you're going to live, I promise you.
- Syaoran, I love you... with this said she closed her eyes and ceased to breath.
- Sakura? Sa...No! No! What I said was for her, to break the spell, he yelled.
- There's no use to yell, said Xao calmly.
- You!, shouted Syaoran standing up, You can bring her back, I know you can.
- Is that a treat? asked Xao playfully
- I order you to bring her back, Syaoran ordered furiously.
- Oh! But it is a treat. Well, only if you succeed to defeat me."
Xieng Xao then formed energy balls in his hands. He pitched them on the ground making a blinding light. When the light disappeared, a dragon was now standing at the place of Xieng Xao. ' The dragon' thought Syaoran. He took his sword out and readied himself. He called a lightning oufuda, but it only tackled the dragon. He tried other things but without success. Then, the dragon swoop Syaoran in his claws and flew high in the air. Syaoran hit the dragon's claw making it fall Syaoran. But, the dragon seized him again and threw him on a tree. Syaoran was really knocked out, but he stood his ground. The dragon spitted fire in the direction of Syaoran, but he managed to escape. Then, Syaoran saw Eriol standing behind (Eriol had succeeded to free himself).
"-Eriol? asked Syaoran confused.
- Here, I'll give you my strength" he said.
Eriol glowed red and his energy flew to Syaoran reenergizing him. "Thanks buddy" he said to the weak (again) Eiol. Syaoran was ready to go on, but what could he do? Then, the Sakura cards appeared before him. The Hope stand in front and talked to him:
"- Mistress lover, use us. My friends will lend their powers to you. We believed in you as well as our mistress."
Syaoran nodded and call the Arrow card. His sword transformed into a bow. He took out an arrow and shoot it directly at the dragon's heart. The dragon wasn't expecting this. The arrow got him straight on the heart and he fall into the lake, exploding in clouds of colours. It was finished. Syaoran returned to his love and took her again. He was crying.
"- Sakura! I'm so sorry. I didn't want to lose you. This vow I make was for you because... because I love you. I love you for your courage, your determination. I love you for you.
- Hmmm... Syaoran? Sakura said opening her eyes.
- Yes Sakura! It's me.
- Oh Syaoran I was so scared.
- Shhh...It's alright, it's finished.
- Syaoran I love you.
- I love you too"
And with this they kissed.
