Part 7

Sakura saw the new beast attack her friends and knew they would not be helping her anytime soon. Struggling to her feet, Sakura stood shakily on both legs holding her staff in front of her as she called the sword and power cards. Feeling the cards power seep into her, she was more steady on her feet and charged at the beast that was almost upon her. It roared in outrage as she managed to flip over it and slice it across the back while in the air. The beast disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Panting she ran to help the others who were badly wounded and still fighting the new creature.

"Get away from them." she shouted running towards them. She fought with the monster but because she had used most of her energy on the last monster it wasn't much of a fight as she was again thrown against the tree.

"Sakura no!" Yue said, desperation in his voice. Deep within him, a long awaited power emerged and a large ice blue sword materialized in his hands. Yue didn't question were it had come from and lunged at the beast whose fangs were inches away from Sakura's face.

He rolled out of the way of a death blow and sunk his sword deep into the belly of the beast. It gave a final roar before it too was gone in a puff of black smoke. Yue slowly made his way to Sakura who lay still on the ground, his hand shaking as he gently caressed her cheek and was relieved when pain glazed emerald met silver-violet.

"I thought I'd lost you." Yue said, grinning.

"It'll take more than that to get rid of me." Sakura replied, then winked at him.

Kero limped to the couple, a gash on his front leg making it hard for him to do anything else. Tomoyo came out of hiding, visibly shaking at what she had witnessed.

"I'm gonna go get Toya." she said before rushing off.

"Well, I'd say that was an adventure I could have done without." Kero commented, his healing powers kicking in.

"You and me both." Yue put in, checking Sakura's injuries.

"At least I got that woman out of the way and healed. Ow! Yue that hurt." Sakura cried, flinching away from his touch on her side.

"Well it should, it looks like it really took a chunk out of you. I think we should take you to the hospital. The cards can only do so much and you're already weak. Come on, I'll carry you." Yue got up and was about to pick her up when he noticed the sword in his hand slowly fade. He put in the back of his mind and leaned over to take Sakura in his arms.

"Yue you need to get yourself look at as well. You're bleeding." Sakura's hand breezed over a scratch on his forehead.

"I'll take care of it later. It's you I'm worried about."

"Sakura!" Toya shouted, running with Tomoyo by his side.

"Sometimes it's good to have a brother who knows medicine around." Sakura said, then passed out.
