As they flew thru the air, Sakura shivered a bit. It was cold, up in the sky, at night in Hong Kong. Sakura just now remembered this. 'I just hope that they haven't forgotten me completely yet.' Sakura thought as they closed in upon the well. She tried not to cry, she had lost almost everything. And she just hoped that she hadn't lost all that was dear to her yet. As they landed in front of the well, a voice came from inside.
"You have returned, I see. And you have brought friends that I have forgotten. I see that, you wish to get them all back. How about your father, he is here as well. So is Tory, your brother."
"Give them all back to me! If I have to fight you now, I will and I won't lose!" There was a bright flash of light and she was back in the darkness again. Everyone she was close to was around her, Madison, Meilin, Li, Tory, her dad, Yue, Keroberos, and Mrs. Shoaron. "Set them free! Set them free now! Your fight is with me."
"No, I think I will keep them for now and when you are defeated, I will release them and take you. As a bonus, they can now see you and hear you. I did this so that they can watch you fail over and over. The longer this fight lasts, the more they will forget you." They were all pounding on the glass and trying to get out.
"I'll save you guys." 'How am I gonna fight, I can't let dad and Tori see the key and me. But I have to! I have to save them, all of them!' Sakura held out her key and called out loud and clear for everyone to hear.
"Key of Clow, Power of Magic, Power of Light! Surrender the Wand, The force, Ignite! RELEASE!" the Key turned into the Wand of the Card Captor. She held it up toward the ceiling. "I am ready to fight you now, come out and face me!"
"As you wish, it is your defeat after all!" A handsome man and a beautiful woman, or their upper torsos at least, appeared before them all. The group in the glass mirrors now formed 2 lines on each side of them. Sakura put her last remaining cards in her pocket and walked toward the 2 people. "Are you ready to lose, Sakura?" they said in unison.
"I don't know, are you?" Sakura pulled out her first card and called out, holding her staff up high. "Watery card! Release!" a splash of water covered the two of them. The true form of Watery held the two down while Sakura began to capture the Lover's card. "Lover's Card, return to your power…what!" The Watery card appeared in the hand of the woman.
"Wow! Look, I have another card." She smiled as Sakura stood there, anger burning in her eyes. "It's our turn now. Let's use, Sword Card!" A faceless person with a sword in it's hands began to run toward Sakura.
"Shield!" Sakura held up the shield as the person striked again and again with the sword. Sakura was soon backed against the mirror with Madison in it as the sword continued to strike her. "I have to fight back" She pushed back on the shield as it disappeared. The sword and the person did as well. She pulled out another card. "Wood!" The Wood took its true form then became a net of vines, entangling the two people. Suddenly, Firey burned the vines and the man now head wood in his hand.
"That weak card won't work on us!"
"Wood! I'll get you yet! Thunder!" Thunder, in it's true form, jumped up into the air, as streaks of lighting fell all around them, not allowing them to move. "Now, let this be over with! Arrow!" As she hit the card with her staff, an archer appeared above the them all. Arrows rained down from everywhere, all of them hit the card.
"We can't lose. We will not allow you to be happy with the boy!" Sakura looked at Li. She saw the pain in his eyes as she fought.
"I will not let you win! I will save Li and the others. I..I have strong feelings for Li, and no one, not even you can take that away!" The two people attacked her once again and she called out. "Mirror card, make me double the trouble!" suddenly Sakura spilt into two people. They each went in two different ways. The fake Sakura disappeared and the real one stood there, more then a bit stunned. "Um…"
"Now for your defeat. Fall to your knees, Sakura!" The two of them went chest to chest, their fingers intertwined. A giant heart hit Sakura hard and she went unconscious.
Sakura's Dream
"What..What happened? Li, Madison, Dad!" She stood up and looked around. All she saw was darkness all around her. Then, out of nowhere, everyone that was once in the glass boxes were all in front of her, their eyes shadowed over. "Guys! Your free, did I win the fight? What happened?"
"Who are you, I don't know you, do I?" Madison said.
"Madison, what are you talking about, we are friends, remember?"
"What, friends? I have never met you before."
"Meilin, you know me right?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Li, Ms. Shoaron, dad!"
"What? I'm not your father, who is he?" Her dad said.
"You left us, so we left you, little girl."
"Yue, not you too! Kero..Kero!" She ran to Kero and hugged him.
"Let go of me! I don't know you."
"Come on guys! You have to remember me! Please! Li, tell me you still love me."
"I never loved anyone. Not even you."
"You left us alone Sakura. You left us, Sakura." They chanted over and over, surrounding and circling Sakura.
"No. No I didn't mean to leave you, honest…I didn't mean to, NO!"
End Dream
"She is gone, to bad, we were having fun beating you up. Oh well." The two of them did not move from where they were as Sakura lay there, not moving. "I know you can hear us Sakura. Stand up, I have a question to ask you. I will give you one more chance. If you rise now, we will give you a choice." Sakura slowly stood on her feet, she used her staff as a brace.
"What do you mean a choice?" The mirrors became a wall in front of the two people.
"You know what I mean, Ms. Shoaron told you, didn't she? She has lived through it, she is the only one who won against me. But she was not strong enough to capture me, so I came after you."
"What! Li's mom!" She looked at Li's mom and she talked to her thru the glass.
"You have to make a choice. Leave your friends and keep your life, or die trying to save them. You must make your choice."
"She speaks the truth, because that was what she did. She abandoned her friends, her family, even her lover at the time and saved them all in the end. What will you choose?" The Lover's card's true form glared evilly at her and smiled as they powered up.
"I will…fight!" as soon as she said that, they fired at her.
"Sakura!" Li called to her, and she just stood there, waiting. "Storm!" the storm template broke the glass and Li fell to the ground.
"Li!" Sakura closed her eyes as Li ran to her. "Stop Li! Trust me." Sakura looked at Li and smiled. He stopped and watched as the attack got closer and closer. "Light Card, Dark Card, Release!" The two cards transformed into their true form, blocked the incoming blow and attacked the form of Lover's at once. They encased the woman and man in white and black light. "Lover's Card, return to your power confines, Lover's Card!" She held her wand as a bright light encircled the point of the staff. A shining form card appeared as the two people screamed and were sucked in.
"We will never follow you!" With that, they returned to their card form. Sakura fell forward, all the magic she had used drained her.
"I..won…guys." She closed her eyes and Li ran to her as the others fell, now free of the mirror boxes.
"Sakura!" Li held her as they all stood and made their way to her, all but her father and Tory who we unconscious, Julian became Yue. "Come on Sakura, wake up! We have to get out of here. Sakura!"
"Li…" Sakura slowly opened her eyes. She was very weak from the battle and calling for the two most powerful cards at once.
"Sakura! Come on Sakura, get up, I'll help, we all will. Remember the promise? We work as a team. Come on Sakura, we have to get out of here."
"Li…I..I love you." She whispered almost in his ear. His eyes went wide as he laid her head on his shoulder. He put his arms around her as Madison and him got her up on her feet. Yue helped Tory, Keroberos put Sakura's father on his back.
"Come on Sakura, let's go back." He leaned close to her and whispered, "I love you to, Sakura." Sakura stood with Li's help and held out her wand as all the cards returned to her.
"The cards, they returned." She grabbed a card and called out, "Fly!" she got on her staff, as did Li.
"Madison and Li can ride with me, Keroberos, can you take my dad since he's still asleep and help Ms. Shoaron and Yue you get Tory and Meilin, though he's heavy enough on his own?" Sakura suggested.
"Yes." Yue and Keroberos said in unison. They all got to their 'rides' and flew out of the well and landed outside. Once outside, Tory and Mr. Avalon woke up, Yue returned to being Julian, and Kero played the toy once more. After some fast talking and blatant lying, they all walked to the hotel and when they entered, they returned to their rooms. Meilin and Ms. Shoaron waited at the door for Li. Li was in Sakura's room, placing the cards back in the book.
"Li, did you mean, what you said?" She blushed deeply, still shocked that she managed to tell him she loved him.
"Yea, I did Sakura. You were..strong today. I thought you might have died. I was really worried about you." He hugged her, then backed away, not looking her in the eyes. He got up to leave and walked to the door.
"Li, wait. Maybe we can have a normal day tomorrow, and maybe..hang out."
"Or, instead of hanging out we could, maybe, go to the movies, or out to lunch. I know a good place, since this is my home town, after all." He looked over his shoulder to see her right behind him. They hugged once more and Li kissed her on the cheek and quickly walked out the door, blushing badly. By the time Sakura got the to door that lead to the hallway, they were already out of the large hotel room. Sakura placed her hand on her cheek and blushed as the reality rushed toward her. Li Shoaron, the guy who once hated her, had just kissed her! She walked back inside the room and sat on the couch as Madison came out of the shower and walked to her.
"Sakura, what's wrong, are you not feeling good?"
"No, I'm feeling fine Madison, just fine!" she hugged her best friend, smiling.
"Whoa, what happened? What did I miss?"
"Li just kissed her, that little..!" Kero floated in the room.
"Your kidding! Did he Sakura?"
"Yes, he did..hey, wait a minute! How did you know Kero!"
"I watched the whole thing, I mean, oops." Kero smiled innocently.
"Kero!" Sakura grabbed Kero and started to strangle him, but let go. "He loves me, Madison. And I love him too." They spent the rest of the night, until nearly midnight, talking about it. They eventally passed out, sprawled out on Sakura's bed. Yue watched over Sakura, for he too saw the two kiss. He was glad that Sakura finally found someone, but he still wondered what would happen to his human side, Julian.
The next morning, Sakura and Madison hung out with Li and Meilin all day. Sakura and Li held hands as Meilin and Madison smiled, glad that the two of them had revealed their true feeling for each other. The trip neared it's end and Li promised to try and visit her in Japan. Sakura's dad, Tory, Julian, Sakura and Madison got on the plane and left for home, but not before Li and Sakura had a real kiss, on the lips, not to mention the great time they all had for the rest of the trip. Life had almost returned to normal, but something still wondered Sakura, who was that person on the phone that she had spoken too? How did he know so much about her, and would they ever talk again?
