REVERSAL LOVE



Chapter 10 - Final Challenge (Part 1)

Sakura's eyes widened to see Syaoran's horrific face. He was paler than ever and his eyes were pitch black. He was surrounded by evil energy waves all around. Syaoran was being controlled by the power of the 'Love' card. He pointed his sword towards Sakura and walked slowly towards her.

"S-Sakura Kinomoto.....MUST DIE!!!" Syaoran chanted as he walked closer and closer to the injured Sakura.

"S-S-Syaoran..." Sakura spoke in disbelief. She looked deeply into Syaoran's eyes to find his true self.

Syaoran repeated, "Card Mistress...DESTROY!!! MUST DIE!!!" His anger grew larger and his eyes were burning everytime he looked closely at Sakura. He dragged his sword along and approached closer to her.

"Don't, Syaoran. Don't come any closer...please..." Sakura still disbelieving the Syaoran in front of her eyes. She pulled herself a little further from the evil Syaoran. Then a little further. And further. Syaoran didn't seem to care, as he walked slowly towards her.

When Syaoran is about two feet away from Sakura, he stopped walking and held his sword with both hands, ready to strike it. He looked down at Sakura, then screamed, "DIE!!!!!!"

"NO!!! DON'T, SYAORAN!!!" Sakura finally screamed to him. Syaoran didn't listen to Sakura and started striking his sword towards Sakura to kill her. Sakura immediated hopped out of the way as the sword has been slammed down to where Sakura was previously sitting. The cement ground cracked and the sword was stuck between it. Sakura gazed at the cracked cement for a very long time, imagining what could've happened if she didn't move quick enough.

Syaoran's face grew angrier and he roared like an uncaged animal. Sakura was extremely frightened by Syaoran's expressions and the way he attacked her. Sakura was breathing very hard as blood drips down her arm uncontrollably. She was crying in agony on the ground, not noticing that Syaoran freed the sword from the cracked cement.

Syaoran approached Sakura again, this time not allowing himself to miss his target. Sakura who was still laying on the ground was looking straight at Syaoran. "Why? Why did you do this..." Sakura pondered for the answer.

Standing on top of the telephone post was Erol, laughing very hard. "Hahahahahaha!!! I wish there was a mirror so that you could see your face right now, Sakura Kinomoto!! You are so pathetic to create such a dumb 'Love' card, yet a powerful one! Who would've known the card that you've created would be going against you right now!!" Erol was enjoying every part of this moment. "Go and kill her, NOW!!" He demanded his orders to Syaoran.

Syaoran roared furiously and started running towards Sakura, who was still crying on the ground. "Please, Syaoran! NO!!" Sakura shook her head and wished Syaoran would listen to her. He charged uncontrollably like a bull towards Sakura while his hands held up his sword.

When Syaoran ran close to Sakura and got ready to slash her into pieces. Sakura layed helplessly on the ground and weakly cried for help. She starred into Syaoran's eyes, which was still filled with anger and hate.

Syaoran started swingin his sword towards Sakura's weak body. Sakura who was in deep pain decided to take the blow since she can't dodge any further. "Why do you hate me?" Sakura whispered to Syaoran. She closed her eyes tightly and waited to be killed by Syaroan's hit.

Suddenly, a ball of fire shot directly at Syaoran. He quickly dodged it, but he discovered a burn on his arm. Syaoran dropped on his knees and held on to his wounded arm. His sword was dropped onto the ground as he cried at his pain. When Sakura opened her eyes, she saw a transformed Cerberus and Tomoyo riding on him.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo and Cerberus both called. Tomoyo got on her legs and helped Sakura up.

"Are you ok, Sakura?" Tears started bursting out of Tomoyo's eyes. The scene of her best friend being severely injured was too much for her to bare.

"Take Sakura to a safe place," Cerberus ordered Tomoyo. He turned to Sakura, "Like you always say, Everything will be alright."

Sakura weakly lifted her head. "Thank you...." Sakura said weakly. Tomoyo pulled her up and headed towards the nearest tree.

Erol got very angry. "YOU WEAKLING!! HOW DARE YOU LET SAKURA KINOMOTO GET AWAY! A DESCENDENT LIKE YOU IS A DISGRACE!!" Erol gathered a ball of dark energy and got ready to shoot Syaroan, who was still injured from his burn.

Erol shot the dark energy towards Syaoran. Just in time, Cerberus aimed a ball of fire towards the dark energy, which resulted a big collision.

Erol turned around and looked at Cerberus. "So, I see you're powers have improved since the last time I saw you."

Cerberus' face was angry, "You've hurt Sakura and made her sad. You're going to pay!!"

"Heh, we'll see about that," Erol replied confidently.

They were standing about five meters away from each other, both staring deeping into each other's eyes. Erol started gathering some more dark energy while Cerberus took a deep breath and got ready to shoot another ball of fire.

Cerberus let out a furocious roar. From his mouth came a huge fireball at least three times as big as the one before. Erol immediately transformed his dark energy into a blue shield surrounding himself. "HAHAHAHA!! You're no match for me! This shield will absorb your flame and shoot it back out at you!!" Erol laughed inside his barrier.

Cerberus narrowed his eyes and watched the fire shoot closer to Erol. Ironically, the barrier started creating fizzing sounds. "What?!?! This is impossible!!" Erol shouted in disbelief. The flame was so large that it started melting the barrier. The fire broke through the shield and was reaching Erol. "NOO!!!!" The flame had wrapped itself around Erol's body and burned continuously.

When the fire ended, Erol was unconscious as he fell onto the ground. His clothes were halfway burnt and his face was covered with dust and ashes. Cerberus walked over to his body and studied him. "Still alive..." Cerberus said to himself. He raised his paws to decide whether or not to kill him. Suddenly, Cerberus was reminded of Clow Reed while looking into his face. He started hesitating his action.

--Flashback-

Clow reed was spending his time in his garden enjoying his tea and a book about magicians. Cerberus was rolling around the flower beds playfully. They were both accompanied by the 'Flower' card who was dancing under the giant cherry tree in their garden. Cerberus, who was in a very good mood, decided to dance along with the 'Flower' card. He tried to follow all the dance moves from the 'Flower' card and had a great time.

Suddenly while Cerberus was imitating a dance move, he tripped over a rock and hit his head on the tree. Clow Reed dropped his book and ran over to Cerberus. The 'Flower' card felt ashamed of causing the accident so she stood aside and bowed her head down.

"Are you ok, Cerberus?" Clow Reed asked worriedly.

"Thank you, master, for caring. I'm fine." Cerberus explained. "Ow!" A big bruise appeared on his forehead. Both Cerberus and Clow Reed couldn't help laughing.

"Here, let me heal you," Clow Reed offered. He put his palm on Cerberus' forehead and started emitting some gold light. About ten seconds later, the bump on Cerberus' disappeared and his pain vanished as well.

Cerberus immediately stood up and bowed his head very low towards Clow Reed. He felt ashamed to use his master's powers on himself. Clow Reed immediately understood Cerberus' feelings, then patted his head.

"Here, I'll teach you this healing technique." Clow Reed gave a warm smile to him. He started demonstrating his powers to Cerberus and explaining the key points to the technique. Cerberus listened carefully and remembered every word he said...

--End of Flashback-

Cerberus' sharp claws streaked on top of Erol's unconscious face. Cerberus started hesitating on his decision whether to kill him or not. After a while, he dropped his paws on the ground and starred at Erol's face. He was too similar to Clow Reed, even if he was the evil side of him. Cerberus looked closely into Erol's face again, and the picture of Clow Reed's kindness kept on jumping into his mind. He didn't know why he did it, but he put his claws on Erol's forehead and used his healing technique.

"You should be fine now..." Cerberus whispered to himself, then took off and looked for Sakura.

Meanwhile at the other side of the park, Syaoran was badly in pain as he tried to pull himself together. The amber color was starting to fill back into his eyes and the true Syaoran was ressurected within him after the blow.

"(Syaoran thinking) What am I doing here? What happened?" He tried hard to clear up his mind, but his last memory was walking Sakura home from their date. "(Syaoran thinking) Sakura...where's Sakura?" Syaoran looked around, but all he saw was the unconscious body of Erol and an annihilated park. "Sakura...Sakura!!!" Syaoran started calling as tears streamed down his cheeks from the disappearance of his love. He managed to get on his feet and started limping around the park and calling Sakura's name loudly.

Cerberus found Sakura and Tomoyo's hiding place and started heading towards the tree. He silently landed, then looked worriedly at Sakura.

"Sakura, I'm sorry for not being able to protect you," Cerberus looked sadly upon his mistress. His expressions was exactly the same when Clow Reed passed away.

Tomoyo tried to comfort him, "It's not your fault, Kero. No one could've prevented this accidently; it was meant to happen." Tomoyo looked deep into Cerberus' eyes and trying to understand him. "Also, you've done more than enough to make Sakura proud of you," she continued. Cerberus was speechless to hear Tomoyo's warm and understanding words. He silently said "Thank you," but didn't think Tomoyo heard him.

Sakura, who was leaning against a tree beside Tomoyo, was holding her hand up to touch Cerberus' face. "Kero, I'm sorry I made you worry..." Sakura was interrupted by a cough. Tomoyo rubbed her back and tried to sooth her a bit.

Cerberus replied, "It is my job to protect my mistress. Please let me help you." Cerberus gently layed his paws on top of Sakura's forhead, the same way he did to Erol. Suddenly, a golden beam of light was emitted from Cerberus' paws. All the wounds and bruises that was shown by the golden light immediately disappeared. Sakura had finally regained her health back. She immediately gave Cerberus a long and warm hug to show her gratitude to him. Tomoyo sat and watched the whole moment as tears was forming in her eyes to see their friendship between one another.
