REVERSAL LOVE
Chapter 11 - Final Challenge (Part 2)
"SAKURA!!" Syaoran called out. He had one of his hand holding on to his wounded arm. His clothes was partly burnt by Cerberus' flames and his face was full of dust. He limped slowly but painfully around the park to search for Sakura. "Sakura!! Where are you?!!" He wasn't going to give up until he used the last bit of energy within him.
Syaoran was still limping across the park to find Sakura. He felt blood dripping out from his arms. He held the wound tighter and continued to search. "SAKURA!!" He called again. "Oh, Sakura. Please be alright..."
~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Erol was still laying unconscious on the ground. His hands started to move a little while his eyes opened slowly. He sat up straight and looked at his own hands. "How did this happen? I thought I was dead already..." Erol felt a headache on his head. "It doesn't matter. Now I'll have to find that card mistress and that damn descendent of mine!" He pulled himself up and picked up his staff.
Erol pulled out a card from his pocket and threw it in the air. "Move! Transfer me to the Card Mistress!" Small wings grew on his back as he move silently and slowly towards Sakura's hiding place.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was resting at the tree with Tomoyo and Cerberus. She suddenly asked Cerberus, "What happened to Syaoran?"
Cerberus didn't answer her right away. "(Cerberus thinking) Should I tell her? She might get mad at me for what I've done..."
"Kero! Please tell me!" Sakura repeated, this time tears were filling in her eyes. Sakura started imagining what happened in her mind which made herself shaking with horror.
Cerberus couldn't stand Sakura crying so he replied, "I attacked Erol and now he's unconscious..."
"What happened to Syaoran?" She interrupted him. More tears started streaming down her face. "Is he hurt?"
Cerberus took a deep breath and got ready to accept his consequences, "I've shot him with one of my fireballs...His wound should be fairly big..."
"HOW COULD YOU!!" Sakura cried at Cerberus with anger. She collapsed herself on the tree and started crying for Syaoran. Tomoyo immediately comforted Sakura and gave her a hankerchief.
"Syaoran...please, be alright!" Sakura sobbed.
Cerberus felt bad to tell Sakura what had happened. "I'm sorry, Sakura. But I had to save you from him, so I didn't know what else I could've done..."
"I'm sorry," Sakura replied weakly. Cerberus was surprised. "I'm sorry for yelling at you." Sakura wiped her tears and looked at Cerberus with her warm eyes.
"Sakura..." Cerberus looked back at his mistress.
"You've saved my life, and I took my anger out at you. I'm so sorry, Kero," Sakura's tears started bursting out of her eyes again. She felt really bad and wanted to do something to make up for Cerberus. There was a dramatic pause between Sakura and Cerberus. Tomoyo let out some tears of joy to see the heavy friendship between both of them.
Suddenly, there's was some rustling sounds in the bushes. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Cerberus looked at the direction of the bush and waited to see who was there. Out of the bush was Syaoran limping painfully with one of his hand holding his wounded arm. He immediately saw Sakura, and ran to her happily. "Sakura!! You're alright!!"
Sakura wasn't sure whether Syaoran was attacking her or if he's back to normal. She screamed and dodged away from him. Syaoran starred at the frightened Sakura; the feeling of rejection from Sakura was like stabbing his heart with a hundred knifes.
"GET AWAY FROM SAKURA!!" Cerberus shouted at Syaoran and didn't give him a chance to explain. Cerberus immediately tackled the weak Syaoran, sending him flying into the air, and stopped by hitting his body on a large tree. Syaoran was completely knocked out with the hit
Sakura was heart broken. She didn't care anymore whether Syaoran is evil or not. She immediate ran to him and helped him sit up.
"Syaoran!! Syaoran!! Are you alright? Syaoran!!" Sakura shaked him and dripped tears on his cheeks. The tears seemed to ressurect Syaoran. He opened his eyes and saw Sakura crying on his shoulders. He patted her to tell her that everything was alright. Sakura lifted her head from Syaoran's shoulders and showed him her teary face. Syaoran wiped off her tears and admired her beauty.
"Syaoran! You're back!" Sakura cried with joy to see him back to normal.
"I don't know what happened, but I'm glad you're not hurt," Syaoran enjoyed his moment with Sakura.
Tomoyo sat quietly beside a tree and felt happy when Sakura is happy. Cerberus walked closer to the couple and started examining Syaoran. He raised an eyebrow and felt suspicious about his ressurection.
"I don't understand..." Sakura started asking.
"About what?" Both Cerberus and Syaoran wondered at the same time.
"Why did Syaoran attack me and how did he return to normal again?" Sakura was very anxious to know the answer.
"Hmmm..." Cerberus started thinking hard.
"(Syaoran thinking) How is this possible?? I-I've been hurting Sakura? What was happening??"
"Sakura, what card did he use before Syaoran starts attacking you?" Cerberus asked her seriously.
"It was the Love card," Sakura replied.
"Love?" Syaoran repeated to himself. "How did the love card make me attack Sakura?"
"I was right all along. Erol had taken your Love card and transformed it into a negative card. This means that the function of the card is also changed and reversed." Cerberus explained clearly. Everyone gasped at the same time when they knew the truth.
"The Love card is suppose to bless love to couples," Tomoyo stepped in.
"And if the card has been reversed..." Syaoran added.
"Then Love will turn to hate!" Sakura finally realized.
"If I was right, the more Syaoran loves Sakura, the more he will hate her after being possessed by the card." Cerberus finished. Everyone was quiet for a minute and thinking about all that had happened.
Syaoran felt extra guilty. "Sakura..." he looked serious at Sakura. She gave him back a puzzled look. "Promise me, if I'll ever hurt you again, kill me!" Syaoran held on to Sakura's hand tightly.
Sakura was shocked to hear his words. She cried harder and held on tighter to him. "Never! I'll never do anything to hurt you!"
"Don't be so stubborn!" Syaoran yelled back at Sakura. She sobbed harder on his shoulders. Syaoran regreted his yell, and held her gently. "I'm sorry, Sakura. But I don't want to hurt you too," Syaoran explained. Sakura gradually calmed down, but didn't want to let go of Syaoran.
"Everything will be over now..." Sakura whispered, but audible enough for everyone to hear.
"No, it's not over yet," Cerberus interrupted. Everyone turned to Cerberus and waited for him to continue.
"According to the phrase,'The power within is never wrong', something else will happen very soon," Cerberus explained seriously. Everyone's expression changed immediately like they've seen a ghost.
"Hahaha!!! That's very funny!!" Erol suddenly entered into the scene. Cerberus stepped in front of Sakura to protect her.
"I-I thought you were dead..." Sakura spoke in a confused manner. She looked at Cerberus for an answer.
"Heh, I thought I was too! But I guess evil will prevail!!" Erol shouted out with enjoyment. He was also looking a Cerberus in an unusual way.
Cerberus felt guilty of ressurecting him. He avoided eye contact with both of them by looking straight down at the ground. Sakura understood and decided not to make him feel worse.
Syaoran suddenly had a burst of anger towards Erol. "You've made me hurt Sakura! YOU'LL PAY FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO HER!!!" Syaoran picked up his sword and charged furiously at Erol.
Erol laughed hard, then easily dodged his attack. He then used his staff and slammed it on Syaoran's back so hard that he flew across the park.
"Syaoran!!!" Sakura cried. Before she had the opportunity to run to Syaoran, Cerberus immediately stood in front of Sakura.
"No, Sakura! Let me handle this!" Cerberus convinced, leaving Sakura sitting on the ground.
Cerberus charged up to Erol and decided to plan a sudden attack on him. Erol immediately sensed his presence, so he shot a dark wave at Cerberus which caused him to bounce away.
"Hahahaha!! I should give you some credit for effort!!" Erol humiliated him. Cerberus was so hurt so badly that he immediately changed back into Kero.
Tomoyo ran over to Kero and picked him up. "Kero!! Are you ok?? Kero!!" She shaked Kero's small body. Kero was conscious, but badly hurt.
Erol suddenly gathered a dark energy and shot it directly at Kero and Tomoyo.
"NO!!" Sakura cried at the other side.
The energy hit Kero and Tomoyo. Instead of hurting them, it formed a big dark barrier around them similar to the one Erol made earlier.
"Hah! This will keep you out of my business!" Erol said evilly. Tomoyo and Kero was locked inside, but was also safe from the atmosphere.
"Now it's your turn," Erol started walking closer to Sakura. She didn't know what to do, so she moved further away from him. Suddenly, Syaoran jumped up and held tightly on to Erol's legs, stopping him from moving any closer to Sakura.
"Sakura!! Run!!" Syaoran yelled while holding tighter. Sakura was too frightened to move. "Hurry!! Run!!" Syaoran couldn't hold on any longer.
Erol started feeling irritated by Syaoran. "Get out of my way!!" He yelled at Syaoran. Erol kicked Syaoran's face, causing him to faint right on that spot. That very moment severely startled Sakura.
"SYAORAN!!" Sakura cried and ran towards him. Erol grinned, then whipped his staff directly at Sakura's stomach so hard that made her crouch down on the ground speechlessly. Sakura's eyes widened with pain , but tried harder to move close to Syaoran.
"Stupid girl." Erol laughed while looking at Sakura. Kero and Tomoyo both saw Sakura's pain, but was trapped helplessly inside the barrier.
"(Erol thinking) Hmm.with my powers, I can't destroy the card mistress completely. I'll have to find something that can multiply my powers...if only I can find someone whom I could fuse with," Erol started looking around the ruined park. He caught a glimpse at Syaoran's weak body lying on the ground. He grinned and snapped his fingers. "Perfect!"
Erol started mumbling some sort of incantations and waved his staff around. Dark energy started surrounding him as he fades away with the energy. His legs vanished and transformed into dark energy, then his body, then his hands, which only leaves his face unchanged.
Sakura's eyes widened to see the horrific scene. "W-what is happening??" She whispered out, but barely audible because of her pain in the stomach. Erol grinned, then screamed loudly, "SAKURA KINOMOTO!! THIS SHALL BE THE DAY YOU GO TO HELL!!"
Erol's face started vanishing as well and the only thing that's left of him was a big and gaseous dark energy. Everyone could still hear Erol's evil laugh within the smog. Slowly, the dark energy started heading towards Syaoran.
Kero watched as his face turned paler and paler by the minute. "No--- this is not going to happen." Kero started shaking like he saw a ghost. "SAKURA!! GET SYAORAN AWAY FROM HIM!!" Kero screamed from a distance in the barrier. But it was useless. It was impossible for Sakura to hear him within the barrier. Kero shouted louder and waved his hands for Sakura's attention. Still no effect. "Sakura!! You've got to get away..." this time Kero prayed instead.
Sakura watched Syaoran starting to absorb Erol's dark energy. She wanted to pull Syaoran away, but her pain kept her from doing it. More energy entered Syaoran's body and his skin is turning blue. "No.....stop!! Don't do it!" Sakura cried weakly. She tried to crawl closer but it was too late. Syaoran's body had completed absorbed Erol's dark energy.
