The Light and the Darkness Part One The Joining Chapter Thirteen To Meet Your Selves (Part One)

"Okay you can take your shower now, Syaoran-kun. While I get Sakura-chan dressed," said a hyper Tomoyo, pulling Sakura along like a rag-doll behind her. Sakura, still holding on to her towels that were hanging loosely, followed.
"She can get dress by herself!" Syaoran said rudely, looking at Sakura's depressed look.
"Yes I can!" stated Sakura, pushing Tomoyo out of their room as Syaoran went to the bathroom.
| Main room |
Mei-ling came out of her room, still adjusting her ceremonial clothes. Hang was just rubbing his head, trying to shake off the morning dizziness. Mei- ling looked puzzled, seeing Eriol smile at Tomoyo who was truing to get into Syaoran and Sakura's bedroom.
"Well, does anyone know when breakfast is being served? You should had made a kitchen Eriol-kun," Hang said, yawning widely with no manners.
"A kitchen is useless here, since all your meals are prepared and served in the great hall. They'll give you food then. But first we need to assemble in the hall of fighters for the presentations." Eriol spoke like this was home to him.
/ Later /
| Hall of fighters |
"Welcome to you all. I am Corac. I speak here in these walls for those that have made it possible for you to be here," an old looking man said.
"Now, we shall begin by the naming of names. And also paring the competitors team by team to face each other in the first round."
From the leaf of the room each different team presented themselves. From a distance, two pairs of emerald and amber eyes were studying Sakura and Syaoran closely.
"So do we use are real name or hide ourselves?" she ask him.
"I don't know yet. Lets wait 'till they present themselves. We'll decide then, ok?" he replied calmly.
She nodded her head in agreement.
(A/N: For the new Sakura and Syaoran I'll put them at the power of ² to tell them apart. Ex: Sakura², Syaoran². And also Syaoran² and Sakura² are 18 years old. I don't recall it I mention it. But you remember that a bit earlier on one of the elders said the tenement wasn't suppose to take place till five more years. Well Eriol solved that little problem ok. now on with the fic.)
Finally, Syaoran's and Sakura's turn came. They based their presentation on the others.
"I'm Li Syaoran. I possess the power of the shadows, dominated by the moon over the sun. And my partner is-" He started and paused to allow her to speak.
"Sakura Kinomoto. I am governed by the power of the star, balance of the moon and sun," she stated proudly. One of the moments she felt the best since they came, she almost felt like it was like old time again, when they were chasing and changing the cards. "And sorry I'm already taken." She added seeing that Syaoran was glaring at two guys who seem to droll over her.
"Well that was unexpected of you!" Syaoran² said, chuckling a bit.
"Mou Shaoran, I didn't say it, she did." Sakura² answer flirting a bit on him.
"Ya, but it still was you in a way." He added back, smiling. She frowned at him just for a moment and then resumed teasing him. Some of the people were starting to notice their behaviour and that they look a lot like Sakura and Syaoran. Some who were there during the last tournament knew very well who they were since they took the first place.
The presentation went on as other competitors addressed them selves to the judges. Some seem to be good adversaries, others they wondered what they were doing here.
"Shaoran² it's gonna be our turn soon. I say we used are real names," came her voice in a whisper only he heard. Syaoran² seemed to think long and hard about it. He only had a few seconds to do so, since it was now their turn next. Sakura² was about to speak but he cut her off, giving her a smile from the corner of his mouth. She smiled feeling happy she wouldn't have to lie.
"I am Sakura Li. I am the card mistress, power of the star balance of the moon and sun. Wife to SYAORAN LI!" she said, stressing the last part, feeling that many eyes were roaming her body 'till then. Some people started glancing back and forth from her and Sakura, trying to make sure they weren't seeing things or hearing things, too.
Sakura and Syaoran stared blankly at themselves for a while, not sure of what just happen, then back at the two persons standing not to far from them. = They look so much like us! = Sakura thought. "I think they are us," Syaoran said in a low tone.
Other that the fact that they look older then them, the differences were few; his hair was very unruly like Syaoran's. It made you wonder if he even knew about the word calm, but hers was very tamed and fell down on her shoulders.
"Well you didn't have to give all those detail honey," Syaoran² said, mocking her a bit.
"I had to. I didn't like the looks I was getting myself."
"Yes, I know, but I would have enjoyed making them put there eyes elsewere," he replied smirking.
"You would," she said, remembering what happened one month ago.
~~ Flash Back ~~
Sakura² was at a bar with Chiharu. Syaoran² had been gone to the bathroom for some time now. And Yamasaki was still at the hospital recovering from his injures. They brought Chiharu with them to try and cheer her up.
The two girls didn't notice two guys staring at them from across the room. They look at each other and nodded with a small grin on their lips.
They walk up to the girls and while one makes conversation, drawing their attention away from their drinks, his partner emptied a capsule of white powder in each of their drinks. He did it just in time since Sakura² went and took a drink in it. The guys smiled a bit that she didn't notice anything.
/ 5 minutes later /
Syaoran was finally trying to make his way out of the over-crowded bathroom. He had to squeeze through the door frame. He froze in his steps, seeing two guys with the girl. He applied a hard glare to his handsome face before proceding over to the table.
At the table, Sakura was now feeling all-to-well the effects of the ecstasy that was sliped into her drink. One of the guys was sitting next to her, slowly starting to place inappropriate caresses on her. Sakura just wondered why she was feeling this way. She was feeling what the guy was doing to her. On Chiharu, it just about knocked her out cold, so she could barely hold her head up.
The guy that was sitting with Chiharu saw Syaoran coming. Syaoran looked like he was gonna kill someone. Namely, him if he stayed there one second more.
"It's time to leave man!" the man told is partner, as he quickly made his get-away.
"Are you crazy? I'm not letting these two cats in heat get away," he said looking at his friend running away on the best deal of the night. Or so he thought.
"WHO ARE THE TWO CATS IN HEAT?!" Syaoran's cold, harsh voice came from behind him.
"Hey, Syaoran, you're back. You want to have fun tonight hum ... ?" She came to him drowsily, her eyes void of emotions.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER, PUNK?!" Syaoran yelled grabbing the guy by his neck, forestalling any breath from reaching his lungs.
"What's wrong, sweetly honey? Why are you so angry?" Sakura had no idea what she was saying. She would say something and then wonder why she said it.
"YOU GAVE HER DRUGS." He said dryly, before punching the strangers lights out.
Syaoran didn't hold anything back, the guy flew about six feet away. By the sound he made landing on the ground, people wondered which part hurted the most; falling on the ground, or the punch. Syaoran hoped it was the punch.
"Hey, hey, Li-san, what's going on? You've never started any fights before. What's up?" asked the Bouncer.
Syaoran didn't say anything to him; he was feeling too mad to talk to anyone with a nice tone. He walked back to Sakura, who didn't understand what was going on. Chiharu was in an even worse shape. Bouncer took a look at Sakura and the other girl he only saw once before and nodded his head.
"Riko, come over here and help Li-san bright the girls to his car," he called to a man on the other side of the room.
"Thanks," Syaoran tried to say as calmly as possible. Every one could still feel the anger in his voice-everyone.
"You're welcome," Bruce said calmly, before pulling the guy from the floor up. As Bruce was passing through the door frame, he sent the guy crashing in it, adding a nasty bump on his head in addition to Li's black eye.
~~ End Flash Back ~~
"I am Syaoran² Li, leader of the Li clan, power of the shadow, governed by the moon. Husband to Sakura² Li." His voice clearly echoed throughout the hall, making the others grow a few goose-bumps on the back of their necks.
"Yes, they are your counter-parts in another dimension," Eriol said looking at Sakura and Syaoran staring at the two people that look a lot like themselves.
A/N: Ha wow, I'm splitting this chapter in two now since it's much longer than what I thought. So sorry, but that also means that the fighting will start a bit later. But I have some really cool fight seems coming up. I know it took me a long time to update but, I was a bit occupied lately. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'd like to thank those that take two minutes to review this story. For those who don't well, don't ask for anything.
