The End ~By Fanny chan~

Tears of a Dark Cloak

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So I ask you again, we are heading to a cave called 'Tears of a Dark Cloak'?" Eriol sighed and nodded.

"But why would they name a cave with a name that… that…"

"…Cheesy…?" Eriol finished, sighing once again. Tomoyo nodded. "It's strange."

"Yes, but we would have to pass this cave to get to our destination quicker."

There was silence as the pair ventured past a very wide and open plain. They had left the land of destruction far behind them.

An hour later, a large opening of a murky cave entrance appeared in the distance. It was hidden in a dark corner with occasional unnatural flashes of lightning.

"That must be it." Tomoyo concluded.

As they stood in front of the entrance, soft shuffling of feet quickened behind them. A huge net was then thrown over them, catching them off guard.

"Wha…?"

Three shadows dropped in front of them.

"Hello again," Meiling smirked. "To tell you honestly, we hate to leave unfinished jobs unfinished."

Sakura whispered into Meiling's ear. "Weren't you suppose to say," Sakura started to mimic Meiling's voice. "Didn't you know Unfinished jobs were meant to be finished?"

Meiling sighed and turned towards her. "My dear Sakura, it… MEANS THE SAME THING!!!"

Sakura blinked. "I see." Syaoran patted her head. Unfortunately, Meiling's sharp eyes caught that intimate gesture or so it was to her.

"Syaoran…" she said in a slow deadly tone, taking her eyes off her captives. "What had you just done?" Her ruby eyes had turned into narrow blood-red slits.

Syaoran sweatdropped before grabbing Sakura's hand and dashed away from the cave, Meiling hot on their heels.

"WAIT TILL I CATCH YOU KINOMOTO!!! YOU'LL BE SORRY YOU HAD EVER LAID EYES ON MY BELOVED SYAORAN!!!"

"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Sakura screamed as Syaoran dragged her away.

Meanwhile, Eriol had managed to cut an opening in the net with a pocket knife Syaoran had dropped while running away.

Finally able to escape, he turned and to help Tomoyo up.

"Thank you so much Eriol." Then she turned towards the direction in which her three assailants had dashed off to, a curious look on her face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I had changed it. I found it too corny and densy. So I changed it to something with more reality. I still don't like it though, but I'm satisfied.

Do you think I should add Japanese words to my story? I was tempted to replace 'cute' with 'kawaii'… but couldn't resist adding Sakura's famous phrase- Hoe. Heehee.

P/S: The chapters are getting worse and worse ne? *sighs* I'll pick it up later. Kindly bear through this writer block stage. Thank you.
