A SMALL RECAP: previous chapter: At lunch, Lang Kisuri walked up to Sakura, and asked for a minute to talk to her alone. Sakura felt strange, she felt a slight aura in him, but it was instantly gone.
When he led her into the corner, alone, he closed his eyes, and released his aura. Sakura suddenly felt a strong green aura….that sensed exactly like…..Syaoran's.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura took a few step back and her body trembled in fear.
"Is….i-i-is that YOU, syaoran?" Sakura asked, her voice trembling like her body. His intense amber eyes was completely emotionless…almost as if he was empty.
"No…I am not Li Syaoran," he said.
"b-b-but that's his aura, and that's his body!" Sakura said in disbelief.
"I pity him, you call yourself his loved one, and you do not know who he really is, I'm sure you can find something different from me and your "lovely" Syaoran," he said with a smirk. Sakura gulped. What was going on??
"He was sent out on a mission by his elders to take something from me, he was defeated, and I saw the potential in his power and magic, so I took over his body and his aura," he said.
"But if you defeated him, then you're more powerful, why would need him then??" She asked.
"..my powers are still there, but no power can be too much," he said with a smirk.
"What do you want with me?" She asked. Suddenly she almost thought she glimpsed a shot of pain in his eyes, but only for a split second, because it was soon back to the way it was before, empty, emotionless.
"You'll find out, later, not yet though," he said as he turned around and walked down the hallway.
"WAIT DON'T WALK AWAY TELL ME WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME!" she yelled, but only his shadow was left and vanished at around the corner. Sakura stood there, shocked, and confused. She slowly headed back to the cafeteria.
"Sakura-chan, you ok? You look like you've just seen a ghost!" Tomoyo said with a giggle. Sakura didn't laugh though. Tomoyo looked at her friend for a while.
"Sakura-chan, are you sure you're ok? You don't look like it, what happened?" She said, with a serious and gentle tone. Sakura snapped out of her trance and smiled softly and shook her head.
"Never mind that," she said, Tomoyo shrugged and they finished their lunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura walked alone on the streets of Tomoeda that evening. She couldn't get Lang Kisuri out of her head. Who was he? She kept asking herself. What he said about Syaoran-kun, is it true? She wondered. A tear slowly crept into her eyes, and down her cheek. I don't want to lose you Syaoran, you said you'd come back, you lied……come back……I don't think I can wait any longer… with her thoughts filled inside her head, she didn't see where she was going and bumped into someone.
"Gomen nasai!" Sakura bowed apologetically. She looked up to find a warm smile of Sukito.
"it's ok sakura-chan, going home?" he asked. Sakura shrugged.
"I don't even know, I'm really confused," she said. She wanted to pour out all her thoughts, what happened with Kisuri today, but she couldn't, remembering that he did not know about the magic, and it would only frighten him….she thought.
"want to go take a walk in the park with me? I have some thinking to do as well," he chuckled. Sakura smiled. His smile had always comforted her, maybe all her problems seem so light, part of her wished it would be Syaoran who was there, but the other half, which was winning- was glad that it was Sukito that was there to comfort her. She was tired of crying and tired of waiting, she let herself fall into the embrace of his smile.
They sat down at the swings and she slowly swung herself lightly, feeling the breeze blowing her hair slightly, a wonderful light feeling. Suddenly images of Syaoran and her at the park…their card capturing days, the day she had cried on his shoulder at the very same park, the day that Yukito-san had softly told her he wasn't for her, she cried softly on Syaoran's shoulder. She wished that his shoulder would be there right then for these tears to rest upon. She closed her eyes and more tears welled up. Suddenly she felt a soft hand on her shoulders. She opened them and met the kind eyes of sukito once more. She stood up in front of him and buried her face in his shoulder as her hot tears kept running.
A shadow was around the corner. The haunting eyes stared at them, every move. Sakura looked his way and it zipped away, not to let Sakura notice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said happily the next day as she got to school early. Tomoyo had her eyes widened.
"what are you doing here??" She asked.
"what do you mean? This is my school, did you forget!?" She said with a laugh.
"noo why are you here so early? And you seem like you're in a good mood, and I almost thought you might need a nurse or something yesterday," Tomoyo said. Sakura laughed. She sat down and told Tomoyo about yesterday what had happened, including Lang Kisuri and Sukito. Tomoyo had a small smile.
"…So that's why you're so happy today?" She asked.
"well….I still don't know, but it felt better, he's a really good friend," she said with a smile.
"I haven't seen you so happy since Syaoran," she said the last part "syaoran" in a whisper, Sakura ignored the last part, maybe because she didn't hear it.
"…Sakura-chan…I know he's a good friend and stuff, and don't get me wrong, I think it's great, but….do you….have something more than friendship for Sukito-kun?" She asked softly. Sakura stopped in silence.
"….I..I don't know," she said, truthfully. Tomoyo smiled a little.
" I'm not saying you should stick with one person forever, but…what about Li-kun?" she asked.
"huh? Sukito? I don't know how he thinks, I'm not even sticking to him!" she said lightly. Tomoyo stared at her for a second.
"..Sakura-chan..i wasn't referring to Sukito Lee, I was referring to Syaoran-kun," she said quietly. Sakura blinked.
"oh…" she muttered. Tomoyo gave a small sigh and took her seat. Sakura frowned. What's wrong? But she just took her seat and continued on the day. '
Sakura walked down the hallways, suddenly somebody bumped into her and she dropped all her books. The student muttered an apology and hurried on to class.
"How rude," sakura muttered, as she bent down do gather her books. Suddenly a hand picked up her pencil case on the floor and held it out to her.
"Arigato-," she said, and realized who it was. Lang Kisuri. She took a few steps back. He showed no emotion, and passed by her. It felt as though something wasn't right, but she couldn't get a grip on it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura walked down the street home, suddenly she felt the magical presence again. She turned around and there, stood Kisuri. Sakura was shocked, and slowly took a few steps back.
"What do you want with me?!" She cried. She didn't get an answer, she quickly turned around and ran as fast as she could. She turned around the corner and bumped into something. She looked up and there he stood.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Sakura almost yelled at him. She saw a smirk, and gulped.
"you're aura is strong, I want to challenge you to a match," he said.
"A match? I never did a match before! Besides, why would I agree to something like that?" She said.
"It's simple, and do you love the owner of this body?" He asked. Sakura was taken back.
"what does that have to do with anything?" She asked.
"well, if you win me, then I'll return this body to him," he said casually. Sakura gasped.
"does that mean, you'll agree?" he asked impatiently. Sakura slowly took off her bag and called out her wand.
"What am I suppose to do?" She said.
"Simple, beat me," he said. Sakura was about to ask How, when he called out a strange looking wand of his own. He chanted something in Chinese, and it turned into a sword. Sakura called out her sword card and hers, too, became a sword. He threw shots at her, she blocked them easily.
"You're not as good as you made it sound," she said. He ignored her. The fight went on. Kisuri's eyes blazed.
"alright…I'll give you something," he whispered, as he swung a hard blow at her. Sakura almost hit, ducked enough, the blade was 2 cm away from her head. He swung harder, faster, and more accurate as it got along. Sakura, with a cut on her right shoulder was already too weak for anymore. His sword was inches away from her throat as it stayed it there. Sakura gulped.
"I thought you were stronger, why are you so weak, you were weaker than before," He said.
"before? What are you talking about? Kero-chan told me my magic increased," she muttered, gritting her teeth. He retrieved his sword.
"fine, magic? Let's do it that way then," he said, Sakura got up a bit and winced at her wound. He chanted something softly and some form of energy surrounded her wounds and it healed. Sakura's eyes widened.
"why did you do that?" She asked.
"Because I fight fair," he said. He chanted something again, this time nothing happened for a while. Sakura blinked as she looked around. Suddenly she noticed everything around her was slowly disappearing. She took a few steps back. He must have put a spell or something.
"Stop it, and you win this round, lose this round and I will keep this body forever," he said. Sakura gasped. What would she do? What card could help her? Kisuri watched as Sakura panicked. Sakura pulled out her Time card and let everything stop.
"You can't hold that up for long," he stated. Sakura glared at him. She suddenly realized that the magic was controlled by his thoughts, as she saw his lips moving slightly, as if he was talking to it. If I attack him, then he might not be able to control it with his mind off of it… she thought suddenly. She drew out her jump card and appeared behind him, pulling out her sword card.
"If you attack me, then, it's the body that will be hurt, you sure you want to hurt it?" he said calmly, obviously knowing what Sakura was attempting at. Sakura hesitated a bit, but she continued to get throw shots at him. His eyes widened a bit and then narrowed. She could glimpse a slight pain in his eyes, but she didn't think of anything else. As she was about to pull her sword on him, he held up a hand, and Sakura paralyzed. Everything around her was normal again. Sakura, still paralyzed, tried to free herself.
"what are you fighting for? I don't think it really was the point I was trying to prove, forget it, this is completely pointless, the way you fight," he said, and chanted something, Sakura was freed, and he was gone. Sakura blinked confusedly, but picked up her stuff and went home.
You've lost this round in my heart the moment you pulled out that sword, I'm disappointed in you…Sakura.
