Chapter Title: Yuki the Druid Priest
A/N: Sorry I wasn't here for a while. I've been busy, I promise to update. It took me a while to think of this plot. So please Reveiw. Sorry it took so long. I had a writers block so big that I finally gave up. But it came back after a few new books I've read. ^-^ Gomen nasai~! S and S forever! R and R please!
Sakura moaned as she got up, her head felt like it had been hit with a boulder... Fighting the stiffness in her arms, Sakura got up and rubbed her head. "Where am I?" Her voice sounded hoarse. "Sakura-chan!" A voice cried out. Tomoyo hugged her friend, her amryst eyes filled with relief and happiness. "You're back in the world of the living!" Sakura grinned, her head pounded like a drum with an uneven beat. "The vampire..." Sakura whispered, her eyes became large and luminous as she remebered what had happened the night before.
'I have defeated you angel...'
She knew she heard those words from his mouth... He had done something strange, he had touched her holy symbol, which represented that she was the mistress of the cards... and she had suddenly blacked out. Why?
"Sakura!" A voice cried out urgently. Sakura slowly, yet painfully turned around and met another pair of darker violet eyes, covered by large glasses. Eriol grabbed Sakura's arm and shook her. "Promise me you'll never go out by yourself again!" Sakura could'nt say anything, instead she played with the hem of her sleeve, biting her lips. "Eriol?" She asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Yes Sakura-chan?" Sakura took in a deep breathe. "Why did my symbol... from my magic dissappear when he... the vampire... touched it?" Eriol looked sternly at Sakura, his eyes held hers for what seemed like enternity before he spoke, his eyes averted.
"He... he created something with his magic, like a tracking device... but we still do not know all the arts of the dark ones." Sakura touched her forehead. She winced as her head suddenly felt sore. "What... what are we going to do Eriol? The vampire is hungry... he almost drank of my blood last time..." Eriol looked up, his eyes dark and brooding. "But he didn't... he didn't... he had some strange connection with you.... a vampire is never merciful to its victims... especially when its hungry..." Eriol looked up at Sakura. "Maybe, through you Sakura, we can destroy this Wolf vampire together." Sakura straightened her back as she sat upright in her bed. "Wha... what are you implying Eriol-kun?"
"That we use you as bait... he has an interest in you Sakura, even you must've felt it in your bones..."
Sakura's heart stilled for the breifst second as she remebered the look in the vampires blood brown eyes... It was a strange look of hope, of disbelief... and sudden joy... A strange mix of emotions for the damned souls... But she had also remebered those eyes... they flickered as if he had realized something, and she had seen great sorrow and anger in those wild dark eyes before she had blacked out... what was it? Was this damned soul trying to tell her something?
The dark haired vampire paced about his room. His eyes were dark and brooding. 'It has to be her...' Syaoran thought, he grimaced in pain as he held his blistering fingers to his chest. He had touched the holy symbol on her forehead, to taint some of her magic with his, to make it so he could feel her presence... But her magic drew away from him and tried to burn his skin. Instead, it blistered his slender fingers. He cursed as he stopped pacing. "Damn you stupid druid preist!" He swore outloud. Why had this preist done this to him? He had destroyed his happiness... and now this preist had to seperate him and his loved one for ever! What a curse! No tears fell from his eyes, yet his eyes darkened in sorrow. A dry sob escaped his throat, though no tears fell. He was cursed... He was seperated from... No... A sudden thought struck him. "The druid preist lives for a long period of time... only he can reverse this spell." Growling like a savage animal. Syaoran slammed his window open, his lips curled up in a snarl, his eyes unearthly. He had some work to do. A lone dark figure in the night, giving off a nameless authority, dissappeared towards the midnight sky.
Sakura combed her brown hair and braided it against her crown, making a wreath about her head made from her long curly adburn locks. She hummed a tune and she worked her ivory hairbrush against her hair which she had let down, trail down and sweep her mass amount of locks into a shining almost golden reddish brown. She hummed as she changed into her simple garb made from simple green cotton. She wuickly tied a starchy white apron about her waist and tied up the hair which trailed down her back, into a fancy bun and managed to hide her massive amount of hair under a starchy white cap. Two loose straight peices of hair framed her face as she wrapped a brown shawl about herself. She was to meet Eriol at his large elegant home. She wanted to look as nice as possible. Smiling as she splashed some cool water on her face and washed her small nimble hands, she thought about the adventures she had when she was a rookie with magic. Eriol had saved her from countless dangers. The one most memoriable one was when she was about to get swallowed by the sand beast, and he came to save her, a staff in one hand, his eyes dark with anger, not at her, but at the creature trying to destroy her. She remebered his warm soft hands lifting her from the ground as he brushed her stray strands of hair away from her face. Gently smoothing her cheek gently, Eriol had asked, "Are you ok?" His voice was dark and warm. Sakura started to blush madly at the thought of him. Flustered, she tripped over the basket which she had placed on the floor and landed headlong towards the floor. She managed to just barely catch herself. Her breathe came in gasps. She touched her red cheeks gently and looked at the floor demurely as she grabbed the overturned basket and gently skipped downstairs.
A silver haired man with large spectacles and a handsome fair face stood in front of a large ancient desk. Piles of yellowed books lay atop his wooden furniture as he rummaged through them. His silver embroided off white robes made his look like an angel in the middle of total darkness. His room had barely no light, except for a small silver bauble which lit part of the room, bathing everything in a soft silver light. The young face had large dark brown eyes which looked wiser for someone his age. He flipped through the book, his slender fingers coming to a ripped page which he fingered gently. His eyes narrowed slightly as he whispered some ancient prayer against evil as he shut the book gently. Sighing deeply, he closed his eyes and leaned backwards, slightly on his wooden stool, he clasped his two hands together as if in prayer and made a gesture of thanks to the forest spirit. He opened his eyes slowly, and met two red brown crimson ones which glared at him darkly and was nearly mad with a strange turbulent rage. The power of the dark radiated from this creature. The silver haired fellow lept up in surprise and stared up at the figure before him, his gentle brown eyes become as hard as amber as he recognized the creature before him. "Its you... again."
Eriol opened the tall majestic doors to his adobe, humble, but it clearly marked his prestige. "Sakura-chan, come one in." Sakura nodded, slightly blushing as she hid her face from him with her veil. She noticed another pair of shoes at the doorway. It was velvet slippers, purple and had the unmistakable symbol of the royal daiijabou family's markings. The Dove holding a long vine of grapes... A twinge of envy and dispair reberverated throughout her as she followed Eriol silently. Why was Tomoyo getting so much attention from Eriol? She loved him not... not.. Tomyo! Then dispair, the dispair of asking herself why she should be jelouse... It was her lifelong best friend who liked him anyways... Sakuras train of thought was cut off as Eriol suddenly stopped in front of his living room. "Tomoyo is already here." "Yes I know." Sakura replied, a tint of bitterness and sweet longing tinted her voice. Sakura bit her lips and mentally slapped herself for letting out some of the jelousy as Eriol eyed her strangely. "Ah, Sakura, you are observant. Come come. We shall talk over this with tea. Tomoyo is waiting."
"Sakura!" Tomyo's cheerful voice greeted her as Sakura walked in. Sakura jelousy dissappeared as quickly as it had come. She had no reason to be jelouse, this was her friend, she should be happy for her friend... Tomoyo had done much more for her then anyone had ever had... anyone... Sakura's face brightened into a large bright smile. "Oy, Hello Tomoyo, I see you are here already!" Sakura situated herself across the table and smiled sadly as Eriol sat down next to Tomoyo, his purple eyes avid with interest. But Tomoyo's violet eyes were on her. "Sakura? You ok?" Sakura nodded, her face forced a smile as she sighed inwardly. "Hai, what makes you thin something is the matter?" Tomoyo smiled crookedly, her eyes softening. "Oh... Ok." Tomoyo fingered her golden tassle at the end of her purpule velvet cap which sat on top of her dark violet hair. "Sakura... Eriol and I have been thinking..." Sakura looked at Tomoyo, a pained expression came over her face and was soon replaced with a slight grin. "We can lure the vampire by letting you go somewhere in the dark, alone, and me and Eriol will be cloaked with his invisibility spell." "Wha..." Sakura croaked, she was scared. Eriol looked at her, his eyes gentle. "Sakura, we need you, we need your courage, the town is counting on you." No words escaped her mouth, but Sakura nodded, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"YOU destroyed her..." Syaoran growled like a savage, his eyes turning blood red in the dimly lit room. It nearly glowed with a flouresent light. The druid priest rose a hand. "No, I didn't, I store away her soul and released it where I thought you would'nt be able to reach her. You nearly destroyed the poor thing." "DESTROYED!" Syaoran howled, a strange wind blew across the room. "YOU KILLED HER! SHE HAS NO MEMORY OF ME AT ALL!" His howl ended in a painful whimper which became a slight growl as he stared at the priest, his eyes large and dangerous. "Tell me how to reverse the effects of the spell you put on her..." Syaorans face looked rather wolfish in the dim light, his sharp fangs glistening. "Tell me how to make her remeber me again!" The priest smiled rather serenely. "She won't remeber, I tore the page and burned it in the ashes... but I see my enternal sleep spell has not worked." The priest continued rather cooly. "Of course, an enternity for a vampire is lonly a few long years... since vampires are immortal, pity that I forgot that..." The priest eyed Syaoran, who started looking through his spell book in a furious frenzy and came across a ripped page.
"You cannot stop it... vampire... she will forget you, the spell I put on her will make her destroy you."
Syaoran looked up, his eyes dark and empty, like the shell of a soul he was. "The spells reversal... You destroyed it... DAMN YOU STUPID DRUID PRIEST!" The priest smiled as the vampire advanced upon him. "Destroy me if you want, but I die in peace, knowing you will not destroy the angel who has been sent down to put this world in peace once more." Syaoran grinned slightly. "You forgot... I know your true name, Yuki... Its Yue isn't it?" The preist looked startled and jumped up, his eyes narrowing. "What do you mean?" Syaoran laughed a low laugh. "With your true name at my hand... I can do things that dark people can do, as I know Sakura's real name, and yours... I'll haunt your shadow with every step you take... I'll be there..." He rose a hand. "Too bad you can't do that to me, without a soul, no one can have a true name, isn't it so? Till next time... I still need you Druid Priest... Not yet... but my revenge will be sweet, and my angel will be back in my arms... my love..." The vampire vanished just as quickly as it came. Yuki, who had concealed his fright with much dignity, suddenly fell onto his knees, trembling, his lips white... 'No...' Yuki wanted to scream.
Sakura shuddered as she walked across the dark paths of the haunted woods. Bringing her black shawl up to her face, she hurried down the path, hoping that the vampire would not appear at all tonight. Her large emrald green eyes reflected the moons white rays as she surveyed the scene around her. The Haunted Woods were known to have many mysterious creatures within it. She didn't know half of the dangers. She crossed her fingers and hoped she would not meet any of the creatures around there. "Eriol? Tomoyo?" Sakura whispered, "Are you there?" There was a muffled 'Yes', and Sakura continued on her way. She bit her lips as she heard the rustle of something in the woods. She freverently hoped it was only Eriol and Tomoyo. Sakura curved sharply down the hill, the path was steep, and it made her trip and fall down the rocky hill. The forest was as silent as death, and was as dark as pitch. Only the moon was able to be seen, the stars were hidden from Sakura's veiw. The gnarled and knotted branches closed in around her, the trees dark rough trunk seemed to groan in agony as they wind blew chillingly in the woods. Sakura shivered and got up. She limped slowly towards a tree and rested her forehead against it. A warm trickle ran down her leg. Sakura gasped in pain as she looked down at her leg. Her stocking was stained crimson in her blood, and a large gash mangled her stocking. Sakura tripped about dizzily, wishing with a frenzy that this was only a dream. She clutched her cards to her side. The cards were her only protection. "Eriol? Tomoyo?" Sakura whispered. She heard nothing. Getting a bit frightened, she called out loudly. "Eriol? Tomoyo?" There was still no answer, the only answer she got was the dark suffocating silence the woods provided. Fear over took her, making her limbs quiver like jelly, her eyes darted about, a cold sweat broke out as she heard a crackling of leaves. "Eriol? Tomoyo?" She called yet again, hopefully. Her answer was a deep growl.
Yuki sat down among his books, his eyes concentrated on the missing page. 'He knows my true name... he might know my true form as well.' Yuki sighed as he streched as he got up. His eyes were slightly wet as he one scene replayed in his head over and over again...
'Yuki... I never loved you, I can never love you... Look what you did to him! I love Him! Please! Let him go!'
That voice, sweet and gentle... a sudden fury had made him turn to the damned creature and throw the last deadly spell at the creature. A peircing shriek had filled the room as green eyes, instead of those red brown ones, stared at him in disbelief. That damned girl had jumped in front of his target, and she was holding her bleeding bosom with her two small hands, a look of horror, mortification, and disbelief clouding them. Her breathe turned raspy as she collapsed onto the floor... The howl of the damned broke through the night, Yuki only turned to the weeping creature with a merciless gaze, and the gaze was returned with equal intensity...
Sakura froze in terror as she heard the growl again, a bit softer this time. Shaking, she looked around, her voice trembling. "W-w-who's there?" She was answered by a pair of golden eyes. "KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura shrieked.
Syaoran knelt down by the forest entrance. She had been here. He smelled her scent hanging in the air. He rose his nose into the air and sniffed. There was two other people with her, and one scent he could'nt indentify. His sharp ears caught a sound. A scream.
Eriol and Tomoyo broke apart from each other and tried their best to untangle themselves from the brambles. "How'd we get here in the first place?" Tomoyo grumbled as she tried to pry the brambles branches away from her velvet dress. Eriol grimaced as a bramble cut into his leg. "Here, let me get some light here, its too dark..." He withdrew his hand and took out a small white crystal. "Light." The words brought forth a light so bright that Tomoyo winced as the light nearly blinded her. "Can you tone it down a bit?" Tomoyo sighed as the light dimmed slightly. Eriol looked around and cursed. They had stumbled in a large mess. He had no idea how they got here... they had been following Sakura and...
The bramble seemed to groan underneath their weight.
Eriol was brought out from his thoughts as he looked down. "Tomoyo..." He whispered, his throat tight with apprehension. "Nani?" Eriol took a deep breathe. "I'll give you my dagger, and help me slash my way out of this mess, be careful, I'm not entirely sure how we got--" Tomyo ignored him, she saw a pretty purple flower near her left arm. It was pretty.... So pretty. It had silver sprinkles all over it, making it glow in a strange silver light. It looked delicate in the light which shone from Eriols hand. 'I must have it!' Tomoyo thought eagerly. She reached forward and grabbed at it. The flower dissppeared back into its bud as quickly as it had come. The Brambles started to move around her, it thrusted her away from the flower and threw her into the air. A scream escaped from her throat as Eriol looked managed to get out of the bramble. "TOMOYO!"
"Sakura!" Sakura opened one eye and sighed with relief. "Kero?" Kero fluttered above her looking irritated. "I was looking for you, where were you? Your father was so worried! And Eriol told me--." Sakura looked confuzed. "What was that growling then... if you were'nt the--." Kero turned a lovely shade of red. "Um... I... um... my stomache." Sakura sighed with relief and started to laugh. She stopped and hugged Kero, but her facial expression changed to one of terror when her laughter echoed eerily back to her. Kero let out a strangeled gasp as a strange white figure moved slowly toward them from the dark trees. The white figure sounded as if it was sobbing and weeping. It came closer and closer. Sakura felt cold all over and petrified as she started to feel dizzy. "YOUR CARDS SAKURA!" Kero yelled out. Sakura gaspe and covered his mouth. The white figure looked over at them with its white blank eyes and sobbed as it reached a hand toward them. "Issh la vaithan no yalath..." It voiced, its voice sounding eerie and cold as it glided toward them. Sakura withdrew her cards, but it touched her arm before she was able to call upon it. A cold feeling overcame her as she heard the sobbing from not far off. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she stumbled over her dress. "SAKURA!"
Syaoran swiftly moved about the trees. All the creaures of the dark avoided him, for he was the master of the darkness. He dodged the branched and came across to the place where Sakura's scent lingered the most. His eyes widened as sudden fear overcame him. It was the white lady of the forest, and it came to claim Sakuras soul as her own... Syaoran felt an inhumane growl crawl up his throat as he crept forward like a wolf upon its prey. They will not take her again.
To be continued....

I had a writers block so big that I finally gave up. But it came back after a few new books I've read. ^-^ Gomen nasai~! S and S forever! R and R please!
Sakura moaned as she got up, her head felt like it had been hit with a boulder... Fighting the stiffness in her arms, Sakura got up and rubbed her head. "Where am I?" Her voice sounded hoarse. "Sakura-chan!" A voice cried out. Tomoyo hugged her friend, her amryst eyes filled with relief and happiness. "You're back in the world of the living!"

'I have defeated you angel...'
She knew she heard those words from his mouth... He had done something strange, he had touched her holy symbol, which represented that she was the mistress of the cards... and she had suddenly blacked out. Why?
"Sakura!" A voice cried out urgently. Sakura slowly, yet painfully turned around and met another pair of darker violet eyes, covered by large glasses. Eriol grabbed Sakura's arm and shook her. "Promise me you'll never go out by yourself again!" Sakura could'nt say anything, instead she played with the hem of her sleeve, biting her lips. "Eriol?" She asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Yes Sakura-chan?" Sakura took in a deep breathe. "Why did my symbol... from my magic dissappear when he... the vampire... touched it?" Eriol looked sternly at Sakura, his eyes held hers for what seemed like enternity before he spoke, his eyes averted.
"He... he created something with his magic, like a tracking device... but we still do not know all the arts of the dark ones." Sakura touched her forehead. She winced as her head suddenly felt sore.

Was this damned soul trying to tell her something?
The dark haired vampire paced about his room. His eyes were dark and brooding. 'It has to be her...' Syaoran thought, he grimaced in pain as he held his blistering fingers to his chest. He had touched the holy symbol on her forehead, to taint some of her magic with his, to make it so he could feel her presence... But her magic drew away from him and tried to burn his skin. Instead, it blistered his slender fingers. He cursed as he stopped pacing. "Damn you stupid druid preist!" He swore outloud. Why had this preist done this to him? He had destroyed his happiness... and now this preist had to seperate him and his loved one for ever! What a curse! No tears fell from his eyes, yet his eyes darkened in sorrow.

"The druid preist lives for a long period of time... only he can reverse this spell." Growling like a savage animal. Syaoran slammed his window open, his lips curled up in a snarl, his eyes unearthly. He had some work to do. A lone dark figure in the night, giving off a nameless authority, dissappeared towards the midnight sky.
Sakura combed her brown hair and braided it against her crown, making a wreath about her head made from her long curly adburn locks. She hummed a tune and she worked her ivory hairbrush against her hair which she had let down, trail down and sweep her mass amount of locks into a shining almost golden reddish brown.

She managed to just barely catch herself. Her breathe came in gasps. She touched her red cheeks gently and looked at the floor demurely as she grabbed the overturned basket and gently skipped downstairs.
A silver haired man with large spectacles and a handsome fair face stood in front of a large ancient desk. Piles of yellowed books lay atop his wooden furniture as he rummaged through them. His silver embroided off white robes made his look like an angel in the middle of total darkness. His room had barely no light, except for a small silver bauble which lit part of the room, bathing everything in a soft silver light. The young face had large dark brown eyes which looked wiser for someone his age. He flipped through the book, his slender fingers coming to a ripped page which he fingered gently. His eyes narrowed slightly as he whispered some ancient prayer against evil as he shut the book gently. Sighing deeply, he closed his eyes and leaned backwards, slightly on his wooden stool, he clasped his two hands together as if in prayer and made a gesture of thanks to the forest spirit. He opened his eyes slowly, and met two red brown crimson ones which glared at him darkly and was nearly mad with a strange turbulent rage. The power of the dark radiated from this creature. The silver haired fellow lept up in surprise and stared up at the figure before him, his gentle brown eyes become as hard as amber as he recognized the creature before him. "Its you... again."
Eriol opened the tall majestic doors to his adobe, humble, but it clearly marked his prestige. "Sakura-chan, come one in." Sakura nodded, slightly blushing as she hid her face from him with her veil. She noticed another pair of shoes at the doorway. It was velvet slippers, purple and had the unmistakable symbol of the royal daiijabou family's markings. The Dove holding a long vine of grapes... A twinge of envy and dispair reberverated throughout her as she followed Eriol silently. Why was Tomoyo getting so much attention from Eriol? She loved him not... not.. Tomyo! Then dispair, the dispair of asking herself why she should be jelouse... It was her lifelong best friend who liked him anyways... Sakuras train of thought was cut off as Eriol suddenly stopped in front of his living room. "Tomoyo is already here." "Yes I know." Sakura replied, a tint of bitterness and sweet longing tinted her voice. Sakura bit her lips and mentally slapped herself for letting out some of the jelousy as Eriol eyed her strangely. "Ah, Sakura, you are observant. Come come. We shall talk over this with tea. Tomoyo is waiting."
"Sakura!" Tomyo's cheerful voice greeted her as Sakura walked in. Sakura jelousy dissappeared as quickly as it had come. She had no reason to be jelouse, this was her friend, she should be happy for her friend... Tomoyo had done much more for her then anyone had ever had... anyone... Sakura's face brightened into a large bright smile. "Oy, Hello Tomoyo, I see you are here already!" Sakura situated herself across the table and smiled sadly as Eriol sat down next to Tomoyo, his purple eyes avid with interest. But Tomoyo's violet eyes were on her. "Sakura? You ok?" Sakura nodded, her face forced a smile as she sighed inwardly. "Hai, what makes you thin something is the matter?" Tomoyo smiled crookedly, her eyes softening. "Oh... Ok." Tomoyo fingered her golden tassle at the end of her purpule velvet cap which sat on top of her dark violet hair. "Sakura... Eriol and I have been thinking..." Sakura looked at Tomoyo, a pained expression came over her face and was soon replaced with a slight grin. "We can lure the vampire by letting you go somewhere in the dark, alone, and me and Eriol will be cloaked with his invisibility spell." "Wha..." Sakura croaked, she was scared. Eriol looked at her, his eyes gentle. "Sakura, we need you, we need your courage, the town is counting on you." No words escaped her mouth, but Sakura nodded, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"YOU destroyed her..." Syaoran growled like a savage, his eyes turning blood red in the dimly lit room. It nearly glowed with a flouresent light. The druid priest rose a hand. "No, I didn't, I store away her soul and released it where I thought you would'nt be able to reach her. You nearly destroyed the poor thing." "DESTROYED!" Syaoran howled, a strange wind blew across the room. "YOU KILLED HER! SHE HAS NO MEMORY OF ME AT ALL!" His howl ended in a painful whimper which became a slight growl as he stared at the priest, his eyes large and dangerous. "Tell me how to reverse the effects of the spell you put on her..." Syaorans face looked rather wolfish in the dim light, his sharp fangs glistening. "Tell me how to make her remeber me again!" The priest smiled rather serenely. "She won't remeber, I tore the page and burned it in the ashes... but I see my enternal sleep spell has not worked." The priest continued rather cooly. "Of course, an enternity for a vampire is lonly a few long years... since vampires are immortal, pity that I forgot that..." The priest eyed Syaoran, who started looking through his spell book in a furious frenzy and came across a ripped page.
"You cannot stop it... vampire... she will forget you, the spell I put on her will make her destroy you."
Syaoran looked up, his eyes dark and empty, like the shell of a soul he was. "The spells reversal... You destroyed it... DAMN YOU STUPID DRUID PRIEST!" The priest smiled as the vampire advanced upon him. "Destroy me if you want, but I die in peace, knowing you will not destroy the angel who has been sent down to put this world in peace once more." Syaoran grinned slightly. "You forgot... I know your true name, Yuki... Its Yue isn't it?" The preist looked startled and jumped up, his eyes narrowing. "What do you mean?" Syaoran laughed a low laugh. "With your true name at my hand... I can do things that dark people can do, as I know Sakura's real name, and yours... I'll haunt your shadow with every step you take... I'll be there..." He rose a hand. "Too bad you can't do that to me, without a soul, no one can have a true name, isn't it so? Till next time... I still need you Druid Priest... Not yet... but my revenge will be sweet, and my angel will be back in my arms... my love..." The vampire vanished just as quickly as it came. Yuki, who had concealed his fright with much dignity, suddenly fell onto his knees, trembling, his lips white... 'No...' Yuki wanted to scream.
Sakura shuddered as she walked across the dark paths of the haunted woods. Bringing her black shawl up to her face, she hurried down the path, hoping that the vampire would not appear at all tonight. Her large emrald green eyes reflected the moons white rays as she surveyed the scene around her. The Haunted Woods were known to have many mysterious creatures within it.

Sakura curved sharply down the hill, the path was steep, and it made her trip and fall down the rocky hill. The forest was as silent as death, and was as dark as pitch. Only the moon was able to be seen, the stars were hidden from Sakura's veiw. The gnarled and knotted branches closed in around her, the trees dark rough trunk seemed to groan in agony as they wind blew chillingly in the woods. Sakura shivered and got up. She limped slowly towards a tree and rested her forehead against it. A warm trickle ran down her leg. Sakura gasped in pain as she looked down at her leg. Her stocking was stained crimson in her blood, and a large gash mangled her stocking. Sakura tripped about dizzily, wishing with a frenzy that this was only a dream.

Fear over took her, making her limbs quiver like jelly, her eyes darted about, a cold sweat broke out as she heard a crackling of leaves. "Eriol? Tomoyo?" She called yet again, hopefully. Her answer was a deep growl.
Yuki sat down among his books, his eyes concentrated on the missing page. 'He knows my true name... he might know my true form as well.' Yuki sighed as he streched as he got up. His eyes were slightly wet as he one scene replayed in his head over and over again...
'Yuki... I never loved you, I can never love you... Look what you did to him! I love Him! Please! Let him go!'
That voice, sweet and gentle... a sudden fury had made him turn to the damned creature and throw the last deadly spell at the creature. A peircing shriek had filled the room as green eyes, instead of those red brown ones, stared at him in disbelief. That damned girl had jumped in front of his target, and she was holding her bleeding bosom with her two small hands, a look of horror, mortification, and disbelief clouding them. Her breathe turned raspy as she collapsed onto the floor... The howl of the damned broke through the night, Yuki only turned to the weeping creature with a merciless gaze, and the gaze was returned with equal intensity...
Sakura froze in terror as she heard the growl again, a bit softer this time. Shaking, she looked around, her voice trembling. "W-w-who's there?" She was answered by a pair of golden eyes. "KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura shrieked.
Syaoran knelt down by the forest entrance. She had been here. He smelled her scent hanging in the air. He rose his nose into the air and sniffed. There was two other people with her, and one scent he could'nt indentify. His sharp ears caught a sound. A scream.
Eriol and Tomoyo broke apart from each other and tried their best to untangle themselves from the brambles. "How'd we get here in the first place?" Tomoyo grumbled as she tried to pry the brambles branches away from her velvet dress. Eriol grimaced as a bramble cut into his leg. "Here, let me get some light here, its too dark..." He withdrew his hand and took out a small white crystal. "Light." The words brought forth a light so bright that Tomoyo winced as the light nearly blinded her. "Can you tone it down a bit?" Tomoyo sighed as the light dimmed slightly. Eriol looked around and cursed. They had stumbled in a large mess. He had no idea how they got here... they had been following Sakura and...
The bramble seemed to groan underneath their weight.
Eriol was brought out from his thoughts as he looked down. "Tomoyo..." He whispered, his throat tight with apprehension. "Nani?" Eriol took a deep breathe. "I'll give you my dagger, and help me slash my way out of this mess, be careful, I'm not entirely sure how we got--" Tomyo ignored him, she saw a pretty purple flower near her left arm. It was pretty.... So pretty. It had silver sprinkles all over it, making it glow in a strange silver light. It looked delicate in the light which shone from Eriols hand. 'I must have it!' Tomoyo thought eagerly. She reached forward and grabbed at it. The flower dissppeared back into its bud as quickly as it had come. The Brambles started to move around her, it thrusted her away from the flower and threw her into the air. A scream escaped from her throat as Eriol looked managed to get out of the bramble. "TOMOYO!"
"Sakura!" Sakura opened one eye and sighed with relief. "Kero?" Kero fluttered above her looking irritated. "I was looking for you, where were you? Your father was so worried! And Eriol told me--." Sakura looked confuzed. "What was that growling then... if you were'nt the--." Kero turned a lovely shade of red. "Um... I... um... my stomache." Sakura sighed with relief and started to laugh. She stopped and hugged Kero, but her facial expression changed to one of terror when her laughter echoed eerily back to her. Kero let out a strangeled gasp as a strange white figure moved slowly toward them from the dark trees. The white figure sounded as if it was sobbing and weeping. It came closer and closer. Sakura felt cold all over and petrified as she started to feel dizzy. "YOUR CARDS SAKURA!" Kero yelled out. Sakura gaspe and covered his mouth. The white figure looked over at them with its white blank eyes and sobbed as it reached a hand toward them. "Issh la vaithan no yalath..." It voiced, its voice sounding eerie and cold as it glided toward them. Sakura withdrew her cards, but it touched her arm before she was able to call upon it. A cold feeling overcame her as she heard the sobbing from not far off. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she stumbled over her dress. "SAKURA!"
Syaoran swiftly moved about the trees. All the creaures of the dark avoided him, for he was the master of the darkness. He dodged the branched and came across to the place where Sakura's scent lingered the most. His eyes widened as sudden fear overcame him. It was the white lady of the forest, and it came to claim Sakuras soul as her own... Syaoran felt an inhumane growl crawl up his throat as he crept forward like a wolf upon its prey. They will not take her again.
