Chapter 5: "Confrontations"
Disclaimer: I DUNT OWN IT!
*~*You are mine, as I am yours, you have a soul, but you can't find it...*~*
A sudden snarling filled the air, as at last, Kero, who had been bravely trying to fend off the ghost, fell down into a strange faint. A creature with glowing brownish red eyes stalked closer and closer towards the ghost. The ghost looked up, its eyes blank and staring. "You won't take her." the creature crawling on fours growled, he got up slowly as he faced the white ghost. It frowned, 'I have given you shelter and a home from the destroying mortals, this creature here will only destroy you, she is one of the light magicians...' she asked through her mindless connection with him. Syaoran snarled in reply. "But she is mine." The forest lady glared at him. 'Will you dare betray the darklings again? After you had murdered your master, you tried to take in a fallen angel, your duty was to destroy her before she destroys us!' Syaoran suddenly looked tenderly down at the unconcious figure. "She saved me." He replied, he smiled rather pointy grin at the vampire. "Let her go or I'll tear your ghostly higness apart." The ghosts nostrils flared and her eyes grew wide and red. 'I smell betrayal... Never must you seek safety from my forest darkling! Or you shall pay with your own life!'
Eriol watched helplessly as Tomoyo twisted in the air and landed in the brambles... something wasn't right. The brambles twisted with life and it seemed to swallow Tomoyo... her scream shattered his stupified moment. "TOMOYO!" Using his magic he made a thread of a rope and threw it at his friend. Desperatly she clung on the glowing gold rope of magic. But a darker magic cut his magic off, and Tomoyo screamed again as the Bramble's thorns started to gnaw at her. Blood, crimson and wet dribbled down the brambles as Tomoyo screamed in agony. "NO!" Eriol threw himself at the bramble, his firey magic bursted about him and the wet dribbling of blood stopped and the brambles squealed in a strange voice in agony. Tomoyo, who had falled unconcious as the bramble proceeded to eat her alive, flew into Eriols arms. Her legs were covered in blood, and her flesh was partially gnawed off by the thorns. 'I'm sorry Sakura...' Eriol thought, 'I can't stay here with Tomoyo like this... I'll come back as soon as I can... I know you can do this on your own...' Eriol brought up his hand in a transporting spell, and dissappeared.
Sakura opened her eyes groggily, she felt so cold... so very cold... Her lips had turned blue and her teeth was chattering away. Kero lay beside her. She sobbed as she held Kero in her arms, her loyal gaurdian... at leat he was alive, she could see that from the faint breathing Kero gave off. She stared, stupified, as the vampire which had killed so many stood before the ghost woman which had attacked her.
"You won't take her!"
She blinked, startled as the vampire circled around the ghost lady, as lithely as a predator. The ghost lady flared up with an ancient dark power and shot a dark blast at Syaoran. Syaoran dodged it, barely, but he brought out his hands. 'Is he going to use the transforming spell like last time?' Sakura wondered, but no... it was a diffrent spell.
"Darkness of the night, darkness of my soul... darkness within me... " He lept away as another blast nearly hit him. "Come to the master of darkness NOW!" A glaring red light surrounded Syaoran, Sakura sheilded her eyes with an arm and stared. He had transformed slightly, two large wings, crude and bony, yet visibly ones of a vampires, stood on his back, and the strange symbol of darkness was imprinted on his forehead. It glowed slightly red.
"HOW DARE YOU USE THE SPELL OF THE DARKLINGS BETRAYER!" The ghost lady spoke, her voice sounded like thunder and the creaking of trees.
Syaoran was not at the least peturbed as he stood there, he withdrew a large reddish sword, looking crooked and black, emerged from his left hand. He held it between his palms. "Let us fight with the weapon which destroyed most of who went against us... but the tide has changed." His voice became nothing but a low growl, his face became wolfish as he smiled a twisted smile. "I'm sorry my lady of darkness, though your graciousness has been merciful, I cannot allow you to kill her." The lady of the forest howled and the trees groaned and moved as if they were alive. Sakura got up quickly, cradling Kero near her heart. "Power of the ancient! POwer of the Earth and heavens! Protect me and aid me to rightousness!" The words startled the lady of the forest. "No! Ying fa don't!" the vampire cried out, his eyes wide, "You powers are weak against something so ancient and powerful!" Sakura ignored him, her wings sprouted from her back and a strange glow overtook her, her face gleamed gold and silver and her hands were in the position of prayer. The lady of the forest cried out, her eyes wide. "The fallen angel!" She cried out, her voice like thousand of wolves howling. Confused, Sakura stood there. "Ying fa? Fallen angel?" Sakura voiced in confusion. "I only take the image of the fallen angel, beacause she was the one who made these cards and this strange elements which were once used for darkness when they were created to destroy the dark!" The forest lady grinned. "Then, it should be easy!" Her hand lifted and she madde a sound like a sob, thousands of dark creatures, eyes gleaming red with hunger flew at her. Sakura put up a sheild of light, but the darkness was too great. They fell on her, smoldering her, ripping her flesh. Sakura screamed.
STUPID! Syaoran glared at the forest lady whos face gleamed with a certain type of evil. "Die!" Syaoran fell onto the forest lady, his sword drawn, black electricity raced about his sword as he fought the lady of the forest. "The very elements of my forest will turn against you..." She whispered her last dying words, her eyes closed as the sword peirced her bosom. Like the mist, her body dissipated and was gone. Syaoran panted and turned to the girl... "DEMON!" He called, a demon, a mere shadow in the forest, appeared in front of Syaoran, it bowed and nodded, its task known. It turned and swallowed up all the flying creatures. Syaoran walked toward the bleeding figure. She looked very much like his fallen angel. Her wings of silver white was torn and bleeding. "Ying fa..." he called gently.
Sakura looked up, that foriegn name sounded so familiar when the vampire ssaid it. She looked up fearfully. He smelled blood, would he not kill her now?
Syaoran saw her fear and smelled her blood, but it didn't matter, he had controlled his blood lust so long ago. He did not need it now. His angel was shivering, and weak... He gathered her up in his arms, she was so light.
Sakura was frozen as she held her sleeping gaurdian to her chest. "Let go... or I'll scream..." she said lowly. He barked a laugh. "Ying fa, do you not know? This forest will turn on you, only I can get you out of here safely." Indeed, there was a strange feeling in the forest, the forest creaked and groaned and strange footstep like sounds were everywhere. Syaoran spread his large bat wings and took flight, carrying the fainted angel in his arms.
Eriol cursed as he wrapped Tomoyos wounds, it was bleeding, and it wasn't a pretty sight. His spells of healing would not work, her skin was warped by the dark creatures saliva, the dark magic pushed his magic away. Instead, he had to wash and wrap her leg a the normal mortal way. Sakura's father looked down at them. "Where is Sakura? WHat happened to Tomoyo?" Eriol lied between his teeth, although it hurt him to lie to someone whom he cared about. "She went to her friends house, Tomoyo fell and injured herself." Sakuras father clucked his tounge in worry. "I'll bring more bandages." Tory stood next to Eriol, a frown on his face. "Where is she really?" He asked, leaning down and facing Eriol head on, Eriols eyes widened. "I can feel her pain and anguish, she is in trouble, but why do you not go to help her?" Eriol gulped. "I... I... How..." Tory leaned back. "I smell wetness... and blood... tell me..." Eriol stared at him, "You can smell what she smells?" "I can see what she see's, at times, smell, and hear, most of all, feel... I do have a bit of magic in me, if you should know." Tory leaned away. "Tell me." Eriol sighed, it was a helpless cause, Tory would go looking for his sister either way. "The Dark Forest."
Sakura woke from her deep slumber. She saw that her wings were gone, and that her wounds were wrapped in cloth. She moved slightly and came face to face with two dark eyes. "HOOOOOOOOOOE!" Sakura jumped back, her eyes wide with fear. "Its you! The wolf vampire!" He blinked slightly and sighed. "Its Syaoran... Syaoran Li." Sakura's ears perked. "What? Isn't that a mortal name?" Syaoran was silent as he stirred something in a pot in front of him. "Why did you save me?" Sakura asked, confusion evident in her voice. "......." She was answered with silence. "Please... tell me? I am thinking there is more to you then others know, you're not a killer at heart are you?" She stared at his non responsive back. "BAKA!" She yelled out angrily. The vampire turned to her quickly, his eyes alit with anger. "Don't call me that!" He snarled. Sakura shrunk back. "I can attack you..." She said weakly. "No you can't." was the cynical reply. Sakura remained silent, and noticed her gaurdian was locked up in a black cage. "Kero?" She crawled over to the cage, it was then she noticed she was in a cage. "Hoe!" She exclaimed. "Why am I here? Let me go!"
Syaoran didn't know what to say, he knew she didn't remeber him, she knew that she would kill him, eventually... but why? Why should he hold onto the past? His blood thirsty side told him she would taste good, her blood would be pure... but the other side told him he should'nt, he would never live it down. "Ying fa..." he whispered sadly, he remebered her green eyes, her long brown hair which sparkled and curled in such a dainty way about her face... His mouth started to get a foul taste as he remebered the one with red eyes, the one which made him become who he was. He snarled and threw the pot of stewed rabbit onto the wall, and howled in anger.
Sakura was startled as she heard the loud clang of a metal pot and his anguished howls. Kero was sleeping as if he was dead. She was alone with a crazed vampire. She shivered, yet something stirred in her heart as she watched the vampire break down into ragged dry sobs. She drew closer, until her face was nearly touching his back. Gently, she laid a hand on his shoulder. "Don't cry." It suprised her, vampires almost never cried like that. He snarled and threw her away from him. "Get away from me." He answered. "Get out! OUT!" A strange turmoil was going on within him, she could see it in his eyes, but scared that he was battling blood lust, she grabbed the black cage which contained Kero adn ran out towards the mouth of the cave.
'Shes not Ying fa... shes not Ying fa...' A chant started in his head, and his heart was pained as he saw the girl... who looked like his love, graciously look at him with pity... he didn't want that... he didn't want this look alike! But as she ran away, terror from her scenting the air, he felt a suddn feeling of loss. He stared at the ground and decided he needed to kill a cursed mortal, and headed towards the city.
Tory cursed as he made his way through the forest, at least it was broad daylight. The forest seemed to reach out and grab him, but stangely, Tory felt something crashing this way. "Sakura?" Then he saw her, his sister looked haggard and scared and she was sobbing as she reached her brother. "Brother!" She cried out and clutched onto him as she sobbed out her fears. "Shh... its ok... I'm here...." He would kill whoever did this to her.
Syaoran crouched, his anger making him hungrier. A thin woman, her face grubby and her eyes sad, walked past him, towards the dark alley. He followed, sensing her unawareness, he stood and called out, using his glamour spell to enchant her. "Woman? Are you ok? You look sad." The woman turned slowly, her eyes misty with the spell. "Oh mister, you would'nt know." Syaoran walked closer to her. "Really? What is it, tell it to this stranger." Her eyes flickered. He stopped walking towards her. "Shhh, you are scared, from what I see, you've been abused?" He observed the purplish marks about her neck and her face. The woman sighed sadly. "Yes, yes... how can others not see... I'd rather die then to live through this hell..." "I can help you with your pain..." He was suddenly in front of her, his fangs beared. Her mouth opened in a scream as she was suddenly released from the spell. But he was too quick, he choked her cry by giving her a blow to the neck, she fell back, gasping and choking, the last thing she saw was the flash of white teeth.
Yuki cried out, he watched this and snapped back into reality and he threw his crystal ball away from him. Such terror, such anger, he felt it radiating from the dark being. He had to destroy this creature, before it's anger becomes too great. He got up and packed his spell books, his silver hair fell in front of his eyes. Maybe he'll meet his angel as well.
Tomoyo awoke, a dull pain and ache throbbed on her legs, but was quickly dissppearing. Eriol looked up at her, his eyes wide with fright and relief. "You're ok right? No pain anywhere?" Tomoyo winced, "My legs... it hurts..." Eriol made a soothing sound. "Its ok, its not going to scar, I made a balm with milkweed and some other herbs to keep it from scarring." Tomoyo shook her head. "Where's Sakura?" Eriol paused, his eyes were closed. "In the dark forest... alone." Tomoyo looked frightened. "Sakura? ALONE!" Eriol shook his head, "Not quite... Tory went to go look for her." Tomoyo calmed down. "What was that? The plant that tried to eat me." Eriol looked up, "I'm not sure, did you see something that lured you to touch it?" Tomoyo squinted her eyes in concentration and nodded slowly. "A purple flower." she recalled. "Well, I'm still not sure what it was, its ok, calm down, I told you not to go after it." Tomoyo frowned. "How come you could'nt just heal me with your magic?" Eriol swallowed hard. "Its because... there was black magic repelling me from actually healing you." Tomoyo looked at Eriol quizzically. "Eriol? Why do you keep turning your face away? Is there something you need to tell me?" Eriol sighed. "I can't keep a secret from you can't I... Ok..." He recived a sharp glance from Tomoyo. "The dark magic... theres something strange about it... its making seedlings inside of you Tomoyo... the bramble planted something in you which I can't remove." Tomoyo started to tremble, her eyes wide she pushed Eriol away and unwrapped her bandages with a shaking hand. Her legs were marred by long gashes, red brown from oxidation... there was small black dots covering her leg... Her leg had started to grow bumps. Tomoyo gave out a strangled cry. Eriol laid a comforting hand on Tomoyo's shoulder. "Its ok... I think I can heal it, we will need Sakura help... I..." Tomoyo started to cry, tears formed as a dull thudding pain started to grow in her legs as the small black dots started to get bigger, as if swollen. "I want... Sakura... here now..." Tomoyo said slowly, her eyes never leaving her leg. "I don't know what this is... but I want it gone... now..." Tomoyo let out a hysterical laugh and started to cry, hanging her head miserably as she waited for Sakura to arrive.
