Author: Peonyqt1004
A.N: Thank you everyone for sticking with me. You too Fire_blade. ^^ I had a pretty large writers block with this one, this was the best I could get. R AND R! REVEIW!!! Oki Dok? Don't forget to read my other fanfic! S and S! Its "War Beat" ^^ Okie? Bye!
Tory held his sister till her sobbing died down. "Look." She said, looking quite like a child as she held her arms out childishly. "He put Kero in a
cage." Tory grinned slightly, no matter what, Sakura was still a baby sister to him, not even if she was 19... He smiled gently as he knelt down beside her.
"This little runt? Let me open that." He pried the door open easily and the black cage fell into dust between his fingers. Kero woke with a start, his eyes
blinking rapidly. "Uh, tell me I ain't dead yet." Sakura giggled, her eyes still filled with tears as she held her guardian to her bosom, tears of happiness and
strange contained sadness overflowing from her. "Hey hey! Don't squeeze me too hard!" Kero exclaimed, yet his eyes seemed joyful Tory smiled. "Lets get out
of this forest--." As if in reply, the forest suddenly seemed to expand, and Sakura and Tory was in the middle of the forest, when they had been at the edge a
while before. "What the--" Tory exclaimed. Sakura got up. "Oniichan! Get out! This forest only wants me, you will leave unharmed with Kero." She shoved her
guardian into Tory's arms, her eyes alit with tears. "Go!" She pushed them, and the forest spat the two out, as if in disgust, but it eagerly swallowed Sakura
into the darkness.
Sakura shook with fear, the only way to get out was to use one of her cards. She fumbled through her cards and came to the Fiery. 'This is the
home of the dark... fire kills darkness, if this fire swallows the dark forest, and I use shield, I can be safe from any harm, and to prevent the fire from going
out of hand, I have watery and windy.' Sakura clapped her hands over her ears as she heard a strange howling and snuffling noise getting closer.
Clenching her teeth she drew her card out.
"Power of the ancient! Power of the Earth and Heavens... Protect me, and aid my path to righteousness!"
She whipped out her card and melded the glowing card to her forehead at the same time her silver wings sprouted. The howling was close, she could
practically hear the footsteps of whatever was in the darkness, the forest groaned and seemed to talk, "Issh la vaithan no yalath..." The very same words
she had heard at the day of the attack from the dark forest lady. Sakura shivered and instead of calling the orange blob to her hands, she called upon its
power to the greatest degree she could. "Meld into your mistress! Fiery! Lend your mistress your powers!" Swirling fiery spirals swirled around her, the forest
seemed to howl in pain as the branches which seemed to reach out to snatch Sakura were burnt to ashes. Fiery appeared, her form getting larger and
larger until she was Sakura's size, Sakura lifted out a hand, so did the fiery, the touched hands, and the Fiery seemed to fall into the mistress, disappearing.
Sakura let out an unearthly shriek, fire raced through her veins and her brown hair started to glow orange, her eyes turned red. "I shall destroy this place,
where many murderers have been sheltered..." Sakura said aloud, except, she was talking through the language of fire. Wolves and dark creatures hurled
themselves at her, the trees scratched at her face and a strange wind howled about her. Sakura grinned slightly, a grin which was very unlike her
personality. Fire sprayed from her hand and Sakura played around with the fire, hurling it at the dark creatures who dared to come near. Her silver wings
were covered in flame, those dark creatures who dared to come bite her burned to a crisp, leaving nothing but smoldering ashes. She closed her eyes, 'It
is time....' Flame arose from within her, like a tidal wave, the great orange flames of destruction rose from inside her and covered the whole entire forest,
the screaming and dying cried of the damned resounded from miles around.
Tory stared, the forest was lit by flames, strange flames which seemed alive. It was eating the trees which seemed to twist and turn in agony
before it turned to ashes. Sakura was in there. "SAKURA!" He ran toward the forest, but Kero bit his finger and dragged him back. "She's fine, try your
connection with her." Kero told him. Tory glared at the tiny runt and closed his eyes. 'Sakura... are you ok?" There was a breathy answer, 'Yes...' Her voice
was soft, and warm... 'I'm fine, I'll be there, I ended up at the other side of the forest, it won't be long till I'm home.' Tory sighed and wiped his brow. His
sister was ok...
Sakura watched the dark creatures stare at her in awe and horror. The forest was ablaze with fire. Sakura felt a strange satisfaction. She called
back the flames, but she knew they wouldn't listen, they were like naughty children, eager to eat and play. Sakura brought a finger to her forehead and
pulled out the card from her holy symbol. The fiery withdrew from her. 'Thank you...' Sakura said to her card lovingly as the card turned back to its true
form. Sakura withdrew her watery and wind card, this was the tricky part, it was really hard to combine two cards into her one body, clenching her teeth
and noting the flames wandering over to a nearby village, Sakura steeled herself.
"Meld into your mistress! Watery and windy! Lend your mistress your powers!" Sakura held her breathe afraid her cards may rebel, but her control over them
had become quite strong now, they listened willingly. The two forms melded into each other quickly, then they turned to her, they reached out and Sakura
did as well, They became one. Water and wind filled her veins, her eyes were a hazy sort of blue. Her voice sounded strange, like a mixture of a windy day
and the crashing of water in the ocean. "Listen to me when I command you." She growled at the flames, with that she send out a powerful spray of water
everywhere, aided by the wind, the water managed to extinguish all the flames. Calling back the balls of water and wind, she withdrew from her power.
She lowered herself onto the ground, she fluttered her wings twice as she silently called back her power. Opening her eyes, she looked around. It was
done. The forest was nothing but smoldering ashes and damp burnt wood, no longer will they be a shelter for the dark creatures. 'But that vampire which
saved me... what if...' Sakura drew in a quivering breathe. 'What if he died in the flames?' She recalled all the faces of the damned which would haunt her
dreams forever. He wasn't within any of them. Breathing a sigh of relief, she walked toward home, her dress torn singed and bloody.
Syaoran hid the body away... deep into the earth. He stretched out and felt a bone pop. He stopped and moved his back a bit and sighed as
he got up, his blood lust gone, he almost felt a bit human. The blood warmed his cold dark soul. He could feel a little bit of the "Soul" which he did not
possess, as all the people who were mortal had said about vampires. He decided to go back to the forest, he needed some rest, solitude from the
crowded city. Moving swiftly and deftly, he walked towards the dark forest. As soon as he reached the sight thousands of dead immortal dark creatures
voices screamed in pain and dwindled to a whimper... and was gone. Syaoran prowled closer and stared in shock. His amber red eyes took in the scene.
The forest was nothing but smoldering embers. Nothing was alive.... at least nothing undead... He crawled closer to the forest and sniffed the air. He
smelled the scent of cherry blossoms and pure magic. Sakura had been here.... She had destroyed a large forest full of dark creatures. He was awed. 'You
are so alike... so much like my dead Ying Fa...' He thought sadly. 'The one who released me from enslavement... killed by the one she loved.' He clenched
his fists tightly, a fierce howl made its way out of his throat, ripping out of his voice box. Crouching like a wolf, he threw his head back, and howled at the
moon, and the creator of the damned. Some mortals would be in dire danger tonight.
Sakura shivered as she heard a passionate howl from behind her. Whatever it was, Sakura didn't want to find out, she hurried toward her home.
She stopped as a looming figure stood in front of her. "W-w-who is it?" Sakura felt quite faint, from her overuse in magic, and from fear. The large eyes
opened, hidden by large specs. "I see you have succeeded in destroying the forest before it swallowed you up forever in its darkness." A deep and sweet
voice told her. Sakura stepped back and looked up. The figure shook off his cloak and smiled kindly. "Hello, this is Yuki the Druid priest, I wanted to know if
you need my assistance. The forest of the dark has cried out, and I have heard." Sakura stared at him. "You mean... Yuki the slayer of the wolf vampire?!"
"He's not dead, I temporarily silenced him." Sakura's face broke out in a bright grin. "Oh! You are welcome here!" Sakura cried out as she grasped the
strangers hand, somehow, she knew he would not harm her.
Tomoyo cried out as a dark seed started to swell, it was the size of a chickens egg, and it hurt... a lot. Eriol probed it with his magic and cried out
as the powerful black magic flared at him and pushed him away, nearly throwing him onto the wall. Tomoyo started to go hysterical. "I want Sakura here!
Right now!" Eriol panicked, feeling guilty. "She'll come don't--" Tory arrived, breathing hard. "Sakura's coming." Tory said, wincing as he saw the large black
dots swelling about Tomoyo's leg. "That getting any better?" "What do you think." Eriol said sourly. Tory made a face at him and stepped aside as he heard
footsteps. "That should be Sakura now."
Syaoran slashed at all the human with his sword. Anger coursed through him as he cute their throat in a painful manner, so that they will die in
pain and agony. Syaoran smirked as he looked down at them. Their dying eyes stared at him in horror, any words trying to escape their mouth was
sounded as a gurgle of blood. "Damn you human." Syaoran growled, grabbing the old man by the collar, blood made little rivulets down Syaorans pale
pal, but he did not heed it. "Why did you do that to me and her... WHY?" The old mans eyes blinked with fear, but only a large red bubble escaped his lips.
Syaoran growled, he knew he would get no answer. He threw the old man across the blood soaked floor and paced the room, his lips twisted into a
partly insane grin. "Humans..." He muttered darkly, "How weak you were. How weak I was." He stared at his hands, his blood soaked hands and he licked
them. The iron bloody taste of mortal life liquid gave him a jolt of energy. He watched the victims die. He smiled. "Revenge for me and the one I love."
With that, he was gone, like the shadow in the night.
Tory stared at the slender stranger. He stood there, his hair glistening nearly silver. He was suspicious of this strange man. "What do you want with
Sakura?" He asked, his question tinged with threat. The stranger smiled. "I am Yuki, the druid priest, I came here to help you sister defeat the evil creature,
and to help her." Yuki nodded, his eyes trained on Sakura, who was talking to Eriol and Tomoyo quite animatedly. Tory saw this and resisted the urge to go
kick that man in the nuts and beat the living hell out of him. He smiled tightly. "Why are you looking at my sister like that?" Yuki looked up at
him slowly, his eyes betraying how old he was, his eyes looked older for a man with such a young face. "Its amazing... the similarities between her and my
angel, its not a mistake, this is definitely her." They both watched as Sakura stuck her tounge out, her face puckered in intense concentration as she used her cards to burn away the evil and heal her friend.
Syaoran paced the night away, he knew Sakura... not Ying Fa, was awake. But somehow, he knew that Sakura was Ying Fa, it was just that she
forgot everything because of the cursed druid priest. He slammed a hand against the wooden wall. His blood thirst was satiated tonight. He had to talk to
Sakura, through her dreams. And he knew exactly how to do it.
A cold wind blew past Sakura, Sakura shivered and clutched the strange garments closer to herself. She was clothed in pure white satin, and she
was walking along the dark woods with no shoes on. She saw those dead faces of the damned, looking at her silently, proceeding in a strange ceremony
across a strange grave yard in the middle of the forest. Sakura's face went dead white, but she felt her heart being torn as such an anguished cry rang
from somewhere in the grave. The cry drew her towards it. She started off walking, then her pace quickened, until she was running towards the cry with her
dress skirted up to her knees. "I'm coming!" She yelled into the cold air. The dead damned walked past her silently. Sakura stopped in front of a large gray
rock. She could hear the cries behind the stone. Desperate to respond to the despairing cries, she drew her cards, she didn't need any words. Her strength
card sank into her palm and she glowed and felt the strange strength take over her. She pushed the stone away and ran towards the cry, it was getting
louder now.
"YING FA!"
Sakura gasped, she saw a strange creature in the dark, its eyes glowing red, chained onto a large slab of stone. His sobbing cries made her eyes
fill with tears. "Ying fa..." The creatures voice died off into a soft whimper. Sakura crept closer, her eyes on the creature. "Are you ok?" Her voice sounded tiny
in the large stifling room. "I am now." The figure slowly turned around, its red eyes gleaming in the light. "Come closer so I can see you." Sakura, scared of
walking closer to the dark shadows, obliged unwillingly. The creature sighed. "Ying Fa Ying Fa..." He murmured. The door slammed shut behind her, Sakura
screamed as the room was suddenly engulfed in a dark pitch black. A dim light turned on. The creature saw near the floor, in rusty chains. "Please, sit
beside me." He pleaded through his voice, although he did not look up. Sakura sat down, confused. She looked around and shivered, it was like a stone
tomb, cold and dead. She shivered slightly and sat next to the creature. The first thing her eyes landed on was the creatures wrists. It was bloody and the
flesh underneath the shackles were torn and bleeding. The chains smelled faintly of blood. Sakura shivered and felt pity over take her. She opened the
chain easily, to her surprise. "There, that should feel much--" Sakura jumped as the creatures two hands gripped her shoulder painfully and suddenly. The two
red eyes looked at her in the face, the color fading off into a dark amber. The dim light brightened and Sakura recognized his face. "Syaoran..." Sakura
whispered, her eyes wide with fear. "How did you..." He silenced her with a hand to her lips. He looked into her eyes, searched her eyes for something,
something Sakura wanted him to find desperately.
"You have the most beautiful green eyes." He murmured.
Sakura turned a slight shade of pink and stared back at his hypnotizing eyes. He caressed her face gently with a cold finger. "You have her face structure,
and her hair... How can I be sure it is you Ying fa?" He demanded. Sakura was mesmerized and slightly scared. "Who's Ying fa?" Their eyes were locked, their
gaze met and they felt a strange connection...
He let her go gently, his face filled with a strange sorrow which many vampires did not possess.
"Ying fa... was my angel. The one who was murdered by an enemy." He turned his back on her. There was a long silence between them. Sakura
heard the gentle echoing of water dipping onto a surface.
"This is my prison. It kept me from saving her." Syaoran waved his hand around the room, his face ablaze with a strange anger. "She was killed by
someone she trusted." Sakura felt a strange sorrow, she felt grieved for this vampire. "I'm sorry." She whispered softly. Syaoran stilled. "Don't be." He turned
to her slowly, his face passionate with a strange emotion. "Oh Ying Fa, if only you remembered me! If only, in this lifetime we had a chance together! If only..."
His face was sorrowful. "If only fate didn't have to be so cruel." There was a long sad moan which escaped the vampires lips. He stood in front of her. His
eyes were pleading. "Tell me... are you her? My Ying Fa?" Sakura wet her drying lips and wanted to respond... but found she couldn't. She found her voice
after a long while. Her voice was filled with a strange confusion. "I don't think so." She answered. He stepped forward towards her. "Yet I'm not too sure you
are in your right state of mind." Syaoran was really close to her now. When he spoke, she could see his deadly sharp fangs pointing our from his sensuous lips.
"Only your aura can tell me. If I can just touch you aura without you struggling... I can know for sure."
Sakura froze. 'Touch my aura? No! What if he is trying to destroy me? He is my enemy!' Her befuddled mind argued against her logic. 'Sakura! He won't hurt
you, this is just a dream... look, he's suffering...' "It may be a lie!" She answered herself furiously, but out loud into the open. A long tense silence came after
that. Syaoran looked at her slowly. His eyes never separated from hers. He stepped forward, his hand reached out and pulled in a slightly struggling Sakura.
"Many things you won't understand, you will never know if you are living a lie." He leaned towards her, his forehead resting on hers, their eyes met and a
strange turbulent emotion passed through them. Sakura was attracted to Syaoran immensely. She felt herself weakening as he smiled a slight smile. A cold
smile. Sakura didn't know what to do. 'Give in... this is just a dream...' Sakura shivered. 'Dreaming about my enemy? How about Eriol?' Sakura saw Eriol
passing by her in her mind. She felt a strange strength go through her. The strength to resist. She knew it might be dangerous, even in a dream, with
something with magic. She pulled away, but his grip on her strengthened.
Syaoran cursed. He had to know, he could sense what this girl was thinking about. That blasted purple eyed freak. He tasted a strange sour
sensation in his lips and he attempted to regain her trust. He had to know if this girl was Ying fa. Only if his aura touched his, he will know by her reaction.
He changed the surrounding scene to one that he had first met Ying Fa in.
Sakura blinked, the scene around her became blurry, like watercolors blending in on each other. The world was suddenly a beautiful place. She
was sitting in the mountain, the starry stars studded across the black velvet sky. It was breath taking. She looked down and she saw a large serene lake,
reflecting the moonlight. A slight sigh escaped her mouth and she turned suddenly. "NOOOOOOO!" Sakura, her curiosity peaked, looked through the
bushes and saw a young man struggling in the bushes. A dark creature with red eyes and black hair held him down. The girl snarled. Sakura gasped, a
vampire! Her teeth was bared, it was glistening pale white in the moonlight. "You love me... darling, let us stay together for eternity." The girl purred. She
grabbed the boy, easily overpowering him with her unnatural vampire strength, and bit his neck.
Sakura knew the pain of a vampires bite. "NOOOOOOO!" Sakura screamed, she couldn't do anything, petrified she watched as the vampire
pinned him to the ground and forced him to drink her blood. The dark coppery liquid made little rivulets across the mans face and the vampire purred as if
she was taking pleasure from it. The boy threw her off, he was starting to collapse. The scene changed again, and suddenly she was back at the mountain
top. She felt herself crying.
'That poor man... that poor mortal...' She felt her face being lifted into the cool night air. She opened her tightly squelched eyes and met the
vampires eyes. It was Syaoran, his eyes were full of dark sorrow. "Not everyone wants to be a vampire." He said darkly. "A cursed life is not a life at all, even
if you are immortal." Sakura felt a heart wrenching sob overtake her. "But that man." She sobbed. "He didn't want it, she forced it upon her and...and-"
Syaoran leaned forward, his face had a strange warmth and he smiled sadly as he wiped away her tears. "Shhh... Through such force, many people lose
the ones they love, and they hope, and hope that in their lovers next life, they can join them." His fingers stroke away her tears. "I have waited a long time."
He said softly. "Let me find my hope." Sakura felt her gentle heart oblige while her logical side of her mind cried out in warning. He leaned closer toward
her, his eyes closing, Sakura's eyes widened for a split milli second, but felt her eyes flutter shut as he gently brought her closer and kissed her.
It was an exquisite feeling. Having someone... kiss you like this. Sakura felt herself falling deeper into this strange trance. 'Such a wonderful
dream...' Sakura murmured to herself. A strange sensation of magic engulfed her. Her logical part of her mind screamed out in terror. A strange
pulsating green light over came her. Sakura pulled away, finding it hard to breathe. "You tricked me!" Sakura cried. Her pink aura flashed, her magic flared
but was entrapped in the green magic. "No, I found you." Syaoran whispered, his eyes wide and a strange joy over took his emotionless face. Her pink
magic flared again as the green magic intertwined with the pink one, the pink magic lashed out at it but gradually accepted the green magic. The
magical aura's seemed to dance about each other, and it started to rain. Sakura felt a strange pleasure running through her. A sudden and unexplainable
laughter bursted from her lips. Syaoran smiled and gripped her hand and drew her closer. Thunder crackled in the distance. "They won't take you again." He
breathed softly in her ear. Sakura felt her magic pull her towards the vampire. 'Betrayed by my own magic.' Sakura thought with doom in her mind.
Syaoran stood there with a mysterious smile as he held out his hand as her magic fetched her towards him. "NO!" Sakura screamed. "Get away from me!"
Sakura expected to feel a bite on her throat as he grabbed her and held her tightly in a hug. Her eyes widened in shock as a strange sensation overcame
her as a strange and unexpected throaty sigh left her throat. He kissed her throat lightly instead, and lightly nibbled her flesh there. He held her tightly.
"Don't leave me again." He said, his voice a sigh. Suddenly, a strange whitish magic slid between them with a flash. The pink aura snapped back to its
respective owner as did the green one. "No... cures you druid priest!" Syaoran yelled out, his voice a snarl, his face wolfishly dangerous. A strange white
magic engulfed Syaoran. A loud snarl of misery escaped the vampires lips as the white magic dragged him away from the dream realm.
"NOOO!" A strange feeling of emptiness engulfed her. Although her mind sighed with relief, her magic cried out for his. Tears streamed from
Sakura's eyes. Sakura stared as a strange white figure stood before her, his large silvery angel like wings shadowing face. "Don't listen to him, he seduces
with his words, and destroys with his magic and love." The figure turned away from her quickly and flew away into the night sky. But still, Sakura could not
stop the torrent of tears which fell from her eyes.
To be continued.....
A/N: Was this scene romantic? Was it too mushy? *frowns* I hope not. Well, ciao!

Tory held his sister till her sobbing died down. "Look." She said, looking quite like a child as she held her arms out childishly. "He put Kero in a
cage." Tory grinned slightly, no matter what, Sakura was still a baby sister to him, not even if she was 19... He smiled gently as he knelt down beside her.

pal, but he did not heed it. "Why did you do that to me and her... WHY?" The old mans eyes blinked with fear, but only a large red bubble escaped his lips.
Syaoran growled, he knew he would get no answer. He threw the old man across the blood soaked floor and paced the room, his lips twisted into a
partly insane grin. "Humans..." He muttered darkly, "How weak you were. How weak I was." He stared at his hands, his blood soaked hands and he licked
them. The iron bloody taste of mortal life liquid gave him a jolt of energy. He watched the victims die. He smiled. "Revenge for me and the one I love."
With that, he was gone, like the shadow in the night.
Tory stared at the slender stranger. He stood there, his hair glistening nearly silver. He was suspicious of this strange man. "What do you want with
Sakura?" He asked, his question tinged with threat. The stranger smiled. "I am Yuki, the druid priest, I came here to help you sister defeat the evil creature,
and to help her." Yuki nodded, his eyes trained on Sakura, who was talking to Eriol and Tomoyo quite animatedly. Tory saw this and resisted the urge to go
kick that man in the nuts and beat the living hell out of him. He smiled tightly. "Why are you looking at my sister like that?" Yuki looked up at
him slowly, his eyes betraying how old he was, his eyes looked older for a man with such a young face. "Its amazing... the similarities between her and my
angel, its not a mistake, this is definitely her." They both watched as Sakura stuck her tounge out, her face puckered in intense concentration as she used her cards to burn away the evil and heal her friend.
Syaoran paced the night away, he knew Sakura... not Ying Fa, was awake. But somehow, he knew that Sakura was Ying Fa, it was just that she
forgot everything because of the cursed druid priest. He slammed a hand against the wooden wall. His blood thirst was satiated tonight. He had to talk to
Sakura, through her dreams. And he knew exactly how to do it.
A cold wind blew past Sakura, Sakura shivered and clutched the strange garments closer to herself. She was clothed in pure white satin, and she
was walking along the dark woods with no shoes on. She saw those dead faces of the damned, looking at her silently, proceeding in a strange ceremony
across a strange grave yard in the middle of the forest. Sakura's face went dead white, but she felt her heart being torn as such an anguished cry rang
from somewhere in the grave. The cry drew her towards it. She started off walking, then her pace quickened, until she was running towards the cry with her
dress skirted up to her knees. "I'm coming!" She yelled into the cold air. The dead damned walked past her silently. Sakura stopped in front of a large gray
rock. She could hear the cries behind the stone. Desperate to respond to the despairing cries, she drew her cards, she didn't need any words. Her strength
card sank into her palm and she glowed and felt the strange strength take over her. She pushed the stone away and ran towards the cry, it was getting
louder now.
"YING FA!"
Sakura gasped, she saw a strange creature in the dark, its eyes glowing red, chained onto a large slab of stone. His sobbing cries made her eyes
fill with tears. "Ying fa..." The creatures voice died off into a soft whimper. Sakura crept closer, her eyes on the creature. "Are you ok?" Her voice sounded tiny
in the large stifling room. "I am now." The figure slowly turned around, its red eyes gleaming in the light. "Come closer so I can see you." Sakura, scared of
walking closer to the dark shadows, obliged unwillingly. The creature sighed. "Ying Fa Ying Fa..." He murmured. The door slammed shut behind her, Sakura
screamed as the room was suddenly engulfed in a dark pitch black. A dim light turned on. The creature saw near the floor, in rusty chains. "Please, sit
beside me." He pleaded through his voice, although he did not look up. Sakura sat down, confused. She looked around and shivered, it was like a stone
tomb, cold and dead. She shivered slightly and sat next to the creature. The first thing her eyes landed on was the creatures wrists. It was bloody and the
flesh underneath the shackles were torn and bleeding. The chains smelled faintly of blood. Sakura shivered and felt pity over take her. She opened the
chain easily, to her surprise. "There, that should feel much--" Sakura jumped as the creatures two hands gripped her shoulder painfully and suddenly. The two
red eyes looked at her in the face, the color fading off into a dark amber. The dim light brightened and Sakura recognized his face. "Syaoran..." Sakura
whispered, her eyes wide with fear. "How did you..." He silenced her with a hand to her lips. He looked into her eyes, searched her eyes for something,
something Sakura wanted him to find desperately.
"You have the most beautiful green eyes." He murmured.
Sakura turned a slight shade of pink and stared back at his hypnotizing eyes. He caressed her face gently with a cold finger. "You have her face structure,
and her hair... How can I be sure it is you Ying fa?" He demanded. Sakura was mesmerized and slightly scared. "Who's Ying fa?" Their eyes were locked, their
gaze met and they felt a strange connection...
He let her go gently, his face filled with a strange sorrow which many vampires did not possess.
"Ying fa... was my angel. The one who was murdered by an enemy." He turned his back on her. There was a long silence between them. Sakura
heard the gentle echoing of water dipping onto a surface.
"This is my prison. It kept me from saving her." Syaoran waved his hand around the room, his face ablaze with a strange anger. "She was killed by
someone she trusted." Sakura felt a strange sorrow, she felt grieved for this vampire. "I'm sorry." She whispered softly. Syaoran stilled. "Don't be." He turned
to her slowly, his face passionate with a strange emotion. "Oh Ying Fa, if only you remembered me! If only, in this lifetime we had a chance together! If only..."
His face was sorrowful. "If only fate didn't have to be so cruel." There was a long sad moan which escaped the vampires lips. He stood in front of her. His
eyes were pleading. "Tell me... are you her? My Ying Fa?" Sakura wet her drying lips and wanted to respond... but found she couldn't. She found her voice
after a long while. Her voice was filled with a strange confusion. "I don't think so." She answered. He stepped forward towards her. "Yet I'm not too sure you
are in your right state of mind." Syaoran was really close to her now. When he spoke, she could see his deadly sharp fangs pointing our from his sensuous lips.
"Only your aura can tell me. If I can just touch you aura without you struggling... I can know for sure."
Sakura froze. 'Touch my aura? No! What if he is trying to destroy me? He is my enemy!' Her befuddled mind argued against her logic. 'Sakura! He won't hurt
you, this is just a dream... look, he's suffering...' "It may be a lie!" She answered herself furiously, but out loud into the open. A long tense silence came after
that. Syaoran looked at her slowly. His eyes never separated from hers. He stepped forward, his hand reached out and pulled in a slightly struggling Sakura.
"Many things you won't understand, you will never know if you are living a lie." He leaned towards her, his forehead resting on hers, their eyes met and a
strange turbulent emotion passed through them. Sakura was attracted to Syaoran immensely. She felt herself weakening as he smiled a slight smile. A cold
smile. Sakura didn't know what to do. 'Give in... this is just a dream...' Sakura shivered. 'Dreaming about my enemy? How about Eriol?' Sakura saw Eriol
passing by her in her mind. She felt a strange strength go through her. The strength to resist. She knew it might be dangerous, even in a dream, with
something with magic. She pulled away, but his grip on her strengthened.
Syaoran cursed. He had to know, he could sense what this girl was thinking about. That blasted purple eyed freak. He tasted a strange sour
sensation in his lips and he attempted to regain her trust. He had to know if this girl was Ying fa. Only if his aura touched his, he will know by her reaction.
He changed the surrounding scene to one that he had first met Ying Fa in.
Sakura blinked, the scene around her became blurry, like watercolors blending in on each other. The world was suddenly a beautiful place. She
was sitting in the mountain, the starry stars studded across the black velvet sky. It was breath taking. She looked down and she saw a large serene lake,
reflecting the moonlight. A slight sigh escaped her mouth and she turned suddenly. "NOOOOOOO!" Sakura, her curiosity peaked, looked through the
bushes and saw a young man struggling in the bushes. A dark creature with red eyes and black hair held him down. The girl snarled. Sakura gasped, a
vampire! Her teeth was bared, it was glistening pale white in the moonlight. "You love me... darling, let us stay together for eternity." The girl purred. She
grabbed the boy, easily overpowering him with her unnatural vampire strength, and bit his neck.
Sakura knew the pain of a vampires bite. "NOOOOOOO!" Sakura screamed, she couldn't do anything, petrified she watched as the vampire
pinned him to the ground and forced him to drink her blood. The dark coppery liquid made little rivulets across the mans face and the vampire purred as if
she was taking pleasure from it. The boy threw her off, he was starting to collapse. The scene changed again, and suddenly she was back at the mountain
top. She felt herself crying.
'That poor man... that poor mortal...' She felt her face being lifted into the cool night air. She opened her tightly squelched eyes and met the
vampires eyes. It was Syaoran, his eyes were full of dark sorrow. "Not everyone wants to be a vampire." He said darkly. "A cursed life is not a life at all, even
if you are immortal." Sakura felt a heart wrenching sob overtake her. "But that man." She sobbed. "He didn't want it, she forced it upon her and...and-"
Syaoran leaned forward, his face had a strange warmth and he smiled sadly as he wiped away her tears. "Shhh... Through such force, many people lose
the ones they love, and they hope, and hope that in their lovers next life, they can join them." His fingers stroke away her tears. "I have waited a long time."
He said softly. "Let me find my hope." Sakura felt her gentle heart oblige while her logical side of her mind cried out in warning. He leaned closer toward
her, his eyes closing, Sakura's eyes widened for a split milli second, but felt her eyes flutter shut as he gently brought her closer and kissed her.
It was an exquisite feeling. Having someone... kiss you like this. Sakura felt herself falling deeper into this strange trance. 'Such a wonderful
dream...' Sakura murmured to herself. A strange sensation of magic engulfed her. Her logical part of her mind screamed out in terror. A strange
pulsating green light over came her. Sakura pulled away, finding it hard to breathe. "You tricked me!" Sakura cried. Her pink aura flashed, her magic flared
but was entrapped in the green magic. "No, I found you." Syaoran whispered, his eyes wide and a strange joy over took his emotionless face. Her pink
magic flared again as the green magic intertwined with the pink one, the pink magic lashed out at it but gradually accepted the green magic. The
magical aura's seemed to dance about each other, and it started to rain. Sakura felt a strange pleasure running through her. A sudden and unexplainable
laughter bursted from her lips. Syaoran smiled and gripped her hand and drew her closer. Thunder crackled in the distance. "They won't take you again." He
breathed softly in her ear. Sakura felt her magic pull her towards the vampire. 'Betrayed by my own magic.' Sakura thought with doom in her mind.
Syaoran stood there with a mysterious smile as he held out his hand as her magic fetched her towards him. "NO!" Sakura screamed. "Get away from me!"
Sakura expected to feel a bite on her throat as he grabbed her and held her tightly in a hug. Her eyes widened in shock as a strange sensation overcame
her as a strange and unexpected throaty sigh left her throat. He kissed her throat lightly instead, and lightly nibbled her flesh there. He held her tightly.
"Don't leave me again." He said, his voice a sigh. Suddenly, a strange whitish magic slid between them with a flash. The pink aura snapped back to its
respective owner as did the green one. "No... cures you druid priest!" Syaoran yelled out, his voice a snarl, his face wolfishly dangerous. A strange white
magic engulfed Syaoran. A loud snarl of misery escaped the vampires lips as the white magic dragged him away from the dream realm.
"NOOO!" A strange feeling of emptiness engulfed her. Although her mind sighed with relief, her magic cried out for his. Tears streamed from
Sakura's eyes. Sakura stared as a strange white figure stood before her, his large silvery angel like wings shadowing face. "Don't listen to him, he seduces
with his words, and destroys with his magic and love." The figure turned away from her quickly and flew away into the night sky. But still, Sakura could not
stop the torrent of tears which fell from her eyes.
