DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THESE DAMN CHARACTHERS FOR THE &%*& LAST TIME!!!!
A/N: Pardon my sp errors, I've realized that spell checking them messes around with the page's function. So this is a really rough draft of what I've written, but still, enjoy! Read and REVEIW! *Squeals* I love reveiws!
Sakura jumped up, it was magic she had felt in the air. And the scream was familiar.
"ERIOL!"
Sakura recognized the voice almost immediately. "Tomoyo!" Sakura sprinted, drawing up her dress to free her legs. Sakura arrived, seeing a strange spectale in front of her. Eriol stood in front of a evil looking sprite who was holding Tomoyo in the centuries old position of submission. Tomoyo's throat was bared to the sprites sharp fangs. "Tell me!" She hissed to Eriol. Eriol shook his head and stared as the sprite seemed to lower herself to bite iinto Tomoyo's tender flesh. "STOP!" Sakura cried, she let out a small burst of her pink aura, scorching the Sprite. The sprite jumped up and whirled around. "Who dares..." There was a fleeting look of recognition in the sprites eyes. "The fallen angel..." The sprite breathed heavily, her eyes holding Sakura's. "Ying Fa Wei, you've came back... good thing too, I was about to take my rage out in this fellow here... but I would like to torture you more."
Syaoran looked at the moon, the beams of pale moonlight washing his face and highlighting his hair a strange glint of copperish silver. 'She doesn't remeber... why bother to try, without those memories, she is nothing but a Ying Fa look alike...' Syaoran assured himself, yet he knew it wasn't true. He wasn't sure what Yuki had done to her, but she was genuinely confused. Syaoran turned slowly and blinked as a soft small hand rested on his arm. A willowy small woman with icy blue eyes and a evil thin smile beamed at him. "Hello handsome." She said, her voice sugary sweet. "Hello." He replied, racking his mind, did he recognize the face? Faintly... but he didn't know if he had invited her, then again, he had invited everyone in town to come... "Beautiful night is'nt it?" The girl said silkily. Her eyes did not stray from his face, she didn't even look at the beauty of the night world but looked at him straight in the eye. "You're one fine catch, you're going to be mine." She fluttered her eyelashes flirtaciously at him. "Who are you?" Syaoran asked, faintly amused by this foolish mortal. "Mila Ramayakou." She said, making her voice light and cheerful. But it was fake. Syaoran could feel it instinctively. She pulled at his collar, her face facing his. "I already know yours..." She breathed, her icy eyes looking deep and seductive as she slowly traveled her tounge across her thin lips. "Li Syaoran...." Syaoran winced, she was looking at him as if he was a peice of meat to be inspected. he pulled away. He smiled polietly. "Thank you for such a nice meeting Ms. Ramayakou." He said cooly, his eyes dull without interest. He lightly scored a polite kiss on her knuckled and quickly drew away. "But I must go, I have guests to greet and people to meet." She swayed her hips seductively, lowering her eye lids. "Then go on ahead Mr Li..." She purred. Syaoran pulled away from her talons and quickly made his escape. Foolish mortal, did she not see that he could kill her with a faint touch of his teeth against the flesh on her neck? No. She didn't and how ironic. He smirked.
Sakura's mind screamed her isolence at her. 'YOU FORGOT YOUR CARDS!' Her logical side of her mind ranted, angry with herself, Sakura chasted herself. 'Screw the cards, I can just use my plain magic.' Sakura looked uneasy, Eriol glanced at her and nodded. She knew what to do. She had seen that nod so many times, it was a daily routine. Sakura put on a confident smile. 'What makes you think I'm Ying Fa Wei?" Sakura asked, making herself look pompous. "You have her eyes, her face, her hair, her aura..." The Sprite growled. "No more games Ying Fa, life or death, you choose. Oops, there is no choice. Your final desicion is death. So be it." The sprite circled her, Sakura watched intently as Eriol started chanting a really powerful spell. Sakura cleared her throat loudly. "Ying Fa? Me? I never knew, since when was I Ying Fa?" The sprite growled, her slanted eyes narrowed. "Of course, I forgot, you're recarinated... You would'nt know..." Sakura frowned, why was everyone calling her Ying Fa? Syaoran's words came back to her mind...
**'I'm Syaoran Li! The son of a peasent from the country of Shu! You're Ying Fa Wei! Step daughter of the Duke of Lei! The fallen angel? Do you remeber now? Ying fa? SAKURA?'**
"IM NOT YING FA!" Sakura yelled outloud, fusterated at herself. Someone she thought may care for her, even if it was adsurb because he was something she must destroy, loved someone who looked like her. Not her. 'Not me... NOT ME!" The sprite stared at Sakura, suspiciously, as Sakura eyed Eriol behind the sprite. He was nearly done. The sprite stared at her. "What are you up to this time Yin-- wait a second... that Clow... he is...." She whirled around, held aloft by her skeletal wings. "YOU!" It screeched, but it was too late, Eriol's blue magic disinegrated her to black ashes, which dissappeared quickly... fading.... Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. "Is Tomoyo Ok?" Sakura asked, drawing closer. Eriol cradeled Tomoyo tightly. "She's a bit shocked, she'll be alright." Eriol said reassuringly, his face had a tired smile. Sakura felt her heart give a painful wrench. Eriol and Tomoyo, how perfect they looked with each other.
They were both dark and beautiful adn elegant.... Both mysterious and motherly/fatherly...
Sakura turned slightly, her eyes lowered to the ground. But no one loved her. Sakura smiled a fake cheery grin. "Lets go back to the party! Its almost dinner reception." Eriol shook his head, looking throughly wearied. "Its enough for today Sakura, I'm taking Tomoyo home. I have no idea how that sprite found me and I endangered the two most important females in my life." 'You mean one most...' Sakura thought sullenly. But she smiled brightly. "Ok then, I'll stay, I need a breathe of fresh air." Eriol nodded, picking up Tomoyo who was shaking. "She's in shock." Eriol said quietly as he looked at Tomoyo tenderly. "Good night Sakura." He nodded at her polietly, and left. Sakura fell unto her knees, her eyes filling with tears.
Love was so beautiful yet it never came to her.
Sakura curled up into a ball, not caring if her dress became messy. No one loved her. Everyone she had loved had become hurt. And people loved her for only three things... her body, her magic... and what or who she looked like. Sakura brought her arms to her face and wept. She felt stupid, yet a shuddering feeling went through her.
'I miss you...'
A faint voice in her head whispered, it was a familiar feminine voice. Sakura stopped crying and listened to the wind.
'Syaroran... oh Syaoran... Can you hear me? Hear me within myself? I'm trapped, trapped within myself... A memory stored away in a locked box... release me Sakura... you and I are one!'
Sakura jumped up, wipin her face. 'Whos there?" Sakura got up, slwoly rounding the garden, fully aware of the beauty around her.
'It took forever for me to be able to gather myself, wake from my drugged sleep and talk to you... I am you... you are me.... we are one...'
Sakura gasped as the scene in her dreams unfolded before her. From the balcony from the large palace like building before her, she watched as the girl in her dreams, or... herself, stood there, looking up at a man. His face was hidden by shadows. The whole entire conversation could'nt be heard... but she heard faint words....
"Please..."
"Don't turn away from me..."
"...Love you..."
"...No..."
She heard the faint sobbing from the woman who turned and ran away from the man who stood there, calling after her.
"YING FA! YING FA!"
Sakura came to a startling revelation... Like someone lit a candle within the dark corners of a room...
She must be Ying fa...
The tiny shrill voice started to echo and fade.
'I'm so tired... so tired... Sakura... please don't deny yourself any longer... don't deny us... Sakura.... my Sy...."
The voice faded off, cutting off the last word. Sakura stared at herself. She was the fallen angel. She was the fulfillment to the prophecy... But who was that man? She looked up at the balcony, but the scene was gone. It was empty, and a strong gust of wind blew across the abandoned balcony. They had dissappeared like spirits... Was Ying Fa a spirit? Was she possessed? Of course not... the spirit within her was not a violent one... it felt... so much like herself. Sakura ceased to cry, she sat upon the wooden bench and stared at the green broken grass she had been sitting on. She noticed the green grass stains on her dress, and was pricked with guilt. Tomoyo would be upset.
"Sakura?"
Sakura looked up, suprised. "S-s-syaoran?"
The vampire looked at her, his eyes held a gentle glow. "I'm sorry." He said, his voice geniune with a strange warmth. He walked closer, making Sakura's heart quicken and her cheek flush slightly. "For what? I should be sorry..." Sakura said remorsefully. He smiled. "No... dear girl..." He said, his voice a gentle caress as he looked at her beautiful delicate face, gently lit to soften her features with the moonlight. "I'm sorry for saying you are Ying Fa." He said sincerely. "You cannot be her again, you are Sakura, you are Ying Fa, but in this life, you are Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura caught his hand, which drifted near her cheek. She held his hand to her cheek. "I cannot blame you." Sakura said, her voice soft and gentle. "I am Ying Fa. She... well... I told myself that... The memories are still locked up, but I do remeber someone... and I... I don't knwo for sure if it was you... but since you loved me before I knew you I'm guessing--." Syaoran stopped, and looked at her. "Who?" "This man at the balcony." She replied, she desperately wanted to know if the lover was Syaoran. She wanted to love him, even if he was an evil dark creature. "The man who stood there at a beautiful night, telling me he loved me while I wore a green dress." Syaoran's eyebrows furrowed. "Oh... that day." His voice became sharp. Sakura cringed. But Syaoran smiled sadly. "How ironic, you remeber the few moments before your death." Sakura blinked, puzzled. "My death?" Syaoran sighed, his eyes sad. "Your death Ying Fa dear... the day where the damned man betrayed you."
Yuki knew this was happening. She was falling for him all over again! He slammed an angered fist on his wooden table and got up, pacing the floors of his small shack. 'Before I let that evil creature get her, I'll kill her myself!' She snarled to himself selfishly. 'No you should'nt.' A cold more logical part of him shot back. But Yuki made up his mind as he took out his spell book. "I have friends Syaoran." He said softly to himself. "If they know you're still alive... then they will come to kill you... You are standing in the way of Sakura's true mission... let her be!"
Sakura drew away, puzzled. "Syaoran--." He shused her, a long slender finger on his lips. "Shush, dear girl..." Syaoran drew closer, his warm lips slowly resting over hers. Sakura reveled in the bask of love. It was a gentle soft kiss. Passionate and longing.... it was sweet and short. Sakura made a small whining sound, wrapping a slender arm around his neck, she pulled him closer, making Syaoran chuckled as he kissed her more passionately, they tounges dancing in each other sweetness... Sakura pulled away, unable to breathe. "I need to go." Sakura said breathlessly, her eyes shining. "Really..." Syaoran smiled. "Go where?" Sakura smiled brightly, making Syaoran's heart sing. "Home." Sakura replied. "I have to go home. It is late... and my father will be worried..." Syaoran smiled and brought Sakura into a tight embrace. "I'll be waiting..." Syaoran said softly, his voice husky and smooth against her ear. He gently touched her cheek, her hair, her lips... and he was gone. Sakura felt herself bursting with a strange fulfillment she had never felt before. She didn't know if she was dreaming or not. But the throbbing on her lips, and her dishleveled state clearly stated that this was indeed real. She laughed joyfully, springing towards the exit. Exhulting in life... her existance, and his.
There was a strange pulsating red and black light from a strange lumpy stone which sat on a large obsidian table... There was no light expect for the red and black... the red and black light danced about the small cavern. The slow drippping of the water, and the musky smell of moss and dead things made Sakura gag. What was the stone? She kept seeing it. It pulsated in front of her. Drawing her closer till her hands just reached it. Her fingertips gently brushed the rouch surface of the stone. She was immediately engulfed in darkness and a strange evil.
There was a suffocating darkness around her, tightening its grip and making Sakura struggle to breathe. Flashes of fangs, blood, death, flesh, corpses, maniacal laughter, and a strange howl of pure evil whirled about her head. Sakura tripped and landed on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling of the cavern. Stars flew about her, blotting out the insane and deathly scenes. Sakura started to cry, like a child.
"Why are you crying? Sakura?"
Sakura looked up, she blinked, she saw her mother, standing there, looking concerened. "M-m-ma?" She croaked, her throat tight. Nadeshiko stared down at her, her green eyes meeting similar green ones. Her mothers dark black locks fell about her face in waves. "Sakura, you've been crying in your sleep again... Shhhh.... don't cry...." Sakura felt her mother gentle caress on her face. But this was impossible, her mother was dead! "Ma... I thought you were dead..." Nadeshiko smiled her beautifuls mile, similar to her daughters bright smiles. "No ones really dead till they're forgotten." She replied, her eyes winking and twinkling. "Shush, sleep child." Her mother smoothed her hair and moved away. Sakura heard a door shut. Sakura got up, confused. She was at home... What was going on? Where was her father? Mother? Brother? Sakura got out of her bed, the stone was gone, its pulsating power as well. Instead, a faint glowing caught her eye as she stared about the darkness of her room. It came from her drawers... Sakura blinked slowly and walked over to the drawer, opening it carefully. The pink diary floated out. The mysterious diary that started it all.
The pages started flipping on its own, faster... and faster.... it glowed and suddenly stopped at a page... Sakura rubbed her eyes as the light faded and the diary rested in her palms.
Entry 29
Dear Diary,
This may be my last entry. I tried to find the stone of evil and destroy it to bring balance to the lands, its my duty as a card mistress and the fallen angel.
But I failed. Right now... Syaoran is next to me, they shot his arm. (There was a blurred mark here. 'It must've been a tear....' Sakura thought.) They are turning against me! Eevryone! I can't find the stone of darkness, without that destroyed, with my power... then the world will continue this way... Oh, why did HE of all people betray me? Oh dear... Syaoran is asking for a drink of water... I know he needs blood... what can I do? He's getting blood from his wounds all over me! (The book has a smudge of blood, old and brown.) I'm trapped in this small rock crevice, its getting cold. They surrounded us. There is no escape. They told me there is no chance for a damned and tainted love like mines and Syaorans to survive... Oh... can that be true? Is that my downfall? I'm sorry... I failed everyone... Right now, the only person I have is Syaoran. He's my love. My life.
~Ying Fa Wei
Sakura stared, Syaoran... he was in all this... she knew him before... But what was it? Who betrayed her? The words "Stone of Evil" and "destroy" became bolder, they grew upon the pages and glowed until Sakura had to close her eyes tightly to block the penetrating light.
'Destroy this evil stone... then darkness will be gone...'
The voice within Sakura's head said quietly.
'Only this way can one save the world of the damned... Only this way... only this way can we....'
The voice echoed and Sakura woke up.
The sunlight shone into her room, blinding her face. "It was a dream..." Sakura muttered, rubbing her eyes. "I should've known... It was way to bizarre..." Sakura suddenly stopped. The pink diary was lying on her bed... It wasn't there before. SHe knew she had placed it in her dresser... Sakura's eyes widened... Was the dream a warning?
Was it a prophecy?
Sakura leaned back, closing her eyes briefly, feeling a strange ominous presence, her green eyes flew open and stared out her window.
Yuki smiled thinly, this was the only way. The strang maniac like rage which bubbled within had started to swell again. God he hated that vampire. He was going to get rid of him. But first, he was going to tamper with the love affair between the angel and the vampire. Yuki rubbed his hands together. He knew they had many times of betrayal... this might be too easy. Yuki grinned crookedly as he opened his musty spell book, and his fingers rested on a yellowed gossmar page. Delicately he read the page, the gleam of pure hatred burning and lighting his eyes up. "Oh Syaoran..." He muttered, his eyes glimmering with triumph. "You will have the one who loves you the most hate you... and destroy you, like how it was meant to be..." Yuki gently shut the book, he had some work to do...
To be continued...

Chapter Title: Realizations
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THESE DAMN CHARACTHERS FOR THE &%*& LAST TIME!!!!
A/N: Pardon my sp errors, I've realized that spell checking them messes around with the page's function. So this is a really rough draft of what I've written, but still, enjoy! Read and REVEIW! *Squeals* I love reveiws!
Sakura jumped up, it was magic she had felt in the air. And the scream was familiar.
"ERIOL!"
Sakura recognized the voice almost immediately. "Tomoyo!" Sakura sprinted, drawing up her dress to free her legs. Sakura arrived, seeing a strange spectale in front of her. Eriol stood in front of a evil looking sprite who was holding Tomoyo in the centuries old position of submission. Tomoyo's throat was bared to the sprites sharp fangs. "Tell me!" She hissed to Eriol. Eriol shook his head and stared as the sprite seemed to lower herself to bite iinto Tomoyo's tender flesh. "STOP!" Sakura cried, she let out a small burst of her pink aura, scorching the Sprite. The sprite jumped up and whirled around. "Who dares..." There was a fleeting look of recognition in the sprites eyes. "The fallen angel..." The sprite breathed heavily, her eyes holding Sakura's. "Ying Fa Wei, you've came back... good thing too, I was about to take my rage out in this fellow here... but I would like to torture you more."
Syaoran looked at the moon, the beams of pale moonlight washing his face and highlighting his hair a strange glint of copperish silver. 'She doesn't remeber... why bother to try, without those memories, she is nothing but a Ying Fa look alike...' Syaoran assured himself, yet he knew it wasn't true. He wasn't sure what Yuki had done to her, but she was genuinely confused. Syaoran turned slowly and blinked as a soft small hand rested on his arm. A willowy small woman with icy blue eyes and a evil thin smile beamed at him. "Hello handsome." She said, her voice sugary sweet. "Hello." He replied, racking his mind, did he recognize the face? Faintly... but he didn't know if he had invited her, then again, he had invited everyone in town to come... "Beautiful night is'nt it?" The girl said silkily. Her eyes did not stray from his face, she didn't even look at the beauty of the night world but looked at him straight in the eye. "You're one fine catch, you're going to be mine." She fluttered her eyelashes flirtaciously at him. "Who are you?" Syaoran asked, faintly amused by this foolish mortal. "Mila Ramayakou." She said, making her voice light and cheerful. But it was fake. Syaoran could feel it instinctively. She pulled at his collar, her face facing his. "I already know yours..." She breathed, her icy eyes looking deep and seductive as she slowly traveled her tounge across her thin lips. "Li Syaoran...." Syaoran winced, she was looking at him as if he was a peice of meat to be inspected. he pulled away. He smiled polietly. "Thank you for such a nice meeting Ms. Ramayakou." He said cooly, his eyes dull without interest. He lightly scored a polite kiss on her knuckled and quickly drew away. "But I must go, I have guests to greet and people to meet." She swayed her hips seductively, lowering her eye lids. "Then go on ahead Mr Li..." She purred. Syaoran pulled away from her talons and quickly made his escape. Foolish mortal, did she not see that he could kill her with a faint touch of his teeth against the flesh on her neck? No. She didn't and how ironic. He smirked.
Sakura's mind screamed her isolence at her. 'YOU FORGOT YOUR CARDS!' Her logical side of her mind ranted, angry with herself, Sakura chasted herself. 'Screw the cards, I can just use my plain magic.' Sakura looked uneasy, Eriol glanced at her and nodded. She knew what to do. She had seen that nod so many times, it was a daily routine. Sakura put on a confident smile. 'What makes you think I'm Ying Fa Wei?" Sakura asked, making herself look pompous. "You have her eyes, her face, her hair, her aura..." The Sprite growled. "No more games Ying Fa, life or death, you choose. Oops, there is no choice. Your final desicion is death. So be it." The sprite circled her, Sakura watched intently as Eriol started chanting a really powerful spell. Sakura cleared her throat loudly. "Ying Fa? Me? I never knew, since when was I Ying Fa?" The sprite growled, her slanted eyes narrowed. "Of course, I forgot, you're recarinated... You would'nt know..." Sakura frowned, why was everyone calling her Ying Fa? Syaoran's words came back to her mind...
**'I'm Syaoran Li! The son of a peasent from the country of Shu! You're Ying Fa Wei! Step daughter of the Duke of Lei! The fallen angel? Do you remeber now? Ying fa? SAKURA?'**
"IM NOT YING FA!" Sakura yelled outloud, fusterated at herself. Someone she thought may care for her, even if it was adsurb because he was something she must destroy, loved someone who looked like her. Not her. 'Not me... NOT ME!" The sprite stared at Sakura, suspiciously, as Sakura eyed Eriol behind the sprite. He was nearly done. The sprite stared at her. "What are you up to this time Yin-- wait a second... that Clow... he is...." She whirled around, held aloft by her skeletal wings. "YOU!" It screeched, but it was too late, Eriol's blue magic disinegrated her to black ashes, which dissappeared quickly... fading.... Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. "Is Tomoyo Ok?" Sakura asked, drawing closer. Eriol cradeled Tomoyo tightly. "She's a bit shocked, she'll be alright." Eriol said reassuringly, his face had a tired smile. Sakura felt her heart give a painful wrench. Eriol and Tomoyo, how perfect they looked with each other.
They were both dark and beautiful adn elegant.... Both mysterious and motherly/fatherly...
Sakura turned slightly, her eyes lowered to the ground. But no one loved her. Sakura smiled a fake cheery grin. "Lets go back to the party! Its almost dinner reception." Eriol shook his head, looking throughly wearied. "Its enough for today Sakura, I'm taking Tomoyo home. I have no idea how that sprite found me and I endangered the two most important females in my life." 'You mean one most...' Sakura thought sullenly. But she smiled brightly. "Ok then, I'll stay, I need a breathe of fresh air." Eriol nodded, picking up Tomoyo who was shaking. "She's in shock." Eriol said quietly as he looked at Tomoyo tenderly. "Good night Sakura." He nodded at her polietly, and left. Sakura fell unto her knees, her eyes filling with tears.
Love was so beautiful yet it never came to her.
Sakura curled up into a ball, not caring if her dress became messy. No one loved her. Everyone she had loved had become hurt. And people loved her for only three things... her body, her magic... and what or who she looked like. Sakura brought her arms to her face and wept. She felt stupid, yet a shuddering feeling went through her.
'I miss you...'
A faint voice in her head whispered, it was a familiar feminine voice. Sakura stopped crying and listened to the wind.
'Syaroran... oh Syaoran... Can you hear me? Hear me within myself? I'm trapped, trapped within myself... A memory stored away in a locked box... release me Sakura... you and I are one!'
Sakura jumped up, wipin her face. 'Whos there?" Sakura got up, slwoly rounding the garden, fully aware of the beauty around her.
'It took forever for me to be able to gather myself, wake from my drugged sleep and talk to you... I am you... you are me.... we are one...'
Sakura gasped as the scene in her dreams unfolded before her. From the balcony from the large palace like building before her, she watched as the girl in her dreams, or... herself, stood there, looking up at a man. His face was hidden by shadows. The whole entire conversation could'nt be heard... but she heard faint words....
"Please..."
"Don't turn away from me..."
"...Love you..."
"...No..."
She heard the faint sobbing from the woman who turned and ran away from the man who stood there, calling after her.
"YING FA! YING FA!"
Sakura came to a startling revelation... Like someone lit a candle within the dark corners of a room...
She must be Ying fa...
The tiny shrill voice started to echo and fade.
'I'm so tired... so tired... Sakura... please don't deny yourself any longer... don't deny us... Sakura.... my Sy...."
The voice faded off, cutting off the last word. Sakura stared at herself. She was the fallen angel. She was the fulfillment to the prophecy... But who was that man? She looked up at the balcony, but the scene was gone. It was empty, and a strong gust of wind blew across the abandoned balcony. They had dissappeared like spirits... Was Ying Fa a spirit? Was she possessed? Of course not... the spirit within her was not a violent one... it felt... so much like herself. Sakura ceased to cry, she sat upon the wooden bench and stared at the green broken grass she had been sitting on. She noticed the green grass stains on her dress, and was pricked with guilt. Tomoyo would be upset.
"Sakura?"
Sakura looked up, suprised. "S-s-syaoran?"
The vampire looked at her, his eyes held a gentle glow. "I'm sorry." He said, his voice geniune with a strange warmth. He walked closer, making Sakura's heart quicken and her cheek flush slightly. "For what? I should be sorry..." Sakura said remorsefully. He smiled. "No... dear girl..." He said, his voice a gentle caress as he looked at her beautiful delicate face, gently lit to soften her features with the moonlight. "I'm sorry for saying you are Ying Fa." He said sincerely. "You cannot be her again, you are Sakura, you are Ying Fa, but in this life, you are Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura caught his hand, which drifted near her cheek. She held his hand to her cheek. "I cannot blame you." Sakura said, her voice soft and gentle. "I am Ying Fa. She... well... I told myself that... The memories are still locked up, but I do remeber someone... and I... I don't knwo for sure if it was you... but since you loved me before I knew you I'm guessing--." Syaoran stopped, and looked at her. "Who?" "This man at the balcony." She replied, she desperately wanted to know if the lover was Syaoran. She wanted to love him, even if he was an evil dark creature. "The man who stood there at a beautiful night, telling me he loved me while I wore a green dress." Syaoran's eyebrows furrowed. "Oh... that day." His voice became sharp. Sakura cringed. But Syaoran smiled sadly. "How ironic, you remeber the few moments before your death." Sakura blinked, puzzled. "My death?" Syaoran sighed, his eyes sad. "Your death Ying Fa dear... the day where the damned man betrayed you."
Yuki knew this was happening. She was falling for him all over again! He slammed an angered fist on his wooden table and got up, pacing the floors of his small shack. 'Before I let that evil creature get her, I'll kill her myself!' She snarled to himself selfishly. 'No you should'nt.' A cold more logical part of him shot back. But Yuki made up his mind as he took out his spell book. "I have friends Syaoran." He said softly to himself. "If they know you're still alive... then they will come to kill you... You are standing in the way of Sakura's true mission... let her be!"
Sakura drew away, puzzled. "Syaoran--." He shused her, a long slender finger on his lips. "Shush, dear girl..." Syaoran drew closer, his warm lips slowly resting over hers. Sakura reveled in the bask of love. It was a gentle soft kiss. Passionate and longing.... it was sweet and short. Sakura made a small whining sound, wrapping a slender arm around his neck, she pulled him closer, making Syaoran chuckled as he kissed her more passionately, they tounges dancing in each other sweetness... Sakura pulled away, unable to breathe. "I need to go." Sakura said breathlessly, her eyes shining. "Really..." Syaoran smiled. "Go where?" Sakura smiled brightly, making Syaoran's heart sing. "Home." Sakura replied. "I have to go home. It is late... and my father will be worried..." Syaoran smiled and brought Sakura into a tight embrace. "I'll be waiting..." Syaoran said softly, his voice husky and smooth against her ear. He gently touched her cheek, her hair, her lips... and he was gone. Sakura felt herself bursting with a strange fulfillment she had never felt before. She didn't know if she was dreaming or not. But the throbbing on her lips, and her dishleveled state clearly stated that this was indeed real. She laughed joyfully, springing towards the exit. Exhulting in life... her existance, and his.
There was a strange pulsating red and black light from a strange lumpy stone which sat on a large obsidian table... There was no light expect for the red and black... the red and black light danced about the small cavern. The slow drippping of the water, and the musky smell of moss and dead things made Sakura gag. What was the stone? She kept seeing it. It pulsated in front of her. Drawing her closer till her hands just reached it. Her fingertips gently brushed the rouch surface of the stone. She was immediately engulfed in darkness and a strange evil.
There was a suffocating darkness around her, tightening its grip and making Sakura struggle to breathe. Flashes of fangs, blood, death, flesh, corpses, maniacal laughter, and a strange howl of pure evil whirled about her head. Sakura tripped and landed on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling of the cavern. Stars flew about her, blotting out the insane and deathly scenes. Sakura started to cry, like a child.
"Why are you crying? Sakura?"
Sakura looked up, she blinked, she saw her mother, standing there, looking concerened. "M-m-ma?" She croaked, her throat tight. Nadeshiko stared down at her, her green eyes meeting similar green ones. Her mothers dark black locks fell about her face in waves. "Sakura, you've been crying in your sleep again... Shhhh.... don't cry...." Sakura felt her mother gentle caress on her face. But this was impossible, her mother was dead! "Ma... I thought you were dead..." Nadeshiko smiled her beautifuls mile, similar to her daughters bright smiles. "No ones really dead till they're forgotten." She replied, her eyes winking and twinkling. "Shush, sleep child." Her mother smoothed her hair and moved away. Sakura heard a door shut. Sakura got up, confused. She was at home... What was going on? Where was her father? Mother? Brother? Sakura got out of her bed, the stone was gone, its pulsating power as well. Instead, a faint glowing caught her eye as she stared about the darkness of her room. It came from her drawers... Sakura blinked slowly and walked over to the drawer, opening it carefully. The pink diary floated out. The mysterious diary that started it all.
The pages started flipping on its own, faster... and faster.... it glowed and suddenly stopped at a page... Sakura rubbed her eyes as the light faded and the diary rested in her palms.
Entry 29
Dear Diary,
This may be my last entry. I tried to find the stone of evil and destroy it to bring balance to the lands, its my duty as a card mistress and the fallen angel.
But I failed. Right now... Syaoran is next to me, they shot his arm. (There was a blurred mark here. 'It must've been a tear....' Sakura thought.) They are turning against me! Eevryone! I can't find the stone of darkness, without that destroyed, with my power... then the world will continue this way... Oh, why did HE of all people betray me? Oh dear... Syaoran is asking for a drink of water... I know he needs blood... what can I do? He's getting blood from his wounds all over me! (The book has a smudge of blood, old and brown.) I'm trapped in this small rock crevice, its getting cold. They surrounded us. There is no escape. They told me there is no chance for a damned and tainted love like mines and Syaorans to survive... Oh... can that be true? Is that my downfall? I'm sorry... I failed everyone... Right now, the only person I have is Syaoran. He's my love. My life.

Sakura stared, Syaoran... he was in all this... she knew him before... But what was it? Who betrayed her? The words "Stone of Evil" and "destroy" became bolder, they grew upon the pages and glowed until Sakura had to close her eyes tightly to block the penetrating light.
'Destroy this evil stone... then darkness will be gone...'
The voice within Sakura's head said quietly.
'Only this way can one save the world of the damned... Only this way... only this way can we....'
The voice echoed and Sakura woke up.
The sunlight shone into her room, blinding her face. "It was a dream..." Sakura muttered, rubbing her eyes. "I should've known... It was way to bizarre..." Sakura suddenly stopped. The pink diary was lying on her bed... It wasn't there before. SHe knew she had placed it in her dresser... Sakura's eyes widened... Was the dream a warning?
Was it a prophecy?
Sakura leaned back, closing her eyes briefly, feeling a strange ominous presence, her green eyes flew open and stared out her window.
Yuki smiled thinly, this was the only way. The strang maniac like rage which bubbled within had started to swell again. God he hated that vampire. He was going to get rid of him. But first, he was going to tamper with the love affair between the angel and the vampire. Yuki rubbed his hands together. He knew they had many times of betrayal... this might be too easy. Yuki grinned crookedly as he opened his musty spell book, and his fingers rested on a yellowed gossmar page. Delicately he read the page, the gleam of pure hatred burning and lighting his eyes up. "Oh Syaoran..." He muttered, his eyes glimmering with triumph. "You will have the one who loves you the most hate you... and destroy you, like how it was meant to be..." Yuki gently shut the book, he had some work to do...
To be continued...
