Author's note: Well here's chapter 12, man this story went fast or is it because I updated fast LOL ne ways I hope you enjoy.



"We still don't know how to make her soul rest but we'll think of something" Syaoran said to his mother as they waited for Sakura to come down.

"I'm sure you and the card mistress will be safe and bring your love and children back," Yelen stated looking at her youngest child, she was so very proud of him.

"Ready?" Sakura asked walking the room full of energy, she was determined to get her little ones back and make Celesta's tormented soul rest the problem was she didn't know how. She looked at ruby moon and Cerberus that were all ready transformed.

"Yes, Cerberus and Ruby moon will take the kids and leave us to try and put her soul to rest" Syaoran answered but Sakura knew the rest, if they didn't make it back at least the children would.

"Are you sure you don't want more help?" Yelen asked, she had insisted they bring some fighters with them.

"No they wouldn't have a chance," Syaoran answered taking out the incantation slip. "I hope that all of us will get there," he added when they all moved closer together thinking about the same destination, Yelen closed her eyes when a blinding white light engulfed them.

"Oh no" Yelen whispered when only Cerberus and Ruby moon remained, they looked just as confused as she did.

"This is not good" Cerberus spoke when Yelen reached for the phone.





"Don't you two want something to eat? I know that you are hungry" Celesta said walking through the door with what looked like cereal dressed in the same white dress. "Please don't be afraid of me, this will be your knew home ever" she added placing it on the table.

"No we want to go home to our mother and father," Syaoran stated glaring at her holding onto his baby sister.

"I'm your mother now and this is your home" Celesta snapped her eyes hard. "Just understand that Gabriel" she said softly losing her hard face. "I know why don't you go outside to play but don't try to leave the yard or you'll regret it"

"Look there's people" Ying Fa spoke running to the gate but got pulled back by Syaoran. "What?"

"She said not to go up to gate, I wonder why?" he pondered out loud; taking up a rock he tossed it at the gate.

"That's why" both said in unison watching the rock disintegrate.

"The people aren't even real they're like zombies" Syaoran said making Ying Fa hold onto his arm.

"We're never going to go home are we?" Ying Fa asked fearful tears streaming down her face.

"Yes we will don't give up hope" Syaoran assured whipping her tears away. 'I know they'll come'



"Hoeee." Sakura exclaimed when they dropped through a portal; luckily Syaoran caught her and landed on his feet.

"What the hell is this place?" Syaoran spoke looking at all the old fashion houses and people walking around.

"What's wrong with them?" Sakura asked wondering why they weren't freaking out seeing them but got her answered when one walked right through her. "HOE! They're gho."

"Yeah ghosts" Syaoran finished for her; he smiled seeing that she was still afraid. "Come on lets go find our children" he spoke taking her hand.

"Yeah lets and get out of here" Sakura replied following him as they ventured in the village. "Wait" she said suddenly stopping in front of a statue.

"What's the matter?" Syaoran asked looking at Sakura who had her eyes closed.

"I remember Ying Fa telling me about this statue then she said we went right to the ladies house" Sakura quoted smiling as she and Syaoran went right. They further they walked the closer they got to Celesta's house, their heart leaped when they saw two small bodies in a front yard.

"Don't we don't know where she is" Syaoran said holding unto Sakura who was about to run off, she looked at him sadly but nodded. "Let me go, you stay here and wait" he added.

"But what if something happens?" Sakura said not agreeing to his idea.

"What choice do I have, please just stay here for now?" Syaoran answered caressing her delicate face.

"All right but if I see something that I don't like I'm coming" Sakura stated letting go of his hand, Syaoran smiled at her before walking away.



"Syaoran look" Ying Fa said excitedly pointing at the approaching figure, he looked up and smiled taking her hand they eagerly headed over to the gate.

"Are you two ok?" Xiao Lang asked making sure Celesta was nowhere in site.

"Yes but we're trapped here look" Ying Fa answered throwing a rock towards the gate.

"I see, have you tired putting up a shield?" Xiao Lang asked not liking how he was so close but yet so far, they nodded no.

"We're afraid that it won't work" Syaoran answered frowning, they watched as he picked up a rock and put a barrier round it before tossing it back through, it didn't dissolve but got burnt.

"What the" Syaoran yelled feeling himself being tied up like a puppet then dragged back wards.

"DAD!" the children screamed watching tied up on a stalk then wood place round him.

"Syaoran." Sakura shouted seeing him being tied up, she forgot what he said and rushed towards him but her path was blocked be a shield not allowing her to get near him. "Let him go" she screamed banging on it; she feared what Celesta had planned and didn't want to lose him again. "Onegai"

"No otou-san, please" Ying Fa cried Syaoran hugging her, he wouldn't shed a tear he knew that his parents would get through it 'they just have to' he thought angrily.

"Now you will pay for what you and your father did to me all those years ago Henry, You will feel the pain I did" Celesta spat venomously from the air.

"But I'm not Henry, he dead the same day you did" Syaoran yelled trying to get out of the binding rope without luck, he didn't want to die not when he was close to having a real life as a husband and father.

"Please Celesta let him go" Sakura screamed summoning her wand, she wasn't going to let anyone get in the way of her happiness or hurt her loved ones without a fight.

"Didn't I tell you that your pitiful cards are worthless?" Celesta mocked looking at Sakura. "I don't see why you want to save a man"

"I don't care but I'm not going to make you harm them, he's not like Henry" Sakura stated. "I love him"

"Love doesn't mean anything to men watch he will hurt you" Celesta retorted.

"No he will not, Fiery, lightening attack Celesta" Sakura summoned hitting both cards.

"Let's play fire with fire" Celesta yelled dogging Sakura's cards as a fireball formed in her hand.

"Jump card" Sakura yelled jumping back, from it. "Jump card return" she made three cards appear before her, she knew she was over doing it but so what this was her family. "Dash, through, shield" she yelled hitting them one by one.

"Sakura no" Xiao Lang yelled feeling her power lower drastically, she wouldn't be able to handle using five cards at once.

"Now what is she doing?" Celesta said out loud, she made a mistake watching Sakura cause it gave the two cards the opening to attack her sending her crashing to the ground smoking.

"Mother no" Syaoran yelled seeing Sakura run toward them both squeezed their eyes shut not wanting to see what you happen. Sakura too didn't know weather or not she would make it through but she had to try and she prayed that she did.

"Yes" Xiao Lang yelled seeing her get through and out with the twins, Celesta must have lost her concentration when she fell to the ground but to his dismay he still wasn't able to get free 'She must really hate men' he thought sadly. When she made it back through, Sakura fell to the ground feeling the effects of using five cards at once, Xiao Lang felt useless.

"Kaa-san you have to get up" Ying Fa said helping Sakura to her feet like Syaoran.

"Yeah we have to get dad and get out of here" Syaoran stated seeing Celesta got to her feet, her hair sticking up, a twisted look on her face.

"Not bad I under estimated you card mistress" Celesta spoke making her hair and clothing return to normal as she walked towards them. "Too bad you've worn your self out, my so called clan did teach me before shipping me off being their next in line to be leader but no women can't be a leader" she added making a sword appear in her hand.

"Stay away you witch" Syaoran growled making his sword appear. "Ying Fa help mom up"

"Isn't that cute, get out of my way child, I thought that I could make you two my babies but you are too stubborn" Celesta spoke smiling. " How about you and your sister just leave now and I won't kill you"

"No we're not leaving our parents, I'm warning you don't came any closer" Syaoran yelled not moving from out of her way.

"Wood bind her" Ying Fa yelled hitting the card, vines broke through the earth wrapping tightly around Celesta.

"Mother what other card do we use?" Syaoran asked not knowing which card would help. "I know, but I can't remember how it goes" he said closing his eyes.

"Hurry she's breaking free" Ying Fa yelled. "Try a binding spell" Syaoran mutter something under his breath but nothing happened so he started over again.

"Bind her," he finally yelled when she broke free and started to run towards them, he gulped when she stopped the sword mere inches from his throat.

"Not bad" Celesta said laughing crazily making him sweat drop.

"Syaoran, Ying Fa I want you to leave" Sakura spoke getting up, they looked at her taking their eyes off Celesta. Sakura's eyes widened and rushed towards the kids pushing them out of the way only to be sent flying backwards by incredibly force.

"Aaaaahhh" Sakura screamed when her back made contact with the wall of a house but that didn't break her speed as she went through it falling on a table breaking it, she didn't move at all.

"That was meant for you two but oh well" Celesta spoke making her way over to them, both kids quivered back in fear but stopped when their bodies were held in place by an unseen force.

"NOOOOO" Xiao Lang yelled breaking free of the rope; he grabbed his pendent making it transform pure hatred in his amber eyes. He summoned dash and raced towards Celesta, she saw him at the very last minute not having time to react, and he gave her, an incredibly vicious kicked sending her crashing into a tree ways back. He was taught not to hit women but he made an exception for her and San.

"DAD" they exclaimed hugging, Ying Fa and Syaoran wiping their tears away, Syaoran didn't want his father seeing him cry and tried to hide it.

"I want you two to stay here, if she budges give it all you've got, I'm going for Sakura" Xiao Lang stated not taking his eyes off Celesta.

"Yes father" Syaoran answered holding Ying Fa's hand, he smiled at him before speeding off towards the house; he quickly picked up Sakura's unconscious form and went back to the kids when Celesta's body started to move.

"Sakura, wake up" Xiao Lang said shaking her; hear breathing faint; he placed his hand on her transferring some of his energy to her.

"Didn't I tell you to leave" Sakura whispered her eyes slowly opening, she tried to get up but winced in pain her entire body ached all over.

"Don't move" Xiao Lang whispered looking down at her.

"Mother I'm sorry" Syaoran said frowning he was no help.

"There's nothing to be sorry about" Sakura answered softly smiling even though she was in pain.

"Isn't this cute" Celesta spat looking at them. "She's hurt why don't you leave her and take the kids like any other guy would do" she yelled through tears. "Every night I live the same scene over and over, getting betrayed by someone I loved and trusted and having my kids taken away from me while I burn"

"I'm not leaving her, I love her too much, love them too much" Xiao Lang yelled looking at her. "Not every men is alike"

"No they are all alike," Celesta yelled holding up her sword. "Curse you men"

"Please Celesta don't hurt my babies, don't take my children. Take Me," Sakura stated loud enough. "Burn me, I will not shed a tear nor will I cry out in pain," she added making Celesta come to a halt. "Let Xiao Lang and the children go but just let me take a look at them so I can remember how they look"

"NO stop saying that" Celesta yelled falling to her knees, Xiao Lang and the kids looked at her wondering what the hell she was doing. ""I will not shed a tear nor will I cry out in pain, I will come for my children and make you pay," she repeated over and over letting her tears fall to the ground.

"Celesta they're waiting for you, you just have to want to go to them" Sakura whispered letting her own tears fall, she felt herself slipping away for she knew that something was wrong inside her.

"Please Celesta my great. I don't know how much great aunt but please let us go Sakura needs medical attention" Xiao Lang stated knowing that his magic couldn't heal her she needed doctors. " I want you two to go and tell mother to call an ambulance, we will be right behind you," he whispered to his son and daughter, they nodded and she closed her eyes trying to remember the incantation before they knew it they were gone.

"I just want to see my children, I miss them so much" Celesta said not caring that Ying Fa and Syaoran were gone. "I just want to rest in peace to have them near me"



"Grand mama" Ying Fa screamed as she and Syaoran ran towards the large house, again they had fallen through the sky.

"Could you drop us any further?"

"I'm sorry but that's the best I could do" Ying Fa yelled to her brother seeing their grandmother and her aunts rush through the doors.

"Where's Xiao Lang and Sakura?" she asked hugging them.

"They will come but mother is hurt, father said to call an ambulance" Ying Fa cried hugging her grand mother.

"I'll go" Xiefia said running back inside.

"Why aren't they here yet" Syaoran said looking for them. "Maybe we shouldn't have left them"





"Please let us go, I don't want to loss her," Xiao Lang pleaded looking at Sakura who was losing consciousness.

"Syaoran go, please," Sakura whispered through tears. "Go and leave me" she tried to yell.

"No I'm not leaving you" Xiao Lang answered back hugging her to him 'I'm not leaving you'

"Mother, mother." a giggling voice said coming closer.

"Mother get up," another said sounding like a boy. "We have to go"

"We've been waiting for soo long" the first one said sadness in her voice.

"Gabriel, Gabriella?" Celesta whispered looking up from the ground as she wiped her tears away.

"Syaoran let me see" Sakura whispered, he nodded and gently lifted her up. "They're so pretty" she spoke looking at the little girl and boy come from the woods glowing white 'Syaoran, Ying Fa' she thought looking at the resemblance.

"Of course, come on mother we have to go" Gabriel answered reaching his hand out to her; they stayed the edge of the woods not coming closer. Celesta's dress and body glowed the same light as theirs as she got up smiling for the first time.

"I'm sorry I caused you trouble my descendent and your right not all men are alike" Celesta spoke looking at them before walking off to her children. "I'm sorry," she whispered taking their hands before they disappeared the giggling of the children danced on the flowing wind.

"Syaoran." Sakura whispered before everything went black.
