Beating the Illness

By MoshiMoshiQueen!!

(Me talking)

"Talking"

~Thoughts~

The plane ride to China was long and restless. All Syaoran could think about was how he was going to win the fight against Xizo (ok I realized that I changed his name from Zing to Xizo but I am keeping the name Xizo on so if you read over the other chapters when I said Zing I meant to say Xizo.)

Sakura held his hand tightly. She knew what he was thinking about. The fight that he was risking his whole life for.

She whispered to him, "No matter how the fight goes I will still be by your side."

He smiled and held her hand tightly.

The made it to China and they all got there bags and headed for the Li Mansion where the fight would be held.

Then Ling popped up in front of them, "My master is awaiting your arrival his says, to Master Syaoran, that it will be a great fight." Said Ling bowing.

"Thank you Ling tell him that my son will be awaiting a great fight." Said Yelan.

Ling bowed and whispered to Syaoran, "You are sure to win Master Syaoran, teach him how the Leader of the Li Clan should fight." She said smiling. (Well I just want to tell you all that Ling is not all bad just because she works for Xizo. Ling is being played by none other than me Moshi-san!!)

"Good luck Master Syaoran." She said bowing and disappearing.

Yelan smiled, ~Ling is a one of a kind child. I can't believe she is only two years older than my little Syaoran. ~

Yelan looked at her son and smiled, ~he really is just like his father. ~

Fanren looked at her mother and knew what she was thinking. Her little brother was growing up and he was turning into her father. She smiled at the thought.

"So cute descendent, plan on marring and time soon?" asked Eriol smiling evilly.

Syaoran blushed a deep crimson and so did Sakura.

"I think you are going to marry before me Eriol-san." He said looking a Tomoyo.

Eriol grabbed Tomoyo's hand and said, "Hmm maybe you are right."

Tomoyo blushed. (Lots of blushing going around ^_^!!)

They finally made it to the Li Mansion.

Sakura looked all around and began to get kind of scared. Soon Syaoran would be fighting for his place in the Li Clan.

Syaoran grabbed her hands and smiled, "Every thing will be are right. Remember I promised that I would never give up with out a fight."

Yelan went and stood in front of the huge gate and smiled.

"Ling please come out of hiding and open the gate."

Ling jumped down from a tree and landed in front of Eriol-san, "good to see you all again." She said while bowing.

 Ling said a spell and it opened the gate. "Master is awaiting in the garden." She said leading them into the mansion.

Ling smiled and opened the door to the garden, which was beautiful. It had many different colored flowers all around it and a ring in the middle.

"Master did not like the idea of keeping the garden but I insisted on keep your hard work Mistresses." Said Ling.

Syaoran remember how much hard work his sisters put into the garden every summer and was glad that Ling kept it this way.

"Master, Master Syaoran had arrived. Should I go and get the elders to let the fighting begin."

"Yes lets get this fight over with."

Ling bowed and disappeared.

"It is nice to see you again Syaoran." Said a boy with black hair coming out.

"I can't say it is the pleasure to see you." Said Syaoran glaring at him.

Sakura hid behind Syaoran holding his hand tightly.

"Well you sure have changed a lot since the last time I saw you." The boy said smirking.

"So have you." Syaoran was trying not to get angry so he held Sakura's hand really tight.

Sakura looked up at him, "Syaoran remember you promised me that you would never give up with out a fight."

"Yes and I will keep my word."

"I love you." She said kissing his cheek.

Syaoran blushed and kissed her forehead.

Before Xizo could say anything to the couple Ling popped up with four other men.

"Master the elders are ready if you are."

"Yes lets begin."

Syaoran and Xizo got in to middle of the ring, dressed in their fighting outfits.

"The rules are you both get to pick your weapon and magic is aloud. But what ever you do, you can not kill the opponent." Said Ling popping up holding Syaoran's sword and another black sword that Sakura thought was Xizo's.

Ling walked over to her master and handed him his sword and walked over to Syaoran and handed him his.

"Remember that fire is not just used to warm souls, it is one of the most powerful elements that is used against others who have gifts of ice and water." She said before disappearing.

Before Syaoran could think about what she said Xizo started to attack him.

"It seems like little Syaoran has a girl friend that is so sweet." Xizo said sarcastically.

"It seems to me that poor little Xizo could never get a girl friend. Spoiled little brat." Said Syaoran swinging his sword at him.

Sakura and the others watched as Xizo tried many times to hit Syaoran but he would always block Xizo's moves which was making Xizo really upset.

"I will never let you win Xizo. You will have to kill me first." Said Syaoran cutting his shoulder.

Xizo jumped back and touched his shoulder. "You will pay for that Syaoran." Then ice and water started circling around Xizo.

"This is how I passed my test lets see you get past this." Said Xizo shooting the ice around Syaoran.

"Syaoran!!!!" yelled Sakura as the ice hit Syaoran's body circling around him.

Sakura saw Syaoran trying hard to keep standing but the ice was cutting him up badly. There was no way he could win but Sakura knew some how that he would win. Because he had the strength inside him.

"Remember Syaoran you promised me!!" Sakura yelled.

Syaoran's point of view

I heard Sakura yelling to me and I knew what she was saying, I had promised her and I was trying as hard as I could to get up but the ice was cutting every part of my body. Slowly my clothing was turning to ice. It kept circling me I could not even see through it.

Ling popped up wearing a blue dress that matched the ice and her eyes were crystal blue. "Remember that fire is not just used to warm souls, it is one of the most powerful elements…"

Her words kept spinning in me head. "That is used against others who have gifts of ice and water."

Then Sakura's words spun in my head, "You promised me you would never give up with out a fight…"

"Fire is not just used to warm souls, but it is one of the most powerful elements…"

"My son I know that you will pass the test." His mother's words echoed in his head.

Tomoyo, Eriol and his family flashed threw his mind.

He slowly got up and held tightly to his sword.

Sakura's point of view

Sakura watched as Syaoran grabbed his sword and started to stand up.

She looked at Ling who was standing on the top of the Li Mansion. She was dressed in a blue dress and her eyes had gone a dull blue. She was sending Syaoran the thoughts of all of his family and friends.

Sakura than thought, ~"I know you can win Syaoran please fight for me and your family."~

Syaoran's point of view

Syaoran had heard what Sakura had thought and he stood up.

"I will not lose to Xizo, I will take my place as the Li Clan Leader." Syaoran stood up and closed his eyes. "I call upon the spirits of the fire bird!! Help me warm this deep storm of ice!! Lend me your powers!"

A bird appeared it was completely made out of fire.

The bird then circled Syaoran and Syaoran started to float in the air with the firebird picking him up on its wings.

Everyone's point of view

Syaoran stood upon the huge bird and the ice storm slowly melted away.

The bird landed and let Syaoran off. He picked up his sword and charged at Xizo and knocked him down.

"You can't get rid of me that easily." Said Syaoran.

Xizo was shocked of the events that had just happened right in front of his eyes.

Xizo jumped up but he was to slow Syaoran came up to him and knocked him into a tree.

"I believe the words are I surrender to Syaoran. Or do you still want to fight." Said Syaoran walking slowly up to Xizo.

Xizo got up, "I will never surrender."

Xizo tried to hit Syaoran with his sword but Syaoran punched him to the ground.

"Still want to fight?" Syaoran said picking him up off the ground.

Xizo knew he could not win so he said. "I surrender."

Syaoran dropped him to the ground and started to walk away.

Xizo got up and was about to hit Syaoran with his sword.

"Syaoran watch out!!!" yelled Sakura.
