Chapter 5

Memories of the Lost...

are unregainable?

Syaoran felt his heart aching. He loved her, he wanted to feel her caress for the first time...someone's carass. He never had felt anyones touch without pain.. but Sakura's he had to feel her soft skin..

"Sakura-e..."

"Hai?"

Syaoran held his hands out to her.

"What do you want me to do Syaoran? If I touch you, it will hurt you!" Sakura exclaimed.

Syaoran tried to look comforting. "Please. You don't know how much I yearn to feel someone's touch...your touch...Sakura-e...zee.."

Sakura still heasitated, but at the pleading in Syaoran's eyes, she slowly grabbed his hands. In a gentle clasp.

First the touch burned, but that was only for an instant. Soon a cool feeling ran up his arms, wonderous. Then normal. For Syaoran it was a feeling beyond description...heaven..

"Syaoran, this doesn't hurt?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran shook his head. "No...it feels cool...normal. Soft..."

Before either of them knew it, they were lip to lip. Passion running through both of them.

Outside the sun was setting, so shadows had filled the room.

Syaoran was in pure heaven. For the first time...someone's touch, and carass and lips didn't hurt.

____________________________________

Syaoran opened his now red-streaked eyes a crack. He realized that he was trembling.

"Bad dream Syao-a?" Aku asked mockingly.

"No," returned Syaoran crankily. It really hadn't been scary, but that dream seemed so real. Almost as if it had happened before. That is what had him shaking. On top of that, it had been about that girl. About Sakura. Weren't they supposed to be enemies?

Syaoran shook his head with confusion and annoyance at his thoughts. The whole thing was annoying the hell out of him. "I need to maim something," he mumbled.

Aku slung an arm over his brother's shoulder, and pulled him close. He leaned down and whispered into Syaoran's ear. "Well, a battle field is waiting for us, quynirz." (brother) "The battle begins. Come on. Let's fight the menace together. Destroy together."

"Ha..." (Yes)

Yelan had straightened up, and calmed herself. She reasoned that if Earth harbored that no good hiratonoi Aku, then Earth was also still the enemy. She would get her beloved son Syaoran back. No matter if it destroyed such a worthless planet as Earth.

People had gathered at the base of Tokyo Tower. Now they parted or died as Yelan's army appeared down on the ground, marching for Tomoeda. It would take no time at all. The Serai soldiers had magic to help out their stamina and speed on marches.

They arrived in Tomoeda in less than an hour. Amazing speed. Yelan was proud of them all for making it this fast. Even normaly this speed couldn't be managed. A breif feeling of happiness washed over her at the thought of getting Syaoran from Aku and back to normal. Syaoran was not the one of prophesy merder!(damn it)

An explosion echoed across the ranks. Screams of dying Serainean and humans alike filled the air. Instantly Yelan and the remaining soldiers put up a defense and prepared a retaliation blow.

"What a pretty sheild you have there. What fun it will be to shatter it!" a voice cackled. A laugh without mirth.

Yelan froze. That voice...

Chanting grew louder in the ranks as the blast was near release. On a final shout, a beam of light arched off in the direction of the trail of power left from the attack. More human's homes and lives were taken in the way of that blast.

"How pathetic. Is that all you can come up with? At this rate, I won't have to do much to get rid of Earth...you'll do that for me by trying to kill me," the voice taunted coldly.

"Then show yourself!" Yelan shouted out in Japanese, seeing as the assailiant was using that particular language.

He stepped out of the shadows.

Yelan's heart went cold. "S-syaoran...Aku wasn't lying..." Yelan took in the green-streaked hair, the red-streaked eyes, and the black leather. Her brow furrowed and the pain in her heart dwindled. "You are no longer my son..."

Syaoran smirked. It didn't look right on that face that had been gentle, even when he was angry or just feeling emotionless. Not on her baby's face...that sadistic look...no............

He raised a hand and shoved at the air.

The sheild cracked.

He didn't even utter one word of a spell.

And that was the begining of hell surfacing on Earth.

Sakura ran as fast as she could, trying to keep up with Yue and Keroberous. It was hard, for they flew and she ran. Keroberous still was in his human form with wings.

They had run out suddenly, claiming that the battle had started. Something was eating at Sakura's conscince though.

"Ano, Yue-san, what side are we fighting on?" She called up to the Erebus angel.

Yue didn't answer right away, but instead swooped down and scooped Sakura up. "You're too slow like that," he explained.

"Yue-san...please...let me know. What side? Earth or Serai?" she asked, shouting over the wind that rushed

Yue sighed. "Sakura. It is not as simple as that. If we fight with Serai, we could be contributing to the apocolypse. If we fight with Earth, then we could be accused of joining sides with Aku. We need to stop it. Save all of the worlds."

"Oh..." Sakura sighed. "That would mean we'd be fighting on both sides...cause if we were neutral, then we wouldn't be fighting at all...and...hoe...that's confusing..."

Yue stared at Sakura's honey-colored head for a moment. "Naive for someone who is seventeen," he commented under his breath.

Sakura managed to hear that anyways. "Yes...I am naive," she sighed sadly, "I always have been I suppose. Even moreso about Syaoran...I was stupid to think that they wouldn't affect him...I was too stupid to...to..b-belive t-t-that h-he w-would still be......." Sakura broke off, tears streaming down her face. She managed to turn around in Yue's arms and bury her head into the Erebus guardian's chest. Racking sobs made her body shake.

"Holy shit!" Kero shouted.

Yue sent him a glare for using that kind of language. Yue got a tounge stuck out in return.

"What is it Keroberous?" Yue asked, his patience wearing thin with the normally hyper-genki Htrae creature.

"Open your eyes and look ahead of us Yue!" Kero shouted, coming very close to hysteria.

Yue looked away from Kero and straight ahead. His felt his blood run cold as he took in a sharp breath. A huge section of Tomoeda, was gone. There was nothing left but charred corpses and houses. The ground also seemed to be coated with dark blood. A strange feeling hung in the air. One that Yue couldn't quite place.

"Yue...it feels as if...as if there is something more destroyed here than what we are seeing now," Kero stated hesitantly as they floated over the wreakage.

Yue nodded. But what was it that was gone as well? And what was that thing that he seemed to only feel. Kero didn't seem to notice that second feeling either. It felt...as if the dead were....

Yue concentrated for a moment, humming deep in his throat. A spell to scan the dead spirits of this area. He recoiled on instant, and flew higher above the wreckage away from what he had just felt.

"Yue, what is it?!" Kero asked alarmed.

Yue now had a startled look plastered to his face, instead of the normal cold emotionless look that tended to dominate his pale features.

"Kero...the spirits of the dead here...there are none....this was recent enough that the spirits should still be lingering on Earth. They can't have passed on to Erebus to be judged and sorted yet. I don't see anyone here to escort them either. Kero...the very souls of these people were killed. And in their place...is an evil...something that will destroy both of us if we come near it....I...it's hard to explain," Yue whispered quietly. The closest thing to a whimper he would ever make.

Kero stared in disbeilief.

Sakura lifted her head, becoming active and responsive for the first time in ten minutes, and since the begining of this conversation.

"How?" she asked, her voice hoarse from the crying she had been doing.

"I don't know..." Yue answered softly.

"If Yue doesn't know how, then we are in serious trouble...if something like like...that could be possible," Kero stated, gesturing to the area of destruction. "That evil so to say, was what I was feeling...and to my eyes it is now appearing as a black hole. Normal eyes wouldn't be able to see it. I just can't imagine why I didn't see it before, and why we didn't sense this happening..."

Sakura looked into Yue's eyes. "Yue-san, please set me down there."

"NO!"Kero and Yue shouted at the same time.

Sakura became determined. "It probably will only effect those with magic, for think. It was aimed at Seraieans, and seeing how strong Syaoran was when he fought for me, they would be Aku and....the new...Syaoran," she had a hard time when she came to Syaoran's name, "their biggest threat, ne? So I might not get hurt. And I'll take this off, so maybe I wont be sensed." Sakura gestured to the pendant around her neck.

Kero sucked in a breath, and Yue stared with a 'no way in hell' look.

"That would be too dangerous! We promised Eriol that we'd protect you!" Kero shouted.

"She's right though. It wouldn't affect her at all. Now meeting up with me, will...."

"TIHS!" Kero bellowed, recognizing the voice. "Why the hell can't we sense him?!"

"We have to get Sakura out of here...she's been traumatized over this enough. We can't make it worse for her having to see Syaoran die!" Yue exclaimed, instantly sheilding himself.

"Iie!" Sakura protested angrily. "You won't have to kill him, and I'm not leaving!"

"Don't make her leave...." Syaoran's voice called in a sing song, whine. "I want to pllllaaaaayyyyyyy....."

Kero mumbled something under his breath, and fire emitted from his outstretched hands, encircling himself and Yue. Extra protection against Syaoran's powers.

Then Syaoran appeared.

"You know, you came a bit too late to help the Serai forces. Most of them are now dead, without a resting place for their souls. Souls are easy to destroy if you try hard enough. Yelan still lives unfortunatly," Syaoran informed them, in a bord voice.

Yue and Kero didn't respond, just kept up the sheilds. They couldn't do anything against Syaoran's powers.

Sakura however, had an outburst. "How can you say that about your own mother?! My kami Syaoran....what did he do to you...?" she cried.

Syaoran developed a funny look. It dissapeared as quickly as it came, and was replaced by an uncharecteristic smirk.

"Playtime ends now I guess. Time for the serious battle, whilist Aku-a, finds that woman Yelan," Syaoran sighed.

The sheilds cracked, and Yue had no idea why.

Syaoran had Sakura in an instant. Some form of teleportation that Yue could even begin to comprehend.

Both he and Kero went at Syaoran, but at the icy glare in his eyes, the guardians were frozen in midair. Literally.

"Syaoran...why do you want to kill me? Why do you want to destroy?" Sakura asked softly, as she was held up by the neck of her t-shirt by Syaoran.

"Who said anything about killing any of you three right now?" Syaoran laughed.

Yue realised. The pendant! Eriol!

Sakura apparantly realised this as well, for she instantly brought her hands up to cluch at it.

"No! Don't------"

Syaoran cut her off. "This time it won't react. This time it won't save you Sakura. And I'll destroy this...and it will destroy Eriol of Amore." The strange sadistic light in his eyes grew brigther, as her tore Sakura's hand away from that little star.

The light that burst forth from it to defend Sakura and itself, didn't effect Syaoran. Nothing phased him...

Syaoran levitated it in his hadn, and sent the infamous Serai 'death glare' at it.

The star cracked.

Then it shattered.
