A/n: as a special bonus, here is Chapter 6 as well as chapter 5. :) lets just say as an apology for taking so god damn long on updates...although continue bashing Aku as much as you want! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS. That should be VERY evident by now.

Chapter 6~

EREBUS: One hour before the events in the previous chapter

Eriol had found what he had been looking for ever since he made it into Erebus, and ever since he got the clearance to access the prophesies located in the Records Room. It was a good thing that Eriol was fluent in the song-like language of Erebus. It had taken a very long time to convince the angels to let him in this room.

After all, the future is not meant to be known by those truly living.

But Eriol, had to see if what was occuring was really the legendary San Yuuhi Prophesies. There were even tales of it on Earth, from what he knew, for the worlds were taught as lengend and mythology. Very few people believe in prophesy, and the other dimensions on Earth.

Oh well. He had found it, and was now scanning through the first volume. On the cover was the word ARRIVAL, written in English letters. The prophesies themselves were written in Japanese.

"Amazing...considering that most prophesies come from here, or Amore, and even Serai....never from Htrae or Earth. San Yuuhi Prophesies....Three Setting Suns..." Eriol murmured as he scaned through it.

His eyes widened a bit. Then he moved to the second one - BATTLE. He was a fast reader, for in Amore knowledge was highly saught after, so they read a lot, which gave those elfen people extrodinary reading powers.

Those blue eyes of his became startled when he came to the last chapter.

Then came the pain.

All over him was sharp stining pain, as cuts appeared on their own in his pale skin. Eriol's blood sprayed from each wound, running in rivulets on his arms, and from his head.

"The...s-star...h-as been broken! S-sakura...is...helpless," Eriol gasped out, collapsing on top of the open book that was the prophesy BATTLE. His blood stained the table he had been sitting at and the white pages of the book.

With determination, Eriol struggled up and reached to the book--PROPHESY. His hand shook and continued to bleed as he opened it. His eyes became very startled at what he saw there.

Eriol's heart slowed. The blood flow slowed with it. Eriol fainted, breathing shallowly. It would take a long time for him to truly die.

BATTLE was still open, Eriol's right hand still stretched on it. The part that was left unstained by deep red blood read:

The blue-eyed Guardian will fall. Covered in blood, and seeking for truth.

That of Amore will fall not from a direct cause, but in protection.

Serving Earth, the center of all the worlds.

He will die in Erebus.

Eriol had read his death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kero felt tears well involentarily in his eyes. With the shattering of that star, he knew that Eriol had shattered as well. Eriol had been a long time friend of Kero, especially when the smart not-really-a-kid visited Htrae.

Now that person was gone...forever.

Anger welled up in Kero. Anger at Syaoran. He didn't care if Aku had contorl over the boy. An urge to kill assailed him anyways.

"I ma gniog ot llik uoy!!" Kero screamed, forgetting to speek in Japanese for Sakura. Frankly, he didn't give a damn. He knew Syaoran would understand him.

Kero flapped his wings, and prepared to relinquish his human form.

Syaoran smirked at him, and held Sakura up higher, and turned her to face the feisty Htrae guardian.

"If you attack me, this precious little Earth Guardian will be killed in the process. Of course, it wouldn't bother me," Syaoran growled in a semi-seductive voice.

Kero felt Yue grab him from behind and hold him, as he prepared to charge nonetheless.

"Don't! She is officialy the guardian of this planet Kero, and if you kill her, nothing will stop Aku and Syaoran from destroying everything!" Yue hissed in Kero's ear.

"Now, which one of you will die in her place? I need to kill one more here, but I'd rather save Sakura for last," Syaoran cooed.

"What makes you think that you are going to kill anyone you--you--HIRATUNOI!" Kero screamed. Leave it to Kero to know cuss words in other languages from other worlds.

Syaoran frowned, and held Sakura a bit closer.

Kero tried lunging again, but was still restrained by Yue.

Syaoran smirked at the two Guardians in the air here. All he had to do was suck the soul out of one. Like what happened to all that had opposed him here. It was a lot of fun actually. And at least Aku wasn't bothering him right now.

He pulled Sakura close to his chest. Something in himself did not want to kill her. So he would be happy taking the life of either that tesh hu wezi Kero, or Yue. (trans: shit for brains). The loudmouth would be a great sacrifice.

Syaoran bent his neck down, and slowly dragged his tongue up Sakura's neck. That action brought a flood of memory that was unexpected.

~~~~~~~~~~@Memory Sequence (a.n: this was not seen in Arrival.)

She kept egging him on, after saying that it was okay. That she wanted what they were about to do.

So he took it slowly, enjoying every sensation of her touch, and enjoying touching her. He dragged his tongue down the sensitive skin of Sakura's neck. She had a sweet, sweet taste...one Syaoran enjoyed greatly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@End Memory Sequence

Syaoran immeadiatly jerked his head back up.

It was a good thing, for Kero had gotten away from Yue, and was bariling straight for Syaoran.

Syaoran dropped Sakura, and made sure to have her set on the ground carefully. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yue immeadiatly go to Sakura.

A fist connected with the side of Syaoran's jaw. A fist encircled with fire.

Syaoran let out a scream of immense pain. It wasn't just the fire. It was the contact.

It hurt again.

On some hidden instinct, Syaoran lashed out with the full power of his power, through that glare.

Kero let out his own scream as his arm was torn from his body. That was the only part of Kero that Syaoran had managed to put in his sight.

"Y. ma. zip. qu. likil. to-pi!!!!!!!" Syaroran bellowed, punctuating each word with a deadly attack from his mind. (trans: I. am. going. to. kill. you!)

Kero bellowed with pain as he was ripped limb from limb, his blood raining down from the sky.

Syaoran teleported over to where Kero was falling, and grabbed the mangled mass that remained of the once-sprightly creature.

"Before you die, Htrae spawn, I am going to make sure that you can never be reborn. I am going to make sure that there is no Sunai for you." Syaoran snarled.

He closed his eyes and concentrated.

Blackness washed over Kero's gasping remains. It all turned black and crumbled to dust, leaving the same evil residue that was in the whole area.

Syaoran let out a laugh that set fear into Yue and Sakura's heart.

Mirthless, and maniacal.

In short, Syaoran was now as insane as his brother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yelan cried into her hands, in the ruin that she had curled up in. She now couldn't handle the fact that Syaoran had been turned into as much as a monster as Aku.

All of her soldiers were dead. It hadn't been as long as a battle that it was supposed to be. It had been short. Terrifyingly and bloodily short.

"There is no hope for my son. Or the one that used to be thought of as my son. There is no hope at all..." Yelan cried. "It has all been in motion since Syaoran's both. The Three Setting Sun Prophesies. There is nothing I can do..."

Desolate, Yelan, found a sharp piece of glass from what used to belong to a window.

"I will take out as much of the evil here as I can...with my blood," she told herself, for strength.

Yelan crawled out from the space, and walked toward that black hole that was in the middle of the ruins. The hole that only those with magic could see. She heard laughter, and whiped around and scanned the sky.

Syaoran.

Hopefully he wouldn't see her. Hopefully her death could help bring her baby back to normal.

"Yo teizy...Y ameriz to-pi," she whispered, raising the glass high.

He caught sight of her, just as she stabbed herself.

Syaoran saw the Yelan woman. He saw her stab herself, and saw her blood run out, and begin to glow. A spell to cleanse all evil, a spell that took the casters life to cast.

Something inside snapped, and he yelled, without knowing it, "THEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!" with every inch of emotion that he could force into his voice. (trans: Therm = mother)

The woman looked at him and smiled. "Y ameriz to-pi Syaoran-a. Yo teizy...le teh...hier hu hosa, shichni tefa...oip to-pi..." Yelan managed to get out, blood flowing from her mouth. She then collapsed. (Trans: I love you Syaoran. My son...win the...battle for yourself, before fate...takes you...)

Syaoran didn't know why but tears spilled from red streaked eyes, glowing in the sunset. He landed on the ground, and ran to his fallen mother in her blood. Blood that had killed the spell Syaoran had left here.

"Therm....to-pi...rei yo therm...?" Syaoran choked out, cluching the dead woman's body close. (trans: Mother...you...were my mother...?)

Footsteps approached him, and a barrier went up instantly. "Don't come near me!" he shouted out in Japanese.

"Syaoran..." Sakura whispered with pity.

Syaoran turned and glared at her through his barrier. "I DON'T NEED PITY FROM SOMEONE I DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!" he shouted, causing Sakura to jump back. She looked hurt. Something in Syaoran regretted making her hurt. Syaoran sighed, and spoke to her mind. Listen carefully. I want you to meet me at midnight in the park. ALONE! I promise I will not kill you...I swear. Don't tell Yue about it either. There is a spot in that park where energies from years ago rendered it magicless. I can't use my powers there. meet me at the cliff.

Then Syaoran disappeared along with his mother's body.

Sakura wondered about that message. She had to trust Syaoran, she had to get him back to normal. But that was for later. Now she and Yue had set up a grave marker for Kero, and Eriol. And they were paying their last respects.

Sakura lay a flower blossom down in the little mound of ashes they had managed to find of Kero, and on the shattered star. That blossom hadn't been harmed at all. Neither had any of the cherry blossom trees around here.

"May you rest in peace. Thank you for your bravery and your help," Sakura whispered, tears running down her cheeks for the second time that day.

Yue kept all the greif he truly felt inside. He had to be strong now, and survive protecting the magicless Sakura. He noticed the cherry blossoms though.

Sakura....and sakura...the same thing. Cherry Blossom. The sakura are untouched by Syaoran's power...

Maybe Syaoran did remember the one that loved him, and that he loved in a hidden part of his mind.

Time would only tell. As they ended this battle, to save anymore worlds from falling. Amore, would now be in chaos, so would Htrea. Those worlds weren't built to survive without their Guardians. Although, new ones could be appointed.

Time will only tell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Part 2.
