~*~ Author's Notes ~*~
Hey everyone! Thank you for reviewing! I'm so happy! I feel really guilty about not posting up anything on my other two fics but I will work on them as soon as this fic is finished. If I ever finished it, it feels like I'm going to eventually turn this fic into one of those never ending ones.
Special Thanks to: ~*~ Liang ReConst ~*~ hana no tenshi ~*~ pinklover ~*~ blueangelbaby ~*~ luckyduck7too ~*~ sWeEtiAzNaNgEl ~*~ KuTiExAnZxAnGeL ~*~
Thank you guys for reviewing! When I wrote this fic I thought that no one would find it interesting and almost gave up, but you guys proved me wrong. Thank you all so much. Runs off crying.
Binyaile- It's sad, she's so fragile. Starts pointing at Ghetto and laughing. Ghetto Princess- throws a dresser at Binyaile. People I choose to call friends.what is wrong with me?!
Blueangelbaby- It's ok, you don't have to apologize. Computers can be a pain, I understand. ^_^ I actually thought that you hated the idea that I liked your idea and just stopped reviewing, but I'm glad that it's not that. Not glad that your computer was broken though ---(Binayaile and Amber- clamps hand over Ghetto's mouth. I think she gets the idea!)
Hana no tenshi- I know I should have them kiss, but that would take all the fun out of torturing people. J/k.
Luckyduck7too- I'm sorry I'm confusing you! I just dream this stuff up and write it down the next day. Skeleton's kind of popped up. I was going to add phantoms with eerie green light but then I though skeletons would do just fine. Sorry ^_^
Chapter 16
"I don't like the looks of this," I said grabbing a dagger from my waist. I backed up until I was back to back against Syaoran and Boa.
"There's no need for that," a deep voice called out. I turned my attention to the first batch of skeletons that I saw and watched move.move? It was like the skeletons suddenly just came to life and moved so that there was an opening between them.
The first thing I saw after they moved were red eyes that glow against the dark background of the forest. Then the eyes began to bob up and down and that's when I noticed that whatever owned the eyes were coming closer.
It felt like years slipped by as I waited for the thing to come out in light. When it did, I swear my heart skipped at least five beats. I couldn't breath, I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything!
Kero, was standing before me in his true form only there was something different about him and I don't mean just the glowing red eyes. It was like he was dead, yet he wasn't.
"Kero?" I asked. Something about him was starting to scare me.
"That's Kero?" Syaoran and Boa asked at the same time. I could barely nod my head as I felt my heart begin to beat wildly against my ribcage.
"Come to me, my little cherry blossom," Kero called out to me. Tears weld up in my eyes as sick dread filled every ounce inside my body.
I feel my legs begin to move toward him and my arms stretch out to embrace him. I knew that something wasn't right but I couldn't stop myself from what I was doing. It was like I was under some kind of enchantment that part of me wanted to be under and then the other part didn't want any of it.
I felt a hand grab my arm and yank me back to where I was, but my legs kept moving. It was beyond my control.
"Sakura, what do you think your doing?" I heard Syaoran ask me. His voice sounded so distant and meaningless in my ears that I'm surprised that I heard him at all!
"I must go to him," I heard myself answer. My own voice sounded foreign in dangerous in my own ears. I tried to yank harder but I got pulled back even more into a tight embrace of arms.
"Are you crazy?" I heard Boa ask me from somewhere behind me. Was I crazy? No, I just needed to be near Kero.
"I must go to him, don't you understand? I need to go! Let me go!" I cried trying to push away from the arms that held me where I was.
"Sakura! Don't do it!"
That voice. It sounded familiar yet strange all at the same time. I turned toward the voice out of curiosity and saw a girl with violet hair struggling to get out of the arms of the skeletons. I know I know her.
"It's a trap! Kero is dead, that's just a demon posing as Kero," a boy with black, blue hair called out.
Kero? Dead? How can that be? Kero couldn't have been dead, I mean he's standing right here. Aww who am I kidding? Am I the biggest idiot in this world or what? It's clear that this is all a trap. I mean Kero has never called me cherry blossom just plain Sakura. He despised that nickname. Then here are the only friends that I've ever known or had in the clutches of skeletons and the only thing I can think of is, I must go to Kero.
I felt myself fall limp in whoever was holding me. Everything was coming back to me and the cold harsh reality hit me hard. I waned to die right then and there. I didn't deserve to be with these people, even if we did meet cause I'm a princess they must bring back to her kingdom.
A princess.now there's a thought that hasn't been running through my mind lately. I was really grateful about that and now I have to think about it now, and my silly mind couldn't have thought of a better time than now for me to remember what I really am.
Enough about that, I must get back to what I'm facing now. I need to show these guys that I'm strong. I need to be cause if I live to see my mother I'll have so many lives to worry about than my own.
I raised my head up and looked at my struggling friends and then to Syaoran and Boa. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath and when I reopened them they were focused on the demon Kero.
"Come to me my cherry blossom," the demon Kero said.
"No," I told him simply. My voice sounded matured saying that one simple word. 'No' that word made me feel so powerful against any enemy that was here before me.
"What did you say?" Kero asked almost shouting in disbelief. His eyes looked like they were on fire now, but it didn't faze me. I think I'm going through too many changes at once right now. Although I must say, I do like this feeling that I'm feeling now.Courage.
"I said no, demon!" I screamed it out at him standing up on shaky legs. I felt like taking my dagger and just cutting him up into tiny bit size pieces. I knew it wouldn't solve anything, but at least the time I wouldn't have to think about the reasons as into why I shouldn't kill, cause I really hate violence.
The demon Kero started to blaze with roaring flames that was almost deafening. "No one says no to me!" He cried out in a voice that made the thunder from thunderstorms be put to shame. "My armazón army attack!!!!"
The skeletons that weren't holding Tomoyo, Eriol, Cobra, and Melin, started charging to us in their silent war cries.
"Crap, there's too many of them to fight!" Boa said.
"Yeah well, I don't think we have a choice," I said getting ready to attack the skeletons.
"Sakura catch!" I turned and saw a sword being thrown to me from Boa. "I always carry extra blades with me!" she shouted before she took a few steps to block a blow aimed for her heart. In the process she cut off the skeleton's skull off as well, causing it to instantly to fall to the ground in a giant heap.
I grabbed the sword with my right hand and swung straight for the skull of the closet skeleton, then blocking and kicking him down making it stumble back falling onto another skeleton causing them to crumble.
"Where did you learn fight?" Syaoran asking me, taking down three of the skeleton warriors at the same time.
"I didn't. I don't even know how I'm doing this!" I answered back. Syaoran grabbed me by the waist and set me in back of him and fought off all the skeletons that had decided to gang up on me.
"This is getting out of hand!" Syaoran said.well more like mumbled. Which part was getting out of hand, these skeleton warriors or me?
"Your telling me," I heard Melin say ducking a blow to the head and stomach.
"I thought you were captured!" Boa yelled.
"We were but we managed to get free," Cobra told her.
"Well, they should have tried harder on keeping you!" Boa said loud enough so that I think everyone heard.
"Aww Boa!" Cobra asked in a whinny voice. He swept-kicked a skeleton warrior causing the one behind it to slip on its head and fall to a heap. "Don't you love me anymore?"
"I never loved you to begin with!" Boa answered. I don't think I'm even that mean to Cobra. I don't think that Tomoyo and Melin are that mean to him. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for him.kind of, sort of, not really, but that's not the point I'm trying to get at.
"That really hurts," Cobra replied knocking down two more skeletons.
"This is the last time I choose skeletons to do my work," I heard the demon Kero say in an annoyed voice. "Let's go!" he roared and like magic, the skeletons and the demon Kero was gone.
"This is my life," I mumbled.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Eriol asked me.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shook up that's all." I felt tears forming in my eyes and I quickly blinked them back. I had no idea what has came over me today. I can sense things now like movement and bad things to come. I can fight. I've never fought a day in my life until now and somehow I'm this huge expert with a sword!
"You know Sakura, it's alright to cry sometimes," I heard Tomoyo whisper in my ear.
I shook my head and leaned against the sword that I was using for support. "No, it's not alright. I need to be strong," I told her walking over to Boa to give her sword back.
"No, no, you keep it. I want to give it to you as a gift," Boa told me.
I looked down at the sword for the first time since I've had it in my hand. It was beautifully breathtaking! The hilt looked like it was made out of pure gold with pink gems and whit diamonds embedded. The blade gave off a soft silvery glow with a pink and white gem near the tip. "Where did you come across something this beautiful?" I asked still in awe.
"It was the first weapon I ever made. I spent at least three years on it and even though everything about it is perfect I can't even fight with it without feeling awkward. Yet when you use it, it's like the sword was made just for you," Boa said looking back and forth from me to the sword. The others gathered around me to look upon the sword. "I could make the perfect scabbard for it if I had the material," Tomoyo whispered.
"Boa, you actually made this? Have you made any others?" Syaoran asked.
"I've made others, but none of them could compare to that sword," she said pointing to my first sword ever.
"I don't deserve this," I said quietly.
"Of course you do! You're the only person I've ever known to be able to handle that sword. You were destined to have it! And I am honored for it's owner to be no other than the Skyling Princess herself," Boa said.
"What talking about?" Eriol asked calmly. Yet in his eyes you could see he was a little worried.
"It's obvious! No on is as sweet as her, no one can suddenly wield a sword and fight better than the veterans. It's impossible, yet it isn't for the Skyling Princess. Besides, she has the mark upon her forehead," Boa said pointing to me.
"How do you know all of this?" Melin asked pulling out a dagger.
"No need for that Melin. I used to live in the Skyling Forest. My ancestors were warriors of the skyling," Boa said smiling gently toward us.
"Then how come we've never met you?" Tomoyo asked.
"Because after my mother died, my father decided he didn't want me to live a life of a warrior. He wanted me to live like other girls in the villages around her. So he moved us to the village that got burned and I was raised there," Boa said sitting down before continuing. "My father used to tell me stories about the Skyling Princess and the kingdom. He told me how the people lived with the skyling in peace and how they acted as one. The humans protected the skyling and the skyling protected the humans. Other than that I don't know much more about the Princess or the kingdom. Yet, here I sit in front of her, the Princess of the Skyling," Boa said sighing.
"You make it sound like a bad thing," Cobra said putting his arm around Boa's shoulders.
As if on reflex she pushed him away. "I didn't mean for it to sound like a bad thing," Boa said annoyed.
"You should," Melin replied. I swear she gets more and more confusing by the day. She's mean to me, then she's nice, and now I don't know what's wrong with her. Maybe she caught Syaoran's emotional state thingy.
"Melin." I heard Syaoran's voice warning her. Melin just snorted and sat down where she stood, not even bothering to put away her weapons.
"So.what's next?" I asked.
"We go to your mother," Tomoyo said.
"Yeah I know that we've been doing that but what do we do before we get there?" I asked.
"I don't want to have to risk going into another village," Melin said crossing her arms.
"Yeah.we're better off staying out in forests to sleep..well, except for this one," Tomoyo said rubbing her arms.
"I have to agree on the girls with this one Syaoran. What do you think?" Eriol asked walking up to Tomoyo. Gees they make the cutest couple! It's like their perfect for each other!
"I still don't understand one thing," Syaoran said pointing at me.
"What?" I asked him playing with the blade of my sword.
"Your sudden knowledge on how to fight. You fought better than.all of us put together and you said you didn't know how." Syaoran said still looking at me as he shook his head.
"I honestly don't know. That was the first time that I've ever fought before and the first time I've ever held a sword. I've held daggers and knives before but that's only when I'm cooking or I'm tending to the wounds of animals." I looked around. "Where's Kero? I want to show him." my words trailed off. How could I forget so quickly. Kero's dead.and he's never going to be with me ever again to yell at me or give me hugs I'll never be able to hear his voce anymore or ask him for advice.
Pain hit me in my heart instantly. It hurt too much not to let it out through tears. So I cried. I cried like a baby that had just been taken away from its mother. Kero was the only family that I had ever really known and then a blink of and eye, he's gone. Forever.
"Sakura.We're sorry about Kero." I barely heard Tomoyo say. I wanted to tell them that it was alright, that I would get over it. Then I'd be lying to them and my self and that's something I didn't want to do.
I shook my head and wiped my face. I ripped off a piece of my dress so that there was a slit to kick better. Then I did the same to the other side and took the pieces that I had ripped out and tied them around my waist after I made sure they were loosely twisted and stuck my sword in between.
"Let's just get moving before the sun goes down. I don't want to be here when it gets dark," I said before walking off to where the demon and his skeleton army had vanished. Before I reach my mother's kingdom, I want to seek revenge for the demon that killed Kero.
It was sad. Kero died and I'm an evil person now. Well, eviler than I was when I left you guys on that cliffhanger in chapter 15. But hey, I didn't leave you hanging too long did I? Well, thank you everyone for reviewing this fic it really means a lot to me that you guys do.
