A/n: I am truly sorry about the delay. I haven't been really into CCS for awhile, but then I decided to try working on this thing again. My writer's block went away. n_n At least for this story. I know many have wanted to find out what happened, so here we go! Chappie 2!
Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura at all. That belongs to CLAMP. But I own the Serai language. (although I need to find the notebook I wrote it all down in).
~Chapter 2~
Syaoran stared at the girl. Now that he was here, he didn't know what the hell to do. That nagging urge to kill her, to destroy her along with this world wouldn't go away. He shoved it to the back of his mind. At least the burning had stopped...although now Tokyo Tower was most likely still on fire after his 'attack.'
"Syaoran," Sakura whispered. She took a step towards him as if unsure whether or not she was truly safe.
Syaoran held up a hand. "Stay there. Don't come any closer Sakura," he instructed in a tone that plainy said not complying would bring about her death.
"What did you want?" she asked quietly.
Syaoran detected fear heavy in her voice. Fear and...relief? A tinge of happiness? Attraction? He shook his head slightly to clear his mind. No time for that. He studied her for a moment and said nothing. Moonlight gave her a glowing nimbus. She looked like the angels in the Serai legends. It almost took his breath away. Almost.
"You had me come out here for a reason. I had to sneak past Yue to get here, so tell me whatever it is you wanted to tell me," Sakura urged gently.
"Sakura, I need to tell you...I'm....not the same am I?" his staement became a question. He was surprised to here pleading in his voice.
Sakura looked shocked for a moment, but then shook her head. "No. You aren't the same. You were sweet, caring, gentle, and afraid of human contact, afraid to hurt me. But your brother changed you. That's all we could have figured happened to you Syaoran."
Syaoran hung his head for a moment. "Sakura, most of my mind is empty. Closed off. Doors inside my head opened, but I can't reach them. I was the cause of my mother's death, that's what set it off. I wanted to tell you that something inside of me wants to be the way it used to be. It wants to be with you, in peace. But then...there is also an urge to kill. To destroy everything. And what disgusts me the most is the feeling of affection towards Aku."
Sakura's face was full of pity and sympathy.
"Don't give me that look."
She started walking towards him again, regardless of his earlier warning.
"Syaoran, did you mean that? When you said you loved me?"
The statement came back the instant she touched his leather clad arm. That seemed so long ago, and the full memory was distant.
"Yes. I know that I don't know you real well, but it happened. Hell, we even haven't had a very interesting month together..."
He didn't resist as she drew him into a tight hug. He was in trance like state as bit by bit, a memory surfaced in Sakura's arms.
"That is all I need Syaoran. For I think I've fallen in love with you too"
She held him tighter, and he leaned into her arms. He didn't realise how he was trembling, how much afraid of his mind he was.
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 slowly raised a hand and it hovered just above the smooth skin of Sakura's face. "I want to be the way you loved me again," he whispered, longing and pain etching his voice and face. "Deep down I can find it. I can erase the small affection for Aku, I don't want to be this way...."
Sakura stared up into Syaoran's face. Her beautiful eyes made Syaoran's heart ache more than it had ever in the depths of his memories. He was on the brink of touching Sakura's skin when the bons in his right wrist snapped in half. It made a loud crack that echoed throughout the clearing in the night. That hand that had been about to touch Sakura's skin now hung uslessly off the end of Syaoran's arm.
"Bad. bad Syaoran. I told you before that you were branded. And that because of that brand I could find you anywhere."
"Aku," Syaoran hissed.
Sakura backed away on instinct at the sound of the hate radiating from Syaoran's voice. Also, she didn't have magic or any defense against Aku, or Syaoran.
Aku materialized behind Syaoran and snaked a hand under his arms to hold him there. "I am sorry about having to use my little brand to snap your wrist, but I can't have everything flooding back and ruining my plans for you," he whispered in a twisted voice.
"Let. go. of. me." Syaoran stated, gritting his teeth against the god awful pain traveling up his arm from his wrist.
"How rude. It seems I'm going to have to do something to get you back the way you were not too long ago when I first got ahold of you and changed you."
"You sent me to kill my mother," Syaoran growled. The hate hadn't died down one bit.
"Don't sound so hateful, quynirz. Our mother had to die."
"I have no brother so she was not your mother Aku," Syaoran growled.
Aku growled in his throat and grabbed the back of the collar around Syaoran's neck. "You realize that if this is removed, you'll die. Ne, Syao-a? You do realize that you are alive, but not alive? Like me? Like what was done to me when I was banished?!"
"It was your own fault!" Syaoran shouted in answer.
Sakura watched, forgotten completely. She slowly began to leave the clearing.
"Don't think about it Earth girl," Aku growled.
Sakura froze.
"Now, watch as your precious Syaoran becomes more of a monster than before. Watch as I unleash his true power, the power that all of Serai are born with, but dare not touch. Actually Syaoran's power is the only power on Serai to be this intense, and this...evil in one thousand years."
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked, curious even though she was scared to death.
Aku laughed. "There was one before him that had this power. He was a nice boy, until it took over however. It is said that only the Erebus angels have the power of flight, but that one person had it while he still lived."
"Aku, shut up!" Syaoran shouted.
Aku glared at the back of Syaoran's head. "You need to be silenced." Aku shoved his finger directly into the back of Syaoran's neck.
Syaoran screamed, and then found himself gagged. His eyes remained wide however.
"He couldn't control it. It wasn't his fault. But once it took over, half of Serai was destroyed. That is why our planet had the Resino He. Because the land was destroyed and turned to the ocean. Like all on Serai this person's powers lay in the moon. Of course, when he died he was made an angel of Erebus, for it hadn't been his fault that he had been manipulated. His power was pured, but only in death."
Sakura's eyes widened.
Aku smirked. "You know him I believe. But that's enough information for now."
The gag on Syaoran vanished.
"Now that I'm done talking to your girl over there, you can scream for me now," Aku giggled, shoving his finger deeper into Syaoran's neck.
Syaoran screamed, and didn't stop. It hurt worse than his 'attacks' had ever hurt before. Heat spread from that one point, covering his entire body.
"What are you doing to him?!" Sakura shrieked, finding herself unable to run away from this horrible spectacle.
Aku smriked from behind Syaoran. "I'm just awakening his true power. The power held by the one from a thousand years ago. I'm awakening his true form, and true self!" Aku shouted over the wind that had come into exsistance, and over Syaoran's screaming.
Syaoran felt something in his back. Something in there was moving, trying to get out. With a ripping sound, and a burst of pain blood soaked wings ripped from Syaoran's back. His skin paled even more, and his eyes changed color. They went from being a green-tinged amber to gold. The streaks in his hair remained green, but the rest of his hair became white. The pupils of his eyes also changed. They became catlike.
"Now, say hello to the true destroyer of the worlds! The one that will grant my wish of destruction, and will fufill my revenge! The decendant of the once alive Yue!"
