1 Training and Dances
~*~ Eriol's POV ~*~
"I guess this means more training," I said, smirking.
"Oh no! I am sorry but I am not training again," Syaoran backed up.
"No, you're going to train with Sakura. This will be so interesting too," I told both of them
"Let me put a special suit on for you," Tomoyo said.
"No, let me just kill her with my bare hands," hissed a voice. I looked behind me and I saw a pair of purple eyes. A man came out, wearing robes and sandals. He seemed to have a staff with him too.
"No, you will not kill Sakura," Syaoran said, covering Sakura with his body.
"No, I will fight him," Sakura confided, smirking.
"Wait a second, where is Rochelle," Tomoyo asked, looking around.
"Rochelle," called Syaoran.
"Oh, she's hanging around some place I bet," the guy said.
"Riddles, more riddles. Light! Fill this place with light," I called to Light. Light illuminated the room and I saw Rochelle hanging by her neck.
"You bastard," I cursed at him.
"Oh, she's not dead… yet," and with that, he turned and shot a powerful wave of energy at Rochelle. She cried out and I looked at the guy in pure disgust.
"No," Sakura wailed. I turned around and saw Sakura on her knees, crying.
"Sakura, it's alright," Tomoyo said, coming to her best friend, to comfort her.
"I should've done something," she wailed once again. Tomoyo hugged Sakura and Syaoran stood next to Sakura in a protective manner.
"I'll defeat him," I told them.
"I'll keep watch over the females," Syaoran countered.
"No, I'm going to fight him. And this time, I'm not allowing mercy," Sakura said, drying her tears and getting up.
"Fine," I said simply.
"Eriol! You're just going to let her fight without any consent of any of us," Tomoyo demanded.
"I will not allow her to fight," Toya said.
"Neither shall I," Ms. Li admitted.
"Why not," Syaoran asked. They looked at him with plain disgust also.
"Because, she is pregnant for once. And second, she's in no condition," Ms. Li argued.
"Oh bosh! She is in good condition," Syaoran argued back. He hugged Sakura and kissed her on the cheek.
"I have faith in you," he cheered for her.
"Thank you. After all this, I will need to take all the stuff back to the store and get my money back," Sakura whispered.
"I'll do it. I need to go to the mall anyways," Naoko said, coming into the picture.
"I have your back Sakura," Spinnel and Kero said, turning into they're true forms. She smiled at them and turned her back. She called upon her staff.
"Hold up, I want to see your nice new powers," the guy was saying.
"Fine with me! Staff of Stars, come back to your fake form," she called to her staff. It turned back into the necklace. She put it around her neck and got in a stance.
"Sakura, I will not allow this. Get back on the side lines," Yukito growled from the sidelines.
"I agree, get over here," Yue said, flying near me.
"Back away before I shred you into oblivion," she threatened.
"Aww, no power coming from the little Card Mistress. Scared huh," the man taunted.
"I'll show you scared," Sakura said and her eyes turned red.
"Oh no, I hate it when she does this," Syaoran muttered.
~*~ Sakura's POV ~*~
"Oh, I'm so scared," he taunted again.
"Fine let's do it the easy way," I said and made my eyes turn jade again. I created wind and made it hit the guy. He flew back at the wall and crashed there. Which seemed a few minutes; he got up and wiped the blood from the side of his mouth.
"You'll pay for that. But I'm guessing that was your only power huh," he asked, making an advance towards me. I smirked and made my fist go towards him. But he was about 10 feet away. But as you all know, it didn't hit him. Instead, he flew back at the wall again and made another crash.
"Dam it. This is going to be harder then the other people I've faced," he cursed.
"Aww, poor baby, I want to cheer him up now," I said that as I smirked. I smiled at him all of a sudden and looked down at my hand. I looked at his back and I made a mental hand. I waved my mental hand around but he didn't see it. Of course, no one could. So I patted him on the back and he whirled around.
"Aww, scared huh," I taunted once again.
"Never," he said and whirled around again as I touched his back.
"Oh well, you never give up. And Men say women are stubborn," I said exasperated. I hit his back and he flew towards the wall again.
"I'm tired of playing games now," he said and hit me with a beam of energy. I flew back towards the wall but Syaoran caught me.
"Thanks," I whispered to him and wiped the blood off of me. I waved my hand lazily and a bubble encased him like it did with Syaoran.
"Are you thirsty also," I asked. He nodded and I waved my hands again. Water started filling the bubble.
"Now, bubble, please take him to Saturn to live his life there," I told the bubble. It understood and it flew towards the roof and passed it. It flew to past the moon and into Saturn's atmosphere.
"I'm finished with him," I said wearily and went to my knees.
"Sakura," Syaoran yelled and ran to me.
"I'm ok," I said and got up. I fell down and Syaoran picked me up into his arms.
"No you're not. Someone get a doctor," he called to one of the servants.
"There is a doctor here," Yelan said, showing a young woman inside.
"Doctor, please help her," Syaoran pleaded.
"I will do the best I can," she was saying.
"Yeah right and I am part of Elmo's circus," I muttered underneath my breath. Syaoran looked at me with a confused face. I shook my head.
"Come on, Yelan, come with me please," the doctor was saying.
"Yes, please come with me," I asked.
"Ok," she said. The doctor pulled me up and together, the doctor, Yelan and me walked up the stairs and into my room. Matt cuddled up to me but knew something was wrong.
"I'll take the baby out," Yelan said and took Matt out. Matt started crying as soon as they reached the door and Yelan looked at him.
"What's the matter Matt," she asked. He pointed to the doctor and started crying. I looked at her too and I felt her evil aura. I smiled but I couldn't move.
~*~ Yelan's POV ~*~
I felt the doctor's aura. It was evil and wrong. I looked at Sakura and knew something was terribly wrong.
"SYAORAN," I cried and I took out my fan.
"Sorry Ms. Li. it's time for you to shut up," she said, looking at Sakura. She took out a staff and pointed at me. I felt tied up and was thrown to the wall. I started crying. But I managed to wipe them away. I saw Sakura cry out loud as the doctor was doing something.
"It's time for you dear Card Mistress to die, as you should've when Kia met you," the doctor was saying. The door got rammed open and I saw Syaoran look around in bewilderment.
~*~ Syaoran's POV ~*~
The dust was covering everything but I heard Sakura cry out loud. I looked around and saw the doctor and Sakura on the bed.
"You shall die Mistress," the doctor said.
"Not yet," I growled and took out my sword. I stabbed it through the doctor's heart and saw Sakura hurt. I looked around for my mother and saw her looking at Sakura with concern. Sakura was bleeding a lot.
"Eriol! Call the doctor," I screamed down the stairs. I went to mother and untied her.
"Thank you son," she said and went to Sakura. She took a pillow and put it to Sakura's deep cut on her shoulder. I went to her other side and held Sakura's hand.
"I don't want to loose you Sakura. Don't die on me please," I said, holding tight to Sakura's hand.
"I promise," she croaked.
"I got the doctor," Toya yelled from downstairs and I heard thundering coming upstairs. Toya and a young man came up into the room and by the looks of them, they were very concerned.
"Get away from the young girl please," he said and took the pillow off of Sakura's gash. It started flowing freely now.
"Hmm interesting," he kept saying. I started to pace around the bed, waiting for the results.
"It seems that the young girl will live. She will not have any effects after the surgery. It will be that she can't be doing anything harsh for a couple of days. Now let me do the surgery," he said, getting out some needles and stitches.
"I'll go," Yelan said. The doctor looked at me and I shook my head. I took Sakura's hand and the doctor nodded his head in agreement.
"This'll hurt just a tiny bit. It'll be just a prick ok," he was saying to get Sakura's attention. She nodded and bit her lip. I saw the doctor put some fluid in his needle and put it in Sakura's skin.
"What is that," I asked.
"It's sleeping draught. It'll make sure she's numb and sleeping when I do the surgery," he explained. I nodded and turned away from the surgery. The doctor was currently putting stitches in her gash and was tying it up quickly.
"Finished," he said. I nodded and he got up.
"Excuse me but can you please see if the baby is ok," I asked. He nodded and took out his x-ray picture thingy and put it to Sakura's stomach. I saw the baby and it looked healthy. He put a stethoscope on her stomach and saw listening to any sounds that were not regular.
"He is very healthy," he assured me. I sighed in relief.
"Thank you doctor, if you go downstairs, you will see the kitchen. Go in there and go eat please," I told him. He nodded and I looked at Sakura. Then I looked to the bed and saw that it was quiet a mess.
"Don't worry, that's why we got another bed here," Eriol said from the door. Him and Toya had a mattress in hand and were shoving it into the room.
"Here," I said as I asked float to make Sakura float as I lifted the mattress of my bed onto the side of the wall. They placed the new mattress on the bed and I ushered them out. I put covers on it and I put Sakura on it.
"Float, thank you ever so much," I called to the card. It nodded and returned to card form. I took Sakura and put her under the covers because she felt icy.
"Poor Sakura," I cooed and kissed her. I felt her warmth coming back and I saw her blushing.
"Poor me? Poor you," she said faintly. She smiled a semi smile and touched my face.
"Ashiteru Xiao Lang," she said.
"Ashiteru Ying Fa," I countered. I touched her hand and smiled. I felt tears welt up in my eyes and I couldn't stand it. I cried for all the hardships Sakura went through and how much pain it caused me that I had to trust her to do the right thing when all I wanted was to protect her from everything and everyone.
"Please don't cry," she said as she got up. She cried out as she felt a stretch in her shoulder. I laid her back down and lay next to her.
"I don't know what I would do if you, Matt or my baby got hurt," I whispered and kissed her cheek.
"Me too. Except not me. You of course. I love you so much and I can't live without you," she said. She stroked my cheek and fell asleep like that.
"Night My Ying Fa," I called to her and I got up from the bed and shut the windows. I went down the hall to Tomoyo's room and saw Matt playing with Kero.
"Matt, you sleepy," I asked. He looked at me then looked at Kero. He shook his head and started to play with Kero once again.
"Well, too bad, cause you are going to go to sleep. It's almost 8:30pm. Now come here," I told him. He frowned and tears started to form at his eyes. I took him by my arms and went to our room and got him dressed to sleep. I got his bottle and rocked him to sleep. After about an hour of rocking Matt to sleep, I lay him down in his crib and went out to the kitchen.
There sat Tomoyo, Meiling, mother, Toya, Kero, Spinnel, Yukito, Yue and my sisters.
"Hello Xiao Lang," Fei Mei greeted.
"Mother wants to talk to you," Fan Ren said.
"She's very angry," Fuutie said.
"Yes she is ver-," Sei Fei was cut off by Mother.
"Daughters, don't explain it to him. Now Xiao Lang, I need you to protect Sakura. Who knows what would've happened to the baby and Sakura if Sakura wouldn't of recovered. Promise me that you will keep her safe. We don't know our enemies next move," mother said.
"I promise I will take care of Sakura," I pledged.
"I should hope so Gaki. If anything harms my kajuii, I'm personally going to come after you," Toya threatened.
"Gaki, I know you mean no harm but ever since she has came back, all she's been doing is getting hurt," Kero explained.
"Yes she has little descendant. I don't want my little half-daughter to get hurt anymore. You better take very good care of her," Eriol said. He wasn't smirking anymore. He was dead serious.
"Master, you will need all the strength you can. But we need to find out what that curse is to defeat the evil like Clow Reed and Hiko said," Yue said flatly.
'What is this? A trial of some sort' I thought helplessly.
"Syaoran. I know you can hear me. I know you care deeply for Sakura and so do we. We don't want to see any of us hurt. That is why we have called upon you. Sakura is not a little girl anymore. She will die for us if needed to be. Which we don't want. All we want is for the leader of the Li Clan protect the family as he has rightfully done ever since he was little," Tomoyo said, looking down at me with anguish.
"I will protect Sakura. But why go to the lengths just to tell me that," I asked and saw Spinnel get up.
"Cause WE WANT COOKIES," he said loudly. Eriol got sick and tired and hit him over the head with a bottle of champagne.
"Thank God," Tomoyo muttered. Meiling went up and looked down at me.
"Syaoran, we trust that you will make the right decision. You know that you love and care for Sakura but-," she was cut off by Kero.
"This is getting no where. We're just talking in circles. Lets just get to the point! If you dare not protect Sakura and treat her respect that she needs, we will personally take pleasure in having your bones grind," he said sharply.
"I think that covers it," Toya smirked.
"You guys have my word on it ok? Now can I please get something to eat," I asked.
"Too late. We were eaten out of house and home. The two stuff animals ate all the food up," Meiling scowled at the two stuff animals.
"Who are you calling a stuff animal little girl," Kero asked.
"Yeah little girl," Spinnel repeated. Meiling glared at Spinnel and he stepped back behind Kero.
"I'll back you up," Spinnel said.
"Thanks a lot," Kero grumbled.
"Well, I'm tired. See you guys tomorrow," I called to them and went back upstairs. I opened the door to find Sakura trying to get up.
"Oh no you don't," I said and put her back down.
"But I'm tired. And I'm hungry," she complained.
"There's no food in here. Two stuff animals named Kero and Suppi ate it all up. That means no food until tomorrow," I explained. She nodded and commanded when I told her to lay down.
"Well good night Ying Fa," I told her. She snuggled up against me and we fell asleep like that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Next morning…
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," said a voice over in the corner.
"Shh, daddy's going to wake up if you keep on doing that Matt," Sakura was whispering.
"Mama… dada," he said. She smiled and put the bottle to his mouth.
"Hey Sakura," I greeted,
"Ohayo. How are you doing," she asked. I smiled and got up.
"I should be asking the same thing. You need to stay in bed. You're still hurt," I confided and got Matt out of her hands.
"No, really I'm o-," She stopped when she tried to get up.
"See," I smirked.
"Whatever. I still say I'm up to walk around the house," she said, smiling evilly.
"Time card. Stop time," I said out loud and time stopped. Sakura stopped and so did Matt. I took Matt out of Sakura's arms and put him in the crib with his bottle. I looked over to Sakura who was moving inch by inch as the moments passed by.
"Syaoran, what did you do," she demanded. I grinned sheepishly and picked Sakura up. I took her to the bed and laid her down. She started moving her hands very slowly.
"Syaoran," she said menacingly. I grinned harder and covered her. I bent down and kissed her cheeks.
"For me. Please, can you stay in bed," I asked.
"I need food. And anyways, I need to exercise," she added, nodding.
"Well, I'll get you some food," I told her. She pouted and I smiled. I caught her lips with mine and teased her. She melted and I felt it.
"Ok, you got me. I'll stay," she gasped.
'Her shoulder is probably hurting her' I thought quickly.
"Here, let me get an ice pack for you," I told her and called for a servant to bring one up.
"Can't you get your lazy self up to go get an ice pack or not," Sakura demanded, wanting to know.
"Yes, but I don't want to stray by your side," I said, smiling at her. The door opened and a servant came in with a towel and an ice pack.
"Arigato," Sakura called to the servant. The servant bowed and put the ice pack in my hands. I took the ice pack and put it to Sakura's wound. She arched up but cried out loud in pain.
"Shh, it'll just numb the pain," I whispered softly and Eriol barged in the next moment.
"Hey you guys. We're going to have a ball here. It's a celebration of your engagement," he added and left the door opened. He walked up and shut it.
"So, are you guys coming," he asked. I nodded but Sakura shook her head.
"I need someone to watch Matt," she told us. I nodded my agreement and Eriol looked a little puzzled.
"Just get a servant to watch him. And anyways, he knows how to defend himself, don't you, sport," he asked. Matt nodded and gurgled. Matt stuck a fist in his mouth and slobbered all over his fist. I laughed.
"Ok, settled. Now Sakura, I guess you can get up and go to Tomoyo's room. And that the only place you're allowed to go," I added for Eriols sake so he knew what to do. Eriol nodded his agreement.
"Yes, only to Tomoyo's," he repeated.
"Why can't I go down the stairs," she whined. She looked like she was about to cry.
"Because I said so. Plus Tomoyo needs you to try on an outfit she made for you," he said.
"Ok," she said reluctantly and went out the room and in the direction of Tomoyo's room.
"Excuse me, your lying about the outfits. How many are there exactly," I asked, smirking.
"About 30 outfits," Eriol said, laughing loudly.
"Poor Sakura," I whispered. Eriol nodded and smirked.
"I hope she has fun," Eriol said, gazing at the door lazily.
~*~ Sakura's POV ~*~
"Yeah right. I am not going to try on 30 outfits for Tomoyo," I whispered gazing at Tomoyo's room. I smirked at their misinterpretation. I had so much energy, and I wanted to use it.
"Through card, release and dispel. Make me through please," I asked and I turned transparent. I laughed and floated through the floor.
"Illusion, want to have some fun," I asked and illusion nodded.
"Illusion, turn into an illusion of a ghost of Syaoran's dad. Go haunt Syaoran. I'll be right behind you," I said, smirking. I turned into Rochelle's figure. (A/N: I know that's mean. But Syaoran was being to her in the first place! And plus its funny!!!)
We started making noises. I had to keep my laughter down a notch. Everyone's door started opened. First came out Naoko.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," she screamed and ran to Eriol's door, cowering there.
Tomoyo's door opened and I jumped right into her face.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, GHOST OF ROCHELLE!! HELP ME!!!!! I HATE GHOSTS," she screamed, starting to cry. I frowned and touched her face.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo," I whispered to her. She stared at me in shock and put a hand through me. I laughed and she also was cowering.
"Tomoyo, what is wrong," Eriol asked, running through the door. I nodded to Illusion and we turned invisible.
"Th- Th- there was a ghost in here," she was screaming.
"Come out ghost," he called and I smirked. I went behind his back and turned visible.
"Behind you," Tomoyo screamed and I turned invisible. Eriol whirled around and saw no one.
"I think your brain is playing games on you Tomoyo," he said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"In front of you," she said and I turned visible for them to see. Illusion came out also behind me.
"Do not, ever, hurt my Tomoyo," he threatened and took out his staff.
"Eriol, what have you done? Don't you recognize me," I wailed to him. I couldn't help it but smirk.
"I haven't done anything and yes I do recognize you. You're Rochelle's ghost," he said skeptically. I couldn't help it. Really I couldn't. I started laughing and laughing.
"What's so funny," Tomoyo asked.
"Man, you guys are so funny," I told them.
"You know us," I said and I nodded to Illusion. She turned back into her real form of the card and I started laughing.
"Sakura," Eriol asked. I nodded.
"You witch, you scared me to death," Tomoyo said in an angry voice. I laughed.
"I'm sorry. Want to try being one though," I asked. They nodded.
"Through, Illusion, make them into Illusions of My mom and dad. Illusion, turn back into Syaoran's dad," I called to Illusion and through and we all started laughing, including the cards.
"This is going to be fun," whispered Illusion.
"Yeah," Nadieshiko said.
"Come dear. There are people to scare. I suggest you go to Syaoran's room first and scare him to death," Fuijitaka whispered, smirking.
"Oh, I will. You go scare Ms. Li," I said and Illusion and me went to our room. We went through the door and waited for Syaoran to get out of the shower. As soon as he did, he gaped.
"Dad," he whispered. Illusion nodded and started to weep.
"I love you son. I hope you do realize that," Illusion told him. I looked at Illusion in confusion.
"Illusion, turn back to your card form," I said and I looked down. Illusion was with me.
"Uh… uh, Ghost," I screamed and turned back to my normal self. I started running down the stairs and even more. I then took a left in horror. I then stopped and realized that I was lost in the mansions basement. And to tell you the truth, it was huge!
"Welcome Sakura, Clow Mistress of the Sakura Cards. I hope you had fun. But right now, you need to help us," said a voice and I gulped at its chilliness.
"Who's there," I asked and someone turned on a light. I gulped and moved back. I fell back and I hit a box with my shoulder.
"OWWWWWWWWWW," I screamed out in pain and started to blink out my tears.
"Sakura, surely you know me. Please, take us to our bodies. We need to find our bodies. If you do, the curse is off and you can show your true form to the cards," the ghost said. There were about 10 ghosts in the room.
"And if I don't," I asked, and suddenly, I didn't want to know the answer.
"You die by evil's hands," he said. I gulped and nodded.
"What do I do," I asked.
"All our bodies are in the cemetery you were at the one day, when you were visiting your mom. I will create a list of names of us. And you will have to find our graves. If they aren't, we come back to haunt you forever," he said casually. I nodded.
I watched him write down the names of the ghosts in the basement.
"What about the evil," I asked.
"We can't do anything. You have to defeat him, and we cannot make a barrier. All we can give you is this," a girl ghost said and gave me a necklace.
"It's a spell that wards off evil for about 3 hours after you put it on. If you put it on a child, it will last forever. Here, keep it," she said and put it on my neck. I thanked her.
"Here, I am finished," he said and gave me the list. I nodded and looked down on the names. There were big names on here.
"Ok, can you guys fly," I asked and they nodded.
"Through, Fly, combine your powers and put the powers on me," I told the cards and I appeared to be an angel. I had white wings attached and I was transparent.
"Arigato Cards," I thanked them. They nodded and returned.
"Now, come on," the ghosts said and flew upwards. I followed and they were ahead of me up in the clouds. I laughed like a little child just finding out her mommy got her a present and flew up towards them.
"It's over there," I yelled and pointed to a graveyard. They nodded and we flew to the edge. As we landed, I accidentally put my foot through the ground. I grinned sheepishly and called the cards back. I lost my beautiful wings and my time to go through stuff.
'Oh well, there's more time for training afterwards' I thought.
"Ok, first is Kinsey Mcfort," I said out loud and walked to the graves.
"We're with you child," the ghosts were saying.
"And we are," said 2 voices.
"Yue, Kero. Scat," I told them.
"No, we are not leaving you Sakura," they told us defensively.
"Oh well," I said and walked up to Kinsey's grave. He nodded and I watched him go through his grave.
"Thank you," he whispered and smiled at me.
"Next is Sarah Wheeler," I said and a little girl came up. I looked through the graves and the last one was Sarah.
"Here you are," I told her and she flew to her grave.
"Thanks," she whispered and went to rest in peace.
"Look Sakura, you're changing by little," Kero told me. I nodded and looked at the list. Next was Daniel Kitts.
"You're next to Sarah's," I whispered and he nodded.
"Thank you Card Mistress," he whispered and did the same. I started changing more when the last few left.
"Monica Justice Lowman," I said and pointed. She nodded and thanked me.
Soon enough, there was only one more person left.
"Seth Dean," I whispered and the 2-year-old boy walked to his grave.
"Thank youth," he whispered and walked away, disappearing in the light. He waved bye to me and I waved bye.
"Have a good sleep guys," I whispered softly and I jumped. I realized I didn't have my wings. I gulped and was prepared to fall down on my ass.
"Sorry Mistress but you can take flight yourself. We are fully apart of you now," the cards whispered and went back inside my pocket.
"What? I don't want to leave you guys," I whispered, tears forming into my eyes.
"You haven't left us. We will always be by your side. All we're saying is that you have taken part of our forms now. You can do some of our magic. You have my fire, Dark's darkness, Light's light, Storms creativity to make storms and etc. You can still use us. Just don't forget us," they whispered.
"I don't want these powers. All I wanted was to defeat the evil at hand," I screamed.
"Fine, we'll take half of your form. You will have some of our magic and this is what you can do," they continued, "You can do only elements now. As in Water, Wind, Earth, Fire. You can do those. And if you want to fly, all you have to do is call. But just wait until you look at yourself in the mirror!!!!"
"What do you mean until I look in the mirror," I asked.
"You'll see. Your just a sight to behold," Watery said.
"Whatever. Mirror, please come out," I said and Mirror transformed into me. I gulped and tears started pouring out.
"That's me," I asked, doubtfully.
They nodded.
"This is your true form. You can stay in your false form or this true one at anytime like Yue or Kero can do," the cards said with a pointed at Kero and Yue.
"We'll lets go, Fly, help me," I said and wings with fire appeared on me.
"We need to catch the dance," Kero reminded.
"You don't have to worry," I told him, knowing what he wanted. SWEETS!
Yue laughed a hollow laugh and said, "Sweets is not what you need Keroberus. What you need is vegetables," he laughed a real laugh.
"Yue, Kero, I don't need any help. Just leave me alone," I said and I shot fire at them.
"No, you need help training. Just let us help you," he said.
"Ok, let's stop here," I told them and they nodded.
"Well, you know the elements. Now, all you have to do is concentrate on the element. You call upon it and you picture water. That's all you have to do, now lets see if you can defeat us," they said and started to fight with me.
'Fire!' I thought and I pictured it. I felt heat fly through me and straight at Kero.
"HEY! YOU SINGED MY TAIL," he yelled.
"I'm sorry. I guess let's stop," I told them.
"Yes. Clow Reed picked a powerful Clow Mistress. The last person who tried was very weak and took about 8 years to get challenged by me. It was as long wait I tell you," Yue told me. I nodded my agreement.
"Well, I got to get to Tomoyo's room. I don't want to scare the people coming. Especially the elders," I said sheepishly.
"Those Old Bags? They probably know already," Yue said. I laughed at their names and I flew towards Tomoyo room.
"Where are you going so fast Sakura," asked Eriol from the tree.
"Uh oh," I said and Eriol jumped down. He looked at me in disbelief.
"Oh sorry. You are not Sakura. But you have the same aura. Is that you Sakura," he asked, looking at me with interest.
"AHHHHH," I cried and started running.
"HEY GET BACK HERE," Eriol yelled.
"NO!!!!!!" I ran around the house about a few times.
'Element, fire' I thought and fire flew straight towards Eriol. He ducked down and I jumped onto a car.
"Fly," I said and wings appeared. Fire, Water combined into my wings and wind picked up. I jumped and flew to Tomoyo's room. I opened the window and Tomoyo started yelling. I turned to my false form and put my finger to my mouth to quiet her.
"I TELL YOU, THERES A YOUNG GIRL WHO IS A MONSTER THAT IS UP IN TOMOYO'S ROOM," Eriol was yelling. I grinned sheepishly at Tomoyo and locked the door.
"What are you," she asked, curious.
"That's my true form. Shh, don't tell anyone ok," I asked. She nodded and took out her video camera and started taping me.
"Turn into your form please," she asked and I nodded. I turned into my true form. I turned back as soon as there were pounding at her door.
"Open up," said formidable voices.
"What," I asked and they took me by the arms. They dragged me down and I lowered my head. I looked back and saw Tomoyo look at me with scared eyes.
"Is this her," the guard asked as he threw me down at the floor.
"I'm being real sick and tired of you fucking guards. You deserve some hurting," I whispered. Eriol looked at me. I looked up and saw only Eriol there.
"Oh, but there is nothing you can do Sakura. Was that you who did that magic," he asked. I shook my head.
"That's not her then. And if you touch my half-daughter again like that, I'll make sure you're dead," he said, dangerously.
"Yes sir," the guard said.
"Are you ok Sakura," he asked and gave me a hand up.
"Thank you but next time you make accusations, make sure they are real, not fake," I said and walked up to Tomoyo's room.
"I've made you the best dress for your pregnancy. Here," she said and gave me a dress. It was pink with cherry blossoms. Even though I was skinny, I needed something loose.
"I need to take a shower, be right back and I went inside the shower. About 5 minutes later, I had my dress on. I walked outside and Tomoyo was saying, "Kawaii!!" I gulped and went back inside to put on makeup.
"I'm finished," I called out and Tomoyo said the same.
"Damn, don't you have to take a shower or bath," I asked. She shook her head.
"I've already took one," she said and together, we walked down to the ballroom. It was Beauty and the beats ballroom. Except it didn't have two people, it had many, many people in it.
"Oh, this is so pretty," I called out and some people looked at me.
"Sakura, Tomoyo, come down," Eriol was calling up to us. We nodded and went down the stairs to Eriol's group.
"Sakura, Tomoyo, this is Micheal, Mika, Hiea, and Katie," he pointed out the boys. Micheal and blonde hair and baby blue eyes, Mika was black haired and gray eyed, Hiea had black eyes but was silver haired and Katie was red- haired with green eyes.
"Nice to meet you guys," I said and bowed.
"Nice to meet you too. Eriol, you've got to tell me, which one is your fiancée," Micheal asked, peering at us with interest. I backed away, feeling like I was being examined.
"This is Tomoyo," he said and pointed to the purple haired girl next to me.
"And this is Sakura," Syaoran finished, coming to my side. I smiled up at him and he returned it.
"Sakura, you available," Mika asked. I laughed.
"No she isn't. Actually, she is my fiancée," Syaoran told them. I nodded.
"Aww, too bad," Micheal said.
"Hey, umm Hiea, may I talk to you," Katie asked. I looked sharply at Katie. She wasn't feeling right. She has a temperature.
"Katie come here instead," I called and she came to me.
"I'm telling you, do lay down before you faint," I whispered into her ear. She nodded.
"I'll help her," Yue said. He picked up Katie and started to walk away.
"I have to tell you guys, these guys know all magic. No non magic person in this place," Eriol said.
"Interesting, want to dance Syaoran," I asked. He nodded and a slow song came on. I slow danced with him. As soon as the song ended, I went to the punch table and got some punch.
"Excuse me but-," an announcer was saying but was cut off by something. I turned and felt evil.
"Excuse me for that but right now, I want to kill everyone," he said and turned into a demon.
"How dare he," I growled. People looked at me and saw my aura flaring.
"HOW DARE YOU," I yelled and everyone was looking at me.
"Aww, tired huh? Well that can be arranged," he said and flung his hand. I waved my hand and his attack stopped.
"Now, let me kill you," he said to a little girl.
"You wouldn't dare," I growled. He nodded and was about to suck the soul out of the girl. Everybody looked at me and I grew angrier.
"Card Mistress, temper," he said and the people gasped and looked at me.
"How dare you," I whispered and my rage grew. Yue and Kero flew by my side.
"Calm down Sakura. Don't tell your secret," Kero whispered.
"Too late. She is way out of hand," Yue said, looking at me.
"I'll tell you what's too late," I whispered.
~*~ Syaoran's POV ~*~
"I'll tell you what's too late," Sakura was telling Yue.
"What is," Kero asked.
"This," she whispered and she started glowing. She was covered by light and the cards went around her. They were zapping her.
"Fly," she said and wings were seen.
"What's happening," Micheal asked.
"I saw her today. I told you it was Sakura," Eriol whispered to me.
"I suppose she learned it," I said quietly.
"Hiea, please come here. You are one," Sakura yelled, still covered.
"What," he asked.
"Come," she said and Hiea came near her.
"I'm done, you can turn into your true form," Sakura was saying, pointing to Hiea.
"Well done mistress, you figured out my disguise. Well, what do you expect me to do," he asked.
"Hold this," she said and came out of the light. She gave the light to Hiea and he changed. He turned into an angel. Everyone gasped but not at Hiea, but at Sakura.
Sakura looked like the Fiery Card. She had a band over her head and her head was blazing red then blue. Whenever she stepped, things would burn or be singed.
"You know what, I'm tired of you guys," Sakura yelled. Wind started to blow around her feet and the ultimate challenge was about to begin.

Hey everyone! Read and Review! Hope you like it!!!!!!
~*~ Eriol's POV ~*~
"I guess this means more training," I said, smirking.
"Oh no! I am sorry but I am not training again," Syaoran backed up.
"No, you're going to train with Sakura. This will be so interesting too," I told both of them
"Let me put a special suit on for you," Tomoyo said.
"No, let me just kill her with my bare hands," hissed a voice. I looked behind me and I saw a pair of purple eyes. A man came out, wearing robes and sandals. He seemed to have a staff with him too.
"No, you will not kill Sakura," Syaoran said, covering Sakura with his body.
"No, I will fight him," Sakura confided, smirking.
"Wait a second, where is Rochelle," Tomoyo asked, looking around.
"Rochelle," called Syaoran.
"Oh, she's hanging around some place I bet," the guy said.
"Riddles, more riddles. Light! Fill this place with light," I called to Light. Light illuminated the room and I saw Rochelle hanging by her neck.
"You bastard," I cursed at him.
"Oh, she's not dead… yet," and with that, he turned and shot a powerful wave of energy at Rochelle. She cried out and I looked at the guy in pure disgust.
"No," Sakura wailed. I turned around and saw Sakura on her knees, crying.
"Sakura, it's alright," Tomoyo said, coming to her best friend, to comfort her.
"I should've done something," she wailed once again. Tomoyo hugged Sakura and Syaoran stood next to Sakura in a protective manner.
"I'll defeat him," I told them.
"I'll keep watch over the females," Syaoran countered.
"No, I'm going to fight him. And this time, I'm not allowing mercy," Sakura said, drying her tears and getting up.
"Fine," I said simply.
"Eriol! You're just going to let her fight without any consent of any of us," Tomoyo demanded.
"I will not allow her to fight," Toya said.
"Neither shall I," Ms. Li admitted.
"Why not," Syaoran asked. They looked at him with plain disgust also.
"Because, she is pregnant for once. And second, she's in no condition," Ms. Li argued.
"Oh bosh! She is in good condition," Syaoran argued back. He hugged Sakura and kissed her on the cheek.
"I have faith in you," he cheered for her.
"Thank you. After all this, I will need to take all the stuff back to the store and get my money back," Sakura whispered.
"I'll do it. I need to go to the mall anyways," Naoko said, coming into the picture.
"I have your back Sakura," Spinnel and Kero said, turning into they're true forms. She smiled at them and turned her back. She called upon her staff.
"Hold up, I want to see your nice new powers," the guy was saying.
"Fine with me! Staff of Stars, come back to your fake form," she called to her staff. It turned back into the necklace. She put it around her neck and got in a stance.
"Sakura, I will not allow this. Get back on the side lines," Yukito growled from the sidelines.
"I agree, get over here," Yue said, flying near me.
"Back away before I shred you into oblivion," she threatened.
"Aww, no power coming from the little Card Mistress. Scared huh," the man taunted.
"I'll show you scared," Sakura said and her eyes turned red.
"Oh no, I hate it when she does this," Syaoran muttered.
~*~ Sakura's POV ~*~
"Oh, I'm so scared," he taunted again.
"Fine let's do it the easy way," I said and made my eyes turn jade again. I created wind and made it hit the guy. He flew back at the wall and crashed there. Which seemed a few minutes; he got up and wiped the blood from the side of his mouth.
"You'll pay for that. But I'm guessing that was your only power huh," he asked, making an advance towards me. I smirked and made my fist go towards him. But he was about 10 feet away. But as you all know, it didn't hit him. Instead, he flew back at the wall again and made another crash.
"Dam it. This is going to be harder then the other people I've faced," he cursed.
"Aww, poor baby, I want to cheer him up now," I said that as I smirked. I smiled at him all of a sudden and looked down at my hand. I looked at his back and I made a mental hand. I waved my mental hand around but he didn't see it. Of course, no one could. So I patted him on the back and he whirled around.
"Aww, scared huh," I taunted once again.
"Never," he said and whirled around again as I touched his back.
"Oh well, you never give up. And Men say women are stubborn," I said exasperated. I hit his back and he flew towards the wall again.
"I'm tired of playing games now," he said and hit me with a beam of energy. I flew back towards the wall but Syaoran caught me.
"Thanks," I whispered to him and wiped the blood off of me. I waved my hand lazily and a bubble encased him like it did with Syaoran.
"Are you thirsty also," I asked. He nodded and I waved my hands again. Water started filling the bubble.
"Now, bubble, please take him to Saturn to live his life there," I told the bubble. It understood and it flew towards the roof and passed it. It flew to past the moon and into Saturn's atmosphere.
"I'm finished with him," I said wearily and went to my knees.
"Sakura," Syaoran yelled and ran to me.
"I'm ok," I said and got up. I fell down and Syaoran picked me up into his arms.
"No you're not. Someone get a doctor," he called to one of the servants.
"There is a doctor here," Yelan said, showing a young woman inside.
"Doctor, please help her," Syaoran pleaded.
"I will do the best I can," she was saying.
"Yeah right and I am part of Elmo's circus," I muttered underneath my breath. Syaoran looked at me with a confused face. I shook my head.
"Come on, Yelan, come with me please," the doctor was saying.
"Yes, please come with me," I asked.
"Ok," she said. The doctor pulled me up and together, the doctor, Yelan and me walked up the stairs and into my room. Matt cuddled up to me but knew something was wrong.
"I'll take the baby out," Yelan said and took Matt out. Matt started crying as soon as they reached the door and Yelan looked at him.
"What's the matter Matt," she asked. He pointed to the doctor and started crying. I looked at her too and I felt her evil aura. I smiled but I couldn't move.
~*~ Yelan's POV ~*~
I felt the doctor's aura. It was evil and wrong. I looked at Sakura and knew something was terribly wrong.
"SYAORAN," I cried and I took out my fan.
"Sorry Ms. Li. it's time for you to shut up," she said, looking at Sakura. She took out a staff and pointed at me. I felt tied up and was thrown to the wall. I started crying. But I managed to wipe them away. I saw Sakura cry out loud as the doctor was doing something.
"It's time for you dear Card Mistress to die, as you should've when Kia met you," the doctor was saying. The door got rammed open and I saw Syaoran look around in bewilderment.
~*~ Syaoran's POV ~*~
The dust was covering everything but I heard Sakura cry out loud. I looked around and saw the doctor and Sakura on the bed.
"You shall die Mistress," the doctor said.
"Not yet," I growled and took out my sword. I stabbed it through the doctor's heart and saw Sakura hurt. I looked around for my mother and saw her looking at Sakura with concern. Sakura was bleeding a lot.
"Eriol! Call the doctor," I screamed down the stairs. I went to mother and untied her.
"Thank you son," she said and went to Sakura. She took a pillow and put it to Sakura's deep cut on her shoulder. I went to her other side and held Sakura's hand.
"I don't want to loose you Sakura. Don't die on me please," I said, holding tight to Sakura's hand.
"I promise," she croaked.
"I got the doctor," Toya yelled from downstairs and I heard thundering coming upstairs. Toya and a young man came up into the room and by the looks of them, they were very concerned.
"Get away from the young girl please," he said and took the pillow off of Sakura's gash. It started flowing freely now.
"Hmm interesting," he kept saying. I started to pace around the bed, waiting for the results.
"It seems that the young girl will live. She will not have any effects after the surgery. It will be that she can't be doing anything harsh for a couple of days. Now let me do the surgery," he said, getting out some needles and stitches.
"I'll go," Yelan said. The doctor looked at me and I shook my head. I took Sakura's hand and the doctor nodded his head in agreement.
"This'll hurt just a tiny bit. It'll be just a prick ok," he was saying to get Sakura's attention. She nodded and bit her lip. I saw the doctor put some fluid in his needle and put it in Sakura's skin.
"What is that," I asked.
"It's sleeping draught. It'll make sure she's numb and sleeping when I do the surgery," he explained. I nodded and turned away from the surgery. The doctor was currently putting stitches in her gash and was tying it up quickly.
"Finished," he said. I nodded and he got up.
"Excuse me but can you please see if the baby is ok," I asked. He nodded and took out his x-ray picture thingy and put it to Sakura's stomach. I saw the baby and it looked healthy. He put a stethoscope on her stomach and saw listening to any sounds that were not regular.
"He is very healthy," he assured me. I sighed in relief.
"Thank you doctor, if you go downstairs, you will see the kitchen. Go in there and go eat please," I told him. He nodded and I looked at Sakura. Then I looked to the bed and saw that it was quiet a mess.
"Don't worry, that's why we got another bed here," Eriol said from the door. Him and Toya had a mattress in hand and were shoving it into the room.
"Here," I said as I asked float to make Sakura float as I lifted the mattress of my bed onto the side of the wall. They placed the new mattress on the bed and I ushered them out. I put covers on it and I put Sakura on it.
"Float, thank you ever so much," I called to the card. It nodded and returned to card form. I took Sakura and put her under the covers because she felt icy.
"Poor Sakura," I cooed and kissed her. I felt her warmth coming back and I saw her blushing.
"Poor me? Poor you," she said faintly. She smiled a semi smile and touched my face.
"Ashiteru Xiao Lang," she said.
"Ashiteru Ying Fa," I countered. I touched her hand and smiled. I felt tears welt up in my eyes and I couldn't stand it. I cried for all the hardships Sakura went through and how much pain it caused me that I had to trust her to do the right thing when all I wanted was to protect her from everything and everyone.
"Please don't cry," she said as she got up. She cried out as she felt a stretch in her shoulder. I laid her back down and lay next to her.
"I don't know what I would do if you, Matt or my baby got hurt," I whispered and kissed her cheek.
"Me too. Except not me. You of course. I love you so much and I can't live without you," she said. She stroked my cheek and fell asleep like that.
"Night My Ying Fa," I called to her and I got up from the bed and shut the windows. I went down the hall to Tomoyo's room and saw Matt playing with Kero.
"Matt, you sleepy," I asked. He looked at me then looked at Kero. He shook his head and started to play with Kero once again.
"Well, too bad, cause you are going to go to sleep. It's almost 8:30pm. Now come here," I told him. He frowned and tears started to form at his eyes. I took him by my arms and went to our room and got him dressed to sleep. I got his bottle and rocked him to sleep. After about an hour of rocking Matt to sleep, I lay him down in his crib and went out to the kitchen.
There sat Tomoyo, Meiling, mother, Toya, Kero, Spinnel, Yukito, Yue and my sisters.
"Hello Xiao Lang," Fei Mei greeted.
"Mother wants to talk to you," Fan Ren said.
"She's very angry," Fuutie said.
"Yes she is ver-," Sei Fei was cut off by Mother.
"Daughters, don't explain it to him. Now Xiao Lang, I need you to protect Sakura. Who knows what would've happened to the baby and Sakura if Sakura wouldn't of recovered. Promise me that you will keep her safe. We don't know our enemies next move," mother said.
"I promise I will take care of Sakura," I pledged.
"I should hope so Gaki. If anything harms my kajuii, I'm personally going to come after you," Toya threatened.
"Gaki, I know you mean no harm but ever since she has came back, all she's been doing is getting hurt," Kero explained.
"Yes she has little descendant. I don't want my little half-daughter to get hurt anymore. You better take very good care of her," Eriol said. He wasn't smirking anymore. He was dead serious.
"Master, you will need all the strength you can. But we need to find out what that curse is to defeat the evil like Clow Reed and Hiko said," Yue said flatly.
'What is this? A trial of some sort' I thought helplessly.
"Syaoran. I know you can hear me. I know you care deeply for Sakura and so do we. We don't want to see any of us hurt. That is why we have called upon you. Sakura is not a little girl anymore. She will die for us if needed to be. Which we don't want. All we want is for the leader of the Li Clan protect the family as he has rightfully done ever since he was little," Tomoyo said, looking down at me with anguish.
"I will protect Sakura. But why go to the lengths just to tell me that," I asked and saw Spinnel get up.
"Cause WE WANT COOKIES," he said loudly. Eriol got sick and tired and hit him over the head with a bottle of champagne.
"Thank God," Tomoyo muttered. Meiling went up and looked down at me.
"Syaoran, we trust that you will make the right decision. You know that you love and care for Sakura but-," she was cut off by Kero.
"This is getting no where. We're just talking in circles. Lets just get to the point! If you dare not protect Sakura and treat her respect that she needs, we will personally take pleasure in having your bones grind," he said sharply.
"I think that covers it," Toya smirked.
"You guys have my word on it ok? Now can I please get something to eat," I asked.
"Too late. We were eaten out of house and home. The two stuff animals ate all the food up," Meiling scowled at the two stuff animals.
"Who are you calling a stuff animal little girl," Kero asked.
"Yeah little girl," Spinnel repeated. Meiling glared at Spinnel and he stepped back behind Kero.
"I'll back you up," Spinnel said.
"Thanks a lot," Kero grumbled.
"Well, I'm tired. See you guys tomorrow," I called to them and went back upstairs. I opened the door to find Sakura trying to get up.
"Oh no you don't," I said and put her back down.
"But I'm tired. And I'm hungry," she complained.
"There's no food in here. Two stuff animals named Kero and Suppi ate it all up. That means no food until tomorrow," I explained. She nodded and commanded when I told her to lay down.
"Well good night Ying Fa," I told her. She snuggled up against me and we fell asleep like that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Next morning…
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," said a voice over in the corner.
"Shh, daddy's going to wake up if you keep on doing that Matt," Sakura was whispering.
"Mama… dada," he said. She smiled and put the bottle to his mouth.
"Hey Sakura," I greeted,
"Ohayo. How are you doing," she asked. I smiled and got up.
"I should be asking the same thing. You need to stay in bed. You're still hurt," I confided and got Matt out of her hands.
"No, really I'm o-," She stopped when she tried to get up.
"See," I smirked.
"Whatever. I still say I'm up to walk around the house," she said, smiling evilly.
"Time card. Stop time," I said out loud and time stopped. Sakura stopped and so did Matt. I took Matt out of Sakura's arms and put him in the crib with his bottle. I looked over to Sakura who was moving inch by inch as the moments passed by.
"Syaoran, what did you do," she demanded. I grinned sheepishly and picked Sakura up. I took her to the bed and laid her down. She started moving her hands very slowly.
"Syaoran," she said menacingly. I grinned harder and covered her. I bent down and kissed her cheeks.
"For me. Please, can you stay in bed," I asked.
"I need food. And anyways, I need to exercise," she added, nodding.
"Well, I'll get you some food," I told her. She pouted and I smiled. I caught her lips with mine and teased her. She melted and I felt it.
"Ok, you got me. I'll stay," she gasped.
'Her shoulder is probably hurting her' I thought quickly.
"Here, let me get an ice pack for you," I told her and called for a servant to bring one up.
"Can't you get your lazy self up to go get an ice pack or not," Sakura demanded, wanting to know.
"Yes, but I don't want to stray by your side," I said, smiling at her. The door opened and a servant came in with a towel and an ice pack.
"Arigato," Sakura called to the servant. The servant bowed and put the ice pack in my hands. I took the ice pack and put it to Sakura's wound. She arched up but cried out loud in pain.
"Shh, it'll just numb the pain," I whispered softly and Eriol barged in the next moment.
"Hey you guys. We're going to have a ball here. It's a celebration of your engagement," he added and left the door opened. He walked up and shut it.
"So, are you guys coming," he asked. I nodded but Sakura shook her head.
"I need someone to watch Matt," she told us. I nodded my agreement and Eriol looked a little puzzled.
"Just get a servant to watch him. And anyways, he knows how to defend himself, don't you, sport," he asked. Matt nodded and gurgled. Matt stuck a fist in his mouth and slobbered all over his fist. I laughed.
"Ok, settled. Now Sakura, I guess you can get up and go to Tomoyo's room. And that the only place you're allowed to go," I added for Eriols sake so he knew what to do. Eriol nodded his agreement.
"Yes, only to Tomoyo's," he repeated.
"Why can't I go down the stairs," she whined. She looked like she was about to cry.
"Because I said so. Plus Tomoyo needs you to try on an outfit she made for you," he said.
"Ok," she said reluctantly and went out the room and in the direction of Tomoyo's room.
"Excuse me, your lying about the outfits. How many are there exactly," I asked, smirking.
"About 30 outfits," Eriol said, laughing loudly.
"Poor Sakura," I whispered. Eriol nodded and smirked.
"I hope she has fun," Eriol said, gazing at the door lazily.
~*~ Sakura's POV ~*~
"Yeah right. I am not going to try on 30 outfits for Tomoyo," I whispered gazing at Tomoyo's room. I smirked at their misinterpretation. I had so much energy, and I wanted to use it.
"Through card, release and dispel. Make me through please," I asked and I turned transparent. I laughed and floated through the floor.
"Illusion, want to have some fun," I asked and illusion nodded.
"Illusion, turn into an illusion of a ghost of Syaoran's dad. Go haunt Syaoran. I'll be right behind you," I said, smirking. I turned into Rochelle's figure. (A/N: I know that's mean. But Syaoran was being to her in the first place! And plus its funny!!!)
We started making noises. I had to keep my laughter down a notch. Everyone's door started opened. First came out Naoko.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," she screamed and ran to Eriol's door, cowering there.
Tomoyo's door opened and I jumped right into her face.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, GHOST OF ROCHELLE!! HELP ME!!!!! I HATE GHOSTS," she screamed, starting to cry. I frowned and touched her face.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo," I whispered to her. She stared at me in shock and put a hand through me. I laughed and she also was cowering.
"Tomoyo, what is wrong," Eriol asked, running through the door. I nodded to Illusion and we turned invisible.
"Th- Th- there was a ghost in here," she was screaming.
"Come out ghost," he called and I smirked. I went behind his back and turned visible.
"Behind you," Tomoyo screamed and I turned invisible. Eriol whirled around and saw no one.
"I think your brain is playing games on you Tomoyo," he said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"In front of you," she said and I turned visible for them to see. Illusion came out also behind me.
"Do not, ever, hurt my Tomoyo," he threatened and took out his staff.
"Eriol, what have you done? Don't you recognize me," I wailed to him. I couldn't help it but smirk.
"I haven't done anything and yes I do recognize you. You're Rochelle's ghost," he said skeptically. I couldn't help it. Really I couldn't. I started laughing and laughing.
"What's so funny," Tomoyo asked.
"Man, you guys are so funny," I told them.
"You know us," I said and I nodded to Illusion. She turned back into her real form of the card and I started laughing.
"Sakura," Eriol asked. I nodded.
"You witch, you scared me to death," Tomoyo said in an angry voice. I laughed.
"I'm sorry. Want to try being one though," I asked. They nodded.
"Through, Illusion, make them into Illusions of My mom and dad. Illusion, turn back into Syaoran's dad," I called to Illusion and through and we all started laughing, including the cards.
"This is going to be fun," whispered Illusion.
"Yeah," Nadieshiko said.
"Come dear. There are people to scare. I suggest you go to Syaoran's room first and scare him to death," Fuijitaka whispered, smirking.
"Oh, I will. You go scare Ms. Li," I said and Illusion and me went to our room. We went through the door and waited for Syaoran to get out of the shower. As soon as he did, he gaped.
"Dad," he whispered. Illusion nodded and started to weep.
"I love you son. I hope you do realize that," Illusion told him. I looked at Illusion in confusion.
"Illusion, turn back to your card form," I said and I looked down. Illusion was with me.
"Uh… uh, Ghost," I screamed and turned back to my normal self. I started running down the stairs and even more. I then took a left in horror. I then stopped and realized that I was lost in the mansions basement. And to tell you the truth, it was huge!
"Welcome Sakura, Clow Mistress of the Sakura Cards. I hope you had fun. But right now, you need to help us," said a voice and I gulped at its chilliness.
"Who's there," I asked and someone turned on a light. I gulped and moved back. I fell back and I hit a box with my shoulder.
"OWWWWWWWWWW," I screamed out in pain and started to blink out my tears.
"Sakura, surely you know me. Please, take us to our bodies. We need to find our bodies. If you do, the curse is off and you can show your true form to the cards," the ghost said. There were about 10 ghosts in the room.
"And if I don't," I asked, and suddenly, I didn't want to know the answer.
"You die by evil's hands," he said. I gulped and nodded.
"What do I do," I asked.
"All our bodies are in the cemetery you were at the one day, when you were visiting your mom. I will create a list of names of us. And you will have to find our graves. If they aren't, we come back to haunt you forever," he said casually. I nodded.
I watched him write down the names of the ghosts in the basement.
"What about the evil," I asked.
"We can't do anything. You have to defeat him, and we cannot make a barrier. All we can give you is this," a girl ghost said and gave me a necklace.
"It's a spell that wards off evil for about 3 hours after you put it on. If you put it on a child, it will last forever. Here, keep it," she said and put it on my neck. I thanked her.
"Here, I am finished," he said and gave me the list. I nodded and looked down on the names. There were big names on here.
"Ok, can you guys fly," I asked and they nodded.
"Through, Fly, combine your powers and put the powers on me," I told the cards and I appeared to be an angel. I had white wings attached and I was transparent.
"Arigato Cards," I thanked them. They nodded and returned.
"Now, come on," the ghosts said and flew upwards. I followed and they were ahead of me up in the clouds. I laughed like a little child just finding out her mommy got her a present and flew up towards them.
"It's over there," I yelled and pointed to a graveyard. They nodded and we flew to the edge. As we landed, I accidentally put my foot through the ground. I grinned sheepishly and called the cards back. I lost my beautiful wings and my time to go through stuff.
'Oh well, there's more time for training afterwards' I thought.
"Ok, first is Kinsey Mcfort," I said out loud and walked to the graves.
"We're with you child," the ghosts were saying.
"And we are," said 2 voices.
"Yue, Kero. Scat," I told them.
"No, we are not leaving you Sakura," they told us defensively.
"Oh well," I said and walked up to Kinsey's grave. He nodded and I watched him go through his grave.
"Thank you," he whispered and smiled at me.
"Next is Sarah Wheeler," I said and a little girl came up. I looked through the graves and the last one was Sarah.
"Here you are," I told her and she flew to her grave.
"Thanks," she whispered and went to rest in peace.
"Look Sakura, you're changing by little," Kero told me. I nodded and looked at the list. Next was Daniel Kitts.
"You're next to Sarah's," I whispered and he nodded.
"Thank you Card Mistress," he whispered and did the same. I started changing more when the last few left.
"Monica Justice Lowman," I said and pointed. She nodded and thanked me.
Soon enough, there was only one more person left.
"Seth Dean," I whispered and the 2-year-old boy walked to his grave.
"Thank youth," he whispered and walked away, disappearing in the light. He waved bye to me and I waved bye.
"Have a good sleep guys," I whispered softly and I jumped. I realized I didn't have my wings. I gulped and was prepared to fall down on my ass.
"Sorry Mistress but you can take flight yourself. We are fully apart of you now," the cards whispered and went back inside my pocket.
"What? I don't want to leave you guys," I whispered, tears forming into my eyes.
"You haven't left us. We will always be by your side. All we're saying is that you have taken part of our forms now. You can do some of our magic. You have my fire, Dark's darkness, Light's light, Storms creativity to make storms and etc. You can still use us. Just don't forget us," they whispered.
"I don't want these powers. All I wanted was to defeat the evil at hand," I screamed.
"Fine, we'll take half of your form. You will have some of our magic and this is what you can do," they continued, "You can do only elements now. As in Water, Wind, Earth, Fire. You can do those. And if you want to fly, all you have to do is call. But just wait until you look at yourself in the mirror!!!!"
"What do you mean until I look in the mirror," I asked.
"You'll see. Your just a sight to behold," Watery said.
"Whatever. Mirror, please come out," I said and Mirror transformed into me. I gulped and tears started pouring out.
"That's me," I asked, doubtfully.
They nodded.
"This is your true form. You can stay in your false form or this true one at anytime like Yue or Kero can do," the cards said with a pointed at Kero and Yue.
"We'll lets go, Fly, help me," I said and wings with fire appeared on me.
"We need to catch the dance," Kero reminded.
"You don't have to worry," I told him, knowing what he wanted. SWEETS!
Yue laughed a hollow laugh and said, "Sweets is not what you need Keroberus. What you need is vegetables," he laughed a real laugh.
"Yue, Kero, I don't need any help. Just leave me alone," I said and I shot fire at them.
"No, you need help training. Just let us help you," he said.
"Ok, let's stop here," I told them and they nodded.
"Well, you know the elements. Now, all you have to do is concentrate on the element. You call upon it and you picture water. That's all you have to do, now lets see if you can defeat us," they said and started to fight with me.
'Fire!' I thought and I pictured it. I felt heat fly through me and straight at Kero.
"HEY! YOU SINGED MY TAIL," he yelled.
"I'm sorry. I guess let's stop," I told them.
"Yes. Clow Reed picked a powerful Clow Mistress. The last person who tried was very weak and took about 8 years to get challenged by me. It was as long wait I tell you," Yue told me. I nodded my agreement.
"Well, I got to get to Tomoyo's room. I don't want to scare the people coming. Especially the elders," I said sheepishly.
"Those Old Bags? They probably know already," Yue said. I laughed at their names and I flew towards Tomoyo room.
"Where are you going so fast Sakura," asked Eriol from the tree.
"Uh oh," I said and Eriol jumped down. He looked at me in disbelief.
"Oh sorry. You are not Sakura. But you have the same aura. Is that you Sakura," he asked, looking at me with interest.
"AHHHHH," I cried and started running.
"HEY GET BACK HERE," Eriol yelled.
"NO!!!!!!" I ran around the house about a few times.
'Element, fire' I thought and fire flew straight towards Eriol. He ducked down and I jumped onto a car.
"Fly," I said and wings appeared. Fire, Water combined into my wings and wind picked up. I jumped and flew to Tomoyo's room. I opened the window and Tomoyo started yelling. I turned to my false form and put my finger to my mouth to quiet her.
"I TELL YOU, THERES A YOUNG GIRL WHO IS A MONSTER THAT IS UP IN TOMOYO'S ROOM," Eriol was yelling. I grinned sheepishly at Tomoyo and locked the door.
"What are you," she asked, curious.
"That's my true form. Shh, don't tell anyone ok," I asked. She nodded and took out her video camera and started taping me.
"Turn into your form please," she asked and I nodded. I turned into my true form. I turned back as soon as there were pounding at her door.
"Open up," said formidable voices.
"What," I asked and they took me by the arms. They dragged me down and I lowered my head. I looked back and saw Tomoyo look at me with scared eyes.
"Is this her," the guard asked as he threw me down at the floor.
"I'm being real sick and tired of you fucking guards. You deserve some hurting," I whispered. Eriol looked at me. I looked up and saw only Eriol there.
"Oh, but there is nothing you can do Sakura. Was that you who did that magic," he asked. I shook my head.
"That's not her then. And if you touch my half-daughter again like that, I'll make sure you're dead," he said, dangerously.
"Yes sir," the guard said.
"Are you ok Sakura," he asked and gave me a hand up.
"Thank you but next time you make accusations, make sure they are real, not fake," I said and walked up to Tomoyo's room.
"I've made you the best dress for your pregnancy. Here," she said and gave me a dress. It was pink with cherry blossoms. Even though I was skinny, I needed something loose.
"I need to take a shower, be right back and I went inside the shower. About 5 minutes later, I had my dress on. I walked outside and Tomoyo was saying, "Kawaii!!" I gulped and went back inside to put on makeup.
"I'm finished," I called out and Tomoyo said the same.
"Damn, don't you have to take a shower or bath," I asked. She shook her head.
"I've already took one," she said and together, we walked down to the ballroom. It was Beauty and the beats ballroom. Except it didn't have two people, it had many, many people in it.
"Oh, this is so pretty," I called out and some people looked at me.
"Sakura, Tomoyo, come down," Eriol was calling up to us. We nodded and went down the stairs to Eriol's group.
"Sakura, Tomoyo, this is Micheal, Mika, Hiea, and Katie," he pointed out the boys. Micheal and blonde hair and baby blue eyes, Mika was black haired and gray eyed, Hiea had black eyes but was silver haired and Katie was red- haired with green eyes.
"Nice to meet you guys," I said and bowed.
"Nice to meet you too. Eriol, you've got to tell me, which one is your fiancée," Micheal asked, peering at us with interest. I backed away, feeling like I was being examined.
"This is Tomoyo," he said and pointed to the purple haired girl next to me.
"And this is Sakura," Syaoran finished, coming to my side. I smiled up at him and he returned it.
"Sakura, you available," Mika asked. I laughed.
"No she isn't. Actually, she is my fiancée," Syaoran told them. I nodded.
"Aww, too bad," Micheal said.
"Hey, umm Hiea, may I talk to you," Katie asked. I looked sharply at Katie. She wasn't feeling right. She has a temperature.
"Katie come here instead," I called and she came to me.
"I'm telling you, do lay down before you faint," I whispered into her ear. She nodded.
"I'll help her," Yue said. He picked up Katie and started to walk away.
"I have to tell you guys, these guys know all magic. No non magic person in this place," Eriol said.
"Interesting, want to dance Syaoran," I asked. He nodded and a slow song came on. I slow danced with him. As soon as the song ended, I went to the punch table and got some punch.
"Excuse me but-," an announcer was saying but was cut off by something. I turned and felt evil.
"Excuse me for that but right now, I want to kill everyone," he said and turned into a demon.
"How dare he," I growled. People looked at me and saw my aura flaring.
"HOW DARE YOU," I yelled and everyone was looking at me.
"Aww, tired huh? Well that can be arranged," he said and flung his hand. I waved my hand and his attack stopped.
"Now, let me kill you," he said to a little girl.
"You wouldn't dare," I growled. He nodded and was about to suck the soul out of the girl. Everybody looked at me and I grew angrier.
"Card Mistress, temper," he said and the people gasped and looked at me.
"How dare you," I whispered and my rage grew. Yue and Kero flew by my side.
"Calm down Sakura. Don't tell your secret," Kero whispered.
"Too late. She is way out of hand," Yue said, looking at me.
"I'll tell you what's too late," I whispered.
~*~ Syaoran's POV ~*~
"I'll tell you what's too late," Sakura was telling Yue.
"What is," Kero asked.
"This," she whispered and she started glowing. She was covered by light and the cards went around her. They were zapping her.
"Fly," she said and wings were seen.
"What's happening," Micheal asked.
"I saw her today. I told you it was Sakura," Eriol whispered to me.
"I suppose she learned it," I said quietly.
"Hiea, please come here. You are one," Sakura yelled, still covered.
"What," he asked.
"Come," she said and Hiea came near her.
"I'm done, you can turn into your true form," Sakura was saying, pointing to Hiea.
"Well done mistress, you figured out my disguise. Well, what do you expect me to do," he asked.
"Hold this," she said and came out of the light. She gave the light to Hiea and he changed. He turned into an angel. Everyone gasped but not at Hiea, but at Sakura.
Sakura looked like the Fiery Card. She had a band over her head and her head was blazing red then blue. Whenever she stepped, things would burn or be singed.
"You know what, I'm tired of you guys," Sakura yelled. Wind started to blow around her feet and the ultimate challenge was about to begin.
