Fang of an Immortal
Chapter Eight
Foul Dissident Magic and a Promise Built on Fire
"What the hell--? Where are you going with that?!?!?!"
Hagrid looked at Ron, then shook his head. Shifting his cross-bow, he glanced nervously around.
"Ah...well...there's been some....difficulties..."
Sakara's bad feeling got worse.
"Are you coming, or not, Hagrid!"
The group looked over to see a centaur, scraping the ground with his hoof. Then he saw Sakura.
"You..." Sakura recognized him right away. This was the centaur who warned her the night she went to heal Moonspear.
Hagrid heard Sakura's whispered utter and looked from Sakura then to the centaur, then back at Sakura again. Finally he rested his gaze on the centaur.
"Do you know her, Nasser?"
The centaur paid no attention to Hagrid.
"Woods sister!"
"Um...uh...hi..."
Nassar trotted over to Sakura.
"It's Storm! He...was attacked by whatever attacked Moonspear that other night!"
"What are yeh talking about?" Hagrid asked.
"What?! Storm? Where is he?"
"Is anyone listening to me?"
"I'll take you to him! Hop on!"
"Hey!!! WAIT!"
But it was too late. Sakura was riding off into the woods already.
~~~
Sakura held on to Nassar as they raced through the forest. She knew something was up. Two unicorns in such a short time--something had gone terribly wrong--She could taste the bitter flavor of Dissident Magic in the air. She didn't know how she could not have smelled it before.
She hadn't studied with Zopdui long, but she knew enough about Dissident Magic to know the number one rule aobut it--STAY AWAY! It was one of the most powerful magics there were, and Immortal Magic could do no more than bind it. Dissident Magic creatures were often very dangerous, and had a particular sense for bloodlust, and many Necromancers used this kind of magic to raise the dead against others. Of course, it hasnt gone to too much of an extreme in over eight-thousand, nine-hundred years. But still...
Sakura could feel the adrenaline raceing through her. She almost choked on the taste of this deadly aura as it tried to swallow her whole. Even Nassar was slowing down. Sakura knew what she had to do.
"Stay here." She hopped off of the centaur and raced towards the dying unicorn. She collopsed in front of him and cried for both his life and hers. All she could manage was a choked "Scram" as the unicorn became a blur.
~~~
"WHERE'S SAKURA?!?!" Harry yelled, despite the fact that Nassar looked as if he couldn't even stand up without the support of the tree the centaur was leaning on. But suddenly Syaoran broke into a sprint. Harry stared after him.
"Where the hell is he going--?" Then he realized: Syaoran! If he's going where Sakura is--how would he know she was there? Wait! If he knew, then he must have been behind all this! And if he was, he couldn't let Sakura alone with him for one second! Harry broke out into a run. "Damn he's fast!" Harry grumbled.
"SAKURA!"
Harry looked up at Syaoran's out cry.
Laying in a pool of unicorn's blood, was Sakura. Syaoran knelt right in the puddle and helped Sakura sit up.
"SAKURA! ARE YOU OK?!?!?!"
Suddenly Sakura tried to push away. But it was a feeble attempt and it didn't do anything.
"No...you...can't have me..."
"What?! Sakura! It's me!"
"You're..." Sakura squinted. "You're not the...necromancer? Syaoran?"
"What happened?" Syaoran yelled, worried.
"Diss....Disseden--" Suddenly she passed out.
Syaoran held her close, cradling her like she was a child. Then, gathering her up in his arms, he stood up.
"I'll carry her if she's too heavy for you." Harry offered, secretly wanting to keep Sakura away from Li. Li seemed not to have heard him.
"Does this girl eat at all..?!" Syaoran muttered.
Suddenly the others bust into the small clearing.
"SAKURA!" Tomoyo fairly shrieked.
"We have to get her to the hospital wing." Syaoran said. He started to walk towards the way they came through but he stopped infront of Harry. "Dont get in my way." Syaoran snarled to him so that only Harry would be able to hear. With that he started running back to the path.
Harry stared after Li, his eyes wide, partly because of what he had said and partly because Li could run that fast while carrying a girl.
~~~
When Sakura opened her eyes, she realized she was in the infirmitary. And also realized Syaoran was in the chair next to her, with his head on the bed, sleeping, the sunlight pouring over him...SUNLIGHT!
'He stayed with me all night...'
As if he had a sixth sense, he woke up. He looked at her...and turned bright red. Sakura laughed inwardly. This was the Syaoran she knew.
"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-what happened last night?" He stammered, looking away.
"Oh, well...um...uh...PHWEE!" Syaoran looked at Sakura inquisitivly. "I CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED AFTER NASSAR AND I GOT TEN METERS INTO THE WOODS!!!!!!!!!!!"
To Syaoran, everything between those words and where they were now was just a blur. It was nine thirty, and everyone had already gotten in bed. They sat in the Gryffindor Common room, with the fire roaring beside them.
"Sakura...I can't help but think you're hiding something." Syaoran came right out with it. Sakura looked up in surprise.
"Syaoran? Do you...trust me?"
He looked down at her. "Of course, but..."
"But nothing! There are no buts when it comes to trust." Sakura got up and walked over to the fire place.
She had been cuddled up against Syaoran on the couch, and the abrupt departure made Syaoran feel...empty...as if he had a cavity in his spirit.
"Sakura..."
Sakura crouched infront of the fire.
"What are you doing? SAKURA!"
The girl's hand fluttered into the fire--or rather *under* it--the hottest part. Her fingers closed around a fiercly glowing ember. Syaoran lurched forward, ready for the ear-shattering scream.
But it never came.
Sakura stood up and turned to face Syaoran. She extended her arm and unfolded her fingers to reveal the ember, sparks still flying from it.
"Syaoran..." The strange, glassy look appeared in Sakura's eyes agian. "Do you trust me?"
Syaoran's eyes widened. He looked at the ember and then at Sakura. Her eyes pierced into his, and she seemed so far away. He felt as if he reached out to her, she wouldn't be there.
'I don't want her to go away.' His heart pounded in his head. 'I want her here. I want her to be close to me. I want her to be with me.' He didn't dare close his eyes. He thought that if he did, she would be gone. 'I want her.' His thoughts echoed back at him in his head, yelling at him, chiding him, mocking him. 'I want her. I want her. I want her. I love her...'
His arm shot out and his hand closed around the ember. He winced, waiting for the searing pain. But just like the scream, it receded into non-existance. He turned his hand over, and opened it. There, in the shape of the emeber, was a mini-cage of glass with fire raging inside it.
Although he had no idea what had happened, he knew exactly what it was. He had just made a commitment. And he was glad he had. Looking up at Sakura, whose eyes were glowing with warmth and love, he knew he loved her more than anything. He reached out and pulled her close. Their breaths mingled and their lips met in a firm, but loving kiss as the fire in the fireplace died down, retreating to a soft glow, and the shadows danced around them, making the couple the only piece of reality in the room.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! WASN'T IT KAWAII!!!! I LURVE IT! Of course this chappie sucked...-_-;;; I'm so sorry to keep ya'll waiting, but I was soooooooooo busy....but the good news is...TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! I'LL HAVE TIME TO WRITE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO STUDY FOR THOSE CURSED EXAMS! WHOO!
Erin: *pops out of no where* wait a minute...I thought you were to lazy to study?
Sharky: uh...
Erin: And how could you have been studying if you were with me these past two months. We've been out at the mall or at the pool, or bike riding, or just hanging out, like, everyday? What did you do, stay up all night?
Sharky: AAAAAAAAA! *claps hand over Erins mouth* ahahahaha...You didn't hear anything...nope...not a word....
BTW: Silva Sun...I actually have all four books and I'm saving up for the fith, so no, I didn't just see the movie...and I know, my story sucks. This chapter will be the worst of all. Also, I stole something from Tamora Peirce's "Song of the Lioness" series....you'll know what it is ^_~
