Chapter 12

Final Battle part 2

Last time

"Sakura you can't hide I know this place inside and out." She heard his voice 'he's searching for me he can't see in the darkness good. Now I should use sand to really trap him and.' she stopped her thought. "Sakura what are you going to do what would you like to know come on ask me." Sakura sighed this was not the Jack she remembered he seemed different almost as if he was a..

"Different spirit why Sakura I'm glad you noticed. You do know that Jack is here by the way he says hi. so tell me can you really destroy me without destroying an innocent soul huh. come on you can tell me." Sakura stood there finally realizing what she had to do to make it out alive sacrifice her own life. What a combination, give up your life here to survive somewhere else. What card would pull it out would make it so that she could destroy it..

Present

Erase could erase people but that would mean that Jack would be gone. she would use that last if she had to.Change it was the only way out she had to use it. void or erase. that was it only those three could be used in this problem.

"Sakura I know what you are thinking. that you can destroy me with the erase card." Sakura stopped he didn't know what she was thinking he had just guessed. then what about all the times that he came and got into her mind. "come out Sakura and I might just let you live." Sakura smiled at herself he was weak that's why, too weak to break her barrier.

"so what's your real name if you're not Jack?" she heard a laugh from the other side of the warehouse.

"why Sakura I'm glad you asked me. It's Shine. you know what that means don't you come on Sakura tell me what does it mean." Sakura knew then who he was. her father had spoke of the strong spirit only once.

Flashback

"Sakura what story do you want to hear about tonight." Her father sat down next to her on the bed.

"daddy I want to hear about the time you fought the big bad." Sakura smiled and her father smiled back weakly this was the story she loved. Her father defeated the monster and sent it away to the darkness.

"well you know it so well that you could tell me.. do you remember its name?" Sakura nodded energetically.

"yes Shine." Sakura thought for a minute. "But daddy doesn't that mean die." Her father nodded.

"now I think its time that you go to bed." Sakura nodded and closed her eyes as her father left the room.

End of Flashback

"die." Her voice was barely above a whisper.

"yes Sakura my name means the very thing that I do how do you think I got the name. come now Sakura did you really think that you could defeat death." Sakura looked around and pulled out the Dash and called on it silently. Sakura stopped not far from where Jack was and pulled out the power calling on it silently to give her its power she finally broke the silence that was filling the morning.

"No I do not believe I can kill death. you are not death just a Teme (insult) spirit with no real sense of direction. So you decide to take others because you can't stand not belonging. So come now Shine fight me and let us see who is the stronger and who has the right to walk this earth." Shine smiled it was all that he expected from Sakura and more. She was more powerful then he could ever imagine and it would give him great pleasure to finally take her.

"Yes Sakura lets see who has the right to walk this earth." He pulled himself into a fighting stance. Sakura could see the dark aura spread and reach for her brilliant one. Sakura's own had a barrier to protect it, but for the first time she released her full power shattering the barrier. At first Shine was surprised at her sudden burst of power, but got over it quickly when she came rushing towards him with all her power. Her first blow landed hard on his right cheek. But he recovered fast. Sakura was ready and waiting as they through punch after punch at each other. It didn't pause Sakura could feel the day slipping by slowly, but not only that she also felt. no heard a car pulling up near the warehouse.

"Shimatta," she suddenly heard Shine yell.

"Problem," Sakura said with a smile, he was getting weaker by the minute he couldn't hold this body to her for much longer.

"No we have a guest though." Shine turned to face the door. "Hello Jen I wasn't expecting you till tomorrow." Sakura could see her but Jen apparently Jen couldn't see her.

"I caught an early flight so where is she?" Sakura could see him smile at her reaction. Sakura couldn't believe that Jen knew Jack.

"Well dear Imoto she's here." Jen looked around. Sakura looked at Jen then back at Jack and finally noticed that they were much more similar. she couldn't believe how she missed it. Jen was his Imoto (younger sister)

"I don't see her Oniichan." Jen was still looking around.

"But Jen before I tell you where she is can you tell me who I am?" Jen looked straight at him.

"Jack nock it off where is she?" Jack didn't answer. "Jack... Nani. your not my Oniichan. what have you done?" Shine smiled.

"Jen did you really think that your brother was different from the enemy that Sakura was fighting. You unwittingly helped me. thank you, for now Sakura will be mine and you. well you will get what you deserve.. Dear Imoto." Sakura finally pulled change and whispered to it.

"Change him bring forth Jack and push back Shine." She called if forth before Jack could make a move. His body suddenly convulsed as Change jumped on him and pulled forth the hidden spirit.

"Jack," Jen finally saw Sakura. "Sakura. what happened?" Sakura ran over to Jack.

"We don't have long before Shine comes back I need to know something." she shook Jack as he was on the floor. "Jack listen to me. can you live without Shine?"

"I don't know he. he wasn't always like this he saved me then he was different now his spirit is destroyed by the lust in his heart." Sakura nodded.

"I'm going to try to use the move to remove him from your body." Sakura pulled the card from the deck and whispered to it what she wanted it to do.

"Can you do that?" Sakura shrugged her shoulders and called upon the card to do her bidding. Suddenly the move pulled the spirit forward form Jack. Shine stood there for a second not really understanding what was going on until he saw Jen standing next to Jack. He felt the small hold he have on both Sakura and Jack snap as a fish caught on a hook, and swim away.

"What have you done?" Sakura's face hardened with acetone.

"What have I done. you killed my parents and tried to kill one of my best friends. even me. Why shouldn't I destroy you? You are a simple spirit that feeds off of others pain and suffering. Now it is time to end this. Void. come." Sakura was interrupted by Shine and Jack.

"Sakura if you use that it will." Sakura's face showed emotion for a second.

"I know the cost and I'm willing to take it if it means getting rid of this kisama from the world." Sakura nodded her head and looked back at Shine to see him standing not five feet from her.

"If I go you will too." Sakura face hardened with anger.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Jen was whispering to Jack so that Sakura wouldn't hear. "Void come forth and take this spirit forever from this world." Suddenly a woman appeared she seemed sadder then the others almost as if she regretted doing what she must. The woman's voice was crystal clear like falling water.

"You know the price. who will pay?" Before Sakura could speak both Jack and Jen spoke up as one.

"We do." It was said in unison and was powered by their belief and strength. Sakura turned to them and shook her head but it was too late. The Void turned to them, and shook her head.

"Then so shall it be two lives to encase this one. To keep it safe from this world," she opened a hole and it started to pull Shine into it. He turned to her and grabbed a hold of her with his spiritual cold fingers grasping her flesh like clothing.

"I will not go without you. you sent me there I want you to suffer with Me." his voice was cold and chilling to the bone. Sakura pulled away from him. "You can not escape me forever."

"I don't have to you will be sealed forever in a pure encase of family souls." Sakura shook her head the two didn't know what they were giving up. His grasp was firmer this time and she couldn't pull away. Sakura looked over at Jack and Jen they were already close enough to hear what was going on. Jen pulled away from Jack and stepped to the opposite side of Sakura. Jack soon followed standing by Shine.

"Shine this has gone on to long." He yelled over the growing sound of the void card.

"Sakura its time you should go." Jen was so sweet, but Sakura shook her head.

"No its time to end this and the best way to end it, is to seal him myself. I'm sorry Jen, Jack, and Syaoran. I am needed I have to save the world I am the only one powerful enough to seal him. goodbye my friends." Sakura suddenly pulled her power together creating a blinding light around her. Pushing Jen and Jack far enough away to be safe. Sakura's voice suddenly took flight, over the town to the mansion to the living room where everyone was silently waiting for her to return home.

"Touya, Eriol, Tomoyo, Midori, Meiling, Yelan, Fuutie, Shiefa, Fanren, Feimei, and Syaoran." As her voice traveled across the room each of their heads shot up looking around but not seeing her. "Touya I am sorry that I couldn't be the sister that you wanted me to be. Eriol thank you for the belief in me to finish the battle alone. Tomoyo never stop filming it will one day be the only thing left. Midori please don't be shy tell him how you feel. or maybe you already have. Meiling thank you for being you and he's not here I think he just went home to get something for you he should be home soon. Yelan thank you for your kindness and the gift. Fuutie, Shiefa, Fanren, and Feimei don't give up on your dreams and lower the voices a little you might be a singing group. Syaoran," they could hear her sigh. She suddenly appeared transparently at the entrance, "I lived with you and saw you as no one ever saw you." Syaoran rose from his seat and walked over to her. "You made me smile for the first time since my family died. I finally knew what joy and happiness was. you taught me to love." she gave him a rare smile that was reserved for him.

"Sakura don't. don't do it." Syaoran knew that this was goodbye but he didn't want her to say it.

"Syaoran I love you, thank you, please love again." she slowly placed her transparent hand on his face. He felt the slight warmth from them but it wasn't the same as having her right there.

"Let me see." Sakura stared to shake her head. "Please Sakura let me see I want to know." Sakura slowly nodded touching his eyes. He saw before him Sakura floating in the air she was covered in a bright light.

"Goodbye my love." Sakura looked down at the spirit before her, suddenly she turned into a glowing orb heading straight for him. She slammed into him without hesitation, pushing him right into the void. Syaoran was shocked he couldn't believe what he just saw. She gave up everything to protect the world. He closed his eyes but when he opened them he still saw the scene before him. He noted that there was a man and a woman lying not far from where Sakura was. They were unconscious, he knew that he had to go to see if they were okay.

"Mother I will be back soon... Touya I could use your help." Touya looked up at Syaoran's back and nodded getting to his feet. The two left without a word to anyone.

Noon at the Li Mansion

Syaoran sat down on the chair outside the guest room, this room was not Sakura's hers was near his and his was across the mansion. The doctor was inside now evaluating the two that they had brought back from the warehouse. Syaoran knew right away that the girl was Sakura's friend for she had once mentioned it. He wasn't allowing his mind to think at this point he was afraid that he would lose it. So he sat there like a lost puppy waiting to find out if the guests would live.

Meiling was sitting not far from him on the floor, trying to figure out Sakura's words about him only going home. This was what was perplexing her because it had been six hours since Sakura had left. No one was sure if she was dead but they all thought that Syaoran knew, but he hadn't said a word since Touya and he returned with the couple.

"Meiling if you are really that worried about him go and see him he doesn't live far he's more then likely sleeping." Meiling looked over at Syaoran and he was smiling it was a sad smile, one that held a deep sadness deeper then she was willing to explore so she looked away.

"Syaoran is she." Meiling couldn't finish it was just too much to say.

"Meiling. I don't know." Syaoran sighed and looked away from Meiling. "What I saw. well I just wish I knew." Meiling sat there for another minute then got to her feet and walked away, but before she was out of hearing distance she turned.

"You know Syaoran, Sakura is different from any other person I have ever known. She's strong and fast. You know she reminds me a lot of you when you were younger. I'm glad that Eriol showed up when he did. you are a lot nicer and caring now. thank you." Meiling walked away without a word. Syaoran stared at his feet what was he going to do? And was Sakura really gone? Would he ever see that smile that she gave him alone?

"Master Li," he was pulled from his thoughts by a voice above him. Syaoran looked up at the young doctor.

"How are they?" the doctor shook his head.

"The woman she's fine, she should be back on her feet as soon as she wakes up. but the man I'm surprised he's even living. It's almost like he's holding on by a string. like someone's holding onto him so that he won't disappear." The doctor sighed and turned to leave.

"Hey doc, do you think it's a possibility for a person to come back from the brink of death." The doctor was caught off guard by his sudden question.

"Well if you believe enough then maybe. but I've never heard of it happening." Syaoran looked away as the doctor left the mansion. Syaoran soon rose to his feet and entered the guest room were the two figures lay on two different beds. He stood there looking at the figures. He wished that one of them would wake up soon and tell him what really happened. As if on queue the female started to show sighs of conciseness. He stayed where he was so as not to scare her.

"Sakura." he heard the woman whisper. "Sakura." the woman suddenly sat up and looked around as if searching. Her search was in vain but her eyes finally landed on Syaoran. "Where is she?"

"I was hoping you could tell me." Syaoran walked over to the bed and sat down. "Li Syaoran." His voice was saddened by the fact that this woman gave no additional information on Sakura's whereabouts.

"Jen. Are you Chief Li?" Jen's voice was timid in the silent room. Syaoran shook his head.

"But I loved Sakura." Jen looked at him and shook her head.

"Is Touya her." her sentence was cut off as a bright light emanated from the center of the room and they heard some voices.

"Shine this is it stop trying to reach the outside it will never work." It was Sakura's voice strong and glistening. Almost as if it was the fire in her itself.

"That's Sakura she's here I have to take her place." Jen paused looking at Syaoran and rose from the bed walking to her brother and kissing him on the cheek. "Syaoran I want you to make sure that she comes back alive I can take care of him." she heard rustling behind her.

"Jen you and I both know that a sibling bond is stronger, come and help me stand." Jen nodded and helped her brother to the light.

"Syaoran at midnight go to the warehouse, if she can return she will then. Tell her I'm sorry and tell Touya that I had a good time." Jack nodded not able to say another word. Together the pair jumped into the light and disappeared. Syaoran sat on the floor and thought through some things before rising and leaving the room.

Living Room

"Eriol do you really think that Sakura's. gone." Eriol looked over at Tomoyo who was watching the snow fall outside.

"Tomoyo my love I don't feel her presence. she could very well be." Eriol hated telling the truth but was really bad at lying besides he knew that Tomoyo would get it out of him anyway.

"I was afraid of that. do you think that there is a way to make her return since it was a magical death." Eriol thought about it, it had been done once or twice but for Sakura's power level there was no telling if she really could be resurrected.

"I'm not sure." Eriol took Tomoyo by the shoulders and embraced her, as she began to cry. He sighed it was disturbing the way that she was just gone. "I think its time to go see Kero and Yue." Tomoyo suddenly took a step back.

"What do you mean aren't they dead?" Eriol shook his head. "Jack created an illusion and captured them. Sealed them I found them soon afterward but it was hard to get close to Sakura. She needed to do this alone they knew that. That's why they wouldn't come back until it was finished." Tomoyo nodded and sat down. Then her eyes lit up, "Tomoyo what are you planning?"

"Why Eriol I just realized that the play. it should be different that instead I got it. Eriol sweetheart I have to go." He nodded as she kissed him and ran out the door to her room. Eriol sighed and soon followed her heading for the basement.

Kitchen

Meiling sat listening to return to innocence, Meiling smiled she loved this song. Listening to it always gave her such contentment. She rose to her feet and started to do some drills. As the song continued she matched her body with the beat. As it came to its end slowly she decreased her movements in tune. When the last tunes of the song died down, Meiling finally stopped. Without turning around she knew who it was that was standing behind her.

"Nasai I'm glad that you are okay. You had me worried I thought that you had gone after Sakura." Meiling turned around and looked at him up and down he was wearing blue jeans and a white wife beater.

"Worried about me really. That's so sweat, but Meiling don't worry. I am very capable of taking care of myself." Meiling walked over to him and slapped him.

"I don't care weather you are or not if you ever do that again I will never come back to you." Meiling was furious, but her eyes flickered with sadness. "Nasai did you go with Sakura?" Nasai shook his head. "She went to the battle this morning and she didn't come back." Meiling looked behind Nasai to the living room where Eriol and Tomoyo had just left. Without warning she saw Syaoran take the stairs two at a time and then was out the door in a flash. "What time is it?" Nasai looked at his watch and shook his head.

"its10." Meiling thought about where he might be going and suddenly realized that he had been waiting up stairs for the guest to wake up. Her face suddenly went pale. "Meiling are you okay?" she shook her head.

"Syaoran just left and he was supposed to be watching the guest we believed that they knew the whereabouts of Sakura. Syaoran just ran out the door." Nasai shook his head.

"What does that mean?" Meiling looked at him.

"It means that a she's dead and he's gone for her body. or b he didn't believe what they told him." Nasai shook his head.

"I've known Sakura a long time. believe me when I say that there is no way that she is dead have faith in her. She's way top strong to give up now.

Dragonia: sorry it took so long to update but I'm working on a few other things so I'm really sorry.

Sakura: you killed me!

Syaoran: no she just made you leave.

Kero: hey you bring us back but don't let us in. not fair.
