Chapter Seven: The Dark Realm

Sakura and Syaoran sat quietly huddled together on the couch. ' I can't believe that I was able to get up the courage to ask her.' He thought to himself. 'I bet Touya will have a cow when he finds out.' Syaoran snickered at the thought. Sakura looked up at him. " What's so funny Syaoran?" She asked smiling as well.

" Oh nothing, just, I wonder how we'll approach this battle? I mean, the guy is obviously powerful. But just how powerful is he?" Syaoran crossed his arms and bowed his head, deep in thought. Sakura watched him for a moment. Then getting up, she started to walk towards the door.

" Syaoran.do you feel that?" She asked him. He looked up at her and concentrated. His eyes snapped open. He bolted up and ran toward her.

" Sakura! Move!!!!!" he yelled and shoved her to the ground. They hit it just as a fireball blasted through the window and right over them, leaving the wall behind them singed. Sakura gasped as Syaoran held her.

" Oh Syaoran! He wasn't bluffing when he said the warning was he!" She cried in disbelief. Suddenly, Touya, Kero and Yukito ran into the hallway and saw them on the floor and the singed wall behind them. The ran to them.

" Sakura! What happened!" Touya yelled kneeling down to her level. She looked at them.

" I felt a power then this fireball came at me, luckily Syaoran had sensed it and shoved me to the ground." Touya looked at Syaoran and the look that Touya gave him, was enough for Syaoran to know that he was grateful. They all got up and began to walk back into the living room when the house gave a huge lurch. Sakura stumbled but Syaoran caught her before she fell. It did it again, and the whole house became covered with darkness. They couldn't see anything. They stood there for a moment, everything was silent, then, the darkness cleared to reveal a huge castle in front of them and a swamp wasteland surrounding them. Sakura screamed and grabbed onto Syaoran.

" What is going on!" Kero bellowed. A voice laughed into the night air. They all gazed around the area, looking for the man. Finally, they settled on the castle. There in front of it was the man from Sakura's dream, with the long hair and piercing eyes. He laughed at them again.

" Where are we you monster!?" Syaoran screamed at him. Syaoran waited for his answer. But what he gave was not what Syaoran and the others wanted to hear.

" Welcome. everyone.to the Dark Realm."
