Chapter Fifteen: Darkness Vanquished or Sustained?
" I'm back" smirked Syaoran. Jerith jumped back from surprise. He noticed that Syaoran had his sword with him.
" But how?" Jerith stuttered in confusion.
Syaoran walked slowly toward him while speaking, " You see, you missed one major detail in your little plan Jerith. Something that a heartless being like yourself could never grasp." Syaoran whispered almost on top of Jerith. Jerith backed up against the wall. 'How, how could he be so strong. His power is rolling off of him. It's almost unbearable.'
" And what would that be boy?" Jerith asked, not showing his fear of the boy, no, man he once thought was weak.
" Love, Jerith, love. My love for Sakura has sustained me and pushed me far beyond what I thought my power would reach. I want her back along with the cards Jerith. And I want you gone!" Syaoran lunged at Jerith only to meet with empty air. He looked around quickly trying to pinpoint him. Syaoran spotted Jerith running for the door, and he followed him closely. Once out in the open, he ran as fast as his legs would carry him up to the main hall. Syaoran reached it just to see the same black ball come flying at him like before. This time however, he dodge rolled to the other side and bounded up in one fluid motion. He charged Jerith and their swords clashed with a sharp clang and spark of electricity. Unknown to both combatants, Sakura had traveled down from her room. She watched in shock and horror as Syaoran fought against that monster. Syaoran spotted her and hesitated, but that was enough, Jerith slammed into him knocking him flat on his back.
" Syaoran!" she screamed out to him. Jerith laughed evilly and walked up to the fallen Syaoran. He held his sword tip against Syaoran's throat. " No, not again." Sakura whispered. Jerith smiled and readied to take a swing, Syaoran tried to grip his sword, but found that it had flown at least a yard from his outstretched hand when he had fallen. It was over, and Syaoran knew it. Without the cards, nothing could be done to stop his inevitable demise. Jerith swung down on him. In that instant, Sakura screamed out in anguish. Jerith stopped right above Syaroans' chest. But that one hesitation would cost him dearly. Because as Sakura screamed, he watched in horror as her Star Key and the cards all appeared in front of her. She stopped tears streaming down her face. Syaoran saw their chance and yelled to her.
" Sakura! Do it!!!" He screamed out. Sakura nodded and took hold of the Star Key. Saying the spell it transformed into the staff. Jerith yelled at her to stop. He began to run at her. Syaoran got up and tried to stop him. But he saw that it was too late for Jerith. Sakura had used the Void. He watched in horror filled fascination, as Jerith disappeared into his own darkness, never to return. Syaoran and Sakura stood there a moment in shock that it was all over. Then, the sudden sound of a piece of the ceiling falling behind them brought them back to reality. Syaoran grabbed Sakura and they used the Move card to transport to where the others were. Holding on to the two, they all got out of the crumbling castle. Standing still and watching as the castle dissolved into nothing, Sakura through her arms around Syaoran and hugged him with all that she was worth. Suddenly, everything around them disappeared and Sakura's living room reappeared around them. They all sighed in relief. Sakura looked to Syaoran.
" Looks like we didn't need to worry about the stupid Prophecy huh?" She smiled at him.
" Yeah, looks like it." And they stood there hugging, with the knowledge that they could all live in peace now that Jerith was gone for good.

A man laughed to himself. " One day, I will return."
Or Is He?
