The Final Battle

~* Sakura *~

          As we last saw Sakura she had encountered snakes and spiders only she had used the erase card to get rid of them all and continued running from the spirits of the camp.   

Sakura has been running through the forest for quite some time now and as she is running she looked over her shoulder to see if any one was behind her.  Once she realized that no one was there she slowed her pace down to a half walking half jogging.   Just as she faced forward she felt her self falling into a hole that is a good couple feet deep.  ~ "Oh great how am I going to get out of this one?"~ Sakura thought. 

~*Stephanie*~

          Stephanie is sitting on the purple plush pillow watching Sakura struggle to get out of the hole that she had managed to fall into.  Then Stephanie thought to herself. ~"Soon Kinomoto you will meet you're death! ~" then she transported herself to another time and space for the preparations of the final battle.

------Syaoran and Eriol ------

          Eriol was busy muttering incantations under his breath to get rid of all the spiders and such that walked into their path. Some of the spiders they had encountered.  "Hey Eriol guess you're not so bad to have around after all." Syaoran said as he patted Eriol on the shoulder and giving off his famous smirk.   Eriol just rolled his eye's as they continued their walk. 

         

          "Don't forget my cute little descendent that you have magic as well and you could be helping me." Eriol said.   Eriol you know I am only trained in martial arts and my magic is for fighting only if my mother every found out I used it for anything else she would through a fit." Syaoran said seriously.   "Ah yes the famous Syaoran Li scared of his mother." Eriol laughed out. 

 "That does it. Take this!"  Syaoran shouted as he turned his medallion into his sword and used his enchantment paper of wind to knock Eriol off his feet."   Just then a voice echoed through the forest.  "Remember young worriers you are here to find you're friend do not waver you're friendship."   A mysterious voice said that echoed around the forest.  

          "Eriol knock it off I know you're CLOWREED." Syaoran said through clenched teeth. "HEY! I don't have a girls voice you git." Eriol shouted as he tried unsuccessfully to get up onto his feet again since he had fallen in a puddle of water.    Syaoran just smirked and walked over to Eriol and offered Eriol his hand to help him up. Eriol took it and pulled Syaoran down with him in the water. "Hm serves you right Syaoran." Eriol said with a laugh as he picked himself up out of the water.  Syaoran picked himself up with ease and they continued to walk.

~*Sakura*~

          Sakura is climbing out of the hole that she had managed to fall into because of the spirits had chased her out of the cabin and into the deepest parts of the woods as to were the campers and counselors had died so many years ago. 

          Sakura has her elbows propped up on the edge of the hole and when she looked up she saw someone whom she did not want to see.  Sakura's sparkling green eye's widened in fear as she saw Rhyu floating in the air so close to her.   Then in a flash Rhyu reached down and grabbed Sakura by the arm, and vanished.  In the spot that were the Cherry Blossom once occupied an echoing scream had erupted from her lips and echoed through out the forest.

------Syaoran and Eriol------

          As Eriol and Syaoran walked on they were relieved to see that there were no more spiders or snakes and relaxed a bit.   Just as they thought nothing could get any worse they heard a scream echoing through out the forest and they could not tell which direction it was coming from.   ~Sakura~  Syaoran and Eriol thought.    Just then a form of two people  started to materialize in front of Syaoran and Eriol.

          ~What is this?~ Thought Eriol.    "Ah I see that Stephanie and I have finally crossed the path that has upset our two little heroes."  Rhyu said as he held Sakura bridle style in his arms and she has been bounded by the wrist and ankles with ropes, and has a white hanker- shift that is around her mouth so that she can't speak.   

 Syaoran jumped in front of Eriol and shouted.  "LET HER GO NOW OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!"    Syaoran shouted as he changed his medallion into the sword.    Rhyu just watched in amusement at the trick Syaoran had done.   Syaoran on the other hand is furious his eyes are filled with a burning rage of flames and has the sword facing Rhyu and ready to strike.  

          "I don't think so." Rhyu said as he put a Sakura in a floating bubble that couldn't be broken. Then he descended towards the ground and walked right next to Syaoran.   "Put that away."  Rhyu said. "Let's have a hand to hand fight no swords unless you are scared that is and I can understand that since I am the most powerful person here." Rhyu said talking highly of himself.    Syaoran thought for a second and then gave Rhyu the most, coldest glare with amber golden eyes which had been lit with fire. "Fine but just to warn you I am trained in martial arts and can kick you're ass any day!" Syaoran shouted.  Rhyu just nodded and got into a fighting stance.    "I'm ready when you are!" Syaoran said.  Eriol who is watching with interest didn't enter fear with this.

         

          Rhyu came running at Syaoran and was about to throw a punch right at Syaoran's nose.  Only that didn't quite happen because Syaoran new that Rhyu was going to start off with that so he jumped in the air and did a round house kick and kicked Rhyu right in the shins letting Rhyu fall to the ground.   Rhyu picked himself up and tried another approach.  Rhyu through a combination of attacks at Syaoran this time. He through punches and kicks.  Syaoran blocked all of Rhyu's pathetic attempts by diving left and right, somersaults, fallowed by jumps and hand blocks.

Once Rhyu had hit Syaoran in the stomach but Syaoran hadn't flinched at the weak attempt of Rhyu.  "Are you through yet?" Syaoran asked as Rhyu stood there eyes' widened in shock.   "Not in you're life!" Rhyu shouted.   "Good because it's now my turn."   Syaoran started out with a Round house kick and knocked Rhyu off his feet and had then grabbed Rhyu in a head lock.  "Give up yet?" Syaoran asked as he let Rhyu go so that he could get up.   Sakura on the other hand was amazed at how Syaoran has improved over the years of fighting. Sakura secretly smiled at this.

 "I would watch it you have a very precious flower in my hands and you never know what could happen to her." Rhyu said with an evil grin forming on Rhyu's lips.  Eriol then stepped in, and summoned his golden staff with the sun on it.  "Rhyu would you like to go in battle with me?" Eriol asked in the most serious tone of voice that not even Syaoran had heard yet.  "You're on CLOWREED!" Rhyu smirked. 

 ~Rhyu not now save it for the battle transport them now I have every thing ready for the fight.~ Stephanie said telepathically to her brother Rhyu just nodded. 

The next thing Syaoran and Eriol new was that they were floating in air and fell unconscious. When Eriol and Syaoran opened their eyes they found themselves in a totally different dimension.  Eriol and Syaoran looked around them.  The sky is a mixture of dark colors swirling around. The ground is the exact replica of the sky. The entire dimension holds evil vibes to it.   What made things worse is that Sakura is still in the hands of Rhyu and Stephanie and they were no were in site.

~* Stephanie Rhyu and Sakura *~

 "Looks like Syaoran and his buddy have come for you after all Kinomoto."   Stephanie said as she walked over to Sakura who is sitting on a chair and took off the gag around her mouth.   "Of course they would they are my FRIENDS! They'd do anything for me 'because they know that I would do the same!" Sakura shouted.  As she tried to free her wrist and ankles for they had been bounded together by Rhyu.  Just then Rhyu slapped Sakura across the face.   Sakura's head slightly moved to the left. 

 "Don't you ever say that!" Rhyu said with frustration, there are no such things as friends and you and I are meant to be so get over you're self!"  Sakura just snickered at this.  "Rhyu Rhyu… you have no idea what friend ship is do you?" Sakura asked in a soft voice as she turned her head to look at him with her green eye's lit with life that Rhyu had never seen before. 

          "You have lived in a world with out love and friendship."  I know I am right Rhyu. Tell me I am aren't I?"   ENOUGH! Shouted Stephanie.   It's TIME FOR THE FINAL BATTLE I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU STARTING WITH YOU KINOMOTO!"   Stephanie said with an angered voice which could mean only one thing. Stephanie is pissed off and not in a good mood.

Stephanie held out her right palm facing upwards in front of her and a crystal appeared.  Stephanie's blue sapphire eyes widened with delight as the deep violet purple crystal glimmered and hovered in the palm of her hand.  The dark mysterious crystal appeared out of now were as if it had been hiding in its own world awaiting for it to be summoned by it's master or mistress.  

 Stephanie then put her left hand over the crystal while her right hand is under it.  Next  her fingers on her left hand did some sort of dance around the crystal and then in a flash Rhyu, Sakura and Stephanie herself disappeared from the crystalline palace that had been created from evil vibes and different dimensions.

When they reappeared they were at the edge of the forest were the campers of Camp Spirit Moon had died centuries ago.   Stephanie lead the way too the cabin that was only a few feet from them.  Once they arrived at the old rickety cabin Stephanie opened the door and had let Rhyu go in first.     Sakura is in an uncomfortable position. She is hanging over Rhyu's left shoulder and Rhyu has his arm wrapped around her lower back.   "Let ME GO NOW!" Sakura had screamed out in frustration.  Sakura's wrist and ankles are starting to get swore from the rope that has been tied to tightly and is cutting into her soft delicate skin   Stephanie just smirked at Sakura's pointless efforts of escape as Stephanie watched Rhyu put Sakura in a sitting position on the old cotton bed.

------Syaoran and Eriol ------

          Syaoran and Eriol had been walking around the strange dimension for about nine hours.  Then they came upon yet another forest only it didn't look as big as the other.  WHAT is up with forest's Syaoran said in an exaggerated voice.  "Well I bet this could lead us to where Stephanie and Rhyu are. I mean come on they wouldn't transport us here for nothing would they?" Eriol asked.   "Fine let's go through the forest." Syaoran said as he new he wouldn't be able to change Eriol's mind.   The forest is dark and eerie looking as Syaoran and Eriol entered and they were hopping that nothing evil lived in it. 

          When they came to the thinning of the trees they slowly emerged out of the forest and looked around.   "Hey look over there!" Syaoran said as he noticed a cabin.  "Maybe that's were Sakura is!" Eriol said with a hint of relief.

Just then Syaoran burst out of the end of the forest followed by Eriol.   They saw a cabin not far from them and started running towards it. Once they arrived at the door they jiggled the handle to see if it were unlocked but to their dismay it had been.    So the only thing they could think of and as stupid as it sounded they knocked on the door to see if any one would come to open it. 

~* INSIDE THE CABIN*~

Rhyu spun around. The banging at the door revealed the two teens had reached the cabin.

"Stephanie, they're here. We got to move."

"Not without killing her first."

Rhyu glanced wildly at Sakura. How he longed for her, he had to save her. "No, we cannot do this here. It has to take place in the woods behind the house. We are too restricted here, not enough exits in a pinch and if I must battle these two, I need some room."

Stephanie pouted, "Fine" she grunted, making toward the back. "Bring her."

"Gladly" Rhyu mumbled.

******************** Syaoran and Eriol

"What are you grinning at?" The chestnut haired boy inquired, rubbing his shoulder.

"Descendant, you do have it bad."

Syaoran was at a loss for words. "What do you mean?" Didn't he want to save his friend as much as he did?

Eriol, smirking with his arms crossed against the wall, informed him, "The door is sealed with magic. You have it bad because you can't sense that, you're in blind rage. But enough of that. Let's go rescue Sakura." With a snap of his fingers the door open. Eriol sobered quickly, rushing in first to leave a disgruntled Li blushing on the porch. Only when Eriol returned did he break his cycle of day dreaming. "Well, are you coming to get her, or am I going to be her knight in shining armor."

Syaoran ran past him. "Not a word" he commanded.

************************ Stephanie and Rhyu

"If you'd stop squirming, it would be a lot easier." Rhyu had her hoisted effortlessly on his shoulder.

"For whom?"  Sakura asked.

"Shut up girl, or I will make your death more painful." Stephanie seared, they were out the back and entering the forest. It wouldn't be long now.

"On the contrary, let her go and I will be merciful with you."

Stephanie froze in her tracks. From Rhyu's shoulder, Sakura rose her head. She saw her boyfriend, sword drawn, looking as dangerous as she could remember. Not even when a card had threatened her did he look so protective and possessive. She gulped despite herself when his face found hers. "Sakura are you okay?"

Sakura started to answer but Rhyu turned, disappointing her greatly.

"Let her go Rhyu, and I might let you live." Eriol suddenly appeared at Syaoran's side, staff at the ready.

Stephanie regained her composure. So, they had not made it to the shelter of the dense forest. She would have to make due, or would she? "Thus it begins."

"Bring it" Syaoran shot back, as cool and calculated as a seasoned warrior.

Rhyu dropped Sakura down by a near by tree. The rope around her wrists and ankles was extremely painful, but she had to remove it. Rubbing her arms first against the bark, she went to work.

Stephanie turned and already put distance between her and the cabin. Rhyu took the opposite effect, deciding to charge as he activated his sword.

Syaoran and Eriol wordlessly went into action.  Syaoran stepped forward, ready to block Rhyu. Eriol was instantly on Stephanie's heels.

Sakura clenched her eyes shut, forcing herself to work faster. Metal clashing together with such violent strength was a terrifying sound. Syaoran really could be killed.

Parry, thrust, jab, block. Syaoran could beat Rhyu with one hand behind his back. He was so predictable. Not only that, but Rhyu swung so forcefully it slowed him to a crawl. Syaoran easily blocked all his moves, turning behind him finally to axe kick him in the back. The blow sent Rhyu on his knees, adding insult to injury.

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, finally releasing her hands and working on her ankles. It looked as if this fight would be short lived.

Rhyu had other plans, however. With his free hand, he grabbed at the earth beneath his feet. 

Syaoran had the tip of his sword at the boy's neck.

Sakura read his mind. He wasn't thinking clearly. He must have been truly scared for her. "Syaoran, no!" Running to him, she wanted to stop a mistake in motion. 

Syaoran peered up at her the moment she called his name. This was all the distraction Rhyu needed to swiftly turn and stand, tossing the dirt in Syaoran's face and wrapping an arm around Sakura, holding his sword at her throat.

Syaoran stumbled back, shock evident on his handsome features. Sakura shouted out a warning. "Duck!" as Rhyu swung forth with his right hand, taking a cheap shot at his opponent.

Syaoran listened, ducking in time and getting out of the way. With his vision clearing, he saw Sakura's frightened face, being held captive by Rhyu at sword point. Enough was enough. No body puts his girl in those kinds of situations.

*******************

 "Eriol, I am warning you stay back." Stephanie found a clearing in the woods to turn and shoot energy blasts.

Eriol ducked behind a large oak tree.

"I warned you!" She said, maniacally, burning the tree that stood before him only two seconds earlier.

"Two can play that game Stephanie" Eriol said, firing a warning shot that missed by millimeters.

Stephanie got the clue, turning to run again. Eriol was ahead of her, casting a shield to hold her in.

"I will not be evaded that easily Eriol!"

"Go ahead, shoot me" He chided.

Stephanie took him up on his offer, not bothering to think her actions through.  A large white light radiated quickly toward Eriol, but upon hitting the invisible wall, shot straight back at her. Stephanie squealed in horror barely jumping in time to miss the blast. She didn't have long to rest, however. The ball ricocheted off the next wall, and then the opposite one. Stephanie was busy trying to avoid the energy she had sent towards Eriol.

Eriol chuckled, turning to see how Syoaran did. "I'll be back Stephanie, just bounce around here until I return."

***************************

"Let her go."

"Yeah, okay, are you really that stupid?"

Sakura watched Li closely. He didn't know what to do. She thought she did. Gathering courage, she elbowed him sharply in the ribs, stomping on his foot and quickly dropping to the ground, just then a blinding light appeared and Rhyu, Sakura, and Syaoran had to close there eyes for it was so bright.  Then a voice spoke to them. " You can open you're eyes now."  Said the mysterious voice.  Syaoran was first to speak. "You're the voice that I heard earlier wasn't it when you told me and Eriol to stop arguing." Syaoran said with a hint of blush on his face that wasn't very noticeable.   "The is correct." Said they beautiful woman standing before them.  

 Then she turned to face Sakura.  "Sakura do you remember who I am?"    With Syaoran not paying attention to Rhyu. Rhyu found this a perfect time to try and kill Sakura only he didn't get to far for the mysterious woman shot a powerful blast of energy at him that sent him flying to the ground then he went up in flames and then there was nothing left of Rhyu.    

          "Mother is that you?" Sakura asked with wide eyes as she looked closer at the mysterious person before her.   Syaoran looked shocked this woman is Sakura-chan's mother? Syaoran thought.   "Hai Sakura I am glad that I was given the chance to see you this one last time."   Nadoshika said.   Sakura smiled as tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks.   "It is good to see you mom." Sakura said as she ran up to hug her mother.  The mother embraced her child in a hug and then they broke apart.   "Sakura this young man truly loves you don't let him go." Nadoshika said with a loving smile. "Hai I won't mother." Sakura smiled as well as she looked at Syaoran who blushed.   "Sakura-chan you are growing up nicely don't ever change." Nadoshika said before she vanished into then air.    Then when things got quiet Sakura and Syaoran looked at were Rhyu once was.   "Well you're mother she is powerful." Syaoran told Sakura with pride in his voice which made Sakura smile.  "Hai she is."  

Just then Eriol arrived all out of breath.    "Eriol are you ok!?" Sakura asked as she ran up to him.   Syaoran fallowed suit.   "H-H-ai I am fine Eriol said all out of breath from running.  "Only that witch Stephanie is still out there somewhere." Eriol said.   "DAMN IT!" Syaoran shouted.   "Well just have to get her next time." Sakura said with anger in her voice.   "Hai and we will Sakura we will."  Syaoran said as he wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist and gave her a hug.  "Oh by the way Merry Christmas I have something to give you still." Syaoran said.   Sakura looked on at Syaoran with much love and curiosity in her eyes for him.   She watched him take something out of his pocket and he got on his left knee opened the little box and spoke. 

"Sakura I love you with all my heart and this ring that I am about to give you holds all of our love for each other. Sakura I love you, and this is a symbol of my love that is meant only for you." Syaoran finished by sliding the white gold band that held a pink cherry blossom shaped diamond with little emeralds around it. On Sakura's finger.  Syaoran stood and Sakura jumped into Syaoran's arms and hugged and kissed him on the lips.   "I LOVE YOU SYAORAN!" Sakura said.  "And I love you my cherry blossom. Our love will last a life time Sakura." Syaoran said. 

Eriol looked on the scene that unfolded before him of Syaoran and Sakura.  Eriol smiled and thought. =It's about time Syaoran and Sakura confessed their love for each other.=
