Konnichiwa. I'm back from my vacation. I felt bad about not being able to
update for so long, that as I was writing, I decided to cut this chapter in
half just to give you all something to tide you over until I can do a huge
chapter again. That's why this update is so short. But fret not. I'm still
working, and there seems to be no more vacations heading my way. But until
then, here are a couple of pages of the next chapter.
Notice: I own a computer. I own video games. But I don't own CCS. It belongs to the geniuses of CLAMP.
Chapter 14- Syaoran Falls
Tomoyo scampered back to the woods where Syaoran was. "I'm back! Thank you so much, Syaoran! I was so happy to see Sakura. She also agrees. This plan may work. We can meet back here everyday." Syaoran smiled. "That's good. But. I never asked. How exactly did you get here?" "Oh, my mother is here. She's on the other side of the park. She isn't near here, so she won't see Mr. Kinomoto. If you remember, Mr. Kinomoto didn't even know my mother's last name was now Daidouji when they met. or in this case, are going to meet at the school field day. That means they won't meet at all. That also means since we both come here, this is the only time we can all talk, you, Sakura, and I." Syaoran nodded along with what she said. "Okay, this will work perfectly. But remember, we don't know where Koji is, or who he may be after this time. Just be on your guard and I'll see you later."
"Tomoyo, honey, where did you go?" Sonomi called out to her from a distance. "Uh-oh. That's my mom. I better go. See you later, Syaoran! Bye, bye!" Tomoyo ran off out of the woods as fast as her little 3 year old legs could carry her.
An evil presence filled the air. "Koji? Is he here? Already?" Sweat began to pour down Syaoran's face. "I better get out of these woods, or I'll be a sitting duck."
He ran through the woods as fast as he could. The sound of twigs, leaves, and grass crackled beneath him. He had no idea where he was going. However, Koji's presence grew nearer. Suddenly, the ground began to rumble. A loud crashing sound came before Syaoran. He didn't know what to think, so the boy grabbed a charm from his pocket. "WIND!"
The boy was lifted by a gust of wind high into the air. He saw he was in the center of the woods. But below him, a stack of trees, all in a straight line, were blown away and cut down. "What could have done that?" Syaoran wondered.
When the spell ended, he found himself on the ground with an arm squeezing him and a sword at his throat. "Hello, Syaoran, remember me? I have a few questions for you." It was Koji.
"Heh. I knew it was you. Only an idiot like you would attack in broad daylight." Koji smiled. "Who's the bigger idiot? The man who attacks in the day, or the fool caught by that attacker? Now, just shut up and answer a few questions for me." Syaoran laughed. "Well, which is it? Do you want me to shut up or answer your questions?" A vein popped on Koji's face. "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT! Now, how did you get here? You have no Cards and Sakura was here, not in your time."
"A friend gave me a ride." Koji drew his sword closer to Syaoran's unguarded throat. "WHO? A name! That person is going to have to answer to me. You've interfered with my plans for the last time. but for anyone to send you into the past, they must have a great deal of magic. And that could be a problem for me." Syaoran growled. "Well, I don't know the name of the guy who sent me back. He kept himself anonymous." Koji laughed. "Really? That's too bad. I really wanted to meet him. Oh well. but if you can't answer that, then I have only one last thing I can use you for." Syaoran didn't like the sound of that.
"What else do you want?" The evil demon pushed the sword he held away from Syaoran's throat, but he still stronger than the boy and was able to hold him in place with one arm. "This, my little friend, is the 'Sword of Anguish.'" Syaoran still struggled to get free, but to no avail. "Why am I somehow not comforted by the sword's name?" He stated sarcastically. "Quiet. This blade glows with the pure energy of evil. Within it lies the pure essence of what makes darkness dark. In a sense, it is ultimate in its power. It can cut just about anything. Legends speak of black knights in the Middle Ages wielding this unholy blade into battles where they were outnumbered 100-to-1. None of their opponents ever survived."
Syaoran REALLY didn't like where this was going. "That's great, but what does this have to do with me?" Koji placed the sharp side of the sword at Syaoran's throat. "Oh, I've just been curious."
Koji slid the Demonic Sword across the front of the poor boy's neck in the blink of an eye. "I've wanted to experience how well it worked on humans."
Syaoran fell to the ground. He could feel a small trickle of blood rolling down his neck. It wasn't fatal, as far as he could tell at that moment, but it hurt. Badly.
The sadistic follower of Sadin laughed. "I'm impressed! I barely even touched you, but I cut your throat a little. Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you. right away. I think I'll just test this out a little while longer. Just let you slowly bleed to death."
Syaoran covered his neck with his hands. He thought to himself, "Dammit. I'm dead. My throat. It feels like it's on fire. Wait a second, fire! I have to wait for an opening."
Koji began to raise the Sword of Anguish in the air. "I wonder what limb I should hit first."
Syaoran reached into his pocket and threw a charm directly into Koji's face. It ignited on contact. The flaming demon screamed and jumped back. He dropped onto the ground began to roll around, in order to extinguish the flames that were starting to spread. In the process, he dropped his sword.
Syaoran staggered to his feet. As soon as he did, Koji finished dealing with the flames. He started to get up as Syaoran charged and kicked him straight in the face. Koji fell backwards to the ground. Then, the freed boy made a mad dash through the woods before Koji could recover. Blood from the cut slowed him down, however. He felt fatigued.
"DAMMIT," Koji screamed. He got onto his feet, wiped the blood from his nose and lip, and retrieved his sword. "I can't see him. but. I know which direction he ran. Heh. Let's see him survive this!" Koji pulled his sword straight back and it began to become even darker. "Grrrrr. SHOCKWAVE!"
A thin black line of energy formed a semi circle in front of the evil one as he slashed. It charged forward, knocking everything down in its path. It slammed trees, poles, trail markers, everything to the ground.
Syaoran reached the edge of the woods. As relieved as he was to see an open area, he realized he had made a slight miscalculation. He found himself out of the woods, but the only route away was a 10-meter drop to the ground.
He reached into his pocket to grab a wind charm. He didn't want to risk jumping in his condition from such a height onto a road. But an all of too familiar rumbling sound came from behind him. The boy turned to see just a streak of darkness until.
CRASH!
Syaoran could see nothing as he was hurled through the air. He could do nothing. just fall. fall. fall.
To be continued.
