For a moment all the memories in her head grew blank just white pure white. Then felt

herself being pulled back into reality. She couldn't feel the warmth of Yugi's hands

anymore.

"Yugi!" she sat up quickly. She heard the whistling of birds outside. She blinked a couple

of time so the fuzzy images would clear up.

"Did.. Did we make it?? What happened?" Sakura sat up whilst putting her hand to her

head. Aching pounding pain chiseling at her brain.

"Sakura" she spun around quickly. Yugi stood in the doorway smiling faintly.

"Yugi! Yugi you're here!" she ran towards him but she passed right through him and

collapsed to the floor.

'No what's happening!' she thought as she was surrounded by a dark thick fog.

"Sakura Sakura!' she heard Yugi saying. She opened her eyes she was sitting in a

sandbox in a park. The sun was drowning into the horizon turning the sky a blistering red

orange color.

'What's happening' she thought as she looked down at her tiny hands. She was kid again,

probably about 4 or 5.

"Sakura help us build a sand castle" Yugi called again. He was too a tiny kid just like her.

Tomoyo was there also.

"yea Sakura," she said in a cute voice.

She began to slowly crawl over when she stood up and glanced at Li watching her from

the swing. He was 10 years old. He eyed her in envy and jealously. Just staring at her

unmoving.

"Li?" Sakura spoke softly.

He got up form the swing. He ran over to where they were playing and he pushed

Tomoyo aside roughly against the sand.

'Li Li!! Stop!' Sakura cried but she couldn't speak. She couldn't make a sound. She

couldn't hardly breathed as she struggled to choke out the words. 'Stop Stop'

Li continuously punched little Yugi in face. The horrible punching sounds only entered

Sakura's ears. Tomoyo was crying on the ground but she couldn't hear her just the

BAMBAM* as Li beat Yugi.

"STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she managed to scream with all of her might.

The imaged faded away and the sight of the present Yugi appeared before her.

"Sakura you okay?"

She sat up quickly panting hard. Her stomached churned at the horrible image she saw.

"Is this a dream?" she asked turning towards Yugi.

"no Sakura we made it we made it through the gate!" Yugi said hugging her.

Sakura looked over at the two Sailor Scouts.

"You see Hotaru love is true, they made it through" Serena said smiling.

"but how come we didn't pass. HOW COME! And you have the biggest heart of them

all!" Hotaru screamed.

"You see it wasn't that I didn't love him it was just.. I didn't have enough faith in myself

that's why I couldn't pass."

Hotaru's angry frustrated expression dropped into a calm and forgiving look.

"I see maybe that's why." Hotaru fell again onto the rocky floor.

"I never had 'nough faith in myself" Hotaru pounded the ground. Blood trickled down

her hand.

"Now you know" Serena embraced Hotaru.

Everyone and everything just disappeared suddenly as if it were all a dream.

Sakura came back to her home. She saw the knife on the floor where she had dropped it.

She carefully took it and placed it back into the draw.

Li was gone for the couple of months. Sakura contacted him often but she never dare

mention the child she had given birth to. Only Tomoyo knew. She hadn't heard from

Yugi yet but she knew he was going to return

"Oh be quiet lil Nady" Sakura rocked the fragile thing in her arms.

'this is strange how come in my vision the baby was a boy but it turned out to be a girl'

Sakura pondered. She wanted to name the girl Nadeshiko after her mother but she felt

awkward doing so she called the child Nady.

Sakura let out a sigh. 'How can Yugi and I ever pass the gates if we were already in love

with someone else. It doesn't make sense.' She though resting the child in the cradle. She

could have just easily gotten rid of the child but she couldn't. The child had to stay.

The phone rang throughout the hallway.

"Damn now? I wonder who that could be" Sakura took the phone.

"hello"

"Hello is this Sakura Avilon?" a person she couldn't recognize said.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Avilon but Li has gotten into a terrible accident"

Sakura squeezed the receiver tightly in grasp. Biting her lower lip she said.

"IS he okay."

"He is barely alive Mrs. He has sever brain damage and is in critical condition. There is a

below 50 % chance he's going to make it."

"."

"hello"

".."

"Hello?" the voice called.

"." Sakura lightly dropped the receiver on the hook.

"No no Li" she placed her face in her hands.

"Damnit.. Damnit was this the destiny for me" Sakura said. No tears fell from her eyes.

"I deserve this Li.. Li doesn't deserve the pain. I don't deserve Li anyways" She said

softly. She walked over wearily to the crib where the baby slept soundlessly.

"Why is all this happening.?"

Sakura looked up into space.

"Serena I thought you said you'll watch over me!" Sakura choked softly trying not to

wake the baby.

"oh Li please live" she knelt on her knees praying.

"Oh Please God don't let Li die" she whispered softly. .
