**Disclaimer: I don't own Cardcaptors or Card Captor Sakura. I just like
to pretend I do. I also like to put on black leather with tons of starch
and pretend to be Yami...**
Author's note: This was my first fic that I actually followed through on. I use the English names because I didn't know the Japanese names at the time. So, here's a little conversion chart thing if you don't know the English names:
Sakura Kinomoto: Sakura Avalon
Syaoran Li: Li Showron
Mei-Lin Li: Mei-Lin Ray (or Rei, I'm not sure...)
Tomoyo Daidouji: Madison Taylor
Fujitaka Kinomoto: Aiden Avalon
Toya Kinomoto: Tory Avalon
Yukito "Yuki" Tsukishiro: Julian Star
Wei Li: Wai Showron (that's how I spell it...)
Hopefully, that helped. Please enjoy the fic! *bow*
Wishing Isn't Enough
Chapter 1
Li groped for Sakura's hand in the darkness that enveloped them.
"Sakura!" he cried. "Sakura, use the Light Card! I can't see you!"
There was no response. Li began to panic and flail in the darkness.
'If only I had my sword or lasin board,' he thought bitterly.
A sudden burst of light came from ahead. Li shielded his eyes from the blinding light. Once he could see, he removed his hand from his eyes. He saw Sakura just three feet in front of him. Li's surge of relief was soon replaced by a wave of panic when he saw a pale hand clasped around Sakura's wrist.
Sakura looked nothing less than terrified. She reached out for Li, her green eyes wide with fear.
"Li!" she screamed as she struggled against the thing pulling her away from Li.
"Sakura! Hang on, I'm coming!" shouted Li.
He tried to run to Sakura, but before he'd taken five steps, pale green vines shot up from the ground and ensnared him. Li struggled to free himself, trying to pry the vines from his legs. As he struggled, the thing pulled Sakura further away from him.
Suddenly, a heavy mist rolled over Sakura and concealed her from view. Li struggled harder, his panic and fear mounting.
"Li! Li! Save me, please! I'm scared... It's pulling me away. Help me, Li!" cried Sakura, her voice growing softer as she was pulled further and further from Li.
"Sakura, don't be afraid! I'm coming to save you!" exclaimed Li as he struggled harder than ever against the vines.
Silence flooded the room. Li continued to fight the ever-tightening vines that held him back.
"Darn! Why isn't she answering? Suppose she's too far away from me to help! It's all my fault! I should have been able to save her. If only...if only I still had my sword..." thought Li furiously.
He could feel his eyes begin to water as he stared into the infinite depths of the mist. Li fell to his knees.
"Sakura, I've lost you forever. I should have protected you. It's all my fault. I'm so sorry," whispered Li, placing his head in his hands. "I'm sorry, Sakura! Please come back to me. SAKURA!" He cried miserably as the light began to fade.

Sorry the chapter is so short. It looked a lot longer in my notebook. ^.^;; Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Chapter 2 will hopefully be posted at the same time as Chapter 1, but, then again, this is technology we're talking about, so it might not be just as I envision it. Anyway, please review. Arigato! *bow*
