"Where are Feimei, Fanren, Fuutie and Sheifa?" Xiong asked. Before he knew it, the four came barging in the door with other members of Elders. Behind them were many other men, two of whom were holding an unconscious Xiu. The only other ones who knew of what had happened to Xiong were of course, the Elders. After hearing what Wei had told them, they made sure to capture Xiu. They had to knock him unconscious to stop him from running away.
"WHERE IS HE?" Feimei asked.
"I FELT DADDY'S AURA!!!" Fanren said.
"DADDY!" All four exclaimed and ran to him, all hugging him and crying.
"Can't even give your own father a hug, son?" Xiong said, after hugging all four teary-eyed women. Xiong walked up to Syaoran and gave him a hug, which Syaoran returned immediately.
Sakura stood there looking at the movie-like sad family reunion. "This is just like a sad family reunion, wahhhh!" Sakura cried, tears coming out of hers eyes. "It's even sadder than what a movie would be!"
Xiong looked at her, confusion written in his eyes. Syaoran and all five women sweat-dropped at her.
"Who is she?" Xiong asked. He turned to look at Yelan. "You didn't…remarry, did you?"
Yelan blushed and angrily said, "Of course not! Don't you think that!"
"Dad, this is Sakura Kinomoto. My fiancée aaand the one who found the Ulrich necklace." Syaoran said, blushing slightly.

My Sakura
By DaShyGurl
Chapter Fifteen:
*~*Do Not Underestimate Me*~*
As the Elders, and the Li family (including Sakura, Eriol and Tomoyo and Meilin) and Wen sat around the huge table in the meeting room, Xiong began explaining what had happened for the 15 years he had been gone. Wen had stayed quite the entire time. Eriol and Tomoyo had been on a date during the time Xiong came back and all and were both informed of everything immediately. Meilin was called up and was informed as well.
"Well, for the past 15 years, I've been somewhere else. Since Wang had wished me gone, not dead or be wiped off the face of the earth, but just simply gone, the necklace took me back in time. It fulfilled the wish. I was gone, gone from this century to another."
Everyone gasped at this revelation. Who would have known?
Xiong continued with his story, "I was taken back to 1850. Had miss Sakura not found the necklace and you," he looked at his wife, "not wished me back, I'd still be there. The year being 1865. But as you can see, I still aged, lived. All that happened was that I was taken back in time. I was accepted as a traveler back then and had stayed over two elderly people's home, who might I add were quite generous.
"It was weird though. When I arrived, I had clothes that were the same as theirs. It was as if I lived there all my life and knew they clothes style. But when I was wished back here, I am wearing exactly what I was wearing before I had been wished gone. But, till now, it's a mystery to me as to why the necklace disappeared."
"I see." Said one Elder. "Well, I guess we need to ask Xiu now. We will have to give him the Yebo drink like we gave Wen to see what he knows." When one drinks the Yebo drink, they can do nothing but answer each question truthfully. It's a magical drink that has you say nothing but the truth and obey and do what you are told to do. Wen was given one, which he drank without caring, having nothing to fear knowing that he had known none of this.
There was a knock on the door. "Come in."
In walked a trusted guard. "Mr. Zheng has woken up."
"Ahh," Said another Elder, "Bring Zheng, Xiu here."
"Yes, Elder." A few minutes passed and then the guards walked in holding Xiu. There were two other guards behind the two who were holding Xiu and two more in front. Xiu seemed to be struggling to be free. He glared at all of them when he was forced in a chair. They quickly tied him up with a binding spell and forced the Yebo drink down his throat. Immediately, Xiu started to groan as the cold and disgustingly tasting liquid went down his throat. His eyes closed momentarily and then opened up again. He looked straight forward, as if looking through everything.
To make sure the drink worked properly, they undid the binding spell and told Xiu to stand. Just like that, Xiu stood.
"Stand on one foot and hop around three times." Syaoran said, amused. Xiu obeyed as Wen scowled at him. A few had amused looks on their faces. The four Li sisters giggled.
"He's still my brother and until it's proven he did something he shouldn't have done than I suggest you stop having your fun."
"Fine, fine, fine. Just one last thing. If he does this then I know the drink is working properly." Everyone looked at him, waiting to see what he'll tell Xiu to do. "Do the chicken dance while singing Barney song 'I Love You.'" Everyone gasped. Everyone knew that, for some strange reason, Xiu was afraid of chickens and would get angry when he'd do the chicken dance. Almost all of those present laughed as Xiu did as he was told, even Wen couldn't help it for Xiu looked funny doing it.
"OK, OK! You can stop now!" Syaoran barely got out through laughing.
"Syaoran!" Sakura exclaimed, laughing as well. "That's not very nice. Funny, but not so nice."
"Great job, my cute little descended." Eriol said, which earned him a scowl and a glare from Syaoran. "That was hilarious."
"Yup!" Exclaimed Tomoyo, cracking up. Meilin was on the floor holding her stomach.
"Good one, son. But seriously, let's get down to business." Said Xiong, getting serious again. "Alright Xiu, sit down." Xiu did as he was told.
"Now, Xiu." Syaoran began asking the question everyone was dying to know. "How did you get your hands on the Ulrich necklace and why did you not tell anyone else that you had it?"
"I got the Ulrich necklace with ease. All I had to do was use a simple transporting trick to move it from Wang's hands to mine. No one would have known. After all, the Ulrich necklace can't be traced having no aura or anything to feel for. Hiding my magic and using it at the same time so no one would sense that I took it was hard, but I managed. I did not tell anyone. Why should I when Xiong deserved what he got." Xiong answered. Wen stared at his brother with disbelief. Everyone else in the room was shocked. "Plus, why should Syaoran keep his father when mine was taken away. If I let anyone know of the necklace, then I know that they'll wish Xiong back."
Everyone had a look of anger and fury in their eyes as they listened to Xiu's speech. Syaoran glared at Xiu, hatred in his eyes. So the reason he didn't get anytime with his father was because of Xiu's jealousy.
"May I ask a question, if you don't mind?" Sakura asked. Some of the Elders, including Xiong, Yelan, and Syaoran nodded. "Did you have any plans in making sure that you will be the next leader? If so, what were they?"
Xiu spoke again, in that far away and monotone voice, "I was to kidnap Sakura Kinomoto at night and use her as bait to get Syaoran to come to me alone with no one else or I'd threaten to harm her. Once we are alone, I'd kill him and then Sakura, throwing the blame on my brother. I only needed time to figure out how to throw the blame on Wen. After that, I know I would have had no competition for the leadership."
Gasps and murmurs spread amongst them. Wen looked at his brother, then turned his head and looked down. Fuutie looked at him with sad eyes, taking his hands in hers and squeezing it gently as if to comfort him. He smiled slightly at her.
"And what would have you done once you would have become leader?" Yelan asked.
In a tedious voice, Xiu answered "I would make a plan to disgrace the entire Li family and have them kicked out. I'd make myself a hero by pretending to catch them myself. I was thinking of having them killed too and blaming it on Wen, but I knew it would raise some suspicions of having one person kill 7 people at once. But it made perfect sense to have Syaoran killed as if protecting Sakura, who would be thought of as being kidnapped by Wen."
After several more questionings and receiving their answers, they were done. The Yebo drink was beginning to fade and as it finally faded, Xiu's closed momentarily and then opened again. He looked around, his thoughts somewhat hazy. They cleared up as he remembered everything. He felt fear for the first time in a long time. He knew what had happened. The Yebo drink might make you obey every command and answer each question truthfully, but you are certainly aware of what was being asked and what you had answered. He had no control over what he said, spilling out the truth of everything and now he knew he was in some serious trouble. He has tied to the chair again with a binding spell to make sure he would not escape.
"You….you bitch! You ruined everything! They told me it was you who let them know where the necklace was!" Xiu screamed at Sakura. Sakura just glared back at him, having mastered the glare pretty well from Syaoran.
"Don't raise your voice at her! I'm pretty sure you know the consequences of what you have done." Syaoran spat. Xiu glared back.
"Wen, you're not going to let them do this to your own brother are you? They're the reason father is dead!"
Wen glared at his brother, having courage to finally stand up to him. "Oh gee, brother. Sorry. I'll try to convince them to let you go so you can make another plan and thrown the blame on me. And don't use father as an excuse. What happened to him was entirely his fault. He brought it onto himself."
An Elder got up and said, "Alright, that's enough! Xiu, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."
"You're not doing anything to me." Said Xiu in a soft and calming voice that got everyone's heads turned to him. A glint shone in his eyes as he smiled.
"Oh? And what are you going to do about it?" Another Elder asked.
"This!" Xiu said as he suddenly disappeared.
"WHAT?!" An enraged elder screamed, as everyone stood up. Sakura went closer to Syaoran, taking a hold of his hand, fear in her eyes. Syaoran lightly squeezed her hands in his, looking at her with determination in his eyes.
"You see," Xiu's voice was heard, but from where no one knew, "I've been practicing how to use magic without my aura being sensed. I think I'm doing a good job of it? Don't you think? You think a stupid binding spell can keep me still? Haha! Guess again. I'll get my revenge for my father….and for me! I should have been the next leader! And I'll start my revenge with each person, one by one, starting with the Cherry Blossom."
Syaoran's eyes widened, and before anyone could do anything, Sakura disappeared with Syaoran.
"WHAT?!" Xiong roared. "Where the hell did they go? XIU ANSWER ME!"
"Where are they?" Tomoyo asked in a small voice. "What happened?"
"Aunty? Where did they go?" Meilin asked, worried and scared for her cousin and one of her dearest, closest and best friend.
Yelan spoke up, "Don't worry, we've taught Syaoran well. I don't know how Xiu did this, but I'm confident enough to know Syaoran and Sakura will be okay. But now, Fuutie, go and tell Wei to send our private jet to get Sakura's father and brother here. Feimei and Fanren, I want you to go with Wei so you can explain to them what has happened and why they are here. You too Tomoyo, Eriol and Meilin. You know them well and I think they'll need familiar faces when they hear this. Sheifa, go call them and tell them to pack and that they are being brought here and that everything will be explained to them when the jet arrives. Be sure to tell them where the jet will be staying." All four sisters, Eriol, and Tomoyo hurried up and left, all worried.
Wu, Kuan (remember him? From the 11th chapter. He was the nice elder who wasn't power hungry and the one Syaoran trusted and like the most) called in a guard and spoke up. "I want some of our men to go in his room and check if there are any hints or clues of where he might be. Anything found that might be of use is to be brought to the library where we all will be and be sure report everything to us there. Got it?" When the guard nodded, Kuan told him to get going and the guard hastily left.
"Now," another Elder spoke up, "let's all head to the library and see what could be of use in the damn books we have."
*.::.* Sakura and Syaoran *.::.*
Sakura and Syaoran fell to the floor. They both looked up.
"Are you okay?" Syaoran asked. Sakura nodded
"Where are we?" Sakura asked, looking at her surroundings. It was dark, but not too dark. They can see each other pretty well, yet there was no moon. There was grass and many vast trees with countless leaves on them.
"I'm not exactly sure, but I think we are in a place he created magically."
"What? I thought I brought her only." Sakura and Syaoran both turned to see him standing behind them. Syaoran got in front of Sakura, as if protecting her. "Don't tell me you were holding her in anyway? Damn it, I can never bring someone here without the other person their touching. No matter, I'll master that after a while." Came Xiu's voice. "Anyway, good job on guessing the place. You were always the smart one, weren't you?"
"What the hell is your problem? Have you gone mad?" Syaoran yelled. He shot daggers at Xiu glared. Sakura scowled at Xiu.
"This isn't right, Xiu. Why are you doing this? Why did you bring us here?" Sakura asked.
"Are you dense child? HE STOLE MY PLACE IN THE CLAN AND HIS FATHER IS THE REASON FOR MY FATHER'S DEATH!"
Syaoran stared fiercely at Xiu. "Well then, lets settle this."
"Oh we'll settle it alright. But first, I have to admit. That's a great body she's got. I wouldn't mind getting some, would you?" Xiu smirked. Syaoran's eyes widened, then got a look of anger in them.
"You wish."
"And my wish is coming true." With that said, Syaoran fell to his knees, unmoving.
"WHAT?" Sakura bent down to Syaoran's level, waving her hands in front of his eyes. But he never even blinked. "What did you do?" she screamed.
"Oh please. It's only temporary. Just a little trance to keep him away." Xiu walked him to Sakura. She stood, courageousness shinning in her eyes.
"Bring him back."
"Not until I have my fun with you."
"And what makes you think you'll be able to do anything to me? Don't underestimate me."
"Oh please! You little weakling? I'm much stronger than you!" Xiu smiled with a zealous look in his eyes. He quickly advanced on her, pinning her to the ground in front of Syaoran. "You see Syaoran there? He can't move, being in a trance, but he can see and hear everything. How about we put a show on for him? Hmmm?" Xiu brought his head down, his lips coming to hers. Before his lips reached hers, she kicked him where the sun doesn't shine (a/n: I think you guys know where…you know….where every guy *doesn't* want to be hit…down 'there.'). He quickly got off with excruciating pain, holding his….crotch area with pain visible in his eyes.
"You'll pay for that bitch."
"I told you once and I'll tell you again, don't underestimate me or my powers. Windy! Bind him!" Sakura said. The card revealed itself between her fingers, glowed a light pink color and then activated. Windy rushed to Xiu quickly but before she can bind him, Xiu put up his own shield. (a/n: Umm Sakura mastered using the cards without having to transfer her key into a staff and the hit the staff on the card).
Xiu took out what looked like a black ring and transformed it into his staff. "Transport," he said, the staff glowing a dark black color as the circle spun around, "transport me behind her" he whispered so Sakura couldn't hear where he wanted to be transported. He vanished into thin air, and once behind her, he kicked her and she plummeted to the floor. He used a binding spell on her. Once he saw that she couldn't move, he turned her on her back and lay on top of her.
Sakura struggled, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of what card could help her out of this. She couldn't even move and fear suddenly dawned on her. She tried to squirm and struggle for minutes, but he nothing worked.
"That's right, just give up Cherry Blossom." Tears came out as she started to scream to Syaoran for help telepathically, hoping he'd hear her that way since screaming out loud did nothing. She tried screaming out loud of her again, but Xiu brought his lips to hers to shut her up.
Unexpectedly, Xiu was thrown off of her and hit a tree. He fell to the ground with a loud thud, temporarily unconscious.
Being thrown unconscious took the binding spell off of Sakura immediately. Instantly, she got up and ran into Syaoran's arms, tears cascading down her face.
"Shh, don't cry. His stupid trance spell wasn't all too powerful to last long. I was able to fight it off. Don't worry, baby, we'll get out of here in no time. Okay?" Syaoran gently wiped the tears from her beautiful face with his thumb, as he planted a soft kiss on her lips. He hugged for a few minutes, and then kissed the top of her head. After a few more minutes, he looked at Xiu, who had begun to regain consciousness. Syaoran took out his sword and got into a fighting stance. "I want this to be quick and done with so we can be back home."
"So do I, so don't argue because I'm helping you fight him." Sakura said. He looked at her, ready to say no, but the look on her face shut him up. "Please, Syaoran. Let me help. I want to fight with you, like old times. Like our card capturing days. And don't you dare try to say no again."
Syaoran hesitated for a bit, but then agreed. He smiled at her. "Why not? After all, you are the card mistress. Stronger than anyone, right?" Sakura smiled back, getting into a stance next to him. "Plus, I taught you enough fighting skills."
"You'll pay for that." Xiu's voice was heard, as he got up fully, one hand on his head and the other on his aching back. He looked at Syaoran, seeing him in a fighting stance. "A fight? No problem." Xiu took up the challenge, getting into a fight stance himself. He lunged at Syaoran, throwing the first punch. Syaoran quickly blocked and threw a front kick. Sakura swiftly went behind Xiu, going unnoticed.
"You know that I always won when we were sparring, right?" Syaoran smirked.
"Not this time." Xiu got up and threw a powerful punch on Syaoran's jaw. Sakura threw a turning kick at Xiu.
"That's for punching my man." Sakura smiled innocently at him.
"What? Afraid you'll loose against me that you have a girl do your fights?" Said Xiu.
"No, she just wants to kick your ass as much as I do and we both want this to be quicker. That's all." Said Syaoran.
Xiu looked at the two, turning his head from one to the other, not knowing which side to go to and fight.
"Feel like monkey in the middle?" Syaoran ridiculed. At this, Xiu made up his mind and launched at Syaoran. Syaoran quickly blocked against all kicks and punches thrown at him. The two fought for a while, Syaoran having the upper hand.
(A/N: READ ME! Okay, I'm sure I told you before that I suck at describing fighting scenes, so…let me tell you again. I suck at fighting scenes. So if this doesn't satisfy you, then sorry.)
Sakura went after him and kicked him in the knees from behind, causing him to fall. He got up and tried to hit her, but she threw a combination of kicks and punches at him, learning them from Syaoran.
"Good job, Sakura. You're doing great, like I taught you." Syaoran said, as if they were back in the gym and he was teaching her how to fight again. Xiu was getting more furious with each passing second, feeling like a dummy back used for one who is practicing punches (a/n: you know those bags that people punch with punching gloves? Well it's just a big, hard, black bag that you use to practice your punches on. That's all). She fought him for over a half hour and started sweating a bit from all the fighting, all the while Syaoran was encouraging and telling her how good of a job she was doing, telling her she had improved a lot more and was doing a great job.
Another 15 minutes passed.
When Xiu grew even more infuriated, he threw a magic attack. But Sakura was smarter than that and had put up her shield, sensing what he was about to do. Xiu stopped fighting her for a second, staring in amazement then anger. "How did you know what I was about to do?"
"Didn't she tell you already?" Syaoran said in a malevolently. "You shouldn't underestimate her or her powers. Now, it's my turn to have my fun with you." Said Syaoran.
*.::.* Back in Hong Kong *.::.*
A guard came in the library, somewhat anxious.
"Anything?" An Elder asked.
"Sorry, but no…"
"Damn it!" Another elder said. "Keep looking through those books."
"It's been over two hours already! Who knows what must have happened now!" Yelan said.
"Don't be so pessimistic, dear. I'm sure everything is just fine." Yet Xiong himself sounded unsure.
"Umm, sir." The guard continued. "Miss Kinomoto's family should arrive soon. Possibly another 10 minutes."
(a/n: The pilot they had was a trusted one with magic so they used magic to make the private jet get there much, **MUCH** faster and get back here. They had the jet specially built through magic to fly really quickly. So, in short, they can get to Japan with the magic airplane in an hour and nearly 10 minutes. When they got there of course, I mean Wei-san and Syaoran's sister, they got in the jet and now they are flying back here. So it'll take another hour and nearly 10 minutes.)
"Good. Be sure to bring them straight here when they arrive." Xiong said.
*.::.* Touya and Fujitaka and the rest *.::.*
Everyone in the jet was silent. Touya and Fujitaka sat on the airplane. Fujitaka had a look of distress and trepidation in his eyes. He was worried sick for his only daughter, and throughout the entire time, he hoped that she would be alright.
Touya sat on the seat full of anger of not being there for her and at the stupid brat who said he'd keep her protected and then end up having her in more danger than he thought. At the same time, he felt apprehension and distraught. He was scared, petrified for his only sister that he had vowed to protect, promised his mother to look after her. Throughout the ride, he was tense and somewhat jumpy.
Grief shone in both men's eyes. Touya looked at Syaoran's sister, who had explained everything on them.
"Exactly how did you say we will get there early?" He asked again.
"It's somewhat difficult to explain. It's really some complicated magic work that has this jet of ours, built magically of course, to fly really fast. It's how we got to Japan in in an hour and about ten minutes. If we brought you through a regular airplane, it would take 4 and a half hours to come to Japan and another 4 and a half to get back, so as you can see, that's too long. We use this jet in case of an emergency, and in this case, it's a major emergency. So, we should arrive in Hong Kong in another ohhhh I'd say 8 minutes."
Touya nodded and Fujitaka, who had listened, turned to look outside the window. Meilin, who was currently sitting next to Touya, took his hands in hers and whispered, "I know you're mad at Syaoran. But remember, Xiu planned to take Sakura alone and at least now that Syaoran is with her, he can protect her. Knowing my cousin, I know he'd do anything for her."
"If you are done defending your stupid cousin then please…" Touya was saying but was cut by Meilin.
"I'm not trying to defend my cousin. I'm just making sure you don't blame the entire thing on him and kill him as soon as he gets back." Meilin said softly. Touya snorted and looked away. "I'm really sorry that you're going through this. I know how you feel." Touya was about to make a retort but ended up slightly nodding after seeing the solemn look in her eyes. He sighed and looked down at his hands and realized she was still holding them. He blushed slightly but shook of the weird feeling as he took his hands out of hers.
*.::.* Syaoran and Sakura *.::.*
Sakura backed off to the side, but watching intently incase she was needed. Xiu and Syaoran fought each other, throwing different combinations of punches and kicks and using their magic every now and then. After what seemed like forever, their clothes were somewhat ripped, bruises appearing in some places. Xiu looked real bad though, with blood dripping from his lips and having more cuts and bruises. Both fought each other, Syaoran blocking and the other fighting, then switching places with Xiu blocking and Syaoran fighting. Sakura watched intently, making sure she goes and helps Syaoran if he needs it. Nevertheless, he seemed to be doing pretty well, and he only just started sweating. He had already been fighting for at least an hour, that she knew. After another ten minutes, with a final sidekick from Syaoran, Xiu fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
"Are you ready to take us back home now?" Syaoran said icily, breathing heavily after the long fight as well. Sakura was at his side, concern in her eyes.
Xiu just laughed. "Over my dead body."
"Then I guess I'll just have to kill you. Knowing this is a place you created, then with you dead, it will disappear and we would be back home with this place being once again nonexistent. I know this will happen. We learned it already." (a/n: You know, school…well tutoring anyway. They learned what you learn at a regular school AND magical related stuff, okay? Good.)
Sakura's eyes widened. She knew that what Xiu had done was unjust and that he shouldn't be punished, but killing someone is just as unjust. "Syaoran, no! You know how I feel about that. You can't kill someone for doing the wrong thing. They should be punished for it. Isn't there another way?" Sakura asked, with hope in her voice.
Syaoran shook his head. "Sakura he isn't giving us another choice." He looked at Xiu and glared at him, who was still on the ground, too exhausted to get up. Xiu tried to get up, despite how tired he was. But Sakura used windy to bind him in place. "Let me take care of him. You just close your eyes and"
Sakura cut him off, "But there has to be another way."
"Yes and that other way is to convince him to bring us back which you know will never happen…" Syaoran looked at Sakura in the eye and sighed. "Sakura please, try to understand…"
Sakura nodded, lowering her head. Syaoran put two fingers on her chin and lifted them up. He gave her a quick soft kiss.
"Isn't that just a touching moment?" Xiu said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, still struggling to get out of Windy's grip.
Syaoran looked at Xiu, then back at Sakura, who quickly turned around, her back facing Xiu.
"You can't be serious. You can't just kill me!"
"Then take us back home." Syaoran replied.
"Fine, I will." Xiu answered back. Sakura turned around falteringly.
"How do we know you're not lying; not tricking us into letting you go so you can try something." Sakura said.
"Damn it let me go!" Xiu yelled, struggling even more, fear finally seeping into his mind. "Please, just let me go…" he begged.
Sakura looked at Syaoran. "He can't be trusted, Sakura. You know he can't."
"Please," Xiu begged again.
"Hold on, just let me think for a second." Sakura said. "How long have we been here?" She asked, out of curiosity.
Syaoran looked at his wristwatch, "Over two hours I'd say." Sakura looked at Xiu.
"Sleep, put Xiu to sleep." The card appeared between her index and middle finger on her right hand, glowed a light pink and activated.
"What?! Why would you put me to sle…" Xiu's word left hanging as he was put to sleep. Sakura called back Windy, knowing he'll be of no trouble.
"Syaoran, how about we trick him into taking us back?" Sakura asked. When Syaoran asked her how, she proceeded in saying, "Well, I can use illusion. I can ask illusion to trick him into forgetting his memory for a while and thinking he took us here to show us this place he created. Then we'll tell him we want to go back and he'll take us back home. The create card can help illusion. Create will create us a fake history of his past life and illusion will put it in his mind. Once there, we can take it off."
"I didn't know the Illusion Card could do that…" Syaoran trailed off.
"Well, it didn't at first. It was simple illusions. But over the years, I've been practicing my magic of course and making it stronger. And after every now and then, the cards get stronger as well and they get to go to the next step, getting the ability to do something more. I've gotten the Illusion card to be able to trick someone with their minds, not just surroundings now."
"Then that's perfect. We'll do exactly what you just said. Go ahead." Syaoran said. "If you're tired, then tell me please. I know you've become much stronger over the years…"
"Yes, Syaoran. I can use up to 15 cards before I start to tire out now."
"But still, tell me if you need me to help you. You know I can use the cards too, and I won't mind using one if you're too tired." Syaoran said, concern in his voice. Sakura looked at him and told him that she was fine. She looked at Xiu and took the Sleep out of him. Immediately, before he could register in that he has woken up again, she used the Create and the Illusion.
*.::.* Hong Kong *.::.*
"I'm going to kill that stupid brat when he gets here. He promised he'd have her safe. That LAIR!" Touya paced around, furious. Yelan looked at Fujitaka apologetically. Fujitaka smiled sadly at her. He walked up to his son and put a hand on his shoulder. Touya looked at his dad and sighed. He put his hands on his face and ran his fingers through his hair, frustrated.
Xiong looked up when he felt something. Almost immediately, all those who had magic in the room looked at a corner of the library. Just then, Sakura, Syaoran and Xiu appeared. Xiu was smiling.
"Well hello there Aunty Yelan. I hope we weren't gone long." Everyone stood up and guards came in running.
"NO STOP!" Sakura and Syaoran yelled at once and everyone halted.
Xiu's smile confused everyone. Sakura used the sleep and he fell asleep again. She returned Illusion and Create back. Before she knew it, her brother and father enveloped her in a tight hug.
"Oh Sakura thank god you're okay. I was so worried."
"Don't ever get us this worried again, monster!" Said Touya, his voice almost cracking. He never really showed his emotion openly, and not in front of his sister, but this time he just couldn't help it.
Sakura giggled. "I'm sorry, but I missed you so much! I'm so glad you're here!" In the meantime, Syaoran was being hugged and kissed by his four sisters. His mother and father all hugged him as well, expressing their emotions.
"When I came back," Xiong said, "I imagined we'd spend time together, not have you disappear and get us all so worried so soon. Thank god you're okay." Syaoran smiled and hugged his father back. The Elders, including Wen, Meilin, Eriol, Tomoyo and all who were waiting in the room anxiously greeted the two, hugging them and expressing how they felt. Some were on the verge of crying, others had tears coming down already. They all demanded to know what happened after the little sad reunion. Sakura and Syaoran proceeded in telling them of the entire events, while Xiu was put in a magical cell the prevented anyone from using magic. In short, if you tried to use your magic, it won't work.
To Be Continued…
Well, that's it folks. The next chapter is going to be the last chapter! I'd like to thank all those who reviewed my last chapter now (and I hope you enjoyed this one.) If I didn't get your name, then I'm so sorry. FFN is being so gay and what it's doing is deleting names of those who reviewed sometimes. I get alerts that you reviewed, but when I check on FFN, it doesn't show it. Or I'd get your name on FFN that you reviewed my last chapter but I don't get an e-mail to alert me. So as you can see, FFN is being stupid right now. Please e-mail and tell me if you weren't put here. I'd be glad to mention you in the next chapter that your name wasn't put here.
So, here is my THANKS to those people. If you're name isn't put in and you are wondering why, then read the above paragraph, cause you obviously skipped it hen.

Thank you all SO MUCH! I loved all your reviews and I'll be looking forward to reading more on this chapter. Sorry if I took so long to update this fic again. I was a little busy at first then just plain lazy. Hehe, sorry again!
Now, WORD COUNT! This chapter, not including the preview of last chapter or the names of those I thank or ANYTHING but the story itself (not even the title) JUST THE STORY, there are a total of 5,483 words. The most words I've had for this story 6,031 words and that was in chapter 11.
Until next time,
DaShyGurl
P.S Don't forget to READ AND REVIEW!
