Author's note: Hey I'm glad that my explanations helped in some ways. I probably shouldn't have given so much away but I didn't want to have ya'll in the dark. This is a quick update but I thought it was necessary. I really don't have much to say except the regular thank you!
Shinigami Clara: unfortunately I've already started to read the story you suggested. I'm still looking though; I really appreciate a great story.

"Oh!" Mei Lin screamed embedding her sword in a demon when he went to bite her. Kicking him off her sword she moved her horse in a circle. "Calm boy" she soothed hoping he wouldn't kick her off. This was turning into a fine day sure the sky remained cloudless.
"We can't hold them off forever" Sakura said trying to think of what they were going to do. They were shocked when arrows appeared out of nowhere hitting the demons behind them. In large numbers they fell to the ground only to be trampled by those behind them.
"Lirin!" Sakura shouted pulling out aurora so they wouldn't be hit. She had to squint her eyes to see them because they were so well camouflaged in the forest. "This way" she yells turning off the road. Mei Lin and Syaoran followed her into the words when more arrows went flying over their heads. It was a blessing the Lirin had shown up to aid them.
*
*
When they made it into the forest, Sakura jumped off her horse and climbed unto the nearest tree. Syaoran and Mei Lin followed behind, jumping from one to another trying to keep up. Mei Lin was having a little bit of trouble keeping up with them but she didn't fall too far behind. She dared not look down in fear that she might see how very high up they were. She near yelped when her boot almost lost it's footing on the slippery limb.
Sakura slowed landing swiftly on a branch. She looked at the road to see the last of the possessed men fall to the ground. She knew though that not all of them were dead, some had made it out. "Thank you for the help" she said speaking to what seemed like a branch. The figure moved showing a face.
"It was the least we could do for the woman representing us," it answered when a man's face appeared with a grin. Syaoran saw the way in which he looked Sakura over slowly, and had to suppress the urge to snap at him.
"Thank you again nonetheless" Sakura replied softly putting her sword away. "Has this sort of thing been happening a lot around here lately?" she inquired meaning the men lying dead on the ground. She was very sorry for them for they knew not what they were doing.
"I'm afraid it has. My name is Erik" he held out his hand to Syaoran who refused to shake it. Sakura shot him a look before shaking the man's hand along with Mei Lin.
"I'm Sakura and this is Mei Lin and Syaoran" she introduced. Mei Lin knew that Syaoran was jealous. She thought it amusing as she leaned against a branch to catch her breath. Glancing Sakura's direction, she wondered if she had a clue. Sighing in content when a gentle breeze brushed against her flushed skin, she knew that Sakura was oblivious.
"Right. We were passing by and stopped to give you aid. We're on our way to Galatia, a town not fair north of here," Erick said in a gentle tone. He was good looking man, with black hair and cool green eyes.
"We're heading in the same direction" Sakura burst before Syaoran could say otherwise.
"Well why don't we travel together?" Erik offered making Syaoran's jaw tighten. He wasn't one to get jealous but he didn't like the way this man was looking at Sakura. He looked at the two of them before walking passed them. He could sense that Eriol and the others were close by; he wanted to get away from where they were fast.
"Syaoran what do you think?" Sakura called not liking how strange he was acting. They looked at him waiting for an answer. The dragon in Syaoran wanted to bit the guy's head off but he knew better than to let him have control.
"I don't care," he snapped coldly. Sakura winced inwardly at the tone he used, turning he saw the hurt in her eyes before she smiled turning back to Erik. Syaoran held his head as his inner self seemed to be in turmoil. His dragon sense knew what it wanted but he couldn't allow that. "No" he whispered under his breath, "LET ME OUT" the dragon screamed into his mind. If he were weak, he would have cried out from the gruesome pain. He turned slightly to look at Erik who smiled at Sakura and felt his blood boil. "LET ME KILL HIM, SHE'S MINE" the dragon roared, he felt light headed. He was slowly loosing the battle; if he didn't get away he was going to kill every single one of them.
*

"It would be a pleasure." Sakura told him with a smile oblivious to the pain Syaoran was going through. Everyday it seemed to be getting easier to accept men; it was all due to Syaoran. Feeling a gust of wind surround them and hearing Syaoran cry out, they spun around only to find that he was nowhere to be seen. "Where'd he go?" she gasped in shock. Mei Lin couldn't believe what she had just witnessed and gaped at the spot Syaoran had been standing.
"He sprouted wings" one of Erik's men gasped; "Is that possible?" he looked at Sakura who frowned. She hated when Syaoran got into one of his little moods. She couldn't believe he would just take off like that without saying a word.
"Eriol and the others are here. I'm going to greet them," Mei Lin said quickly jumping off the branch. She knew Syaoran had been jealous watching Erik and Sakura talk. She walked to the middle of the road and waved them over. Eriol and the others looked at mess they were riding into and didn't want to think about what had taken place.
Tomoyo looked at anything but the ground that was soaked in blood. It made her stomach turn, she had once hated men and still did some but she still hated the sight of death. Riding up to Mei Lin she didn't think anything when she didn't see Syaoran or Sakura. Eriol on the other hand knew that something was wrong. "Where's Syaoran?" he asked Mei Lin when they stopped in front of her.
"We don't know. There was a gust of wind and he just disappeared," she answered getting Tomoyo and Takashi's attention. Eriol frowned hearing that from her lips. He knew that when Syaoran took off something was bothering him greatly.
"And Sakura?" Tomoyo asked in worry. Mei Lin turned and pointed right when Sakura appears beside Erik along with the others following behind them. Tomoyo's eyes narrowed slightly wondering who the men were. She thought Sakura was adapting to the male race rather quickly.
Sakura was glad to see that everyone was okay. Upon reaching them she didn't even get the chance to introduce Erik before Eriol asked her a question. "What happened?" Giving a confused look, she wondered what he was talking about. "Syaoran?"
"I don't know he just left," she answered with a shrug. "This is Erik and his men. We're going to be riding with them to Galatia. Should we wait for Syaoran or make him catch up to us?" Eriol ignored her question as he thought about where Syaoran would head. He knew that something made him upset enough to just leave without saying where he was going.
"I think it best that we get on our way" Erik spoke not waiting for Eriol to answer. "It's best that we move fast so that no one can catch up to us. It's not safe these days" Eriol almost scowled at him.
"We stay. We are already a day ahead of schedule. There's no hurry, Syaoran will return here tonight," he stated making Mei Lin, Tomoyo and Takashi shake their heads. They looked at Sakura and she knew that they were waiting for her answer.
"He's right Sakura. They are after all going to help us find Nades and the others," Tomoyo continued in a soft tone. "Besides I'm tired" she was tired. After burying all those bodies she just wanted to relax and clear her mind.
"You must decide now. We're going to continue on our way" Erik spoke directly to Sakura. She didn't know what to do, he had helped them and now her friends were being rude.
"I think we should continue with Erik. There's safety in number and right now we're one short" she objected knowing that she was right. If Erik and his men hadn't helped out they would have been in a lot of trouble. Eriol didn't like that plan, he knew that Takashi and Mei Lin would stay with him but he wasn't sure about Tomoyo.
"What about Syaoran?" Mei Lin asked with worry. Sure he was always cold to her but it was mostly for her safety. She really didn't have a problem with him, none at all. Silence filled the group, the cool morning air whipped around them making Tomoyo shiver slightly. The horses were growing impatient as Sakura thought about what to do.
"Do you think Syaoran would want us to risk our lives and wait for him here? He would rather us carrying on" Sakura spoke almost glaring at Eriol. "Stay if you wish but Tomoyo and I are going to continue on. Remember that we have to reach our sisters, he's a big boy" she bit off but looking at Tomoyo. She didn't want to admit that she saw uncertainty in Tomoyo's eyes about leaving the others.
"Your right. We'll go with you" Eriol finally answered knowing that Syaoran wouldn't want him to leave them alone. Tomoyo was relieved that she didn't have to choose who she would go with, swallowing a sigh she looked at the heavens when they started on their way.

Two yellows eyes followed them as they rode off leaving only dust behind. Glancing at the men lying on the ground, it whispered into the winds. Suddenly the ground swallowed them up not leaving a trace of blood or sign that a battle had been fought there. "You'll become useful again" were the words that traveled on the cool night air…

Syaoran…
*
*
*
He had found his way to a cave after a day of flying. Now he curled himself into a ball as gruesome pain shot through his being. A growl escaped his lips, "NO" he hissed into the night. Suddenly the cave became very cold, he could feel an unwanted presence.
"You want to kill them do you not?" it asked surrounding him, to Syaoran it seemed like it was everywhere. He pushed himself unto all fours and looked around. His eyes darted around the darkness looking for the slightest movement. The only sound the came to him was the soft dripping of water, which echoed from deeper in the cave.
"Who the hell are you?" he hissed, his senses being filled with pure evil. He couldn't see the source but he could smell the stench of death on the air.
"Only a friend. Look" it, whispered, Syaoran's head snapped to the wall when a picture of Sakura and Erik pop up. "He's taking what's yours," it taunted in a menacing tone. "You're loosing her" Syaoran's eyes widened at the scene of Erik making love to Sakura. He could hear her moans of pleasure, and her wails for him to give her more. Every word tore at his heart, and it turned to stone watching Erik's hand flaunt her body.
"Shut up. Nothing is taken from me, nothing!" he cried venomously, his eyes shot open widely and his pupils turned reptile like. He could feel the dragon in him stir, it wanted out. It wanted to tear that Erik character to threads.
"That's not the way it seems. Joins us, become my dragon" he spoke in a silky soft voice. Syaoran shook his head, he wanted nothing more than to kill Erik and make Sakura pay for not caring for him. "Join me" a faint yellow glow started to circle him. "Become a part of me"
"NO" Syaoran cried in pain, his body felt like it was on fire. It was at that time he saw the figure standing the darkness. He knew that that was the man who was causing all the evil in the world; he was the man they were after.
"Don't fight it" Rakanis, the great Lord of black magic, persuaded him. He grinned wildly seeing the boy's body accepting the spell. Syaoran shook his head, his veins felt like they were being torn apart, his screams of pain echoed through the cave.
"You! You" Syaoran shouted feeling his body go numb. He knew that if he didn't get away he was going to be in a lot of trouble. He had to make himself get out of Rakanis spell he had to get away. 'COME FORTH' screamed his mind.
Rakanis grinned wickedly when Syaoran's body went limp. He thought he had won but was shocked when, he shot up and his body started to transform. "NO you are mine!" he shouted holding out his hand. He knew that if he had the Li Clan's leader under his control he would have another great minion. Now he could see that this boy wasn't as weak as he thought him to be if he was rejecting his spell.
"I belong to no one" the dragon roared, steam coming through its nostrils. "NO one!" a rumbling sound shook the earth, and a great ball of fire flew through the entrance of the cave. Through the fire flew the dragon wildly, blinded by pain. Lightening streaked across the forbidden black heavens, and thunder rumbled as sin of the earth was washed away.
Rakanis grinned not the least bit phased by his loss. Walking over to the pile of blood, he knew that the boy was almost his. He had to find him before he got help from a healer. "There will be plenty opportunities for me to get him. You've got just a little more time Wolf," he whispered before vanishing into the darkness.

Yelen…
*
*
*
She looked up from the letter she was reading when a draft flew through her
window. Getting up from where she was
sitting, she walked over to her door and latched it. "What's the matter?" she
asked the air in a soft tone turning towards the open balcony doors.
There wasn't a response and she frowned. "Come now. You visited me for a reason, did you not?" she spoke walking towards the balcony. Her hair flew about her when the breeze hit it; she took in a deep breath when she was surrounded by pain. "What's wrong?"
"He's going to loose the fight" someone whispered, it's word flowing on the wind. Yelen fell to her knees knowing that voice. It was the same she always heard after Syaoran's birth, the one that always told her of the great role he would play in life.
"What do you mean?" she inquired trying to swallow the pain. She sank to the ground; fear filled her knowing that she was feeling Syaoran's pain. "What's wrong?" she cried curling her self into a ball on the cold stone floor.
"The Evil wants him, he's weak and needs help" were the whispers that filled her mind. "Get him help" it screeched, "You know how valuable he is Yelen"
"I know Giya. I know" Yelen repeated continuously. She knew the spirit was gone when the room was filled with warmth. The door flew open and her daughters along with Wei hurried in with worry. Yelen said a small chant under her breath falling into a trance…

Night Fall…

"It's been a day and still there's no sign of Syaoran" Takashi said to Eriol in a soft voice. "What are we going to do?" he looked at the man in front of him knowing that he was thinking the same thing. They were in a small village just a little ways off from Galatia. They stopped the night because of a horrible thunderstorm.
"He's here just taking his time" Eriol answered hoping he was right. They stopped talking when Erik, Tomoyo and Mei Lin walked up. Takashi looked at Mei Lin when she laughed at something Erik said. He didn't like the man but kept it to himself. Tomoyo sat next to Eriol, cuddling up to him. "Where's Sakura?"
"She's asleep. Though she doesn't say it, I know she's deathly worried about Syaoran. Where is he?" Tomoyo asked with worry for her sister and their missing companion. Eriol looked into her eyes, and without saying a word told her what he was thinking. Mei Lin sat next to Takashi in silence; he looked at her out of the corner of his eyes.
"I'm sure he'll show up soon," Takashi said knowing that she was also wondering what had happened to Syaoran. The doctor who had given them shelter walked into the room with his wife following behind him. They thought he was very nice to give them shelter when no other would do so.

Sakura…
*
*
She tossed and turned in bed, a thin sheet of sweat on her forehead. "No" came through her parted lips. Her breathing would fall and rise as she was taken on a journey through her dream. With a scream her eyes snapped open. Looking outside the window, she jumped out of bed and ran out the door in her nightgown.
The others had heard her screams because they were the stairs waiting for her. "What's the matter?" Tomoyo asked worriedly seeing Sakura's pale face. Sakura didn't answer her as she ran to the door and threw it open.
"Sakura!" Eriol shouted running after her. He couldn't believe she would just run out into the night in the middle of storm in such clothing. Takashi and Erik followed behind him along with some of Erik's men wondering what was going on.
*
*
Eriol saw Sakura's form stop at the woods and wondered what she was waiting for. Sakura felt like she was in trance, she didn't know what happening but she knew that Syaoran was hurt. She could feel it, and her eyes stung with unshed tears.
The guys halted when a beast tore through the woods and flew overhead. Erik's men jumped back in fear getting their arrows ready. "Sakura get away from there" Erik shouted running after her. He jumped out of the way when the beast started towards him.
"Stay out of this" Eriol ordered knowing that it was his brother. He couldn't believe Syaoran was in his real form. He wondered what had triggered it, Erik stopped on command when the beast swayed out of his direction. Sakura screamed when it crashed to the ground, its size disappearing in the darkness.
*
*
Thunder crashed and lightening streaked across the heavens as she ran to him. Coming to his form, her hands shook as she dropped to her knees looking at his appearance. "Oh my god" she cried awfully seeing the blood dripping down his form. "Syaoran" she whispered going to touch him when his eyes snapped open.
"Help Me," he begged in pain. "Get it out of me" Sakura almost jumped at agonizing look his eyes. Syaoran clenched his teeth when Eriol arrived at his side.
"Don't touch him!" Sakura cried getting a weird look. "Don't there's evil here" she warned backing up from Syaoran's form.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Eriol snapped angrily. "He's in pain and hurt" he ignored her and went to touch him only to have Sakura push him away roughly.
"Listen to me. There's something wrong with him, don't touch him" she cried when Eriol picked himself up. He couldn't believe the nerve of her, but when Syaoran looked at him he could see the evil in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked not knowing how to help his brother. He didn't want to see Syaoran in such pain; it was something that got him. Sakura knew that something was trying to get control of him, she wasn't however sure if she should allow the men to touch him.
"The same from the village" she answered shocking the men present. "Get away" she warned when Syaoran turned to look at her. She could see the pain in his eyes, and badly she wanted to make it all go away. Holding back her own tears and fears she bent to his level. "Give me your jackets so that I might cover him" Eriol and Erik took off their jackets and handed it to her. Sakura did her best to make a makeshift covering for his nether region. "You have to get up, I need your help to get you back to the inn" she whispered in a panicky tone.
"I can't move" was his response. Sakura was about to yell at him when Tomoyo and Mei Lin showed up.
"What's the matter?" Tomoyo asked, she gasped seeing that it was Syaoran. "Syaoran?" Sakura looked at her sister with tears.
"You guys have to help me get him to the inn" Sakura said in a pleading tone. "You guys back up or leave," she commanded when Mei Lin and Tomoyo walked forward.
"We'll help" Mei Lin said in a soft tone bending down. Together the three of them hoisted Syaoran up, he was heavy but slowly they walked heading back towards the inn. They knew that whatever it was must be very painful and powerful if it put Syaoran out of commission.
The men were a head of them walking faster, when they arrived at the inn the doctor was standing at the door. "What's going on?" he asked in worry.
"Nothing, just back up and allow them to bring him inside" Takashi answered making him move out of the way. Sakura and the girls slowly brought Syaoran up the stairs heading towards Sakura's room.
"He's hurt. They need help" the doctor spoke wondering why men would allow woman to do such labor. When he had first met them, he thought the woman were a little odd and out of character.
"No just stay out of it" Eriol warned the doctor taking a hold of him. "This something not even your medicine can heal" he explained simply letting go of the doctor's arm. A moment later Mei Lin appeared at the top of the steps.
"What's happening?" Takashi asked when she started down slowly. She looked pale as life; he rushed up the stairs when she stumbled almost falling. Catching her in his arms, she looked at her worriedly. "Mei Lin?" he asked in a worried tone.
"It's almost like the men from the village. Sakura and Tomoyo are going to try and heal him," she whispered in a scared tone. "Something ripped his chest up horribly, he's lost a lot of blood" he sat on the steps with her at his side.
"It's okay" he whispered, Mei Lin shook her head and hugged him tightly trying to block out the sight she had just seen.
*
*
*
*
A mixture of light blue and red light escaped through the door lighting the hallway. A chant echoed from the room and through the hall drifting down the stairs. Inside, Sakura and Tomoyo sat on each side of Syaoran, their hands over his chest.
With great concentration they worked to rid his body of the evil that was trying to grow inside of him. Their mouths moved in perfect coordination reciting ancient healing hymns. Sakura opened her eyes momentarily only to see that he was still asleep.
She wanted to know badly what had happened to him. This was a horrible sight; thankfully they would be able to make it all go away. The dream was still on her mind, she wondered silently if Yelen had dreamed her truly because Syaoran was in pain and danger.
Her eyes snapped open when Tomoyo collapsed; she knew she was drained from all the power she was giving. Not breaking the spell she closed her eyes and continued giving all she could. She could feel the evil slowly dying but she wouldn't stop until all was gone. A presence so sinister didn't have the right to dwell in the body of her beloved; he was too loyal and righteous.
*
*
*
Syaoran's eyes slowly opened to a bright reddish pink light. He winced wondering where he was, everything was foggy, and he couldn't remember a thing. Glancing up he saw that he was in some kind of room, and there was a soft voice whispering something. "Sakura" he whispered wanting to reach up to touch her but his hands felt like laid.
"Shhh, rest beloved" she whispered not opening her eyes. Syaoran shook his head as his eyes slid closed, it was then Tomoyo started to come about. "You've done enough Tomoyo" Sakura spoke to her sister.
"I can do more," she objected by Sakura shook her head in a negative. Tomoyo looked at her silver hair that fell over her shoulders and held back a gasp.
"It'll go away. You just need rest" Sakura assured, "I shall be done soon. Go" Tomoyo got up slowly and walked towards the door. Sakura waved her hand towards the door and made it latch. She got up slowly as if she were in a trance; stripping down Syaoran's clothing she did the same.
Getting a blanket she laid herself on his healed chest and covered their body. Making sure that they were perfectly aligned she said a small spell making a box of fire surround them for protection. Eyes looked through the bedroom window, and with a frown it disappeared knowing that the shield was too strong for it.
*

Tomoyo didn't have to walk downstairs before she met up with Eriol. He almost gasps seeing her silver hair; rushing over to her he caught her before she fell. "What happened?" he asked worriedly when she looked at him tiredly.
"Nothing. I'll return to normal tomorrow," she whispered with a tired smile. Eriol picked her up and carried her to the room they would be sharing. Closing the door, he placed her on the bed and sat next to her. "Sakura's doing all she can to heal Syaoran"
"I know that. How are you?" he didn't know what they did but he knew it was dangerous if it made them age. He caressed her silver locks wanting her dark hair to return.
"Fine. Lay with me" she asked weakly. He didn't need to be asked again because he lay right next to her. Pulling the sheet over them, Eriol hugged her small body to his giving her warmth. Tomoyo instantly fell into a deep sleep. He lay awake looking at her beautiful face; he wouldn't sleep until she started to change back.

Next Day…
*

Takashi walked around the corner of the house only to see Mei Lin staring off in the distance. He slowed as not to disturb her. It was a beautiful day not at all portraying last night's horrible storm much less the events. They still hadn't heard anything of Syaoran's health. They wanted to know badly how he was doing, but they wouldn't wake them. "You don't have to stand there. What is it that you want?" Mei Lin asked softly opening her eyes. She had been meditating, it was routine for her, and after last night she really needed it.
It was something she did to clear her mind. It always seemed that when she did she became something else. And she loved doing it because she was told her mother was one who always meditated. "I didn't want to disturb you" Takashi replied softly making his way over to her. Slowly she turned to look at him, he noticed that she wore no make up and her hair was either tied back in a ponytail. She had been dressing simply since they left the Clan.
"You're not" came a soft response. He walked over to her and stood, "It's okay. Sit" taking her offer, he sat next to her. "Something's bothering you, isn't it?" she asked feeling the tension in his body.
"Something is bothering all of us," he answered; the soft afternoon wind tossed his hair to the side. "Why are you all the way out here by yourself?" he inquired making conversation. He didn't like the way things were going. Every day it seemed to be getting more complicated.
"I was thinking," she answered truthfully watching a rabbit poke it's head out of a hole. "Last night scared me," she admitted barely above a whisper. "It seems like just yesterday the only problems I had dealt with what dress I was going to wear but now—" she frowned not knowing how to continue. She didn't want to come off and tell him straight out that she was scared. "Now I've experienced true evil" he knew what she was feeling even though her pride kept her from saying it.
"We're all unsure of what is going on," he said turning to look at her. Mei Lin looked into his dark eyes urging him to continue, she needed anything to assure her of their cause. "All we can do is watch out for the other and pray that something good comes from this" he took her hand in a friendly gesture and gave it a gentle squeeze. A soft smile touched her lips, "You just need to remember that you aren't alone in this, we're all here"
"Thank you" she said sincerely. She never would have guessed that she would have had such a talk with Takashi. When they met she couldn't stand him, but now she could see that she had been unfair in judgment.
"No problem. Come it's not safe to be wondering off alone" together they got up and headed towards the house in each other's company.

Syaoran…
*
*
*
*
He had woken up this afternoon to find the bed empty. Holding his throbbing head, he walked towards the door after dressing. He didn't remember much of last night or how he had gotten here. This house was unfamiliar to him. Coming to the stairs, he walked down slowly. The sound of chatter drifted to his sensitive ears and he followed them.
*
*
*
Takashi looked up only to see Syaoran standing at the door looking as good as new. Everyone quieted seeing him, there was something off about him though. It was the way he was looking at them. "Xiao Lang?" Takashi gasped getting up like the others.
Everyone looked at him wondering how he was feeling. They were also dying to know what had happened and caused last night. "Where's Sakura?" he asked not seeing her with them. Tomoyo stepped forward, she still had a few grays in her hair but it would be gone by tomorrow.
"She's at the temple" Syaoran shook his head and turned to walk away. They watched him go without stopping him. "At least we know he's back to his old self' she muttered turning to face everyone in the room. She was about to continue talking but suddenly stopped when Mei Lin gasped in shock.
"Xiao Lang?" Eriol whispered a frown touching his lips. Syaoran looked at everyone wondering why they were looking at him in such a fashion. He had horrible headache, and he only wanted to find Sakura.
"Where's Sakura?" he asked making Tomoyo frown, her eyes narrowing at him. She didn't understand what was going on.
"We just told you that she was in the temple praying. Is this some kind of joke?" Mei Lin answered wondering where his humor came from. She thought he would be pissed at the person or thing that got him pretty messed up.
"What are you talking about?" Syaoran bit out tightly. It was at that moment it all dawned on them, "It wasn't me" he whispered turning around.
"Then who was it?" Tomoyo almost yelled running to grab her arrows.
"Sakura" Mei Lin breathed fearfully when Syaoran took off for the door. If they hadn't sent him to the temple, whom had they sent?
