~*As promised, I'm writing the next chapter. I'm not sure how many more there will be. I've also noticed that my chapters have been really short, so I'll try and write a little more this time. Disclaimer: is this really necessary? I don't own CCS *sulk*.*~

"Whe-where are we?" Meilin asks. The group is in a pitch black room. No one can see a thing. Meilin is grabbing on to Yue's cloths. She doesn't know who she's hanging on to of course. Syaoran hears Sakura whimpering. He knows she does not like dark, spooky things so he follows her voice to find her.

Sakura shrieks when she felt someone touch her. "It's ok, it's me." Syaoran says trying to calm her down.

"Syaoran?" Sakura grabs on to Syaoran feeling a little bit better. A yellow glow suddenly shines the room. The source of the light is coming from Eriol's staff. The room they are in is completely lit up.

The room is pretty large and the walls are made of stone. The walls made just about everyone restless because there are numerous pictures of the group pinned up on them. The ones with the most pictures on the walls were Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol. Pictures of Kero, Yue, Ruby Moon, and Spinel Sun were there as well. Written on the pictures are lists of strengths and weaknesses of each person.

Looking away from the walls, the group can see that there are several chairs and couches in the room and a little table in the center. On the table are two unlit black candles with a closed book on old fashion between them.

Selene is no where to be seen and that gets everyone nervous. They have no idea how they got there. The last thing they knew was that Selene said she wanted their powers and all of the sudden they were in this dark room.

Eriol walks up to the only door in the room and tries to open it. Pain sliced through his arm as dark magic pulses through his body. Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun rush to Eriol's side to see if he is ok. "Well, we can't get out that way." he says rubbing his arm. He smiles to them to let them know that he's ok.

"What are we going to do? How do we get out of here?" Sakura asks to no one in particular.

As if they were answering her question, the two black candles suddenly lit themselves, illuminating the entire room. The light from Eriol's staff disappears. There, standing on the opposite side of the table from the group, stood Selene with that evil smile of hers. "You are going to do nothing, except hand over all of your powers to me."

"Never!" Syaoran yells, taking out his sword, prepared for battle. Everyone follows his example preparing to fight Selene. Even Meilin, who is ready to fight her, martial arts style.

"Oh I don't think you want to do that."

The book opens by itself and flips its pages before it stops close to the middle of the book. No one pays much attention to the book because they are shocked to see Tomoyo appear out of nowhere, floating in midair over the candle flames. She is still in her deep sleep that Selene put her in.

"Tomoyo?" Sakura says. "How?" She looks over to Eriol who is just as surprised.

"Impossible, there's no way she could have gotten through my barrier."

"Oh but I did. Her life is in my hands. Now surrender your powers to me or she dies."

No one moves. They are still a little shocked to see Tomoyo floating in front of them. Sakura grips her staff preparing to attack Selene to get her friend back.

"Do not even think about it Sakura. The second you begin to attack me you have sealed your dear friend's fate."

Sakura stops dead in her tracks. She doesn't know what to do. A small tear is seen in her eye. "Leave her out of this! Give me my friend back!"

"Oh I'm afraid not. She is mine, as will be you all." Selene laughs at them. "But first, I will dispose of the one that has no magical powers."

Everyone looks to Meilin afraid to lose her to Selene too. They all form a circle around her to protect her. "Hey! Let me out of this, I can fight her!"

Selene chuckles and a ray of dark magic is seen coming from her hand aimed at Meilin. The four guardians put up their shields as Eriol and Sakura put up their own. The magic is barley deflected.

In a rage, Syaoran runs up to Selene, sword in hand, preparing to attack. "SYAORAN!" Sakura yells as she sees Selene's dark magic coming for Syaoran.

Syaoran's sword pulses with power and is glowing a bright blue. He slices through the dark magic and takes aim at Selene. Surprised for just a moment, Selene backs away and a sword magically appears in her hands. She lunges at Syaoran and they meet in midair. They both land on their feet and everyone looks to see who won.

Seconds seemed like hours to the group as they look on. Selene laughs and stands up. Syaoran drops to the floor, unconscious. "Syaoran!" Sakura and Meilin yell as they rush to him. "What did she do to you?" Meilin asks in anger.

Sakura holds Syaoran in her arms as tears begin to fall. "Syaoran." she whispers. "Syaoran please wake up."

"He will not wake up. He is in the same sleep your friend is." Selene says with a pleased smile. "And now I will take his magic."

"NO!" Sakura puts Shield up, but it is too late. Selene uses her magic to make Syaoran float in midair and fly next to her. Everyone runs up to attack her but Selene has absorbed his power and put a very powerful barrier in between her and them. Sakura and Meilin crash into the barrier and are sent flying to the other side of the room as the rest stop right before they get to it.

Kero and Yue run up to Sakura to see if she is alright as Eriol, Ruby, and Spinel go to Meilin.

"Fools. I am more powerful than I was before." They all look over at Selene and see Syaoran floating next to Tomoyo.

Tears are falling down Sakura's face. 'No I must not cry.' she thinks to herself 'I have to do something about this. It will be alright.'

~*So what do you think? It's a little bit longer. My muse is being kind to me and I believe I will be able to write another chapter before I go to work. Please review.*~
