Ja ne Little Wolf
"It is almost time," said a voice, a smooth, ice cold voice.
"Hai, it is," came another voice. "When should I leave?"
"Soon. . . " said the first voice. "I'll tell you when. Just be ready."
The second voice seemed to chuckle. "I've been ready for this since I can remember, father."
"Hai, that's true," the first voice said, amused. "I just hope the Cherry Blossom puts up a worthy fight."
"She isn't even worth our time, why bother?" came the question of the second voice.
"You do not understand my son," the first voice pointed out.
"Iie, I don't, tell me," the second voice said calmly.
"She has powers that have yet to surface, and so does the Little Wolf, and we can't let them release it or our plans will be spoiled!"
"What you mean is - "
"Hai, that's exactly what I mean."
"They can't be the -"
"Oh, but they are. They just don't know. That's why we need to destroy Japan."
"I - I understand now."
"Whatever you do, don't under estimate your enemies."
"I won't, father."
"Good," the first voice said, his lips curving into a hungered smile, a light chuckle escaping his lips. "It's time for you two to die my little Cherry Blossom, and Little Wolf."
-
'It's time for you two to die my little Cherry Blossom, and Little Wolf,' an ice cold voice rang in Sakura's and Syaoran's ears alone.
Their heads perked up. They were in class.
-Nani!?- Sakura thought to herself, her insides and outsides feeling all of a sudden cold. She turned around in her seat and looked at Syaoran, who looked shocked, suprised, and confused. "Did you hear it?" she whispered to Syaoran. He nodded gravely. "What do you think it ment?"
"Kinomoto-san, Li-san, is there something you wish to share with the class?" Terada-sensei asked.
Sakura looked up at him and smiled nervously. "I-iie, nothing at all! Just telling Syaoran-kun how much I enjoy math!" she lied.
Terada-sensei eyed her, then continued his lesson. Sakura let out a sigh. -That sure was a close one!-
-After School-
"What do you think that voice ment?" Sakura asked as her and Syaoran walked down the side walk.
"I don't know," Syaoran admitted. "Let's just be prepared for whatever happens."
Sakura nodded. After a while of silence, Sakura said, "Clow Reed visited me in my dream."
"He did!?" Syaoran asked, shocked. "What did he say?"
Sakura repeated the prophecy to him. Both were in silence after that. Sakura suddenly came to a halt, Syaoran stopped and looked at her. Her fists were clenched. "Syaoran-kun? D-do you think that - that Japan will be destroyed - today? Do you think that's what the voice ment?" Tears formed in her eyes as she looked at the ground.
Syaoran stared at her, unsure of what to say. Then he placed his hands on her shoulder. "Don't worry Sakura-chan, I'm sure everything will be fine in the end."
"That's what Kero-chan said," Sakura muttured, clear enough for Syaoran to hear. "Demo - I still have a feeling that everything WON'T be fine."
Syaoran's grip on Sakura's shoulder gently tightened. "You can't give up hope just yet Sakura-chan! You have to have faith in yourself, in me, and in others!"
-Have faith, and never give up- Sakura repeated the passage from her dream, in her mind. She looked up at Syaoran, emerald meeting amber. "You're right Syaoran-kun, I was just afraid of what would happen."
He brought his hands down from his side and smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."
Sakura looked up at him, suprised. That's the first time she actually seen him smile! His smile made her feel weak at her knees and a blush crept her cheeks.
"You alright?" Syaoran asked in concern, seeing the faint pink on her cheeks.
"H-hai I'm fine," Sakura replied, shaking away her blush. "I just noticed something."
"Hm? Nani?" Syaoran asked, as he blinked.
Sakura smiled. "That's the first time I saw you smile."
Syaoran blinked again, then blushed.
"You know, you really should smile more often, you look kawaii when you do," Sakura said, blushing when she realized she called him cute.
Syaoran turned even redder.
"Konichawa Li-san, Sakura-chan," rang the cheerful voice of Tomoyo as she walked up to them with Eriol.
Sakura turned and waved at them.
"Do you two want to go out for some ice cream?" Eriol asked them.
"I can't. Onii-chan isn't home so I have to clean the house," Sakura said dully.
"I would go. . . demo I have to do my homework," Syaoran said.
Sakura turned to leave. "Ja ne Tomoyo-chan, Syaoran-kun, Eriol-kun!" She ran off.
"Well I should be going too, Ja!" With that said, Syaoran walked away.
"So Eriol-kun, what do you wanna do?" Tomoyo asked.
"Let's go get some of that ice cream we were gonna get," Eriol said as he held her hand and both walked towards the ice cream parlor.
Tomoyo giggled. "Hai, let's."
Meanwhile, Sakura slowed down to a walk once she was out of the other's sight. She could smell the scent of the cherry blossom trees in the air. She felt calm, yet scared. Something was going to attack, but when? And who? Sakura walked past her house. She lied to Tomoyo and Eriol about having to clean up the house, because she wanted some time alone. She walked into King Penguin Park and little kids ran past her, giggling. Sakura walked into the woods. She could see the sun shining through the trees, and the songs of the birds' rang in her ears. She walked between two trees, and found herself staring out on a cliff, showing Tokyo which was miles away. Walking to the edge of the cliff, she sat down and the wind blew gently on her face, her hair brushing her shoulders.
What she didn't know, was that a figure watched her from behind the trees.
Sakura suddenly became tense, as she felt someone watching her. Slowly standing up, she faced the trees and demanded, "Who's there? Come out!"
The figure stepped from behind the tree. Sakura couldn't see the person's face because it wore a chestnut brown robe, the hood covering the figure's face. The person was about a head shorter then her.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked.
The figure removed its hood, to reveal a girl about twelve years old. Her eyes were an ocean bluish-green, with bleached blonde hair. "I'm Misty. Are you the Card Mistress?"
"Hai, hai I am," Sakura nodded.
Misty's eyes seemed to brighten. "I finally found you! Ano. . . what's your name?"
"Sakura," she replied.
Misty ran up to her and clasped one of her hands as she placed her forehead on the back of her palm. "Sakura-sama! I've been looking for you everywhere!"
"Sakura-sama?" Sakura repeated slowly, a bit uncertainly.
"Hai!" Then Misty looked around, then looked back up at Sakura. "Where's Syaoran-sama?"
"Syaoran-kun? I'm not sure, he's probably at his apartment," Sakura replied. "Why?"
"I need to speak with you and him!" she said, urgency in her voice.
Sakura nodded. "Follow me."
Misty followed Sakura through the woods and through King Penguin Park. They walked at a fast pace towards Syaoran's apartment.
"Exactly why do you need to speak with me and Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked Misty.
"You'll see," was all she said.
They finally made it to the apartments and both girls walked up the stairs and to Syaoran's apartment. Sakura raised a fist and knocked on the door. She heard a muffled, "Coming," then the door opened, to reveal Syaoran.
"Sakura-chan? What are you doing here?" Syaoran asked, suprised to see her. Then he noticed Misty. "Who's she?"
"This is Misty, she said she had something important to tell us," Sakura replied.
Syaoran let them in and all three sat in the living room.
"So what is it that you wanted to tell us?" Syaoran asked Misty.
"You two are the only hope for the world," Misty said simply.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked slowly. "We're not strong enough to beat them!"
"Hai, you are," Misty stated firmly. "You just don't know it. Both of you have powers you never imagined. It's burried deep in the two of you, and unless you don't release it, the whole world is doomed."
"Demo - in the prophecy, it said that only the two chosen ones could defeat 'em," Sakura said slowly.
"And who do you think the two of you are?" Misty asked.
Syaoran and Sakura looked at Misty in disbelief.
"Nani!?! You gotta be kiding me!" Syaoran exclaimed.
"I'm not," Misty said seriously. "Sakura-sama, do you want to know why you couldn't remember what happened when you faced Shadow?" Sakura nodded. "It's because you released your powers! And insince you didn't have complete control of it because you didn't know about it, you weren't able to remember using it. Now that you two know about it, you might have a 50, 50 chance of releasing it. So now do you believe me?"
Both Sakura and Syaoran sat there a bit dazed. How is it they were the ones that were the chosen ones?
-Everything's happening to fast!- Sakura cried in her mind. "How do you know all this?"
Misty smiled secretly. "That's for me to know. Don't worry about anything Sakura-sama, Syaoran-sama, we'll be watching over you."
Sakura and Syaoran stared at Misty confused. She got up and walked to the door, she opened it.
"Good luck you two," she said as she walked out the door and closed it.
"I should be leaving too," Sakura said after a while of silence. She got off the couch and walked to the door. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow Syaoran-kun, Ja ne." With that said, she left.
Syaoran stared at the door for a while, then he shook his head and stood up. He pulled out his pendent, changed it to his sword, and began practicing. His swings were smooth and swift. He cut through the air making swishing sounds.
"So, you're the future Li Clan Leader," came a voice.
Syaoran stopped his training and looked up to see a boy his age with silver hair and eyes. Syaoran glared.
"Who are you?" Syaoran demanded to know.
"I'm Drake," he replied with a smirk. "And I'm here to destroy you."
"Who sent you?" Syaoran asked.
"My Master," Drake said simply.
"Who's your master?" Syaoran asked impatiently.
"Lord Hades and Lord Zero," Drake said. "Now enough questions, it's time for you to die!" He held out his hand and a sword materialized in his hand. He charged at Syaoran.
Syaoran jumped back wards to avoid the sword, the back of his knees hitting the coffee table. Then he jumped backwards over the coffee table to avoid another attack. Drake jumped onto the table and both were locked in a sword battle.
"We can't fight in here!" Syaoran exclaimed as he blocked an attack.
"Hai, we can!" Drake replied simply with a smirk as he dodged to the side, avoiding getting stabbed in his sides.
After a while of fighting, both boys stood feets apart from each other, the coffee table knocked upside down, papers on the carpet, dents from the swords were on the wall, and both glared at each other. Then, Drake smirked. "So, the rumors are true, you are a worthy apponent. I just hope the Card Mistress will put up a worthy fight."
Syaoran felt his blood boil. He demanded, "What do you mean?"
Drake shrugged lazily, a mischevious glint in his eyes. "Let's just say someone's out to get her, and I was just stating that I hope she puts up a fight to protect herself from him."
That's when realization hit him. This fight against Drake was just a distraction so that someone could get Sakura, and bring them to Lord Hades and Lord Zero, but he knew they really wanted him dead so his true powers wouldn't be unleashed. You could clearly see the fire burning in his eyes as he charged at Drake. He raised his sword above his head, aiming for Drake's skull. Jumping in the air, Syaoran brought his sword down, ready for the kill. Drake smirked in mischief. He secretly drew back his sword, and when Syaoran's sword was just inches from his face, he pushed his sword - stabbing Syaoran at his side.
Syaoran's eyes widen in realization as he felt the sword go through him. Pain was all he felt now. His sword fell with a clang to the ground, and Drake drew back his sword. Syaoran held the wound that bleed rapidlly. His face turned pale, and short, pained, gasps escaped his lips. He fought to keep his eyes open, yet they felt heavy, and all he wanted to do was go to sleep - forever. But he kept on fighting. Blood rolled down his side and to the ground.
"Die you fool," Drake hissed.
"I. . . . . . won't. . . . give up. . . "Syaoran panted, one eye tightly closed as he fell on one knee.
A shrilled, evil, laugh rang all around the apartment. Drake was laughing, not a happy laugh, but one full of evil. "Ja ne Little Wolf!"
Syaoran could feel himself loosing consciousness. Darkness slowly covered his vision like a wave of darkness. He collapsed on the ground, and slowly closed his eyes. -Ja ne Sakura-chan. . . . Gomen nasi I didn't fight. . . . .- Then, darkness was all he saw.
A/N: Is Syaoran really gone? Who knows? Well of course I do. . . .demo you'll just have to wait t'ill the next chapter to find out. . . anyways. . . gomen nasi if this is a short chapter! The more reviews I get. . the sooner I can add another chapter. . . . R&R!
"It is almost time," said a voice, a smooth, ice cold voice.
"Hai, it is," came another voice. "When should I leave?"
"Soon. . . " said the first voice. "I'll tell you when. Just be ready."
The second voice seemed to chuckle. "I've been ready for this since I can remember, father."
"Hai, that's true," the first voice said, amused. "I just hope the Cherry Blossom puts up a worthy fight."
"She isn't even worth our time, why bother?" came the question of the second voice.
"You do not understand my son," the first voice pointed out.
"Iie, I don't, tell me," the second voice said calmly.
"She has powers that have yet to surface, and so does the Little Wolf, and we can't let them release it or our plans will be spoiled!"

"They can't be the -"
"Oh, but they are. They just don't know. That's why we need to destroy Japan."
