***Last Time…
"No…" she whispered, but it failed. The world around her was dissolving into black.
A faint voice called out to her, "Sakura! Sakura!" reaching out, Sakura tried to touch the voice, to grab hold of someone, to do anything to stop the pain and horror.
"Sakura! Sakura!" Suddenly, all the pain died away. A sharp pain was suddenly issued on her face. Screaming once again, Sakura fell into the merciful darkness, not having the strength to pull herself out.

Chapter 5
Never Ending Darkness
"Sakura! Sakura!" Syaoran cried, shaking Sakura's form. But she refused to wake up. He slapped her face, anything to wake her up, "No! Sakura! Sakura! Please… Sakura…" Syaoran cried as he slipped to his knees, holding her head in his arms.
"I'm so sorry… we came too late… She must have seen… Death," Kagome said, trying to comfort him. She glanced up at Shisha, "Anything we can do?"
Shisha shook her head, "I was afraid of this. Seems she has already seen Death."
"Is there anyway we can save her?" Tomoyo asked. She was wrapped in Serena's arms, as she too was trying to comfort her.
Shisha paused for a moment, "Well… I'll have to ask my boss that. I'll call him now. Megumi, Tsubame, can you watch over her? Make sure she doesn't…" Shisha left the sentence unfinished before heading downstairs.
"What do you mean Death has already taken her soul!?" Shisha's boss cried over the phone. She had gone downstairs and had reached headquarters, only to find the chief was livid.
"It's true Chief. She won't respond. She's got all pf the symptoms of Death."
"She' in a coma?"
"Yes, we can't wake her up."
"Is she saying anything?"
"Just muttering things like no and she sometimes names her friends. She's quiet most of the time."
The chief was silent. Finally, he spoke, "Shisha, that means we will only have four teams-four goddesses. The legend speaks of five. Something must be wrong."
"Sir, the legend speaks of five goddesses, descending upon Death and fighting a harsh battle. But in the end, the five fail. The legend then tells that the soul of one of the others from the five teams, is the true goddess, and from her body comes the fire goddess. But she too is unsuccessful."
The chief continued the story, "And then, from the body of the fire goddess, will be the birth of Life, the only thing that can destroy Death. This is how the legend goes. Why do you ask about it?"
"Because maybe she is the is the first one Death strikes down. Maybe Death has beaten us in gathering the goddesses."
"Impossible. My readings show that Death is in the DBZ dimension and fighting with the group their now. Something must be wrong."
"But sir, I-" But Shisha was cut off.
"Shisha! This just came in! We've got the final names of the holders of Death's soul!"
"Who!?"
"The names are: Maylo ("We've got her."), Sierra ("I've sent a team to get her."), and Saleen."
Shisha was frozen to the spot. Breathing quickly she whispered into the phone, "Sir… does… does she know yet?"
"According to my calculations, she… she learned of her job last night. She saw the vision."
Shisha's heart stopped.
"Shisha, be warned, she-" but he was cut off. Her breath quickening, Shisha slowly turned around. There was Saleen, holding a pair of scissors and the phone cord. And on her face, was the sign of Death, the pale skin, and the wicked smile of death and destruction.
***To Be Continued…
***Sakura G: Ya, ya, ya. I know. It's only three pages. But hey, that means the chapters will come out faster! ^^ Anyway, so we learn a bit more about how they are going to defeat Death and we don't learn a single thing about what happened to Sakura other than she was supposedly the evil spy person until the names came in. You'll learn a bit more about Death, these "goddesses", whatever happened to Sakura, and everything else in either the next chapter, or future chapters. Okay then well, bubye! ^^V
