KawaiiQuerida-chan: Thank you for my reviews! They meant A LOT to me! This thanks goes out to I hope you like this chapter also.

Kero: sighs I remember watching you write this chapter, KQ-chan. It seems like it was just two days ago….

KQ-chan: Or two years ago. I was in the middle of 7th grade when I wrote this, Kero, now I'm at the end of 9th.

Kero: So?

KQ-chan: W/e On to the story!

Ch 6: Is it a love ruined?

Sakura and Syaoran were seated in a limo. Sakura was pushing all the buttons, seeing what each cold do. It was obvious she was already delighted, and Syaoran himself was perfectly content just watching the one he loved.

"So, Syao-kun, where are we going?" Sakura asked as she sat down beside him.

"You'll see—it's not very far away. Did you try all the buttons?" he replied.

At the first sentence, Sakura's face turned into a pout. But, as a reply to the second, she smiled.

"I think so, but I didn't try the one marked 'razor.' That's probably why it's marked—so you don't get cut. This is fun, though. I've never been in a limo before," she said as she put her head on Syaoran's shoulder.

"Honto? Have you ever been on a plane?"

"Hai!" Her head shot up, and then she made a face. "Just once when I was 10. It didn't start out so good, though."

"Why?" he asked, curious.

"Touya said you had to take off your shoes before you went on—that embarrassed me plenty—but then Kero popped out of my bag and surprised me, so I acted funny and everybody looked at me. It wasn't so fun. Actually, the entire trip was horrible, but I don't think it'll be that horrible next time—I hope."

"Where'd you go?"

Sakura giggled. "Hong Kong! I won the tickets in a lottery, but I kinda cheated."

"You were in Hong Kong? How'd you cheat? What went wrong?"

"My, my, my…so many questions! And yet you can't even answer one for me," she said as she looked at Syaoran, who was watching her expectantly. "Oh all right. There was a sorceress. She loved Clow, but she tried to use her powers for darkness. Clow didn't like that much, so he locked her up in another realm. She called to Clow, but with him being dead, he couldn't answer. I was the keeper of the Cards, so I got called instead. From there, it was just a complicated mess of Yuki and Touya being captured (I freed Tomoyo) and me fighting to save them. Obviously I won."

"I wish you'd have left Touya there. But I remember that. I sensed an aura, but Mother wouldn't let me chase after it. I'd wondered why at the time, but now I know." He beckoned to her. She went over to him and rested her head on his shoulder again.

"Yeah, but that was nothing. I almost lost love."

"You did?"

"Yeah."

I wonder how she almost lost love. Oh well, maybe she'll tell me. It's even possible that Tomoyo taped it.

"Master Li, we've arrived at Unmei."

"Arigatou."

Sakura had sat up when she heard Wei speak. When she looked out the window, she couldn't help but gasp. "We-we're at Unmei!"

"Indeed."

"Oh Kami-sama!"

She rushed over to the right and pushed the button she knew was to bring a mirror.

The door opened and Syaoran stepped out. The chauffer extended his hand, and Sakura took it. Syaoran then extended his arm. With a giggle, she took it and they proceeded onward.

When they stepped in, Sakura uttered a soft cry. "Syao-kun, I think it's too expensive."

"Nonsense," he whispered. They walked toward a butler looking guy behind a podium. "Reservation for Li?"

"Certainly. This way, please."

They followed him past many tables until they reached a room with a door. They man opened it, and Sakura and Syaoran stepped in.

It was as a simple enough room, but just as fabulous as the area they had walked through. To the right was a table with two chairs, and a candle in the center. There was an open window straight ahead, and you could clearly see the moon and stars. With the slow music playing, it was extremely romantic.

"Wow," Sakura whispered.

"A waiter will be arriving shortly."

"So?" asked Syaoran once the man had left.

"Oh my. Can we dance?"

"If you want to."

"Definitely!" Sakura picked a chair and sat in it. "Now what do I want?" she gave Syaoran a big smile. "What about you? You pick first."

He gave Sakura his 'only you' smile and sat down across from her. He picked up a menu and scanned it. "Hey, look—they have foreign foods. France, Italy, Germany…there's a lot, but I think I'll try Italian food."

"Me too!"

He chuckled; then returned to his menu.

"I'm gonna get the chicken Alfredo, okay, Syaoran?" she said to him.

"And I'll get Chicken Parmesan. What do you want to drink?"

Sakura decided on Raspberry iced tea while Syaoran decided on water, and just then the waiter stepped in.

"I'm Yoko and I'll be your server. Have you decided on what you're going to order?"

"Hai. We'll have one Chicken Alfredo and one Chicken Parmesan and a glass of water and raspberry iced tea," replied Syaoran.

"Is that all?"

"Hai."

"Okay, I'll be back with your drinks and your meals will come shortly."

"Arigatou," replied Sakura and Syaoran at the same time.

Yoko bowed, and then left.

"While dance while we're waiting?" asked Sakura eagerly.

"Sure." Syaoran went up to Sakura, bowed, and then extended his hand. "May I have this dance?"

"Surely."

As they came together, the radio started to play another song:

I looked away

Then I looked back at you

You tried to say

Thinks that you can't undo

If I had my way

I'd never get over you

Today's the day

I pray that we make it though

Make it through the fall

Make it through it all

I don't want to fall to pieces

I just want to sit and stare at you

I don't want to talk about it

I don't want a conversation

I just want to cry in front of you

I don't to talk about it

Cause I'm in love with you

You're the only one

I'd be with till the end

When I come undone

You bring me back again

Back under the stars

Back into your arms

I don't want to fall to pieces

I just want to sit and stare at you

I don't want to talk about it

I don't want a conversation

I just want to cry in front of you

I don't to talk about it

Cause I'm in love with you

Want to know who you are

Want to know where to start

I want to know what this means

Want to know how to feel

Want to know what is real

I want to know everything, everything

I don't want to fall to pieces

I just want to sit and stare at you

I don't want to talk about it

I don't want a conversation

I just want to cry in front of you

I don't to talk about it

Cause I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

Cause I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

I'm in love with you

'Syaoran, can this be our song?'

'Hai.'

flashback

Suddenly, the restaurant was gone. Sakura saw herself, at three, crying on her bed.

'The day Kaa-san died.'

The little girl was shaking hard, and the tears wouldn't stop.

'I wish I could help me,' came Sakura's…odd thought.

Then, out of the shadows popped out an almost see through Syaoran, also around 3. He hopped on the bed and stroked Sakura's hair.

"It's going to be all right—everything's going to be okay. Shhhh…calm down, Sakura. You're going to be okay.

"Honto?"

"Hai."

"Arigatou, Syao-kun."

"Doi tashi mashite."

'You see it too?'

Sakura whipped her head around, a bit confused and paranoid. After all, she had apparently traveled back in time without meaning to at all. But she had no reason to worry—it was just Syaoran, who also, it appeared, had come back in time or…something.

Neither of the two could believe that they had forgotten one another—it was practically unthinkable. But they WERE very young, they reasoned, so they couldn't really be expected to remember anything.

Then, the scenery changed. Now they weren't outside. This time, Syaoran was opaque. His eyes were cold, and he wasn't crying a tear. Everybody left and they could see a coffin. Now, an almost transparent Sakura appeared.

"Sakura."

"You helped me, so I'm going to help you."

Present Sakura looked around the area, trying to figure out exactly where they were. She realized they were at Syaoran's father's grave just when she spotted past Yelan watching past Syaoran.

Sakura gasped. 'Your mother—she knew! About me, I mean,' she said.

Syaoran turned his head in surprise quickly towards his mother. 'I guess so. And that WOULD explain it.'

'Uh-huh.' Sakura said, trying to act like she understood exactly what Syaoran had just said.

Syaoran put his arm around her waist and brought her closer to him. 'Remember when I told you that I had come here by orders of my mother to find a wife?'

'Hai.'

'Wouldn't it have made more sense if I went to Tokyo or some big city like that?'

Realization dawned on Sakura. 'Kitto!'

'She must have heard me talking to you or saying your name. She might have even been able to see you herself. She sent me in hopes that I would fall in love with you, and I did.'

Sakura blushed. 'Me too!'

They turned their attention back to their 3-year-old selves. Neither realized that Yelan was watching, so they comfortably talked. (A/n: Lil Saku and Syao, I mean.)

Little Syaoran was holding Little Sakura as if she were his last hope. While watching, a feeling washed over Present Syao.

He sighed. 'I loved you even this long ago, Sakura.'

"Don't worry, Syaoran—everything will be okay, remember?"

"I remember."

"Good! What do you want to do? We've got to cheer you up somehow. You cheered me up, after all, when my mother passed away."

"Arigatou, Sakura-chan."

Little Sakura cocked her head to the side cutely. "Dousta?"

"For being my friend—my only friend."

"I'll always be your friend, no matter what."

Syaoran hugged Sakura, and the vision changed.

Now they were at Penguin Park. Sakura was 5, and Touya was just finishing his lecture.

"…Okay, Kajuu? Yukito and I will be just across the park."

"I'm not a kajuu! I can take care of myself—I've even beaten you up!"

Touya blushed. "Stop joking!" And he left with Yukito.

When they were out of earshot, Sakura spoke. "Are you here, Syao-kun?"

"Hai," he said, sounding sad.

Sakura, worried, ran over to him. "What's wrong? Daijobu desu ka?"

"No, not at all. They're making me train longer and harder. I won't have any free time anymore—at all! And there's another Li that just moved in. I think he saw you, and I don't know if it's safe for you to be around me."

"S-so-so then this is goodbye?"

"Today is our last day. Gomen nasai."

"I understand. And maybe you can visit me sometimes and stuff," Sakura offered hopefully.

Syaoran knew this was highly doubtful, but didn't want to make Sakura any more depressed than she already was. "Maybe. But I promise, some day, I'll return."

"Pinky swear?"

"Pinky swear." They locked pinkies.

"Well, then we'd better make this day the best day!"

'I'm going to go check around this place.' Syaoran thought.

'Dousta?' Sakura wanted to know.

'I think my mother's around here somewhere…. I just want to check.'

'Okay.' Sakura thought as Syaoran went to check for his mother.

Sakura continued to watch the scene and got teary eyed. "I loved you too." She whispered and sniffed.

Past Sakura had gone to the restroom, so Past Syaoran was in the sandbox all alone. And for some reason, he heard Sakura speak. He turned his head, and when he saw Sakura, his eyes widened.

"Sakura?" he asked, mystified.

Sakura looked behind her, just to make sure. "You can see me? Yes, I'm Sakura. But you can't say anything, because Syaoran might get worried or upset."

"Me?" P-Syao was obviously confused.

"Basically, but 11 years older."

"Why would I get upset?"

"Because I could change history—oh no! Listen, you have to forget about me, okay? Trust me, it'll all work out. Just be as miserable as possible! No, that's not right! Oh! I'm confusing myself!" Sakura looked at the ground and tapped her foot, trying to sort out what she was trying to say.

"Do you love me?" asked P-Syao bluntly.

Sakura debated on telling him or not, and chose that first. "Yes, but don't tell me that I love you, cuz I want me to find out for meself! Herself. Myself. Me's self. Ug…"

P-Syao smiled. "You don't change."

"I do! I think. Yes, I do! And you'll be surprised, Mr. Descendent of Clow Reed!"

He gasped. "You know!"

'Sakura, where did you go?'

'Here!'

'Where's here?'

'By Syao-kun, Syao-kun!'

'Why are you by him, we don't know if he can see us or not!' he said as he sat down beside her.

Sakura winked at P-Syao, who sat facing Sakura in the sandbox, pretending to be playing by himself.

She ignored his statement. 'It's too bad that you had to train and that that Li came. Maybe we would have gone out sooner.'

'But you did seem familiar when I first saw you, but I didn't know.'

'Me too, but I shrugged it off. I figured that I would fully remember someone as rude as you.'

'Ha ha.'

'Was your mother here?'

'Hai.'

'So then she's why we're together again.'

'I guess so,' replied Syaoran.

Silence.

'How do we get out of—'

Before Sakura could finish, however, everything vanished.

"Challenges and forgotten memories will challenge you this night…be strong, and hold on to your love, and everything will be all right." Said an unknown voice.

End flashback

Both snapped up as soon as they awoke. Only a few minutes had gone by, yet it should have taken at least a half hour.

They both sat down just when the server came in.

"Here you are. Enjoy your night."

"Arigatou," said Syaoran.

"Man, they sure have fast service here." Commented Sakura.

Sakura and Syaoran had finished their meal and dancing. Syaoran left a tip and took the bill before Sakura could see it. Obviously, he knew her well.

"Hey!"

"Don't hey me, com one!" he grabbed her hand and led her to the clerk. He paid the bill and continued to lead her outside. The chauffeur was waiting and opened the door and went to the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove off.

In the back of the limo, Sakura was resting her head on Syaoran's lap.

"Where are we going next?"

"The fair, to have some fun."

"Uh-oh—but what if you explode?"

"Why?" he asked, suspicious.

"Well, you're you, and you don't usually have time for fun! So with all the fun we're going to have…"

"You're funny," he kissed her, "remind me to laugh later."

"We're here, Master Li."

"Thank you."

Sakura grabbed Syaoran's hand and led the way.

About a half and hour had passed, and to Sakura if felt as if nothing could ruin her high spirits. That, of course, was stupid.

"Why, hello, my love."

Sakura and Syaoran turned around.

(A/n: FORGIVE ME! begs forgiveness I have to do this! dodges rotten veggies)

"Takashi." That's all Sakura had time to say before Takashi fired at Syaoran. He flew back several feet, unconscious.

"Syaoran!" she was about to run over to him, but she was wrapped up in vines.

"Let me go!" she screamed and kicked and trashed. Then, realizing she was getting nowhere stopped moving completely, thinking of a plan. It came to her quickly. Gathering all her magic, she concentrated. She turned her magic into electricity, and then shot it towards Takashi. He was knocked out, and Sakura was set free.

Sakura quickly forgot about Takashi, just went towards Syaoran. He didn't wake up, but Takashi did.

"Lothor won't like this," was all he said before he vanished.

"Syaoran wake up! Please, be all right! Come on—get up!"

Just then, Syaoran started to stir. His eyes opened and focused.

"Arigatou Kami-sama! Daijobu desu ka?"

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Sakura froze with shock, and she could feel the tears start to swarm her eyes. "Y-you don't know who I am?"

"Iie. I'm not on another date, am I? Why are you talking in Japanese?"

'He really doesn't' t remember me.'

(A/n: My writing style has changed a bit. I rarely use … to show where my chara are or what time it is, and I never switch POV anymore. I stick to one POV throughout the story now. However, this was written, like, 2 years ago, so my old style is still incorporated. So now we'll be a switchin to Syao's POV)

I opened my eyes and there was this girl in front of me. She was beautiful, I gave her that, but I'd never seen her. Apparently, I'm supposed to know her, but probably just 'cause she's vain. Then I heard a voice in my head. It sounded like hers.

'He really doesn't remember me.' The voice sounded sad. 'Don't cry, don't cry—call Yelan! Yes, that's it! But don't cry, no…don't cry!'

To be honest, I was REALLY freaked out. I knew it was her voice, but she wasn't moving her lips. And I had no idea how I had gotten to where I was. Besides that, I had a killer headache.

She took a deep breath. "I-I'm going to call your mother." She picked up her cell phone and dialed it. I could hear the conversation in my head, strangely enough.

"Moshi moshi, Li residence."

"Moshi moshi—it's Sakura." She really sounded sad.

"Sakura, are a you all right? Is Syaoran?"

"I'm okay. Syaoran is too, I guess." Syaoran! Why was she calling me by our first names?

"You guess?" my mother was very anxious, I could tell.

"He doesn't remember me. He remembers everything except when he came here, it seems."

"I'm sorry, Sakura."

"……."

"Are you going home now?"

"Yeah. Should I explain about Lothor and everything again?"

"I would—about Takashi, too. He needs to know."

"Okay. Bye…"

"Good bye, Mistress."

My mother called somebody else Mistress! What was up with that.

End Syao POV

Sakura hung up the phone and looked into his face. He was scowling, so she flinched a bit.

"Lothor, Takashi?"

"Lothor is an ugly, very evil demon after hearts--more importantly, the purest human one available. You think it's mine. Takashi is an evil sorcerer. He's the one who did this to you—made you forget."

"Pure heart, eh?" he said coldly. "Now, why am I here near you?"

Sakura had to close her eyes for a moment before she could speak. "Allow me to introduce myself—again. I'm Kinomoto sakura. I'm the Mistress of the Star Cards—they used to be the Clow Cards—and the youngest Charmed One. Your mother sent you here for you wife. Coincidentally it's when Lothor decided to come here."

"What did that Takashi jerk do to me and why am I here with you?"

"He made you forget the past week or whatever. And as for why you're here with me…it doesn't matter—not anymore." She looked up at him and gave him her best smile. "Come on, you're Kaa-san's expecting us back soon. Let's find your driver."

Syaoran was taken aback. 'She smiled.'

"It's what some people do—smile, I mean."

"You can hear me?" he asked. He didn't like it.

"Hai!"

"Well…stay out!"

"Gomen nasai, but I can't! I learned how to block you out of my mind, but I guess you didn't want to block me out of yours! Or maybe you've just forgotten how. That's another possibility. Oh look! There's your driver!" Sakura grabbed his arm and led the way.

When they reached the limo, he jerked his hand away. Sakura giggled, and Syaoran thought she was just a wee bit weird. Her face turned into a pout.

'I'm not weird—you are! Kitto!'

"Master Li, how was your date?' asked the chauffer.

Syaoran saw a look of fear, shock, and sadness cross Sakura's face. But she climbed into the limo appearing to be happy.

"Something happened." He whispered.

The ride home was uneventful Sakura tried to look as genki as she usually was, but Syaoran could see right through her act. He didn't know much about her, and he didn't like her very much, but he knew that something had happened to make her unhappy, and he felt that it was somehow his fault and his responsibility to fix it—that was something he didn't like: guilt. He tried to erase the guilt, but it was still there, as real as his heartbeat.

When they pulled up in front of the Manor, Sakura quickly got out of the car and went to the front door. Not knowing what else to do, Syaoran followed her. Sakura fumbled for the key for a second or so, and then succeeded in unlocking the door. She stepped through the doorway, closed the door when Syaoran had entered, and led the way into the living room. Yelan had explained everything to everyone, and they all—even Kero and Touya—had sympathetic looks on their faces.

"I'm gonna go change." Sakura said and headed upstairs. She really didn't feel like dealing with they questions or their pity. All she wanted was time alone to freely cry all she wanted for the love she had lost. Syaoran was back to his old self, and Sakura didn't know if she could take it again. It was one thing to deal with his coldness when all he was was a possible friend, but it was another thing entirely when he was the guy you loved.

She sighed and started to change. Crying would have to come later; they would get worried if she stayed upstairs too long.

"You don't remember anything, Oto-to?"

"Iie." He glared at everybody. "Is this some kind of setup? Making me think that I lost my memory, so I'd get married?"

"No, Xiao Lang. Just take a look at Sakura and tell me you don't feel something." She paused, and then continued. "Tell me you don't want to wipe the sadness away and protect her. That you wouldn't risk your life for her, shield her with yourself." She paused again and looked directly at him. "Because you can't live without her. She is as precious to you as oxygen, and you need her close by. Whenever she smiles at you, you feel special as well as something else. And you need that feeling." She ended.

Syaoran was silent, thinking. She was wrong. His mother was wrong. He didn't feel anything of the stuff she said he did for that girl. If he did, he definitely would have remembered it. There was no doubt in his mind about that.

Just then, Sakura came down in her pajamas. "So, what are we talking about?" she asked, giving Syaoran a smile.

Syaoran had to try hard to keep his cool. Some of those things his mother had said, he was actually feeling. Something deep inside yearned for her. But he wouldn't allow it, the closed himself off from her.

Yelan smiled a little bit. She knew what he was thinking.

"I don't." he said.

"Don't what?" Sakura was curious.

"Noneya."

"None who?"

He looked directly at Sakura. He looked at her hard. And she stared directly back at him.

"None whooooooo?" she asked again.

"Noneya. None of your business."

A flicker of hurt crossed through her eyes. "Oh." It vanished.

Lang barked.

"Of course, we should probably explain everything. First let me introduce everybody. This is Fujitaka, my father and the half reincarnation of Clow; Eriol is the other half of Clow; Touya is my brother and he has a little magic, but basically he can only see g-h-o-s-t-s; Tomoyo is my eldest sister and one of the Charmed Ones; Rika is my other older sister and another Charmed One; Yukito—you'll see him as Yue, also—is the guardian of the moon; Kero—aka Cerberus—is the guardian of the sun; Leon is our whitelighter; there's Lang guardian of the Star (I created him); and me. Charmed one and Mistress of the Sakura Star Cards."

"She's being modest!" shouted Fuutie.

"But that is our Sakura-chan!" supplied Sheifa.

"Do you think somebody else should do her introduction?" asked Fanren.

"I do, but who?"

So they spent quite a waste of time just arguing about themselves about who was best to give Sakura's intro. After a millennia, it was decided that Tomoyo should do it.

She cleared her throat and began. "This is Sakura, the youngest Kinomoto. I can still remember her in her diapers and her out fit and sooo kawaii! And don't think automatically that because she's the youngest, she's the weakest. You'd be terribly mistaken. She's the most powerful Kinomoto (though she wont' admit it) as well as being a Charmed One. And she's definitely the most powerful mage! Being in the magic business for 6 years, she has tons of experience, and it is thanks to her that Lothor is gonna get kicked, washed, hung out to dry, and killed! After he's chopped up into the itsiest pieces ever, of course!"

"Arigatou, Tomoyo. Now on to other matters. Lothor, a totally gross and evil demon, is after hearts. They don't' keep him alive, but give him power. WE have a potion to protect every good person's heart, but that's taking time. We need your help."

"You forgot the part about where he thinks your heart is the one he needs to have endless power, Sakura."

"Yep! And how you're supposed to be Syaoran's girl--"

"Sheifa!" Most of the room exclaimed.

Syaoran started at Sakura. 'Girlfriend? Were they going to say girlfriend?'

Sakura was staring down at her feet, and looking very uncomfortable. She needed a way to get of the situation she was in.

"Lang? You have to go outside? Oh, okay, let's go."

Lang got the idea. "Woof!" he barked, saying to his mistress 'Can we talk a walk?'

She nodded.

The two quickly went out the door. Apparently, Sakura forgot she was in her PJ's. (A/n: Actually, the forgetful person was I, but I don't mind!)

"She can understand him?" Syaoran asked.

"She created him, didn't she, brat?" Kero questioned.

"Apparently, Lang really had to go." Yue stated actually being humorous. Everybody except Syaoran laughed.

'Mother was right. But how and why? Sakura did look hurt, but so has every girl that I've ever turned down.'

(A/n: Okay, in this section, Lang is actually barking. But I'm assuming you guys didn't go to Rehann's Acadamy of Dogian, so I'm going to have the translations down, okay?)

"How are you?" asked Lang as they strolled along.

Sakura just shrugged. "I'm figuring that, if he fell in love with me once, he can do it again. I just have to try to be myself and then maybe…well, I suppose I shouldn't give me hopes up."

"I like him. After a while, he treated you like a human being. From what I've heard, and the little I've seen, not many guys treated you that way. You know, like you have feelings."

"Iie. Let's go to Starlight Rock, okay?"

"Sure. You were supposed to be there anyways. I wonder if the meteor shower's still going on."

Sakura giggled. "We can't tell from here?"

"With all the light pollution it's ha—" Lang saw Sakura's confused expression and changed gears. "Just cooperate, Mistress."

"Okay."

As they walked along, Lang's tail wagged furiously. He looked like a very excited puppy. Something was definitely going on in that head of his. Let's take a look, shall we?

'This will be great! Li will look for Sakura and he'll see her and the stars and remember her and they'll be together! Mistress deserves this, and I'm the one who will help her get it! Faster than a speeding Frisbee, it's up to Suuuuuper Lang!'

But not everything can go as planned. Following Sakura and Lang was none other than—you guessed it—Lothor. He smiled evilly, so sure that this was the night he would become all-powerful.

When they reached Starlight Rock, Sakura sat on the edge. As she did, she had a vision.

She was lying on the edge of Starlight Rock with Lothor over her. Lang was lying to her left, unable to get up. Lothor's square opened, and the teeth came out. They stole Sakura's heart, and she was dead.

"Lang, get over here," she whispered.

He quickly obeyed.

Sakura grabbed a Card from her pocket. 'Shield—release!'

Sensing its Mistress's urgency, The Shield released instantly and made an unusually strong shield. It, of course, was using a lot of magic and concentration, so Sakura was, for the most part, immobilized.

"Mistress, release your aura!"

"My aura? Dousta?"

"Just do it, onegai."

"Right." She did as requested, hoping Lang had a plan.

At the Halliwell Manor, Syaoran was sitting at the dining room, waiting for Sakura. He didn't really want to, but his mother told him, so he obeyed. He was concentrating hard, and it showed in his face.

'I wouldn't ever get a girlfriend. I don't love. Love is a weakness. But if that's try, why do I feel so weird around her? Nothing makes sense anymore. I don't see how things could get any worse, either.'

But they could. At that moment, a desperate feeling surrounded him. It wasn't his own, he knew. Something inside told him it was somebody he really cared about. But who could that be?

He knew. He didn't know how he knew, but he did know. It was Sakura.

"Does Sakura have a pink aura?" he got a yes from everybody. "Than she's in trouble." He stated simply.

"Lothor!" Everybody exclaimed.

Leon orbed out with Syaoran, Tomoyo, Rika, Eriol, Kero, and Yue." Everybody else was left to worry about Sakura.

Sakura looked up to the faces of those she cared about most. She understood what Lang's plan had been. Her aura had attracted somebody's attention, and they'd come for her. This was a good thing, too. Lothor was putting everything he had up against Sakura, and she didn't know if she could hold on much longer. She wasn't at her strongest because she wasn't at her happiest.

"Sakura!" Rika exclaimed.

That got Lothor's attention. Angry at the intrusion, he fired an energy ball at them. They dodged it.

Claws, apparently, weren't his only weapons.

"Oh." Sakura moaned. She had fallen unconscious, but, luckily, the shield was still up.

"Sakura!"

Feeling like he should and needed to do something, Syaoran brought out his sword and an ofuda (A/n: Dunno if that's right…I'll check later, hope you'll forgive me) and called upon the God of fire. Lothor was hit by the attack and flew against the shield. He was electrocuted, burned, frozen, and poisoned by it, and in turn, collapsed.

Leon orbed inside the shield, and took Sakura and Lang with him when he left. Of course, Lothor wasn't very happy about being attacked like that, and he let it show. He put his hands together and created a fairly large energy ball. Strangely enough, it was changing colors. From yellow to red to blue to purple, it was scary; they weren't supposed to do that. He released it, and it hit Syaoran. He flew back and collided into everyone.

With an evil cackle, Lothor shimmered out.

They went to see if Syaoran was okay, and Leon went to heal him, but couldn't. Syaoran was died. Had died instantly.

"I can't heal the dead." Leon whispered mournfully.

"Sakura can." Yelan had appeared. "Her love is strong enough that she can give my son his life back."

"But Sakura's too weak!" objected Yue.

"Iie, I can do it—I have to do it!" Sakura has woken up and—tears streaming down her face—went to her love. " I have to. For me, Yelan, for him…for the world. I can do it, I just need to concentrate." She rose slowly and scooted over to Syaoran. "Right, I can do this." She raised her hands over him and slowly he healed. Just as Syaoran opened his eyes, Sakura collapsed on him. He grunted in response.

(A/N: sigh Once again, I've written it so that I've switched POV's, once again to Syao's… okay, here it goes):

I opened my eyes and she was there, again. Only this time she was on top of me, and the position she was in didn't look that comfortable. Then I realized another thing was different: Mother and the freaks were surrounding us.

I sat up and looked at them. "What?" I asked. Yue got up and lifted Sakura off me. He put his finger on her wrist to check her pulse.

"She's alive, but injured. Li's injuries must have been given to Sakura instead."

"What happened to her?" I asked, although it wasn't like I cared…much.

Yue looked at me, and his eyes were accusing. "Leon couldn't heal you, so Sakura thought she could. She could have died."

"Enough. Leon, do you think you can heal Sakura? She's not dead." Tomoyo said.

"Right."

He held his hands over Sakura's wounds, and it looked like his hands were glowing. Then, the blood soaking her clothes disappeared and soon after, her injuries.

As he was doing this, and unusual promise I made to her: 'You're going to be all right. I'll protect you and kicked this Lothor's butt.'

I thought I'd been knocked out too many times.

Normal POV

Sakura opened her eyes and slowly sat up. Yue picked her up in his arms and covered her with his wings.

Everybody went to his or her homes.

At the Li house, Yelan decided to tell the Elders the news.

"What's the new? Is anything wrong?"

"I'm afraid so. Syaoran was attacked and lost some of his memory. The only memories lost were the ones before I told him he was going t Japan."

"Is there anyway for his memory to be restored?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe not. Maybe Sakura'll have to start over. But he was attacked again today. Only Sakura could heal him. So maybe she'll spark flashbacks of some sort."

Yelan was indeed right. When Sakura healed him, she'd put a part of herself with him, and that part was activating lost memories.

It started out with Syaoran comforting Sakura. Although this time, Yelan could be clearly seen. Next was the image of Sakura comforting Syaoran. And yet again, Yelan was watching. The picture seemed to be clearer, then if focused on little Syaoran's sad face. Then it switched to the last visit. Little Syaoran and Sakura's ad faces, seeing big Sakura, seeing Yelan yet again, and his conversation with the Older Sakura. Afterwards, it was a mix of scenes, none of which were very long. First when Sakura crashed, then when he found out whom she was. Next was when the demons attacked on and on until it started to show when Sakura was confessing. Then an evil thing came and stopped the flashbacks. It didn't was Syaoran to remember.

Sakura had called her mother forward. Nadeshiko had her arms wrapped around Sakura, who was crying.

"It's going to be all right, Sakura. If you two were really meant to be, he'll remember, or at least fall in love with you all over again." She said comfortingly.

"You really think so, Kaa-san?"

"Hai, I'm sure of it." Nadeshiko helped Sakura stand up. "Love is extremely strong, if it is true. It is the greatest power, so believe in it." She led Sakura to her bed and tucked her in. "Right, Sakura?"

Sakura smiled weakly. "Right."

"I suggest being yourself. It should work."

"Arigatou."

"Oyasumi nasai."

"Night."

Nadeshiko left.

"Lang, you can come in now."

Lang opened the door, entered, closed it, and then leapt on Sakura's bed. Sakura closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
