Author's note: Okay, sorry everybody for not updating so soon. Anyway, on with the story!
Chapter 11: The big battle.
"What idea?" asked Sakura.
"Listen, well…um…I…"
"Well?"
"Um…I pretend that I'm still evil and that I caught you guys. Deal? Then I'll tell everyone that I caught you so they'll let me past. After, I will tell them to leave us alone with my old master so you can kill him."
Sakura shivered at the word 'kill.' "Not kill, Ausahima, we'll just trap him up."
Ausahima shrugged. "He'll get revenge if you don't kill him. He's really strong, you know."
Sakura sighed, and Cerberus growled. "Fine, we'll…kill him." She shuddered.
"Okay…my magic is fading away, but anyways…" she gestured with her hand, and suddenly, small ropes coiled around all of them. Ausahima took the end, and pretended to lead them.
"Your wings get rid of it!" she hissed.
"R-right," said Sakura, and the wings immediately disappeared.
"I'm bringing these prisoners to master," said Ausahima in a robotic voice. Talk about fake!
The guard nodded. At the last guard, Ausahima directed: "Leave this door. Make sure it is not protected. If you hear anything, pretend there really isn't. If master commands for you, DON'T come, and stay away from here until I tell you when you can come back. Clear?" The two of them nodded, and walked away. Ausahima breathed a sigh of relief.
"Time for the big battle," thought Sakura.
The door swung open and shut. Sakura looked around the room. It was tall, circular, and everything was made of metal.
"Ausahima, you are real, not evil," a voice said. And there he was. He was tall, had a dark face, small, red eyes, and wore a long, flowing cloak and carried a long, dark staff.
"No," insisted Ausahima. The ropes slowly disappeared. Sakura griped her wand, terrified but set. "But maybe… YES."
"Wind!" shouted Sakura, and a massive ball surrounded him. But it disappeared all the same. "Wood!" she tried again. Wood wrapped itself around his wrist and waist and feet. Sakura cried out with joy, but suddenly-
A figure leaped out and started snarling and attacking her to the floor-
She couldn't see anything, and Cerberus was busy fighting him-
She screamed, "HELP! CERBERUS!" but he couldn't, or else he would be killed by him in any second-
The figure continued snarling and it pinned her to the ground-
Cries rang through the vast room-
She saw a dark figure charging onto the other-
The weight lifted from her shoulders-
"Quick! Bind her with wood and take the chip off!"
Who's voice was it?
She was quick; she shouted, "Wood!" and suddenly, there was… silence.
The tall, figure was on the ground. So was Chi; her chip was on the floor, and blood, everywhere. Cerberus came over huffing and puffing.
"I-I killed him," he announced.
Sakura's eyes grew wide. "You didn't!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah," he said, grinning.
"Wow," she said. "Where's Ausahima?"
"Right here," Ausahima knelt on the floor next to Chi. Her eyes were wide and shiny.
"Is she…okay?"
"Yeah. She's just unconscious."
A bright light shone suddenly, and a woman wearing all white with long blond hair and a white staff stepped out and smiled.
"Finally, he is dead," she said in a soft gentle voice.
"Who're you?" demanded Ausahima.
"I was trapped by him. He used my powers," she explained. "Now that he's dead, you can go back to where you were before, Chi and Ausahima."
"R-really?"
"Yes," she answered.
Ausahima turned to Sakura and Cerberus. "I might not see you again," she said sadly. "I enjoyed talking to you. Bye-bye."
Sakura nodded, hugged her twice, and whispered, "I won't forget you."
Ausahima stepped back, smiled, and said, "I won't forget you either, Sakura-chan, Cerberus, and….Syaoran. Till we meet again." Carrying Chi in her arms, she waved with lots of effort, smiled again, grinned, and turned towards the lady.
"I'm ready," she announced.
The lady nodded, and a door appeared. She looked back at Sakura, smiled one last time, gave one last wave, and disappeared.
"Bye!" yelled Sakura. The lady looked at them, nodded, and disappeared herself.
"How're you, Syaoran?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Okay, let's go back."
Cerberus grinned. "You ready?" They both said, "Yea!" and clambered onto his back. The door burst open, and Cerberus took off.
The next chapter will be the last! Please review!
