He heard laughter. He hadn't heard this sparkling laugh in a long time. He also heard the happy reunion of all of them at once. This wasn't going well at all. He should have been able to destroy her. This was going to be a lot harder than he'd thought.

"I worked hard to get it to where she wouldn't laugh at anything, even her friends," the voice muttered darkly. His mistress wasn't going to be happy about this.

Chapter 11

The world seemed to turn black all around Sakura.

"Hello, Cardmistress." The cynical voice seemed to come from all around the room.

"Where am I?" Sakura asked.

"You're in my world now," the voice said to her.

Sakura began to reach for her Star Key, only to find that it wasn't there. "Where is my necklace?"

She felt like she was turning around trying to find where the voice was located.

"Oh, any magical items that you have don't enter the realm. The only magic that enters is mine." His laugh was evil and sounded like it echoed through the entire place.

The laugh sent shivers through her spine. "What am I doing here?"

"Oh, nothing at all," he said just before she began to make out the images of her friends.

"Leave them out of this!" Sakura shouted.

"I can't. They're your weakness," he said as her friends fully appeared. When they fully appeared she felt like she was entrapped in some kind of force field.

"What are you going to do to them?!"

"You'll see." The black world all around her seemed to grow colder. "I'm going to bring in one more person before I wake them all up."

Fu-tse began to appear next to Yukito. That was when Sakura tried to move around in her unseen prison. "Why bring her into this?"

"She's your guardian's wife and she will be having your godchild." While he said this she could feel her apprehension raise just a touch more. What was worse: she couldn't move.

Everyone woke up about the same time. Yukito looked around. "What's going on?" He asked at the same time as Tomoyo.

"Sakura-chan, what's going on?" Tomoyo looked all around her.

A lightning bolt headed toward Tomoyo.

"No!" Sakura yelled.

Tomoyo could hear the scream and tried to freeze it before it got to her. She was surprised that she couldn't.

"Daidouji-san!" Eriol tried to get to her but found that he couldn't move.

Sakura felt a small burn where the bolt had hit Tomoyo. It surprised her. 'What's going on?'

"Did you feel that sting?" The voice commented. "Your friend is stronger than she looks. Oh, well; here's Touya."

"What are you going to do?" she asked.

"Oh, not a thing."

"Kaijuu?" Touya turned to see his sister fading away. "Sakura!"

She could hear him calling frantically in her direction. Sakura could feel her brother's fear and dread when he thought she was no longer there.

"Touya, I'm right here," she tried to say to comfort him. When that didn't work she was hoping that the little magic that her brother had would allow her to connect with him mentally. "Touya, don't worry; I'm right here!"

It appeared to work.

"Well, I see that you connected with him telepathically. That won't be happening again." He said some kind of incantation in order to keep her from using her mental powers. "Now that that is taken care of; let me see what else I can torment you with."

Li was waiting to pull out his ofuda. When he couldn't find them he knew that they were in trouble. "Why are you doing this to us?"

"Careful, Li. She might find out that you're in love with her."

The man snickered at the glare he was given.

"I don't care if she does! You're hurting her and us!" Li was still glaring. "Sakura don't listen to this man. You can fight him!"

"You mean that you don't care that she can feel everything that you're feeling. That includes pain." He chuckled before setting the Li boy on fire.

Sakura was going crazy. The man was right; she felt everything her friends felt.

"Why can I feel everything that they are going through?" She asked. She could feel her knees weaken after the fire had engulfed Li. She was determined that she was going to remain standing. 'I have to keep standing so that I can find a way to fight this thing.'

Sakura suddenly felt her body spinning around uncontrollably. She could hear Touya, Yukito, Shaoran, and Tomoyo yelling. It was hurting her head. Meiling was shocked at what was going on. While she was spinning she could feel the stinging burn of ice on a fiery body. It made her sting even more because she had air hitting her, coming from all directions. Li had been put on ice.

"Shaoran!" she screamed as she came to a stop. Now she could barely stand. There seemed to be something whispering in the air telling her that everything would be alright that she could do this.

-Yukito-

Yukito stood by his wife protectively but was torn between trying to go to his mistress or to protect his wife. He had tried to transform to Yue but found he couldn't. He had now way of helping her. His mistress wasn't do so well.

"Yue, it won't do you any good to try to protect either one of them, because.."

The evil man hadn't even finished the sentence before he held something small in the palm of his hands.

Fu-tse screamed as she felt the life of her baby being taken out of her. That was almost all that Sakura could take, but again she was determined that she was going to stand the voice out. She couldn't stop the tears that came down her face as she felt the pain that Fuutie was going through.

"Why?! You evil." Sakura began to say. Her pink bubble of protection was starting to show up around her and neither of them saw it.

"Ah, be nice, now; you wouldn't want this tiny little being to know that its godmother could say such naughty words. It can understand everything that is happening right now."

"I can do a lot worse than that! Give her back that baby!" As each of her friends went down on their knees she could feel herself fighting more and more to stand on her feet. Herr aura was a little stronger now but that was soon going to change.

Yukito was trying to comfort his wife while Sakura really tried to get through to her that everything would be alright. He did try to transform to Yue and found that he couldn't.

Sakura thought of something. It seemed that her trying to remain standing was hurting her friends even more than is she were to look like she was giving up. Her friends could see that she was on her knees and were beginning to panic. "No Sakura don't give up!" She heard them saying through the echoing air all around them.

Even though Li was frozen, she could still feel all of his anger toward whomever it was that was trying to hurt all of them. Sakura was shivering all over as well as burning.

Meiling was shouting now. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"I'm having lots of fun with the Cardmistress. She looks like she's going through hell right now."

Meiling turned to see Sakura and he was right. Sakura was black and blue all over as well as pale and burned in several places. Her eyes held all the pain that she was going through.

"Sakura, it's going to be alright," Meiling found herself promising.

"Don't promise that, Meiling-chan. You won't be able to keep that one," Sakura warned.

Meiling tried to go into a defensive karate stance but found that she was now frozen in place. "I can't move!"

"That's right; this is my world, and I can allow whatever I want to happen." He sent a wave of water mixed with fire, knocking Meiling out.

"Meiling!" Sakura screamed; her knees gave out. Somehow, she pushed herself back up.

"Oh, stop your crying, woman!" He ordered Fu-tse. "You won't be getting your child back any time soon while you're here."

Fu-tse did stop crying when he said that.

"Oh, yes, I will!" She began to try to run for the voice that seemed to be all over the place. "You know I can locate you right?"

She ran right into a wall that knocked her out.

"Fuutie!" Yukito yelled as he tried to get to his wife. He couldn't get to her but could see that she was bleeding.

Sakura wanted to scream when she felt Fu-tse hit the wall and barely managed to hold it in. Her aura was slowly diminishing.

Touya looked toward his sister, finally able to see her.

"How dare you do this to her?! Hasn't she suffered enough?!" he cried out.

"Be careful, or your little 'kaijuu' just might turn into one."

Sakura was too weak to even give a protest to that remark. 'I'm on my knees and yet he still keeps on! What does he want with me and everyone else!

"You will never be able to do that. This may be your world but even you have limits!" Touya yelled.

"Well, let me see." He shot a lightning bolt toward the still-frozen Shaoran.

The ice block that he had turned into shattered into a thousand little pieces. Sakura screamed in pain as she felt her world around her start to fade. Her aura completely disappeared.

Touya went nuts when he saw his sister fading. She was fading faster and faster.

"See what I mean? I can get away with almost anything in my world."

Eriol had stopped moving. He had stopped doing anything at all. He seemed to be standing still as if he was trying to find something. He had to try to do something but wghat he didn't know because he couldn't even move and she was beyond thinking clearly at the look in her face. She was in far too much pain. "Come on Sakura you can fight this!"

"Ah, will you look at the pretty Tomoyo. I wonder what would happen if I were to take her hands away, and her legs?"

Tomoyo screamed as she fell in the place where her feet had been.

"Having fun yet, Sakura?" the voice asked. She could see the glow of red eyes beginning to appear all over the room.

Sakura was on the ground, fighting her way back up. All she noticed was that her friend was down. She noticed that Eriol had lost his concentration when Tomoyo went down. "Tomoyo-chan!"

"My goodness; it looks like you won't have to worry about her making you clothes now, will you?" the voice continued to taunt. That was just before she felt Eriol completely torn apart limb from limb.

Yukito looked at his mistress and saw that she had enough. He also knew that she wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. "Don't worry, Sakura. You can defeat this guy. He is feeding you all of the."

"Shut up, you fool!" Something came out of nowhere knocking out the guardian. It also remained unseen.

"Yukito-san!" Her screams could be heard as blood ran down her face. She had fallen backwards from the impact of whatever it was that had hit her in the face.

Touya stopped running around like a crazy man when he heard her screams echoing throughout the entire place.

"Sakura! I can barely see you," Touya called out to his sister.

There was another maniacal laugh that could be heard echoing through the entire place. The laugh came out as a screech to Touya, causing him to fall to his knees.

"No!" She couldn't see her brother anymore.

"Aww now it's time." The thing said all around her. Sakura had tears coming down her face from the pain and all the emotions that were flying all around her. She couldn't even hold her head up hardly. She had no energy left to fight him. "Kill me if you must but leave them out of this." She whispered.

He sent a lightning bolt her direction.... - - - It's been a couple of chapters since I was able to leave you with a good cliffhanger. I hope that you won't kill me.
