Full Summary: Sakura was your average well-loved girl that was graduating from medical school that year, and was she happy about it. She only had a year more of the torture of exams and waking up early in the mornings until she would finally be able to do what she really wanted – practice as a psychologist. But now that the exams for her third year had finally finished, she expected nothing out of the ordinary to happen to her. Just having her best friend/cousin move out of the apartment the two shared and attending her and her other best friend's wedding. Oh! And sharing the apartment with a new roommate, one of her cousin's fiancée's friends. A man named Li Syaoran. But who would have known this single man would turn her world upside down… along with all the expectations everyone had for her. Including her own.

Love Over Lust?
Chapter Fourteen
Written by: SweetBabyGurl
"Tomoyo! Are you okay?" The words left Eriol's mouth the moment he saw her lying there on the couch. He immediately grabbed her wrist when she didn't respond and let out a sigh of relief. "She has a strong pulse. She's probably just knocked out."
"She doesn't seem to have any injuries either, so it looks like she's fine," Syaoran assured.
"Alright, good. Now as for Tai, let's bury him," Eriol told Syaoran hurriedly.
"Forget Tai! We need to find Sakura!" Syaoran scolded.
"We need to clean up your mess first," Eriol shot at him.
"Alright, alright. Let's hurry up and do this then," Syaoran sighed as he begrudgingly trudged over to Tai's bloody body, Eriol trialing not too far behind him.
Five hours later, Eriol and Syaoran sat in the same place they were being held hostage pondering on what to do.
"Couldn't Sakura just use the move card to come back here?" Syaoran asked.
"In order to do that, she needs to know where she is. Otherwise she might end up in limbo. And the last thing we want is a dead Sakura," Eriol told him sourly.
"Then how are we supposed to get her back here?" Syaoran asked, agitated.
"What do you think I've been sitting here trying to figure out!" Eriol snapped.
"I'm going for a walk. I need to clear my head," Syaoran grumbled, not wanting to get into another fight with Eriol. They already argued enough when burying that thing people called Tai.
"You do that," Eriol grumbled back, massaging his temples.
Sakura
"Where the hell am I?" A feminine voice muttered as she rubbed her sore behind.
"I'm sorry mistress; he used one of the hexes. So I took you to the safest plane that I could think of in a moment's time," The Move Card told Sakura solemnly.
"Okay, sorry? Another plane?" Sakura questioned.
"Yes, that's where you wanted to send Tai. And since his hex reversed the effect you were supposed to be sent to the worst plane also known as hell, but I was able to cange the direction in time," The Move Card explained.
"So if we're in the opposite direction of hell, that means," Sakura mused aloud, "that means we're in heaven!"
"Well… kind of. We're half-way there, so we're kind of in limbo right now," The Move Card elaborated.
"WAIT A MINUTE! DOES THAT MEAN I'M DEAD!" Sakura screeched.
"No, no! I can get you back to the Earth plane mistress! I promise!" The Move Card assured.
"Alright, and how exactly do you plan on doing that?" Sakura sighed sitting down on a fluffy piece of air that existed in limbo.
"Well, I've kind of got to take about a week to recharge," The Move Card began at which Sakura interjected with a loud screech, "OR you could call upon all your inner powers and get home within a few hours."
"Hmm, let's stick with plan b," Sakura told the magical nymph almost immediately as she crossed her legs and began to focus all of her energies through the process of meditation.
Syaoran's POV
I walked down the street not exactly sure of what I wanted anymore. Did I wanted to think about her and how soft her skin was and how to get her home? Or did I want to get her off of my mind completely? I never had troubles finding solutions and making decisions. So why is it that when this mere girl comes into my life everything changes? Why is it that I want to bring her the world? And since when have I become so frickin sappy? Bring her the world? Psh, honestly Syaoran. Grow up. Well at least I'm with her right now. The fact is that I love her and she loves me, so nothing else really matters. And Lord knows mother and my sisters will go absolutely crazy over her, if not try to kill her by hugging a pinching her so much. I allowed myself to crack a small smile at that thought. No matter how much of a pain in the ass they are, I don't know what I'd ever do without those sisters of mine. I'd NEVER tell them that though. They'd never let me live it down.
It was too bad we couldn't just get a bunch of Sakura's belongings and have summoning — I stopped dead in my tracks before turning on my heel and running back to the house.
Bingo.
Normal POV
"Eriol! Eriol! Eriol damn it I know what Tai was trying to do while we were knocked out!" Syaoran screamed like a madman while he ran into the house searching high and low for his "cousin". He searched through all the rooms in the house before he came before the one Tomoyo was currently resting in and to say the least, he wasn't surprised to find him in there making out with Tomoyo since she was freshly awaken.
"Syaoran, don't you know how to knock!" Eriol hissed, his usual pale complexion a bright tomato red.
"Well in case you haven't noticed, I've been calling out for you for the past five minutes! Now back to the kitchen, I know what Tai was trying to do!" Syaoran exclaimed, grabbing Eriol's hand and dragging him down the stairs. "Oh, and nice to have you back with us Tomoyo, I hope you're alright," he stopped at the door to say to his new acquaintance before proceeding to drag Eriol.
Sakura
"Alright, I'm ready to go," Sakura told her cards that were in their true form before her. They were Fiery, Windy, Earthy, Watery, Light, Dark, Shield and Move.
"It would be unwise to travel now. You've been meditating for only three hours," The Light advised.
"Only three hours, you say that as if it's not a long period of time," Sakura told her cards gently, though she was beginning to get quite annoyed. She wanted to get home.
"Sit mistress. Just recharge and focus your energies for a few moments more," The Light requested. With a grumble, Sakura fell to the floor and continued meditation.
Syaoran & Eriol
"Yes, that would make perfect sense! Eureka Syaoran! You're good for something after all!" Eriol cried, eyes wide as he stood before the pot and the pen and paper Tai had previously written on.
"It looks like this stuff is ready to test out. Let's get my girlfriend back here," Syaoran told Eriol quickly as they made a set up of the Sakura's insignia with power rocks and began to chant.
"Powers of darkness and light
We call upon you
And ask of thee to bring to us
The ruler of the stars
By contract is name Kinomoto Sakura
Bring her to us"
They chanted the words Tai had written together and opened their eyes, eager for a result.
Sakura
"Damn it, let me go home! I can rest when I — AH," Sakura began but was cut off when she felt a strong force drag her and her cards from the plane/
