War With Fate
Chapter 10 – Fate Vs. Will
Little Wolf the male Dark One
Cherry Blossom the female Dark One
"How can this be? You…you're me! And you're Syaoran!" Sakura exclaimed as she saw the two figures in front of her.
"Haha, you see we have gained more powers during the last few years, and we have gained the power to take the form of anybody we want. We chose to be you and Syaoran. Because your worst enemy is yourself." Cherry Blossom said.
"Try attacking us, it would be no use. Better yet, why don't you attack her first Cherry Blossom?" Little Wolf said.
Cherry Blossom called out the Firey card. It was the same as Sakura's, but it carried a dark aura. Her Firey went straight for Sakura. Quickly, Sakura took out her Watery card, hoping to stop it, but it wasn't strong enough and Firey burned a bit of her clothes.
"Oh, we forgot to tell you. Since I'm you, I can use the Clow Cards through your powers. Obviously, they aren't the real Clow Cards, they're merely a replica. But through my powers, they are a lot stronger than yours." Cherry Blossom stated.
"I will never let you take my clow cards, never!" Sakura said angrily.
"Well, I don't really think you have much choice, after all, your fate was to die today." Cherry Blossom stated.
Just then, Syaoran ran into the gym from the other side. He wasn't surprised by the Dark Ones being himself and Sakura because he had already figured it out.
"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled trying to run to her. But half way down the gym, there was an invisible barrier, stopping him from getting near her.
"No point Syaoran, you won't be able to get pass this barrier. And she can't hear you either, so why don't you sit back and enjoy the show? Because it'll be your turn soon." Little Wolf said.
"Leave…Sakura…alone!" Syaoran yelled angrily.
"Haha, have you forgotten that we can't? It's predetermined already. No matter what you do now, she'll die, and so will you. Except we wanted to make you suffer, so you'll have to watch her die." Little wolf said.
Syaoran tried to tackle the barrier, but nothing worked.
By now, Cherry Blossom held the replica of the Sword card in her hand. Sakura had the real Sword card in hers.
Cherry Blossom charged at Sakura, and Sakura tried to block her but Cherry Blossom's sword was too powerful, and it cut Sakura's sword in half. Then, she swung her sword at Sakura, Sakura tried to dodge but she still got a cut on her waist.
Sakura, bent down on the floor in pain while blood was flowing out of her body. At this rate, she will die because she had lost too much blood.
"Just give up already Sakura; it's no use to fight against me. Give me your cards, and I'll let you die less painfully. Or else, this would have to go on. And I'm afraid, it'll be very painful. You might not be able to see him, but Syaoran's on the other side of the gym watching you die." Cherry Blossom said.
There was the invisible barrier, so Sakura couldn't see Syaoran, but she could feel his aura.
Syaoran, I know you're here. I can feel your aura. I'll fight until the end, and won't disappoint you. Sakura thought to herself.
"Watch this!" Cherry Blossom said as she commanded the replica of the Windy to blow Sakura away. The Windy was so strong that it knocked Sakura against the wall.
"Bang!" was heard throughout the gym as Sakura was thrown against the wall and fell unconscious on the floor.
"I'm sorry to say, but I have to end your life." Cherry Blossom walked over to Sakura, with the sword in her hand. She placed it over Sakura, ready to stab her to death.
"SAKURA!" Syaoran yelled from the other side, but it was no use, Sakura was unconscious and he could only watch helplessly.
"Good bye, Sakura. It was nice knowing you." Cherry Blossom said as she brought down her sword and pierced Sakura's heart.
At that moment, time seemed to have stop. Syaoran watched as Cherry Blossom stabbed Sakura.
"Nooo! Sakura, wake up!" Syaoran yelled. He was so angry that his entire aura came out of his body and broke the barrier.
He ran towards Sakura who was covered in blood. He felt for her pulse, but it was no longer there.
"Sakura, please. Don't die; you promised you won't leave me." Syaoran sobbed. "How dare you kill Sakura, I will make you suffer so much that you would beg ME for forgiveness." Syaoran yelled.
"My, my, we underestimated you once again. You broke through our barrier, but what good can you do now? Sakura's already dead, and you can't bring her back to life." Little wolf said.
"You're wrong, even if Sakura is dead; her spirit is still with me. Her staff hasn't changed back into the key yet, which means she had meant for me to use it. And I will." Syaoran took the staff from Sakura's hand and for a strange reason, his green aura surrounded her staff and a blinding light filled the gym as his sword and the staff combined into one staff.
"I will make you two pay for what you have done to us. Even if I do die, I will kill you first!" Without warning, Syaoran charged at Cherry Blossom with his staff. At first, Cherry Blossom tried to block it away with the sword card, but the staff was too powerful and it made cuts on her arms.
"If my sister can't fight you, I will! After all, I'm you!" Little Wolf said.
"You're wrong, I'm NOTHING like you!" Syaoran swung his staff at him, which he quickly dodged.
Since he was a replica of Syaoran, he had all his martial arts skills. This was an intense battle between the two because they were really similar. However, at the very moment, it was really hard to tell who was stronger, because Syaoran had Sakura's power with him. When he was less cautious, Syaoran made a cut in Little Wolf's arm and he dropped his sword.
Both the Dark Ones were bruised and cut. They couldn't believe it, Syaoran had beaten them!
"Kill us then Syaoran, for we accept defeat." the Dark Ones braced themselves for his strike.
Syaoran had to admit, he wanted to kill them at the very moment. However, he knew that Sakura wouldn't have wanted that. So he decided to help purify them.
He brought up his staff and a bright light surrounded the two. Slowly, the two Dark Ones returned to their original form and the dark aura was gone. They vanished into thin air, back to where they belong.
After that, the staff and the sword separated and it turned back into a key. Rushing to Sakura's side, Syaoran whispered to her, "Sakura, I didn't kill them. I made them good again, and now they went back to where they belong. Please, wake up. You promised you will never leave me; you're such a liar you know. We conquered fate, but why did you still die?" Syaoran said and a tear fell onto Sakura.
As he was crying, he didn't notice that the Hope card had flown out of the pile. It gently wrapped its arms around the two and everything went black.
Somewhere Else
Sakura fluttered her eyes, and heard voices around her. Am I in heaven? All I remembered was being stabbed. I must be in heaven because I died.
"Let's check her temperature." a voice said and she felt a warm hand on her forehead.
"She's fine now, her temperature has gone down. I wonder when she'll wake up." The voice said.
Sakura opened her eyes and found herself in a really big room. It looked familiar to her but at the very moment, she couldn't recognize it. I guess this must be what heaven looks like. Wow, I got such a big room to myself.
"She's awake! She's awake! Oh Sakura, you don't know how worried we were!" Tomoyo gave her friend a big hug.
"Tomoyo? What are you doing here? You died too?" Sakura asked.
"Died? What are you talking about? You're at my house right now. We don't really know what happened, but according to Yue and Kero, they found Syaoran and you lying on the floor of the gym." Tomoyo replied.
"But…didn't I die?" Sakura asked.
"No, because when we found you, you were only unconscious." Tomoyo gave Sakura another hug.
She looked around her. All her friends who knew about magic were there. They were all smiling happily at her because they were really relieved that she didn't die. As she looked, she realized that someone was missing; Syaoran.
"Where's Syaoran?" Sakura asked.
"He…he's in the next room. He was unconscious too." Meirin added.
"I have to go see him, please let me go." Sakura pleaded.
Their friends led her to Syaoran's room. When she walked in, she found Syaoran lying in bed. Their friends decided to leave them alone for a while.
"Syaoran…you brought me back to life didn't you? You must have used a lot of magic. Please wake up; I have so much to say to you." A tear slid down Sakura's face.
Then a hand gently touched her face, "Sakura, you know how I much I hate seeing you cry."
"Syaoran! You woke up! Thank goodness, I was so worried about you." Sakura gave him a hug.
"You know, I'm not too sure about what happened, but I just remembered seeing an angel or someone wrapping her arms around us." Syaoran said.
"It doesn't matter now, I'm glad that we're both okay. We conquered the fate, didn't' we? Now we have nothing to worry about!" Sakura smiled happily at him.
"You're right; our will has finally beaten the fate." Syaoran smiled back.
Their friends were eavesdropping outside and were touched by their conversation. Even though no one knew exactly what happened, it was still a happy ending. Once again it proves to us, we always have control over our lives and no one can control it but us.
1 month later
"Whoosh!" a soccer ball was kicked high into the air by Syaoran and he passed it to Eron.
With a swift kick, Eron kicked it straight into the goal.
"Beeeppp!" a whistle was blown, signalling another end of a game.
"Good job Eron! Nice goal!" Syaoran said, giving Eron a high five.
"Not bad yourself, nice pass!" Eron returned the high five.
"Look at those two; they're like best friends now!" Sakura exclaimed watching them. After the battle, things were finally cleared up about Eron and Jane. They were actually only guardians sent to protect Syaoran and her. They didn't want them to know because it might cause interference with their mission.
"Just like us right?" Tomoyo said.
"Best friends forever." Sakura and Tomoyo giggled.
"What are you two giggling about?" Syaoran asked.
"Nothing, it's a secret." Sakura said. "Good job Syaoran! You too Eron!" She gave Syaoran a hug.
Eron and Syaoran no longer fought over Sakura because Eron finally gave in. He knew that Syaoran and Sakura were perfect for each other and he didn't want to cause trouble for them.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Meirin yelled running towards them, followed by Chiharu, Takashi, Rika and Eriol.
"We were just talking about the soccer game." Tomoyo said.
"Hey, I have this great idea for summer. Since we're all done our exams and today's the last day of school. Why don't we go on a summer vacation?" Eriol suggested.
"Ya! That sounds so much fun!" Sakura said.
"Where should we go though?" Syaoran asked.
"Why don't we go to Australia? The beaches are awesome! And there's so much to see!" Tomoyo said.
Everyone agreed.
A week later
"It's time to eat everyone!" Touya yelled as he finished barbequing.
"I still don't understand why you had to come along Touya." Sakura said, glaring at her brother.
"Well, I got Dad's permission to watch over you and make sure the brat doesn't get close to you." Touya glared at Syaoran.
"I'm old enough to take care of myself, and Syaoran's not a brat, he's my boyfriend!" Sakura yelled.
"Still a brat to me." Touya shrugged and walked away.
They all lived at a mansion that Tomoyo had rented for them. It was really huge, and everyone had a room to themselves. They even have an outdoor pool and an indoor pool. They have a beach right beside them and a gigantic porch to overlook it.
That night, everyone was either swimming, or playing cards. Sakura and Syaoran snuck outside before Touya had caught them. They wanted to take a walk along the beach.
"It's so calm and peaceful now isn't it Syaoran?" Sakura asked, leaning against Syaoran.
"Ya, it is. I'm glad things are finally over. We can finally be together without any danger." Syaoran said smiling at her.
Slowly, they pulled into a kiss and this time there were no one there to interrupt them.
