Hello everyone, I'm here with another chapter of Hero and Heroine. Sorry about the lack of update, but I'm getting tired of saying sorry all the time, so I'm going to try and update more often so I wouldn't have to say sorry. Anyway, I should stop thinking of more things to say and start the story
Disclaimer: I do not own CCS but will like to. Maybe I would be able to buy it off of ebay like those people brought the name of the fleet center.
Hero and Heroine:
Chapter Fourteen
Syaoran was pinned up against a tree trying to fight off the green tentacle like arm that was around his neck.
"Get off me you bastard!"
At that moment Darco let go of him and turned around.
"I guess all I had to do was ask." Syaoran was rubbing his neck and he didn't even notice that Darco was going after someone else.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Syaoran stopped rubbing his neck and instantly looked up. "I know that voice."
He was trying to find her but it was too dark. Plus it was hard to see anything with that big monstrosity in your way.
"Cherry Blossom!"
"Wolf, help!"
Syaoran finally spotted her flying in the sky. Not knowing what else to do he pulled out his sword and ran head on into Darco.
Darco turned around and waved his hand in Syaoran's direction exerting a long string of lightening from his hand and straight to Syaoran.
"Watch out!" Sakura was watching everything from the sky and saw the danger Wolf was in. She tried flying down before the wave hit him but she was too late. By the time she got to his side he had already been hit and was lying on the ground motionless.
She kneeled down beside him and started to check to see if he was still alive. She put her ear by his mouth.
"He's still breathing, now all I have to do is get him out of here."
"Good luck with that wrench."
Sakura turned to the dark cold huge figure that was behind her. Her facial expression had hardened, and the only visible emotion on her face was hatred.
"I don't know who you are or where you came from, but I swear to God that I will rid this planet of you."
Darco started to chuckle. "That's a pretty big promise coming from a little girl."
Sakura's eyes were beginning to turn bright pink again and her hair was swirling around her face.
"I told you I'm not a little girl."
She ran at him turning her staff into a sword without the use of the card. She cut off two of the tentacles before getting smashed into a tree by the third. She watched him regenerate the tentacles that she just cut off.
Darco looked at his new tentacles as if he was surprised to see them grow back. Then in the blink of an eye he was right in front of Sakura grabbing her with all eight of his gross slimy green tentacles, wrapping up her whole body only to leave her face exposed.
"You know I could just strangle you right now." With that said he squeezed the already tight hold on her making her scream out in pain.
Darco lessened the grip on Sakura letting her be relieved for just a moment. He brought her up to his face and whispered into her, "But if I cover your face, how will I see how pain you're going through?"
Then her slammed her up against the tree again and this time he also sent out a wave of electricity through his tentacles zapping her directly with no hope of her getting away.
Sakura could barely take all the pain. She was holding out for as long as possible, but little by little she was slipping away from this world, and one more shock from Darco will kill her.
"How many times do I have to explain to you little shits that no matter what you do, I will always be stronger?"
Then Darco felt immense pain going through his whole body.
"What the hell?" He turned around as his body started to glow a light green color. The pain was still going through he body, but he managed to keep a steady head long enough to see that it was Wolf who was inflecting the pain to him.
"What are you doing to me?"
Syaoran's eyes were a bright green and his body was surrounded with a dark, dark green, so dark that it could be mistaken for black.
"Let her go before I show you what real pain is."
Darco dropped Sakura on the ground and immediately flew up into the air and vanished.
Syaoran started to turn back into his normal self as he made his way towards Cherry Blossom.
She was lying on the ground not capable of moving herself. Syaoran kneeled next to her gently pulling her into a sitting position so that her back was resting against the tree. He reached out his hand to push aside the strands of hair in her face, but she pulled back with her eyes wide open in fear.
"Cherry Blossom, it's alright, I'm here now." He reached out again to touch her but she pulled back again with that same look of fear in her eyes.
"Cherry, it's me Wolf. Don't you remember me?" Syaoran was starting to get worried.
'I hope al those hits didn't affect her head. She has to remember me, she just has to.'
"Get away from me." Sakura started to back up, but couldn't get far since she was leaning up against a tree.
"Cherry, what's wrong? You know who I am. I'm Wolf, remember? I'm the one that has been helping you fight Darco, you even saved my life. Please, please remember me."
He started to lean in towards her but got pushed away. "I don't know who you are, but you are not Wolf. Wolf is a nice good-hearted soul that helps people. And you are not him."
Syaoran was starting to get aggravated. He grabbed her by the shoulders pinning her against the tree. He looked her straight in her eyes not loosing contact for a second.
"You are going to listen to everything I say and you are going to get it through your thick head that I am Sya-"
He stopped mid sentence realizing what he was about to say. He saw her eyes widen but not in fear, it looked more like shock. It was as if she knew what he was about to say without him finishing the rest of the word.
"What?"
Syaoran could see the look of shock and a little bit of happiness that was on her face.
'Why would she be happy?'
"What were you going to say?"
Syaoran had to come up with something fast. 'If she really is Sakura I could tell her who I am now and everything would be out in the open. But then again what if she never allows me to kiss her again? But if she is not Sakura and she is really is some stranger that I've never met, then that would mean that I would have to choose between the two girls.'
"Answer me before I hurt you."
Syaoran was snapped out of his little daydream when he saw the angry look on her face.
"Cherry, you know this is me, Wolf."
"As I told you the Wolf I know has a good soul, and the energy I felt from you was nowhere near good."
"Honestly, I am telling you the truth. I don't know where that power came from, it just happened. Of all people you should understand. You've been going through the same power changes too."
Syaoran slowly started to lean towards her.
"Yeah, well all my power changes have been helpful and good. How am I supposed to know that you won't turn your back on me and join with Darco? I'm not even sure if you really am Wolf at this point?"
"No matter what, good or evil, I will always protect you."
Then he pulled her close to him and gently yet eagerly kissed her lips. Sakura slightly parted her lips allowing Wolf to enter and explore her mouth. When they finally pulled apart they were both breathing heavy.
Sakura was leaning on the tree watching Wolf. She noticed how happy he had become from just that kiss, and she had to admit that she also felt the same inside.
'That is Wolf, I'd know that kiss anywhere, but what is causing all these changes in us? If I don't even have control over the good powers within me, how is he supposed to control the evil power that's inside of him?'
Instead of trying to make any sense out what just happened or worrying about what will happen, Sakura just sat there in the arms of Wolf in the late night as he rubbed the back of her neck.
It was very late in the nigh when Sakura returned home. She slowly opened the door and slowly shut it behind her without making one sound. She started to tip toe to her room when she heard someone clear their throat.
The living room was dark but she could still make out a figure sitting on the couch.
"Hello? Syaoran, is that you?"
She was waiting for a reply but the person said nothing. Instead the figure got up and made its way towards her.
'Please don't let this be Darco, please don't let it be him.' Sakura stood there waiting for the person or possibly monster to revel itself.
Finally she saw bright amber eyes coming closer and closer until she could see every inch of the person.
A little smile crept on her face. "Syaoran, why didn't you say anything when I called you?"
He still didn't answer her. Instead her grabbed her by the back of her neck and pulled her close to him.
Sakura stood there shocked. She's not used to him acting so weird.
"Syaoran what are you doing?"
He rubbed his right hand behind the back of her neck while he gazed deep into her eyes. A smile grew across his face as he leaned his forehead against hers, then he started to laugh like a crazy person.
Sakura pulled back with a confused look on her face. "Are you alright? You're not acting like your normal self."
"After everything you still don't think it's me."
"After what?"
"Nothing, just forget I said anything."
"No, come on, just tell me."
He leaned towards her and gave her a kiss on her forehead. "Good night, you should go et some sleep." Then he let go of her and went to his room locking the door behind him.
Sakura stood there shocked. After that little confusion with Wolf earlier and now the same confusion with Syaoran, she couldn't take any more confusion, so she decided to head to her room.
'If I didn't know better I would say by the way Syaoran was acting he was Wolf.' She smiled at the thought of them being the same person until she got to her door. She placed her hand on her doorknob and was about to turn it until she took a look at Syaoran's closed door.
'Syaoran could never be Wolf. Wolf actually likes being with me. He has spent hours by my side. Syaoran would never do that for me. He thinks I'm just some girl that's out to get him.'
She put her head down and entered her room. 'Too bad I'm already starting to fall for him.'
Meanwhile Syaoran was in his room with the hugest smile on his face. This had to be the happiest he has been since he moved to Japan. He was lying on his back holding his right hand in front of his face. He had mud on his hand, but it wasn't just any mud. It was the mud he put on the back of Cherry's neck while he was holding her earlier that night.
'So Sakura and Cherry are one in the same. I've should've known. They had the same qualities, and I would always mix the two of them up.'
He got up and went to wipe off the mud. He sat back on his bed looking at the door as if she would just pop in right now and tell him everything to this way they could be together.
'Wait, what if she doesn't want to be with me? It's more than obvious that she likes Wolf; I don't have to worry about that. But I don't think she likes me that way. What of she doesn't want to be with me? I don't want to lose the only woman I love.'
He laid down on the bed trying to think things through.
'I'm not going to tell her now. I'll wait until the time is right so this way she won't hate me.'
Now that Syaoran knew for sure that Sakura is Cherry Blossom, he had to start making a plan on how to get her to like not just Wolf, but also his true self. What he didn't know is that she had taken his plan one step further and instead of just liking Syaoran, she fell in love with him.
