Here it is!

Fallen Angel!

"Wh...where am I?"

"In a dream dear."

Sakura quickly turned around in the white nothingness. "Mother?"

"Darling it's wonderful to see you." Nadeshiko smiled softly. "Come here, my child give me a hug."

Sakura returned the smile and slowly walked up to her once reaching her Nadeshiko pulled Sakura into a warm embrace. They stood there for a while taking it all in but the sad thing was there really was nothing there.

"Darling I'm so proud of you." Nadeshiko said quietly.

"Mom, I don't think I can do this... I'm dying...my friends might be dying. Eriol's dying!"

Nadeshiko pulled back from the hug a little and looked down at her daughter. "Honey you can't give up now...You're the worlds only hope–"

"Syaoran is...not me." Sakura whispered.

"Do you think that boy is going to manage without you?" Nadeshiko gave a graceful laugh. "I think not."

"Oh yes he can mother... He's a lot stronger then me..he's..better."

"No on is better then anyone else, Sakura... You should know that and you also should know that I'm a wise mother too. You be there for Syaoran...and Tomoyo and Eriol and everyone else, you be there for your brother alright. We all need you to be strong."

"But mom..."

"But nothing dear...You wake up and tell everyone that you all need to continue this mission and that you are going to shine and you are going to stop worrying because your friends are safe and the darkness cant get to them...And you hurry because there is no time to waste."

Sakura looked up at her mother with a thankful smile. "You sure?"

"Of course I am, I'm an angel."

"And my friends your sure they are all right?"

"Yes."

Sakura took a sigh and looked down at her feet. "Alright..."

"Now what's wrong dear?" Nadeshiko asked. "This is suppose to be a happy time."

"Well...Am I going to die?...What's happening to me? I thought..." Sakura trailed off. "I thought I had gotten rid of the darkness."

"You did."Nadeshiko answered. "At least for the time being."

"Then what's wrong with me?" She looked up at her mother with wet eyes.

"Dear...Do you not realize that you are performing and very big spell?" Nadeshiko tucked one of Sakura's strands of hair behind her air. "Not only that but you are under a lot of stress.. Your confused..."

"That cant be it..." Sakura said in a whisper. "That's to little."

"Incorrect my dear... That is a great deal... especially the stress part..." Nadeshiko smiled. "Your going to be alright...Alright?"

Sakura was still just so confused but none the less she answered. "Alright."

"Good, now you also make sure that, that Syaoran boy better not move too fast because me and your father are always watching and I can get talking to Touya in dreams any time I want to."

Sakura looked up with a red face. "What?"

"Good bye my darling."

Sakura's Room in the Inn.

Sakura eyes shot up with a shock. She looked around her surroundings, expecting to see her room but saw nothing but a bunch of faces peering down at her. That's when her eyes locked on to Syaoran and her face immediately went red.

She heard shouts of her name and many questions shot at her but she seemed to tune them out. Her eyes were still locked on Syaorans. It took a while but soon everyone had shut up and were looking at the two.

Those amber eyes, those handsome amber eyes held pain and fatigue. He was worried everyone knew. And those Emerald eyes...those bright emerald eyes held question and fear.

Kero grew impatient with the silence. "This is not the time Kid."

Ignoring Kero, Sayoran said. "We can't have you going out anymore." Then turning around making his way toward the door.

Meiling gasped. Ruin the moment why don't you.

Sakura shot up with a gasp and a glare and just like that she was on her feet. Attention flew toward her making sure she to steadily stood.

"You listen her Syaoran!" Sakura exclaimed like no other.

But Syaoran didn't turn around just continued on his way toward the door.

Sakura couldn't believe what a jerk! She ran up and caught up with him before he could leave the door making sure he had eye contact with her.

"Sakura." Syaoran said in the rude voice of his. "No...we have risked your life so many times... You are going to stay in bed and do nothing you here me! What happens when this happens again, huh? Is it going to be your life next time! I can't afford you dying right now... This is my chance to be the leader of the Li clan and the only way to do that is to do my mission and keep you alive!"

"Your mission Sayoran!" Sakura yelled back at him. "I think not! This is our mission...Everyone's mission alright? Your mission is to keep everyone alive, and I am not going to live sitting around and doing nothing...Not only that but I cant to what I'm supposed to do when I'm doing nothing!"

"It'll happen again!"

"No it wont!"

"How do you know?"

"Because!"

Syaoran laughed as if it was a joke. "Because isn't good enough...You know...I'm only keeping you alive because I have to not because I want too, please...don't make this even more difficult."

Sakura taking aback...She looked up at him with her eyes tearing up. He hates me... she thought. There was a long silence but finally Sakura broke it. "Wow... Syaoran," She looked away from him. "I should have expected this, because I was warned...I never gave up on you, never until now. I thought you were different. I thought...I thought there was more to this rude, cold-hearted boy that cared about no one but him self! And I was wrong! Where ever I go... Everyone just seems to give up on you! Meiling, Lien, Xiefa, your mother...The Elders... and now me. Me! Who is supposed to be carefree and fun loving...Someone like me gave up on your Syaoran...Now that's got to mean something."

Syaoran stood there speechless. He now was taken aback. He couldn't speak...so like often he just ran away from the problem. He turned and left outside the door.

Everyone looked bewildered at the girl but Sakura had not time to stand around. She pulled off her neckless that held a key on it. Transformed the key and yelled. "Fine, Leave Syaoran! I think I'll do the same thing!"

Sayoran had gotten inside his room by now but he still heard and he still could feel Sakura's aura and she was leaving...Leaving with her magic. Immediately he opened his door and ran to Sakura's but Sakura was already at her balcony by then.

"FLY..." She whispered and she was off.

"Sakura!" Kero, Meiling and Xiefa yelled at once.

"She wont get far..." Lien said softly. "Her aura is weak."

"Well we best meet her when she crash lands don't you think?" Xiefa asked why looking at Syaoran.

"No.." Eriol said which raised many eyebrows. "Let Sayoran go, only him."

"Oh no he wont! Look what you have done with my mistress...Making her so sad like that... Who do you think you–" Kero was cut off and thrown across the room by Syaoran.

"I'll be back in a few hours."

He left the room with out another word. Nobody knew what to think or do your say except Meiling he left the room after him.

"Sayoran" she said clearly, noticing he was walking to his room. He didn't answer, he knew what was coming he just entered the room with Meiling fallowing.

"You know your not going to be back in a few hours." Meiling said softly why leaning on the wall.

He just looked up moment then looked down why starting to pack his belongings.

"Your not coming back to the Inn, Syaoran."

"I think I know that."

"Then why didn't you tell them."

"Because they would try and stop me.."

"Sayoran–"

"No, Meiling, don't finished." He looked back at her and surprisingly walked over to her. "I need to ask you a favor."

Meiling paused not sure if she wanted to do what he was about to propose. "What is it?"

"I need you too...Take charge I'm going to be gone finding Sakura and I know where she's going and I need you to fallow."

"Where is she going?"

"She's going home."

"You mean Japan?"

"No I mean her actually home... Her kingdom."

Meiling mouth opened widely. "The darkness will find her there for sure, Sayoran..." She trailed off looking in to his eyes. "Its risking all of our lives"

"Meiling I need you to keep everything under control...Leave the Inn tomorrow, at night and...be safe." Sayoran gave a hopeful smile but it soon faded. "If something happens to me... take control."

"Sayoran–"

"I'm sorry Meiling..."

Tears swelled up in those tough eyes of hers. Meiling and Sayoran looked at each other for a long moment then Meiling wiped away the tears. "Be safe..." She whispered the standing on her tippy-toes she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

A Small Hotel, Japan.

"We're staying here for the night?" Rika asked as they entered the small strange looking hotel.

"We are." Elder Tu said matter-of-factly..

Tomoyo walked in the hotel with red eyes and shaking hands with Touya's strong comforting hand on her shoulder, Naoko still had that scared and confused look still not quite sure why she had to leave her home, Chiharu had her hands laced with Takashi's who was trying to comfort his wife. And there was also another set of people who where unknown to Sakura's closest friend, Tomoyo supposed they were servants of Sakura that Sakura had became friends with. Some one who wasn't there that Sakura knew well was, Yukito but this didn't surprise Tomoyo, he had been missing for quite some time.

The hotel provided many rooms but everyone had to share. The elders and Touya however were not staying over night at the hotel and never mentioned where they were off to.

Before leaving the Elders strictly suggested that everyone stays in the hotel, tell morning and there would be a shield over the hotel for the night but Tomoyo still had questions.

"Isn't Sakura coming to Japan anyway?" She asked softly.

"Correct." Elder Bao said.

"Isn't she in danger...and everyone else who is joining her on the mission?"

"Correct." he repeated.

"I should be there with her...As a friend. I want to help."

"Tomoyo..." Touya shook his head. "Its too dangerous."

"Please let me stay here in Japan." Tomoyo begged..

Touya was sorry for the girl but it was this is what was best for everyone. "Sakura would want you safe Tomoyo...Not risking her life."

Tomoyo didn't speak another word of it. She couldn't...wouldn't...This is hard for her. Instead she just smiled weakly. "Well good night, Touya..." She then bowed. "Elders." her smile was only a disguise and everyone knew it. She turned around and left toward the hotel room that she shared with Rika and Naoko (Chiharu sharing her own room with Takashi.) Rika, Naoko, Chiharu and Takashi fallowed her into the room deciding it would be good to comfort.

When entering the room Tomoyo fell on to the closest bed then hiding her head in her pillow. Everyone else sat down on the same bed and looked down at their poor friend.

"Hey...It'll be okay." Naoko smiled weakly.

"Sakura will be fine." Rika added.

"Yeah, you know–" Naoko was cut off.

"That's not just it guys!" Tomoyo cried under her pillow.

They sat silent for a moment then Chiharu mouthed to the girls. 'Eriol.'

"Oh...Well he'll be fine too–"

"No he wont!" she pouted. "He's dying...I can feel it... and his life is on the line!"

Another long silence.

"Well I can tell a stor–"

"We're fine." Chiharu looked up at her husband shaking her head.

He frowned and said nothing more.

"I can tell a story!" Naoko said quietly thinking of some good scary sorts of stories.

"Hey, at least my stories are interesting." Takashi said. "All you have to say is negative."

Naoko looked offended. "Hey, at least I don't lie 24-7!"

"Hey!" Rika said breaking up the fight that had a possibility of starting. "Fighting solves nothing and its not the time."

Naoko made a face but said nothing more.

This time another long silence came between the five of them nothing was heard but of Tomoyo's quiet tears. Chiharu sighed softly and bent down to hug her friend. She was fallowed by Naoko and Rika then Takashi, who was feeling awkward but none the less he gave a big hug too.

"Thanks guys." They heard Tomoyo sniff why coming out from under the pillow and turning her body to look at her friends.

"Alright well...I think we should go to bed... be have a long and boring ride tomorrow." Chiharu said.

"Yeah..." Tomoyo agreed.

Takashi and Chiharu stood up then saying then goodnights and leaving out the door.

Somewhere in a forest, China

Thunder rocked across the skies, and the hard rain pained Sakura's skin. She was cloak helped was wasn't too helpfull.

She flew down deep in the forest dodging trees and lessening her chance of being a target the lightning. Her silver dressed waved across the wind with eh rain making it shine more. Salty tears damped her face more and slashes of cuts weakened her grip on the flying wand. She was determined to make it through the night. This was the hardest battle yet, she had to keep on going or she could die and she couldn't give up now.

Time went by, hours it seemed, she knew the direction of Japan and that's were she was headed. If I can only make it to the castle... I can live and continue my journey. But It was much harder then that and she knew it. She knew she was being fallowed by Sayoran and perhaps he was catching up but she could feel his aura. She always could. She didn't want to talk to him he would just make her go back...punish her more. It was unfair! He was unfair...the way he treated her.

I'll show him... Sakura thought. I can be just as good as you. Here rage raised. "Damn you Sayoran!" she yelled aloud more tears falling. "Damn you..." he grip was loosening and she was starting to lose control of FLY. She couldn't take it any longer...

I'm going to die either way... Sakura thought, lost of hope. She started to fall and sooner or later she was falling. She lost most of her conscious ten feet down but she was caught. Thankfully...but should she be so thankful? Before she fell in total slumber she felt forthe aura. This man had no aura... Her eyes weakly opened and saw a bright, blinding light. This man isn't Sayoran...

Not long later.

It seemed Sakura had only been asleep for ten minutes and when she woke up she was expecting to see Syaoran's face but she didn't she was in the dark. Slowly and weakly she sat herself up still wondering why Syaoran hadn't found her yet...Did something happen to him? She thought which only made her feel worse. But then she remembered why and felt slightly better.

It wasn't long later when she had found to be in a cave. How did I get here...She looked around her night vision coming back to her. Where is my key...She search the rock floor then feeling a chain she pick it up and gave a sigh of relief. It was there. Slowly she stood up and started making her way out of the darkness but she didn't get far.

"Now where do you think your going?" Again she thought this was Sayoran and jumped out of her skin then turning around to see a black figure. It wasn't Syaoran it was worse. The man walked out of the darkness. He looked scary...like a bum. Like he hadn't eaten for days.

Sakura backed away when he came closer. "Wh- Who are you?" She asked holding her key tight in her hands.

"Someone who finds you awfully pretty." His voice was scratchy and horse.

She started walked faster back words but tumbled over to a rock. He was catching up. She struggled to move away then trying to transform her key but he got to her first. She screamed loudly when he was on top of her. Trying to rip her dress. He managed to start a tare but she moved to rapidly and only ripped off a sleeve.

Sakura struggled trying to get her hands out of his grip but he was to strong her.

"Come one, It wont hurt."

"GET OFF ME!" she screamed and struggled harder. At least her fast movement was good for something, he couldn't seem to get a hold of her. That's when one hand let go of hers. She thought this was her chance but the hand came back to threaten her, this time with a knife.

"You see this!" the man yelled why putting the point next to her throat. "I'll kill yah! You know I will" Sakura stopped moving right there and then. But her hand was still free... She panicked and thought quickly. Then her hand rapidly moved toward his eyes. She scratched them...hurt him...any way she could. What ever she could do would help.

The man yelled and let go of her other hand...still having the knife in hand. She tried to grab the knife and did but he was too quick, he tried to take it back but it slipped out of her hand then cutting her shoulder deeply. He tried to reach the knife but Sakura had sucker-punched him before he could get there.

He fell backwards in pain. That was her chance. She ran. But this man was quite tough and managed to stand up and chase her.

Why running she transformed her wand and scream "FLY!"

The man stopped dead in his tracks amazed by what he saw... This girl was flying.

Another destination in the Forest.

Syaoran had finally found her. He could feel her aura...Only thirty yards away. But she wasn't flying...Good for Syaoran but that must mean she had not energy left use magic. Sakura had been casually running...Just to get to the place she wanted to but once she felt Sayoran she ran hard and fast. Her aura panicking, knowing that he would catch up with her. She ran hard and Syaoran being on a horse could see her with in seconds.

Sakura didn't even try to use magic which confused Syaoran. Is she that weak Sayoran thought worriedly.

Once side by side with the girl Syaoran jumped off his horse and grabbed her arm.

She was crying and panicking but something was wrong. She had all the same features of Sakura but this was not Sakura.

"Dammit!" He yelled at MIRROR.

"I'm sorry!" She cried. "Sakura commanded me to do it!" She now fell onto her knees. "She's Dying...I can feel it and she's wounded...Something just terrible happened to her! You cant feel her because sh blocked her aura I went on the longer path to Japan because She knew you thought she'd be foolish and not know the way... I'm...I'm so sorry.."

Syaoran winced. "Don't cry, just tell help me find Sakura."

"If she keeps going the rate she is...She might just barely hit China but I'm afraid she wont make it that fall... She could die to night and in weather like this there's a bigger chance...You have to hurry... Her blocked aura should fade soon she can hold on for long."

Syaoran took a deep breath. Sakura, I'll kill myself if I find you...find you dead. He couldn't think about the thought. It was too painful. Instead he looked at the girl. "You cant change back into the card without Sakura can you?

MIRROR shock her head.

"Alright well..." Syaoran walked over to his house and brought her over to the girl. He got on to the horse then putting a hand out for the girl to pull her self up. She did so and then wrapping her arms tightly around Syaoran's waist. She had never rode a horse before...

"Hold on tight." Syaoran said and just like that they were off with a flash...

And another destination in the forest.

"Just a little longer..." Sakura told her self aloud taking deep breaths in the process as she rode still rapidly on her wand. The rain had seemed to die down along with her energy. He hands were shaking and she was freezing every where. "I need..." it hurt to spoke I need warmth.. She thought instead. To bad it even hurt to think. I just...I need to...to sleep. The fire inside her determined soul was dying and everything else about her with it. I'm going to die... there's no use... That's when her eyes saw the light. The light of hope. It was beautiful. I small cottage could be seen in the distance. It was as if she could already feel its heat. Her heart beat rapidly as she struggled to keep a hold of her wand. She was coming closer and closer...feeling that warmth..She could almost taste it. But...It was too late. She fell.

With a crash and a gasp of pain Sakura hit the ground hard. This time there was no shining man to save her. A scream was heard but no...not come Sakura.

"Mommy!" a innocent voice cried. "Mommy, come quick..mommy, mommy! I just found a fallen angel! She just fell! From the sky! Oh mommy! Those stupid gods made her mortal, she's bleeding mommy!"

I think the ending was my favorite part! so cute!...did you not just love it?
