Chapter 5: Sakura's new Enemies and their Minions
Lil LoveStar: OMG, I haven't updated really in a while, I'm very sorry guys, I still do have writers block but I am trying to fight it, by reading other stories and trying to take notes on my stories. Don't ask me why but reading and note taking help me out a bit.
Inuyasha: And you still won't get back to my story!
Kagome: You act as if she's not typing it at all, let her do her thing.
Lil LoveStar: Thanks Kagome.
The very next day Sakura and Syaoran couldn't help but glare and play, they glared at their new classmates, Meiling and Darius. And they of course kept playing with one another when Syaoran felt like bugging Sakura. Of course Kalvin, Eli and Madison noticed this playing routine throughout most of the day. To Kalvin and Eli it was a sign of a couple of things, one was a chance to see how time will play itself out this time, another was to make sure Syaoran wouldn't hurt Sakura, and the last was because of the simple fact that Yue wanted them to and they felt it was their duty to watch over the young angel. To Madison it seemed that Sakura liked Syaoran and she got to tape all of it. (AN: Except the wings on Syaoran and stuff) Yue was outraged that Sakura would not at least try to fight Syaoran and now Meiling and Darius were back. Meiling and Darius just kept to themselves and plotted against the Cherry Blossom and the Little Wolf. Otherwise everything was fine, no demons were really around everything was fine, for now anyway.
Sakura came home one afternoon to find Eli and Kalvin inside talking to her brother. "Hi guys." Sakura said cheerfully.
"Hi Sakura." Kalvin said happily. Eli didn't say anything and Tori looked at her with the 'you better start explaining' look.
"Answer me a question Sakura, when did you find it to be an ok idea to let demons like Dark Angels run around town?" Julian asked coming out of the shadows.
"What are you talking about? They haven't done anything." Sakura protested.
"That's what an angel said 50 years ago, she ended up being betrayed and was killed." Julian said turning into Yue.
"Syaoran isn't evil and we're keeping an eye on Meiling and Darius."
"Don't keep an eye on them, kill them and Syaoran too, I'm telling you this for your survival Sakura." Yue said disappearing.
"I don't believe him! And you agree with him?"
"We don't agree with everything he's saying. You can do whatever you wish Sakura, just be careful and use your instincts, don't rely on your heart." Eli said lifting his glasses and drinking some tea.
"You actually like that Dark Angel squirt?" Tori asked. Sakura frowned but didn't say anything.
"Don't take it the wrong way Sakura, we will support and help you no matter what you do, but you have to be on your guard and use your head." Kalvin said. Eli and he got up and let themselves out.
Meiling
"She's mad at them now." Meiling said watching what happened at Sakura's house with great amusement.
"She's becoming rebellious, just like 50 years ago." Darius said.
"Yeah and it will lead to her down fall again." Meiling laughed.
"No it won't." A figure said sitting in the shadows.
"Do you honestly believe that Xiaolang?" Darius asked.
"Don't call me that." Syaoran said coming out of the shadows.
"You really believe she's going to live through everything that will happen." Darius said looking at Sakura.
"Yes and she will prove to be even better than Ying Fa." Syaoran said.
"Ying Fa was weak and so is she, and I'll be the one to prove it and you're a fool for loving Ying Fa and liking this girl." Meiling said. Syaoran frowned but he would let Meiling do as she wished, Sakura would rise to the challenge either how and he would be there to watch and help if he has to.
"Test her if you feel you must Meiling, but she is the reincarnation of Ying Fa, the Angel of Life and she will beat you just she did 50 years ago." Syaoran said leaving.
"Arrogant bastard, when he's sealed again for another 50 years he won't be so happy." Darius said.
"He's not important, that girl is and I will teach her a lesion tonight."
Yue
Yue stood looking over the city as the sun began to set, Eli, Kalvin and Sakura would be out soon. He had hoped that Sakura had at least thought about what he said and that she needed to be prepared for anything. But she was getting older and she wanted to be normal but she would never say it because she knew she couldn't. Eli soon appeared and Kalvin did as well.
"You're here because you sense her." Eli said.
"I do, and she is going to challenge Sakura but Sakura may not be able to defeat her." Yue said.
"Meiling may be older than Sakura but Sakura has us to help her and Syaoran as well." Kalvin said.
"No, Sakura is fighting this on her own, remember this has happened before and Syaoran didn't help her, he watched her." Eli said. Kalvin's eyes widened remembering what happened but then he smiled. This would be interesting to see again and to see how it changes. Meiling soon appeared and she could see the three watching and Syaoran watching as well. Darius was next to Syaoran watching as well.
"COME OUT AND FIGHT ME AVALON!" Meiling yelled. A bright light appeared and it moved in front of Meiling. The light dimmed and Sakura came out of it, her wings closed. She opened them and opened her eyes and looked at Meiling. "You're on girlfriend." Meiling smirked and summoned her twin snakes, they were bright red and had black eyes and it looked like they were venomous.
"You know you should have listened to your little friends Angel, not everyone can be trusted and if you know your enemy..." She launched her snakes, "YOU SHOULD KILL THEM!" Sakura dodged to snakes but stayed looking at Meiling.
"You do have a point but I don't want to believe that every demon is my enemy because of what I am." She stood and spoke in a way that made everyone present stare at her. Syaoran was awestricken at Sakura, Yue was a little surprised but he did expect this, Eli and Kalvin were proud and Darius was hypnotized because Ying Fa was returning. Meiling noticed the change as well, but she didn't care, "DIE YING FA!" She yelled as she and her snakes attacked Sakura at the same time. Sakura didn't even budge but she did summon her wand and the Arrow Card, she shot both snakes away and she fought Meiling off.
Sakura's POV
I can't stand it, who is Ying Fa, I've heard it from Syaoran, and a few times from Eli and Kalvin, who in the world is this Ying Fa everyone is so fascinated with? But I was tired of thinking about that, now all that was on my mind was the fact that I wasn't really fighting Meiling, I was holding back a great deal. I knew how powerful I was but I never knew I could play around like this, but I might as well go along with it.
Normal POV
"Who ever said she needed training." Kalvin laughed watching Sakura. Eli smiled but Yue just stared on, the fight was very similar to the one 50 years ago but Sakura was different from Ying Fa, very different in fact but they were both beautiful and he loved them both.
Meiling
Meiling was outraged that this girl wasn't using her real strength against her, she was playing and it made Meiling mad, just like 50 years ago, it seemed all the same except for the person she was fighting. Unlike those stupid men she hated Ying Fa, and now this girl has stolen Syaoran's attention so she hated her as well. "Why do you look so upset Meiling?" Sakura asked with a smirk on. Meiling glared with now completely red eyes. Meiling punched Sakura in her face, making her fly back away from her.
"I hate you, that's what." Meiling said. Sakura turned, a little blood on her lips, she wiped it and waited for Meiling to try again. Meiling saw and she got even madder. She rushed toward her, trying to hit her physically and with magic and she said as she did it, "WHY DOES HE LIKE YOU MORE THAN ME, I'M BEAUTIFUL, YOUTHFUL, AND SMART! WHY DOES HE LIKE YOU?" Sakura understood who she meant but she continued to block and dodge her. Sakura soon backed off and said, "Why not ask him yourself, he will answer you." Meiling looked at Sakura then to Syaoran. Her eyes turned back to normal and she flew toward Syaoran. Sakura sighed and put away her Card and he wand and flew off toward Kalvin and Eli where she sat and watched.
"Amazing, how things change don't you agree Eli?" Kalvin asked looking at him. Eli pushed his glasses up and nodded.
"You're just too passive my dear." Eli said.
"Well I am an angel Eli, isn't the role of a holy creature." Sakura questioned still looking at the Dark Angels. Yue was frowning but he was watching all three of them.
Syaoran
Syaoran watched and listened as Meiling and Sakura fought and argued but when Sakura told Meiling to ask him he got upset. He saw Meiling fly toward him and he continued to look at Sakura with a look of wonder and question. "What do you see in her?" Meiling asked. Syaoran looked away from Sakura and looked Meiling in the eye; her eyes were like glass, only it looked like broken glass, shiny but dangerous.
"Something that I don't see in you Meiling." Syaoran answered. "You're beautiful, talented, wicked, you're sexy, you're a lot of things, but she's different, I see something different." Meiling backed away from him.
"You felt that way about that dead angel and now her. I hate you Li." She flew away from him, she looked at Sakura and noticed that she wasn't the same when she was fighting, now she was a little more normal. Sakura looked back at her but there was no expression on her face she was just looking. Meiling glared then left. Darius also left but not before giving Syaoran a cold stare.
Next Day
The very next day on her way to school Sakura was busy walking under a pair of headphones listening to "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West. A few pairs of eyes were on her, one was Yue, another was Syaoran and the last two were Darius and Meiling. And they were also watching each other as they were watching her.
"If I didn't know any better I'd say that they all are stalking her." Kalvin said looking at them all.
"You know how they all feel toward her so they naturally will follow her." Eli said. He looked to see Meiling summoning one of her many little demons and sent them after Sakura. Syaoran rushed out and stopped them before Sakura got hurt. But she did see him and the demon, taking her headphones off and turning around she saw everyone behind her.
"None of you have lives." Sakura said as she continued to walk on. Meiling had a face of pure rage, Darius was amazed that the new Ying Fa's spunk, Syaoran had an anime face on, Yue pouted and Eli and Kalvin just walked ahead to catch Sakura.
"Kind of amazing how you affected them by saying that." Eli smiled warmly.
"I was only joking, I saw them the whole time, but I didn't say anything." Sakura said. She turned to see them all gone; she had no choice but to giggle.
At school Sakura was getting the classroom ready and doing what she normally did since she was always early, when Madison and the other girls arrived she chatted with them. When she looked over and saw Syaoran sitting near the back not talking to anyone she grabbed him and pulled him toward the rest of the girls to talk before the teacher came in and their lessons started. The entire day before lunch was considered boring but as usual the angel named Sakura kept awake unlike the rest of her class.
At lunch Sakura sat with the girls, Eli and Kalvin. Syaoran, Darius and Meiling sat off from them. "I'm surprised you're not sitting with your little Angel Syaoran." Darius cooed. Meiling was eating so she didn't say anything. Syaoran on the other ignored him.
"The only reason I'm not over there is because her friends will cause a seen. The last thing I need." Syaoran said holding a soccer ball he got from the gym equipment. Meiling swallowed her food and Darius smirked with an unbelieving look. 'There's another reason isn't there, you don't want to flirt with her because of Meiling, am I right?' Darius asked telepathically. Syaoran didn't say or do anything he just looked at Sakura with a neutral look. He noticed everything about her, her smile, her laugh, the way she spoke to her friends, to Eli and Kalvin, he noticed it all and he found it to be amazing and captivating. She looked his way and smiled, he couldn't help but blush.
The end of lunch soon came and Sakura's class has gym. The gym teacher was a unique one; she had the girls play soccer, against the boys. Most of the students couldn't believe it, but they would do it, the teacher made Syaoran the captain of the boys' team and Sakura the captain of the girls. Sakura appointed Madison as the goalie since she wasn't one for that much running. Syaoran made a boy named Justin be the goalie. The game soon began and both the boys and girl were believe it or not evenly matched.
"I don't believe it, they're holding their own." Darius said to Syaoran as the girls formed a plan.
"With Sakura as captain, there's no doubt in anyone's mind." Eli said looking at him, a flash coming over his glasses. Darius gave Eli a look but it wasn't that serious and they waited for the girls. The play started and Rita was passing the ball to Chelsea then to a few other girls. It looked like one girl had it but then another had it in mere seconds.
"An illusion; very clever Sakura." Kalvin smiled as he and Syaoran ran to intercept them. Kalvin tired to steal the ball from a girl named Roxianne but she kicked the ball over his head and gave it to Sakura. Sakura smirked at Kalvin before running off with the ball. Syaoran and Darius were both on her tail but Meiling was behind Sakura and even if she didn't like Sakura she hated to lose a game even more. Sakura saw Meiling and gave it to her before Darius cut her off, he slid toward her right leg right after she kicked it to Meiling, causing her to fall on top of him and then roll right off. Meiling made the goal before the gym teacher blew the whistle.
"Sakura are you alright?" Madison asked with a worried face, all the girls and some of the boys stood around her. Sakura winced in pain as she showed her leg; there was a large gash on it from Darius trying to steal the ball.
"I didn't mean it coach." Darius said. "I'll take her to the nurse if you want." The gym teacher nodded and Syaoran and Darius lifted Sakura onto Darius' back. Syaoran was a little jealous that Darius got to take her and he was mad at him as well for hurting her.
"It's only a game Syaoran, and you know she'll just simply heal herself when no one's around." Eli said walking next to him. Meiling looked at Syaoran then to the retreating form of Darius and Sakura, maybe it was time to get even with that little angel; she ran off with an evil smile on.
Medical Ward
Darius jogged in with Sakura on his back and the nurse told him to lay her down and watch her until she got some antibiotics. "Why are you helping me?" Sakura asked Darius.
"To make Syaoran jealous." Darius laughed before he said. "No, I'm kidding, my real reason is because I cared about an angel like you at one time, she was beautiful, strong, and cunning. Everything you are and more, but sadly she was in love with another and I also hated her for it." Sakura looked at him in bewilderment, he, a dark angel in love with an angel. It seemed so romantic but it wasn't any of her business. The nurse soon came back but Darius didn't leave, he wanted to escort her back to class.
As they walked back to their PE class, which wasn't over Sakura felt a strange aura in the air. Out of no where a little demon slashed at her back, causing her wings to appear. She yelled in pain, causing Darius to turn to see Meiling, holding her little demon that attacked Sakura. "What the hell are you doing?" Darius asked glaring at Meiling.
"A little payback." Meiling stated throwing the demon at Sakura again. The Shield Card came and protected Sakura. Eli appeared as well as Kalvin, feeling Sakura's pain. Syaoran appeared as well, "Meiling have you lost your mind again? If we're caught you know what will happen."
"I doubt the little angel will let that happen, will you Sakura." Meiling smirked; looking at the injured Sakura. To answer her Sakura summoned the Time Card and stopped time. She healed herself and charged Meiling with full force, causing her to fall.
"Stop it both of you." Eli said with authority.
"No way, I'm going to kick her ass then I'll leave her alone." Sakura said as her and Meiling fought.
Lil LoveStar: And that's how it ends. Well at least that's how this chapter ends.
Sakura: Who won?
Lil LoveStar: That's for the audience to imagine, I'm not putting what happens in the next chapter.
Kalvin: Damn and it was getting good too.
Lil LoveStar: No worries, the next chapter will be better with some romance in store. Bye for now.
