Last time...
"Sakura!" Syaoran ran and reached his arms out to catch her. Kuro ran after him to see is Sakura was alright.
Syaoran had caught her just in time. She was unconscious.
"Well, she drained out her energy again. She'll have to sleep until her energy regenerates." The young magician explained softly. Kuro nodded and followed him to her room. 'We still have a lot of training to do if we want Sakura's magic to be stronger.' Syaoran thought.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Blank Eyes
By: Ame-chan
Syaoran had set Sakura down on her bed and left. Even though she didn't know how to use her magic, she was still pretty strong for a girl without experience. The tired young Wolf ran through his messy hair as he walked slowly down the stairs.
As the teen walked into the kitchen, he spotted his dark eyed friend chewing on a juicy apple. Syaoran walked past the black haired boy and made his way to the refrigerator. Pulling out one of the drawers, he pinked a nice ripe fruit for himself.
Making his way to the sink to wash it, he spoke. "Sakura's pretty impressive. Especially with her magic now." Syaoran commented, biting his sweet pear that was recently washed.
Kuro nodded, biting more of his apple. There was really nothing to do, except talk. 'Maybe I should study more about Sakura's magic and maybe I'll decipher something to remove the dark magic.' The determined boy thought, finishing his pear quickly.
"I'm going to the study to read more about Ying Fa's pendant." he murmured. Kuro threw the apple core away.
"Can I come?" he asked, washing his hands. Syaoran thought about it then sighed.
"I guess...just don't touch anything." was his reply as he walked out of the kitchen. Kuro smirked and followed him.
Tons and tons of hallways. Kuro was happy he didn't have to go and find his way through the mansion.
They continued to walk down the silent halls until they reached one of the many doors.
"Okay. This is the study. The same one that we were in the first day we arrived." Syaoran explained, turning the gold knob, making a clicking noise.
"Sure thing, Syao." Kuro replied. Syaoran glared at him.
"Don't EVER call me that." he warned. "I could use magic to shut you up, you know." Kuro started to feel afraid of Syaoran now that he had his magic with him. He put his hands up in defense.
"Okay. No more nicknames, I promise." Syaoran turned away and started to look through the shelves. After a few minutes, he found a good one and sat down to read.
Kuro on the other hand, walked around, looking at all the varieties of books and spells. He decided to pick one and read it. Opening the dusty red book, he read it. He scowled. 'Boring...' he thought, closing the book and putting it back.
Kuro peeped behind Syaoran, trying to see what he was reading. The pages showed a drawing of Sakura's pendant. But he couldn't read the little signs.
"What does it say Syaoran?" he asked curiously, trying to get a closer look.
"Yes. I was taught by Mother how to read these. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to learn magic." was the young boys answer as he skimmed the page with the drawing.
"Hmm...Nothing much about Ying Fa." he replied dryly, turning the thin, delicate pages, skimming each page quickly. Kuro sighed in boredom watching Syaoran skimming through pages and pages of gibberish.
"I found a description about her. Beautiful emerald eyes...rosy cheeks...auburn hair...seems a lot like Sakura." he replied, reading some more.
Kuro sighed. How bored he was. Then there was a soft thump.
"Sakura's probably awake now. We better go now." Syaoran sighed, closing his unfinished book.
SaKuRa
Sakura woke up and went out of bed with a thump of her feet. She was feeling much better. She ran quickly down the stair, looking for Syaoran for more magic practice. Not long after, Syaoran popped out of the hallway along with Kuro behind him.
"Syaoran can we train again please?" Sakura asked, hopping up to him, smiling one of her brightest smiles.
"Sure I guess..." Syaoran scratched his head. They headed outside this time...can't afford having more damage in the mansion.
"Okay Sakura. Try to shoot an arrow at that tree." the amber eyed boy instructed. Sakura nodded and concentrated.
'Center your magic. Don't use too much.' Sakura thought. SHe could feel the tingle in her body rush into her arm as pink sparks appeared around her fingers and then her bow appeared in her hand. She concentrated some more on her other hand and her arrow appeared.
"Feel the spirit of the tree in front of you to make a precise hit. Feel that one tree with your mind and try to strike it with your arrow." Syaoran replied, pointing at the tree. Sakura nodded and took aim.
'Fee; the life and spirit of the tree.' She thought to herself as she pulled the arrow back. Her aim was a bit wobbly, but she managed. After what seemed like minutes, she let the arrow go, letting it soar past Syaoran's face to the tree. It hit the tree smack in the middle.
The smirking boy clapped. "Good one Sakura, try again." Sakura formed another arrow and pulled it back. But something struck her. Her eyes widened and then her eyes became blank again. Her head turned to Syaoran and pointed her powerful blue arrow at Syaoran. As she let the clear blue arrow fly towards him, Syaoran put a shield around him. But the arrow could break it.
'Damn. What's wrong with her? How could she break my shield like that?' Syaoran thought, gritting his teeth.
"Sakura! What's wrong with you!" he yelled as he ran farther back, trying to avoid her arrows. 'The dark magic! It must be it. She would never use her magic on us like that.' he thought quickly.
Syaoran took cover and hid on a tree branch. He lifted a few leaves away to see what Sakura was trying to do. She looked around. Walking around the open area. Her sight lifted immediately as she saw another black hole appear in the sky. Another monster. Syaoran started to panic. The monster was coming and Sakura wasn't doing anything about it.
The tree branches rustled softly as the wind brushed against it's beautiful Sakura flowers, making the petals float into the scene with Sakura. Syaoran jumped down and watched Sakura, seeing her features under the sun and the petals flying around her lithe figure.
"Sakura! Get out of there!" Syaoran yelled, even though the site was so beautiful, he had to make sure Sakura wouldn't get hurt.
But all Sakura did was look at Syaoran with those blank eyes and turn back to the hole again. Syaoran scowled. He hated Sakura like this.
The monster jumped down and was meters away from the emotionless girl. The demon spotted the tiny sparkles her Jewel made and knew instantly that this was what he was looking for.
Sakura just stood there, staring lifelessly at the ugly thing. The monster, seeing that this pathetic human wasn't doing anything, it thought it would be easy. But no, he was in for a big surprise.
The monstrous creature made a run at Sakura. But she still didn't move. Her body was glowing again, and then a snake of magic curled around from her body into the air, hitting the beast back to where it was standing.
The demon groaned in frustration as he held the spot where he was hit. The thing was getting angry now. He charged at her again, but Sakura jumped at a great height and landed behind it.
With her bow, she pulled her powerful arrow back and waited a few seconds as her magic flowed into the glowing, clear blue arrow, making it shine brighter than the sunlight.
Syaoran stepped back as the demon missed Sakura as he charged. He was about to attack it, but then there was that same flash of light. Sakura had let her arrow go and it had struck the monster in the back, making it roar in pain. It shattered into pieces and disappeared. 'Okay, that was really impressive, I have to say' Syaoran thought, watching the disgusting pieces of the demon body disintegrate.
Sakura started to waver a little, due to the lack of magic she had in her, but pulling another arrow towards Syaoran, she seemed fine.
Syaoran stood there, watching Sakura with those worried, yet frustrated eyes. They stood like that for a moment, the light pink petals fallinf from the rustling trees. 'Snap out of it Sakura...' SYaoran thought, gritting his teeth. If Sakura could kill a demon like that, then he wouldn't have a chance to live if she did let the arrow go.
Sakura started to tremble, staring at the boy in front of her. 'I can't...I can't hurt Syaoran...stop! I have to stop!' her mind fought. But her grip loosened and the arrow shot out. Sakura's eyes turned normal again, but they were blinded by the searing light of the arrow.
"Syaoran!" her voice echoed through her mind, the Sakura blossoms, blowing away. She covered her eyes, as tears welled in them. Did she hit him? She prayed to God that she missed. The flash of light dimmed. And she reopened her crystal wet eyes...
