Thanks for all the support guys! Oh…and I understand that some of you were wondering what the heck I was going on about when I said that Tomoyo wasn't a human. WELL…you're just going to have to keep reading AND REVIEWING to find out what the heck I'm going on about, ok???!! Let's get started people!!
The Chosen Ones
Chapter 5 – Weapons and First Kiss
Sakura turned around from fixing her bathers and looked at Syaoran. He looked at her and blushed, but quickly covered it up with a smirk.
Sakura smiled shyly and stepped over to him.
"What did you want to tell me?" She asked him, trying to ignore his amber eyes piercing through hers.
"I wanted to apol-" Syaoran's words were cut off as he saw Sakura look up at the sky. Something weird was going on.
(A.N. Sorry to wreck the fluffy moment guys! They'll be lots to come!)
Aunt Nethara whispered words under her breath and stretched her arms out in front of her. She was saying:
Give the Prince and Princess the power
To overcome the evil coming.
A bow and never ending arrows for Sakura,
While a sword for Syaoran.
These weapons shall have great power
And shall help them to defeat the ultimate evil.
Do this for me. NOW!!
Aunt Nethara's eyes glowed brightly and Syaoran and Sakura looked up at the sky to see flames gathering behind the clouds.
Sakura felt her arms go numb and raise to the sky. Syaoran watched this with wide eyes, reaching over to help her. He then felt his hands do the same as Sakura and could only stare as bright light covered both of them. Sakura felt herself become relaxed and she waited for what was to happen.
Quite suddenly a bow and leather tight bag of arrows appeared in her hands. She blinked and her arms went in front of her to show her what had appeared out of no where. She felt a powerful pull of magic move through her body and Sakura gulped in surprise. Looking over at Syaoran she noticed that he had the same expression on his face as hers, and he held a sword in his hands.
They turned to each other and moved slowly towards the other through the water. Sakura totally forgot she was in her bathers and moved quickly to Syaoran.
"What the…" They both said at the same time.
"You may be asking why I have given you these weapons," a voice came from behind them, revealing Aunt Nethara walking calmly over to the edge of the lake.
"but you shall need these weapons for practise before you both must face the ultimate evil." She told them calmly.
Sakura and Syaoran exchanged glances and looked back at her. Sakura swam to the edge of the lake and climbed out of the water, Syaoran close behind. They both came out dripping wet and placed their weapons on the grass in front of them.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked finally. Looking directly at Aunt Nethara, trying to forget how Aunt Nethara saw her and Syaoran swimming together.
Aunt Nethara looked gravely at her. "What I mean is. There is evil coming, you know that. After the sword of Falia got stolen, the vampires have been able to come into our world. This will only bring great havoc and much destruction. With these vampires, they shall bring many creatures that are so powerful we may never survive unless you both are trained. You both are the Chosen Ones. Chosen thousands of years before you were born to defeat this evil. Wether or not you defeat it is another matter. It's all up to how you work together.
"Ok, so we're facing the vampires alone?" Syaoran asked her grimly.
Aunt Nethara clasped his shoulder and shook her head.
"On no my boy. You will have a lot of power behind you, but the last battle is you both and Lord Zemoch. For now you two have to get the sword of Falia back and travel to the pits of hell. That is al l will tell you for now. But you must know one last thing." She told Syaoran calmly, looking him up and down.
"You," she said, pointing at him. "And Sakura must know that I have been chosen to guide you to the final battleground and help make you both stronger, When you get the Sword of Falia back, Syaoran, you shall use the sword to help Sakura beat Lord Zemoch. Wether you do or not is up to you. But you must try or all shall be lost." With that, Aunt Nethara turned away and walked back to the campsite, leaving Sakura and Syaoran to stare at their new weapons.
Sakura watched as Aunt Nethara left them and turned to Syaoran.
"Well…" she said speechlessly.
Syaoran turned to her with a confused expression and half smiled.
"Sakura?" he asked, pointing to his new sword.
"What?" Sakura answered, looking to where he pointed.
"Why on earth am I the one that has to use the sword of Falia against the enemy with you? Shouldn't that be Touya?" He tapped his head in thought.
Sakura's eyes widened and she nodded. "I guess the only answer would be that Touya has another task that we don't have…" She answered calmly, looking at her weapon.
Syaoran nodded and accepted the answer.
"Ok…well lets go back to camp. We're not going to get any answers from Aunt Nethara but we may have to explain this to your brother." He said, picking up his clothing and sword, and heading back to camp.
"Ok." Sakura answered, picking up her things and following him.
"Is this true, Aunt Nethara?" Touya asked Aunt Nethara calmly, from his position around the fire.
Aunt Nethara nodded gravely.
"That is all I can tell you for now Touya. I'm here as your guide and I don't know why Syaoran has to use the sword of Falia and not you. I will tell you everything when the time is right." She answered in a voice that meant no further questions.
Sakura looked over at Syaoran and he smiled shakily.
"This will take a while to get used to." He told them nervously.
Sakura comfortingly put her hand on top of his and squeezed gently. Syaoran over at her in surprise, and Sakura, seeing what she was doing, pulled her hand quickly from his. They didn't notice Aunt Nethara's secret smile on her face.
Eriol looked at them and smiled.
"You might find more answers when we get to the Elvish Kingdom. They know a lot more about this then we do." He said, looking at Touya.
Touya nodded. "Well lets get some sleep and travel quickly to the Elvish Kingdom. We can't waste much time. Every second we waste, the sword is getting further away from us.
Sakura yawned and stood up.
"Ok. Goodnight everyone." She stepped away from the group and headed towards her tent. Syaoran watched her go and thought to himself. Knowing her, she's going to try out her weapons. Well, is she can do it, so can I. It's time we got to know each other anyway. Wendy would be annoyed at me if I didn't help out like I'm s'possed to. He got up, said his goodnights and headed for his tent next to Sakura's.
Sakura closed her eyes and dreamt.
Sakura was running beside Syaoran through a forest of some sort.
"I'm not going to let them hurt you, ok Sakura? You're mine. I love you and I'll never let them steal you away from me." he told her, catching her hand as they ran into the forest.
Sakura smiled. "I CAN fend for myself Syaoran, you know that. But that's a really nice thing to say. I love you too." She said, squeezing his hand and holding on as they hid behind a bush.
They heard a rustling and Syaoran looked up.
"He's coming. You ready for a bit of fun?" he asked her, a mischievous sparkle in his eyes.
Sakura reached over and kissed him firmly on the lips.
"Offcourse, Syaoran. Let's go get him!"
They jumped out of the bush and Sakura saw the man. He had a sword in his hands and was looking through the trees.
"I know you're there brats. Come out if you know what's good for you." He said shakily.
"You looking for me?" Sakura said. Pointing an arrow towards his head. She was standing in a high branch in a nearby tree. Syaoran was nowhere in sight.
"Let me have some fun first, love." Syaoran said, jumping out from behind a bush, startling the man.
The man gulped and got into a fighting position with his sword.
Syaoran took out the Sword of Falia and smirked.
"Time for some fun…" he murmured, much to Sakura's amusement from her position in the tree. She jumped down and stood next to Syaoran with her arrow ready to shoot.
The man straightened and whistled loudly. About 20 men jumped out from nearby bushes, all equipped with weapons.
"I brought a few of my own. Hope you don't mind, but we're about to steal from you." He said, grinning at Sakura.
Sakura smiled and shot at arrow at one of the men, making him fall to the ground, clutching his wounded arm.
"Let's go." Syaoran shouted, jumping for the man, with the sword. The man dodged the Syaoran and jumped behind him.
Sakura began shooting arrows at all the men, direct hits, but not enough to kill them.
The man raised his sword to stab Syaoran in the bag. He raised his sword but Syaoran wasn't there. He looked up and Syaoran flew from the sky.
"Looking for me?" he asked calmly.
He hit the man with the bud of his sword on his head.
The man rolled away and Syaoran landed on the ground.
The man shook his head and got into a fighting position again.
Syaoran did a backward flip and swung his sword around in his hands, making him look very dangerous.
The man whistled, telling his men to run and turned around, to see that they were all on the ground around him, with Sakura standing next to Syaoran with a smile on her face.
Sakura flipped through the air to land behind the man. She tapped him on the shoulder.
"Boo." She whispered in his ear.
The man screamed and ran away through the trees.
Watching his figure disappear and the men get up to follow him slowly, Sakura laughed.
"That was great…" she said, turning to Syaoran.
He smiled and pulled her to him, giving her a hug. She slipped her arms around his neck and brought him closer.
"That was good wasn't it, love?" he asked her huskily, rubbing noses with her.
She got lost in his eyes and smiled softly.
"We are a good team aren't we?" she answered.
He was about to answer but it got muffled when Sakura pressed her lips against his, silencing him. He kissed her passionately under the morning sun, happy that they had found their one true love.
Sakura got wakened by the sound of crunching leaves outside her tent. She wiped the thought of that weird dream and blushed. She was kissing Syaoran. I can think of that later. She thought, reaching for her arrows. Someone's outside. Time for a little practise.
She opened the tent flap and looked out. The noise had stopped. She looked around in the darkness and heard the snores of her fellow companions from inside their tents. I'm going to go after it. Give me some practise with these arrows.
She heard a crunch of leaves over in the trees behind their camp. She raised her arrow and looked around, before running silently after it.
She ran after the crunching sound, knowing that she was catching up to it.
She ran until she found herself in a big circular grass space, surrounded by the woods. She looked around, trying to listen for the sound but instead hearing complete silence.
She raised her arrow and looked around.
"Who's there?" she asked softly, looking around the darkness of the woods. She heard a crunch of leaves form behind her and quickly looked behind her. She saw something walking towards her from inside the woods. It was dark and she couldn't see well, but she could see that whatever it was, was wearing a dark cloak and hiding its face from her.
"You looking for me, Princess?" came a soft voice from inside the hood.
Sakura raised her arrow, reading to let it shoot.
"Oh, I wouldn't do that Princess Sakura." It said, pulling the hood from it's face, revealing a vampire.
Sakura's arrows vanished from her hand and she was left standing helplessly.
"You're a vampire." She said softly.
The vampire had powdery white skin and was wearing a a black cloak. She noticed with wide eyes that it had fangs coming out of it's mouth.
"I'm Nagra, girl. I've come here for one reason only." He stepped closer towards her and Sakura took a nervous step back.
Nagra came closer until he was circling her.
"I've come for a little bite. If I bite you, you will instantly die and Touya will have to stop going after to sword, knowing he can't get it without his little sister's help." He said, growling softly.
"No…" Sakura said loudly.
"I won't give up without a fight. Just because I'm far enough from Touya and he can't hear me, doesn't mean I won't give up without a fight." She said, flashing the vampire an evil smile.
Nagra smirked.
"As if girl. But I'll give you a chance."
He stepped away from Sakura and got into a fighting position.
Sakura also stepped back and felt an energy from inside her.
She smiled.
Nagra jumped for her, trying to grab her arm but missing.
Sakura flipped away and smiled.
She flicked her hands and raised them to the sky.
"Give me power…" she whispered under her breath.
She felt her hands glow and energy flood through her body. Before enough power could get in, Nagra knocked her to the ground, pinning her with his hands.
"Pathetic Princess. Not going to work." He said, growling again under his breath. He rolled away from her and got up.
Sakura wiped the dust off herself and got up.
How am I supposed to use my powers against this vampire? She thought. She was starting to get a little scared and hoped that someone would help her out of his mess.
Nagra noticed the scared look on her face and knew that he had found a weakness.
He jumped for Sakura. Sakura tried to dodge him but he was too strong. She struggled as he pulled her to the ground.
He was lying on top of her.
"Get off me, please…" she mumbled.
"Your weakness is that your scared. You can never beat me if your scared." Nagra said softly, eying her neck that was easy access for his fangs to get too.
"Too late Princess…" Nagra said softly, making Sakura shake with horror as he lowered his fangs to her neck.
She closed her eyes and knew that it was over. She was going to die.
She suddenly felt Nagra being kicked off her and she looked up. It was Syaoran.
He smiled at her and put his hand out to help her up.
"Thought you were training Sakura, not getting yourself killed." He said, smirking softly.
Sakura felt the colour coming back to her cheeks and she smiled back at him, reaching for his hand, letting him pull her up.
She stood next to Syaoran and looked over at where Nagra was crouching on the ground. He raised himself up and looked at them.
"Now I'll have to kill you both." He hissed softly, flicking his hands out so that long sharp nails sprung out.
"Whatever buck tooth." Syaoran said to him, pulling his sword out from its sheath.
Nagra roared and Sakura got into a fighting position next to Syaoran. I can fight without my arrows, as long as I'm not scared. She thought to herself.
"Ready Sakura? Let's give this guy something to talk about." He said, looking at her sharply. She saw the sparkle of mischievous in his eyes, witch reminded her of the dream she had had.
She nodded and smiled.
She flicked her hands up to the sky and shouted. "GIVE ME MY ARROWS, NOW!" Light flashed onto her hands and she found her bow and arrows back in her hand.
Syaoran looked at her questionly.
"You'll have to tell me how you do that after, ok?" he asked, much to Nagra's annoyance.
"Let's get on with this!" he screamed and ran for Syaoran.
Sakura aimed an arrow at him and let it go. It hit Nagra's arm and he cried out in pain.
"You stole the sword! Now you're gonna pay!" She shouted.
Nagra shuddered and ignored the pain in his arm, instead licking the blood from his arm.
Nagra ran towards Syaoran and flicked his hands, sending his nails shooting out from his fingers, much like sharp bits of glass.
Sakura looked in horror as Syaoran smiled.
Sakura shot another arrow at Nagra and he screamed. This time it hit him in his left leg, but he continued running towards Syaoran.
Syaoran felt time slow down and he flipped over the incoming sharp nails and Nagra, landing behind him.
"Looking for me?" he asked calmly.
Nagra growled and looked back at him. The nails appeared on his hands again.
Nagra jumped into the air and landed in front of Syaoran. Sakura screamed and felt time speed up. She ran so fast in front of Syaoran and felt Nagra kick her in the ribs, making her fall to the ground of Syaoran.
Nagra blinked and saw that he had kicked the girl instead. How had she moved so quickly?
Syaoran looked down in horror at the now unconscious Sakura and looked angrily at Nagra.
"Time to die vampire." He growled, anger building up inside of him.
Nagra smirked in triumph and took out a sword, preparing for a fight.
Syaoran jumped for Nagra and the sound of swords clashed.
Nagra blocked Syaoran's move and dove in for his stomach. Syaoran blocked his move and flicked his wrist, sending a soar of power through his sword, so that it entered so quickly into Nagra's lung that he didn't have time to scream.
Nagra looked in horror at the sword poking through his chest and he fell to the ground.
"I'll be back. I haven't finished with you or the girl yet. Count on that." Nagra whispered weakly, vanishing on the ground, leaving the sword in his place.
Syaoran grabbed his sword and ran over to Sakura's form.
He had pain in his eyes as he saw Sakura's crumpled form in front of him. I shouldn't have let this happen. He said to himself. This is all my fault. She's hurt because of me. I should be protecting her, not the other way around…He reached for her waist and pulled her to him, placing her gently against his chest. He ripped open the dressing gown she was wearing and saw a big bruise over her right ribs. He cringed and shook her lightly.
"Sakura…I'm so sorry…this is my fault…" he felt tears coming to his eyes and looked at her face. Her hair was blowing in the breeze messily in the breeze. Her face had dirt smudges on it. To Syaoran she actually looked quite beautiful. Where'd that come from? He asked himself. I'm having way to many stupid dreams at the moment. That's what this is about, yes.
He brushed some hair away from her face and lightly touched her cheek.
Sakura slowly opened her eyes and looked at Syaoran's sorrowful face. He had his eyes closed and he was holding her tightly against him, tears streaming out of his eyes, landing on Sakura's night gown. (A.N. Quite amusing actually… He hasn't noticed that she's only got bruised ribs and she's not going to die! Silly Syaoran…)
Sakura reached up and wiped a tear from Syaoran's face. He looked suddenly down at her and the tears stopped. He's eyes widened and he hugged her softly.
"I'm so sorry Sakura. This is all my fault. I should have been there befo-" His words were cut off as Sakura smiled softly and placed a delicate finger on his lips.
"I'm ok. I swear. This will be better in a few days…" she whispered softly.
"I'm glad Sakura. I don't know what I would have done if you'd been seriously hurt. I hadn't even had a chance to say sorry for calling you stupid names before!" he whispered back, holding her close to him.
Sakura looked deep into his eyes and smiled. Why is he being so nice to me? I mean…he doesn't like me or anything…maybe…I…nah…He doesn't…but what if he did??
Syaoran kept looking into her emerald eyes and got lost. Why haven't I noticed how beautiful she was before? She's just so…perfect. Almost makes you want to kiss her…WAIT!! What am I saying! She's just Touya's little sister, I can't be anything with her! I'm just a poor boy with no past…
Sakura noticed his eyes shining again with tears and she did the only thing she could think of to make him better. He deserves this. He's been way to kind to me…
She swung her arms around his neck and held him tight. Looking deep into her eyes she said softly, "Thankyou Syaoran…"
He looked at her in shock and was about to say something except she silenced him again with her finger.
Sakura closed her eyes and kissed Syaoran softly on the lips.
Eriol looked at the two and smiled from behind a tree. I wish I could do that with you too, Tomoyo. I wish I could…
I love this ending! Sooooooo fluffy! But just to warn you all…there are going to be a lot more kisses! But Syaoran and Sakura are going to get to know each other first. I call that kiss a 'friendly kiss', but who knows…it could have been a whole lot more…so you keep updating and all your wishes will come to life!!
Heh. Enough about the fluff. Want to know more stuff about the enemy? What the heck Eriol is going on about? Meet what could be Touya's new love…? BUT I WON'T SAY HER NAME!!! And want to see some more of that adventure that you love best?? Well…keep updating man!
