Thank you to all my readers, without you I could not be a success.

I do not own CCS (damn disclaimer, isn't it obvious that I down own CCS?)

Nywho, read on fellow fans.

Syaoran arrived at school ten minutes early, Eriol and Tomoyo were catching up. He took his seat and put his head down, depressed.

"Hey Syaoran," the very annoying voice of Callie Caso chimed, "What's wrong?" She took Sakura's seat in front of him and sat side-wards to face him. Syaoran looked up at her, her pained blue eyes and tight blond curls. He really did not feel like talking to her right now. He put his head back down on the desk. He suddenly felt something touch his hair; she was running her fingers through it. Syaoran jolted from his desk, brushing her hand away.

"Don't touch me," Syaoran said, deadly quiet. Eriol and Tomoyo walked in and immediately rushed to their seats. "You little whore, keep away from me."

"Syaoran," Caso whined, "What's wrong?"

"It's obviously something he doesn't want to talk about Caso," Tomoyo said, "Why don't you just go back to your seat and leave him alone right now."

"Because," Caso said, "I'm going to find out what's wrong with my boyfriend." The class hushed, astounded by this new development.

"I'm not your boyfriend," Syaoran said. "I wouldn't go near you with a ten foot poll."

"Well," Caso said, "That isn't what you said yesterday." The whole class gasped.

"I was not with you yesterday," Syaoran said, "I was hanging out with Kinnomoto, Eriol and Tomoyo yesterday. Oh, and by the way." He held of his still bandaged hand. "Next time I wouldn't do this to your interest." Caso gasped with the rest of the class. Syaoran took off the bandages and showed the class how bad the cut really was.

"You aren't insinuating," she said innocently, "That I had anything to do with that?" Syaoran said nothing; he re-wrapped his hand and sat down.

"Get out of Kinnomoto's seat," Syaoran said, then leaned in and whispered, "Or I'll tell everyone what they were going to do." Caso looked at him like he had slapped her. It was one thing for Kinnomoto, a mistrusted outcast, to blab then the popular Syaoran Li. Caso stalked back to her desk and sat down, Yakul stretched and not so smoothly reached his arm around Caso; she cuddled into him, giving Syaoran the 'this could be you' look.

"Hey," Eriol said, the class was back to normal, sitting down, "What's up?"

"I don't know," Syaoran said, "I just have this feeling, like something's wrong."

"What do you mean?" Eriol was worried. Now that Syaoran and Sakura were aware of their positions they might already have a bond. "Like something's wrong with Sakura?"

"I have to go," Syaoran said, "Tell the teacher I got sick or something."

"Syaoran," Tomoyo said, "Syaoran, talk to us. What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Syaoran said, standing, "I have to go, don't ask me anything. Something tells me that the less you know the better." Syaoran left the room, leaving a very confused Eriol and Tomoyo behind. He sighed, 'What are you doing? Where are you going?' Syaoran's feet acted of their own accord, he had no idea where he was until they finally stopped. "Touya." Syaoran could sense an evil aura seeping out of the place. This was not controlled, it was just running rampant, the kind of aura brought on by a horrific act that was committed or about to be committed. Syaoran ran up to the door and pounded on it. "Touya!" There was no answer. Syaoran quickly ran his hand over the top of the door; he felt a hidden key, just like Sakura's. Syaoran opened the door and charged inside. Touya was nowhere to be seen. "Touya!" Syaoran ran into the living room and saw Touya on the couch, a knife at his wrists.

Syaoran froze; Touya's eyes were completely dark. Not dark like he had magic, dark in the sense that there was just nothing there, no emotion at all. Syaoran knew that he could not get the knife in time if Touya decided to slash his wrists now. He almost looked like he was weighing the options of ending his life or not.

"Touya," Syaoran said, very quietly, "Touya, put the knife down." Syaoran took two steps into the room, moving silently and lacing his voice with magic, trying to persuade the man before him. "Touya, Yukito is alive, he'll be found."

"You don't know that!" Touya suddenly roared, not moving. "You can't know that, no one can. He's gone, he's gone! He was snatched right out of his room, under my nose! My son is gone, he's gone!" Touya was quickly becoming hysterical. "Don't you get it, I have no reason to live! Why should I? All I've ever done is let people down. I let down my mother when I let her die, I let down Sakura when I let her go to school when I KNEW she was being abused, I let down my son, I let down my wife! I've let everyone down. Look at me," Touya began pacing around the room. "I could have protected her from him, I could have saved her. I could have kept Sakura from being beat, but I didn't! I could have saved her!"

"Touya," Syaoran said, "Touya, you were a teen! You didn't know."

"Yes I did," Touya crashed his fists into a table, breaking it in half, "I knew exactly what was going on! I heard her screams; I knew hew as beating her! I knew, and I let it go, I covered my ears and kept silent. Then it was to late, I couldn't save them, I could only save her. I failed. I failed my own sister. Then when I took her away she was different, the scars he gave her aren't the only scars she had, and it's because of me! I knew what was happening! I knew and I let it go on! She lost her childhood because of me! Don't you get it? As long as I am alive Sakura will suffer, and it will be my fault." Syaoran stood there as Touya cried. "It's my fault, all my fault." He kept repeating that over and over again, holding his head. Syaoran took his opportunity and quickly took the knife away from Touya, he did not even notice. Touya just kept on crying until he cried himself to sleep. Syaoran, unable to move the tall man, put a pillow under his head and covered him with a blanket, then he hid all the knives he could find. Syaoran stayed with him the rest of the day, Eriol and Tomoyo showed up after school.

"What happened?" Tomoyo asked, looking around the house.

"Touya freaked," Syaoran said, "All I know is Sakura better find Yukito soon, Touya had a knife on his wrist."

"What?" Eriol was stunned.

"A knife?" Tomoyo asked at the same time.

"He was going to commit suicide," Syaoran said, "Come here." He took them to a different room. "I think I've figured out what happened." The two looked at him like he was crazy. "I know why Sakura is so guarded and cold. I think her father beat her and her mother." Eriol's and Tomoyo's jaws fell, Tomoyo paled and Eriol put his arm around her. "I think he killed her mother and Touya got her out of there before he killed Sakura. Touya mentioned something being his fault; in fact he mentioned every thing being his fault. I think Touya had a chance to get Sakura and his mother out, but didn't take it, and I think Sakura is his reason for being alive. Anyway, the sooner Sakura comes back with Yukito the better." Suddenly the front door opened.

"Hello," a voice called, "Touya!" Syaoran and Eriol ran to the front, ready for anything. Tomoyo stayed in the hallways. She saw a man maybe a year younger then Touya in the doorway, he was Japanese and looked ready for anything. The three guys were standing in fighting stances.

"Who are you?" Eriol asked.

"Where is Touya?" The man asked. He had black hair and stunning blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Syaoran asked again. The man relaxed.

"We will not get anywhere this way," he said, continuing in the house, "My name is Yukito, I am a friend of Touya's, now where is he."

"Passed out on the floor," Syaoran answered, closing the door, "How do you know the Kinnomoto's?"

"I know Touya and Sakura from Tokyo," Yukito said, "I came down here when I learned that my namesake had been kidnapped. Is Sakura here, she wasn't at her house?"

"She's out looking for Yukito," Tomoyo replied.

"She shouldn't have left," Yukito said, "I told her I was coming!" He was upset that Sakura had not waited for him.

"That's probably why she left dude," a very familiar voice said. Kero stuck his head out of Yukito's pocked. (Yukito is aware of Yue, his alter ego.)

"Kero!" Yukito said, attempting to stuff the small animal back in his pocked. "Hide!" Kero struggled against the hand that was pressing him back down into the deep pocket.

"They know!" Kero shouted, flying out from under Yukito's hand. "Relax, relax, they know about Sakura."

"Touya doesn't," Yukito said, "He's clueless."

"Also unconscious," Kero said, "Do you have any idea where she went?"

"She mentioned something about a guy name Kyoko," Syaoran said, "Who in hell are you," Yukito turned to Eriol.

"You may not recognize me in this form," Yukito said, glowing white and blue. Yue emerged from the blue light, folding back his wings. "Perhaps you may know this one." Eriol's jaw fell and Syaoran bowed to the guardian beast.

"Yue," Eriol said, surprised to see his old prodigy. "I did not know you were awakened."

"We can worry about that later," Yue said, his voice deeper and he seemed calmer, "Right now we must find Sakura." Yue turned and walked away from the other four. "I will make it my domain." Yue walked outside and began to chant, Eriol recognized the spell. Darkness fell and Yue was seen in his full beauty. His hair was long and white, it almost seemed to glow. His skin was pale and his robe was white with blue trim. Kero stayed in his lesser form, Yue could pass for a human, but a great winged Lion would not be able to go anywhere without notice, so he sat of Tomoyo's shoulder.

"Can you track her?" Kero hoped to use Yue's heightened powers and their link to Sakura to find her.

"Yes," Yue said, he closed his eyes and began to chant again. A blue light came from him and shot off in another direction to the right. "She is this way."

"That's a cool trick," Syaoran said, his board and sword with him, magicked there with Eriol's staff. "How'd you do that?"

"It is the bond I share with the Card Mistress," Yue answered, "Come, the light will lead us."

"I'm assuming that this is something I cannot see," Tomoyo said, since she saw no magic light. Eriol nodded.

"Can we hurry up?" Kero asked, "I don't like the idea of Sakura being alone for all this time." They followed the trail as best they could, but Sakura wasn't there with Fly so they had to trek it. Yue lost the wings and was able to take on a more normal appearance. They followed her trail to the alley where Kyoko was.

"Who are you?" A voice asked.

"We're here to see Kyoko," Syaoran said, "We're looking for Saku."

"Who wants to know where Saku is?" the voice asked again.

"We'll pay you," Yue said, throwing down a wad of twenties, "Just tell us where she is. I'm her brother."

"You the one with the missing kid?"

"Thanks," Yue said, suddenly he threw the thug up against a wall and took his gun, pointing it at his head, "Now tell me where she is or I'll blow your head off." The guy whimpered and Syaoran stood there with his jaw open, none of the teens were ready to kill someone.

"All right, all right," the guy, said, "I know where they are, just, don't tell them it was me." The guy had really been hired to stand there wait for them, Sakura had paid him, knowing full well that Yue would follow her. The guy led them down a few alleys and over to a warehouse. "She said she would be in there." The guy ran away when Yue released him.

"Fuck," Yue said, "I can't trace her, she blocked her aura."

"Try using the bond," Kero piped up, "She can't block that from us." Yue closed his eyes and changed for a few moments.

"I can't find her," he said, "I can't find the bond."

"What do you mean you can't find her?" Kero asked, "There's only one way she could break the bond and that would only happen if…"

"If?" Tomoyo prompted.

"If she were dead," Yue said, "But there may just be another way." Yue looked directly at Syaoran. "We have found her second."

"What?" Syaoran asked.

"Let's get inside," Eriol said, "Something's coming." They all walked inside the building and Yue cursed.

"Something's draining my powers," Yue said, "I won't be able to hold this form."

"Yue!" Eriol said as Yue fell to his knees. "Yue, change back."

"This isn't a trap," Yue said, getting weaker, "It's just a general drain, I think Sakura placed it for whoever she's going to bring here." Yue fell to the ground and glowed white; Yukito sat up and put on his glasses.

"Fill me in," he said.

"Yue led us to a warehouse," Syaoran said, "Sakura put a block here, it drained Yue's powers."

"Why here?" Yukito asked.

"Good question," Eriol said. Suddenly Sakura ran though the back door, a small screaming child in her arms, men behind her. Perfect timing.

"Sakura," Yukito yelled, taking out the gun he stole from the thug in the alley and pointing it at the guys chasing Sakura. "Down!" Sakura planted her right foot and turned sharply, ducking behind a box. Syaoran drew his sword and Eriol spun his wand, ready for battle.

"They're magic," Sakura said, "I've got a drain on the whole place, whatever happens, don't use your magic!" Eriol and Syaoran shrugged.

"Old way," they said at the same time. There was about five of them, all of them were carrying swords and knives. They had stopped and were looking at the armed teens waiting for them. Sakura handed the still crying Yukito to Tomoyo before drawing her own katana.

"Tomoyo," Sakura said, "Hide." Tomoyo quickly ducked into a row of boxes and climbed up on top of one, Yukito's cries had turned to whimpers. Sakura turned back to the men. "Leave one alive enough to talk." The five guys laughed.

"Do you honestly think that three teens and a guy will scare us?" He asked with a laugh.

"You magic is drained," Sakura said, she moved to the wall and a hidden switch, "You cannot battle with us in darkness, we must win this hand-to-hand."

"You will be the first to die," the guy said, "Bitch." Yukito fired one shot and took of the man's ear.

"Insulting Sakura is not a wise move," he said. The man was screaming and holding what used to be his ear.

"You're all dead," he said. "Get them!" Sakura flipped the switch and the warehouse was thrown into blinding darkness. Tomoyo could hear the sounds of a katana cutting through flesh and several screams. Suddenly she heard one very loud cuss in a distinctly feminine voice.

"Sakura," Syaoran called.

"Shit," she replied.

"Sakura," Eriol asked, searching for a wall, "Are you all right?" Eriol found the switch and flipped it. All five guys were on the ground, wounded. Sakura had taken a knife in the arm and had been pinned to a box.

"I've been better," she replied. Syaoran was there in a heartbeat.

"Sakura," Syaoran said, looking at her arm.

"He got me right after I stuck my sword down in his gut," Sakura said. Yukito moved Syaoran aside to look at her arm.

"It missed your bone," Yukito said, "You'll just need to wear a sling for a few weeks."

"Good," Sakura said, gritting her teeth, "Get it out." Yukito took a good hold on the knife.

"One…Two…Three!" Sakura whimpered as the knife cleared her skin and her wound began to bleed freely. Yukito had her sash off and around her arm in about two seconds. "You OK?"

"Yeah," Sakura said, her face pale. Yukito took off his jacket and made a makeshift sling, gently tying Sakura's arm to her body.

"Aunt Saku," Yukito (the younger) said. He ran to her and Sakura took him in her good arm.

"Yukito," she said. Yukito began crying into Sakura's hair. "Shh. Shh. It's all right, I've got you. You're safe now." Syaoran stared in wonder as Sakura calmed her nephew. She looked warm and maternal around her nephew; he knew that she could make a great mother someday. Yukito fell asleep against Sakura, her tunic still clenched in his hand. "Yukito?" Sakura asked. "Can I trust you to take care of them?" Sakura looked darkly over her shoulder at the five wounded men. "I don't think that these three should see what happens." Yukito nodded, his face grim. (Think Sin City)

"I know what to do," he said. "Will you be all right?"

"Yeah," Sakura said looking at her arm, "You know I've had worse." Sakura turned and jolted her head for the others to follow. They made their trek across town through back alleys and over rooftops. Syaoran could tell that Sakura was exhausted from carrying her nephew and blood loss. She would not let anyone take Yukito, his hold on her was to tight and she did not want to wake him up until they were home. Syaoran unlocked the door and checked to make sure Touya was all right; he was still asleep where they had left him.

"It's clear," Syaoran called. Sakura entered with Tomoyo and Eriol, her face paler then normal.

"Wake him up," Sakura instructed, "Gently." Syaoran shook Touya awake and he looked at Sakura.

"I guess I'm still dreaming," Touya said, "Because I think I'm awake and my sons here." Sakura shook Yukito awake.

"Go to Daddy," she whispered. Yukito blinked his eyes open and realized that he was home, Touya's eyes widened

"Daddy?" Yukito asked, his voice small. Touya yelled his sons name and scrambled up from the floor as Yukito squirmed out of Sakura's grasp and ran to his father. Touya caught his son up and held him close, tears pouring from his eyes. He kept rocking Yukito and repeating his name over and over. Tomoyo smiled and Eriol wrapped his arm around her. Sakura smiled, Syaoran itched to hug her, but he did not dare. Sakura motioned with her left that they should leave. As they walked outside Sakura had a swift hand moment, having trouble because of her slinged arm.

"Here," Eriol said, completing the movement. "It's not going to be as strong as yours, but it should hold." Sakura smiled. Suddenly she felt something rip through flesh and bone, she paled several shades.

"Sakura?" Syaoran asked. Sakura looked down, a katanta was sticking out of her stomach, blood dripped from her mouth. "Sakura!" The blade withdrew and Sakura fell into Syaoran's arms. The world darkened. Behind Sakura was a black shape, amorphous, with tentacles. One of them was holding a bloody black sword. Syaoran put his hand over Sakura's wound, hoping to stem the blood, she was already unconscious.

"So pathetic," the deep booming voice said, "I thought that the Master, or should I say Mistress, of the Clow Cards would be more of a challenge." The creature came forward, the katanta still in his grip. Syaoran pulled Sakura closer and dragged her back, but the door was no there. Syaoran turned around; all that was behind him was darkness. Tomoyo and Eriol were not there, but he could hear them calling, faintly. "It's no use running, I have you where you can't get out." Syaoran still carried Sakura away, trying to get her away from the monster. He already knew that it was hopeless, he could not stop Sakura's wound from bleeding and kill the monster. It was over, either way Sakura would die.

Syaoran held Sakura very close, he did not notice that she was only slightly conscious. "I'm sorry," Syaoran whispered. Sakura could only see his shirt. "I've failed you Sakura. I love you." Syaoran brought her lips in his in one final kiss, gentle and soft, but filled with passion. Sakura felt her world darken and she slipped out of conscious ness, her last image had been of his face.

"How sweet," the monster said, "To find here only to loose her again." The monster was right in front of the kneeling boy, ready to strike.

"Again?" Syaoran asked. He never got his question answered. The monster swung the katana and it caught Syaoran in the chest, piercing his right lung. Syaoran felt the blade cut through bone and flesh and come out of him; his lifeblood began to drain away. The monster was going to wait for him to die before finishing Sakura off, over Syaoran dead body. Syaoran pulled Sakura against his chest, his world began to darken. Suddenly a light from behind him, brightly shining and chasing the dark away.

"What?" The monster asked. "No, it can't be!" The monster fled as the white light surrounded Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran smiled as he felt his body hit the ground, Sakura still in his arms, their blood mingling on the ground below them. Syaoran was satisfied; at least they could be together in heaven. Syaoran's world darken, his eyes began to close. The last thing he saw was Sakura's face, her green eyes closed, forever.

Well, let me know what you think.
