Hey peep's I'm back.

Yeah, sorry it took so long to update.

Nywho…

Read on my fello fans. (I do not own CCS)

Kisak bowed to the masked beauty in front of him. Sakura and Touya was off training Syaoran and Eriol for their black belt test and he had taken over the more experienced classes. Right now his focus was on Melin, she would be taking her own test in just a few months. Tomoyo had already increased in two levels, she now had her yellow belt and was expected to test soon. (The order is no – white - yellow stripe – yellow - green stripe – green - blue stripe – blue - purple stripe – purple - red stripe – red - brown stripe –brown - brown senior - black/dan) Kisak smiled, now he had to focus on his match with Melin. She was standing at the ready in her tunic and leggings, a knife in her hand and her ears perked.

Kisak moved in total silence, sliding his left foot around his right to keep moving, circling like a cat. Melin heard him and threw a kick in his direction, he caught her foot and flipped her over, he sighed, he had been hoping for a good fight. Suddenly her other foot came in contact with his skull and she took him down with her. Kisak rolled up only to be tackled and taken to the ground, her dagger at his throat, his hand was on her hip as her legs straddled his waist. Melin smiled and removed her mask.

"Never underestimate your opponent," Melin said, "They usually have a trick that you don't know about." Suddenly the two noticed their position, or at least noticed that neither of them minded being in such close contact. Kisak took the moment of distraction to grab her and pin her down.

"And never let your mind wander," Kisak replied.

"I don't see you jumping away," Melin chided. Kisak felt a swirl of emotion swirl through his heat, he loved Sakura, he tried to focus his mind of Sakura.

"You know," Sakura said, leaning against the wall. "If I didn't know better I'd be jealous." Kisak and Melin jumped apart, blushing. Syaoran walked up and threw his arm around Sakura.

"Does this mean she's single," Syaoran swung Sakura around and leaned in toward her face. Sakura, with the hand that was away, blocked his lips from hers with two fingers so it would only look like they were kissing. The Sakura/Syaoran relationship had transformed into more of a best friend with flirtations relationship over the weeks. The two laughed inwardly at the look on Kisak's and Melin's faces. Kisak ripped Syaoran away and threw him towards Melin while wrapping his arms around Sakura and kissing her soundly.

"You do know I was faking?" Sakura whispered. Kisak smiled.

"I just needed a reason to kiss you," Kisak said, kissing her gently. "Besides, I can't taste anything foreign on your lips." Sakura smiled and dodged away jokingly. Suddenly she felt a presence like she felt the night she was stabbed, Syaoran felt it to.

"Sakura," he said, leaning in close to whisper. "Are you feeling what I'm feeling?" Sakura nodded. "We need to get out of here." Sakura once again agreed.

"My cards are in my bag," Sakura whispered back, "Kisak does not know." Syaoran made eye contact with Melin and performed some very complicated hand movements. Melin nodded and began talking with Kisak. "What was that about."

"Sign language, I told her to distract Kisak," Syaoran said, "I'll meet you under the clock in five minutes. Don't tell Eriol, he'll want to come after us." Sakura nodded.

"There's a door in the back of the changing room through locker 57," Sakura said, "If you can fit go out the back, Touya doesn't know it's there. Meet me on the stairs." The two parted and changed into new costumes before going outside. Syaoran was wearing his white leggings and green tunic, Sakur was as wearing her black garb, they both had swords and spells (cards in Sakura's case) at the ready. Syaoran and Sakura leapt from the stairs and landed in a clump of trees.

"Can you still sense it?" Syaoran asked, his own sense dimming.

"Yes," Sakura said, "But we're heading in the wrong direction." She turned to her right and felt the presence grow. "This way." The two jumped through the trees with grace, moving from branch to branch with the elegance of cats. The two finally closed the distance.

"I can feel it everywhere," Syaoran said.

"Hold on," Sakura said. She took out the summon card and said it's name, two sets of armor appeared on the ground nearby. The armor was truly beautiful. One had a silver chest piece inlaid with green dye and had the mark of the wolf on the back. The chest piece had a beautiful, but practical, helmet to match with gauntlets and leg braces. Sakura handed everything with a wolf symbol on it to Syaoran, he buckled it on quickly. Sakura picked up her set of armor, was embellished with a small pink cherry blossom on the shoulder and had a wing motif on the back and helmet. She put all her amour on and stood up, looking very tall and majestic. Syaoran felt an old feeling in his heart stir again at the sight of her. "We'd better be ready for anything."

The two began to stalk the presence that was becoming more difficult to sense. Sakura knew that the two were far less magic then the single being surrounding them, but the monster no longer held the element of surprise.

"Well, well," the voice said, "It seems you have found me." The two were at Penguin Park and the voice boomed around them, echoing off the playground. "I thought you children would never track me here."

"Show yourself coward," Sakura called. A black amorphous mass formed to her left.

"As you wish!" The thing began to form and tentacles lashed out at Syaoran. He cut every single one off cleanly and they writhed away before healing. More came and the two fought furiously, the park becoming darker by the moment.

"Syaoran," Sakura said, "Cover me!" She gave her him sword and took out two cards, putting all her energy into one blast. "Light!" She yelled. The creature shrunk back and tried to flee as the beautiful Card gave a blinding burst of light around the park. "Windy!" The Windy card surrounded the creature and held it in pace. "Syaoran, don't hurt Windy." The card dropped the creature and Syaonra put all his weight behind a crushing blow.

"Sakura!" He yelled, a battle cry that echoed around and drove his sword into the creature. Wounded it shrank away as Sakura dropped to her knees, exhausted. (The girl's just used a lot of freaking magic and her arm's finally healed, give her a break.) The creature suddenly lunged towards the weakened girl and formed a katana with one of his tentacles, holding it at her throat. Red blood poured over her armor.

"Syaoran!" She screamed. Sakura could do nothing as the thick tentacles encircled her body and held her arms close, blackness crawled at the edges of her vision and take over. Syaoran turned and paled, Sakura was being held limply in the creature's grasp, weak from the drain on her magic.

"Drop your sword," the monster said. Syaoran let the sword fall from his fingers and clatter next to Sakura's katana. The creature seemed to leer from the heart of his shape.

"Young fool," the creature said, "Did you honestly think I would spare the master of the Clow Cards?" The katana pulled away from Sakura's body and prepared to plunge in. Syaoran screamed Sakrua's name. His senses expanded and the shout was carried far beyond the range of any mortal voice. A great pulse came from Syaoran and knocked the creature from her and out of the dimension. Sakura fell to the ground and lay very still. Syaoran felt drained and all his energy left him, he collapsed on the ground. The two lay there unconscious, unaware of the immense magic that had pulsed through land and time.

Well, what did you think?

Like it, hate it?

Just review, flames welcome. Especially since it's really cold where I am right now.

I'll update soon, I promise.
