A/N: Sorry for not updating in a long, long, long time. I don't really feel like chatting at the moment so I'm just gonna move onto the darned story. ...sorry, it's not darned, I'm just in a bad mood at the moment 'cause it's hot, and I've got a headache, and my chest hurts, and my sister is blowing a plastic flute loud enough to leave my ears ringing and is being an annoying brat! Oh, and if I didn't mention it before, I've gotten a kimono now, and it's really pretty too!
Disclaimer: (sounding defeated) I don't own Card Captor Sakura, Clamp does.
Previously:
You see when a person is overwrought with pain, suffering, and agony they lose hold of everything that they know. ... ... ... They become practically invincible, unbeatable by the rest of the world. Only the most powerful, or those that are like them, stand a chance while fighting them.
Chapter 8: Sakura's Power
Sakura felt all her pain and rage consuming herself. Some, when in a fit of rage can't land a single blow due to so, but when the rage and anger and pain are so great there comes a point in which the person becomes practically invincible to others.
Sakura looked up at Yens, her eyes fierce, scary, and no longer reflecting that of a pitiful girl. "You pathetic man," she said, her voice full of malice. "You'll pay miserably for having crossed me and my friends.
Yens watched as the pitiful girl that he was tormenting became overcome by rage, and he started to fill with fear unlike any that he knew before. He could tell just by looking at the girl's eyes that he had met not his equal, but rather his superior. He began to take a few steps back, trembling as he did so, only to feel pain surging up his back. The girl, the once weakling girl, had somehow put up a sort of magic barrier that was preventing him from escaping.
Sakura's body rose up in the air, her hair floated around her face. "Did you think that I'd let you go that easily? You're a fool." She then magically materialized many kunai like objects around her and magically shot them all at once at Yens.
"GAAAHHHH!" shouted out the ninja in pain as he felt her magical objects hit him and pierce his flesh. Blood ran down his body from many wounds but he still stood. He started to gather up his strength and then charged at the floating girl, who mercilessly glared at him as she held out her hand.
"Now die," she venomously said.
Yens cringed while his eyes widened as the magical death wave came nearer and nearer to him.
Eriol laid on the ground, his body full of pain. He could feel magic being used, coming from Sakura and opened his eyes slowly. He heard her mutter "now die" and saw a death attack making it's way towards Yens. "No," he whispered while forcing himself up off of the ground. He summoned his staff to him and quickly began to mutter a counter for the attack.
Yens watched in fear as his life flashed before his eyes. He was little, watching his mother make dinner, then he was 10 and practicing his abilities with his sensei, and then soon he caught up to his current age, and watched, as time seemed to slow, the spell that was to take his life near him. But then he also saw it, another spell that was overcoming that of the other one, that was dissipating it. He then saw the blue haired boy jump up and pull the girl to the ground.
"Sakura, snap out of it! Don't let your magic over come you!" Eriol shouted at her. He could see her squeeze her eyes tight shut and could feel her body trembling, she was crying.
"I'm sorry, Eriol-kun. I'm so sorry," she chocked out while sobbing. "W-w-what happened to me?"
Eriol looked over at Yens and then back at Sakura. "You got angry and let your anger and rage overcome your being, then your magic went out of control, you having not used magic before weren't ready for it's power and so it took control of you."
Eriol then forced himself to stand again and walked towards Yens. "And as for you," he said and then began to mumble a spell.
"What!" screamed Yens as he felt his body become numb. He then fell over into unconsciousness.
Eriol knew that he had just used to much magic in his current condition and knew it even better as he felt his body fall to the ground and from a sideways view saw Sakura rushing towards him.
"Eriol-kun, are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
"I'm fine," he answered, "I just used too much and too powerful of magic while my body was hurt. I'm just energy deprived at the moment, all will be better after I rest. Until then you should tend to Toya. Later on I can heal both of your injuries." Eriol then let his eyes fall closed and sleep come upon him.
Sakura walked over to her stunned onii-chan.
"What just happened and what did you just do and since when could you wield magic and-"
Sakura cut her brother off then by embracing him tightly. "I don't know," she sobbed, "I'm so confused about all of this and I don't know, ask Eriol-kun, he seems to know."
Toya looked over at the sleeping boy. "Well we may as well do as he's doing and go to bed for the night also," he said while standing up. He walked over to Eriol and picked him up and then walked over to the boy's sleeping bag and put him into it and then placed a pillow beneath the boy's head. "So you're sure that he said that he'd be okay?" he asked Sakura who nodded in response and then fell onto Toya sleeping. Evidently using magic that day had taken away more of her energy than she had imagined.
Toya picked up his sister and carried her over to her sleeping bag and then tucked her into it while making sure that she was in a comfortable position and that she had a pillow beneath her head. "Sleep well, kaiju," he said softly while smiling, his sister never ceased to amaze him.
"Yes, yes, sleep well," muttered a voice off in the far distance. "Believe me, you'll need it." Tathrun smirked to himself, this would be fun. He now knew the extent of the group's powers much better. "Now I've only got one more person to worry about," he mumbled while walking over to a darkly lit room. "And then there's you," he said while looking at the unconscious form lying on the floor. "I suppose you also count, so then I should correct myself. There's the group, and then after them there's only two people to worry about."
A/N: Sorry that it's short, but it does leave room to wonder"
1. Who's the other person,
and 2. Who's the unconscious form that was lying on the floor,
and 3. When am I going to post the next chapter?
Sakura: But on the flip side of the coin the good to all this is this is her second updated story today, her other one being Shattered and Shattered Again, which you should really read. My role's better in this, but it's not too bad in Shattered... You know, I've got the great boyfriend and all in it... Anyways submit a review for Nanie!
Eriol: Yes, yes, do submit a review! They make your author happy, and they'll also inspire her to write more and make longer chapters.
