Woohoo! All of a sudden I feel like writing again, so yeah. I started this chapter as soon as I posted chapter 7 ;)
I am soooo sorry for the slow update, secondary school is crazy.
I'm so effing pissed with ffnet. They just deleted TWO of my fics! So, in future, if you find any fic missing, look for it in tianyitoo. This is my 2nd account, for fics that have been deleted for some reason by fanfiction staff. I'm so freaking pissed.

Chapter Eight
"She doesn't know where Mokona is."
"I… I… can't we just go back somehow?"
"She doesn't want to help us!" Syaoran cried in exasperation.
"No!" Sakura bit her lip. "This can't be happening… why me… why… us?" Tears spilled out of her eyes, the emerald shimmering brightly in them.
"I don't know, Princess. We've had our fair share of happiness before, didn't we? Maybe destiny has led us to a path of some… angst, for a while. It's just a while, Princess. Don't worry." Syaoran opened his arms and held Sakura in a tight embrace.
"We had happiness?" Sakura looked up at Syaoran, leaving streaks of tears to fall down freely. "How come I don't remember any?" She closed her eyes. "Maybe… I haven't really done anything in my whole life. Maybe this is just a dream. I must be in a coma now… It isn't possible that I can't remember experiencing so many moments of happiness."
"I wish I were in a coma now," Syaoran muttered to himself.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"Oh… nothing."
… …
"So that's agreed then?"
"Syaoran… I don't feel so good about doing this."
"But we can't do anything else, Princess."
"It's so… evil. And underhanded. Just like something Fye would do."
"Princess…"
"I'll go." Sakura sighed angrily. "But I know I'll regret it."
"You won't. Not when we're back home, safe and sound."
… …
"God, it's so quiet here."
"Shh! Her powers are far more powerful than we think."
"That's why I told you we shouldn't have come!"
"Noooo. Since we're going to do it, let's do it."
Sakura's eyes narrowed. "I don't think…"
"Come on, Sakura. It's like that philosophy of the jungle- eat or be eaten."
"I hope we eat."
"That's why we take action before we're eaten."
Suddenly, Syaoran stopped creeping along the dimly lit passageway. He collapsed into a heap on the marble floor.
"Syaoran! Syaoran! What's the matter?" Sakura whispered frantically.
"No… no… nothing. Let's continue," Syaoran muttered and faced his back to Sakura, not allowing her to see the look of discomfort on his face. A fierce pain was gnawing at his stomach, and he couldn't walk properly. Damnit. What the hell did I eat? The biggest operation I'm doing in months and I have a stomachache.
Syaoran bit his lip. Effing shit. Why does this hurt so much?
He didn't notice that the blood he tasted wasn't from his lip. He didn't notice the numbness of his brain.
He didn't notice Sakura screaming as he blacked out.

Heyz, I'm really busy, so sorry for the short chappy. I can almost guarantee you that chapter nine will be nice and long.
