The small group ran down the street chasing after their friends slowly fading aura. They turned onto a dirt road and wasted no time in rushing down it. It led to an old rundown warehouse. And in the slowly fading light a bright light shone through one of the cracked windows. Syaoran rushed forwards and kicked down the old door. It fell to the ground with a loud echoing thud.

" Syaoran what if he heard you. Be careful."

" Like I care. He has Sakura I'm not going to just take two hundred years to get up there quietly."

He shouted amber eyes flashing before he took off into the dimly lit house. The other two shared a knowing look before taking off after him. Syaoran got to the door first and kicked it down. In the middle of the room was a thick glass container with some machine attached to it. And inside was a very pale weak girl.

"SAKURA!!!!!"

She lifted her head weakly. He rushed over to the glass.

"S-syaoran…watch out!"

He moved just in time. Where he had been was a black sword with a sharp looking blade. He smirked and called his own sword. The man holding the blade was almost like a ghost you could see right through him but he was becoming solider. As they clashed blades Syaoran finally realized why he needed Sakura.

" You're using her to make yourself solid!"

"Figure that out all by yourself?"

Syaoran scowled.

" You bastard you won't win!"

" But I all ready am as she gets weaker I get stronger, soon she'll be dead and I'll be fully alive."

Syaoran's eyes filled with concern and anger.

" Eriol Tomoyo get her out of there NOW!"

They rushed over and Eriol called his staff trying to find a way to break through the thick glass. Korain laughed at the look in Syaoran's eyes.

" You think you can save her?"

Syaoran took the opening and stabbed him. Korain let out a choking gasp and stumbled backwards. Syaoran narrowed his eyes.

"Fire come to my aid."

Flames shot out of his sword and surrounded Korain. Korain let a terrible scream and tried to get away from the flames. but he couldn't he passed out from the pain. Syaoran turned and ran to the glass Sakura was leaning against the other side barely awake.

" Lighting come to my aid!"

Lighting surrounded the glass and it shattered, a blue barrier went up around Sakura protecting her from the glass.

" Thanks Eriol."

Syaoran said rushing forwards and gently lifting the pale girl into his arms. She opened one eye and looked at him.

" Syaoran?"

He smiled and kissed her forehead.

" I'm here Ying-Fa."

She smiled and snuggled against him before passing out. Tomoyo fell into step beside him.

"She'll be all right won't she?"

Eriol smiled.

" Yeah she'll be fine after Syaoran blew up the machine it reversed the effect and her magic came back to her. She just needs to rest."

Syaoran let out a sigh of relief. They all left the building thinking the same thing.

'It's over.'

Little did they know that it was only just beginning.
