Well, you guys are in for a surprise with this chapter and Guardian and I both hope that you enjoy this next chapter.

Guardian: The song in this chapter is called El Tango de Roxanne from the movie Moulin Rouge. It's such a tragic song and I thought that it was a perfect fit for what's going to happen next. Enjoy everyone! :)

Chapter Eleven

Guardian's Sacrifice

Lucas smirked, his eyes flashing dangerously. "Guess ya caught me. I was wondering when you were going to notice, Ice Pipsqueak," Lucas said as he changed back into his original form with a huge maniacal grin on his face.

"Why are you here, Envy? What do you want?" Envy smirked at the question and shrugged his shoulders. "I came to get the feather in this world...and to get my revenge on the little Light Pipsqueak while I was at it."

Fallin's eyes widened then narrowed in hatred. "What do you want with Guardian? What did she ever do to you to want revenge?"

"BECAUSE SHE KILLED LUST, YOU INSOLENT HUMAN!" Envy snapped at Fallin. "I want to kill her for killing Lust. Hmph...if Gluttony was still alive, I would have brought him along to eat her corpse once I was finished with her, too."

Fallin and Guardian cringed when he mentioned Gluttony, remembering what Ed and Al had told them about him...that he ate humans to wet his voracious appetite. Then the doors to the practice room flew open and in the doorway stood Bekah-chan, Yami, Syaoran, Sakura, Kurogane, Mokona, and the Hosts. They had heard Envy yell through the open doorway and knew something was wrong. The two Rangers, Syaoran, Sakura, Kurogane, and Mokona all stared at Envy with wide eyes, wondering how he had gotten to Ouran in the first place. Then Kurogane gripped the hilt of his katana when he saw the Homunculus and growled, "How the heck did you get here, Homunculus?"

Envy smirked evilly at him and replied, "I have my ways, human. Plus I have a few tricks up my sleeve this time." Envy pulled out a red crystal with gold facets in swirled patterns from his pocket and held it up to the group with a smirk.

"What's that?" Kurogane asked the Homunculus and Envy smiled at them all evilly. The crystal in Envy's hand glowed and Fai and Guardian could feel the powerful magic coming from it. "It's a Garner Stone. This crystal has the ability to steal the light from within a human and contain it, rendering the unlucky individual comatose. Eventually the person will die, of course, due to the shock of losing their light." Envy looked Guardian in the eye and continued.

"I told you that I want you to die, pipsqueak, but you don't deserve a quick death like you gave Lust. Your death will be slow and painful as you wallow in darkness when the light is gone from your soul."

Guardian stiffened at his words and felt Fai's arms grip her tighter. The magician looked at Envy with pure hatred in his blue eyes and snarled, "You won't do that to Guardian. ...I won't let you...none of us will."

Envy laughed maniacally at Fai then said, "There's nothing you can do about that, magician. I'm going to make that little pipsqueak suffer for what she has done and there's nothing you can do to stop me."

Envy transformed before their eyes, making the Hosts stare out of pure horror. He grinned evilly and knocked them all away from him, Guardian, and Fai. Tamaki noticed that this was getting ugly really fast and told the other Hosts to get the guests out of Music Room 3 to one of the libraries fast so that they wouldn't get hurt. They all agreed and left, but Haruhi stayed despite Tamaki's protests. She wanted to help the others any way she could despite the danger. Tamaki reluctantly agreed and the both went to help their friends.

Then Envy turned back to Guardian and Fai. The magician held the little Ranger close to his body and his blue eyes were burning with immense anger and hatred towards Envy. The Homunculus just smirked and knocked Fai away from Guardian. The magician was thrown into the opposite wall and crumpled into a heap upon the floor.

"FAI!" Guardian screamed and was about to run to her fallen friend when Envy grabbed her leg. She looked up at his grotesque face and growled at the smirk plastered on it. "You're not going anywhere, pipsqueak. Plus I do believe that I asked you for a dance earlier tonight. If you don't want your friends to suffer the same fate as you, I suggest you take up the offer."

Guardian stared at him wide eyed then looked at her friends. They were shaking their heads 'no' and their eyes told her not to sacrifice herself. ...But she couldn't let Envy do that to them. If anyone was going to get their light taken from them...Guardian would rather it be her than her friends. Her mind was made up. Guardian hung her head, her chocolate locks hiding her eyes, and said, "All right, Envy. But please promise that none of the others will suffer my fate."

Envy smirked down at her and said, "I promise, pipsqueak. I have other ways of killing them."

Then the Homunculi let go of Guardian and transformed back into his humanoid form except he was wearing the black outfit he was wearing pretending to be Lucas. Envy strutted over to the CD player and pressed play. As the melody played, Guardian recognized the song: ...El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge. Envy extended his hand out to her with a smirk and Guardian reluctantly took it. With a smile that made Guardian's blood run cold, Envy pulled her up from the floor. He started a fast paced waltz as the melody started to play and Guardian threw in some ballet twirls and spins to keep Envy away from her for part of the dance.

Will drive you…will drive you…will drive you…MAD!

Roxanne, you don't have to put on that red light; walk the streets for money.

You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right.

Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight.

Roxanne, you don't have to sell your body to the night.

As Envy twisted her in a circle, Guardian caught a glimpse of her friend's faces, but the one face that made her turn her head away was Fai's. She could bear to look at his face now…not as she was dancing with Envy to protect him and the others if only for a few moments. But even though she was only doing this to save them from the pain she was going to suffer, Guardian could feel her heart and spirit breaking little by little as the sadness washed over her in waves. She felt like she was betraying the magician….betraying her unexpressed feelings for him and their friendship as she danced with Envy.

Kurogane had rushed to Fai's side when the magician was thrown into the wall and asked frantically when Fai came to, "Fai! Fai, are you hurt?"

Fai stiffly sat up and said, "I'll be fine. Where's Guardian?"

Then Kurogane turned to look at where their friend was and Fai looked as well. The wizard watched in horror as Guardian danced with Envy and felt his heart ache when Guardian looked at him for a moment then quickly her face away from his gaze. He could have sworn that there were tears in her eyes. Then Fai turned back to Kurogane and asked, "What is she doing?"

The warrior sighed and replied still looking at Guardian, "Envy had asked Guardian earlier to dance with her when he was still disguised as Lucas. He told her that if she didn't, then the rest of us would share her fate...by having the light within ourselves along with hers sealed in that stone. Guardian's sacrificing herself and doing whatever Envy says so that we don't have to suffer like she's going to."

Fai's blue eyes widened in horror before he turned his gaze back to Guardian, sorrowful tears welling up in his eyes, making his vision blur slightly. She's willing to die…just so she can save us from the same suffering she's going to endure. It's not fair… She's had to endure so much already. It's not fair. Then Fai noticed that something was off in her dancing. Guardian wasn't dancing like she was when she and the Hosts were teaching Kurogane and Syaoran how to waltz with a smile and a little spring in her step. Her dancing was sorrowful and filled with grief and the usual spring in her movements was gone. Seeing her like this made his heart break and sorrowful tears fell done his pale face.

His eyes upon your face…

His hand upon your hand...

His lips caress your skin…

It's more than I can stand!

Roxanne.

Why does my heart cry?

Roxanne.

Feelings I can't fight.

You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me and, please, believe me when I say, "I love you."

Guardian broke away from Envy and started to dance by herself, her sadness and grief apparent in every movement of her body. The Homunculus watched her dance with a smirk and grinned like a Cheshire cat when the little alchemist sank down to floor, her shoulders shaking and her head bowed. He walked over to her with the Garner Stone in hand. She didn't even look up when he stood in front of her. Guardian wouldn't let him see her tears.

"Are you ready to give up your light, pipsqueak?" Envy asked with an evil smirk. Guardian still didn't look up at him, but quietly nodded her head, preparing herself for what was going to happen next. But nothing could have prepared her for what she was going to experience.

Envy smiled evilly and the Garner Stone glowed bright red, the facets glowing bright gold. Guardian felt something tug painfully in her chest before it felt like something was being ripped out from somewhere deep inside of her. She cried out in agony as her light started to leave her and settle within the Garner Stone and the little alchemist collapsed upon the floor, clawing into the marble as the pain increasingly got worse. Nothing, not even the wounds that had been inflicted upon her during the battle back in Amestris, compared to the pain she was experiencing now. It was like her very soul was being ripped from her body.

Envy smiled as Guardian squirmed on the floor as the light from inside her was extracted bit by bit into the stone in his hand and savored each of her cries and gasps of pain.

Roxanne, you don't have to put on that red light.

Why does my heart cry?

Feelings I can't fight.

You don't have to wear that dress tonight…Roxanne.

Roxanne, you don't have to put on that red light.

Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight

ROXANNE!

Roxanne.

Roxanne.

With a final cry, the last of Guardian's light left her body and the little alchemist fell into an unconscious state as her spirit was put into a deep sleep to cope with the shock of Guardian losing her light. She was slowly dying from the shock of losing her light.

Fallin shook her head in disbelief, her eyes wide and filling with tears. This was not happening...it couldn't. But the proof was lying on the floor in the form of her comatose friend and Guardian's light trapped within the stone in Envy's hand, making it glow crimson. "GUARDIAN!" she cried before rushing over to her comatose friend, the others close behind her.

"Guardian! Guardian! Wake up, please! Don't leave us!" Fallin pleaded, holding her friend in her arms, but Guardian didn't wake up. Her face was deathly pale, the pain that she had experienced still lingering in her features, and her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping, but Fallin knew better. Tamaki came up to them and put one hand near Guardian's mouth and nose, relieved that she was still breathing.

"She's still breathing, Fallin. But it's very faint. I'm not sure if she's going to last much longer without her light," Tamaki said sadly as Fallin started to sob, holding her friend even closer.

"You BASTARD!" Fallin seethed as she whipped her gun up to aim at Envy's head, but the Homunculus simply smirked and lashed out a hand, knocking the gun out of Fallin's hand across the marble floor. Fallin scrambled to get it and in the meantime, Envy grabbed a hold of Princess Sakura, holding her in front of him. Fallin finally grabbed hold of her gun and aimed it at Envy, staring at him in horror when she realized he was holding the Princess hostage.

"What is it, little Ice Alchemist?" Envy taunted. "You don't want to hurt your precious friend now, do you? Then don't shoot me." Fallin's jaw clenched in anger, and she pointed the gun again, right at Sakura's forehead. "No!" Syaoran screamed reaching for Sakura, but Kurogane held him back.

"Fallin knows what she's doing." Syaoran stepped back, relieved only slightly. Fallin placed her finger on the trigger.

"No," Sakura whispered. "Fallin, please!" Fallin simply closed her eyes and grimaced as she pulled the trigger.

Fallin: Guardian is right. I am the Queen of Plot Twists. :D But Guardian did write most of this chapter.

Guardian: But don't forget, girlie. You gave me the inspiration for this part. You wrote most of the backbone and I just filled in the details for this chapter and the last one.

Fallin: True. Well, we hope that you all enjoyed this chapter!

Guardian: And we think that we know what you all are wondering... Is Guardian going to live? What about Sakura? Is the Princess going to be all right? Find out in the next chapter. :)
