He heard her voice over the pounding rain, he heard it over the symphony of thunder and lightning but still he stayed. Sakura.. Why are you here.. All you'll do is make this harder on you.. On me.

Fai lowered his he just in time to see his Sakura…

No.

He lowered his head just enough to see Sakura pelting toward him her skirts flaring out behind her as if she still had her feathered wings. every fiber of his being, magical and human wanted to rush to her.

He wanted to kiss her lips and wrap his arms around her lithe body but no. Hitsuzen was against him, it was always against him.

Fai saw the desperate look in her normally twinkling eyes and it shocked him. His eyes fell on the crumbling stone walkway that Sakura continuously stumbled over and then he saw It.

Time slowed down as he saw black fog materialize on the side of the wall. Fai didn't breathe as he saw the man clad in black.. always black..

Fai first saw the sword, drawn and ready and knew someone was going to die... No.. No NO NO it's not suppose to happen... We're suppose to be safe here! God SAKURA!

"Sakura! Don't come ~

But it was too late.

He watched, paralyzed as man twirled his sword and raced toward the prince, the sword pointed and ready for the final kill. But she didn't see him. All she saw was Fai..

One, two three, He took the steps three at a time his hair flying, stinging him in the eyes.

Sakura held her arms out to him, a smile graced her lips… She never saw it coming.

"….Sakura!" A flash of silver ran up and into her chest, the smile plastered onto her pale face. Blood sprayed everywhere, contaminating the sacred ground.

The ground where she and Syaoran first meet, changing their fate forevermore. The ground where their love finally became something real… Something that would have been beautiful.

He felt it drain her strength and then he was screaming but he knew it was futile. Fai rushed forward, trying to catch her.

Fai wanted to hold her in his arms one more time but He watched as the Man threw her body back down the stone steps.

Then he vanished as quickly as he had come.

Fai flew down steps, cradling Sakura body. He tried to remove the sword branded between her breasts but Sakura held his hand.

"Fai.. It was always you." She smiled. And then she was gone.

The world wept with Fai as he held her life body allowing her blood to run onto him. He cradled her face, willing her to come back but he knew better.

Bitter tears followed down Fai's face as he laid Sakura's body on the sand, turning it a rusty brown.

He gently pulled the sword out, and gut wrenching sobs racked his body. He lay in the sand, a part of him dead with the girl he had loved and knew two things as he stared at the grey cloud filled sky.

He now lived to kill the man who took his heart and soul ad then.. Then it would be his time.

*hides behind my desk* please please pretty please don't kill me for this awful ending ;;.. I had this planned from the beginning but there may be a sequel if you my dear readers wish. Read, reviews are always loved.

Love,
