Part 2
"This boy…he's willing to give his life up for…a dead body?!" exclaimed an eire voice "To him, that body is his soul, his passion to fight or do anything but most importantly its his love, his heart…master" replied Huo sadly "He is know stronger, look at that face so much thirst for power," replied the voice "That is not thirst for power, it is thirst for revenge," explained Huo "What are you trying to say?" asked the voice "Master, I am saying that he is only fighting for the girl, not himself…without the girl our entire plan is ruind…we must bring her back…" cleared Huo "Never! She is our greatest obstilcle!" commanded the voice "But she is also what keeps the plan like it was…" replied Huo calmly. The erie voice didn't reply, it knew Huo was right "very well…the girl shall live but…"
The next morning, Madison came to Sakura's and Li's room and knocked like the day before, but this time no one answered. After knocking for 5 minutes Madison slowly opened the door and came in. "Hello…" she called "Anyonw home…Sakura…Li…am I intruppting?" 'they're not hear!' she thought. Madison's heart thumping fast "Sakura! Li!" she called again. She went over to the desk and found Li's note it said:
Dear Madison,
I've lost her. My precious Sakura's gone, Now I'v gone to find
Who did this to her…please don't worry about me, and don't
Tell the others, I will find who did this to my love, or die trying.
I swear On my soul
Sincerely,
Li, Showran
As soon as she read this, Madison started crying, he knees felt shakky. She fell hard but she didn't care, Sakura was gone…forever. "Sakura! Why did you leave me!" cried Madison. "She didn't,well atleast not yet…" said a voice from the door. Madison wiped her eyes and looked towards the door, it was Eriol. "Eriol? What do you mean?"she asked. "I mean Sakura can't go yet…you'll understand in the future…theres no time for explaining right now, we have to go find Li and Sakura," Eriol excplained he slid his arm across Madison's shoulder, but Madison pushed it off "Not now," was all she said. "I understand," Eriol assured "It's not like you really liked me anyway…" "Eriol how…why…" started Madison. "We'll talk about this later! Lets go!" called Eriol as he ran towards his bedroom.
"Stop! Go Back! Do it for me! Please! Go back!" Sakura's voice remained in Li's heart. He knew it was his Sakura talking but he was trying his hardest to ignore it, and so far he was loosing. He had sworn on his life to find who took Sakura away from him, and he will. It was almost dark, and he had to find a place to stay the night. He couldn't go home, Mya would definatly have something to say. As he walked with Sakura in his arms he couldn't help but blame himself for this. He should have never touched her the that night, then none of this teasing would have occered, and she wouldn't have slept separate. As Li thought of these events, it felt as if they happened years ago. "That smile, that voice…gone forever…" thought Li sadly. "Stop youngling!" yelled a voice from behind.
Li turned around and got his sword ready. "Don't worry boy, I am nothing but an old man…but I can help you," explained the old man. "And how can you help me? Unless you can bring the dead back to life," said Li brutly. "I can, but only for a small period of time and for a certain time everyday," replied the man. Li's eyes widened "You can! You must help me!" he exclaimed. "I will, but you must pay the price," warned the man "Anything! Just Save Sakura!" agreed Li. "My, my, this girl must mean a lot to you, for you to say yes to my price when you don't even know what it is," commented the old man. Li smiled "Yes…she means everything to me…" confessed Li. "I can sence she is the light in your life," whispered the man "Now lay her down here," the old man pointed to a cirlce. It was similar to Sakura's cirlce and Clow's cirlce, but something about it was different but he couldn't figure out what. "Now, we have to breathe the life into her, I am an old man so I cannot you will have to," explained the old man. "What do you mean 'breathe' the life into her?" asked Li, the old man smiled "You have to kiss her," Li blushed quickly "Ok," he agreed. "Wait you can't just kiss her, you have to drink a special spell, here take this," explained the old man as he handed Li a small round bottle filled with a black liquid. "You have to drink this and the girl must drink this," the man handed Li a bottle with white liquid. "Now go,"ordered the man. "Infront of you?" exclaimed Li "Why of coarse who else is going to say the incantation, now I must warn you…this girl can only come alive at night for 7 days," explained the man. Li was a bit diappointed but he had to start somewhere, "Ok," he agreed.
Li then drank the black liquid, it tasted awful! Then he gave Sakura the white liquid. "Now!" commanded the man. Li had never wanted to kiss Sakura because he was ordered to but he had no choice he bent down and his dry lips touched Sakura's soft delicate ones. Instantly the circle around them started to glow. Li looked at the man, he was reciting some kind of spell but Li couldn't figure what he was saying "Probably a different language," thought Li. Finally the ritual was complete. Li let go of Sakura's lips and waited for a reaction, nothing. "Nothings happening!" yelled Li but when he looked at where the man was sitting, there was no one.
"Li…" whispered a small voice. Li instantly looked down, and there on the ground was his beloved emerald eyed girl staring at him with both fear and delight. "Sakura…" Li whispered. Sakura instantly clung to Li's neck "Li! It's really you!" exclaimed Sakura. Li held onto Sakura just as tightly "Oh Sakura! I thought I wasn't ever goin to see you again!" exclaimed Li When they seperated they looked into eachother's eyes. Slowly they moved closer and closer, soon they were kissing a rough but passionate kiss. They kissed for a long while until Li suddenly remembered, Sakura could only come alive at night for a weeks. He had to tell her "Sakura I have bad news…" he started "I don't care," Sakura interrupted and before Li could say anythin else she engaged him into another long, rough kiss. Li couldn't bear to separate, he wanted to stay like this for the rest of his life, without a care in the world, but he knew it wasn't possible. He pushed Sakura away from him and stopped to catch his breath. "What's wrong Syaoran?" asked Sakura quietly "aren't you happy I'm back?" Li looked up with horror "Sakura! Why would you ever think that! You coming back is the greatest thing thay ever happened to me! Why wouldn't I be happy!" "Then why do I see sadness in you're eyes?" Sakura asked. "It because…because…you can only stay alive at night for 14 days!"
He had finally said it. "But I thought I was back forever, aren't I?" asked Sakura. Li looked down at his knees and began to cry. Sakura smile and lifted Li's chin. She looked straight into his eyes "I don't care, as long as I'm in you're arms, dead or alive," then closed her eyes and started to pull back but Li pushed the back of her head towards him and this time he kissed her. Li leaned gainst a wall and Sakura sat in his lap. They talked and caught up on stuff for the rest of the night until Sakura felt sleepy. "This time I'm not letting you go!" whsipered Li. "I'm sorry Syaoran, but I'm not going to wake up in the morinig remember?" reminded Sakura. "Oh yeah…" remembered Li. He hit the ground so hard his knukles started bleeding. "Syaoran!What are you doing!" shreiked Sakura. "Punishing myself," replied Li "Why?" she asked "Because I should've never touched you that night! Then the teasing wouldn't have happened and you would'v slept with me!" Sakura smiled and said "I'm glad you did what you did,"then she sighed "Chelsea was right, it was enjoyable," she added as she ripped a piece of her mini skirt and tied it around Li's knuckles. Soon it was about to be sunrise. Sakura looked at Li "time for me to go," then she quickly kissed Li on the cheek, and before Li could say anything she fell into her deep sleep, again.
"Hello, Madison? Yes, can I talk to the monster? No?! why not! Oh, ok call me back when she wakes up," Tori put down the reciver and stared up at the clear sky "Sakura, I know you're not asleep, where are you and what are you doing?" thought Tori. "You know she's in some kind of trouble, don't you?" asked a voice from behind. Tori turned around only to discover Yue standing there wioth his arms crossed and that blank expression on his face. "Yeah…and I know the twerp is with her! Who knows what he's doing to her," wondered Tori "Li is going to protect Sakura with his life, and you know it. Why else did you send her on that trip? Because you trust him, even above all that, you still lie to yourself…why?" asked Yue "Because, I don't want to loose another loved one," replied Tori plainly "Isn't that being selfish?" asked Yue cooly. "Just shut up and mind your own business, hey you're her guardian why don't you where she is?" Tori replied "Because I can't feel her soul," explained Yue. "But Sakura's alive! I can feel her! Why can't you?!" exclaimed Tori. "You have a blood relation with her, some of the magic runs in you're viens now, so you can sence her faintly," explained Yue. "What do we do now?" asked Tori frusterated "We wait, this isn't for us to interfere in," replied Yue Tori just looked up in shock, but he didn't say anything because he also felt that warning sign.
"Hmmmm," "What's wrong master?" asked Huo "I don't like this one, Tori," explained the voice he might interfere," "Yes, but what can he do? He's powerless," pointed out Huo. "Do not underestimate people Huo, this boy may look weak but he can be as strong as Yue and Cerberus combined," the voice explained. Huo nodded and went to the room with the capsule. "Are you feeling the pain?" she asked the boy inside. The boy moved as if nodding 'yes'
Madison sat sadly on a wooden chair. She was waiting for Eriol to get of the phone. He had called Ms. McKenzie for help. Finally she heard the clicking of the reciever. Madison got up as Eriol came out of the room "So?" she asked. Eriol sighed "I'm sorry," he looked up "There's nothing we can do but hope," Madison's eyes widended "What do mean?!" she exclaimed. "I mean we can't track or Sakura because we can't sence her soul," explained. "Then that means…" whispered Madison "Yes…" sighed Eriol "She's dead.." Tears began to fall from Madison's cheeks, she covered her face with her hands. Eriol hugged her "It's ok, we'll find a way…" he assured her.
Li huffed and puffed, he had been running for 30 minutes, only stopping for a drink of water twice. He had Sakura on his back, and she was as pale as ever. Li looked at his watch, it was 6:00 and the sun had begun setting. He began running again, he was going to the Amber Forest. It was far from the city, and was a great place to hide Sakura until he found a cure for her. "Don't worry…huf…ha…ha…I'll save you Sakura," he whispered. A few minutes later, Li was so tired he colapsed near a tree, taking care Sakura didn't get hurt. He looked at the sun one last time, then he layed Sakura on top of one of his small blankets his so she wouldn't have to lay on the cold dirty ground. Finally he fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of a better life.
"Huh? Where am I?" thought Sakura as she got up and looked at her surroundings. She looked at her watch, it was 7:00. She looked around once more too confirm where she was. Suddenly she heard a small breathing noise. She gotup on her knees and hugged herself. "Who…Who's there?" she stummered. When no one answered, she got up and felt around, she felt a warm, and soft thing under her palm. When the clouds moved, and the moonlight shown Sakura saw what she was touching. It was a hand! Sakura pulled her hand back and looked at who it belonged to. "Li!" she whispered, but quickly regretted it because she saw hw was sleeping. "He looks tired, and he's been running…" thought Sakura "All for me." She got up and went to find some fire wood. She came back with lots of small sticks and twigs, but when she tried to light a fire she accidentally priked herself. She let out a little yelp. She quickly turned around to see if she has woken Li up. "He looks asleep," she thought so she went back to work. Little did she know, Li was awake but he didn't want Sakura thinking she woke him up so he watched as she cut and bruised her hands. Finally she couldn't take it anymore, he got up, went up beside Sakura and grasped her hands. Immediately he blew on the bleeding finger and surprisingly took her bleeding finger in his mouth! Sakura's eyes widend "Li…what are…you doing?" asked. Li took her wound away from his mouth and looked up at Sakura. "What does it look like?" he asked sarcasticly "I can't see you get hurt, you're already half dead," "I'm sorry…" sobbed Sakura "I didn't mean to worry." Li smiled I'm not worried…I'm concerned, I pledged to keep you safe and I will," Sakura smiled "I know, thank you."
When Finally the fire had been lit by Li, the two sat shoulder to shoulder against a tree.. Sakura hugged her knees and tilted her head on Li's shoulder, while Li hugged Sakura's shoulder's with one arm and rested on the other one. "Li…" whispered Sakura "Do you think we'll ever liva a normal life?" Li didn't know what to answer. "Maybe…but I don't care, I don't want a normal life," he finally said. Sakura looked up at him innocently "What do mean? Don't you want a peacful life?" she asked "Yeah, but not normal…remember having an abnormal life brought us together, if all those events didn't happen then I would've never come to Japan or Reedington Elemantary," replied Li. Sakura just nodded in agreement. There was a moment of silence as Sakura and Li watched the blazing fire roar silently. Suddenly Sakura senced a movment from behind. She turned to look, but there was no one, or thing. "What's wrong?" Li asked sleepily "Nothing," Sakura answered then she got up. "Where are you going?" Li exclaimed as he grasped her hands. Sakura turned and looked Li, she smiled and stood straight. "I'm not going anywhere, except to find a way to make you happy," then she sat down on her knees right where she was standing and gazed at the fire. Li got up and walked over and sat beside her, then he faced her and stared at her for a minute. Finally Sakura looked at him, her eyes were filled with sorrow. "That's not you're job," he whispered as he layed down and rested his head on her knees, facing straight up "It's mine…" Sakura didn't say anything she just forced a smile and brushed his hair gently. "We have to start planning soon, its already been 2 nights," whispered Li "Yeah, but not now, now we can only rest," replied Sakura as she bent down and kissed Li lightly on the lips. Li forced a smile but turned to the roaring fire so Sakura couldn't see his tear filled eyes. They were silent for the rest of the night, both of them were busy in their own thoughts wondering what they did to deserve this pain…
Madison lay on her bed in her house, she was filled with thoughts. "She really did die…but how? Li would've never let that happen…not while he still loved her…" she thought. Madison wanted any reason to believe that her, no Li's, Sakura was alive. "Li's…" whispered Madison, she felt tears roll down her eyes. She didn't want to feel jelous but she was, she was jealous of Li. She knew Sakura loved him, more than just a friend or even a boyfriend. Sakura loved him more than she loved anyone else in the world, their love was unlimited. Thinking of all this made Madison heart hurt, she could feel her heart rip into 2 pieces "Why Sakura…what don't I have?" Finally Madison cried her to sleep, but she had made up her mind, she was leaving first thing in the morning…to save Sakura and show her that she could love her just as much.
"Amazing…this girl is also going to risk her life for that other girl…" whispered the voice "Yes, seems like this girl is their main strength, without her the story will end and so will their lives…" replied Huo. "It is only a matter of time before they all die out andi will have what I want…" said the voice as it made a fist. Huo nodded and left.
"I have to do something!" shouted Eriol has he got up from his desk and punched it "Sakura can't be dead! She just can't! that much power can't be erased that easily, and Li must have done something to protect her! And for got sake I don't even know how she died!" Eriol was just as frusterated as Madison, he wanted Madison so badly that he was willing to do anything to gain her love, so he had thought of a plan. He was going to save Sakura. "I'll try traking Li again, maybe I'll catch him this time," he thought. He walked over to his circle and rose his staff. He whispered somewords and closed his eyes. There was a flash of light and the circle glowed with power. When Eriol opened his eyes he could see a forest. He could feel magic coming from every direction. "What is this?" he thought "shy do I feel so much magic?" He walked a bit and suddenly all the other magic disappeared! Only one remained. Eriol quickly started to follow, when he got to the source he couldn't believe his eyes "Li…Sakura," he whispered. Sakura was sitting infront of a fire and Li was lying down on her lap. Suddenly everything went black! Eriol took a step back "What…what's happening?" he stummered. "I'm happening!" roared a voice from behind. When Eriol turned around her saw black, lifeless eyes staring at him. The eyes got closer and closer. Eriol got his staff ready "Who are you and what have you done with Sakura?!" demanded Eriol. The eyes turned out to be a face, it was pale and had a strange tatto on it's forhead, it smiled and evil smile and replied "I did to them…what I'm going to do to you!" and it struck Eriol with a a spell Eriol had never seen before. "Aaaah!" cried Eriol in pain. Blood dripped from his chest, he was gone, he was dead.
"I'm coming!" whispered a hoarse voice. "No!" shouted Fye as he sat up straight on his bed "What…what's wrong with me!" Fye got off his bed and walked out of his room. He walked downstairs to the kitched and poured himself a glass of water. He took a big gulp and put the glass on his kitchen table. "Why am I having so many strange dreams? I thought the he was sleeping…" thought Fye "Maybe it's a warning, but a warning for what…? Oh My God! Sakura!" Fye quckly went to his bathroom and changed into some jeans and a sweater. He put on his running shoes and raced out of the house. He ran to Li's house, and when he got there he stopped to catch his breath. Then he rung the door bell. Surprisingly Meilin answered "Fye!" she exclaimed.
"What are you doing here? And at thins time of night?" she asked "No time for questions, I need to tell you something very important!" he said as he huffed and puffed. "O…k, you looked tired come in come in," she offered. Fye walked inside as he thanked Meilin. Little did they know that they were being watched.
"So…he's the magician…he dosen't look that strong, infact he looks weak. Lets see how he does against…black magic!" whsipered Mya with a cackle.
Mean while Fye told Meilin about what had happened. "What! But Madison said Li had gone with Sakura to another park north of Reedington!" exclaimed Meilin as Fye told her the awful truth. "Yeah…I know, she told the samething to everyone else at school," confessed Fye "But she did it for the greater good! She didn't want anyone to worry, sadly I don't know anything else." There was a moment of silence as Meilin tried to absorbe the truth, she looked up at Fye "But how do you know that Madison didn't want anyone to worry?" she asked suspiciously. Fye hesitated "Well…uh…can't you tell? Madison was almost about to cry…" "Well maybe she was crying because she loves Sa…yeah I guess you're right," meilin answered. She was almost about reveile Madison's deepest secret to a guy whom she had just met a few months ago. "Because she loves Sakura? No Meilin, Madison wasn't crying because of that, she was crying for a reason you'lll never understand," thought Fye. "So why are you here?" asked Meilin trying not to sound rude. Fye quickly jumped back into reality "Oh, ya since Madison hasn't told anyone the whole truth, maybe we or you should go and talk to her…you know, just to sort things out and see what's really going on," said Li hopefully. "Meilin nodded "You're right! Let's go!" she grabbed Fyes wrist and headed towards the door.
"Uh uh uh!" said Mya as she stopped them dead on their tracks "You're not going anywhere! Well not while I'm here," "Mya!?" Meilin exclaimed "Mya move! We don't have time for you're stupoid games!" Mya pouted "But Meiwin…" she said in a cute voice "If I let you go you'll find out the truth then you'll go help Syoawan and then that stupid Sakura girl will live and me and Syaowan won't live happily aver after!" Meilin's eyes widened "Will…live…what's that supposed to mean!" she exclaimed but before she could say anything Mya tried to zap her with a bolt of black lighting! Meilin shut her eyes.
Lukily Fye came in the way and blocked it "Are you ok?" he asked. Meilin opened her eyes and say Fye, glowing with blue enerygy "Fye…" she whispered. "Yeah yeah, he can do magic! Big deal! But can he do this!" Mya exclaimed as she lifted herself into the air. Meilin watched in aw as Mya began to glow, suddenly there was a blinding light.
When Meilin and Fye opened their eyes again infront of them stood, not Mya, but a tall girl dressed in black. She had black lifeless eyes filled with nothing but anger and the thirst to kill. Her skin was pale and she had a fancy symbol 'Ø' on her forehead. Her hair was tied back in a pont tail with two sharp bangs coming out of the sides, it was black with red highlights. She was wearing a long black dress, with red embroidery and lining. It was torn from the botton and ripped from one of the sides. They could see she was wearing long boots with knife sharp heals. "Cool, huh?" she said arrogantly "there's more where that came from, I'd show more, but I have to destroy now," she lifted her left hand and whispered a few words. Suddnely a a staff appeared infront of Mya. It was long and had a bid cresent moon with the same fancy symbol 'Ø' in the middle that connected to the moon by metal rods on the top and bottom.
Meilin couldn't believe here eyes! Was this really Mya?! Her cousin Mya! The girl who cried when Li wasn't home! Or giggled when someone blushed! The same childish Mya! "Mya…" she whsipered. Mya came down "Oh Mya is this really you! Oh my gosh!" imitated Mya "Put a sock in it Meilin, Yeah this is who I am, and this is what I can do!" she spun her staff like a baton and finally pointed it at Meilin "Bye bye," she said sweetly as she waved goodbye.
Power of Saturn
Present you're Power to me!
Come forth and Show you're true Form
I Command you to set you're Power Free!
Saturn!
Mya chanted a spell and suddenly there was bolt of light from the middle of the symbol, it worked its way up the metal roa and all around the staff. Meilin was too scared and confused to run. Before the spell could hit her Fye made a beautiful force field infront of her and the spell didn't hit her!
Mya looked at Fye angrily "You stay out of this!" she roared "I don't want to hurt you because you're not even in this!" Fye smirked "Oh, I get it…you're too scared, that's ok I would be too if I were you," as he shrugged. "Mya turned around and gave Fye a blood shot look "What?! Scared of…you?!" she exclaimed "You wish!" "Fine you're on!" agreed Fye calmly. Mya was confused, what was wrong this boy? Was he crazy? She smiled slyly "Ok…" she agreed, then she zapped Fye with a energy ball and cackled. "Fye!" shouted Meilin in fear "Yeah?" Fye asnwered calmly from behind her. Meilin turned and looked over her shoulder "How'd…how'd you get…here?" she stummered. Fye laughed "What part of 'yeah yeah he can do magic big deal!' don't you get?" he said as he helped her up. Mya made an angry look "Ok, that's it! no more Ms. Pretty Nice Girl!" she shouted and she stormed out. "Is she gone?" asked Meilin hopefully. Fye shook his head and pointed outside "She's preparing a spell to destroy you're house, I'll be right back," he smiled and walked outside. Meilin ran after him but she stopped dead on her tracks.
Fye's arms were spread out and he was glowing again. He began to float into the air. There was another blinding light, and when Meilin opened her eyes she saw…nothing. "Fye…" she whispered "What's happening?" "I'm sorry Meilin," said Fye. Meilin turned around and looked all around her "Where are you, Fye?!" she exclaimed. "Meilin, I'm sorry but you'll have to stay in here for a while…there are some…things…I don't want you to…uh…see," she heard Fye again. "But…!" shouted Meilin but she felt very sleepy and drowsy… "Who are…you?" was all she whispered before she dosed off.
