Syaoran stood in a fighting stance watching his opponent unsheathe his sword. Ryou placed his sword above his head making it point towards Syaoran while his other hand had 2 fingers together pointing upwards.

Ryou ran towards Syaoran and jumped to attack him from above. Syaoran saw the obvious attack and simply dodged Ryou's sword. But he didn't expect him to swing around on his sword and kick him in the stomach. Syaoran skidded back and held his stomach. Ryou took this advantage and ran towards him with his sword stretched out. Syaoran rolled across on the ground and swung his sword towards Ryou's legs. He managed to make a small slash on his ankle but nothing more. Ryou smirked and disappeared and reappeared behind Syaoran.

Syaoran's eyes widened and thought he was done for. But Ryou's sword did not touch his body, he looked behind him and saw Sakura standing near a tree to support herself. Still weak from the drug, she ran towards Ryou and tried to use any of her cards to attack him. He simply smile, pointing a finger at Sakura, with a flick of his wrist she froze.

He walked up to her and reached for her cheek. "Don't you DARE touch her!" Syaoran roared furiously while charging towards Ryou. Ryou slyly smiled and swung his large sword at Syaoran, succeeding in making a deep cut on his shoulder. Wincing at the slight pain, Syaoran growled and starting attacking Ryou at every advantage he had.

Sakura watched her love and the stranger engage into a fight. She felt helpless just watching them fight. I must stay strong! For Syaoran-kun! she thought confidently. So how do I get out of this annoying spell so I can go and help Syaoran she thought annoyed. Her face lightened, she focused on creating a barrier around herself.

Sparkling sounds were heard. She smiled and freed herself from the still spell. Once she felt her energy rush through her. She summoned the water card and a stream of floating water formed in mid-air. She smirked and started to flick her wrist around. The water started whipping Ryou on the legs and arms.

Ryou felt annoyed because he was against 2 powerful beings but kept his hopes up. He smirked when he heard a bush rustling. About time back up arrived…he sighed mentally. Sakura didn't notice the figure behind her, she was too busy having fun whipping the grey eyed teen. The figure crept up behind her and hit her behind her neck. Sakura felt pain rush through her body like a wave and then she fell unconscious for the third time that day.

The mysterious figure caught her before she collapse on the ground and placed her at the trunk of the same tree she was sleeping on. Ryou saw his help do his job and smiled evilly.

Syaoran didn't notice that evil smile plastered on Ryou's face. He turned around to look at Sakura, he saw her sleeping for the second time that day, he growled in anger. "Oh don't worry about your little blossom…she is just taking another…how should I say it?…long sleep…" Ryou informed Syaoran.

The fight went on for hours. Finally both competitors showed clear signs of tiredness. Syaoran had cuts and bruises while Ryou had minor injuries. Great swordsman…great tactics and most of all: powerful love towards Sakura…I guess I will give him the results…Ryou thought. He lowered his sword and bowed to Syaoran. Syaoran wandered what he was doing but also lowered his sword "What is it?" he asked. Ryou lifted his head and smiled "You've proven to me that you are worthy of Sakura, so I will not stand in your relationship."

Syaoran's shoulders relaxed from their tensed position and fell back onto the ground. He needed a minutes rest before he returned to his precious cherry blossom. When he finally caught his breath, he advanced towards his sleeping blossom. She was sleeping peacefully again against the hard trunk of the oak tree.

He sat quietly next to her and watched her sleeping face. It was still night time, it's probably 2am by now…Syaoran guessed. He sat there and stared into the night for awhile, while staring he had an idea.

He turned towards the still sleeping girl and was pleased to see her shirt revealing her collar bone. He ducked and sucked on her sweet soft flesh. He pulled back to see a red spot saying that she has been claimed, just then Sakura woke up. Her vision was blurry at first but after blinking a couple of times she saw Syaoran smirking. She lifted an elegant brow and gave him a questioning look.

He continued the smirk and moved his face closer towards hers. Sakura blushed and stayed motionless til Syaoran's forehead was touching hers. Their noses brushed against each other and Sakura closed her eyes and Syaoran closed the gap between them.

The kiss was filled with passion. Sakura was surprised at first but responded to the kiss. Syaoran nipped her bottom lip and she gasped, he took the chance and slipped his tongue in. Their tongues battled for dominance but in the end Syaoran won.

They parted for air. Sakura was blushing and panting while Syaoran took long deep breaths. He lifted Sakura from her position and placed her between his legs and her back on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her stomach and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Mine…" he whispered in her ear.

"Yours…" she whispered back.
