Chapter Four: Li Syaoran
Sakura waited until she was sure that Li wasn't there any more before
looking around, the park was deserted, and it was getting dark. Sakura
picked herself off the snow-covered ground and started to brush
herself off. Sakura spotted blood seeping into the snow and in the
same instance felt a stinging at her neck, fearfully she placed a hand
to her throat and felt warm blood, she gasped and pulled her hand
away. Li had hurt me, she whispered to herself, he has never hurt me
physically before, and with that Sakura picked up her school bag and
ran home.
Tori watched his sister race through the front door and upstairs, the
look on her face pulled Tori after Sakura.
"Sakura..... are you alright?" Tori asked quietly. He could hear her
crying
"I'm fine, just leave me alone." She called out smothering her face
into her pillow. Tori stood at her door and waited but after five
minutes he gave up and went back down to the kitchen to cook tea.
DING DONG
"Sakura, Madison is here" Tori called up to Sakura before letting
Madison in. Sakura came down stares pale and misty-eyed, Madison
smiled warmly at Sakura before following her upstairs, there was none
of their usual friendly hellos or anything, it was just a bleak hello.
When they reached Sakura's room Madison turned to Sakura.
"Ok, now tell me what happened" She said softly. Sakura looked at her
friend and burst into tears, Madison held Sakura until her tears
subsided enough for her to talk.
"It was Li...*sniff*...he, he turned on me, with his sword and said
that I would die then he was going to kill me, oh Madison I have never
been so scared in my life, the look that he gave me was...." Sakura
couldn't finish; she broke down and cried again.
"Shhh, its alright Sakura." Madison consoled. "Did he hurt you?"
Sakura nodded and showed Madison her neck, she gasped and stood back.
"Have you shown Tori?" Sakura shook her head fast.
"If I do he'll kill Li."
"He deserves it."
"Madison" Sakura gasped, but Madison had a set look on her face
"He does." Sakura quickly changed the subject
"So do you have to costume?" Madison nodded distractedly and gave the
costume to Sakura then left the room so she could try it on.
"I'm finished" Sakura called through the door, Madison walked in and a
smile spread across her face, Sakura looked stunning in the outfit,
and beautiful, much better then Meilin and Li, Madison grimaced as she
thought about Li, he will pay for what he did to Sakura.
"So how do I look?" Sakura asked spinning on the spot so that Madison
could see the whole costume all around. Madison smiled as she walked
over to Sakura; she pulled and straightened until the costume was
perfect.
"Now, how about walking me home, it's late and no one will see you,
plus we need to try it out, make sure that its flexible and durable."
Madison smiled and Sakura smiled back, a little unwilling to leave the
house, but Madison was right, the costume needed testing.
"Oh I almost forgot, here." Madison placed a little set on wings onto
the costume and stood back. "It's a camera, so I don't have to lug
around one with me. Sakura smiled at Madison, she knew there would
have to be a camera somewhere.
"Alright, but we will have to be quiet, I don't want Tori seeing me
like this." Madison nodded and took the lead to the front door. "I'm
just walking Madison home Tori, ill be back before long" and before
tori could reply Sakura and Madison ran out of the front and down the
street. Both laughed and smiled ruefully at each other. They walked
along forgetting about Li as they talked about school and how boring
Mr Fajitsu is and how stupid the latest movie was, then the subject
went to Tri Dan, the new student, Sakura shivered when that name was
brought up.
"She's weird, and I like most people."
"Everybody" Madison butted in.
"Oh alright everyone but not her, she gives me the creeps."
"Well she isn't a very nice girl, rather nasty really." Sakura
laughed, Madison was giving honest points of views now, instead of
being nice.
Sakura turned her gaze to the sky and sighed, it was beautiful, and
she sighed before looking back at Madison, they had reached the park
and Sakura stopped, she looked fearfully around at the shadows
thinking maybe Li might be waiting to finish her off, but as she
turned back to Madison she jumped back. Madison was looking at her
almost appraisingly.
"Well now Sakura, you do look way too much alive." Madison whispered,
and she produced a large dagger that gleamed in the moonlight eerily.
"Madison?" Sakura asked, taking another step back, wondering where on
earth Madison had got a weapon. Madison moved quickly giving Sakura
only little time to move backwards to avoid the dagger.
"Madison what are you doing? I'm you friend Sakura, its me...." Sakura
moved backwards again. Madison stopped and laughed.
"You are not my friend, you're nobody's friend, why do you think li
attacked you? Nobody cares for you Sakura, not me, not Li, not Tori,
everybody wants you dead, they hate just looking at you, and that's
why you must die Sakura, because we hate you, I hate you and I always
have." Sakura stared dumbfounded at Madison, tears prickled her eyes,
nobody? She asked herself, no that cant be true, Sakura took a step
towards Madison hoping that she could appeal to her in some way, to
tell her that they were friends, but this was what Madison was waiting
for and in a split second had moved quickly in front of Sakura and had
plunged the dagger into Sakura's stomach, Sakura cried out and looked
down, Blood seeped her clothes and poured out onto the ground. Madison
pulled the dagger out smiling, Sakura took no notice, she watched to
blood run through her fingers and she took a stumbling step backwards,
tearful eyes looked at Madison.
"Why?" Madison looked back at Sakura, the smile gone, a look of horror
on her face.
Syaoran turned around and headed back to the Park, it was all a dream,
it had to be, or a figment of his imagination, and if it wasn't? If...
no he said to himself, I wont think about it, it cant be true, Syaoran
hurried his footsteps rebounding all over the deserted road. He turned
to corner, the park in full view and he watched as Madison stabbed
Sakura, and pull out the dagger, Li sucked in his breath, no, it was
just a trick of the light, just a trick, he began running closer to
them, just a few feet away he saw blood hit the snow and the snow eat
it up staining the whiteness a dark red.
"SAKURAAA!" Li yelled, he ran forwards and grabbed her before she
fell. She was gasping in pain, tears in her eyes repeating the same
words
"Why?" Li starred at Madison who starred back. Li's gaze then went to
the dagger Madison still had clutched in her hand. Madison followed
his eyes to the dagger and dropped it quickly like it had burnt her
hand. She then fell to her knees in front of Sakura, Forgive me,
please forgive me. Li turned back to Sakura she was groaning and
clutching at her stomach with one had the other was biting painfully
into Li's arm.
"We have to get her to the hospital." Li said standing up awkwardly
with Sakura in his arms. Madison nodded dumbly and followed more
slowly. They both stopped suddenly as angry cries filled the still
evening air. Shouts of abuse, cashing and gunfire could be heard.
"What is that?" Madison asked moving closer to Li. Li turned back
towards to park and placed Sakura under a cherry tree. Dark clouds
gathered overhead unnoticed.
"It's a card." Syaoran said. "Sakura, we need you." He whispered, she
starred up at him, and their eyes locked, "please Sakura, we need
you." He stroked her hair out of her eyes. Sakura started to cough up
blood. And Madison howled making such a racket that Sakura and Li were
distracted for a moment, but it soon became apparent why she was
making such a noise, in the distance there was a fire going and the
fire was at the hospital, the closest on to where they were, the other
one was too far away, and all three realised that maybe Sakura might
not make it. Sakura tried top smile but it was more of a grimace
because pain racked through her trembling body.
"I'm going to die aren't I?" Sakura asked, quietly, turning her face
to look at Li
"No, I wont let you die, I wont." Li's voice was chocked with pain as
his hands went to her wound, they fluttered above it.
"What do I do? Please some one help, I.. I don't...help...I don't know
what to do.." Syaoran cried out, while brushing Sakura's hair back,
and caressing her skin.
"I'm cold." She whispered.
"What?" Li asked leaning so close to her that she could feel his warm
breath on her cheek.
"I'm cold," she said again, shivering more noticeably. Li looked at
her before sighing, he didn't have a jacket on him. He looked at
Madison but she needed her jacket. Li stood up and pulled out his
sword, Sakura shrank from it and Li winced from her movement now
knowing he couldn't say it was just a dream.
"Force Know my plight
Release the Light
Fire"
Fire shot out of Syaoran's sword and caught fire to a few twigs that
were near Sakura. Sakura smiled and tried to move closer to the
warmth.
The shouting was drawing near, Madison pointed and they saw a few fire
brads moving towards to park, more were joining them, the yelling was
getting closer.
"Sakura, we need you to seal the card." Sakura grabbed Li's hand and
smiled tightly.
"I cant, you must capture it." She gasped
"But.. But you have to sealing wand." Sakura pulled they key from
around her neck.
"Oh key of Clow
Power of magic
Power of light
Surrender the wand
The force ignite
Release"
Sakura put all her energy into making the wand appear. Then she gave
it to Li with all her cards. Sakura was breathing heavily now and
sweat was dripping from her forehead.
"Sakura I cant, you are the card miss-" Sakura placed a cold finger to
Li's warm lips.
"Capture the card for me."
Tears welled into Li's eyes and he brushed the hair from her face. "I
will" he whispered, "wait for me" and he bent down and kissed her
gently on the lips before moving away to capture the card. Sakura
sighed and shivered again.
"Its very dark." Sakura whispered and her breathing became shallower,
blood flowed out her mouth "ill try" Sakura whispered to Li's
retreating form. Madison moved closer to Sakura and held her hand,
Sakura shivered uncontrollably and she was gasping with every breath.
"Hurry Li" Madison called out softly watching the snow fell lightly to
the ground and scattered peacefully onto Sakura's white skin. A gust
of wind blew swiftly and the fire was blown out, leaving the park in
darkness.
Tri smiled as she watched the scene unfold around her, and she watched
as Sakura's life was slowly drifting away. Li was on his way but that
didn't bother her, no one could capture her, no one, and plus, Li
didn't know how to use the sealing staff, Tri felt very secure and
triumphant, everything was going smoothly.
