The Reawakening of the Mistress

Arukas???

Chapter 5

A/N: Hi's!!! I'm typing this on my other comp cause my laptop just isn't working too well this past month…. In for repairs right now ^_^ hopes it gets better! I thanks Avelyn Lauren again for her help with my story. Didn't quite understand some parts of it but I understood most of it. I've been doing the one line quote mark things for thoughts….. the line thing you said to use between chapters you mean between sections right? I use the little dot things for scene changes. As for the italics and bold things I'm going to ask around and hope I get some info ^_^ K k, here's the story

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS

A candle flickered slightly as a light breeze blew through the forest. Tomoyo held a match to the small flame, catching a part of it on fire before moving the match to another candle.

"Thanks for the help!" Sakura said as she settled down to the center of a circle of candles.

"Why do I have to do this…" grumbled Syaoran as he sat in another circle right outside in another circle of candles that already had all it's candles lit.

"Because you're the only person here that likes Sakura in the way that's needed!" Chiharu smiled as she saw a slight blush form on Sakura's face while an even redder blush formed on Syaoran's face.

"Um, let's start the ritual before my star gets drained more?" asked Sakura.

Takahashi smirked, "You just want us to stop talking about Syaoran's fe-"

"That's enough!" Syaoran almost shouted, hiding his blush by turning his head away.

"Awww, poor Syaoran," giggled Chiharu, "Doesn't want little Sakura to-"

"I said that's enough!" Syaoran hollered. His hands went for his sword pendant for a second before stopping. Chiharu opened her mouth to continue but saw the hand going for the pendant and shut her mouth.

"Be nice Syaoran!" Sakura admonished.

"B-but!" he stammered.

"She's got him collared," Takahashi whispered to Chiharu.

"And you two stop picking on him!" Sakura yelled at Takahashi and Chiharu. The two culprits bowed their heads in defeat.

"Well, know let's get started," Tomoyo said as she lit the last of the candles.

"Okays! Now we can begin the spell to stop my dark half from stealing too much energy from my star and stop the star from further becoming corrupted," Sakura stated as she closed her eyes for concentration.

"Erm, what exactly is this spell supposed to do?" asked Syaoran.

"It ties the two components of the spell aura's together so both aura's are untouchable by outside sources besides either components of the spell," Sakura stated.

"What does that mean?" asked Tomoyo.

"Well, it basically means the two people who are in the spell have their aura's tied together so no one can tamper with their aura's besides the two people involved in the spell," explained Sakura.

"So that means I can use your magic?" asked Syaoran.

"Uh, it wouldn't really be my magic, it would be our magic. And because the original spell is targeting my magic it wouldn't be able to lock on anymore so evil Sakura can't use anymore magic than what she already has and I won't loose anymore power!" Sakura smiled.

"Nice, so I get to use your magic!" Syaoran almost grinned.

"But since our aura's are tied together we can feel what the other is feeling and we can't stray too far from each other or we'll be in lotsa pain," Sakura continued.

"Eh, my thoughts for your magic, not a bad trade off in my opinion," Syaoran said.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, giving Syaoran control of your powers is a bit too much doncha think?" Takahashi pondered.

"W-wha? I'm completely trustworthy! I swear I won't use her powers for evil on the Li clan's name!" Syaoran said as if his dignity had been hurt.

"Well, I think Syaoran's very nice and trustworthy" Sakura said, a pleasant smile on her face.

Syaoran's face reddened, "Let's just get this thing started.

"All right then. Let's get started." Sakura nodded.

"I wonder how long this is supposed to take," Chiharu whispered to Takahashi as they watched Sakura draw some weird symbols in the air with her star wand.

"I don't know but it looks complex…" Takahashi muttered.

"I wonder what all those symbols mean," Chiharu asked.

"Well, I don't know too much about symbols but did you know that-"

"LIES LIES LIES!!!!" Chiharu screamed suddenly, killing , Tomoyo sweat dropping in the background.

"Okay, that's all there is!" Sakura said as she finished drawing symbols.

"That's it?" Syaoran asked, "then what the hell were the candles for?"

"Didn't you think the candles were pretty?" asked Sakura, teary eyed.

Syaoran felt a wave of sadness wash over him `aw crap, stupid, I made her sad and I have to pay for it,' thought Syaoran as a flash of guilt swept through him.

"Your regretting performing the spell?" asked Sakura, a sad look on her face.

"Er, it's not that, I felt, um, guilty…" mumbled Syaoran, staring at the ground between his feet.

"Oh…. I'm sorry…."

Syaoran looked up, "Please don't go all sad on me, you know it effects me as much as it effects you…"

"I'm sorry, I'll try to be happy more…."

"Er, uh, don't apologize, uh, argh," Syaoran said, frustrated.

Sakura giggled, "It's alright, it should be a bit confusing at first with all the emotions but you should get used to it."

"Well, we should get going now!" Tomoyo said cheerfully, "Chiharu, stop strangling Takahashi, we still need our doctor."

Chiharu gave a look of disgust at Takahashi before letting go of the poor doctor's neck and dragged his battered body behind her as she walked towards Tomoyo.

"Well Sakura, do you think you can teleport us into my base?" Tomoyo asked.

"Well, I would now that nothing is interfering with my powers but I wouldn't want to risk breaking the protective shielding in your base by teleporting past them. I can teleport right outside the gate though, how's that?" Sakura said.

"That would be fine,"

"Okay," Sakura rubbed her hands together and took out her wand, "here I go!" she struck the air with her wand. The air around them rippled and they found themselves in front of Tomoyo's base.

"Lady Tomoyo!" a soldier yelled from the top of the walls, "Lady Tomoyo has returned! Open the gates!"

The gates opened a few minutes later and the group walked in. A gaggle of girls ran towards Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo! What happened?" one of them asked.

"Where's Rika and Naoko?" another one asked.

Tomoyo lowered her head at the second question, a broken look in her eyes, answering the question of the second girl.

"Chiharu, Takahashi, you two should go rest up in your rooms, it's been a tiring journey. Yawasigana, please secure two rooms for Li and the sorceress, and can you please send some aspirin up to my room, I have an enormous headache…" Tomoyo said to a servant. The servant saluted Tomoyo before leading Sakura and Syaoran towards the guest rooms.

A murmur rippled through the crowds as words of the sorceress spread like wildfire. Whispers of how the sorceress was a girl and how beautiful or innocent she looked were said. A few lewd comments about how she might be in bed were made, usually followed by a resounding slap by a female friend angry at how perverted their friends were. And so marked the official arrival of the sorceress in Japan.

*************************************************************** *****

"So our corruption of her star was incomplete?" asked a man in the shadows.

"Yes my liege, but I have managed to create a dark half of her anyways," the hooded figure said.

"Ah, very good Ahiko, better then some other people I can name," the man in the shadows said, looking over at a frail old man who was holding a crystal ball.

"B-but master! I tried my best but she was the most powerful sorcerer on the planet! She interrupted the spell with overflow of her powers!" the frail man said.

"Tut tut tut, that's not the way the advisor to the lord should act Neshik," Ahiko said.

"Keep out of this!" Neshik yelled.

"Keep quiet you two!" roared the man in the shadows, "now, I have been thinking about this for some time and I've come to the conclusion that we should wipe out the good Sakura as soon as possible, it would be for the best."

"Eh, master, that is a good plan but…." Started the frail old man before trailing off.

"But what?" snapped the man in the shadows.

"Never mind, I'm sorry master for bringing up such an inane thing!" cowered the frail man.

"Stupid Neshik…." Ahiko grumbled.

"Now then, I think our Sakura and you, Ahiko, should be sufficient in taking apart the good little Sakura now that she's at half power." The man in the shadows said.

"Yes my liege," Ahiko said, bowing, before snapping his fingers. In an instant the dark Sakura appeared, wearing a black leather jacket and black leather pants. "Take me to the forest half a mile outside where your other half is."

"Are we killing her?" asked Sakura.

"Of course," Ahiko said.

"Alright!" Sakura grinned madly before waving her black star wand and teleporting them to their destination.

*************************************************************** *****

Syaoran settled into his bed as his mind thought through what had happened that day.

He had obtained the use of the powers of the sorceress, even if she wasn't at full power anymore. He was the "master" of the sorceress even if it wasn't one hundred percent control. And last of all he had become painfully aware of Sakura's emotions.

Syaoran sighed, `well, if I can use Sakura's powers I guess I'll at least get a high rank from the Li clan…'

*************************************************************** *****

Sakura lay in her bed, listening to the birds chirping outside. She could feel Syaoran was thinking what had happened that day.

`Did I do the right thing giving him control of my powers just so the other me can't? Was I being selfish?'

"Ugh, no, it was…. for the best…" Sakura thought out loud.

Sighing once more, Sakura got up to go to the bathroom. Tomoyo had explained all about the modern changes in the household as best she could. As she neared the door her heart lurched, "Hoe…" she said softly, "the bond seems to be shorter than normal… can't go further then this without being hurt."

*************************************************************** *****

Syaoran's head suddenly jerked up as he sat up, clutching his heart.

`What the fuck was that???'

For a moment he had felt as if his heart was about to be torn out of his body.

"Syaoran?" a pleasant voice floated in.

"Who is it?" he grunted as the pain in his heart subsided.

"It's me, Sakura, I need to use the bathroom…" he heard her mutter from the other side of the closed door.

"Use the on in your room," Syaoran snapped, looking out the window.

"Uh, there's a slight problem with that…" the shy girl said as she opened his door.

"What? Your bathroom isn't working?" Syaoran sneered.

Sakura almost giggled as she felt Syaoran's emotions burst around her as she stepped into his room.

"No…. the bond makes it so I can't go further then the door to the bathroom without feeling pain…"

`So that's what that pain was…'

Syaoran turned his head to say no when he saw Sakura standing there with her light pink dress around her. She was squirming with her need to go to the bathroom.

`Damn she's cute….'

Sakura giggled suddenly, "Nice to know you feel that way about me."

Syaoran groaned, "Ugh, just for that comment I'm not going to let you use my bathroom."

"Nani? Syaoran!" the flustered girl yelled, "Baka no aho Syaoran!"

"Work on your vocabulary, shouldn't have those words in there," Syaoran yawned nonchalantly.

"Syaoran! I'm going to use the bathroom with or without your consent!"

"I have the keys," Syaoran smirked triumphantly as he dangled the keys in front of him before dropping them into his pocket.

"Syaoran! I need to use the bathroom!" the girl squirmed.

"And miss out on watching you suffer? I think not," smiled Syaoran.

"SYAORAN!!!"

"What?" Syaoran said, looking as innocent as he could.

Sakura began to feel annoyed before a sudden thought struck her. She grinned evilly as a plan formed in her mind.

Syaoran almost gulped visibly as he saw the grin on Sakura's face, he turned his head away from her towards the window, hoping to avert her wrath to the branch right outside.

"Oooohhh Syyyaaaooorrraaannn!" Sakura sang.

"What?"

Syaoran turned to find that Sakura had a seductive look on her face as she was walking painstakingly slowly towards him.

"Why won't you let me go to the bathroom? You know how close it is to my time of the month…."

"W-what??? Er, uh," tried Syaoran as Sakura's face neared his.

Sakura leaned over him and Syaoran toppled over on his bed. Sakura leaned over him, her legs straddling his side, her face was so close o Syaoran's that he could feel her soothing breath washing over his face.

Sakura's hands slid down his waist and slowly went for his pockets. Syaoran was now sweating as he felt Sakura's hands work their way down to his pants.

Sakura's hands slipped into his pockets, fumbling around for the keys.

`W-what? It's her time of the…… wait a second….. how can she know if she just woke up and hasn't… the key!'

Syaoran struggled to break loose before Sakura got the key but she pulled the key out triumphantly.

"Yay! I win! I've got the key!"

"That's cheating! You! You!"

"I what?" smirked Sakura as she stuck her nose into Syaoran's face, savoring Syaoran's discomfort.

Suddenly, the sound of the door creaking open alerted both of them to another presence. They both jerked their heads to see Chiharu standing there.

"Oh! I'm sorry for interrupting you two!" smiled Chiharu mischievously as she moved to close the door.

Sakura and Syaoran, realizing how compromising their positions were, flipped off each other. Sakura blurted, "No! It's not that! I! It's not! The bathroom! The key! I!"

"She! I didn't! The key!" tried Syaoran.

Chiharu smiled, "It's ok, you don't have to explain, it's like my and Takahashi!" Chiharu closed the door, a merry look on her face, leaving two stunned sorcerers sitting on a bed.

The two sat there for a few minutes. Then Syaoran turned to Sakura.

"Like her and Takahashi? I would've thought they hated each other…"

Sakura just nodded, dotty eyed.

*************************************************************** *****

"So that's where they are?" Ahiko asked.

"Yes master" the dark Sakura said.

"Very well, begin attack on your other half…."

"Yes master."

*************************************************************** *****

"So as you can see, we are a completely self sufficient base!" Tomoyo said as she finished the tour of her base by pointing out the miles of crop stacked on top of each other to conserve space.

"Wow, I'm impressed, you have less land then the Li clan and yet you have about just as much resources as we do," Syaoran praised.

"Thanks, we try our best," Tomoyo smiled.

"Sooo, anyways, what are we going to do here master?" asked Sakura.

Syaoran sighed, "I thought I told you to stop calling me master…"

"Yeah but you annoyed me so there!"

"Grow up some Sakura, I'd have thought that six hundred years would be enough to put some sense into anyone but I guess not."

"I was ASLEEP for six hundred years!"

"What, eight hours of sleep a day not enough?"

"Why you!"

"Just like a married couple," Takahashi winked at Chiharu.

"Yup, how kawai!" Chiharu said.

Hearing this, both Sakura and Syaoran turned their glares at Takahashi and Chiharu, making them both sweat profusely in fear.

"As much as I enjoy watching such a kawai couple fight I think we have more pressing matters at hand…." Tomoyo warned.

"Like what?" asked Syaoran.

"Like that," Tomoyo pointed at a dark cloud in the sky. At the head of it was the evil Sakura, dressed in a black dress that billowed around her.

"Um, I don't think that's good…" Takahashi muttered.

"Sound the alarm! Evacuate everyone! Tell them to initiate Omega Plan C!" Tomoyo shouted over the sounds of the storm.

"But my lady! That's the last ditch plan! Surely you don't mean that sorceress up there can destroy us! Don't forget about all our protection spells that we have set up!" Yawasigana yelled over the chaos Tomoyo's orders had created.

"I'm afraid that sorceress is extremely powerful, now evacuate, I'll set up another set up protection spells to buy us more time!" Tomoyo ordered. Yawasigana saluted, then ran off to obey the orders.

Tomoyo watched as Yawasigana led Takahashi and Chiharu away. Turning around she was almost surprised to see Syaoran and Sakura still standing there.

"Please evacuate Syaoran, we need you and Sakura alive!"

Syaoran shook his head, "I was sent here to help out for a little while, I'm not leaving if your not leaving."

"And I'm not leaving either, though I don't have much of a choice since I'm kind of tied to Syaoran here." Sakura smiled.

Tomoyo thought for a moment, then said, "I guess there isn't much I can do to make you two leave, oh well, just in case you die you two are some of the best friends I've ever had!"

"I'm not sure about the dying thing but I think you're a good friend too," Sakura smiled.

"Ok, I'll start setting up the protection spells, keep the other Sakura distracted until I'm done. I'm going to be spent after I set up my ultimate shielding spell so I'll need you to take care of me after I'm done."

Sakura and Syaoran nodded in understanding before setting off to work.

Sakura called out her star wand while Syaoran summoned his pendant sword. The evil Sakura descended down from the clouds.

"So, this is the little resistance that all of Japan has to offer me? How feeble."

"We're more than enough to handle you!" Sakura yelled back. She struck the air twice in succession yelling out, "Sword! Fly!" White wings grew out of her back and her star wand turned into a pink sword. Flying up into the air, she assaulted the evil Sakura who was riding on her black star wand. She in turn grew black wings and transformed her wand into a red sword.

"I'll show you your true potential!" screamed the evil Sakura as she swung her sword at the good Sakura who blocked it by thrusting the point of her sword into the side of the evil Sakura's sword and slid it forward at the evil Sakura.

"The original is always better than the sequel!" the good Sakura said as she pulled her sword back in order to dodge a round house kick.

"Now I wouldn't say that!" a new voice came in.

Both Sakuras turned to find a young girl dressed in grey standing on the steeple of a church a few meters away from them.

"Get out of here!" the good Sakura screamed. The evil Sakura simply raised her sword and sent a blast of fire at the girl in grey. Amazingly enough, the fire seemed to bounce off a shield that was suddenly in place.

"Th-that's impossible!" the evil Sakura shouted as she lifted her sword again. This time a blast of water burst out. This attack was met the same was as before.

"D-damn it!" the evil Sakura yelled.

The girl giggled, "Don't say bad words! It's not right to say bad words."

"Who are you?" the evil Sakura asked.

"My name is Arukas!"

"Who sent you?"

"Silly, I sent me!" Arukas giggled.

"Um, maybe you should get somewhere safe Arukas, this place might not be safe for much longer," the good Sakura tried.

"I don't think it's possible for either of you to hurt me!" Arukas smiled.

Sakura frowned at this. Something wasn't right with this girl. Sakura felt as if she should know her. Shaking the feeling out of her head Sakura turned to face the evil Sakura.

"Sakura, stop this! She's just a little girl!" the good Sakura yelled.

"I'm not Sakura! I'm not you!" the evil Sakura yelled. From now on I renounce the name of Sakura! I am no longer Sakura! I am from this day on Kotomi!"

"That's good, now we won't ever mistake each other by our names," Sakura said.

"Good for you two! Now you don't have the same names!" Arukas suddenly cut in.

"Stay out of this!" the newly named Kotomi yelled, shooting another futile blast of fire at Arukas.

"Stop it!" Sakura yelled.

"Make me!" Kotomi screamed back, flying at Sakura. Sakura blocked the attack and thrust back at Kotomi. And the fight resumed, this time with a new spectator, Arukas.

*************************************************************** *****

Syaoran watched the fight between Sakura and the newly dubbed Kotomi, wondering who the new girl Arukas was.

Suddenly, sensing a blast of energy from behind him, Syaoran jumped up into the air just in time to dodge a blast of pure energy.

Turning around to see who his new opponent was he found the hooded figure from the night before.

"Who are you!" Syaoran yelled.

"Hmph, you expect me to tell you? Well, I guess I could tell a dead man who I am. My name! Is Ahiko!"

"Hmph, what a stupid name," Syaoran said firmly as he leveled his sword at Ahiko.

"We'll see how stupid you think it is when you're begging for your life!"

Ahiko flew at Syaoran, throwing balls of energy every few seconds to keep him off balance.

Syaoran crouched down and lunged to avoid the attacks. There were so many that he didn't notice Ahiko coming at him from above until a few seconds before he would've hit.

"I've got you!" Ahiko screamed as he thrust forward with his blade.

"Aaahh!" Syaoran moved his sword above him to defend against the attack. Just when Ahiko was about to collide with him, a green shield appeared that deflected the attack.

"What was that!" Ahiko yelled at Syaoran, "You don't know any shielding magics!"

"Th-that," Syaoran stuttered before realizing it, "That was Sakura's powers!"

Ahiko stepped back, eyes wide, before saying, "Preposterous! You cannot have Sakura's powers! She's using them! How are you able to have them!"

"That's for me to know and you to find out! Now die!" Syaoran jumped at Ahiko, sword held out. Ahiko was so dazed that he barely acknowledge the attack till a few seconds before and then he could only twist so that he wasn't killed.

Jumping away, Ahiko yelled, "You think you've won! Sakura! Ultimate attack!"

"I'm not Sakura! I'm Kotomi now!" came the reply.

"Whatever!" sputtered Ahiko, "Just do it!"

"Fine fine!" Kotomi yelled back. She landed on a nearby roof before retracting her wings and transforming her sword back to her wand. She raised her wand above her head before striking the air above her. The air rippled slowly from the contact point. Slowly, a giant fireball formed above her.

"What the fuck is that?" Syaoran yelled at Sakura.

Sakura frowned before saying, "It's the ultimate fire spell, I'm thinking we should get out of here.

Arukas was suddenly by Sakura's side, "Let's go Sakura."

"Um, yeah, ok, let's go," Sakura replied to the little girl beside her. "Syaoran, we're leaving! Get Tomoyo!"

"Right!" Syaoran yelled back, watching Sakura fly away.

Syaoran ran towards where Tomoyo was.

"Tomoyo! We have to go now!" Syaoran yelled.

"Give me a few seconds please Li," Tomoyo grunted through her teeth. She was still weaving spells in the air as she tried to finish off the shielding spell.

"Let's go Tomoyo! Kotomi, er, the other Sakura is about to use the ultimate fire spell! Let's go!"

"Just a few more seconds!"

Syaoran's eyes widened as he saw the giant fireball grow above all the buildings. "That's it, I'm getting you out of here!"

Syaoran grabbed Tomoyo's by her arm and started to drag her away.

"NO!" Tomoyo yelled, breaking free and continuing her spell.

Suddenly, Syaoran's hand came down, knocking her out. He threw the unconscious girl over his shoulders and ran down the streets towards where he could feel Sakura was.

A sharp laugh broke out over the town as Kotomi threw her giant fireball. The blast of magical energy broke through the original magical barriers before hitting the unfinished shielding spell Tomoyo had started. The two spells battled against each other for supremacy before the shielding spell was completely destroyed. The fire spell blasted towards the center of the city. Syaoran turned his head in fear.

The giant fireball blasted through the entire main building before exploding into millions of smaller fireballs.

"Gah!" Syaoran yelped as he saw one going straight for him. His shield immediately popped up to block the attack. Syaoran felt the strain of the spell as his shield bent under the pressure.

"Sakura!!!" Syaoran yelled into the air.

*************************************************************** ****

Sakura's head swiveled as she felt Syaoran's terror. She looked towards Arukas who was floating behind her.

"Go, I can take care of myself," the girl smiled, winking at Sakura.

Sakura immediately flew towards Syaoran.

`Syaoran, please stay alive until I get there!'

*************************************************************** *****

"Ugh!" Syaoran grunted as he felt his shield give way. He moved away so that the fireball would be deflected instead of bursting through to destroy him.

Suddenly, a particularly big fireball collided with Syaoran. Syaoran felt his shield give way.

"Chikuso.." Syaoran muttered, covering Tomoyo's body with his own as to protect her. Syaoran felt the shield give way, the shattering of interwoven magical energies. Syaoran gritted his teeth, awaiting the incoming blast. But it never came.

Syaoran looked up to see….. Sakura?

A/N: Whaaaaaaa!!! <cries> It's only fifteen pages!!! And no…. it wasn't Sakura that saved Syaoran and Tomoyo.
