XIAOLANG- little wolf

Chapter Two: Pain, loss

She could some how feel his presence nearing where she and that boy Trae stood, she'd gotten to her `home' and the boy had stayed the night thinking she was some how going to try and kill herself or something. Shaking her head Sakura stood beside the boy, in a park where she had no knowledge of and she was waiting, somehow she had to convince Xiaolang that she was Sakura before he killed her. `this isn't going to work' her mind cried out, but Sakura shoved it to the side, if she didn't stop him killing people, then…… well she didn't know what was going to happen.

"Xan, what are we doing here?" Sakura stopped herself from sneering, `damn stupid body, arg!'

"just shut up and you'll see, if I tell you to run then run, got it?" the boy just shook his head and sighed

"I think I'll take you to the doctors, you must have eaten something weird, you even yelled at you mum! I-" Sakura blocked out the boys ramblings, the dark aura was coming closer, she could feel it, and with it came the feeling of foreboding, either she convinced Xiaolang that she was Sakura or he was going to kill her and there would be NO WAY for her to get her body back.

`I wonder if I called Tomoyo and Mei Lin if they would believe me……..probably not, I don't even believe me, we'll that doesn't really make sense, oh I know what I mean, my stupid brain has been clogged down by the fog of man-ness, stupid men, stupid body, stupid Cosette for doing this to me, stupid me for agreeing, stupid Ardru for killing me, stupid everyone, I hate this' Sakura was brought out of her self dwelling when she heard screaming and blasts going off. Sighing she concluded

"here he comes"

It took a while before a lone figure could be seen coming out of the dust that had settled after one of the buildings close to the park had mysteriously collapsed. Sakura waited, tensing her muscles, ready to get out of the way of any magical attack.

"I think you should leave Trae" she said, not taking her eyes off of the slowly advancing figure. Trae looked at Sakura and shrugged

"if you want to stay and get fried, go ahead, ill see you around…….if you make it" and with that the boy ran in the opposite direction of the walking shadow.

He looked different, way different and her heart almost broke at the sight of him, his hair was messy, as always but had a feral look to it, his clothes and skin was dirty, she could distinctly see dried blood splattered across his whole body, but what scared her the most was his eyes. Those beautiful amber orbs that she had so loved to just stare into were vacant, gleaming with an insanity that tore at her soul.

"Xiaolang" the name was whispered along the breeze that carried over to the lone darkness, and she saw it stop in its tracks, its eyes directed now into her own, she had to stop herself from running over to him and kissing him `I'm a guy now, that's how he sees me'

"I no longer go by that name" his voice was a harsh sound, and it sent shovers down her spine

"then what are you called now?" `that's right, keep him talking, draw it out'

Xiaolang studied the boy before him, strong looking, long black/blue hair, black eyes, `a fighter' he grinned at this,' now I will have a challenge'

"I am known as `the reaper'" Sakura raised an eyebrow at that `harvester? So you harvest peoples lives now do you Xiaolang, I don't think so!'

"What of Sakura?" it was a long shot, but she knew if she could bring up her own name she could probably convince him that she was herself, he winced, and then glared at the boy

"what of her?" he whispered, eyes hard as stone

"I know her"

"you mean knew her"

"no……know her"

she saw his puzzled look "you don't know she'd dead?" he asked, his voice taunting.

"she's alive, she told me to tell you to stop" Xiaolang laughed

"I don't know who you are but you have no idea what your talking about, she's dead, I SAW HER DIE! I know……I know" Sakura shifted positions, feeling slightly uncomfortable

"do you remember that night when you first kissed her in the training room? What that felt like?" `oh hell, I have no idea what I'm saying' Xiaolang growled

"how do you? Were you……spying?" there was a strange glint in his eyes, and then he attacked, ferociously, grabbing Sakura's head in both his hands and bringing his knee up to her face and braking her nose quickly with a loud crunch. Sakura growled and kicked Xiaolang away from her, while slipping easily into a fighting stance, ready for his next attack, her eyes were watering and her nose bleeding profusely, but she didn't care, she had to make Xiaolang see that either she knew herself or that she was Sakura!

He lunged at her again, this time trying for a round house kick, Sakura blocked it expertly, his attacks were wild and desperate, as if he was trying to get the fight done with quickly. Sakura right hooked Xiaolang in the face before sweeping his legs from under him

"she wants you to STOP!" Sakura screamed out the last word, Xiaolang however didn't feel inclined to listen to this boy who seemed to know HIS Sakura a little too well. Gathering a substantial amount of magic he hurled it in the boys direction, Sakura only just getting out of the way of the powerful magic beam.

"I don't know how you got out of the way, but you wont leave this park ALIVE!" then he rushed again at the tiering Sakura, `this damned body needs to work out more' and she leapt to the side, dodging a sucker punch to the face and trying desperately to get Xiaolang back onto the ground to retreat a little. Xiaolang however had a different idea and threw a powerful magical blast at Sakura……at point blank range……a blinding pain shot through the body she was inhabiting and she fell backwards onto the ground, she remembered quite clearly that this kind of pain hurt worse then when she had died, this was at the hands of her love, he had hurt her.

"Enjoy dieing alone." Xiaolang sneered before giving a vicious kick to the boys stomach before walking off in search of more victims, he oddly didn't feel the peace that killing brought to his tainted soul `no…….I don't have a soul.' Xiaolang didn't look back at the boy he had just fought, he never looked back.

Shiienpo watched the scene with mild fascination, something about the boy Xiaolang had been fighting was different, it was like the body was too big for the boy, but that didn't make sense whatsoever, shrugging his shoulders he smiled as the boy continued on his way, more destruction at his hands `I think I might get my hands dirty, they need the exercise.'

Trae ran to the withering body of his friend, hands hovering panicky above the wound that was quickly spilling Xan's blood onto the ground.

"stay with me man, we'll get you some help, just stay with me." Sakura didn't understand a word the boy was saying, the pain was ripping its way through her entire body, she couldn't believe something like this hurt so much, and then, the pain was leaving, as was her vision, its was becoming blissfully dark

"I said stay with me Xan……XAN??? HELP, SOMEONE HELP ME!"

~*~

Mei Lin and Tomoyo stood there, under the only Sakura tree in the gardens at the Zaiozu Martial Arts School, visiting their friend

"were so sorry Sakura, we tried, but he wouldn't listen to us, were just so sorry" Mei Lin said, as she placed a single white rose on the gravestone. Tomoyo smiled sadly as she traced the letters of her friends name

Sakura `Ying Fa' Kinomoto

The only one of us to tame the wolf

Until we meet again

If they only knew how soon that would be, both girls sighed and took one last look at the cherry blossom tree before they headed back to the school, they had to continue on with their training, however this time they were training to stop Xiaolang before he destroyed the world.
