Chapter 10
It was black. Pitch black. Tomoyo could not see anything. Suddenly, she
saw Syaoran and Deserta. Syaoran looked similar to a puppet that was
controlled by an evil maniac <In this case, Deserta>. Tomoyo looked up
to see two pieces of wood join at the center. Then the strings fell.
Sakura arrived at Tokyo Tower sooner than she wanted to. She knew that
whatever was coming up would be another test of her skills as a Card
captor. She looked up to see three figures standing at the top. She
recognized one instantly. Deserta.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura reached the top of the tower and returned the Jump Card. Deserta
stepped out of the shadows revealing her face. Before Sakura could say
anything, Deserta closed her eyes and began to move her hands as if
holding the strings of a marionette. Sakura was startled as Deserta
snapped her eyes open and uttered two words that made Sakura's blood
turn to stone. Kill her. As she spoke, a figure walked out of the shadows.
Sakura stood in horror at the man in front of her. His brown hair
shimmered in the lights from the city. His amber eyes were clouded over
yet Sakura could still see a spark of light inside of them. He drew his
sword slowly, allowing the long silver blade to catch the light so it
danced over his face. Sakura knew him so well, yet this was not he. This
was not her Syaoran.
All Sakura could do was stand there and stare at him. * It is not him
though. It is something else. It is Deserta. * Sakura thought as tears
came to her eyes. Through her tears Sakura saw something flash in
Syaoran's eyes. She had never seen it cross his face before. In fact,
she had never seen it before. It was a mix of sorrow, grief, and a call
for help. But it quickly vanished into an evil grin.
Sakura could not see anything through her tears except a fast movement in
the corner of her eyes. The next thing she knew, Syaoran was right in
front of her holding a bloody sword. Sakura was so hurt inside already,
she didn't even feel the blade go right through her. She looked down at
her stomach. Her whole outfit was blood stained. Suddenly feeling the
pain, Sakura collapsed. All she had the energy to say was one simple
question directed at her enemy. "Why?"
Deserta came and stood over the extremely wounded Sakura. She answered
her question as a look of pity came over her, "Two hundred years ago, I
was Datteshi Li. I was to inherit the Book of Clow in two years when I
became 13. One day while practicing my magic, I burned down the house
killing everyone in it. As a spirit, I was upset because I died without
ever getting what was rightfully mine. I vowed to return to Earth and
retrieve my book. Ten years ago, your father found the book in the
wreckage of my burned-out home. Now, I have returned for my
inheritance!" She finished her tale dramatically.
Again she started to move her hands. The other figure came out of the
shadows. " Get the book and cards." She commanded. Sakura looked up to
see long black hair flow over. She turned her head and looked into a
pair of dull, lifeless, purple eyes. "Not you too, Tomoyo-chan." Sakura
was barely able to whisper. Tomoyo then pulled away and gave the book
and cards to Datteshi. Sakura was able to make out a purple aura
streaming from Datteshi into the cards. The pink outline turned to its
normal red. * I never thought that this was how I would end. The cards
taken away. My best friend taken away, unable to see me. My only true
love the one that killed me. And no one will find me or will be able to
say good-bye. I did not think it would be like this to die. It hurts so
much worse than what I thought. * Sakura thought sadly. On the outside,
Sakura was crying heavily. But on the inside, she was screaming. With
her last breath, Sakura managed to say what was the worst thing she
thought she would ever say," Good-bye" With that, Sakura's eyes glazed
over as she took her last breath < Readers: OH NO!!! This can't happen!
