Mystical Ying and Yang
Chapter 13: Sacrifice
Rolling away from the deadly sword, Sakura panted, keeping her eyes on the black one.
"What do you want from me?!?" she cried, black dust covering her hands as she scrabbled.
The eyes glimmered, black as night as the cold lips moved into a dark smirk.
"Your life� my precious�"
"After all, you are the Card Mistress are you not? Power at your fingertips, all for the taking when you die�"
He came after her, the sword getting closer, but before the sword point touched her, he grimaced. His eye twitched, turning slightly amber before changing back.
"Your boy, is very strong my dear�"
"But you need to die now� After all, you assembled the clans, you assembled the creatures, and you assembled power without knowing it� And now, your child, balancing the world and ruling with a just hand."
Horror shone in her eyes, as the truth came to her.
She and Syaoran's child, power from both of them� great power�
+---*---+
Tormented, by blood and bone.
Blood, from numerous victims splashed, covering his clothes and his face. Then they faded, waiting for the next round, where the tormentor-now-victim would slowly go mad.
"Leave me alone!" "I have nothing that you want! Leave me alone!"
Was the scream of anger and pain. Every cut he had ever inflicted was onto him, slicing his skin, then faded, leaving the pains of imaginary wounds.
He clutched his head, as mysterious voices echoed his mind, where they cried, begged and whimpered, replaying all his victims' voices.
Sobbing, he fell to the floor, his normally amber eyes, bloodshot, seeing figures of white, wraiths and ghosts.
The darkness around him laughed, a cold steely voice that echoed.
"The poor little wolf is being tortured�"
Syaoran paused as the figures, blood, cuts and voices stopped.
"Who are you!?!"
"I am you� Syaoran Li of the Li Clan."
"Liar!!!"
"Ahaha� very sharp� most would have thought that I was an inner conscious by now�"
The oozingly cold washed over Syaoran, making his hair stand on end.
"All you need to know is I chose you� And I will succeed in controlling you and your body until your sweet cherry blossom is but a bloodied body."
At the mention of Sakura, he roared. And at that single moment, a black circle faintly ebbed at the centre of his torso.
It was then the wraith, which held him, grimaced, as a sharp lanced cut ran through the connection between Xiao Lang.
+---*---+
Sakura watched in slight horror and fright as the black being bent over, clutching it head in both hands as it dropped the bloodied sword.
It's body wracked with heavy cries as it fought with itself inside.
"Sakura!" it rasped finally.
It lifted it head slowly, while Sakura, taut and ready to move away, recoiled when she saw pure amber flecked in his eyes.
"Sakura� believe� me� you� have to� get away�" said the true voice of Syaoran, slightly worn and harsh but still warm.
"No... This is another of your tricks, spirit!" spat Sakura, pushing herself away to distance the mad being.
"Ying� Hua� Why would I� lie?" as he tried to continue, he fell to his knees, trying to control the being.
"I� cann..ot.. ho..ld him for long�"
"Why should I believe you!?! You're�no...thin� but� a �wra...ith�" Sakura sobbed, breaking down, wracking cries. She was torn in half, wanting to believe this apparition but she didn't trust it. It could be the spirit's trick to lure her into its arms to give her a kiss of death.
The eyes flashed back to their black.
"You should have listened to him� He was right," as the darkness controlled again.
It started to pick up the sword, and as Sakura lay frozen as if under a spell, it stabbed into her stomach, where the child lay.
And then, something happened.
A blinding white flash appeared, stunning the Mistress as she clutched her stomach, withering in pain. And the being inside Syaoran, writhed too. For to appear at each's heart, was a symbol.
The necklace that had been separated many years ago was in each of them. And as the being had been prepared to extinguish the light of the ying and yang, it had seemed like it had hit itself. For there inside of the creature, was a throbbing it had never felt before.
Though there was no mark to suggest that it was hurt, the being was torn.
Its defences, like the child had been torn apart and it too was dying out. And finally, it was pushed out of Syaoran's body, it disintegrated, and vanished in a blinding wind that torn through the temple.
He choked, dropped the sword and held onto his throat. Syaoran took a hard gasp and finally after many weeks, his mind and soul was free. But he had other things to think about as now all the sounds in the dark, diminished temple was Sakura, gasping as blood flowed from her stomach where the sword had penetrated.
"Sakura!"
"Shaoran�" was all she could say as she her blood on her hands.
He came to her, and placed his hands on her stomach. And as he tried to heal her with the little magic he had, Sakura lay limply in her Little Wolf's arms.
+---*---+
After his healing, Syaoran weakly held onto her. He knew their baby was to be born today. He hadn't enough to heal it too and so soon, Sakura's body would reject it and it would have to come out.
"Syaoran, the baby's coming�"
A nod was his response and he helped her to a sitting position and pulled her pants from her legs.
The baby was too premature. It was only a few months old, and was already injured.
She started heaving, the contractions starting, stopping and starting again. He grimly held her hand, urging her to keep pushing. It finally came, a tiny figure, not fully formed and its umbilical cord torn. When finally the ordeal was over, Sakura lay there.
Fragile, tiny and broken.
Live child, you will make it! Chapter 14!
Author's Notes: Here, as Jade and a ton of people wanted the next chapter of Mystical Ying and Yang. I think the next chapter will be the last. Yeah, as Deb wanted the end of another of my stories. Hope this one was as good as Sung from the Heart.
