The clear sound of a bell being struck was heard. A loud, clear sound. The image of a pair of wings, beautiful, beautiful wings…It was amazing…how the feathers were fashioned in a way that made it so they weren't even visible. Or…maybe there weren't any feathers. He thought, staring in awe at the sight unfolding in front of him.

The wings…were like glass. Smooth, graceful, breath taking. The sound of a bell being struck was heard once more. Loud and clear, as suddenly…the wings shattered. Everything grew dark, the wings…crumbling away like a sandcastle on the beach, began to fall downwards, disappearing before they could reach the ground.

But he wasn't worried about the wings. He was worried about the girl the wings came from.

"Sakura!" A boy yelled, forgetting to address her as 'Princess' as he lunged foreword to catch her before she could fall. "Sakura? Sakura? Sakura!" He exclaimed, shaking the girl a bit so she would wake up.

Watching from aside, he watched the two carefully. Observing their each and every move.

"Syaoran, your price…is your relationship." "The thing you value most is your relationship with her…What is she to you…?" "If you accept Mokona, your relationship will end." "That is my price. Will you still pay it?"

"Let's go." The boy said grimly, looking up a dark haired woman that wasn't there earlier. "I will not let Sakura die!" Fire was in his eyes as he spoke.

Smiling a bit to himself, the onlooker watched as the image melted away before his eyes. Now…it was just him and the darkness. A light appeared…

It was a type of warmth that made him melt away. But the single glowing light…in the midst of the dark, carried such a sad and somber feeling to it. Why was it, that this aura was so sad, but the glow so cheerful and full of life?

Smiling a bit to himself, he nodded his head understandingly at the light. Extending a hand…he reached out to touch it…
