.:Broken Promises:.

I walked around knocking on everything, to see if anything made a hollow sound. When I finally found a hollow space under the floorboard, I lifted the floorboard and

found a passageway, Syaoran and I traveled along the passage way and ended up outside Kanon cave. We went inside Kanon cave and saw the two men chatting with

each other.

"It's here, it's definitely here!" Said Oni greedily, as he turned a knob made out of rock. He kept turning and turning, until suddenly a door opened from the side. The two

men entered as Syaoran and I peered inside to see many piles of gold. At the canter of all the gold piles was a single golden art brush with many details carved on it.

'That's the treasure?' I thought.

"The ancient treasure is finally mine!" Cackled Oni as he grabbed the golden art brush. Syaoran, who was concentrated on all that treasure, accidentally tripped,

attracting everyone's attention to him.

"How did you escape?!". Shouted Aku.

"I told you didn't I? That if you tried to escape we would kill you immediately," Oni reminded us as he took out his gun aiming at me. When I saw the gun pointed at me

my legs turned into jelly. Oni loaded the gun and shooted.

"No!' Syaoran howled as he pushed me out of the way. When I stood up again from being pushed to the ground, I saw Syaoran laying there, not moving an inch.

"Li-kun?" I asked shaking him, I received no response. "Hey, stop joking around Li-kun; didn't you say that would escape together?" Syaoran still did not move,

even though I was shaking him as if my life depended on it.

"Ha ha ha" Oni started laughing. "So he died did he? Good riddance, now all that is left is you, Silver Crescent". He pointed his gun at me again, but I didn't notice.

Because I was too occupied with the thought of Syaoran dead.

"Li-kun!" I screamed as I shooked him more violently now. Believing Syaoran's dead, I suddenly remembered my most cherished memory after my mom died.

Seven Years ago at Mothers Funeral

I was crying before my mother's coffin, feeling lonely, sad and confused. Not being able to bear it anymore I ran behind the church. An hour later people started noticing that I

was missing, even though I heard them call my name over an over I did not respond. 'What should I do now?' I was thinking, 'I'm all alone'.

"What are you doing?" Popped in a familiar face.

"Syaoran-kun?" I asked. I called him Syaoran-kun because I only knew him as my next door neighbor.

"What are you doing?" He repeated.

I started crying again. "I'm sorry" He said with a worried face, thinking that he made me cry.

"It's not your fault" I squeaked. "I'm just so scared now that my mother's gone. I don't have anyone to eat with, talk with, play with or hug with anymore"

He stared at me innocently. I kept on crying until he suddenly surprised me with a hug. "Don't worry," he said.

"What?" I said flabbergasted.

"If your mother can't do all those things for you anymore, I'll do them".

I looked at him in surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah, if you want some one to eat with, I'll eat with you, if you want someone to talk with, I'll talk with you, if you want you want someone to play with, and I'll play with you. If

you want a hug I'll hug you, just like this". He said as he hugged me.

"But what if you leave me just like mother did?" I asked sadly.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you," He said smiling. "I'll be together with you, always".

"Pinky promise?" I asked hopefully, as I showed my tiny pinky.

"Pinky promise". He repeated as he linked his tiny pinky to mine.

"You're such a liar Syaoran," I said to him not remembering I'm still in Silver Crescent form. "You said you would always stay with me," I suddenly noticed that my

eyes were overbrimming with tears. "What's this?" I asked myself as I wiped a way my tear. "No, no, no!" I shouted at myself. "I promised myself I would never cry

again". I kept wiping my tears but they just wouldn't stop. "Why did you take the bullet Syaoran? You're so mean Syaoran leaving me here. You were the only

one who understood me, and was there for me. When I was lonely you tried to cheer me up but we always ended up fighting instead. Now you made me

break my promise too. Really, you are such a big idiot Syaoran". I gave up trying to stop my tears; instead I seven years worth of tears fall onto Syaoran's face.

"What's with the water works?" Asked a voice.

"Li-kun!" I yelped. Seeing his body stand up.

"I wouldn't die that easily". He said smirking. "The bullet just skinned my arm and ended up hitting the wall; the ceiling broke a bit and made a rock fall down on me".

I stood there dumbstruck. 'Why didn't I notice that?' I asked myself.

"What? Were you worried about me?' He asked teasingly.

"You idiot!" I yelled, still crying. "Did you just have to make me worry?"

"You seem fine now," He laughed.

"Hmph" I said turning away.

"So the bullet missed him?' I turned around and saw Oni speaking. "Well, I'll just have to try again"

Oni started shooting insanely; luckily for us we managed to dodge all of them. He kept shooting until we all noticed the walls starting to crumble.

"Damn it!" I yelled. "All the bullets hitting the walls must have been making it unstable".

"You won't get away!" Cackled Oni. Suddenly, out of nowhere a huge rock landed abruptly on the end of his brother's lab coat and his own. "Noooo!" He yelled, getting

more rocks falling on him.

"Hurry before we get trapped in too!" Yelled Syaoran over the sound of falling rocks.

We ran outside, still not stopping till we couldn't see the cave anymore.

"Do you think they're dead?" Syaoran asked breathing hard.

"If they're not dead, they're not human", I answered exhausted.

"I can't believe they just died just like that, after all the trouble they gave us!" Syaoran exclaimed "I almost feel sorry for them!"

"Don't," I warned.

We stood there for a while trying to catch our breaths. Noticing that I'm still in Silver Crescent form, I jumped to the tree making sure Syaoran won't have a chance to

capture me. "Don't worry I won't try to catch you anymore, for today," He told me.

"I wonder if I should believe that" I said amused.

"You're right" He began to laugh. "Thanks for worrying about me when I wouldn't wake up"

"And no thanks to you for making me worry like crazy" I said with fake anger.

"I apologize for that". He said putting his hands up.

I smiled back at him. "Thanks for everything today Li-kun".

"What did I do?" He asked curiously.

"You saved me from a gun that would have killed me twice. You also rescued form my doubts about myself, for that I thank you" I explained.

"You're welcome, I guess?" He said still unsure. "But Silver Crescent…"

"What?" I asked.

"No matter what, you can't get caught by anyone one else because…" he paused. I gave him a confused face wondering what he was going to say, until he finally looked

up and yelled proudly "Only I am allowed to catch you!"

I stood on the tree, happy for some odd reason. I then replied to him. "Alright, but like I always say Li-kun…"

"Huh? What?" He asked as dawn began to break. The sun started rising beside us, with our glistening eyes staring at each other. I turned around as soon as I heard

the distant church bells ringing an indescribable melody. I looked back at him for one last time and smiled.

"Catch me, if you can"
