Through exhausted, slightly unfocused eyes, Fai watched as the girl, Ari, came running out of nowhere to take out a couple of the smaller kiji........
The wizard then struggled to his feet, hearing Syaoran cough and gasp dangerously for air on the floor before them.......
Before the blonde mage could get to the boy, however, the other girl - Hori, had taken the knife and sliced Seishirou's throat in one quick movement, ending the sorcerer's attack on them. His body fell slowly to the floor.........the young girl sobbing......and the wizard watched as the body lay.....shimmering......
He readied himself best he could in the event that the wizard could somehow send another attack......but the shimmering body suddenly disappeared, leaving a fluttering of pink-red petals in it's place........
A shudder went through the wizard looking upon those petals, and he moved to get Syaoran as far away from them as possible, but before he could make it to the boy, his legs gave out and he found himself sitting, against his will.........holding his still dripping hand, and staring at the bloody scene around him.....
