Link watched the exchange with mild amusement. Before Syaoran could speak, he had warped them to the island "HELLO? SAKURA!" Link called out. There was no answer. "We should split up and start searching around the island. If you find Sakura, holler." Link walked off towards a rocky area that was close by.

Tomoyo turned on her camera and set off towards the beach. With a guilty look towards Meilin and a silent prayer that she wouldn't accidentally hurt herself with her new sword, Syaoran headed off towards the field where he'd confessed. As he neared the surrounding trees and started to stumble through, he was suddenly hit by a strong magical aura.
Sakura!
When he emerged into the field, sure enough, he gaped in surprise at seeing someone who had been missing. But it wasn't the girl he loved that he'd found.
"Hello-lo-lo!" cried the little yellow stuffed animal. "Did you bring me cakes, brat?"

Link suddenly sensed a magical presence that didn't belong to Syaron and started to run towards it. When he reached the source, he was shocked to see Kero, looking like a stuffed animal once more, in the middle of a clearing, as if he had never gone missing. Link involuntarily spoke. "WHAT?!"

Both turned. "Well, what to you too, Link," Kero said huffily before flying over to his side. "I go missin' for days, and I get no 'welcome back' party, no 'I'm so glad to see you, Cerberus,' not even any homecomin' cake! Geeze, you people got no respect."
Syaoran shook his head. "I thought the aura I felt was Sakura's, but it was just Cerberus here. He won't tell me where he's been unless..." Syaoran rolled his eyes dramatically as Kero interrupted.
"--unless you give me cake! I've been starvin' out here and you expect me to tell you this and that willy-nilly?!"
((willy-nilly... like willy wonka... haha...))

Link was still shocked and as such, his sentences were garbled. "Cake..but..you...Sakura..Missing...where..were..you?" Link stumbled a bit and sat down on a rock to prevent himself from falling.

"I was meetin' with the Six Sages, kid," Kero said, laughing slightly at Link's reaction. "Didja really miss me that much?"
"Six... sages?" Syaoran frowned. What did Kero and Link know that he didn't?

"So that's where Impa went" Link muttered to himself. "What did they tell you? and do you have any idea where Sakura is?" Link had regained his composure and was taking a more organized approach to the current issues of the group.

Kero lowered his head. "Great evils are coming," he said softly. "We need to work together to overcome this... you, your girlfriend, me, Sakura, Tomoyo, the kid, the brat... everyone has a part to play. It will be hard. It will be dangerous. But unless we do this, everyone we care about will be destroyed."
Kero had spoken everything in a dramatic half-whisper, leaving Syaoran slightly afraid. Trying not to sound as if Kero's words had meant a thing to him, he asked lightly, "W... where's Sakura?"
"You want to know where Sakura is?" Kero hissed gravely, his eyes narrowed in the ultimate suspense.
Syaoran nodded.
"I have no idea," Kero said quite happily, a smile crossing his face.
Syaoran literally fell to the ground. "WHAT?! But... but how...?!"

If Link was annoyed, he didn't show it. "We need to get moving, Sakura could be in danger and by danger, I mean she could be in danger of slipping and falling, or she could be in danger of getting captured by Ganon and Majora's forces." Link started to reach out for magical auras beyond their present location. "Hmm... Hyrule Field, I think. Yes I'm fairly certain. Let's go." Link started off, the others following close behind.

Syaoran nodded. He couldn't just stand and watch while his number one could be in danger. Plus, this was partially his fault. She'd run off in the first place because of his confession. Syaoran's heart sank. Yes, he wanted Sakura to be happy, and no, he would never want her to be with him if it would cause her pain, but... he'd sort of thought... somehow, he'd been under the impression that she returned his feelings, at least on some level. He sighed. Guess his powers of romantic knowledge weren't as good as Tomoyo's or Link's. He was always second-best to someone, wasn't he? Sakura had beat him to the Clow Cards, and whoever she liked (Link? Yukito? Tomoyo?) had beat him to Sakura.
Tomoyo and Meilin joined them shortly, Kero catching Tomoyo up on his adventures while taking a moment every few sentences to glare in Syaoran's or Meilin's direction. Syaoran nodded and pretended to care...

As the group reached Hyrule Field, they were presented with the sight of Sakura struggling to hold her ground against five Moblins. Link nudged Syaoran forward. "They're all yours."

Syaoran pulled out his keychain and closed his eyes, and in an instant he was holding a sword. Frustration at everything seemed to overwhelm him at that moment. I failed to capture the Clow Cards... the girl I love doesn't return my feelings... I'm engaged to a girl I don't love... I can't seem to do anything right... the girl I love doesn't return my feelings... I can't seem to trust people no matter how hard I try... I only have two friends... I love Sakura, and she doesn't return my feelings...
And with a roar of fury all that pent-up anger was released as he swung his sword down on the ones who held Sakura captive. Because as mad as he was, he could never, ever forget about her smile and this blow, that blow was for hurting his number one and that blow, this blow was for the world giving her everything but him.

Link took a deep breath and let it out as he realized that he had yet another problem to deal with. Syaoran was extremely unstable. If he didn't get closure, he was in danger from himself. What Syaoran obviously hadn't noticed was that the way he had attacked had no defensive style whatsoever. If he did anything remotely similar during the battle with Ganon and Majora, he would be dead. And if that didn't happen, Link mused, he could always go insane. Link knew that a person with nothing to lose was both the most dangerous type of person, since they didn't care what happened to themselves, and the most vulnerable type of person, since they usually attacked the same way Syaoran had. Syaoran was under the impression that he had nothing left to lose, and unless he got out of it, Link was certain that he would be dead by the end of the final battle.

Fortunately, the Moblins were weak, and a blow to the head each was enough to finish them off. Syaoran stood holding his sword above Sakura's head, but instead of being comforted and feeling protected by his presence, she was scared.
"S-Syaoran... kun...?"
"Hey," Syaoran breathed, "Sakura."

Link was beside the pair in an instant. In another, he had pulled Syaoran out of earshot and was shaking him violently by the shoulders "SNAP OUT OF IT! YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED OR KILL YOURSELF IF YOU KEEP ACTING THIS WAY! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!?
SHE
LOVES
YOU!
SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A WHOLE LOT!" Link shoved Syaoran back a few feet to accentuate his final point.
