~~~~~~~~~Story Begin~~~~~~~~~~~
It was dark where she stood, nothing was familiar. It all seemed so....odd.
Suddenly everything became clear, she recognized the tower looming infront of her, it was how all her premonition dreams went. She blinked slightly when she saw a figure on the towers beams, unlike all her other dreams the figure was facing away from her and was crotched on the ground. Curious she called Fly and flapped her wings flying over, when she reached the end of the beam, now the figure was facing her, but the head was bent down. She noticed that the figure was hovered over something. She tilted her head and walked a bit closer going slow out of caution. The something turned out to be another person, taller than the first from what she could tell by the long legs, muscular, it was a male laying across the ground. She got even closer, the moonlight appeared from behind a cloud and the hunched over figure chose that time to raise its head.
She let out a gasp. Long Lavender hair flowing around a beautiful cherub face, scrunched up in agony. Usually life filled Athymist eyes clouded and dull, filled with still unshed tears, while rivers of it ran down the porcelain cheek. Blood was on the usually clean clothes and even on the dainty hands. She shook her head slowly. It couldn't be, this couldn't be! Nothing like that could ever happen, not to her....not to Tomoyo!!
It was then that she leaned back down and Sakura noticed the shaggy locks of Navy blue hair clotted with blood, the beautifully mysterious Cobalt eyes now closed in pain. Blood ran freely down the soft milky cheek, blood clotted the usually primp and pressed shirt, drenching it and clinging it to the fit chest. She held in a sob, not him too. Not Tomoyo and Eriol!!
Eriol's eyes opened half way and he smiled weakly at Tomoyo lifting a hand to gently brush from her ear to her chin. She smiled softly at him, murmuring words Sakura couldn't hear. Then his hands fell back onto the ground. Sakura's eyes opened wide and she did the only logical thing......she screamed. Loud and hard.
Sakura woke up screaming, Kero transformed quickly and looked around for anything that could have threatened his mistress, A few seconds later Yue flew into the window, Sakura had made it a habit to keep it open, at his insistence that it was for her safety.....that and he was sure 'That damned bunny' would give him a mental lecture on the importance of respecting people's property. He also looked around for potential threats before looking at his shaken Mistress, he absently noticed the presence of both Fujikata and Touya. But he wasn't really surprised what with Sakura screaming bloody murder.
"Sakura-sama? Are you alright?" Yue asked in his usual monotone voice. After seeing his imuoto was o.k. Touya allowed himself to be annoyed. "Do you know that this is the earliest you ever got up?" He yawned and watched as his father gently comfort his daughter, then after a lot of coaxing on her part, he left for bed. He didn't have any classes today so he was due for a little rest. Touya stayed behind watching as Yukito appeared out of the folded wings. As usual Yukito was confused as to how he got there, he immediately looked to Sakura. "Sakura-chan?" "Fine Yukito-san." "Are you sure?" "Hai." "Good." He managed a smile at Touya. "Looks like I'll be staying over." Touya rolled his eyes. "I think I might have some clothes you can fit into, although we may have to pin it closed around your skinny frame." "You make it seem like I'm unnaturally skinny!" "You are unnaturally skinny!" Yukito pouted but let Touya lead him to his room, he had a good 3 hours until it was 6:00. He figured a few more moments of sleep couldn't hurt. Even though he had technically slept through whatever had gone on. Even Kero went to sleep, although he slept in his big form at the foot of Sakura's bed, sensing his mistress need for comfort. Sakura was glad for it, but she had trouble going back to sleep.
~~~~~~~~Morning. Tomoeda Middle School (From what I remember, most of what we call Middle school takes place in their elementary school as 'Class A' 'B' etc.....unless I'm wrong? O.o) ~~~~~~~~
Sakura was running, she had to get to school. For once she wasn't late, but she just had to get to school now! She had to make sure that....she couldn't even think it, the dream had put too much in her head already. She skidded down the hall, flying pass friendly hellos from others she knew at one point in time. Although it seemed incredibly rude, none of them mattered right now.
She quickly opened her homeroom door panting, the occupants looked over hearing the door being quickly slid open. Tomoyo had her usual smile on, which turned slightly worried as Sakura simply stared at her. Sakura slowly walked over as if afraid her friends image would disappear as it had in her second vision--no, thinking of that would bring pain, she told herself. "Sakura-chan?" Sakura stayed quiet just sitting next to her friend, she knew it wasn't where she sat, oddly enough she had ended up with the same seating arrangements as before and virtually the same people in it too. "Daijoubu desu ka, Sakura-chan?" Sakura simply leaned forward and hugged her, Tomoyo hesitated before patting Sakura's back whispering soothingly to her, that whatever had upset her would be alright. She froze when her shirt began to get moist. "Sakura-chan?....Are you....are you crying?" She leaned back to look at her face and gasped. "You are crying!" She said an accusing tone as she hugged Sakura to her gently stroking her head. "What's the matter? Why are you so sad?"
Tomoyo knew when Eriol and Li came in, she could hear them bickering all the way down the hall, well it was more like Eriol was 'innocently' teasing him and Li was trying to kill him without being caught. She didn't care either way, if anyone could make Sakura feel better it would be Li. They did love each other. Li and Eriol stopped as soon as they saw Sakura weeping into Tomoyo's embrace. Tomoyo was already giving Li a pointed look that seemed to scream 'Come-up-here-and-comfort-your-girlfriend-or-I-WILL- hurt-you!!' He complied walking swiftly over, he gently nudged Sakura up, one look at who it was and she clung right to him, fresh tears sprouting from her lovely emerald eyes. Eriol gave Tomoyo a questioning look, all she could do was shrug. She was just as confused as he was.
~~~~~~~~~Lunch Time~~~~~~~~
Sakura had more or less calmed down, but she kept sneaking glances at Tomoyo as if trying to reassure herself that her best friend was alright. She was even slipping Eriol those same looks and practically clung to Li as she ate her lunch. Tomoyo frowned, she had forgotten her lunch in all this commotion. "I left my lunch in class, I'll be right back." She stood but paused at Sakura's panicked look. "I'll be fine Saku-chan. I'll only be a minute if even that long." She flashed her a reassuring smile before disappearing inside. Sakura whimpered which drew Li's and Eriol's attention. "Sakura, love, what's wrong? You've been jumpy all day." "Yes, what's bothering you Sakura-chan?" Sakura took a deep breath and looked in the direction Tomoyo had gone to before looking down at her sandwich, it only had one bite in it, if even that. "I...had another one of those dreams, you know the ones. When I'm on Tokyo Tower." They both nodded, Sakura always had those dreams when something big and magical was about to happen. "Well what happened?" Li asked as Eriol scooted closer so she didn't have to raise her voice for him. "I was on the building, like I always am. I had a new outfit on, and I see a hunched over figure, so I use fly and go over. I notice the figure hovering over something....that part isn't important, my second one is." "Second?" Eriol asked slightly alarmed. "Hai, in this one the figures standing up, back to me again. I can even hear the person crying. Then the person hunches over and wings sprout from its back, their all bloody and it begins to make a puddle at the person's feet. I ask if the person is alright, and they turn towards the moon...." She paused biting her lip. "And?" Li prompted gently. Sakura sobbed softly. "It was Tomoyo. She was crying blood, and then another figure came and took her away, she didn't want to go so it forced her. I tried to help. But I couldn't move, Earthy was holding me back." She sniffled before crying again. Li and Eriol blinked. "But Sakura, it was only a dream. Don't worry we won't let anyone take Tomoyo away. Right Hiirawagiza?" He blinked when no answer came, he turned ready to repeat himself when he spotted the serious look on his face, Eriol was thinking.
"Hiirawagiza?" "...Sakura, was there any other things in your dream? Another figure? Was Tomoyo different in anyway?" Sakura seemed to be remembering before she nodded. "Yes, she had a symbol on her forehead. But I was too far to see it and it was covered in-" She closed her eyes as the images attacked her again. Li held her to him but she sat her head up to look at Eriol. "And...she was dressed all in white, like a gown or something." He nodded as Li comforted her. He blinked, Tomoyo was taking an awfully long time. "She's going to die." It came so suddenly he almost fell over. He blinked and looked at the source of his shock, a small girl no older than 11 looked back at him, her pink hair brushed up into two long ponytails that reached midback. "I'm sorry what?" "...She's going to die." "...Who...and why would you say that?" "...I say it because it's the truth, and the one who will die is your friend." He blinked, Li was getting angry, the small girl was making Sakura shake. "Get lost kid, we don't have time for your games." Li grunted. The child turned her crimson stare to him. "You can't save her. It's not for you to do, you'll want to. But you can't." She looked back at Eriol. "No matter what you do. She will die." She turned as a boy her age called her. She continued to talk her eyes still trained on the boy and the other kids waiting for her. "Don't forget. She's going to die." Eriol was getting annoyed with her. "We won't let her die; besides she's strong enough to protect herself." She turned and looked at him slowly shaking her head. ".....I'm not talking about Sakura. Tomoyo will die. And not even the cards can save her." She turned as the boy ran up and grabbed her arm dragging her back to there side of the fence.
The others sat there shocked, as the girl passed the fence she stopped grabbing the fence and watched sadly as Tomoyo walked out before the boy pulled her away. Eriol, Sakura, and Li trained their eyes on Tomoyo as she walked over, her attention was on her bento as she searched in it. "I can't seem to find my tea. I know it was packed. I saw it this morning when I left. I might have left it in the car come to think of......Why are you all looking at me like that? It's like you've seen a ghost or something." Sakura broke into a fresh set of tears, and Tomoyo was left confused as Li went stony faced comforting Sakura, and Eriol stared into space with a disbelieving look on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After School~~~~~~~~~
"You'll what!?"
"If you don't answer I swear I'll make sure you never see the light of day again!!"
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'd like to think of it as an unshakable promise..."
"You'd actually kill me?"
"Oh heaven's no! Far too messy for my taste, but I have no qualms about hiring someone to do it......you know I have the power to do it."
Eriol shook his head in disbelief. Of all the things he'd seen in his lifetime he'd never imagined this. He actually thought it impossible, but here he was; sitting in the music room, being trapped on the Piano seat by no other than the picture of perfection herself, Tomoyo Daidouji. It....unnerved him and yet he couldn't say that it was something that wasn't as odd when he thought about it. Tomoyo may have been a sweet and polite girl. But if someone was unlucky enough to get under her skin,-- something he had managed to do once, before he decided to skate along the edge of it for his safety-- they'd regret it. She tended to be very...persuasive when she really wanted something. And more often than not is was usually something Sakura wanted.
This time however, what she wanted Sakura already had, and she out and refused to try to pry it from her; and Ofcorse it would upset Sakura farther if she tried to pry it out of Li, whom would be the most stubborn so she'd probably have to bodily harm him, so Ofcorse that left only one person. Eriol Hiirawagiza, himself. "You really should seek some sort of help for your....mood swings." He winced when he received a solid, and very painful he might add, hit to his right cheek. He should have known better what with Ruby Moon,--whom by the way had told Eriol that it was a girl and that if he ever forgot that for even one second he would regret for all his unnatural life-- whom he had made the mistake of calling 'violent and moody', had promptly left him in the middle of Antarctica in his underwear; and not even his shouts of 'I'm your master' and his 'I-am-your-superior-so- you'd-best-not-defie-me-because-I-can-destroy-you!' look had not saved him from her anger one bit.
"Ow....you have a mean right hook, Tomoyo-san. Did anyone ever tell you that?" "Don't change the subject Hiirawagiza-kun!" He winced and smiled his usual 'I'm-not-going-to-behave-so-you'd-best-get-used-to-it' smile which was promptly diminished by Tomoyo's far more powerful 'You'd-best-try- because-I-can-make-your-life-hell-without-ever-lifting-a-finger-and-still- look-sweetly-innocent' smile. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I was sworn not to tell you!" "By whom?" "I can't tell that either." "Hiirawagiza!!?" He was definitely in for it, not only had he managed to bring out her 'Inner Daidouji' as Kinomoto-sensei had so lovingly dubbed it when Sonomi herself had shown it to him....time after time, and still managed to do over phone; but he had also made her raise her voice in a tone that suggested that not only did she have his number, but she kept close tabs on it on a daily bases. "I'm sorry Tomoyo-san, but I really promised. You wouldn't want me to break a promise would you?" "I'd hate to sound rude, but frankly Hiirawagiza-kun......I don't care." She gave him her sickeningly sweet smile, keeping her hands at both sides of his head to keep him backed up on the piano seat and Piano. In which case he had no chance to escape. Ofcorse he could always push her away, but what with the risk of angering not only her, but a large crew of special security, Daidouji-sama herself, a very powerful mistress of equally powerful cards, a powerful warlock whom also happened to be head of a very powerful clan, two guardian beasts, Two magically powerful deities, whom disregarding who he was to them would help, along with a very strong Kinomoto-san, and Kinomoto-sensei whom was learning to use his power, and half of Tomoeda, would all crush him at the drop of a hat if he had so much as misplaced a hair on her dainty little head. Besides that, he never ever wanted to harm Tomoyo, he had come too close countless times before to test Sakura, to even bare doing it again. "I want to know what's going on.....and I'd prefer to know. Now." He sighed. "I really want to tell you, but I can't." "Hiirawagiza-" "Sakura-chan made me promise not to!!" Whatever she was going to do or say died at her name. She could never do anything against Sakura, not her Sakura. She sighed and backed up freeing him from his lovely prison. Eriol brushed away the fact that he didn't seem to mind being under her one bit, although if he were to nudge her under him and extract a few key articles of clothing, He quickly shoved it to the back of his mind where he hoped it would get salmonella poison and die. "O.k......fine. I won't ask anymore." He sighed. "But if anything happens to Sakura-san you better promise to tell me everything!!" He nodded smiling as per usual. "Scouts honor." "Like you were a scout..." He looked wounded. "Why Tomoyo-san! I'm hurt you think I'd lie!" She gave him that 'don't- start-with-me-today-or-you'll-surely-regret-it-in-the-next-twenty-seconds' look and he backed down. "Your positively no fun Tomoyo-san." "I know."

Besides that, he never ever wanted to harm Tomoyo, he had come too close countless times before to test Sakura, to even bare doing it again. "I want to know what's going on.....and I'd prefer to know. Now." He sighed. "I really want to tell you, but I can't." "Hiirawagiza-" "Sakura-chan made me promise not to!!" Whatever she was going to do or say died at her name. She could never do anything against Sakura, not her Sakura. She sighed and backed up freeing him from his lovely prison. Eriol brushed away the fact that he didn't seem to mind being under her one bit, although if he were to nudge her under him and extract a few key articles of clothing, He quickly shoved it to the back of his mind where he hoped it would get salmonella poison and die. "O.k......fine. I won't ask anymore." He sighed. "But if anything happens to Sakura-san you better promise to tell me everything!!" He nodded smiling as per usual. "Scouts honor." "Like you were a scout..." He looked wounded. "Why Tomoyo-san! I'm hurt you think I'd lie!" She gave him that 'don't- start-with-me-today-or-you'll-surely-regret-it-in-the-next-twenty-seconds' look and he backed down. "Your positively no fun Tomoyo-san." "I know."
