Chapter 1. Memories





Darkness and cold engulfed Sakura's body. She shook all over and she couldn't see anything. What was happening? What was wrong? All she could feel was utter cold. It felt as if she had just jumped into a pool covered in ice. She couldn't breath and she couldn't hear. It was as if she was deaf. She couldn't do anything to stop it.

"Sakura, Sakura please wake up!" somebody was shouting. Suddenly warmth rushed over her body and light flooded her path. The cold was gone and so was the darkness. She could hear people saying her name and mumbling things. Sakura opened her eyes and struggled to take in the bright light.

"Sakura!" It was Syoran. He was standing over her and so was Kero. Sakura tried to get out of bed but Syaroan just pushed her back down.

"Let me go Syoran!" Sakura shouted.

"You need rest Sakura" Syoran said. He looked pale and releaved.

"What....what happened?" Sakura asked rubbing her forehead.

"You were taken by some one. When we found you, you were hardley breathing and you were out cold. We tried to wake you up but you just stayed like that. You've...you've been out for two weeks. We decided to take you to my place for safety reasons so we had to deal with your dad and brother. We told them that you were staying at Tomoyo's house for two weeks because she was taking you to her grandmothers place, but then the subject of how come she didn't ask us first came up. We just didn't tell them."

"Why where you shouting?" Sakura asked.

"Because you just started shaking all over. You were having some kind of a fit. I was trying to wake you up ." Syoran said.

"O...ok who took me then?" Sakura asked wiping sweat off her cheek.

"We don't know. You were only gone for two days and then we found you outside my house. You didn't look harmed so we decided whoever wanted you, didn't want you dead." Syoran said.

Sakura started up at him.

"Do you think you can remember anything?" Kero said.

"I don't think so."Sakura said squinting.

"But then we won't know who's after you," Syoran cried, "Please try Sakura!"

"But..but I can't. I just don't remember!" Sakura said frowning, trying with all her energy to remember a figure or face.

"I...I've got an idear that might just work." Kero said rubbing his little chin.

"What Kero?" Sakura said.

"Ok but it's only a hunch. I think I can use my speacil powers. Sakura I can extract, from your mind, what ever you saw last night if you'll let me." Kero said, "Me and the brat will be able to see who it was and you don't need to worrie. It dosn't hurt and you'll be asleep the whole time."

"You can do that Kero!" Syoran said in surprise

"Yes," Kero said rubbing his forehead, "But it does take up alot of my energy."

"And you'll only look at the ones last night?" Sakura asked thinking about what would happen if they found out how she felt about Syoran.

"Yes I don't think you want me looking into your private life, do you?" Kero said as a big grin spread from ear to ear.

"No!" Sakura shouted, smiling, "I don't think you need to see nothing else inside my head."

"Is that ok with you Sakura?" Syoran said looking down at her.

"Yes.....ok but nothing else remember!"

So Kero meditated to get ready as it took him alot of energy to perform. Sakura settled down on the bed ready to sleep. Syoran talked to Sakura till she got tired and fell to sleep. After a few hours she fell asleep.

"Kero...she's ready." Syoran whispered.







Kero flew over to them and hovered above Sakura. He put his paws above Sakura's forehead and a bright light started to glow. Syoran crept closer to see what was happening. Kero picked up the bright light in his hands and flew to Syoran.

"This is what she saw before she passed out." Kero said letting the light out of his paws and sitting on Syoran's shoulder. The room went dark again and the only light was coming from the picture that was now in midair infront of Syoran

ran and Kero. Syaroan lent forward and saw, now much clearer, Sakura and him walking up the street talking and now they could hear them.

"Sakura all I'm saying is that my family expect me to take some of the Clow Cards back to them." Syaroan aurgued.

"But Syaroan can't you take a fake."

"Oh yes that will work, espeacily when some one trys to use it." Syaroan cried

"Oh Syaroan they won't go with you they only want to stay with me!" Sakura said

"What if we.."

"No Syaroan we can't. I'm not going to make them go with you." Sakura interupted.

"Ok Sakura. I won't make you." Syaroan said

"Oh thanks!" Sakura said hugging him and then running up the street, "Cya! I'm late to meet Tomoyo"

"Yeah bye!" Syaroan cried back.

Sakura was running down the street heading towards her house. She must have met with Tomoyo that afternoon maybe she knows anything Syaroan thought. Sakura entered her house and ran up to her room where Tomoyo was sitting on Sakura's bed facing the other way.

"Hi Tomoyo!" Sakura cried and her distrant voice echoed around Syaroan and Kero. Tomoyo didn't answer. Sakura walked around to her. Her eyes where white and her face pale.

"Tomoyo mmmmm!" Sakura was suddenly grabbed by her and a cloth was shoved on her mouth. Sakura was strugling to get free and then she colasped to the ground. Tomoyo looked down at her then grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the door. She then picked her up around the waist and carried her down the stairs. Sakura was still conscious but was weak from whatever was on the towel.

"Tomoyo! She was behind this!" Syaroan cried looking confused.

"Sshh!" Kero cried

Tomoyo was taking Sakura somewhere into the forest. Far into the forest. It seemed hours till she carried Sakura to an old cottage. She dropped her onto the ground at her feet

"Tomoyo?" Sakura said weakly

"Yes Sakura it's me!" She said back kicking Sakura in the side.

"Arrg Tomoyo what are you doing?" Sakura fliched

"I'm getting rid of you once and for all!" Tomoyo's voice cackled

"What?"

"Ever since Syaroan came I saw a change in you. You were affectionet towards him and suddenly he was the same way towards you! I was jealous. I enveied you and Syaroan."

"What do you mean Tomoyo?" Sakura asked sitting up.

"I mean silly girl," Tomoyo cried kicking her back down to the ground, "That I like Syaroan, and I'm telling you now he's mine!"

Syaroan looked at the picture surprised.

"Me? She wants me!" Syaroan said.

"Ssh!" kero shouted once again.

Tomoyo had now walked around Sakura to the couch. Sakura sat up and shook her head.

"Tomoyo please I'm your friend."

"You my friend Ha! I just hung around you so I wouldn't seem so noticable. Syaroan wouldn't have liked me then." Tomoyo cried. A single tear rolled down her cheek and she wiped it away quickly.

"Why doesn't he like me? I have the magic too!"

"What Tomoyo?" Sakura said in surprise.

"You heard me I have magic too, unfortunatly I'm not as powerful as you and Syaroan. I only discovered it a couple of days ago so I didn't have time to tell him. He only likes you becuse you have magic too!" She shouted

"Tomoyo you could've told me!"

"You wouldn't understand!" She cried turning away

"Just tell me what's wrong." Sakura said sympathetecly

"On Wensday night I chased a creature into the woods thinking it was a card. I gained on it and jumped. I pined it beneath me and then a bright light flew around me I couldn't see and when it stopped it was gone. When I returned home I went to my room, to my mirror. I...I changed into this!" She burst into tears and turned to Sakura. Her face was hidious! Her eyes where like cats but a deep red. Her face was white as pale as a ghosts. She was crying blood and it streamed down her chalky cheeks.

Syaroan gasped and looked at her. Waht could've done this? He thought feeling stunned.

Sakura gasped. Tomoyo looked at her in anger as if Sakura had just throne the worst insult at her. She got up and walked slowly to Sakura.

"You see! you are scared of me!" She screamed and her voice was now was a high pitched screech.

"No um Tomoyo it's..it's ok!" Sakura said quickly

"What! Ok! No it's not, look at me!" She cried slaping Sakura hard across her face.

"I will try and help! Please Tomoyo!" She said

"You can help by keeping out of the way till Syaroan is mine!"

"Wait...wait Tomoyo!" But suddenly Tomoyo put her hands arounde Sakura's neck and lifted her off the ground. She lifted her up to her face. When Sakura looked into her eyes she collapased. Tomoyo cackled as she turned back to normal. Then it went black. That was the last thing Sakura saw that night.

Syaroan and Kero couldn't beleave it. Tomoyo all this time!

"Kero what...what do we do? What happened to Tomoyo?" Syaroan asked shocked at what he had just seen.

"I don't know, I havn't seen anything like this!" Kero said. He flew back over to Sakura, as she was stirring. Syaroan ran over to. She opened her eyes to look up at them.

"Who was it then?" Sakura asked yawning.

"It was...Tomoyo!" Syaroan said quietly

"What?" Sakura cried jumping up.


W notes: Well that was fun to write! I Hope you won't kill me for making Tomoyo the bad. Like I said I do like her but I wanted a weird twist in my story! R+R
