Disclaimer: I do not own CardCaptor Sakura or any of these characters. Do I look like
one of the Clamp girls to you? ^_^ This is part 1 of my extended horror fic entitled,
"Stranger in the Shadows". I like using the first original soundtrack of CCS for the
background music to this story. Hope you like it!
--------------------------
Tomoyo sat on her bed silently doing her spelling homework. The only light surrounding
her was a dim lamp in the corner. There was just enough light for her to see and no more
than that. Her mother, Sonomi, was away at some meeting and wasn't expected to return
home until much later when Tomoyo would be in bed. The telephone rang loudly and
Tomoyo looked up startled from her paper. The blinds were down and it was pitch black
outside. Her bodyguards downstairs were locking up the house. She reached over and
picked up the phone.

"Moshi Moshi! Daidouji Residence" she answered cheerfully.

"..........." there was a silence that filled the other end of the phone line as she gripped the
receiver.

"H-Hello?" she repeated blinking wondering who was calling her and not talking.

There was simply breathing on the other end. Harsh breathing. (The classic horror flic
stuff ^_~)

Tomoyo shivered as a chill ran up her back. She swallowed hard and slammed the phone
down. She stared at it for a minute more as one of her bodyguards knocked on her door.

"Miss Daidouji? Is everything alright?"

"..H-hai" she managed a shaky reply as she heard the guard walk back down the stairs.

She shook the feeling off and turned back to her homework.

::4am in the morning::

RING! RING! RING! RING! The phone rang loudly throughout the dark room. Her
mother had arrived home shortly around ten. Tomoyo stirred at the slight noise. Sonomi,
after ignoring it for quite a while, finally sat up and answered.

"Moshi Moshi...?"

"Is Tomoyo there..?" a voice answered.

Sonomi looked at the clock. It read "4:12am".

"Yes, but who may I ask is calling?" she said annoyed. She figured it was one of Tomoyo's
little friends but why would they be calling at this time of night?

Another silence on the other end.

"Hello?" Sonomi asked again. The sound of someone hanging up came from the other end
and she sighed and set the phone down. She rolled over and tried to get back to sleep,
even though she knew it would be virtually impossible.

::At School::

Tomoyo walked into the empty classroom and sat down at her desk. She always came
early because there was nothing to do at home. Her mother always left early so what good
was it to sit around and talk to bodyguards? Still, they were nice never the less. She sighed
as she set her bag on the floor and put her head down on the desk. She closed her eyes
and rested for a minute. That late night 4:00am phone call had woken her up and she had
trouble getting back to sleep. A shadow crept over her and she slowly looked up.
Someone was standing behind her and walking ever closer. Her eyes darted from side to
side and she slowly turned around to defend herself. She suddenly thrust out her chair and
leaped at the person behind her.

Tomoyo opened her eyes. She stood there with...Eriol? The young dark haired blue eyed
boy held her arm gently inches away from his face where she had intended to hit him. He
smiled even though he was quite surprised by her action.

"E-Eriol-kun?!" she said blushing madly and sweatdropping. "Gomen Nasai! I-I-I thought
that...I.."

"It's alright. Why did you thrash out like that?" he said letting go of her arm.

She sighed and pulled her chair back up to the desk. She sat down and turned and looked
up at him.

"It's just that.....well..." she started looking down for a second.

'Should I tell him?' She looked up at his kind, caring, smiling face.

"It's silly really! Just, last night we got a few calls and well....I'm just all shook up about
it...."

"Don't worry....I wouldn't let anything happen to one of my friends. Especially, not my
closest one. Besides, you seem like you could defend yourself pretty well if anyone tried
anything!" he replied smiling down at her.

She smiled back. His smile was warm and friendly. Students began to fill the room,
including Sakura and Syaoran. Eriol sat down with the rest of the students as
Terada-sensei walked in. He started class as Tomoyo's mind thought about the events
from last night. She shrugged it off and began to pay attention.
