On sunday afternoon, after Tomoyo's bodyguards picked her up at Sakura's house, Sakura decided to face her fears and check out the Sakura tree her and Tomoyo saw last night. She dressed into a white outfit and walked back to the tree in the park.



She took her time because the scene was so lovely. It was the time of year that the Cherry blossoms start to bloom and fall off the branches. It looked like heaven. The wind blew making her dress flutter and the blossoms twirling everywhere with the wind.



When she arrived, she sensed something but she couldn't put her finger on it. It was similar to a clow card but not quite either. She inched slowly behind the tree expecting to find something like a ghost. She was shivering terribly.



"Sakura..." came Syaoran standing behind her wearing his traditional Li family robe.



Sakura screamed at the surprise and she tripped over the tree's roots. She looked behind her to see Syaoran helping her up.



"Oh its only you Syaoran-kun, dont ever do that again please." said Sakura brushing off the dirt from her dress and wincing at the pain of falling down.



"Sorry." Syaoran blushed furiously when he realized that her ankle was bleeding. He took out his hankercheif and bent down to tie it around the wound.



Sakura looked down and also realized that she was bleeding. When he finished (still blushing madley, Sakura doesnt even know!) he looked around and spotted a small but sharp spear near the tree root that Sakura tripped over.



"A trap..." whispered Syaoran.



"What? But why would someone lay a trap here?" said Sakura.



Suddenly the surroundings got darker. Syaoran looked up to see an eclispe. There was no news about an eclispe today. Sakura trembled and held onto Syaoran making him feel dizzy from over blushing. But he held onto Sakura tightly comforting her. The sun was slowly getting smaller within every minuet. Now there was total darkness.



Syaoran stood up to look around. The eclispe seemed like it was staying. He felt something horrible and ran around to sense where it was coming from Sakura backed to the Sakura tree sitting on its roots shivering. Was there really a ghost? Syaoran ran over to her and told her to stay here while he go look for something.



Suddenly, two spears popped up from the ground and it cut Sakura's arm and her thigh. She cried from the pain. Syaoran couldnt stand it much longer and made her follow him. He wasnt going to lose someone he loves dearly to this strange trap. She couldnt walk much longer and she fell down. Syaoran piggybacked her and ran toward his home. Sakura felt sleepy and laid her head on Syaoran's shoulders.



He couldn't believe how light she was. He blushed lightly and took her to his apartment. Something or someone was after Sakura and he wasnt going to let anything happen to her. What he didnt know was that shadows were lurking behind him and staring at him while he ran away with Sakura on his back.



A bigger shadow arose and stared at them.

"Sakura, one day I will make you mine. I will have to kill that brat to get to you. I'll be watching your every move. Such a bright star." And then he dissapeared.
