AN: To masterofwords- I did post this before, but I decided on bigger chapters... Meet Tomoyo. She is different.

Chapter 3 - Meet Tomoyo

He quickly flipped to the chapter.

'I, Clow Reed, have discover how to resurect a human being after they have died. I myself do not dare to temper with nature, but you the reader might.'

It gave a list of instuctions and items with which to prefrom the spell. He grabbed his jacket, and practicly flew out the door, and onto the streets of Hong Kong, holding the list that he would need to buy the ingredients.

As he walked through the streets, his doubts came back. He heard some girls behind him giggle. Sakura sometimes giggled like that, but would she still be the same? He bought this and that, magical things and normal things, candles etc... All in order to bring her back. He should call Tomoyo to tell her about this...

He shivered at the thought of calling her, though... He had loved Sakura, but Tomoyo had as well.. What happened to Tomoyo.. was scary. He might as well visit her in person... It might help her. He'd make the trip other, and bring her back with him.. He couldn't bring some of the ingredients on the plane with him, they couldn't come through Customs...

***
He was exuasted from the plane, so he stayed at a hotel near the airport. He took a taxi to the Daidoji mansion, the voice coming out of the intercom saying..

"This is the Daidoji mansion. Name?"

"Li Syaron. I'm here to see Daidoji Tomoyo."

"Do you know her current state?"

"Yes, I think this might help her somewhat."

The gates opened and he walked to the giant building. Tomoyo had refused to go anywhere after she...

He knocked the large ortimental knocker. A maid answered, wearing the little black dress and frilly white apron.

"Li Syoran? Please come in. Mrs. Daidoji would like to see you first."

It was reasonable that she would want to see him. He was led to one of those old-fasioned detailed-wallpaper cozy-fireplace living rooms, where Mrs. Daidoji was sitting. She smiled a weary smile at him, and gestered for him to sit down.

"So... Long time, eh, Li-san?"

"Yes, Daidoji-san. I'd like to see Tomoyo."

"You don't want to haem her, do you?"

"No."

"Okay, I trust you. Well then... Kikyo!"

The maid answered. "Yes, Daidoji-san?"

"Show him the way to Tomoyo's room."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then you, come with me."

She led him up several flights of stairs until they reached a room near the top, with a door. The door had no window, and had several locks. The maid took out a set of keys and unlocked everything. The door swung open.

So how was Tomoyo? Why all the sercurity? What could require all this?

...

Tomoyo was insane.

Not completely. Just tipping off the edge of sanity. After losing Sakura, she broke. Just.. counldn't handle much. Syoaran had loved Sakura, of course but Tomoyo.. Tomoyo had too. But with Tomoyo, there were complecations. such as her being female, and me. Tomoyo was still kind to me but I could tell she would have liked it if I hadn't come into the picture at all.

So now she stayed in her room, sitting and watching all her tapes. She refused to leave. Her food was brought up, her clothes she made to pass the time, occaisionally. They were all comtumes of the strangest sort, like the battle costumes that Sakura had worn while she was capturing the clow cards. Tomoyo screamed in her sleep, when she slept at all. She would have commited suicide by now if her mother hadn't kept everything that could be used as a weapon away from her. Syaron hoped that he could help her out, that maybe the news he brought could save her mind.

Inside, she was sitting and sewing clothes. She was wearing the yellow dress Sakura had worn for catching The Ilusion. He looked around, and noticed that that television was behind a very solid screen, and most of the room was padded. A little disturbing, to see Tomoyo. Her eyes were unnarturally wide, and she was smiling brilliantly. I had to whisper as not to make her jump.

"Tomoyo-chan... It's me, Li-kun..."

She jumped out of her seat anyway, the dress and needle falling to the soft ground. She smiled at him, her fixed seemingly fixed that way. She didn't speak, I'd heard she hadn't for a long time.

"I have to tell you something... I think I can bring Sakur-"

Tomoyo screamed, either with delight or rage.

"Sakura? Oh Sakura! She's back? Did she not really die? Was it all a mistake?"

She seemed a lot more normal, and her face had straightened itself out. I decided it would be okay to tell her about the spell.

"No, but there's a spell I can use to bring her back!"

She squealed with delight, and I smiled as I had not for ages.

***

The spell was to be preformed at midnight, of a full moon. Luckily the next full moon was in a week. I let Tomoyo follow me around for the rest of the week. I took her swimming, once, and I knew that she was getting better. She had started taking pictures of me, but thank god I didn't have to wear costumes.

I enjoyed her company. It was nice. We talked, although sometimes she was a little strange. I was happy for her, and for myself.

***

At last it was time for the spell. I set it up, the knives in the right places and the candles lit. Tomyo wasn't there, I didn't dare let her be. She was getting better, but she could interfere and cause it all to be lost.

I drew blood from my arm with each knife, and dropped it in the cirle of candles. Some chanting was done, and a wind blew all the candles out. There was a heavy scent of lavendar in the air, and a blurry figure started to appear. It flickered, and there was Sakura lying on the ground. He cried and embraced her, kissing her face. She blinked, then fell asleep. I carried her down to a bedroom, didn't matter which one.

It's not over.. Although it seems so. Reveiw, please?
