Hi everyone! I'm Bea, and I hope you enjoy this story. I have to say though, this is my first Card Captor
(Sakura) story, and um... I have read a lot of the manga, but haven't watched all that much of the Anime, Working on
that. :-) Anyway, any comments and suggestions are really appreciated! (Good and Bad) In case you're wondering,
this story deals with delicate things which are rather adult.(Rape, mainly) I won't be going into detail about what
happens, but if you don't like the idea, that's fine, I'm not going to force you to read. Uh, the characters I'm going to
use are not mine, they belong to CLAMP. only a small number, which will have small parts, will be mine. This is
probably going to be a Sakura and Li story. I'm rather in the dark about most of this series, so please, if you're a
hard-core Card Captor fan, then please exuse any errors I might have. Okay, enough of this rambling.
Oh! One more thing, though. I wrote this while listening to Mannheim Steamroller's CD, Christmas Extraodiare,
Tack 6, and I got the idea after reading a book that dealt with this kind of thing. I think if you own this CD, you
should listen to it while reading. Okay? Please? Fine.... Shutting up now.

Dreams of Darkness
Part I
"Disaster"

Sakura stood in the now empty classroom, the lights were off, but it being the afternoon, the sunlight provided
more than enough light, though not as much as the summer sun did. It was December a week from Christmas, and
was rather cold, but Sakura hadn't a jacket, since she had forgotten it. She knew she would be late getting home, she
had to find her necklace. The small charm which she always wore, and was really the Star Staff, in it's smaller
version, and key form, had been lost. Of course, this was weird since the chain was undamaged, and she didn't think
it could have fallen off. She hadn't told Li of this yet, she knew he wouldn't be happy, and Tomoyo had been absent
so she hadn't a chance to inform her. Sakura was searching every possible spot that the key could have fallen, and yet
she couldn't find it. 'Maybe I lost it somewhere else?' She thought as she got to her knees from the crawling position
and sighed deeply. If she didn't find the key, she wouldn't be able to use the Star Cards, and Clow Cards. Yes, it had
been a while since she had passed the Final Judgment, and she had yet to convert a good percentage of the Clow
Cards, to Star Cards.
"Sakura? What are you doing here?" Li asked as he walked into the room and found Sakura on her knees, staring
up at the ceiling, her emerald green eyes shimmering in the sunlight with tears. Sakura quickly stood and looked at Li,
her hand going up to her neck as she pulled out the chain which held her Star Key, prepared to battle. "Li..." Sakura
whispered, her hand dropping as she realized who it was, and with the hand, her empty chain. Li gave Sakura a
questioning look. "What are -you- doing here?" Sakura asked evasively. "I had Soccer practice and came to get my
stuff, but why are you here?" Li asked, lifting up his backpack as proof and quickly getting back on the topic.
"IlosttheStarKey,Li,I'msooooooosorry.Idon'tevenknowhow!" Sakura said quietly, in a whisper. Li dropped his
backpack to the floor and stared at Sakura in shock. "Sakura! You know t-" Li was interrupted by Sakura's tears and
she said, "I know Li, I know..." She stared down at her feet, the tears falling. "I-I have to go..." Sakura said as she
grabbed her backpack and ran from the room.
Li stared after her, he knew he should run after her, but what then? Comfort her? How? Li had pretty much
locked away his heart after.... "Shoot!" Li mumbled angrily as he grabbed his own backpack, and ran after Sakura
before his mind had any idea of what was going on.


Sakura was out of the doors of the school and wanted to just fly away from here. She knew Li might follow
her, and if she could fly, he wouldn't be able to. A block from home, she wasn't sure if she had lost Li or not, she was
stopped by some man. The man had blue eyes, and blue hair that was rather spiky. He smiled harshly at Sakura, and
proceeded to ask, "Are you lost, little girl?" Sakura shook her head, fearful of this man, and tried to walk past him.
"Are you sure? You -look- lost." He said, grabbing, and holding onto Sakura's wrist. "Let me take you home, little
girl." The man said coldly as he led her into an alley. "Let me go!" Sakura screamed as loud as she could, but the
streets were deserted. The man's other cold hand reached for Sakura's mouth, and he clamped the hand over it so she
could not scream again.
"Little girl, aren't you sleepy?" He asked as he opened one of the doors that led into the alley and led her into a
room where there was a mattress, old, and moldy. The man took some of the rope that was lying in the room, and
tied Sakura's arms together, over her head, and to the hook about the bed. He then proceeded to smile as he put a
piece of fabric on which he had put something like liquid on, into her mouth. Sakura soon fell unconscious.

Li growled in frustration. She had been in his sights the entire way, until she turned the corner a block
from her home, and Li had been stopped by a change in the traffic. When he had been allowed to go on, she was
gone. It was a straight way from there to her house, and he didn't think she could have been that fast. But still, he
couldn't find her.
"Let me go!" A painfully familiar voice cried out. Li recognized it as Sakura's immediately and ran straight ahead.
Li didn't hear, or see, a sign of Sakura from that last scream. "Come on..." Li growled. Finally he passed it, the alley.
After hearing a cry, he ran down the alley and tried to place out of which the cry could have come from. Not another
sound was heard, and Li started to fear the worst....
