I know chapter one was short and I'm sorry. This chapter will hopefully be longer than that and be more um...fast pace? It's going to introduce a few more characters.

Disclaimer: I do not own cardcaptors

Toya, Yukita- 25

Syaron, Tomoyo, Eriol-17

Sakura-16 going on 17

( Obviously all their friends in class are the same age as them. I'm not listing the ages of minimal characters.)

Chapter 2: Bumps and bruises

Sakura let out a sigh as she reached her apartment building. She was dreading the moment that she had to enter the small flat. It wasn't that she hated her home. Just the people in it. And she didn't feel like dealing with them after having tried on multiple clothes Tomoyo made for a fashion show. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed, it was ridiculous how many outfits the girl had that actually fit her without needing to be altered. In fact she was in one. Tomoyo had told her she could keep one of them, and insisted that she pick it out.

Sakura had tried to stop her, but the girl had shoved the garment in her hand and pushed her into the changing room. Sakura had sighed and pulled off her uniform and changed into the garment. She had to admit it was cute, and it suited her. It was a simple thigh length petal pink sundress with wings on the back. Tomoyo was kind enough to give her a pair of matching flats and black knee length leggings. She had smiled when she came out of the dressing room and had been hesitant to take the outfit.

She walked up the stairs to her floor, avoiding the elevator after a terrifying experience. She shook the thoughts away and prepared to go into her apartment without worry since she had not seen any car that belonged to her parents. She hummed a light tune that expressed her care free nature and didn't notice someone in front of her, as she was looking at her feet and how they moved with each step. She prepared herself for a collision with the floor, but she was grabbed and pulled back to her feet before that could happen.

Her emerald eyes looked up at the owner of the hand that was now grasped around her wrist, making sure that she wouldn't fall again. What she saw made her breath catch in her throat and her body tense. He was gorgeous! Amber eyes that were burning with such intensity! They were hard though, closed off and serious, it made her sad to think that she might look similar, since she too, was guarding something deep, and was having inner turmoils. The boys hair was long enough to reach into his eyes and fall over them. It was messy and a delicious chocolate brown. She could tell from the fitted olive green tee shirt that he was toned-not grossly muscled like some people- and he was tall! She had to look up and estimated he had five inches on her. He had pants(Of course why wouldn't he?) which were a dark blue denim with silver chains going from one of the front belt loops to one in the back.

The male didn't seem to want to let her go, or he didn't realize it. Whatever it was the female could feel her face heating up and knew that it was the color of a ripe tomato. All he was doing was watching her with his intense amber eyes that made her want to break down and cry. She wanted to tell him everything, and yet at the same time she didn't want to burden him with her problems, she didn't want him to hate her.

It was a new feeling that was running through her, she didn't care if people hated her, or ignored her, but he was different, she wanted him to like her, to talk to her, be friends with her, even though it was going to be very unlikely.

She watched as the male opened his mouth to speak, and then closed it, changing his mind, though his grip on her was never released. They were frozen in a moment. Sakura looked away and gently pulled at her taken arm. The boy jumped and immediately dropped it before looking away from the girl, his face a light pink. "Um, I'm Li Syaoron," he said after a minute.

Sakura looked at her feet and put her hands behind her back. "I-I'm K-Kinomoto Sakura," she whispered turning an even deeper shade of red.

Sakura looked up at Syaoron and and was about to ask him something, but was interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind her. The Honey haired girl stiffened in fear, and it didn't go unnoticed by the male in front of her. He watched as fear crept into her eyes, and wanted nothing more than to hug her. He kept himself under control though, knowing that it would be awkward getting a hug from a complete stranger. Instead he looked over the girls shoulder. A man and woman were standing there looking at Sakura with harsh eyes. They were old, the man having wisps of gray in his hair and the woman had wrinkles in her face, not many, but enough to show how old she was. They were both dressed in dark clothing, and the woman had a camera in hand. A new camera.

Syaoron wouldn't think anything of it if he didn't catch the smirk that passed between the two, and the lust that filled the male's eyes when he looked Sakura over. Syaoron kept his composure making it seem like he wasn't about to rip the mans eyeballs out for looking at such a beautiful creature in such a way.

"Sakura dear. It's time to go home and eat," the woman said.

Syaoron could hear the falseness in her tone. It was very convincing, but he was used to searching out the fakes. A shiver ran down his spine as he thought about what this girl was going through, and he wanted to make it stop.

"It was lovely meeting you Li-kun," the angel spoke breaking him from his thoughts.

He watched as she bowed to him and then walked to the door that was next to his own. He waited until they were all inside their apartment before entering his own.

A sigh escaped his lips as he fell onto his bed, worried about what they were doing over their to the angel. He listened to the wall next to his bed, the wall that was shared by Sakura's apartment, and heard nothing. He laid like that for hours, hearing nothing but silence until suddenly he heard a scream from the room next to him.

It was muffled, but none the less, still a scream, and not one that would come out of the TV set either. This was real. He sat up and pressed his ear to the wall, making out, muffled, and loud words. "Little bitch! Come back here! It'll only hurt for a moment, I know you'll enjoy it,"

Syaoron growled and thought about what must be going on in the other room. There really wasn't much left to the imagination after he heard something hit the wall, and whimpering. He thought about the camera in the box that he had seen earlier and figured that the two adults were doing something sick and twisted. From what he could guess that meant the girl was being abused...and at this moment...raped.

He jumped off his bed and ran out the door, passing his mother and cousins in the process making them curious. He turned the knob on his neighbors door and groaned when it was locked. Pushing all sense and reason aside he kicked the door down. He didn't pause as he stepped through the threshold and into the mimic apartment. It was quiet, but he could hear the muffled cries of the girl, thus leading him to the room that was where things were taking place.

He had done some stupid and reckless things in the past, but nothing compared to this. He was going to do what? Something! He wasn't going to leave such as sweet and innocent girl in a hell like this. He barged into the room, seeing the girls mother video taping what the father was doing. Both paused when he entered the room. He looked at the girl who was pinned into the bed and had no top on, her pajama bottoms and bra were still on though, so he had made it.

With out a moments hesitation he rammed into the bulky man and threw him off the girl, his adrenaline was pumping and his training had kicked in. He watched as the man struggled to get up, and the wife was going towards her husband concerned. Syaoron took the opportunity to pick the female up and take her out of the flat. He made sure to grab her shirt that had been removed before leaving and put it on top of the girls chest.

He walked out of the room ignoring the shouts from the wife to bring their daughter back. His mind was getting her to safety. He entered his home and looked down at the girl, who had fallen unconious sometime during his rescue. He smiled sadly, and looked up, wiping any form of happiness off his face when he saw his mother and two cousins staring at him. "Don't ask," he said with a glare before going into his room.

He laid the girl down on his bed, pushing away the covers, and then quickly slid the top back onto her small body, glad that she was alright. He reached down and pulled the covers up over her body and left he room quietly.

He sighed and combed a hand through his hair as he sat on the couch. So much for his first day in a new town.

He didn't know what was so important or special about the girl, he had met plenty and had gone out with a few here and there, but none of then grabbed his attention like Sakura. Maybe it was the fact that her eyes were the most beautiful emerald he had ever seen, or that she was so shy and just seemed so innocent. All the other girls he had met were liars, cheaters, and honestly he was glad that he didn't get very far with them since they could have an STD or something.

He felt a presence sit next to him and looked over to find his mother sitting down her back straight, her whole being was calm, yet authoritative. Her hair was long, black and silky. Her eyes are a stunning steel with a hint of violet in them. She was wearing a white dress that fell to her ankles and a beaded belt with metal hoops around her waist to add some color. "I-I couldn't just leave her there," He whispered looking at his fists, which were resting on his knees. "Please don't be mad,"

"I'm Not mad. A little confused Xiǎo láng, but not mad," she answered before standing up.

She gave him a quick kiss on the forehead before retreating to her room. Syaoron sighed and grabbed a pillow and blanket from the cupboard before laying on the couch to sleep for the evening.
