Chapter 3 :
-"Hey, Sakura !! Where were you?" Sakura came in and closed the door behind her.
-"I...I was...talking with Syaoran." Tomoyo looked at Sakura with stars in her eyes.
-"Awww...what did you speak about?"
-"........er...nothing."
-"...huh? Nothing?"
Sakura smiled to her friend Tomoyo, implicitly telling her not to ask more. 'I don't want to try convince her that was I saw actually a ghost once again.'
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
-"Sakura?"
-"............."
-"Sakura???"
-"......"
Tomoyo nugged her friend.
-"Huh? What?"
-"What are you thinking about? Do you know you are supposed to eat when it is dinner time?"
Sakura gave a look to her plate, and realized that she had not started eating yet, whereas the others had almost finished.
-"Hoe..." and she filled her mouth with food.
Tomoyo looked at her friend, with worry. 'She's still upset about that ghost...'
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
-"Awwwww !!!!!! Tomorow, we're gonna have a walk in the mountain !! I love that !!"
-"Chiharu, I heard the teachers telling that the weather would be bad, I'm not sure if it's gonna be that cool..."
-"Of course it'll be !!"
-"Hey, please can we sleep? I'm...tired, I don't wanna fall asleep while walking tomorow !!" said Sakura. 'And I need to sleep early I don't want to see that ghost again.'
-"Aw...okay, Sakura you're not funny. BUT I'm a nice girl, so I'm gonna agree with you. Good night !!" and Chiharu turned the lights off.

Sakura's dream
~~Return to your true form, Clow card!!
After the card was sealed, it flew to Sakura's hand.
-"Yeah !! I got it Kero-chan !!!" Then she looked at the magical card in her hands.
-"What card is it, anyway?"
-"It's "the cake" card!! It means you can create as many cakes as you want when you release it !!
-"GREAAAAAAAT !!!!!!!!!!"~~
Sakura's dream number two
~~'Where...where am I?' Around her, Sakura could see nothing but darkness. 'I....hate darkness.' she started walking in the dark, and suddenly saw a dim light not too far away from her.'Hey...what's that?' slowly, the light grew bigger and bigger...and Sakura heard a voice coming from this light. ~If I can't love...then...nobody will.~
'What?' The light grew even more bigger, so that it was taller than Sakura, and turned into the form of a human.
'...what is that?' Two eyes appeared in the light. Deep grey eyes....sad eyes.
~...nobody will...~ ~~
Sakura awoke with a start, only to find her staring into the eyes that she just saw in her dream. She wanted to scream, but no sound came out of her mouth. As the ghostly figure looked at Sakura, the young girl started to cry. '...no...not her again...'
The ghost closed her eyes, bowed her head, and started fading.
Sakura continued crying for long minutes, scared to death, until she fell asleep once again.

-"HELLO GIRLS !!!!!!!" yelled a black haired boy as he closed the door behing him.
-"YAMAZAKI !! Can't you knock before entering a room?!"
-"No, I can't." Chiharu came up to him and patted his cheek. "Bad boy."
The other girls looked at the two lovers. 'they're cute together...' thought Sakura, smiling.
-"I must punish you for being impolite."
-"This was not impolite!"
-"Yes it was."
-"Your punishment is to kneel down and ask for forgiveness."
-"What? I'd rather die."
-"WHAT?" Yamazaki smiled and kissed his girlfriend on the cheek. 'They...really love each other...' thought Sakura. The word 'love' made her remember her dream. 'I must tell Syaoran about this. I will speak to him after the walk.'
Not too long after this, all children were out for the walk. Sakura was talking with her friends, Rika, Tomoyo and Chiharu. Eriol was walking next to miss Mizuki, and Yamazaki was the very last one, stoping every minute to inspect the vegetation. They were on a small path lost in the woods, and Yamazaki was walking extremly slowly, so that he could find something he knew about, to tell a lie again to his friend Syaoran.
-"Hey, boys...hurry up !!"
-"Yeah yeah....Yamazaki, please stop talking and walk faster!!! The others are all waiting for us!!"
-"Okay...WAIT !! Look at these flowers !! Do you know what is said about them?"
-"No...and I don't care...Yamaz-"
-"Long ago, these flowers were said to have magical powers, and-"
-"Yamazaki-san !! Li-san !! Can you please hurry up?"
-"Hai, Terada sensei."
Yamazaki picked up some flowers, and started walking.
-"So...Li-kun, I was saying that these flowers could heal mysterious diseases. But the strange thing is that they-" The black haired boy stoped talking when he felt cold raindrops falling on him.
-"Oh, great. Now it's raining."
-"Okay, class. Hurry, I think we're gonna have to run a bit if you don't wanna catch a cold."
Sakura gave a look at the two boys behind her.
-"Yamazaki-kun, Li-kun !! Hurry up !!"
The two teenagers nodded and started to follow the others.
While they were running, Yamazaki was still studying the flowers around him.
-"Awww...I wanted to pick up these ones, they are very rare !!"
-"Shut up and run, please."
-"But maybe they are a unknown specimen, I wanna pick the- "
Syaoran turned around.
Yamazaki was nowhere to be seen.
-"Yamazaki? HEY !! WHERE ARE YOU?"
No response.
-"COME ON, THIS IS NOT FUNNY, I'M SOAKING !!! WHERE ARE YOU?"
-"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" A scream came from the woods.
-"Yamazaki?" Syaoran ran to the spot where he thought he had heard him.
-"Yamazaki? Answer me, where are you?"
He tried to listen to every noise he heard, but with the rain and wind in the trees, this was almost impossible.
Syaoran started to panic, and eyed the woods, trying to find his friend. 'He can't be too far away...'
-"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH-"
-"YAMAZAKI?"
-"........................."
Syaoran ran to the place where the scream came from, but found nothing at first.
There were bushes eveywhere, so he could not see anything.
He tripped on something, and fell to the wet floor.
-"Ouch..." He slowly got up. 'What was that?'
And he looked at what had made him fall.
His eyes widened, and he couldn't say a thing.
-"..................."
On the floor was Yamazaki, his eyes opened, a frightenned expression on his face.
He was shivering and barely moving.
And he had a big piece on wood plunged right into his heart.
-"..........Y-Ya...Yamazaki......."
-"L-Li-kun..." he said in a low and weak voice.
-"HELP !!!PLEASE CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME??" Syaoran shouted. But no one answered, he and his friend were all alone. He turned back to the wounded boy, and look at him carefully.
Yamazaki was going to die. He knelt down next to him.
-"Who-Who did that to you?"Yamazaki was not able to speak anymore, and started to close his eyes for the last time.
-"...d-don't worry, you...you're going to be okay..." Syaoran lied, holding his friend's hand. He could tell Yamazaki was already dying.
-"Yamazaki?"
-".........."
Rain was dropping onto the dead body of Yamazaki, spreading his blood all around him.
Syaoran did not let go of his hand, and bowed his head.
The rain was still falling, while it was getting dark.
The young boy remain at his friend's side, unable to move a muscle.

Meanwhile...
-"Aww...I'm drenched !!
-"Me too."
-"Me too."
-"Me three."
-"Well, I think everybody is."
Sakura and her friends were waiting in the hall of the house.
-"Why can't we go upstairs to dry up????"
-"I think Mister Terada wants to be sure everybody is here."
Said Rika, watching her teacher.
-"23, 24, 25, 26, 27..." Mister Terada looked at Miss Mizuki, who was also counting.
-"26, 27...27."
-"Okay, children, two of your classmates are not here yet. Do you know who is missing?"
Sakura looked at all her friends.
-"Hey !! Where is Yamazaki?" asked Chiharu.
-"And Syaoran-kun?" Chiharu and Sakura looked at each other.
The two teachers approched the girls.
-"So...Yamazaki-san and Li-san are the two missing?" asked Miss Mizuki.
-"....I told them to hurry up !!!!"
-"But...sensei, they were right behing me when we started running! How could they have got lost?"
-"I don't know, but I'm going to look for them." mister Terada said, putting his coat on.
-"I'm coming too."
-"Me too."
-"No way. You're staying here. It's raining hard out there."
-"PLEASE !!! TERADA SENSEI !!!!!!" asked Chiharu, obviously worried about her longtime boyfriend.
-"We'll be careful !!"
Mister Terada looked at the two girls, and sighed.
-"Okay."
Sakura and Chiharu walked to the door.
-"Sakura!"
-"Oh, Tomoyo-chan. I'll be back soon."
-"Please, be careful." Sakura nodded.
-"Let's go."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Terada and his two pupils went to the place where they had lost the boys.
-"Where did you see them for the last time, Sakura?"
-"Er...around here...but...there are only woods here, how could they got lost?"
-"We did not find them on the way, that means they must have taken another path."
'Come on Syaoran, where are you?' Sakura stoped walking, closed her eyes, and concentrated. 'I sense his aura....in the woods?'
-"They're in the woods !!!"
-"WHAT? Sakura, why do you think would go there?"
-"I don't know....but THEY ARE IN THERE !!!" And she ran in the forest.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
-"Sakura...we've been looking for them for 15 minutes now, I don't think they are here."
-"Yes they are." 'He's not far from here.'
And then she saw him.
-"Syaoran !!!"
Syaoran was still knelt on the floor, his eyes blank as if he was hypnotized.
Then Sakura realized there was something in front of him.
A body.
'Oh my god...' She approched the dead person, just when Mister Terada and Chiharu arrived behind her.
Chiharu came up to Sakura and knelt down, her eyes wide opened, and Mister Terada rushed to Yamazaki's side.
-".......oh...my-my god!! WE NEED TO CALL AN AMBULANCE !!!!!!"
-"......no use...he's already dead." Syaoran spoke up, still not moving.
Chiharu broke into tears, and hugged her boyfriend's body.
-"Noooooo...Noooo!!!!!!!!" Mister Terada fell to his knees, and placed a hand on Chiharu's shoulder. Sakura tried to fight back her tears, but failed.
-"B-But...what happened, Syaoran?" mister Terada asked.
-"..................................."
-"Syaoran?"
-"I...don't know..."
Mister Terada allowed himself to cry, while Sakura and Chiharu were sobbing uncontrolably. After a few minutes, the young teacher got up, and walked away. Once he was far enough from the teens, he grabbed his cellar phone and dialed the police's number.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
When the police car and the ambulance arrived, the two girls were still crying, and Syaoran stil had not moved from his position. He was still holding Yamazaki's cold hand. The rain fell hard on the dead body of the boy, who was now as white as paper.
They put Yamazaki in the ambulance, and asked a few questions to mister Terada. Chiharu was sent back to the chalet, to pack her things and go home. Sakura had also came back with her, and had tried, with all her friends, to comfort her.
Mister Terada had been asked to stay at the police station, where two ploicemen had interrogated Syaoran about a few things. But the young had not been able to tell them much, since he had not witnesses the crime. One hour later, he and mister Terada came back to the chalet.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Tuesday evening, 9H47 p.m.
-"......"
In the dark room in the house, everybody was silent. Miss Mizuki had lit a few candles that were on a small table, in the center of the chamber. Some of the girls had even went outside, in the rain, to find flowers to put near the lights.
And nobody wanted to speak.
When the door finally openned, all eyes to Mister Terada and Syaoran, who had just arrived.
Without a word, the young boy and his teacher sat down.
They all stayed up very late, unable to find anything to say. Then, little by little, most of them left to go to sleep, until there were only Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran left.
At 2.30, Sakura noticed that Syaoran was still in his wet clothes. She got up from her chair, grabbed a blanket, put it on his shoulders and looked at him with worried eyes.
-"Syaoran-kun?"
-".............."
-"Syaoran-kun?"
-"..........what?"
-"Don't you think you should get some rest?"
-"................"
-"Do you know how long you stayed under the rain? You're gonna be sick !! I don't want to..." She stopped and bowed her head."I don't want to lose you, too..."
Syaoran snapped back to reality and looked at Sakura.
-"Sakura..." the young girl looked up at her friend and saw a single tear running down his left cheek. 'Syaoran...is crying??'
She started to cry, too and hugged Syaoran, who didn't fight back. After a few minutes, she released him a little, and eyed him carefullt, sadness in her eyes. Syaoran had not even blushed when she had hugged him. He was too sad for that. 'He looks so tired...'
Sakura put a hand on his forehead.
-"Syaoran-kun...you're burning up! Please, get up, you need to rest. I'll help you to your room."
After a few seconds of hesitation, he slowly got up, and obeyed.
