Sakura-san: Okay, I apologize for the delay. Thank you for the reviews! And I am not stressing too much over reviews. I am doing what I like which is writing. I have been busy for awhile with family matters and summer reading, so I haven't been allowed on the Internet. So sorry about that peoples.
Ryoko: By the way, this idiot, is posting the final chapters of this story with this one.
Sakura-san: *hits Ryoko* I am not an idiot. And she is right anyways. As a special treat (actually, just because I finished this story before I could update) the ending is all posted!!!
~Chapter 5: After Camp~
The bus that everyone had ridden to the camp, was now takening them home. It had been cut short because of the 'storm'.
Sakura had gone to sit by Rika, for Syaoran looked like he wanted to be alone.
Syaoran sat in a seat by himself, staring once again out the window. After today, I will not see her again. I won't let myself. I will stay away from everyone!
The bus dropped everyone off at the elementary school.
Syaoran began to walk home.
"Syaoran!" Sakura called.
He stoped and looked at her.
"Umm, is it okay if I call you that?" Sakura asked nervously.
"Call me whatever you want," he muumbled, and began walking away again.
"Wait a minuet please," Sakura pleaded, and she ran up in front of him. "I wanted to invite you to dinner tonight. I am cooking, and oni-chan is visting, so I was wandering if-" Sakura stopped there, turning red.
Syaoran shook his head. "No, I can't. Thank you for the invitation, but I just can't!" He replied with tears, and began to run away from her.
"Syaoran!"
"Please, don't make this any harder for me Sakura! I can't get close to you! If I do, I know something bad will happen! i don't want to hurt you..so just leave me alone!" Syaoran shouted over his shoulder.
Sakura ran after him. "Why Syaoran?!" She cried.
He stopped running again. "The darkness is continuing to grow...and I and I can't control it for longer, and I don't want you to get hurt!"
"But Syaoran, I can help. I have a power too! Light will always banish darkness, so I can help you! Just let me!"
Syaoran shook his head, even though it pained his heart to have to reject her. "Sakura, I-"
"Sakura-chan!" A voice called, interuppting Syaoran.
Sakura turned and saw that it was Tomoyo. She was running over to Sakura, greeting her on her return.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura exclaimed happily. She turned back to Syaoran, but he was gone. Syaoran...
"Welcome back, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo's face became worried at the site of Sakura's face. "Sakura-chan, what's wrong?"
"Tomoyo-chan...." Sakura cried. Tears were streaming down her face.
Tomoyo comforted her friend by hugging her tightly. "Sakura-chan tell me what's wrong," Tomoyo pleaded.
"I'll tell you tonight, Tomoyo-chan. Come and spend the night."
Tomoyo nodded. They pulled away and set off for Sakura's house.
Syaoran arrived home quickly after he used the moment he had to get away from Sakura. When he went into his apartment, he quickly locked the bolt. He didn't turn on any lights. He had gotten a strange ability to see in the dark. It scared him, this ability.
"She said she forgave me...but I can't belive her. And..I can't forgive myself. But she is the Light..and I am..."
Darkness.
Syaoran sighed, and walked into his bedroom. He didn't bother to get anything to eat before that, even though he hadn't eaten for a few days. No more...I will not see her again, or anyone! He walked over to the window, and opened it. It doubled as a door onto a small balcony. Syaoran lived on the third floor of this building.
He stepped outside and walked up to the ledge of the balcony. He stood atop one of the beams that kept a person from falling off of the edge.
"No more..."
Sakura and Tomoyo were in Sakura's room after dinner. Sakura told Tomoyo everything that had happened at the camp.
Tomoyo put a finger to her lip in thought. "That is too bad..."
"What?" Sakura asked.
Tomoyo got an apologetic and regreful look on her face. "I couldn't film you in action Sakura!" Tomoyo said in a sad voice. The fact that she had just been told that her best friend had magical powers, didn't phase her at all.
Sakura sweatdroped in a major way. "T-Tomoyo-chan," she siged in exasperation.
Tomoyo smiled sweatly and then got serious. "So you want to help Li-kun, but he just pushes you away?" Tomoyo asked for conformation.
Sakura nodded.
"Hmmm, he probably is afraid of losing control to the point of hurting you."
Sakura nodded. "He told me that..."
"I am sorry Sakura, I don't know how to help," Tomoyo apologized.
"That is okay Tomoyo-chan. I feel at least a little better now that I have talked about it," Sakura said and smiled.
No more..
Sakura jerked her head up at hearing Syaoran's voice in her head. She felt instantly that something was wrong. A picture apeared in her head of the apartments where he lived.
"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked with worry.
Sakura jumped to her feet. I have to get to Syaoran now!" She shouted with worry and frustration. "But his apartment is halfway across town!"
Tomoyo grinned. "I can help you with this." She then pulled out a cell phone.
Within ten minuets, ladies with sunglasses had picked Tomoyo and Sakura up. Sakura had told her dad that Tomoyo had forgotten something, and that she was going with her.
"Where to miss?" One of the ladies asked.
Sakura told them the apartment's adress.
Syaoran stood on the edge. People were staring up at him, wondering if he was going to jump or not most likely. The wind up here stirred his slightly runaway brown hair.
He noticed a car pull up, and saw a little dot, that he sensed was Sakura.
"Now she's going to have to witness this...I didn't want her to..."
"SYAORAN!! DON'T JUMP!!" Sakura shouted up at him.
He couldn't hear her from where he was.
Syaoran closed his eyes, and held his hands out to his sides. He leaned forward, and began to fall.
People screamed as he fell.
Sakura closed her eyes and concentrated. She opened them and focused on Syaoran.
Strangly, Syaoran didn't feel an impact. He was one moment in the air, and the next on the ground, safe.
Sakura ran over to him.
Syaoran began to shake with frustration. "....damn it! DAMN IT!!!" He shouted.
All of the people that had gathered backed away at his outburst.
"Syaoran..." Sakura whispered, and she put a hand on his shaking back to comfort him.
She then walked him back to his apartment, and left at his insistance.
Syaoran glared at the wall in his room. "Won't let me sleep, won't let me feel hunger, and it won't let me die...I don't feel human anymore..."
He fell back onto his bed, and shut his eyes. He didn't really fall asleep, but a strange "dream" began to surface.
Sakura and Tomoyo were back at Sakura's house. Tomoyo had fallen asleep. Sakura lay awake.
He tried to kill himself...but I saved him...but how? Was it like that light that I hit him with in the forest?
She grew drousy and fell asleep. She also had a dream. Only like Syaoran's, it wasn't really a dream. It was something else, something more real.

Sakura-san: Okies. There we go.
