Hey I finally got my second chapter of my second fic. And I think this one will be better than my first when I get them both done and I have many more ideas . They are still 15 in my fic but it will change soon (you'll understand). And ya Christmas is almost here and we all scream and cheer (hey it rhymed). DISCLAIMER: I don't own the characters I don't Own CCS I wish I did but I don't so leave me alone. Remember also her family knows about her magic.

~*Little Blossom*~: so how's it going

Syaoran: I don't like being here with you but at least you don't have those other two here.

~*Little Blossom*~: You know they're not that bad when you get to know them not that you would care.

Syaoran: You're right I don't.

~*Little Blossom*~: You could be a bit nicer. But you're still like my fav character I know you can be nice if you really want to.

Syaoran: Well I'll never be nice to you

~*Little Blossom*~: That's ok you have your own opinions but I'll still keep trying to be your friend and be there for you

Syaoran: well...you....aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggg you're being too nice to insult. Damn you.

~*Little Blossom*~: (Ha that was funny) be nice anyway on with the next chapter.

Syaoran: humph

RETURN OF DARK

Chap. 2 Pain Of Syaoran

Sakura lay in her bed staring into nothingness. Her wounds were getting a bit better; she healed faster because of her magic. She skipped dinner that night. Her father had to stay at the university and Touya was at yet another job.  "Why...why did you brake up with me? You promised you would love me forever."She whimpered softly, tears sliding down her cheek. She took out the hope card. "We made this card together. It symbolized our love. I used to love looking at this card....b...but now all it does is bring back painful memories." She cried hard sobbing with her head in the pillow, till she drifted off to sleep. Her pillow was used to always being soggy, she cried herself to sleep far too often.

----------------------------------Dream-------------------------------

Sakura was back in the dark area she was in before. The place felt somewhat colder this time to her though. "Oh no, why am I here again? "Footsteps could be heard coming towards her, and there Syaoran stood, his handsome face in view.

 "Oh look it's the weak card captor again .What? Come back for round two. You don't have to worry, I'm not going to kill you yet, until then let's have fun. And don't blame me for your death your doing this to yourself." Spoke Syaoran coldly and clearly so she got the message. His words would chill the raging fires of hell.

 "What do you mean I'm doing this to myself...Why are you doing this?" She looked sadly at him as her heart ached. Everything binding her together was snapping apart piece by piece. She couldn't take anything anymore.

 "You still don't get it do you, you're such a baka. I still don't know how you became mistress of the cards." A malicious grin then appeared on his face. "So what are we waiting for, let's fight." he spoke while calling out his sword.

 I won't fight you....I won't fight you...I ...I. can't f...fight you because, even though you shrugged me off like a bad cold, took my world as your own-only to go to another's after you have destroyed mine beyond repair, and broke your promise...I…I....I still love you." she whispered the last part. Her voice was breaking from emotional and physical trauma. A tear then escapes her sealed lids to collide on the midnight ground.

 "Are you done now.....well sorry I don't feel the same for you." he said as he thrust his sword towards her. He missed but handle came and whacked her in the eye and has a scratch on the cheek. She winced slightly. The sword came again, but this time wasn't as lucky, as the blade slashed her leg causing it to bleed badly. She could hardly walk let alone dodge all the attacks that came to her. After a few more attacks she lay on the ground in pain. She had a black eye, scratches on her face, another cut on the arm that was cut before, scrapes on her stomach and a slash on her leg.

"Some fighter you are." His words were spoken bitterly while frozen over with a layer of black ice. "This is what you are. A weak," he kicked her hard "pathetic," kicked her harder, "little girl who will never amount to anything. You'll always stay beaten flat at the bottom." He didn't need a sword with words like those. "I'll leave you now. If I didn't want you to suffer so much, you'd be dead already." With his ending comment, he went away to leave her all alone.

Why did you do this to me? How could you do this to me? Maybe I should die- anything to get rid of the constant agony. It squeezes my insides with a coldness that hurt, I can't breath, all I can do it choke with the pain. She sobbed quietly with condensed pain. She sobbed till her eyes hurt and till her body was wholly consumed in shaking. And yet again, there is no one to help her, no one to hold her and tell her everything is alright, and most of all- no one to tell her that she is never alone, even though she really is at this moment.

--------------------------------End of Dream-----------------------------

Sakura snapped her eyes open at the dream. If I'm right all the damage should have happened to me. Sakura suddenly felt a rush of pain all over. She cringed holding in the pain. It was early like yesterday. She remembered that tomorrow was no school so if anything happened to her the next night she wouldn't have to hide her wounds, but she also remembered that tomorrow was the day her world came crushing down around her . She practically crawled to the bathroom. There she fixed up her wounds she cleaned and bandaged them. She frowned that she couldn't hide her black eye so she thought she would wear a hat today. It was even hotter today. She was forced to wear a big hat to cover her black eye, a long sleeve top to cover her two cuts on her arm plus scratches and bruises on her front and back and loose pants to cover her big slash on her leg. She wrote another note to her brother and father. She didn't worry about Kero because he was at Tomoyo's house that night. She left earlier then the day before.

Today people stared at her even more with the outfit she had on. She expected to walk into an empty classroom but found Eriol there. It looked like he was waiting for her.

"Sakura I knew you would be early to try to hide your wounds again, and by what you're wearing I can tell you got hurt last night in your dream again. You really should tell someone else besides me, I don't like to see you hurt." He spoke to her sounding worried and his eyes full of mystery now of concern.

Sakura then laughed, it was an insane laugh, but at the same time mocking. "Oh really Eriol, do you think I want to be hurt. You only have to see me hurt, I am the one hurting." The words exploded from her mouth. It came out more acidic then planned, but she couldn't help it. Her wall barricading things cracked slightly under all the pressure. After seeing the hurt on Eriol's face, she lost the dark look and replaced it with shame. "I'm sorry Eriol, I shouldn't take it out on you, you didn't do anything." She repaired the wall at top speed and spoke pleadingly. "I just don't want people to worry about me, they have their own problems, and they don't need me to burden them."

I'll just tell her "Sakura I know it's my descendant hurting you- I can tell by the sad look in your eye of betrayal of love. You also seem somewhat afraid of him, and you have no reason to." I don't like the way she's bottled up her emotions, it's not healthy for her. I would have preferred it if she went on saying hurtful things to me, she can't keep it locked up in her much longer. "At least show me your wounds so I can be sure you're alright.

Sakura's eyes widened in surprise- she had no idea Eriol had figured who hurt her out. "I guess I was being a little too obvious for your observations skills. But I will show you my wounds if it'll get you to leave me alone." She winced inwardly as she eyed her own wounds.

Eriol checked to make sure they were alright, they were, but that didn't ease his comforts. He didn't want to see her if it got any worse.

"Please don't tell like I asked before I...I have to do it on my own." Eriol nodded as a response but didn't look happy about it. "Thank you and can you try to cover for me because I know people will wonder what's going on with me. Will you?"

 "Ok Sakura." he said it as some people walked into the room.

The day went normal, but as Sakura thought people wondered why she was dressed like that. She was in a lot of pain. At lunch she would be the last one out and sit by herself under the Sakura tree. She sighed to herself. Syaoran was eating with Kimi but kept wondering what was wrong with Sakura. He remembered what happened in class earlier today.

*************************Flash Back********************************

 "Hey Sakura you're early again today, glad to see you're not rushing in anymore."He said giving her a small smile talking to her as a friend.

Sakura jumped as she heard his voice and he wondered again why she seemed so nervous.

"Is something wrong Sakura-San? You seem nervous." he asked with concern. She has been really nervous, and he wanted to know why.

 "N...no I'm f…fine Li-kun. Don't worry about me...please excuse m…me."Sakura gave him a weak smile and turned her head looking into her book.

 "Ok." What's wrong with her? It's almost been a year since we broke up...But I'm sure she's over it even if I'm not completely. Why do I have to be in love with two people ... and because I can't be with Sakura at least I have someone else. If only life was simple.

*******************End of Flash Back*******************************

I'll find out what's wrong with her after school "Hey Kimi is it okay if we cancel the plans we have after school because there's something I have to do. I'll make it up to you tomorrow ok."

"Umm...Ok but you better make it up to me tomorrow. Oh I gotta go see you in class sweetie." she said. She than got up, gave him a peck on the cheek and ran towards the school.

The rest of the day went normal. Sakura again, waited till everyone left, till she left. She limped even more today because of the slash on her leg. Her bag full of homework and text books didn't help either. Little did Sakura know Syaoran was in a tree outside of the school waiting for her. He was going to follow her until she was somewhere where he could talk to her privately.

Where is she? I know she was early today so she didn't get a detention. I wonder if she got out without me noticing, even though I doubt that. Oh wait the doors are opening.

Sakura slowly limped down the steps and onto the sidewalk. She decided to go to the park to think. She wanted to know what her dream meant. Syaoran was jumping from tree to tree following her.

 What...why is she limping. She also looks really hot so why is she wearing that. I'm going to get to the bottom of this. He thought very determined.

Sakura sat down on the swing relieved to get the weight off her leg.

"What did he mean I'm doing this to myself? He was the one who hurt me, so what does this mean? I have to try not to fall asleep...but...I can't stay awake forever. Sooner or later I'll fall asleep and then I'll die. I must figure out what he meant." Sakura spoke, but in a whisper so know one would hear.

Syaoran who was in a tree heard her though and wondered what she was talking about.

 "Who's hurting you Sakura." said Syaoran jumping out of the tree. Sakura jumped off the swing, but then winced in pain and fell to the ground-at the pain in her leg. Her hat fell off too. Syaoran held his arm out to help her up but she pulled away and got up herself and sat on the swing with her head down. "I'm not going to hurt you, you know Sakura. I would never hurt you."

            "Please, just leave me alone." She still had her head down and started to cry a little with tears stroking down her cheeks.

 "No, I will not. Something is bothering you…don't cry." he said and tilted her head up, she tensed up and he felt it too but continued to tilt it up to look at her straight in the eye. When he did, he moved his hand away fast. Oh my god, what happened to her eye?

 "Li-kun please…just go." She mumbled turning her head away.

 "Just show me your wounds so I know that they're cleaned properly, and then I'll go." Why does she keep calling me Li she knows she can call me by my first name.

He's so stubborn "fine." she showed all of her wounds "There you happy now...please go."

What the hell happened to her? She's so injured. Why didn't she tell anyone? "Sakura what happened to you? Did you tell anyone?"

 "Eriol knows but that's it...since you won't leave I will. And don't tell anyone about this and I mean it." Sakura than got up and walked away. Her dignity somewhat diminished as she was limping away and showing it horribly.

Why won't anyone leave me alone can't they see it's my problem and I have to deal with it on my own. When I go to sleep tonight I'm going to find out what's going on. And if I sh…should die I don't have any regrets I have loved and lost, family, friends and a life full of adventures. Tonight I face it myself. She looked up as she was now at her house. She opened the door and walked in.
