Return to me: Chapter Two
Where are you, Syaoran!? Tomoyo thought angrily. She had flew all the way to Hong Kong just to find that Syaoran had moved. Pounding the door in frustration, she almost fell in the doorway when it opened. Blinking at them was Eriol, his hair sticking up and in pajamas. Tomoyo's eyes widened and she desperately tried to straighten herself up, excusing herself.
"Gomen, Eriol-kun. Is Syaoran here?" Kero peeped out of her bag, shaking his fist.
"Yeah, where is that brat?" He demanded. "He promised Sakura he would come back. Where is he?" At this, Eriol blinked REALLY hard and stared at them with big eyes.
"Didn't you get the letters?" He asked. "Syaoran's in Japan already!" Kero and Tomoyo fell down anime style. Quickly, they straightened themselves up.
"Oh, no.." Tomoyo groaned. "That means I came here for nothing."

Sakura was having a great time. "H-hand me that packet over theres, please." Her words were slightly slurred. Her friends laughed and giggled, handing over another packet.
"You haven't tried the best yet!" Hilde squealed, showing her a needle. Sakura stared at it, her eyes blurring.
"Wh-wha-what?" Blinking, she tried to focus on the object that always seemed to sway back and forth and have two shadows. Burying her head in her arms to make the little stars go away, she suddenly felt very sleepy. She didn't feel so great after all.. "Ugh..I-have a head-headache.." she mumbled. " I want to go home…" Hilde pouted at her.
"Don't be such a spoilsport. Try this first. Come on, you'll probably feel better." Sakura shook her head loosely.
"N..no, I think I want to go home now…" clambering to her feet, Sakura rose unsteadily and tottered toward the exit, pushing drunken teenagers out of the way. Her friends watched her go, then shrugged. Meanwhile, Sakura stumbled out of the rave and into the dark alley. "Headache.." she mumbled, clutching her head. She sat down hard on a bench. "I'll just take a little nap…"
Li Syaoran combed the streets, searching for Sakura. He had arrived at her house to find her father and her brother almost hysterical because they didn't know where she was. The police were searching, but Syaoran had little faith in them. He knew he would have to do this himself. "If you don't find her, I will kill you." Touya had whispered encouragingly to him. Syaoran knew he couldn't let him down.
Sakura awoke to dank breath on her face and a leering smile. "Hey there, little girl, how about you and me have a little fun?" Her eyes widened in horror, Sakura backed away nervously. Gripping her arm, the stranger smiled nastily, showing yellow and rotten teeth.
"Get away from me…" Sakura cringed and turned her face away from the rancid breath. The man pulled her off the bench and tried to coax her away.
"Come here sweetheart, I won't hurt you none..."
Syaoran turned down a dark alleyway and saw a young girl fighting off a middle-aged man. "Hey, you! Stop!" he raced down the alley and ignored the girl, turning his attention to the man first. "What are you doing?"
The older guy stared down at him, contempt in his gaze. "Leave me alone, pipsqueak." Syaoran turned red and out of pure reflex his fist shot out and connected with the guy's stomach. Doubling up in pain, the guy glared at him, waving his fist and wheezing. Syaoran felt his rage subside. Here was a guy who needed help. Real help. Syaoran couldn't help but think mental help. He sighed.
"Just get out of here. Now."
The man hopped away, still glaring angrily at him and wheezing between coughs. Syaoran almost laughed, but refrained himself. He stared after the guy for a moment, then suddenly remembered the girl. He turned around. "Are you okay?" he asked, then realized that she was leaning against the telephone, breathing hard. She held her head with her hands, her hair covering her face. She walked unsteadily to the nearest bench and sat down.
"Thanks." She said as she stood back up and smiled weakly. Syaoran stopped scratching his foot and looked up as well.
"It's okay-" They both stumbled back, gasping. "It's you!" Syaoran breathed. The eyes, the hair, the mouth, the aura. How could he have missed it? He mentally smacked himself. Sakura's eyes welled up in tears.
"How could you?" She asked, the pain heavy in her eyes. "How could you?" She ran past him, sobbing as she went. Syaoran spun around and ran after her.
"Sakura, wait!" he yelled after her.
Sobbing, Sakura ran blindly, wiping away her tears. Things were still a little blurry here and there. She just wanted to go home.
