Tomoyo giggled as she ran around the couple with her camera. Sakura and Syaoran
sweatdropped as she stopped and zoomed in. Sakura blushed and Syaoran just looked at
her with a scowl.
"Tomoyo! Put that camera away!" he said growling.
"But I'm getting great shots!" she said smiling at him.
"I am so sick of you with that camera! You're starting to get annoying with that thing!" he
glared at her with a scowl on his face.
"Syaoran!" Sakura said looking at her boyfriend harshly.
Tomoyo looked at his scowl through the camera lens for a minute. She swallowed and set
down the camera.
"G-Gomen nasai, Syaoran-kun..." she said still watching his glare.
'Syaoran had been getting pretty mad at her lately. Especially about the camera thing...'
The school bell rang and all the students poured into the building from recess. Syaoran
turned and walked towards the door and Sakura slowly followed, a worried look on her
face. Tomoyo stood there watching them walk off.
::After school::
Tomoyo had just came in and set her book bag on a chair somewhere in the living room.
One of her main bodyguards, Asuka, was sitting at the kitchen table. Tomoyo went to
make her way upstairs when the phone rang. She turned and started to run back into the
main room.
"I'll get it!" she yelled and picked up the phone smiling. "Moshi Moshi! Dai-"
"Tomoyo?" a voice said.
"..Yes, this is her....who is this?" she asked gripping the phone slowly.
"A friend..."
"I want to know what you want! Why do you keep calling? Who are you?!" she said
angrily.
Asuka stood up from the kitchen and started to make her way towards Tomoyo.
"I'm coming for you Tomoyo" the voice said which sent chills up and down Tomoyo's
spine.
And that was all. There was a pause and then a click indicating they had hung up the
phone. She shivered and set the phone down.
"Miss Daidouji? Who was that?" Asuka said walking over to her.
"I-I don't know....someone....is after me" she said turning to her friend with big wide
violet eyes.
She had grown quite close to her family's bodyguards over the years. Asuka was one that
she had particularly been close to. Tomoyo was afraid, for the first time in her life. She
was truly terrified. Someone was coming for her? What did they want? So many
questions....
::Late that night::
Tomoyo lay in her bed sound asleep. The curtains were pulled back just enough for the
moonlight to shine through. The wind blew a gentle breeze and Tomoyo stirred in her bed.
Suddenly a crash outside was heard. Tomoyo jumped up from her bed looking over to the
window. She slowly stood up and walked over to the window. She peered down at the
ground. There was no one there. The body guards rushed into her room along with
Sonomi half asleep.
"Tomoyo! Sweetie! Are you okay?! I heard a crash and I think there was someone down
there!" Sonomi said running over and hugging her daughter.
The bodyguards ran over to the window and looked down slowly pulling out their guns.
Seeing there was no one there they walked away and nodded to Sonomi. Asuka came over
to Tomoyo and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"It'll be okay. Don't worry" she said smiling. Tomoyo smiled back.
All the bodyguards left and Sonomi hugged her daughter before walking back downstairs.
"Have a good night sleep, sweetheart" she said before closing the door. Tomoyo was left
in darkness with nothing but moonlight. She crept over to the window and looked down.
She sighed and made her way back to her bed. She rolled over and attempted to go to
sleep. Downstairs, a stranger was hiding behind a tree in the shadows.
::Lunch time/Recess::
Tomoyo sat below a tree with her packed lunch. She reached into it slowly pulling out her
food while she waited for her friends. She reached a piece of paper and pulled it out. Her
eyes followed the words that were written in dark black ink.
"I'M COMING FOR YOU"
She crumpled the paper up and shoved it into her lunch. She stood up and began to look
around her.
'How in the heck could someone put that in my lunch?!' she thought silently. She got a
chill and turned around expecting to see someone there. Yet, no one was there. She
looked over to a tree where Chiharu and Yamazaki sat eating their lunch. He had his
soccer uniform on and was obviously taking a break. A boy called his name and he looked
over to the soccer field. It was Eriol. He was holding the soccer ball and when he sensed
Tomoyo look at him, he turned. He smiled brightly at her. She turned back to Yamazaki
and Chiharu.
"Yo! Yamazaki! Enough with the mushy mush! We got a game to play here!" he called to
him.
Yamazaki leaned down and kissed her forehead before running off to join Eriol and the
team. Where was Syaoran? More importantly, where was Sakura? Tomoyo turned to see
Sakura come running over. Without Syaoran.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said running slightly over to her friend.
"Gomen Nasai, Tomoyo-chan!" she said out of breath and leaning on her knees. "I ran all
the way from inside!"
"....Where is Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked.
"Oh! He told me he had some important business to do...I guess we'll see him in class. Too
bad he couldn't have lunch with us, ne Tomoyo-chan?" she said smiling.
".....What? Oh! Right!" she said spacing out for a minute.
"Well, where's your lunch?"
"Right here by the tree" Tomoyo said smiling, trying to hide her fear.
She wasn't going to tell Sakura about her "recent endangerment". It would only worry her.
They walked over and sat down as both began to eat their lunch silently. A goal was
scored. All of the soccer players cheered. The playground was filled with content.

Ah, it gets trickier and trickier each chapter! Any guesses on who it is? Can you keep up
with the clues? Keep reading to try and figure out who is the "Stranger in the Shadows"!?
