To Catch Up with You

By: Sakura1301

Ch. 10 Kidnapped

The next morning came too quickly. Li was the first to wake. He groaned. "Stupid sun. Go away! Can't a person get any sleep around here!?" And he pulled the covers over his head only to come face to face with a sleeping angel. He blinked. "Aaahhhh!!!" Then Sakura woke up with a start. "Aaahhhh!!!" Both fell out of bed only on opposite sides. Sakura was the first to stop yelling. Her chest heaved in and out as she tried to process what just happened into her brain. Li stopped yelling a second after she did. It took them both a minute to process the info. Just then Eriol and Tomoyo bust through the door. "Oh. It's just you two. I thought it was that damn cat thing from last night." Tomoyo said. Tomoyo and Eriol looked VERY tired. They had little rings under their eyes and their hair was in every direction that was possible. Tomoyo yawned and stretched and then scratched her side. "Im goin back to bed. See you in the morning." Eriol grabbed her arm. "Tomoyo, dear, its already morning." He looked down at his watch. "Its 9:45 to be exact. We should get ready for the day." "Ugh. I hate mornings." Tomoyo said. "Me too." Sakura said. Li just stood up and said, "We should be planning on our next move." Eriol nodded. "Guess your right." Sakura said as she yawned. "We'll go get breakfast ready while you two get dressed." Sakura said and Tomoyo nodded. Both Tomoyo and Sakura left the room with scowls on their faces. Both Li and Eriol went dot eyed and sweatdropped as the two girls left.

~Downstairs~

"Ugh...why do we have to wake up so early!?" Sakura complained. "Yeah. It's not fair. If their so worried, then why don't they make up a plan or something!? I mean, I do care for you Sakura but this is the summer, and during the summer, it supose to be sleep late, wake up when ever you want to, and have fun. Not work our asses off and have no fun at all. It just ain't fair." "Yeah. I know what you mean. Just wait, someday, im gonna get Syaoran back for this. He's gonna be soooo tired, then early in the morning, im gonna wake him up!" "Same here! Im gonna get Eriol too." Just then, Eriol and Syaoran walked into the kitchen. "Talking about us ladies?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo glared at him. "Yeah, we were, about how we were gonna get you two back for waking us up so early in the morning." Sakura and Tomoyo glared at the two boys as they left. Eriol put his hand behind his head and grinned. "I guess we should continued with breakfast." They looked into the kitchen to see two bowls filled with pancake mix.

"So, what do you think we should do about it?" Li asked Eriol. The two girls were upstairs showering. (No! Not in the same showers!) "Im not sure. When I came here, I didn't think this would happen. I thought it was something else. Something less complicating." "Do you think he's after Sakura?" Li asked. "Possibly. I think he is. But im not a 100% sure." "So in that case, we should be watching over her carefully then." Eriol just nodded. Just then, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Li said.

He peered out the door only to jump back in panic. "Eriol! Get your ass over here!" Eriol walked over to him and asked, "Why? Whats wrong?" Li pointed to the door. Eriol looked out the peep hole. "Oh." Li stumbled back and fell onto his butt but got up just in time to run down the hall before Eriol opened the door. In the door way stood Touya. Touya looked at Eriol. "Who are you?" Touya asked. "Im Eriol. What can I do for you?" Eriol said, showing him his toothy smile. "Hey! I know you! Your Tomoyo's freaky boyfriend! When did you come back?" "About a week ago." "Oh, well, is my sister here?" "Who? Oh! You mean Sakura. She's up in the shower right now. Meanwhile, why don't you come in. We were just making breakfast." Touya stepped in.

Meanwhile, Li was cursing Eriol for even letting Touya in. 'I'll get you Eriol, if its the last thing I do.' Li thought.

Touya sat on a kitchen stool while Eriol tried to strike up some conversation. "So, how was the trip?" Touya blinked. "And how would you know I went on a trip?" "Sakura told me." "Oh. Well, now I see. The kaijuu could never keep her mouth shut." Eriol chuckled at the comment. Just then, Touya spotted Li trying to make it up stairs. "You!" Li froze and slowly turned his head towards Touya. Then Touya got up from his seat to go after Li but Li ran up the stairs. Touya glared at the spot where Li was just standing. He slowly got back into his seat. He started to grumble. "So! Would you like some pancakes?" Eriol asked. Touya jumped in his seat. He stared at the food. "What did you do to them?" Eriol stared at him. "Wha? I didn't do anything. Now what gave you that idea?" Eriol said as he grinned a smile that was saying, 'I have something in store for you as soon as you eat those pancakes' kinda smile. Touya nodded. Just then, a scream could be heard from upstairs. It was Sakura. The next thing was, "SORRY!" from Li. Just then, you could see Li running down the stairs and as soon as he made it down to the bottom of the stairs, a shampoo bottle hit him in the head. He fell over but got up and rubbed the back of his head where the bottle hit. "Oweee......" He said as he made his way towards the kitchen. Then he stopped as he saw Touya's glare. Li was tired of running from him so he glared back one of his icy cold glares. Touya got out of his chair and rolled up his sleeves. Both of them slowly made their way towards eachother, glaring all the way. Li was just a little shorter than him but he was just as stubborn as Touya. Both of them grabbed eachothers collars and tugged. Touya growled, "WHAT are YOU doing here!?" "Its none of YOUR business!" Little sparks of electricity shot between eachothers eyes. "And WHAT were you doing upstairs!?" "Trying to get away from YOU! Thats what!" "Now, I think thats enough." Eriol said calmly as he pushed the two away from eachother. But both were still glaring eachother. Just then Sakura and Tomoyo came down. Sakura gasped. "Touya!" She ran over to him and gave him a VERY big hug. "I missed you! When did you get back?" "Yesterday." She looked over to Li who had his arms crossed and a jealous look on his face. She smirked, "Jealous Syaoran???" He looked at her and humped. Touya was just a little confused. Sakura glided over to Li and put her hand on his cheek. "Wats wong??? Is wittle Syaoran jealous???" She asked in a baby voice. "He started to loosen up. He smiled at her and embraced her in a hug. "You know I am." He said. "HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER YOU GAKI!!!" Sakura glared at her brother. "He doesn't have to." She said bluntly. Little question marks appeared all around his head. "Hey! Whats goin on here!?" He asked. He had just arrived and when he finally does see his sister, everything is all jacked up. Then Tomoyo cleared her throat. "Excuse me! Am I invisible!?" She said as she waved her arms up and down in the air. Everyone just looked at her. She sweatdropped. Eriol stepped up to her side. "Tomoyo, your not invisible, it was just....just...." "Just what?" "Uh, just....they were having a conflict between themselves." "Oh. Sure. Good reason Eriol." She said with sarcasm in her voice. "Sorry Tomoyo." He said as he bowed his head. She smile and patted his head. "Good boy." The others sweatdropped, so did Eriol. "So, why is everybody here anyways? Is this some sort of party or something?" Touya asked. They just looked at him. Li spoke up. "No. We are here for reasons that you wouldn't understand." "And what would that be?" "I said you wouldn't understand." "C'mon, try me." Li looked at the others. The all shook their heads in a 'no.' "Sorry. Can't." Touya growled. "Anyways, Sakura, we have to go." She glared at him. "You can go. I still have work to do." "Grrr...your coming with me and thats final!" "NO IM NOT!" "YES YOU ARE!" And the argument went on like this for a good five minutes. Li sweatdropped as he said, "Yuki was right all those years ago. Touya does have a sister complex." Touya turned around and said, "SHUT. UP." Li glared at him. "Why don't you let your sister do what she wants. She's old enough to make choices of her own." The Li kid did have a point. Touya huffed and puffed before storming out the door and slamming it shut behind himself. Everyone just looked at the door. "So, pancakes anyone?" Eriol asked.

After breakfast, Ooda woke from his LONG sleep. "Did I miss breakfast?" He asked. "Yeah. But we saved you some." Sakura said. Ooda smiled and hopped onto the counter top and Sakura gave him a plate of pancakes. He started to eat. "So...what do you think we should do the next time he shows up?" Sakura asked. "Well, I think we should bash him in the head and stuff him in the closet." Li said. "No Syoran. Im talking about Xi. Not Touya." "Oh. Well, then you should of said she instead of he." "Oh. Forgot." "Well, to tell the truth, I have no clue." The room grew silent for a minute. Tomoyo spoke up. "Hey! I know! Why don't we go outside on a walk and get some fresh air to clear our heads. Hmm?" "Okay!" They all agreed. She smile with satisfaction.

They all talked as they walked about different things such as what they were gonna do during the school year and things like what they were gonna do for the rest of the summer. Ooda decided to stay back at home and wait there for them to return.

They came to the park and decided to take a stroll in the park.

Eriol and Li sat on a bench talking while Sakura and Tomoyo were off doing something. "So Eriol, we need to come up with a plan. And soon. We don't know when Xi might come back." Eriol nodded. "For once, your right my descendant." He said while grinning. "Yeah, I know...HEY! Whats that suppose to mean!?" Li yelled. "Just kidding." Eriol said. Li clenched his fist and said, "You better be."

~At the house~

Ooda laid on the living room couch asleep unknown to the figure that had just entered the house. The shadowy figure loomed over Ooda and suddenly laughed outloud. Ooda's head shot up. The room started to get cloudy as Ooda got ready to morph. But before he could, the shadow pointed it's staff at him and shot a black sphere at him. Ooda gritted his teeth in pain as the black sphere shot electricity through his body. The figure's laughter crackled throughout the empty house. Then, the black sphere and dark figure disappeared.

~The Park~

Eriol and Li were just watching the scenery when they heard two screams. Both of them bolted up as they recognized the two voices of the shrilling screams. It was Sakura and Tomoyo. They ran to the area the screams were coming from. Then, one scream stopped. It was Sakura's voice. Li started to panic. Then there was yelling from Tomoyo's voice. "NO! SAKURA!!!" When they both finally made it to where Tomoyo was, Sakura was knocked out and was held in the arms of a woman in dressed in dark. She was tall and had black hair with bright red lipstick on and a black skirt that touched the ground and she had black gloves that went almost to her shoulders and a tank top with a turtle neck that was also the color black. Her piercing, cold blue eyes glared at them. Just a little further away, Tomoyo was hitting her fist against an invisible barrier that was blocking her from getting to Sakura. The woman laughed. "You are too late Sorcerers! Say good-bye to your precious cherry blossom! Ha ha ha!" Li rushed towards the woman but before he could reach her, the woman disappeared and the only thing left in left in the spot she was standing was a cherry blossom hair clip. Tomoyo got out of the invisible barrier as soon as the woman left and had started to fall but Eriol arrived at her side just in time to catch her. Then she fainted in his arms.

Li fell to his knees as he reached the spot where the clip was. He picked it up and looked at it. It was the hair clip Sakura wore that morning. He then slammed down his fist and whispered, "No...." Then he yelled, "NO! SAKURA!!!"

~Sakura's place~

Li was still holding the hair clip as he sat on the couch. He stared at it as Eriol tried to wake Tomoyo up. "C'mon, Tomoyo, wake up." He shook her gently. Then, her lashes fluttered open and she smiled at him. "Eriol...." He smiled back at her. "Tomoyo...what happened?" He asked calmly. She say up and rubbed her temples. "Hold on...ugh...it all happened so quickly....

~Flashback~

Sakura and Tomoyo were walking around a small stream they had found and talking. They were telling jokes and enjoying the sun, when all of a sudden, a bright flash lit the area and.....
