Chapter 3: In the darkness

By: anime_kitten

"AHHHHHHH!!! ERIOL-SAN!!!" Tomoyo screeched as she ran to her boyfriend. They have now been together for about four years. There was something different about him this time. "WHAT DID YOU DO?! MY POOR ERIOL-SAN!!!" Eriol came with a sling on, though you couldn't really see it with Tomoyo covering him up with hugs and babbling about how he should be careful and she is going to take care of him. The whole gang was reunited… except for Sakura. She was late…again.

"Ahhh… how are you cute descendent? I see you have finally returned." He greeted Syaoran with Tomoyo clinging to his unharmed arm. Syaoran was leaning on a Sakura tree, trying not to be noticed.

"You could of used magic to heal that." He hinted.

"Yes, but Tomoyo-san wouldn't be acting like this, would she?" Syaoran knew this wasn't it. He made a sarcastic cough making sure Eriol picked it up. "Fine…Spinel and Nakuru dared me not to use it on my injury. You should try it some time. They cling to you like a magnet."

"Like with who?" Syaoran grumbled.

"I know you are still in love with the card mistress." Syaoran instantly blushed.

"Am not!"

"Are too!" Tomoyo sang, who was obviously listening to their conversation. Just then, Sakura whizzed into the park with her blades on.

" Gomen nasi minna-san!!!" She apologized when she stopped. "Eriol-kun! What happened?" She asked in concern.

"Never try to break up a fight with Spinel and Kero without magic."

"Kero? He didn't tell me anything about that." Sakura said cluelessly. "Oh well."

"Shall we be going?" Tomoyo asked.

"Hai." Sakura responded. Everyone started to follow Tomoyo, who's turn it was to pick where they got to go. No one knew where exactly they were going. They were mainly chatting than worrying where they were headed. Sakura was skating slowly to keep up with everyone. Tomoyo got out her camera and started to tape Sakura and Syaoran. They were right beside each other so how could she pass up a moment like this?

"We are heeeeerrrreeeeee!!!" Tomoyo screeched. She led them to the Cherry Blossom festival. (Go figure) Eriol got an evil smirk on his face.

"Maybe you can tell Sakura-chan how you feel, ne? Perfect area, time…" Eriol pointed out keeping his voice low.

"What was that Eriol-kun?" Sakura asked, changing into her shoes.

"Nothing Sakura-chan." Eriol sang as Tomoyo dragged him to the Ferris wheel.

"How about you two go together on the Ferris wheel?" Tomoyo asked Sakura and Syaoran. They hesitated. " I am going with Eriol-kun, Yamazaki is with Chiharu-chan, and Rika is going with Noako-chan." She cleared.

"Ummm… ok." Sakura agreed.

"Fine with me" Syaoran said trying not to sound like he really wanted to. Once they boarded, Sakura started to babble.

"…and I am still horrible at math! No one could tutor me as good as you could!" Syaoran blushed at the remark.

"R-really?" he asked.

"Hai! So maybe…when you are moved in and all…you could help me study?" She asked pausing and blushing.

"Sure, be happy to." Sakura got happy and got an urge to hug him. She did that and the capsule started to rock. They also heard a soft 'kawaii!!' from outside.

"Gomen, Syaoran-kun!" She apologized as both turned a deep crimson.

"Its ok." He said. "Its your personality." 'I better not make any sudden moves or it's going to be on 'S&S live'. She better not make any either…not that I don't want her to…' he thought as Sakura sat back down.

A few months later

It has been a few months and it is now summer vacation. Sakura and Syaoran are now best friends, since Tomoyo is spending all her time with Eriol. When Syaoran tutors Sakura, they usually get off the topic. Tomoyo, Eriol, Sakura, and Syaoran just spent a day out and about.

"Tomoyo-san, it's getting late." Eriol pointed out. A sad look spread across her face. "I will walk you home." Tomoyo smiled and laid a short kiss on her boyfriends' lips. After they left the group split up.

"I-I can walk you home Sakura-chan…if you want…" Syaoran asked suddenly thinking his shoes were interesting.

"Would you Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked, her emerald eyes shining. "You know how I get in the dark. With the ghosts and all."

"You still believe in that?" Syaoran chuckled.

"I haven't changed that much." She pouted as they started to walk. They heard weird noises on the way to her house. She clinged to his arm when she heard the noises. First he blushed then giggled.

"What amuses you so much?" She asked snobbily, still hanging to his arm.

"Nothing…" His voice faded. Her grip on his arm grew tighter.

'He had been working out.' Sakura thought with a smile on her face.

'She has gotten stronger… hopefully she doesn't squeeze any tighter or I am going to have a bruise tomorrow…to late.'

A wolf howled into the distance. Footsteps were approaching. The streetlights suddenly dimmed and then were completely shut off. Syaoran sensed a cold aura. Sakura was scared to death. The lights in the homes died out at the same time. It was a cloudy night, so the full moon was hidden in the clouds. So basically, all was dark outside. The aura came nearer and nearer.

"Sakura…" Syaoran whispered softly, "Stay near me. I am sensing something."

"H-hai." The reflection of the little light that the moon gave off in between the clouds shined on her emerald eyes. Syaoran found that soothing.

It was pitch dark again. There was a pause then there was a piercing scream of no one other than Sakura.

" SAKURA!" Syaoran didn't feel her grasp. "SAKURA!!!"
