*Tomoyo's POV*

After a few years abroad studing fashions, I got accepted into FFF, Fashions for the Famous. It was a fabulous fashion design company where only the top fashion designers were allowed. It was the top brand, top designers, top fashion company.

My mother was very proud. When I got into FFF in the fall of 1996, she was lost for words. I could see the excitement written all over her face...

The first day of my job, I called mother right after my first client. Excitedly I told her I met MiMi Lawrence, the most popular singer in the world. Of course, I was exaggerating a bit but what can I say, I was excited. It wasn't like you could see MiMi Lawrence everyday!

My life was going so well. I had a wonderful job. A wonderful apartment. An expensive sports car. And best of all, I was famous. Everywhere around the world, they would see my name printed in all the fashion magazines and newspapers around the globe. My fashions were the absolute best.

A man came into my office near the late evening, begging to see me. Usually, I would send them home unless they were of fame or fortune but I had a weird feeling about this one. So, I let him in. With careful scruntity, I regarded him. He had very unruly brown hair, a tiny bit longer than prefered. His eyes were shielded by shaggy bangs, making him look messy. To top his very unorderly face, his outfit was horrid. Rips, tatters everywhere. Where did this man come from anyway? Pointing to a chair, I let him sit, still looking at him with a judging eye. I saw this man somewhere, but where?

He frowned. I was growing nervous. Why was this man here? Who was he anyway?

He handed me a heavy envelope and started to walk out.

"Stop!" I cried. "Who are you? What's this?"

He turned back, but avoided my searching eyes. "You'll know who I am by the time you read it...." Then, he walked out of the room.

Sparked by curiousity, I tore open the mail, took out the many pieces of the letter and started to read.

"Dear Tomoyo,
You will know all that happenned by the time you have read this letter. You will know about our scheme... our wicked plan leading up to why... Sakura was killed."

I paused there. I couldn't breathe. I weezed. Gasping, I forced myself to start reading again.

"Everything was carefully planned. My arrival at Tomeda, Japan.... how I was to bump into Sakura Kinomoto..... meeting her at the concert.... and becoming friends. It wasn't very hard to become friends with her, in fact, it was the most easiest thing I did in this whole scheme. After I became friends with her, everything would just fall in place. Meilin's arrival... dropping of the slip of paper. After that, I would fake my departure, drug the two Kinomotos' drinks, and then, I would flee before any incriminating evidence was found. I was suppose to do just that and leave the killings to Meilin but it just didn't work out that way. Why I returned is still a mystery to me."

This... this was... Syaoran! Oh my god! I rushed out with a handfull of his paper and called out, "Syaoran! Come back... come back..." He wasn't there.... Down the hallway, I could see people staring at me like I was crazy but I didn't care. "You bastard! You planned it all, you planned it all!" For what seemed like hours, I just sat on the ground and cried. My past... her past was slowly taking over again. I couldn't let it. Having enough strength to stand, I wiped my tears with my shirt and fixed my hair. People were staring at me, wondering what I would do next. This was what I was going to do next.... I walked into my office and shut the door on them all.

I started to read again, even though I didn't want to... but I needed to know the truth, even if the truth would hurt.

"Meilin had gotten everything set-up in Hong Kong. It was perfect.... untill... I arrived. At first, I was just coming to watch if she needed help... but on the way, I knew this was wrong... and deep inside, I really did care for Sakura. She was the most caring person I'd ever known.
In the plane, I made up my mind to stop Meilin, but I got caught in traffic and couldn't get there fast enough. By the time I was up to try and stop Meilin, she had already killed her. Meilin was going to kill two people that day.... Sakura and .... you.
Why didn't she get you too? It's because I stopped her. I knew I would go insane with another killing. We both knew you were there in the bushes, hiding. After seeing you fainted, we dragged Sakura's body somewhere far away and buried it......."

This time, I gaped at it... read it again. This could not be real, could it?

"My motives were hidden. You couldn't have possibly known. It was the revenge for the death of my mother. The diary that was stolen from Sakura's family was mine.... my mother's. It enraged me that her dad should have it.... it was our family's afterall. Why couldn't they just keep off my family? Her mother was at a buisness trip in Hong Kong and met my father. Somehow, that witch cast a spell on my father and when she left to go back to Japan, my father walked away from everything... his wife, his living, and his children.
My mother was left with caring for 5 children by herself. She died trying. Then, I met the Li Clan, who helped me become the famous singer I used to be. Meilin was in that clan.... that's when I first met her. For long years, I planned carefully, dragging Meilin into my plan as well."

He was.... taking revenge on Sakura's family.... Tomoyo took a deep breath and started to read again.

"Now you know all I have done.... take this paper to the authorities. This will be the evidence for everything. You will find Sakura's grave in the northeast part of the garden. There will be one single cherry blossom tree... she is buried next to it.
The police will search all over for me, but they will never find me... ever. I will be long gone where nobody will ever find me.
Tomoyo... take care....
- Syaoran Li"

With shaking hands I gathered the sheets of the evidence. Staring at them one last time, I carefully folded the sheets and stuffed them into the envelope. I lit a small fire in the fireplace and stuck the envelope in. With the end of it burning, I flung it on the ground. The floor caught on fire... the chairs... the desk... all my papers.... and I stood it the middle of room. It spread, it burned untill the whole room was caught in smoke... I coughed and splutered but I stood there, waiting to die......

*Normal POV*

"Tomoyo!!!!!!!!! Wake up! Time to go to school!"

"Wha.....????" She openned her eyes. "Where am I? Sakura? You're alive!"

"I'm alive? Of course I'm alive, why wouldn't I be?"

Tomoyo jumped up and hugged her best friend tightly realizing it was all a dream. "Oh Sakura... I'll never let you die again!"

"Um... Tomoyo, what are you talking about?"

She smiled. "Never mind. Lets get dressed and go to school!"

"Strange..." Sakura muttered as she folded the sleeping bags from the floor (they were having a sleepover).

The two best friends scurried to school and sat at their normal seats while 3 smiling girls came rushing up to them.

"You'll never guess what's happening today!" smiled Chiharu.

"There are gunna be three new people in our class!" Naoko completed, also smiling happily.

Niki sighed, "I wonder what they're gunna be like."

Sakura blinked. "Well, I guess you'll find out, won't you? There's the teacher.... and look, there's the three new students now." She indicated two boys and a girl with long raven hair.

Nobody saw Tomoyo's bewildered face when she saw them come in........ Syaoran.... Meilin..... and Eriol?

The three new students stood in front of the class and introduced themselves.
"Li Syaoran, China."
"Li Meilin, China."
"Hiirawzigwa Eriol, England." Eriol stared at the back of the room, looked straight at Tomoyo and winked. This was going to be a LOT of fun............
