"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Tomoyo screamed as tears fell heavily down her cheeks. Eriol comforted her the best he could. Syaoran sat across from Eriol and Tomoyo, his head buried in his hands, quietly letting his tears flow. So many things were running around in his mind. Who would want to do this
to her? Who would want to kill Sakura? Tomoyo cried hysterically no matter what anyone did to try to calm her down. Eriol stroked her long hair in an effort to calm her down while she buried her head into Eriol's warm chest.
"Sakura..." Syaoran whispered to himself.
"Why? Why? Why? Why Sakura? What did she do to deserve this?" Tomoyo cried out. Eriol tried to hush her but it didn't work. She kept on crying. But who could blame her for not being able to stop crying? Her best friend had just been killed.
~*~Flashback~*~
Syaoran stood at Tomoyo's doorstep. He breathed heavily and wiped away the tears that were falling from his saddened amber eyes. He ran the doorbell. Tomoyo arrived at the door and saw Syaoran's sad eyes.
"Hi, Syaoran. Is something wrong?" Tomoyo asked in a worried tone of voice. Eriol appeared behind Tomoyo.
"Hey, Syaoran." Eriol greeted. Then he saw the look in Syaoran's eyes. "What's wrong?" Eriol and Tomoyo both had worried expressions on their faces.
"I have bad news." Syaoran said.
"What is it?" Eriol asked.
"S-Sa-kura...she's..." Syaoran said, struggling to tell them the news.
"What?? Is Sakura okay? What happened to her?" Tomoyo asked, getting more worried.
"I think you better sit down." Syaoran said. Everyone went inside and took a seat. Eriol and Tomoyo sat on the couch and Syaoran sat in a chair across from them.
"Well, Syaoran? What happened to Sakura?" Eriol asked.
"Sakura...she...Sakura is..." Syaoran said, struggling to find the words to say.
"For goodness sake, just spit it out!!" Eriol said, getting annoyed.
"Sakura was killed!!!!" Syaoran screamed out. Tears followed his scream. Tomoyo felt as if she stopped breathing.
"You're kidding...right, Syaoran? She's not really dead." Tomoyo said, tears welling up in her eyes. Syaoran didn't say a word. Instead, he looked at Tomoyo through tear filled eyes. The truth was in his eyes. Sakura _was_ dead. More tears welled up in Tomoyo's eyes. She frantically turned to Eriol.
"No!!! It's not true!! She can't be dead!! She has to be alive!! It's not true!! It's not true!!!" Eriol looked at Tomoyo with sad eyes. Tomoyo let out a scream and the tears began to fall.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
Soon, everyone had calmed down a bit. Tomoyo's crying had ceased a little. Everyone sat there quietly, not saying a word.
"Syaoran..." Tomoyo called out, almost whispering.
"Yes, Tomoyo?" Syaoran said, not looking at her.
"How did you find out about...Sa--Sakur-" Tomoyo said, finding it difficult to say Sakura's name.
"It was horrible..." Syaoran began.
~*~Flashback~*~
Syaoran walked through the park, heading towards his apartment. He was taking a short cut home. He was almost home when he saw a crowd of people in an alley. He heard screams and shouts. He heard people say "Is she okay?" or "Is she alive?" or "Poor girl." He got curious and began to
wonder what they were looking at. He headed towards the crowd and squeezed in to see what they were looking at. He made his way through the crowd. He finally reached the front of the crowd and gasped loudly.
"Sakura?!?!" Syaoran screamed out. Everyone looked at him. He couldn't believe his eyes. Right there, in front of him was Sakura's dead body. Her clothes were torn and she laid in a pool of her blood. He ran to Sakura and held her limp hand. He felt tears beginning to well up in his eyes. He checked her pulse. His heart began to race. She didn't have a pulse. "Someone!! Call 911!!! Call an ambulance!! Now!!!" Syaoran shouted out to no one in particular.
"We've already called 911. They should be here soon." someone told Syaoran. Then, almost as if on cue, the ambulance arrived. Syaoran squeezed Sakura's hand. The paramedics rushed over to Sakura's side. They told Syaoran to move out of the way so that they could try and revive
her. He refused to at first, but soon they convinced him to move. After many failed attempts to revive her, a paramedic turned and faced Syaoran.
"I'm sorry, but she's dead."
"No!!! It's not true!! She can't be dead!!!" Syaoran screamed at the paramedic.
"I'm sorry, but she's dead. She will be taken to the hospital where an autopsy will be done." The paramedic turned around and helped the other paramedics put Sakura on a stretcher and into the ambulance. "Oh yeah," the paramedic said, turning back to Syaoran. "Do you know this victim?"
"Yes. I'm a friend of hers."
"Do you know her name?"
"Her name is Sakura Kinomoto."
"Okay. I'll need your name and phone number, that is, if you want the report on the autopsy."
"Yes. I do." Syaoran gave the paramedic his name and phone number. Soon, the paramedics left. The crowd of people had already begun to leave. Suddenly, Syaoran fell to his knees and cried.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
"And that's when I came to tell you." Syaoran said, concluding his story. Tomoyo just looked at the floor. No one spoke. Syaoran got up from his seat. "Listen, Tomoyo. I better get home now."
"Okay, then. Thanks for telling me." Tomoyo said. She attempted to give him a smile.
"Hey, maybe we can look through Sakura's room or ask Sakura's brother or father if they know something about this. If we do, we might find something that will help us find out who did this to her." Eriol suggested.
"Yeah. I guess we could do that." Tomoyo said.
"Okay. I'll meet you guys here tomorrow morning at 9. Try to get a good rest, guys." Syaoran said. He left the house, closing the door behind him.
***At Syaoran's house***
Syaoran opened the door to his apartment and headed straight for his room. He threw himself on his bed and let out a few extra tears. 'Whoever did this to Sakura is gonna pay!!' Syaoran thought. He looked at a school picture that rested on his night table. Coincidentally, Sakura was in the picture. He stared deeply at the picture. 'Who would want to kill her? Damn, I wish I knew who killed her. When I find out, I'll kill him!!' He found himself crumbling the picture. He realized what he was doing and uncrumbled the picture. 'I wish those paramedics would hurry up and tell me the results of the autopsy.' Syaoran got up and decided to get something to eat. Right when he was about to open the door, his phone rang. He picked up the phone.
"Hello? Syaoran Li speaking."
"Hello. I'm Dr. Whodunit. (SN: Get it? hehe..eh...nevermind.) I have the results of Sakura Kinomoto's autopsy..."
