Syaoran sat on his bed, burying his head in his cold, clammy hands. Eriol sat beside him quietly. There was a deafening silence surrounding the two. Eriol sighed and broke the silence.
"Syaoran. Tell me what your dream was about. Maybe I can help you!" Eriol said with worry present in his voice. Syaoran stayed silent for a while. "Come on, Syaoran. These dreams of yours could be clues to who killed her." Eriol said, trying to convince Syaoran to tell him about his dream. Syaoran looked up at Eriol.
"I know that these dreams are clues. But these clues have gotten me nowhere." Syaoran said coldly.
"Maybe you're looking at them the wrong way. I mean, come on. Did you really think that Tomoyo killed Sakura?" Syaoran soon wore a shade of pink on his face from embarrassment.
"Well, I didn't want to believe it. But...I...argh...I don't know anything anymore. Why don't I just give up?" Syaoran said, anxiously running his hand through his messy auburn hair.
"No, Syaoran. I can't let you do that." Eriol said lowly.
"What?" Syaoran exclaimed, looking at Eriol in a confused expression.
"You can't give up. You have to find out who killed Sakura and avenge her death." Eriol said with determination in his voice. "Syaoran. You and I both know how much you love Sakura." Syaoran knew he was right. He couldn't give up now. Syaoran let out a heavy sigh.
"Alright. Alright. I'll tell you about my dreams." Syaoran said in a 'I-hate-it-when-you're-right' tone. Eriol smiled slyly.
*~*~*~30 minutes later~*~*~*
"Syaoran. I know what's wrong." Eriol said.
"What? What is it?" Syaoran asked excitedly.
"I was right yet again." Syaoran rolled his eyes. "You've been reading these dreams the wrong way." Eriol said matter-of-factly.
"Okay then, Hiragizawa. Then what do these dreams mean?"
"Well, obviously...Sakura is trying to tell you who killed her. In your first dream, Sakura said that the person that killed her is the person she loves most. Now think, who does she love the most?" Eriol asked, eyeing Syaoran.
"Hmm...At first, I thought it was Tomoyo because she's Sakura's best friend and she loves her." Syaoran said.
"Yes, but it _wasn't_ Tomoyo. I mean, why would Tomoyo want to kill Sakura?" Eriol said matter-of-factly.
"You're right. But then, how do I know who Sakura loves...the MOST?" Syaoran asked, getting frustrated with the whole situation.
"I don't know, Syaoran. Even I don't know the answer to that one." Eriol said while shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh thanks a lot, Eriol! That really helped." Syaoran said sarcastically. Eriol shrugged again. Syaoran shook his head and let out a sigh. "Well, what about the second dream, Eriol? What does this one mean?" Syaoran said, crossing his arms.
"Well, obviously, there was something that she wishes she could've done, and--" Eriol was cut off by a furious Syaoran.
"God damnit, Eriol!! Stop telling me things I already know and get to the damn point!!" Syaoran yelled. Eriol winced at his anger.
"Okay, okay. The point is--you have to figure out what she wanted to say and who she wanted to say it to." Eriol said, crossing his arms.
"Don't you think I already know that?" Syaoran said, staring coldly at Eriol.
"Well, I don't know what else to tell you." Eriol said, shrugging again. Syaoran shook his head in disappointment. He let out another heavy sigh. He got up from the bed, grabbed his coat and walked out the door without saying a word to Eriol.
"Wait, Syaoran! Where are you going?" Eriol yelled out as he hurriedly got off the bed and ran out the door after Syaoran. By the time Eriol reached the end of the hall, Syaoran had already left. Eriol let out a heavy sigh. "Poor Syaoran." Eriol whispered. He went back to get his jacket
and went home.
*~*~*~At the park~*~*~*
Syaoran walked around the park glumly. He loitered in his sadness. He didn't know what to do anymore. He just wanted to give up on finding out who killed Sakura. Syaoran so desperately wanted to find out who killed her, but it was just too hard. He took a seat on a park bench and sulked. It began to rain. Syaoran sat there as still as a statue, letting the cold rain fall on him. Soon, the rain ceased to fall on him. He perked his head up. There was someone standing behind him, holding an umbrella over his head.
"Syaoran..." a voice said. He recognized this voice. He turned around and gasped.
"What are you doing here??"
