After a while at Syaoran's house, Eriol went home. Syaoran paced back and forth in his room, wondering if Eriol was right. I mean, could Kristi really know about Sakura's murder?
Kristi was a little rich girl who was so conceited and self-centered. In her world, everything revolved around her. She also thought she could get whatever and _whoever_ she wanted. Ever since Syaoran came to Tomoeda, Kristi had had her eyes set on Syaoran. She was determined to make him
hers. Basically, she was one of the girls that had a crush on Syaoran. But Kristi was like no other girl that had a crush on him. She was different. She would approach Syaoran and flirt with him while other girls would blush and turn away. She would touch Syaoran instead of shyly waving to him like the other girls. She was not afraid, and there was nothing stopping her. But Kristi doesn't care about anyone else but her (and Syaoran), so how could she know anything
about Sakura's murder? Syaoran thought and thought and thought until he finally gave up. Soon, he had fallen asleep again from the lack of sleep he had last night. And another dream had found him.
:: Syaoran was in a dark place, all alone with only the darkness and silence to accompany him. He walked around, looking for a way out. Suddenly, Sakura appeared in front of him, crying, on her knees. Instead of trying to run to her, he stayed where he was and watched her. Sakura's words broke through her sobs.
"How could I have been so blind? Why didn't I see it? You don't love me. You never did and you never will. The only person you love is..." When Sakura said the name of the person someone loved, she had buried her head in her hands, making the name unclear.
"Sakura? Who are you talking about?" Syaoran yelled out, but she didn't hear him. She kept on crying. With her head still buried in her face, Sakura spoke.
"Wait, Sakura!! What did you say?" Syaoran screamed out. With her head buried in her hands, the words she spoke were unclear. Sakura spoke one more time, but Syaoran still wasn't able to hear clearly. Sakura then disappeared, leaving Syaoran in the dark; leaving Syaoran with so many questions. ::
Syaoran shot his eyes open. Without thinking, Syaoran got out of bed and got a pen and paper. He wrote out all the clues. The first clue he wrote out was the one from the dream he just had. He wrote that Sakura said, "You love Chrissy...you don't love me." Then he began to think about
who Chrissy was. But there was no one he knew named Chrissy. But then he began to wonder in he even had the name right. After all, her head was buried in her hands and every word she said was muffled.
'When Sakura spoke, it sounded like she said the name, Chrissy. But I don't know anyone named Chrissy. Who could she be talking about?' Syaoran thought. He was more confused than ever. He didn't know what to do. He decided to take a walk outside in the park to clear his mind. After a while of walking, he decided to head back home, but when he was a block away from his house, he stopped. He looked to his left, looking down Madison Avenue, the street that Kristi lived on. Then, instead of walking straight ahead towards his house, he turned left. He was going to Kristi's house.
***At Kristi's house***
Syaoran knocked on the door hesitantly. He wasn't sure if he should ask her if she knows anything about Sakura's death. He was hoping that she wasn't home so that he didn't have to ask her, but then again, there is a slight possibility that she could know something. Syaoran got nervous and turned his back to the door, ready to leave, but someone had already opened the door. It was Kristi.
"Syaoran? Is that you?" she asked. He turned around and faced her. Without saying "hi," Syaoran spoke to Kristi.
"Kristi. I need to ask you something." Syaoran said flatly.
"Anything for my only love." Kristi replied with an innocent smile on her lips. Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, whatever. Now, do you know anything about Sakura's death?" Syaoran asked, crossing his arms.
"Like...what things?" Kristi asked while twirling her thumbs innocently. Syaoran let out an annoyed sigh.
"Anything! Like, if you know who killed her." Syaoran said. Kristi smirked.
"Oh. I know who killed her." Kristi said as her smirk curled up into an evil grin.
"Who? Who was it??" Syaoran asked anxiously.
"It was ME!!" Kristi said, letting out an evil laugh.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Syaoran screamed.
"Syaoran!! Syaoran!! It's okay. It was all just a dream." a voice said. Syaoran opened his eyes to see Tomoyo standing over him. He looked around in confusion. He then realized that everything that just happened before this moment was a dream. (SN: I know that this is a little confusing, so I'll clear it up. The dream about Sakura, and him going to Kristi's house was ALL a dream. He is now just waking up.)
"Tomoyo? What are you doing here?" Syaoran asked while sitting up in his bed.
"I came over here to see how you were doing. Obviously, you're not doing so good, are you?" Tomoyo said with a sad expression on her face. She felt bad for Syaoran and wished he didn't have to go through all this pain and misery. Syaoran shook his head in answer to Tomoyo's question.
"What time is it?" Syaoran asked, rubbing his eye.
"It's 4:17 PM." Tomoyo said.
"What?? It's already afternoon? I slept that long??" Syaoran asked in shock.
"Well, what time did you fall asleep?"
"I fell asleep at probably 11 this morning." Syaoran said while running his hand through his messy hair.
"Well, at least you got some rest. You really need it, especially now." Tomoyo said, patting Syaoran on the shoulder. Syaoran attempted to give her a smile. Tomoyo smiled back weakly. There was a slight silence between the two. Tomoyo sighed. "So, Syaoran. Have you found out anything yet?"
"Well, not really. Everything has been so confusing. I have no idea how to figure this thing out." Syaoran hung his head, staring at the floor beneath him.
"I'm sorry, Syaoran. I wish there was some way I could help." Tomoyo said.
"Thanks, Tomoyo. But I don't think there's anything you can do right now." Syaoran said, looking up at Tomoyo. He gave her a smile. Tomoyo smiled back.
***Half an hour later***
Syaoran had told Tomoyo all of the dreams he's had so Tomoyo would know what was going on. He then promised to let Tomoyo when he had a new dream.
"Well, Syaoran. It's time for me to go home now." Tomoyo said while looking at the silver watch on her slender wrist.
"Okay, Tomoyo. I'll see you later." Syaoran said, as he walked her to the door.
"Goodbye, Syaoran!" Tomoyo said while walking out the door.
"Bye, Tomoyo!!" Syaoran replied. "Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you something, Tomoyo!" Syaoran yelled out. Tomoyo stopped in the middle of the hallway and faced him.
"Yes?" Tomoyo called out.
"Thank you. Thank you for everything." Syaoran said. He gave
Tomoyo a smile and mouthed out the words, "thank you."
Tomoyo smiled back.
"You're welcome, Syaoran!" She called out. She turned back
around and walked down the hallway.
***At Tomoyo's house***
It was 11 at night and Tomoyo was still awake. She was thinking about how hurt Syaoran must be. She felt so bad for him. Syaoran told her not to worry about him, but she couldn't help worrying. After all, Syaoran was one of her closest friends. She climbed into bed and laid there, her eyes wide open, staring up at the ceiling. She still thought about Syaoran. She tried closing her eyes, but it didn't work. She just couldn't go to sleep. After an hour of trying to get sleep, she had succeeded.
:: Tomoyo was at school, underneath a cherry blossom tree. She saw Syaoran and Kristi. Then she saw someone hiding behind another tree. It was Sakura. She then saw Kristi acting like she always did, trying to come on to Syaoran. Unexpectedly, Kristi kissed Syaoran. He tried to break free from her kiss, but she wouldn't let go. Tomoyo immediately turned her attention to Sakura. She saw Sakura break into tears behind the tree. She ran away. Tomoyo gasped in shock.::
Tomoyo shot her eyes open and quickly sat up in bed. Her eyes widened.
"Oh my god!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "I know who killed Sakura!!!"
