The next morning, Tomoyo rushed over to Syaoran's house, anxious to tell him what she found out. When she reached Syaoran's apartment door, she banged on it, hoping to get Syaoran's attention. And that's exactly what she did. Syaoran came rushing to door. He opened it to see a worked up Tomoyo. Her eyes showed much anxiety.
"Tomoyo? What's wrong?" Syaoran asked, shaking her a little. Tomoyo just stood there. She looked like she was in a trance.
"Syaoran..." Tomoyo blurted out.
"Come in. Sit down." Syaoran said, gesturing her to the couch. Tomoyo slowly walked into the apartment and sat down on the couch. Syaoran sat in a chair across from her. Tomoyo sat quietly. Syaoran looked at her worriedly. "Tomoyo...what's wrong? You look like your pet hamster died." Syaoran said, keeping his eye on Tomoyo. Tomoyo looked at Syaoran.
"Syaoran...I know...who... killed Sakura." Tomoyo said, almost as if she was in a trance. Syaoran's eyes widened.
"Who? Who killed her?? Tell me!!" Syaoran said. Tomoyo still looked at Syaoran. Her eyes now held sadness.
"Syaoran...it...it w-w-was..." Tomoyo stuttered. Her eyes began to fill with tears.
"Tomoyo. It's okay. Just tell me who it was." Syaoran said gently. Tears were slowly falling from her eyes.
"I....I....I can't!!!" Tomoyo said, burying her head in her hands. She began to cry. Syaoran got out of his seat and sat next to Tomoyo. He put his hand on her shoulder, trying his best to comfort her.
"Shhh...It's okay, Tomoyo. It's okay." Syaoran said in a soothing voice.
"I can't tell you, Syaoran. I can't tell you who killed her. It hurts too much to say." Tomoyo said, lifting her head to look at Syaoran.
"Why? Is is someone I know?" Syaoran asked.
"Yeah...I guess you could say that." Tomoyo said, calming down a little.
"Who is it?" Syaoran asked.
"It....it was..." Tomoyo began. Tomoyo stopped. She stayed quiet for a while. Syaoran couldn't stand it. He couldn't bear the silence. He had to find out who killed her.
"Tomoyo. Please. Just tell me. Who killed Sakura??" Syaoran asked, trying to hide the annoyance in his voice. A tear fell from Tomoyo's amethyst eyes.
"Syaoran....it was YOU!!!" Tomoyo suddenly yelled out. She put her head in her hands again and cried. Syaoran's eyes widened. He looked at Tomoyo in disbelief, not wanting to believe what he just heard.
"Did...did you just say...that..._I_ killed Sakura?!?!" Syaoran said with disbelief in his voice. Tomoyo just nodded. He was in a complete state of shock. He just stared at the empty wall in front of him while Tomoyo cried beside him. "How the hell did you figure that out?? Why would I
kill Sakura??? How could I kill her??? Tell me, Tomoyo, tell me!!!" Syaoran yelled out. He looked at Tomoyo. He saw how hurt she was. He saw that even _she_ didn't want to believe what she just said. His outraged amber eyes soon held sadness in them. "I'm sorry, Tomoyo. I didn't mean to yell at you. It's just that..." Syaoran said.
"I know." Tomoyo said quietly. "Even I don't want to believe it. That's why I couldn't tell you." Tomoyo said in a low voice. She looked at Syaoran through tear filled eyes.
"Why do you think I killed her?" Syaoran asked again, lowering his voice.
"Last night, I had a dream..." Tomoyo began. "I was at school, standing underneath a cherry blossom tree. Then, I saw you and Kristi standing together. Then, she seemed to be telling you something and you seemed to be angry with her. Then, suddenly, she kissed you."
"How does that say that I killed her though?" Syaoran asked, beginning to get confused.
"Wait. I'm not finished." Tomoyo said. "When I saw you and Kristi, I also saw Sakura. She was hiding behind another tree further away from where I was." Syaoran's eyes widened. "It seemed like she was watching you two." Tomoyo said.
"Then what happened?" Syaoran asked anxiously.
"When Kristi kissed you, she saw you. She looked at the two of you kissing for a second, then she ran away." Tomoyo said. "That when I knew that you killed her." Tomoyo said, lowering her voice. Syaoran sat there quietly, trying to understand what Tomoyo said, but it made no sense to him. He couldn't figure out why Tomoyo said that he killed Sakura.
"Oh.." Syaoran said flatly. There was silence between the two. Then, Tomoyo stood up. She faced Syaoran.
"I have to go now, Syaoran." Tomoyo said.
"Okay. I'll see you later." Syaoran said. He gave her a weak smile. Tomoyo did the same. Without either of them saying another word, Tomoyo quietly walked out the door.
After Tomoyo left, he tried to figure out how Tomoyo arrived at the conclusion that he killed Sakura. He loved Sakura. How could he kill her?
***That evening***
It was 11:30 PM. Syaoran had a lot of trouble going to sleep that night. He was trying to see how Tomoyo figured out that he killed Sakura. He climbed into bed and stared at the ceiling above him.
'If only I knew what Sakura was thinking...' Syaoran thought as he finally dozed off into sleep.
:: Syaoran looked around him, finding himself at the school. In front of him was Sakura, hiding behind a tree. She kept on sneaking peeks. He walked up to her. He tried to touch her, but his hand passed right through her. He tried calling out her name, but she couldn't hear her. It was useless. He began to wonder what she was looking at. He looked at the area Sakura was looking at. He saw himself. He gasped. It was like he was watching a movie. He looked at Sakura. She was leaning against the tree and she had a happy expression on her face. He then remembered that no one could see or hear him, so he stood next to Sakura so he could see better. 'I wonder what she's so happy about.' Syaoran thought. Then, almost as if on cue, Sakura spoke.
"I'm so happy!! Finally, I'll be able to tell him!!" Sakura whispered to herself. Syaoran wondered what she was talking about. He saw Sakura look from behind the tree again. She leaned against the tree again. This time, her happy expression became a scared expression. "What is Syaoran doing with Kristi? He was by himself a second ago." Sakura said. Syaoran heard what she said and looked where she was looking. He saw Kristi there. He turned his attention back to Sakura. She was looking at Kristi and Syaoran. Suddenly, she gasped. Syaoran quickly turned his attention to Kristi and himself. There he saw it, Kristi was kissing Syaoran. "No..." Sakura whispered. Syaoran looked back at Sakura. "I can't tell him now. He already loves Kristi..." Sakura said. "I've lost you, Syaoran..." Sakura whispered. Then, Sakura ran away. Syaoran didn't hear the last thing she said. He tried to ask her what she said, but it was no use. She couldn't hear him. ::
Syaoran woke up. It was 6:44 AM. Syaoran was dumbfounded. He had no idea what the dream was about. He didn't understand it. He couldn't think straight. Nothing made sense. He got up out of bed and made some coffee. He had a few cups and read the newspaper to try to take his mind off of the dream, but it was no use. It kept on replaying over and over in his mind.
***That afternoon***
It was 1:34 PM and Syaoran was still thinking about the dream he had. He decided to take a walk. He grabbed his coat and headed out the door. He walked around the park a couple of times. He then decided to go into the woods. He walked through a familiar pathway...a pathway that led to a
clearing in the woods. This clearing held many memories for Syaoran. This is where he would come afterschool with Sakura, Eriol, and Tomoyo to hang out, where would come when he had something on his mind, where he would come when he needed to be alone and now was a time when he needed to be
alone. Syaoran sat on a rock. He thought about the dream for awhile. Suddenly, he gasped.
"Oh my god!! I _did_ kill Sakura!!" Syaoran said aloud.
"Finally!!! You figured it out!!!" a voice said. Syaoran turned around. He gasped again. His eyes fell upon someone he thought he would never see again.
"Oh my god!" Syaoran exclaimed. "It's you!"
