BRIEF RECAP: New step-father of Tomoyo, is cruel, and has her boxed now, intending to…

"What'm I gonna do wichu now?" Steven smirked seductively. He was advancing slowly, now, knowing that she couldn't run off to anywhere with herself up against the wall like that. Their bodies were nearly touching, his face just an inch from hers. He kept it like that, swamping her in his foul breath and evil aura. Now that she was much closer, she could feel that he had very strong powers, but shielded them from the world. His aura was not evil-tinted, it was the essence of evil itself. Now, her feelings towards him increased dramatically, her hate deepened, her depression grew, her misery strengthened just by him being so close to her. She hated it. She hated him. She hated the change of course her life had taken right then. She hated everything at the moment. She struggled against him furiously, but not to much avail. Sakura and Syaoran, Chiharu and Yamazaki, Meiling and Tamahome (A/N: not from Fushigi Yuugi peoples! -_-;;;;;;) Even Touya and Yukito, but no one for you, right!? she thought with contempt, she'd show them! She could live without ANY of them. She'd show all of them, she once loved Sakura…that love shattered. Tomoyo left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart alone, her mother killed, left to salvage the shreds of her ground soul, she even fell for a few guys, all the time, left in their dust…forgotten. And left to gather the bitter shards of a heart that once loved. She didn't love anyone anymore. Not that she had anyone left to love, anyway, but behind that cracked and worn delicate heart, the blazing fire of love burned in its depths. Waiting to be rekindled…waiting, always waiting. What about Eriol-kun? that annoying little voice of hope in her head asked. Kaho had run away one fateful night, leaving him alone in England, so he had returned to Tomoeda (A/N: I'm not sure of the name of the town, gomen, minna-san, if it's wrong -_-;) where he had friends he knew. That moment's hesitation was all Steven needed. He finally wrenched Tomoyo's shirt up and slipped her skirt off. She was in her underclothes and pinned to the wall by her so-called step-father.

"Hehehehe, What'm I gonna do wichu, naow?" he chuckled wickedly, once again.

Tomoyo couldn't bring herself to look into those inhumane, lifeless eyes, which were now nearly sparking with anticipation. Steven roughly shoved her small face up to look at him. That evil look ate into her ruthlessly. He steadily brought his face closer to hers, but slowly, carefully, to make her suffer the overrides of her hormones against her hate. They were a half and inch apart and she still was resisting.

"Aww, you're no fun, I might as well getchu ova wit," he whispered. And brought his lips to hers harshly, making her gasp for air and widen her eyes in shock. He half dragged her into her room, which had happened to be the nearest room with the door right next to them. He shoved her on the bed without once breaking the fiery kiss filled with evil, pain, hate and greed. When Tomoyo's face started to turn red from lack of oxygen, he broke the emotionless kiss. Tomoyo gulped all of the air around her until she was conscious enough to realize where she was.

"*Gasp* What the- …We're in…" Tomoyo trailed off. She finally figured out what had happened to her mother. But she knew that he wasn't going to kill her…she didn't know how she knew, she just knew. He was going to make her suffer, just for his pleasure. Steven chuckled amused at her reaction Most amusing, she'll be one hell of a ride, difficult, but nothin' I can't handle. he boasted to himself. He suddenly stripped in front of her, slowly. She was horrified, and covered her eyes, he got down to his boxers and stopped. They were even, her in her underwear, and he in his. He hurled himself on top of her, knocking the wind out of her and kissed her passionately but with no feelings behind it, her face was flushing again because he had cut off her supply of air. Then his probing lips slid down onto her neck, near her chest. His bulky arms slid around her slender waist and started undoing her already too exposing bra, he left it undone, but still on her, and his lips met her stomach where his hands slid down to start on her side-tied underwear.

There suddenly was a blinding, intense blue light and when it faded, there stood Hiragizawa Eriol, staring at the scene before him in disgust…just then, Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran burst through the door…
