Hi everybody, I'm so sorry about the late, late update, but these last
months were so busy for me that I couldn't sit down to write. I'll try to
update more often now that finally I have some free time to do it. Thanks
for reading my story. Please review and let me know how is it going.

Chapter 4. The Search is on
One hour has passed since everything happened, and I could still see how worried Tomoyo was. Of course I was probably more worried than her, but I could not show that, that would expose me. Because of this I did the only thing that crossed my mind.
"When we find Hiragizawa he's going to wish that he had stayed with his good friend the T-Rex," I said to nobody.
"Well, you'll do that after I have a long talk with him. How dare he make me worry?" said Tomoyo, and this really surprised me. I've never thought that the day will come when I would saw her mad at Eriol, but I was more surprised by the fact that she didn't mentioned Sakura at all. I knew I had the opportunity to get her back for all those times that she had filmed me with her camera, but I was too worried about somebody to say anything.
Time passed and we kept walking, and I kept trying to feel Sakura's aura, but something was blocking my senses. I really didn't like that.
"You are worried about Sakura, aren't you?" asked me Tomoyo.
"Huh?" I answered back. I know, not a very good answer, but this is Tomoyo Daidouji, and I got the feeling in my gut that she had found something to take her mind off Eriol, and that could only mean one thing.
"You don't have to deny it, I know how you feel about her"
"I have no idea what you're talking about" I said to her with a not very convincing voice.
"Sure, and I guess then that you visited the restroom so often because it is your favorite room. Am I right?"
"Ummmm, well. you see that is a very personal answer that only my family knows about." Ok, that was terrible, but I was running out of ideas.
"You two are hopeless," said Tomoyo to me in a very annoyed way.
"And how about you? You sure seemed very worried about Hiragizawa back there, am I right?" I was sure I had her, there was no way that she could deny that. "Of course I am, who would be your best man in you and Sakura's wedding if he is not there?" said Tomoyo.
I had to fall down when I heard that. Of all the things that she could say she had to mention that. I was about to answer back when I felt something. It was a strange feeling. It wasn't Sakura or even Eriol, but it was something magical, something powerful. I started to walk faster towards the place where that power was coming from. I could hear Tomoyo running behind me asking me what was going on, but I could not stop to answer her, I had to know where that magic was from.
Finally I came to a stop at the top of a waterfall. What I saw was incredible. There was a strange temple there. It was made of crystals, and with the sun it seemed to change colors and be like a rainbow.
"What is that?" asked Tomoyo.
"I'm not sure, but there is something inside, something magical, and I'll be my sword that we'll find one of the magical items inside that place"
"But what about Sakura and Eriol, we have to find them" said Tomoyo very worried.
"I'm sure that they will find these place. It seems like it's calling our magic, so this is the best place to find them," I said, starting to see a light of hope in all these troubles.
With all these decided we started to climb down the waterfall, but when we got down there was no visible door anywhere. That was just great, but I wasn't about to let a little something from stopping me from finding that item and Sakura, heck, even that wizard. I could not leave him behind; even the dinosaurs don't deserve a fate like that.
As we got closer my sword started to shine, and a door opened in front of us.
"Of course, you would need one of the keys to get inside" I said out loud.
"You are correct, my cute little descendant"
That voice could only be from Eriol Hiragizawa. I turned around to face him. I was happy to see him, and I expressed it in my very unique way.
"About time you showed up. Next time that you or you past life decide to do something I will personally hurt you. This is the craziest place of all to come"
"Now, now. I know that you missed me a lot, but you don't have to show it so much. Save it for your love"
I felt my cheeks turned red at that comment, but before I could open my mouth Tomoyo spoke. "Is she here with you Eriol?"
"Nope, but I have a feeling that she is probably inside there right now"
"And you would know that because?" I asked him a little upset about the thought of him being able to know better than me where she was.
"This is not the time to get jealous my cute descendant. We should get in and help her, and that way you can hug her and tell her how much you missed her," he said while smiling in that devious way that he always does. I was about to jump on him when something else crossed my mind. That feeling that I got that the first time that Sakura was attacked was back, and that could only mean one thing.
"Sakura is in trouble, everybody inside, now!" At that moment I didn't really care about showing how worried I was. She was in trouble, and I was not going to let anybody hurt a hair of her head.
I dashed inside using every single muscle that I had. That feeling was getting stronger, and that wasn't good at all. I could see the end of the hall, and I knew that was the place where she was, and when I got there the first thing that caught my eye was Sakura using the shield to protect herself from another shadow, a bigger one, but still a shadow. I was mad, so I jumped at him with my sword, but it blocked my attack, and it counterattack me with a spell that blew me away towards a wall, one that I never hit. The reason, Eriol and his spells. You know, he does come in handy sometimes.
"We need to get the item," said Eriol.
"But whose key will it work with?" asked Sakura while she kept her concentration on shield.
"That would be the one key that is glowing," said Eriol while showing us that his staff was indeed glowing.
"Well, what are you waiting for" Get up there and grab it before he decides to play some more" I told him a little bit annoyed about this situation.
Eriol move towards the altar where the item was, but the shadow attacked him. I jumped and blocked it this time. His strength was incredible, I could barely hold it.
"Li, hold him in place I have an idea" said Sakura.
"Huh, sure, but who is going to hold him from me?" I answered back. I wasn't exactly proud of that answer, but you have to understand that you tend to lose some part of your common sense when you have a big, nasty shadow trying to kill you, and the girl of your dreams trying to save you.
"Wood, stop him from moving" I heard Sakura say and I understood what she was doing. Wood might not be able to completely stop that shadow, but for the shadow to be able to attack me it needed to be solid, so wood could slow him down enough for Eriol to get to that altar. It seem that Eriol understood that too, because the minute that she did that he run towards the magical item.
The shadow was not happy at all, so it decided that I wasn't the target that he wanted, so he casted a spell and literally fried wood and gave me a tan that I didn't like very much. But even with that the plan had worked; Eriol was standing in front of the magical item.
The shadow charged towards him, but a light came from the item and it stopped the shadow. The magical item floated towards Eriol's staff and it fused with it. You know, you would expect his staff to change shape or something, but on its place was the same old exact one. I'll say it again, Clow Reed must have been crazy in some way.
"Well, how about if we send our little friend back to his master" said Eriol, and after that he casted a spell which was a lot more powerful that it usually is. It fried that shadow. The only thing that came to my mind was "Wow, that was. wow"
"That's right, and I have it all on tape." Said a very happy Tomoyo. I had to sweat drop from that.
"Are you ok Sakura. We were really worried about you, especially Li," told Tomoyo to Sakura.
"Really Li? You were worried about me?"
"Huh, I. I think we need to get moving and get the other items." I said avoiding the subject. She didn't press any further, and I was happy about that, but then I saw a hint of sadness on her eyes. I knew I had hurt her in some way, but I could not let her know my feelings, I just couldn't do it.
"Where to now Eriol?" asked Sakura.
"I'm not sure, but the keys will take us to the next location. Everybody, concentrate on the portal"
We did that and the portal appeared again. One by one we crossed, and while I was crossing it I had a feeling of going somewhere where I had been before.

We did that and the portal appeared again. One by one we crossed, and while I was crossing it I had a feeling of going somewhere where I had been before.
