Hey!!!!!!!! This story is a little on the disturbing side, so if your easily distressed I suggest you turn around and find another fic. Anyway, I do not own CCS OR CC OR CLAMP, CLAMP does. (Does that make sense?)

Ok, hope you like it and if you don't please review and tell me why!

Sakura's life is tangled and broken. The Ghost returns to her every night and she can't escape his clutches.

Along comes a stranger, handsome, cool, he is Sakura's only way out. While Sakura chases the Shadows of her Past, Syaoran Li is determined to chase her.

A Father. A daughter. A stranger. And unspoken secrets.

I always knew that I'd find out some day, find out why and how and when. Why my life was different from all the others, why I was punished every day of my young life for being born into a world that I didn't understand. In some way, I think I always knew. I don't think I ever needed him to spell it out for me, but my heart wouldn't believe it. And so now I was running, running away from the truth, from the secrets never spoken, from my heart and soul and realisation of life. My life in particular. For fifteen years I had been blamed, and for fifteen years I had also blamed myself. I blamed myself for my birth, blamed myself for never crying out when I should have, and now years of hurt, anger and words were coming back to haunt me.

Burning tears were streaming down my cheeks as I disappeared into the woods. I didn't care where I was going, didn't care if they came after me, they'd never find me. I was a daughter of nature. I could be as silent as a lioness stalking her prey; I could sing as long and sweet as any bird. But most of all, I could blend into the shadows to hide from the hunter. His words were repeating themselves like a broken record, over and over, endless torture returning with each syllable. How I wanted to get rid of it, wanted to get rid of the pain, but I couldn't. Everything was said, every shadow of my past that I had been chasing were finally in my grasp. But nothing would ever be the same.

Some shadows are darker than night and more secret than others. They are the one's that are hard to find no matter how much you want to catch them. The secrets that they hold are often too painful to escape. But sometimes you have to escape in order to return.

You like the prologue? Hope so. Anyway…
