A/N Hi, not much to say, on with the story!



Sakura flung herself onto her bed, sobbing hysterically. A pair of curious eyes watched her closely. "Princess is something wrong?" Sakura looked up in surprise at the soft voice. She wiped her eyes and nodded,

"I have to marry 'Sir' Toby" Sakura screwed up her nose in disgust and punched the nearest pillow. After the feathers had cleared, the young woman sat next to Sakura, a confused look plastered on her face.

"Who is Sir Toby, and why do you have to marry him?" Sakura swallowed another sob and brushed a feather of her head.

"He is a jerk that sucks up to my father. I have to marry him because my father requires it. Oh Tomoyo, what am I to do?"

Tomoyo put her arm round Sakuras shoulders. "What can you do? Well, totally depends. Obviously you dont love him. Or any one else..."

"But I do." Sakura interupted, instantly she regretted that. Tomoyo gave her an ' Oh-Really' look.

"Who?"

"Just, A guy"

"Sakura, All guys are just a guy."

"Well, he was, is special. I was walking around last night and Sir Toby tried to, umm, well he wasnt particularily nice. Syaora, I mean this guy, he saved me. He was so nice. It's hard to explain."

Tomoyo listened closely. "Love is." Her mind wandered to her own love, she sighed happily, then frowned, knowing his plan made it hard to act naturally around Sakura.

"Tomoyo? TOMOYO?!!?" Sakura raised her hand, ready to slap her day-dreaming friend.

"Huh? Oh yeah," Tomoyo blinked and snapped back to reality. "Oh, sorry Sakura." Sakura put her hand on her head and groaned.

"What am I going to do?"

Tomoyo sat and pretended to think. "What can you do? If you love someone else, but are being forced to marry, Its enough to make some one want to.... run away." Tomoyo stressed the last two words, it worked Sakura jumped up.

"OF COURSE!!!" Sakura ran to her closet. "Syaoran said to met him tomorrow night, but I know where his house is, I'll go there. I'll need some clothes though, and maybe some food...."

Whilst Sakura rambled Tomoyo paled in realisation, 'Sakura can't go tonight thats when Syaoran discusses the finer points with Sir Toby, Oh what to do? What to do?'

She put her hand on Sakura's back "Umm Sakura, maybe you shouldnt go right now. Wait untill later. Maybe tomorrow." Sakura turned back to Tomoyo, tears welled up in her vivid green eyes.

"Sometimes there is no tomorow, Tomoyo. Now is all I have." Her apoligetic voice held a deeper meaning than Tomoyo realised. Sakura bit her lip, holding back tears.

Tomoyo looked confused and anxious at the same time. "But, but..." Sakura wasn't listening, she had climbed out the window, again.

"Bugga" Tomoyo ran.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Syaoran paced the room anxiously, "Six o'clock, Eriol, Six o'clock he said he would be here."

Eriol shrugged and looked around. "We really cant expect 'royalty' to be on time can we?"

Syaoran glared at nothing in particular, knowing that Eriol was correct.

Rapid thumps on the door snapped them out of their wait. Syaoran flung the door open, "Where the hel....Tomoyo?!"

Tomoyo ran in and grabbed Eriol by the scruff of his shirt. "Listen buster, Sakura is on her way here right now. I dont know how you are going to explain to her about the fact 'Sir' Toby is coming too. But you had better think fast!"

Syaoran had caught the gist of it, slammed the door shut and swore most viciously under his breath. Eriol had raised his hands to defend himself against the wrath of Tomoyo. He put them on her shoulders. " Are you sure Sakura is coming here?" Tomoyo's eye twitched,

"Apart from the fact, I am spying on her, abusing her friendship in a way I never would have, and she told me. No Eriol I am not sure."

Syaroran clenched his fists and punched a nearby wall. Eriol glanced at him.

"Did we REALLY need a bath room window, Syaoran?" Syaoran was about to snap back when the front door swung open.

"Hullo Syaoran, *hic* Eriol and ....*hic* uhh.... who ever the young girl assulting Eriol is." Sir Toby was in high spirits, it showed by the strong scent of alcohol on his breath.

"Tobias." Syaoran faced the drunken man "We have a problem."

"Really?" A soft voice floated in from outside.

Tomoyo bit her lip "Sakura,"

"Someone has a problem, and someone better have an answer." Sakura pushed Toby aside and faced the scowling face of Syaoran. "What the hell is going on Syaoran?" Syaoran blushed. Had the circumstance been any different Eriol would have laughed.

"I ...I can explain..."

Sakura raised her hand and slapped Syaoran with such force, the stunned male sat down. "I dont want an explanation, I NEVER want to see you again."

She turned to face the trembling Tomoyo, "I thought you were my friend, my only and best friend. I never could have imagined, you, are a liar and a traitor."

Sakura turned and ran, tears streaming down her face. Tomoyo just stared after her.

"Now what?"
