Chapter1. The end for a mother



"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" a shrill scream pierced the cold night air. Syaoran shot up from his bed. He was panting. He looked around and wiped a cold sweat of his face and got up from his blankets, slowly. He walked quietly up the hall from were the scream had come from. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks. Before him lay a crumpled body, shadows cascaded over it. The body belonged to his mother. He walked slowly around. His heartbeat was racing and his panting hard and shallow. He looked down upon her. She lay motionless on the ground. He kneeled down to her body and felt her neck for a pulse. Nothing. He rolled her over on her back. Her eyes were open with the look of fear. Her grey eyes shone like marbles in the light. The corners of Syaoran's eyes prickled and a hard warm lump fell down his throat.

'She's dead' he told himself.

"Mu...mu.... mum?" he stuttered. He heard footsteps sweeping up the hall behind and in front of him. He swept his mother into his arms and rocked back and forth.

'My mothers dead!', those words screamed in his head. The footsteps turned into a run and people ran out of rooms. They stopped at were Syaoran was. He rocked back and forth silent tears running down his cheeks. Fenran screamed and ran to one of the elders and burst into tears. An old man walked up to Syaoran very slowly.

"S..s...s..she....she's....n..no ...please..no...!" he stuttered. The elder leant down to Syaoran and felt Sanori's pulse. Surely enough she was dead. Some one murdered Sanori. Syaoran could hear the cries and screams of his sisters behind him. He could hear people whispering 'She's dead!'. Another set of muffled footsteps came walking down the hall behind everyone.

"Why is everyone making so much noise now shut up! You don't wanna see me angry!" came Meilin's cries. She stopped and pushed though the crowd.

"Please everyone I'm trying to get my beauty sleep!" but then she stopped. She had come to the front of the circle. She saw Syaoran curled up holding Sanori in his arms.

"And what's going on here Syaoran?" she asked in a squeaky, small voice. Syoran looked up at her. One of the elders swept over to Meilin and whispered in her ear. She gasped and then disappeared from sight. Syaoran didn't notice any of this. He didn't care. His mind was still buzzing with thoughts that kept on screaming 'She's dead' and 'My mothers gone!' Suddenly he came back down to realize what was happening when a hand fell upon his shoulder.

"Syaoran let her go." Said a calm voice but Syaoran held on even harder. More tears fell over his cheeks. The elder leant over Syaoran and pried his fingers away from his mother. He picked Syaoran off the floor. He stumbled but someone grabbed him. He looked up but the tears in his eyes made the face blurry. The person lead him though halls until they came to his room. The person supported him and helped him onto his bed. He wiped his eyes and saw some girl looking down at him. He rubbed his face and looked up again. He jumped back. Tomoyo was looking down on him.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" he screamed. She moved towards him and he moved backwards.

"GET AWAY!" he screamed again. She crept closer until he fell off his bed. He stumbled and got up. He picked up his sword and waved it back and forth. She dodged it. He could hear and voice calling him. He stumbled backwards and his vision blurred. He was seeing double. He fell backwards. A distant voice called him closer. It echoed all around him. His vision was focusing he could just make out the outline of Xiefa.

"Syaoran stop it, it's me!" she was yelling. People stood behind her. The shouting had caught their attention. One of the elders swept in front of Xiefa and chanted something. Suddenly Syaoran felt dizzy and very tired. He fell backwards onto the floor into a deep heavy sleep. His sword clattered on the ground beside him. Several of the elders had to pick Syaoran up. They put him onto his bed and pulled the sheets over his body. He lay limp without any movement. Xiefa sat next to him and cried. She stayed were she was all night and all next day. The elders had shot a powerful sleeping spell upon him. They now had their own suspicions on who killed Sanori and they all led to Syaoran. Xiefa was convinced, however, that he would never. He lay peaceful in his bed asleep not having to worry about anything. Xiefa whispered an old song, their mother used to sing to them every night when they were little, to Syaoran.

"I know you didn't kill her Syaoran!" she whispered and then kissed her little brother on the forehead. Syaoran arose a few hours later. He looked blurry eyed up at Xiefa.

"What...what happened Xiefa?" Syaoran asked rubbing his forehead.

"After you attacked me...."

"What? I attacked you! I...I attacked Tomoyo not you!" he cried trying to get up. Xiefa pushed him back down. A few tears weld in Syaoran's eyes. He had just realized what had happened the night before. Xiefa leaned down a hugged him. Syaoran got up from his bed and changed into some fresh clothes. Xiefa walked in the garden talking quietly for a while then Syaoran went back to his room to rest. Everyone he pasted were crying or eyeing him suspiciously. How could they possibly think that he killed his own mother? He felt like a heavy load was dropped on top of him. His loved his mother and now she had left him just like his father did! He lay on his bed, his face hot and red. He didn't know what happened when he started to attack Xiefa. He was sure it was Tomoyo but then again he was in a very emotional state and he couldn't see very well because he was crying. Syaoran didn't want to think about this but he couldn't get the picture of his mother's lifeless, motionless body lying on the ground out of his mind. He lay on his bed trying to block out these thoughts. He was tired and in no mood to talk. Suddenly he came back down to earth when his computer started to beep. He got up wiped his eyes and looked at it.

You have E-mail! Syaoran opened the letter and Cherry Blossom petals floated over the screen. From when he saw the petals he knew it was from Sakura. He read it.

Dear Syaoran.

Hi! How are you going? I'm fine and so is Kero. I was just wondering what you've been up too. It's so cold here! How is it in Hong Kong? Kero has been begging me to get the new ninja game for him. He is now addicted to Ninja Worriers number three. It's really annoying. How did your family react when you came home without the Clow Cards? I hope I didn't get you into any trouble! Do you think I should tell my dad and Touya about the Clow Cards and our magic yet? I'm not sure I should but I need to. I have noticed a great deal of magic energy coming from Touya lately. Well I hope your well. Say hi to Xiefa for me!

Love always

Your little Cherry Blossom.





As Syaoran read the letter he got a bit emotional. He couldn't help it. Sakura was having such a great time and now he was worried if he should tell her or not about his mothers death. Sakura would just worry and he didn't want that. He was trying to look out for her. Syaoran had to get out of his room. He sat outside in the garden for a while thinking. He finally decided to send Sakura a letter telling her about what happened. If she found out any other way she would be upset. She would've wanted Syaoran to tell her first. He wrote back hoping for a reply soon. He put his own picture on it. A Little wolf ran across the screen then stumbled got back up and walked off. He paused. He didn't know how to put it. How could he tell her of his mother's death?



Dear Sakura.

Last night I found my mother dead. She was murdered Sakura. I don't know how this happened or who could've done this. There were no signs of struggle or marks on her body. Xiefa bought me to my room, after I found her, but only it wasn't Xiefa. When I looked at her it was Tomoyo. I got out my sword and tried to get her but suddenly she disappeared and Xiefa was standing there. It was so strange. One of the elders put me in a deep sleeping spell to stop me from hurting anyone and now they think that I killed my mother! I don't know how they could do this! I've tried to explain millions of times but ever since I didn't bring any of the Clow Cards back they haven't trusted me. Please I don't want you to worry I just thought you should know. I just need someone to talk too. Xiefa has been very helpful. I have told her and she believes me. I don't know what I'm going to do Sakura. I'm in so much pain. It's hard but I will be strong.

Love your Little Wolf.





He sent it straight away and then went back to his bed to sleep. He would know soon if Sakura had gotten his letter.

Beep beep.

"Hey Sakura you got mail!" Kero cried not looking up from his game. Sakura rushed from the bathroom half wet, wrapped in a towel and looked at her computer.

"Yes it's from Syaoran!" she sat down in the chair and opened it. She giggled when the wolf came running across the screen but stopped instantly when she saw the first line. She gasped and nearly fell off her chair.

"Oh no!" she cried, "Oh no! I...I have to go see Syaoran!"

"WHAT? You're not going to that gaki's house! They all hate you because you have the Clow Cards! I forbid you from going anywhere near Hong Kong. Their family have people everywhere! If he wants you to come and see him then he can come here where I can protect you! That gaki isn't getting you to go to Hong Kong! Over my dead body! He probably wants to steal the cards, what a Gaki, wait till I get my hands on him!" Kero cried very fast and he went on talking about Syaoran. Then after he'd started half way though calling him a gaki again Sakura lost it. She jumped up tears in her eyes.

"KERO IF YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT SYAORAN LIKE THAT I'LL...I'LL, Oh Kero it's happening again! Syaoran wrote to tell me that his mothers been murdered and they all think it was him when it wasn't just because he saw Tomoyo again and...and.... oh Kero what will we do?" she cried. Kero suddenly stopped at this. He dropped the controller to his game and even let it get game over. He flew over to Sakura and read the note. Once he was finished he looked up. He was pale. The last time Tomoyo was here she nearly killed him and Sakura, now she was back killing again.

"I thought you told me Syaoran got rid of her!" he cried franticly.

"Well that's what we thought!" Sakura paced the room thinking. How could Tomoyo have escaped? Tomoyo said the only way a person can come out of the pit again is to be called out by someone with very strong magical powers! Who could've wanted to summon Tomoyo, only a person that would want...want, she thought and then it hit her. Syaoran was the target! The person who set Tomoyo free must've wanted Syaoran dead because after Syaoran trapped Tomoyo she said she'd be back to kill him. It was all so clear now.

"Oh no we've got to warn Syaoran, someone's trying to kill him!" she cried.

Beep. Syaoran looked up from his bed to the computer. Sakura had sent him a letter. He rushed over and opened it. Cherry Blossom petals floated over the screen as he read.

Dear Syaoran,

I'm really sorry about your mother. I have decided to come to Hong Kong on the first flight I can get! I think someone's trying to kill you Syaoran. I have a feeling the Tomoyo is back. She said she'd kill you once she got out. I think someone who's got a grudge on you has set her free. You have to be really careful! I will be there soon. Please, Syaoran, be on your guard!

Love your Cherry Blossom.



Syaoran groaned. He did want to upset Sakura or trouble her. Oh well he thought, at least I will get to see her again. He lay on his bed anxious. That night he didn't get any sleep worried about Sakura himself and he couldn't get the terrible pictures of his mother's dead body out of his mind. Finally at four in the morning he finally drifted off.

"Sakura we can't afford to send you to China!" Sakura's father said in a sympathetic voice.

"But Dad!"

"I'M NOT GOING TO LET DAD SEND YOU ANYWHERE NEAR THAT GAKI!" Touya cried.

"Look you don't understand!"

"Sorry Honey I don't have the money!"

"But!"

"NO WAY!" Touya cried.

"SYAORAN'S MOTHER WAS MURDERED!" Sakura cried, and with that Touya and her father shut up. They looked at Sakura nonplussed wondering what to say.

"What happened?" Touya said calmly.

"Syaoran found his mother dead in one of their hallways. She was murdered, Touya, Syaoran needs the support from a friend at the moment and because he lives in Hong Kong he left all of his friends he made here behind. Please Dad he needs me!" she said slowly.

"Why does he need you? Is anything going on with you too?" Touya cried.

"NO! I'm just his friend Touya!" Sakura cried looking at her father with pleading eyes.

"Ok Sakura you may go but I you will have to wait until I have enough money!" he said sighing.

"Thank you dad! He."

"Yes I know he needs you!" he said sarcastically. Sakura raced to him and wrapped her arms around the both of them. Touya grunted and moved away. She ran back up to her room to write to Syaoran.

Beep, beep. Syaoran looked up. His computer was making noise. He wiped his eyes and yawned. He needed a really good sleep. He got up and walked over to it.

You have E-mail! It was from Sakura. He opened it and read.

Hi Syaoran,

I hope you are feeling better. My father says that when we have the money I can travel to see you. I don't think I am safe here and you certainly aren't safe with Tomoyo back. I won't be able to travel straight away because Dad doesn't have the money at the moment. Touya is very stubborn and doesn't want to let me go. He says he won't give me any of his work money to send me to Hong Kong so I say it will be at least a month till I will see you. I hope I can come soon. Love you!

Cherry Blossom.



Syaoran felt a bit happier when he received the letter. 'Love you!' he thought, 'does that mean?' but at that moment someone nocked on the door.
