What do I do now…
I'm confused…
I…I can't think…
Blue eyes stared down at the ground in despair. Tears were threatening to spill anytime but the 'snowman' was never one who cry. His heart was wrenching, his head was throbbing. Every now and then, the name 'Tomoyo' came to his mind and his heart wrenched even more.
He…
He needed to find her.
"Tomoyo…" He slowly stood up, eyes filled with a mixture of anguish, sorrow and despair. "I will find you…I promise." He vowed before running away into the distance as fast as his legs could carry him.
"I won't let Skrichey take you away…I won't let anything happen to you…If he hurts you, I'll never let him off." He promised.

"Eat this." Skrichey ordered as he threw the packet of rice pudding down before the amethyst-eyed girl. Tomoyo glanced down at the packet before looking back up at those dark fiery eyes.
"I-I…I'm not hungry." She replied softly.
"Fine! Then I'll let you starve to death!" Skrichey barked as he took back the packet and exited out of the room.
"W-Wait!" Tomoyo cried out. He turned around with cold, glaring eyes.
"…When will you release me?" She asked, eyes growing fearful. His eyes gleamed with revenge, "Until he dies."
"Nooo!" Tomoyo shouted despairingly but the door slammed shut soon after. She leant back against the hard cement wall, burying her head in her hands and beginning to cry.
Please don't let anything bad happen to Eriol-kun…Please don't…Please…
She closed her eyes and prayed. Prayed that everything would be alright. Prayed that Eriol will never come for her so that he would not fall into Skrichey's trap.
But…
If Eriol never comes for me…
Then won't I be trapped here forever?
She looked around. She was surrounded by four blank cement walls glaring at her. The small room was dirty, full of dust and small insects. Her legs were tied together and she was beginning to have difficulty breathing.
I don't want this…
Please let me go…
Eriol-kun…

Syaoran glanced down grimly at Sakura who was crying on his chest. Eriol had let out the news to them that Tomoyo had gone missing and the blue-eyed boy had disappeared after that.
"Why is this happening, Syaoran? I don't want anything bad to happen to Tomoyo-san…" Sakura continued to sob. Syaoran nodded, gently tracing those amber tresses of his girlfriend, "I wished that, too." He whispered softly.
"Hey creature!" The familiar and irritating voice cried out from behind. Syaoran turned around, letting out a sigh as the sight of Sallie reached his eyes.
"What is it, Kimosos?" He asked annoyingly. Sallie looked down at the sobbing Sakura before frowning, "Where's that 'snowman'?" Syaoran shrugged, "I don't have any idea. He ran off soon after coming back to Shades…Why?"
"Oh I've just gotten two tickets to a concert and I was thinking--" Sallie was being cut off when Syaoran snatched away the tickets from her hand.
"Hey give that back!" She yelled.
"CUT IT OUT, WILL YOU!?" Syaoran barked. Sallie turned silent, face red with anger.
"Don't you understand? Tomoyo is now gone. We don't know where is she. Eriol is somewhere out there finding her. He's worried dead about Tomoyo and here you are, always trying to destroy every time that stands in your way of chasing Eriol!" Syaoran's face reddened with anger, "You're always so childish. You're always trying to win the heart of Eriol even though you know you can't. Why can't you wake up!? WHY!?"
"OH YOU SHUT UP! What do you know!? You know nothing!!! I love Eriol! And I don't care a heck about Tomoyo! When you love somebody, you must show him how much you love him!" Sallie retorted back.
"Well then you're wrong! When you love somebody, you wish him the best of his happiness, even if his happiness is with another girl! If Eriol is happy being with Tomoyo, why don't you let him off!? WHY ARE YOU SO SELFISH!? You say you're in love with Eriol but that's nothing but a lie! You don't love Eriol! You're just trying to win him over because you're jealous that he likes somebody more than you! WHY ARE YOU SO SELFISH!? WHY!?!?" Syaoran yelled.
Silence.
"Sallie…if you really love Eriol, you should give him the happiness he wants. He's happy being with Tomoyo so let him be. Why destroy his happiness? Why destroy everything that he has in his heart? Will you only be happy when you take away his happiness? Will you only be happy when he starts to cry?" Sakura asked softly with dried tears still clinging on to her face.
Sallie remained silent, dropping her head down.
"Sallie, I'm sure when you're young, you've read some beautiful fairytale romance, haven't you? Everybody is always anxious to see the two lovers get together. Now the situation we're having is the same. Eriol and Tomoyo are the two lovers. And then you're there to break up everything. The fairytale ends in an ugly way and everybody will blame you. Do you want to see such a beautiful fairytale come to an end in this way?" Syaoran asked in a softer way.
Dead silence.
"…I…I don't know." Sallie finally whispered.
"Sallie, I admit I hate you a lot because you're always standing in the way of my best friend's life. You're always trying to take away Eriol's happiness. He was always cold and unfriendly until he met Tomoyo. But I believe that everybody is a good person. There is no wrong, there is no right. Just two stands holding different opinions. I know you're not totally heartless. If you really love Eriol, let him be with the girl he really loves." Syaoran finished with a pair of sorrowful eyes.
Sallie looked down to the ground.
"…I…" That was all she could manage.
Sakura smiled, giving Sallie a gentle squeeze on the shoulder.
"Every good girl deserves a good guy. Find the guy you truly love. I know you will." Sakura said. Sallie remained silent.
Perhaps…
Perhaps all this while I was just blindly following the wrong path…
Perhaps Eriol was not the right guy for me…
[ Find the guy you truly love. I know you will. ]
…The guy I truly love…
Someone who will be there when I'm down…
Sallie looked up and smiled.
"Thank you, Sakura. Thank you, Syaoran. I know what to do now."

"TOMOYO! TOMOYO!" Eriol yelled at the top of his lungs as he scanned the vast plains for the amethyst-eyed girl.
Where could Skrichey bring her to?
Surely not any crowded places…
Caves? The sea? Some kind of deserted houses?
He fell onto the ground in despair.
There are too many places…I can't…I can't possibly tell exactly which place she'll be in…
"Tomoyo…" As he called her name, his heart wrenched for the thousandth time and his fingers despairingly dug into the sand.
"God…please…please don't do this to me…" His mind was throbbing with intense pain, his heart was wrenching just with the thought of Tomoyo. He needed to find her…He had to…
This…
This is just another crossroad in my life…
Just like how Dad died…In the end…In the end I got through it…
But…
Now that I've reached another crossroad…
For the first time…
I don't know where to go anymore…
He didn't know how it happened. It just came.
The tears…
One by one, they rolled down his sorrowful face before he starting crying hard in his hands.
The last time he cried was 5 years ago when his Dad died before his eyes. There was nothing he could do. Now everything was the same again.
He was crying all over again. And there was nothing he could do.
