Yours Forever, Syaoran: Chapter 3

The door the creaked open all the way and Tomoyo sighed a pang of relief. Before her stood the white-clad figure of Sakura, frightened and shivering slightly of Tomoyo's cold room. She walked in, her arms tightening on her thin-as-paper robe.

"S-Sakura?" Tomoyo finally breathed. Sakura smiled a little at her friend and Tomoyo let out a sigh of relief.

"Hai, Tomoyo. Sorry if I scared you....." She added sheepishly. Tomoyo grinned and held out her hand to Sakura.

"Well, I guess this makes us even for the balcony scene earlier." They both giggled as Sakura took Tomoyo's hand and allowed Tomoyo to lead her to the balcony. They both stared at either the garden or the moon or the star-filled sky, wrapped up in their own thoughts, sharing a comfortable silence. Suddenly a thought struck Tomoyo, realizing that much grief had been made and Tomoyo knew not why.

"Sakura?" Sakura, still stuck in her own world, staring at the shining moon, answered with a mere "Mmmmm?"

"Why did you think Syaoran was lying in the letter?" Tomoyo asked, a little scared at the Cherry Blossom's reaction. Through all of this, she had forgotten about her psychic ability, allowing her best friend to tell her what she needed to say. Sakura tore her gaze from the moon and stared at Tomoyo, her emerald eyes confused. Then it hit her.

"Oh, that.......well, I just know that he was lying Tomoyo. Did you notice the letter's tense aura?" Tomoyo nodded.

"Yes, but he probably wrote the letter in the middle of a battle field. He is in a war, you know."

"Yes, I know, but have you forgotten that I'm a powerful sorceress? I just know these things. And I knew right then and there that he was lying to me. My brother is not alive and well." Tomoyo looked shocked.

"B-but, how? I mean-" Sakura put up a hand to silence Tomoyo. Noticing tears slowly running down Sakura's face, Tomoyo panicked, but tried to keep quiet as her friend had instructed.

"H-his aura disappeared. A few days ago, his powerful aura, well you know his aura, it just disappeared. And I knew that he was either so injured that his aura was too week to be felt, or that he was......was....." She trailed off, her running tears turning into streaming waterfalls. Tomoyo swept over to her friend and wrapped her arms around her in a tight hug. Sakura hugged her back, sobbing into her purple nightgown.

"Oh god Tomoyo, my brother, could it possibly be that he's.......dead?" Sakura put enough feeling into that one last world that Tomoyo began to cry as well.

~~*~~

The same dark figure that had been watching Sakura stood in the same dark place. A white orb floats in front of it, and in it are Sakura and Tomoyo crying. The creature shook it's head, long hair fraying the stillness of the night. It tapped it's long staff on the cave's cold floor and light fills it, revealing itself. A tiny, tick-like thing jumped up onto it's throne beside it.

"Meilin?" It squeaked. Meilin let out another evil chuckle.

"Yes, Aka-hoshi?" She said in a seemingly-innocent-but-definitely-not voice.

"Is Prince Syaoran lying? Like Princess Sakura says? But that would mean that Prince Touya is dead......could that be it?" Meilin gave an exasperated sigh then swatted at the tiny tick before getting up and walking over to the tiny window over by the far end of the cave. It was the only one in their tiny cave.

"Prince Touya is in fact, dead. Poor soul, and I did have a sort of crush on him. But my heart is in my words to Naraku. I promised him that I would kill Syaoran and give Sakura to him. Or that the war with the invisible Janelians," She chuckled before continuing. "will kill him and with no where to go, poor Princess Sakura will come running to someone for advice. And I'll be right there for her." She smiled darkly before tapping her staff on the floor again. The room was enveloped with a dark red light and when it faded, Meilin no longer stood in front of Aka-hoshi, but a young girl with pale skin, raven colored hair and violet eyes wearing a pale blue dress: Tomoyo. Aka-hoshi rewarded her transformation with applause and the evil with bowed.

"Bravo, bravo Meilin! So when are you going to carry out your plan?" Aka-hoshi asked excitedly. Meilin/Tomoyo pretended to look thoughful, then snapped her fingers, tapped her staff on the cold floor and then disappeared from that very spot, leaving darkness and red smoke in her wake.
