Together, the group came upon the supposedly haunted house Naoko spoke of.
"Sure looks scary enough," Sakura sighed.
"Yeah," Tomoyo agreed, shuddering as she clicked on her camera.
Sakura looked towards Syaoran, hoping for encouragement. What she saw was detirmination. "Syao-chan?" she asked, curious.
He turned to face her and noticed her surprised look. "It's nothing, Sakura," he explained. "Nothing at all." He grabbed her hand. "Stay with me, okay?"
"Okay," Sakura agreed, taking his hand.
"Naoko and Tomoyo, you two explore the downstairs. Sakura and I will check the upstairs," he advised.
"Works for me," Tomoyo agreed, filming the group.
"I hope we find something!" Naoko exclaimed, the excitement in her voice remaining unhidden.
"I hope I film it!" Tomoyo agreed with the same enthusiam.
"Yeah...right..." Sakura said, tugging secretly on Syaoran's arm. "Ready, Syao-chan?"
"Yeah," he answered. "See you guys later!"
Sakura and Syaoran walked up the stairs, Sakura jumping at each creak the floor made.
"Calm down," Syaoran suggested.
"I...I...I'm just scared," Sakura stuttered.
He stopped and faced her, pulling her close. "Please, Sakura," he begged quietly. He leaned forward and kissed her passionately on the lips. "I promise I'll protect you..."
"How?" she whispered. "How, Syao-chan? We no longer have any Clow Cards, so how can you?"
"We'll be fine," Syaoran promised.
Tomoyo and Naoko entered the house, hoping to find their ghost. As they entered, Tomoyo felt a sudden chill.
"Wow, it's kinda cold in here," she whispered.
"Yeah," Naoko agreed.
Tomoyo moved her camera around, filming everything she could. "Think it's a sign of a ghost?"
"I sure hope so," Naoko answered. "I really do!"
Tomoyo nodded in agreement.
Syaoran squeezed Sakura's hand. "Are you okay?"
"Yes," Sakura answered.
"You swear?"
"Yes."
"You still look kind of scared..."
"I am, but it'll be fine. I have you to protect me."
"Yes, you do."
As Sakura was about to say something, Syaoran interrupted her. "I sense it..."
"Where?" Sakura asked, revealing paranoia and worry in her voice.
"I'm not sure, but it's close," he replied.
Sakura squeezed his hand. "Don't let go," she begged. "Don't let go no matter what!"
"I won't." As he spoke, a branch wrapped around Sakura's leg, slowly, remaining unnoticed.
They continued to walk and then Sakura slipped.
"SYAO-CHAN!" she screamed, struggling to get back up without any luck.
"Sakura, what happened?" he asked, bending down beside her.
Her grip started to slip away from him, and he tried to grasp tighter.
"What the hell?" he asked. Then he noticed the branch wrapped around Sakura's leg, slowly inching her backwards. "Sakura, hold on to me as tight as you can!"
"I'm trying," Sakura cried, tears running down her face now. She continued trying to tighten her grasp on Syaoran's hand.
Suddenly, the branch pulled as hard as it could, forcing Sakura and Syaoran apart.
"Syao-chan!" Sakura managed to choke out as the branch dragged her along the floor at a surprising speed.
Syaoran ran as fast as he could, trying to keep up with it, not having much luck.
"Sakura!" he yelled. "Don't worry! Everything will be fine!"
Hearing odd thumps upstairs, Tomoyo stopped, aiming the camera at the ceiling. "What's that?" she wondered allowed.
"It sounds like Syaoran and Sakura have found something!" Naoko answered, already running towards the stairs.
"Wait! It might not be safe!" Tomoyo suggested, suddenly feeling a rush of paranoia.
"Come on! How dangerous could it be?" Naoko asked, still heading towards the stairs.
Tomoyo didn't try to follow her. "I'm not really sure," she whispered, "but it can't be good."
"Sure looks scary enough," Sakura sighed.
"Yeah," Tomoyo agreed, shuddering as she clicked on her camera.
Sakura looked towards Syaoran, hoping for encouragement. What she saw was detirmination. "Syao-chan?" she asked, curious.
