Author's Note: I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura or any of their characters,
CLAMP owns all of that I think. The only characters that I own in this fic
are Pete and Ken and Hitomi and her sister Umi. Also they are about 18
years old in this fic and they are in their last year of high school. Oh,
and for those of you who are confused at the end of the chapter, I will try
to explain it as much as I can without spoiling the next chapters at the
end of this chapter, okay? Well, enjoy this chapter!
The Bottom Of A Crystal Heart
Chapter 13
Eriol watched as he seemed to step in front of Tomoyo and take the bullet for her.
'That's strange. I'm all the way over here. How could I be here and in front of Tomoyo at the same time?' he thought to himself, wanting to go over to Tomoyo and tell her that something wasn't right and that he wasn't dead. But something told him that he would find the answers to all of his questions if he just listened and watched, so he did. Once the two girls had stopped talking and had both disappeared, he watched with a bit of amusement as the other 'Eriol' stood up and changed back into someone that Eriol knew and disappeared.
'That Hitomi girl said that there was a powerful magician in Australia that was controlling all of this. There are only two magicians in Australia that I know, and that person who played the part of 'me' dying was one of them. I think that I've figured out their plan. I'd better go and speak to the two of them; it's not nice to try and manipulate people like this,' and then he disappeared to go and talk to the two mysterious magicians who were 'playing' with people's lives.

Syaoran watched helplessly as the woman's arms wrapped around Sakura tightly. He was about to react when Tomoyo came running out of nowhere to help her best friend.
"Sakura, this isn't Nakuru! This is Umi, who works for a magician in Australia who has set all of this up." whatever Tomoyo was going to say next was interrupted by the woman's evil laugh.
"Tomoyo, my sister told you everything, didn't she? Poor Tomoyo, you don't really know everything that happened, do you? Even Hitomi wasn't that stupid, to tell you the whole truth. Come here for a second," Umi let go of Sakura and went over to Tomoyo, who was still grieving over Eriol's 'death' that she let Umi approach. Sakura ran up to Tomoyo, trying to get there before Umi did as she thought that Umi was going to destroy Tomoyo.
"Sakura, it's okay. Umi won't do anything anyway. Hitomi already saw to that," Tomoyo said bitterly, referring to when Hitomi had 'killed' Eriol.
"What do you mean? I won't have my best friend being killed you know. I'm staying here," Sakura told her stubbornly, planting her feet so she would be hard to push away. Syaoran could only watch all of this as his access to the two girls had been blocked by a magical barrier. Umi was also watching this exchange between the girls with an interested expression, and to Syaoran it seemed like she was going to burst out laughing.
"I see that my master's plan has succeeded in it's goal so far with one part of this. I knew that Hitomi would complete her part before me. It's not fair that she got the good couple to manipulate," Umi muttered under her breath, hoping that nobody heard her, "Sakura, I promise that I won't hurt Tomoyo, she is not a part of my job in this plan. In fact, my master would kill me if I hurt her. If you like I'll change back to my real appearance if it will make you feel better." This Umi said loudly, hoping against hope that Sakura would believe her. She wanted to get Tomoyo out of the way so she could proceed with her plan. Sakura just nodded slowly and waited until Umi had returned to her real person before slowly moving off to one side, still ready to jump in if Tomoyo needed any help.
"Just remember your promise," Sakura told Umi confidently, "because otherwise I'll hurt *you.*" In reply Umi walked up to Tomoyo and whispered something quietly in her ear. Tomoyo's face suddenly became happy, then a bit confused, before it turned angry.
"I can't believe it! Wait until." was all that Sakura managed to hear from Tomoyo before Tomoyo began talking quietly again. They talked for about five minutes in total and then Tomoyo nodded before she disappeared.
"There, I didn't hurt her, did I?" Umi asked Sakura as she walked towards her, "but now I'll carry out my mission."
End Of Chapter 13
Sorry this is short but I have no time. Next chapter will be heaps longer, but it will be up pretty late as the school musical is on in two weeks and we have about a million practices. Again I am sorry for the shortness and lateness of this chapter, but I can't help it. The musical and homework are taking all of my time. Please review. Flame me if you wish.
