"FUCK. YOU. BAS. TERD. And your mom was boring last night." Was all Eriol could say.
"YOU MOTHER-FUCKER!" yelled Syaoran "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" ripping his hands off of Eriol with such rage, not knowing what do to. Obviously he didn't mean what he said, but this was getting out of hand. Syaoran mind was flooded with too many questions of confusion, fear and hatred. Completely bewildered, he ran to the brandy bottle and drank out what was left of it as fast as he mouth would let him. He felt it plunge down his throat gulp after gulp, the tanginess burning the sides of his mouth. Within seconds he sensed dizziness as he fell towards the ground, banging his head onto something small and hard. Now, all he could see was black. his last thoughts were of Sakura and Tomoyo as he passed out, not knowing what Eriol was now upto.

"Nang-Lu! Get back here!" Yelled Sakura running after the little girl who had just grabbed her purse.
"Jeez, I hope the guys aren't having as much fun as us!" Laughed Tomoyo
"Hehe, nah, but I can't wait to find out what they actually talked about! What if they step on it though!?" Sakura thought allowed.
"Nah, it's not like they're running around the boat trying to kill each other. Hahaha."
`*~ `*~ `*~ End of Previous Chapter`*~ `*~`*~*~
"AAAahhhhh" yawned Syaoran as he got up off of the floor of the boat. It was morning now. He felt kind of weird, not remembering much of what had happened last night, and hoping that what he DID remember was just a stupid dream. He rubbed his chest, still half asleep. His shirt was ripped showing-off his remarkable figure. He rubbed his eyes trying to get used to the light.
"HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! WHAT THE FU-" yelled Syaoran in shock. Looking down at his hands, full of blood, which apparently was ALL over his shirt, and face now.
"Where'd this blood come from!? Oh, my, god, can it be?!" Syaoran thought for a moment, but finally it all made sense. . . . "Eriol. " Syaoran whispered, still starring at his hands.
He looked around, no one was there.
"Eriol!? Are you there?!" he called out. Syaoran couldn't believe this. What happened last night after he passed out? "ERIOL THIS ISN'T A JOKE! COME OUT!" he yelled in rage turning around in all directions. "Man, ERIOL?! THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE!!"
Syaoran stood there for a while hoping a blue-haired boy would jump out any yell "SURPRISE!" But nothing happened.
"No, but I DIDN'T kill Eriol, I COULDN'T." stated Syaoran. 'But you were drunk, Syaoran.' He secretly thought to himself. 'But didn't I pass out?'
Syaoran ran his hands down his hair, he had never been so lost in his entire life, until he took his first step, his first step into a tiny little puddle of blood.
"Fuck." Syaoran sighed and followed the footsteps of blood hoping (surely knowing it was impossible) that they would lead to Sakura and Tomoyo, he really needed them right now.
"Oh my GOD." Syaoran said to himself shaking his head. He just realized the footprints of blood led straight to the edge of the boat. . . and over.
"My god my god MY GOD" Syaoran said clenching his teeth totally pissed at the world. 'Why does THIS hafta happen to ME of ALL people?!" He looked back from where he was standing now. What was looking back at him made him want to turn around and jump off the boat. "God please I'm sorry for everything I've done, I'll never drink again, just get me outta this, I'm begging you, please?" Syaoran whispered looking up at the sky, hoping that some sort of fairy godmother would carry him back to land and tell him not to let anyone know that she was watching out for him and always will. "I knew those Cinderella stories were a phony." He thought aloud. He was face to face with a room never as blood-spattered. Everything was torn apart.
Syaoran then noticed something, he walked over towards the brandy bottle, or so what was left of it. Beside it was lying a little pocketknife, the one Eriol had pulled out the other night.
'It wasn't a dream?' Syaoran thought to himself with utter confusion.
In fact, it WAS the same knife, but not exactly. It was no longer shining a clean silver, even with the light reflecting it. . . It was BLOOD-FILLED. It was filled with goriness. It was filled with Eriol.

"SYAORAN!!! SYAO!!! OVER HERE!!! SYAO!!!" yelled Sakura from the platform, waving her hands wildly.
"Sakura, he look's different?! Is his shirt ripped?" asked Tomoyo in concern.
Both girls simply starred, completely puzzled. Watching Syaoran steer the boat back, shirt torn and wounded, face full of fear. Syaoran didn't say a word or even a gesture of response.
The boat slowly reached the dock and Syaoran walked off. Sakura and Tomoyo ran to him with confusion.
"Hey Syao I missed you!" Mentioned Sakura as she started him with a kiss, expecting him to continue, which he didn't. "Syao, something's wrong. Was your shirt ripped to begin with?! Oie, is that blood?" Began Sakura reaching her finger out touching the blood on Syaoran's forehead.
Syaoran just sat there.
"Syaoran, umm, don't you think you forgot something?" Tomoyo asked just realizing something was missing. Looking around, she asked, "Uh where's Eriol?" Sakura still all over Syaoran in panic.
"Listen," started Syaoran. "Something happened on the boat and now Eriol's gone okay?" he said rudely.
"WHAT?!" Both girls cried at the same time.
Syaoran sighed and explained about the brandy, the way they're 16 now, the way Eriol drank too fast and had completely lost it and was ready to attack him with a pocketknife. So he pushed him away and passed out and by the time he got up, Eriol was missing but he found footprints of blood leading over the boat.
"I'm calling the police-" started Sakura turning around.
"NO-" began Syaoran.
WEEEEOOHHH WWWWEOOOOOHHHHH WEEEEEEEEOHHH
A police car came in high speed. An officer ran out towards Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Is there a Syao, Syaoran here?" the officer asked. He was a real officer for sure. He was tall and dark, slim yet surely strong and built. His eyes were cold and his cap shadowed it off.
Syaoran raised his hand in surprise. "Is there something wrong officer?"
"Syaoran Li? You're under arrest for first-degree murder. We have investigators looking aboard your boat for evidence on your friends death." He said aggressively expecting no 'buts'.
"What?!" started Tomoyo.
"Officer-" tried Syaoran.
"Who called you officer? Syaoran just came off the boat. No one could of possibly known about Eriol's DISAPPEARANCE until NOW." Stated Sakura.
"Lady, we got a call 2 hours ago about this ok? Is it just coincidence I find you immature teens here?"
"Bu-"
"2 HOURS--?"
'2 HOURS AGO? IS THIS A SETUP?! HOLY MUTHAFUCKER. THIS AINT RIGHT. AINT RITE AT ALL' thought Syaoran as the officer grabbed both his hands without his convenience and stuffed them into the cuff, one by one. Syaoran tried to let go but the officer had too much of a steady grip.
"Look officer, I don't know what you're talking about--" Tried Syaoran but was cut-off.
"You keep your mouth shut. You have the right to remain silent and to a lawyer. But I don't think even that will work, we found a small tape- recorder hidden under a mat, we got EVERYTHING on tape. Mr. Li, you're coming with me." Declared the police officer with a little snort showing a bit of amusement for the first time.
"TAPE-RECOR--?!"
"SHUT IT!" yelled the officer.
"Oh my god, Sakura, whatever happened on the boat was all taped-" whispered Tomoyo.
"And now the police think it's Syaoran, he must've said something that sparked the light for these guys." Continued Sakura rather quietly, a tear streaming down her cheek. She could feel the guilt rising from her stomach into her throat, what would Syaoran think of her if he found out?
"He's been framed Sakura, the police got a phone call AHEAD of time, before anyone even knew." Tomoyo stated finally realizing that Sakura wasn't listening.
"Le-et G-g-go- of m-mee" Syaoran warned trying to shake loose. "I wou-ld ne-ever huu-r-t E-eer-io-ol" still trying to shake loose.
"Shut it. You're friend Eriol has been killed and thrown off boat, his body hasn't been found but we have a witness, WHO you will NOT be meeting for his OR her safety. You were the last one to be with Eriol. He was on that boat with only you." Said the officer, the least bit emotional, pulling Syaoran towards the back of his car. "Teenagers," he sighed to himself shaking his head.
"Listen, you girls say bullshit to anyone kay? Something's wrong and I'm going to find out. Watch out for ANYTHING and trust NO ONE" Syaoran whispered quickly as he was heaved away.
Sakura and Tomoyo stood there helplessly, watching one of the only guys they ever trusted, being hauled away into jail, for the murder his best friend.
