Summary: Looking around the music room, Tomoyo hears a small voice singing. She notices a small canary, and she is entranced by its song. She sits down in the corner of the room and listens, smiling. Then everything starts going wrong... CHAPTER ONE!!

Notes: Short chapter. Very short chapter. I know that. Sorry! And thank you for all of the reviews that I got last chapter! It made me so happy! ^_____^

Regretting Looking Behind

Eriol and Sakura looked back into the room, and found it empty. Tomoyo had gone somewhere. They exchanged puzzled glances and began looking a bit more around the room. They could still sense her presence in here, even if she didn't have magic, but her presence was so familiar to them now, that there was just something in the air that seemed to be Tomoyo. It was still here, but Tomoyo was nowhere to be seen. Sakura's eyebrows furrowed. "But she was just here a few minutes ago," Sakura said to Eriol. "She usually likes to stay in here writing new pieces after school." Sakura looked at her watch. "And it's only four fifteen. I thought she would still be here now. She usually leaves at five." She looked back at Eriol. "Do you have any ideas where Tomoyo went?"

Eriol surveyed the room again. "It still feels like she's in here, but I can't see her anywhere. She could be in one of the practise rooms."

Sakura looked down at the ground. "Yeah, that's always a possibility, but I thought she would tell us if she went down there. She usually wants you to play the piano with her while she sings. She hasn't been doing that much lately."

"I know. It's a little out of her character, but I have heard her singing some days after school by herself. She's very good." Eriol went over and gathered up a few pieces of paper that had been left lying around. They were some parts to a composition that Tomoyo had been writing. It looked about half-finished, and Eriol would recognise her style of writing music anywhere. He waved Sakura over. "Hey, Sakura, come over here. It looks like Tomoyo was halfway through this. She's writing a composition. I can't believe she would leave it lying around, and she had it all over the desks and the piano. It looks like she was in the mid-way of writing it, and nothing's disturbed. This isn't like her, Sakura..."

Sakura looked over at the sheets. Indeed, it was Tomoyo's composition. The title was Tenshi no Kaze. Wind Angel. It seemed like she was replicating the way the spirits played in the wind with music. Unique, and guaranteed to be original. She had flutes and reeds going. A lot of the wind instruments. Yes, this was definitely Tomoyo's work. She would be the only one to think of something like this. "No, it isn't, is it? Tomoyo usually likes for people to wait until she is finished before they see any of her music sheets. She plays around with the notes, and sees what fits. It's the way that she has always been."

Eriol nodded. "Yes, I agree with you there. I wonder where Tomoyo went though..."

"I'll go check the other rooms," Sakura said. "You see if you can find anymore clues as to where she might have gone, because I honestly have no idea."

"Okay, but be careful," Eriol said.

"Alright," Sakura replied before leaving the room. "Let me know if you see or hear from her. Ring me at home."

Eriol nodded. "Will do."

He began moving around the room again, and saw Tomoyo's bag in the corner of the room. He put the gathered sheets into a clearfile, put it in her bag, and then left the room.

Meanwhile, Tomoyo was outside the room, tears welling in her eyes. No one seemed to notice her anymore. What was going on?

To be continued...

Please don't flame me for the shortness of the chapters. I'm having a really bad day, and I know that all of my updates today are really short. I acknowledge that. Please, no pointless flames.

I appreciate it.

Review if you want to.
