Disclaimer: I do not own CCS . but if I did I would pair up Tomoyo with Eriol. They make SUCH a kawaii couple. Hehe.

Chapter 2: Something Weird is going on

'Let them escape? To the wrong hands?' Sakura gasped and looked blankly at the clock, screaming "HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm LATEEE!!! Um, Kero-chan, I'll have to get back to you on that some other time. But for now, I'm late for school!"

"Bring me food then!"

****Sakura's PoV***

' Damn, I'm going to be late!'

As I was running down the stairs, "OHAYO DADDY!!" I exclaimed. I gave my dad the most beaming smile of happiness and he reflected back at me. Behind him, I saw a tall brown haired guy about the age of 25. I gazed at him and a click went through my brain.

'It couldn't be . could it?' As I gazed at the guy, he suddenly turned around and smirked.

"Touya?!"

"Ohayo Kajuu."

I took a step back in surprise and shock. "What are YOU doing here? I thought you were in COLLEGE!"

He looked at me and gave me an evil smile. " Well, I'm not surprised Kajuu, You're at the age of 14 and you're STILL late for school."

I clenched my fist, and gritted my teeth in anger. "Don't CALL ME KAJUU!! By the way, I'm not surprised that you're still eating donuts for breakfast." She breathed in deeply and emphasized "TOUYA!"

He gave me a death glare but I ignored it. "I'm on a break and going to find a new job since they didn't have any open near Tomeda College. So I came back I'm home to look for a job here." He said in a matter-of-fact tone, popping another donut in his mouth.

"Whatever! Ja Touya! Ja daddy!"

I took a donut and put in my mouth. I walked over to the front door and hurrily got my roller blades on. Opening the door, I head out and took a deep breath, smiled and skated my way to school.

***Normal P.o.v and at school***

A cool wind was entering the classroom, and heads turned in the direction of where the wind was coming from. Sakura Kinomoto has entered the classroom. (A.N: SO original! ^^;;!)

"GOMEN, I'm late Terada SENSEI!!!!!" She exclaimed.

" It's ok, Ms. Kinomoto. You can take you're seat now." He spoke gently to her and smiled so she could feel welcome.

She took a look around and saw that everyone had taken their seats and was ready for class to begin. Heat rose to her cheeks and she nervously giggled, as she headed for her seat.

"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" A light yet happy voice was to be heard. She turned her head in the direction of where the voice was coming from and looked at the beautiful raven-haired girl who sat beside her.

"Ohayo Tomoyo-chan." As she took her seat, she heard a hoarse whisper in her left ear.

"So, what are you up to now Kinomoto?" She turned around and saw a handsome pair of amber-brown eyes, messy chestnut brown hair, and a cold stare. His cold glare gave her a slight wave of chills down her back.

"Nothing that concerns you, Syoaran Li. Now, go away." Calm but annoyed she turned away and listened to Terada talk about Math. The raven-haired maiden giggled at the sight of this and slightly hung over to whisper in her friend's ear.

" Seemed to me, he looked like he was actually worried about you Sakura", Sakura shot her a annoyed glance and Tomoyo back away and sat straight in her seat, trying to fight the giggles.

' Great, now SHE thinks that another boy likes me . what has this world gotten into? Why did Li say that to me? Well whatever the case might be, I still thinks he's a, a. loser. yeah, he's a loser.'

***Syoaran's thought's***

' Ha! Tomoyo thinks I could possibly like Kinomoto? What has gotten into her? All I wanted to see if Sakura could actually GIVE me a direct answer. for once. She's a mysterious, dense, ugly brat. How could SHE be every guy's dream girl? I swear she's so ugly and annoying .ha! What a loser.'

// Classes are mostly done, now its time for lunch! //

***Normal P.O.V.***

+++++ RINGGGGGG++++

"Yes! Lunch! C'mon you guys! Let's get the table in the back!!" Rika yelled.

"Yeah! I'll tell stories while your eating!!" Naoko said. Everyone cheered but Sakura froze in her tracks and became pale as a ghost.

"It's not G-Ghost S-Stories right?" She stuttered, clutching her pink lunchbox close to her chest.

"C'mon Sakura, I'll just tell you a spooky story without any ghosts." Naoko whispered to her.

"What's the difference? I'll just cover my ears." Sakura replied, still shivering.

"Hey, guys! We saved you people a seat. Now come! Before Yamazaki runs out of lies to tell!" Chiharu yelled. She waited down the hallway and ran back to the cafeteria.

Naoko, Sakura, Syoaran and Eriol sweat dropped. All three of them left, but Sakura stayed behind, looking straight into the doorway beside her. There was a light aura and Sakura stayed still if the aura got stronger. But in her surprise, there was nothing. The aura disappeared!

'Hmmm, could've sworn I felt something. Oh well, hey there's Tomoyo.'

"Tomoyo, are you coming?!" Sakura sweetly asked.

"Coming!" She yelled back, not looking up. She was busily searching for something in her bag.

"Ok, then, we'll save you a seat! Ja!" Sakura skipped down the hall and into the lunchroom. There in the back, were her friends waving and yelling, "Sakura! Hurry! We saved you a seat." Sakura sat down next to Eriol, opened her lunchbox and ate.

Eriol suddenly stopped eating, he sensed something and quickly said, " May you excuse me? I'm going to have to use the bathroom." They stared at him blankly and nodded. He rushed out of his seat, and ran into the hallway.

"But the bathroom is right there." Chiharu pointed left at the door that says "boys" and everyone sweat dropped. "What's going on?" Syoaran asked sternly.

He took a quick look at Sakura for any answers but she just stared blankly and shrugged. Syoaran couldn't help but sigh and continue eating. While munching on his sushi, he gave a thought to what was going on.

' This is really strange. First Tomoyo isn' t even here, at all and second, Eriol went the wrong way in search of the bathroom. I wonder if it's something that only Eriol can sense and not me, or Sakura.'

**Back in the Classroom**

Meanwhile, Tomoyo was busily searching for something, she a shadow over her. She stared at the shadow and gave it a confused look, turning around if anyone was there.

To her surprise, there was nobody there but her. She slightly shook her head and bent down, continuing her search.

Suddenly, Tomoyo's head jerked up and her eyes were wide. Her body ached while she winced in pain. Two manly hands clasped around her throat and she was choking. She couldn't breathe or do anything; she was going to die if she hadn't had a breath of air. But few seconds later, the hands relaxed a little bit and she finally had some air to breathe.

' You are not going to get away with this Tomoyo .and all you're friends are going to die.' The voice said, making her scream in terror.

***In the Hallway***

"Someone help me!" She screamed. Eriol heard her cry and stopped walking. He could tell that there was something going on. Something familiar to him, but couldn't quite put his finger on.

Once he heard her scream one more time he ran in to the entrance of the door, and looked around. He saw Tomoyo choking. But for Tomoyo, this was her second.

"What's the matter Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol panicked as he came closer and put a hand on her shoulder. Not being able to see her face or her hands clasped around her neck, only her hair was covering every little clue that would lead Eriol to his final answer.

"Sakura. help . give him the cards.." She stuttered, her hands still around her neck. To Eriol it sounded like she was afraid of this person, but who could it be? No one physically was around to choke her, but Eriol knew better. He knew that all this had to do with his past life, being Clow Reed.

"Um, Tomoyo?" He worriedly asked. He put his other hand on her shoulder and gave her a slight twirl. She was controlled. but what?

'Could it be of who I think is behind all this?' Eriol thought, narrowing his eyes in anger.

". Give. him. the cards.." She repeated.

Eriol's eyes widened. Her eyes turning black, and she was very, very pale. Not her usual skin tone color. She was like a ghost, no blood going through her head. She was dying..

"Tomoyo!" Eriol yelled. He grabbed her hands to pull away from her neck, but it was no use. He used his magic, but nothing worked.

He didn't want to loose Tomoyo, after all she was Sakura's best friend and he was very fond of her. Seeing Tomoyo being possessed made a slight pain in his heart. He tried everything, but nothing seemed to work.

He knew what he had to do. He came closer, wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and slightly brushed his lips against the cold purple lips, which in seconds were being melted away by his warmth.

Her eyes fluttered open and she looked down, Eriol had kissed her. She suddenly released her hands and pushed him away from shock and embarrassment. Coughing.

"Eriol." She looked into his deep sapphire blue eyes; in return he just smiled back at her. He came closer and put his hand on her shoulder, making her blush and jerk back a bit. But Eriol didn't blush at all; He was just relieved that she was ok.

'Did that kiss mean nothing to him?' She thought. She placed an index finger on her lips and remembered the thought of Eriol lips on hers.

'Warm, soft, and magical. Just the way Eriol is. Magical.' She sighed. She shook her head and gasped, 'what am I thinking? Eriol is my friend and he's. he's the Reincarnated Clow Reed. I'm not going to fall for an old magician that has died and ended up reincarnating himself in a hot British guy from England. That's totally NOT my style.'

" Tomoyo, do you know what happened a few seconds ago?" He looked straight into those violet colored eyes. She snapped out of her thoughts and blushed once more.

"Hai. It was really weird. I saw a person, a black figure; the figure suddenly was choking me. It felt like I was in a trance." She shivered, violently, holding her neck. Eriol came closer and wrapped her arms around her.

"It's going to be alright Tomoyo-chan. Do you remember what you were saying?" He whispered in her tiny ear. She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, smelling the wonderful scent of his cologne.

"No, I don't Eriol. But He hurt me-" she answered, clasping her hands around her bruised neck.

"He hurt you?! I didn't know he was hurting you that bad!! Let me give your neck a look, I might be able to heal it." Eriol exclaimed in shock. He slowly released Tomoyo's hand around her neck and gave a disgusted look.

There on Tomoyo's soft, pale neck was a big bruise mark, nothing like those bruises that we get. It was Dark purple, and blue; there was no green coloration. That meant that whoever has been choking her, has clogged her blood vessel.

He tried to touch it but backed away violently. In about a few seconds his head was throbbing. He winced in pain and tripped backwards-leading Tomoyo in shock, worry and panic. His eyes were getting heavy and Tomoyo's screaming was led to be distant and more faint. Finally, it was quite, but darkness had overcome him quickly leading him in a flashback.

***Eriol's Flashback***

"Clow Reed, For once I will Rule this world and become a better Clow card master than you! Mwuhahahahaha" a young boy cackled. Chocolate brown hair, piercing emerald eyes and a tanned face was what was to be described of this mysterious boy.

Hearing him say this to Clow Reed gave Clow the opportunity to smile ever so lovingly at him.

"You _think_ you can, but Tashi you are not ready for the world. This world is a dangerous world, lots of mysterious things going on and if you have not collected all the Clow cards, this world and you will be in great danger!" Tashi eyes changed from narrow to filled with shock and disappointment.

Clow turned around, smelled the clean fresh air and continued by saying, " But Yes, I'll agree with you that someday you will be the greatest Clow master in this world. After I have passed my time, you will be a great leader in Destiny Hikari, my dear Tashi. Don't you worry, the future here will be in good hands."

Suddenly, Clow walked into the distance of this garden and faded away. Leaving Tashi alone, thinking about his plan.

"You are right Clow Reed, but you know that there are more use to Evil with these Clow cards than good. The future, no my future will be in good hands. Mwhahahahaha." Tashi rubbed his hands together and chuckled, making every second a louder chuckle.

***End of Flashback***

Eriol's eyes slightly opened but he saw a blurry Tomoyo alongside to him.

" Oh my GOSH! ERIOL! ARE YOU OK?!?! YOU'RE NOT HURT RIGHT! ERIOL SPEAK TO ME!!!!" Tomoyo cried, tears started to well up and slide ever so gently on her beautiful face. He winced in pain a bit and whispered, "Tashi Moto, Tomoyo. He--" Eriol got cut off by his coughing.

"Eriol WHO IS TASHI MOTO!? WAS HE THE ONE THAT WAS CHOKING ME? ERIOL!!!" She cried once again. He fainted and Tomoyo knew it. Seconds later, she was kneeling on the floor with Eriol who passed out and her whole class in the door way shocked of what just happened.

"TOMOYO??" Sakura and Syaoran's voice was to be heard and she swiftly turned her head looking at Sakura and Syaoran expression. They were shocked; their eyes were so wide that it looked like they would be bulging out of their sockets.

"Hehe. No need to worry. Eriol just fainted. So, lunch is over now?"

End of chapter 2. Who is this Tashi Moto and WHY did Eriol pass out having a mysterious flashback? Why was tomoyo being choked? These questions will be answered in the up coming chapters. Review please and tell me what you thought. I love getting reviews so please give me lots of them.
