Chapter Eleven: Death Revealed
"Do you really think its here?" Sakura asked again, unsure of where they were heading. She was running alongside Syaoran, both were panting, as they felt the aura luring them in.
"We'll have to keep going to see." Syaoran answered bluntly, his eyes was focused on the target itself rather than the person running beside him.
They had both resumed their quest of find the aura. This was a lot different than all the other encounters that Sakura had stumbled upon. The aura seemed to be sensed by both of them, it didn't appear right way like all the other times. It was like its main intent was to lead them somewhere.
'I have a very bad feeling about this.' Sakura thought in her mind, nothing that was presented to her in this situation seemed to put her at ease. But still, she wanted to stay by Syaoran's side and pushed all the uneasy feelings aside. Even if they were still boiling through her veins.
The walls that were confining them to that one route were pale grey bricks, one after the other, they all looked identical. Sakura watched as each brick passes by, it was like as if she wasn't moving at all.
"It's here." Syaoran announced, stopping at a pale blue door. The door seemed odd to Sakura, how it just showed up on the long line of empty grey, who knew what was on the other side of that door.
Syaoran was right. Sakura could sense the aura, it was definitely stronger, calling out to them like a homeing becon.
Syaoran's hand gripped onto the door handle and twisted it open. Both of them stared into a room filled with complete darkness, it seemed like nothing could pentrate through the dark. "I'll go in first." Syaoran announced, and slipped into the darkness.
Sakura followed in right after him, her eyes blinded by the black, "Syaoran, where did you go?"
She jumped when she heard a loud lashing sound and then felt a tight grip around her ankles. Just like a natural reflex, she immediately called on her staff. "Light!" she commanded when all her staff and cards were at hand. She caught a glimpse of a huge tree monster, vines where swaying everywhere and Syaoran, who was lying unconscious on the ground, when she felt her eyes becoming extremely heavy and drifted off to unconsciousness.

"Is everything ready?" Eriol asked again, for the fifth time that day. The pressure was weighing in on him as he prepared for tonights festivities. After weeks of planning and worrying, it came down today, he wanted it to be perfect. He had woken up extremely early, the sun had just risen and the birds had just awoken from their slumber, where the rest of the town was still in deep sleep. The first thing he noticed was the calendar that hung on his wall, on it was a large red circle reminding him that today was April first. In the small box were letters that was scrawled out in his writing was Sakura's birthday.
"We still have all afternoon to prepare Eriol." Tomoyo reminded him. She wanted to kick herself a million times, since she was the one that was behind the planning for Sakura's and Eriol's special evening. She had to fall for Eriol's irresistable charm and go along with the plan. 'It's like helping myself break my own heart.' Tomoyo thought glumly. But she had to push away any feelings she had for the dark blue haired boy she had fallen deeply in love with, and let the day unfold. As some say, the show must go on. She knew that after today, her and Eriol wouldn't be making much contact, for he would be too tied up in his own life to stop and talk to her. She was person that loved him with all her heart, unfortunately he was just too dense to see it.
Eriol took in a deep breath, "I can't help but to get nervous, I keep getting this bad feeling."
Tomoyo placed a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sure its just all the nervousness and stress thats getting to you." she reassured him. "Everything will work out. Don't worry."
Eriol stared into Tomoyo's eyes, "I want to thank you, Tomoyo, for everything you've done for me. You didn't have to do any of this, but I'm glad you did."
Tomoyo smiled a bit, turning away and letting the sadness wash throughout her soul, "Come on, let's get everything outside."
'I only did it because I love you.' Tomoyo added in her mind, all that counted now was that he was happy. Even if it wasn't with her.

The delicate music box that was bought weeks before, still sat in the same spot that the buyer had put it at before. Everyday, as the days became closer, it glowed, each day the glow became that much more immense. Today it was glowing its brightest, like there was no tomorrow.
~*~
"Sakura?"
Sakura's eyes slowly drew open, a blurry figure was the first thing she had seen, her vision began to clear up as her emerald orbs blinked rapidly. She held her head and groaned. "What happened?" Sakura's mind was a complete blank, the only thing she saw was the vine monster on the ground and the unconscious Syaoran on the ground. After that, there was nothing.
Syaoran smiled, his face was scratched, as was his arms, and his hair was scrambled into a mess. "I'm so glad your okay..."
"What happened?" Sakura asked again, trying to run back into her memory. Still nothing.
"Well, we were attacked, I think you suddenly became unconscious and I fought the monster by myself. I brought you back home after that." Syaoran let the whole story pour out, his eyes never leaving Sakura's.
The bodies both seem to lean closer to one another, it was like a supernatural force that was pulling them together. They both stared into each others eyes, the window to their mind and soul. It was a moment that Syaoran wanted to last forever.
"What time is it?" Sakura suddenly asked, right out of the blue. Her cheeks were burning, their lips were so close, she could almost feel it. 'It's wrong.' she thought.
"It's almost five." Syaoran smiled meekly. He wanted to let out all the frustration that was in him, he wanted to just blurt out all the feelings that he still had for her. But there were so many things that were still in the way.
Sakura's eyes widen, "I have to get ready! I promised Eriol that I would meet him today!"
Syaoran tried to mask his disappointment, a slight frown had touched his lips. He sat still on the bed as he watched Sakura race in and out of the bathroom, fully changed and ready for her date with Eriol.
"I'll talk to you later, Syaoran!" Sakura smiled, and shut the door after her.
Syaoran gave her a slight wave, one that she didn't even see, since she was already rocketing through that door. As soon as she was gone, he fell back onto the couch and let out a long sigh. He turned to the blank television screen that was across from the couch.
"Don't tell me you forgot that it's Sakura birthday." Touya's voice towered over him.
For the first time that day, Syaoran's eyes shot wide open. Every single day everything was cloudy, from the lack of sleep he had been getting. "What? Really?" Syaoran asked with disbelief.
"What you don't believe me?" Touya glared.
"I have to go get her a present..." Syaoran muttered, "I can't believe I forgot." He had the tendency to forget the days, everyday seemed the same, long and painful. 'Sakura must of forgotten too..' he thought in his mind, noticing that there were no indications from her of today's special event.
'But don't worry, Sakura...' he thought as he shut the door behind him, 'I'll get you a birthday present that you'll never forget.'
~*~
"There, everything's in place." Eriol announced as he placed the music box onto the ground. It was a beautiful setting, a small picnic was set up in his backyard, cherry blossoms were everywhere. Eriol had cast a spell on his backyard, which allowed all the flowers to be in full bloom. "I hope so.."
"Everything's perfect, Eriol." Tomoyo reasurred him. She could sense the nervousness coming out of him, every fibre in his being seemed to be shaking. Yet, he seemed perfectly calm.
"She's coming any second now." Eriol told her, glancing at his wrist watch.
"I should probably get into the mansion then." Tomoyo forced a smile.
"Thanks again for everything."
"Eriol, you're going to make Sakura be really happy. I'm glad your both really happy." Tomoyo told him, on the verge of tears, she gave and slight nod and walked as fast as she could back into the mansion.
The weirdest sensation jolted through Eriol's body, it was almost as if it was calling out to Tomoyo. Deep down inside, he didn't want to let her go. He twiddled his thumbs and scanned through everything, making sure that everything was perfect.
Just then he saw a figure come towards him, he knew who it was almost immediately. His heart skipped a beat, and his palms became extremely sweaty. Sakura. "Suprise!" he blurted out.
Sakura looked dumbfounded, "What's the occasion?"
"Your birthday. silly!" Eriol grinned, he wrapped his arms around her and felt the warmth. Inside he could feel his deepest emotions pushing his mind somewhere else. The amethyst eyes that looked into him time after time, that made him feel like a pile of mush. He shook his head vigourously, 'Your hallucinating again.' he thought, he looked at Sakura and smiled, who smiled right back. "Well let's sit down." he gestured at the picnic.
"I forgot that it was my birthday! I guess it's because Syaoran and I have been so caught up on this aura thing, I haven't really thought of anything." Sakura babbled on. Eriol pushed aside the feeling that bursted inside of him when he noticed the sparkle that glistened as the name Syaoran was mentioned.
Their small party had gotten well under way, they started to dig into the cake and chatter about what had happened over the view days. The music box still sat in the corner, unseen to Sakura, since it was hidden behind a bush. But it was glowing brightly, if it was dark it could easily light up the sky.
Sakura brought the glass to her lips and stopped and Eriol, who was cutting another piece of cake had also stopped, they both perked up.
"Do you feel something?" Sakura asked cautiously.
Eriol nodded.
"It's the same aura I've felt for the last few days." she informed him.
"It's up there! In the tree!" Eriol pointed up, sensing a powerful aura in the tree. He couldn't see anything, but something was definitely there. "We know you're here. Reveal yourself!"
Sakura squinted to see what was in the tree, all she could see was a large black aura that was surrounding the plant. A figure suddenly appeared, the person that appeared dropped both her's and Eriol's jaws. There standing was the chestnut haired and fiery amber eyed boy that she knew all too well. Who she thought she knew.
"Happy birthday, Sakura." Syaoran grinned.
