~* Story *~

"What the hell just happened?" Mei Lin asked looking at the spot where Syaoran was just standing. She looked up at everyone else who looked just as confused. Tomoyo who was clinging to Eriol's arm looked at her and shook her head.

"Did you feel that?" Kaleb asked stepping closer, he looked up to Kero.

"Yea I felt that, but what happened?" He leaned over to look at the piece of paper that had fallen to the floor after Syaoran had disappeared.

"I think it was some kind of teleport device or something." Kaleb answered picking up the paper carefully. When nothing happened he looked closer and read what was written on it. He handed it to Kero who read it aloud to the rest of the group.

"Some battles must be fought alone." Kero read. "Well what do we do now?"

"Wait." Kaleb said sitting down on the couch closest to him holding his head.

"Wait!" Mei Lin cried storming over to him. "You want us to sit around and wait! Why you. . ."

"Mei Lin!" Tomoyo said coming up to her and pulling her into a hug. "We have to trust them." She soothed. Ally walked over to them and joined the hug.

"I'm so worried." Ally murmured on the verge of tears. The whole thing finally taking a toll on her. She didn't know how much more she could stand. They just stood like that for a few minutes. Being comforted in each other's presence without saying a word.

"Sakura!" Syaoran whispered before bolting toward her only to be thrown back when he collided with an invisible force field.

"No, no, no," Dillon said shaking his head smirking, Ashley trying to hide her giggles. "Now who would have guessed that would happen?" He questioned placing his hand on his forehead so it appeared that he was I deep thought.

"I would! I would!" Ashley said laughing now, shaking her hand in the air like an eager child raising her hand to answer a question. She looked at Dillon who was grinning at her and kissed him on the lips.

"Now where were we?" He asked breaking the kiss and looking at Syaoran. Just then Sakura started to stir and tried getting up. Syaoran watched helplessly as she tried to get up only to fall back over.

"Let her go!" Syaoran demanded glaring at Dillon and Ashley. He got as close as he could to Sakura with out touching the barrier. The two only smirked.

"Now why would we do that?" Ashley asked walking toward Sakura. Syaoran following her every movement. She walked right through the force field that wouldn't allow him to pass, and stopped inches away from Sakura. "Let me ask you something Syaoran," She stated while bending down and picked Sakura up so she was in a sitting position. Sakura's eyes locked with Syaoran's and a feeling washed over both of them so great it was unexplainable. As they looked into each other's eyes so many feelings were felt. Wanting, one of the greatest. If they could only touch one another, Hold each other and never let go. Ashley watched the two and grew tired of the scene unfolding before her eyes. "What would you do to get her back?" she asked breaking their trance and the words echoed in Syaoran's mind.

"Is there any way to find out where they are?" Eriol asked sitting in the kitchen with the other guys. The girls had all gone into Sakura's room and hadn't come out.

"There's no telling where they are." Kaleb said calmly looking into the glass he was holding. "They may not even be in this dimension." He added taking the final sip of his drink.

"He's right." Kero said sadly. "All my links are gone. There is no way of tracking her. . ." he stopped in the middle of his sentence as an idea popped into his head.

"Hello?" Chris said snapping his fingers in front of Kero's face. He sat back in his chair as Kero shook his head.

"I think there might be a way to find them." He said getting up and walking out of the kitchen. The other guys looked at each other and followed.

"Where are you going?" Eriol asked as Kero opened the door.

"To see someone who might be able to help us." He said and with that he turned and took a step but instead of walking out the door he vanished.

"I hate when he does that!" Eriol complained crossing his arms over his chest. Kaleb and Chris just shook their heads and turned to go back to the kitchen where their drinks were waiting.

"I can't believe all this is happening!" Tomoyo cried tears rolling down her cheeks. The three girls were sitting on Sakura's bed in a tight circle. They had come I there to think, to talk, and to miss their friend, their sister, their angel.

"I hope she's ok." Ally said whipping her own tears away. She had only know Sakura a short time but felt connected to her. After she had left Hong Kong they had stayed in touch, and had become close friends.

Mei Lin just sat there, not saying anything. Tears would continuously stream down her face but she wouldn't say a word. She had a far off look in her eyes and Tomoyo and Ally just left her alone. Everyone had their own way of missing someone and that was hers. In Mei Lin's head she keep kicking herself saying if she only had done something different then this wouldn't have happen. Thoughts of Sakura ran through her head. The time when she won her first race. Times when they were all out clubbing. Millions of memories flooded her mind leaving her paralyzed to the rest of the world.

~Kero~

Kero came to a stop in front of an elegant house in the upper side of Haven. 'Kinomoto Residence' was written on an engraved sign that hung on the door. He reached down and rung the doorbell. Sounds could be heard from inside so he waited. The door swung open to relive an older woman with long black hair, and light green eyes that resembled Sakura's.

"Can I help you?" She asked looking Kero up and down trying to decide if she had ever met him before.

"Yes, My name is Kero and I'd like to ask you for some assistance involving your daughter." He replied politely. Recognition dawned on her and anger flashed in her eyes.

"You're the guy that was at the meeting!" She cried out. "You're the guardian who failed to protect my baby!" She attempted to slam the door in his face but his hand caught the door before it could close.

"Please hear me out." He pleaded with her. "I think you can help in figuring out where she is." The door opened again. She looked deep into his eyes and saw that he meant what he said.

"How can I help?" She asked gesturing for him to come in and then closing the door behind him.

~Stadium~

"What do you mean?" Syaoran asked looking Ashley directly in the eye.

"I mean what would you be willing to do in order for us to set the little angel free?" She said with an evil smile. She shook Sakura toward Syaoran, "How much do you really care about her?"

Syaoran stood there thinking it over. Was this a trap or something. What was he willing to do for Sakura. In all the things he was feeling at the moment there was one thing for sure. "I'll do anything." He stated glaring at Ashley with her sickly sweet smile and then at Dillon with his evil smirk. Some was telling him that they had counted on him saying that.
