Hiya!! I really missed writing, [I know I suck at it, but I really like it] if you bothered enough to get all the way through this chappie let me tell you this is the last one... Ok I reconsidered that, it is not. If you wanna know, this chapter focuses more on Eriol and Tomoyo. Well now, don't believe me and go see for yourself!

7. Lost

Another hour had already passed by. Eriol was getting deeper and deeper into the woods when suddenly he heard a sob. He followed the sound and there he found a girl with dark hair sitting on the floor with her arms on top of her knees and her head between her arms.

"Hey, are you ok? Are you hurt?" –he kneeled down and put his hand on her shoulder.

"I can't find it... I lost it" –she said still sobbing.

"You lost what Tomoyo?" –he asked with true concert in his voice.

"My necklace, it is very precious to me and I can't find it" –she finally pulled her head up –"I've been searching for hours and tried to get back to the camp but couldn't find the way. I lost it and got myself lost at the same time"

He helped her to stand up and realized she had been crying for a while, her eyes were red and her arms were wet from her tears. How come she can cry so much over a necklace? Was the question spinning around in his mind. He helped her to dry her tears.

"C'mon, we have to go back and tell the others you're ok" –he lightly pulled her arm.

"No... Please... I have to find it" –she said bursting once again into tears. His heart was breaking from seeing her like this, she seemed so frail...

"We can look for it in the morning Tomoyo, don't cry" –he tried to comfort her, but he wasn't doing any good. She sat back and recovered her earlier position.

"My dad gave it to me before he left..." –her voice was almost a whisper.

"Sorry, I didn't know he had left you"

"He gave it to me before he left on a trip. His plane crashed down..." –now he understood. He kneeled again and hugged her –"Don't worry, we'll find it"

At the end he understood how she felt and why was her necklace so important to her, so the were both looking for it, even though he kept saying that the others would be worried she only replied that he could go ahead and tell them if he wanted to. But of course that didn't happen, what if she got lost again? And besides he promised her that he would find her necklace.

Meanwhile Sakura, Syaoran, Mamoru and Shigeru made their way back to the camp, along with their companions, their distribution in pairs of course was planned. Syaoran and Yamazaki, Mamoru and Rika, Shigeru and Meiling, Sakura and Chiharu, Eriol and Naoko, but she had gone back to the camp just in case Tomoyo came back. For a very well-founded reason the four of them felt she was ok and that they could go back and wait for her at the camp. They weren't worried anymore, they knew she wasn't alone.

The other two teenagers are still looking for the girl's necklace, Tomoyo's white dress es covered in dirt, and her arms and legs have some scratches. Eriol's not that messy yet, but he has a few scratches from the branches too. Unfortunately they both used the same strategy in this game, what means that it can be in any of all the places she hid or in the path she took between one hide-out and the next one.

"It was somewhere around here were I hid in a tree hole..." –she started walking absent-minded, when she heard something just behind bushes.

The raven haired girl tried to get closer but suddenly the floor had an end, there was a precipice in the middle of the woods, she began to fell , everything seemed so slow, like paused, out of nowhere, Eriol threw himself after her and she could feel him protecting her with his arms, but the floor was now very close. Just for a moment she saw him pointing his hand to the floor followed by a light, then she felt unconscious.

When she opened her eyes the only thing she kept in mind was a very intense light. Still confused she sat down and looked to the left, there was a path there, tall walls to both sides, then she looked at the right, the same path, but there was also a boy there.

"He jumped after me... The light... Did he caused that?"

"You're awake now, are you hurt?" –he was doing something with his hand, he was tying something around his right wrist.

"What happened?" –she asked crawling closer to him.

"We fell from up there" –his left hand pointed to the sky.

"Your hand... You're hurt... I'm sorry I made you stay to look for my necklace..." –her eyes were wet once again –"And then I walked carelessly around the trees and fell and now you're hurt and it's my fault, I'm sorry, I should have listen to you... I'm sorry"

"Hey, hey, it's ok, it's not big deal, it was just a scratch, please don't say it was your fault, it wasn't" –he acted like if she was a small kid, actually in this situation she was acting like a small kid.

"Eriol... What was that light?"

"What light?" –he asked nervously –"I thought she was already unconscious when I did that..."

"The light that came out of your hand just before we hit the ground" –Tomoyo was getting confused. Had she imagined that? No, she could see the boy's reaction.

"Huh? I think you hit your head when we were falling Tomoyo" –he grabbed her chin in a funny way and turned her head left and right to 'check' if she had an injury.

The amethyst eyed girl decided to let it pass, and then she remembered why she fell in the first place, they were looking for her necklace. She bit her lower lip as new tears were falling from her eyes. First she lost it, then she got herself lost, finally Eriol found her, she fell from a precipice and he jumped after her, he got hurt and they didn't even find her necklace. Her hands on her lap, her head down, her shoulder shaking, and tears falling as she felt guilty for getting him hurt.

"Hey, look what I found" –he took something out of his pocket then, just like the first time, he took her hand and placed his own left one on top of hers opening it to reveal something. It was her necklace –"It was inside a tree hole"

She was speechless. Not knowing what to say as she held it in her hand. Looking at him directly in the eye with a still sad, but surprised expression.

"I'm sorry... I mean thank you for staying with me, and finding my necklace, and I'm really sorry that you got hurt"

"I think I could forgive you if you smile for me" –he said half-joking.
