Chapter 11

"Sakura! Sakura!" He screamed. He was down the street at the corner under a light. "Damn." He said. (A/N I don't think that normally he would say that but I just felt like making him say that. lol.) He was wiping his sweat with his arm. He had run to all the places he thought she could have been. He didn't find her anywhere. He was seriously starting to worry about her. He had no clue where she could have gone. Maybe her so-called ghost had taken her away. If that was true, he had to notify Kero, Yue, Tomoyo, and Meilin. Since he was closest to the Tomoyo's he would start there.

"Uhn." Sakura moaned. She opened her eyes and found herself in a dark place again. That same dark place. She heard slow dripping of water against the floor. She didn't have a headache this time. She sat up. Again she heard a noise to the left of her and quickly looked that way. The same person appeared in front of her.

"Where am I?" She asked.

"You? You're in my lair. In another world." The person snickered their awful snicker.

"Another world?" 'Am I in my home world this time?' She thought to herself.

"Yes, you are here so I can kill you. help these days are just plain pathetic, don't you agree?" The person yet again grabbed her throat and tried to strangle her. She winced from the pain. She knew this time that she was dying.

She screamed her dying scream, "Li!!!!" He skin was heating up, she was crying from the pain. This time the scene didn't fade away. She was losing consciousness but she fought to stay awake. She didn't succeed. Her eyes started rolling in the back of her head. A second later, the person let go and she heard another person speaking. She was so dazed she couldn't make out who it was. She barely even heard what they were saying. She didn't remember anything after that.

"Sakura? What is wrong?" A person asked her. She opened her eyes to find herself in Meilin's room. Meilin was at her left side.

"M-Meilin?" She asked. 'That's right, they live in the same house don't they.' Sakura tried to sit up.

"Take it easy. You were sweating in your sleep and everything and I think you have a fever. Meilin said touching her forehead.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine. Where's Li?" She thought of something else. "Where's the ghost?!" She said frightened.

"Ghost?" Meilin asked. Sakura nodded. Meilin thought back and then remembered. "Oh! Sakura. That was me!" She said. "Yeah sorry about that. I was trying to scare Li but you were in his room instead of him so I decided to scare you. I guess it worked 'cause you sort of fell out the window." Meilin rubbed her head smiling. "Are you okay from that fall?" She asked worried.

"Yeah I'm fine, but we got to find Li." Sakura said. She paused. "Wait a second, that ghost was you?" She asked. Meilin nodded. "Then did you make that crashing sound too?" She asked.

"Crashing sound?" She asked confused.

"You didn't hear that crashing sound?" Sakura asked.

"You know me. When I'm asleep, I'm asleep. I can sleep through almost anything." Meilin said sounding proud.

"Well that means that you couldn't have brought me in your room either!" She exclaimed.

"I didn't bring you in my room. Somehow you were just lying right there when I woke up to go to the bathroom." Meilin said. "You mean, you didn't place yourself there or something?" She asked starting to get freaked out.

"No, I didn't. I was dragged away from Li. We were looking for you, the ghost I should say, and or someone who made that crashing sound we heard." Sakura looked around for a clock but didn't find one. "Do you know what time it is?" She asked. Meilin looked at her watch.

"Its 8:37. Its not as dark as it should be outside though." Meilin noticed.

Sakura looked out the window. "Yeah you're right." Sakura stood up.

"Where are you going?" Meilin asked from the ground.

"I've got to find Li! But first I got to go to Tomoyo's. Are you coming with me?" She asked.

Meilin stood up and nodded. Meilin changed into her fighting outfit and they ran out the house locking it behind them.

"Sakura is gone?!" Kero yelled. Li nodded sadly. "Well where did she go?!" Kero yelled.

"I don't know. I looked under my bed for a second and looked back up to where she was and she was gone." Li said.

"Well if she disappeared in the house, wouldn't she still be there?" Tomoyo asked. Kero had come to stay at Tomoyo's with Sakura.

"I searched the whole house top to bottom but I couldn't find her anywhere." Li said.

"Well she has to be somewhere!" Kero said.

"I've looked almost everywhere but I haven't found her yet." Li said.

"Well what should we do?" Tomoyo asked.

"I think that we should all split up to find her but we got to notify the others. We'll all keep in touch with our phones."

There was a knock at the door. One of Tomoyo's maids opened the door. Sakura came bursting through the door.

"Is Tomoyo home?!" Sakura asked frantically.

"Sakura?" Tomoyo said surprised. Sakura was the last person Tomoyo had expected to see.

"Tomoyo!" Sakura took her shoes off and ran in. Meilin followed her.

"Sakura, what are you doing here? I thought you were missing!" Tomoyo said giving her friend a big hug.

"I went missing? Sakura asked confused.

"Obviously not." Kero said. Li looked at her amazed.

"Where did you come from?!" Li asked.

"Your house!" She said. "I was going to go look for you but I had to come here and tell Tomoyo first. Where did you come from?!"

"My house looking for you and then I came here to tell her that I couldn't find you!"

"Well isn't this an interesting conversation. Can you get on with the details please?" Meilin said.

"Oh! Sure!" Sakura explained everything to Li and Li explained everything to Sakura.

"Our stories don't fit." Li said.

"How so?" Sakura asked.

"I went looking for you in every room, even Meilin's. I didn't see you anywhere!" Li said.

"He's right Sakura. I didn't even know you were in my room until I woke up to use the bathroom. That was a little after he came in my room I think."

"Yeah it was because I heard you go out of your room to go use the bathroom." Li said.

"But that doesn't make sense." Tomoyo said. "If she was found in there after you left Meilin's room, why wasn't she found in there before?" She asked.

Sakura and Li gasped and then looked at each other. "Do you think that-?" Sakura said.

"I think you're right." Meilin finally caught on.

"There's someone in our house?!" She yelled.

"Obviously. But who could be that sneaky?" Li asked.

"You could." Meilin pointed out.

"I could? But I didn't do it." Li said.

"But there is a Li that might've." Tomoyo said.

Tomoyo and Li looked at Sakura.

"You don't think that it was him do you?" She asked.

"Who else could be as sneaky as Li except Li?"

"It can't be! Why would he do such a thing?! Why would he save me if I wanted me dead?!" She asked.

"To get you to trust him." Kero said.

"But if it's the future Li, then he wouldn't do this to me!" Sakura said.

"Unless, something happened between us..." Li started.

"That would make us hate each other..." Sakura continued.

"Thus making him get revenge on you..." Kero concluded.

"And making you the innocent victim." Tomoyo finished.

"But why would Li ever do that?!" Meilin said. Everyone looked at her. "I should know! I know Li better than anyone else. As much as I don't want to say it, he said he loved Sakura which means, no matter what, he will love her!" Meilin finished. "Its impossible for him to come back in time to just do this! He would never even think about doing it!" Meilin exclaimed.

"She's right!" Sakura said. "For some reason, no matter what, even if he isn't Li right here, he is Li and Li wouldn't do a thing like that!"

A light burst out of Sakura. (A/N all the screaming that you will read in this next part can not be heard because Tomoyo's room and her whole house has sound proof walls.)

"Sakura! What's going on?!" Li asked.

"I don't know!"

"Stop it! My eyes are burning!" Meilin yelled.

The light swirled around everyone and Kero was frozen.

"I'm glad you believe in me princess." The older Li said bowing.

"So do you know who is after me?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, in fact, that person is in this room right now."

"What?!" Everyone but Kero and Meilin yelled.
