Ch 5: The Play: Pt 2 Coping with change

A/N: Uhm....err....ah whatever...

~~~~~~~~~~Story begins~~~~~~~~~~

Tomoyo shook her head and backed up until she reached the couch and slowly fell into it. The others just kept staring at the two on the floor.

"How...I mean...there not..." Sakura tried but was at a lost for words.

"How did they.....He's here...and...so is he..." Nakuru added looking to Eriol for some help, but he was too deep in thought to help.

Li shook his head and looked to Touya. "Should we....pick him up?"

"Ofcorse you should, this floor isn't very comfortable." Yue growled shifting to sit up still holding Yukito in his arms.

He looked down at him and after satisfying himself that he wasn't harmed he looked to his own arm. Touya reached forward and picked up Yukito allowing Li to help Yue to his feet.

After Yue got bandaged they all sat back down to think on the situation. No one really had any idea how any of this could have happened, and Eriol had yet to join the outside world so he was no help to them.

"I'm guessing everyone felt the same magic that we felt when we first came here right?" When Sakura received various nods, even from the dazed Eriol she continued looking to Yue. "Did you feel anything different? Did you do or hear anything?"

He bowed his head in thought before looking up. "Music...I heard music, like the kind you'd hear in Ballets."

Sakura blinked. "Ballets?"

Kero shook his head. "I'm surprised Yue even knows what a Ballet -is-."

"Hai. I know it sounds odd, but that was what I heard before I could see myself in the mirror." Yue replied ignoring Kero.

"So when Yuki went to the bathroom-"

"No...I could see myself before then, when he went to the ice-cream vendor with Touya-san, and when he was walking away I could see my shadow, the wings and everything. So I suppose I was a little more prepared for our...ahem...'Bathroom Meeting' if you will."

Sakura nodded sitting down next to Tomoyo who had been quiet during the whole ordeal.

"Tomoyo-chan?"

"...Aa?"

"What were you looking at....when the earthquake came?"

Tomoyo bowed her head before looking at Sakura through her veil of hair.

"I....didn't see the wall..."

"...What?"

She bowed her head before leaning back on the couch laying her head on the back of it eyes closed as she spoke again.

"I couldn't see any of you anymore....I could see....this man...in a chair. And he was holding this....crystal ball thing....He didn't seem to see me so I went closer....I could see.....us in the ball....but we were...dancing....like Ballerina's...."

She shook her head. "He was saying something I couldn't hear so I leaned closer and....he kissed my cheek and he said....he said..."

By now she had gotten everyone's attention, Sakura seeing that no one else was going to ask, leaned forward.

"Said what....What did he say Tomoyo?"

Tomoyo turned looking directly at her, tears rolling down her cheeks. Her eyes were wide and frightened when she spoke again.

"....'Your going to die'....And you know what?....I...I believe him..." Her hands flew up to cover her mouth. "Oh kami....I'm...I'm really going to die!!"

Sakura shook her head wrapping Tomoyo in a hug. "No your not! I won't let it happen, none of us will!"

Tomoyo broke away and looked hard at her. "You knew.....you knew and you didn't tell me!" She accused standing from the couch.

Her eyes then roamed around the room looking at everyone. "All of you knew....and you kept this from me!? Why!!? Didn't I have the right to know!?"

Eriol stood up. "That's not it at all Tomoyo. We didn't want to worry you."

"Well it's a tad bit too late don't you think!?"

"We were only looking out for your best interest."

"Don't you think I would like to have known this!?" She shook her head taking a step back. "Your all always keeping things from me! Like I'm some child you need to look after!"

She was glaring now shaking her head slowly. "I've practically raised myself I don't need you to protect me all the time!!"

"It's not like that!" Nakuru cried standing as well. "We just don't want you hurt-"

"It's the same damn thing!!" She shouted closing her eyes tightly, almost immediately her hands flew to her mouth in shock.

"Oh...I....I'm so sorry I..." She shook her head closing her eyes again. "I didn't mean it, I'm sorry, I just...."

She shook her head again before turning. "I just need to think about this." She replied walking out the living room and out the house.

Sakura moved to follow but Touya stopped her. "Leave her for now." He glanced at Yukito and Yue. "We have to deal with this first."

"But-" She started still looking at the door. "She can handle herself for awhile." Looking torn Sakura nodded in agreement.

A/N: This chapter is small for a reason next chapter will be longer, I promise! ^_~
