Sakura sighed when she felt Tommy's breath against her neck. He had been acting this way all day, ever since the night before. They had been horse riding again, also with Syaoran and Josiane.

She and Tommy were on a horse together, and so were Josiane and Syaoran. This time however, the eyes were on her.

"Tommy... stop it," Sakura whispered under her breath, whilst trying to push him away from herself. She looked nervously at the couple beside them, hoping they weren't looking at her.

Syaoran growled at the scene next to him.

"Damn her," he cursed, using Josiane to take his attention from her.

He nodded towards Tommy signalling that he and Josiane were going to go off onto a different direction, as he steered the horse, behind a row of trees.

Josiane smiled to herself, when she saw where they were going, he wanted to go somewhere private.

"Is there something you want?" she asked him, as he lifted her off the horse.

Sakura paced frantically back and forth in her room, hours had past since they had finished horse riding, and Syaoran and Josiane hadn't come back yet. Tommy was in his own room, doing something or rather that she didn't really care about.

Sakura breathed in and out heavily, she had a right to be worried about them, they were guests in her house after all, and it was right she would be worried about her guests.

But that was ridiculous; they should be back by now, even if… argh- she didn't want to even think about that. Sakura sat down on a chair beside her table.

Maybe… Maybe they were back already, and she didn't hear them come in. Maybe that was the reason, Josiane had been here often enough, and it was possible…

Sakura stood up; she was going to check if he had come back. Sakura made her way to the room next to hers, as she knocked on the door, waiting for a reply.

None came. He probably didn't hear her, Sakura thought, as she turned the handle, to let herself in. He hadn't locked it.

Sakura looked around his room, he wasn't there. He hadn't done much to change the room, she noted to herself, there were just his belongings scattered across the room.

She closed the door behind her as she leaned back against it. Only to have it opened moments later from behind her.

"What are you doing in here?"

Sakura quickly spun around to see the person she was looking for enter, as he closed the door behind him.

"I..." she stammered for words, "I was just worried... I mean I was just wondering where you and Josiane were, because it was getting, you know pretty late, and …" Sakura trailed off.

"Yeah, well we're both safe, she told me to tell you that she's left,"

"Left?" Sakura repeated after him.

"Yeah, well I guess she had no reason to stay anymore,"

"What do you mean by that?" Sakura was confused, of course she had a reason to stay, Josiane and Syaoran were engaged and they naturally wanted to spend time together. Naturally. Sakura sighed; she couldn't have said the same for her and Tommy's relationship.

"We broke it off," he casually told her, as he sat down on the nearest sofa. Sakura stood stunned, making no attempt to conceal her surprise.

"You what?"

"We broke up," Syaoran repeated.

"Why?" Sakura couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you care?" he snapped back at her.

"Ohh, I get it, you got sick of her too did you? You know what; you never told me how it went, with what's her name… Ashani." Sakura bit back at him, she had had enough, she was getting tired of it always being her fault, nothing ever went her way. "Fucked her too I suppose, got sick of her and then dumped her. Did you even get married to her?"

"What the hell are you talking about? I never fucked her okay, either of them."

"Don't play games with me, don't play I've had enough with you changing your mind." Sakura retorted, as she made her way to the door, only to feel his hand grab a hold of her wrist, stopping her.

Sakura turned back around to face him, he was standing now, and had still not taken his hand off her wrist.

"Let me go,"

"No, I let you go once already.."

"You let me go?" Sakura interrupted him, she was angry… mad at the way he had phrased it. "You know what, yeah I suppose you did."

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Sakura? You aren't making any fucking sense"

"I'm not making any sense now am I? You know I'm so tired of all your games, what the hell are you playing at? I'm not gonna fall for anymore of your lies" Sakura retorted back, she was sick, sick of him deceiving her all the time, making her believe things, and throwing it all back in her face. No, he didn't even do that, she had to hear it from other people.

"You listen to me; I have never lied to you," Syaoran replied, still holding onto her, he wasn't going to let her go. Not until she understood.

"You know, you could've at least told me that you were going to dump me. But making Yue do it instead…"

"What?" Syaoran stood back from her; finally letting her hold of her slip, but Sakura remained where she was standing.

Past scenes flashed through his head, as he put the pieces together.

"Yue and Ashani…"

"What?" Sakura stared at him mumbling something to himself.

"Yue was lying to you; he made the whole thing up so he could get a hand on your money,"

"What?" Sakura repeated again, backing away from him.

"Sakura, you have to listen to me, he lied to me too, he told me that you bribed one of my men to take you."

Sakura stood speechless for a moment, before she spoke again

"You know, I want so much to believe you," she replied, biting her lip, trying to stop the tears that were forming. "Did you write this?" she continued, as she pulled a piece of paper out from her pocket. It was the letter Yue had given her.

Syaoran looked at the letter he had been given, reading it through once.

"I didn't write this," The handwriting wasn't even his own, but she had never seen his writing so she would've known.

"Oh god…" she couldn't believe this was happening, "do you still have?" Sakura gestured to her neck.

Syaoran nodded as he opened the draw next to him, bringing out the emerald necklace he had given her.

"I'm sorry, I was so angry with you…" she got cut off, as she got lost in his embrace. They both couldn't control themselves, now that they knew the truth. Sakura moaned as he broke away from her, still clinging onto his shirt.

"Sakura?"

Sakura and Syaoran both turned, to see a startled Tommy standing in the doorway.

"Tommy, I…" Sakura trailed off.

"I knew it!" Tommy replied angrily as he stormed off.

"Wait!" Sakura called out after him, as she ran over to him, walking down the corridor.

Tommy stopped, turning around to face her, as he saw Syaoran running from behind her.

"I knew it, I knew it," he repeated over and over, "you were fucking him the whole time weren't you, just couldn't stay away! You were fucking him the whole time!"

"No I didn't, Tommy listen to me, I'm sorry,"

"No…" Tommy interrupted her, as he pulled a gun out from behind him.

"What are you doing?!" Sakura started backing away, when Syaoran appeared next to her.

"I would never hurt you Sakura; I never have and never will, but him…" Tommy pointed the gun to the person standing next to her.

"No!! don't…" Sakura screamed out, as she saw him pulling the trigger, using herself to push Syaoran out of the way.

"Sakura!" Syaoran shouted as he saw her start to fall down, catching her before she hit the ground. The bullet had hit her, blood was starting to flow out.

Everything started going black, as a second shot echoed through the corridor.
