"Tomoyo!" Sakura yelled trying to go to her friend's rescue but Syaoran held her back. Tomoyo squealed as James pushed the gun against her chest. That's when he noticed that it wasn't a gun she had put against his head but a screwdriver.
"Oh aren't you a daring one?!" James yelled as he looked at Sakura's tiny form being hugged by Syaoran and frowned. He did the first thing his mind thought of: that was to grab Tomoyo and run! He would make Sakura regret not wanting him! She would have to pay!
"Ahh!" yelled Tomoyo as she tripped over a rock and fell but James pulled her hand and forced her to get up and continue running deeper into the forest.
"Tomoyo!" Eriol yelled as he tried to follow them. His gun in his hand with Syaoran and Sakura on his tail, he ran after them. He didn't want to risk hurting Tomoyo so he couldn't use his gun in the dark forest.
"Tomoyo hold on!" Sakura shrieked as she tried to keep up with the guys. Her best friend had just saved her from being kidnapped by her psycho ex-boyfriend and now she had been kidnapped instead. "Oh it should've been me!" she exclaimed.
Syaoran turned around and looked at her. "It shouldn't have been anyone!" He grabbed her hand and ran faster trying to catch up with Eriol.
Eriol came to a stop just as the jungle came to a clearing. There stood James with a gun pointed at Tomoyo. They were right up against a cliff. They had nowhere to go. "If you come any closer I'll kill her."
Sakura and Syaoran appeared into the clearing behind Eriol, breathless. Sakura saw her best friend and tried to run to her but Syaoran held her back from the waist and Eriol put a hand in front of her.
James looked at Sakura with almost a hint of sadness in his eyes. "We could've had a fairy tale love, you and I. We could've made all the couples in the world jealous. Our love would live forever."
"We were never in love!" Sakura spat back. She was fuming with anger. She wanted to kill him, she wanted him worse than dead! "You don't know the meaning of love..."
"I loved you with all of my heart, Sakura! I wanted you all to myself! How can you say I don't know the meaning of love?!"
"That's not love! That's obsession!"
His hands started shaking, his breathing became shallow. He loved her and she rejected him over and over. All he had wanted was her. He had wanted her all to himself. Is that too much to ask for? Why did she have to reject him? Well it wasn't like he was just going to take it! He would make her sorry. "I will make you pay Sakura! You're going to be sorry!" Tomoyo started to whimper as the gun pushed into her back now.
Sakura, scared for her best friend's life, yelled, "No! Stop it! You don't want to hurt her! This is between you and me. Please just let her go!" Tears began to run down her face.
"Think about it man. You can't go anywhere. No matter what you do this is the end for you. So why don't you just let her go?" Eriol said as he slowly inched forward.
To his mistake, James took a step back. He had already been standing at the edge of the cliff and that one tiny step made him fall, dragging Tomoyo with her.
"Ahhh!" Tomoyo screamed as she hastily grabbed unto a branch that was sticking out of the wall of the cliff. James had been able to grab on to her foot. They were both dangling in the air.
"Tomoyo!" She heard her name being called and then Eriol's faced popped up there at the edge of the cliff. He smiled slightly when he found her hanging on there. "Tomoyo grab on to my hand!" He extended his hand. Tomoyo tried to reach it but James's weight was dragging her down.
"I can't!"
Sakura and Syaoran's face appeared next to Eriol. "Tomoyo, grab on to his hand!" Sakura ordered her.
Tomoyo sobbed. "I can't! I can't reach it!" She could feel hand starting to slip. She saw Eriol's and Syaoran's face move back out of her view. "Tomoyo please just hold on! We'll get you out of there in no time ok?"
Tomoyo just nodded and sobbed some more. Her hands had become clammy and were now slipping. She couldn't hold on any longer. She started to shake her legs hoping James would fall. "Stop that!" she heard him say.
"Let go, then!" She ordered.
"If I do I'll die idiot!" he barked back.
Tomoyo turned her head slightly and looked down. She could see a very rough river flowing under them. He was right. If they fell there was a 90 chance they would die. She wasn't ready to die.
She started to freak out more and then all of a sudden her hand slipped and let go of the branch she was holding on to. "Ahhh!" She closed her eyes and started to prepare herself for her death.
But someone had been able to catch her hand a millisecond after letting go. She opened her eyes and saw Eriol's face there. She did a little laugh/sob. She could see Syaoran was holding on to Eriol's legs and was now pulling them back up.
The second her feet hit the ground she was engulfed in a hug by Sakura. "You gave me a heart attack!" Tomoyo hugged back her best friend but almost immediately pulled back.
She ran back to the edge and looked down. "Where's James?! He was holding on to my foot! What happened to him?" She looked around frantically at everyone.
Sakura put a comfort hand on her shoulder.
"He probably fell," Eriol answered. He looked over the edge. "By the looks of the rapids down there, it doesn't look like there's much of a chance he's still alive."
"So that's it? It's over? I don't have to worry about him coming after me anymore?" Sakura asked looking back and forth at Eriol and Syaoran.
"Looks like it," Eriol answered.
Is it really over?
Is James really dead?
Are Sakura and Syaoran going to end up together?
Are Eriol and Tomoyo going to end up together?
