Well... anyways... To the disclaimer....

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura for if I did I'd have probably messed up the plot entirely....

In this chapter, the following means:

*_* = flashbacks

Torn apart... and then {A S+S Fanfic} Chapter 4:

Li looked ahead at Sakura, fragile practically depending on Tomoyo for support and complete balance. Why had he come here again? Oh right, because of what had happened earlier.

* Li had just opened the door to his apartment when the phone rang. He went to pick it up.

"Moshi moshi."

"Li Xiolang! What are you doing?!"

"O-oka-san! Why are you phoning me?"

"Why are you getting emotional?! Have you forgetting your mission? You must still remain close to the card mistress! She must not open the book! UNDERSTOOD?!"

Rubbing his ear he replied, "Hai, Oka-san." *

"Syaoran-kun." Sakura muttered. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to apologize for yesterday." He walked up to her and took her hands in his. "I'd like another chance. Can you at least give me that?"

Sakura flung her arms around him.

"Of course, Syaoran-kun!" Tears ran down her cheeks.

"Arigatou, Sakura-chan."

***

It had been a week since Li had returned. Sakura and Syaoran were slowly rebuilding their relationship, but Sakura had yet to break up with Camron. She hadn't seen him since his visit at the hospital.

Earlier that morning Li had phoned Sakura and asked her to meet him at Penguin Park, he had to talk to her. Sakura left her house and headed for Penguin Park.

It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless. Sakura walked down the street with a spring in her step. Nothing could dampen her day; or so she thought. Turning the corner she came face to face with Camron. Surprise filled her eyes.

"C-Camron-kun,... w-what are you doing here?"

"I was just about to ask you the same." He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bush. "What the hell are you doing?!" He growled.

"Ow! Let go Camron-kun, you're hurting me." Sakura tried to free her hand but to no avail.

"How dare you cheat on me with some other guy!?" With that he flung her against a tree. She slid to the ground. "How dare you humiliate me like that!?" He walked over to her. Sakura trembled in fear. She began to reach for her neck where she usually had her magic key.

***

Syaoran sat on the park bench waiting for Sakura when he began to sense an enormous power. None other than Sakura's.

'No, Sakura-chan. Don't do it...'

Li ran towards the source. He had to stop her.

***

Camron's eyes began to glow with anticipation. This was what he was waiting for. The key to the most dangerous power in the world, the Clow.

Sakura pulled it from under her shirt but something made her stop. Deep inside her, its power was yearning to escape ant to be free once more but a voice inside her head begged her to stop. Obeying the voice, she tucked it back inside her shirt.

"What do you have there? Give it to me!" Camron shouted.

"No! What happened to you Camron-kun? Why are you so mean?" Sakura tried to back away but she couldn't, the tree wouldn't permit it. Camron came closer and smacked her across the face.

"Give it to me!" He ordered.

"No." Her eyes full of resistance.

"Give it to me!" Her punched her in the stomach and pulled back his hand to hit again when another hand grabbed his wrist. Sakura looked up to see Syaoran standing there, protecting her. "Let me go, this bitch is none of your concern."

"She's not a bitch. You have no right to hit her." Syaoran twisted Camron's wrist. Camron hollered in pain. "Run fast, or I might catch you." He let Camron run and scurry away to hide. He bent down towards Sakura, her eyes watering.

"Sakura-chan, daijobu?" Sakura fell into his arms.

"How could he be like that? He was never like this, ever." Sakura cried into his chest.

"It'll be alright Sakura-chan. I'm here, I'm right here." Sakura looked up at him. His eyes were so sincere. She was glad to have him as a friend.

***

Syaoran walked Sakura home. Luckily no one was home so he could come in and help her get ice for the bruise on her face. They both walked up to Sakura's room. Syaoran hesitated before enetering. He had never been in a girl's room before other than his mother's. He leaned against the wall, his gaze drifted towards her desk. There on it lay the Clowbook. Syaoran straightened up. Had she already opened it?

"Syaoran-kun? Are you okay? Is something wrong?" She followed his gaze, which lead to her desk. There she saw the clowbook. "Brings back memories, doesn't it?" She asked as she walked over to it. She slid her hand over its surface, playing with the lock.

"Sakura-chan, can I ask you something." Sakura looked up to Syaoran.

"Sure, shoot." She went and sat on her bed.

"Umm... would you, umm... be my girlfriend?"
