Eriol headed down the road from the Chinese shop. He was walking down peacefully when he heard light footsteps behind him. He quickly spun around but saw nothing. He began walking again but he kept hearing the footsteps.

"Who's there?" he asked nervously, adjusting his glasses.

He was replied with silence as he began to walk through an alleyway. Eeriness filled him as he kept walking down the darkened path. Just then, hands shot out and grabbed him by his shoulder and shoved him against a wall.

His own blue eyes clashed with cold amber eyes as the grip on his shoulder tightened.

"What are you doing with her?" the stranger asked and kept pushing him against the wall.

"Who are you?! And what are you talking about?" Eriol asked and tried to wriggle his way out of the man's strong grip.

"I am not of any concern…now answer me, what were you doing with Sakura?" the stranger said dangerously close to his ear.

"We're just friends! I swear!" he exclaimed.

"Liar. I don't believe you." the stranger gritted and took out his dagger swiftly and struck Eriol in the stomach.

Fortunately, Eriol had managed to move but was struck in the shoulder blade. Blood seeped out quickly as he ran out of the alleyway, fearing his life. He reached the light and started quickly heading for the nearest hospital. People had looked at him as he placed a hand over his bloodied wound and continued to run faster to the hospital. He didn't dare look behind, fearing the stranger was following.

By the time he reached the hospital, the blood was now gushing everywhere and he was sent to the emergency room immediately. Eriol fainted and was now in a deep peaceful sleep…

-

Sakura dialed the number again but Eriol didn't pick up his mobile. She was getting frantic and tried dialing it for the 20th time. She bit her fingernails in nervousness and silently prayed for it to be picked up, only to have it unavailable.

She knew something was wrong. Earlier in the day, Eriol looked fine when they were at the restaurant…

She quickly grabbed her car keys and sped her way there. As she was driving, red trails of blood were seen on the footpath…all splattered around. She picked up her pace.

"Oh god."

Sakura had jammed to a stop and jumped out of the car. There was blood all near the entrance of an alleyway. It was dark and blood was sprawled on the walls.

She took a step back, and then another and reached her car until a deep, evil chuckle was heard from behind her.

"So we meet again…Sakura." the voice that haunted her nightmares whispered.

"Oh god…what did you do to him? You bastard! What did you do?!" Sakura lashed out furiously as tears pricked her eyes and a lump formed in her throat.

"Don't worry, he's not dead, yet. I just stabbed him a bit…" Li gave an evil smirk as she started to quiver.

"Why? Why hurt them? They didn't do anything to you! J-just leave them alone!" she cried as her knees gave way and she collapsed onto the ground.

Li looked upon her collapsed form and walked closer. He bent down and lifted her chin, only to have her flinch away from his touch.

"There is only one thing that would keep me from harming them." he spoke as she looked up into his cold amber eyes.

"And what is that?" she asked with a quivered voice.

"Be mine and this will all end. You won't see your friends or anyone else die because of you." he gritted out and continued to stare at her shocked face.

"N-no! I'll never be yours, y-you beast!" Sakura cried and started pounding on his chest in attempts to make him go away.

His eyes blared an uncontrollable anger and his nostrils had flared and his mouth was set it a grim line.

"Then don't expect to see your friends alive for long." he spat and walked off.

"Oh no…what have I done? Forgive me Eriol…I'm sorry…" she said and started rocking herself back and forwards.

She shakily stood up and tried to control her shaking hands and opened the door to her car. She got inside and once she got inside, she let the tears flow out freely.

She was so selfish…now so much people would die…

Why, of all people, did this happen to her? She didn't want to be claimed as property under him, but if she didn't, who knows what will happen?

Taking deep breaths, she started the car up and followed the trail of blood…ending up in the hospital.

She ran in quickly and looked around frantically and rushed to the receptionist.

"Is a man named Eriol here? He had blue hair, silver spectacles and blue eyes?" she asked, panicked.

"Oh yes, he ran in earlier and was sent to the emergency room. May I please ask what is your relationship is with him?" the receptionist asked.

"I'm a close family friend." Sakura answered as another lump formed in her throat.

"Oh, I'm very sorry. Only family members may be allowed in. But at this moment, he is in under intense care." the receptionist said defiantly.

"But I have to see him! Please!" Sakura pleased as a glossy sheen of tears covered her eyes.

The lady sighed and gave a nod, "Take that door and then take a turn to the left and up the stairs and then right. But don't tell anyone I told you."

Sakura nodded and then followed the receptionist's instructions. There were so many doors that she got confused and all the people and doctors made her dizzy. But she kept strong and kept trying to find Eriol's room.

When she had reached it, she could see his pale body on the roller and many doctors performing surgical procedures to help him.

She stood there, rigid; her legs turned stiff as the sight of her dear old Eriol there, silent and pale and could very well be dying.

She lifted and hand towards the glass and stared there shocked. She didn't care if she looked like hell, with her clothes all wrinkled, red eyes from crying and her hair all messed up, Eriol was in worst shape.

She could see where Li had stabbed him. If Eriol had died, she didn't know what she would do.

"Damn you, Li. I'll make you pay. I don't know how, but I will you bastard." Sakura gritted out quietly and found a nearby seat and decided to fall asleep and dream of the man that always haunted her dreams with his voice.

Li Syaoran.
