~*Story*~

~Sakura~

Sitting in Mei Lin's room alone, for the first time Sakura let all her guards down and cried. Tears poured down her cheeks as she looked at all Mei Lin's things. She didn't know how long she had been there but it must have been awhile because no more tears would come and the final tears had dried on her cheeks.

She got up from Mei Lin's bed where she had been and looked at her dresser that was full of pictures. A weak smile made its way to her face as her eyes landed on several group shots. Then she froze. It was an old picture of Mei Lin and Syaoran.

"Syaoran." Sakura said looking at the picture. Her mind raced. Had he heard the horrible news yet? What would he do? Does he even remember me? She pushed the last thought out of her head. That was crazy.

"Get a hold of yourself Sakura!" She scolded herself. This was not helping her find Mei Lin and that was top priority right now. She set the picture back down and went to her room to shower. That always helped her relax and clear her mind. Then Day Two of the search would begin.

~Tomoyo~

"Miss. Daidouji." (is that the right spelling of Tomoyo's name?) A women's voice cut through Tomoyo's thoughts bringing her back to her surroundings. "Miss. Daidouji?" The voice over the intercom asked again.

"Yes?" Tomoyo asked picking up the phone. It was the security officer from the front gate.

"We have two men claiming that they must speak to you or Miss. Kinomoto." The officer said on the other end of the phone.

"What are their names?" Tomoyo asked. They weren't expecting anyone but maybe these men had news about Mei Lin or something. "And ask why they are here please."

After a few minutes the officer came back on the phone. "One claimed to be Li Syaoran and the other didn't give a name but said we was here for support." Tomoyo almost dropped the phone. Syaoran. Back?

"Um. . . let them in and have them brought to the main house. Someone will take it from there. Thank you." Tomoyo said before hanging up the phone. She stared at it a few minutes before jumping up. She had to find Sakura.

~Syaoran~

"I told you they would see us." Kaleb whispered nervously to Syaoran as they made their way up the steps of a huge mansion. Syaoran just smirked, but on the inside his heart was beating wildly. 'What if they don't remember me?' He asked himself. Just then the door swung open to reveal a girl about nineteen with short red hair and big blue eyes.

"I take it your Syaoran?" She asked eyeing him and Kaleb. He could only nod. "This way." She turned and they followed her into the large house. She led them to a large conference room with flat screen computers at every seat. "She'll be just a moment." And with that she headed out the door only to stop half way out. She turned back and added. "Don't touch anything." And with that she was gone.

"Well. . ." Kaleb said looking around. "That was interesting."

~Sakura~

Sakura stepped out of the shower dressed in a towel, her hair falling just past her shoulders. She sighed relaxing in the steam filled the room that smelled of cherry blossoms. Suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door. She glanced at the door and shook her head. 'Never a moments pace.'

"SAKURA!" screamed Tomoyo from the other side banging frantically on the door.

"Tomoyo, what's wrong?" Sakura shouted back rushing to open the door. A wave of steam hit Tomoyo when the door opened and she laughed. "Tomoyo?" Sakura asked looking at her friend.

"Oh," Tomoyo whispered to herself as an idea hit her. "Um. . . we have some visitors regarding Mei Lin's disappearance." Tomoyo said looking Sakura in the eye. "And they aren't with the police." She added.

Sakura looked at her suspiciously. Something was up she just couldn't figure out what it was. "Ok." She said walking back into her bathroom, Tomoyo following. She began to dry her hair and looked at Tomoyo who was going through her cabinets. "What on earth are you looking for?" Sakura asked starring at her friend.

Tomoyo froze. She smiled innocently. "Oh nothing. Just looking." She shrugged and began to walk out the door. "I'll wait outside the conference room before we go in." She said before she disappeared.

Sakura just looked at herself in the mirror. "What was that all about?" She asked her reflection but wasn't surprised when it didn't answer her back.

~Syaoran~

"Wow." Kaleb said glancing at his watch. "We have been here twenty minutes now."

"Chill." Syaoran said looking at the doors behind them. "I'm sure they are just. . ." He turned back around and looked at Kaleb. "Busy." Kaleb's face paled and Syaoran laughed. It was just too easy.

"NOT cool." Kaleb said glaring at Syaoran.

~Tomoyo~

Waiting outside the conference room filing her nails, Tomoyo was beginning to wonder what was taking Sakura so long. But as soon as the thought entered her mind Sakura came walking down the hall in a black v- neck halter with a collar, that made it look sophisticated yet sexy, and matching black pants that fit to her body perfectly.

"About time!" Tomoyo said standing up. She was wearing a dark purple racer-back tank and black stretch pants. Comfortable yet elegant as she would like to think. "And somebody looks hott today." She said smiling and winked. Sakura shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." Sakura said looking at the desk Tomoyo was recently sitting on. "We're going out later." She looked Tomoyo in the eye. "We have some business to take care of." Tomoyo knew exactly what she was talking about but didn't really feel like going out without Mei Lin. "So lets make this quick ok?" As Sakura walked toward the door Tomoyo couldn't help but smile. This was going to be a surprise or all parties involved.

~Hunter~

They had stopped at the café and eaten while waiting for Tyson to bring the car. Now they were ready to leave. They had to get out of the country before it was too late. He knew how the Angels worked and they soon would be watching everything that came and left the country.

"What are you thinking about?" Melissa asked seductively into Hunters ear.

He grinned at her and then whispered into her ear. "You and all the fun we can have once we get the money and we are rid of both the Li brats."

"Sounds nice." She said smiling.

~Syaoran~

"Did you hear that?" Kaleb asked standing up. "I think someone's outside.

"Relax Kaleb," Syaoran looked at the door to but remained sitting until he heard the handle start to move, and instantly he was on his feet next to Kaleb.

The door opened to revile two beautiful women standing before him. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Kaleb's jaw hit the floor and had to contain his laughter. Then His eyes traveled back to the girl with auburn hair. Could it be? She looked up and after four years of being gone, one look in those amazing emerald eye's made him wonder why he ever left.

Sakura froze when she realized whom it was. Syaoran. After so long. 'NO!' Her mind screamed. She looked away and walked to her place at the head of the table.

Tomoyo followed Sakura's lead. She waved at Syaoran and his friend but frowned inside. 'Well what were you actually thinking was going to happen. They were going t run into each other's arms? Stupid!' Tomoyo sat on Sakura's right side and motioned for the guys to also sit. She winced when Syaoran sat in Mei Lin's seat on Sakura's left hand side.

Syaoran and Kaleb exchanged glances before looking back at the girls in front of them.

"So I take it you've heard about Mei Lin?" Sakura asked bypassing introductions. "I'd just like to say I'm sorry." Tomoyo looked away trying hard not to start crying again. She knew Sakura was in pain and not releasing it was hurting her even more.

"Yea," Syaoran said looking at Sakura. "Can you tell me what happened?"

"She was kidnapped." Sakura answered shortly.

"By who?" Syaoran asked trying to control his feelings. "Why would any one want to take Mei Lin?"

"Hunter, my ex-boyfriend." Sakura paused. "And I don't know why but I do know that we are doing everything in out power to get her back."

Kaleb winced at the edge in her voice. He could tell she was mad but he couldn't tell to whom it was directed at. The look in her eyes told him she was someone not to be messed with.

Syaoran's heart squeezed at the mention of an ex-boyfriend and he wondered why. But anger soon took the place of anything else. Anger at the world for taking his cousin. Anger at himself for not being there to protect her. Anger toward Sakura for not protecting her. "And what were you doing while she was being kidnapped?" He asked sharply.

Sakura's eyes flashed. "Where were you?" she snapped back. How dare he come here and accuse her when he left and then dropped all communication.

"Well you're her BESTFRIEND." He glared.

"You're her COUSIN!" Sakura yelled standing up. "If you cared so much you should never have left. Or continued communication! If you had been here her life might not have been like it is now! She might even still be HERE. But NO! She's gone. AND NO ONE FUCKING KNOWS WHERE!!!" She slammed her hands on the table before running out of the room

"Sakura!" Tomoyo called getting up to follow her but stopped. 'She needs to be alone.' She told herself. Then she looked at Syaoran and his friend. "I guess you remember me Syaoran. And my name is Daidouji Tomoyo, if you'll follow me I assume you will need a place to stay."

~Sakura~

Once out of the conference room Sakura ran to the east gardens. After she was far enough into the landscape without being seen she dropped to her knees crying. Sobs shook her entire body while she sat there. Tears pouring down her cheeks, she thought about everything that had happened once again.

Seeing Tomoyo run into the room tears running down her face while she stood up on stage. The questions about the horrible night. And Hunter. She had trusted him. Told him her secrets. Given herself to him. Another wave of sobs shook her body and she let them feeling helpless and alone.
