Tangled
Chapter Eleven: The Day He Went Away

I stood outside of the gymnasium, my cell phone pressed against my ear.

"So how are you?" I asked my mother on the other line.

"I'm good sweetie! What about you? Where are you, I can hear music?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes, leaning against the school wall. "I'm at the school, there's a dance."

"Oh so you're with Sakura then."

"Yeah," I said, twisting some hair between my fingers. "With Sakura, Syaoran, Meilin and Eriol."

"Eriol? Who's that?"

"You remember him, right?" I asked. "You know, from five years ago…he just moved back from England."

"Oh yes! The blue-haired boy!" My mother said, her voice smiling. "Well I won't be home for another two weeks dear, okay? Please stay safe."

I wanted to laugh. Safe, yeah. No problem.

"Okay mom, that'll work. Do you mind if I stay with Sakura a few times then?"

"No not at all honey." She answered. "Oh, and there's a competition that's coming up soon. If you win, you get to sing onstage, on camera, for over five countries."

"Really? What countries?" I asked.

"Well, Japan, obviously, Canada, the United States, Mexico and…I think somewhere in England. Or would it be the United Kingdom?"

I laughed. "That sounds great mom. I'll try out for it okay? I've go to go now, Eriol's waiting for me."

"Okay sweet." Mother sighed. "I miss you. See you when I get home okay?"

I nodded, even though I knew she couldn't see me. "Okay mom, bye!"

"Goodbye Tomoyo." She said, then hung up.

I sighed and hung up my phone, stuffing it back in my purse.

She'd been gone for almost a month now…two more weeks? Oh well…at least I have Sakura and the others to keep me company.

I heard footsteps come up beside me. Thinking it was Eriol, I turned and smiled. "I thought I'd meet you..."

I trailed off when Is aw who it really was.

Darasu.

He stood there in plain blue jeans and a black t-shirt. He looked kind of…mad.

"Darasu? What are you doing here?" I asked. I did not like the look he was giving me.

"I came to talk to you." He said. "You kinda wouldn't let me talk before."

I felt my cheeks flare slightly at the memory of my outburst. But still…he'd been in my house, uninvited and unexpected, I had a right to yell at him.

Didn't I?

"Well sorry," I said. "But we're over. Now I have to go, see you around."

I tried brushing past him.

But obviously Darasu didn't like me pulling a prima donna on him, because his hand lashed out and grabbed my arm in an iron like grip.

"What are you doing?" I growled, glaring daggers at him.

"Let me talk to you." He said.

"I don't think so." I answered acidly, trying to pull my arm away. But when I did so, his grip only got firmer.

I winced at the painful grip he had on me. "Darasu let me go."

"No, I need to talk." He said, beginning to walk behind the school.

"Let me go!" I shrieked at him, pounding my fist on his back as he pulled me along behind him.

His eyes flaring, he spun around and grabbed my other arm, shoving me, hard, against the wall at the back of the school.

"Will you listen to me?" He snarled.

"No I won't!" I snapped back. He reeked of alcohol. He was drunk. "You're drunk, leave me alone."

"You love him don't you?" He said, a slight edge to his voice.

I felt my heart rise in my throat. "E-Eriol?"

Darasu nodded. "You love Eriol, don't you? You loved him even when we were dating."

Wow, for being drunk he was in a pretty good state of thinking. Somewhat.

He continued, "I don't know how you two knew each other before and I don't know why I can't measure up to him, but would you at least give me a chance?"

Uh, no.

"Darasu I did give you a chance!" I said, beginning to worry at the proximity he was to me. "I wasn't in love with him when we were dating I swear!"

"But sometime during it you fell." Darasu said, his eyes were swirling with different emotions.

It scared me.

I sighed and closed my eyes, lowering my head. "Yes."

I had to stop lying to Darasu.

I felt his hand leave my arm and tilt my head up.

I was too scared, I didn't open my eyes. This was a whole new side to Darasu…I never knew he could be like this.

I felt him press his lips against mine, forcefully, hungrily.

This made me open my eyes, wide, in shock.

I pushed him away quickly. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Kissing you." Darasu said, his hand slid from under my chin to my neck, gripping it slightly.

He was choking me now?

He leaned forward and kissed me roughly. "It's the least you could do." he said.

The least I could do? Bastard!

I struggled against his grasp on me, but his hand around my neck only tightened.

I gasped.

Not just because he was cutting off my air supply, but because there was a person standing behind us, wide-eyed.

Eriol.

Eriol…no! I thought frantically. Eriol help me!

But Eriol didn't look like he was going to help me. He looked downright pissed off.

He couldn't see Darasu's hand around my neck.

His eyes flashed with something, sadness, and he turned and walked away.

E-Eriol…

I was so going to kill Darasu for this.

Darasu smirked. He'd seen Eriol walk up. He turned to me. "Looks like your single again."

Tears swelled up in my eyes. "I hate you…leave me a-alone."

"No way, you're mine now. You owe me." Darasu said, pressing his lips roughly against mine.

I felt his free hand slid down my waist and skim just below the hem of my skirt.

With Eriol it had felt right, but with Darasu…it felt cold. I froze under his touch, fear pulsing through me.

All I could think was Oh my God he's going to rape me. Where's Eriol? Someone?

XxXxX Syaoran's POV XxXxX

"Where are you going Syaoran?" Sakura asked, her emerald eyes fixed on me as I stood up from the table.

Eriol had been gone too long. Tomoyo had been gone too long.

But…what if I was interrupting something?

I shook my head. No, Eriol looked worried about something.

I walked from the table and went towards the door. Sakura followed after me with Meilin. "Syaoran?"

"Something's wrong." I said, pulling my sword pendant from around my neck.

Something was definitely wrong…I could feel it.

I pushed open the doors and stepped into the cool night air.

Eriol was nowhere to be seen. Tomoyo wasn't there, either.

"Hey, where's Tomoyo? Eriol?" Meilin asked, appearing at my side.

I shrugged. "I don't know."

Suddenly Eriol walked past us, his fists clenched beside him.

"Eriol wait!" I said, lashing out and grabbing his arm. "What's wrong? Where's Tomoyo?"

"Why don't you ask Darasu?" Eriol snapped, pulling his arm from me. "Leave me alone. I'm going home."

With that Eriol turned and stormed away.

"Darasu?" Sakura said softly. "But…Tomoyo's not talking to him. I talked with her just before we came here, he showed up at her house, she hates him now."

"Come on." I said, sprinting towards the back of the school, where Eriol had come from.

I whispered a few words to my pendant, and instantly it transformed into a large sword.

"Syaoran why are you doing this?" Meilin asked. "What's with the sword? I don't get it, are we in danger?"

"No but Tomoyo might be." I said.

Sakura gasped. "Tomoyo!"

We turned the corner and my fears were confirmed.

Darasu had Tomoyo pinned against the wall, his hand halfway up her dress, his hand gripping her neck tightly. From the looks of Tomoyo's face, she could barely breathe.

"Hey you!" I snarled, rushing up to him and pulling him off my friend, slamming him, hard, against the wall, pressing the blade of my sword up against his neck. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"Hey c-chill out Syaoran!" Darasu said. "What's with the sword? She said I could!"

"Tomoyo!" Sakura gasped, catching her friend as she sunk to her knees, tears streaking down her pale cheeks. "Tomoyo is that true?"

Tomoyo shook her head, clutching her throat. She was shaking, her makeup smudged under her eyes from crying.

I glared at Darasu, pressing my blade harder against his neck so a thin line of blood showed. "Get out of here you punk."

With that I dropped my sword and Darasu turned, stumbling off into the night.

Once he was gone Tomoyo broke into sobs, burying her face in Sakura's shoulder. "E-Eriol s-saw! He-He thinks…he thinks..."

"Shh." Sakura cooed, wrapping her arms around Tomoyo's shaking frame. "It's okay Tomoyo, it's okay. We're here now. Syaoran let's get her to my house."

I nodded and put my sword, back to it's smaller self, around my neck and under my shirt.

"Here, let me take her." I said, kneeling beside Sakura.

I gathered Tomoyo into my arms and stood, walking quickly to my car.

Meilin opened the back seat door and I set Tomoyo down in the seat. Sakura climbed in beside her.

I hopped in the front seat, Meilin in the passenger beside me.

"What did he do to her?" Meilin whispered to me.

"I don't know." I said, pulling the car into the reverse and speeding from the parking lot. "But whatever he did…he won't get away with it."

Especially when Eriol finds out.

But…Eriol had left so angry. He'd said he was going home.

Then it hit me. D-Did he mean…back to England?

Okay! I hope you liked it, I know it was a bit short but forgive me! Review!
