Note: Hi! Thank you so much for all the reviews! I'm trying to take advantage of all the minimum days this week, so I can update as much as possible! I hope you enjoyed the last chappy. A bit of an odd ending, but you shall be enlightened in this chapter! Do not fear! Jk. Lol.

Why?

Syaoran choked on his breakfast. He and Yamazaki were still sniggering over Eriol's magnificent wake up call. Eriol sent him a death glare (so like Shiku) from a few feet away, where he was sitting. Syaoran found his friends very amusing.

Syaoran turned his head to look at Yamazaki. Another grin broke across his face as he caught site of his friend laughing silently, tears of mirth falling upon his uneaten breakfast. Syaoran had a sudden urge to tell him to eat.

A loud, raw trumpet call sounded across the desert sand. Syaoran squinted his eyes and caught site of a small group of people moving towards the digging site. Two were on horseback.

Syaoran hastily stood up and started walking rapidly towards the oncoming people (he's dressed now so relax). Yamazaki and Eriol, as Syaoran's second in charge, thought it their duty to follow him and hear the news.

As the small crowd drew nearer, Syaoran could see that it was the King and the High Priest riding upon identical white horses. Toya was scowling his usual scowl and Yukito seemed rather troubled by something.

The men marching around the two white horses stopped and Toya and Yukito dismounted. Toya's scowl deepened as his eyes alighted upon Syaoran. No matter what he did, Toya would hate Syaoran always for a reason he couldn't quite convey.

Pompously, he strode towards the seventeen-year-old young man and stuck his hand out fro the confused Syaoran to shake.

"SYAORAN!" he boomed, even more pompously than before. Suddenly his voice quieted a little and he said:

"Hereisyourcontractpleasesignityoushallbemovingyourgroundswitihinthedaypleasedonotcomebackthankyouverymuch."

And with that, Toya shoved a scroll into Syaoran's arms, pulled an eagle-feather quill out of nowhere and told Syaoran to sign the document. Syaoran, confused and dazed, signed the scroll (no!) without reading it, and handed it back to Toya.

Toya grinned evilly. "So you agree that you will move your grounds out of Kingdom Clow's territory?" Without waiting for a reply, Toya continued. "Excellent, you can start packing now."

With a whirl of his elegant robes, Toya turned around, jumped on his horse and rode away with his small band of bodyguards and a very upset Yukito, leaving a confused Syaoran standing in the dust.

By the time Yamazaki and Eriol reached Syaoran's standing place (they walk slowly), they found a speechless and pale Syaoran staring after the departed king.

"Yo Sy, what's up?" Yamazaki asked companionably.

"Yeah, you look all shocked." Eriol added with a grin. "What's the matter, did they king suddenly announce that you had to leave?"

Syaoran turned his head, his eyes wide, and nodded. Yamazaki and Eriol's jaws dropped to the center of the earth.

"WHAT!"

Sakura burst into tears as she ran to the Astronomy Tower. How could Toya be so cruel. He had said that he wouldn't punish her, but forcing Syaoran to leave was equal to punishing her! Why did he hate Syaoran so much?

Sakura gasped and tripped as she entered the Astronomy Tower. She lay on the soft, blood red carpet sobbing, exhausted from climbing the circular stairs so quickly.

She had only just found out about Toya's plan from one of Yukito's maids. Sakura shuddered as she thought about it. She had almost fainted at the news, which was a big deal because fainting was Tomoyo's job.

Sakura curled up into a tiny ball at the center of the circular tower, and burst into tears. Life wasn't fair…but this was being too unfair. Why Toya, Sakura thought desperately, Why!
