Chapter 6: Sight Unseen

Disclaimer: CCS … I don't own you!

By Stephie23

Brief Authors Note: To address a concern that was brought up in one of the reviews. The flashback that takes place starting in chapter 3 is something that happened before the events in chapter 1. Sorry if this confused some of you. So once again, they are separate events. It should all make a bit more sense after this chapter! If you have any more questions feel free to e-mail me about them.

Last Chapter:

Sakura's POV

I woke up to find blood on my face. The small room was lit only by the lightning that shot through the night sky.

FLASH

I saw a body slumped in the corner of the room

The room was thrown back into darkness.

FLASH

I moved closer to the body and turned it over

Darkness

FLASH

My scream could be heard echoing through the night. It was Syaoran. Syaoran was… dead… no he couldn't be… he couldn't be dead… no … I wouldn't believe it… I wouldn't!

FLASH

I looked down to see my body covered in blood. It was Syaoran's blood. What had happened here? Who had killed him? I did not have time to answer these questions, however, because by that time I had passed out.

– Sakura's POV –

I still hadn't figured out what the dream meant, and now it was beginning to rain. 'Could my luck get any better?' I sarcastically thought.

I felt a shadow move behind me. I saw a hooded figure with … were those yellow eyes? …

I screamed and ran forward.

The hair on Syaoran's neck stood up. Something was wrong. He picked up his phone and dialed Sakura's cell. It rang, and rang, and rang …

Something was definitely wrong. He grabbed his jacket and ran out the door.

End Flashback

" … And that's when I ran out after her" replied an apprehensive Syaoran.

"I see replied the police officer. So you have no idea as to who may have been chasing after her." As he asked this he turned to face the door

"no…" replied Syaoran warily

The officers eyes glowed red and a smirk crossed his face. It faded as quickly as it had come and he turned back around to face Syaoran.

"None what-so-ever?" he pushed harder

"No!"

"I see." replied the officer with what Syaoran though sounded like a very unconvinced tone

"Now Mr. Li I know you may want to do something about this …"

"Damn right I do" Syaoran interrupted standing and slamming his fists down on the table "when I find out who did this I will personally make sure they pay!"

"Mr. Li please sit back down" the officer replied firmly. "Now as I was saying, although you may want to do something about this I suggest you let the police handle it. I personally don't want to see any more blood on our streets."

"Now I trust you will take my advice?" asked the police officer

In response Syaoran gave him an icy glare.

"You may go…" the officer waved him off with a frustrated sigh

As soon as Syaoran left a wide grin spread across his face … "the little wolf still has no clue … it will only be a matter of time until he gets what's coming to him …"

In the waiting room

'There was something about that officer … something that just doesn't sit right … I didn't pick up a magical sense from him… maybe… maybe it was just my imagination' Eriol thought to himself

Noticing Eriol deep in thought she looked at him.

"Is there something wrong?" she inquired

"No…" then seeing the look in her eyes he caved "I just got a bad feeling from that guy, but it's probably nothing to be concerned about"

"okay" she smiled up at him, then snuggled closer "do you … do you think Sakura will be okay?" her voice was shaky and her eyes filled with tears

"Sakura is a strong person, I know she will…" although doubts flooded his mind he would never let them show, he had to be strong for Tomoyo

As Syaoran walked into the waiting room the two of them stood up. Tomoyo, Syaoran noticed, had red puffy eyes and was shaking slightly. Eriol on the other hand had a really serious look, as if he was deep in thought. He wasn't quite sure which bothered him more; both were uncharacteristic of his friends. Tomoyo was always one to look on the bright side, and Eriol, well besides his devilish grin, he never showed much emotion, and never ever showed anyone that he was concerned, or deep in thought for that matter.

"Syaoran…" Tomoyo cried, and then ran into his arms

"Tomoyo" he comforted his friend

She pulled away and looked into his eyes. "Does the officer know anything?"

"No. He's just pulling at false leads. He's going to be completely useless, he did tell me to keep out of all of this though."

"Are you going to?" Eriol inquired

"Of course not! I'm going to find whoever did this, and when I do I will kill them." replied a furious Syaoran.

Before Eriol could protest the doctor walked in.

Two yellow eyes flickered in a dark empty room that contained nothing except a small beam of light in the middle.

"Did you do it?" a mysterious voice spoke, the only thing that could be seen were two red gleaming eyes.

"Yessssss … I managed to get her" the man with yellow eyes hissed.

"Xiao-Lang hasn't the slightest clue who did it, or even why. So she's dead then"

"I pressssume ssssso"

The figures red eyes narrowed. "What do you mean presume? I thought you said you did it!"

The yellow eyed figure cowered in fear before stepping into the small beam of light. A woman with yellow eyes and midnight black hair was revealed. "Sssssory massster. I shot her, but Xiao-Lang pulled her from the lake. Ssssshe was russssshed to the hossspital. I doubt sssshe made it though."

"Dammit. Can't you do anything right. Go make sure she is really dead. Bring me her star key so I know you did the job this time. No excuses now GO!"

"Yessss massster… sorry massster." He quickly made his way back towards the hospital.

"Xiao-Lang, I WILL have my revenge. You will lose the person who is most important to you, as did I."

Authors Note: Sorry about the short chapter. I am really busy with midterms, and what-not. I have 2 assignments due this week … and two exams… it really builds up. Plus I wanted to leave you with a cliffhanger, since I didn't really do that last chapter. I'd also like to thank all of my beloved reviewers: Baby Penguin, Mew Frost, Cherry Love Angel, midnightwhisper3, and shaaarona. Thanks soooo much guys!
