Chapter 5: Confusing Evidence
Sakura paced around her room hoping... no... praying that someone had found out what that strange thing was. By now, everyone knew that Sakura had been attacked by... something. Syaoron was first to go investigate the area but he came back with nothing. Yukito tried and found a piece of blue material. Still no one knew what to make of the strange attacker. The Clow cards were safe... but for how long?
A lot of questions were being asked, none of which that could be answered. Everyone decided to meet at the park, around the area that Sakura was attacked. Everyone was there except for Eriol, whom they were waiting for. He came running through the bushes, only stopping to catch his breath when he was near them.
"Sorry I'm late. Had to convince Crystal that I wouldn't be gone long. I swear, sometimes she asts like a worried six year old." he panted.
"Okay. Now that everyone is here, we need to find out what we found." said Shaoron.
"The only thing we actually found was this piece of material." said Yukito pulling it out for everyone to see.
Eriol's eyes shot open as he remembered something. "Can I see that?" he asked taking the piece of fabric. He examined it for a long time before one word escaped his lips. "Crystal."
"What?" cried everyone.
"She came home earlier and her dress was ruined. There was a piece about this size missing from her dress."
Everyone could only look at eachother in shocked silence. They knew they had to talk to her.
"I just can't believe she would do that." said Sakura as they walked quickly to Eriol's house.
"Well all evidence points to her." said Syaoron darkly.
They arrived at Eriol's five minutes later and found Crystal reading a book in the living room, wearing reading glasses.
"Why Crystal?" asked Eriol as soon as they found her.
She looked at them with a confused look before putting down her book and removing her glasses. "What?"
"Why did you do it?" he repeated.
"Do what?" she asked.
"Let me say this simply: why did you attack Sakura?" asked Syaoron.
"Why would I attack her?"
"I don't know! You tell us!" Syaoron yelled.
"I didn't do it dammit!"
"Yeah right! You damn good at lying chicky!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" she yelled, tears flowing freely down her face.
"Syaoron calm down! Let someone else handle this!" said Sakura holding him back.
"Crystal, can you remember anything?" asked Yukito blocking the fuming Syaoron.
"No... well kinda... I don't know!" she cried holding her head.
"Will you tell us when you remember?" he asked bending down towards her.
"Okay." she rubbed her eyes of her tears and lightly fell over into Yukito's arms.
"Is she okay?" asked Nakuru.
"Sleeping." he said picking her up. "I'll take her to her room."
He brought her up to her room and lightly put her down in her bed, covering her up. He smiled at her as she slept peacefully before leaving the room and closing the light.
He returned downstairs and found them discussing the matter over tea.
"So she doesn't remember..." said Eriol.
"She's lying!" yelled Shaoron.
"I don't think so. Her expression never changed; she was answering us honestly." said Toya.
Yukito sat down and looked at the book she had been reading. It was a book with different music sheets in it, all for the violin. The page she had been looking at was a more difficult piece called 'Fàbula'.
"Give her a chance to calm down. She's honest so she'll tell us when she remembers." muttered Yukito still looking at the book.
"What was she reading?" asked Kero.
"Music sheet for a song for the violin."
"Maybe she can play it when she wakes up." said Sakura looking towards Eriol. "Eriol, what are you doing?"
Eriol had been looking at Crystal's reading glasses. He took off his own glasses and looked through hers. "She has the same eyesight I do. Maybe worse."
"So?" asked Sakura.
"Did you see anything glass looking on the thing that attacked you? Like a pair of glasses?"
"No. I don't think so."
"Hmmmmm. This is becoming quite interesting."
A/N: Hmmmmm... I wonder what'll happen? The song I mentioned is by Mecano. A very haunting tune. You wanna know what happens? Read & Review!
