Chapter 8: Unmasking the shadow Part 1

"Define stolen?" asked Syaoron looking at Yue as Sakura slept on the couch.

"It stole them and made therm vanish." said Yue plainly.

The air was tense. No one could believe what happened.

"I'm curious." said Touya trying to break the tension. "Why do we always come here?" he asked pointing out they were again at Eriol's.

"It's the closest place to the attack." said Tomoyo as she and Nakuru came out with tea.

"Where's the pain?" asked Syaoron, meaning Crystal.

"I'm not sure." said Eriol.

"I'll go get some sugar. We're almost out." said Tomoyo, calming Syaoron down.

Everyone went quiet. No one could think of what to say. All thoughts were focused on the shadow.

They heard the dining room door open, signaling Tomoyo's return. Suddenly a crashing sound was heard. Everyone looked up and saw Tomoyo, mouth wide opened, the sugar jar on the ground, staring towards the window in disbelief.

They all looked towards the window and saw what they thought was not real. The shadow sat on the edge of the balcony, looking more human than ever before. It's outfit was purple, exactly like the outfit they had seen Crystal in earlier; a dark purple tank top and puffy skirt. A large set of Yue style wings hid it's face in shadow. It was definately female, that much they could tell.

It smrked with a small chuckle and lowered it's wings revealing it's face. Shock pread through everyone as the shadow's indentity was revealed: Crystal.


A/N: It was not originally supposed to end there! I thought I'd leave a cliffie. Read & Review!
