Chapter 29: The Start Of Tragedy
"Jimbo, tell your friend to relax. That's right. Do a pose. Closer together. I thought you were good friends? Get her waist Jimbo. OK, Miss, put your hands on his. Yes, OK. Hug tighter, pull her closer Jimbo. OK, SMILE."

Sakura and Jimbo finally finished taking the shoot that he had invited her to. Now they walked on the street, the sky dark in the late afternoon.
"Tired?" asked Jimbo.
"Yeah, a bit. Who thought taking photos could make you tired," smiled Sakura. Then, she spotted a familiar old lady. She walked over with Jimbo following her.
"Excuse me, old lady, do you remember me?" Sakura asked.
The lady looked at her.
"Sorry, No, I don't," the old lady said. She looked at Jimbo. "My dear, is this your boy friend?"
"Iie," laughed Sakura.
The old lady touch Jimbo's cheeks.
"He looks so much like my dead husband," the old lady said.
Jimbo immediately ran to behind Sakura, freaked.
"Little lady," said the old lady. "I give you a phrase. Forget about that past."
With that, the old lady walked away.
"Forget about the past………." Whispered Sakura.
"Who is she?" asked Jimbo.
"A fortune teller," said Sakura giving a smile, beginning to walk again.
"Seem really dodgy to me," mumbled Jimbo walking with her, both their backs turned.
"Really?... She's pretty good you know" said Sakura.
If only they didn't turn their backs so early, they would have seen two nurses rushing to the old lady….
"There you are! Where have you been! Back to the hospital for you!" said the 1st nurse.
"You, you, you're gonna die!" said the old lady to the 1st nurse.
"Yes, yes."
The old lady turned to the 2nd nurse.
"You're gonna win something tomorrow," she said to her.
"I sure am," said the 2nd nurse as the walked back to the ambulance, back to mental ward.

Rei and Minako went into the newsagency, walking straight to the magazine section.
"I want that new American magazine!" whined Rei, taking one off the stand.
Minako also took a magazine off the stand.
"Didn't you have a date with someone today?" asked Minako.
"No," said Rei getting a new magazine.
"Rei, look how disgusting this ad is. Hot night, partying and more then you can think off………." Read Minako.
"Wait a second! Isn't that, Sakura!" said Rei pointing to the ad's picture of a girl being hugged around the waist by a black haired hotty.
"Oh yeah!" exclaimed Minako, eyes wide.
They looked at each other with sly smirks.
"She's so disgusting and such a little whore! Let's show this to Clow 4! (Ooo, that rhymes, oops this isn't the right time ahem)" said Minako.
"She's a disgrace to the school!" said Rei hands on hips, but an evil smile on lips. (Ooo look there's the rhyme again!)

Sakura and Richie were at their lockers as usual. Richie opened he's locker with trouble as usual before stuffing his books in.
"Sakura, my dad bought me a boat called Richard cruiser," said Richie excitedly.
"Really?" said Sakura changing books.
"Uhuh, come with me on a holiday some time."
Before Sakura could reply her phone started ringing. She picked up and was surprised at who it was when she glanced at the caller-id.
"Hey, Jimbo. What? Oh, ok… Now? Eh, I' know that place, see you there."
"Who's that?" asked Richie.
"My work friend. He said he has something to tell me. You go to class first, I'll back really soon," said Sakura running off.
"Oh no, Sakura isn't going off with another guy is she?" said Richie to himself, feeling down as ever as he turned to go. He saw Syaoran coming down the corridor and immediately opened his locker again, stuffing his head in it.
Syaoran walked down the corridor, of course not tricked by the lame Richie and slapped him on the back with a magazine.
"Oi, where's Sakura," he snapped.
Richie didn't reply. Syaoran yanked him out.
"I said, WHERE'S SAKURA!" he snapped again.
Richie huddled up against the lockers.
"She said for me to go to class first," said Richie.
"WHERE IS KINOMOTO."
Richie whimpered.
"She's gone to meet a friend," squeaked out Richie.
Syaoran gave him a glare.
"Don't even know how to answer a simple question," hissed Syaoran and walked off.

Sakura ran up to Jimbo who stood outside the infamous glass building of Tokyo University.
"Jimbo! What's up?" panted Sakura when she reached him.
Jimbo handed her the magazine he was holding.
"I wanted you to look at this," he said.
Sakura looked at the page he handed her and skimmed through the things on it giving a gasp.
"OH MY GOSH! Didn't they say it wasn't for this kind of stuff!" she exclaimed.
"Well, it's not that bad," said Jimbo.
"I'm regretting it totally! How could I have taken this kind of photos!" she said desperately. "What am I going to do!"
"We only took a little bit of photos! No one will notice," said Jimbo scratching his head
Sakura frowned worriedly, thinking desperately of a solution…..
"WHY IS IT HIM AGAIN!" came the loud snap of Syaoran Li, looking at Sakura and Jimbo from the steps.
"It's none of YOUR business. Me and Jimbo are just friends-"
"Because Sakura is my partner," cut in Jimbo, standing in front of Sakura.
"Partner…?" said Syaoran through gritted teeth
"What are you talking about Jimbo?" hissed Sakura.
"How can you be like this Sakura Kinomoto!" shouted Syaoran. "Taking these kind of photos and being with this person!"
"Are you jealous?" smirked Jimbo. "You're jealous aren't you?"
Sakura shook Jimbo's arm her face more worried by each second.
"Don't say that Jimbo," she hissed again.
"Be quiet Sakura. Every time Sakura is away from you just for a bit, you get all angry. I know you like her, just admit you're jealous-"
Syaoran lunged forward and grabbed hold of Jimbo's neck, crashing him onto the glass wall of the glass building.
"SYAORAN!" Exclaimed Sakura, eyes widening in shock.
"You wanna fight?" spat Syaoran.
"Sakura! Do you like this guy!" coughed out Jimbo from the tight grasp Syaoran had on him.
"What makes you think I'll answer that," said Sakura gritting her teeth.
"So then you can settle things with him, right now," coughed Jimbo casting a glare at Syaoran.
Syaoran glared back not releasing his hold.
"Do you like him or not! Do you like this jerk that keeps hurting you!"
Syaoran couldn't hold down his anger anymore He threw punches at Jimbo's face repeatedly. Sakura rushed forward gasping, pushing Syaoran aside making him stumble back.
"STOP IT SYAORAN!" shouted Sakura, making him take away his hand, angrily. "I don't like ANYONE. Every time I'm with you it feels like I'm suffocating! Every time I do something it's like I need to ask for your permission. Up to this point I've had enough! All I want to do is just get away from you and Clow 4 a bit, that's all. Please give me some space…Syaoran………"
Sakura looked at him with pleading emerald eyes. Syaoran stared at with sad, amber eyes that seemed to glisten it be tears?
"Let's go Sakura," said Jimbo still casting a glare at Syaoran while caressing his neck.
Sakura nodded and her and Jimbo turned to go.
"I love you."
Sakura stopped in her tracks and reeled around immediately, staring at Syaoran with immense shock written all over her face.
"I love you so much that even I'm surprised," continued Syaoran with a small hesitant laugh. "In my heart there's only you…."
"Stop talking trash Syaoran Li," snapped Jimbo with a snort.
"Sakura… I know I'm a jerk... But I need you to know that wherever you go or wherever you are, hell, timbaktu, nowhere or whatever…. I'll always follow you until I get to you…. And I need you to know ….that I really Love you………."
I can't believe it. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't hear it with my own ears... He really loves me…, Sakura thought.
"Let's go Sakura," said Jimbo again, rolling his eyes.
Sakura looked into Syaoran's amber eyes a last time before turning with Jimbo, walking out of sight.
Syaoran was left where he was, standing.
Alone.

Clow 3 were in the music auditorium, Eriol, Hiro and Shingo. Eriol and Hiro were in the seats where the audience would sit and Shingo was on stage holding a white board duster. Eriol had rang Syaoran's number trying to get to him. He gave a large frown trying for the last time.
"Shingo you haven't seen him?" asked Eriol hanging up when the message box popped up again.
"I haven't. I haven't seen Xiao Lang for about 2 or 3 days already," said Shingo wiping the board.
"Weird, he really has disappeared this time. I rang his home number and they say he isn't there. Maybe he went to the hotel or something. This is way too weird… Eh, do you think it's got anything to do with that magazine thing?" said Eriol scratching his chin.
Hiro bit his lip.
"Who was the guy that Sakura was working with? Jimbo isn't it? He's the guy that Xiao Lang bashed up…. If Xiao Lang saw the things in the mag. Do you think NOTHING would happen?" continued Eriol frowning deeply, not knowing it's already 'happened'.
Hiro looked up at Eriol who was on the sit on the top row from him, giving him a concerned look.
"I'm a bit worried about Cherry Blossom," Hiro said.
"Xiao Lang is always like that. Even us, his best friends, don't know what he's up to," said Shingo finishing off the board.
"Let's check the hotel?" said Eriol giving a sigh.
"Yeah," said Shingo and they all headed for the door.

Sakura walked to her locker and opened it. Her eyes widened when she saw what was inside. A red ribbon hang there. Her emotions immediately turned to sadness.
A red ribbon. That means….. Syaoran is saying good-bye to me, she thought. I honestly never knew I can hurt you…this much…Syaoran……….
Flashback
Syaoran cradled her to his chest.
If you say it's not true I'll believe you………
Syaoran wiped her cuts. Sakura stared.
Because I really………..really love you………….
Syaoran stared after her.
I love you and no matter where you go I'll find you……….I really Love You………
I Love You…
End of Flashback
Those words "I love you" kept going through Sakura's head. A tear went down her face, then another.
NO, those words…. His face like that…. It's ripping my heart apart, she thought has she cried.
"Look she's got a red ribbon!... Time to have some fun!" said some guy passing by.
Sakura gasped and quickly wiped away her tears. She whammed her locker shut and ran, hoping her thoughts were left behind there and not with her also.
Richie who was going to his locker, saw Sakura running right past him.
"Sakura? What the?" he said with his usual cute-confused-look.
"I'M BEING CHASED RICHIE!" shouted Sakura keeping up her running. Richie gasped at that and immediately followed her.
After running through the school, Richie helped Sakura hide behind a locker and cupboard gap. Where he usually hides when he gets chased.
"Those guys, they're idiots, getting all excited just because they saw the stupid red ribbon!" said Richie panting. He looked at Sakura intently then shyly asked, "Sakura…. do you like Jimbo?"
"What are you on about Richie?" said Sakura confused as ever.
"WHERE ARE THEY?" came the shout of one of the guys chasing them.
"They're gonna find us! Go, and run to the side doors I'll meet you there. I'll distract them!" said Richie.
"But Richie you'll get………" said Sakura looking at her good friend.
"GO!"
"OK," said Sakura getting up looking at him greatfully.
Richie leapt up and rushed right to the chasing guys.
"HEY! I found Sakura!" Richie yelled.
"Hey it's him!" said some of the guys running to him.
Sakura ran and didn't stop until she reached the side doors. She leaned on the door panting. Three guys approached her from the back, she turned around feeling the presence of someone behind her then gasped.
"What do you want!" she said to them her voice shaking, her body weak from all the running.
A guy took hold of her, putting a handkerchief to her face. She tried to scream but with a whiff of a strange smell she was falling. Falling. Falling. Right into darkness…………
