Disclaimer: I own Card Captor Sakura.
Syaoran: No you don't.

Chapter 4 Tomoyo
By Shiny K
In Syaoran's room Sakura felt a blush creeping on to her cheeks. Syaoran was sleeping peacefully, his pendant in his right hand just in case. 'He is so good looking! I don't know why that skank would try to kill him but... One day I will tell him the truth. '
Tomoyo
looked back in on the two, just in time to invade Sakura's
thoughts. 'Whoa, where did that come from? It's like Sakura's
thoughts are getting transferred into my head… That's because I
have magic. I've always been on top of things. This must be why!
I'm starting to sound like a kindergartener that has a new toy.
Wait till Sakura finds out! So, what am I going to do about her and
Li?'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Back at his home in London, Eriol sat at his computer contemplating over the email Tomoyo had just sent him two days prior.
Dear Eriol,
Because of this long distance thing, I don't think our relationship is going to work out. Everyday my love for you is growing weaker and weaker. I have actually found someone I am attracted to, and I didn't want to seem unfaithful, so I am telling you now. I am sorry for all this trouble. But, it's over...
Sincerely, Tomoyo
"How can she do this to me? I love her! I am going to America to win her back!..."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tomoyo went back to her room. She'd let them have their privacy.
Sakura couldn't bring herself to go back to her room and big fat teardrops rolled down her face. She was in shock of a sort and now she had time to dwell on what could have been. What if he had died.
Syaoran woke and looked at her. "What is it?" He asked with concern.
"I was so worried you were going to die!"
Li smiled at her and took her hand. "Well I'm fine."
"What are we going to do about Mandra?"
"I guess I will go find her and get to the bottom of this." he trailed off.
"We"
"Okay, we."
"But not now. Rest for now."
Li nodded and went back to sleep.
---------------------
Later that day Tomoyo walked into the little coffee shop. Sakura wanted a latte but she wanted to stay with Syaoran. Suddenly, her head felt like it was going to explode.
"All the voices!" She cried out "Sakura!" Tomoyo crumpled to a heap on the floor. People gathered around to try and help her.
------------------------
Syaoran awoke with a start. He looked around the room. Sakura was still there, sitting now not on the corner of his bed but sleeping peacefully in his been bag in the corner. If he went now, he could go alone.
Li quietly closed his bedroom door. Where to start? Well, doubtful she'd be in her room, but she wasn't the brightest and it might turn up clues.
Syaoran entered her suite. It was another one set up like his. Three separate bedrooms with one combined living room and kitchen. Her suite mates were home. One was watching tv but recognized him.
"I don't think Mandra's here."
"That's okay, I came to get some stuff."
The girl nodded, returning to her room. Syaoran was grateful, because her door would most likely be locked and he might make some noise. Coming to her room, the knob was locked. Taking out a ward paper, he made sure the hallway was empty and blew it open as quietly as magically possible. Her suitemate was right, she wasn't here.
He entered and saw neatness Mandra did not posses. The sheets were folded back perfectly, the windows crystal clear, and after a quick inspection, neatly folded jeans and boxers in the drawers. Boxers! What is she doing, hiding a guy in her apartment? This is freaky, x-fileish even. He continued to search the apartment and found more evidence of a guy. A razor, a wallet with a D on it, and a bottle of men's cologne. 'She was cheating on me! Sakura was right… ' He sat racking his brain for guys with names that start with D's. No one.
Next he searched her closets and found a box of pictures. 'What in the world?' There were pictures of all three of them. Him, Sakura, and even Tomoyo. Them in class, Walking back from campus. Li went through her drawers and found more pictures. One with Tomoyo with a guy, though Syaoran didn't know him.
He dropped the next picture, covering his eyes. It was a sketch of Tomoyo in the shower? Is Mandra obsessed? Then he took a look around the rest of the room.
Satisfied he'd found everything, Syaoran walked back toward the door. It wasn't too beat up too bad. It had still closed. Li was about to swing it wide open when he felt someone magical coming his way. Li muffled a curse, locked the beaten door, and ran towards the window. Not good. Yes he needed to get to the bottom of this, but they probably believed he was dead and that could be used to his advantage. He needed time.
Syaoran quietly crept to the window and climbed up the fire escape to the roof before whoever was coming knew someone had been there.
-----------------------
Sakura was still asleep in the beanbag when a banging on the door jolted her awake. Where was Syaoran? She was still in his room. I bet he went after her without me.
The door called again and she opened it to find a very disheveled Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo! What in the world happened to you? You look like you've been out all night." 'Good grief she looks rough. I wonder if her and Donny had a fight…'
"Thanks a lot."
"What are you talking about?"
"You think I look rough?" Tomoyo surveyed her from head to toe.
"How do you know?"
"I read your mind!"
"Ha ha very funny." she said sarcastically. "You don't have any magic or Li would know."
"No! Seriously! I have some power. It just kicked on high recently. I don't know when it got so massive, but I do! That's why 'I look rough', as you so eloquently thought it."
"Tomoyo, this is amazing! But why does it make you look rough?"
"I can hear EVERYONE'S thoughts. It's killing me. I can walk in a silent room and be bombarded with loudness. And the stupid things people think. Stick thin girls thinking "Oh I'm so fat!" "My hair looks awful." "Is he cheating on me?" "Does she know I'm cheating on her?"…"
"Sorry, Tomoyo, I'll try to keep my mind as blank as possible…"
"It's not so bad with you. But I do know a few things I didn't before."
"Like what?"
"If I told you I'd have to kill you."
"I hate it when people say that! They bring up things they aren't supposed to tell you, then you end up questioning them for hours on end, then go back to the person it's about and confide in them, then everyone's screwed!"
"Sakura, chill! You're giving me a headache."
"Are they a boy or girl?"
"Sakura…"
"Well!"
"Boy."
"Are they a sophomore like us?"
"YES! NOW SHUTUP! I'M NOT AUTHORIZED TO TELL YOU THIS!"
"What, will it jeopardize the persons professional position?"
"What in the world?…"
"Sorry flashback…"
"Okay. Not going to' ask."
"Okay well, in due time you'll tell me right?"
"Hopefully you will find out soon enough." she murmured with a wink. Syaoran would have to come to his own conclusions, though she did feel him freak out and worry about Sakura, then run from Mandra's suite. She laughed at his haste.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." Tomoyo said sounding exasperated. "Lets go out to the park. You know the place where no one else goes."
"Your head." she said sympathetically, walking out the door behind Tomoyo. "But I have to find Syaoran."
"He's fine I promise. He's on the roof."
"He
is?" Sakura said baffled as Tomoyo dragged her
after.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syaoran sat perched on the roof. Whoever had magic wasn't a threat, he could feel it. If he didn't know better, he'd say it felt familiar. Like Tomoyo. He was about to go back down when he saw the boy with Tomoyo in the picture enter his building. Evil radiated from him. So, he was "D" perhaps? "Donny" Syaoran remembered finally as Sakura and Tomoyo exited the other side. What does he have to do with this?
"Holy Cow!" Syaoran murmured. Watching Donny methodically move about Mandra's place checking for whoever blew the door down to Mandra's apartment kind of creped him out. But why would he come here? He definitely is behind this!
Syaoran punched his hand and crawled back down the landing. Sakura was safe elsewhere, he'd deal with this guy now.
"Hey, what are you doing here and why are you still alive!"
"Nice greeting Don. I'm here because Sakura foiled your "evil plot" and came and saved me."
"She would…"
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't it obvious to you the girl is in love with you? If not you must be blind. You were so wrapped up in Mandra, you totally forgot about your first love."
"What do you know about love? You're just some evil villain trying to capture the Sakura Cards!"
"Me, I know plenty about love. Haven't you seen my Tomoyo shrine?"
"Yeah, kinda creepy…"
"Well, now you know."
Syaoran took a fighting stance.
"Are you prepared to protect her? Forever?"
"I am. Bring it."
Donny shook his head.
"Are you a chicken?"
Donny scoffed. "I don't have time for you, but we will meet again soon. And we will see if what you are made of. Different forms every time. Expect one very soon…" Then he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Not much of a fighter." After it cleared Syaoran looked around then walked in the hallway. He saw Sakura running towards him.
"What is it Sakura? I saw you leave. What's wrong!"
"You have to hurry!" she replied, her voice trembling. "They've got Tomoyo."
"Who?"
"Donny and some people. They just grabbed her in a van and took off. I followed them with the jump card. Then I saw them in the warehouse, but there are too many men, so I came to get some help." she looked at him with shimmering eyes.
He nearly bent down to kiss her when he remembered the situation.
She took off and yelled behind her, "Come on!"
When they got to the building Li gently pushed Sakura behind her as the walked in. He could tell she was nervous. Fighting people was more his arena than hers. Syaoran looked around. Sakura made to pass him and he pulled her back. Pointing ahead he showed her the least guarded route that lead upstairs. Sakura nodded.
The two had little fuss making their way up. Syaoran kicked a few before Sakura put the rest to sleep.
"Why didn't you do that to begin with?"
"I always forget about it I guess." She giggled nervously.
"Well stay close."
There was only a single room in the open warehouse. She wasn't anywhere else to be found. Syaoran kicked it in. Darkness. Then a light flickered on Tomoyo sat in the middle of the room.
"Are you okay?"
She nodded
"Have you seen Donny?"
Tomoyo's face grotesquely stretched and turned, then formed Donny's. "Who me?"
Syaoran charged in the room roaring but Donnie was quicker and a blast exploded between the two card captors. Sakura was blown backwards, Syaoran forward. The door slammed shut.
