Thank You for Caring
Chapter 12: Explanation & Bait

So here, we are, me and Syaoran, lying in his bed, all cuddled in each other's arms. We didn't really care about getting caught, since our mothers approved of us being together. Tomoyo agreed to sleep in the same room with Eriol, just for tonight, so that Syaoran and I could have one more night together.

:.:Eriol & Tomoyo's Room:.:
--3rd person P.O.V—

Tomoyo was giving Eriol the silent treatment, and avoiding him and eye contact at all cost.

"Tomoyo…" Eriol said, walking over the edge of the bed, where she was sitting, brushing her hair.

"Stay away from me" she said coldly, walking away from him into the bathroom, to apply moisturizer, which was a mistake, because as soon as she walked in, she was trapped.

"Tomoyo, please, let me explain…" Eriol began.

"Save it, it's obvious you were lying to me all those times you said you loved me" she said, looking at him, it was clear to the naked eye that she was on the verge of crying.

"No, I wasn't, I loved you, and still do…" he said but was once again interrupted.

"DON'T LIE TO ME ANYMORE! DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE LIED ENOUGH?" Tomoyo yelled, tears streaming down her face. "STOP LYING TO ME!" she yelled, repeatedly, pounding his chest with her small, gentle hands. He caught hands in the middle of her 4th time, and pulled her into a hug, cradling her upper body like it was the most precious thing in the word. "Stop lying to me…" she whispered.

"Shh… listen Tomoyo, your in danger if we're together okay? But as soon as I catch the guy, we can be together again and I'll love you more than ever, that is, if you still would want to." He felt her nod in his chest. They stood like that for a while, until he felt her full weight lean on him, he realized that she had fallen asleep. He picked her up bridal style, and carried her over her bed, tucking her in, pulling the covers to her chin, and then kiss her forehead good night. After he tucked some of her hair behind her ear, he turned to leave, but was stopped by someone holding onto his wrist.

"Stay with me… please.." she pleaded, with her eyes half open. He only smiled and nodded, and crawled into bed besides her. He wrapped both arms around her and pulled her closer, she leaned her head against his chest, and fell asleep in his arms, with him asleep in hers.

:.:NORMAL P.O.V in SAKURA'S ROOM:.:

"Syaoran?" I asked.

"Hmm..?"

"I just realize something"

"What is it?"

"If we find that guy who's after Tomoyo, we can get them back together, and we can stay like this." I said, when he heard her he sat up.

"What are you implying?" he asked with a raised eye brow.

"That we go find the guy and turn him in." I stated simply.

"And how do we do that?" he asked, lying back down, pulling me back into his arms.

"Lure, him here with Tomoyo." I said.

:.:NEXT DAY:.:

Syaoran and I were sitting on the couch watching the notebook, when Eriol & Tomoyo came in laughing, like nothing happened.

"Wow Eriol, your alive" Syaoran said, as they approached us.

"Haha, not only that but, I also got to sleep in the same bed as this beauty."

"Oh really?" I inquired.

"Yeah, he explained everything to me, and I understand." Tomoyo explained happily, "In fact, Syaoran, you don't have to share a room with Eriol"

"Wait, we didn't discuss this Tomoyo." Eriol said. "Sharing a room with me might be a dangerous… if you share a room with me, it obviously shows that there's something between us."

"No, I insist, besides, I won't get hurt, you'll protect me… won't you?"

"Of course I will, but I can't be with every second of the day" and that's how the argument continued until Tomoyo won.

"Hey, Sakura, now we don't have to go find the guy." Syaoran said happily.

"Yes we do, Tomoyo is still in danger."

"You guys are going to find the guy?" Tomoyo asked, taking a seat next to me. "How?"

"We're going to use you as bait so that when he comes for you, we'll catch him and turn him in." I explained.

"I don't like it, what if something really happens to Tomoyo. Why can't the bait be me?" Eriol said, stubbornly.

"Nothing will happen to me, relax. Besides, he obviously already knows that we love each other, so even if the bait was you he would still go after me." Tomoyo said, "So when do we do this?"

"This evening." Syaoran said. "This is what we do…"

:.:THAT EVENING:.:

Tomoyo sat on the porch on a rocking chair, reading a book, by herself. We were watching her from inside, on the couch by the window.

"We've been here for hours" Syaoran whined, "it's already 9:30"

"Yeah, maybe we should just go to sleep, and continue tomarrow." Eriol said in agreement. But just I was about to agree I say a dark figure walk along the beach towards Tomoyo.

"SHH!" I said and pointed to figure.
