Chapter seven

Li arrived at Sakura's house about two hours after he had met the bodyguard in the car park. He noticed another van outside the house.

"That must be Sakura's." he said aloud.

The bodyguard turned off the ignition, got out the van, and began walking down the path.

"Where are you going?" He called out.

The bodyguard waved and continued walking, soon she was a blur.

Syaoran shrugged and turned towards the house. A light was peeping through a small gap to the side of the door. It had been left open.

Syaoran panicked, he was standing outside, in his pyjamas, whilst there may be a murderer loose in the house. He dashed for the door, praying he wasn't about to see Sakura dead.

The door flew open, making a loud bang that seemed to echo round the silent house.

He stood in the hallway, listening carefully for any sounds. The silence was chilling, it seemed as though the whole world had come to a complete halt, and that nothing could live until Sakura was safe.

His breathing came ragged and hard, his heart pounding in his chest. This was a time for stealth he decided, if the murdered was still here, he didn't want them to be aware of Syaoran's presence. (Which was a bit late)

He crept up the stairs, silently and swiftly. Years of training had prepared him for this. This is what it all led up to. But not his Sakura, she was strong. She couldn't be dead, could she?

He walked along the corridor, he peered through each doorway, to be confronted with Touya's empty but very untidy bedroom, Fujitaka's pristine bedroom, a spotless bathroom, then a blinding pink.

Syaoran shielded his eyes, after realising that this must be Sakura's room, he removed his hand and opened his eyes.

There was a sleeping form on the bad. Her breath seemed drawn out, but the rhythm of her heavy breathing was comforting to Syaoran. At least she was alive. And, thankfully she was asleep so that she didn't see him in the ridiculous pyjamas.

He returned downstairs, outside and into the van. He picked up his suitcase and hauled it into the hallway. He paused for breath before heaving it upstairs and into Sakura's room. He put it at the end of the camper bed, set an alarm (so that he would be awake before Sakura, so that he didn't see the pyjamas) lay down, and fell into an uneasy sleep.

He was running with Sakura through a dense forest, several times he lost sight of her.

"Keep running Syaoran!" She urged him. Her eyes were pleading and desperate.

Syaoran's body was at its limit, he couldn't keep up with this pace, and he was dragging Sakura behind.

"No." He said.

"Syaoran please. Watery will drown you if you stay!"

"Leave, save yourself, I cannot go on. You will die if you remain with me."

Sakura burst out crying as she ran off into the distance, watery was soon upon him. He heard a scream. He felt an essence fade. Sakura was dead.
