A/N: Hello again!

Chapter 7: Bang!

A few days had passed since the snake incident. Tomoyo had to call the police the second time that day, which surprised the police. They didn't expect to see what they did and now knew that something was up.

Ever since that day, Tomoyo has stayed in Sakura's home. She couldn't bear to sleep in her own home knowing that snakes had just crawled around in there. Later that week Sakura was up early and heading to the room Tomoyo was in. She knocked.

"Come in." Sakura entered to see Tomoyo up and dressed with a pile of papers on a desk in front of her and a pencil tucked behind her ear. She looked up at Tomoyo and smiled. "Good morning. You usually don't wake up this early on a Sunday. Something wrong?"

Sakura sat down on the bed and looked down sadly. "I just couldn't sleep, that's all."

Tomoyo's smile grew softer. She knew that her friend was worried about the most recent incident along with everything else that was to come. She got up and walked over to Sakura, holding her hand. "I think today's a good day to go to the mall. What do you think?"

Sakura smiled lightly. "I'll call Meiling."

"Wow, the malls here are huge just like at home!" The trio entered Tomoeda's mall and Meiling grinned. "I'm glad I got the chance to go with you two. Where are we going first?"

"I was thinking, that we could use this opportunity to get Tomoyo some new furniture and then get some more ideas for your wedding dresses," Sakura replied. They all thought it was a good idea, so they went shopping for furniture first.

"Well, I enjoyed myself today so far." Tomoyo took a bite of her salad. "Not only did I get some new furniture for my house, but I was able to get new ideas for my designs. You'll get to see them by next week Meiling."

"Glad to hear it." Meiling answered. They were having lunch in the food court at the mall. She sipped her drink. "I also noticed that you got some new designs for Sakura."

The emerald-eyed beauty groaned. "Don't remind me, please."

Tomoyo laughed. "Aw, come on Saku. It's not that bad." Sakura merely mumbled in reply.

Meiling grinned and stood up. "Well, we ought to get going. I noticed a shop we passed earlier that I want to see- She stopped suddenly as someone bumped into her and caused her to fall hard on the ground.

Sakura and Tomoyo jumped up immediately in response. "Are you alright?"

Before any of them could help, two guys walked up to Meiling. The shorter guy with lavender eyes held out his hand. "That was quite a fall you just took. Mind if I lend a hand?"

All she could do was nod as the man helped to pull her up. "Thank you very much."

He smiled. "It was my pleasure."

Tomoyo and Sakura eyed the two men suspiciously. The man with lavender eyes had dark coloured hair and wore a smile. The taller of the two gave the appearance of someone miserable. He had black hair and piercing red eyes.

"Sorry if I sound rude but…who are you two?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura simply continued to look at them.

The lavender eyed guy smiled. "The name's Minato. Tsuchi Minato." He pointed to the guy behind him. "His name is Hang Ryu."

Meiling held out her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you both." Sakura and Tomoyo still seemed a bit unsure.

Minato noticed this and laughed. "You two act as if we're about to kid nap your friend. Relax, nothing like that is going to happen." He smiled again. "It was nice meeting you all. Goodbye." Ryu nodded to show his recognition and they walked off.

"Well, they seemed nice. Especially Tsuchi." Meiling thought out loud.

"I don't trust them," Tomoyo stated.

Sakura agreed. "Me neither. I can't bring myself to trust every person I meet these days. You should be careful."

Meiling placed an arm around each girl. "I understand that. Not everyone is a bad person though. Sometimes, you just have to trust them. I don't think they were bad, believe me."

Tomoyo sighed. "Okay, I hope so."

A week had now passed and things were moving quite smoothly at the moment. Tomoyo moved back into her home. Most of the bridal outfits were already done and they were moving closer to the official date of the wedding.

The most important thing was there wasn't another incident since that day. Sakura was getting dressed to attend a wedding she had planned for that particular day. She along with Tomoyo and Eriol were going to leave really early just to make sure everything was just right.

She made a call to Tomoyo. "Hey, Tomoyo."

"Hi, Sakura. What is it?"

"I just remembered that I had an appointment with someone before the wedding."

"So early in the morning?"

Sakura put on her shoes. "They said this was the only time they could meet me. I'll be at the wedding in half an hour. I promise."

Tomoyo bit her lip. "Well…fine then. I should trust you by now. If you're not back in half an hour, I'm coming after you."

Sakura laughed. "Thank you so much. See you there." She hung up and picked up her bag to leave the house.

Sakura parked near the hotel, Knight's Castle, in which she was suppose to meet this person at eight in the morning. She entered the hotel but saw no one in lobby. After about ten minutes, she walked up to the receptionist's desk. "Excuse me ma'am. Is there a Ms. Kawa staying here? I was asked to meet her here."

The receptionist went into her files to check. A few minutes later she shook her head. "I'm sorry, Miss. There isn't anyone here with that name."

Sakura looked at her in surprise. "That's odd. I was told that such a person was staying here though."

The receptionist replied. "I'm sorry. It may have been someone playing a prank on you."

She sighed but smiled anyway. "Thank you very much." She left Knight's Castle. As she walked to the empty lot she pondered to herself. "That's odd, and to think I actually got a phone call from this person."

As she went to open her car she noticed a note attached to the windshield. She picked it up and read it. "'Things are getting boring. Nothing is happening and that's no fun. So I'm going to liven the game up with a bang.' What does it mean by that?"

Suddenly she went into another trance and as soon as she snapped out of it, her mind told her only one thing: run. She turned around and broke into a run kicking off her heels to give her speed. Shoes are never as important as your life. However as soon as she started to run a huge explosion was heard and she fell into darkness…

It was nine o'clock and Tomoyo and Eriol were getting very nervous. Tomoyo was pacing around nervously at the church where the wedding was about to be held. "What happened to her? I've given her more than enough time. It's been an hour! I knew I should've gone with her. I'm calling her right now." She stopped and rummaged in her purse for her phone.

At that exact moment, Eriol's cell phone started to ring. "Sakura, where are you? Tomoyo and I are so worried…yes…this is Hiirigizawa Eriol. Is there something wrong? What! At the hospital? I'm on my way right now. Thank you ma'am." He hung up his phone and took Tomoyo by the hand.

"Eriol, what happened? Who was that?" Tomoyo could see the fear in Eriol's eyes.

"It's Sakura. She's in the hospital."

"What?"

Eriol nodded sadly. "We need to leave now!"

Everything was pitch black around Sakura. Nothing could be seen. Suddenly random scenes started to appear in her mind. They were all in black and white and no sound could be heard.

The first scene was during the funeral of her mother. She stood amongst Eriol, Touya, and her father. As the coffin went down into the ground she clung to her father and cried her heart out. Sakura could merely whisper. "I don't want to see this."

Afterwards, other scenes ran through her mind. Seeing her father in tears and being in the hospital with Eriol after the incident. Tears started to fall from her eyes as the scene right before her mothers death appeared.

A motorbike with two people riding on it. Ice blue eyes stared right at her, cutting her breath in two. Suddenly a gunshot was heard and everything went black again. "No!" she screamed. "I don't want to see this! I don't want to see any of this!"

Then, light shone on a spot in the darkness and she gasped at who was there. It was Eriol, completely lifeless. He was on his knees. His eyes were blank and void of emotion. He was dead. Sakura tried to reach out towards Eriol when suddenly ice blue eyes gazed upon her mockingly again. She held her breath in fear as only one word was said.

"Die." A knife was brought down in lightening speed.

Sakura jumped up in fear out of her bed. "Sakura!" Eriol called out to her.

The hospital door burst open the exact moment with Touya and Fujitaka running inside. "Is she alright?" Touya asked.

Sakura didn't hear him though. She broke down into tears and slowly got louder and louder until she was screaming at the top of her lungs. Nothing mattered at the moment. She couldn't think of anything else other than the horrid moment she just had.

Immediately strong arms enveloped Sakura. Eriol held her closely to him and rocked her back and forth, hushing her. "Everything's alright, Saku. You're safe now and everyone's here. I'm here. Don't cry please."

Sakura calmed down after a few minutes and looked up to see Eriol's smiling face. "It's you," She whispered. "You're okay…Thank God you're okay." With that she passed out in Eriol's arms.

Everyone was silent as they observed what just happened. Eriol was in shock while holding his sister.

Touya was clearly angry. "Dad and I just spoke to the police who found this in Sakura's hand." He showed the note that Sakura read before the explosion. He crumpled the paper in his hand. "I want to know just what kind of sick game is this. Who's the person who started this game? When I find the person, they'll wish they were already dead. I want answers and I want them now!"

A/N: There's chapter 7. I hope it made sense and wasn't that bad. Thank you guys for all the reviews I've gotten so far. I hope I continue to get more. I'll update ASAP. Until next time!
