AN: Hi, thanks to my seven reviews!

Summary: Kinomoto Sakura never expected to have to play prey when her new house catches on fire and kills her father and brother. Previously in her life, while she lived in America suspicious footprints and a pool of blood had left obvious evidence for the killing of her mother and twin sister, but no DNA was ever found on the scene, nor on her family members. Her new neighbor, Hiiragizawa Eriol, gives her a box that was accidentally mailed to him, and because of strange circumstances she finds strange pictures of innocent children who had died. Then she ends up living with Li Syaoran, the owner of the business that creates devices that can harm paranormal life and protect innocent people from the evil beyond the grave. What will happen in the adventures she has with him, and meanwhile where has Hiiragizawa taken her (other/adopted) sister, Tomoyo? Was it just a date after all? Aside from that, it seems like Syaoran knows too well about this 'Certain Eye Color can mean you are a ghost.' Business. And can Sakura have secrets of her own?

***Chapter 5: Eyes In The Night***

Childish-little Kinomoto Sakura fell asleep on Li's bed, but he didn't need it anyway. He couldn't even begin to sleep while intriguing thoughts of the interconnecting relationship between Sakura and Sakuya was so amazing to him that he just couldn't possibly sleep! He rushed down to his library and began researching much psychiatry between twins information. His books didn't specify anything, so he called the only psychic whom he could trust. His best friend, Hiiragizawa Eriol.

Eriol yawned as he answered his phone and spoke very slowly, "Moshi...Moshi...Syaoran-Kun, what do you want...?" Eriol said.

"Eriol-Kun, what do you know about the interconnecting bonds between twins?" Syaoran asked very quickly.
"Syaoran-Kun, I don't have time for any stupidity right now. Tomoyo is lying on my couch crying about how she has no family and doesn't know where Sakura is, and all I said was Sakura is safe with my friend and you will see her at school tomorrow. It's annoying, but she's so kawaii when she's sad."

"I bet you wouldn't be calling it stupid if it had to do with Sakuya-Chan." Syaoran asked. Eriol mentally slapped himself and then got very 'smart' over the phone, "Oh yeah...Sakura and Sakuya are twins..."

"Eriol-Kun, there's a lot you don't know. You wouldn't love Sakuya-Chan as much if you knew she was dead and possessed. I think because twins have that 'spiritual' connection and they each feel each other's pain, and since Sakura was against her twin's death so much, her heart died along with Sakuya's and then when Sakuya was reborn and got her new eyes, Sakura also got new eyes, but more with an angelic power, because twins can never be the same."

"New eyes? Syaoran-Kun, you should rest. Besides, we have school tomorrow and it's Tomoyo and Sakura's first day."

"Ja ne, then..." And then Eriol and Syaoran hung up, while Syaoran said, "God, he was no help at all."

Syaoran walked back to his room with a sleepy attitude. His eyes were foggy and his hair was even messier than usual. His eyelids hung over his dark-gold eyes and he plopped down on his bed. Than he turned to his side to get comfy and SAKURA was sleeping right next to him! She looked beautiful in her slumber; Like a princess on a tempurpedic mattress.
'She's already asleep, so nothing bad can happen, right...?' Syaoran thought as he turned away from Sakura and fell asleep.

***Eyes In the Night***

It felt like the best five minutes of sleep ever to Sakura. Forgetting what had happened in her first two days in Tomoeda, she casually yawned and stretched her arms, and then looked at the scenery around her.

"HOE! THERE'S A PERSON IN THIS BED! Oh wait..." Sakura trailed off as the man awoke and rubbed his eyes... "It's just Syaoran-San!" She said with sweat drop.

"Ugh...I stayed up too late. Oi, Sakura I have to go to school early and pick up your uniform. I'll be back in like five. Wei is making breakfast." Syaoran said as he went to the bathroom and changed into his own uniform.

"Arigato, Syaoran-San!" Sakura put on one of Syaoran's jackets because it got chilly as he left.

Honestly, the mansion was quite lonely. Sakura remembered the box that Eriol had given her.

"Oh no...the creepy pictures are in there! I forgot to ask Syaoran-San about those though..." Sakura thought.

"I'll have to just bring the box out and look at them myself." She said as she gulped some air down her throat. She looked round for the box and managed to find it. She opened it up to see not only the pictures, but the uniform that was required for entry in her school. She immediately called Syaoran and said, "Hey, there's a uniform in the box that I told you about a few days ago over the phone!"

Syaoran came home and then inspected the pictures, "And you're saying these were just lying around under some squeaky board in your house?" Syaoran asked with disbelief. Sakura pouted and reassured him that what she said was 100% true. He smiled and thought her pout was adorable, but then changed the topic. "Well, these people were definitely alive...let's see...there's a little girl named Hikari...another named Nuki, two girls in picture named Miyoku and Miyaki, and a boy named Misaki, oh and here's another one...There's no caption on this and the features of that figure are all blurry and stuff. It says they all lived in the house, but why are the pics gathered?" Syaoran finished.

"Isn't it a little creepy...?" Sakura asked.

"Well, uhh yes...but it's okay because nothing creepy has happened yet. Sakura...I have to suggest a comment to you..." Syaoran said.

Sakura gave him a suspicious look, "Yes?"

"I...well I'm not trying to accuse you of anything...but when your sister died, you said your heart basically broke...and I don't know if it's just me or anything...but twins are said to have a spiritual connection...so I was thinking you could be dead as well...well sort of...you're half alive and half dead...I see your eyes being translucent at times...so I think you're an angel." Syaoran said.

"Are you accusing me of being dead?" Sakura said stubbornly.

"No, I think you're an angel in a human body! I already know I'm a demi-devil." Syaoran said.

"Okay...I'm not dead...even I, the inexperienced ghost-buster knows that." She said with a charming giggle, which made Syaoran blush.

Sakura put her uniform on and the two went to school.

As she stepped out of the black Ferrari she had previously ridden in with Syaoran before, many "oohs" and "ahs" were heard. Some were from the boys, who were admiring the new student and being jealous of Syaoran, and others were from the girls, who were admiring Syaoran and being jealous of Sakura.

Sakura and Syaoran were oblivious to the fact that everyone was staring at them.

"Syaoran, why are they staring at me?"

"Maybe cause your new? I don't know." Syaoran acted as if it had never happened before. But in an honest sense, he was the most well-known guy around the school.

"Syaoran-San, will you take me to pick up my schedule? I don't know where I'm going..." Sakura said with a cheerful wink.

"Sure. But I can't say we'll have any classes together. Remember, I'm 17 and you're 15. We're a grade apart but they do things strangely here. If you're smart they'll put you in the gifted classes, i.e., with my grade. We'll still have homeroom together though because our last names are so close together. 'Kinomoto' and 'Li' are in the same alphabetical category." Syaoran finished.

"Syaoran-San, you're so smart!" Sakura blushed a little and Syaoran sweat dropped, which made Sakura giggle a bit from his cuteness.

***C A U G H T S T A R I N G***

Sakura looked at her schedule. She was in some of Syaoran's classes but not all of them... "I'm not that smart, but I'm in your P.E class and in your Physical Training Course. Plus we have homeroom, so yay!" Sakura giggled making Syaoran blush.

'I couldn't just tell her that the guys were looking at her because she's so attractive.' Syaoran thought while looking at her as they walked to homeroom.
