Chapter 1

It was a normal day in Tomoeda . . . too normal. At least something unusual occur everyday, but that day was just too peaceful. It was peacefully disturbing to Hiiragizawa Eriol.

Sakura-chan is late . . . again. Li-kun just glared at me . . . again. Tomoyo wanted to make costumes . . . again. Meilin fought with Keroberus . . . again. Yamazaki just told a lie . . . again. Chiharu strangled him . . . again. Why does this seem a wee bit too normal?

These thoughts revolved around Eriol's brain for the whole day in school. Although everything seemed fine (too fine), there was an ominous aura in the air. He was deep in thought that he didn't see the low branch right before him until it was too late. WHACK! He fell unconcious.

"Eriol-kun! Eriol-kun! Are you all right Eriol-kun?" a voice from beyond rang in the boy's ears. Feeling the warmth of conscious thought, he carefully opened his heavy eyes to the blinding sunlight. After his blurred vision cleared, a flash of honey-gold told him that Sakura-chan was trying to wake him up.

He rubbed his eyes and his throbbing head to see Li, Meilin, Yamazaki, Chiharu, Naoko and Rika with her. They were peering curiously at the disgruntled magician.

Much to his dismay, Syaoran laughed. "That was great Hiiragizawa. Next time you do that again, remind me to bring a camera for future blackmail."

Sakura hit Syaoran lightly on the arm. "Syaoran-kun, don't tease poor Eriol. He already got hit by the branch," she said solemnly as the others started to laugh.

"What happened?" Eriol asked as the laughter subsided.

"You tell us," answered Rika who was obviously trying to stop her giggles. "We found here on the floor just a minute ago and now you're lying on Tomoyo."

Eriol blushed slightly, to the amusement of the others. It was, in fact, not true. His head was only being cradled on Tomoyo's lap, but they didn't find it important to tell that to Hiiragizawa. As he stood up, he noticed that the sun has already set and it was completely dark besides the lamppost next to them. No one seemed to be around.

"Why are you out here?" the magician finally asked, hoping that his friends would soon forget about whatever happened. He doubted that his plan would work, but to his surprise, it did. All of their faces turned grave and serious all of the sudden.

There was silence and the far off wind sounded in Eriol's ears. This is just too strange, he thought.

Chiharu coughed slightly and turned to him with a face filled with horror. "There is no one in Tomoeda. No one but us."

A/N: Hehehe. This is just too weird. I played some morbid game in the playstation with my friend and it inspired me to write this. Just so you know, this was also inspired by an episode of the pathetic show, Boy meets World.

A/N: Here is a disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with CCS. If I did, I'd be a millionaire by now. Thanks. Bits and pieces of the plot came from various sources, but the whole concoction of the demented story is my own.
