Scene Change

Existence

Chapter 13 Lost

Syaoran slowly awoke as he felt his body being dragged. Huh? What is going on? Syaoran watched as his body was slowly being pulled over a title pattern flooring. Where am I? Syaoran struggled a little bit, and when he did, he dropped to the floor. Or more accurately through the floor. He floated back up and glared at the stuffed animal that was moving him.

"Good you are awake, that means I don't have to drag you anymore." Kero answered after an exasperated sigh. "You pretty heavy you know that."

"What is going on? Where are we?" Syaoran asked deciding to ignore Kero's comments.

"The airport." Kero answered plainly, like it was no big deal.

Syaoran stared blanking back at Kero, while waiting for him to continue. When Syaoran realized that Kero wasn't going to say anymore he pressed further. "And why are we at an airport?"

"Apparently, Sakura, her cousin, and her boyfriend are going on a vacation or something." Kero replied uninterested. "Kame told me to put you on the plane they were going on. Why, I don't know. He promised me pudding if I did it."

Syaoran rolled his eyes. Figures. You would do anything for sweets and the like. "Kero someone is coming."

Kero went into stuffed animal mode, falling to the floor with a thump. Mounds of people passed by kicking Kero around with their feet as they walked. Expect one person, she stopped and picked Kero up.

"I'll name you Chau!" The girl exclaimed with a smile on her face.

Kero mouthed the words 'help me,' as the young girl ran off with him in her hands.

Syaoran let out a sigh and was about to head after the pair, when he noticed Sakura standing by a wall. Instantly all thoughts of saving Kero flew out of his head. She looks so lost and confused standing there all by herself. Where is the other me, and her cousin? Syaoran glanced around for his double, but he didn't see him anywhere. Did they leave you alone Sakura? He frowned as he stared at her face, she seemed worried for some reason. That was nasty of them. If I could; I would give my double and your cousin a punch in the face, for leaving you all by yourself.

He flew over to her and stared intently at her. Sakura what is wrong? Is something the matter? I wish I could help... It was at this time, that Syaoran noticed a hallway behind Sakura. Was that always there? I could have sworn she was standing next to a wall. Could this be the work of a Clow Card? And... Kero is gone just when I need him...just great...

Syaoran flew over Sakura and stood protectivly in front of her back. Whatever created this hallway. I'll protect you from it Sakura.

"Well... if it isn't Syaoran Li..." It was a male voice. He talked slowly and slurred almost every syllable, forcing Syaoran to listen careful to try and understand what was being spoken.

A figure slowly appeared coming out of the shadows. Instantly Syaoran could tell it wasn't human. The figure was tall, towering over Syaoran at twice his height. The figure had a dark grey circluar mask covering its face. The mask was covered in light blue lines and various symbols, Syaoran noticed a sun, a moon, a star, and a pentagram. A two-toned capewrapped around the figure's neck and down past what would be its knees, if it had them. The left side of the cape was black, while the right side was white. The figure floated off the ground like Syaoran could, and he had no lower half, possibly not even an upper half, since it was covered by the cape.

Syaoran's eyes turned into a cold glare when he remembered where he had seen this figure before. It had appeared in some of the pictures Kero showed of him of the Reapers. "What do you want!" Syaoran coldly spat. "I won't let you hurt Sakura!" Syaoran made his sword appeared and assumed a fighting stance to protect Sakura.

"Yes, that is a good expression." The figure laughed coldly. "Fierce, like a wolf baring its fangs."

"Who are you! Why are you here?"

"Grim." The figure answered, dully. "Taken from the germanic word for mask, 'grim.'"

"That is your name?" Syaoran questioned confused, yet he kept up his glare and posture refusing to show a sign of weakness.

"It is now." Grim answered. "At one time it wasn't my name. But, that was a long time ago, and it is a pointless story." Before Syaoran could say anything Girm laughed in a twisted tone. "Or maybe, I'm lying to you." Grim's laughter sounded like a cross between an insane clown and a villian from some anime or something similar.

"You haven't answered why you are here?" Syaoran decided to ignore the name issue, and get what he really wanted to know.

"Why are you here?" Grim parroted the question to Syaoran.

"Because Kero dragged me-"

Grim shook his mask telling Syaoran that wasn't what he meant, and he inturtupted Syaoran. "Why are you here?" He repeated the question. When Syaoran gave him a confused look and started to repeat his explainantion Grim went on. "Who are you? You're Syaoran Li, correct."

Syaoran nodded his head to Grim's question.

"Or are you?" Grim revealed a long gray arm, when he did though, Syaoran caught a glimpse of what was behind Grim's cape. Tweleve glowing pupils all of different sizes and colors stared back at Syaoran. Grim pointed behind Syaoran. "What do you call that then? Isn't that Syaoran Li?"

Syaoran didn't need to turn around to know what Grim was pointing at. "I am the real Syaoran Li!" Syaoran yelled furicously at Grim. "That is just a copy, that is taking my place!"

"Are you sure? How do you know you aren't the copy?" Grim's tone was low and mysterious. "What makes you; so sure you are the real, Syaoran Li?"

"Because I have my memories! So I know I'm the real Syaoran!" Syaoran was getting pissed off at Grim. Of course I'm the real Syaoran Li. I exist that proves it!

"Really?" Another vague answer in strange tone. "Well, from what I see, you seem like the copy." Grim bent forward and leaned in close to Syaoran; his mask staring into Syaoran's eyes. "What are you? You don't seem the same as those behind you. But, you are not the same as myself. What are you? Are you even human?"

Syaoran stood frozen. Girm's words had cut into him a like a knife. What... what... what is he talking about... What... does he mean...

Girm turned around and headed back into the darkness. "I came here to observe the witch. But, this was far more interesting." Girm turned around and glanced back at Syaoran. "Goodbye, Copy." And with that he began to laugh as he vanished in the darkness.

Me... The copy? No... that can't be... He must be lying. I refuse to believe it! I am Syaoran Li! Syaoran turned around and glared hatefully at his copy who was holding Sakura's hand. I am Syaoran Li! You are a fake that is stealing my life! You are just a worthless copy!

Sakura, Tomoyo, and Xiao-Lang stepped out of the taxi. "Look at this place!" Sakura cried out in excitement. "It is like a winter wonderland. What do you want to do first Tomoyo-chan, go skiing? Or maybe just sit in the lodge for while?" Sakura cried out pointing to the slopes and then to the ski resorts main building.

Tomoyo reached into her bag and pulled out her video camera. "Skiing. Sakura-chan will ski and I will film, Sakura in White Paradise." She cried out excitedly, pulling Sakura toward the slopes.

Sakura glanced back at her boyfriend and apologized for making him be the one to check them in and take their bags to their rooms. Xiao-Lang smiled lightly and shrugged, telling Sakura he didn't mind.

"It is too bad Naoko-chan couldn't come." Sakura said sadly, but she brightened up then. "Oh well, if it wasn't for her boyfriend having to return to work right away, we wouldn't have gotten the tickets."

Tomoyo set down the camera. "I've been thinking about that." She said to Sakura putting a finger on her chin thinking about it again. "If Naoko was coming here with her boyfriend, why did she have three plane tickets?"

"Hoe?" Sakura replied confused. She hadn't thought about that fact at all. "Maybe her boyfriend has a child or something?"

"Maybe." Tomoyo wondered. But she shook the thoughts from her head, there was no reason to think about such things. Getting suspicious of a friend of Sakura's was silly.

"What you are thinking is silly." Sword spoke to Tomoyo after hearing her thoughts. "For the simple reason that, if Naoko was trying to set Sakura up, she would have given her two tickets instead, so there would be no extra person. There is no reason for her to give Sakura three tickets. It is just a strange coincidence. No more, no less."

Tomoyo decided she had no choice but to agree with Sword. She couldn't think of any reason why Naoko would give Sakura three tickets. If she was trying to help Sakura and Xiao-Lang get closer she would have given her two tickets. Though Touya wouldn't have let Sakura come if I wouldn't have gone. Tomoyo smiled when she remembered how Sakura had begged her brother to allow her to go.

"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura called out. "I'm ready to ski now."

"Alright." Tomoyo yelled back, getting the video camera ready.

After filming Sakura skiing for a while Tomoyo and Sakura returned to the main building. Tomoyo went straight to her room to start editing the footage she shot, while Sakura and Xiao-Lang sat down in the lounge area by the fireplace.

Tomoyo dropped her camera bag after taking out all the important stuff. Four clow cards fell out of the bag, The Sword, The Erase, The Loop, and The Shield. Tomoyo hastily began to work on editing and enhancing the footage. Hours past, before Tomoyo was finally finished. That took longer than expected. Tomoyo stretched before leaving the room, going to find Sakura.

Tomoyo found the two of them by the fireplace. The grandfather clock next to the fireplace chimed as Tomoyo walked up to them.

"Sakura-chan do you want to go do something. I thought we could watch the footage I shot, or maybe do something else." Tomoyo smiled warmly at her cousin, as she spoke in an excited tone.

"No." Sakura coldly answered. "I want to stay with Xiao-Lang. I don't want to hang out with you."

The disc in Tomoyo's hand slipped and crashed on the floor. "W-What?" Tomoyo muttered.

"I don't want to hang out with you." Sakura repeated in a tone colder than ice.

Tomoyo couldn't stop the tear that streamed down her face, before she took off. Her heart was in more pieces than the disc had been shattered to. Tomoyo burst into her room and dove on the bed, bawling as she burried her face in the pillows.

Sakura-chan... Sakura-chan... Sakura-chan! She doesn't want to hang out with me anymore... She said she doesn't want to do anything with me...

Tomoyo couldn't stop crying, this was the worst pain she had ever felt. She felt like she was back inside her glass prison. Only this time, the prison was so tiny it was crushing her. Sakura-chan... Did- Did-Did I do something wrong... Can I fix our friendship somehow! I don't want you to leave me... Sakura-chan..

I feel so alone.

I'm completely alone.

"No you're not Tomoyo. You have us."

Tomoyo opened her eyes to see the four Clow Cards floating in front of her.

"We can about you Tomoyo. So please stop crying. We don't want you to appear this fragile. You are such a strong person."

Tomoyo embraced the four cards and brought them to her face. "Th-th-thank- thank you." But still Tomoyo couldn't stop crying. The cards could do nothing except watch as the tears ran down her face and then down their surfaces.

"Be careful Sakura." Xiao-Lang called out as he watched Sakura ski this way and that way.

Sakura reassured him she would be fine. As she childishing enjoyed herself. But she wasn't looking where she was going and accidently made a wrong turn throwing herself off a cliff.

"Sakura!" Xiao-Lang called out from the top of the cliff. "Are you ok?"

"I fell." Sakura laughed back.

Xiao-Lang let out a sigh of relief. If Sakura was joking around like that, she must not be too badly hurt. "Stay there. I'll find a way to get to you."

"Not like I have anything better to do." Sakura teased.

Sakura stared up at the falling snow, as the night started to set in. She hoped Xiao-Lang would find her soon. She was starting to get cold.

After some amount of time Sakura heard the sound of footsteps. Good he found a way to get to me. Sakura looked down, and was surprised to see that the person she heard was not her boyfriend, in fact it wasn't a guy at all. It was a woman with long white hair, in an ice colored dress. No-no-no-no-no-no way! It-it-it-it can't be. The Yu-yu-yu- Yuki-Onna! NO-no-no-no-no No! NO! Stay away! Wait... isn't the Yuki-Onna supposed to prey on men? NO Xiao-Lang! RUN! Don't come here!

Sakura trembled with fear as the woman stepped towards her. She got so scared that she suddenly fell face forward, fainting from the sheer terror going through her mind.

The woman stopped next to Sakura and bent down next to her. "You can't sleep here you will die." The woman spoke in a dull doll like tone. "I know. Allow me to open the seal on your magic. Your magic will be able to keep you alive until someone finds you." The woman placed her hand on Sakura's back and Sakura's body began to glow with a bright yellow light.

"What you are doing to Sakura!" Xiao-Lang shouted as he ran towards the two of them.

"I do not wish this child any harm." The woman replied taking step after step backward. "Goodbye." As she spoke those words a gust of snow enveloped her, and she vanished

"Witches..." Xiao-Lang muttered shaking his head, while he picked Sakura up. "Hang on Sakura. I'll get you to the lodge."

Xiao-Lang quickly ran back to the lodge grasping Sakura tight as if she might suddenly vanish any second. He tried to keep her as warm as possible, by pressing her as close to his body, so she could share his heat. He burst into the lodge and quickly cried out for someone to help him get Sakura to a bed.

"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried out, when she saw Xiao-Lang burst in. She ran towards Xiao-Lang, hoping her cousin was alright. "Sakura-chan! Li-kun, is going to be ok?"

"She'll be fine." Xiao-Lang replied firmly. "She'll will be."

Tomoyo was about to follow behind the two of them, but Sword stopped her. Eh? What was that?

"There is a one of my breathren nearby."

A Clow Card. Where is it? Tomoyo slowly scanned the room trying to find where the card was hiding.

"In the clock."

Tomoyo glanced around and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was around, luck was on her side. She reached into her pocket and took out The Sword card. She said a small chant and causing Sword to materialize in her hand.

She took out another card in threw it up into the air. "Become a binding prison that will force this card to return to its other form. Shield!" Tomoyo struck The Shield card with Sword. And a bright light wrapped around The Shield card.

Syaoran slowly floated toward the lodge. He was completely exhausted, he had dropped one of the Clow Cards he still had in Sakura's bag. And then he had taken off after the little girl who was holding Kero hostage. It took a lot of work to get Kero away from the girl. And now thanks to Kero's tracking ability, they had made it to where Sakura was at. He really just wanted to stop and rest now.

"Something is happening inside!" Kero yelled building up speed as headed toward the lodge. "Hurry!"

Syaoran groaned but followed behind Kero as fast as he could. He took out the key and the book, getting ready to fight if he need to.

The two of them burst into the room, just in time to see Tomoyo snag the card that appeared when it was sealed away by Shield. Kero gasped in horror as he noticed the name of the card.

"THIS IS HORRIBLY BAD!" He screamed as loud as he could manage.

"Damn it." Sword cursed when he realized why Kero was yelling. "Tomoyo! Quick, get ready for battle!"

But Sword's warning came too late, a large shockwave cut through the air sending Syaoran, Kero, and Tomoyo all flying into the walls of the room. Syaoran's hand opened when he hit the wall hard, and the key flew into one of the bags sitting in the loby.

I need to get that back quick! Syaoran quickly dove for the bag, but something stopped him. Tomoyo's scream cut through the room, and caused Syaoran to freeze. Syaoran glanced over to where Tomoyo had landed from the impact. But Tomoyo was gone. The floor in that area was gone, only a gaping black hole remained.

"Brat!" Kero flew over to Syaoran and started punching him lightly in the face. "We need to get out of here. Now!"

"We have to help her." Syaoran said running over to the hole.

"What! Are you crazy! She tried to kill you remember."

Syaoran nodded. "I know." He smiled at Kero. "But I still want to help her." And with those words said, he jumped down into the hole.

"I want extra pudding for this!" Kero cried out as he flew in after Syaoran. Libra and Wave... this is bad.

Feeling, a bit better now. Hence the update. I need to make up for those days I didn't update now.

Poor Libra and Wave, some of the most unused Clow Cards. So I just had to include them in this story.

Also if the German thing about Grim's name is wrong. I apologize, I just copied that information from 20,000 names. And while I tried to check it using Google Translate and the like. I'm not sure if I can trust it, for the one word I know in German was not correct. While this could simp ly be an error on the person who taught me the word, but seeing he knows some German, has German parents, etc. I think he is right.

Got hooked on storage wars. But still planning on updating in 1-3 days.
