Chapter 3

Darkness...pain...sorrow...emptiness...Those were the only emotions Sakura could feel. She had been the madman's prisoner for nineteen days now and had lost any hope she had held eight days ago. A single, clear tear made it's way down her face.

"Syaoran..." she whispered. "Where are you? Why haven't you come for me?" The tears rolled down her face faster and she began to sob brokenly as her heart continued to shatter into a million pieces.

Syaoran couldn't take it anymore. He just HAD to find Sakura! It also didn't help that Fred Hobodude was being way too calm about it.

"How can you just sit there when Sakura is in danger?!" he demanded of his traveling companion.

"'Cause we ain't gonna find her if we can't even think straight," replied Fred. "'Sides, we're gettin' closer. Any time now." Syaoran glared at him.

"I don't want to find Sakura 'any time now'! I want to find her now!" yelled Syaoran. "I need to find her now." As he leaned up against the wall, Syaoran closed his eyes and thought soley of Sakura. His heart broke with every ache of desire to hold her in his arms and protect her from life itself.

Touya stared at the picture of Sakura he held in his hand. He blinked back tears as he gazed at her smiling face.

"Sakura-Kaiju...Gomen ne," he whispered to the photo. "I failed you as a brother." Realizing a tear had just fallen on the picture of his beloved imouto, Touya quickly put the photo away and left the room.

Tomoyo stared into nothingness. Her mother was very worried about Tomoyo's health.

"Sakura-Chan...*snif* Now I can't tape you anymore..." she sobbed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Screams of pain could be heard for miles. Jack Page lifted the whip once again only to strike down on Sakura's back a tenth time. His grin got even more evil with every torured scream that escaped his young prisoner's lips--with every tear that dropped from her eyes.
Syaoran felt the tears fall from his eyes as he felt a sudden burning pain on his back and his heart broke even more. He'd been getting these pains every day now and he knew they were because of injuries Sakura was receiving.

'Sakura...I'll find you...'
