Part 1

The red-head had disappeared a few moments ago, leaving the body of a young man impaled with three swords, and little hope of survival. Sakura trembled as she stared at the amount of blood that covered the area. Falling to her knees, she realised that the newly impaled man was proberly the only one alive except for themelves. One hand reached out momentairily for the man, the other grasped the harsh ground beneath her.

Tomoyo was staring at the man, too. Her camera lay forgotten beside her leg, and she could only manage to lay her hand over her best friends in comfort for them both.

"Oi!"

Swiveling their heads around, a second young man ran into the clearing - falling onto his knees in grief and hope, as he reguarded the wounds and blood. Lifting the body slightly, The second man hefted the first for a moment, bringing the weapons out of the ground. This was met with a sharp gasp of pain that was barely heard from the first man.

"Syaoran?"

Lifting the brunettes head up, amber pools opened slightly.

The name, however, had brought the two eleven year olds back into reality. Standing up, Sakura pulled Tomoyo along shakily, moving towards the two men.

"Please... we.. we saw... but... I'm sorry...I..." Green eyes welled up as she reached them.

"It's alright. Everythings going to be fine," he looked at them, deep honey eyes surveying them sadly. "Help me set up a transportation spell. We can still save him."

Two hours later found the two girls wrapped in blankets and holding cups of hot lemon-water. It was surprisingly comforting, and helped calm them down. The young man had been taken to another area of the base, and there was a set commotion continuing around them as people moved about with a purpose.

The base itself was made up of a gross number of large green tents, that had been seperated off into areas with small coloured makings. The red represented the tactical wing, while the white represented the medical wing where the man had gone to. They had been brought to the blue wing which consisted of living quaters, that had the tent flaps held open during the 'day'. There were numerous other colours that they had passed, but they had not been informed of their use.

Tomoyo was watching the route to where the medical tents were set up, her mind buzzing with the previous proceedings.

The teleportation spell had been quickly set up, Sakura's power adding to the honey-eyed mans so that they landed softly just outside the tented area. The man 'Syaoran' had been whisked away by the second man, and a familiar looking woman had led them to where they now were.

"Sakura? Do you think... I mean, could he really be...?" Tomoyo was paler than usual, and her usual cheeriness was replaced with a saddend concern.

"I don't know. We need to speak to someone." The green-eyed Card Mistress sat, her eyes watching the different pathways for anyone who might pay some attention to them. She didn't have to wait long as a young teen with long black hair tied back in two buns stalked over to them.

"You two shouldn't be here. You can't be here," her flaming red eyes shone out at them, as she stood at least 5'6" tall.

"I'm sorry, but a woman told us to stay here, so we-"

"No. I meant in this time-stream," she sighed, taking a seat next to them.

"What? 'Time-stream'?"

"You're both eleven, tweleve right?" She watched them both as they nodded. Smiling, the red-eyed woman shook her head, this was the first time she had seen the two in almost three months, and they were from a different time-line.

"Wait.. Meiling? Is that you?" Tomoyo grinned, her colour coming back somewhat.

"Yes. I'm gorgous, right?" She joked, her laugh was very strained though which they both noticed.

"Beautiful! I bet your fan clubs huge," Sakura smiled.

"We need to get you two home. Soon if not now," Meiling said seriously. "You can't be here, and you can't know the things that are going to happen - or may happen."

"How can we get back? I don't even know how we got here," Sakura's eyes flickered over to the dirt path that led to the medical tent to see the honey-eyed man approaching them. "That was Syaoran-kun, wasn't it? Is he okay? Who was that man? How did Syaoran-kun not beat him?"

"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down. Eriol says he's gonna be fine. He just needs rest," the man answered, and small smile on his cute features. Meiling stood, watching him approach. "Meiling, its proberly best if you go talk to him. He won't sleep until you do."

"Okay. I'll do that now. Can you-? Thanks," She said relived when he nodded at her question. She kissed him as he passed, leaving those honey eyes sparkling slightly when she left. Sitting on the stool the red-eyed teen had previously occupied, he grinned at the two young girls.

"She's the best thing to happen to me. I just wish it had been under different circumstances," he said. Tomoyo was grinning filing this information away for when they got back - if they got back. "My name's Chaun, by the way. Ibuki Chaun."

"Syaoran?!"

Swiviling around, the young amber-eyed eleven year old was met with two very familiar looking teenagers. Fifthteen year old Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo stood in light armour in front of the old elementry school building. Syaoran's frown set in more firmly, and his suspican that things were going wrong had just been confirmed.

"Damnit."
