AN and Summary: This is an EXS Story. Yes, I like Eriol and Sakura. I do believe they were meant to be. And No, Eriol is not half her father. A soul changes through time. It changes and molds into new people. You are not the same person you were five years ago. Oh and I know I spelt Syaoran's name wrong…Um…I'll have that fixed in the other chapters, Okay?
As far as this story goes, it's been five years since the last CCS movie and Sakura and Sayoran have broken up, and moved on. Sakura has just finished High School and is ready to go to College. Yueh and Yukito have different bodies since Sakura has begun to perform her own magick. She has been getting stronger and even started on making new cards.
Tomoyo and Sakura are still the best of friends, even if she dating her best friend's ex. Tomoyo has started design school, though she does have the backing of her mother's toy company. She and the little wolf are very happy.
Eriol and Kaho are no longer, and Kaho is happily married. Eriol still lives in England and has Ruby and Spinel. He is currently enrolled in Oxford. He talks with Yueh and Kero from time to time to see how everyone is, especially Sakura.
Ruby is still pining after Touya, and is her usually self, though she does have more of a serious side.
Kero and Spinel are online friends, and talk frequently over Eriol and Sakura.
Yueh stays with Sakura in her little apartment with Kero. The three are very happy, and often go out, though it's hard to disguise Yueh's handsome face. Sakura also often talks with the spirits of the card, who now have been talking back.
So the Story will take place with Eriol first.
Under The Sun, Moon and Stars
Chapter 1: Dreaming
The dark night fell over the large mansion of Eriol Hirragizawa. His eyes were perfectly closed, his dark lashes almost touching his cheeks as he began to sleep…
"Fei Ming, What are you going?" Eriol could hear a voice. A very distant voice, which sounded almost like his own. He looked around the room, seeing the old fashion Chinese walls.
"I chan't keep coming here. They will kill us," responded a female voice. 'Sakura?' Eriol called out, thinking it had to be her. He reached out, but felt himself go through the wall. He looked, seeing the back of a head, covered in a white cloak. He looked over them, seeing Clow Reed, glaring down in anger. 'What?! Its…Is this…a lost memory?' he questioned, watching them.
'Then Leave with me. Leave with us. Yueh is still growing stronger. He needs us, as does Keroberos!! Fei Ming, you can't just keep doing this to me...!!"He yelled, reaching out to grasp the person. When he did, Eriol could see long black hair fall.
'So it isn't Sakura...' he said, wondering if it was Kaho's past self. He looked at his old self. He was starting to look like him. Eriol's eyes were turning that soft grey blue color. Though Eriol kept his ponytail short, to try and keep from that old look.
"I…I don't know what to do, Clow…" the Lady called, holding him. She was wearing a white Chinese dress, though it had long sleeves. Her eyes were closed, and she held his close. A door creaked, and the three of them turned. It was a younger Yueh. He looked like he was five.
'I remember. I had to start from scratch with Yueh, since it was a human like body, unlike Ruby and Spinel…'but Eriol was cut short. After Yueh came a three year old Ruby, who had a bad case of bed head. 'What…? How can this be….Am I missing something?' he questioned, looking at the two of them.
"Ruby…Yueh…did we wake you?" 'Fei Ming' asked, now kneeling in front of them. Little Yueh nodded, as Ruby grasped onto his long white wrap. (AN: They wear their outfits when they are old when they were young too, it just happened to be shorter and cuter.) "I'm sorry, that would be my fault…" she smiled softly, kissing both of their heads. As she talked to them, Eriol noticed Clow looking at him.
'Can you see me?' He asked, and Clow walked past him, rather than through him. He followed him to where he noticed little Kero and Spinel sleeping in his old chair. They were small as well, though Spinel was slightly smaller than Kero. Eriol kept following him to a door. Through the door was Clow's room. Eriol stood, looking at the large mirror. He couldn't see his reflection, but he saw that Fei Ming was coming. She smiled softly, her eyes closed. She walked over to Clow, who was standing at the mirror with Eriol.
"Would you really take me to Japan with you?" she asked, holding him from behind.
"Yes, I would. Besides, Yueh, Ruby, Kero and Spinel would hate it if their other creator wouldn't come with…."He said, and she smiled, looking.
Eriol gasped looking at her eyes. They were a beautiful, familiar shade of…
Sakura Kinomoto woke up one sunny afternoon, after taking her nap. She had gotten back from shopping with Tomoyo when she just felt very sleepy. Her auburn hair was in her face when her eyes opened to the sound of Kero and Yueh. She crawled off the couch, walking into her kitchen.
"She'll like brownies better!!" Kero shouted at Yueh who was trying to make angel food cake.
"She needs something that isn't too sweet. Calm down or you'll…Oh, hello mistress," Yueh nodded his head to her.
"Yo, Sakura!! Tell Yueh you would like brownies better!" Kero flew over to her. She laughed, her hands clasped together to catch him. She snuggled with her cute guardian and shook her head.
"I would love a strawberry short cake. Besides, don't you two remember that today is when Touya-nii-san, Yukito-san and Dad are coming over? So we have to make dinner," she smiled. Yueh and Kero nodded. "Since Yueh is making dessert, Kero what would you like to have?"
"It's my choice? Hmmm, how about meatloaf with carrots?" he asked as she opened up the freezer. Sakura nodded as Yueh began to heat up the stove for her. Sakura had gotten use to Yueh doing most of the work, but she was still working on her name. "Hey, Sakura, Spinel-san told me Hirragizawa-sama has been having some weird dreams. Have you?" he asked, now getting out the mixing bowl for the meatloaf.
"Iie, why?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. Yueh began to pour the batter into the proper pan. His silvery eyes looked off, as though he had something to say. Sakura looked at him, but he just shook his head.
"It's nothing, mistress," he said. Sakura pouted, and he nodded his head. "I mean, Sakura-san. I have also noticed Kero-san, that you and Spinel seem to finally be getting along."
"Yeah, so what about it?" he asked, handing Sakura one of the spices she uses.
"Are you helping them out so they can control Sakura's Magick?" he asked, his eyes narrowed. Kero began to yell as Sakura just mixed her meat. She was use to it. Yueh didn't like Eriol. Sakura thought because he still felt betrayed by him.
Ring, Ring, Ring!!
"I've got it…"Sakura said, picking up the phone. "Hello, this is Kinomoto Sakura speaking," she said.
"Moshi-Moshi Sakura-chan!!" came the ever familiar sound of Tomoyo.
"Moshi-Moshi Tomoyo-chan. How are you?" she asked, smiling. She brought the cordless phone with her. She smiled and motioned for Kero and Yueh to leave the room they left, both knowing only two people made her do that, and one of them never called, except his monthly check-up on her.
"I'm fine. Listen, they're holding a modeling contest for my school, and I entered you, alright?" Sakura just breathed in and told her it was fine. Tomoyo was trying to find her a job, since Sakura told her father she would pay for her college. Sakura didn't mind having odd jobs, since it was a way to keep her magick use up. Eriol had once told her if she didn't keep using her magick regularly, the cards would no longer listen to her. "I'm going to pick out your outfit, okay? I'll come by tomorrow."
"Alright, Tomoyo. Anyway, I have to let you go. Onii-chan and Dad are going to be here, since I just finished up my latest odd job. Alright….yes, I'll tell you all about it. What? Oh, it just had to do with house cleaning and stuff. You'd be amazed at the stuff that lady had in her closet. Alright, see ya. Yup. Ja!" Sakura hung up with her friend, and began to put the meat into the bread pan.
"Sakura-san, may we come in now?" Kero asked and Sakura nodded. "So, what did Tomoyo want?"
"Oh, just to tell me that she entered me into a modeling contest. She's been trying to get me a job, but if I start school next semester, I won't have time for a job," she sighed as Yueh put in the meatloaf and Angel food cake for her. She sat on one of the stools used in her kitchen. Sakura, Yueh and Kero had moved into the two room apartment after she was done with high school. Sakura took the Master bed room only after Yueh and Kero both insisted that she deserved it. The kitchen itself was only 9' by 7', and it had a bar counter above the sink. Sakura rested her head on her arm. She missed hanging out with Tomoyo and Sayoran. Things were kind of awkward, since Tomoyo and Sayoran got together senior year. They were Prom King and Queen, and voted most likely to get married. Sakura felt so out of place when she was with them.
"Mist- I mean, Sakura-san, is something wrong?" Yueh asked, his soft voice was so kind that Sakura just smiled.
"I was just thinking, that's all. You know what? I need to cut my hair. It's gotten so long, I'm starting to think I'll end up my like my mom, though it's not in the least bit wavy," she laughed, playing with her hair. It had grown to the small of her back. Sakura usually had it up in a pony tail, but today Tomoyo had insisted she let it down.
"I think it's very lovely as it is," Yueh said and Kero nodded. Sakura smiled, loving how it was always better when they were near. As Yueh and Kero took out the food, the door bell rang, which lead to the three men coming into her apartment.
"Hey Dad!" Sakura hugged her father tightly, who gave her a big squeeze in return. Yueh and Yukito looked at each other. It was still very odd seeing the other. Sakura lead them to her new small table, which had only four seats. Sakura grabbed an extra stool for herself, letting the four men and Kero have the other seats. She stood, passing out the food.
"So monster, how well did the last job pay?" Touya asked as she handed him his plate.
"Well, it paid for the next three month's rent plus I got some new clothes, and enough to get your birthday present," she said, after kicking his foot for the monster comment.
"You what?!" Touya looked at her. "You could be using that money for college!!" Yukito tried settling down his lover as Sakura backed up a few feet. Yueh and Kero looked at each other. The first time Touya and Sakura had the yelling bit, Yueh was ready to kill Touya, even though Yukito was out. It took time to get use to it, but Kero and Yueh were always ready should Touya blow his top.
"Well, I thought you might like it, and besides, I put away money for college too. Oh, by the way, Tomoyo put me in a modeling contest."
"Really? That's cool. Your mother was a great model, but you know that, since we both have pictures of her," her father laughed. (AN: I forgot his real name! Sorry VV;)
"I'm hoping to just model for the summer and then have enough to go to college, like mom was going to do," Sakura smiled, as Yukito eased Touya into a smile. It was normal for them.
Sakura waved by to her family, as Yueh and Kero put away what dishes Touya and Yukito washed. "We'll see you at the house next week right?" her dad asked and she nodded.
"Yup. I'll be looking for a new job this week," Sakura hugged them all and went back inside, putting on her pink and white house slippers. Yueh wasn't forced to wear them, though she did have a pair for whenever his almost bear feet were cold. "Well, that went better than I thought. Touya does need to calm down a little more. What did you guys think of the meal?"
"It was great! Who knew Yueh could make a good dessert?" Kero asked.
"You do know. I've always made the desserts," Yueh scoffed at Kero. Kero glared at him, and Sakura just sighed. Yes, same old, same old.
"I'll just go take a shower," she said and Yueh and Kero nodded. She did that when she needed to be away from them. Sakura walked into her bathroom happily, undressing from her bell bottom pants, and taking off the white and blue shirt. She undid the ribbon in her hair. She washed her body as she let the tub fill up with hot water. She stepped in, looking at the water. She smiled, seeing herself. She was getting better since she had lost Sayoran. Looking into the water, Sakura blinked. Why was Eriol's face in her water? She shook her head. "No, I'm not falling for someone I haven't see in three years!!" she yelled at herself.
"So, you don't love me?" the familiar voice laughed.
"Huh? Eriol?!" Sakura looked at the reflection.
"Sakura, we need to talk."
AN: I'm all done here. I'll be continuing really soon. No worries. I hope you enjoyed it so far. I will add more on what has happened in the past few years, so don't you leave the Story yet!
