Across the Miles By Sibyl & Sofiana

A young man contentedly sipped his tea while looking amusedly at his companion, a black cat, reading the morning newspaper.

"Anything interesting today , Spinel-san?"

The cat lifted its head for a second and said, "Not really," before going back to his reading. Before the young man could ask the cat about Nakuru, she shows up in a frilly apron skipping towards them, long hair swaying from side to side. She then proceeds to pat the cat on its head (which earns her a baleful stare, which she ignores), then waves two letters and a package in her hand.

"It's from Sakura-chan and Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-sama!"

"Arigatou, Nakuru." He takes the letters and the package, and even Spinel puts down the newspaper to hear about the latest goings on with the Card Mistress and her best friend.

Dear Eriol-kun,

I'm so happy!!! We had math today and I was able to answer the exercises! I'm not so intimidated by math anymore since Syaoran tutored me over the phone. Isn't he smart? I knitted him a pair of socks. I don't think it turned out well though. He probably keeps them at the bottom of his drawer.

Please give my regards to Kaho-sensei, Nakuru-chan and Spinel-san!

Love,
Sakura ^_^

Hiiragizawa-san,

How are things in England? Everything is fine here - Sakura-chan is also fine. Do you know that Sakura-chan recently received a letter from Mizuki-sensei? She said she really enjoys her work on Asian studies there. Sakura-chan misses her a lot when she's not missing Li-kun - isn't she kawaii?

Knowing your penchant for keeping an eye out on everything, I am enclosing a video which I'm sure you'll enjoy. After all, great minds think alike : )

After watching the video, Eriol smiles and motions to Nakuru to bring him a pen and some paper. "I'm writing Sakura-san and Daidouji-san." He adds thoughtfully. "I'll also have to write Li Xiao Lang and give him a heads up, though. After all, he's still a relative." Nakuru pouts.

"But that was fun. Let's watch it again!" but Eriol shakes his head.

Nakuru sulks, and Eriol relents.

"Maybe on special occasions, then,"and Nakuru lets out a cheer.

@@@@@

Dear Sakura-san,

I am happy to hear you are doing well in Math already. Yes, I know Li Xiao Lang is smart - he takes after my side of the family. He is a little fuzzy sometimes, though, don't you agree? As for the socks, don't worry, I'm pretty sure he treasures it since it came from you - I have it from an unimpeachable source that he wears it all the time.

Kaho is working late today, but I'll be sure to give her your greetings. Nakuru and Spinel also send their love. Take care of your otousan, okay?

Eriol

Dear Daidouji-san,

It's a little cool here in London right now, but I'm enjoying what little sunshine there is here in my garden with Spinel and Nakuru. My class went to visit a textile factory yesterday, and I immediately thought of you. Too bad Sakura-san doesn't have too many adventures any more - but I'm sure you'll find a way to get her into costume.

Thank you for the letter and the video. I really enjoyed it. Painstaking research and attention to detail indicate the work of a genius. Take care of Sakura-san for me.

A twelve-year old girl in a cheongsam and pigtails runs up to her cousin in the midst of his sword practice. He promptly cuts his index finger and swears at her, but she ignores him and waves a letter at him.

"It's from England, from you know who..."

He frowns. "What does he want now?!?" he mutters as he tears open the envelope.

@@@@@

To my cute descendant Li Xiao Lang (curses, curses)

I won't bother with the greetings and I won't ask what's happening with you, because Sakura-san tells me everything already.

Being the dutiful ancestor that I am, I feel that it is my responsibility to dish out good advice, however unsolicited, to my cute little descendant (that's you, of course).

Have a care for Sakura-san's teddy bear. I'm pretty sure it was suffocated by your death grip on it last Sunday when Sakura-san called, I saw it on the video Daidouji-san sent me. (I didn't know she was THAT good). I swear, I think she even has spies for me here in England. (Hmm, how does she do it? I know I'm good, but even I could learn a few pointers from her.)

Hiiragizawa Eriol

Ps. You have nice bedroom socks. Did Sakura-san make that for you? I could tell by the little wings ^_^

@@@@@

Eyes wide, Syaoran immediately thinks, Daidouji! He splutters, dropping the letter.

"Bugs -- in my bedroom! Invasion of privacy! But Daidouji-san is in Tomoeda!"

At this point, Meiling tries to sneak away unnoticed, but fails. She runs away instead.

"MEILING, COME BACK HERE!!!"

@@@@@

Dear Tomoyo-chan,

I got busted. Syaoran was so cross with me today. He found out about the hidden cameras in his room and he made me take out everything except the one in Sakura-chan's teddy bear. Ohohoho... he doesn't know about that one. Please do not send anymore videos to Hiiragizawa-san. I think he still has lingering loyalties from his past life.

A brown-haired girl thoughtfully sat down on her bed, for once ignoring the yellow Plushie playing overtime on the game console. She had just got off from a call from Hongkong, and she was happy, but a little confused about it.

While she had been talking on the phone, her Onii-chan was glaring at her all the way to the kitchen, while his grey-haired best friend tried to restrain him from doing something drastic. Of course, she was once again oblivious to everything.

"I'll have to ask Yamazaki-kun tomorrow..."

@@@@@

Dear Eriol-kun,

Syaoran was acting so strange today. He kept muttering about bugs and invasion of privacy. I hate bugs! Are there lots of bugs in Hongkong? I wouldn't want to get them in my clothes. DEFINITELY an invasion of privacy. I asked Yamazaki-kun about it and he said something about bugs originally being aliens sent to spy on us humans. But when we invented insecticide, they forgot their mission and just crawled all over people's houses. Too bad I didn't hear the rest of the story. Chiharu-chan dragged him by his ears and said something like, "lies, lies, all lies!" Was it really?

Dear Sakura-san,

Yamazaki-kun was right. Bugs do have keen sight and hearing. Some unscrupulous humans take advantage of their abilities to spy on unsuspecting victims. You can ask Li-kun about it. Or better yet, Daidouji-san.
