"It was nice seeing you again, Sonomi-san!" Sakura yelled from the gate. Sonomi waved at them.
"Have a good time," Sonomi said from the door. They all waved back at Tomoyo's mother before getting into Tomoyo's limo.
"I'm so excited about seeing Eriol-kun and everyone else again," Sakura said jumping up and down. Her seat belt prevented her from jumping too high.
"I heard they got a new house, is that right?" Syaoran asked. Sakura nodded.
"Since they built that theme park over it, they had to find a new house to live in. He said it was close to the school and around Tomoyo-chan's house."
"Of course he would have the money to buy something like Tomoyo's house," Kero said coming out of the bag and stretching.
"Kero-chan! Get back in the bag, what if someone sees you?" Sakura said.
"Don't worry, there's no way anyone will see him through the windows as long as they're closed," Tomoyo assured her friend.
"Well alright. But get back in the bag once we get to the airport."
"But it's hot in there and I can't breathe. Can't I just stay out and pretend I'm a stuffed animal?" Kero asked hopefully.
"Yeah, let him out, Sakura. It's not like he has to pretend at all," Syaoran said, smirking.
Kero just threw him a death glare.
"You're just jealous cuz I'm cute and Sakura-chan will get to hold me," Kero countered.
"I don't have to be jealous of you. At least I can hold her," Syaoran said, pulling Sakura close.
"Yeah, but don't deny that you want her to cuddle with you for once while she sleeps like she does with me since I'm nice and fluffy and soft. If you figured out your feelings when we were switched by the Change Card I bet you wouldn't have minded it. I think you would enjoy every second of it if it happened again." Syaoran blushed at his statement.
"What? It's not—I didn't— That's not it!" Sakura stared at Syaoran with a confused look.
"What's not it?" she asked innocently.
"I-it's nothing," he said, turning his face away from her to hide his blush. Tomoyo giggled the couple in front of her behind her camcorder.
"You two never change. It's so kawaii!"
"T-Tomoyo-chan please turn it off!" Sakura said, waving her hands.
"Oh, but my dear Sakura-chan, I would have thought you'd have gotten used to this by now," Tomoyo said, making a close up on Sakura's blushing face. "You're so cute when you're embarrassed, Sakura-chan," she said with twinkles in her eyes.
"Hey, Tomoyo! Did you get me on tape?" Kero said flying to Tomoyo.
"Sure did. Wanna see it?" Tomoyo said smiling and stopped recording.
"Yes please!" Kero said, landing on Tomoyo's lap to see the tiny screen while she got the video ready.
"You never change either, Daidouji-san," Syaoran said with a smile. Tomoyo blushed and looked down on the screen and pressed play.
"Hey I look good! Of course that's no surprise," Kero commented, and everyone laughed lightly.
"Daidouji-sama, we've arrived at the airport," informed her driver through the intercom.
"Thank you. Please wait here until we get back. You can open a window but turn off the car to save energy," Tomoyo said, pausing the camera and getting it ready to film again.
"Of course, Daidouji-sama. Would you like an escort inside?"
"No thanks. I think we're good," she said unbuckling her seat belt and opening the door to get out. Everyone did the same and followed Tomoyo out. Kero glided to Sakura's outstretched hand before making is impression.
"We'll be right back," Tomoyo called one last time before closing the door. They all walked inside and waited in the lobby as they started to search for a familiar face.
"Sakura-chan!"
"Hoe?" Sakura barely had time to turn around before someone threw themselves at her.
"Don't you remember me, Sakura-chan?" The person said giving her a little room to see her face.
"Nakuru-chan!" Sakura said, smiling.
"Yup!" She pulled Sakura into another tight hug. "Wow, you've sure grown. How have you been? And how is Touya?"
Sakura's responses were muffled since Nakuru had pulled her a little too close. "I'm sorry Sakura-chan. I didn't catch that," Nakuru said, obviously oblivious to Sakura's lack of breathe.
"Nakuru, please let go of Sakura-chan, she can't breathe," Eriol said, emerging from the crowd with Spinel Sun who was completely still on Eriol's shoulder as he dragged two large suitcases at each side of him. Nakuru loosened her grip on Sakura but still had her arms around her neck resting on her shoulders. Sakura inhaled a deep breath of fresh air.
"I just missed her that's all," Nakuru said with a pout. Sakura smiled and tilted her head back to face Nakuru.
"I missed you too," she said with a smile.
"You're so kawaii!" Nakuru exclaimed pulling Sakura into another tight hug causing Sakura to let out an 'ack.'
"I keep telling her that! Her cuteness increases by each passing day," Tomoyo said behind her camcorder, filming everything. Eriol stared lovingly at Tomoyo while she captured the moment of the two girls in front of her.
"Welcome back, Hiiragizawa," Syaoran said snapping Eriol from his gaze. He turned to face his descendant.
"Call me Eriol, Syaoran. We're all friends now," he said with his charming smile. Syaoran smiled back.
"Alright, Eriol-kun."
Eriol turned back to face everyone. "Shall we get going everyone?" The girls stopped what there were doing for a second and nodded. Tomoyo lead the friends to where her limo was parked. Everyone helped Eriol and Nakuru with their bags.
"Is that everything?" Sakura asked cheerfully.
"Yes. All the big stuff was already delivered to our new house," Eriol said smiling.
"I'm sorry about your former home, Eriol-kun," Sakura said with a sad voice.
"It's alright. It was necessary for you to make the Hope Card. The only reason it was able to stay dormant for so long was because the house kept her magic in check. I'm sure Clow foresaw his home would someday be destroyed and unleash the card. But all that's done. Shall we go visit our new home?" Everyone nodded and climbed into the limo with excitement.
Eriol gave the driver directions to where his house was while everyone talked animatedly with one another. Kero and Spinel Sun were finally able to move again and talked with each other. Tomoyo was recording everything and everyone during the whole ride. Though she missed Eriol's stares directed at her.
Finally they got to Eriol's new home. It was almost as big as Tomoyo's home. Though it was smaller by a few acres. It was between the size of Tomoyo's house and Sakura's house. They all piled out, took out the suitcases from the trunk, and Tomoyo dismissed her driver saying she'd call when they were ready to go home. They helped Eriol and Nakuru with the luggage as they went through the steel black gates. There were moving trucks already piled out with the furniture ready to be stored in the house.
XxXxXx§xXxXxX
"Thank you everyone, for helping us move in," Eriol said, emerging form the kitchen with a tray of seven glasses of lemonade. Everyone finished quickly what they were doing and walked/flew to Eriol to take a cup.
"It's no problem, Eriol-kun. We're happy to help you settle in," Sakura said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sakura-chan."
"What's left after this, Hiiragizawa-kun?"
"Call me Eriol, Tomoyo-chan," he said with a smile. "All we have left is to put the furniture in Nakuru's bedroom and my bedroom. We'll just put our stuff the way we want later. Unless you guys want to help us with that too. But it would be too much trouble. You can go home after we put the rest of the furniture in."
"I think we can stay a little longer to help out, right guys?" Sakura asked cheerfully. There were many comments of agreement. No one could ever say no to Sakura's smiling face.
"All right. In that case how about we split up to make the job go faster. Nakuru, Tomoyo-chan, and Syaoran-kun will work on Nakuru's room while Sakura-chan, Spinel Sun, Cerberus, and I work on mine." Syaoran was about to protest with the pairings since he wanted to be with Sakura, but stopped when he saw Sakura's smile.
"Okay that sounds good. Is that okay with everyone?" she asked to make sure everyone was fine with it. Everyone, again, agreed and Syaoran gave a reluctant nod. They all finished their drinks and went to the foot of the stairs where the remaining furniture was.
"Shadow! Help move Nakuru-chan's furniture!" Sakura said once she activated her star wand. "There ya go, Nakuru-chan. Just tell him where you want it. This should make it easier. Plus Syaoran can help you right?"
Syaoran, again, nodded.
"Thank you, Sakura-chan! Oh, but what about you guys?"
"Don't worry. We have plenty of magic on our side. Plus I still have this," Sakura said holding up the Power Card. She threw it in the air and activated it. "Power!" She walked over to Eriol's bed and bare mattress and picked it up with ease. "Come on, Eriol-kun," she said already halfway up the stairs. Eriol chuckled and levitated his bookcase with his own magic and followed after her. Syaoran stared after her for a minute before helping out with Nakuru's stuff.
"Wow! Your room is huge, Eriol-kun," Sakura said upon entering the room.
"It's only seems that way since it's bare," Eriol replied, setting down his empty bookcase near the window that was facing the front of the house.
"Where do you want this, Eriol-kun?"
"Against the wall in the middle of the room."
"Alright," Sakura put down the bed where he instructed and placed the mattress on top of it. "I'll be right back to bring your desk," Sakura said as she made her way to the door.
XxXxXx§xXxXxX
"Spinel Sun, Cerberus, could you two please get the last two boxes? It's full of books for the bookcase," Eriol asked kindly. The two guardians left the room and Sakura and Eriol continued to make Eriol's bed.
"I wonder how the others are doing," Sakura thought out loud.
"I'm sure they're fine. If Nakuru hasn't drawn them out yet with her ever changing decisions," Eriol said chuckling as they put in the last of the pillows on the bed. "Well, we're just about done. The books are the last to go. Thank you so much for your help, Sakura-chan."
"No problem, Eriol-kun. I'm always here to help you when you need it." Sakura smiled. She slumped down on the edge of the bed while they waited for Spinel and Kero to return. Eriol crossed over to her side and sat down beside her.
"I'm glad to hear you say that Sakura-chan. Because I need your help with something. I know nobody else but you can help me with this," he said seriously.
"What is it?"
"It's the whole reason why I came back. I figured out who my number one is."
Sakura's eyes beamed with happiness. "I'm so happy for you! Who's the lucky girl?"
"It's Tomoyo-chan," Eriol said shyly.
"Tomoyo-chan! Really? You two would be so cute together! But wait, what does that have to do with me?"
"I need your help confessing to her. There's no one who is closer to her than you. You know anything and everything about her and vice-versa. I just need you to help me confess to her."
"Oh well I can do that! Tomoyo-chan taught me some stuff when we set up Meiling-chan with her boyfriend when we went to visit Syaoran one summer for his birthday."
"Thank you. But please don't tell anyone else I like her or what you're doing."
"Not even Syaoran?"
"No, not even him. Please I just want her to be the first to know. Well, besides you now. So please, don't tell anyone." Sakura stared and Eriol's sincere eyes.
"All right. It'll be our little secret. I'll help as much as I can," Sakura said smiling.
"Thank you Sakura-chan. You're a true friend." Sakura's smile grew bigger.
"No problem. You've helped me out so much in past. Now it's my turn." Eriol smiled at her. Just then Kero and Spinel floated into the room, both carrying two large boxes. One stacked on top of the other.
"Here they are Eriol!" Kero said and dropped them in front of the bookcase.
"Thank you Cerberus." Kero smiled.
"It's been a while since someone called me that. I kind of miss it."
"Can you three please start on the books? I'm going to go make us all something to eat," Eriol said getting up.
"Will there be sweets?" Kero asked with stars in his eyes. Sakura and Eriol laughed lightly.
"Yes there will be. But please don't give Spinel Sun any, okay?"
"More for me!" Kero said happily. Sakura giggled and picked up a book.
"Okay, Suppi-chan, you're familiar with how Eriol-kun keeps his books so just tell us how they all go."
XxXxXx§xXxXxX
Sakura, Spinel Sun, and Kero were putting the last of the books on the shelf when they heard a knock on the door. Sakura look up to see Syaoran standing in front of the opened door. Sakura smiled at him.
"Hey, Syaoran! Is everything done in Nakuru-chan's room?"
"Yeah, we just finished. Everything looks great in here too," Syaoran said, looking around the room.
"Thanks."
"You guys had time to paint the room too?" He observed the variety of blues and tinge of black on the wall.
"Not really. We just sped things up by using Dash to quickly paint and Windy to help dry," Sakura said smiling.
"I see," Syaoran said examining the room once more. His eyes landed on Sakura who was finishing on putting away the books. He blushed slightly at her as the open window behind her illuminated her with the twilight light, outlining her figure and making her radiate more beautifully. No matter how many years have gone by he would always blush just being near her like when they were younger. "Hey, uh Sakura?"
"Hmm?"
"Did, uh, Eriol-kun do anything to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you were both here, and he's a guy, and well, I think he's had a thing for you when we were younger—" Sakura giggled at his awkwardness.
"Don't worry, Syaoran. Eriol-kun is as well behaved as he was back then. And I don't think he ever had a thing for me. He was just helping me out on transforming the Cards. We just ended up good friends along the way."
"So you don't love him?"
"Of course I love him," Sakura said smiling at him. Syaoran tensed up. "As a very good friend," Sakura finished and Syaoran relaxed a little. Sakura, who now finished the books, walked over to Syaoran and encircled her arms around his waist and pulled him in to a hug. "But no matter what, I'll always love you the most," Sakura said sweetly and rested her head on his chest with her eyes closed. Syaoran hugged her back, ignoring the fake gagging noises coming from Kero.
"I'm glad. I don't ever want to lose you to anyone, Sakura."
"That will never happen. You two are too in love with each other to let anything get between you," Nakuru said.
Tomoyo behind her, who filmed the whole thing, was smiling contently with stars in her eyes. "You two are so kawaii!" Tomoyo squealed.
Syaoran buried Sakura's blushing face into his chest more and turned his back away from the two girls to hide his own blush. Nakuru went passed them to enter Eriol's room.
"Hey, you guys did a great job!" Tomoyo followed her and filmed the room. "I bet the these two didn't help much though," Nakuru said pointing at Kero and Spinel Sun.
"We did so help! It wouldn't look this good without us!" Kero said fuming.
"Riiight." Before Kero or Spinel could retort, a voice came from downstairs.
"Everyone! Dinner's ready!" Eriol called. Kero flew by at the speed of light. Everyone sweat dropped but followed him at a much more normal pace.
XxXxXx§xXxXxX
After dinner, (A/N: You can pick whatever they ate.) Eriol got up and started to clear the table and was in the kitchen cleaning up.
"Hey, Tomoyo-chan, why don't you help Eriol-kun with the dishes?" Sakura suggested. Eriol almost dropped a plate. Almost.
"Oh, sure thing."
"I'll help too!" Nakuru said enthusiastically. Sakura slightly panicked.
"No! You can't because, because . . . because I want to see your room! I haven't seen it yet," Sakura said, proud of herself to come up with an excuse so quickly.
"Oh you're right! Come on you're gonna love it!" Nakuru grabbed Sakura's arm and dragged her upstairs. Sakura was able to grab Syaoran's with her other hand and dragged him with her. The two remaining guardians shrugged and followed after them, leaving Eriol and Tomoyo completely alone.
