Syaoran sweat droppped and turned to Eriol. Just about when Syaoran wanted to speak, Yue cut in, "Why are you back in Japan?" Eriol smiled, Kaho interrupted, "I'm sorry to interrupt but wouldn't it be better for us to speak inside. I made tea."

"Yes, I agree with Kaho." Eriol said.

"Great, the cake is on the way." Tomoyo continued. "Cake?!" Kero said in enthusiasm.

Tomoyo nodded, "I texted message one of my bodyguards to bring over the cake that I baked earlier."

"You have time for that too?" Syaoran asked while sweat dropping. She nodded and smiled. Eriol and Kaho chuckled. They walked to the shrine's living room where Kaho led them. While walking, without Tomoyo's knowledge, Eriol was looking at her.

In the shrine's living room

Kaho served them tea while Sakura help served the cake. Tomoyo was video taping Sakura. "Tomoyo-chan, shouldn't you give the video camera a rest?" Sakura sweat dropped.

Tomoyo shook her head, "No, I fully charged it and if the battery dies, I have spare battery right here." Pointing to her bag. Syaoran and Sakura sweat dropped.

"Nyaa! The cake looks delicious. Ittedekimasu!" Kero dig in. He opened his mouth wide and munched the cake loudly. Syaoran rolled his eyes, "Greedy plush toy" he whispered but it was heard but Kero. "Whatever, kozo." Kero munched grumpily. Sakura sweat dropped. Tomoyo chuckled.

"Daidouji-sen, please have sit." Kaho sounded politely. Tomoyo nodded and uttered a thank you to her. "Ittedekimasu" Tomoyo said softly. Eriol just look at her while smiling. Tomoyo noticed a pair of azure eyes were looking at her and returned it with a smile. Yue stared at the cake, "I'll leave this Yukito. You still haven't answered my question yet, Clow Reed" adverting his eyes towards the blue haired lad.

Everyone in the room except Kaho, Tomoyo and Kero stared at Eriol and he smiled. "I just feel like visiting Tomoeda. After a few videos from Tomoyo-san, I felt like paying the Mistress of the cards and also I miss seeing my cute little descendant." He smiled at Syaoran who was slightly blushing. Eriol chuckled.

Yue stared at the reincarnated Clow Reed, trying to read him but Eriol returned it with a cheerful smile. The atmosphere was getting tensed. Tomoyo realised it and asked Eriol, "Where's Nakuru-san and.." Tomoyo was cut off by Kero, "That other plush toy, Spinnel?"

Sakura sweat dropped and Syaoran smirked, "Sub-consiously, you're admitting that you're a plush toy, huh?"

"Urusai! Kozo." Kero dropped his fork on the table as he finished his cake.

"Who on earth are you calling a kid, you gluttonous plush toy!" a vein trobbing from Syaoran.

Kero smiled at Tomoyo, "Tomoyo-chan, second please." Asking for another piece of cake then continued arguing with Syaoran, "I am not gluttonous!"

"Yeah right. You just asked for second which was already you fourth cake in five minutes." Syaoran said flatly.

"Why yo- ittedekimasu!" Kero forgotten about the argument and ate his cake. Syaoran cocked an eyebrow, 'gluttonous plush toy!' he thought while folding his arms and looking away.

Tomoyo chuckled softly. Sakura sweat dropped, "So, where are they?" Sakura turned back to the topic. Eriol smiled at the princess of Clow Reed, "They are around the city now. She said she wanted to see you elder brother and Spinnel is with her."

Yue still couldn't accept Eriol's reason being in Tomoeda. "Sakura, I'll be going now. I'll leave everything to Yukito now." He transformed back to Yukito. Yukito opened his eyes slowly as if he just woke up from a deep slumber. He looked around and saw two familiar faces, "Oh, it's you Mizuki-san, Hiirizigawa-san. How have you been?"

They chatted until midnight. Catching up on each other's life. Tomoyo looked at the time and it was already ten minutes past twelve. "Oh my," Kaho looked at the teenager, "What's wrong Daidouji-san?"

"It's really late. Time flies so fast when you're having fun." Tomoyo said.

Yukito glnaced at his watch as well, "Tomoyo-san is right. I have to get back to Toya before he calls-" Yukito felt his cell phone vibrated and picked it up. After conversing, he hung up, "It was Toya and Nakuru-san is with him. It's already late, so I guess, Nakuru-san will be staying at our apartment for tonight." He said while smiling at Eriol.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Yukito-san." The gray haired male shook his head stating not to worry. "And sorry to trouble the rest of you staying here this late." Eriol bowed a little so did Kaho.

Sakura shook her head, "Not at all. It's been fun talking to you again." Sakura paused as she remembered something. "Eriol-kun, Mizuki-sensei, Tomoyo-chan has a choir competition tomorrow. Will you come?" Sakura asked.

Eriol looked at Kaho and they both nodded. "Really?! You'll come? That's great ne, Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura looked at her best cheerfully. Tomoyo giggled and turned her gaze over at Eriol and Kaho. She took something from inside her bag and handed out to Eriol, "Here are the tickets for Mizuki-sensei and you."

"Tomoyo-chan, you brought the tickets with you?" Kero popped out of Sakura's bag which made Sakura tripped a little but Syaoran got a hold of her. Sakura whispered thank you to him which made him blush a little.

"Hai, I had hunch that we would find Eriol-kun tonight with some other guests. So, I decided to bring extra tickets." She smiled.

"That's very thoughtful of you, Tomoyo-chan!" Kero and Sakura said in unison.

"Arigato gozaimasu, Daidouji-san" Kaho thanked her. Tomoyo smiled and turned to Yukito.

"Tsukishiro-san, here are your tickets together with Kinomoto-san and Nakuru-san. " She passed the ticket to Yukito. "Arigato, Tomoyo-san. We'll be sure to come. I'll see you tomorrow. Do your best! Good night." Yukito waved good bye and went back to the city in a cab.

After waving goodbye to Yukito, Sakura looked over at Eriol. "I'm sure Naoko-chan, Rika-chan, Chiharu-chan and Yamazaki-kun would be delighted to see you again, Eriol-kun." He nodded, "I'm looking foward to meet them again."

Sakura held Tomoyo's hand in hers, "Tomoyo-chan, do your best. I'm looking foward to tomorrow." Tomoyo smiled, "I will. As long as you're there to watch me, Sakura-chan." The two best friends smiled at each other.

"Mata ashita! Good night." Sakura bid good bye with Syaoran holding her hands.

"Thank you for letting us chat here until late night, Mizuki-sensei." Tomoyo bowed to her former teacher.

Kaho slightly shook her head, "It's okay. And thank you for the cake. It was delicious. I'll go inside and clean up. Good night." Kaho smiled. Before going into the house, she glanced at Eriol and smiled. Eriol only smiled back.

"Shall I walk you to shrine's main entrance, Tomoyo-san?" Eriol asked politely as a gentleman.

"If that is okay with you, Eriol-kun." Tomoyo smiled back accepting his offer like a lady. They slowly walked together under the stars. Tomoyo spoke up, "Why didn't you tell me that you were coming back, Eriol-kun?"

"Hn? To surprise everyone."

"I see. You sure did surprise Sakura-chan and Li-kun. So did Kero-chan and Yukito-san." Suddenly Tomoyo fell silent. Eriol looked at her as she stopped at her track, "What wrong, Tomoyo-san?"

"Eriol-kun, honestly. How things between Mizuki-sensei and you wroking out?" She sounded concerned and worry. Eriol was surprised when she asked him that kind of question.

"Why did you ask, Tomoyo-san?"

"I don't see you and Mizuki-sensei talking much like usual. It had been a rather distant conversation even when you were so close. Anything happened?"

"Something might have happened. I'm still unsure but don't worry. Everything is going to be alright, Tomoyo-san." Eriol gave Tomoyo a comforting smile which made her relief a little.

"I'm glad to hear that." The reached the main entrance and she faced Eriol, "If anything happens, you can call me or come to my house. I'll be there to listen to you, Eriol-kun."

Eriol smiled while looking at her in soft eyes. "Good night, Tomoyo-san." she said the same thing and waved goodbye to him.

The car was out of sight. "Thank you, Kaho." Eriol turned to the shadows. Kaho appeared, "I don't like seeing you isolated from yourself. You should be able to sort out your feelings by being here. Whatever your decision will be, I will just have to accept it. Daidouji-san is a sophisticated young lady. It would be big loss for you if you don't hurry." Kaho said teasingly to Eriol.

He smirked, "I will keep that in mind, thank you, Kaho. Let's go inside." They walked back inside and had a good sleep.
