I do not own CardCaptor Sakura

Sorry it has been so long I forgot about having this chapter saved on my computer and high school has been really stressful. Well here it is. It is kinda long. I just really want to bring Syaoran back to Tomoeda so it is kind of just filler.

Chapter 6

"Nariha! Where were you yesterday! I was frantic!" Meiling continued on about how worried she had been about Nariha. Nariha on the other hand seemed completely out of it. She laid her head down on her desk and closed her eyes, till it brought back nightmares she had had the night before and opened her eyes once again, very wide, as if she was scared to blink.

"Hey… are you alright?" Meiling asked. Concern coated her words as they reached Nariha's ears.

"Yeah. Actually I am great today. My mother left last night. That is why I left school, she wanted me to see her off." Nariha said, stretching her arms over her head for a minute then scratched the back of her head.

"She didn't seem as bad as you made her sound, Nariha," Syaoran said. His desk was just in front of Nariha's, which made it easy to turn around and join the conversation.

"Ha! You just weren't with her for that long of a time. Besides, you must have seen the look in her eyes. They looked like needles." Nariha lifted her head off the desk and smiled. "Well, at least I have no more worries for the time being. All I need to focus on now is the trip to Japan!"

"Oh right! It is this weekend? Wow, you planned this thing really soon! Hey can you come over today and help me pack. I know it isn't for a few more days but I have to be prepared." Meiling asked. She now had stars in her eyes as she began to think about seeing her old friends again.

"Sure! Sounds great!" Nariha gushed. The thought of upcoming event lightened her mood a lot. The past few days had been horrid for her and today she felt completely rejuvenated. They were going to spend a few weeks in Tomoeda and see what exactly it was like there. Even Syaoran was somewhat looking forward to the visit. He was working towards the goal of regaining his memories. He knew this would please Nariha so he planned not to tell her. He didn't want her getting smug about this situation, that was the last thing anyone needed, was Nariha with a bloated ego.

The teacher walked through the door and the class immediately fell silent and Meiling went back to her seat. It was another day of droning form the teacher. Most of the stuff they discussed that day went right past Meiling and Nairha's heads. Syaoran was the only who could ever keep up with so much, much to Nariha's displeasure.

The day ended just like every other day. Yet, today Nariha went to Meiling's house after school. The two girls spent over two hours picking out special outfits for Meiling. After awhile the room became too stuffy and Nariha felt the need to get air. She went down the stairs of the large manner and through the back screen doors. She sat down on the cool stone patio and sighed. Something had caught her attention in Meiling's room through the window. It was a glint as if it was from a mirror or something shiny. Knowing it was wrong to snoop around she found herself sitting there hoping to figure out what it was from her current position. Sure enough, after a few moments she spotted a sweat-drenched Syaoran emerge from an area surrounded by trees. He noticed Nariha in an instant; it was also in that instant that he realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. He tried to cover his embarrassment because Nariha seemed unaffected by his, and his amazing body's, presence. This irked him. No normal girl could even catch a glimpse of his body and not feel anything, and he was well aware of this. But then again everyone knew Nariha was different.

He walked over to where Nariha sat. She was now leaning back bracing herself against her hands. He sat down next to her and she looked over to acknowledge him that she knew he was there, and looked up at the sky. He sighed and laid down. The coolness of the stone was a shock against is hot back but he endured it and sure enough he got used to it soon after. Sitting there like that was rather boring and Syaoran had to admit that he was getting somewhat antsy. Yet, he felt like he couldn't just leave without saying anything.

As a few minutes went by he began to notice more and more the blank look in her eyes as she continued to look up at the sky. Nariha then sat up and got back up on her feet. Syaoran looked up at her. She took a few steps back to make sure he couldn't see up her skirt.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Nothing really. Just laying here. Are you okay?" Syaoran said.

"Yeah. Where did you get the idea that I wasn't?" Nariha waited for an answer but Syaoran never replied. "Never mind. Well, what were you doing over there?" More questions. That seemed to be all of Nariha's and Syaoran's relationship; questions and answers, answers that would then spawn new questions, and the cycle continued.

Syaoran realized that Nariha was referring to the area back behind the trees where there was a training space that he often used to practice using his magic, but he couldn't tell Nariha that, she would think that he is delusional. "I was training."

Nariha seemed to be interested in this. "Really?"

"Yeah. I am a swordsman." Syaoran said, a smirk sneaking its way on to his face. Even though it sounded completely ridiculous Nariha believed him. She had no reason not to anyway.

"Oh wow! That's amazing! Can you do any of those awesome tricks like the ones they have in movies?" Nairha looked like a child as she said this. Her eyes were wide and Syaoran could see the spark of interest in them.

"Nah… Besides most of those are just special effects, you know that."

"Aww… I couldn't help myself—" "Nariha!" Meiling had just come out from the house behind the two teens. "There you are! Sorry for interrupting you guys' conversation but I need Nariha's help," Meiling then proceded to take Nariha by the hand and drag her away all the while Nariha looked stupefied saying "But- but …what.. Mei-meiling."

"Okay so what jacket should I wear on the plane?" Meiling asked. Nariha was now seated on the chair in front of Meiling's desk and was staring at Meiling with a dumfounded expression. Such a random question and yet it really seemed to make a big difference to Meiling.

"That one." Nariha pointed to the black one that had been tossed on the bed.

"That's not one of the choices, silly." Meiling said.

"Oh, well then, can I wear that one?" Nariha asked.

"Uh, sure… Well which jacket of the two of these do you like better?" Meiling said, pushing away the strange conversation from just a moment ago. Nariha got up, scooped the black jacket into her arms and the pointed to the jacket Meiling had ion her left hand. It was a gray jacket, with cuffs but no hood on top. Two zippers on it made it possible to have the bottom open and still zipped together.

"Okay, thanks!" Meiling said. She the continued to take the jacket and fold it over the chair Nariha had just been sitting in.

Nariha looked over at the clock on Meiling's dresser, which read 7:34. "Oh crap! It's already so late!" she said picking up the clock. "I'm going to go home now!" Nariha called. She had already packed her bag and was out the door, leaving Meiling a little bewildered.

"Uhh…. Okay."

Syaoran was in a grumpy mood the next day. Meiling was as excited as could be and had kept him up all night. The entire day she would go on and on about how great it will be to visit Tomoeda again. Nariha looked equally as happy, which was a change from her recent far-off attitude.

As packing was completed Syaoran had some time to think about the situation. Why did Nariha want to visit Tomoeda so much? Why was she so determined to get his memories back when it was so obvious to him that they would never return. He would try for the sake of those close to him though, and…. The girl he saw in his dreams. She had bright green eyes, a lot more vivid than Nariha's, brown hair that reached under her armpits (A/N I really don't know what length this would be). In his dreams she would stand there and smile, a few times she would say "I'm so glad your back Syaoran," and he felt something weird pulling in his chest every time he thought about it. This girl was amazing, everything about her was beautiful, he didn't know if he knew her or not, but truth be told he kind of wanted to. He had many dreams about this girl for a while now, but he would NEVER tell anyone that. Nariha would get a bigger ego and Meiling would be all over his case about who it was.

"SYAORAN I HOPE YOU ARE ALL PACKED WE ARE LEAVING TOMMOROW MORNING FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!" Meiling screeched as she ran around the house before she found her way to his room. "Oh! So… you are already. You should reply to me when I am calling for you."

"I didn't hear you calling for me."

Meiling sighed and sat down on Syaoran's bed in the back corner of the room. "I am super psyched for this trip-" and on and on, as it continued. It was getting old to Syaoran.

That night passed by incredibly long. Meiling finally got bored of talking to Syaoran, who never responed much, his mind seemed to be elsewhere she noticed, so she went to talk on the phone with Nariha, who didn't seem in the mood to talk either.

Overall it was just a boring night in Hong Kong for the teens.

~*~

"Dammit Meiling! You just had to fall asleep at the perfect time. You don't sleep the entire night and then collapse a few minutes before we have to go! Do you have any idea how much of a heavy sleeper you are?" Complaints from Syaoran continued all the way to the airport where Wei and Syaoran's sisters said goodbye to them. Meiling began to argue back but found herself to tired to keep going.

The two found Nariha near the baggage check staring up at the incoming flights board. Just where she said she would be that night during her conversation with Meiling.

"S-Sorry for being late, Nariha," Meiling panted, rubbing her eyes. "It's all my fault that we are late."

"That's alright guys, really! Our plane apparently hasn't even arrived according to this." Nariha said acknowledging towards the board above them. It was true their flight hadn't even landed. They still had another hour to wait.

"Thank God! See Syaoran, nothing to worry about," Meiling said elbowing him in the stomach. At the same time her stomach growled from hunger.

"Ahh! Are you hungry? Come one, let's go find some place." Nariha said. She grabbed them both by the hand, with her purse dangling from her arm and dragged them over to one of the many restraunts in the airport. Meiling began shoveling food into her mouth as she got her food, while Syaoran sat and ate his food rather politely, chopsticks held perfectly in his right hand

"Man, I am tried of waiting! Do you guys understand how long I have wanted to go to Tomoeda? I am to excited to handle all of this!" Nariha complained. She was sitting across of the cousins, arms folded over her chest as she huffed.

"Why are you so excited? It's not like you know anyone there?" Syaoran questioned. Little was known about Nariha still even after they knew her for so long. This was bothersome to both Li's.

"It's always fun to visit new places," Nariha shrugged. "Besides I want to meet all of Meiling's friends. Will you tell me about them again?" Nariha asked as she leaned in over the table her chin was cupped in her hands, and her eyes were bight.

"Lef meh eart frisft," Meiling said with her mouth full. This was Pig language for "Let me eat first." Nariha laughed out loud at her friend's response.

After they had finished eating the three ventured off to go find their planes gate, which had thankfully landed. Syaoran stared out of the large window that was in front of him. Meiling was telling Nariha once again about her friends a few seats away, just as she had promised.

Finally the time came where they could get on the plane. Nariha held Meiling's hands, worried that she would ruin one of the chairs from excitement, Meiling was as happy as could be.

Sakura Kinomoto sat down on the grass with her friends. The browning grass crunched under her weight. She wasn't overweight, if anything she was underweight but the grass was just too weak.

She still had not returned completely back to normal after Syaoran left, but made an effort to be as happy as she could be for her friends. To be honest she was almost happy, she had great times with her friends and knew they would always be there for her, but nothing could replace what Syaoran had taken.

"I was hoping you guys would come with me to the mall tomorrow. It is the only day off this week and I want to do something fun!" Chiharu stated as she sat down next to Sakura.

"Hoe! I want to!" Sakura practically yelled, causing everyone else around them to laugh, thus making Sakura blush in embarrassment.

"Well, I think it sounds great!' Tomoyo continued, after the laughter had died down a bit. "Plus maybe I can get a few ideas for your dresses for the Winter Ball."

"Tomoyo-chan, that isn't for months! Besides, you are always fussing over everyones dresses then, why bother now?" Naoko said.

"It never hurts to get and early start," Tomoyo defended herself.

"Tomoyo-chan makes the best dresses anyway. I'm sure you all want to look great for the ball when it comes to that time," Rika stated.

"You know that the word dress was created when an English man saw his wife in a dress that he thought was a tubular chest-coving skirt--" Takashi began to gag as Chiharu strangled him about ready to break his neck.

Sakura laughed at her friends actions and tried to keep positive thoughts for those close to her.

~*~

"Wahoo! Tomoeda, I'm back!" Meiling yelled her bags in each hand, which were high in the air, as she walked out of the airport. It was a long flight after getting on two planes to reach their destination. Meiling noticed people staring at her and blushed. Nariha and Syaoran stood a good few meters back, sweatdropping. Syaoran was carrying almost all of their bags, almost crushed under the weight. Nariha offered to take a few bags to add on to the ones she was already carrying, and he gratefully let her.

"So I was thinking I will show you around tomorrow and calling my friends then," They all sat inside a rather tiny taxi as Meiling went through her entire plan of the next few days to the other two teens. Meiling's bubbly personality always kept the others somewhat upbeat. Syaoran and Nariha sat there and stared all the while. Nariha's smile grew bigger and bigger until she just finally laughed. Meiling and Syaoran stared at her because of her strange actions.

"I'm just glad to be here is all," Nariha replied when she noticed her friends strange looks. "Hey, Li-kun, make sure you tell me if you have any weird memory flashes okay?"

"Uhh, yeah sure." Syaoran said. Retrieval of his memories was now a priority for him.
