A/N: here's the Eleventh chapter! I decided to introduce a new character in this one. His name is Kaoru, Syaoran's nephew. He's five and surprisingly mature for his age. Kinda like a little Syaoran.
Well I hope you like it! ^.^
Sakura and Tomoyo were at Sakura's house today. It was Saturday and they didn't have any classes. for Sakura it was really perfect having Tomoyo at her house, this way they can spend time with each other chatting and all those other stuff, the only problem is... Touya's home.
"Don't you have work or anything?" Sakura asked her big annoying brother.
"Unfortunately for you, I don't" Touya scoffed "I still have a life you know"
"Can't you just plan something with Yukito?"
"I really think I should be hurt with you wanting me out of the house but I'm not, should I be bothered?" Touya asked.
"Hmmmm" Sakura thought. " I'm not sure... now can you go?!"
"No but don't worry, I'll just be in my room doing absolutely nothing, pretending I don't exist at all. I might even get bored to death, as if you care right kaijuu?" Touya said in mock sadness.
"Are you trying to make me feel guilty? cause you're failing.....miserably. I just wish you'd permanently keep your mouth shut" Sakura scoffed.
"Whatever. Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it (get it) you just might get it" Touya sang (you know, the song of the pussy cat dolls)while dancing in a very inappropriate manner. Amazingly, Tomoyo and Sakura didn't throw up, they even snickered. Why? Because Tomoyo recorded Touya's dancing frenzy on video.
"See you on the net Touya!" Sakura said cheerfully.
Touya raised an eyebrow at her, completely oblivious about the 'funny video' and continued walking up the stairs to his room.
"At last!" Sakura cheered. She looked at Tomoyo who didn't seem to be as happy as she was.
"What's bothering you? Don't you dare lie to me! I know for sure that something's wrong and you're just not telling me 'coz you think it's not important. And I know that it's got something to do with those girls you worked with during your project thingy and the way Eriol seemed to be pissed of at something yesterday" Sakura blurted out not taking a breath.
Tomoyo stared at Sakura. Amazing. Every single word she said was right.
"How the hell did you figure that out?"
"Let's say I have supernatural powers like Edward Cullen's mind reading ability" Sakura dismissed "Now spill!"
Tomoyo sighed and stared at the yellow walls of Sakura's kitchen. "Well.... would you think that it would be stupid to stop being friends with someone...because y-you learned something about him OR her that you don't exactly like?"
"What did you learn about Eriol?" Sakura pressed.
"Wait!! I never said it was about him!! You have no proof!" Tomoyo erupted.
"Oh come on, we all know you're talking about him" Sakura said matter of factly.
"All?" Tomoyo asked raising an eyebrow. "We're the only ones talking"
"Well whatever. What did you hear anyway?"
"It's nothing, I just well they told me something. They said they were just concerned because I was growing close to him...."
"Aww come on Toms, stop beating around the bush!"
"Okay, they said Eriol was just a stupid player and that all of them became his girlfriend at the same time"
"And you believe them?"
"Well, there were pictures and stuff and, Oh Sakura what do I do? I already told him I didn't want to have anything to do with him! I'm scared, like what if it's true? What if he's just fooling around with me? I don't think I can take it that's why I think it's best..." Tomoyo said sadly.
Sakura looked at Tomoyo. She understood why she felt this way. Well let's just say that Tomoyo's past relationships weren't as happily ever after as everyone else's. It was usually just because of her looks and her smarts and never because someone liked her. Not that she wasn't likable, in fact Sakura couldn't understand why this keeps on happening to her friend. Tomoyo is the most nicest lovable person Sakura knows. But Tomoyo feeling this way.... well you couldn't really blame her.
"It's okay, I promise. Do what you think is right this time okay? Don't worry about it, I'm pretty sure things will turn out good"
"You really think so?" Tomoyo asked.
"I don't think , I know" Sakura smiled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"HEY!!!!! GET THE HELL UP!!!" Syaoran bellowed.
Eriol's eyes snapped open then he screamed....... well he shrieked, like a little girl.
"I mean URRGGGHH!" Eriol cleared his throat and tried to scream in a manly tone.
"Uh, sure just get dressed okay?" Syaoran said.
"Okay" Eriol replied without even complaining. He only wondered why he should get dressed whaen he was already finished. "Ummm, so why did you come here again?"
Syaoran rolled his eyes (something he always does when he's around Eriol). "Well in case you forgot, which I'm pretty sure you did, you promised to go with me to my nephew's school"
"Oh, yeah right. What for?"
Syaoran twithched his nose "Because! He got in trouble and the school needed to talk to his parent or guardian. Unfortunately for me all of my sisters are back in Hong Kong taking care of some business stuff. Now come on!"
"You mean to say, you're baby sitting Fanren's son? Ooohhh, cool. I love that kid. Kinda reminds of you so much that it's scary!" Eriol said rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah yeah you can tell me all that later, let's just go okay"
"But it's Saturday! Isn't this like a non working day?"
"Well apparently,Kaoru has done something so bad that the school had to open" Syaoran said already losing his patience.
"Fine"
Eriol peeked inside Syaoran's car and found little Kaoru, dark brown hair and red pupils,pouting and sitting in the backseat, strapped with so much seatbelts that it seemed illegal. He stepped into the passenger seat.
"Don't you think you're going way too overboard with the seatbelt thing?" he asked Syaoran.
"It's better this way, I mean what if we crash? At least it's safe" Syaoran answered.
"Well with the way he looks right now, I don't think he'll be able to breath properly"
"Fine" Syaoran reached out and loosened some of the safety buckles. Kaoru looked a little happier but he didn't stop glaring. He was so cute, he looked a lot like Syaoan except for the red eyes, and like Syaoran he also preferred glaring than smiling. They drove to Kaoru's school. They waited in the office and soon they were called in.
"Ummm, so Mr. Li? You are his guardian?" a fat balding man asked. He was sitting on a chair behind a large desk. Syaoran assumed he was the principal.
"Yes, I am. My sister won't be able to attend. She is really very busy" Syaoran answered.
"And your companion is?" the fat balding man asked.
"I'm Eriol" Eriol answered casually."Don't worry I'll just be sitting here quietly."
"Okay" the man said a little disturbed " You see Mr. Li, your nephew here has had some temper issues"
Eriol snickered quietly and mumbled something that sounded a lot like 'just like his uncle'
"Oh!" Syaoran looked at Kaoru "What did he do now?"
"You see the teacher was telling the students something about history, about who killed Abraham Lincoln. And he wasn't really listening so the teacher turned to him and asked him who killed Abraham Lincoln" he looked so serious that it was almost funny, Eriol struggled not to giggle "And do you know what he did?"
"No, what did he do?" Eriol interrupted looking as if he was listening to a scary story. Syaoran looked at him irritatedly.
"Well he bursted out screaming at the teacher saying 'How the hell should I know?!' " the principal said.
It seemed like Kaoru was enjoying the memory because he smiled a little. He had been surprisingly quiet during the whole session.
"He did?!" Syaoran turned at Kaoru looking dissapointed. Eriol went to Kaoru's side.
"Why did you deny the crime? If you killed the man you should've just said so! I'm sure they would've understood!" Eriol said histerically.
"Eriol, I doubt that Kaoru killed Abraham Lincoln so I suggest you go back to the corner and shut the fuck up" Syaoran hissed making sure Eriol was the only one who heard. Eriol went to his corner and sulked a bit but immediately lightened up when he saw a jar of sweets on top of a table beside him.
Syaoran shook his head and turned to the principal. "I deeply apologize for my nephew's misbehavior, I truly am. And don't worry, this deed won't go unpunished"
They went out of the room walking in the same halls thay went in. They all went into the car.
"You're not gonna punish me are you?!" Kaoru asked Syaoran, pouting and glaring as usual.
"Well I did promise" Syaoran said glancing at him from the rear view mirror.
"But it really wasn't my fault! I'm a kindergartner for christ's sake! How in the world was I suppose to know who killed the man?!" Kaoru answered in a small but defensive voice.
"He does have a point" Eriol butted in.
"But still, it's not the right way to react you know that" Syaoran answered back.
Kaoru furrowed his little eyebrows and pouted even more. Syaoran sighed and focused on his driving.
"Aw, Syaoran how cute, you look and sound like a daddy!" Eriol chuckled.
"Shut up" Syaoran snapped.
"Okay, so where will we go next?"
"I'll just drop him off in his Judo class and then I guess I'll go home again"
"Hey what about me?" Erio asked.
"Oh you can stay in this car all day in the garage"
"Oh that's nice, I'm gonna be having the time of my life!" Eriol said sarcastically. They drove in silence for a while and then dropped Kaoru to his Judo class. Eriol watched Kaoru bound over to the doujo.
"Are you sure it's safe to let him take those kinds of classes? I mean he's so tiny!" Eriol said.
"Don't worry, a Li is born tough" Syaoran said arrogantly.
"There you go again with the LI is tough thing"
"Well it's true"
"Hey can I stay over at your place?" Eriol asked.
"That depends, are you potty trained?"
"Oh haha very funny. Come on can I?"
"Sure. Just promise me that you wont throw another party when I get preoccupied with something like you did last time"
"I'll do my best!"
And so again with the silence and the driving and Eriol's constant 'Are we there yet' comments (mainly just to annoy Syaoran).
So they finally arrived at Syaoran's place....
Eriol actually planned to talk to Syaoran about his little problem with Tomoyo. If there's someone who knows what he should do it would be Syaoran. He did have a large brain and is usually the logical one of the two. In fact Eriol thinksSyaoran's brain is so large that he usually considers Syaoran's brain as another being. Like instead of just saying Syaoran, he says 'Syaoran and Syaoran's brain...well anyways enough with the crap.
"So ummm I just wanted to ask..." eriol started.
"What about?" Syaoran asked plopping on a sofa.
"You see, yesterday"
"Oh yeah, right I didn't catch up to you , you went home earlier that me.." Syaoran stopped, blushing furiously after remembering why he didn't catch up to Eriol and all the cheesy things he said to Sakura.
"Hey are you okay? You kinda look weird, like your constipated and your also blushing, you've been doing that a lot lately" Eriol asked.
"It's nothing! SO about your question" Syaoran said immediately changing the topic.
"Umm, Tomoyo said well... she said she didn;t wanna be friends with me and she didn't wanna have anything to do with me" Erio; said sadly.
"Why did you do something stupid?" Syaoran asked.
Eriol turned to him with a look that said ' Dude, I'm always doing something stupid'
"Okay so, do you think you've done anything to upset her?" Syaoran asked again.
"Well, no. Nothing really I can even say that I've been extra good these past few days!" Eriol answered.
"Well in that case I don't see why she would be like that" Syaoran's phone rang and he excused himself. Eriol watched him lazily, not really paying attention to Syaoran's phone call. Syaoran glanced at Eriol like he was the topic of the conversation and hung up.
"So anyways, I'm not sure if she has any reason to be mad at you or something. Unless of course..." Syaoran's voice trailed of.
"Unless what?" Eriol raised an eyebrow.
"Unless you've been doing something stupid in the past and she learned about it through gossips"
"What? I haven't been...oh" something suddenly clicked in Eriol's mind. "Um, there is one thing..."
"What is it?"
"You see a long time ago, and I mean a very long time ago, I kinda had five girlfriends at the same time, haha funny isn't it? Okay! I know it's so stupid and jerky and I know it sounds like I'm a womanizer or something but it was because of a bet and I didn't really liked doing that! I was forced I tell you! FORCED!!I know, you think I'm an Idiot because of that don't you?" Eriol blurted.
"No, that's not why I think your an idiot, but see the conseqeces of your actions?" Syaoran said sounding like a daddy again. "You finally find the One and you lose her because of your immature antics"
"But I told you it was...HEY! What do you mean the One? And how come you italicized it in your head?"
"How the hell do you even know I italicized it?"
"It's written all over your face dimwit. Why are you suddenly thinking that I have found the One huh?!"
"You know, that look, that smile your cheesyness whenever she's around. I can read you like an open book! Is it so hard for you to realize that maybe you're in love?" Syaoran said trying hard not to shudder at his weird assumptions.
"You're really creeping me out you know. I mean so what if I think she's nice? No, scratch that, she's an angel!She's also beautiful and cheery then she's like so smart, have you ever seen anyone like her? It's like I can be with her for the rest of my life and I won't ever need anyone else, ever so sweet she makes it all seem...... oh, who am I kidding? You're right as usual. I am in l-u, lluhhh...." Eriol struggled
"In love?" Syaoran helped raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, that one, what do I do know?"
"Well, maybe you can win her back or something.." Syaoran shrugged.
"Yeah, I need to prove to her that I've changed! That I'm not the same dipshit that I once was! I have to prove that I LOVE her!"
"See? Know you don't even have any difficulty in saying the L word!" Syaoran pointed out.
"What word? Limburger?"
Syaoran sighed. "Never mind"
Syaoran sighed again and silently thanked God that Sakura had called about why Tomoyo was acting strangely ( the phone call Syaoran got while they were talking). It was actually fun for him to see that Eriol was actually serious in something. Very odd and unusual but extremely entertaining.
"Syaoran will you be mad if I told you I spilled milk on your bedsheets?" Eriol interrupted Syaoran's thoughts.
"YES!" Syaoran bellowed.
"Well, then umm, NEVER MIND!" Eriol answered trying (and failing) to sound guiltless. Syaoran immediately went to his room to prevent any further damage that Eriol might cause.
"What did you do this time?!" Syaoran asked leaning on the door frame looking exasperated.
"Umm, the carton jumped from my hand I swear!" Eriol said holding up both hands.
Syaoran examined the mess and sighed for the millionth time. "Well, crap , I sent all the maids on vacation how the hell am I supposed to clean this up?"
"That's easy! You just use the washing machine thingy"
"I don't have time, I have to pick Kaoru up"
"Already?!"
"He only has 30 minutes during weekends"
"Well if you leave this bedsheet here it will get all crusty and sticky and then ants will come and you know how much I hate ans" Eriol said.
"Then I'll put it in the laundry room" Syaoran said taking of the covers and making his way to the laundry room. He dumped it in a full hamper and went to the living room. Eriol was already there waiting for him.
"So after we go get little Kaoru I can get to play - I mean use the mashing machine right?" Eriol asked excitedly.
"Err yeah" Syaoran said uncertainly.
