Chapter Five: The Escape
"I know a way" Eriol smirked.
******
"What is it!?" The maid and Tomoyo look at him in curiosity.
"Well Tomoyo-chan, you are very well-known, so you need to wear this" He handed her a blue package. Tomoyo looked at him confused.
"What is this for?" Tomoyo held the blue package examining closely.
"Go into the bathroom, open it, and change into it, go" Eriol smiled to her as Tomoyo walked to the nearest bathroom.
"Now Maid Hana, I want you just to look out the blinds to see if anyone is trying to get in or if anyone sees us, alright"
"Hai, I will sir"
"Good, now I have to go change myself" Eriol went off to another bathroom the nearest to him but of course separate from Tomoyo. [Had to add the last part, so no one would get any dirty thoughts! It's rated PG anyway…so how bad can it get? Not very far…^_^]
"Sir!" The maid yelled for him before he stepped into the bathroom.
"Yes?"
"What about Miss Sakura and Li-san!?" The maid pointed to the upstairs where the two were.
"AH, I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THEM!!!" Eriol yelled in panic. He dashed upstairs and thrust the door open without knocking.
Eriol saw a blushing Sakura and an even more blushing Syaoran. What was going on? Well, no time for questions, he had people to save out of this house! [Did that make any sense….thought so ^_^;;]
"Eriol-kun, is something wrong?" Sakura asked with her non-ending cuteness.
"WHAT IS WRONG?! WHAT IS WRONG IS THERE ARE REPORTERS OUTSIDE TRYING TO GET THE STORY ON YOU TWO, THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!" Eriol yelled with a glare while the two scoured back scared of the mad-man.
"Eriol-kun, calm down, don't you have an escape plan anyway?"
"Yes I do, Tomoyo-chan is in the process, and now so will I, so hurry and escape, we will meet in the kitchen and discuss the rest of the plan there, got it?" Eriol said in a rush as he, again dashed into the nearest bathroom to change.
"Well, shall we go?" Syaoran extended his hand to her to make their way to the kitchen.
"Yes, we shall" Sakura smiled to him has she tightened her grip on his hand.
When the two walked in, they gasped at the sight. Tomoyo was cross-dressing!? Tomoyo was in a slick black suit with a black tie, black sunglasses, clip on ear piece, and everything. Tomoyo, you could tell was dressed as an FBI and CIA agent person. Sakura started to laugh so hard at the sight. Tomoyo just gave her one of the "I am warning you, don't push it look" and the "stupid Eriol" one along with it.
A couple seconds later, Eriol came in with a long brown over coat with some paper, pen, a brown hat on his head, and a camera. He was dressed as a reporter.
"Hey, I am the reporter, why are you one?"
"Shut up Li-san, I am going to be your partner, get it!?" Eriol glared at him as he chugged down his straight-black-coffee.
"Sorry, sorry" Syaoran stepped back a few steps.
"Anyways, so what is the plan?" Sakura asked as she took a seat in her chair.
"Well, I was thinking, I go out as a reporter and Tomoyo-chan is my body-guard, while Syaoran and you climb out your bedroom window to get into the backyard…" Eriol explained while all the others nodded along.
"Maid Hana will watch to see if any reporters see you two" The maid smiled. She was glad she was helping with something more important than making breakfast for everyone.
"Alright let's do it" They all put their hands on top of one another.
"BREAK!!" They all went their separate ways. The escape was is session.
*With Eriol and Tomoyo*
Tomoyo and Eriol reached the side door and snuck out to hide behind some bushes. They came out, cleaned themselves off and went into the crowd of reporters. Amazingly the reporters were so stupid that they didn't notice Tomoyo was Tomoyo nor Eriol was Eriol. [Confusing, ne?]
"Do you know where Miss Kinomoto and Mr. Li are?" The reporters kept asking each other.
One reporter with a beard and a mustache looked at the two as if he knew who they were.
"Hey you two!" The two jumped at the person talking to them. They didn't think anyone would know them this fast. Eriol would have to think on his feet on this one.
"Y-yes you need something mister?" Tomoyo asked standing in front of Eriol.
"Do I recognize you from somewhere?" The man took a closer look at Tomoyo, while Tomoyo on the other hand just gulped. They were dead if they got caught now.
"I don't know mister" Tomoyo answered shakily.
"Oh I know! From the candy shop…hahaha..Hi..well gotta go!" The man took off.
"Wow that was close and I mean close" Tomoyo sighed in relief.
"Yes but we do not want to keep getting confronted like this or else they will find out" Eriol stated as he saw more reporters coming through the gates.
"Right"
*With Sakura and Syaoran*
"What window should we go out of?" Sakura asked with confusion as she just figured out that she has well over a million windows in her house.
"Well Eriol said through your bedroom one, why don't we try it?" Syaoran said as he walked towards it.
"Alright"
Syaoran opened the window as he let Sakura through with some help. Syaoran then lastly came out and was indulged by the spring smell and breeze.
"Mmm today is a beautiful day" Sakura smiled brightly. She just loved sunny days. Everything was so full of life and it helped you forget all the sadness in the world.
"Ah" Syaoran answered as he was in awe of Sakura. Her honey locks played with the breezed as her blue summer dress waved in the wind.
"Well we better get out of here, ne?" Sakura looked at him.
"Hai"
Sakura was about to step off when she just figured out that they were three stories off of the ground.
"AH!" Sakura screamed as Syaoran held her tight to him so she wouldn't slip and fall.
"Now what are we going to do?" Sakura moaned.
"I will think of something…don't worry" Syaoran said to try and calm her but he didn't even know if they would get out of this problem themselves.
*With Maid Hana*
"Hum…No one. Again, No one. I am so bored" She sighed.
*Back with Tomoyo and Eriol*
Many reporters kept asking them if they knew them. Tomoyo and Eriol were really nervous at this point. An hour had gone by and Sakura and Syaoran still haven't gotten free. What could be going on?
"Eriol, why haven't Sakura and Li freed themselves yet?" Tomoyo whispered quietly so the reporters wouldn't hear them.
"I don't know my love" Eriol sighed. He, too was getting very worried about them.
While Tomoyo was walking to a different spot so she wouldn't be seen, her hat came off letting her purple-grayish hair flow down to her waist. One reporter saw her and gasped. Then another. Then another..and so on.
"MISS DAIDOUJI!!!" They all yelled.
"AHHHHHH NOOOOOOO ERIOL!!!!!" Tomoyo screamed as she took his hand and they ran far…very far and Eriol jumped in the limo and they drove off into the horizon.
"Now what are we going to do?" Eriol was driving fiercely since he was panicking so much.
"I DON'T KNOW!!" Tomoyo gasped as something dawned on her.
"SAKURA AND LI!!!!!!!" Tomoyo screamed.
"I am sure they will be fine" Eriol reassured her and himself.
"Syaoran would be able to get her out in no time" Eriol smiled.
"I hope you are right" Tomoyo sighed and smiled to him.
"Yeah me too"
They would be able to get out…right?
*Back with Sakura and Syaoran*
"So how are we gonna get off of the ledge?" Sakura asked as she gulped scared of the bottom below them.
"Well how about I jump off and you jump, then I catch you" Syaoran gulped.
"Isn't that dangerous!?" Sakura looked at him frightened.
"I have been training since I was little, this is no problem" Syaoran reassured.
"Alright… can you catch me?"
"I will make it my life wish to catch you" Syaoran smiled to her which gave her all the hope in the world she could do it now.
"What if the reporters see us?"
"Don't worry, Daidouji and Hiiragazawa are taking care of them"
"Now let's do this" Syaoran quickly ran up to the edge and swiftly jumped off landing softly on the ground.
"NOW YOU DO IT!" He yelled up to her. His ear caught something before she jumped.
"THE REPORTERS!!" Syaoran yelled.
"SAKURA YOU HAVE TO JUMP NOW!" Syaoran yelled in panic as they were breaking down the fence.
*Back with Maid Hana*
"Zzzz" Obviously she had fallen asleep.
*Back with Sakura and Syaoran*
"A-alright here I go!" Sakura yelled as she quickly ran to the edge, jumped off and landed softly in Syaoran's arms.
"THERE THEY ARE!" The reporters started to chase them.
"AHHH LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran ran with her in his arms as they hopped into his car and also sped off into the horizon.
"Oh my, oh my…so glad we are safe." Sakura caught her breath and smiled to him.
"Hai"
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed.
"NANI!?" Syaoran asked in worry.
"TOMOYO AND ERIOL!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed.
"It's alright I am sure they are fine" Syaoran reassured for her and himself.
"I hope you are right"
"Hai me too"
Now what is going to happen? They could all find each other…right?
