Returning Home to You: Part 3
Author's note: Hey people! Sorry it took so long again to put up the last part of this fic, but I got really lazy
and I couldn't think of anything to write. Well... actually I still don't know what I am going to write as I am
typing this, but I am sure that an idea will come to me. As always CCS belongs to Clamp and various
others. I do not own CCS. I only wish that I did so I could have lots of money (^_^). And I am making no
money off of this story. OH! And also if you have not read "The Only Gift I want" I would recommend that
you read that first and the first two chapters of this story before moving on.
I am not going to say their age cause I already told you guys before. But I guess in case you forgot
Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran are 15.

The moon had set and the sun had rinsed up and it was now morning. And we see our two favorite Card
Captors fast asleep still.
Sakura's eyes began to flutter and she awoke. She slowly opened her eyes trying to remember what had
happened last night, for her mind was absent minded for a moment. Sakura then remembered that Syaoran
had come back to her last night and they few asleep beside each other after their major make-out session
(o^_^o). She then rolled over to her side to see that Syaoran was not sleeping beside her.
'Was that all a dream?' she thought.
She then sat up in her bed and saw that Syaoran was practicing his sword exercises.
'Still the same old Syaoran,' she said in her mind.
Sakura then quietly got up from "their" bed. She blushed when she thought that. She decided to kiss
Syaoran good morning so she went up behind him and tapped him on his shoulder.
"Good morning, my princess wolf," said Sakura.
But Syaoran did not know it was Sakura, but thought that it was an intruder and did not hear what she had
said. He then turned around and swished his sword at the person behind him ready to attack.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh," was what Syaoran heard. He then looked up to see that it was not an intruder, but only
his Sakura. He saw that he accidentally made a small cut on her arm. Now he had felt very guilty for
hurting his beloved.
"Sakura I am so sorry! I didn't know it was you!" he exclaimed being very worried.
"It is ok. It was my own fault. I shouldn't have snuck up behind you," said Sakura.
Syaoran then ripped a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around Sakura's arm. He then hugged her very
tightly and kissed her very gently. He just couldn't stop kissing her. Sakura kept backing up until
accidentally fell on the bed with Syaoran on top of her. Syaoran started to blush madly. They continued to
keep kissing each other for a few minutes. Then Sakura looked to her left and on the desk next to the bed
was a calendar and it read that it was the 24th of december.
"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" yelled Sakura.
"What's wrong?" asked Syaoran.
"Oh...nothing... I just forgot that I...um...promised Tomoyo that I would go shopping with her today," said
Sakura trying to be calm. She was panicky because she had no Christmas present for Syaoran, since she
didn't know that he would be coming back yet and wanted to go buy one for him without knowing it.
And with that she told Syaoran that she would be back soon and went into the bathroom so she could
change, grabbed her stuff, and flew right out the door in a flash.
'I wonder why she was so panicky,' thought Syaoran.
He then looked at the calendar to see that today was Christmas eve and he hadn't gotten a present for
Sakura (But he was too dense to figure out that that was the reason for Sakura freaking out). He then
changed into some clean clothes, grabbed his wallet, and walked out the door heading toward the direction
of the mall.

Sakura kept on running and running until she reached Tomoyo's house. She knocked on the door and
Tomoyo answered it. Sakura then told her that she needed help picking out a present for Syaoran. Tomoyo
agreed to help her friend. So they both headed to the mall.
They finally got to the mall and boy was it packed. There must have been a million people walking around
in that mall. Sakura and Tomoyo almost got lost in the pack, but luckily they stayed together. The were in
the mall for hours and still had found nothing for Syaoran.
"Maybe we should just give up. I mean we have been here for 3 hours and still have found nothing," said
Sakura.
"No! We have to keep looking or else you won't have anything for Li-Kun," said Tomoyo.
They walked around for another and were about to go home, but then something caught Sakura's eyes. She
walked into a jewelry store and looked at two gold rings. One had a peony flower on it and the other had a
cherry blossom. She asked the clerk how much the rings were. The clerk told her that the rings were being
sold for $100 dollars. Sakura's eyes became sad as she knew that she only had $70 dollars. Then Tomoyo
popped up beside Sakura and told her that she would give her the $30 dollars that she needed. Sakura then
hugged Tomoyo and paid the clerk the money. With their mission accomplished they headed on home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Syaoran had also been walking around in the mall for a couple of hours and had also been trampled by alot
of people because he had fallen down and instead of someone helping him up, they had trampled on him
almost killing him. He then saw a jewelry store (the same one that Sakura went to) and saw that they had a
beautiful necklace. The chain was gold and the was a magnificent cherry blossom gem hanging from the
chain. The cherry blossom was a light/dark cherry blossom with light green colored leaves. He saw that it
was $60 dollars and quickly paid for it, making sure that no one else bought it before him and headed on
home.
Syaoran finally got home and decided to call Sakura. He knew that she went shopping with Tomoyo, so he
called Tomoyo's house.

Ring Ring Ring!
"Hello, this is Tomoyo"
"Hi Tomoyo. This is Syaoran."
"So what can I do for you Li-Kun?"
"Well is Sakura there? I would like to speak to her."
"Of course she is here. Let me go get her."
"Hi Syaoran."
"Hi my love."
"So what's up?"
"I was wondering if you could come by my apartment. I have something to give you."
"Ok, I will be there in a few minutes."
"Ok then. See ya soon Sakura."
"Bye Syaoran."
