To Catch Up with You

Ch. 6 The Attack and Sleepover
~The next morning~
It was about 8:00 A.M. when Eriol woke with the suns rays blazing into his eyes. He sleepily raised his arm from his limp body and set it on the table next to him. Drowzily searching the table by touch for his glasses. His hand fell upon the metal rim of his glasses. Slowly, he put them on, trying to adjust to the light. He glanced towards Li. Yup. He was still asleep. Li was laying on his right arm with his left dangling from the bed. Eriol noticed a small glint of drool on the corner of his mouth. *Look at him. He looks like a little kid. Hehe. His arm is gonna be asleep when he wakes up. He's cutting the circulation off of his arm. Hehe...* Li then just snorted. Eriol stiffled a chuckle as he left the room. He was heading towards the kitchen.
~In Sakura's Room~
Tomoyo woke up with chill as she realized that had kicked off all of the covers during the night. She rose til she was sitting up in a 90 degree angle. She glanced around the room. She then realized that she was in Sakura's room. *Oh yeah. I forgot I stayed the night. Im at Sakura's. I think ill leave Sakura to her dreams and go see if theres anything to eat down stairs.* With that last thought. She slowly stood up trying to regain her balance. Then she headed out her door. She walked down the hall passing the room where the boys slept. As she walked by, she heard a snort. She stopped and poked her head into the 'boys' room. She giggled at the sight of Li. He was now halfway hanging off of his bed. Top half on the floor. He then murmered. "Sakura....." *Aw, how sweet. He must be dreaming of Sakura. They are soooo Kawaii together!* She thought as she headed down the stairs to the kitchen.
~In the Kitchen~
Tomoyo walked into the kitchen completly oblivious to the other soul sitting on a chair at the table. "Good morning Tomoyo." Said the boy. She jumped about a few inches off the ground, of being startled. She sighed a sigh of relief as she saw it was only Eriol. "Sorry, did I scare you?" She shook her head. "No. You just startled me. Thats all. So why are you here so early?" He gave her a quizical look. "Tomoyo, have you noticed the time? This is not early. It's 8:05 in the morning." "Oh. I didn't realize. So when did you wake up?" "Oh, just a few minutes ago. Is Sakura still asleep?" She nodded. "Li's still asleep also." Tomoyo just laughed. He looked at her in a quizical way. She smiled. "Sorry, but I already knew that. I heard him snort." She said giggling. He smiled. "I have something that you might find useful." He said pushing his glasses further up his nose bridge. She looked at him with a look of interest. "Oh. And what is it?" He pulled out a tape and handed it to her. She looked at the tape and slowly headed towards the living room TV. She slid the tape in and pressed 'Play'. A few seconds pass til an image of Li appears. Tomoyo giggled as she heard him mumbling things about Sakura. After about 5 minutes of non-stop babbling, she heard him say 'tasty...' She went dot eyed. "Tasty?" She said aloud. She then rewound the tape and had a huge smile plastered on her face. She walked up to Eriol. "This is GREAT! Now we can black mail him!" Eriol grinned evily. "Just what I was thinking."
~About Lunch time~
Sakura was standing about 300 yards from the rest of the group. She waved one of her hands fantically in the air while yelling, "C'mon! Lets hurry! Im hungry!" To them. Suddenly, a hand came out of no where and rested on her shoulder. She jumped at the contact. It was a boy about her age with black hair and brown eyes. He smiled, a sickining smile at her. The guy was giving her the creeps. "If your so hungry babe, then why don't you have lunch with me?" Sakura didn't like this guy. Not one bit. "Uh...I uh..." She was cut off by Li. Li was behind the stranger. He placed a hand on they guys shoulder. "Are you hittin on my babe?" Li said giving the strange guy hard cold glares, while making Sakura blush at the 'babe' part. The guy started to get goosebumps on his arms. "No. I was just, uh, passing by! Thats all! Promise!" Li snorted at the excuse. "Liar. Now beat it before I beat you. And don't be tryin to hit on my girl again." Li said giving the guy killing glares. The guy scrambled out of sight, tripping over his own feet. Li snorted and slid his arm around Sakura's thin waist, pulling her closer to him. Sakura felt herself slightly redin at the contact. A giggle was heard behind them. Sakura and Li turned around and their gazes fell on Eriol and a giggling Tomoyo. "Boy, Li. You sure showed him!" Tomoyo said trying to stop giggling. He looked at her. "Of course I did! He was hittin on my 'babe'." Li said trying to impersonate the guy from earlier. Tomoyo's laughter stopped as she smelt the delicious smell of hotdogs nearby. Li looked down at Sakura and smiled. "Are you Ok?" He asked. She leaned her head in the crook of his neck and slightly nodded. "I am now." She said. He smiled. Then the group started walking toward the hotdog stand. Each one of em' ordered 2 hotdogs each and headed toward a picnic table in the King Penguin Park which was only about a block away. They sat down at the wooden table and Tomoyo placed the plastic bag filled with hotdogs on the table. The hotdogs were in little boxes made of a thick paper. Each of the teens grabbed 2 each and started eating. Li was the first to finish his 2 hotdogs then Eriol. The boys finished within a minute. A NEW RECORD! Eriol and Li were in a race, so thats why. Li won. But Eriol came REALLY close to beating him. Sakura and Tomoyo burst into a fit of laughter at the boys. "What?" Both asked in unison. Tomoyo then pulled out a mirror and handed it to them while laughing. Eriol took it and looked at his reflection. He then stuck his tongue out and licked the ketchup, mustard, and relish off of his face then handed the mirror to Li. Li did the same.
After the 2 girls finished eating their hotdogs, they went for a nice walked in the park. The two couples arm in arm. As they walked, an awkward silence was brought. Tomoyo decided to break the silence. "I was thinking of a sleepover tonight, and your all invited. That is, if ya want to. So, how about it?" Sakura didn't hesitate. "Sure! How about it Syaoran? Please say you'll come." "Sure. Sounds fun. What about you Eriol? You wouldn't disappoint Tomoyo, Right?" "Of course i'll come! Anything for Tomoyo." Tomoyo chose that moment to blush at his comment. "Great! Be sure to bring your PJs, toothbrush, extra pair of clothes...." The group sweatdropped as she went on and on and on. "And don't worry about sleeping bags, I have extra rooms with beds, oh, and don't forget youselfs! Ohohoho!" The group sweatdropped again. That was Tomoyo for ya. Just then, a faint music could be heard in the distance. Li stopped and everyone fell quite. "Whats wrong Syaoran?" Sakura asked. "I hear something." Sakura then cupped her ears to hear better. "Oh! Thats the carnival! Ya guys wanna go? It's suppose to be bigger than ever with new rides!" Tomoyo agreed. "Yes! Lets go!" "Sure, c'mon Li, lets go." Eriol said. Li just shrugged and followed. When they were half way there, Sakura felt something. "Do you feel that?" "Feel what?" Tomoyo asked. "I've been feeling it for a while now." Eriol said. Li stopped and stretched out his aura to see if he could feel it too. "I feel it to. It feels weak though." "Yeah. It does feel a little weak." Sakura said. Sakura then started to follow the aura. Then Li and Eriol started to follow the aura too. Soon they broke into a run with Tomoyo following trying to pull out her pockey camera. They stopped at a cliff where the power was the strongest. Just at the edge of the cliff looked like an injured animal. But it wasn't an animal. It looked like the dash card in its animal form but was letting off a dark blue glow and had a small horn right in the center of its forehead. It let out a small cry and tried to stand but fell over. "Look. The poor things hurt. We should help it." Sakura said as she started for the injured animal but Li stopped her by grabbing her shoulder. "Wait. It could be a trap." Then the little creature tried again to stand up. Then it slowly limped its way to Sakura. Sakura stood there not knowing what to do. As the animal got closer Sakura bent down til she was on her knees, waiting for the animal to come closer. Li looked unsure weather to trust the creature. Eriol just smiled. The creature finally made it to Sakura and rubbed its head on her knee. She then reached out and lifted the creature into her arms and craddled it. "Look Syaoran. Its hurt. Poor thing." Li didn't answer. *But it has a magical aura. Could it be a decoy?*
~At the fair~
Sakura was still holding the little creature in her arms as it was sleeping peacfully even if the Fair was noisy. Li was starting to like the little creature. Sorta. "So Sakura, which ride would you like to ride?" Li asked. "You pick. I've been picking for the last hour. So its your turn." Li grinned an EVIL grin. "Sure, lets go on the Haunted house ride." *My turn to have some fun. Hehehe.* Sakura stopped. "H-haunted house?" Eriol and Tomoyo went a seperate way so she had no support. "Well, you said I could pick. So...lets go!" He grabbed Sakura's free arm and dragged her off to the haunted house.
Sakura was freakin out. She's never been on that ride before, cause it was too scary for her. When it was their turn, she was begging to not go on that ride. After the cart they were on went in the ticket man was laughing.
~In side the Haunted House~
Sakura was clinging on Li's arm for dear life while he was enjoying the whole thing. He wasn't scared one bit while she was scared to death. He grinned as she clung on tighter. When the ride was over, Sakura was still clinging on to him. They went to a food stand and ordered a large funnel cake and sat down at a table. When they started to eat, the small creature woke up. It sniffed the air and hopped out of Sakura's arm and onto the table. "Look Syaoran! He's awake!" "I think it's hungry." Li said as he broke off a piece and gave it to the little creature. The little animal bit it and started to nibble on it while trying to hold it with its paws. "Awww. How Kawaii!" Sakura said as she closed her eyes in a smile. People were giving the couple and the little creature confused looks, like 'What the hell is that!?' or 'Is that a mechanical toy?' Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew and people started to fall to the ground like dead flies. Sakura, Li, and the little creature stood and took a fighting stance. Then a large Flame errupted in front of them. Sakura jumped back. "Whats that?" Sakura asked.
