A/N: And so day seven continues!
Disclaimer: Mwuahahah! One disclaimer is enough!
Day 7 (So it continues…):
Sakura and Syaoran borrowed Tomoyo's car as she had come to welcome Eriole back from England by setting up Sakura's house for a short little celebration. Syaoran drove to the Toemeda airport in hopes they weren't late, due his over cautious yet slow driving.
"Are you sure you don't want me to drive?"
"It's okay, I know Japan better you do you at the moment." [Sakura lets out sigh of relief]
"Point taken. Um, Syaoran, you're driving almost below the speed limit."
"Sakura, you can drive back then."
" I don't like stick shifts. I have no idea how Tomoyo does it."
Syaoran grinned at this comment. "You afraid of stick shifts?"
"Iie!"
"Doshite (why)."
"I don't have my driver's license."
"Ara. I see." [Sakura is now embarrassed.]
"Maybe Eriole will want to drive back?"
"Iie. You shouldn't let someone off a straight 7 hour flight drive."
"Alright."
"Do you have a permit?"
"Hai."
"You can drive back then."
"Iie!"
"Yoshi (its okay), I'll be the adult supervising your driving."
"Hai…"
Sakura shook her head knowing Syaoran would regret this later.
They greeted Eriole in the baggage claim area, surprised to find Naruku and Spinel tagging along.
"Oi!"
"Konnichiwa!"
"You brought Naruku and Spinel too!"
"They wanted to come, don't give me that look descendent."
[Incoherent mumbling coming from Syaoran.]
They all crammed themselves and the luggage into Tomoyo's car.
Sakura sat in the driver's seat and Syaoran sat in the passenger's seat next to her.
"Everyone ready?" Sakura asked.
They all nodded.
Sakura shifted the controls into reverse after starting the car. Syaoran began to coach her from here.
"Okay, back out carefully. Slowly, Slowly."
Sakura backed out from the car port space with Tomoyo's classy black Mercedes. She pulled out with a jerk nearly scratching the side, let alone, almost crashing into the car passing through.
"Okay, calm down Sakura, just ease the car out."
Sakura skidded out of the airport onto the highway. She began to drive smoothly from here…or rather at the height of the speed limit. Syaoran clung to his seatbelt for dear life just observing the way Sakura pulled sharp turns through the city.
"Naruku, what are you doing?" Eriole inquired as her stared pondering.
Naruku adjusted her position again, "I came to Japan to see Touya, not to get killed by his imoto."
"That still doesn't explain why you moving like that."
"Well at least, if I'm going to be killed, I'll die comfortably."
Everyone sweat dropped.
Sakura pulled another swerve and soon she swung the car into the driveway in one piece.
Syaoran checked if anyone was hurt but nobody was, just stunned, except for spinel who had his face in the floor. They all slowly got out of the car, still dazed, testing if either one was alive. Tomoyo came running out of the house to see if everybody was all right. She ran toward Sakura, "Sakura-chan! Daijobu?"
She had a petrified look on her face "who was driving my car like that?"
Eriole, still trembling answered her question, "Sakura."
"Nani!" Tomoyo fell over in shock.
"Syaoran encouraged me too." Sakura piped in.
"That's the last time I let you drive a stick shift." Syaoran teased.
" I don't ever want to drive a stick shift again." Sakura sighed.
"Daijobu?" Tomoyo asked everyone.
"Hai."
Eventually everyone entered the Kinomoto house laughing, out of relief or possibly insaneness thinking they were still alive. Naruku scanned the area for Touya. He was in the kitchen making lunch.
"Konnichiwa Oniisan." Sakura greeted warmly.
"Konnichiwa." He replied unnoticeably until Naruku squeezed him from behind. Touya had a disgusted look etched on his face. Sakura and Tomoyo could only giggle. Yukito came from downstairs greeting everyone. Sakura and Syaoran had the exact same thought and smirked to each other. Yukito is the reason Touya woke up late and didn't pester them for sleeping beside each other on the couch. Tomoyo had some more thoughts brewing through her mind. She fished through her pocket and fingered the velvet box. They all sat down to lunch in the Kinomoto kitchen. Naruku sat across fromYukito and gave her patented death glare and as before he would only smile back. Eriole sat beside Tomoyo, and Sakura sat beside Syaoran. Each couple smiling only talking amongst themselves as Naruku tested her glare against Yukito as Touya continued to cook. Kero and Spinel waited upstairs in impatience to eat what ever was left over. The anxiety seemed to over weigh everyone inside the Kinomoto household just waiting for the festival. They all just knew, this was going to be along day….
A/N: Okay, a few changes to the story, Kero wasn't exactly sealed back into the book of Clow but he is guarding them most of time in the stuffed animal form. It's more like he can pop in and out of the book. Just to clear that little piece of information for you. You really can't write a CCS fic with out mentioning Kero at least once. ^_^
