Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura no matter how I try. The ladies of CLAMP does. Arigatou for letting me use your characters! ^^
Author's notes: This is the result of sleepless nights and reading Harry Potter: I think of Eriol. ^^ Anyway, this is not a very long fic, but it has three endings and it is up to you to choose which one is the most appropriate. R & R and help me choose the best ending, onegai! Thanks…
Warning: This is extremely a S+S, E+T fic. About those instances when Yukito and Touya…uhm…you'll find out in the end. ^^

Part 3: When they know more than they should know…
Next few days…
"Hiirazigawa – kun!!!" Eriol turned to see the girl of his dream float towards him.
"Ah, you are early, Daidouji – san," he cheerily said, blushing slightly. Tomoyo was wearing a thin – strapped dress, emphasizing her fair skin and long, shapely legs.
Suddenly, Tomoyo pouted. Eriol glanced at her with concern.
"Daijobu, Daidouji – san?" he asked.
"Gomen, I just thought…we have been friends for so long. You call Sakura – chan and Syaoran by their first names, but you still call me Daidouji – san."
Eriol stopped walking and faced her. "Would you…like me to call you Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo's eyes widened. "Hai. Please call me Tomoyo. And I'll call you Eriol – kun." She tossed her grayish black hair over one shoulder. "Ah, it makes us feel more close…"
Demo, I would like to be closer than that, Eriol merely sighed.
Sheesh, why did I choose this short dress, Tomoyo grumbled silently. Now he's staring at me…I can't bear it when he stares…gods…oh no…he's smiling…what is he smiling about?? Is it about the first name thing?? Sheesh, he's so hard to read.
"Tomoyo – chan!! Oh, and Eriol – kun is here, too," said a voice. Eriol glanced at the girl. Shoulder – length hair, quite a taller figure, yet, the same eyes. With her was a brown – haired young man that had grown quite handsome over the years.
"Ack, he's here…again. I wonder what he'll make us do next," the young man murmured.
Eriol flashed his trademark smile and greeted the couple. "Ohayou, Sakura, and my cute descendant."
His "Cute" descendant grumbled at the remark.
"Mou, Syao – kun. He was only kidding."
"S…s..syao – kun??" both Tomoyo and Eriol exclaimed.
"Aa," Syaoran replied. "She's been calling me like that ever since class started."
Sakura turned to him with sad eyes. "Anou, you don't like it? I could, like,…"
"Maa, maa, of course I love it, Sakura – chan," Syaoran defensively answered. "You know I love everything about you."
"T…truly?" Syaoran nodded.
"Hmm…looks like Sakura's learning to manipulate my cute descendant," Eriol observed with fake seriousness.
Tomoyo laughed and circled his arm with her. "Come on, let's eat." Eriol faintly blushed at the contact, and looked at the other couple. Mysteriously, they were looking at each other and grinning.
"Nani?" Eriol asked.
"Oh, nothing, Eriol – kun. We just missed you that's all," Sakura answered sheepishly.
While eating Tomoyo, with a little help from Sakura, filled Eriol in about the present Tomoeda and their friends. He found out that Yukito and Touya were currently pursuing college. Yue, for a change, had taken a vacation from guarding Sakura. Keroberos, meanwhile, had taken fancy of the neighborhood cats and used his free time frightening the cats to death. Naoko had started publishing her written stories, blossoming her career as a novelist. Chiharu and Yamazaki are still together, and had ended up in the same high school somewhere out of Tomoeda. Rika and Terada – sensei, are planning their engagement, but no news have reached Sakura or Tomoyo.
"I see," Eriol said, putting down his teacup. "Many have changed here since I came."
"Hai," Sakura agreed. "By the way, how's Suppi and Nakuru. And Mizuki – sensei?"
"Ah, Nakuru and Suppi are still, well, fighting over infinite subjects. I don't know if they'll ever get along like Yue and Keroberos…" Sakura laughed at the remark. "and Kaho…I have never seen her for a while…"
"Oh." Sakura perked up anyway and changed the subject. Eriol only half – listened to it. Why don't I feel a surge of happiness anymore when she mentioned Kaho's name? Is it because… He glanced at the girl beside him, who merely smiled and carried on with the conversation. He quickly stashed the ideas at the back of his head, not noticing a certain Chinese descendant of his smirk and whisper to his girlfriend.
"Oi, Sakura, call me when you get home," Syaoran called to his girlfriend.
"Hai!" was the reply. "Uh, will you be okay with Eriol-kun?" Syaoran nodded.
"I'm gonna go teach him a lesson he'll never forget." Everyone sweatdropped.
Sakura smiled knowingly and caught Tomoyo by the arm. "Jaa ne, we'll be going."
"A..anou," Eriol called out. The two girls turned around. "Ganbatte ne," he ended.
Tomoyo smiled. "We always do, Eriol-kun. Anyway, you too," she answered.
And they parted.
While walking, Syaoran began to laugh uncontrollably. Eriol looked at him with despise.
"What is it now, Li-kun?" he started to ask.
Syaoran continued his fits of laughter. Suddenly, his look turned mean.
"It's about time you come back, wizard," he strangely said. "And now that you are back, I can do this thing I wanted to do ever since…"
Eriol stared at him with horror as Syaoran raised his hands and laugh – a very evil laugh…
