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 4: The mystery of Sakura and Li Conspiracy.
Same old setting
Eriol watched in horror as Syaoran's hands continued to descend on him. He quickly ran out of the way. Suddenly he got what Syaoran was saying… or rather he thought he did.
"Sya…Syaoran…is it true they are coming out to the society now?"
Syaoran stopped. "Eh..nani?"
Eriol eyed him with disgust. "Have you told Sakura yet? Poor girl, you courted her and then she doesn't know this…"
"Oi, what are you talking about?!"
Eriol shook his head sadly."I never thought my own descendant will have a hidden desire for me…"
A streak of lightning…a very powerful one…struck down a magician who is currently having very graphic imaginations. Syaoran shook a very burnt Eriol till his teeth chattered.
"Oi, sukebe!! I'm not doing this because I desire you, moron. Who would have hidden desires on you anyway…"
"Oh. Then I must be wrong, I guess." Eriol said distractedly, thinking why he wasn't able to dodge the attack. "Kami, I smell burnt."
"You are burnt, Hiiragizawa. And I did that as punishment for your crimes."
"Er…crimes?"
"Did you not know it is a crime to make ladies cry?!" Syaoran almost yelled.
"Oh that. Gomenne, Li-kun. I was just helping Sakura turn the Clow Cards to Sakura Cards. I didn't mean to make her suffer for…"
"That's not it baka senzo! Heavens, this is more difficult than I thought.."
Eriol looked at him and smiled. "Oh, then you must mean the time I was alone with Sakura during the skiing trip. I'm sorry if I rejected her. Maybe that's why she came to you. She knows we'll never end up to…uh..are you alright?"
He is now facing a very red Syaoran. He then thought maybe it was a bad idea to mention the skiing trip. He started shaking – who knows what a very angry descendant could do to his ancestor.
"Hiiragizawa," his ancestor began. Kami, he has fangs? Eriol thought. "You are making this difficult for me, Sakura and Tomoyo.."
That hit him hard. Tomoyo… "What does Tomoyo have to do with it?" he asked warily.
"Heavens, you are daft!" Syaoran exclaimed. "I never knew why Tomoyo even liked you in the first place, you baka senzo."
Tomoyo…likes me? "Like…?" He asked softly, but not soft enough to be unheard by Syaoran.
"Gods, you are the most insensitive person I have ever met," Syaoran finally said, exasperated. "Why do you think she was so happy when she saw you. She had been waiting four long years for you to come back. You never wrote, or called so she was sad most of the time…and I can't believe you don't know?! Are you human?" He sat down on the park bench and sighed.
Tomoyo likes me? Eriol thought again. It's unbelievable…
"So, now you know, baka senzo. Let's now find a way to tell her how you feel, ne."
Eriol glanced at his descendant. "How do you even know how I feel?"
That statement made Syaoran scratch his head. "It's written all over your face, man. And I think I am male enough to understand what you are feeling. So, does that make it clear?"
No, definitely…it became more complicated… Eriol thought. He hasn't been thinking of confessing his love to Tomoyo. It might cause more problems, now that he almost broke Tomoyo's heart. What if she doesn't like him anymore…
Syaoran, on the other hand, doesn't seem to mind Eriol's thoughts. "You have to convince her you are in love with her. You have to sweet-talk her, give her gifts, escort her to almost everything…"
Eriol could hardly believe his ears… This, my descendant…calls me baka and gives me lectures on women??
"And now we think about your first date. First you gotta have flowers. Then take her to her favorite place. Then you kiss."
"Kiss??"
"Yeah, a date always ends with a kiss."
"Did you …did you and Sakura do that on your fist date?"
Syaoran, as usual, turned red. "We kinda got uhm…oh never mind that!" That, caught Eriol's smile. "And do you know how to wear a raincoat in the shower?" he continued.
*Blink blink* "Raincoat, what is so difficult about that?" Eriol asked.
"Geez, you are supposed to be more mature than me," Syaoran wailed. "Raincoat in the shower means, you know, um…" he suddenly blushed, "When you and the girl make out, you must not forget to bring a con…"
"Oh yeah yeah, I know that," Eriol hastily said. Looking at each other, they found out both of them were blushing and sweating profusely. Kami, do we have to talk about this so early… the powerful magician thought.
"Okay so it's settled. Next is …"
"Li-kun, how come you know about these things when you didn't do it while courting Sakura?"
"Sakura lectured me before we came here to meet you two. I was just repeating what she told me."
"Sakura taught you the raincoat thing too?" Eriol grinned as Syaoran blushed once more.
"No…it was taught to me by…uh…her onii-chan"
"Touya?? Since when did you get so close?"
"……"
Eriol sighed. "Never mind. Go on with your lecture…"
~*~
"Sakura-chan, what are you grinning about?" Tomoyo curiously asked.
Sakura grinned ruefully. "Oh nothing. Just wondering about the "Eriol-kun" thing…since when did you call each other with affection, ne?"
Tomoyo felt a blush coming and bowed her head. "We decided to call each other by our first names since we have been friends for long"
Sakura skidded to a stop and pressed her friend against a wall. "Listen, my very best friend," she started. "I know you like Eriol-kun very much and we gotta find a way to tell him your feelings."
"Ara…is it that obvious?" Sakura nodded grimly.
"W…well, I can't tell him. I think he likes somebody else…like Mizuki-sensei…"
Sakura slapped Tomoyo on her back. "Ha ha, it will be easy as 1-2-3. You'll see. All it takes is a little flirting…"
Author's note:
Nikki: Whatever Tomoyo and Sakura talked about remains a secret…but you will soon find out…
