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 6: The Operation E/T Begins…
The next day at school…
"Ohayo, Eriol-kun," Tomoyo greeted the very confused boy. He couldn't sleep well last night, and was worrying if he had hurt Tomoyo's feelings that much.
What's wrong with him? Why is he staring to space like that? Is he missing home already? the amethyst-eyed girl thought. "Are you alright?" Tomoyo tried again. Eriol looked up to her and smiled.
"Hai, I was just thinking about homework." Ne, I swear she is blushing…for heaven's sake does she really like me?
"Oh," was the reply from her seatmate as she quietly sat down. Tomoyo put her head on her hands and wondered. Geez, I should ask him or comfort him or something…he's so weird…well, Eriol has always been…weird…
I must tell her now before my inheritor and my crazy descendant do something stupid… Eriol thought. He approached Tomoyo's table. "Tomoyo-chan," he said with effort.
"Nani? Do you need anything?"
"Uh, I need to talk to you."
Ara?! "What about, Eriol-kun?"
Kami, she loves saying my name, Eriol thought. I really love it when she says it like that… Just then, memories of Kaho and their last night together flooded in. Startled, Eriol almost fell out of his chair.
"Eriol-kun! Daijobu desu wa?" Tomoyo inquired, concerned. Oh my God! He must have known I like him and now he's going to say he loves Kaho so I shouldn't waste my time making him mine… Close to tears, Tomoyo turned her pretty head away from the boy.
"I…uh… don't think we should talk about this right now," she said.
Eriol pushed his glasses up his nose. "Uh…no?"
Don't spill tears…don't don't!! Tomoyo turned back and smiled. "Yeah. We could talk about this later, when I'm ready."
Ready?? Does that mean she's not ready to accept my love for her? Maybe she wants to stay as friends?? Eriol put up a kind face. "Okay then. Later…"
Somewhere outside…
"Syao-kun, stop squashing me!!!" a very tiny Sakura irritably said.
"But, if I don't get close to you, they might see us," replied a very tiny Syaoran. "We should've thought of other ways to spy them…"
"And what would that be?" Sakura asked her boyfriend. "If we are our regular size, he'll feel our presence. That's why I used the Little Card so we can climb on the windowsill…"
Suddenly, Eriol faced the window… "He's gonna see us…he's gonna beat us up till we are bloody and then suck our blood…"
"Stop it, Syao-kun! I don't think Eriol is that cruel," Sakura scolded, watching out for Eriol's glance.
"I really think he is a vampire. Why the hell do you think he is still alive? And why is he so pale… I can't help thinking that later on, he'll show his fangs, hold up Tomoyo and sink his teeth to her white neck and then…he's gonna get us!!!!!" After saying his suspicions, he suddenly tickled Sakura, causing the girl to grasp on the windowsill more.
"Syao-kun, stop it!!" Sakura manage to say between fits of giggles.
"He'll go…'reawrr'" Syaoran roared, demonstrating what he thinks Eriol will do to his girlfriend.
"Stop it, you know I'm ticklish…no… not there!!! We'll fall…aaaahh!!!"
And they fell. Luckily, Sakura has the Fly Card.
"Shucks, Syao-kun," Sakura said, brushing off dust on her uniform. "I didn't cut classes to play with you, you know."
Syaoran pasted his most pitiful little wolf look. "Aaaw…you are no fun Sakura."
Sakura stuck out his tongue at him. C'mon, we have to do the plan. Because of you, I
already used up two cards. I'll go unarmed if any trouble comes."
"Ok, Ok, Let's use the change card now."
"Change? When did I say I'll use change?"
"Nah, I just thought you should change with Tomoyo and you'll be the one to tell him how she feels…although…I don't approve of that."
Sakura giggled. "Okay, Let's proceed with the REAL plan…"
"Anou, Tomoyo, don't you feel something strange?" Eriol asked his seatmate. He stood up and walked over to her chair.
"Ara?! What is it Eriol-kun?"
Eriol pointed to the door, then to the classroom clock. "W are five minutes late in starting class, but none of our class mates have entered yet."
With that, Tomoyo had to agree. "Let's go outside. Maybe we are in a wrong room or something."
Gathering her things, she followed Eriol to the door. Sliding the door opened, they both turned paler (if they could be) with what they saw. The hallway of the school became interlocking mazes, and there was not a soul in sight.
Impulsively, Tomoyo laid a hand on Eriol's shoulder. Eriol turned to her and said, "Daijobu. I'll try to see the cause of this. Why don't you call Sakura?" He held the hand on his shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
Tomoyo nodded and reached for her phone while Eriol tried to unleash his power and see what's wrong. Threads of fire burst out from his right hand, revealing the staff he once used against Sakura. The seal of Clow began to appear on the floor. He raised his staff and pointed it towards the hallway. A blast of electricity flowed out and ran through the hallway. The young wizard then mumbled a strange incantation and invoked his power again.
"Power of Clow, know thy oppressor…"
"A…are??"
Nothing happened.
*Blink Blink* What happened? He thought, panicking. My magic is not responding? Is it because we have a more powerful foe…or… Eriol's eyes widen with terror…or my magic is disappearing?
Meanwhile…on the other side of the wall…
"Ouch, Syao-kun, your elbow hit my eye!" Sakura complained.
"Gomenne, I was about to fall…here let me cure it…" Syaoran replied playfully…moving to plant a kiss on Sakura's face.
"Yamete! Hey look at that," Sakura pointed. They were currently up on a tree near Tomoyo's and Eriol's classroom, shielded from view by the Mist Card. They both saw Eriol summon his powers and failed.
"Your power is much stronger than his now, Sakura-chan."
"No, it's just that Eriol could not control the Sakura Cards anymore," Sakura slyly replied, remembering that it was she and the Maze Card who put Tomoyo and Eriol in a big dilemma. I'll finally get them to be together, and soon…they'll be confessing each other's feelings….muaaahahahahahahahahaha…..
*Ring….riiiiinnnnnnggg*
"Drat, the phone's ringing…it's Tomoyo!!!" Syaoran warned.
"What do I do now?" Sakura unthinkingly asked.
"Do something or they'll notice us!!"
"Silent Card!" The phone stopped ringing.
"Whew, that was close," Sakura breathed with relief.
"It's because you carried your bag all the way up here…" Syaoran frowned. "What do you have in that bag anyway?"
An evil smile crept up Sakura's face. "Something that will make Tomoyo pay for making me wear those costumes."
"Eh?"
Sakura held up a video camera, raised her wand and invoked two cards. "Fly and
Through!"
Author's note:
Nikki: well well well, Sakura and Syaoran's fun is just starting. Will they be able to force Eriol to confess his love for Tomoyo?
Eriol: Why do you always bully me and not Tomoyo?
Nikki: hmmm…dunno…okay…let's move on!!!!!
Eriol: …… -.-'……..
