Until Tomorrow
Chapter Two
"ERIOL-KUN!"
Sakura madly flapped her hands to catch Eriol's attention at the Tomoeda airport. Eriol and his guardians waved back before rushing up to them. "KONNICHI WA, ERIOL-KUN! WELCOME BACK!" Sakura squealed. Eriol gave her a quick hug as Nakura lunged at Sakura, "OOOH! HOW MUCH YOU'VE GROWN, SAKURA-CHAN! SO KAWAII!" Sakura giggled as Eriol turned to Syao Ran who pouted, "Hey my cute little descendant. Guess you're still the pouty thing as usual. Looks like we're gonna stick together for a whole lot of time." Syao Ran mumbled some cursed words under his breath. Nakura looked at Syao Ran and smiled, "SYAO RAN-KUN!" Nakura hugged him, throwing him off guard, "AKIZUKI-SAN!" Nakura giggled, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU AND SAKURA ARE FINALLY TOGETHER!!!" Syao Ran slammed his ears shut.
"Where's Spinel?" Sakura asked. Nakura smiled, "In my pocket, to avoid stares." Nakura glanced around, "Where's Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura sighed, "She got choir practice today till quite late. I doubt she can make it-"
"SAKURA-CHAN!"
Sakura spunned around and grinned widely and began waving, "TOMOYO-SAN!" Nakura squealed as she dashed towards Tomoyo, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHH! TOMOYO-SAN!!!! I MISS YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!" Nakura lunged at Tomoyo and tackled her with a huge hug. Tomoyo giggled as Nakura dragged her(almost making her fly) to the rest. Tomoyo smiled at the creature in Nakura's pocket, "Konnichi wa, Spinel-san." Spinel floated up and settled on Tomoyo's shoulder, "I just looooove your cookies, Tomoyo-san!" Tomoyo giggled as Sakura raised an eyebrow, "Tomoyo! What would you do if people ask you what's the thing on your shoulder?"
Tomoyo smiled, "I'll just say it's my greatest soft toy." Spinel giggled as Tomoyo faced Eriol and gave him a quick hug, "Welcome back, Hiiragizawa-kun!" Eriol chuckled, "Aa. You received my letter already, Daidouji-san?" Sakura raised an eyebrow, "Letter? What letter? How come I didn't known anything about it?" Tomoyo's eyes crinkled as she faced Eriol, "Yes I did. Touya-kun is already getting his first aid kit ready." Sakura widened her eyes, "Something about oniichan!? How come I didn't know? TOMOYO! TELL ME!" Tomoyo giggled, "I'm not telling, Sakura-chan."
All of them began to chatter excitedly as they head back to their little old town of Tomoeda.

"So how's school nowsadays?" Eriol asked as Tomoyo distributed the plates of cake to all of them. Sakura popped one piece in her mouth and smiled, "Aah! It's delicious! Oh yes, school's very fine. Syao Ran, when are you returning back to Hong Kong?" Syao Ran smiled, "I'm trying to play for time. Meiling and I have begged our parents to let us stay for a few more months." Sakura squealed and tackled Syao Ran with a hug, "MONTHS, SYAO RAN!? COOL!!!" Syao Ran blushed, "Yes yes. You can get off me now, Sakura-chan." Sakura blushed cutely as Tomoyo giggled, taping everything down.
Eriol smiled, "I'll go check the fridge to see if there's anything more." Eriol stood up politely and walked off. Tomoyo smiled evily, "Hai, Sakura-san. I'll rather not play gooseberry." Tomoyo took off after Eriol and joined him at the kitchen. Eriol snickered, "That's evil of us, ne, Daidouji-san?" Tomoyo laughed, "They are too kawaii." Tomoyo glanced over at Syao Ran and Sakura where Sakura was trying to drag Syao Ran up to her room to play video games.
"Fine fine! Sakura-san! Let go of me!"
"Ooooh! Syao Ran-kun! You're sooooooo kawaii!"
Tomoyo giggled as she settled back down at the dining hall as Eriol took the chair behind her. "Oh yes, Eriol." Eriol glanced at Tomoyo, "Nan desuka?" Tomoyo smiled, "It's not really your fault anyway. No one blames you for the sealed card." Eriol smiled and leant back, "Yeah. I guess so." "Anyway, we have much to thank Clow Reed for." Tomoyo said. Eriol leant forward, "Nani?" Tomoyo smiled, "Without that sealed card, Sakura-chan would never gather enough courage to tell Syao Ran-kun that she loves him." Eriol chuckled, "Oh yes." "Will you be going back to school tomorrow?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol smiled, "Yes, of course. I want to visit Yamazakii and the rest." Tomoyo giggled, "Hai."
"Oh yes. I'm sure your mother would want me to have tea over at your house, ne?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo began to choke on her drink as Eriol patted her back, "DAIJOUBU!?" Tomoyo regained back to her usual self, "Daijoubu…Okaasan…What did she said to you?" Eriol grinned, "She wrote to me when I was in England. Said she would be please to have me over for tea." Tomoyo widened her eyes, "Okaasama said that?" Eriol smiled and nodded and showed her the letter. After reading, Tomoyo slapped her forehead, "I can't believe she did this."
Eriol smiled, "Not like I'm blaming her though. So what about it?" Tomoyo shrugged and smiled, "I'll ask her later." "Hai. I'm sure it'll be a positive yes."
"PUH-LEASE, AKIZUKI-SAN! I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!"
"COME ON TOUYA-KUN! I'M SURE YOU'LL LOVE MY COOKIES!"
Touya appeared from the kitchen, running away to his bedroom with Nakura chasing with a cookie, "I'll get you Touya!" "PUH-LEASE!!!" The door slammed shut with lots of banging and shouting. Tomoyo giggled, "I sure hope Touya got his first aid kit." Eriol laughed, "Yes yes."

"Oh. So you're Mr. Hiiragizawa?" Sonomi asked at the man standing at the doorway with her daughter. Eriol tipped off his invisible hat and bowed, "Eriol will do, Daidouji-sama. How do you do?" So kind!, Sonomi thought, "Hai, I'm very fine. Come in, Eriol. I know we'll meet one day." Sonomi stole a glance at her daughter. Obviously, Tomoyo didn't seemed really happy about it all.
It's so embarrassing! Tomoyo thought. Eriol, beside her, smiled, "Hai, Daidouji-sama." Sonomi motioned to her dining table, "Tea's ready. We'll have a rather relaxing talk there, ne, Eriol?" Eriol smiled as they settled down at the dining hall. God, it's so awkward! Tomoyo thought, eyes tracing her mother and Eriol who were slowly sipping the tea.
"So Eriol, how long do you intend to stay here?" Sonomi asked politely. Eriol smiled, "A month or so. I'm planning to visit Tomoeda Elementary again." "Yes yes. Meeting your old friends, ne?" "Hai. It's been a while so I guess I do miss them." Sonomi smiled, Wow, this boy is soooooo suave and sooooo gentlemanly! My daughter is so fortunate! That's it. I'm going to get him to be my son-in-law. Sonomi smiled to herself, "Help yourself to tea, Eriol." "Arigatou, Daidouji-sama."

Tomoyo shrugged as she looked at Eriol, "Um, Hiiragizawa-kun?" Eriol looked down, "Hai, Daidouji-san?" Tomoyo sighed, "I'm sorry if Okaasan talked way too much just now." Eriol laughed, "It's nothing, really. Your mother is a rather…easy-going woman. She's a great lady in anyway." Tomoyo raised an eyebrow, "You think so?" Eriol smiled, "Truthfully, yes. So do you." Tomoyo giggled, "I'm flattered." Tomoyo ran ahead of him, "Come on, don't keep Sakura-chan waiting!" Eriol smiled and ran after Tomoyo.
"God, you're trying to tell me you got Yamazakii along?" Sakura asked, unbelievingly looking at Chiharu. Chiharu nodded sheepishly, "Gomen nasai. I really didn't mean it! He just wants to tag along!" Tomoyo rolled her eyes and started complaining good-naturedly, "You know when he and Hiiragizawa-kun pairs up, how they can talked 24 hrs a day!" Beside her, Eriol nudged her on the ribs. "Ouch!" Tomoyo shot Eriol a look as he grinned sheepishly.
"Hello!" Yamazakii greeted as he trudged towards their direction. Eriol grinned, "Takashi-kun. Have you heard the latest news of England horses? They snipe off their hair on the head just to celebrate their kind of Horses's Day?" Yamazakii smiled as he held out his forefingers, "Then have you heard of the Switzerland's honet bees? You know they are-" Everyone sweatdropped and ran off, leaving Yamazakii and Eriol alone.
"What's their prob?" Yamazakii asked, confused. Eriol laughed, "Too much lies, Takashi-kun. Too much lies."
