The End? Chapter 2- The Meeting
Sakura waited as Tomoyo's phone rung once, twice, thrice, then finally picked up.
"Moshi, moshi." said a voice.
"Hey Tomoyo. It's Sakura. So you have some free time from designing dresses?" said Sakura. Ever since Tomoyo's mom had caught Sakura in one of Tomoyo's battle outfits, many major fashion designer stores that sold high-fashion clothes had called Tomoyo.
"Oh, I'm not busy at all. I halted everything to make something, so I'm free. Why?" she asked.
"Oh, Kero and Yue are talking about something concerning me, which will probably kill me, which Kero won't tell me, and he said he might be a while. Nothing remotely new. Tomoyo? Hold on. Kero-chan wants to tell me something. Nani?"
"Tell Daidouji-san that we need plane tickets. To England, and back. And fast."
"Nani, Kero-chan?"
"Onegai."
"Tomoyo-chan? We need to get Eriol and his group here, now, and you need to do it somehow, according to the brain of a plushie. So, I'll back it up with my approval. I mean, we all want to see Eriol-kun, ne?" said Sakura slyly. She knew that just the thought of meeting Eriol had brought a blush to Tomoyo's cheeks, since Sakura had stumbled upon a tape or two labeled 'Homework', that contained not the before mentioned subject.
"H-hai." said Tomoyo, "But can it wait until tomorrow?"
"Kero, can you wait until tomorrow? Yes Tomoyo, it can wait. See you tomorrow!" said Sakura as she hung up the phone. "Yippee! I'm going to England! I'd better go tell Otou-san and onii-chan."
-downstairs-
"Of course you can go honey." said her dad, a tall college professor, with a smile. "It's spring break, and you deserve some fun."
"Besides," said Touya, "How could dad deny me the chance to get the kaijuu out of the house for 3 days?"
"O-NII-CHAN!" said Sakura as she ran upstairs to pack. Touya smiled, then let out a yelp as his foot once again suffered the consequences of his mouth.
But many miles away, a college girl and a boy were already on a plane headed for Japan- and Sakura.
"I never said you could come!" yelled the boy into his backpack. "Spinel, what if Kero or Yue called with something regarding this magical headache? Who'd be there to receive the call?"
"Most likely we'd be there already, ringing their doorbell. Sakura has probably just started to receive dreams, if she is going to receive them at all, so Kero and Yue won't become worried until a few nights go past."
"You'd better be right." said the boy. "Or else-"
"Eriol, Spinel, quiet!" said the brown haired college girl.
"Why?"
"I'm imagining how Touya-kun will react when I come back!"
^_^'
*Hello, this is your pilot speaking. We have developed engine trouble, so will be delayed and will only reach Japan tomorrow. We apologize for the delay. Thank you and enjoy the flight.*
"Oh great." said Eriol, massaging his temples, "another day of headaches from this annoying magic."
But in Hong Kong, someone had an entirely different attitude
–next day-:
"Finally! Rid of all these headaches! I'm going to Japan!' said Syaoran, already in his seat. "I wonder what Sakura will say when she sees me…no, I'm being stupid. She likes Yukito- and I'm a friend. The end of that." He sighed. As much as he had tried, he couldn't get Sakura out of his mind.
A couple of hours later, his plane landed and he got off. He had already called a taxi but it would only be here in an hour. Getting tired of standing, he sat down a seat away from a boy and his sister, both who were reading the newspaper. He put down his stuff and pulled out his book. Sighing again, he began to read.
Just outside the airport, Sakura got out of the car, said thanks to Touya, and set off towards the airport with her backpack and her purse. As she pulled her ticket out of her purse, she groaned. She had misread the time- her plane wouldn't be departing for another 30 minutes. Grumbling, she went to the lounge. Looking for a seat, she spotted one- next to two boys. Blushing at the thought of what Tomoyo would say when she got there, but not wanting to stand, Sakura walked to the spot.
"Is anyone sitting here?" she asked the two boys, whoso faces she couldn't see.
"No." said the first boy on the left.
"No, go ahead and sit there." said the second boy who, Sakura noticed, was with his sister. Sakura sat down and put her purse on her right, next to the first boy. As she sat there, her thoughts drifted to Syaoran and Erioll, and how the first boy reminded her of Syaoran, and the second of Eriol and Nakuru. She sighed and put her elbow on her purse. As she did, her purse shifted a bit.
'Huh?' Sakura thought, as she added a little more weight to her purse [by mistake]. Now her bag moved so much, Sakura had little doubt as to who was in there.
'Oh no, Kero-chan!' she thought. The bag moved again, violently this time.
"Hmm?" said the boy on her left, "your bag's…moving?"
'Oh no, no, no!" thought Sakura. How was she going to get out of this one? 'Kero, just stay…'
"Ahhh! Fresh air!" said Kero, popping out.
"Kero!" said Sakura, making to stuff Kero back, but it was too late. Sakura closed her eyes. The boy turned and saw Kero. With a look of surprise he said,
"Stuffed animal?!?!"
"The gaki!" said Kero, instantly biting the boy's forefinger.
"Nice toy, righ-" Sakura started to say, sweat dropping, but was cut off by the boy.
"Ow, ow, ow! Get off!" the boy said shaking his finger up and down rapidly.
"Sy-Syaoran?" said Sakura uncertainly, "Is that you?"
For a second the boy stopped shaking his finger.
"Sakura?" he said, "What are you doing here? Kero," he added in a whisper, "I'll give you puddind to-let-go!"
"Vanilla." said Kero without a moment's hesitation. "Pudding, pilled up high…" he said as he plopped back in the bag.
"Syaoran, what are you doing here?" said Sakura, feeling a blush coming.
"I asked you first, what are you doing here?" said Syaoran, trying to avoid the reason and to stop his blush.
"I was going to get Eri- Kero, stop moving!" she whispered to her left, then realizing Kero was on her right.
"But that mean- Why is your bag moving?' she asked the boy to her left.
Eriol's heart stopped. Someone had discovered Spinel Sun! He slowly put down his newspaper, a million stories flying through his head, and preparing an eraser spell, when he saw not a curious passenger, but the face of-
"Sakura-san?" he said.
"Eriol!" Sakura said with a smile." Tomoyo and I were just coming to England to get you!"
Eriol looked shocked, then smiled. Sakura returned it, expecting Syaoran to say hello, or Eriol maybe, but turned around to find Syaoran and Eriol shooting daggers at each other. *Sakura sweatdrops and sigh-clouds*
"Hey, calm down you two! What if…Tomoyo is catching this on tape?" she said.
"Yeah, what if Tomoyo has been standing behind you and has been catching everything on tape?" said a female voice. Sakura, Eriol, and Syaoran turned around to find a blue-haired girl with a camcorder and a smile talking.
"Tomoyo!" yelled the three at the same time. "Ohohohohohoho!"
"Come on, everyone's invited over to my house to spend the night. It's late. C'mon!" she said with another smile. As the group collected their things, Sakura and Li reached for their bags.
Involuntarily, their hands brushed. Li could feel his ears becoming red and hot, so he quickly grabbed his bags and went. Trying to forget the incident, he lost the group and became the last reach the limo. As he put his bags in the car, he wished that- no luck. The last seat was next to Sakura. Feeling another blush come up his ears, he quickly sat down and looked out the window.
'She doesn't like you' he yelled to himself. 'She likes Yukito, maybe even Eriol- not you! He continued to look out the window.
Next to him, Sakura shifted a bit and sighed to herself. Tomoyo had run ahead, having no luggage, and had gotten a back seat. Eli had used magic, and his bags, along with Ruby's, were feather-light. He had sat next to Tomoyo, and Ruby had sat in the front. Two bodyguards had followed, leaving two seats for her.
And Syaoran. Syaoran… she could feel the back of her neck heat up. With no luck, she tried to push it down. When that didn't work, she tried to tell herself no.
'Syaoran is marrying Meilin. Let him marry Tomoyo or Ruby M. for all care. I don't care. Syaoran is mean, never smiles, is so serious, and…' Sakura stopped. Even if she lied to herself, in her heart she knew it was a lie, and what she wanted to do was… what? Be with Syaoran? But she couldn't….
She was exhausted from all the cards, and the ride to Tomoyo's seemed to take forever. She laid back and sneaked a peek at Syaoran. He was staring out the window at the endless greenery. He couldn't possibly feel the same way, right? She felt the waves of overcome her and closed her eyes. These cards were taking everything out of her.
Syaoran continued to stare out the window until he felt something on his shoulder. Sakura had fallen asleep. Sighing, he placed his hand on hers and leaned back. He was in the front, and besides, who would care if he liked Sakura? Besides Meilin, no one, right?
Wrong (well, duh). In the back, Tomoyo switched off her camcorder. 'Putting Plan A of Mission Sakura and Syaoran into action tomorrow. All systems check.' She thought, and then settled back.
Unknowingly to her, she fell asleep right on top of Eriol. He smiled and brushed a few strands of hair from her face. Then, making sure no one was looking, he gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Okay! The writing style does improve in the third chapter; it's just that it was hard compromising all that happened. I am a pretty good writer otherwise, just ask my English teachers. All the chapters are ready for you to read, so hurry up! That's all for now, Ja ne!
