Emerald: Hi! Here's the next chapter. Ooh, it's kinda terrible because I'm kinda stressed out with my stupid Geog project! Arrrgh! Anyway, Chiharu's here with us today!
Chiharu: *waves* Hi!
Emerald: So, Chiharu tell us about yourself.
Chiharu: *bows* I'm Mihara Chiharu. My name means spring! I guess that's because I'm always full of energy! I was born on May 28th and my blood type is O. I love Japanese class, and art class too! Like my friend Sakura, I don't really like Maths. I'm in the school cheerleading team and my favourite colour is yellow. I love the flower freezia. My favourite food is omelette with fried rice and, of course, ICE-CREAM! Takashi-kun tells me my best dish is curry, but I don't know if I should believe him. *Sighs* The thing I want most is a ribbon… Hope Takashi-kun buys me one!
Emerald: I see. Is there something going on between you and Yamazaki?
Chiharu: *shakes head and blushes* N-no! Of course not! He just tells lots of lies and I hit him on the head. That's all…
Emerald: That's what everyone says. Anyway, will you help me with my thank you list?
Chiharu: Sure.

Chapter 6: Amethyst Eyes
Eriol's POV
I sighed in bliss. My cute little descendant was annoyed. Ah! The joy!
He was obviously jealous! It was written all over his frowning face.
"Oh, dear Sakura-chan. Your eyes are like glittering emerald set in a flawless porcelain face. Your hair is so silky and shines in the sun like spun gold," I praised her.
Syaoran made a noise that sounded like, "I need to go puke" and ran off to the nearest toilet.
I smirked. I love myself!
Sakura seemed so clueless but her face was a flaming red, "H-hooooeeeeee!"
What an adorable half daughter I have!
I looked around the beautiful city. We were now in the Daidouji Kingdom. We had taken a short cut through the woods to avoid my descendant's hot-tempered fiancée.
The houses were neat, made of bricks with strong roofs and beautiful gardens. The colossal palace loomed overhead. It was magnificent. The turrets stood proudly in the air and the palace seemed to glitter. No wonder the Daidouji Kingdom is the richest kingdom.
"Is there an inn somewhere here, Sakura-chan?" I asked her, offering my arm.
She fiddled with the long cloak that shielded her face and nodded, "There's one some metres south of the center."
My cute descendant appeared, looking very red and very annoyed when he spotted Sakura's hand on my arm. Ah! Bliss!
He gave a "Hmmph!" and glared at me as we made our way through the jostling crowd. The central was very crowded with small stalls along the paved sidewalks. People were milling around by the plenty.
"Ah! There's the inn!" my half daughter shrieked in joy. She raced towards a huge building when suddenly she ran flat into a girl about her age.
The girl blinked and then uttered, horrified, "Gomen nasai!" She stretched out her hand. I could tell from her dressing and her manners that she was brought up in a dignified household.
Sakura grabbed her hand and got to her feet. Her cloak slid down, revealing part of her face, but she pulled it up quickly.
The girl was staring at Sakura.
Hard.
Then she suddenly shrieked, "Sakura-chan! What are you doing here?"
I blinked.
Oh my…
~*~
Sakura's POV
"H-hoeee!"
The girl turned to face me and I knew her at once. There was no mistaking those amethyst eyes and silky black hair.
"T-tomoyo-chan?!"
I leapt to her and hugged her with all my might.
She hugged me back. We pulled apart and squealed in unison, "I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Sakura-chan kawaii desu!" She put her hand up to her cheek and sighed dreamily.
"H-hoeee! Tomoyo-chan!" I blushed.
I heard someone clearing his throat politely. I turned around.
Eriol-kun!
I forgot about the two boys. Li-kun had his eyes narrowed while Eriol-kun seemed to be staring intently at Tomoyo-chan.
"Oh, sorry! Tomoyo-chan, this is Prince Hiiragizawa Eriol and Prince Li Syaoran," I introduced.
They bowed politely to Tomoyo-chan.
"Wow! You've gotten yourself two dashing young men without my help! I knew you had it in you!" Tomoyo-chan nudged me and winked.
"H-hoeee? Mou, Tomoyo-chan, don't joke around! You guys, this is my best-est friend in the whole wide world, Princess Daidouji Tomoyo!"
~*~
Eriol's POV
I stared.
Wow! Daidouji-san is soooo beautiful. For once I was lost for words, just admiring her radiant beauty.
Those sparkling amethyst eyes.
That porcelain face of hers.
That long, silky hair that cascaded down her back.
My cute little descendant had this small half-smirk on his face as he watched me, so I decided it was time to regain my composure.
"Oh, beautiful Princess! It's a pleasure to meet you," I took her velvety hand and tenderly kissed it.
I expected her to be wow-ed by my charms but all she did was grin at Sakura-chan and say, "Ooh, he's a sweet one!"
I must have looked mortified as my cute little descendant started laughing.
"Way to go, four eyes!"
Hmmph, kids these days. They have no respect for their elders at all!
"Sakura-chan, why are you here?" the amethyst-eyed angel asked my half daughter.
We sat down on a nearby bench and Sakura told her what happened for the last few days.
Daidouji-san's eyes were shining with tears and her hands were clasped together, "Oh! Thank you for saving my dear Sakura-chan!"
"Er… thanks?" Syaoran replied.
"It was not a problem as we had to rescue this beautiful flower from those uncivilised men," I told Daidouji-san, gazing into her eyes.
Ooh… I think I'm smitten!
Daidouji-san smiled sweetly before turning back to her friend, "Instead of staying in the inn, why don't you guys stay with me?"
"Won't your mother tell my family?" Sakura-chan panicked.
"Don't worry. She's always been one to keep secrets. Now, no buts, Sakura! You need a good rest. And, oh my, that cloak does not suit you! I'm making you a new wardrobe at once."
And with that, sweet, beautiful Daidouji-san dragged Sakura off.
Syaoran and I blinked, but followed in their wake.
"I know you fancy her," I heard my descendant's voice in my ear.
"Ooh… Am I that obvious?"
"Yep…"
"Well, can anyone help it? She's like a twinkling star in the dark night sky, like a precious gem amongst…"
"Cut the fancy stuff, four eyes. We're way behind."
We quickened our pace and walked beside the two girls, who were chattering non-stop.
I glanced at the fair Daidouji-san.
This is bad… Eriol the great is falling in love with… her?
Oh no!
Still, she is really pretty…
~*~
Emerald: Ooh, Eriol has a CRUSH!
Chiharu: Hehe! Him? On Tomoyo?
Emerald: Why not, they make a good pair?
Chiharu: Yep, but I can't imagine the "oh-I'm-so-cool" Eriol falling in love!
Emerald: Sorry, everyone! This is a really crappy chapter. I'll try to write a better one next time. If I put the next chapter up late, sorry! I have a lot of work to do. Bye! And please review!
