Me: MEANIES!! Well anyway, at least some people liked it =P
Luigi and Nazzy: HA!
Me: Ok back to the story *ushers them out of the room*
"Moshi moshi, Sakura Li desu," Sakura said into the phone.
"SAKURA-CHAN!" Tomoyo said cheerfully.
"Tomoyo-chan! I missed you sooo much! I'm coming to England soon ok!? I missed you a lot!!" Sakura kept on repeating.
"Sakura-chan, please calm down!" Tomoyo said giggling. "Oh yes, congratulations on your baby!"
"Arigato gozaimasu! I wanted you to be the first to know!" Sakura said grinning into the phone.
"Well of course, I am your best friend aren't I?" Tomoyo said.
"Of course! Anyway, about England. Syaoran and me will arrive in England in about four days!" Sakura said excitedly into the phone.
"Oh good! Li-kun is coming," Tomoyo said. Eriol automatically looked at her with concern. Tomoyo just faced him and stuck her tongue out. "It'll be great to talk to him again," Tomoyo resumed saying into the phone.
"Yep, he says hi to ya!" Sakura said genkily.
"Well good, and Eriol-kun said that you can stay in his mansion. Its gargantuan! There are at least 50 open rooms he never uses," Tomoyo said.
"Sugoi! And tell Eriol-kun arigato!" Sakura said happily. "Ok so we'll see you in four days?"
"Yup, we'll pick you up. What time are you arriving?" Tomoyo asked.
"Um…I believe 10 in the morning in England," Sakura explained.
"Excellent! We'll see you there," Tomoyo said.
"Uhoh I gotta go! Jaa ne Tomoyo-chan! Can't wait to see you and say hi to Eriol-kun for me!" Sakura shouted before she hung up.
"Jaa!" Tomoyo said into the phone. She then hung up the phone and told Eriol all the details.
"Well, four days huh? That'll be perfect!" Eriol said. "But did they mention how long they were staying?"
"Iie, I forgot to ask them!" Tomoyo said anxiously.
"Its ok, they can stay as long as they want," Eriol said.
"Good!" Tomoyo said happily. "Your so nice Eriol-kun!" At that same moment, the phone rang. Tomoyo jumped up and picked it up. "It must be Sakura-chan," she mouthed to him.
"Hello? Hiiragizawa residence," Tomoyo said lightly into the phone.
"Hello. May I ask who is speaking?" a feminine voice asked.
"Yes, this is Tomoyo Daidouji, Mr. Hiiragizawa's roommate," she said into the phone. She then mouthed to Eriol, 'It isn't Sakura-chan! It's a woman'. Eriol just nodded and took up his newspaper and started reading.
"Daidouji-san?" the woman said surprised.
"Yes, er…do I know you?" Tomoyo said into the phone.
"Do you remember me, I was your teacher," the voice said.
"MIZUKI-SENSEI!?" Tomoyo said shocked. Eriol's eyes immediately went to Tomoyo.
"Is it Kaho!?" Eriol asked in alarm.
Tomoyo nodded, and Eriol got up and tried to get to the phone. 'Wait!' she mouthed to him. Eriol nodded, slightly annoyed but sat down again.
"So you do remember me," Kaho said.
"Hai, so what brings you to call here?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well I wanted to talk to Eriol," Kaho said. "May I speak with him?"
"Of course, wait one second," Tomoyo said coldly. She still remembered the pain that she had caused Eriol and she disliked her a lot. She handed the phone to Eriol, which he promptly took. Tomoyo sat down and started reading the newspaper on the couch.
"Hello?" Eriol said, trying to keep his voice normal.
"Eriol, do you remember me?" Kaho asked.
"Ka…ho…" Eriol started choking out.
"…Well you do seem to," Kaho laughed.
"I thought you died," Eriol said. He decided for now to best to pretend that he never had that dream.
"No, I survived," Kaho said shortly.
"…But they said you died on the hospital bed, and since I wasn't conscious yet, I missed the funeral," Eriol argued back.
"They said Eriol," Kaho stated. "I left without telling you, because I decided it was time to break up with you."
"…" Eriol was still speechless. Its been several years, and now she calls him?
"And well I made a mistake," Kaho continued.
"A mistake?" Eriol asked coldly.
"Yes, a mistake Eriol. I want you back in my life," Kaho said earnestly. "I want you back Eriol."
"…" Eriol now was really angry. She had thrown him away like a ragdoll and now she wants him back. "You want me back," he asked in awe.
"Yes, it was a mistake, how many times do I have to repeat that!?" Kaho said a little annoyed.
"…You hurt me…and now you want me back," he said in disbelief. Tomoyo glanced up from the newspaper in worry. She stood up and held Eriol's shaking hand.
"Well I'm coming to England anyway," Kaho said obstinately.
"Fine," Eriol said.
"I know you miss me," Kaho said. (A/N: She is very conceited and evil in this fanfic, gome ne to Kaho-lovers! I promise I won't do it again >_
"Fine," Eriol said again.
"Jaa," she then hung up. Eriol breathed in a deep breath and sat down. Tomoyo sat down next to him and inquired, "So what happened?"
"That…that…cankerblossom (a/n: see I'm using Shakespeare language instead of *cough * curses *cough *) wants me back," he whispered.
"…Mizuki-sensei? And what's a cankerblossom?" Tomoyo asked.
"Mere Shakespeare language from the play, Midsummer Night's Dream. Hermia's line in Act three scene two (A/N: I'm doing this line in my Shakespeare skit by the way ^^) And it means well an idiot (A/N: Or in my language, crackhead!)" Eriol explained.
"Ahh…I see," Tomoyo speculated.
"And she says she wants to come back," Eriol said shaking.
"She did?" Tomoyo asked, glancing at his eyes. They seemed to burn with confusion.
"Yes, and she's staying here. She said she's coming in three weeks, but can I deal with it?" Eriol sobbed suddenly. "The woman of my life who broke my heart is coming back, can I deal with it?!?!?" He cracked up and started to sob uncontrollably.
"Eriol-kun, its ok!" Tomoyo whispered. "It's really up to you who you care for, and if you love Mizuki-sensei, you will definitely find a way in your heart to forgive her… Or you can find somebody else to love." Inside Tomoyo was raging as well, 'what on earth possessed me to say that? 'somebody else to love'?! Am I really falling for Eriol-kun!?'
"Your right Tomoyo-san," Eriol said finally. "I can forgive her if I want, but I don't think I can."
"Why not?" Tomoyo asked carefully.
"She hurt me more than anybody has ever done, Tomoyo-san," Eriol said plaintively.
"So you can't forgive her then?" Tomoyo asked. 'Well personally I wouldn't forgive her either'
"Gomen ne, I'm really confusing you now," Eriol said dejectedly. "It's just that we both suffered so much, and I just am over her now I guess."
"It's ok, I feel the same way with Sakura-chan," she said awkwardly.
"But right now, I just want to do one thing," he whispered.
"What?" Tomoyo asked.
"You already know what," Eriol said. He once again pushed her down onto the couch and kissed her on the mouth.
Ideas raced inside Tomoyo's head as he kissed her. 'I don't know if this is right, but it feels right. I don't know…but right now, its perfect for me,' she thought to herself. She pulled away and said, "Let's stay likes this for awhile ok? It feels better when I have someone with me."
Eriol just nodded and hugged her there…
Ten minutes later…
"ERIOL-SAMA!!!! SUPPI-CHAN IN-" Nakuru shouted as she ran into the room. She froze at the sight she just saw. Eriol and Tomoyo were hugging each other on the couch! "KAWAII!!"
Eriol and Tomoyo sat straight up, hiding their blushes by looking down. "Uh..uh..we were uh…" Eriol trailed off.
"Um…we were uh…sparring on the couch and we fell!" Tomoyo said not too brightly.
"…Do you expect me to believe that Tomoyo-sama?" Nakuru said slyly.
"Yes! That's what we were doing weren't we Eriol-kun?" Tomoyo asked urgently.
"Yes! That's what we were doing!" he managed to say.
"…And you mean to tell me you guys weren't hugging on the couch, or maybe even kissing? You guys are pathetic!" Nakuru said genkily. "But you are sooooo right for each other!" she continued.
"Nakuru-san!" shouted Tomoyo, a bit miffed.
"Yup, admit it! You guys like each other," Nakuru accused.
"Irk?" Eriol tried to protest, but all that came out was 'irk'.
"Yay! Tomoyo-sama and Eriol-sama are gonna get married!" Nakuru started singing. All Tomoyo and Eriol do was blush.
Four days later at the airport…
"Sakura-chan! Here!" shouted Tomoyo at the auburn haired woman.
"Tomoyo-chan!" the lady screamed back. She automatically dragged the brown-haired man with her to Tomoyo. "You've changed sooo much!"
"So have you!" Tomoyo cried happily. Then Sakura flung herself at Tomoyo. Tomoyo stiffened, contact. Before she would have always been happy whenever Sakura hugged her, she felt good inside. But now it was just a hug between friends. She wondered what the change in her was…
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Sakura-san, my kawaii descendant," Eriol said calmly.
"Hiiragizawa!!" shouted Syaoran, a bit flustered. "What are you doing here!?"
"I didn't tell we're staying at Eriol-kun's place, because I know he wouldn't have come if he knew," Sakura whispered to Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Ahh," they nodded simultaneously.
"What are you talking about?" Syaoran asked suspiciously.
"Nothing," the trio chorused.
"…humph," he muttered.
"Well let's go," Eriol suggested.
"To where?" Syaoran asked suspiciously.
"Why, to the place where you will be staying, ne Sakura-san? I'm sure that you have traveled a long time and the jet lag must be quite tiring," Eriol said.
"Oh yes! I am tired…" Sakura said, rubbing her eyes.
"Yes, let's go," Tomoyo agreed. She took Eriol by the arm and the four walked out of the airport.
As Eriol drove, Tomoyo pointed out the sights for Sakura and Syaoran.
"Sugoi! England is sooo sugoi!" Sakura kept on repeating. "Ne, Syaoran-kun?"
"Hai," Syaoran agreed as they glanced out the window. "Now, where are we staying? Sakura wouldn't tell me."
"Um…" Tomoyo began.
"We're staying at Eriol-kun's manor," Sakura said.
"NANI!??!?!" screamed Syaoran.
"Li-kun! Calm down!" Tomoyo scolded.
"Yes, my kawaii descendant, do calm down! I am going to crash because of you!" Eriol also rebuked.
"I'd rather crash then sleep in the Hiiragizawa manor," he muttered to his wife.
"Be nice Syaoran! I don't see why you still hold a grudge against him!" Sakura reproached.
"He might steal you away or something! I know he's evil! He's EVIL!" he shouted, overacting a bit.
"Who's evil?" Eriol asked innocently.
"…" Tomoyo giggled and brought out a camera.
"Tomoyo-san, why did you bring a camera?" Eriol inquired.
"Why, to record all the kawaii Sakura and Syaoran moments! Plus, Sakura kawaii desu wa and Syaoran kawaii desu wa!" she shouted happily.
Everybody sweatdropped, but Eriol thought in concern, "Why is she doing this?"
"Old habits die hard I suppose," Eriol said nonchalantly.
"I guess so," Sakura agreed.
"And here is your room," Eriol pointed inside a bedroom. It looked pretty much like Eriol's master bedroom, but it had two beds. "You can push the two together if you want."
"Arigato Eriol-kun!" Sakura said hugging Eriol around the shoulders.
"Your welcome," Eriol said.
Syaoran frowned suspiciously at Eriol and said, "Watch it Hiiragizawa!"
"Mou Syaoran! You know I'm your wife!" Sakura said. Syaoran just nodded, but his frown remained in place.
"Now, is anybody hungry?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yes! I want to EAT!!!" Sakura said enthusiastically.
"My, you do sound like Kero-chan!" Tomoyo said grinning. Sakura just nodded.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!" screamed Nakuru. She ran up to Sakura and hugged her until she could barely breathe.
"Nakuru-san…" Sakura managed to choke out. Syaoran automatically removed Nakuru from Sakura and stood in front of her protectively. Tomoyo was recording this as well.
"Kawaii!" she shouted. Everybody turned to her and started sweatdropping.
"Daidouji-san, must you?" Syaoran inquired.
"Yes I must!" Tomoyo insisted. 'Why do I keep on doing this? I am over Sakura, aren't I?'
"Well let's eat then!" Nakuru said, dragging Sakura after her.
"Yes, let's go," Eriol agreed.
They group of five descended together down to the dining room. Over the last four days, Tomoyo worked hard to do some designing in it to make it look extra special, and it worked. It was not only beautiful, it was magnificent.
"Kirei!" complimented Sakura.
"Yes, very well done Daidouji-san," Syaoran agreed.
"How did you know it was me?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well, you always had that talent!" he explained. "Plus Hiiragizawa would never have the talent to do this," he muttered barely audible.
"I heard that," Eriol said, feigning the look that he was hurt.
"Don' listen to him Eriol-kun," Sakura automatically said.
"Ok let's eat, ne?" Tomoyo said.
"Oishii!" Sakura and Syaoran shouted when they took a bite of Eriol's specially prepared (a/n: no not sandwiches) chocolate cake!
"Excellent," Syaoran complimented.
"Arigato," Eriol said calmly.
"PWEAH!" Syaoran sputtered. "YOU MADE THIS HIIRAGIZAWA?!"
"Yes, is that a problem?" he asked, grinning.
"It must be poisoned or something!" he shouted. "Sakura!! Are you all right?!" He took Sakura's piece of cake.
"Mou Syaoran! Its delicious, and why on earth would Eriol-kun try to poison us? See Tomoyo and Eriol are both eating it!" Sakura argued. She frowned and tried to get it back.
"Really Li-kun, I did not poison it," Eriol said seriously.
"Fine," Syaoran replied indignantly.
"That's right Syaoran!" Sakura said childishly. She grabbed her piece of cake again and began eating.
"Hehe," giggled Tomoyo. Sakura, Eriol, and Syaoran turned to find Tomoyo taping it all. Tomoyo turned off her camera and said, "How could I pass off the opportunity?" All three people just fell anime style.
"Well then," Syaoran managed to say after he recovered from his fall.
"Do you guys want to go to sleep now?" Tomoyo asked.
"Oh no, we must talk to you for awhile! Its been a long time since we have chatted like this, all four of us!" Sakura insisted.
"Ok, well then follow me," Eriol instructed. The four adults stood up and went into the living room. The four settled down on two couches, Syaoran and Sakura on one, and Tomoyo and Eriol on the other.
"England is a really nice place," Sakura commented. "Its very beautiful here too!"
"Hai, and the people are really helpful and kind," Tomoyo said.
"That's good. Daidouji-san, what do you do as a job and where do you live?" Syaoran asked.
"Well I work in a fashion boutique not very far from here. And where I live, I live here with Eriol—" Tomoyo explained.
"NANI!?!?!" screamed Syaoran.
"Er…I live with Eriol-kun. Is that a problem Li-kun?" Tomoyo asked, giggling.
"…Hiiragizawa!! If you so much as TOUCH a hair on Daidouji-san's head, you will be dead in a split second!! You hear?!?! Nobody comes near my wife's best—" Syaoran threatened. He gave Eriol one of his famous death glares.
"I most certainly never would hurt Tomoyo-san! She is one of my greatest friends," Eriol cut in smoothly. "Really my kawaii descendant! I would never ever imagine hurting her at all. Especially in the way I suppose your thinking!"
"…" Syaoran blushed in embarrassment.
"Mou Syaoran! Don't be so hard on Eriol-kun, he is a kind and sweet person!" Sakura rebuked. Syaoran just nodded but continued glaring at Eriol.
"Ano…Eriol-kun. If Tomoyo-san lives with you…where's Mizuki-sensei?" asked Sakura.
Eriol tensed up visibly at the mention of Kaho's name and swallowed with difficulty. Tomoyo looked at him in worry and held his hand. "She broke up with me in the most idiotic way. And she left me in despair. But I'm glad that Tomoyo's here to comfort me," he said slowly.
"Hontou!?" Sakura said in amazement. Of all people, Mizuki-sensei seemed to be the last person who would ever do that to anybody. "What did she do?"
"She faked her death, and left me. They never let me go to her "funeral" saying I was too weak. I had broken my leg then, but I know I could've gone. She just paid them to tell me that idiotic crap. Now she wants me back," Eriol said bitterly.
"That's horrible!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I knew she would do something like that," Syaoran said. "She was a weird woman from the beginning. And I believe she also dumped my brother-in-law." After Sakura and Syaoran married, Touya had come to terms with Syaoran and they had actually got along well because they had one thing in common: caring for Sakura. And from that, they didn't hate each other…much.
"Mizuki-sensei must have changed a lot. Before she was so kind!" Sakura argued. "I didn't believe it myself," Tomoyo said quietly. "And the way Eriol found out was painful emotionally."
"How?" Syaoran asked.
"I have visions. All magic people have visions, especially the more powerful ones. I had a vision…replaying the whole incident from Kaho's point of view. And Kaho's thoughts. Very painful to do," he said in choppy sentences.
"Ok! How about we go to bed now ne? I bet you two are very sleepy!" Tomoyo suggested. She glanced at the couple with a, I'll-tell-you-guys-tomorrow look.
Syaoran caught on and said, "Hai." He then took Sakura by the arm up to their room. "Oyashumi," they chorused.
"Oyashumi," Eriol and Tomoyo said back. After Syaoran and Sakura were totally out of sight, Eriol and Tomoyo flopped back down on the sofa. Eriol sniffled a bit, but no tears came.
"Arigato Tomoyo-san," Eriol said.
"For what?" Tomoyo asked.
"For everything. Thank you for taking them away before I started crying again," he answered. "And everything else."
Tomoyo smiled and said, "What are good friends for? And Eriol-kun, if you need to talk to somebody during the night, just come into my room."
"Arigato. And same with you too," Eriol replied grinning.
"Oyashumi," Tomoyo whispered.
"Oyashumi Tomoyo-san," Eriol whispered back. Then the both went up to their rooms, and a thunderstorm began.
"Eriol-kun?" said a tentative voice behind his door.
"Hai? Is it Tomoyo-san?" Eriol asked groggily.
"Hai, may I come in?" Tomoyo asked.
"Of course," Eriol said sitting up and putting on his glasses.
Tomoyo stepped in wearing her usual violet nightgown. "Ano…is it ok if we can talk for awhile? I can't sleep," she said softly.
"Of course!" Eriol said sitting up. Tomoyo walked up to his bed and sat down on the covers. "Afraid of thunderstorms I suppose?"
"Hai…I just can't seem to get to sleep when thunderstorms start," Tomoyo said softly. "I'm afraid."
"Ahh I see," Eriol said understandingly. "Everybody's afraid of something."
"What are you afraid of?" Tomoyo asked questionly.
"Funny…Sakura asked the same thing several years ago at the ski resort. And I answer again, it's a secret," he said mysteriously.
"So what do you want to talk about Eriol-kun?" Tomoyo asked.
"I don't know, how about we plan what we're going to do tomorrow with my kawaii descendant and Sakura-san?" Eriol suggested.
"Good id—" Tomoyo started but she stopped in mid-sentence when a crack of thunder was heard overhead. She grabbed Eriol's pj's in fright.
"It's ok," he comforted her.
"I'm sooo scared," she whimpered. "Why do I have to be afraid of thunderstorms?"
"As I said before, everybody's afraid of something. Why Sakura-san's afraid of ghosts, Li-kun's afraid of me, you're afraid of thunderstorms," he said.
"Hehe how do you know Li-kun's afraid of you?" she asked giggling.
"Oh because he thinks I'm going to take away Sakura-san or something. Before it was just a joke! Plus it was fun to be evil!" he said laughing.
"Oh really," she speculated.
"Yup!" he said a little too loud.
"Eriol-kun?" muttered a sleepy Sakura from across the hallway. "Is something wrong?"
"Iie! Nothing's wrong!" Tomoyo shouted back. She heard slow footsteps and Sakura opened the door.
"Tomoyo-chan? What are you doing in Eriol-kun's bed?" Sakura asked sleepily. She forgot her manners when she was this sleepy.
Tomoyo immediately blushed and said, "I couldn't sleep…".
"And we agreed, whenever we needed to talk to each other, we would wake each other up, no matter what time," Eriol hurriedly explained.
"Ahh I see, oyashumi to the both of you," Sakura muttered.
"Oyashumi," Tomoyo and Eriol chorused.
"You must really like him Tomoyo-chan, and you must like her a lot Eriol-kun," she said before she left. Tomoyo burned up as did Eriol.
"Um…Eriol-kun?" said Tomoyo.
"Nani?" he asked back.
"Can you still find it in your heart to forgive Mizuki-sensei?" she asked.
"Maybe I can," he said.
"Well it seems she loves you now if she's coming back," she said.
"Should I though?" asked Eriol.
"I don't know, it's your choice," Tomoyo whispered. 'Even if I fall for you, your happiness is mine.'
"I guess I should, I was in love with her for a long time," he said.
"Good," Tomoyo said smiling. But inside, her heart was in turmoil and her feelings were confused. 'I should be happy for him, but I'm not…I'm not really in love with him…am I?'
"…Demo…" he said almost inaudibly.
"Nani?" Tomoyo asked.
"What if it doesn't feel right?" he said unsure.
"If you really love her, it will feel right. If you don't, it won't," Tomoyo said wisely.
"Arigato Tomoyo-san," Eriol said. "I never knew the reincarnated Clow Read would need advice on his love life," he said chuckling.
"Well that's why I'm here!" Tomoyo said back, grinning.
"Yeah, I suppose the great Clow Read had to be bad at something and needed help," he said jokingly.
Tomoyo swatted his head playfully and laughed. "Yup!" The rain slowly stopped as they continued talking, and soon enough both of them fell asleep next to each other.
"MINNA-SAN!!! Breakfast!" shouted Tomoyo from downstairs. She turned to Eriol, who was finishing up the bacon. "I'll pour the milk."
"Ok," he replied. He then flipped over the bacon expertly and after they were done to the crisp, he put them on six plates.
Soon enough they heart Sakura's, "HOOOOOOOEEE!!! I'm gonna be late for WORK!!"
"Sakura! We're at HIIRAGIZAWA'S manor!" Syaoran said grumpily.
"Oh, heheh, then ten more minutes," Sakura said sleepily.
"Come on, we still have to go sight-seeing today," Syaoran argued.
"Oh YAY!!" in a flash, Sakura was downstairs, dragging a tired Syaoran. Nakuru and Spinel soon came down as well.
"Ohayo minna-san!" Nakuru said cheerfully.
"Ohayo," everybody replied.
"Let's eat! What's for breakfast Eriol-sama, Tomoyo-sama?" she asked.
"We're having bacon and eggs, and please stop calling me –sama!" Tomoyo insisted.
"But its soo kawaii! Cuz I know your in love with Eriol-sama!" Nakuru said.
"I am not!" Tomoyo said, blushing. "Oh and Sakura-chan? Please forget about what you said last night."
"What did I say?" Sakura asked.
"Oh never mind," Tomoyo said in relief. "She doesn't remember!" she mouthed to Eriol.
"Good," he mouthed back. "Ok, well let's eat!" Everybody sat down and said grace.
"Oishii!" Nakuru exclaimed. "Suppi-chan, have some!"
"Don't call me Suppi-chan!" Spinel said angrily. But he took a bite of the bacon and eggs and said, "Oishii!" as well.
"So Sakura-chan, we're going to go touring today. And we'll visit my workplace," Tomoyo said. "Do you want to go? If you don't we can do something else you know."
"Of course I want to go! And I can't wait to see your designs! I bet they are sooo pretty!!" Sakura said.
"Um…Sakura-san? This may sound a bit rude, but how long are you staying? That way we'll know which days we can do what," Eriol explained.
"Ah! I forgot to tell you! Um…is two weeks ok? Syaoran has been overworking himself again," Sakura said grinning.
"Oh that's just perfect! That way, we can do tons of fun things!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"…Sakura, was this also to get me away from WORK!?" Syaoran demanded.
"Yes! Okaa-san (referring to Yelan) encouraged me to anyway!' Sakura said.
"What!? MAMA ni gang le shen me!" he said in Chinese.
"…" Sakura sweatdropped, "She told me you were working way too hard on the Li Clan matters so she personally told me to bring you somewhere to relax and not to tell you."
"But who'll take care of the Li Clan while I'm away?!" he said in alarm.
"Okaa-san of course," Sakura said smiling.
"…" Syaoran sat there speechless.
"Well, you guys should get dressed if you want to go touring as soon as possible! There's a lot to see, ne Tomoyo-san?" said Eriol. Tomoyo nodded her head vigorously.
"Well then we gotta finish breakfast then! Syaoran, hyaku!" Sakura insisted. She started wolfing down her breakfast and was done in a few seconds.
"How can you eat so fast?!" Tomoyo asked, her eyes bugging out.
"Practice I guess," she said, sweatdropping.
Syaoran finished soon after her and the both of them ran upstairs to get dressed.
After a long day of touring…they are back at the manor
"England is sooo sugoi!" Sakura said grinning as she plopped onto the sofa.
"…Sakura…I'm…so…tired," Syaoran said exhausted. He flopped down next to her.
"…Yes Sakura-chan has a lot of energy," Tomoyo commented.
"Hai," Eriol agreed.
"Tomoyo-chan! Your fashion boutique is sooo pretty! And your designs are awesome! I'm going to buy some soon ok?" Sakura said.
"You don't have to buy them! You're my best friend! I can make them for you! But of course I have to add more frills, and ribbons and…" Tomoyo trailed off as everybody stared at her. "Nani?"
"You won't change ever will you Tomoyo-san…" Eriol trailed off exasperatedly. Syaoran and Sakura just nodded.
At that moment, the phone rang. Eriol stood up and picked it up, "Hello, this is the Hiiragizawa manor. May I ask who is speaking?"
"Eriol!" said a familiar voice.
"Kaho," he said. "I—"
"I have something to tell you! I want you to meet my new boyfriend when we come to England ok?" she cut in.
"Oh…ok," Eriol said, heart slightly hurt.
"He's sooo wonderful and handsome! And we'll be arriving in England in about 1 day!" Kaho said excitedly.
"How long have you been seeing him?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo looked up horrified. She just didn't understand how Kaho could be this cruel towards Eriol. Syaoran and Sakura had looks identical to Tomoyo's.
"About a week! He's great!" Kaho said.
"That's good to know, and you still want to visit England?" Eriol asked politely. "Yes! Of course!" Kaho said firmly.
"Ok, we'll make the preparations. By the way, Li-kun and Sakura-san are staying here for awhile for vacation," Eriol said chokingly into the phone. On his face, it looked polite and apathetic, but inside he was burning with fury.
"Oh that's wonderful," Kaho said cheerfully. "It will be great to see them both again."
After a few more minutes, Eriol hung up and he sat down looking even more haggard and tired.
"Poor Eriol-kun," Sakura said sympathetically. "You must be crushed."
"Not so much as I thought I would be," Eriol said quietly. "Just shocked at her idiocy."
"For once, I agree with Hiiragizawa! What is that woman thinking!" Syaoran said in annoyance.
"I don't know what she's doing," Tomoyo said softly. She glanced at Eriol and a look of pity filled her eyes.
Nakuru and Spinel were at the entrance of the room, having heard of the whole conversation. Nakuru whispered to Spinel, "Suppi-chan! Look how evil Kaho-san is!"
"I know! And don't call me Suppi-chan!" Spinel agreed.
"Poor Eriol-sama! Good thing he has Tomoyo-sama there with him. She really ought to go out with her you know! They are perfect for each other," Nakuru stated. "I will get them together if it's the last thing I do."
"I'll help!" Spinel said calmly. "They do deserve to be together after all they've been through."
"Nakuru-san? Spinel Sun? What are you doing there?" Sakura asked.
"Um…we were talking what we wanted for dinner tonight!" Nakuru said quickly. "I was thinking of making some cookies for everybody!"
"Ah! If you make them, you have to let me taste them first onegai?" Sakura said smiling.
"Of course!" Nakuru said back. "Well me and Suppi-chan have to go…"
"To the library!" Spinel finished. The two left and ran upstairs to Nakuru's room.
"I never thought an airhead like you could come up with something so intelligent," Spinel said.
"…What DID YOU JUST SAY!?!?" Nakuru shouted. She started hitting Spinel at the head. "I know! I have some extra Touya cookies left that have TONS of sugar in them!"
"NO NO!!!!" Spinel protested. He flew around the room, trying to get out, but Nakuru locked the door.
"HA! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR CALLING ME AN AIRHEAD!" Nakuru shouted. And she got her cookies, which were on her desk next to a picture of Touya. She started stuffing them down poor Spinel's throat.
Downstairs, the four adults sweatdropped as they heard bangs and shouts. "Eriol-kun? What are they doing up there in the library anyway?" Sakura asked.
"I can't imagine what…I suppose Spinel-Sun just insulted Ruby Moon again about something," Eriol said perceptively.
"Ahh I see," Sakura replied.
"So Hiiragizawa, when's Mizuki-sensei coming?" Syaoran asked.
"She changed it from my several weeks to tomorrow…so you'll see her," Eriol said, trying to sound light-hearted.
"Mou…that rude now?" Tomoyo said slightly angered.
"I agree with Tomoyo-chan!!" Sakura said. "I just can't imagine Mizuki-sensei being this mean (a/n: neither can I ^^;)!"
"People change Sakura-san, their personalities especially," Eriol explained calmly. "Well, we should eat dinner now, ne Eriol-kun? I'm sure you guys are starving," Tomoyo said, quickly changing the subject.
