::Chapter 7::

Shiori was suspiciously glancing at Eriol while he was directing them into his house, but inside she was fuming. Her protective side was showing through and Eriol couldn't help but feel her glares send a cold shiver to the back of his neck. Sure he was used to the meaningful glances of the village people, but they didn't really know him. This girl obviously had close ties to Tomoyo; almost best friends if you discounted her -sama's. He waved his arm gallantly letting Tomoyo with Miru latched onto her and Shiori sidestepping as if she was wary of Eriol. He sighed, what he hoped would be a chance to become friends with Tomoyo would prove challenging indeed. He liked challenges.

Inside Tomoyo saw that Eriol's current living space wasn't too shabby; in fact if she wasn't rich herself she would be gaping in awe. She placed Miru on the floor and moved towards a painting, it was beautiful illustration of birds in flight, making all sorts of variations of the same patterns. She was about to graze her hand lightly over the piece when a blur appeared and latched onto her with a hug of death. "Gyahh." Was the only sound she could make in the moment, anymore and her lungs would deflate. She almost forgot how strong Nakuru's hugs were. She put a lot of feeling into each and this was a three year's of worth hug. Eriol and Shiori both wore horrified at Tomoyo's face, while Shiori was trying to un-clench Nakuru's arm. Eriol ordered to Nakuru that he was hugging Tomoyo enough.

Smiling sheepishly and apologizing with a friendly smile, Nakuru directed Tomoyo who was tipsy like a drunken elf, Shiori who calmed down, and Miru who was oblivious as was his puppy nature. Eriol sighed and looked up as Spinel Sun appeared, he had been hiding and as much as he wanted to see Tomoyo. He knew that he couldn't let Shiori see him. "Ne Eriol-sama…when will Yukito and Touya get here?" he queried. Eriol took a moment with his face concentrating, "Aa…only three more days…before the whole place becomes a danger zone" he said seriously losing his smirk for a minute. Spinel spoke up as if analyzing, "You should take Tomoyo-sama out before anything else happens." Eriol turned and was about to leave before replying, "Give me those three days ne? If not then she can leave whenever she wants."

Tomoyo hopped on top of her four poster bed and reveled in its bounciness, she knew she should be unpacking and get ready for dinner. Right now she wanted to rest up from the jet lag, it should have been easy to figure that Eriol would know she would be coming, he always seemed to know what was happening. She knew Eriol had magic and that he was once regarded as the enemy, but she knew he had to train Sakura-chan, preparing her for the final confrontation. She was glad that she had carefully packed hats; it was going to be hot and even if it wasn't the UV rays could kill.

Suddenly she heard a knocking at her door and realized it was Shiori, they shared a secret knock, and only the two of them knew it. She had to admit it seemed a girly thing to do but, it was like a code and she could always tell who could be on the other side of her door. Swinging her legs to the side of her bed she got up, just as Shiori opened the door. Silently closing the door Shiori appraised her mistress, "Daidouji-sama…is this the business you were talking about? Is this why I'm here?" she was barraging her mistress with questions but she was just so confused.

"Well…we'll be saving money this way ne Shiori?" Tomoyo answered simply, upon seeing Shiori's distress deepen she sighed and continued, "I wanted to see Eriol-kun again ne? My company's in such great shape that, even if I died it wouldn't make a difference. I don't want to be like mother and work myself to death." Tomoyo stopped and checked to see if Shiori was satisfied with her answer, it seemed she was but she was looking in her mistress as if she should believe or ask more questions. Finally Shiori stood up and called to Tomoyo that Nakuru told her to pass on the message that dinner would be ready in ten more minutes.
