Chapter 5: Tomoyo Escapes
Eriol woke up groggily when he saw that it was morning. He didn't have much sleep with the noise from Nakuru's room. Syaoran's sisters were staying with Nakuru in her room, and you can only imagine all the giggling and gossiping they did. Yelan, stayed in Suppi's room (yes that little guardian has a room all to himself) so Suppi slept in Eriol's room.
"Did you sleep at all Spinel Sun?" Eriol asked crankily.
Suppi yawned. "Not really."
Eriol got up and changed. It was Sunday morning so he didn't have school. Eriol was planning to just stay in his room and read. Plus it was raining outside so his friends probably wouldn't make any plans.
'I should go visit my cute 'lil descendant later though. I'll try to cheer him up.'

"Okaa-san?"
"Yes, Tomoyo? Make it quick I have to read these files." Sonomi Daijoubi said quickly looking over a pile of papers on her desk.
"I'm sorry to disturb you in your office, but you said we were going to spend time together today."
"Oh I'm so sorry Tomoyo. I can't, I know I promised you we would, but the company has big problems right now. Do you want me to send a maid to take my place?"
Tomoyo saddened.
"Oh it's okay…I'm sure I'll find something to do…"
"Stay home today…your father might call and he will want to speak to you…"
Tomoyo's amethyst eyes widened. 'Oh no…not father…I don't want to talk to him right now…'
Sonomi looked at her daughter.
"Are you okay?"
"Hai…I'll leave you to your work now."
Tomoyo walked out of the room and shut the door. She heard her mother speaking to someone on the phone.
'She spends more time with the company than with me…and I spent all yesterday planning out the day.'
Tomoyo walked sadly to her room. Her bodyguards and maids saw her looking sad and they all knew that her mother had canceled their plans once again. Tomoyo walked into her room and saw the unfinished outfit on her bed. It was for Sakura of course but since there were no more enemies or cards, Sakura didn't have any reasons to wear her outfits. Tomoyo sighed.
'Sakura has spent a lot of time with Syaoran…she's growing farther apart from me…just like Okaa-san. But Sakura is meant to be with Syaoran. I know he wouldn't hurt her. But what about me? Stop acting like this Tomoyo! Stop being so selfish' Tomoyo couldn't help it though.
'I have nothing to do on this rainy day. I don't want to talk to father…ever since mom and he got divorced he never contacted us. Why would he want to talk to us now? He's rich too. He has a great wife. Why would he contact us now? I have to get out of here. I could go to Sakura's house maybe.'
Tomoyo picked up her cell-phone and called Sakura's cell.
"Moshi moshi?" Sakura said at the other line.
"Hi Sakura! It's Tomoyo."
"Hi Tomoyo! What's wrong?" Sakura asked noticing her best friend's voice.
"Nothing. Do you have to do anything this afternoon?"
"Unfortunately yes. I have to do all my brother's chores because I asked him if I could hang out with you, Eriol and Syaoran last time."
Tomoyo saddened once again.
"Oh…I see…"
"Why do you ask, Tomoyo?"
"O,h for no reason really."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah…"
"Ok. Hey do you want to visit Syaoran with me as soon as I finish?"
Tomoyo brightened. "Yeah sure! What time do you think you'll be finished?"
"Umm…let's see…it's 9:37 right now, so I'll probably be done by 12:00."
"Ok. I'll meet you at you're house."
"Ok. Ja ne."
"Bye."
Tomoyo put the phone down. 'But what will I do until 12:00?'
Then Tomoyo remembered something.
FLASHBACK
"Hey why don't you come over my house for a while? We can perform for Nakuru and Spinel Sun. I'm sure they won't mind, it would also get them to stop fighting for a while."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Alright! Let's go!"
Tomoyo and Eriol started to walk to his house.
They walked in silence the whole way thinking their own thoughts. Night was starting to swallow the sun when they arrived. When they entered the house, they saw flour all over the kitchen. And of course Nakuru and Suppi were fighting.
"Oh Master you're home!!" Nakuru said cheerfully as if nothing happened.
"It's all her fault!!!" Spinel Sun shouted.
"What happened?" Eriol asked calmly.
"Er…I was trying to bake a cake. But then Suppi came and said I did it wrong…" Nakuru explained slowly.
Eriol stopped Nakuru's explanation with a sigh.
"Alright let's clean up…" Eriol said.
"I'll help too Eriol." Tomoyo replied.
"Tomoyo you don't have to."
"But I want to in exchange for letting me come over."
"You're welcome here anytime though."
END OF FLASHBACK
'Eriol said I was welcome over his house anytime…so I guess I'll go over to his house. But Okaa-san said to stay home, so how will I get pass the maids and my bodyguards?'
Tomoyo always thought of ways to escape her home. But there were always too much maids around and plus her bodyguards. Finally she thought of a plan.
'I could go to the bathroom on the first floor. Then I'll just climb out the window. But that'll be difficult since the window I small. Oh well…'
Tomoyo grabbed her bag with her camera inside -she never leaves without it- and went to the first floor bathroom. When she got there she looked out the window. It was still raining.
'Argh…I knew I forgot something…I forgot my raincoat…but people will get suspicious if I bring my coat to the bathroom. I guess I'll just have to go without it.
Then with a little bit of struggling she climbed out the tiny window.

"Nakuru can you pass the milk?"
Eriol, Nakuru, Suppi, and Syaoran's family were all at the big dining room eating their breakfast. Eriol was still tired and it looked like he was going to fall asleep any minute.
"Master Eriol, are you okay?" Nakuru asked with concern.
"Hai…I'll be okay."
"We couldn't get enough sleep last night with all the giggling and gossiping." Suppi said coldly.
"Hey, we're girls aren't we?" Nakuru said. Syaoran's sisters nodded.
"Are you sure you're a girl? I thought you were not human." Spinel Sun replied.
"I can be as much human as anyone else!"
"Yeah right."
"I can!!!"
"Would you guys stop fighting?!" Eriol shouted slamming his hand on the table.
Everyone was silent and looked at him with surprise. Usually he was so calm.
"…sorry about that." Eriol said with a small yawn, "I didn't get much sleep."
"Anyway master, if you're so tired why don't you go back to sleep?" Suppi asked.
"Well, I was planning to go to my cute lil descendant's apartment at around twelve o'clock. I thought I would go and try to cheer him up," he replied quietly.
Everyone was silent. They all remembered what had happened the night before.
FLASHBACK
"The elders felt his powers and he is about to destroy the dimension that he was trapped in. He's going to get out sooner than we thought," Syaoran's mother said.
"…H-how soon?" Syaoran asked.
"NexH week…"
"Nani?! That soon?!" Eriol said enraged.
"We can't do anything about it," she continued solemnly.
Syaoran just stood there while Eriol and his mother argued.
Syaoran ran out of the room and out of the house. Sakura started to follow him but Eriol stopped her.
"He needs time to think…" he said.
"But what is going on?" Fujitaka asked.
Touya pointed an accusing finger at Yelan and Eriol. "Yeah…we all should know! We already know about the Clow Cards and everything! What else are you hiding?!"
Yukito turned into Yue and said to Eriol, "What is going on, Clow?"
"You mean none of you know what's going to happen?" Shiefa squeaked out.
All was silent.
"You didn't even tell the cardmistress or her guardians, Clow?" Fuutie asked.
"I couldn't…." Eriol answered, "Gomensai…"
"THEN TELL US NOW!!!!" Yue said, angry.
"Please, Eriol." Tomoyo added. She put down her camcorder and stopped recording.
"…I'm sorry…It really should be my Syaoran telling you." Eriol said.
END OF FLASHBACK
All was silent. They all knew what was going to happen to Syaoran…that he would…
*DING DONG* *DING DONG*
They jumped at the sound. Everyone had been so quiet just thinking their own thoughts. Eriol got up and went to get the door. He gasped as he opened it.
"T-Tomoyo!!!"
She was all soaking wet. She was panting hard and was a little red from running in the rain.
"Hi…Eriol…" she said between pants.
"What are you doing here?"
Everyone in the dining room heard the commotion and everyone went to see what is was. They stood near the doorway.
"Oh you don't want me here?" Tomoyo replied sadly.
"O…of course I do! But why don't you have a coat? You'll get a fever."
"I just had to get out of the house. I forgot my coat though."
Eriol sweat dropped. "You forgot your coat when it's raining so hard? Couldn't you have just gone back and get it?"
"Actually I ran away…so anyway-"
"You ran away!?"
Giggles erupted from the doorway. Eriol ignored them.
"Just for awhile. So, do you want to visit Syaoran? Sakura's coming too."
"I was going to go anyway so I'll just go with you guys."
"Great!"
Tomoyo's stomach growled and she smiled sheepishly.
"I um…didn't eat anything for breakfast."
"Oh you can eat with us," Eriol replied.
"Thanks."
TO BE CONTINUED…

So…how was that.
Don't worry about Syaoran dieing and stuff, he's a big boy he can take care of himself.
^-^ I wouldn't make him die in this fanfic…but something will happen to him…*gets evil glint in eyes* MWAHAHAHA…^-^
I noticed that there isn't as much S+S kawaii moments so I'll start doing more of that.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
