Chapter 6: A Visit to Syaoran's Apartment
"Thanks minna-san for the breakfast!" Tomoyo said gratefully.
Everyone there had finished their breakfast.
"Anything for our newmistress!" Nakuru said playfully.
Eriol glared at her while blushing just a little. Yelan got up and went up to the room where she was staying. Everyone was staring at her as she climbed up the stairs slowly and sadly.
"It's been a really tough time for okaa-sama…you know…with Syaoran and everything," Fanren said sorrowfully watching her usually proud mother.
Everyone was silent, just listening to the rain falling. Then the doorbell rang.
Tomoyo glanced at her watch and saw that it was 11:00, "I wonder who it is? It's not 12:00 yet."
"Well, we'll be upstairs if you need anything, Master Eriol," Nakuru said putting away the dishes. Nakuru and Syaoran's sisters went upstairs as the door rang again.
"I'll get that, Eriol," Tomoyo said.
As Tomoyo opened the door she was shocked to find Sakura there.
"Tomoyo? Who is it?" Eriol asked as he came to the door too. He was also shocked.
"Sakura!? Why are you here? It's an hour early."
"Well I finished my chores extra fast and I went here to check if Eriol wanted to come with me and Tomoyo to Syaoran's house. I didn't know that Tomoyo was going to be here," Sakura got an evil glint in her eyes, "So how long has this been going on? Why didn't you tell me?"
"We're just friends," Eriol explained.
"Yeah. I ran away from home. My dad is supposed to call to talk to me," Tomoyo added blushing.
"Oh him again? The one who hasn't contacted you for awhile?" Sakura said looking at Tomoyo worriedly.
Tomoyo nodded slowly, "Yes."
"Well, why don't you come in Sakura?" Eriol asked politely.
Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol walked into a huge room with the fireplace and sat down on the couches. The fireplaced filled them with warmth as it also brought light.
"So, do you want to come with us, Eriol?" Sakura asked.
Eriol smiled. "Of course, I'll never miss the chance of teasing my cute 'lil descendant."
"You know, I'm getting quite annoyed that you and Syaoran aren't telling us something that we should know. We're best friends aren't we?" Tomoyo said.
Eriol heaved a big sigh. Silence enveloped the room once again, not a thing was heard except the fire crackling.
"Well, I guess we should go to Syaoran's now," Sakura stated, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
Tomoyo and Eriol nodded. Tomoyo borrowed Nakuru's coat while Eriol and Sakura had theirs'. It was still raining, but not as much as before. Eriol told Nakuru and the others where they were going and they left the big house and headed to Syaoran's house.
~~~~~
Sakura pushed the apartment doorbell and waited. The three stood there waiting for the door to open. When the door didn't open, Sakura tried opening the door. It was open like the last time she went into his apartment. The three went inside and looked for him.
"Syaoran?" Tomoyo called.
No answer.
"Syaoran? Where are you?" Sakura said.
No answer.
They searched for him but couldn't find him.
After looking in the kitchen and his room, they sat down on the couch in the room where they had first came in. It was like the main room of the apartment.
"Maybe he stepped out," Sakura said.
At that moment Syaoran came into the room unnoticed. The couch wasn't facing the door he came in from so they didn't see him. He stood there listening to their conversation.
"Hey Sakura, I wonder why you finished your chores so fast. You're never early for anything," Tomoyo teased Sakura.
Eriol followed, "Yeah, why would you finish all your chores one hour early just to see my cute lil descendant?"
Eriol and Tomoyo smiled.
Syaoran winced when he heard Eriol call him his 'cute lil descendant'. Syaoran hated that name. But he decided not to kill him yet. He wanted to hear the rest of the conversation.
'Sakura really finished her chores early? To come here?' Syaoran's hopeful heart jumped.
"You guys…please…there is nothing going on between Syaoran and me," Sakura assured.
"Sakura, you really don't feel anything for him?" Eriol asked.
"Well, he is my friend and that's it. I don't feel anything else for him. Why should I?" Sakura lied.
Sakura thought, 'I can't tell them this feeling I have for him yet.'
"Honestly?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well…yeah…" Sakura lied again.
"Poor descendant…" Eriol mumbled softly.
"Nani?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing."
Syaoran's heart broke into a million pieces.
'I knew it…Eriol was wrong, she doesn't feel anything for me…she said it herself. I'm such a baka, thinking that she might actually like me…'
"Kuso…" Syaoran said a little loudly.
The three on the couch turned their heads and saw Syaoran.
"Hoee!! S-Syaoran! How long have you been here?" Sakura asked nervously.
"Long enough…" he whispered. Luckily the others didn't hear him.
Sakura blinked, not hearing his response. "Nani?"
"Just a second ago," he lied.
"Did you hear what we said?"
"Was there something to hear?"
Sakura sighed in relief. But Eriol and Tomoyo knew Syaoran was lying. They could see right through him. They looked at him sadly. He had come in at the wrong moment.
"Why couldn't we sense your aura?" Eriol asked.
"I knew you guys were going to look for me so I put a spell on myself to cover my aura," Syaoran replied.
"So where were you?" Tomoyo asked.
"Just out…So why are you guys here?"
"We just wanted to talk to you. You seemed upset when you ran off before at my house," Sakura explained.
"Oh…"
"Yeah, so are you okay my cute 'lil descendant?" Eriol asked smiling.
Syaoran glared at him, "Don't call me that!"
Tomoyo and Sakura giggled while Eriol smirked at the angry Syaoran.
It was almost like before. Before Syaoran got the call from his mother informing him to become the Li clan leader, before Sakura started getting feelings for him, before Eriol found out that Syaoran was Li clan leader and before Tomoyo had gotten feelings for Eriol.
"This is just like before," Sakura said.
"Before Syaoran got the phone call from his mom," Tomoyo continued.
Eriol stopped smiling and Syaoran stopped being angry at Eriol.
They both looked at the floor.
"Hoe? Did we say something wrong?" Sakura asked.
"Oh it's nothing…" Syaoran said.
Eriol forced a smile, "We must not always linger in the past, you know."
"What do you mean?"
Silence once again.
"How are my sisters and mother doing, Eriol?" Syaoran asked.
"They're really worried about you…"
"By the way Syaoran, don't you think you need more pictures or stuff in here? Like of your family or something?" Tomoyo asked.
Syaoran winced, "I guess… Well, I have to go visit my mother."
"I have to speak with her also," Eriol added.
"I better get home," Tomoyo said.
"Me too…bye Syaoran, Eriol," Sakura said, "We can tell you're upset from something, Syaoran, We'll try to cheer you up somehow."
"Thanks."
"Well, ja ne," Sakura and Tomoyo said as they walked out the door.
Syaoran and Eriol soon followed out the door and headed for Eriol's house.
~~~~~
"Xiao Lang?" Yelan was surprised that her son came to talk to her, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, you are my mother. And you did come all the way from Hong Kong to see me."
"Syaoran, I didn't want you to become the leader."
Syaoran sighed. This was just like his mother, just straight to the point.
Syaoran said, "It's alright. It was my choice."
"But, do you know exactly when Katana will be able to break free?" Eriol asked.
"You will know when he tries to warn the cardmistress," Yelan answered.
"How will he warn her?"
"It depends."
"That stupid demon won't hurt her will he?" Syaoran asked.
"I don't know."
Syaoran made a fist with his hands. 'He better not…'
"Why do you care so much about the cardmistress, Syaoran?" Yelan asked.
Syaoran blushed. "Well…I…you know…I… have to protect her and stuff like that."
"Is that all, cute descendant?" Eriol teased.
Syaoran glared at Eriol.
"Stop fighting you two. I have to go now, I can feel that the elders are calling to me," Yelan said walking out the door.
~~~~~
"Tell me the truth. Were you there when we were talking in your apartment?" Eriol asked.
"…fine…I was there."
"Syaoran…once you tell Sakura how you feel, I think she will let out all her feelings about you. I don't think she meant what she said."
"What do you know?"
"I'm just telling you what I think."
'Should I tell her? Even though I know she doesn't feel the same way?'
TO BE CONTINUED…
