A/N: Um, I'm kind of sorry to say that this chapter may not be as romantic
as the others because I'm trying to keep an open mind of the suggestions
that I'm getting. Anyways, keep in mind that Sakura does have magic beyond
the use of the Sakura cards. I haven't written about her "new powers" since
the chapter with the Romance Card!

Destined Love
By: Beloved
Dedicated to (as you might expect) all my readers, especially to all of those who review me. This chapter also goes out to Ruby Moon (because she was the one who gave me the name of the card) and also to Shinigami (because I'll be using an idea she offered to me).
Chapter 7: Pains of Misunderstandings
~*~*~*~*~
September was moving itself along, and Tomoyo Daidouji was trying to find the perfect present for her boyfriend because their three-month anniversary was coming up soon. She smiled at all the memories that she and Eriol made since they were together. She was glad that she could have a boyfriend that she could trust. Walking down the street, Tomoyo saw kids playing in front of the toy store, two elderly men playing checkers in front of the corner store, her friend Naoko laughing in Eriol's arms in front of the bookstore...
Tomoyo stopped in her tracks with the sight in front of her. Eriol was cheating on her? He had a girl in his arms that wasn't her. How could he do this? Look at him, just laughing away as if he didn't love anybody else. Tomoyo saw enough. Doing her best to ignore the sharp pain of what seemed like being stabbed in the heart, she turned around to run away, looking for someone to help her hurt Eriol, the same way he hurt her.
~*~(Bookstore)~*~
Eriol Hiiragizawa was walking along, hoping that he wouldn't run into Tomoyo any time soon. There was something that he needed to do, and everything would go wrong if she knew anything about it. All of a sudden, something caught he eye, and Eriol turned his head. It was just this girl making out with some guy. There was something familiar about this girl, though. Her height, her hair, her clothes...wait that girl was Tomoyo, and she was kissing someone else!
Eriol was so angry, that he was only seeing red. He stormed up to the guy who was obviously taking advantage of his sweet girlfriend, and ripped him away from Tomoyo. Once they were separated, Eriol punched the jerk unmercifully in his face. He guy ran away like the coward he was.
"Why did you do that for?" yelled Tomoyo in an annoyed voice. "Are you trying to ruin all my fun?"
Eriol was confused, but then he realized that Tomoyo wasn't as innocent as she seemed.
"I was only trying to look out for my girlfriend, but it looks as if she could take care of herself!" Eriol yelled back.
Tomoyo couldn't believe what she was hearing. She knew better than to believe that Eriol saw her as his girlfriend. She decided that this charade was going to end now.
"At this point, I'm not your girlfriend anymore!" Tomoyo screamed in a bitter voice.
"Fine!" Eriol answered. "From this moment, we're through!
"I wouldn't have it any other way," she responded coldly before turning around, and running away with stubborn tears rolling down her cheeks, despite her efforts to stop them.
~*~(Sakura's house)~*~
"I'm telling you Syaoran, I don't like what's going on at all."
Sakura sighed as she plopped on her bed with the phone, waiting for her boyfriend's response.
"I know what you mean, Sakura," Syaoran answered softy, trying to bring his girlfriend's spirits up. "All we have to do is figure out which cards to use to fix this mess."
Sakura sighed. She called Syaoran as soon as she finished talking to Tomoyo. The emerald-eyed teen wasn't too happy with the fight her best friend got in with Eriol. The card that's on the loose doesn't sound very nice, and it had to be caught before it tore up another couple.
"What about the Cuddle Card?" suggested Sakura. "I mean, it brought them together before. Maybe it could work again."
"It's worth a try," answered Syaoran. "I'll be right over."
They both hung up, and Sakura went to get the new cards that she and Syaoran created using their love. As soon as she got down stairs, the doorbell rang, and Sakura opened the door for Syaoran.
"Are you ready?" Syaoran asked with nothing but love shining through his amber eyes.
"The sooner we start this, the sooner we get this over with," she answered with a weak smile.
Syaoran could see how much pain Sakura was feeling for her best friend.
"Oh Syaoran," Sakura said with tears welling in her spring green eyes. "What if the card comes after us next? I don't want to lose you."
The teen took his girlfriend in his arms, and held on to her tight.
"Nothing is ever going to break us apart, my love," he murmured. "Please don't ever forget that."
Sakura looked up, and leaned forward to kiss his waiting lips. "I won't," she whispered with a smile.
Syaoran kissed both of her eyes to kiss away any remaining tears. They had important work to do.
~*~(Eriol's house)~*~
Eriol was back in his dark room, planning his return to England. With Tomoyo mad at him, there was no reason to stay in Toemoda. He was half of the reincarnation of the all mighty Clow Reed. He didn't need some girl to make him happy. Those stunning amethyst eyes did nothing to him...
Oh, whom was he kidding? Definitely not himself. Nonetheless, Tomoyo didn't seem to want to be with him anymore. Maybe he should go talk to her. Before he left his room, the thought of Tomoyo kissing another guy came back to him, and the feeling of anger flooded through his system once more.
'No,' he thought to himself. 'I will not go running back to her. She doesn't deserve a second chance.'
~*~(Sakura's house)~*~
There she stood, just as adorable from when they captured her the first time. Her hair was just as golden, and her crystal clear blue eyes were just as brilliant. Except this time the Cuddle Card refused to cooperate.
"Are you sure you can't do anything to help us?" Sakura asked the card in a pleading voice.
The little spirit shook her head, causing her curls to swing to and fro to her delight. Syaoran crouched down to meet Cuddle's eye level.
"Can you tell me why?" he asked softly. The spirit smiled in acceptance. She looked both ways, and whispered something in Syaoran's ear. Once she was finished, the teen got up, and signalled to his girlfriend that Cuddle was ready to go back in her card form. Once Sakura sealed the card, she gave Syaoran a grin.
"You know Syaoran, you'd make a pretty good father," Sakura said truthfully, getting the expected blush from Syaoran. "So what did our little spirit tell you?"
"Well, she told me that she was to 'scaiwed', if you get what I mean," he answered with a smirk.
Sakura giggled as she sat on the couch. "Oh, the poor thing, being scared and all. So I guess we're going to need another card."
"You got any ideas?" Syaoran asked as he lay down on the couch, resting his head comfortably on Sakura's lap. "What about the Rendezvous?"
"Nah, that wouldn't work," Sakura answered, absentmindedly running her fingers through Syaoran's messy hair. "Hey, what about the Unite Card?"
"Syaoran looked up. "It's worth a try."
~*~(Tomoyo's house)~*~
The tears never seemed to stop falling down Tomoyo's pale cheeks. What was happening? She wasn't supposed to be upset. If Eriol was going to cheat on her with someone who she thought was her friend, so be it. He's a reincarnation of Clow. He could do what ever he wanted; Tomoyo wasn't going to stop him.
'Maybe I could at least talk to him before I make up my mind,' she thought to herself.
She started to walk towards the door when the scene of Naoko laughing in Eriol's arms flashed through her head. Amethyst eyes that were usually warm and friendly turned icy cold, and Tomoyo made the decision to stay as she was without bothering someone who she thought loved her.
~*~(Sakura's house)~*~
"Sure, I'd love to help you," the Unite Card said happily. "Just remember, even though I can bring your friends back together physically, I can't change any feelings inside."
Sakura and Syaoran simultaneously sighed in relief. They were actually getting somewhere!
"No problem," Sakura said in a thankful tone. "We were told that we had to use two cards for this capture."
"We appreciate all your help," added Syaoran. "Would you have any ideas on what the other card could be?"
Unite raised her hazel eyes to the ceiling as she underwent deep thought. Then she said, "All I can tell you is that there's only one card that you could use. This card is willing to lend a hand to mend any lover's spat. This card is also the only card that could control the card that's on the loose."
The card captors were mulling over the new information in their heads, when they both figured out which card to use. That was when the phone rang, and Sakura left to go answer it.
"Hello?" she began. "Oh hi Eriol...WHAT? ...You're at the AIRPORT? ... You're going back to ENGLAND? Wait right there!"
"Come on," said Sakura, grabbing her coat and tossing Syaoran's his. "We have no time to lose!"
Syaoran caught his coat, and told the Untie Card to bring Tomoyo at the airport right away. The spirit left in a flash, and so did Sakura and Syaoran. All thanks to Sakura's teleportation ability.
~*~(Airport)~*~
The sapphire-eyed teen waited impatiently for his friends to arrive. He didn't want to miss his flight, even though he promised Sakura that he'll wait for her and Syaoran. He scanned the area, looking for a familiar face or two. Finally his gaze rested on a clearing, and while he was wondering why such an empty space was so alluring, a white light flashed before him. Just before Eriol closed his eyes as a reflex, he was able to notice the flow of a green dress that a spirit with brown hair was wearing. Once his eyes adjusted to the surroundings, Eriol only saw one thing that mattered the most to him.
Tomoyo Daidouji, his only love for now and ever.
Suddenly, all the thoughts of her kissing someone else were pushed aside, and Eriol was willing to listen for an explanation. Surely, there must be one. He felt all the walls around him go down one by one with every step he took to get closer to the one he loved.
Tomoyo was dazed and confused. One moment, she was in her room. Then all of a sudden, she had a strong urge to see Eriol, despite what had happened earlier. With those feelings at hand, she felt a gust of wind that made her close her eyes involuntary. Once she reopened her eyes, she found herself in an airport...with Eriol walking towards her.
Without thinking, Tomoyo ran straight into Eriol's waiting arms. Once she felt safe enough, she bursted into tears.
"I'm so sorry," she cried. "But when I saw Naoko laughing in your arms, I didn't know what else to do."
Eriol was confused for a moment, but once he racked through his memories, the incident came back to him.
"Oh Tomoyo," he murmured in her hair. "Naoko just tripped, and I caught her before she fell down. Nothing more than that."
"Then why did it look like so much more?" she asked.
Eriol closed his eyes, and let his senses wander. Then at the very edge of his magical barrier, he felt the presence of a dark spirit, and a light one. Eriol sighed with the information he gathered.
"One of the new cards are playing around with our feelings," he informed. "But Sakura and Syaoran caught on, and they sent out some cards to fix this mess."
"Eriol, I was so scared that I lost you," Tomoyo said, her face buried in Eriol's shirt.
"Me too," confessed Eriol in a strangled voice.
Tomoyo's head shot up. Since when was Eriol afraid of anything? With his powers, he was able to do almost everything.
"I didn't know what I'd do if I would have never had the chance to hold you in my arms again," he continued. "I realized that you're the light in my life that makes everything brighter."
"Then for now on, when ever something confuses me, I'll go straight to you instead of assuming the worst," promised Tomoyo.
"And I, you," answered Eriol as he bent his head down for a much missed kiss.
Once their promise was sealed, two cards departed from the couple, and floated towards their creators who were standing behind the wall.
"I can't believe we picked the right cards," Sakura said softly as both cards changed into their spirit form.
In the end, it was the Heal Card that had to be used. There was no other card in the deck that would of pushed Tomoyo and Eriol far enough away from their suspicions from each other to talk. The Heal Card took her motherly form, and she had a stern expression on her face as she looked at the second spirit.
"Young man, you should be ashamed of yourself," she said with her hands on her hips.
The new spirit was a teenager dressed in a leather jacket, and had an expression in his eyes that defined trouble.
"Aw, I was jus' havin' a little fun," he answered. He looked towards Sakura and Syaoran, with a sly smile, he said, "The name's Argument if y'all wanna know."
Sakura sighed, and waited for the next clue. It never came.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" asked Syaoran who was waiting as well.
"Oh, that right, I'm supposed to give you a clue," Argument said slowly. "Well, y'all ain't gettin' it, 'cause I ain't recitin' some stupid poem!"
With those words, the Argument spirit transformed itself in his card form, and slipped in Sakura's hand.
"Don't worry, sweetie," Heal soothed. "All you need to know is that the next card you capture will be your last. It will also be a card that affects all the lovers that are destined to be together."
Sakura smiled brilliantly at Heal with the new knowledge that her and Syaoran's journey will soon be complete. She quickly sealed the card, and then turned to Syaoran.
"Can you believe that?" she asked, emerald eyes sparkling. "We're almost finished capturing all the cards!"
Syaoran returned the smile, and wrapped his arms around her, not wanting to let go.
"You do know what that means," he said softly.
"Why don't you tell me," answered Sakura, who had no idea what her boyfriend was talking about.
Syaoran lowered his head until his mouth was beside Sakura's ear, and murmured, "I get to spend more time alone with you."
Sakura blushed deeply as she made no effort to wipe away her smile. She was with the one she loved, and nothing else mattered.

A/N: Yuck, that was probably my worst chapter yet! _. Okay, so maybe it wasn't so bad. There's only one more chapter left, everybody! Please tell me what you think of this chapter! If it was as bad as I thought it was, please don't send any flames! I'm hoping that the next chapter will be out next week. I still haven't written it yet. Happy holidays!
