Li Meiling leaned against a wall, with one hand for support. She bent over half way, breathing hard. Daidouji Tomoyo, video recorder and costume designer extraordinaire jogged up to her, out of breath.  Both teens had been chasing what Syaoran referred to as the "Terrible Four" for the past hour. The Li sisters had led them, through the residential area of Tomoeda, to the park, around Tomoeda Elementary, across Seijuu's campus, through the library (much to the librarian annoyance) and back around town to Twin Bells.

"They…sure…are…fast…" Tomoyo huffed between breaths and Meiling managed a nod as she stood.

"Yeah…did Shaoran ever tell you the story about how they helped him train?" Meiling asked, a huge goofy grin on her face.

"Nooooo." Tomoyo said pressing Meiling for more information.

"Weeeellll…." Meiling sighed as she and Tomoyo set of again, this time at a walk. "It wasn't an original training method, but it was highly effective. You see the girls like to see Shaoran in…a dress…" Meiling said and Tomoyo blinked her violet eyes widening.

"And?" She asked intrigued.

"Well…you see his mom gave them permission…if they could catch him." Meiling elaborated and Tomoyo burst into a fit of giggles.

"And I thought Sleeping Beauty was good." She said wryly. Meiling sighed as she looked at her watch.

"We'd better head to the hospital, I think they're finally going to go there." Meiling said and Tomoyo nodded as they started at a job again.

I wonder what Eriol-kun's doing…? Tomoyo wondered.

**

He was the reincarnation of one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, but now he sure didn't feel like it. He had gone to what he had thought was an emergency call, now finding he was the one in need of rescuing, let's just say. He wasn't happy.

And the dress wasn't helping, or the makeup.

They had said it was tradition that is, dressing guys up who interrupt their sleepovers…

When I get my hand on them…I'll- Eriol thought angrily as he looked at his bonds. As the somewhat evil reincarnation, had these been normal girls he would've escaped from the ropes tied around his ankle, legs, wrists and arms. But noooooo…when the almightily Clow Reed is captured…he's captured by Goddesses.

"Wow!"
"Omigod!"
"KAWAII!!!"

"You know, Clow-sama, pink really is your color." Kimiko said as she walked up to him a wicked grin on her face. He glared at her. Usually he wasn't one to play games, but with Syaoran in the hospital, he was on his last nerve.

"Uhh…Kimiko?" Koutarou asked as he walked cautiously up to her. Behind him Tomomaru walked with equal fear.

"Yes?" She asked sweetly turning to them.

Eriol noticed Tomomaru whisper something to Koutarou who nodded.

"Can we borrow, Clow-san?" He continued and Kimiko sighed. She turned to the rest of the girl's her blue hair, trailing behind her.

"I dunno. Girls what do you think?" She asked and the one with sliver hair, (and an uncanny likeness to Tomoyo, Eriol noted) stepped forward.

"Hmm…well they summoned him, so it must be important, right guys?" She asked and the two Gods nodded quickly. "Then I say, they can un-gag him, and tell him the important stuff and then he relays it to whoever he needs to, then we get him back." She continued.

"Good idea, Renoi." Another said; she had short bubblegum pink hair.

"Al-alright." Tomomaru said and Koutarou picked up the chair Eriol was tied to.

"Any funny stuff and we'll know, Clow." Renoi continued and Eriol mentally sighed.

No telling what they'll do to me then.

Tomomaru and Koutarou carried Eriol over to Tomomaru's private area of the small universe they were in, within the well.

"Sorry about that." Tomomaru apologized.

"…" Eriol was still gagged so her merely glared at the God.
"Okay, please don't yell at us…" Koutarou said pausing, and then he nodded to the girls. "We can't control them either." Eriol mentally sighed. Tomomaru removed the gag and Eriol took a deep breath. "So we called you here, because he exist here in the God world and out there on earth." He continued.

"So…the little wolf fell in the well, yes?" Tomomaru asked and Eriol nodded.

"And now his sisters are here and he is in the hospital. I knew that." Eriol said slightly pissed off.

"Yes well, did you know that it was because of Kimiko that we're in this situation?" He asked, Eriol blinked.

"No…but that explains something. And what situation are we in, Tomomaru?" Eriol asked.

As Clow Reed, he had met the two twins of the wishing well before.

"You see, the little wolf wasn't originally supposed to fall in the well, and when Kimiko did that she kinda changed time and…" Tomomaru continued and he gestured vaguely.

"But you two don't have enough power to do that!" Eriol said and Tomomaru sighed as he ran a hand through his bright red hair.

"We're not supposed to, but we are like humans, out magic s fueled by our emotions. He really pissed Kimiko off."

"Oh…"

**

"Kimiko, can't you get her to read it?" Renoi asked and the other Goddesses nodded in encouragement.

"No, I'm spent you guys. You know how much energy it takes to do this?" She asked waving to the lake. On the surface it showed Yelan with the diary resting in her lap.

**

Should I…? She thought. She looked at the cover of the book. Well only a little bit, I mean I haven't seen him for five years… She thought as she opened the covered and flipped to about the middle.

November 24

Today…was a good day.

Yelan blinked. Well that was unexpected. She thought she looked down on the page to see lots of scribbles and what looked like Syaoran crossing things out. She continued reading.

Well, for the most part.  Fist at school Sakura invited me to a teddy bear show. Then I ran off from school and ran into him. Yue's other half; he took me shopping and asked me to pick out a cookie cutter, because he was making cookies for her, Sakura. Then he told me something…and finally I realized…the answer to all my questions…as to "why?" I l-l-love Sakura.

Yelan stared at the page, amber eyes wide. She blinked, once, then twice as she reread the sentence.

"Well…that's new…" She spoke to herself and she looked down at the book and smiled.

She blinked and looked at the green book again, curiosity getting the best of her. She read on.

November 25,

I thought today would be a good day. I was kind of right. Fist I went to the teddy bear show with Sakura. She was late, as usual. Anyway we were eating when he mentioned the bear kit I bought.

Yelan glanced around the room and spotted the black bear on Syaoran's dresser.

"So he…made that. That's really good." Yelan said as she peered at the bear and smiled as she continued reading.

Then Sakura asked me if I had given it to anyone. I did the only think I could think of at the time, I ran. I reached the elevator and she caught up with me.

We went into the elevator, when it started to freak out and the doors slammed shut. We were stuck. I was stuck, with Sakura, in a dark, cold, small elevator. With no way out. Then, Sakura started to cry so I used an ofuda. That seemed to cheer her up, then she near forced me to sit on her handkerchief with her. And I thought the elevator was small. She offered me her cookie, the last of the one's he had given to her. She told me how that stuffed animal had eaten them all.

Yelan paused. Stuffed animal?  She wondered to herself, then shrugged. I'll have to ask Xiao Lang later.

I couldn't accept it, so she gave me half. This, my friends is where it got interesting. The lights flashed and we started to move. Sakura stood and the elevator tilted and Sakura was sent down the elevator shaft. Six stories, down. (An Did you know that Sakura and Syaoran really are six stories up, I think I've seen episode. 57 too many times. Oh yeah! Did you also know that Sakura handed him the head of the teddy bear cookie…what else? Erm…it takes Syaoran 20 seconds to call "SAKURA" from the point where she falls? sweatdrops I timed it)

And as if it didn't get worse…well I thought. I did the only thing at the time, that accrued to me. I yelled to her. But not just anything…I said "Sakura"

Yelan smiled. So that's how it was.

Then she called me and asked as if she could call me "Syaoran-kun." So that was that.

Yelan closed the book and smiled. She stood and tucked to book into her robes. She stood as she walked down the stairs and continued to the hospital.

**

Eriol had never been so humiliated in his life. My God, this can't get any worse can it? He thought.

"ERIOL?!"

Ahh, the irony. He thought as he spotted Tomoyo staring at him, eyes wide.
"Now, Tomoyo dear, I would appreciate it if my identity was kept a secret." Eriol said as Tomoyo dragged him off in a very Chiharu like fashion.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked and Eriol blinked. He didn't think Tomoyo swore.

"I can explain." He said and Tomoyo eyed.
"You'd better." She said and she sighed as she took out her phone.
"What are you doing?" He asked and she sighed.
"Did whoever do this to you, steal you brain too, Eriol-kun?" She asked and she sighed. "I'm calling to get some decent clothes for you." She said and she sighed. Then watched him her cheeks a light pink. "Though, you do look kind of cute in that." She said and Eriol sighed.

"I can't change. It's a…threat." He explained and Tomoyo nodded. She knew all about clothing threats.

"Yes, by whom?"

"A goddess by the name of Kimiko." Eriol explained and Tomoyo nodded then looked up at Eriol, violet eyes wide.
"What?!"

"She's a fortune goddess who lives in the well. She wasn't too happy that my descendant didn't make a wish, and also that he called the well stupid." Eriol explained as he and Tomoyo walked down the streets.

"So…I'm guessing she made Li-kun fall in, then?" Tomoyo asked and he nodded.

"HOLY SHI-" Meiling started, then clamped her hands over her mouth, when she spotted the duo.

"Long story." Eriol said and Meiling nodded, and then sighed her eyes downcast. She turned to Tomoyo.
"They got in." She said and Tomoyo sighed.

"This can't be good." Tomoyo said as she rubbed her forehead. "What a day, what a day…"

"Syaoran-kun, you're pretty good at that basketball." Sakura said as she handed Syaoran his lunch and he smiled.
"Thanks…Sakura." He told her as he took a bite of her homemade lunch. She blushed and nodded. "This is great!" She blushed a deeper shade.

"Sure thing."

"XIAO LANG!"

"Little brother!"
"Are you okay?!" All four Li sisters burst through the door and huddled around him again. After the mass confusion Sakura once again found herself at the door.

Again…? Sakura wondered. She spotted her lunch, once again tossed aside by one of Syaoran's sisters.

Well, my time is up…and its not like…he loves me or anything. Sakura thought as she left the room and ran. She ran out of the room and down the halls. Half blinded by tears.

[Thump] Sakura ran into something pink and she looked up and spotted Eriol. Sakura blinked, as she stopped crying shock taking over her.

"Eriol-kun?!" She asked her eyes wide as she stared.

"Shuu…" He hushed her. He sighed eyes downcast. "The last thing I need is someone to figure out who I am." He told her. She nodded as she sniffed and wiped a tear from her eye.

"Sakura-chan, what's wrong?" Tomoyo asked.

"No, it's nothing. I don't know why I'm crying." Sakura said as she wiped a tear from her eye.

"I have a feeling that it has something to do with my descendant." Eriol quipped from behind Tomoyo and she nodded. Sakura sighed.

**

Li Syaoran was upset. Well, that was an understatement. He was pissed. His sisters were the most annoying creatures on the planet earth. He could cut them a little slack for having to uphold the title, but this was the last straw. Syaoran closed his eyes and took a deep calming breath. He clenched his fists.

This wasn't the first, or second for that matter, time Syaoran acted without thinking. At least this time it didn't end up with him blushing like and idiot Syaoran leapt up from the bed and near ran down the halls, ignoring the stares he was getting. The four Li sisters blinked all at once.

"Is he…" Fuutie trailed off.

"Walking?" Fanran completed and the others nodded. Sheifa smirked then looked over at her sisters.

"Ne…do you think he went to go see Sakura-chan?" She asked the others looked at each other then turned back to her.

"Of course!" They chorused as they headed down the hall in a blur of auburn hair.

**

Tomoyo watched Sakura her violet eyes worried. The door swung open and she looked up her hand resting on Sakura's shoulder. Immediately her grip tightened as her jaw dropped.
"S-sa-sakura-chan?" She asked and Sakura looked up at her, emerald eyes still a little damp from the tears she had shed.

"Hm?"

"Sakura?" Syaoran asked, still completely unaware of the fact that he had completed the near impossible.

"Syaoran-kun?" Sakura spun around and as soon as she spotted Syaoran her eyes widened as she did a double take. "Wha-what?" She asked and she rushed over to him.

"Are you alright?" He asked her softly and she smiled at him, while crying.

"Yes," she whipped the tears from her eyes. "I'm fine. How are you feeling?" She asked him and he looked at her oddly. His eyes wandered to the young Daidouji who was smiling at him. He blushed, he didn't like what that smile was implying. He then glanced over at Eriol, and his amber eyes faltered as they widened. He stumbled back and within three seconds flat…was out like a light.

"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura rushed forward, worried. Mai looked up from the receptionist desk, and her eyebrows shot up as she rushed off to get a wheelchair.

               Li Yelan opened the door and let it slam shut. Her bright ocher eyes scanned the room and she froze. Her jaw dropped and she barely formed the words.

"Wha-what the hell?!"

               **

AN Okay so I seriously doubt Yelan would say that, but its funny.  And if your wondered why Syaoran fainted, well, the shock of seeing Eriol like that. And if your wondering how he forgot…he was thinking so much about Sakura that he just lost it, and well he's getting better.

Three more chapters of this thing at the most, might only be one. I'm not sure, probably two though.

REVIEW!!!!!!!!! Feedback is good. Oh yeah now I have lots of new stories…you might want to check those out while you wait, the endings have always been the hardest for me to write.
