Coming Home


Year 2007

"How the could she have possibly known 4 years ago how I would propose to you?" Eriol showed the letter Sakura wrote to Tomoyo and was now pacing the room. He was agitated and amazed. How could she know? Was she some kind of a clairvoyant?

Tomoyo was frowning something furious at the letter. "Who's he? What did she mean 'don't blame him for your separation because before my intrusion, things were supposed to happen that way'?"

"I don't know who 'he' is, and in hope that I won't ever find out," Eriol said fervently. He stopped briefly to kiss Tomoyo on the cheek before he resumed his pacing.

"Stop that, Eriol, you're wearing a hole in the carpet." She put down the letter. "Look, Sakura's coming back, we can ask her about how she knows about the way you would propose to me when she does. For now, let's worry about how Syaoran would react to this piece of news."

Eriol groaned as he dropped into the seat beside Tomoyo. "We're going to be facing World War Three when he meets her face to face."

"Precisely. And I intend to make him face Sakura, I intend to make him and her talk things out."

Eriol stared at Tomoyo as if she were insane. "Do you know what you're suggesting? They're more liable to kill each other! That won't work at all, don't do it, Tomoyo."

Tomoyo snuggled closer to Eriol, "I have to, he still loves her, I know it, you know it, and he just has to calm down to realize it. When he sees her, he's not likely to calm down, we have to create a situation where they are stuck with each other so often that they have to interact. Hopefully, Sakura can push him far enough so that he'll break down and scream at her. After venting his spleen, they can then make up and live happily ever after. I can also have my cousin and best friend back."

Eriol hedged. "That sounds wonderful, but it won't work."

Tomoyo glared up at the pig-headed man she loved with all her heart, "And why is that so?"

"Because," he explained patiently, as if speaking to a mentally challenged child, "he would take one look at her and walk out. He wouldn't stay in the same room as her, so how the heck are they supposed to converse? And if you try to force him to do what he doesn't want to do, he'll frustrate the heck out of you, by being chillingly polite, politically correct," Eriol looked frustrated. "You don't want to mess with him."

"Don't I?" Tomoyo smiled sweetly up at Eriol.

Eriol groaned. He knew, just knew that she was up to something. He devoutly hoped that her plans didn't involve him. He liked his head just where it was; he had no doubt that Syaoran would have his head if he found out he was somehow involved in Tomoyo's schemes.

***

Just across the sea, a lone girl dressed in a simple white blouse and pink skirt were boarding the plane. She was going back, going back to face whatever was there for her.

This time, she was back for good.

Sakura wasn't running anymore.

Author's Note: I know this is a short chapter, but I NEED MORE REVIEWS! *pants* If you want to know what's going to happen next, I expect more comments. Besides, things are getting exciting! How do you think Syaoran would react to Sakura coming back? And Sakura isn't the meek girl who willingly gave up on Syaoran several years ago; she's changed. When she ran away 4 years ago, it's because she felt she was interfering with destiny and fate. She knew instinctively that the time wasn't right for her and Syaoran. She had messed things up enough and the only way to redeem herself was to go far away. Now, she was going to fight for the man she's always loved. She's given them enough time and now's the time to claim her prize! Let's see how Syaoran reacts! Remember more, more, more reviews! I love them all.
