Hey! I just finished writting Chapter 10 and finally the party will start!
YAY!!!
Thanks for the reviews: Final Fantasy Princess, Windy*Wings, Early-Dawn, Dj King, Cherry-Kawaii-Wolf, Arwen Elessar, Litun, B, Cowgirl-Em, Fabi-Chan!!!
Arwen Elessar asked me if Yukito's and Touya's memory were erased. No, the Erase card only erased the people's memory Syaoran wanted. In other words, just the not-magical ones. I know, both in the anime and in the manga, Touya loses all his magical power... But in my fanfic, he still has a bit... Sorry for not telling this sooner... I forgot! =P
Thank everyone for supporting me... I'm really happy to have such good and friendly reviewers!

Coming Back To You
Chapter 10 - Surprises at the Christmas Party!
"Uhh... where am I?" Sakura slowly opened her eyes.
"In your bed."
"Hoe?" She looked to her side and saw Kero and Syaoran.
"Are you okay?" Kero asked.
"Yeah... What happened?"
"Well, basically, the protective fence loosened and you fell from the tower." Syaoran said in a serious tone.
"And what happened after?"
"Well... I kinda jumped after you and used your card to fly back. Then, I brought you here." He said scratching the back of his head. Sakura just looked at him with a unbelieving face.
"Syaoran-kun, thanks a lot!" She gave him a huge hug.
"Gack! S-Sakura, I can't breath!"
Sakura giggled. "Sorry."
"Well, now that you're okay, I'm going. I need to get ready to the party. See ya."
"Bye Syaoran-kun! Thanks again!" She waved *My savior...*
"No prob." He smiled and closed the door.
*******
Walking to the door, Syaoran got the worst visions of all. Touya had just arrived from work and didn't look very happy. Syaoran just tried to walk past him without starting a fight.
"How is she?" Touya asked in a very cool tone, still not changing his serious expression.
"Fine. She just fainted but now she is fully awakened." He answered in the same serious tone.
"Good."
With that, Touya walked past him and Syaoran continued on his way to the door. Opening it, he stepped outside but halted when he heard Sakura's older brother voice. Turning around, Touya had his back to Syaoran.
"I almost forgot... thank you."
Syaoran smiled, even if Touya couldn't see, "You're welcome.", and left. Maybe he wasn't a bad guy after all...
*******
15 minutes passed after Syaoran left. Sakura have already been checked by his brother and was now looking through the window.
"What a day... I still have stay here bored until it's time to go to Tomoyo's house."
"And what time would that be?" Kero asked.
"Well, about 6:30."
"I don't want to worry things but...", he handed Sakura the clock, "...it's 6:27 now."
"WHAT?!" She grabbed Kero by his neck.
"It's not my fault, I swear, I swear!!!" He sweatdropped.
"I need to run!"
"Good luck." Kero joked and Sakura hit his head and quickly raced downstairs.
*******
DING DONG
The door opened and a smiling Tomoyo appeared.
"Hi Sakura-chan! You're late!" Sakura sweatdropped, "Let's get you dressed! Come!", and with that Tomoyo dragged Sakura to her room.
*******
7 at night...
"Hi Takashi-kun, Chiharu-chan! Please come in!" Tomoyo greeted her two arriving friends.
"Hello Tomoyo-chan! Are we late?" Chiharu asked.
"No, no... There is still missing Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun. I'll guide you all to the living-room."
Tomoyo guided Takashi, Chiharu and their parents to the living-room where the others were. Soon, two groups formed in the room, Sakura's friends and the adults. All the group was dressed formally. Takashi with a dark-blue tuxedo with a light-blue shirt and the girls, long dresses. Chihary had a red one while Naoko and Rika, respectively, had a blue and a white one. They were all talking and having fun when the doorbell rang again. Opening it, Tomoyo found Syaoran. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt, specially designed for him.
"Hi Syaoran-kun! You're very elegant!" Tomoyo greeted him.
"Thanks Tomoyo-chan. You look good too!" He smiled.
"Come. The others are in the living-room. And Syaoran-kun...", she faced him smiling, "Don't let your jaw fall on the ground when you see Sakura- chan, okay?"
"What?" He asked confused.
"You'll see... Ohohoho..." Syaoran sweatdropped.
In the living-room, Syaoran started walking to the 'adults group' to say a polite 'good-night', as the Li Clan had thought him, but the sight of Touya glaring at him made him change his idea and go to his friends.
"Hey Syaoran-kun! You're very nice!" Takashi greeted him.
"This tuxedo fits you perfectly!" Rika smiled.
"Of course, I was the one who did it!" Tomoyo said proud of herself.
"Thanks guys..." Syaoran scratched the back of his head.
*******
Twenty minutes and Sakura still didn't show up...
"Sakura-chan is surely taking too long." Rika changed the subject.
"I'll go get her. I just hope she didn't freak out." Tomoyo headed upstairs.
"Well, that's Sakura-chan for you." Rika sighed.
"She'll never change..." Naoko smiled.
"You know... OUCH!" Chiharu hit Takashi, "Hey! What did I do?!"
"Everytime you say 'You know...' it's because you're going to lie!" Chiharu frowned and her friends laughed.
"Ahem..." The group of friends faced Tomoyo, who was at the base of the stairs, "Sorry. I got Sakura almost trying to escape from the window but now she is coming."
Then, footsteps could be heard. Soon, Sakura appeared and Syaoran let his jaw drop (he just couldn't resist ^ ^ ). Sakura was wearing a beautiful pink dress and a small star pingent on her neck (I just don't know how to describe it! It's the same as the one in the 2ยบ movie but without the wings).
"Hoe... they are all looking at me." Sakura blushed in embarrassment.
"It's because you're really beautiful!" Tomoyo whispered.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura reddened.
After greeting her father and, without much option, kicking Touya for a 'stupid' comment like 'Wow, I can't believe Tomoyo made you look less like a monster!', she ran to her friends.
"Hello!" Sakura smiled to her friends.
"You're really beautiful!" The girls circled her. Tomoyo just smiled proudly.
"Thanks..." Then she faced Syaoran, "Hi Sya..." and blushed seeing him. " Y- you're really elegant Syaoran-kun!"
"T-thanks Sakura. You wonderful... I mean, beautiful!" He blushed too.
"Hoe... thanks..." Her blush got darker.
Both stood looking at each other until Sakura saw someone entering the room. A very special person.
"Okaasan!" She smiled.
Fujitaka and Touya, hearing Sakura Sakura saying 'Okaasan' looked at each other confused but when they looked back, they went dot-eyes. It must be a illusion... No, it seemed too real. They ran to see what was going on.
"Nadeshiko-san?"
"Hello my sweet Fujitaka-kun. Did you miss me?"
He didn't answer, just pushed her in a deep kiss. A kiss he had been holding for more than 8 years.
"I'll consider this as a 'yes'." She giggled.
"How..." Touya asked still without understanding.
"I'll explain at home but for now, let's enjoy the party!", she smiled and turned to Sakura, "Remember what I said to you Sakura."
"Sure!"
"You knew?" Touya asked and recieved a nod from her sister, "Monster.", plus a kick.
Sakura went back to her friends sweatdropping. Tomoyo, Syaoran, her father and Touya would understand, but how to explain to her friends and a now extremelly happy and jumpy Sonomi as they did know about her mother's death. Oh well, her mother surely had a plan for this... Looking behind, she saw her mother sweatdropping and scratching her head in front of a questioning Sonomi. Looks like she didn't. Well, that's the good old Nadeshiko...
*Well, I hope they don't ask anything...*
"Sakura-chan, didn't your mother die when you were three?" Chiharu asked.
*Faaaaaat chance.* Sakura sweetdropped, "I'll... tell you guys later."
"But..." Chiharu continued but was interrupted by Syaoran, who knew it was something beyond his friends knowledge.
"Why don't we exchange the presents now? In a few minutes it'll be 12:00 and we need to be here."
"You're right Syaoran-kun, let's go now." Tomoyo understood.
With the ending of Sakura's mother topic, they went upstairs, heading to Tomoyo's bedroom. In the hallway, a whisper could be heard.
"Need... cake... hurry..."
"Tomoyo-chan, I think I heard a voice coming from your purse." Naoko stated.
"No, no... It must have been your imagination..." Tomoyo smiled and gave Sakura and Syaoran THE look, which they immediately understood, "Why don't you keep going to my bedroom? I need to talk with Sakura-chan and Syaoran- kun."
"Okay, but be quick." With that, Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran went to Sonomi's bedroom while the others went to Tomoyo's bedroom.
*******
"Kero-chan, get out now! I know you're there!"
The small orange guardian flew out of Tomoyo's purse with a serious look and sat on the bed.
"What do you think you were doing?! Someone could have seen you!"
"That's now fair! While I stay on that lonely and cold house, you come here to celebrate Christmas and eat!"
Sakura was taken back by this. She never thought of how would be to stay alone on Christmas night. She felt pity for Kero.
"All right, I'm sorry. I should have brought you with me and not have let you at home. You can stay here with lots of food, right Tomoyo-chan?"
Tomoyo just nodded smiling.
"BUT!" Sakura took kero by the collar of his specially made tuxedo by Tomoyo, "Stay here!"
"All right, all right!"
And with that, Kero was left at Sonomi's bedroom circled with lots, LOTS of food for the entire night. He was really happy claiming he would make a party for himself. 'Suppi', pet name for Spinel Sul (which by the way he hates), was the only one missing to complete his party, eve if Kero would always say they were rivals...
"Greedy..." Syaoran whispered to no one as he left the bedroom.
Joining her friends in Tomoyo's bedroom, they decided to exchange the presents. Naoko would be the first.
"Well, the one I took is very strange person sometimes." she giggled, "But she is very smart and I always see some sparks flying from her eyes when she's able to design and tape her friends and..."
"Tomoyo-chan." they said together obviously.
"Huh? How did you know?" they all, except Naoko, fell anime style.
Naoko gave her a box with 20 tapes for extra high-quality recording.
"Oh my God! Thank you a lot! I will use it very soon!" then, she glared Sakura, "Be prepared! Ohohohoho..."
Sakura sweatdropped, "Naoko-chan, I thought you were on my side!"
"Sorry! I'm neutral!" She said innocently.
"Okay, now it's my turn." Tomoyo stood up, "Well, the person is very sweet and good at hand-made things. Guess who?"
"Rika-chan! Rika-chan!" Sakura said quickly and loud.
"You got that right!" Tomoyo smiled.
Syaoran smiled. Sakura really seemed happy. These are the moments where you never want to pass. He wonder if he would be able to tell her those vital three words. He was surprised seeing how three words could change someone's life. For better... or worse.
Then, he felt someone nudging his, arm breaking his thoughts.
"Syaoran-kun, why are you so deep in thought today? Join us! Look what Rika- chan got!" Sakura smiled at him.
Rika got a very beautiful street clothes in addition to a purse from Tomoyo. She looked very happy.
"Thanks a lot Tomoyo-chan! They are really beautiful!", she thanked her friend, "Well, the person I got is very, very intelligent and always freak out Sakura-chan by her stories."
"Naoko-chan..." Sakura said a bit embarassed. Why did they always had to include her on their descriptions?
"Right! Here you go Naoko-chan!"
Naoko opened the box and squealed in happiness. She received three supernatural books gold edition, extremely rare.
"Thanks you! These books are my favourite ones!", then, she glared Sakura, "Be prepared Sakura! Ohohohoho..." Sakura sweatdropped again. Man, her 'friends' are really starting to freak her out.
Now that Rika, Naoko and Tomoyo said their 'secret friends' it was the fun time. Tomoyo pointed at Chiharu, who seemed a bit suspicious about that... little coincidence of her three 'friends'.
"Well... I took a boy. He makes me do things I don't really enjoy, like kicking him. But I want him to know that even with all those fights, I'm really grateful that we met and we'll always be friends!"
"I guess it's Takashi-kun." Sakura said sacarstically.
"Here you go Takashi-kun."
Takashi opened the present and found a picture in a frame. In the picture was him and Chiharu at last year's Nadeshiko festival. They seemed really happy in this picture.
"Wow, thanks! I'll take very good care of it!", he stood up, "Now it's my turn! The one who I took is a very 'lovely' girl who always beat me... But the truth is that I always do this to get her attention."
"Ops... I smell love in the air..." Naoko said out loud.
Chiharu and Takashi blushed deep. He took a step near her a gave the present. Opening it, she found two dolls. One looked like him and the another looked like Chiharu.
"I made them myself. I hope you like it!" He scratched the back of his head.
"You are not lying?" Chiharu glared.
"NO!"
"I loved them. Thank you!" She hugged him and only released when she noticed some kind of 'glance' around the room, "Is it really true that you do that to get my attention?"
"Well... maybe!" he looked away and Chiharu smiled softly.
*That's my Takashi-kun.*
"I guess that only leaves you two. Want to do any comments about each other?" Tomoyo said smiling to Syaoran and Sakura.
Syaoran put the present on his lap and started talking.
"Well, I guess I could say she changed my life a lot. When I first arrived here, my only thought were about myself. Meeting her, my only thoughts were that she was someone weak and pathetic. After sometime I started acting different around her and eventually, we became friends. Now, as best friends, I can see that she was the only one that was able to get my real feelings out of my heart. She was the first person to make me smile since I arrived here and she has my eternal gratitude for this. "
"I know! I know who!" Naoko said happily, while the others sweatdropped, "What?"
Syaoran gave Sakura her present.
"... thanks Syaoran-kun. For the present and for the speech." Sakura was blushing amazed. She never thought Syaoran would be able to say somehting so deep like that.
She gasped when she opened the box. Inside, there was................................................an alarm clock!
#~~~~~~~~~~~#
To Be Continued...
Haha! I just really needed to write that! Nice present, isn't it? Hope Sakura doesn't hit him... too hard! Hahahaha...
Well, I guess I'll see you next Chapter, unless Syaoran can't come for... physical conditions...!
