Chapter Six: Telling Sakura

The day after Eriol's return, everything went crazy. Almost immediately, the word was out that 'the new guy' was a total hottie and celebrity. This, of course, intrigued everyone and they wanted to meet Eriol, especially now since it was lunch and no teachers could keep them quiet. Which was quite unfortunate for him, all he had wanted was time alone with Tomoyo to talk to her. This was one of the times that he realized that he was famous and hating it.

Eriol rushed through the halls with Tomoyo by his side, trying to get away from the pesky girls that only wanted to flirt with him. Unnoticed by anyone, there was a hidden glint of jealousy in Tomoyo's eyes, and she was very glad Eriol couldn't care less for the flirty sluts. Finally, he managed to get away from the crowd as he got out the school doors. He and Tomoyo both let out a sigh, causing Tomoyo to giggle.

"You seem pretty popular here," Tomoyo chuckled

"I know, but I happen to know for a fact that you are too!" Eriol replied

"So, how have you been over the last few years?" Tomoyo asked curiously trying to start a conversation, her new camera in her hand.

"Err, pretty lonely. I never got to meet up with my old friends, instead I met a thousand fans that only wanted my autograph." Eriol replied with a hint of sadness, but tried to humor up the last bit, continuing to walk toward the cafeteria.

"Aww! Do you know how KAWAII you look when you're you've got a sad expression on your face!?" Tomoyo exclaimed, zooming in on his face with the camera she got from him, making him blush.

Luckily, he was saved from Tomoyo when their group spotted them and called them over.

"HEY!!! Over here!" Jon called

"There you are!" Sakura exclaimed from behind Tomoyo and Eriol trying to catch up to them. Their last block had been physical engineering for Tomoyo and Eriol, while Sakura had Social science.

"How was your first day?" Ming, who was already seated at their table next to Sally, asked cheerfully to Eriol.

"It was okay, I'm glad that Tomoyo could show me around and make things fun." Eriol replied taking a seat on the table followed by Sakura and Tomoyo.

Soon enough they got chatting, well, mainly the girls, but the boys made contributions too. They were talking about the events that happened throughout the day, while eating their lunches and debating over events that they had talked about.

~*~*~*~*~Mei Lin and Syaoran~*~*~*~*~

"OH MY GAWD!!!" Meiling shrieked, so loudly that the whole mansion heard. Syaoran was next door and rushed through to see if everything was okay.

"Meiling, is everything okay? What happened?" Syaoran asked, concern evident in his voice.

Meiling laughed sheepishly, shocked at how concerned her cousin was, before replying "Umm, err. Nothing, it's just that I realized I need to go on a shopping spree before I go to Japan" she said lamely, continuing to pack, but seeing the look on Syaoran's face she added, "And, we totally haven't told Sakura, Tomoyo or anybody that we're coming back." She mentally kicked herself for screaming so loud.

"Then what the hell were you doing?" Syaoran scolded his cousin, "Do you know Mother has company down stairs?"

"Sorry mother" Meiling responded sarcastically

"I'm not kidding Meiling," Syaoran stated as he retreated to exit the room but when he was about half way out Meiling called him back.

"Xiao-Lang!" she called

"What now?" Syaoran asked insipidly

"Aren't you going to even make and effort to tell Sakura? Or just even get Eriol to?" Meiling demanded forcefully.

"I don't know, maybe later" Syaoran replied when he slammed Meiling's door shut.

'She's gonna wanna know!' Meiling screamed silently to herself, 'She has every right to know that the guy that loves her most is coming back, but I want Syaoran to tell her himself!'

With her last thoughts, Meiling continued to pack her clothes into her suitcases. She had already filled up two, but that wasn't stopping her from packing more.

~*~*~*~*~Xie Ing~*~*~*~*~

There was darkness surrounding the whole area. Nothing could be seen, and the littlest sound would of echoed so much it would have been heard as clear as a siren.

"Why is it that you want me to do this again?" Xie Ing whined somewhere in the shadows, as her whimpering voice echoed throughout the whole 'place.'

"BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!" A devilish and mean male voice yelled making Xie Ing cringe the voice had spread throughout everything and so loudly it could be mistaken for awakening the dead.

"I'm sorry" she whispered sincerely bowing her head.

"Don't you understand that I've chosen YOU? Now you have to live up to my expectations!" The voice bellowed again.

Xie Ing fell on to her knees "Please, I know I have to do this but please leave my friends out of this. Please!" she begged almost in a whisper.

The murky figure began a chuckle at the girl's request, and then it soon became a maniacal evil laugh. It too echoed throughout the space.

"Now why would I do that when I could really use their talents to my advantage? Besides they seem to like to follow you around, you're like a leader figure to them. Just tell them what I tell you to tell them what to do and all will be fine!" The voice snapped, causing Xie Ing to shudder.

"As you wish," Xie Ing bowed respectfully

~*~*~*~*~Sakura~*~*~*~*~

Sakura walked home with Ming today. Usually she'd go with Tomoyo, but she was busy trying to catch up with Eriol. She would of gone along too, but decided that Tomoyo should have some time alone with Eriol, suspecting she had a crush on him.

"SO why'd you choose to not go with Tomoyo and Eriol?" Ming asked inquiringly.

"Umm, because I can tell Tomoyo has a thing for him and so I decided that they could catch up with him!" Sakura replied.

"Just like you Sakkie, so considerate of others!" Ming mocked sarcastically with fake enthusiasm.

"Funny" Sakura mumbled sarcastically.

"What's up?" Ming asked concerned.

"The sky!" Sakura stated with A LOT of fake excitement.

"Ha ha, you know what I mean Sakkie so spill!" Ming ordered.

"It's just that I haven't heard from Syaoran in a while. I know last time it took two months, but before that we called each other at least once a week, and even before that we called every second day!!!" Sakura explained.

"It's okay Sakkie, I'm sure he's got a lot in his hands and he'll call whenever he can," Ming comforted.

"Yeah, I know. I'm s'posed to call him later today. It is my turn after all," Sakura smiled.

"COOL!" Ming exclaimed, "Can I be there to hear the convo?"

"Err, come again?" Sakura asked, totally lost.

"I just wanna be there to hear your convo, 'cause Syaoran Li has the hottest voice!" Ming screeched, so loudly that Sakura put her hands over her ears.

"Umm. I'm not sure, maybe next time okay? I don't want you to see me at my lowest," Sakura replied softly.

"What do you mean see you at your lowest?" Ming inquired inquisitively.

"I'll be begging him to visit, it's only gonna me and Rika, but Rika's going out with Jon, so I'll be alone..." Sakura clarified.

"Hey, have you forgotten me?" Ming asked.

"No, I haven't! You're going out with Marcus, which would mean I can't ask anyone to go to the movies or shopping with me during the weekend coz you'll be with your boyfriends."

"Oh, so your gonna beg Syaoran Li of the Li Clan to come to Japan coz you're feeling a wittle wonesome?" Ming teased.

"Yeah, that's basically it!" Sakura harmonized.

That was when Sakura saw her house. She said goodbye and gave Ming a hug before running inside, leaving Ming to go home, just a couple of streets away.

~*~*~*~*~Syaoran & Meiling~*~*~*~*~

Meiling was having lunch with Syaoran in their large dining and started to 'talk.'

"We haven't even told anyone we're going to Japan, in like TWO DAYS!!!" Meiling screamed.

"Is that what you're all worked up about?" Syaoran asked, boredom in his voice.

"Aren't you going to tell her?" Meiling asked, even louder than before

"I want to Meiling, okay? It's just that I don't know what to tell her. 'Hey Saku, I'm comin' the day after tomorrow, surprise'? Why can't you tell her?" Syaoran asked stubbornly.

"Because she'll like it more if she heard it from you! I want to tell her, but I know she'll be a thousand times happier if you were the one who broke the news!!!" Meiling yelled, bringing poor Syaoran's eardrums close to bursting point.

Syaoran glared at her for virtually making him deaf, but she just let it go and stuffed more food in her mouth. Syaoran was really getting pissed now, but stuffed some of his veggies in his mouth and continued to eat while looking angrily at Meiling. Meiling struggled to do everything she could to shrug off Syaoran's most potent glare, but was struggling badly, though she tried her best not to show it... For a while.

"WILL YOU STOP GLARING AT ME? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FREAKY IT IS!?" Meiling bellowed.

"No, I don't know how freaky it is but hey, I OWE YOU ONE FOR DEAFENING ME!" Syaoran shot back.

"I wouldn't of yelled at YOU IF YOU GOT A FUCKING CLUE!!" Meiling retorted angrily.

"AND WHAT 'fucking clue' DID YOU WANT ME TO GET, MEILING!?" Syaoran yelled, standing up.

"TO FRIKKEN CALL SAKURA AND TELL HER!!!" Meiling shouted also getting to her feet and slamming her hands on the table

"If you don't mind my cutting in, I beg you two to stop this immediately" Wei cut in.

"Yes Wei," Meiling sighed, "Suddenly I'm not so hungry. And Wei? Please tell Auntie Yelan I won't be attending tonight's feast." At that she began walking off towards the door.

"Meiling, tonight's feast is in honour of US! You have to be there!" Syaoran called.

"You'll survive." Meiling answered dryly not even stopping to look at him while she answered him.

"I'LL CALL HER DAMN IT!!!" Syaoran yelled, knowing that his Mother and sisters would be disappointed if Meiling didn't show.

"OKAY!!!" Meiling cheered happily, turning to Syaoran, suddenly completely happy, and gave her cousin a big hug.

When Meiling finally let go, Syaoran didn't move an inch, causing her to tilt her head to the side and look at him oddly.

"Huh? Aren't you even gonna go and call her now?" Meiling asked confusedly

"Oh, okay, I'm going now." Syaoran replied shortly

Syaoran walked towards the room, and if on cue, it rang just before he picked it up, making him pick up the phone before a single ring was made.

"Huh? Hello? That was quick!" The voice chorused from the phone

"Ugh, Sakura? How've ya bin?" Syaoran asked

"Umm. Great, how are you and why'd you pick up so fast?" Sakura responded from the other side of the phone.

"I'm okay, and the reason I picked up so fast was that I just so happened to be about to call you!" Syaoran laughed

Sakura giggled, and questioned, "Seriously?"

"Believe it," Syaoran chuckled.

"Hey Syaoran the reason I called today is because I had something I wanted to ask you." She trailed off.

"Funny, the reason I was gonna call you was because I had something to tell you," Syaoran stated to break the minor silence.

"Okay then, let's hear it!" Sakura suggested.

"No you ask me first," Syaoran argued playfully.

"You go." Sakura asserted.

"No you go" Syaoran ordered confidently.

"Come on, just go!" Sakura persuaded.

"After you!" Syaoran insisted.

"Go!" Sakura said.

"You go!" Syaoran answered.

There was silence for a few seconds as they both sighed. They couldn't take the silence any more, so they both decided, at the same time, that they might as well let it out.

"I'm coming back to Japan!"

"I want you to come back!" The both said quickly, in unison.

Of course they were both shocked at what the other said and just wanted to make sure they weren't hearing things when they both let out a:

"Really?"

"Really?" They asked at the same time.

At this Sakura giggled while Syaoran chuckled.

"Aww, so you want me to come back? I'm flattered!" Syaoran teased

"OH MY GOSH!!! YOUR COMING BACK I CAN'T WAIT!!! WHEN?" Sakura exclaimed so loudly that Syaoran had to hold the phone away from his ear.

"Err. In two days" Syaoran replied.

"And when were you planning to tell me?" Sakura demanded

"Just then!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Oh, okay!" Sakura replied. "Hey I gotta go, but call me soon okay! Oh, and do you want me to pick you up on Saturday?"

"I'll call soon, though I may not have to. You don't have to pick up me and Mei Lin if you don't want to."

"Are you kidding, of course I want to pick you up, and Mei Lin's coming? This is so cool!" Sakura cheered.

"Yea, I guess it is, I can't wait to see you again Sakura." Syaoran said.

Sakura blushed and dropped to the floor silently clutching onto the phone. 'Thank God Syaoran can't see me' Sakura thought, replying "I can't wait to see you too, but I really gotta go, I gotta make dinner tonight!!!" Sakura explained

"Okay Sakura, Ja."

"Ja, miss ya, see ya!"

"Ja"

*click*

And with that they hung up.

~*~*~*~*~Sakura~*~*~*~*~

Sakura was still sitting in the floor, because of how she blushed before. She grabbed on to the small table near her and slowly pulled herself up, trying to process everything that just happened. Syaoran was coming back!!! She couldn't wait! At that instant, she dashed into the kitchen, extremely happily and began to hum as she made dinner. This action not only baffled Kero but also Fujitaka. Too bad Touya had moved out, he wouldn't be able to see Sakura this happy.

"What is it, honey?" Fujitaka asked his daughter.

"I'm just really excited!!!" Sakura answered enthustiastically.

"About what?" Kero asked suspiciously.

"Oh Kero, I'm so happy! Syaoran's coming back!!!" Sakura replied, not losing any enthusiasm and still finishing off dinner.

Kero's expression changed immediately, he was nearly speechless. "T-th-th- the b-brat's coming b-back?"

"Isn't it wonderful?" Sakura asked excitedly, whilst twirling around, placing cutlery on the table.

"WHAT!?" Kero screeched so loudly that his voice echoed throughout the whole room. Sakura winced while Fujitaka smiled at his daughter warmly. He was glad to see Sakura this happy after so long.
