Famous and Hating It

Chapter Nine: A New Evil or Just Very Old?

"Have you paid for your meal? Don't tell me that you thought that you can run and get a free meal. My, young kids these days just think they can get away with just about anything at-" The elderly waitress lectured

"Ma'am, my credit card is in the bill! Charge as much money as you want to it, we need to go!" Syaoran interrupted

"And where might you be off to in such a hurry?" The lady asked gruffly

"To make sure no one got hurt in that explosion that we just heard ma'm, please someone might be hurt." Sakura pleaded politely. At that the lady's expression changed.

"Dear God, I'm sorry children-" The lady apologized

"It's Okay Ma'am but if you don't mind we gotta go before we're too late!" Syaoran interrupted again grabbing Sakura hand and running towards where they heard the explosion.

~*~*~*~*~E,T&M~*~*~*~*~

"Where are they going?" Tomoyo asked worriedly

"To whatever caused that explosion, I can sense it, it's magical." Eriol replied seriously.

"Let's check it out!" Meiling declared.

"No, it'll be too suspicious and everyone else would follow, besides you two don't have any magic it's way too dangerous, so go to the table while I go check it out!" Eriol instructed.

"But then I won't be able to get all of this on camera!" Tomoyo whined

"Yeah, I might not have magic but I can kick butt, besides what would we tell the others about where you are going and where Sakura and Syaoran are going?" Meiling asked

"Don't argue, this is not some joke, this is serious! This magic is way too powerful to be underestimated! Tell the others that you overheard Sakura and Syaoran say they wanted to go outside to talk more privately add your 'comments' and tell them I'm looking for a toilet since there isn't one in here!" Eriol replied sternly before running out of the restaurant.

Tomoyo and Meiling glanced at each other. Neiher of them was used to Eriol serious side, he always and a perky attitude, even when he was getting Sakura to change the Clow cards into star cards. This was totally different though.

"Umm, let's do whatever he just said?" Meiling asked

"Yea. What he said." Tomoyo replied

Meiling and Tomoyo approached the table where their friends were. Luckily they had 5 extra seats on that table because they were hoping that Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo, Meiling and Eriol would join them.

"Some 'catching up' huh?" Jen commented bluntly

"Actually, yea, see Meiling, Eriol and I have just been doing what we used like always do-" Tomoyo began

"Spy on Sakura and Syaoran?" Jon suggested innocently

"No, not exactly." Meiling began

"Just tell us, where did the 'couple' go and where did Eriol go?" Sally asked boorishly

"Sakura and Syaoran went to have a 'private' talk outside in their favourite spot," Meiling blurted out crazily

".And Eriol went to find a toilet 'bause this restaurant doesn't have one." Tomoyo continued casually.

"Cool!" Crystal exclaimed hugging onto Jordan

~*~*~*~*~Sakura & Syaoran~*~*~*~*~

Syaoran was running with Sakura close behind him. It turns out that over the years Syaoran had gotten a bit faster than Sakura.

Soon enough they saw what caused the explosion, it was dark figure that was laughing madly with some sort of amulet clutched in his hands.

"You will finally pay for what you have put me through" The figure cackled and with that he disappeared.

".Okay. That was weird." Sakura commented as she kept staring at the sight that was before her.

"I agree. I wonder what he, I mean 'it' meant" Syaoran responded when Eriol arrived.

"Hmm, interesting he didn't hurt or destroy anything." Eriol noted

"So he just did that to get our attention," Syaoran summed up

"But how come no one seemed to hear it but people from the restaurant?" Sakura wondered remembering how everyone in the restaurant were shocked by the sound of the explosion but how nobody on the streets seemed to have noticed.

"He must of just emitted his energy to the restaurant, Eriol do you think this is some sorta new force?" Syaoran pointed out then asked Eriol

"NO, it is not a new evil if that is what you're asking," Eriol answered as Sakura and Syaoran sighed in relief but Eriol wasn't finished, "It's just a very old evil."

"WHAT!?" "WHAT!?" Sakura and Syaoran chorused at the same time.

"By the ones of your voices, I'm guessing that you weren't in the mood for this." Eriol mentioned.

"Well let's just get going back to the others, it's not like anything serious has happened.right?" Sakura suggested unsurely.

"Kay, good plan." Syaoran approved

They walked back to the restaurant together pondering over what just happened.

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

She was heaved into the darkness in which she had been so many times by that disgusting man that had allegedly disciplined her. She fell to the ground and landed at her master's feet.

"Have you learnt your lesson yet?" The dark figure asked

"Yes Master, I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you, I know now to hold my tongue when my opinion isn't required." Xie Ing stated

"Tell me, which technique was used this time?" The figure asked Glem

"Just a simple spell, nothing really master. Right Xie Ing?" Glem replied loyally

"Yes Glem, Master I am forever in your control" Xie Ing responded

"Good, you can start off by doing me and yourself a favour."

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

Sakura was now in her room and thinking of what could have happened today. She was going through her drawers and desks searching for something

"Sakura? What are you looking for?" Kero asked

"Found it!" Sakura exclaimed as she held out a little jewel

"Found what?" Kero asked as he sweatdropped, "I thought you were trying to figure out what that thing was."

"This is the jewel Eriol gave me ages ago, it can show you thing and answer questions!" Sakura exclaimed

"So what are you going to ask it?" Kero asked

"You'll see! Jewel of answers, Jewel of might I need to ask you something, answer me right What is this magical force?" Sakura chanted.

The jewel glowed and revealed the figure she had seen earlier. The image n the jewel blurred then spun around and it occurred to her, the mysterious evil was a very old evil coming back for something. The question was what?

"Gotta hand it to ya, not bad!" Kero said sounding impressed

"Thanks Kero, but now I have go meet Syaoran at the Penguin Park." Sakura said

Sakura then dashed out of the room before Kero could object.

~*~*~*~*~Tomoyo & Eriol~*~*~*~*~

Tomoyo and Eriol sat together in a smaller restaurant than the one before. It was more like a small café that was fancy and cozy.

"How's Ruby and Spinner? Did they come with you to Japan?" Tomoyo asked

"Well, no. They're staying in England to take care of some of my unfinished business, after that they might come to visit" replied Eriol

"I'm glad that you came back from England" Tomoyo smiled but realized that she may have sounded a bit selfish so she hastily added, "Not that I want to keep you from your business or anything." she trailed off.

"It's okay Tomoyo, I'm glad I came back and there is something I would like to tell you." Eriol replied 'Oops, maybe I shouldn't of said that, I might not even be ready to tell her I love her. What have I gotten myself into?'

"And what would that be?" Tomoyo replied cutely

"Well.er.Well." Eriol began.

"Well?" Tomoyo asked getting really anxious now. 'Hmm, I wish you wanted to tell me something like 'I love you' because you'll never know how much you mean to me Eriol'

"It's just tha- just that, umm." Eriol stuttered 'Okay I'm making a fool of myself aren't I?'

"Just? Just what?" Tomoyo taunted 'could it be, is he gonna tell me something like I love you?'

"They truth is Tomoyo, that I-"

~*~*~*~*~Penguin Park~*~*~*~*~

Sakura ran to the park as fast as she could to see Syaoran. When she got there, se spotted Syaoran sitting on a bench near the slide.

She walked up closer to the bench in which Syaoran was sitting She looked at him and saw worry in his eyes, when she realized this, she got worried herself.

"What's wrong Syaoran?" Sakura asked with concern

"The press, they've heard rumors of me being in Japan. They know I'm not in Japan anymore." Syaoran replied. At his response Sakura couldn't help but giggle.

"I was so worried, and it was just the press?" Sakura laughed

"It's not funny!" Syaoran retorted

"Actually it is." Sakura laughed.
