Sakura turned to the voice a few groups passing them but the girl with the frizzy hair seemed interested, although with the poor Japanese she spoke earlier she doubted she could understand what was going on. She only looked past Sakura and blushed catching up with the other Americans.

Sakura looked back in front of her, her mouth dropped. Meilin was elbowing a black haired young man , looking annoyed.

Meilin was wearing a long black skirt and a red short sleeved shirt, her hair down her back , past her hips, holding a purse. "Taichi!" She said glaring at him, still ramming her elbow into his ribs.

He was easily stopping her brutal looking jabs, with one hand, extending the other to Sakura. " Hello, I'm Li Taichi, Meilin's brother." He said.

Meilin had given up. " It was SUPPOSED to be a surprise, but I went ahead and decided to check in, because-" She was interrupted .

" Because we sensed strong magical energy surrounding this place all the way from China."

Taichi said, making Meilin nod. Tomoyo raised her eyebrows. " What are you talking-" Before she could finish their sensei(A/n: Teacher=Sensei DUH) called them.

Tomoyo quickly shook Taichi's hand. " I am Tomoyo , good bye." She said as Sakura unclipped her roller blades and ran up the stairs ahead of her.

Taichi raised his eyebrows when Sakura almost fell on her face. " This is the card mistress?" He asked critically . Meilin crossed her arms, leaning against the pillar at the end of the stairs.

" She doesn't look 15 either, more like 13." He said. " Appearances can be deceiving brother." She said.

" There is no need for you to be overly harsh it is after all just your first impression." Taichi laughed.

" If memory serves me, there was a time when you hated her, because you loved-" Meilin's face went red and she crammed her purse in his mouth.

" I was a child it was misplaced affection!" He removed the purse from his mouth.

" Our poor dear mother, fearing she would end up with flippered grandchildren." Meilin was almost ready to put her foot in an uncomfortable place when she composed herself.

" You're lucky this is a public place, with so many witnesses, I'm sure Syaoran would help me dispose of your body." She hissed.

Taichi held up his hands. " I surrender." He said half jokingly.

" What did you mean by 'we' Taichi? It was Eriol who knew. The same Eriol who seems to delight in making us wait." She said, igniting another fight.

She smiled. " It's almost looked like you were trying to impress that so called 13 year old." She said, a grin spreading across her face.

Taichi fell over, jumping right back up. " Of course not, I've only just met her."

Meilin linked her arm with her brother's heading to a set of black couches in the waiting area a few yards from the front desk.

" Brother dear you've just proven my point, you have just met her. I made the mistake of judging her and I haven't forgotten it."

Taichi sweat dropped. " You think I'd be able to out smart my own little sister." He muttered sarcastically.

" Oh don't take it personally not many people can outsmart me." Taichi rolled his eyes.

" Please spare the incoming sermon I get enough of those at home." Meilin raised her eyebrows. " You and I must have different opinions on what sermons are, because as usual I think you deserve whatever you got." Taichi put a hand over his heart. " Oh you wound me, it isn't as if I haven't heard you giggle in glee over my numerous and unjust punishments before, besides I was only playing along it wouldn't take a genius to outsmart you." He drawled. Her face went red. " Oh, you annoying jerk!"

Upstairs...

`

Tomoyo had pulled out her camera , looking over the suite that they were going to share.

The floor was black marble in the large living room, and in the kitchenette, the bathroom had white marble tile and a hot tub sized bath , with white fixtures.

The living room held a large screen TV with a black rug in front of the (of course) leather couch that looked like it could seat seven people, a glass coffee table was the only thing between the couch and the TV

On either side of the couch there were two bonsai plants on top of small dark wooden tables. One was in the usual black granite, the other was wooden.

All the doors were sliding wood framed paper ones, except of course for the door into the hall. Potted plants were everywhere.

Sakura was in one of the two bedrooms tossing her backpack into the closet. A loud thumping sound was heard at the front door. Sakura emptied the contents of her duffel bag onto one of the beds.

" Tomoyo , could you get that please?" She heard a door shut to one of the kitchenette cabinets . " Alright , alright I'm coming ." She said to the persistent knocking.

Tomoyo looked through the peep hole, and made a strange sound, opening the door in a rush. " Kero-chan! What are you doing here? What if somebody saw you?" Sakura sweat dropped and shimmied under the bed to hide.

Kero flew into the bedroom. "Sakura I know you're in here! I can sense you." He said crossing his arms. " And I could HEAR you Keroberus." the voice said, sounding amused.

" Tomoyo I think you should shut the door." The voice said, again, it was a young man's voice, accented. Tomoyo stuttered.

" H-hai Eriol-kun it's so good to see you!" Sakura poked her head from under the bed. " Eriol?" She asked, amazed, only to have the face of a angry Kero in her face.

"Nani?!" A hand wrapped around Kero. " Keroberus, I need to talk to Sakura for a moment." Despite his protests Kero was out of the room in moments. It gave Sakura time to stand up, and see why Tomoyo was stuttering.

Sakura blushed. Eriol had certainly changed...for the better, and taller and the well built-ahem.

" Eriol-kun I don't mean to be blunt but why are you here?" Eriol smiled walking over and shutting the screens just as Kero came flying towards the room. " Sakura I don't know how much time I have to explain, but Meilin did tell you about the magical...force that brought them here right?" Sakura nodded.

"I guess it's more important than they made it seem, they DID fly in form China." Sakura said slowly. Eriol nodded with a slight frown. " Much more." Sakura raised her eyebrows.

*Two hours Later* 10 AM

Sakura latched the door behind Eriol. Her feet making soft padding sounds against the floor. She held a small object in the palm of her hand. Her thumb absently moved over the surface of it as she walked towards the couch . she looked down at the schedule. In ten minutes she had to met the rest of the Chorus in conference room C12.

She made a mental note to thank Tomoyo for Taking Kero down to the Buffet . With a thoughtful look on her face she glanced at the object once more and put it in her pocket. " Well I guess I have some time on my hands. I'll just have to explore a little bit." she said with a smile, she was slipping on her shoe's as a heavy knock at her door startled her.

The top of a messy brown haired head was the sight that greeted her.
