Chapter 8
La Jour De Fere
"Congratulations, Shao Ran-kun!" Sakura praised.
"Shao Ran's still good as always!" Mei Lin added happily.
"Sakura, you must catch the next card! I don't want that brat to catch it again!" Kero complained.
"Shut up, stuffed animal," Shao Ran suddenly said sarcastically.
"What did you say, GAKI?!" Kero jumped to the air to level Shao Ran's eyes.
"Stuffed animal." He said with a sarcastic look.
"YOU.!"
And again, they went into their favorite glaring contest.
"Ano. Kero-chan, Shao Ran-kun." Sakura started.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.!" Kero growled over the fierce-looking Shao Ran.
"N. Never mind." Sakura gave up.
************************************************************************
"Eriol, what are we going to do next? Give them more cards?" asked Nakuru.
"Be mild to them, they just came and almost know nothing about England." Suppi added in his usual tone.
"Know nothing about England?" Eriol repeated Suppi's sentence and smiled.
"Well, as a good host, I surely must show them how wonderful this land is, right?" Eriol said mysteriously.
"Eh?" Nakuru asked, surprised.
"You mean."
************************************************************************
"Wee! It's great! I wish we have one in Hong Kong!" Mei Lin hoped when she saw a railcar(not sure if there's any. -_-;).
"Why are we ended up like this?" Suppi, who was inside Nakuru's bag, asked in a whisper.
"Don't blame me if our master is 'kinda weird." he whispered back.
"Where are we heading to now?" Sakura asked Eriol.
"Hm." Eriol said and looked at a small paper in his hand.
"First, we'll go to."
"Hoe~! This place is wonderful! They sell almost anything!" Sakura squealed in joy as she saw her surroundings.
Blocks and blocks of market queued on her left and right, interesting goods filled each block.
"This place is called Camden Market. Tourists from all over the world usually come here." Eriol explained.
"Are there many places like this in England, Eriol-san?" Tomoyo asked politely.
"Hm. Portobello Market, maybe? I don't really often go to this kind of places, though." he admitted with a smile.
"I see." Tomoyo smiled, almost as mysterious as Eriol's...
"Ah, right!" Tomoyo suddenly gasped and pulled out her. what else, camcorder...-_-;
"Sakura in Camden Market!" she exclaimed as she filmed the sweat dropping Sakura.
************************************************************************
Few minutes later.
"Sakura! You bought many things in here!" said Mei Lin.
"Ahahahaha! I just can't resist the great goods(Um." she paused when she spotted Mei Lin and her bags.
"It seems that you can't resist it either." Sakura said silently with a sweat drop.
"Ohohohoho! I bought gifts to all of my cousins!" she admitted innocently, not noticing that everybody started to sweat drop...
"But I can see why, the goods here are marvelous!" said Tomoyo.
"Shao Ran, what did you buy?" Mei Lin asked her silent cousin.
". Nothing." he answered shortly.
"WHAT?! We seldom go to England! Don't you want to buy anything?!" Mei Lin asked in disbelief.
"I don't really want to buy anything." Shao Ran shrugged.
"Why don't you enjoy yourself little, my cute descendant?" Eriol joined in.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" Shao Ran suddenly shouted.
"There, you're much funnier this way." Eriol said with an angelic smile.
Shao Ran's face blushed with anger and shame.
"Y. You!" he said angrily.
"Ah, let's go to other places!" Eriol said, ignoring his raged descendant.
************************************************************************
They went to another place by bus, Sakura watched the streets with delight.
"That's Brixton, there were lots of riots years ago." Eriol explained.
"Riots?! About what?!" Sakura asked in surprise.
"Well, lots of things, I don't really know, since I'm somewhere else." he admitted.
"Then how did you know there were riots going on?!" Sakura asked.
"That's what newspaper are for," he said with a smile.
"Oh." Sakura said in shame.
They passed many places and streets, Sakura watched at them enthusiastically...
'Well. I'm afraid your father won't like it if I bring you to some clubs and bars.' Sakura remembered Eriol said that about Leicester Square.
Then Eriol also showed the train stations: Kings' Cross and Charing Cross. And there was also Victoria Street and Gatwick. Sakura really like it in England.
Then, the bus stopped.
"Come on, we've arrived." Eriol said as he hopped down the bus.
Sakura faced many high-class looking houses in front of her.
"Wow." Sakura stood in awe.
"This, is Notting Hill." said Eriol.
"This is where the rich in London live." he added.
"The houses here are huge and beautiful! Like Tomoyo's house!" she exclaimed with beaming face.
"Ohohohoho." Tomoyo laughed her hime-type laugh.
"So. all the rich in London live in here?" Shao Ran unexpectedly asked.
"Well, I don't know you're interested." Eriol grinned mischievously.
Shao Ran blushed in shame.
"No, there are also other real estates like: Blackheath, Marble Arch, Primrose Hill, Fulham, or Chelsea." he spelled out.
"I see." Shao Ran responded shortly.
"Houses and houses everywhere!" Mei Lin sighed.
"I want to go shopping!" she wailed to herself.
"Then why don't we go shopping?" said Eriol, who suddenly popped up beside her.
"Eh?! I don't mean." Mei Lin said gawkily.
"Never mind, it's just the time!" he said happily.
"The. time?!" Mei Lin asked confusedly.
Eriol smiled nicely.
************************************************************************
"Oxford Street is really a great place to shop, ne, Mei Lin-chan?" Sakura asked happily.
"." Mei Lin thought worriedly.
"Me. Mei Lin-chan?" Sakura asked awkwardly.
"Ah, gomen, I'm thinking." Mei Lin answered, not wanting to confuse Sakura more.
"Are you okay? You looked nervous."
"Of course I'm okay! I'm cheerful and happy as ever! Ohohohoho!!" she answered with a fake laugh.
"Oh, okay then!" Sakura said, relieved.
'What did Eriol mean?!' She thought hard.
************************************************************************
After visiting Tate Modern Art Gallery, The London Eye, Earls Court, and took a few photos with Admiral Nelson in Trafalgar Square, they finally visited the famous Thames River.
"It's. filthy."
"Shao Ran-kun!" Sakura whispered to Shao Ran, who said that without thinking twice.
"Don't' worry, Sakura-san, I admitted that." Eriol said, as cheerful as ever.
"But it's actually a nice place. If only it's not dirty." Eriol's words trailed off.
Sakura felt a twinge of empathy in her chest.
"Well, let's go home!" suggested Eriol as he walked away.
************************************************************************
"Sakura? What's wrong?" Tomoyo asked worriedly as they stepped into the bus...
"." Sakura didn't say a thing.
"Chotto matte! I'll be back in 5 minutes!" Sakura suddenly said with a determined tone and ran away.
"Oi! Where are you going?!" Shao Ran shouted.
But Sakura had gone.
Sakura arrived at Thames River, panting.
"RELEASE!" Sakura changed her staff into a wand.
"ERASE!" Sakura shouted.
A jester-like woman(or man?!) carrying a white cloth appeared from the card. The Erase flew above the river, waving the cloth as the magical card went by.
The river that was filthy became clean in a second.
"Great!" she said to herself, satisfied.
After that, she turned away and made her way back to the bus.
The river water glistened in the sunset.
************************************************************************
"So, Eriol. What's actually your point?!" asked Nakuru, confused.
"Why did you take them and us around the town? What is behind all this?" Suppi added.
"Just as I expected." Eriol smiled.
"Huh?" Nakuru's eyebrow twitched.
"What do you mean?" Suppi asked.
Eriol looked at the now-sweat dropping guardians, smiling.
"Looking at clean water of Thames River on sunset is great, right?" he moved a bit, revealing an energy ball in his hand, which viewed the glistening water of Thames River. -_-;
"Erio~l!" Nakuru shouted with a huge sweat drop while Suppi shook his head with a sigh.
"He really never changes."
************************************************************************
Well! Isn't it great or what?! Well, at least for me, 'cause I just finished it and quickly posted this fic! ^0^(woo-hoo!) Today's a tiring day. I had a flag ceremony today! n_~ (wink!) It's so hot! But I managed to finish this fic! Yay! Great! So please show your appreciation by *ahem* reviews. -_- P.S. Next week: What happened to the plant Tomoyo bought?! It seems. growing to fast! Hint: It's almost the same as the original Clow Card Sakura caught in the early episodes before Shao Ran came! n_~ Keep reading and reviewing!
