Crazybabe Mihoshi: Hello all and I'm back. I'd like to say how sorry I am for not having this up sooner. Since my dad's death, I've had to deal with 18 or 19 deaths at my school, with people I know or am close to. I'd also like to say thank you so much for being so cool and calm while I was getting this up. I'm now working on the sequel and another Card Captor Sakura story ^^, but, of course I'm being stupid and writing them in note books.
- Thanks again
Crazy.

Chapter 7
The four made sure every piece of equipment was packed, not wanting to hear grief for leaving something behind, along with every piece of luggage, was on the plane and everyone was there.
About three hours ago Sakura and Tomoyo had told their CIA agents that they had lost their chance and they were being pulled out. Syaoran and Eriol had done the same.
Now on the plane, Tomoyo was sitting by Eriol in back of Sakura and Syaoran. The flight captain came on the loud speaker, "Please fasten your seatbelts and turn off all cell phones, laptops. pagers and any other electric equipment that may disrupt our radios. Please make sure all baggage is secured in the compartments above." Everyone on the plane wasn't listening to the captain. Sleep was hitting everyone from being up so long. Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Eriol pulled out their pillows and blankets. Once the plane was in the air, the fasten seatbelt sign went off, signaling that it was safe to unfasten your seatbelts. Tomoyo and Eriol never saw that sign. They were already asleep in each others arms.
Syaoran was having trouble trying to stay up as well. He began to drift off, putting his head on Sakura's shoulder. Sakura didn't seem to mind. In fact, she just put her head on his and fell asleep. All four woke up to camera flashes, people thinking it would make good black mail on there tough heads, along with some thinking it was cute.
The plane had landed. Sakura wondered how long they had been on the ground but got up. Eriol and Syaoran took down Sakura's and Tomoyo's black rolling suitcases, along with their own and walked out to the terminal with each other. "So, we'll hear from you guys if anything comes up", Eriol said as they were walking to the airport. Suddenly, it them that they didn't have each others cell phone numbers. Sakura and Tomoyo began rummaging threw their purses for paper.
Coming out of the terminal, Tomoyo suddenly stopped. Tomoyo had just spotted Sakura's older brother. "Um. Sakura." Tomoyo said grabbing the three's attention. "Your brother's here."
Sakura's eyes went wide. "Oh shit," she said, knowing if her brother saw what she was wearing that he would kill her. Sakura was wearing a tight sundress that was about two inches above her knees. The sundress was a light baby pink and strapless with trim around the top and bottom. Tomoyo had made it for her. For some odd reason, Tomoyo only made clothes for Sakura. Nothing for herself, just Sakura. Sakura knew she could go into fashion and have no problem in the business. "I need to go and change!" Sakura said, frantically look for a bathroom.
Sakura's effort for looking for the bathroom was pointless. Her brother had spotted her. Tomoyo cringed when she saw Sakura's very protective older brother coming towards them. She looked toward Sakura, seeing her friend put on an innocent smile, like a child. "Toya!", Sakura said, dropping her bag and jumping up, putting her arms around Toya's neck as if she was a mere child.
Toya hugged his little sister for a moment. Then, he slowly put her down, wearing a soft smile which wouldn't last long. Toya exploded. " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING?!" he screamed, but then realizing that he was in a public place quieted his voice, still scolding her. "Are you trying to say 'Hi. I'm Sakura. I'm also a slut. Sleep with me!' I can't believe you!" Sakura had started to pout while her brother yelled at her. Tomoyo, the creator of Sakura's dress, knew not to take Toya seriously. He had always been very protective of her and, of course, how she dressed. Tomoyo knew Sakura liked the dress, which was enough for her.
Sakura, still pouting and sick of hearing her brother insult her clothing, especially in front of it's creator spoke. "Wasn't dad supposed to pick me up?", she said, crossing her arms, making her look even more like a pouting child. "Yes, but he just got back from Egypt last night," Toya's anger was starting to leave him. "Let's go home monster," Toya said. "Bye guys," Sakura said, turning to wave at her friends, then back to her brother giving him a 'you are so going to die' death glare.
" I AM NOT A MONSTER!" Sakura yelled once out in the parking lot. She had been resisting until she was out of the building and in the parking lot. She was always trying to show her brother she had more restraint then he had.
Toya took Sakura's bag and put it in the trunk of his car. The two got into the car and Toya started to drive to Georgetown to visit their dad. Sakura was also going to spend the night. She had left her car at her dad's house and was in no mood to drive home, as she always was after long flights.
Toya pulled up into the driveway of their childhood home. After getting her bag out of the trunk, she went up the walk. When she was near the front door, her dad opened it and greeted them. "Hi honey. Did you get him yet?" He asked, giving Sakura a hug, knowing how important it was to her to get this guy. "No," Sakura replied.
She took her bag up to her old room and laid down on the soft pink bed. Sakura fell back to sleep in no time as she was thinking about her old memories of this room and this house.
Her sleep was interrupted by a familiar sound. Cracking her eyes open, she looked at the clock which read 8:30 am. Sakura realized the sound. It was her cell phone. She mumbled something about needing to change the ring tone since the Mexican hat dance was not a fun sound to wake up to. She reached over and got her phone, hitting the talk button. She was going to hurt whoever was on the other end for waking her up so early, but the voice on the other end made her change her mind.
"Sakura," the voice said. "Mhm," she said tiredly. "It's Syaoran. We got another led. We're leaving at 1:00 pm for Lima, Peru." Hearing this made Sakura finish waking up and sit up quickly. Sakura hit the ground, forgetting she was on the edge of the bed. "Did you want me to come and pick you up?" Syaoran asked, hearing the thud on the other end. "Yeah, if its not out of your way, that be great. If its out of your way, I'll a taxi." Sakura said, perking up, her heart going faster. She shook her head, trying to calm herself. 'I can't have a crush on the guy. I don't really know him,' Sakura told herself. She heard Syaoran on the other end tell her that it wasn't out of his way to come and get her. "What time would you be by then?" Sakura asked, realizing she would need to wash her clothes in her suitcase, iron- wait, scratch that, who cares if there ironed, and repack them, and would still need to take a shower. "We need to be there at 12, so how does 10:30 sound? That will give you about two hours to get ready," Syaoran said. He had a clue what was going threw Sakura's mind since he had four older sisters. "Okay. I'll give you directions to my house," Sakura replied.
About ten minutes later, Sakura was off the phone and running around like a mad man. She ran down the stairs and to the family room where she found her dad and brother. "Sakura. What's wrong?" Her father asked seeing Sakura slide through the kitchen to the laundry room with her socks. Sakura ran back out to answer her father's question. "Dad, I have to go to Lima." Her father nodded as Sakura continued. "In two hours someone is coming to pick me up." Sakura's father got up from his chair. "Go take a shower Sakura and I'll do your laundry," he told his daughter. Sakura gave him a quick hug before running back up the stairs yelling what sounded like 'I owe you'. Suddenly there was a loud thud and Sakura was back at the bottom of the stairs again. "Ouch. That hurt," Sakura said getting up and rubbing her tailbone. Toya couldn't stop laughing at his little sister. "Shut up Toya! That really hurt," she said running back up the stairs again and coming back down holding a stuffed animal, chucking it in Toya's face. "Bull's eye," Sakura said running back up the stairs while Toya rubbed his nose.
Sakura took a record shower of fifteen minutes. She put on a skin tight white halter top. She put a baby pink jacket over the halter top and zipped it up half way and slipped into a pair of flares. She ran out of the bathroom to her room to look at the clock. "Aaaaaaahhhhhhh".
Sakura's scream could be heard outside as Syaoran pulled in the driveway. Sakura's father laughed as he folded and zipped up Sakura's suitcase. Syaoran walked up the driveway to the front door and rang the door bell. Toya went and opened the door. Toya hadn't seen this guy before. He had missed him at the air port yesterday, so, he shut the door in Syaoran's face.
Syaoran stood there, dumbfounded. He reached in his jean pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper. He rechecked the address Sakura had given him over the phone. This was the place. He rang the door bell again to see if there was some kind of mistake, but this time he heard a crash and another man opened the door. "Hi, I'm Syaoran. I'm here to pick Sakura up," He told the man at the door, thankful this one hadn't slammed the door in his face. Sakura's father opened the door and stepped aside to let Syaoran cross into the house. Syaoran glanced around the house and came across Sakura, who was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, while she put on innocent grin.
