Chapter 7: Destiny Hikari II
Syaoran broke the silence and asked, "But why Lilly?" He was now sitting next to Sakura looking straight at Lilly.
"Oh, I guess you also haven't heard about the Guardians story yet. The north and South guardian both fell in love and lived happily. But as I said before how the fire guardian fell deeply in love with the Wind Guardian, well the Wind guardian escaped from him (since they both lived in heaven) and flew to earth, where the water guardian was found. There she fell straight in love with him. This was a very bad beginning for all three guardians."
"How obvious, a love triangle." Syaoran mumbled.
"Shush Syaoran!" Sakura exclaimed.
'Shishiro and Suzuki.' Eriol smiled to himself, but his face expression changed in a split second. His eyes were expressing sadness.
"Eriol are you ok?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, just thought of something that's all. Don't worry so much Tomoyo." (A/N: Nowhere have I heard that before? Hmm.)
" Oh, ok."
"May I please continue?" asked an impatient Lilly.
"Hai."
"Ok. Well the wind and the water guardian, what they had was pure love. They lived happily for many years, but the fire guardian saw this from a portal (from heaven), and found out that the wind guardian was a mortal. She didn't have the celestial mark of a goddess; she had the mark of a guardian."
"Hoe? Then what's wrong?"
"A guardian is supposed to have 2 marks, a celestial mark of a god or goddess on their neck, and the other one is supposed to be a element of some sort on their ankle. Without one of these, the balance of the guardians and mortals alike will be crossed." She then continued on the love triangle story.
"As I was saying, the Fire guardian saw that she was in the arms of his dear friend, Suzuki, the water guardian. He got so jealous that he went down to earth, and fought a longing battle for his love Shishiro. On the last blow, something terrible happened that they should have never forgotten." She closed her sparkling brown eyes and took a deep breath.
"Suzuki was weak and was about to be killed by Yushimara. But for the love of Suzuki, Shishiro sacrificed herself. Suzuki fought his battle for Shishiro and locked Yushimara away from the heavens and earth until the time has come to take revenge."
"What happened after that?"
"Well, Years later, Shishiro would visit him time to time, and once he passed away, he too joined her in the heavens and live happily."
"Wait, Eriol, didn't Tashi say something about Tomoyo on the letter that he wrote?"
Eriol took out the letter and re read it.
Dear Eriol,
Do you like how I redecorated your place? I know how much your friends mean to you. But you must sacrifice your most precious friend and give her to me. You have 2 days to give her to me Eriol. You know that she can't hide forever, hiding under your wings in favor of protection, for 4 years. I'm warning you, if you give her to me LATE, then I'm afraid that you must suffer the consequences, and I know that you wouldn't like you or your friends being killed. But remember this one thing, Eriol, YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE ME TOMOYO BACK TO ME! I'll be watching you.
-Tashi Moto.
"That's what I thought."
"Hoe? What Syaoran?"
"Eriol, did you know that this was going to happen?"
He closed his eyes and said, "Yes, I knew that the time had come to fight
my own battle. I also knew about my ancestor Suzuki. But I never knew
that the legend would come true."
"Wait, Shishiro? Isn't that the name of this town?"
"Hai, Tomoyo, Shishiro is the name of this town and it's where she lived.
Suzuki is the west side, Momoiro is the north, Jouryoku is the south and
Yushimara is the hell of Destiny Hikari."
"I'm going to go." Eriol got up as Lilly asked him where he was heading.
He simply smiled, "This is my battle. I don't want my precious allies to
get involved with this any further."
"Well too bad, Eriol. We already know everything, there's no reason to
just leave us behind. Yeah, it is your battle, but we all have a part to
play. So don't go deserting us because that's my job. Remember I'm the
lone wolf." Syaoran said sternly crossing his arms as if he was mad at
Eriol.
He chuckled and agreed that he'll stay with them.
"Oh I forgot to give you something!"
***Few minutes later ****
"Woww! Where did you get these?" Sakura exclaimed. Everyone looked at the package of clothes. Green and blue tunics were spread out, many capes were also revealed, and cute pink and lavender dresses were underneath.
"I didn't get them anywhere, I made them. I knew that there would be 4 kids from the planet Earth." She smiled.
"Hoe? How did you know?"
"I can tell visions from the future."
"NANI?!?!?" Syaoran and Tomoyo exclaimed, but in the background you could hear a faint "HOE?"
"Yes, mostly everyone in this part of the town could tell the future." Eriol smiled.
"Hey, why don't you get those clothes on and we'll meet outside of my house. Then once everyone's done, we'll go to the marketplace!"
************************Outside**************************
The first to come out was Syaoran. He was in an emerald green tunic, but the shirt was a turtleneck in the color of black. He also wore an emerald green cape, ever so slightly draping over his broad shoulders. (A/N: Can all you Syaoran lovers picture that? A handsome 14 year old, tall, messy chestnut brown hair, amber eyes and wearing clothes like that. I sure can! ^^ But I'm not a Syaoran fan, I'm an Eriol fan!)
Second to arrive was Eriol. Same kind of outfit as Syaoran, different color but Eriol looked so much better without his glasses. (A/N: (~^_^~)
"Can you see Eriol?" He looked at Syaoran and nodded.
Third was Tomoyo. She had a dress that was lavender, v-neck collar, came to mid-thigh and had a light cape mostly covering her shoulders and had lavender boots that came knee high. Her hair was left long, so her wavy hair flowed nicely along her shoulders. Surely, Tomoyo thought she noticed Eriol blush, but then again, she might be wrong.
"You look great Tomoyo-Chan!" Eriol complimented. "Yeah you do." Syaoran added.
"Wait until you see Sakura-Chan, Syaoran. Ohohohohohoho." Tomoyo giggled, Syaoran blushed and turned around to cross his arms to cover from the embarrassment.
"WAI! KAWAII!" Syaoran turned around swiftly to see what was all the commotion. He then, saw an angel in front of him. Blushing madly, he didn't notice that Sakura was looking straight at him. He was just in a daze. Sakura had a cherry blossom in her hair, same wardrobe as Tomoyo, but cherry blossoms were on her dress, she had a turtleneck as a collar, white boots and white cape.
"Syaoran, are you done staring?" Eriol and Tomoyo teasingly asked in unison. That made matters worse, and making both of their friends blush like crazy.
"I'm SO HAPPY THAT YOU GUYS LOVE MY WORK OF ART!" Lilly yelled from behind Sakura making her jerk and move away from her.
Lilly had her hands clasped together next to her cheek, and had a waterfall of tears streaming down her face.
Both boys snickered and jokingly said, "She's JUST like you Tomoyo."
"NANI?! She is not!" Tomoyo crossed her arms in an annoyed tone.
"C'mon Tomoyo. It is true, just look at her, she DOES act like you." Eriol added. Syaoran was just cracking up. But Sakura stomped on his foot, and gave him a glare. He then sighed and stayed calm.
"No, she does not! She's doing it wrong! LET ME help you Lilly!" Tomoyo stood next to Lilly and did her famous "starry eyed" pose. (A/n: Hope you all know what that is! ^^) Lilly blinked and followed Tomoyo. Sakura giggled, and the two hotties sweatdropped.
'She's gone crazy. No, they both are. What do we do? Can we use magic to break Tomoyo's spell?' Syaoran thought, glaring evilly at Tomoyo.
'We can't help her, Syaoran. She's already corrupted Lilly.'
'When Tomoyo's birthday comes, I'm going to give her a mirror.'
'Why?'
'So she can just work her spell on herself instead of anyone else.'
'You know, that won't work.'
'Shut up, I'm doing this so the madness can stop. Oh guess what? Her lesson is done.'
'No its not, look closer!'
'Is that Sakura?! WHAT THE HELL?!?! WHY THE HELL IS SHE TEACHING SAKURA THAT?!?! I'm GOING TO KILL THAT WOMAN!' He glared even more.
'Now, Now, Syaoran, calm down. Did you know that both of you have something in common? Meaning you and Tomoyo.' Eriol smiled.
'_WE_ have something in common?? What is it? **Please don't let it be something dorky. **'
'You both want to kill someone. You want to kill Tomoyo and Tomoyo wants to kill Kaho.'
'Gee, thanks Eriol for that comment, I feel so much better. (Sarcasm)'
'Your welcome Syaoran. Look their done, lets go.' Both stopped glaring and communicating with each other's thoughts and ran towards the three girls.
"SYOARAN! ERIOL! I can act like Tomoyo now!" Sakura exclaimed linking arms with Tomoyo. The boys sweatdropped and put their hands up in defense, stuttering to calm the three girls down.
'Please Kami-sama, let this all be a nightmare.' Eriol and Syaoran thought in unison.
*****************At the marketplace***********************
The 5 teenagers walking down a narrow road, with shops and many jewelry stores on either side of the road. Lilly, Tomoyo and Sakura ran down to a food and clothes store while the boys looked at the weapons shop.
When they were done looking they all came back to the weapon shop and bought Tomoyo a harp. In return, Tomoyo gave a necklace to Lilly, which had a pearl pendant and diamonds surrounding it. They both hugged each other and went to out to buy 4 little jewelry bags so that Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol can all carry their jewels (the one that Kaho gave them) on this long journey.
***Back at Lilly's house***
"Good God! Do you know what time it is?" Eriol exclaimed, looking at the face of his watch.
"It's 10:00 pm Eriol. Why what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, I just felt like saying 'Good God'." He smiled and all four teens sweatdropped.
"Good night!" Tomoyo and Syaoran said gloomily in unison.
"Hey!! You guys are sleepy already?" Eriol said. Sakura was just talking to Lilly about the clothes she gave them before and Lilly ran off leaving Sakura and Eriol standing next to each other.
"Yeah we are." But Syaoran mumbled something that had to do with the words 'Eriol', 'annoying', and 'shut up.'
"Oh wait! I already set your rooms! Hope you don't mind." Lilly exclaimed. Nobody refused this offer and went to the rooms, Eriol went to the same room as Syaoran and Sakura went to the same room as Tomoyo.
Few seconds later, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS DOING HERE!?" all four ran out of the room, holding another person's bag. Sakura had Syaoran, Tomoyo had Eriol's and vice versa with the guys.
Lilly looked at them confused and asked, "Aren't you two going out?" pointing at Sakura and Syaoran and then switching to Tomoyo and Eriol.
Everyone became red as a tomato and swiftly nodded. "AHHHH! GOMEN-NASAI!" she bowed slightly hiding the blush and continued, " I just thought that you guys were couples."
Lilly panicked and exclaimed, "H-Here I'll put everything back. Gomen- nasai! I'm such a baka!! ARG!"
Sakura, touched Lilly's hand and softly said, "It's ok, Lilly. We'll live. After all we're friends right?" Sakura looked back and saw everyone blushing but Eriol came forward and took Lilly's hand. "Arigato Lilly for everything and good night." He bent down and slightly brushed his lips against her hand, making her blush.
Tomoyo's eyes widen and felt a bit of jealousy take control over her, but she took a deep breath and told everyone that she was going to sleep. Eriol was puzzled.
***Tomoyo's and Eriol's room (few hours later)***
Eriol was lying on the left side and Tomoyo was on the right. Both sharing the same blanket but two different pillows and Tomoyo was lying sideways, so her hands went between her cheek and pillow. Eriol, on the other hand was lying down and two arms raised above his head, his pale hands behind his blue silky hair. Both of them were awake, non-succeeding to fall asleep.
"Tomoyo?"
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong?"
"What do you mean Eriol?
Eriol turned around facing Tomoyo's back. "You were acting really weird when I kissed Lilly's hand."
"I was just tired. That's all." Tomoyo stiffened.
Eriol put on a sly smile. "You weren't JEALOUS were you, Tomoyo?" She swiftly turned around meeting his sapphire eyes and gave him a straight face.
"I wasn't Eriol. I was tired." She lied. Eriol knew that something was up, so he came up with a plan. He tickled her. Tomoyo started to get into a fit of giggles, and couldn't hold it in.
***Syaoran and Sakura's room***
Giggles and laughter was heard about in the quiet room of Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran tossed and turned a bit and finally gave up. He was sleepy and cranky.
"What the hell are Tomoyo and Eriol doing in that room? God, they won't shut up!" He groaned.
Sakura moaned and groaned and suddenly sat up, still feeling a bit sleepy. "Hoe? What time is it?" Syaoran looked at his watch and said "WTF?!?! They are freakin' crazy! Why are they up so late! It's 3:00 am!!"
"Now, Syaoran, no cursing. *Yawns* Let's go see what they are doing." Sakura linked arms with Syaoran and walked sleepily to their front door. Once they opened it, eyes were wide and mouths were open.
Tomoyo was now on top of Eriol, trying to bite his neck and Eriol was holding back Tomoyo by putting a major grip on her wrists.
Syaoran smirked. "Aren't you guys cute. Is Tomoyo-chan trying to kiss your neck Eriol?"
"Shut up Syaoran." Eriol sternly said.
" Aren't you guys cute. Is Sakura your girlfriend now?" Eriol mimicked pointing to the arm linkage. Syaoran blushed and pushed Sakura off of his arm, but she was snoozing on his arm.
"Carry her to your room. You don't want her to fall right?" Tomoyo winked. Syaoran gulped. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and on the lower part of the back. He smiled at the cute sleeping Sakura and opened the door with his foot. He then walked in and put her to bed, closing the door behind them.
"Phew now their gone. So Tomoyo where's the kiss on my neck huh?" Eriol teased. Tomoyo gave him a glare and spat "I wasn't even going to kiss your neck, I was going to bite it!"
"Oh well, that's too bad. But can you get off of me? You're too heavy. You _MUST_ be gaining weight." Eriol chuckled. He liked teasing Tomoyo, he didn't know why, but when he was around her. He felt happy.
"Ha.Ha. Very funny Eriol." Tomoyo got off of him and closed the door. He then snuggled in while Tomoyo was getting ready to go to sleep.
"Good night Tomoyo. We have a BIG day tomorrow!" Eriol turned around and waited for a reply.
"Good night Eriol. But tomorrow is today." She giggled. Eriol looked as if he had done something really stupid. He then slapped his hand on his forehead and said, "Damn, I forgot. It's like 3 :05 in the morning right?"
"Uhm, actually it's a quarter after 3." Tomoyo said checking her watch. Few minutes later, they all fell asleep.
****************** In the morning! **************************
Everyone was waiting for birds to chirp and the sun to shine in through the windows. But instead of birds chirping, it was the sound of screaming and banging. What a wonderful way to wake people up.
"HOEEEEEEEE! SYOARAN! GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!" Sakura yelled banging the door with her fists.
"NO, KINOMOTO! I'M TAKING A SHOWER!"
"MOMMA THE FOOD'S READY!"
"GOOD GIRL LILLY! Now, feed the guests please. I'm going to get some more sleep."
*********Tomoyo's and Eriol's room********************
"Augh. What is everyone yelling for??" Eriol groaned as he got out underneath the covers. He looked over to his left side and saw Tomoyo still fast asleep.
'She looks so cute when she sleeps. I better wake her up later.' He thought smiling to himself.
"ARE YOU DONE SYOARAN!?" Eriol sighed hearing this. 'When would Sakura and Syaoran get along?'
"NO! JUST KEEP PAITENT!!!"
Once Eriol came out of the room, he saw Sakura still banging on the door. He crossed his arms, leaned on the doorway, smirked and watched them in amusement.
******************Sakura's P.O.V.****************
'Arg. Syaoran takes too long. I need to brush my teeth, wash my face and take a shower. He's been at it for hours!! C'mon Syaoran hurry up!'
I was still banging on the door; I didn't hear the sliding door slide open so I lost my balance and fell. Suddenly as I was coming down to my fall, strong arms caught me. As I looked up, I saw a pair of sparkling amber- brown eyes that took my breath away. OH no! Syaoran caught me!
"HOEEE! Gomen-nasai Syaoran! I didn't mean to. I didn't hear the -" I was cut off my his voice.
"Are you ok?" he asked, my eyes meeting his. He looked so good, with his wet chestnut brown hair slightly covering his amber eyes, and his well- toned body structure was to die for, plus he only had a towel wrapped around his waist (A/N: **Wink** **wink**).
"Err, yeah. I'm fine. Um. Arigato." I blushed, "C-Can I use the bathroom now?"
"Good morning Sakura and Syaoran! Whoa buddy! Workin' out for the lady I see?" Eriol chuckled, as he passed by. He gave me a wink and I blushed madly. ' HOE! Why is this happening to me? Doesn't Eriol have Tomoyo to pick on?'
Syaoran just smirked and got out of the way. 'Finally! He's GONE!' Few minutes later, I found my toothbrush from my bag and searching for the toothpaste that was supposed to be right next to the sink was gone! "HOEEE! SYAORAN! WHERE'S MY TOOTHPASTE?!" I stomped out in anger. "SYAORAN! YOU NEED TO GIVE ME YOUR TOOTHPASTE!!"
***********Back at Tomoyo's room*****************
Eriol came back and shook Tomoyo lightly on the shoulder but she couldn't wake up, he whispered her name in her tiny ear and shook her even more.
"Huh? What? 5 more minutes Eriol." Tomoyo groaned. Her eyes shot up and she gasped, "ERIOL?!"
"Yeah, it's me. Did you miss me?"
Tomoyo sat up and grouchily said, "You wish Eriol, you wish. Why is Sakura- Chan and Syaoran-kun making so much noise?!?!"
Eriol put on a sly smile, "It's because they're flirting. By the way, I have a present for you. Would a kiss be fine m'dear?" he said flirtingly. He moved closer, and his lips were a few inches away from hers, and they slowly closed their eyes and caved in a bit closer. All of a sudden like a wave hitting the rocks, Eriol was on the floor, his eyes swirled and a bandage on his forehead. Tomoyo had hit him with a pillow, but she knew that she had hit him with something hard.
"Eriol, if you ever do that again. I swear I'm going to tape your mouth." She crossed her arms and closed her eyes talking to him in an annoyed tone of voice. She grabbed her stuff and went to the bathroom to get ready.
"I should've caught her in the afternoon, morning was a bad idea." Eriol breathed, as he was still lying down, hurt from her powerful blow. He looked at the left side of him and saw the pillow, he cried "AND DAMMIT! It was only a pillow! What in the name of bloody hell did she put in her pillow?"
He thrusted the pillow into his arms and took something out, which was old looking wooden box. He opened it and cried once more, "IT WAS A DAMN JEWELRY BOX TOO!"
***************(Hours later) Outside of Lilly's house****************
"Arigato Lilly for everything. We had fun!" Tomoyo gladly exclaimed. Syaoran, Sakura and Eriol nodded. Lilly had tears of Joy welling up in her brown eyes.
"Your welcome, But I am so happy that I made new friends! Demo, before you go, the next place you might have to be is a place to stay over night before you head out to the Queen's palace. Some Hotels are bound to be dangerous, and they won't allow Weapons like a sword, staffs or even a harp is dangerous. Go to a Hotel that is called "Shishiro Springs". It's the safest place there is."
Everyone noted that and hugged Lilly and her family good bye.
As they walked farther and farther away from her house, they were getting closer and closer to "Shishiro Springs".
"First Stop Shishiro Spring!"

The 5 teenagers walking down a narrow road, with shops and many jewelry stores on either side of the road. Lilly, Tomoyo and Sakura ran down to a food and clothes store while the boys looked at the weapons shop.
When they were done looking they all came back to the weapon shop and bought Tomoyo a harp. In return, Tomoyo gave a necklace to Lilly, which had a pearl pendant and diamonds surrounding it. They both hugged each other and went to out to buy 4 little jewelry bags so that Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol can all carry their jewels (the one that Kaho gave them) on this long journey.
***Back at Lilly's house***
"Good God! Do you know what time it is?" Eriol exclaimed, looking at the face of his watch.
"It's 10:00 pm Eriol. Why what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, I just felt like saying 'Good God'." He smiled and all four teens sweatdropped.
"Good night!" Tomoyo and Syaoran said gloomily in unison.
"Hey!! You guys are sleepy already?" Eriol said. Sakura was just talking to Lilly about the clothes she gave them before and Lilly ran off leaving Sakura and Eriol standing next to each other.
"Yeah we are." But Syaoran mumbled something that had to do with the words 'Eriol', 'annoying', and 'shut up.'
"Oh wait! I already set your rooms! Hope you don't mind." Lilly exclaimed. Nobody refused this offer and went to the rooms, Eriol went to the same room as Syaoran and Sakura went to the same room as Tomoyo.
Few seconds later, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS DOING HERE!?" all four ran out of the room, holding another person's bag. Sakura had Syaoran, Tomoyo had Eriol's and vice versa with the guys.
Lilly looked at them confused and asked, "Aren't you two going out?" pointing at Sakura and Syaoran and then switching to Tomoyo and Eriol.
Everyone became red as a tomato and swiftly nodded. "AHHHH! GOMEN-NASAI!" she bowed slightly hiding the blush and continued, " I just thought that you guys were couples."
Lilly panicked and exclaimed, "H-Here I'll put everything back. Gomen- nasai! I'm such a baka!! ARG!"
Sakura, touched Lilly's hand and softly said, "It's ok, Lilly. We'll live. After all we're friends right?" Sakura looked back and saw everyone blushing but Eriol came forward and took Lilly's hand. "Arigato Lilly for everything and good night." He bent down and slightly brushed his lips against her hand, making her blush.
Tomoyo's eyes widen and felt a bit of jealousy take control over her, but she took a deep breath and told everyone that she was going to sleep. Eriol was puzzled.
***Tomoyo's and Eriol's room (few hours later)***
Eriol was lying on the left side and Tomoyo was on the right. Both sharing the same blanket but two different pillows and Tomoyo was lying sideways, so her hands went between her cheek and pillow. Eriol, on the other hand was lying down and two arms raised above his head, his pale hands behind his blue silky hair. Both of them were awake, non-succeeding to fall asleep.
"Tomoyo?"
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong?"
"What do you mean Eriol?
Eriol turned around facing Tomoyo's back. "You were acting really weird when I kissed Lilly's hand."
"I was just tired. That's all." Tomoyo stiffened.
Eriol put on a sly smile. "You weren't JEALOUS were you, Tomoyo?" She swiftly turned around meeting his sapphire eyes and gave him a straight face.
"I wasn't Eriol. I was tired." She lied. Eriol knew that something was up, so he came up with a plan. He tickled her. Tomoyo started to get into a fit of giggles, and couldn't hold it in.
***Syaoran and Sakura's room***
Giggles and laughter was heard about in the quiet room of Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran tossed and turned a bit and finally gave up. He was sleepy and cranky.
"What the hell are Tomoyo and Eriol doing in that room? God, they won't shut up!" He groaned.
Sakura moaned and groaned and suddenly sat up, still feeling a bit sleepy. "Hoe? What time is it?" Syaoran looked at his watch and said "WTF?!?! They are freakin' crazy! Why are they up so late! It's 3:00 am!!"
"Now, Syaoran, no cursing. *Yawns* Let's go see what they are doing." Sakura linked arms with Syaoran and walked sleepily to their front door. Once they opened it, eyes were wide and mouths were open.
Tomoyo was now on top of Eriol, trying to bite his neck and Eriol was holding back Tomoyo by putting a major grip on her wrists.
Syaoran smirked. "Aren't you guys cute. Is Tomoyo-chan trying to kiss your neck Eriol?"
"Shut up Syaoran." Eriol sternly said.
" Aren't you guys cute. Is Sakura your girlfriend now?" Eriol mimicked pointing to the arm linkage. Syaoran blushed and pushed Sakura off of his arm, but she was snoozing on his arm.
"Carry her to your room. You don't want her to fall right?" Tomoyo winked. Syaoran gulped. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and on the lower part of the back. He smiled at the cute sleeping Sakura and opened the door with his foot. He then walked in and put her to bed, closing the door behind them.
"Phew now their gone. So Tomoyo where's the kiss on my neck huh?" Eriol teased. Tomoyo gave him a glare and spat "I wasn't even going to kiss your neck, I was going to bite it!"
"Oh well, that's too bad. But can you get off of me? You're too heavy. You _MUST_ be gaining weight." Eriol chuckled. He liked teasing Tomoyo, he didn't know why, but when he was around her. He felt happy.
"Ha.Ha. Very funny Eriol." Tomoyo got off of him and closed the door. He then snuggled in while Tomoyo was getting ready to go to sleep.
"Good night Tomoyo. We have a BIG day tomorrow!" Eriol turned around and waited for a reply.
"Good night Eriol. But tomorrow is today." She giggled. Eriol looked as if he had done something really stupid. He then slapped his hand on his forehead and said, "Damn, I forgot. It's like 3 :05 in the morning right?"
"Uhm, actually it's a quarter after 3." Tomoyo said checking her watch. Few minutes later, they all fell asleep.
****************** In the morning! **************************
Everyone was waiting for birds to chirp and the sun to shine in through the windows. But instead of birds chirping, it was the sound of screaming and banging. What a wonderful way to wake people up.
"HOEEEEEEEE! SYOARAN! GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!" Sakura yelled banging the door with her fists.
"NO, KINOMOTO! I'M TAKING A SHOWER!"
"MOMMA THE FOOD'S READY!"
"GOOD GIRL LILLY! Now, feed the guests please. I'm going to get some more sleep."
*********Tomoyo's and Eriol's room********************
"Augh. What is everyone yelling for??" Eriol groaned as he got out underneath the covers. He looked over to his left side and saw Tomoyo still fast asleep.
'She looks so cute when she sleeps. I better wake her up later.' He thought smiling to himself.
"ARE YOU DONE SYOARAN!?" Eriol sighed hearing this. 'When would Sakura and Syaoran get along?'
"NO! JUST KEEP PAITENT!!!"
Once Eriol came out of the room, he saw Sakura still banging on the door. He crossed his arms, leaned on the doorway, smirked and watched them in amusement.
******************Sakura's P.O.V.****************
'Arg. Syaoran takes too long. I need to brush my teeth, wash my face and take a shower. He's been at it for hours!! C'mon Syaoran hurry up!'
I was still banging on the door; I didn't hear the sliding door slide open so I lost my balance and fell. Suddenly as I was coming down to my fall, strong arms caught me. As I looked up, I saw a pair of sparkling amber- brown eyes that took my breath away. OH no! Syaoran caught me!
"HOEEE! Gomen-nasai Syaoran! I didn't mean to. I didn't hear the -" I was cut off my his voice.
"Are you ok?" he asked, my eyes meeting his. He looked so good, with his wet chestnut brown hair slightly covering his amber eyes, and his well- toned body structure was to die for, plus he only had a towel wrapped around his waist (A/N: **Wink** **wink**).
"Err, yeah. I'm fine. Um. Arigato." I blushed, "C-Can I use the bathroom now?"
"Good morning Sakura and Syaoran! Whoa buddy! Workin' out for the lady I see?" Eriol chuckled, as he passed by. He gave me a wink and I blushed madly. ' HOE! Why is this happening to me? Doesn't Eriol have Tomoyo to pick on?'
Syaoran just smirked and got out of the way. 'Finally! He's GONE!' Few minutes later, I found my toothbrush from my bag and searching for the toothpaste that was supposed to be right next to the sink was gone! "HOEEE! SYAORAN! WHERE'S MY TOOTHPASTE?!" I stomped out in anger. "SYAORAN! YOU NEED TO GIVE ME YOUR TOOTHPASTE!!"
***********Back at Tomoyo's room*****************
Eriol came back and shook Tomoyo lightly on the shoulder but she couldn't wake up, he whispered her name in her tiny ear and shook her even more.
"Huh? What? 5 more minutes Eriol." Tomoyo groaned. Her eyes shot up and she gasped, "ERIOL?!"
"Yeah, it's me. Did you miss me?"
Tomoyo sat up and grouchily said, "You wish Eriol, you wish. Why is Sakura- Chan and Syaoran-kun making so much noise?!?!"
Eriol put on a sly smile, "It's because they're flirting. By the way, I have a present for you. Would a kiss be fine m'dear?" he said flirtingly. He moved closer, and his lips were a few inches away from hers, and they slowly closed their eyes and caved in a bit closer. All of a sudden like a wave hitting the rocks, Eriol was on the floor, his eyes swirled and a bandage on his forehead. Tomoyo had hit him with a pillow, but she knew that she had hit him with something hard.
"Eriol, if you ever do that again. I swear I'm going to tape your mouth." She crossed her arms and closed her eyes talking to him in an annoyed tone of voice. She grabbed her stuff and went to the bathroom to get ready.
"I should've caught her in the afternoon, morning was a bad idea." Eriol breathed, as he was still lying down, hurt from her powerful blow. He looked at the left side of him and saw the pillow, he cried "AND DAMMIT! It was only a pillow! What in the name of bloody hell did she put in her pillow?"
He thrusted the pillow into his arms and took something out, which was old looking wooden box. He opened it and cried once more, "IT WAS A DAMN JEWELRY BOX TOO!"
***************(Hours later) Outside of Lilly's house****************
"Arigato Lilly for everything. We had fun!" Tomoyo gladly exclaimed. Syaoran, Sakura and Eriol nodded. Lilly had tears of Joy welling up in her brown eyes.
"Your welcome, But I am so happy that I made new friends! Demo, before you go, the next place you might have to be is a place to stay over night before you head out to the Queen's palace. Some Hotels are bound to be dangerous, and they won't allow Weapons like a sword, staffs or even a harp is dangerous. Go to a Hotel that is called "Shishiro Springs". It's the safest place there is."
Everyone noted that and hugged Lilly and her family good bye.
As they walked farther and farther away from her house, they were getting closer and closer to "Shishiro Springs".
"First Stop Shishiro Spring!"
