Syaoran bounded out of the airport and took a deep breath. "Finally! Back in Japan!" He said, grinning and scaring various people around him.

A chuckle came from behind him and he turned and gave a little growl as Eriol smiled as he approached. "You know, I don't think it's such a good idea to draw so much attention to yourself by frightening the people around you."

"What do you know," Syaoran snorted as he crossed his arms over his chest. Eriol simply ignored him and called for a taxi. Grumbling, Syaoran grabbed his things and followed after the blue haired boy.

After they had stuffed their things into the taxi and told the driver where they were going, Eriol turned to Syaoran, his smile gone. "Are you going to tell Sakura about you're little....gift?"

Syaoran paled and shook his head. "Not if I can help it. There's no telling what she'd think! I....I can't risk it. Not yet at least."

Eriol shook his head. "I don't really see how you can keep it a secret for long, and she might be mad at you for keeping it from her. Just don't wait until it's too late to tell her." he warned.

The amber eyed boy shrugged uncomfortably and stared out the window, every once in awhile rubbing his nose. Eriol noticed and grinned. "What's wrong my cute descendant?"

Syaoran glared at the grinning boy, then mumbled low enough for Eriol to hear, but not the driver. "The driver's wearin some kinda cologne or something that irritates my nose."

"Ah, your nose to sensitive?" Eriol chuckled.

"Whatever. Did you tell them we were back?" Syaoran asked, staring out the window again.

"Well, I told Tomoyo, but she wants us to surprise Sakura at school."

"Great," Syaoran mumbled. "Just what I need, a place that'll drive my senses crazy for the first coupla days." he complained, then a slight smile crossed his face."At least I'll be able to see her again."

Halfway across the world, an odd dark haired man stared out at the streets below from his balcony. The door to his room made a light click as it was closed, but the man didn't turn around to see who had entered. He already knew who it was. "Report Dogan."

The man named Dogan was a pale, lanky, blonde man dressed in a dark suite and wearing dark sunglasses. The man bowed low. "M'lord Cian, we captured the requested book." Dogan said and held out an ancient looking book.

Cian smirked, turning from the view and strode across the room. He took the book and started scanning through the pages. His smirk slowly disappeared as he scanned the pages. "What's this? It doesn't give me anything useful! I already know all this! What use-" he stopped as something caught his attention. "What's this?" He murmured to himself, reading the section he found intently.

"M'lord Cian?" Dogan asked in confusion.

The dark haired man chuckled as he closed the book. "Clow cards. Interesting." He murmured to himself. He then turned his attention back to Dogan. "What is the last that's been heard of the Li beast?"

Dogan straightened his jacket and frowned. "We don't have anyone specific on it, but the latest report was that he had disappeared from that forest he was hiding in."

Cian snorted. "Weak humans. Can't even kill a simple beast. Are there any clues as to his wearabouts?"

The pale blonde shook his head. "No M'lord, but if you would like, I can put our best teams on it."

"Excellent. I want to hear as soon as they find the beast." Cian nodded.

"At once." Dogan paused a moment. "Um, M'lord Cian? What is so important about this beast?"

"Simply put," Cian said, returning to his position on the balcony. "He may be the key to finding these Clow cards mentioned in this book."

Sakura skated to school as fast as she dared. She had awoke later than she should and was tired after having yet another wierd dream involving that castle and the people that she saw. She was getting tired of having the dreams, but she guessed it would be important later.

Tomoyo greeted Sakura cheerfully at the school gates, frowning at Sakura's tired look. "Sakura, you don't look to well. Are you alright?" she asked worriedly.

"I'll be fine Tomoyo. Just dealing with a dream I don't understand." Sakura answered, giving a tired smile.

Her best friend grinned almost evilly. "I know something that would cheer you up!" She giggled and grabbed Sakura's hand. Sakura surpressed a groan as she was dragged into the school yard.

Eriol smiled mysteriously at the passing students from his spot under a tree. The various students kept looking from the strange boy to the even stranger one in the tree fidgetting like he was suffereing from a caffine buzz. Eriol glanced up at the chestnut haired boy and shook his head. "Syaoran, do calm down. You're acting crazier than usual." he commented calmly.

Syaoran growled down at the blue haired boy, but tried to calm his nerves. "I can't help it. I haven't seen her in a long while. What if she forgot me?" He asked in horror.

"She hasn't forgotten you," Eriol sighed. "I'm sure she'll recognize you on sight."

Feral amber eyes looked down at the other boy in uncertainty. "Are you sure? It HAS been six years." Syaoran suddenly paled. "What if she's found another guy?!" He gasped in dismay.

Eriol focused towards the school gates as he replied to Syaoran's question. "I'm sure you don't have nothing to worry about, so calm down. You've hunted with those wild wolves for a bit too long." He watched as two girls approached the tree, curious when the auburn haired girl suddenly stopped and stared towards them. He raised an elegant eyebrow in slight surprise when she came charging towards the tree as fast as she could shouting Syaoran's name. The boy she had called for froze, staring intently at the approaching girl, before a wide grin crossed his face and he leapt out of the tree to catch the girl.

The two hugged tightly, murmuring softly to each other, and Syaoran buried his nose into her short auburn hair. Eriol waited long enough for Syaoran to take in Sakura's scent fully and apologize for being kept from contacting her, then he smiled and greeted her. "It's been a long time Sakura, Tomoyo."

Tomoyo nodded, filming the reunited couple and Sakura turned in Syaoran's embrace to smile at Eriol. "It's good to see you! Are you staying this time?" Sakura asked hopefully, turning more of her attention to Syaoran.

Syaoran smiled. "I hope to stay here, but Eriol might leave for England again after awhile."

Sakura pulled out of Syaoran's embrace, but grabbed his hand and started dragging him off. "Well then, let's show them around Tomoyo!"

Dogan silently walked the dark streets until he came to a door hidden in the shadows to normal eyes. He opened the door and strode through the throng of dancing people. He headed towards a door up a set of stairs located towards the back and opened it, everyone ignoring him. Inside the room was a dark haired woman dressed in a revealing red dress and reclining on a black couch. In her hands was a wine glass with a think red liquid and three handsome men were serving as her servants. The woman looked up at him with a raised eyebrow and a slight smile.

"Dogan, what brings you here? I didn't think this was your thing." The woman said smoothely.

The pale man's expression never changed as he watched the woman sip at the red liquid from behind his shades. "I have a job for you Calisto." He said curtly and pulled a large envelope from his jacket, handing it to her.

The woman, Calisto, placed her wine glass on a silver tray one of the serving men held and opened the envelope and looked at the file inside. "My, he's cute. For a beast."

"Lord Cian wants you to find him, then report immediately on his whereabouts." Dogan explained.

"Oh?" Calisto asked, raising a brow. She picked her glass back up and placed the folders on the tray. "I thought we killed beasts like him."

"Not this time. Report immediately when he is found." Dogan answered, then strode out the door.
