Author's note: Here's the next chapter as promised. If anything, review please!
The grandfather clock struck at 4:00 a.m. at the same time the doorbell rang, abruptly awaking a sapphire-eyed eighteen-year old. He opened one eye and glanced at the clock Revealing the time. "Argh!! "He rubbed his eyes forcing it to open up " Geez.. "He began to mumble to himself. The doorbell rang continuously, one ring following another. "Nakuru..go get it.." He demanded softly unknowing that Nakuru was asleep peacefully. "Nakuru. " He continued oblivious to his surroundings except the irritating rings of the doorbell. "WAIT!!" He yelled loudly losing his patience.
"What are you doing here..Li?! "The sapphire-eyed man screamed making the amber-eyed male burst into laughter.
"What the he- "the amber-eyed man cut him off.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Nuh-uh, Eriol Hiiragizawa, watch your language, young man ", the amber-eyed man teased.
"SYAORAN LI!! "Eriol's anger began to rise. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! "
"Well, Hiiragizawa I have a favor to ask "Syaoran Li answered in a calm tone. [A/N: Weird ne? It's usually Syaoran who can't control his anger]
Eriol Hiiragizawa stared blankly at Syaoran Li, "Well, aren't you going to let me in?! " Syaoran Li had finally released his anger stepping inside the huge manor.
"You know Li, you idiot!! You should've just asked!!"
"I did, YOU idiot! " Syaoran said as he emphasized the word 'you'
"I'm not the idiot, you damn idiot!" Eriol retorted glaring at Syaoran.
"Quit with your stupid glares, mine are better "Syaoran imitated Eriol's glare.
"So pathetic.." Eriol tore his glare from Syaoran and continued. "What are you doing here? "Eriol shut the door behind him. "You're suppose to be in China? You stupid or what? Got on the wrong plane? Missed me? " Eriol smirked.
"Don't flatter yourself Hiiragizawa. "Syaoran muttered under his breath. " Well then. Why aren't you in England? "
"Answ - - " Eriol began.
"Eriol sama!! Who's at the door? "A dark red haired, ruby-eyed female who seemed to be around 25 years old bounced down the stairs with a black cat tailing the hyper female.
"Who's this cutie? "Nakuru pointed at Syaoran who ignored her comment and suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Excuse me miss, but do you realize what you're doing! " He yelled making it a statement.
"You talk funny" Nakuru giggled making Syaoran blush with embarrassment.
' That's enough excitement for now ' Eriol thought. "Nakuru, please prepare breakfast for Li san ..along with Spinel "Eriol stared at Spinel who just nodded and followed the perky Nakuru.
"What do you want Li? "Eriol asked again losing his patience once more.
"I need a place to stay for a few weeks..maybe a month or so. "Syaoran stated.
"Look Li, this is not a hotel! "Eriol rejected with annoyance.
"Hiiragizawa, please, I don't have anywhere else to stay. "Syaoran pleaded.
"Have you even tried an actual hotel..an..inn..I don't know!! "Eriol threw his hands in the air as an expression of failure.
"All you had to say was no Hiira – "Syaoran began to say.
"Wait... "Eriol cut Syaoran off. "You could stay only for a couple of weeks..maybe a month I guess. "
"Thanks. "Syaoran picked up his luggages. "No, where do I put these? " Syaoran asked Eriol.
"Eriol sama! Li san! Breakfast is ready! "Nakuru broke their conversation yelling from the kitchen.
"Come Li san, we have much to talk about "Eriol pushed open the entrance to the kitchen and following him was Syaoran Li.
Eriol slid into one of the chairs in the kitchen. Syaoran glanced around the kitchen admiring its cleanliness and large space.
"Please sit "Eriol motioned his hands to the chair that was across him.
Syaoran only nodded and slid in to the chair Eriol had asked. Eriol stared at the clock and thought to his self ' It's only 5:15.'
"Eriol sama, I made this for you and Li san "Nakuru flashed a smile placing a plate filled with round, black edible things with butter on top in front of Eriol, she then placed one in front of Syaoran, but with more 'breakfast' on his plate.
"What the hell is this?! "Syaoran yelled out echoing the kitchen not realizing he had said his thoughts out loud.
Eriol's eyes widened as he stared at what Syaoran was complaining about. " You do not like it Eriol sama? Li san? "Nakuru whimpered fiddling with her apron. "I'm sorry Eriol sama, but I wanted pancakes and I'm tired of making coffee for you!! "Nakuru whined crossing her arms across her chest. "So I put the coffee mixture as an extra ingredient. "Nakuru stuck out her tongue.
"Never mind..Li san, are you that hungry? "Eriol tore his stare from the upset Nakuru.
"No, but will you quit being so formal Hiiragizawa. "Syaoran demanded.
"So what I'm polite unlike you. "Eriol chuckled. Syaoran had chose to ignore his comment, due to the real purpose he had arrived at the Hiiragizawa residence and not only did Syaoran need his hospitality, but also his help in something he's more concerned about.
"So really Syaoran why are you here, you don't know anyone else in Japan except me of course." Eriol grinned.
"Yes I do "Syaoran replied seriously "Sakura. Kinomoto "
"Hmm..never heard of her..what about this woman? "
"Well she is..umm..she.... "Syaoran blushed fiddling with a paper in his hands when suddenly Eriol quickly grabbed it opening the letter with his mind filling with so much curiosity. "Let's see.."
Konnichiwa Syaoran kun,
How are you? As for me, I'm fine and excited to meet you in person. I agree with your letter, we should meet. I could finally meet you after all these months. You know I've been waiting. As for the place, Penguin Park is fine, I mean if you want that place to be our first 'date' then why not? Send me another concerning your arrival and time and day of our 'date'. Sorry for the short letter. Take Care!
Always,
Sakura Kinomoto.
Eriol sealed back the letter and handed it to Syaoran. "What about it? "
"Iwasjustwonderingifyoucouldtakemyplaceinthisdatebecauseimneverbeenononeandi dontknowwhattodosowillyougoonthedateformeHiiragizawa? Please?" Syaoran breathed heavily.
"Repeat that will you? "Eriol attempted to listen carefully once again.
"I was just wondering if you could take my place in this date, because I've never been on one and I don't know what to do. So will you go on the date for me Hiiragizawa? Please?" Syaoran repeated slowly and calmly trying hard not to release his anger on him ' Damn idiot! So deaf ' Syaoran thought.
Eriol Hiiragizawa stared dumbfoundly at Syaoran Li who was searching for an answer.
"Hello? "Syaoran waved his hand in front of Eriol. "So, will you? "
"I guess.. " Eriol Hiiragizawa blushed furiously realizing what he had agreed to.
