A week had passed and nothing had approached Sakura. Not Eriol's test, or this new magic. Sakura had gone out night after night waiting. No one went with her except Tomoyo. She felt lonely just knowing that normally they'd be with her. All of them.. Today was the day before test day and Sakura hadn't 'caught' anything. Tonight Sakura was supposed to be going out again but even Eriol insisted that they all go out for a meal, just to have there last chance before the big day. It was kind of like a wedding only the opposite, if you know what I mean. But that wasn't the only thing that was to hapen that night. Li insisted to Eriol that he was to tell Tomoyo today or Li would announce it to everyone at dinner. He, Sakura and Kero, had made a plan to get them together. You see, the person who noticed that 'look' at Sakura's house was Kero, and he told Sakura. Then, Sakura confronted Tomoyo and got it out of her that she had a crush on him. But this was the guilty part. Sakura told Li and Li confronted Sakura about Eriol. He was very suprised to see that she actually laughed instead of getting angry. They made up a plan. A fool proff plan. A plan not even Eriol or Tomoyo put together could not recognise. See, it was nicely put together no? And shows honesty means a lot.
Eriol paced up and down the corridor, just outside the restraunt. He was really nervous and when I say nerovus I mean really nerovus. He was practically pulling his hair out, while the others were trying to get Tomoyo to follow him, without her noticing.(You may be wondering why Kero was alowed out. Simply because they were actuallly at Tomyos' masion in one of the rooms they called the restraunt.) . Li and Sakura started there, what Li called, 'the soppy scene'
Li accidently, on purpose, got ketchup on his chin. Sakura gently wiped his chin with a napkin before he dipped his finger in the ketchup and plopped it on her forehead and so on until Tomoyo actually started to get a bit bored of it.
"Eriol's been gone for a while, Tomoyo will you go see if he's alright?" Sakura said casually
"Why can't you?" Tomoyo protested
"Because I am trying to get ketchup off my fa - oi!!"
Tomoyo sighed and reluctantly got up and went looking for Eriol. Great. Now she was starting to panick. Waht would she say? But she was very suprised that when she opened the door Eriol was in the middle of his pacing and practicaly barged her. She landed on the carpet (it was thick so she wasn't hurt) with a bump. Tomoyo looked up and her eys met his. It was like some sort of Medusa thing. They just stared for minutes or maybe hours, they themselves couldn't tell. The world could have split in half and they wouldn't have noticed. Silently, Eriol gave Tomoyo his hand and helped her up. He kissed her, delicately.
"Say that you'll meet me tomorrow at the park." he murmured
"I will" she whispered and he left.
Tomoyo went to open the door but smoething blocked her way behind it, followed by a loud 'ow' from a voice that sounded like a lot like Sakura's.
"Is everything ok in there?" Tomoyo said smiling.
She knew they knew but was sure if she pretended that she hadn't a clue they had, then they wouldn't confront her with it. Hopefully. She tried to open the door again, and this time it opened properly.
"I swear, this is the first time a door has ever jammed for me in my own home." she said amusing herself by the look on Li's guilty face and how Sakura tried to smile her way out of it. "It's really weird, isn't it Sakura?"
"Y-yeah, really."
"Eriol left, he said he had to go somewhere."
"Where?"
"Dunno, didn't ask." He didn't even tell me he was going, he just, well, went. she thought
