Chapter Three: Someone's There For You
A/N: I am SOOOOO sorry for not updating here, everyone, but I hadn't had an inspiration splurge for quite a while. I've been reading more fanfics than I should for writing because it took up a lot of my time. Thanks to my reviewers who've supported me here : ) I appreciate your reviews!!
NOTE: I don't own Card Captor Sakura, it belongs to CLAMP. I hope you enjoy this round!

"Ah, Eriol, how are you?" I said on the other phone. It was nice to hear from an old friend.
"I am well, and how about you, Sakura?" said Eriol in his deep voice. That must have been a touch of Clow Reed.
"I'm fine. I'm glad you called, since we haven't spoken for just how long now!" I wanted to tell Eriol about the letter I got from Syaoran. But how would I start? "Have you heard from Syaoran?" he asked me. "Oh, um, I received two letters from him recently. He said he was transferring to a different school. But he didn't mention where exactly." I explained. "He DID say that it wasn't in China, though, so I guess he's moving again to another country. And Syaoran also said something about his paperwork, then he'd visit here soon." "That's good to hear." said Eriol. "So will you be visiting Tomoeda as well, Eriol?" I said, knowing that he had a slight crush on Tomoyo. "Probably...maybe in a month or so." Eriol replied. "That'd be great. Tomoyo would really appreciate it." I said.
I hung up with Eriol about 30 minutes later. I decided to finally write a letter to Syaoran.
-
Syaoran -- I'd been so happy to hear from you in your letters
these past couple of weeks. So you are
transferring to another school again? I hope you
do your very best wherever you're going. I miss
the times when we captured Clow Cards and turned
them into Sakura Cards. I do miss those fighting
moments by your side, Syaoran, I really do. Didn't
ever think you'd really leave. Anyway I do hope you visit soon. Eriol says he
might visit next month. It would be really great
if all of us were together again. By the way, how
is Meilin? And your mother and sisters? I hope
they're doing well. I hope to visit Hong Kong
someday again. Even if the scary force of
Madoushi was the cause of it all, it was no worry. I hope to see you again, Syaoran.
Love, Sakura
----------------------------------------------------
Love, Sakura? All right, maybe that was a bit too weird. I crossed out the part where it says 'Love' and just left 'Sakura' on there. Maybe I'm not ready to send my letter with a greeting like that. I sent the rest of the letter anyway the morning after. Life was always the same.
ONE MONTH LATER
We waited at the airport, Tomoyo and I, for the arrival of Eriol, Ruby Moon, and Supinel Sun. Tomoyo sighed. She'd been waiting for a time like this when she could see Eriol again. "Ah, Sakura, it's only been so long!" she exclaimed. "Yeah, it has, hasn't it?" I breathed. This was boring. I hadn't had a reply from Syaoran since I sent the letter.
"Sakura! Tomoyo!" a voice called out to us. We turned. It was Eriol, Ruby, and Suppi, whom Ruby was carrying like a plush toy. "Oh, welcome back to Tomoeda, everyone." Tomoyo smiled. Eriol smiled back at her. "How are you doing?" I asked Ruby and Suppi. "We're fine, Sakura. Oh and we also brought a friend along. I hope you don't mind." Ruby smiled, and moved aside, revealing... "Syaoran?" He nodded. "Sakura..." he said. I blushed and looked down. "Shall we go? We've got hotel reservations to check in." noted Eriol. Tomoyo nodded. "We don't want you to be late." she said. "Yes, check in closes at 4 PM, doesn't it?" It was 3:30. Tomoyo's limousine driver was to take us to the hotel where the others would be staying. We arrived at the Tomoeda beachside hotel. Not that grand, Eriol was not planning to stay long.
Along the way, Syaoran and I had not spoken to each other. We sat there, silently, while everybody else was catching up with each other, recent news and all. They purposely sat Syaoran and I across from each other in the limo, and I kept looking away or closed my eyes. But then, Syaoran was the first to speak.
"I, uh, got your letter."
I gasped, and didn't expect him to speak to me. "Oh, really you did?"
"Yes. It's a shame we can't capture cards t--anymore." He meant to say together. I could tell.
I nodded. "So...how long are you planning on staying in Tomoeda?"
"As long as Eriol wants to stay.
"And your new school?"
"Oh...that. I'm transferring--"
"YOU'RE STAYING IN TOMOEDA AGAIN?!" Tomoyo blurted out. She was speaking to Eriol, who had told her that Eriol, Ruby Moon, Supinel Sun, and Syaoran, apparently, were back to stay in Tomoeda. I turned back to Syaoran, and smiled.
"So how long would that be?" I asked.
"Like I said, however long Eriol wants to stay." Syaoran laughed.
I leaned my head back. This was going to be interesting. At least Syaoran would be here again.
A/N: So how did you like that? It's a bit weird and I'm quite rusty on my writing skills. I'm trying to tone up on writing and move this story faster...but this chapter was probably not interesting. I'm sorry. .
