Once again, I'm trying to do the chapter-a-day thing. I'm not sure how successful I'll be at it though. I'm checking out a university tomorrow! Fun, eh? Anyway.

I hope this chapter keeps your attention. (And for those who want to know about Sakura's 'Cardcaptor' dream, it just might be explained…)

Last Chapter

The ride to the hotel was quiet, and as Sakura sat gazing out the window, Syaoran couldn't help but stare at her. Remembering her cold hand he took it into his own and held it, gently rubbing it, trying to warm it up, getting only a stare and hiding blush from the little Sakura.

Chapter 6: An Interesting Date

"Would you like to go out tomorrow? His words poured from his mouth before he knew what he was doing. He lowered his head, hiding the emotions he was feeling. Calming down and hearing the silence, he looked up to see those dazzling emerald eyes.

"Well. I just went shopping today and it would be great to try out some new clothes, so sure." Soft hands held a soft cheek as moist, cherry lips kisses the other cheek before the black devil exited the car.

'That's a first. The childish little girl…did that? And this evening… Maybe there's more to her than I thought…' He blushes and touched the cheek where her lips had just been. 'Shit, I didn't even get a time!' He rolled his eyes, "Maybe I can just call in the morning."

--

"God, why did I do that!?" She flushed as she sat down on the couch. She'd changed into her most comfortable pajamas: pink Hello Kitty pants and a pink Hello Kitty cami top. Her make up was off and she was simply Sakura, a normal, 22-year-old girl.

Tomoyo had told her not to wait, but she couldn't help it. Sakura turned on the TV so she would have something to do, but her eyelids told her she'd be doing otherwise. After 10 minutes of television her eyes were closed and Sakura's body was slumped over on the couch.

"Mew! Mew!" A noise came from the bedroom.

"Shut up!" A girl moaned.

Twack Tomoyo hit Sakura in the face with a pillow. "SA-KU-RA!!" Sakura shot up off the couch, saluting Tomoyo.

"HAI!"

"Your phone was ringing…I think it was Sya-o-ran." Each syllable stabbed Sakura in the head as she heard it.

"Okay. I'll call him back. I wonder what that idiot wants?" she murmured, rubbing the back of her head. She forgot he was taking her out for the day. As she picked up her phone it mewed again and Sakura answered…in Japanese.

"Moshi moshi? Hai, Sakura-chan!"

"Err…Sakura?" Syaoran's voice.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot where I was," if only he could see her face. "Stupid, what are you doing, waking me up so early in the morning?"

"Don't tell me you forgot," he sighed, "We're going out today. A date?"

'Crap!' A hand shot to her mouth. "I'm so sorry! I did forget…"

"Thought so. I'll be there in 30 minutes. Bye," he hung up.

Sakura stared at her phone. How did he get her number…? She looked at Tomoyo who only giggled. She must have done something. Tomoyo only turned and began finishing her breakfast.

--

The doorbell rang and Sakura hurried to answer it, only to find a tall, raven haired man with deep blue eyes standing there. The confused look on Sakura's face made the man speak up.

"You must be Sakura. I'm Hiiragizawa Eriol, a friend of Li's. And you look…familiar." As he spoke, Sakura saw several images flash through her mind, and remembered her dream.

"Have you ever been to Japan?" This prompted Eriol to speak in Japanese.

"Yes, I once lived there in fact. I was very young then."

"ERIOL?!" Wait…did you live in Tomoeda?" Her eyes widened.

"Y-yes.. Eh..! You! You're SAKURA?! You've changed so much…and yet not at all."

At their sudden memory return they hugged tightly and for a long time. While they embraced, a frustrated Daidouji walked in, shocked at the man she saw.

"Eriol?" The two friends let go of one another and looked at the lavender haired girl.

"Yeah, it's me. You must be…Tomoyo-chan. You haven't changed a bit, Daidouji-sama." His smile was soft and she blushed, lowering her head.

"Well as you know, I'm friends with Li Syaoran, eh, more like distant cousins…but oh well. He sent me to get you because he had something to do. I wonder if Tomoyo could come?"

"I'd love to. It would be a real treat!"

As they chatted on their way to pick up Syaoran, Sakura couldn't help but think about the things she saw. Were they a glimpse of the future? Or a forgotten past? When she and Eriol were alone, she'd be sure to ask him, as she was certain he would know. Wait, how would he know? Her mind was lost in confusion and it was hard for them to do it, but Daidouji finally got her attention when she yelled 'Sya-o-ran.'

"Sakura, are you okay?" Her two best friends asked at once.

"Yes, fine," then looked over in the seat next to her to see Syaoran. "Oh, hi there…Syaoran," the words came out very emotionless as she smiled. He merely nodded.

The group stopped at a local buffet to eat lunch, and afterwards they decided to walk down the street and brose different shops, letting the two Japanese girls sight-see. As they walked down the street, Eriol grabbed Sakura's wrist and pulled her back, whispering in her ear, "It's been a while, Cardcaptor. Do you remember…anything?"

Sakura stepped back, searching Eriols' grinning eyes, not sure of what to say. That's why. That's why Eriol would know all those crazy thoughts she had. He took those memories away from her. He could read minds; he knew what she didn't; he was…who was he?

"Clow Reed," he said, brushing his lips on her ear as he whispered again. She looked up at him, and he knew he'd just unleashed something he probably shouldn't have, but he wanted to play with her. His Master of the Cards.

"Eriol, what are you doing?" Syaoran asked as he glared daggers at his cousin. Hiiragizawa slowly moved away from Sakura, clasping an arm around Daidouji.

"Nandemonai," he said indifferently.

Sakura stared after him as he walked with Tomoyo and Syaoran did the same to Sakura. Without noticing, Sakura put her arm around Syaoran as well and leaned into him. At this, Syaoran kissed the top her maple head.

'Even after they forget, they're still in love. And I am too…' Eriol smiled to himself, pulling Tomoyo closer to him.

"So what did he say to you, Sakura-chan?" He whispered, looking very concerned for her. She shook her head, not noticing he had spoken in Japanese.

"Nothing too important."

"If you say so…"

"I do."

Something then caught the eyes of both of the girls.

"Tomoyo! Did you-"

"SAKURA-CHAN, LOOK!"

Before either man could hold back the girls, Daidouji and Kinomoto were in the pet shop cuddling a puppy and kitten.

"She's so cute! I wish I could take it back home to Tomoeda. T-Tokyo!" Sakura held the kitten close to her chest as it purred and pawed at her shoulder.

"Well we couldn't since I want to take this cute wittle puppy home! They wouldn't get along." Tomoyo sat the puppy in her lap, stroking the back of its head.

"I'm sure they could, though. They're only babies so if they grow old together they might get along."

The boy swere confused while watching the two fuss over a dog and cat.

"Hey, Hiiragizawa. Do they live together? It's beginning to sound like it…"

"Of course they do, I guess. They're cousins and best friends. This is almost like childhood again…" Eriol lamented those times. And then…that other time.

--

"Sakura. I don't hate you. I wanted you to love Syaoran. You've grown so much stronger since I met you but-"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear it! Eriol. Why do you want to take away my most precious memories and…the things I love most? Syaoran and I…we love each other. He came back just for me!"

"He would never have met you if you hadn't let the cards loose. You could have lived a normal life. You would have never known you had magic. Syaoran would never have to endanger himself. Tomoyo-chan too! I would have still come to watch over you though. You are your father's daughter after all. But things aren't normal. When the time is right, you can remember again. You'll keep your magic, but you won't know about it. Tomoyo and Syaoran wont' remember this time either."

"I-I hate you…Eriol!" Sakura cried.

Eriol wiped her tears away, leaving his palm on her cheek. It hurt to hear those words, to see those tears. "You don't mean that, Sakura."

"Yes I do… I d-" her words were cut off as Eriol's lips closed onto her own. She looked at him and tried to pull away. Eriol let go of her and smiled a sad smile.

"Syaoran is the only one for you. And it seems I'm falling in love with Tomoyo. I-I'm sorry. For everything."

He snapped his finger and disappeared, leaving a confused Sakura who could no longer remember.

--

Sakura smiled, holding her new kitten. Tomoyo hissed playfully as she held her new puppy. Each had its own pet carrier but the new pet owners refused to put them in until it was needed. As this playfulness went on, Syaoran watched, smiling to himself. He hoped she would enjoy his gift.

Sakura walked over to him, holding the kitten's paw and making it paw gently at Syao as she giggled. Syao didn't mind though, so long as he was able to look upon Sakura's smiling face.

I hope this was a good chapter for you guys! My friend read Eriol's "memory" and said it was good. But that's all I had her read…heh…. Maybe one day she'll read the whole story. Well, I'll probably write more on my way to/from the university, and maybe while I'm not doing anything. Please R&R :D
