Chapter 17: The Person Behind Wolfdreamer
Recaping the last chapter...
Somewhere...
"I told her everything except who you really are."
"Well, that's okay. I don't want her to get hurt, that's why I did that."
"Hey, I'm sure her brother won't be mad. You have reasons why you did that."
"Maybe you're right. But let's just hope, she will be happy if she already met wolfdreamer."

a week later... December 1
It was Thursday morning and Sakura is walking to school. She was shivering in coldness due to the fact that it's already winter. But there are still no signs of snow.
She looked up to the sky and smiled. The sky is bright and blue. Today really is a nice day. She looked back to the way and started running. She's the cleaner today and needed to arrange and clean their homeroom.
She reached their school and went to her locker. She took her English and Algebra book for her classes in the morning period. She put those in her bag and closed her locker. She went to her homeroom and slide open the door.
"Ohayo!" she greeted. She looked around the room and saw no one. "Oh, maybe my partner haven't arrived." she said to herself.
She made her way to her seat and put her bag. She went to the blackboard and dusted the chalk eraser. After she dusted it, she put it back in the eraser container. She took a piece of chalk and went to the board.
"Today is... December 1st." she said to herself while she wrote down the date. "Done."
After 5 minutes of cleaning, someone opened the door making Sakura jumped. Sakura turned to see the one who entered.
"Ohayo," he greeted. He looked at Sakura and smiled. "Ohayo, Sakura."
"Ohayo, Eriol-kun." she greeted back. She turned back to her work and continued it.
Eriol went to Sakura and asked, "Is there anything I could do? I'm sorry if I'm late."
Sakura giggled and looked at Eriol, "I haven't sweep the floor. I left that for you." she said.
Eriol smiled and nodded. He took the broom and started sweeping the floor.

11:45 AM
The bell rang signaling that it's already lunch break. Students went out of their rooms and went to the cafeteria, While the others went to the place they want to eat.
Tomoyo entered Sakura 's room and approached her. "Hey, let's go eat. Chiharu and the others are waiting for us." she said.
Sakura nodded and stood up. She went beside Tomoyo and went out of the room. They went first to their lockers and put their books back. Then, they went to their favorite spot, the cherry blossom tree in the garden.
They saw Chiharu and Naoko waving at them. Sakura waved back and ran to them with Tomoyo behind her.
"Where's Rika?" Sakura asked as she sat on the blanket brought by Rika.
"She's in the library. She forgot to get her books." Naoko said, opening her lunch box.
"Really? I thought she's going to meet Terada-sensei." Tomoyo said while the girls laughed.
Rika approached them and smiled. "I heard that Tomoyo." she said as she giggled.
"Wait, your boyfriend's not going to join us Tomoyo? I haven't met or see him." Chiharu said as she put a chopstick-full of rice to her mouth.
"I don't know where he is. Maybe he's in his soccer practice or somewhere. He have a new schedule because of his part-time jobs." Tomoyo said as she ate her lunch.
"Wow, he's like Onii-chan, too many part-time jobs." Sakura told them.
"Jeez, maybe he's saving for your wedding." Rika said, winking at Tomoyo.
Tomoyo blinked twice and blushed. "I'm too young!" she exclaimed.
The girls laughed heartily. "Yes, he is!" they chorused.
After some minutes of chatting while eating, they finished eating their lunch. Now, they're spending some heart to heart and girl talks.
"Let's see... Why don't we ask first Rika?" Chiharu suggested. Rika looked at Chiharu and shook her head. "Why?" Rika shook her head again.
Sakura giggled and started. "How does it feel that you confess your true feelings for the person you like?"
The girls turned to Sakura. Rika smiled. "It feels nice. I felt that a heavy thing in my heart disappeared and I feel so light!" she replied.
"Really? Do you think I should do the same way?" Sakura said dreamily. Tomoyo smiled and started recording her.
"Do you love someone Sakura? Who is this lucky guy?" Naoko said, readying a notebook and a pen.
Sakura blushed then smirked evilly. She knew what these girls are planning to do. They did the same way to Rika and she knew she can't be fooled by these girls.
"He is..." She said, acting like she's imagining the guy. Chiharu readied her cellphone to dial someone's number. Rika just sat silently at her place, knowing what Chiharu and Naoko will do. Tomoyo giggled as she recorded the whole conversation.
"He is..." Sakura repeated, still acting. "His name is... SECRET!" she exclaimed.
Naoko and Chiharu groaned in defeat as they put their things in the blanket.
"I can't believe that you wouldn't tell his name!" Naoko said, sighing.
"Yeah, I can call Otou-san to investigate this guy. But if this guy is Li Syaoran, then I have nothing to worry about." Chiharu stated, putting her cellphone back in her pocket.
"Well, that's how smart Kinomoto Sakura is." Sakura said proudly. "Also, I remember what you did to Rika when she told us who's the lucky guy."
Rika told the girls what the guy looked like and Naoko jotted down all what Rika said while Chiharu called someone to investigate about the guy. The next day, Chiharu told them who the guy was and Naoko gave Rika a book, containing a short story.
"But who this mystery guy, Sakura. We're dying to know!" Rika said calmly.
"Just promise me girls not to tell anyone. Also, don't do the same way you did to Rika." Sakura said, glaring playfully at Chiahru and Naoko.
Tomoyo giggled and the others nodded. "This is one of the most important moment of Sakura! And I will call it Sakura and the mysterious guy!" Tomoyo said happily, stars dancing in her eyes.
Sakura sweat dropped animetedly and looked at the girls. "He is..."

Somewhere... again
A guy with navy blue hair and sapphire eyes entered an apartment. He shut the door and went to the couch. He sat on the couch and smiled.
"I thought you have school today, Eriol?" another guy asked calmly as he looked at his book.
Eriol chuckled. "Yes, I have. But I told the council that I'm not feeling good. I have something to tell you very important." he said as he stood up. He went to the kitchen and took something refreshing. He went back in the living room and sat on the couch.
"What is it?" asked the guy as he put the book on the table.
"Before I went here, I saw Sakura and her friends talking about someone, and I think it's about a guy." Eriol replied and drink his orange juice.
"Who? And what's with this guy?" asked again by the guy, wanting to know more.
Eriol placed the glass on the table and stretched his arms. "I heard her asked her friend, Rika, how it felt to confess to the one you love. I thought I can gain some information so I hid behind the nearest cherry blossom tree to hear them. Then, Rika replied that it feels very nice and so on. After she spoke, Sakura whispered something. I can't really hear it but one of her friends asked her if she already loves someone and who is this lucky guy. I saw Sakura blushed then smirked. She paused for a moment and started to speak. But the council is approaching the garden so I need to run."
The guy chuckled softly. "It's alright, Eriol. The Christmas Party in Tokyo U is drawing near and I need to prepare." he said.
"Do you need some help?" Eriol questioned him.
The guy smiled, "Sure! Our work will be finished faster if we work together."
Just then, the phone rang. A man in his mid 40's picked it up and answered it. He turned to the guy and smiled. "Master, your mother wants to talk to you." he said.
The guy nodded and stood up. He went to man old man and took the phone. "Yes, ma?"
"Son, the elders saw that in your dad's will, you need to be the leader by December 16 this year. They want you to return here with or without a bride."
"But, ma! I just returned here in Japan! Ma please, can you let me stay here for two weeks?"
"Why?"
"I have something important to do and I need to do it on December 16."
"Ok, but promise me that you will return here after two weeks. That's final." and the lady hung up.
The guy sighed and hung up. He went back to the couch and sat. "I wonder when this clan traditions will end."
Eriol laughed. "That's why your clan still stands, cousin. By obeying your traditions and beliefs." he said.
"Ok, ok. Let's stop talking about my clan. Let's get back to our business." the guy smiled.
"I don't know how you will meet her but I'm sure your mind is planning something." Eriol said as he rubbed his chin.
The guy smirked. "Yeah, whatever. I'm planning on meeting her in our booth. Remember our booth when I was in high school? The galaxy house?"
(i was thinking about the place where Sakura confesses at Yukito. i think it's in episode 66. i don't know what they called it.)
Eriol nodded. "Yeah, I remember that. I think I was here for a vacation that time also."
"Yeah, when you're here in Japan, you always say you're here for a vacation. What's wrong with England and you?" the guy asked, picking up his book again.
Eriol shook his head, "Nothing. I want to go to other place you know?"
"Whatever."

December 6
"Ohayo!" Sakura greeted as she sat on her chiar in the dining room.
"Ohayo, Sakura. Here's your breakfast." Fujitaka greeted back while he placed a plate with 3 pancakes in front of Sakura.
"Thanks, Otou-san." Sakura said as she sliced the pancake. "Wait, where's Onii-chan? I thought they have no class today?" she asked her father.
Fujitaka sat on his seat and placed a plate of pancakes in front of him. "He's in Syaoran's house. They're going to plan for their Christmas Party." he answered.
Sakura nodded and drank her jiuce. "Thanks for the breakfast." she said as she kissed her father. "I'm going now to school!" she said as she closed the front door.
