A/N: I am back and here with another E+T ^^! It may not be that good but I think I'll let you guys decide that.

Disclaimer:  I do not and unfortunately for me, never will own Card Captor Sakura. But I can still pretend when I am in my own little world that I do.

~*Familiar Strangers~*

    The gentle season of spring caresses the earth as the Sakura blossoms drift from the giant tree to the ground outside of the magician's living room window. One of the inhabitants began shouting with pure rapture in her cheery voice. Through the window you could see a young suave man about 23 years old raise and eye brow at his 30-year-old-chocolate-haired-cousin, Nakuru Akizuki. Pedestrians passing by would be impeded on their errands by this amusing sight through the window.

      In the depths of the room a navy blue cat-like creature silently controls his agitation for this screaming girl by hiding behind the covers of a thick book. The chocolate haired girl seemed to jump so high with joy that you would have though she had already put a hole through the ceiling. While jumping she shouts "ERIOL-SAMA CAN I REALLY GO WITH TOUYA-KUN AND YUKITO-SAN TO AMERICA?!"

The sapphire haired boy winced because of his cousin's ear-splitting voice. "Yes, yes Nakuru you can go on two conditions: One Spinel has to be there with you to keep you under control since I can't go and two…you have to calm down."

     After that remark Nakuru immediately stops jumping and hugs her master. Judging by Eriol's face, which was now the same color as his hair, Nakuru was hugging him a bit too hard.  She let go, not realizing she almost chocked her master, and sped up the stairs to pack for her trip to America. Eriol sighed and shook his head, before sitting back on the cozy couch. Then the cat-like creature placed his book down; with tiny aqua wings he began to flutter over to his master's shoulder.  With a look of distress on his face he asks, "Eriol-sama do I HAVE to go with that lunatic?"

      Eriol responds with something between a chuckle and a sighed. As much as he wants to save his cat-like friend he couldn't. He just had too many meetings with other businesses like his. "I am truly sorry Spinel but you know that I have some business meetings to attend to."

     Spinel, bowing his head in defeat, floated slowly and silently up stairs to pack for his trip to his doom while muttering, "I know that she'll kill me with as many sinful, sweet treats as she can find."

   It was amazing for them having been back in Tomoeda, Japan for only three days that everyone knew he was back. Well everyone except for Daidouji, Tomoyo. She had just gotten back from a business trip with her mother today, who was still working at her toy company, and she was never informed of the news. Thought about how Tomoyo would react to the fact that there were now officially neighbors and wondered what she looked like now.

      Yes Haiiragizawa, Eriol was back…but this time he was here to stay. It was hard to live in England it held so many memories with Kaho and the memories didn't help him. After he caught Kaho cheating on him the memories only hurt him more. So he decided to stay here with his old school friends.

    Suddenly a breeze of light wind passes by Eriol's arm and he finds Nakuru with a ton of luggage near the massive doors of his mansion.  "Eriol-sama I am ready to go to the airport now! COME ON! My flight leaves in thirty minutes!"

     Eriol's car keys gave a slight jingle, as they all went to the car and off to the airport.

*~At the airport ~*

"Man Yuki! Why did you have to invite Akizuki? WHY!?" Touya Kinomoto ran his fingers through his soft, brown hair in frustration as his companion Yukito Tuskisiro kept trying to keep Touya calm. Yukito's sweet voice assures his friend with the words, "I though it would be a nice thing to do. Besides She is our friend.Don't worry…she won't annoy you that much ok Touya? I promise…"  

     Before Touya could answer he could feel Nakuru's arms around his neck practically chocking him.

"TOUYA-KUN! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Everyone's sweat dropped as the last call for their plane began ringing through the bustling airport. Many people's crying goodbyes are heard in the airport as people got into the plane bound for America.

*~ At the Penguin Park~*

     A beautiful young woman, around the age of 22, began gently rocking back and forth on the swing. Her violet hair swaying with the wind made her look even more radiant. Her blue thigh-length coat clung to her perfectly curved body as she began pondering about her life. 'I hope Sakura will be happy celebrating her 5th anniversary. She'll be with her Syaoran in Hawaii celebrating her love. Sadly, I can't record my lovely cherry blossom on her anniversary I just don't want to be in the way. Oh well I'll just have to stay here and enjoy the lovely memories this park holds.'

The plumb haired goddess made her way to the plush emerald grass and eased herself down upon it. Her long glossy hair surrounds her as she succumbs to her urge to sleep. She took one last breath of fresh spring before drifting off to dream about her magical childhood.

*~12:40 AM at the Penguin Park~*

     Liquid amethyst eyes flutter open to see drops of silver liquid descending from the dark skies above. Drenched in rain water Tomoyo abruptly stood up and began to walk out of the park wondering what time it was, and realizing how wonderful the night air smelled.

*~ 12:45 AM near the Penguin Park entrance~*

     Eriol's meeting just ended and he began heading home in a slow and tired pace. Out of the corner of his tired eyes he caught site of a shadowy figure coming up from behind him but he was so exhausted that he paid the shadowy man no heed. Suddenly like a fired bullet the shadowed man's hand slipped into Eriol's pocket and snatched his wallet.

Splashing footsteps were heard as more rain fell to toward the ground. Eriol started to run and while he did so he yelled, "COME BACK HERE MUGGER!"  The mugger ran through a dark ally and took all of the wallets contains, except for the money, and threw them into the trash can. Eriol on the other hand had lost his grip with the slippery side walk and slipped. His head hit the concrete and he was knocked unconscious…in front of the Penguin Park's entrance.

A/N: So what do you think of it? Does it suck? Do tell me nothing but the truth…just don't be too harsh if it's a flame…please…Ja-ne minna-san and please review! Sorry that the verb tense is so wrongly used…Should I continue this story?
