Story

Nakuru ran towards Touya and jumped on him, her arms flinging around his neck before Touya could even react.

"TOUYA! You missed me neh!'' She cried, snuggling against his chest happily.

Touya became dotted-eyed as he swallowed his situation. Narrowing them into slits, he trailed them to the side locking them firmly with two slightly too innocent emerald ones.

"You told her where I was…didn't you..?" Touya growled.

Sakura looked down and toyed with her fingers nervously. "…Uno…she dragged me around school until she found you...I didn't even had time to say anything…'' she mumbled, sheepishly.

Biting her lip she sneaked a peak at Touya, who deciding to deal with his sister later, was extremely busy trying to get Nakuru off of him. Taking up the opportunity, Sakura took a deep breath. 'Its now or never'

"And ano…Syaoran-kun will stay for diner tonight.'' She said more confidently than she felt.

Touya froze, 'The gaki was WHAT!' his eyes twitched as he spotted him behind his sister. A stale bitter taste seeped across his taste buds as he observed how close he was standing, 'Too close'. Forgetting completely about a hyper Nakuru still clinging to his neck, he narrowed his eyes at Syaoran, sending him silent warning to stay away from his sister. But like always, Syaoran glared back, not moving a step, causing Touya to seethe more. As the two continued their match, trying to out done the other with the fiercest glare they could master, Sakura turned to Nakuru. "Would you like to have dinner with us as well, Nakuru-Chan?''

Touya stopped glaring as soon as he heard her words, and shot Sakura a disbelieving look. Nakuru suddenly left Touya and approached Sakura grinning mischievously.

"I think you'll have important enough matters to take care of for tonight, so maybe a next time!" she answered before pinching Touya's cheek cheerfully. She then turned to all and said her farewell before starting to run in the distance to a secluded area, smirking to herself.

Sakura looked at the direction where she ran to, sweat dropping. "That was…"

"…Weird." Syaoran finished, not trusting one bit the awkward reaction Nakuru just had.

"Well...that was close…" Touya said, sighing in relief. "Oi kaiju! The Gaki truly has a bad influence on you! You almost turned my dinner upside down in a mare minute!" He added looking at her, walking his way home.

Hearing Touya's comment, Sakura was fuming with anger, muttering incoherent words that made even Syaoran gawk. She strode quickly up to Touya and stomped on his foot hard. "Don't call me kaiju! And Syaoran is our guest, so be nice!" she said still fuming a bit, when she felt a hand on hers. She turned a bit to see Syaoran smiling at her that special smile that could melt her heart in a mere second, "Relax."

She smiled back forgetting all about her small fight with her brother and put her head on his shoulder. Seeing that, Touya's glare returned to Syaoran, but said nothing, and continued on his way


"Ohohohohohoho! I'll call this one, Sakura, saved from her brother's fight!" A dark figure squealed, hidden in a bush.

"Hmm…indeed very catchy…but you shouldn't say it that loud, dear…" Another figure whispered, more calm than the first.

"But Eriol-kun! They are so adorable and kawaii and-" Tomoyo stopped as a third voice interrupted her from behind.

" Master...I have found the part you were searching for...we only need one last thing to make it work..."

Tomoyo and Eriol turned around to see s figure with glinting blue eyes hidden, almost invisible, behind a branch.

Eriol nodded at the small figure resembling a stuffed animal, his face a void of emotion, "Have you been able to decode the last part to know what is that final thing..?"

Spinel shook his head, aggravated "There's a part missing that would reveal what is that last-" eyeing Tomoyo, he hesitated for a split second, "that last thing, master..."

"I was afraid that this would happen..." Eriol answered, his voice tight and strained as he looked away thoughtfully.

Tomoyo had observed the scene from this point and knew that all this meant nothing good for the group. She looked in the direction that Eriol did, to realize what he was observing. Sakura and Syaoran, both holding hands. She looked back at Eriol worriedly.

He smiled sadly in response.

"Thank you Spinel, could you please make a list of what you did translate on a parchment, I will need to send it to an old friend very soon..." He added after his silent exchange with Tomoyo.

"Yes master..." Spinel answered before flying away.

Tomoyo knew that even if she asked, Eriol wouldn't give her a direct response. He seemed to know a lot more than he was willing to reveal since he came back. And Tomoyo was finding it hard and harder to keep all the questions to herself.

Suddenly, as Tomoyo thought of something to say, Eriol stood up and offered her a hand. " If we don't hurry, we might miss some moments of my cute little descendant and his cherry blossom…What do you think..?" he asked her, eyes sparkling with malice.

She smiled and took his hand while standing up.

'At least Eriol would tell her sooner or later.'
