Hello loyal reveiwers, here's chapter five.

Chapter Five

"I'm glad that Sakura-san has been able to stay with Syaoran Li so long." Yukito smiled, lowering his sandwich, as Touya sank into his seat at the dinning room table.

"Shut up, I can't believe he's still around." He hissed, "That twerp has no right to be here!"

"Touya…you know how much Sakura-chan loves him." He said, before taking a bite out of the sandwich.

"I know she loves him, but I've been keeping watch over her all her life, I hate it that I had to give her up to a brat like him!" Touya snarled, opening canned coffee.

Yukito chuckled softly, that was Touya for you, always worried about the well being of his sister…or him, but that was alright, that was what he liked about him.

"You know, you should just be happy that Sakura-chan is happy." He, crumpled up the paper from the consumed sub, Touya fuming as he stared down at his own untouched sandwich lying on the table to turn room temperature. "I would, and I'm sure my other self wants the same thing."

"Yuki…" Touya lifted his gaze to his number one.

"I'm back!" Sakura's voice called, Touya snatching up his sub and biting into it as the junior entered the dinning room, thankfully alone and missing the brat. Her eyes widened, filled with light as she saw Yukito there and didn't hesitate to go to him just as he waved to her with the same warm smile he always had.

"Yukito!" she beamed and embraced the young man, since Touya moved out of the house, Sakura had been deprived of seeing her former love interest along with her second guardian but on the rare occasions she did, she always greeted him with a smile and a hug. He may not be her crush any longer, but she still loved him…at least like family.

"Good evening, Sakura-chan." He said, wrapping an arm around her to squeeze the teenager affectionately before she pulled away to sit down beside him, Touya looking away annoyed as the image of his own sister being kissed by Syaoran played through his mind, he frowned even more.

"So…where's the brat?" Touya asked, setting down his sub again. (Poor Yukito…his money's going to waste since he bought that for Touya. Why are they at Sakura's house again? I can't remember why I put them there…)

"His name is Syaoran-kun, Onii-chan!" she said, slapping her hands on the table, "Syao-ran-kun!"

"Looks like I struck a nerve…" he smirked, his mood improving by the fact he could still anger Sakura easily. "Guess I should back off so the monster won't eat me."

"Onii-chan!" she snapped, glaring at him across the table, "I'm not a monster!"

"Sakura-chan."

"H-Hai?" Sakura looked to Yukito.

"How are things going between you two?" he asked, distracting her so Touya could eat his sub at last.

"Oh…" she felt her cheeks burn, "W-We're doing really good! I-I even kissed Syaoran-kun the other night."

"I've heard about that." He smiled, "Things really seem to be going well between you two. I wish you the best in years to come."

"A-Arigato, Yukito-san."

"I wouldn't be heart broken if that brat turned up in a ditch…"

"Onii-chan!"

"I've invited Hiiragizawa-kun to see us today." Tomoyo smiled, savoring the excited expressions that came across her friends' faces as they exchanged looks.

"How long has it been since Hiiragizawa-kun was here?" Rika asked, twisting her wedding ring around on her finger a little, still tickled about her wedding.

"About seven years I think…" Syaoran figured, touching his bottom lip as he thought about it.

"Wow!" Yamazaki exclaimed, "You know it's said that if someone is gone fore seven years and then suddenly come back to where they left-"

"Enough, Yamazaki!" Chiharu snapped, slapping a hand over his mouth. "Ah, anyway, I'm sure everyone will be glad to see Hiiragizawa-san again."

"But why do you think he returned?" Naoko asked, her glasses flashing as she looked up from a small book she was occasionally looking at whenever she had the chance.

"Hiiragizawa-kun came because I asked him to." Tomoyo smiled, "I wrote him and requested that he returned for a visit so that he could help me prepare Sakura-chan and Li-kun for their big moment."

Sakura and Syaoran both turned red and averted their eyes from the curious glances turned their way.

"He said he would stay for about two weeks before returning to England once more."

"Aw, I was hoping he was back for good, kind of like Li-kun when he left. He came back in middle school after all." Yamazaki said, indicating the blushing teen just as the blush began to fade. "But at least he's visiting, right?"

"Yes, we should be glad about that much." Rika said, nodding.

"I'm sure he would be thrilled to hear about your wedding, Rika-chan." Sakura smiled, she beamed as her cheeks tinted pink, nodding again to Sakura.

"I don't want to just shove it into his face though."

"You have with everyone else…" Naoko giggled.

As Rika turned bright red, Tomoyo noticed something back by the entrance and smiled back at it over her shoulder. She excused herself from the clique of teenagers and went to the gates, pleased to see Eriol leaning against the wall beside the entranceway. He was a bit surprised that she noticed him but, then again, Daidouji had a knack for discovering things ahead of time without the use of magic.

"Ohayo." Tomoyo chimed, standing before him while holding her school bag behind her back.

"Ohayo, Daidouji-san." He greeted, nodding his head as he pushed away from the wall and stuck his hands into the pockets of his slacks.

"Everyone is waiting for you just inside." She said indicating the school, "Come on."

He nodded and walked with her around through the entrance, the English boy was instantly greeted by the handful of friends he managed to make and even a few old acquaintances that were once in his class. It was an interesting reunion with Yamazaki and the news of Rika's wedding was not a surprise but he still put up a good act in being amazed by it and congratulated her warmly and wished her luck in her future. Knowing all the while it would be a difficult but happy one for the sixteen-year-old.

"Hiiragizawa-kun, how much longer will you be in Tomoeda?" Naoko asked, slightly more infatuated with the foreigner now that he had grown into quite a handsome teenager.

"One more week." He said closing his eyes with another smile that masked his feeling of regret for making a deadline.

"One more week?" she frowned, Sakura and the others looked disappointed as well. "Well then, maybe you can tell me some more ghost stories like you used to." She added hopefully.

Sakura's heart sank upon hearing those words and she retreated under Syaoran's arm. Tomoyo smiled thoughtfully at her best friend, such a cute girl even at sixteen years of age. Sighing quietly, she began to head towards the school, leaving the group to continue their conversation with Eriol as he told them of England and any changes that have occurred since they last saw him. She hesitated in the doorway, looking back at them in time to spot Eriol as he looked right up at her. A chill ran down her spine as she thought there was a glimmer of sadness in his azure eyes.

No, that's not possible… she thought, shaking her head, Hiiragizawa-kun looks fine, perhaps I just worry too much.

But still…there was a bit of regret in her heart as she slipped inside, joining in the stream of students heading for classes that were liable to begin at any second. She became lost in a sea of black and blue uniforms, thoughts free to mix with the currents of conversations and giggles that echoed off of the walls. She always enjoyed wondering through halls like this when it was just an average day, a noisy hall provided cover for your verbal thoughts that you couldn't seem to grasp without speaking them.

Tomoyo ran her fingers along the wall, singing the words to one of her choir songs as she continued down the hall. The song lyrics came naturally to her, but the thoughts that suddenly seeped into her stream of consciousness and ran together with the words were not. Eriol's actions were not the same around her as they once were somehow…they were, oddly different. Tomoyo froze in mid-step.

"I-Iie…" she breathed, "H-Hiiragizawa-kun…are you-"
