LAST CHAPTER:

The groups in the bush & the trees:

They didn't so much as even whisper when they saw Eriol stop dead in his tracks. Everybody stayed so still and quiet that the silence was deafening. The quietness was too loud to withstand. Even the leaves seemed to have stopped ruffling. There was no breeze. Utter quietness ensued as everyone's eyes focused on only one person, their breaths controlled. Hell, they where even afraid to breathe.

Eriol might be a very nice and friendly person, but still, he was the most powerful magician ever! And, all the people in the bushes and the trees knew that. Well, except for four.

A second later, they heard his deep voice speak out. And, what they heard almost made their heartbeat stop for a moment.

" I feel watched" Eriol said and his eyes narrowed dangerously.

Everyone in the clearing gulped nervously.

CHAPTER 6:

THE CLANDESTINE RENDEZVOUS: PART V

Eriol:

Why do I have this weird feeling…? He thought, glancing at his watch. Oh no! Its 12:12 already! It would be very indecent and ungentlemanly of me if I make Tomoyo wait long. Shit…if I hadn't been so busy on training my magic, than I wouldn't be so late. Hmmm… Spiniel seemed to be missing today. Where would he have gone? Hope he hasn't gone on a sweet hunt, or he would be at the risk of revealing himself…He walked through the entrance casually, still drowned in his thoughts. Oh, Tomoyo isn't here yet. Hmm…that is so unlike her, she is usually on time…He wondered, walking towards the fountain. But that's when he felt it. He stopped dead in his tracks and his eyes narrowed… 'I feel watched…' he stated.

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes in concentration…

Normal POV:

Everyone started to freak when Eriol closed his eyes in concentration. Well…everyone who knew about his powers… Chiharu and Takashi merely glanced at each other nervously.

They jumped slightly, when he burst out rather suddenly.

'I feel an aura…THERE!' He shouted, pointing at the bush where Shiefa and Yukito were hiding. Shiefa and Yukito exchanged a panicked and frightened look. But Eriol went on…

"And THERE!", he shouted again pointing towards Nakuru's bush…. " AND THERE! THERE! THERE! AND THERE!" He shouted pointing at the bushes and the trees where the group was hidden, in turns. They saw Eriol breathe heavily by the end of it with a wild look in his eyes.

" Oh God! I can't believe this….!" Said Eriol aloud looking absolutely panicky. Everyone looked at him wide eyed, trying to decide what he couldn't believe.

" My magic has gone awry!" He asked aloud, as though waiting for someone to pop out and tell him that his magic was absolutely alright and had not gone crazy whatsoever.

Everyone sweatdropped at this. The almighty Eriol Hiragizawa panicking and acting stupid! Ha ha it's got to be a joke.

" Eriol kun?" said a voice, snapping their attention to the entrance.

Eriol turned around and Tomoyo looking frantic.

" Tomoyo san, what's wrong" He asked, looking concerned.

" Oh Eriol kun," She gasped out, taking harsh breath as though she had run and come. " Come fast! We need to hide! It's Rika chan…!" she said, hurrying towards him.

" What abo…!He hey!" He breathed out, as he found himself half dragged by Tomoyo towards the very first bush on the left of the entrance.

A mere 4 feet from the bush, they were stopped by a surprised voice of a girl.

" Tomoyo chan! Eriol kun!"

" Oh no too late…" Tomoyo whispered…., as she tuned around to meet the bewildered brown eyes of her friend.

" What are you two doing here?" Rika asked, looking utterly confused…

" humm..we..er..", Eriol stuttered looking at Tomoyo for help. But before Tomoyo could even think up on saying anything, Rika let out a loud squeal… " Oh you two are together! AS IN WHAT SAKURA CHAN AND LI KUN ARE TOGETHER! Oh this is great!" She squealed, pulling an extremely red Tomoyo into a very tight hug.

Eriol sweatdropped at what was going on.

" Rika chan…let go of me already, cause we aren't togeth…AAHHHHHHHH!" The two girls screamed, as Tomoyo toppled over being unable to hold Rika's weight. They landed right next to the bush the first bush. ( Wow, they seem to be toppling over a lot. Incase u dun remember, they toppled over in the first chapter too.)

Rika groaned, rubbing her head. " Ar..gh Ge..o me" a muffled voice came out from behind her. Eriol ran towards them, concerned. " Oops Sorry Tomoyo," Rika said, getting off Tomoyo. " That's ok…" she mumbled, As Eriol helped her to her feet.

Rika smiled turning around, but the smile left her face immediately as she met the sight before her.

" Are you alri…" Eriol was cut off by a startled yelp from Rika. " Rika san, what's wron…huh!" He let out a gasp staring wide eyed at the couple who were currently grinning at them, obviously loving the shock on their face.

" Hi guys…" Chiharu said. " Chiharu, Takashi? What are you two doing here?" Tomoyo asked. ( The threesome haven't noticed Syaoran yet)

" Oh we jus cam…" Eriol cut her off, as he gasped and placed his index finger to his lips to silence them. He had felt a strong aura. Hiding his aura deep within him, he tiptoed towards the entrance. The girls watched him nervously, as he reached the entrance and peeped around the tree. He already knew who was coming…but he had to act asif he had seen the girl coming, or else it would raise a suspicion among the others if he had just told them that she was approaching out of the blue.

He hurried back to the girls. " It's Sakura san. She is coming here" H etold them in a hurried whisper.

" Oh no! we have to hide!" Tomoyo whispered frantically, looking around. " She won't let me live it down after how much I have tapped and teased her about Li kun!"

" But what is she…?" Rika was cut off by Tomoyo," no time for it! We need to hide come on!"

They ran around the bench next to Takashi and Chiharu's bush, towards the next bush.

" Li kun!" the girls breathed out. " Descendant?" Eriol asked, smirking with raised eyebrows. Syaoran rolled his eyes.

" Go away" He snapped at them. The girls jumped slightly and ran towards the next bush, while Eriol snickered and hurried behind them.

Touya growled, as the threesome reached his bush.

" Oh! Kinomoto san!" Tomoyo exclaimed, in a hushed whisper.

" AHHH! Get out of my bush!" He glowered at them. Before they could say anything else, they saw a frightened looking Sakura walk into the clearing, looking behind her as though expecting a devious ghost ready to posses her, standing behind her back.

Touya groaned, finding himself sandwiched between the three newcomers.

" Why? Why always my bush!" He wined. " Shut up" snapped the three others, as they watched Syaoran jump out from behind his bush and hurry towards the terrified looking Sakura.

Sakura:

She swallowed audibly, as she walked into the clearing. Looking out for ghosts, she clutched the cards in her pocket with sweaty hands. Hearing scuffling noises, she 'eeped' and jumped around to find Syaoran hurrying towards her. " Syao kun!" she breathed out in relief and threw her hands around his neck. He smiled at her before capturing her lips in a tantalizing kiss.

Group on the tree:

" AH! Isn't that sweet!" Noako sighed, as she and Meilin gazed down at the two.

" very.." Meilin agreed, as she taped them.

Group in the bush:

Chiharu and Takashi looked at each other and smiled, before he pulled her to him and crashed his lips against hers.

Nakuru looked at them with stars in her eyes. " OH! How kawaii! If only Touya kun was here!" She whispered, catching Yukito and Shiefa's attention, who snickered looking at her dreamy gaze.

Oh well, Touya was here alright. It was all the three others behind his bush could do to prevent him from jumping out and strangling Syaoran.

" Let me at him! The gaki! I will kill him!" He struggled, thrashing around like a wild animal, as Tomoyo, Eriol and Rika pushed him down with difficulty, trying to keep him there.

Ofcourse Syaoran and Sakura heard none of this, being so immersed in each other.

Syaoran withdrew from her and hurriedly pulled Sakura towards his bush, ignoring the loud yelps of Touya and the various kinds of sounds coming from a certain other couple who happened to be in the adjacent bush.

They gazed at each other lovingly before Syaoran pulled her to him once again and took her lips in his, plunging his tongue into her mouth, forgetting the surroundings completely.

All their attention snapped to the entrance…well, except the couples's ofcourse, when they heard giggling.

Shiefa groaned, looking as though someone had forced a live spider down her throat when she saw her sisters walk in through the entrance.

Normal POV:

" Oh Shiefa isn't here. I wonder where she is ….." Feimei said, looking disappointed.

" But I am sure I saw her go out of her room!" Farren said, frowning.

Shiefa groaned behind her bush.

" Oh well, since she is not here, we might as well get back to our room before mum comes to know." Futie said, walking towards the entrance.

" Oh yeah,…" Farren muttered, as she followed her sisters. But she froze when she heard Futie gasp.

" What! What is it!" she exclaimed when Futie hurried back towards them.

" No time to explain!" Futie answered hurriedly, as they approached the bush next to Touya's, which luckily for them was unoccupied.

Well, in the adjacent bush, Touya was struggling against Eriol, Tomoyo and Rika so much that they finally got pissed with him and threw him out towards the three Li girl's bush.

Forgetting, about the situation they were in, the three Li girls squealed in delight when they saw Touya land near their bush. " Touya kun! Kawaii!" They giggled hysterically.

Touya gave a very girlish squeak and hurriedly ran around their bush, towards the next bush, momentarily forgetting who occupied it.

" Eep! Touya Kun! My darling!" Nakuru exclaimed jumping over him. Touya cursed aloud pushing her off and scampered towards the bush he was sure that was Syaoran and Sakura's.

" Aah Gaki! Move away!" He said pulling them roughly apart. Syaoran and Sakura growled looking at him as though they were ready to rip him apart for interrupting.

From the adjacent bush they heard Eriol asking them to shut up.

" And why?" Syaoran growled. " Because, Yelan Li is coming. That's why your sisters are hiding. Since you were too involved in your snogging session, you didn't notice her aura." He replied as the others gaped at him, positively petrified.

" Aura? What aura?" Rika asked, but everyone ignored her. On the tree Noako wondered the same thing. But Meilin was too frightened to even answer.

" Er… just intuition that she is coming because we just saw the Li sisters hurrying back." Tomoyo said, nervously.

" Well, get out now!" Syaoran snapped at Touya, as he and Sakura pushed him out. ( lol poor Touya). Touya growled at them and jumped behind the very first bush, sitting in between Chiharu and Yamazaki who gave him a very annoyed look.

" No, no way am I gonna move out. I am gonna sit here and that's final!" Touya snapped at them crossing his arms stubbornly.

But everyone shut their mouths at once when they heard low shuffling noises. Footsteps to be precise. They stared at the entrance, waiting for the inevitable.

And then, she came in. Her walk was as imperious as ever. Slow and steadily, holding a rifle in her hand, whether to shoot them or for her own protection against thieves, they didn't know.

Meilin and Noako let out a whimper as they clutched on to the tree. The Li girls for the first time were not giggling. Sakura held on to Syaoran so tightly that he winced in pain.

Touya was wondering if he ever wanted a Christmas present again.

Yelan:

Yelan glanced at the watch, as she exited through the open front doors. Hmm..who ever it is, they have already left. This is the right time to catch them and give them a piece of my mind. She clutched the rifle tightly in her hands. She had brought it for precaution ofcourse. Oh it's 12:15…might as well get there soon…she made her way swiftly towards the entrance.

Tereda:

Tereda got up with a yelp from his bed, as he remembered about the message he had read that evening.

" Shit! How could I forget…oh it's 12:15 already! Oh no I have to get to the fountain fast!" H exclaimed, get out of bed and hurried towards the door.

Normal POV:

" Alright! Who ever it is, come out now!" Yelan shouted out. She smirked when no one came out.

Everyone gulped, shaking.

" You can't fool me. I know for sure that some one is hiding here giving a Christmas surprise to someone else. If you don't come out now, then you will get a nasty surprise when I catch you!" She said nastily.

Yelan was getting irritated by the second. Oh they had better come out now, or else…

" Alright! I have had enough of this. COME OUT THIS INSTANT!" She shouted out loud. Pointing the rifle skywards, she squeezed the trigger.

Everyone let out a yelp and jumped out of their hiding. Meilin and Noako screamed falling down, loosing their balance. They sat up groaning, as they tried to massage their butts, ignoring everyone's shocked expressions on them.

Kero and Suppi remained safely over the tree praying that no one would notice them.

Tereda:

Tereda, who had been running towards the entrance, fell face flat over the ground when he heard the gun shot.

In the clearing:

Everyone looked around with surprise in their eyes, as they noticed the presence of so many people who had been hiding with them all along.

Yelan gazed at the people around her in shock.

" Where so many of you giving surprises!" She asked, finally.

What she did next completely took them by surprise.
