A/N: Thank you for those who reviewed! Luv yah! I'm glad you liked the Cupid part. And since you want him to remain, than I'll be making him appear to fix his mess!
Summary: Kinomoto Sakura and Hiiragizawa Eriol are best of friends, seems perfect for each other. Syaoran Li is a teen sensation, engaged to a lovely singer named Tomoyo Daidouji. Hmmm… seems like Cupid got something mixed up… how will he fix this mess?
Chapter 1: Okay…I'll Fix It!
"My brother called me last night, Eriol," Sakura started as she looked up to her raven haired friend. They were on the library to do spend their unusual free time. Eriol loves reading, she need not to argue about it.
"Hm… What did he say?" Eriol replied, his eyes still on the book he was reading about Calligraphy.
Sakura looked at him childishly, her mouth filled with air that her cheeks are puffing out, as she pushed Eriol's book down.
Eriol took the hint. Sakura wants that whoever she is talking to, no matter how busy he/she is, is looking at her at the same time. It's one of her childish traits. "Okay… What did he say?" he asked again as he drops the book on the table.
Sakura flashed a smile. "He asked me if we could visit Japan for Christmas," she told him excitedly.
It was the 3rd week of November and the end of the 1st Semester will be in the next few days. They could choose not to go with the 2nd Sem to have a break for Christmas and for some rest as well. At least that's what Sakura was hoping they'll do.
"Could we?" she asked Eriol. Technically, they've been inseparable since they were in high school. Where one goes, the other one follows, it's how they ended up in the same college as well.
"Do you want to?" Eriol answered with another question.
"I really miss my brother," she started. "Even though he's such a pain when around… hey, he's still my brother," she added as if she had no other choice.
"Then… we'll go," Eriol simply decided, knowing what she meant. Despite the long speech, all she wanted to say was… yes.
"REALLY?" Sakura couldn't help but exclaimed in a loud voice, causing her to be hushed by the cranky old librarian.
"Shhh! You're in a library!" she warned Sakura in her eerie voice.
Sakura giggled as she clasps her hand over her mouth. "You really mean it?" she asked in a whisper.
Eriol simply giggled in respond as he resumes his reading.

"Who was it?" Syaoran asked his fiancé. They were walking by the park, all geared with sunglasses and caps for them not to be recognized, since they had the entire week for themselves. It was then that Tomoyo's cell phone rang and a sweet moment was broken for her to answer it.
"My manager," she answered tiredly as she flips her phone close.
Syaoran sighed. He knew why the woman called. "Another project?" he asked her gloomily.
"Yep," Tomoyo answered as they resumes their walking.
"I thought we could spend the the next week together?" he tried to argue with her, but he knows it wouldn't work. Tomoyo is dedicated to whatever project she was given.
"We will," Tomoyo replied, finally smiling.
Syaoran was at a lost. 'We will?' he asked himself as he cocks an eyebrow. "Uh… How?" he questioned her reply.
Tomoyo's smile grew wider. "The project is about a tour in Japan," she explained enthusiastically.
"S-so?" Syaoran wondered out.
"So… the company wants us to tour together," she answered. She and Syaoran work for the same world wide company, Kryptic Dane, it was one of the contributing agents how they met.
Syaoran finally smiled. "It's a good thing they did," he responded as they enter a local Starbucks.
It was Tomoyo's turn to raise an eyebrow. "Why?" she asked.
"Because they'll be forced to grant me a long leave since I will be coming with you anyway," he explained his remark.
Tomoyo chuckled. She was happy her fiancée was a sweet one. It was actually one of the things she loved about him.

"Don't answer me with an UH-OH Cupid," Zeus warned him.
Cupid's sweat dropped. "Then… SORRY do?" he replied, trying his best to sweet talk his way out of it.
Zeus glared.
"Okay…" he took the raging hint. "But why are you SO mad about it? It's not like I ruined the whole cosmic balance!" he defended himself.
"You're about to if you don't fix this mess," as a silver haired beautiful goddess appear with a puff of blue smoke, Artemis.
"Oh great… now what!" Cupid moaned to himself. "And how would it affect the cosmic balance may I ask?" he decided to say outloud.
"Because…" she started in her modest yet cold voice. "Humans are connected in even the SIMPLEST way. Messing up with one's life string could alter all the others connected to it… What more FOUR," she explained with an irritated expression.
"What? How?" Cupid asked again. "And how are YOU involved?" he shouted hysterically, losing the coolness in his appearance.
"I'm the goddess of the Moon… and I dominion over the heavenly bodies which guides the human's fate… why else do you think I would get caught up with your recklessness?" she answered in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone of voice.
"Fine! I'll fix it!" Cupid gave in.

"When will we be flying to Japan?" Eriol asked Sakura as he sips his hot coffee.
It was the day after after their last exam for the 1st Semester and Sakura and Eriol decided to stay home at their apartment because the temperature was beginning to drop since Christmas was drawing near. The news even announced that there could even be snow that year.
"Maybe on the 4th of December," Sakura replied as she warms her hands with the cup of his hot chocolate and tucks her feet under her warm knitted blanket that Eriol had given her on their first Christmas abroad.
"I can't wait to see our old friends again…" Eriol sighed at the thought. They've been away for almost 5 years, flying abroad for studies on their second year of high school and ever since haven't flown back since Sakura's family, who are in Japan, are the ones who visits them for Christmas. Of course he misses their friends.
"I wonder if Yamazaki and Chiharu are together now," Sakura wondered as she excitedly think of her home town.
"Oh! And is Naoko still interested in those ghost thing?" Eriol added something to anticipate for.
"I can't wait to go back!" Sakura finally exclaimed as her face becomes dreamy with excitement.
"Yup… I can't wait," Eriol agreed.
00 – 00 – 00 – 00 – 00 – 00 – 00
"But then I wake up, and I realize that you're, not here with me… It hurts so much I gotta have you back baby…" Tomoyo sang a line from the new song she was learning for the tour on her dressing room.
"You need not to worry about that because I'll always be around," a sweet voice came from behind her, startling her from her seat.
"You startled me!" she eclaimed as Syaoran kisses her on the cheek.
"Sorry about that," Syoaran replied as he sits beside her. "What IS that song anyway?" he asked as he takes a peek on what Tomoyo was holding.
"The lyrics of one of the new songs I'll be singing for our tour," Tomoyo handed the paper to him. "I'm studying it for preparation," she explained.
"Hm…" Syaoran eyed the lyrics. "If we're going on tour together, you better skip on this one," he remarked as he returns the paper to her.
"And why is that?" Tomoyo flirted with her fiancée.
"Because," he started as he pulls Tomoyo into a hug. "Like I said… I'll ALWAYS be around," he kissed her on the forehead.
"Now don't go making promises you can't keep… it may just break my heart," she warned him playfully as she returns the hug.
"What? You don't believe me now?" Syaoran flirted back as he pushes her a little further to be able to look into her amethyst eyes.
"Let's just say… I don't believe that promises are MADE to be broken," she replied instead of a yes or a no.
Syaoran grinned. "You're wise…" he commented. "That's just one of many things that I love aboout you!" he exclaimed as he completely lets go.
"Of course I am!" Tomoyo answered confidently. "By the way…" she suddenly changed the subject. "When do want to leave for Japan?" she asked him as she leans her back on his chest and her head on his broad shoulder.
"How about on the 5th of December? It's not too far from here anyway," he replied as he puts his arm on her shoulder.
"Okay then… we'll leave on the fifth!" Tomoyo simply exclaimed.
00 – 00 – 00 – 00 – 00 – 00 – 00
"Tell me again…" Zeus' voice roared. "HOW did it ended up like this?" he asked, confusion clearly evident in his voice.
"It's like this…" Cupid started. 'For the hundredth time,' he insulted in thought. "It was exactly 5 years ago…
FlashbackI was doing my daily routine of… uh… ARROWING lovers on my list when I came across with the names Sakura Kinomoto, Eriol Hiiragizawa, Tomoyo Daidouji, and Li Syaoran on my list.
I think they were still young teenagers back then… and so, I decided to get the job done early.
Luckily, they were best of friends, so I didn't have any problem…
"My parents decided I fly to England for my studies next year…" 14 year old Eriol Hiiragizawa exclaimed as he and his three friends walk towards home on the quiet street of Tomoeda.
"My parents told me I'll be returning home to Hong Kong for next year…" 14 year old Li Syaoran announced gloomily.
"Hey Tomoyo… isn't it that what our parents are deciding about is whether we'll go to England or Hong Kong?" 14 year old Sakura Kinomoto asked her friend.
"Yup… at least we'll still be together by two's," 14 year old Tomoyo Daidouji remarked optmistically.
They all sighed.
I didn't want to disturb them but I have to do my job right? So I shot four arrows with one shot to save some time… It was then that the skrew-up begun…
Arrows are supposed to be shot in pairs… to entwine two hearts. But since I fired four at the same time… the pairings got mixed up. That Tomoyo girl got Sakura's and vice versa. Also, because of the arrows' influence, Sakura's father decided she'd study in England with Eriol and Tomoyo's mom decided she'd study in Hong Kong with Syaoran…
I realized my mistake… yes… I did… but since I thought I wouldn't be much of a problem, I simply erased their memories of each other, hoping that the arrows would lose its effect… which unfortunately… DID NOT. They still found each other and to top it off, my powers didn't seem to affect Sakura and Eriol's memory of each other… just about the other two…
End of Flashback
"Fix this or you'll be DEAD…" Zeus threatened him after hearing his ridiculous reason.
"N-No need for that…" Cupid's sweat dropped. "I'll fix it, I promise!"
