The visit
"Are you feeling better Sakura?" Tomoyo asked her full of concern. Sakura had been doing her best to help Tomoyo with household chores but she was failing miserably.
Just an hour ago she had tripped over her own paws on the stairs dropping two days of Eriol, Tomoyo and her own laundry on her self. Though she didn't use clothes the bed sheets and quilts were enough to make her sweat profusely on her way down.
It had surprised her to know that Eriol lived in the same cottage and for some reason whenever she wanted to ask questions about Syaoran she forgot what she was going to ask. It almost seemed as if she was influenced by a spell. (No prizes for guessing who placed the spell on her.)
She also began to notice Tomoyo's uncanny sense of knowing exactly when she would trip of do something clumsy. Each time just before anything occurred she would ask if Sakura needed to help and every time she denied her request her clumsiness kicked in and her face -most of the time- met the ground.
"Ah! Ohayo Eriol! (Good morning)" I watched Tomoyo blush as she saw Eriol come down the stairs in a white shirt and dark blue pants. He looked as if he took an early morning shower.
Tomoyo and Sakura had been doing the laundry outside. It would have been done the day before but the had to rewash the clothing after Sakura mishap. Tomoyo stared at Eriol and Eriol stared at Tomoyo. She glanced at Sakura and bowed apologetically.
"Gomen nasai (Sorry) Sakura! Eriol has some extra laundry in his room! I have to bring it down right away!" she hastily bolted upstairs leaving Sakura in her wake.
"Tedima! (I'm back) Sakura."
"Syaoran?" Sakura ran towards him. His brown hair and Chestnut eyes were a dead give away. She could also see from her observation that he still adored the color green.
'She still remembers me! This is going to be easier than I thought!' He grinned to himself.
"Sakura I could never forget about you!" His eyes sparkled with fake enthusiasm.
"Syaoran you've changed!" She was so happy to meet her childhood friend.
'She wouldn't be as happy if she found out that I was the wolf who bit her.'
Suddenly she hugged him caught in her own excitement (AN: Which is amazing since she technically has no hands.). The both blushed and Syaoran stumbled sending them flying back wards.
"Ah! Syaoran! I'm so sorry!" She stood up. Her thoughts hit her. She was a wolf he must be really shocked and confused right now.
"Sakura would you like to regain your human form?" He asked.
'That mean he must know that I'm really me inside! I'm so stupid obviously he knew! Else he would have panicked when he first caught a glimpse of her.
"Yes!" He fell back from her outburst.
"I-I-I mean it would be really nice if you could!" She blushed heavily.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow an hour after sunrise." He told her grinning like there was no tomorrow. Scratch that. He was grinning hoping that tomorrow would come as soon as possible. (Kero: That did not even make sense! Rynx: Shut up I'm try in' okay!)
"Can't wait" In truth it really wasn't. He exited the room so gracefully Sakura was awed. Who would not be? She just met one of her childhood friends and he was going to teach her to become a girl again!
Tomoyo came down the stairs minutes later and began helping her finish off the laundry. Sakura could not keep quiet about her meeting. Tomoyo just listened to her gab on about him and how wonderful he was.
During dinner she found that she could not stop smiling and when Eriol asked if she had seen Syaoran lately, boy did he realize his fatal mistake.
Her quilt seemed all that much warmer that night and she wondered where he would lead her. Also, how would he teach her? Her mind was whirring and made it impossible for her to sleep.
"Is he still the same Syaoran I knew way back when?" she began to reminisce.
"Sakura? Can I ask you a question?" Syaoran nudged a fallen pinecone. It was deep into autumn and the orange and yellow leaves made a pile in the ground.
"Yes! Ask away!" Sakura grinned never noticing the blush on her companions face.
"Would you marry me?" He stuttered at the end and Sakura grinned.
"What are you talking about silly I'm only five. I can't get married now!"
"Sakura! I really like you! An-and it doesn't have to be now! It could be later!" he spluttered trying his best to make her reconsider.
"Okay!" Sakura leaped into his arms not knowing what his words had really meant at that time.
Hidden from sight and Sakura's recollection were two figures clouded by darkness. They smiled to themselves with a plan in mind. They would make sure those two landed together. Only then may they have a chance at their own happiness…
'If he still felt that way now it would be the greatest miracle.' She sighed softly and drifted to deep slumber. Awaiting Syaoran's next appearance was the only thing on her mind.
