A/N: Konnichiwa! I'm now on Chapter 7! I am sooo excited on what's bound to happen here in my story… You know… I've just realized… It's getting off my fantasy. This is not how I wished to happen to me when I get to see him. Maybe I just really wanted to see him… Oh well…

Forget about my fantasy! This is my story! So let's get it on!

Disclaimer (again…) I don't own CCS.

And by the way, Syaoran and Sakura decide to take a day off for this chapter for a while, so let's try to visit the others' lives.

Chapter 7: The three signs

Day six: Tuesday.

Sakura was on her bed, eyes propped open and gazing blankly at the ceiling. Her alarm clock rang a few moments ago, and she lazily shut it off, feeling strangely disastrous. She wasn't able to sleep very much last night, and her eyes were sore from crying.

Darn it… She thought, rolling over, her back on the ceiling, and slumping her face hard on the pillow. Why on earth am I crying anyway? Who am I to him? Were totally in different worlds, I shouldn't be like this. I knew it all along… and now I cant believe I'm sulking over it!

"Kaijuu!" It was Touya she heard, as he knocked (or should I say banged) on her door. "Wake up! You have to go to school!"

"Onii-chan… I don't think I can go today…" Sakura called softly, in her muffled voice. "I don't feel so good."

"Oi, Sakura, Daijobu desu ka? (Hey, Sakura, are you all right?)" There was concern and worry on her brother's tone as he knocked again.

"Hai! I think I just need a little rest!"

"All right… I'll phone Tomoyo-san and tell her you're skipping school today."

"Hai! Arigato!"

As soon as Touya left, Sakura sighed heavily. I don't know what's going on…

Tomoyo sighed heavily that dismissal time. The whole day was the most boring day she ever had. And right at the very moment, she has to go home alone since Meiling was fetched by the Li's limo and Sakura's absent.

"Daidouji-san?"

Tomoyo looked around, and found Eriol approaching her, with a smile on his face. She was familiar to her since Meiling introduced him to her a few days ago when they arranged a date for Sakura and Li. She smiled back.

"Hiirigazawa-kun."

"It seems like you're alone right now."

Tomoyo smiled once again. "Hai. I usually walk from here to our mansion. And it seems like my friends couldn't join me today."

Eriol stared at her, questioningly. "Why? Where are they?"

"Meiling-chan got home as soon as the bell rang." Tomoyo explained, as they continued to walk away from the school grounds. "And Sakura-chan is absent."

"She is?"

"Hai, she's sick. Her brother called just this morning to tell me Sakura-chan's skipping classes today."

"I see…" He paused, looking ahead. That's when he thought of an idea. "I think it's still a little early. Do you want to walk around?"

Tomoyo looked at him and smiled. "Sure."

A few moments later, they were at the Penguin park, sitting on the bench, with Tomoyo eating ice cream.

"You sure you don't want some?" Tomoyo asked for the nth time, looking at Eriol. Eriol smiled back and shook his head.

"I don't eat ice creams."

"But it's lovely." Tomoyo said back, beginning to lick her ice cream once more. "It's sweet and tasty."

"I'm just not very fond of it."

"What do you want to talk about anyway?"

Eriol smiled. "I just wanted to know something about your friend."

Tomoyo grinned at him. "What? Can't squeeze any 'Sakura Information' from Meiling?"

Eriol smiled at her slightly. "Sort of."

"Our friend's files are confidential." Tomoyo began, stopping abruptly, and then laughed. "Not so."

"What do you mean?"

"Her life's a little open book." She licked her ice cream once more before continuing. "But you see… You can please her with anything that comes from your heart. She's very appreciative. But if you really wanted to please her out of her wits, you can find something Li and give her."

"Something Li?" Eriol repeated, confused. Tomoyo laughed.

"Something Li… Anything with Li in it. Poster, magazine, picture… That's why Meiling-chan and I were very happy to let her meet Li. Were glad making her happy." She looked at him and smiled. "Or if you want something else, you can give her any of the three signs."

"Three signs?"

Tomoyo nodded. "The three favorite material things she ever wanted. A bear, a flower, and a chocolate." She paused, and laughed. "I can't tell you precisely what chocolate and flower it is. That's the only thing she doesn't want anybody to know."

"Why?"

"Because that's part of the three signs." Tomoyo laughed again.

"Why is it called Three signs?" Eriol asked again.

"It's a girl thing. Forget about that." Tomoyo frowned. "Why do you want to know something about her anyway?"

Eriol looked at her and grinned. "Orders from the master."

"From Li, you mean." She cleared, and Eriol nodded. "What for?"

"I dunno." Eriol shrugged, watching the sun set. "Dunno what's gotten into him." He looked at Tomoyo. "It's getting late."

"Yes. And I need to be home." Tomoyo said back, standing up. Eriol stood up as well.

"I'll walk you home."

"Hai. Arigato, Hiirigazawa-kun. (Yes. Thank you, Hiirigazawa.)" Tomoyo smiled at him.

"Mou, no more Hiirigazawa-kun. That's Eriol from now on. Nee, Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol said back. With that, Tomoyo smiled.

"Hai… Eriol-kun."

A/N: Waah! It's so like short… I'm so sorry! But that's what's written on my plot! I meant to make something longer, but really, that's all I've squeezed in my mind! But I still did it! Satisfied, eriol?

Eriol: Yeah… right… thanks anyway.

Shana: No prob! (grins broadly.)

Anyway… I really think Sakura's thinking so much of the things. But really, thinking gives you a lot of stress and it can make you sick! Anyway… What's wrong with Syaoran getting interested with a fan all of a sudden? The truth? I didnt know either! Anyway… I hope you like my fanfiction novel and please review it. Thank you!

Aja aja fighting!
