Chapter Eight: The Plan
I flipped the pages.
Then shut the book tight.
"I can't concentrate!" I yelled.
The head of my 'annoying' father peeked in the room.
"What's the racket?" he asked, smiling.
How I want to rip that smiling lips of his face and throw it in a river somewhere.
"Oh nothing except for that ugly face hanging outside my door." I hissed at him.
My father merely laughed then went away but a few seconds after a new face appeared and it's not really better than the first one.
It's worse…
"What do YOU want?" I yelled at the four-eyed boy meters away from me.
"Well, I have nothing better to do. I'm just wondering if you can show me your 'fairy' friend." He said.
I snorted. "I thought you didn't believe in them?"
He flashed one of those mysterious smiles that I really hate. "Well… as I've told you earlier. I have nothing else better to do so I might as well meet the girl my beloved cousin is courting."
I sat there, silent. I don't know if I'll drag him out of the room or go outside and lead him to Sakura.
"Well?" Eriol asked, crossing his arms that smug smile still in his face. What is this guy up to?
I looked back at the book. I'm too irritated to read it now.
Maybe I should let Eriol meet Sakura and then he will tell the villagers that I'm not lying and then… they won't treat me as a whacko anymore.
And then I can ask them for help in making Tomoyo and Sakura be friends after long years.
Come on Syaoran… it will work.
"Okay…" I replied. I looked up and saw him smirking. I know something is going on in that head of his… I just don't know what.
Maybe if Sakura didn't show up, after all she is forbidden to communicate with humans, he will laugh at me and then humiliate me in front of the whole town.
But Sakura loves me. I know she won't let me be a laughingstock… I hope.
I took my coat and headed out.
"Will we take a car?" he asked.
"No. We go there by foot." I replied.
He went shrugged then went behind me.
"You lead the way Syaoran! I'm right here behind you!" he exclaimed.
I grumbled.
I walked slowly to the forest, with Eriol whistling happily behind me.
Finally I saw the big Cherry tree. The tree glowed beautifully.
Eriol stopped whistling.
Sakura was there in front of us, smiling.
I looked at Eriol who was wide-eyed.
I showed him, eh?
"Li… she's hot." He whispered.
"Sakura, meet my friend: Eriol." Sakura bowed at my cousin.
"Eriol, this is my beloved Sakura." Eriol walked closer to her and kissed her hand.
"A pleasure to meet such a fine lady." He muttered.
Sakura giggled. "And it's a pleasure to meet you monsieur." She replied.
"Now I have to go." After that, Sakura disappeared. I wonder why she is in such a hurry?
We went home and Eriol rambled on and on about how Sakura was so pretty.
"You believe me now?" I asked.
He nodded enthusiastically. "Of course man! If you could let me meet one of her sisters or even her cousins, it'll do!" he exclaimed.
I chuckled then went home.
Eriol
'That Sakura was really something. Maybe I should go visit her without Syaoran?' he thought.
Eriol's eyes gleamed behind his spectacles.
"Yeah… I'll do that." He whispered.
12:00 midnight
Eriol sneaked away from the inn without waking Meilin up.
He walked over to the forest, trying to remember the path his cousin had lead him to.
He reached the Sakura tree. Sakura was sound asleep at one of the branches.
"My, my." He whispered. "I didn't know that little fairies sleep." He whispered.
He held Sakura's wrist and binded them with some strong rope. He brought some oil with him. According to his research, fairies are weak against oil… so why not try it?
He poured some on Sakura's dress.
Eriol smiled at his success and carried Sakura to his car.
"I wonder how much the zoo will pay for a lovely young fairy?" he whispered at the sleeping Sakura.
