Chapter 6

Syaoran, Sakura, Eriol, Renzo, Meilin, and Tomoyo were all piled into the back of a limo. Eriol was twiddling his thumbs nervously, and he seemed to be spaced out. Tomoyo was busy trying to draw him out of his trance.

Sakura shook her head pitifully at him, then turned to Syaoran next to her. "So you've met Eriol's parents?"

Syaoran ran his hand through his hair, "Yup." He was oddly silent. Sakura looked over at Renzo next to Syaoran. "You met them too, Renzo?"

He coughed and stuttered, "Don't remind me!"

Meilin was curious, "So what are they like?"

Syaoran and Renzo looked at each other and then at Eriol.

Syaoran sighed, "Well Eriol's family's a little eccentric…" he turned to Renzo again, "how would you describe it?"

"Insane!"

"Eccentric." He said more confidently.

Sakura giggled, "They can't be that bad."

Meilin turned to Eriol and Tomoyo. "Eriol?"

Eriol was still in his nervous trance. "Eriol?"

"ERIOL!"

"AH-WHO WHAT! OOOOOOWWWWWW!" He jumped three feet in the air, literally, hitting his head on the car's ceiling. Sakura giggled and Meilin rolled her eyes. "What're your parent's like?"

Eriol stopped rubbing his head and his face paled. "Well it's kind of complicated…" he sighed, "my dad is well…"

"Out there?" Syaoran offered sarcastically.

Renzo cut in, "PSYCOTIC!"

Eriol ignored him, "He's a little out there."

Renzo's shouted louder, "A LITTLE! THE GUY NEARLY KILLED ME!"

The girls looked at each other, "By accident?"

"NO!"

Syaoran smirked, "He's alright"

Renzo face was turning red and he snapped at Syaoran, "HE WAS ONLY NICE TO YOU BECAUSE HE LIKED YOU DAMNIT!"

The girls leaned in closer fascinated, "So what's he really like?"

Syaoran smirked, "He's like a drunk Martha Stewart with a huge gun." Meilin's jaw dropped. "No way!"

His smirk grew, "You'll see."

Sakura giggled and Tomoyo turned to Eriol, "What about your mom?"

Eriol's face paled again, "She's a little... overprotective

Renzo shrieked, "A LITTLE?"

Sakura giggled and snuggled against Syaoran who rolled his eyes, "Here we go again..."

----------------------

The limo pulled into a long driveway and the six friends crowded against the window, trying to glance at Eriol's home. They all gaped at the extraordinary house.

"Wow its huge!"

"It's amazing!"

"DAMN Eriol! You've been holdin' out!" The car finally pulled to a stop. Eriol was the last one to get out of the car.

BANG

BANG

Two gunshots pierced through the air. Eriol looked around frantically as he ducked down with Tomoyo. Syaoran jumped protectively in front of Sakura, and Renzo jumped behind Meilin for safety.

BANG

BANG

Eriol looked up at the porch where the man was shooting at them with a shotgun. "Dad, DAD! Stop! It's ME, ERIOL!"

The man paused and yelled back, "I KNOW!" He began shooting again.

"DAD! YOUR GOING TO ACTUALLY HIT US!"

"GOOD!"

"HIRO HIIRAGIZAWA! YOU STOP SHOOTING THAT ABSURD THING AT OUR SON NOW!"

An older female version of Eriol stood angry with her hands on her hips. He stopped firing, "But Laura…"

"NO BUTS! OUR SON AND HIS FRIENDS ARE NOT YOUR TARGET PRACTICE!" she turned around with a snap to Eriol, "and YOU!" She raised her finger accusingly at him, "YOU GO ANOTHER YEAR WITHOUT CALLING OR VISITING US AND NEXT TIME I WON'T STOP HIM!"

Eriol gulped, "Yes Mama," he whispered.

Laura turned around to the remaining five friends who stood there with a blank look on her face, "Now come on inside dears, and I'll fix you some tea."

"Should I wear this one or this one?" Tomoyo was holding up two dresses of equal beauty, deciding which one to wear. She looked to Sakura and Meilin for an answer to find…

Sakura and Meilin laying across the bed, playing cards. A vein popped out on Tomoyo's head. "ARE YOU TWO LISTENING?"

The two looked up exhausted, "Tom, you've been looking for an outfit for dinner for almost two hours!"

Sakura stood up and walked over to her and grabbed a dress, "Just wear this one!"

Tomoyo's eyes lit up, "It's perfect! Thanks you Sakura!" She hugged her tightly then jumped back with a thoughtful smile on her lips, "Now I'll I need to do is figure out what shoes to wear…" she turned back around to find an empty room. "Sakura! Meilin! Get back here!"
