Chapter 10:
Syaoran and Eriol were surprised to find both girls awake before them and in the kitchen eating.
"Good morning" Eriol greeted cheerfully. Sakura flinched, and Tomoyo eyed them warily. Syaoran noticed that they had seats next to the door; it that was unlocked. He wondered why.
"Isn't today such a beautiful day?" Eriol asked "exactly the sort of day that you would want to have fun with someone."
Both girls flinched, and looked as if they wanted to bolt.
"Eriol, quiet" he hissed "you're scaring them."
"Why are you up so early?" Eriol asked cheerfully.
"To practice" Tomoyo stuttered.
"Really, what?" Eriol asked, interested.
The girls remained silent.
"Syaoran here gets up early every morning to practice martial arts. Of course, I have to spar with him" Eriol said grumpily.
A small smile flew across Tomoyo's face.
"Where's the gym?" Sakura asked quietly. She spoke so softly that Syaoran and Eriol almost missed her question.
"It's next to the pool at the end of the campus" Syaoran said gently.
Sakura shot him a strange look.
"Isn't Li the name of that big company Li Corporations?" Tomoyo asked suddenly.
"Yes" Syaoran nodded "my mother owns it."
"Mrs. Yelan Li, yes, we've…" Tomoyo shot Sakura a sharp look, who then amended "heard about her."
Syaoran wondered what she had originally planned to say.
