AN: A HUGE thank you to everyone who reviewed!!! I am soooooo sleepy. It's
one in the morning. Or it will be by the time I finish.
DISCLAIMER: Kinda obvious, isn't it? Of course I don't own CCS. And also, if I did, I wouldn't have the ending like that. It's so sad! If you don't know what I'm talking about, well, too bad.

Chapter Seven:
Tomoyo and Sakura were wearing their brand new uniforms. "Wow! This is so cool!" Tomoyo was practically yelling through the castle, as if afraid somebody didn't know. Sakura sweatdropped. Tomoyo was hopeless. She was so excited about being promoted to Eriol's personal maid that she would of even forgotten who Sakura was, if Sakura hadn't knocked her back into reality. She 'glared' [AN: we all know that Tomoyo wouldn't GLARE] at sakura.
Sakura just smiled back. Although she hasn't known Tomoyo for a long time, she understands enough to know that Tomoyo would never get that angry. It's actually strange how she knows, but it's almost like a sixth sense, how she could just understand some people. But some people just remain mysterious, like the king here in the castle.
They felt better about Xiaolang sneaking in, since, according to Eriol, he was already working there and was 'ordered' to do so. But that didn't help Xiaolang at all.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ In the Study, After the Girls Left ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Xiaolang was glaring at Eriol, who was sitting calmly. The look on his face was so calm, it made Xiaolang even more angry. If only looks could kill. . .
Still, the king said nothing, but a smile spread across his still-calm face. Eriol's guardians watched from a safe place, in case he wouldn't be able to calm himself down, and burst out of his bubble. They all knew he wouldn't hurt Eriol, but he was still very strong. Eriol's smile eventually turned into a smirk. All the while, the whole room was silent.
Finally, he couldn't help it. Xiaolang burst out: "How did you know all that, and why would you want to help keep my identification secret?"
Waiting a few moments to reply, Eriol said, "That is for me to know. Now, since I've already accepted you as my advisor, why don't you get to work?" Of course, both of them knew that 'advisor' also meant everything from servant to messenger, and everything in between. AND, of course, the job of an advisor and secretary.
Usually, Eriol would do everything for himself. But, just to see the manner of how the little wolf works, he decided to get some 'help'. Immediately, Eriol began piling all sorts of things on the table, explaining to Xiaolang what he would have to do. There was so much stuff that even Ruby Moon and Suppi's eyes almost fell out of their sockets. They almost felt sorry for Xiaolang. But then again, it's his own fault that he got into the position in the first place.
Xiaolang just scowled at the pile of scrolls in front of him.Who does Hiiragizawa think he is, giving me all this work to do? But his thoughts were short lived as they were interrupted by a voice calling out his name. He turned around and barked, "How many times do I have to tell you NOT to call me that? Someone might find out who I am!"
Of course, Eriol barely moved a muscle. The only thing that happened was that his usual smirk grew in amusement. "Well, XIAOLANG, if you don't want me to call you that, I suggest you change your name. Unless, of course, you want to leave," he stated matter-of-factly.
Xiaolang clenched his fists to keep from hitting Eriol. "Fine then. I WILL change my name," He said as he walked away.

BANG!!!!! "Ow. . ." "Hoe. . ."
A pair of emerald orbs looked up into amber ones. It took Sakura a few seconds to realize who it was. "Gomen, uh. . . um. ." She recognized the person, but forgot the name.
The boy looked at her, and said, impatiently, "The name's Li, Syaoran. That's Li to you."
Sakura took in the information, and stored it in her head. "I'm Kinomoto Sakura," she replied. Something was weird. She was pretty sure that the 'Syaoran' wasn't what the king had been calling him yesterday.
"I know," Syaoran snapped back, wanting Sakura to get out of his way. Sakura, being as dense as she is, didn't get the message. Syaoran put an impatient look on his face. He personally didn't like people that were too happy. To him, they were annoying. Sakura, despite how cold he was being to her, was smiling right back. Oh great, another one of those annoying people. Why do I have to have such bad luck? As if Hiiragizawa wasn't bad enough with that smirk on his face.
Tomoyo was passing by, when she noticed the two standing there. Naturally, she thought that they were having a conversation. "Kawaii!" she whispered to herself as she watched them from a distance. Well, far enough not to be heard. WRONG.
Syaoran had been trained in martial arts ever since he was young. That includes listening. The noises Tomoyo were making while breathing were as clear to him as - well, as anything that made a lot of noise. Casually, he turned around and yanked Tomoyo out of her hiding spot, and raised an eyebrow looking from Sakura to Tomoyo suspiciously. Tomoyo smiled the best smile that she could manage.
Syaoran sighed an exasperated sigh. Like I said. . . They're annoying.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ In Sakura and Tomoyo's New Room ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Sakura sweatdropped as Tomoyo continued to rant on and on. It was no use telling her to stop. She's tried that already. For some weird reason, Tomoyo is convinced that and Syaoran, or 'Li' made the perfect couple.
Suddenly, Kero flew up from his spot where he was sleeping. He blinked. "It's already morning? Then I probably didn't get enough sleep," he commented as he yawned. Sakura almost laughed at his comment.
"Uh. . . Kero? You've been sleeping for more than a day."
Kero blinked. "I have? And you'd think that, after sleeping for so many years, I'd--" Kero stopped in mid sentence, and his eyes widened as he looked around. "Clow?"
DISCLAIMER: Kinda obvious, isn't it? Of course I don't own CCS. And also, if I did, I wouldn't have the ending like that. It's so sad! If you don't know what I'm talking about, well, too bad.
