AN: Just to say.. I'm going to make Eriol teach Sakura how to change the
cards. Also, just as usual, Syaoran is going to try to get the cards. There
won't be much action in this chapter, I think. Unless I decide to all of a
sudden. Anywayz, enjoy this chapter!
Oh, and also, I've decided to add something to the plot. Read the summary!
I love all you reviewers!!!
DISCLAIMER: Well, how many times do I have to say this? I mean, I have enough bad luck already, and now I have to deal with this. *grumble. . . * Anyway, for the millionth time, I don't own CCS!

Chapter Nine:
Sakura yawned. Because of being used to living in the country, she got up every morning at dawn. It was also required by castle rules. She sat up and stretched, looking at the bed across the room. No one was there. That means Tomoyo was already up and about. Just as she prepared to get out of bed, Tomoyo burst into the room, frantically yelling. Sakura covered up her ears, and waited until Tomoyo calmed down.
"Yeah, Tomoyo, I know that it's our first official day in our new positions. Now will you please be quiet for a moment?" Sakura said, while getting up.
Tomoyo began talking again, excited, but not yelling like she just was. "His majesty, the king has asked us to go to his study. I think he wants to talk to you about the Clow Cards." These words caught Sakura's attention. She had almost forgotten about the Clow Cards, and what happened yesterday. Fast as lightning, Sakura dressed, and followed Tomoyo out the door.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Eriol's Study ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Sakura and Tomoyo arrived at the king's study. The two guards opened the door for them as they walked through. The girls bowed to the king, and walked over to Eriol. Sakura looked around. Somehow, the study suddenly seemed different. She felt someone looking at her, and looking up, saw Syaoran. Quickly, he looked away.
Sakura averted her eyes to Eriol with a questioning look. Eriol opened his mouth, but shut it again, not sure of what to say. Syaoran, standing behind him, snickered. Tomoyo found herself looking at Syaoran disapprovingly. It wasn't something that a person should be permitted to do to a king - especially the king that you are working for. Her eyes darted back to Eriol, wondering what he was going to say.
Finally, after a long pause, Eriol spoke: "Sakura, uh, I'm going to have send your father and brother away. It might be dangerous for them to stay here."
Sakura turned her eyes toward Eriol. Forgetting her manners, she said, "Wait, did you just say that I have a brother? And how would it be dangerous for hi - them? And where are you going to send them?"
Eriol almost chuckled at this. "Whoa, one question at a time. First off, you DO have a brother. His name is Kinomoto Touya. Second, it would be dangerous for them because someone in the Li family already knows that your father is hiding here. Where I am sending them, I cannot tell. I'm sorry, but I can't."
Sakura didn't really understand his last statement, but nodded. Then, Tomoyo nudged her. "Sakura, you need to remember your manners next time when talking to the king," she whispered.
Eriol heard her, and stated, "It's ok, Tomoyo, I consider you all my friends, so there's no need to be too polite." Tomoyo looked a little embarrassed, her cheeks glowing pink. To her, it felt as if her whole face was going to catch on fire. She glanced around, and seeing everybody laughing at her, lowered her head. This just made everyone laugh more.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Later, in the Courtyard ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Eriol and Kero slowly went over the incantation with Sakura for the 100000th time. Kero was starting to get annoyed. . . and hungry. Eriol just smirked at Kero. Sakura sweatdropped. There never seemed a time when Eriol didn't have a smirk on his face. But every time, the smirk seemed to fit the situation perfectly.
Slowly, Sakura began to say the incantation all over again. To everyone's surprise, her pendant turned into a staff. Kero was just happy that it was all over. "Ok, since Sakura learned the incantation, could we get a break here, and have something to eat now?" he whined. Everyone laughed as his stomach let out a big growl.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ At the Same Time, on the Castle Balcony ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Syaoran looked over towards the courtyard. Eriol and Kero were standing next to Sakura, apparently talking to her. Nearby, Tomoyo had a painting easel, and was busy moving her hand with the brush as quickly as she could. It seemed like she was painting the trio.
All of a sudden, a bright light surrounded the three. When the light slowly died down, Syaoran made out the three figures of Sakura, Hiiragizawa, and Keroberos still standing where they were. The only difference was that, in Sakura's hand, there was now a staff.
Syaoran began to curse at himself silently. Why didn't he figure out sooner that the girl was the destined mistress of the cards? For a second, it seemed as if 'that' Hiiragizawa looked towards the balcony. Syaoran blinked, and looked closely, but Everyone, including Tomoyo, were heading in for a break. He shook off the feeling, and walked back inside.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Eriol's POV ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
I walked towards the castle with Tomoyo, Sakura, and Kero. Deep inside of me, I can feel that something wasn't right. I looked up. Sure enough, there was Syaoran, looking down on us. I quickly returned my attention to those around me when our eyes met. He was planning something, I know it. Maybe I'll go check up on him.
As the other three walked inside, I teleported myself to the same balcony that Syaoran was standing on a second ago. I looked inside, but no one was there. I tried using magic, but Syaoran's aura was far away, definitely not inside the room. I looked around once more. Could I have been mistaken? Maybe I was just imagining Syaoran on the balcony. I cleared myself of the feeling, and teleported back down to where the others were, still confused. I rarely made any mistakes. . .
Was I making a one by allowing Xiaolang (a.k.a. Syaoran) stay?
Sooo. . . How was it?!?!? Tell me the truth. If you really want to flame me, go ahead. Oh, and by the way, if you really ARE going to flame me, give me some tips! ^.^ Anywayz, I hope you guys like this chapter. I probably won't be able to update very soon, but I'll try to find some time to work on the next chapter during break.
Also.. I have REALLY bad luck. Can you believe it? My school only gives two days off for Thanksgiving. TWO days!!!!! All my other friends from my old school get three. Oh well. That's all, except. . . PLEASE R&R!!! Thanks ahead of time to anyone who reviews!
