Chapter4- Hide and don't seek

Sakura: "Oh no…the Lazin Board!"

Tomoyo: "Sakura-chan you had better do something. Fast…"

Sakura: Excited "I know!"

Sakura ran into an ally. Suddenly a magic circle appeared below as she chanted the spell to release her star wand, then said, "Mirror copy my aura but project a mixture of Tomoyo and Mailyn, Mirror."

Sakura: "Shield, hide my aura from Syaoran-kun, Shield."

Suddenly a shield appeared around Sakura and a girl appeared in front of her. This girl had Mailyn's eyes and childhood hairstyle but had Tomoyo's hair color and skin tone.

Sakura: "Mirror, can you please keep Syaoran-kun away from me today?"

Mirror: "Sakura, why? I thought you came to see him?

Sakura: "I did. But I don't want him to see me until Christmas Eve. Please?

Mirror: "Ok, I had better go so he does not find you."

Sakura: "Thank you."

Zander: "So where is it coming from Syaoran?"

Syaoran: "Over there."

Syaoran and Zander ran pasted the dress shop. But when they got to the ally that Sakura was hiding in Syaoran thought he heard someone say his name then seen something move. He was about to investigate when he heard Zander call him; he nudged it off and ran after him.

When Syaoran left she said, "Syaoran-kun" in nothing but a whisper. SheSighed still in the shield card Sakura went back to shopping with her friends.

Sakura had all her shopping done except one. Syaoran's gift.

Mailyn: "Looking for the perfect gift huh?"

Sakura: "Hoe, oh yeah." Blushing

Tomoyo: "I have one gift left too. Do you want to try that book store?"

Sakura: "Sure."

Just when the girls went into the store a book caught Sakura's eye. She went over to it, took it from the shelf. It read The Sun and the Moon By Clow Reed. Just than Sakura had a flash back of the last time Syaoran had visited.

FLASHBACK

Sakura: "Syaoran-kun what do you want most?"

"I already have what I want most." He raped his arms around Sakura's waste and kissed her gently on the cheek.

Sakura: "No silly item… Item you want most."

Syaoran: "Item…H-m-m-m…. It would have to be a book by Clow Reed."

FLASHBACK ENDS

"Look you guys." Sakura said as she ran over to her friends.

Sakura: "A book by Clow Reed. Syaoran-kun told me this is an item he has always wanted."

Mailyn: "That's cool."

Tomoyo: "That is awesome but let's go pay for this so we can go get wrapping paper and go back to the Hotel.

Mailyn & Sakura: "Yeah."

The girlswere quietly talking in the hallway on the way to T+S's room, when they got to the rooms door, Sakura opened the door and…

Syaoran: "Mother we're home, we ate, and we are going up-stairs wrap our gifts."

Y. Li: "OK Xiaolan."

DING DONG the door rang so Wei answered it to find a boy about Syaoran's age. He had blue hair, sapphire eyes and large round eyeglasses.

? Person: "Hello Wei, is Syaoran here?"

Kero: "SAKKKUUURRRAA! WHERE IS MY TREEAAT!"

"He… he… here K... Ke…Kero-chan." Sakura said as she took to big lollypops and a box of pastry and handed it up to the guardian that was in her face.

Kero: "Th-a-a-a-n-n-n-k- you-u-u-u!"

Mailyn: "Why do you keep that silly stuffed animal around anyway?"

While Kero & Mailyn are fighting…

Sakura: "Is that present for Eli, Tomoyo?"

Tomoyo: "Yeah."

Mailyn: in the middle of nuggying Kero and pulling his tail "Eli? Opps! Can you excuse me for a minute?

Mailyn went outside the room; got her cell phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later Eli Moon answered his cell phone.

Eli: "Hello, Eli Moon speaking."

Mailyn: "Moon-kun you can not stay in the Emporor Cloud Hotel, Tomoyo and Sakura are staying here. By the way where are you at?"

Eli: "You will know soon enough, call me Eli and your welcome was not the best might I add Mailyn."

Mailyn: "Hello… Goodbye."

Wei: "Master Syaoran someone is still here for you."

Syaoran: "For the last time, I am wrapping Sakura-chan's gift. I will be down in a moment."

Zander: "Let me guess Sakura is the Card Mistress who just happens to be your girlfriend. Am I correct?"

Syaoran's head jolted up at the remark and he blushed beet red.

Syaoran: "I... I... I…Have to um-m-m-… go see who is down stairs." Still beet red

Zander: "I thought so. Sigh Wait up I am coming to."

Syaoran: "AHHHHHHHHHH!"

Zander who is now running down the stairs "Syaoran what's wrong? I… heard you yell."

Eli: "Glad to see me cute descendent? Why do you keep starring at me like that with those pointy glaring eyes, and why are you so cold around me? I'm hurt, I thought you would be happier to see me."

Zander: "Syaoran, who is he?"

Syaoran, is far from calm now and is yelling at the top of his lungs: " First off, Don't call me cute descendent. Second, and more important, you tried to kill my girlfriend and her best friend, and then when you could not do that you got me to do it! It did not work but still. And you wonder why I am cold around you? No am not happy to see you.Much calmer And yes I do have to stare at you like this. Glares at him again while Zander and Eli fall over Anime style

Not yelling, much calmer and quieter Syaoran said, "He is Eli Moon, the half reincarnation of Clow Reed, the one who tried to hurt Sakura-chan and her best friend, then tried to get me to do it. He is also Sakura-chan's best friends' boy friend. Under his breath sadly."

Eli: "Now Li-san don't be so hateful."

Syaoran: Really snooty and disgusted. "Don't be so hateful. mean Oh shut up!"

Mailyn, very cheerfully walks through the front door.

Mailyn: "I am back. Huh, Eli? What are you doing here? Um-m-m- can I see you in the next room for a moment... please…? NOW!

Zander: Now gloating. "I was right. I was right. I was right."

Syaoran who is very confused: "Huh, right? Right about what?"

Zander: "Sakura is your girl friend."

Syaoran fell over anime style while still on the stairs. "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, EEEEEEOOOOWWWWWW!" Syaoran landed at the foot of the stairs rubbing his head. Zander ran down the stairs, saw Syaoran is unhurt and started laughing hysterically at Syaoran because he was stupid enough to play on the stairs. (AN: Zander didn't fall down the stairs because A: I didn't want him to, it was funnier with Syaoran, and B: He was behind Syaoran. :D)

Mailyn came out of the kitchen dragging Eli by the collar behind her and said, "I'm dropping Moon-kun at a hotel and then going home."

Syaoran: "Mailyn come back here! NOW!"

Zander held back Syaoran with all his strength so Syaoran did not go kill Eli for reasons unknown.

10:15pm……

Sakura: "Oh Syaoran-kun, I am so wanting to see you… my Little Wolf."

Syaoran: "Oh Sakura-chan, I am so sorry, I have failed you. I promised you I would never break a promise, and I have done so. Please… forgive me, ... Ying-Fa."

As each one spoke a tear trickled down each face and landed on a pillow, then each fell asleep.

2 Days Later (Tuesday) ….

Syaoran: "Hello, would one Sakura Kinomoto be staying here?"

Desk Clerk: "Can you wait one moment please."

The desk clerk looked in a book then went to the phone and called room S2

"Hello miss there is a man here wishing to see Miss Kinomoto."

Tomoyo: "Who is it?"

"What would your name be Sir?"

Syaoran: "Nani? Syaoran Li."

"Syaoran Li Miss."

Tomoyo in a panicky voice said "No she not here and neither am I."

"Sorry she does not reside here."

Syaoran: "Dang, thank you for your time."

Zander who was waiting outside took one look at Syaoran's face and knew Sakura was not there but asked anyway. "Not there Syaoran?"

Syaoran: "No."

"Maybe she just is not here and it was that girl we ran into yesterday." Zander said in a deep semi-understanding voice.

"Maybe not but I have one more trick up my sleeve." Syaoran took out his Lazin board and started chanting; "Mystic board with magic spin, send forth the magical powers with in. Force know my plight, Release the light!" When he finished chanting a green light flew into the Hotel.

Suddenly Sakura felt something again. When she looked down she had seen the light from the Lazin board.

Sakura: "Key of the stars with powers burning bright surrender the staff and shine your light. Release." ("Sorry for the American spells,") "Mirror, show your most resent reflection and copy my aura, Mirror. "Illusion hide every one here except Mirror, Illusion." "Shield, hide Kero and my aura, Shield."

All the sudden someone knocked on the door, with the others hidden the Mirror Card went over and opened the door. "Oh hello, you're the boys from yesterday aren't you?"

Syaoran: "Yes. Umm I have a question."

Mirror Card: "Yes?"

Syaoran: "May I ask what is your name?"

Mirror Card: "Name umm Mira Ying. Why?

Syaoran: "Sorry we interrupted you we thought someone else was here. Good bye."

Sakura: "Mirror, Illusion return. Thank you both."

Kero: Still flying around in a pink (I say its the color for the star cards) bubble "I think he is catching on to you Sakura-chan."

Sakura: "I know, but hopefully now he believes I am not here. Oh I hate tricking him like his but it is for his own good. Right?"
Tomoyo: "Right. Sakura-chan can we put on your outfits now? We want the whole ensemble perfect?"

Sakura: "Right."

They went on for hours until about 10:30 then got ready for and into bed because tomorrow would be Christmas Eve.

Syaoran: "I thought for sure I could find her. I guess you were right, she just is not here. Oh well tomorrow is Christmas Eve maybe that will cheer me up. See you tomorrow Zander."

Zander: "Bye Syaoran, and sorry we didn't find her."
