Eriol's troubles
by: Rika and Suzuki
----------
A few minutes later, Eriol came back downstairs and handed Nukuru two letters. "Go mail these please., and yes, one is going to Tomoeda, andno you can't steam the letter open and read it. I want these to get where they're going as soon as possible."
"How did you know about that?" Nukuru pouted.
"Daidouji-san commented on how a few of my letters havegotten to hervery wrinkled..." Eriol said, glaring at her.
Nakuru laughed nervously and cleared her throat. "I'm going to the post office...anyone want to come?"
"Uhhh...no thanks..." Harry said.
"No way!" Hermione said, gazing lovingly at Eriol. "I like it here..." 3
"Ummm..." Eriol started. "I...uh...I...have to go...I think I left my radio on..." With that, Eriol turned and ran to his study at top speed.
"I don't see what's so great about him..." Ron grumbled. Harry just shrugged.
"Harry, didn't you say something about Eriol being a reincarnation?" asked Hermione. "Who is he a reincarnation of? Whoever he was, he must've been very powerful to reincarnate himself."
"I'm not sure...something about a reed or something..." Harry trailed off.
"It couldn't been Clow Reed, could it? Hermione asked.
"Hey! Isn't a reed a type of weed?" Ron asked. Everyone just ignored him.
"Why don't we go ask Eriol?" Harry suggested.
"A-all right..." Hermione stuttered.
"So, they all trooped up to Eriol's study. Harry stopped them outside the door.
"Do you hear that?" he asked.
They all pressed there ear to the door and listened. There was music playing.
kirameku kaze ga, toiki no you ni yabarakaku
kata wo tsutsumu yo
chiheisen no mukou kara
aruite kuru hito wo mitsumete'ru
koko ni kite
They slowly opened the door to find Eriol sitting back in his chair with a book open in his lap and a silly grin on his face. His eyes were closed, and he was humming to the music. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at them.
"What are you doing here!" he yelled, stumbling to turn off the music and compose himself. He only succeeded in hitting the volume and making it louder before he finally unplugged it.
"I think the better question is what are you listening to?" Harry asked.
"That's Tomoyo-chan!" Nukuru said, walking through the door. "I'm back, by the way...I love driving your car Eriol...it goes so fast..."
Eriol groaned. "Not that it really matters! Daidouji-san has lots of fans all over the world."
Ron grinned. "And you just happen to be one of those fans, right?"
"Of course!" Nakuru said. "Eriol-sama's Tomyo-chan's biggest fan! As a matter of fact..."
"NAKURU!" Eriol yelled angrily, cutting her off.
"He was interrupted by an owl tapping on the window. He glared at the owl before sighing and lifting his hand. The window lifted with his hand, and the owl flew in, dropping a letter on the table. Eriol picked up the letter and opened it, glancing at its contents. A small smile formed on his lips as he read through it.
"Nakuru..." said Eriol with a smile. "How would you like to go to Tomoeda again?"

Rika: Ok...a few explainations:
First, the song that Harry and the others heard is called "Koko ni Kite". It's also known as "Tomoyo's Song", and it makes an appearance in the second Card Captor Sakura movie as the song Tomoyo sang at the festival. Translation:
The shimmering wind wraps around my shoulders,
as gently as a sigh.
I'm gazing at someone
walking toward me from across the horizon
"Come here."
Second, the two letters went to the post office and to Dumbledore by owl, respectively. The letter that Eriol got back was from Dumbledore.
Suzuki: I think that's it...
Rika: Same. I hope you liked the chapter!
Suzuki: Me too...yay!
Rika: Oh, and please leave us reviews!
