Eriol's Troubles

By: Suzuki and Rika

----------

"NO! No,no,no,no!" Ron yelled, then growled in frustration "Again! And this time I'm going to win!"

"If you insist." replid Eriol setting the chess pieces back in order "I must say, I like you're determination. It's good not to give up."

"Even when you can't win." Harry said smugly. He was glad Eriol was good at chess, even if he wasn't. Ron had been getting a big head after beating Harry so many times, and Eriol was more than happy to put some ice on it.

"Be quiet and let me concentrate..." Ron growled.

"Are you two still at that?" asked Hermione, coming back from the cockpit.

"What did Nakuru say?" asked Eriol instead.

"She said we should be landing in Tomoeda soon, and to fasten your seatbelts." Answered Hermione, picking up her book again. She was determined to learn Japanese before they landed. "I still can't believe Nukuru knows how to fly a plane."

Eriol laughed. "She doesn't. I got us in the air, then set it to autopiolet. She just likes to pretend."

"Aren't you a little young to know how to fly?" asked Hermione.

"I don't." Eriol said, and tried desperately not to laugh at their shocked faces. "With a little magic, the plane does it all by itself." Hermione looked at him with a mixture of shock and adoration on her face. Eriol ignored her, and moved another piece on the chessboard. "Checkmate..."

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

"Oh! There they are! Eriol-kun, over here!"
Eriol turned, hearing Sakura's voice. He saw her and waved.

"SAKURA-CHAAAAAN!" screamed Nukuru, glomping her.

"Nu-Nukuru-chan...I...can't breathe..." Sakura said, struggling in Nukuru's grasp.

Nukuru giggled. "Gomen...where's Touya?"

"At work." Sakura said. By that time, Eriol and the others had arrived.

"Eriol-kun!" Sakura said, and hugged him. The brown-haired boy behind her growled slightly. She turned and giggled at him.

"It's wonderful to see you too Li-kun." Eriol said with a cheery smile. Syaoran just glared at him. Tomoyo decided to ease the tension.

"It's wonderful to see you again Hiragizawa-kun." Tomoyo said happily.

Eriol smiled. "And you as well Daidouji-san. I must say, you are looking prettier than ever."

Tomoyo blushed at the compliment, much to Eriol's happiness. "Thank you." Syaoran glared all the more.

"So, where is Meiling-san?" Eriol asked.

"She went to go get drinks for Tomoyo-chan and I." Sakura answered. Then, she looked behind Eriol. 'Are these the people you were talking about in your letter?"

"Yes." Eriol said. "This is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger." He pointed to each of them, and then turned around. "This is Sakura Kinomoto, Tomoyo Daidouji, and Syaoran Li."

"Oooohh..." Harry said with an evil glint in his eyes. "THAT'S Daijouji-san..."

"Shut up Harry..." Eriol warned. Sakura just giggled. Syaoran gave a questioning look at Eriol and Harry. He just realized how much they looked alike.

"What do you mean 'that's Daidouji-san'?" he asked.

"NOTHING!" Eriol said, steaming.

"Ok then..." Syaoran said, dropping it...for now.

Just then, someone else walked up and handed Tomoyo and Sakura bottles of soda. "You're Hirigizawa-san! And you brought friends!"

"Hello Meiling-san." Eriol said, and went through the introductions again.

"Oi! Eriol!" A voice from Eriol's pocket said. Kero popped his head out. "SUPPIE! Where are you!"

"Kero!" Sakura yelled, shoving him back in her pocket.

"Woah! What was that?" Hermione asked. She then proceeded to pull her Care of Magical Creatures textbook out of her backpack and flip through it.

"Ummm...nothing..." she said quickly. "Let's go back to my house now. My dad made Takoyaki this morning, and we can have tea."

Suddenly, Kero popped out again, along with a similar creature that was in Nukuru's pocket. "Takoyaki?"

Eriol quickly stepped in front of the creature. "Get back in her pocket Spinnel!"

"Another one?" Hermione asked, still furiously reading her textbook.

"You won't find them in there." Tomoyo told her, chuckling.

Eriol shook his head. "Let's get out of here before anything else happens." With that, they gathered up their bags and headed towards the exit.
