-The Ichiro Residence-
"Tomoyo, honey please. He's in his office right now, what do you need him for?" The woman with the snow-white hair asked
"Auntie Kanna, it's very important. About that business deal, that bought you this house!" Tomoyo said in a low and icy tone.
"Oh, I see then. Let's give him a few minutes, though. Into the parlor with you, I'll put on a spot of tea." Kanna sighed as she led Tomoyo into the parlor, which was right across to the office. When Kanna left, Tomoyo leaned on her elbow and strained to see through the crack in the door to Wei, who was busy clicking away at his computer. Tomoyo sat back up at the sound of foot steps coming toward the parlor; "Here you go dear, careful it's a tad hot."
"Auntie, how long do you think we should wait for Uncle?" Tomoyo pondered then took a long sip of her tea.
"Give him a few more minutes, dear, he's been very busy lately." Kanna replied politely, then sat down across from Tomoyo. She picked up her cup of tea, but nearly dropped it at the sound of the phone ringing, "Oh, never mind that your Uncle will get it, since it's usually for him any way."
"Oh, well alright then." Tomoyo nodded then took another sip of her tea.
"I'm sorry, who did you say this was?" Wei asked loudly as he got up and walked around his office.
"So how have things been other wise dear?" Kanna quizzed trying to make friendly conversation.
"Oh well..." Tomoyo started then paused as she heard Wei
"Li? OH! Young Master Syaoran Li!" Wei exclaimed making Tomoyo's head turn
"No!" Tomoyo murmured as she dropped her tea on the floor and ran to the office. She grabbed the phone out of his hand.
"What? Tom…" Wei began but stopped at the sound of Tomoyo slamming the phone down.
"You cannot talk to Syaoran, Uncle. He's trying to figure things out!" Tomoyo informed as she turned to face him
"Tommy, he should not be trying to figure anything out," Wei reminded, "because it is your job to be sure he doesn't."
"Uncle, my job hasn't gotten any easier since you decided to 'retire'! Honestly, you cannot expect me to handle everything!" Tomoyo huffed as she folded her arms in front of her chest
"Tommy, I can't keep watching over him forever. If I did stay, don't think he'd wonder why I serve him so long? We cannot have him asking any questions!" Wei countered as he sat down in his desk chair
"But, the problem regardless who is there he is asking questions!" Tomoyo growled as she sat in a chair by the window.
"When did this start?" Wei demanded
"Recently, he's been having dreams and he keeps waking up yelping and sweaty." Tomoyo replied with tired eyes
"What sort of dreams?" Wei quizzed, obviously curious.
"See, you really shouldn't have quit. Obviously, you care for him like a grandson! Anyways, he just says it's nothing and shakes it off. We're growing apart, my job is going to be taken away from me!" Tomoyo continued
"They should have foreseen this, his elders. It was there plan to get you involved so he'd forget, you know whom. But, it is his house he can do whatever he wants to. We just have to discuss this with his clan and get some sort of plan up." Wei shrugged, "Just make sure not to get dumped that's all you have to do right now. I'll call the clan tonight."
"You act as if we're actually going out. It's just a job Uncle!" Tomoyo laughed as she leaned back in her chair.
"You obviously must care for him on some level, you wake up every time he has these dreams." Wei pointed out with a slight smirk.
"Stop it Uncle, he…" Tomoyo began but paused at the sound of the phone ringing, "Don't pick it up, don't you dare."
"I know, I cannot talk to him. If I do, it could be disaster I can't just keep showing back up in his life, so Tomoyo you must take care of him. My chapter in his life has ended so this is all up to you. No more revealing anything, Tomoyo this is your fault so you must make sure nothing else happens. So get out of my house and don't come back until he forgets anything that could make the clan mad at our family." Wei lectured as he got up and went to the front door.
"Fine, you'll see everything will end up perfect." Tomoyo promised as she went to her car.
-With Syaoran-
"Yeah Eriol, I don't know why he won't pick up." Syaoran said as he spoke into his phone.
"Hmm, ever think he doesn't really like you?" Eriol guessed
"Eriol, you are one horrible best friend." Syaoran laughed. He would usually deny it but Eriol was actually his cousin. Eriol Hirragizawa was just about the only person Syaoran felt comfortable around. Eriol actually knows everything that Syaoran has forgotten but, is forced by the clan not to tell Syaoran. In his own slight rebellion he drops hints in hopes that Syaoran will remember something.
"Well, try tracking him down if you get him cornered I'm sure you'd get some answers." Eriol suggested, "Any idea of the places he goes to."
"Yeah actually, I do. Nice job Eriol, you're not completely worthless." Syaoran laughed
"Ah, I'm so happy. Did you realize spring is only a few weeks away? I cannot wait for the cherry blossom trees bloom. What do they call them there in Japan?" Eriol said smirking at his end of the phone
"Eh, um… no idea." Syaoran replied in a defeated tone, he honestly had no idea what they were called
"Oh yeah, they're called Sa…" Eriol started
"Syaoran! Who are you talking to!" Tomoyo demanded as she grabbed the phone from Syaoran and hung it up.
"Eriol… Hirragizawa… He's my cousin, I'll have to introduce you sometime." Syaoran answered with a brow lifted, "Are you okay Tommy? Something wrong?"
"No, I'm fine. I think I'll make some dinner." Tomoyo stated hastily as she practically ran out of the room
"Um, right. Tommy I'm going to go out and pick up some socks since you forgot." Syaoran lied as he got up and went into the kitchen.
"Oh sorry I forgot. Dinner will be waiting for you by the time you get back!" Tomoyo apologized as she opened the fridge.
-Somewhere-
The sky was pink and cloudless, and the air smelt of flowers as it always does. She sat in the garden, letting her hair sway in the wind. She was facing the entry path, in hopes he would come back and sweep her off her feet. She had been waiting for him for near 2 years, she looked down at her hands and let her tears fall on them. She'd wait for him, no matter how long it would take.
-with Syaoran-
Syaoran drove to the library, and looked around the quiet hall. He walked swiftly looking through each isle. Then he went up the stairs and toward the desks lined up against the windows. He looked through the isles of books there, and then saw something sitting in the corner of the library. Syaoran strode toward it, and exhaled at the sight.
"Wei Ichiro, we need to talk. Right now." Syaoran murmured just loud enough for Wei to hear.

Uggh, do you love it? Review, and I'm going to nap.
