Chapter 7

"That was amusing!" Sakura giggled as she and Syaoran turned into the corner of the street. "But they were just doing their job."

"I understand completely, I don't hold a grudge." Syaoran smiled at her. "How about we start with lunch at the near by Cake shop before going to Sea World?"

Sakura's eyes widen and excitement written all over it. "That's a great start. I love sweets!"

"I thought you would. Back at home, I can't eat as much sweets I want. Always watched and lectured." He laughed. "So, I'm going to go all out on this one. The 'Alice Sweet Buffet' just opened and they rated the place 5 stars at the Food Network!"

Totally excited now, Sakura gave his hand a squeezed. "You're a sweetheart! I've been meaning on going there with the girls all month!"

"Then let me have the pleasure on taken you there, Princess!" Syaoran bowed and grinned at her.

They both laugh as they continued their way to the main street. Both are aware that they are being watched.

"This feels awkward but exciting..." Meiling sighed as she adjusted her sunglass. "I feel bad on following them like this but what the heck!"

"Holding hands already? They move quickly!"

"Ho ho ho ho ho!" Tomoyo laughed as she adjusted her v.cam at the couple. "It is my sweet cousin's first date!"

"Hey, it's my cousin's first as well!" Meiling pointed out. "Hey, Eriol, what are you doing?"

Eriol, who was reading a magazine, looked up to her with a charming smile on his face. "Research, I'm just wondering where my dear descendant is taken my sweet and adorable girl..."

"You already know where so why do you have to look it up?" Confuse, Meiling stared at him.

Still smiling, Eriol winked at her. "I didn't look into the future my dear girl. So I'm looking at the magazine that you saw Syaoran was reading last night."

Blinking, Meiling gasped. "You didn't look?"

"Nope, lets go, they just turned to the corner - but before that..." Eriol mumbled a spell under his breath. "We need to cast away our presence. Those two are sharp, they'll figure it out we are following them if I don't..."

"What a sweetheart..." Tomoyo patted his shoulder. "No wonder I kept you around!"

Eriol chuckled.

---

"Hmm... Eriol's magic." Sakura smiled up to Syaoran. "I could always tell that it was him. Meiling and Tomoyo are with him."

Sighing, Syaoran fought the feeling of turning around and yell at the three stockers that was following them.

"Ignore them for now. Let them play their game but we will lose them sooner of later." Sakura giggled.

Syaoran smirked at her remark. "Eriol shouldn't take on two magical people when one of them happens to be the Princess of the Sakura Cards and his other half's daughter."

Sakura giggled. "Let them follow until we reach the amusement park but don't you think Eriol would know what we are doing before we do it?"

"True, but we can out-smart him if we want to..." Syaoran tug her hand and lead her inside the restaurant.

---

"WHAT!" Meiling cried out, she pouted. "He took her to the Alice Sweet Buffet? Not fair, not fair, not fair, not faiiiiiiir!"

Eriol and Tomoyo chuckled behind her.

"That is so like Syaoran to do, he has been dying for sweets in days since he landed in the airport!" Meiling sighed in defeat. "Should we just join them? Like an accident? I want sweets, too!"

But then she frowned. "The two of you, might work... but me tagging along, suspicious."

"Then, we will call the others to join us. Tomoyo and I will head in first, then when the others arrive. Move in!" Eriol instructed. "If I know any better. Those two are going to take their time eating."

Meiling nodded and started pushing buttons on her cell phone. Tomoyo smiled as Eriol took her hand and gently squeezed.

"We will move once we call everyone." He said with a smile.

Tomoyo didn't need to be told twice, she was already on the phone with Rika.

---

"I would like a lobster pizza and a strawberry delight." Sakura smiled up to the waiter. "Could I have water with lemon with that, please?"

The waiter blushed. "O-of course."

Syaoran eyed the waiter with both curiosity and glared at the fact that the man was ignoring him. "A chicken alfredo and lemon delight."

Taken by surprised, the waiter turned to Syaoran who was looking at him with a grim expression. The man blinked and then nodded, "Of course. Excuse me, anything else?"

"Could I have a glass of water...?"

"Excellent, I'll have your order ready." then the waiter left, flush and embarrass.

Sakura giggled and patted Syaoran's hand. "Scaring him was not necessary was it?"

"The way he was looking at you, yeah, it was or he will be standing there on that spot God only knows how long." Syaoran grinned. "So again, yes, it was necessary."

She laughed then, it was like silver bells. Everyone that was near them turned to listen to her laughter. Even some of the waiters around stopped to listen.

'What power and she's not even using them...' Syaoran found himself chuckling with her.

---

"Ok, we have called everyone..." Eriol put away his phone after talking to Takashi. "Takashi and Chiharu are coming."

"Rika can't make it. It's Family-day." Tomoyo looked at Meiling. "Any luck on Naoko?"

Meiling smiled and nodded. "Yeah, she said she will tag along too but her cousin and a friend from Hokkaido has come for a visit and will be tagging a long with us."

"The more the merrier! Once everyone come, go together and make it casual." Eriol took Tomoyo's hand. "Shall we go Milady?"

Tomoyo giggled. "Certainty"

Meiling sweat drop. 'Those two would make a very strange and cute couple. They flirt with each other but why are they not together?'

She watched the odd couple enter the restaurant, they were glowing.

'I am certain that there is something going on between them...'

A new plan builds up inside Meiling and smiled.

---

"The cavalry has arrived..." Syaoran sighed. "I was wondering when they're going to show up."

Sakura giggled. "They can't help it."

Syaoran let out a low grunt. "Ignore them. I'm betting you that your dear cousin has her video cam with her."

The waiter arrived with their order and placed them before the young couple. "Enjoy."

Still frustrated that the fact they have been followed on their date, Syaoran took a deep breath to calm him self. When he looked up again, his eyes widen.

"Say 'ah' Syaoran." Sakura had her fork in front of Syaoran with a nice piece of lobster pizza on the end. "Let's give them a scene, ne?"

Blinking, Syaoran felt his face flustered but leaned over and took the piece of food from her. Sakura giggled, sliced her self some and ate. Syaoran can't help that the small little action was like they exchanged a kiss.

'I should calm down and go on with the flow.' he thought to himself as he ate his chicken Alfredo. 'It will help me from dying right here in the spot.'

"Eriol is doing his magic..." Sakura smiled up to him. "Creating a mood of soothing and a little more that I recognized."

Syaoran choked. "That jerks. What is he planning to do? If he makes trouble -"

A gentle touch stopped Syaoran from continuing. Sakura have patted his hand from across the table with a gentle smile on her face. "Now, now we're on a date, remember? Let's enjoy it and leave them be."

He smiled now, he couldn't help himself. Leaning forward, he offered his fork with Alfredo pasta. "Your right, let's ignore them."

Laughing, Sakura accepted the offer and ate.

---

Tomoyo quietly squealed from where she sat and her v.cam in hand. "Kawaii de su..."

Eriol has a grin on his face. "I did not know they have it in them. Don't you think they're moving too fast or just a scene for us?"

"I don't care what it is. From how I see it, they're getting along and they have that spark when they look at each other." Tomoyo adjusted the camera so that both of her hands are free. "It would be nice if they get together."

When Tomoyo turned her attention on the boy before her, she smiled. He wasn't looking at the couple that they were spying on, he was looking at her.

"Don't you think so? It will be like a fairytale for them..."

Eriol softly smiled at her and reached for her hands. "What about 'our' fairytale?"

"Princess Tomoyo?"

Blushing lightly, creating a pixie look in her face. Tomoyo slightly squeezed his hand. "You're a charmer, Eriol."

They left it at that. Knowing that she would try and avoided the subject, Eriol let it dropped.

'You can't ran away from me forever, Tomoyo...' he thought as the girl before him began scavenging the menu. 'You shall belong soon enough...'

---

Outside the restaurant, Meiling watched the exchanged of the four people she have come to adore.

'Syaoran and Sakura are in the track but...' she turned her gazed at the other two, she frowned. 'Those two haven't even left the damn starting point.'

'What the hell are they doing?'

"Meiling-chan!" the call made Meiling to turn and saw Naoko walking up with two boys beside her.

"Naoko-chan, you're just in time! We have a couple that's doing well and an odd couple that's being stubborn. Oh yeah, who are they?" Meiling examine the boys beside Naoko.

One was tall with chocolate brown hair with tidy cut and big dark eyes. The other was the same height but he got blonde hair, spiked, and blue eyes. He looks American.

Naoko giggled, "This is Sanji Yanagisawa, my cousin and his best friend Ryan Clyde. Ryan's half American Japanese, he moved to Hokkaido 5 years ago."

Both boys smiled at Meiling. "It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too." Meiling gave them a friendly smile. "Why don't we go inside and chat on some cakes?"

Sanji's eyes brighten in delight in an instant. "I love sweet pastries! Let's go!"

Naoko laughed behind her hand then blushed slightly when Ryan put a gentle hand on her back to lead her. The tainted cheek was noticeable enough that Ryan hid a smile as they entered the restaurant.

"What in the world…" Syaoran looked up from his food. "That's Meiling and Yanagisawa-san. AND who are those boys with them?"

Curious, Sakura turned her head. Just as Syaoran said, Meiling and Naoko were with two boys, cute boys. She also recognized the boy with brown hair as Naoko's cousin. Sakura smiled and turned her attention back to her food. "Let it go Syaoran. That boy with Meiling is Naoko-chan's cousin from Hokkaido and that must be his best friend that is with them."

Syaoran sighed, calming his nerves. "Gomen ne, Sakura, I'm over protective when it come to my female relatives."

"I understand completely." Sakura smiled at him. "I have an over protective elder brother."

Syaoran smirked. "Takashi and Mihara are here too…"

Sakura giggled then. "Hmm… No, Rika-chan? Basically, all the group members are here today."

Syaoran stood up. "You like strawberry cake, correct?"

Sakura was surprised and then nodded. "How did you know?"

"You seem the type who likes strawberries…" Syaoran then left the table with a little flush on his cheek.

Sakura was non-better, her cheek was tainted pink as well but she has a smile on her face.

---

"Hmm…" Eriol grinned as he slightly leaned over his table. "Smooth move, for a first timer."

Tomoyo was watching the whole thing looked at the boy before her. "What did he say to her?"

"He said: You seem the type who likes strawberries…" Eriol repeated. "Observant of him, don't you think? To notice Sakura-chan's little details…"

"I'm impressed but let's see how everything goes through the day." Tomoyo smiled up to the waiter who placed their meals before them. "Thank you very much!"

The waiter blushed and then nod. "Y-your very w-welcome! L-let me know if t-there's anything e-else I could d-do for y-you."

With that, he hurriedly left. Tomoyo bit her lower lip from laughing out loud while Eriol eyed the waiter with full suspicion.

"That waiter" Eriol started. "Is very taken of you, Milady…"

Tomoyo patted his hand. "Eriol, don't get jealous over something like that. His older than we are too."

Eriol frowned. "He plans on given you his phone number under the napkin he is dropping over."

"He is a pimp with no respect to women. He had gotten him self 3 girl friends from 3 different schools."

Tomoyo sharply look up to him. Eriol wasn't looking at her but at the waiter with a serious look on his face.

"Eriol, are you serious? A gentle looking boy like that, are you sure?" Tomoyo licked her suddenly dry lips.

Eriol was looking at her now. "I am not mistaken, Milady. This fool believes he could have any woman he laid his eyes on and will do at any length to get to her."

"And he wants you…"

Tomoyo almost dropped her fork on the floor but Eriol caught it before it landed. She was shocked now, and then frowned.

"Why, that, lying… I dislike men like that!" Tomoyo decided to say.

Eriol took both her hands and kissed them. Making sure the waiter was watching. "Do you wish him to be punished, Milady? I will do as you asked."

"Those poor girls, they don't deserve to be played like that." Tomoyo's eyes were filled with distress and sadness for the thought of the three girls being played like a fool. "But I don't want him to get hurt physically…"

"He won't be. All that's going to hurt him is his pride." Eriol kissed her knuckles. "Now, shall we do a little magic? Knowing Sakura and Syaoran, they'll be asking questions later…"

Tomoyo gently smiled at him. "It's for a better cause. I'll tell Sakura that I gave you permission."

Laughing, Eriol kissed her hands one last time before letting go. "Tomoyo, you're a woman that's after my heart!"

They shared a small moment of laugher before Eriol's pleasant face turned into a serious one. "Time to feel the pain…"

Softly, Eriol mumbled his spell. Tomoyo quietly listened as she began to eat her food.

---

Syaoran placed a strawberry cake before Sakura and sat down.

"Thank you, Syao - …" Sakura was caught off from the presence of magic being used. Realization hit her; she looked up to Syaoran who was glaring at the table a few feet from them. Sakura turned. "Eriol-kun?"

Syaoran was about to stand up but Sakura took his hand, he looked down at her.

"He must have a good reason to do something like that in public and during the middle of the day." Sakura tighten her gripped on his hand. "Tomoyo-chan doesn't have any magic but she has a good sense of things. Beside, Eriol-kun won't just do a high level magic without her permission."

Syaoran studied her. She was distress, he didn't like it. So, to calm her down, he sat back down.

"I'll find out later why…" Sakura took her fork and took a small piece of cake. "I'll defiantly find out later…"

Syaoran just sighed and began to dig on his strawberry cake. "Tomoyo has control over Hiiragizawa?"

With a small giggle, Sakura nodded. "More than you think…"

---

The spell was dancing all around. Tomoyo smiled when she heard Eriol stopped mumbling. "Done?"

"Done, watch the scene; it is unfolding before your eyes Milady." Eriol then paid attention to his food.

Just like he promised, she saw a pretty girl with curly black hair walked up to the waiter, tears in her eyes. Eriol moved their plates to the sides surprising Tomoyo, and then he put his hands over her ears and pulled her closer to him. Their foreheads rested on each others.

"Listen, carefully. He is going to do anything to lie to her but non will work." Eriol whispered.

--

"Harushi, what is the meaning of this!" a girl about Tomoyo's age shakily asked. "I heard that you have other girl friends beside me from other schools. Is that true?"

--

Tomoyo gasped, she heard the girl perfectly, like she was standing right there.

"Shh…" Eriol hushed her gently, "Listen…"

--

Harushi, the waiter, turned white but gave her a smile. "Ana-chan, where did you hear such ridiculous rumor?"

"Calm down, it isn't true. Why would I do something like that to you, sweetheart?"

He placed a palm on her cheek and wiped her tears away. "You're the only one for me, darling…"

---

'That lying jerks….' Tomoyo thought.

---

Just then, the restaurant door opened.

"Harushi…" a female voice called out.

Harushi paled as Ana turned to see a girl standing in the doorway; her tears flowed down her pretty cheek. This one also has black hair but she got straight long hair.

"Y-your really a-are c-cheating o-one me…" the girl sobbed. "H-how could y-you do that to me?"

"Mika-chan…" Harushi breathe out. Opening his mouth but he remembered that Ana was beside him, he closed it.

Ana turned and stared at him, disbelieving the fact that he really lied to her. "Harushi, you are cheating…"

For the second time, the door opened. "Harushi-kun, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the amusement park…"

"Is that ok with you?"

The girl was petite with shoulder length black hair with blonde highlights. She stopped in the doorway, confused; she looked at the two girls before her.

"Harushi-kun who is these girls?" she asked.

"Lilah-chan…" Harushi took a step back now, scared, and wished he could just disappear.

Mika's eyes widen, she cried harder before leaving the restaurant.

"YOU LYING – CHEATING – JERK!" Ana screamed then ran out the door. "I HATE YOU! DON'T YOU EVER COME NEAR ME EVER AGAIN"

Everyone in the restaurant was shocked, glaring at the waiter; even his managers were annoyed and angry at him. Not just for making a scene but for playing three very pretty girls.

Holding his stand, Harushi gather his courage. Lilah was staring at him, tears now flowing down her pretty cheeks.

"Lilah, I can explain everything." Harushi started and took a few steps forward. "Those girls meant nothing to me! I swear they followed me everywhere I go and won't leave me alone. They got this idea that I'm their boy friend when I kept telling them that I belong to you."

"You have to believe me baby, I never cheated on you."

Lilah was too shock to say anything at all. She shook her head and then moved away from him. "I've been hearing rumors that you have been seen with different girls but I didn't believe them because I believed that you're not that type of person… but now…"

"Harushi, don't come near me again. For your sake and mine, this is good-bye."

Then she was gone, leaving Harushi looking like a fool before the customers, managers and co-workers. Then, the owner of the restaurant approached him.

"Harushi, come with me in my office…" he said.

Harushi nodded and followed him to the backroom. He also took note that every woman in the area was glaring at him. He even heard some of the things they said.

"That's too bad. A good looking guy like that, being a player."

"Dude, that's like a smack on the face to every male in the planet."

"Not cool."

Harushi lowered his head then hurriedly entered the backroom.

--

Sighing, Tomoyo wiped her tears away from her face. "He deserved that humiliation."

"Those girls will find a better boy friend." Eriol patted her flushed cheek. "Your tears, are they for him or the girls?"

"For the girls, he doesn't deserved to be sympathized" Her automatic respond.

Chuckling, Eriol rubbed her cheek. "Be calm now, Milady."

Smiling, she nodded. Then they returned on eating their food.

---

Across the restaurant, two people sat on their seats in disbelief.

"What just happened just now?" Syaoran asked no one in particular.

Since Sakura was the closest and the only one who heard him, she shook her head. "I don't know but it seems that it was a guy dating three girls at the same time and they found out."

"Eriol set it up."

Syaoran licked his dry lips and then turned to Sakura. "He can do that?"

Sakura turning her head to face him, nodded. "He is after all, the reincarnation of Clow Reed and inherits most part of his powers like my Father."

Syaoran sighed. "Remind me not to cross swords with him. That's just plain creepy…"

Sakura patted his hand. "He is not evil. I assure you that! Or he will be hearing it from me or better yet, Tomoyo-chan."

Syaoran then smirked. "Daidouji-san got him around her fingers…"

They both laughed and continued to eat their desert.

---

On the other table, the other group stared in awe. They were also joined by Takashi and Chiharu.

"What a dumb ass…" Ryan said. "Playing three girls like that! If I was any of those girls' brothers, I'll beat the living daylight out of that guy!"

Sanji and Takashi nodded.

"Unbelievable, he was good looking too." Meiling frowned. "I despised men like that. They believed they could have it all…"

"Good thing those girls found out or they'll be played horribly by that guy." Naoko felt sorry for the three girls. "Hope that guy gets fired…"

"I agree with you." Chiharu nodded. "Guys like that don't deserve a job like this."

Sanji sighed. "Well, what about we order something to cheer up our moods. Are we not here to eat cakes?"

Everyone grinned and softly laughed, they began to look over the menu before them.

---

It was an hour later that Syaoran and Sakura decided to leave to the Café and made their way to Sea World. Eriol and Tomoyo pursued them not long after. Also, Meiling explained to the others what was happening and got them excited to join the 'spying on Sakura and Syaoran's date'.

"Damn, they're annoying bunch of jerks…" Syaoran shoved his hands on his pocket. "You sure you don't want me to turn around and tell them off?"

Sakura let out a joyous laugh. "I find it rather funny but don't worry. I got it covered."

He eyed her. From the way she looked after she said those words, she let out a deep sighed. Syaoran took a minute to realize that Sakura was using her magic, not even an inch of it, but it was magic.

'What are you doing?' Sakura reached out to Eriol. 'Don't you ignore me, Eriol-kun?'

A gentle chuckle filled her head. 'Never, why would I do such a thing?'

'Don't follow us anymore.' Sakura requested with a little push. 'Syaoran-kun is beginning to get agitated and you don't want me to get upset now, do you?'

A moment of silence, it seemed that Eriol was debating. When his answer came, he laughed.

'Alright, my dear Blossom, I'll retreat my army of spies and let you go on your way.' Eriol said. 'Call on me when he doesn't behave.'

'You're a dear, Eriol-kun…' Sakura sent him a smile and broke the connection.

Content, she smiled at Syaoran. "They're backing off now."

"That I noticed. Hiiragizawa stopped suddenly and began speaking with Daidouji-san; they just turned around to meet the others." Syaoran grinned. "You have telepathy, that's a rare ability."

"It's a genetic skill, my parents have it. So I could call on my family whenever I need them." Sakura turned to look at the up coming building of Sea World. "It is going to be a fantastic day. Let's enjoy it together."

He watched her get excited when they entered the park.

To a normal person, she would be just a ordinary girl. But to those with magic, they could tell that she was something more, for she is the Mistress of the Sakura Cards, and also, the daughter of the reincarnation of Clow Reed.

TBC…

Wow, this is my first update in a long while. I'm sorry that it's taken so long. Hope you enjoy this.
