As Tomoyo and Eriol stepped out of the carraige, they noticed the moon was only just beginning to fall, and midnight had only passed recently. Meiling jumped down from the carraige and directed them to the home they were going to enter and how to enter it then went to direct the rest of the entertainment group on where to go. That was what Sakura would have assumed, anyway, if she had not been asleep in Eriol's arms. Tomoyo giggled at that fact and put her hands together.

"You look like a newlywed carrying your wife."

Eriol blushed, then turned serious. "I would hope not, or she would be in as much danger as us."

Tomoyo stopped smiling and sadly nodded her head. "We can never marry until our eighteenth birthday...and even then, would we want to endanger the one we loved?"

"I would never, and eighteen for me is my next birthday, and you're just one year younger than me. Sixteen." Eriol spoke and then smiled, "It is sad though...Enfuido was assigned for us, and then someone reported a baby with a strange aura about her and dropped her off with Enfuido and both of us. Enfuido named her Sakura, and so you grew up with her. I only joined a few days ago, and you had been overjoyed to see me, as you said."

"It is sad that she's getting mixed up in all this, though." Tomoyo put a hand on the sleeping girl's forehead.

"True." The two went to the place that they had been directed to, locked the door, shut the windows, and put Sakura in one of the four beds.

Tomoyo went to the kitchen to make dinner and Eriol sat on the edge of the bed Sakura slept on, waiting for her to wake up.

. . .

A knock on the door came and Eriol answered the door warily. A boy the same age as he was the knocker, with dark brown hair and soft brown eyes. The boy smiled.

Eriol could see the small aura similar to Tomoyo and his own and blinked in suprise. "Syaoran?"

"Long time no see, Prince Eriol."

"Shh! Don't say that out loud!" He clamped a hand shut over his old friend's mouth and shoved him inside before shutting the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was asked by your parents to come and protect you."

Eriol sat on the empty bed next to Sakura's and watched Syaoran. "Ah."

Syaoran's eyes darted to the sleeping blonde girl, and his eyes widened slightly. "Another one? And what power does she have?"

"We're unsure..." Eriol stopped as Syaoran seemed to not be hearing him. The old friend reached his hand down and brushed the blonde bangs from the porcelain-like face.

"Ka....kawaii." Syaoran blushed and then looked away. Eriol grinned, fighting down the small sense of anger he felt.

"Ah, Syaoran finds the beautiful Sakura cute. How...understating. Cute is an understatement." Eriol stood up and stretched his arms out. "Well, i'm going to help Tomoyo cook. You watch for when Sakura wakes up.

Syaoran allowed guilt and pain to show on his face once Eriol left the room. He was betraying them...but he couldn't help it. It was for the good of everyone.
