Author's notes: Finally, after the long wait, here's the next chapter. I hope people are still reading this story and forgive my laziness of putting up the next chappie. Well, read, review and enjoy ^_^

Chapter 7.

"O.K why do I have to be here again?"

Touya asked for the umpteenth time in the last fifteen minutes.

"Geez Oniichan, chill out will ya?" Sakura said in an exasperated tone. "I told you, we needed someone to drive us and I couldn't ask Dad on his day off, now could I?" Sakura rolled her eyes at her older brother.

They were currently standing in the arrival section of the airport, waiting for their party to arrive from England. Sakura had persuaded Touya into driving her and Tomoyo over to the airport. Now, Touya was standing further away from the girls, who were eagerly looking at the arrival times on the large screen.

"I don't know how we could've let Sakura talk us into this?" Kero grumbled from Touya's pocket. "I mean for you it's understandable, they needed someone to drive them. But why me? Why? Why? Why?" Kero wailed out loud.

"Hey shut up fluff ball. People are going to start staring at us." Touya said under his breath.

It appeared that the flight from England was 35 minutes late. The girls, after reading that information, sighed and went over to the benches to sit down. They looked over at Touya and Kero, whose head was poking out of Touya's breast pocket. They giggled at the sight. Both the human and the stuffed animal had identical scowls on their faces.

"Hey Oniichan," Sakura called out. "You should cheer up now. After all, your number one fan is on her way over."

Both girls giggled again at the horror struck look on his face. Up until that point, he hadn't given any thought about Nakuru's arrival. He had plenty of other things to keep his thoughts occupied. Like, for instance, a certain moon guardian, with long silver hair and a lush mouth. Touya shook his head. He was not going to start thinking about this again. Ever since that kiss had happened last night, there was very much less that Touya was able to think about. At that moment, he had dashed away from the man, for he had no idea what else to do. He couldn't even sleep at night, for his thoughts kept turning towards that incredible kiss that he had shared with one person he hated the most. Or so he thought he hated. Touya still couldn't remember what had came over him and why he had given into Yue so easily. When Yue had pulled him in close, why was he unable to push him away? All through the night, he kept recalling the feel of incredibly soft lips crushing against his own. How his tongue had dueled with Yue's. And how perfectly Yue's lithe form had fitted into his arms.

The girls noted Touya's absent-mindedness and the way he was staring off into space. They both shared a knowing, secretive smile and looked back at Touya. Last night, after giving Yukito a quick recount of what had happened, Tomoyo had immediately called Sakura. They had talked well into the night discussing the many different aspects of the day's events.

"Oh my God, this is going to be so good." Tomoyo whispered to Sakura. "With Nakuru coming into picture, I wonder how Yue will react."

"Knowing my guardian, he'll probably act aloof." Sakura replied.

"I don't know Sakura," Tomoyo shook her head. "That was a petty steamy kiss they shared. You weren't there to witness it, but the way they were both grabbing onto each other was so freakin' hot and then they……"

"O.K O.K spare me the rest." Sakura cried out. "This is my brother you're talking about. I want to know what happened, I just don't want all the graphic details."

Sakura shuddered minutely. She then gave a devilish smirk, not unlike her brother's.

"Hey Tomoyo, watch this." Sakura whispered to her friend.

"Hey Oniichan." She called out.

Touya shook his head as if coming out of a trance.

"What's the matter, didn't get enough sleep last night?"

Touya frowned at the two giggling girls.

"I got enough sleep thank you." He yawned broadly at the end of the sentence, which caused the girls to become hysterical.

"I'm gonna go and get some coffee."

Touya decided to ignore the girls and made his way over to the snack bar.

They waited for a while more, and finally the flight had arrived. Tomoyo and Sakura immediately moved to stand in front of the gate and looked at the exiting passengers. Touya, who had finished his extra-large cup of coffee, was standing right behind them.

Finally, a familiar head of midnight blue hair appeared through the gate. It was quickly followed by a taller person, with long red hair.

Upon spotting them, Sakura started jumping up and down waving at them cheerfully. Nakuru jumped up and down in return, whereas Eriol just smiled and waved. A familiar stuffed animal was poking his head out of Eriol's carry on bag. Sakura smiled at the seemingly prone figure.

After going through the security check procedures, Eriol and Nakuru stepped up to greet their friends. Sakura was immediately enveloped in a warm embrace in Eriol's arms.

"I missed you so much, Eriol." Sakura spoke into his shoulders. Eirol smiled and hugged her close, before letting her go.

"The feeling is mutual." He said.

Next to them, Nakuru had just released Tomoyo, after hugging the day lights out of her. Eriol had to hide a smile at the ruffled up Tomoyo. Her neat hair was a bit disarrayed and she was supporting a healthy flush. Maybe, Nakura, in her excitement had hugged the poor girl too tightly. Eriol frowned at his guardian, who was now in the process of hugging Sakura. Eriol shook his head good naturedly and smiled at Tomoyo. They both bowed respectfully to each other.

"It's good to see you here, Eriol San." Tomoyo greeted.

"It's good to be back." Eriol said with a smile. He then looked behind the girls to the figure, who was looking very apprehensive and was trying to make himself invisible by blending into the crowds. Eriol smiled inwardly. Still the same old Touya.

Touya, from his place, was having a very bad feeling about this. He had noticed the enthusiastic hugs Nakuru was placing on the girls. It was only a matter of time before that hurricane would turn towards him. He was slowly inching hi way backwards. Maybe if he got close enough to the exit, he could make a break for it and get to his car. Once he's behind the wheel, then Nakuru would have no excuse to jump him.

Uh-oh, he had better hurry. Nakuru had just put Sakura down and was now looking around. `Forget being subtle, I'm outta here.' With this thought, he turned around and ran towards the exit. He had barely made it two feet when an over enthusiastic figure rammed into back, nearly knocking him over.

"Tooouuuyaaaaa!!!"

Touya cringed horribly as Nakuru screamed into his ears. She had both her arms thrown around his neck and was squeezing the life out of him.

"I missed you. I missed you. Ohhhh, I missed you soooooo much."

She was rubbing her face into his shoulder over and over again. Touya pried her arms off from around his neck, and held her at arm's length.

"Hey Sakura," he called over to her. "You guys better be outside in five minutes. I'm gonna go get the car."

"All right."

Sakura replied, while looking at the scene amusingly.

Nakuru was waving her arms frantically to get back in Touya's arms. Touya held her steady, pushed his body back and then let go of her arms. He dashed out of there so fast that he left a smoke trail behind.

"Ohhh, why did he run away?" Nakuru wailed.

"I wasn't done saying hello to him. Oh well, now that I'm back, I'm gonna catch him for good. Oh yeeeah."

Nakuru raised a fisted hand in the air, and let out a cheer. Behind her, Eriol shook his head at Nakuru whereas Sakura and Tomoyo smirked and giggled.

*~*~*

When the first school bell rang, was the exact time Sakura entered through school gates. Even though she was in a higher grade now, her habit of sleeping-in hadn't changed at all. She took off her skates and ran towards the classroom before the late bell rang.

Tomoyo was standing outside the class waiting for her. Sakura skidded to a stop right next to her and bent down to her waist, gasping and catching her breath. She then straightened up and smiled widely at her friend.

"Whew. Made it."

Tomoyo chuckled softly. They both went inside and the first thing they noticed was that there was a small group of people surrounding a desk. A lot of enthusiastic chatter was arising from within the circle. It didn't take them long to realize that they were all gathered around Eriol's desk. He had come back after a long absence, so they were all eager to know where he'd been all this time.

Sakura's eyes roamed around and landed on her boyfriend, who was sitting at his usual spot; right behind her desk. Sakura smiled when she took in his appearance. He was sitting there rigid in his seat with his arms folded over his chest, and a deep scowl on his face. It was no secret that Syaoran held a grudge against Eriol, and that Eriol never missed an opportunity to tease the young, hot-blooded man. And by the look of things, a fair amount of teasing had already taken place since this morning.

Sakura took her seat and turned around to greet Syaoran. She was met with a soft kiss on the cheek, as Syaoran settled back down.

"Woo hoo!"

A voice piped up which caused Syaoran to cringe and slump down in his seat.

"I didn't know my cute descendant was into public displays of affection."

Eriol was saying mischievously, as the whole class burst into laughter. Sakura blushed furiously, and Syaoran's face went scarlet. He mumbled under his breath. Something about insufferable evil reincarnations.

Tomoyo sat down in the seat next to Sakura still chuckling softly.

"He got you with that one Syaoran."

She said sympathetically as he glared at her. She straightened up as Meiling sat down on her seat with a plop.

"Hey Meiling, where have you been?" Tomoyo inquired. "I wanted to ask you about how your date went."

Sakura looked at her and nodded her head.

"Yeah, me too."

Meiling turned around and looked at them incredulously.

"I believe I gave you both separate accounts of everything that happened."

"Yeah but it's not the same." Tomoyo insisted. "Come on, give us the whole detail."

Meiling rolled her eyes but complied anyway. She turned in her seat fully towards them.

"As I told you guys, it was nothing special. I just went out with him to get him off my back once and for all. Plus the date itself was a real snooze fest. He kept on talking about how much he liked his videogames. He even gave me a step by step account of how to play one of these fighting games. Man I thought he would never shut up about it. And then, when he was dropping me off, he tried to kiss me. But I just shook his hand, thanked him for a `lovely' time and ran inside."

Meiling shuddered minutely at the end as both Sakura and Tomoyo chuckled. Meiling gave them a lop-sided smile.

"Well, at least it's over. I'm never going out with that geek again." She said in a final tone.

Tomoyo and Sakura nodded their heads.

"I never thought he was right for you in the first place, anyway." Tomoyo said as Sakura nodded her consent.

All three of them straightened in their seat as the teacher walked in.

A few tables down from theirs, two boys were having a quiet little conversation of their own.

"So Brad, did you get to score with that Meiling chick yet, or what?"

Dave Summers, Brad's best friend and class bully, was asking of his friend. Brad shook his head.

"No not yet. But believe me I will."

He said in a malicious tone. All traces of humbleness and niceties that he had shown in front of Meiling were gone from his face.

"That bitch has left me hanging for such a long time. Now that I've finally gotten a date out of her, it's only a matter of time when I take her to my bed." He said glaring at the back of Meiling's head.

Dave gave a small hyena laughter and they both high-fived under the table.

"Yeah, show her what you're made of, big boy."

They both sat up as the teacher started the day's lesson. Unbeknownst to the hot-tempered yet sweet-natured girl, a boy was harboring a serious grudge against her. He had very strong negative feelings towards her, and he had full intentions of following through them, as soon as an opportunity presented itself.

*~*~*

Yukito sighed as he placed his hands behind his head and leaned back against the tree. He had arrived early to the campus today to reflect on a few things. Ever since Saturday night and all throughout Sunday, his thoughts had been a great big jumble. He still recalled the conversation that he'd had with Tomoyo over the phone. So that explained Touya's behavior. Who'd have ever thought it possible? Touya and Yue together. These words sounded weird even to his ears. Sure he had entertained the idea in his own head that those two might be good together, but he had thought it utterly impossible. With those two at each other's throats all the time.

Yukito had tried to contact Yue all weekend but he was met with stony silence. Although, Yukito noticed, that every time he mentioned the name Touya, a strange sense of warmth ran throughout his body. It was as if Yue was blushing furiously and Yukito could feel it through their link. Yukito sat up straight and shook his head. He then chuckled softly and muttered.

"I guess the worst enemies make the best lovers."

He silently admitted to himself that sound of Yue and Touya together wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. They were both good looking, and extremely compatible. They would be good for each other.

He stood up and stretched out his arms over his head. He started to make his way over to the building. He was nearly there when sound of rapidly approaching footsteps stopped him on his tracks. Yukito turned around and saw Touya running to catch up with him. When he finally caught up he placed a hand over Yukito's shoulders and bent over his waist catching his breath.

"He…hey Yuki. H….how's….it…going?"

Yukito patted him on the back.

"I'm fine, but what the heck is wrong with you? You look like the hounds of hell are running after you or something."

Touya straightened up.

"Do you have any idea who's back? Hounds of hell have nothing on Nakuru Akizuki. Man I hope I don't run into her today. Or ever."

Yukito hid a smirk.

"Where have you been all this time? You didn't call or anything."

Touya's cheeks took on a pink tint.

"We..well you know. I've been busy with this and that."

Yukito smiled evilly.

"To-ya. Do you know if something's the matter with Yue? I haven't been able to contact with him either. Did you guys have another fight or something?"

Touya was looking everywhere but at him.

"Umm…..no….I don't….not to my knowledge…."

Touya was stammering horribly. All of a sudden, his whole posture went rigid and his eyes widened with a horrified expression. A loud, grating sound came from somewhere behind them.

"Toooouuuuyaaaaaa!!! Where are yooooooouuuuu?!!"

Nakuru had apparently enrolled in their college and was now on hunt for her favorite prey.

Touya's eyes popped out of their sockets and his hair stood on end.

"I was never here."

He said quickly and then……

`Whoosh'

He ran out of there so fast that he could've given the track and field team a run for their money. Yukito's hair blew away from his face by the impact of Touya's hasty retreat. His glasses went askew and slid down his nose.

He was fixing his glasses and patting down his hair when another wild wind blew his hair straight off again. Yukito sighed and lowered his head. Why should I even bother? He straightened his glasses and greeted Nakuru, who was panting slightly and looking around.

"It's good to see you Nakuru, how are you? I hope you had a nice trip."

Nakuru nodded at him.

"Yeah yeah, I'm good. Say, have you seen my Touya around here?"

Yukito looked around himself and shook his head. Nakuru's eyes had gone beady and was sweat-dropping.

"Smart ass."

She muttered under her breath. She was just about to take off again when she stopped. She looked at Yukito and stared straight into his eyes as if trying to see past the windows to his soul. She stared for a few moments, which made Yukito very fidgety. She then did the mature thing that was only expected of Nakuru. She blew a raspberry right on Yuki's face.

"That's for Yue."

She said and took off at a great speed. She was once again screaming for Touya at the top of her lungs.

"Tooouuuyyyaaaaa! My love, where are yoooooouuuuu? Come and get some sweet sweet lovin from your Nakuruuuuu!!!"

Yukito, who was staring wide eyed at the space in front of him, shook his head. Things had just gotten a bit more interesting around here.

Yukito was about to leave for his class when he stopped dead in his tracks. There was a new burst of feeling going throughout his body. He knew that these emotions were coming from Yue and he was feeling them through their link. He tried to pinpoint what kind of feelings they were. Maybe they were of anger, since Yue and Nakuru had never met eye to eye.

But wait a minute, this didn't feel like anger. Yukito's eyes widened when he finally realized what it was. Could it be possible that what the moon guardian was feeling was actually jealousy?
