Episode 21-Eriol's Betrayal?
Syaoran’s Point of View
I stared in shock as I watched my best friend and my girlfriend make out as she tried to cook dinner.
At first, grief flooded me. “Sakura…I thought you said you loved me. Why are you…?”
Eriol gasped for breath, and Sakura tried to say something. But before she could get the words out, Eriol was sucking her face off again. He slammed her hard into the wall, and then slid down until he had her pinned to the floor.
He stopped for a second, panting. Sakura’s eyes were wide. “Eriol…?”
“I love you Sakura. I may not have known you for a very long time, but I’ve fallen in love with you, no matter how wrong it may be,” he confessed, gazing into her eyes. Sakura blushed.
“What…what are you doing?!” Tomoyo’s voice gasped behind me. I whipped around, and tears were already rolling down in full blast. “Eriol…Sakura…why?”
I continued to watch as Eriol…WTF! Now he was licking her! His nasty tongue traveled from her collarbone and up her neck.
It was then that I realized something was wrong. Sakura wouldn’t cheat on me. Sakura couldn’t cheat on me, even if she tried. She just wasn’t that kind of girl. Plus, there was fear in her eyes and she clearly wasn’t enjoying being licked. Because when someone licks you, you just have to enjoy it, right? (Er…that…that was sarcasm….don’t take it seriously…unless…you like… being licked…? Ahem. Anyway…)
I clenched my fists. “That’s it, lover-boy! Off my girl!”
I hooked my arms under his and pried him off. When I finally shook him loose, he grabbed Sakura’s shirt and ripped, like, half of it off. Sakura gasped and flushed as she scrambled to cover herself.
I tried to ignore her (hard) and slammed Eriol into the wall. “Who are you?” I growled into his ear. “What have you done with Eriol Hiiragazawa?”
He tried to fight back, but my rage gave me strength.
“All right, all right! I’ll tell you. My name is Yuhi.”
I blinked. “…Huh?”
“You see this wound?” He pointed to large cut on his…Eriol’s…arm. “I inflicted it, and got into his body through it.”
Suddenly, it clicked. “You work for the Li Guardians, don’t you!?”
“Oh, finally, the genius catches on,” he muttered, rolling his eyes.
“Shut up! Tell me what you’re here for!”
“Fine, fine. I was supposed to tear apart the Guardians of Tomoeda from the inside. I wasn’t supposed to give you those clues, but I couldn’t watch precious Sakura in pain.” He looked longingly at her, and she returned his gaze with a fearful stare. Tomoyo was helping her up.
“That would explain why you always look so guilty,” she whispered.
“See, you idiot, you just scared the woman you love so much for life!” I yelled. “What do you have to say about that!?”
“You’re pathetic,” he muttered.
“Sh-shut up!!” I slammed him against the wall again.
“Where’s Eriol?!” Tomoyo cried suddenly. “What did you do with him?!”
“Relax, woman, he’s fine.” Yuhi smirked at her. “I’m sure he misses the amazing make-out sessions that come to him everyday.”
That pissed her off. She marched over and slapped him, hard. “Shut up, you ugly pig!”
In my surprise, I had released my grip on him. He stepped toward Tomoyo. “Am I ugly? Am I really? Here, find out for yourself.” He held his hand to her forehead.
She gasped and blushed slightly. Yuhi smiled, satisfied.
Sakura blinked. “Well, Tomoyo? What does he look like?”
“Wuh…uhhh…well…he’s not ugly, that’s for sure.” Tomoyo managed, still in a state of shock.
Yuhi smiled at Sakura warmly. “Care to see for yourself, precious? This won’t be the first time you’ve seen me.” He held her back gently and pressed his fingers to her forehead. I growled, but he ignored me.
Sakura gasped. “You’re the black figure I’ve seen in my dreams!”
“Aww, you’ve been dreaming about me? How sweet!”
I slapped the back of his head. “Um, ow.”
“All right, my turn,” I muttered, turning him to face me. He sighed and showed me what he looked like.
…
He was like a super model! He had longs legs, perfect brown hair, shining dark eyes and a killer smile packed with shiny white teeth! And his muscles…not too scrawny and not too bulky…they were just right!
…
GAH! What am I saying!?
I covered my mouth with my hand in an attempt to hide my blush and glared at him. He was even more gorgeous than I was!
He smirked at me. “Thanks, but I don’t go for guys.” He snaked his arm around Sakura’s waist and pulled her face close to his.
I finally lost it. I punched him in the face, sending him flying. He whacked the wall really hard, knocking down all the paintings that were hung there.
“Get out of Eriol’s body, you fag!” I shouted, pointing at him. “Dirt bags like you don’t deserve a body better than mine, or even anywhere close to mine!”
“What?” he asked, blinking. Then he recovered himself. “Heh. It takes a true shock to get me out of a host body. A pathetic throw like that wouldn’t be able to do it even if I was your grandma.”
I clenched my teeth together, trying to think of a way to shock him. I looked at Sakura. Then it clicked. I know!
I walked over to Sakura and kissed her suddenly. When I released her, she blinked. “Syaoran?”
“As much as it pains me, since she is your girlfriend, it’s not much of a shock for me to see you kiss her,” Yuhi sighed. “Sorry.”
I bit my lip, desperately trying to come up with a plan to get Eriol back. I looked at Yuhi, then Sakura. Hmmm…oh crap. The one thing I could come up with was…
I gripped the collar of his shirt and picked him up. In Eriol’s body, my legs were longer than by the smallest bit.
And then, I scarred myself, and everyone else in the room, for that matter, for life. I kissed him.
That did it. He blinked a few times, reddening and totally disgusted. He tried to stutter out something, but couldn’t. He knelt on the ground and shivered. Meanwhile, I’m trying not to barf.
“NOOOO!!!” Yuhi’s sudden outburst made everyone jump. I looked back at him. “MY LIPS TOUCHED ANOTHER MAN! AHHH!!”
“Will you shut up!?” I shouted. “I should be the one crying--I actually have a girlfriend! And yet I still kissed you! Ugghhh….”
All of a sudden, a white light burst from him. I jumped in front of Sakura. She hugged my back, and I enjoyed her warmth.
When the light died down, Eriol’s body was leaning against the wall.
I threw the salt shaker at him, not sure if Yuhi had left his body.
His eyes slowly opened. I took a deep breath.
“Ughh…my head hurts…” he said, raising his hand to his forehead. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open wider. “Hey! That guy--he ripped open my arm and then somehow he got into my body--I don’t know what happened after that! How long has it been…?! What did he do while he was in my body?! But, wow he was sexy…”
“Eriol!!” Tomoyo flew by me, into his arms. “I’m so glad you’re back!”
After spitting out strands of Tomoyo’s hair, he asked, “So what exactly happened?”
“Some guy named Yuhi, the sexy guy that took over your body, he was sent here by the Kiyoi Guardians--”
“Uhm, what?” he butted in, confused.
I sighed. We were going to have to explain it to him from the beginning.

“You…did WHAT to me?!” Eriol’s eye twitched when I told him I kissed him.
“Yep! I think he liked it!” Kazushi was enjoying himself…a lot. The girls were giggling in the corner, too.
“Um, yeah, anyway,” I said, coughing to hide my embarrassment. “We’re basically back at square one with where to start looking for them.”
“Oh, did we forget to mention?” Meiling came over and ripped something off the back of my head. “Yuhi left a note on the back of your head.”
“I know. I was just keeping it there because it feels good to have paper taped to the back of my head,” I said sarcastically. “What does it say?”
“ ‘Dear Syaoran Li,’” Meiling read out. “ ‘You will pay for kissing me. I am forever scarred emotionally. Sakura deserves someone much better than you…me. Anyway, because I want to see dear Sakura again sooner, I will tell you where we are waiting. We are waiting on the top of the cliff where you lost your memory, the sakura orchard. You will have to look past it to get to us, though… Sakura’s love, Yuhi Amano.’ ”
“That--rrgh!” Eriol growled. “I want to go there just to punch him in the face!!”
“We’ll go there first thing tomorrow,” Kazushige said. “I must inform my father first.”
“Argeed,” I sighed. “I need to try and forget this whole thing.”
Sakura came up behind and rested her head on my shoulder. “I’ll help you,” she whispered.
“Just hit him in the face with a cinder block!”
I shivered. I knew that voice--!!
“Toya!” Sakura exclaimed.
“Hey, squirt,” Toya said, smiling. “Sorry I took so long to come back! I had a meeting in Youkai and--”
“You’re shirt’s kind of unbuttoned,” Tomoyo said, cutting him off.
Toya blushed, looking down at his shirt. “Uhh…”
“Toya!” Yukito came rushing into the room. “You suddenly ran off on me--oh. Hey, guys, we’re back!”
Tomoyo smirked. “I guess you dumped Kaho for Yukito?”
Toya blushed and looked away. “Well…I-it kind of just happened…ah-shut up! Can we talk about what we came to talk about?!”
“Oh, uh, yeah!” Sakura said, laughing nervously. “You guys can stay here tonight; we’re going to face them tomorrow.”
Toya smiled. “Well then, I came at the right time, didn’t I? In time for the action!”
“You mean being an over-protective brother who doesn’t want his little sister to get hurt in battle?” Yukito added, smiling.
“Do you always have to ruin my moments, Yuki?” he asked, sighing. Yukito chuckled.
I was frozen in place, thinking that if I stayed really still, he wouldn’t notice me.
“I-see-you-” he was suddenly in my ear.
“Waugh!” I jumped back quickly. He gave me an evil smile.
“Aw, you’re still afraid of me?” he asked. His smile was innocent and pure enough, but I felt the hatred oozing off of him.
“How could he not be!?” Eriol squeaked.
“Eriol, you should really learn to keep your mouth shut…” Tomoyo sighed, shaking her head.
Toya turned around slowly and glared at Eriol.
“Eeeeek!!” And, routinely, Eriol hid behind Tomoyo.
“Ahaha…I’ll tell the maids to prepare you two beds,” Sakura said, getting up.
