Eriol is half the reincarnation of clow reed, yes only half. Poor guy he must have splited himself. Eriol created ruby moon/Nakuru and spinel sun. He is a transfer student just like Li but Eriol is from England. He is great friends with Zachery because...hehehe this is funny, He lies just like Zachery they have that thing in common. Zachery starts teh lie and Eriol continues it, perfect lying couple. Li has no idea that Eriol is a reincarnation of clow reed and the first impreesion Li gets from Eriol is a bad one. Wanna know why?
Eriol has gentle eyes, he is really nice to Sakura, he kissed her hand so Li got jealous, thats why Li hates him so much. Li was about to leave that day but I guess after he saw that he decided he'd better stay, and the best part is at this point Li already found out that he likes Sakura.......not as friend, the next step ^_~
