"Eriol…" A sweet warm voice murmured.

It was evening, the stars twinkling brightly in the sinister heavens, enlightening it. The moon shone its fullest, giving out more luminosity than all the other little fragments of light. Two figures stood near each other on one the Hiiragizawa mansion's balcony overseeing the downtown lights of England.

The owner of the voice, a very attractive red haired, wrapped her arms around the handsome young man beside her. The cool evening breeze swept through them causing her to shiver.

"Is it too cold?" A deep calming voice asked.

"You worry too much Hiiragizawa Eriol." The woman murmured.

"Why wouldn't I?" Eriol asked, as his glasses reflected in the moonlight, "It's not my fault that Kaho Mizuki is prone to every known virus in the universe. Very soon, you'll be mine and mine only."

Eriol planted a soft, but passionate kiss on her forehead. Kaho smiled in response as she held her right hand up the air, staring at the diamond ring in her finger.

"We're engaged at last." She said breathlessly as Eriol grabbed her hand and wrapped hers around his.

"You're still leaving for Japan tomorrow?"

She faced him with a playful expression and planted a kiss on his nose, "Of course silly. I have to inform my parents that I'm engaged to the best man ever."

"Kaho. Are you sure you want to leave alone?"

"Shh…" She laid a finger over his lips, hushing him, "We already talked about this. You can't leave remember? Don't you have important meetings that day?"

Eriol Hiiragizawa is the young possessor of the Hiiragizawa Corporation. In the young age of twenty-one he completely inherited the wealth of both his parents. Since then, he'd been busy: meetings, arrangements, contracts and managing filled his work schedule. But even though he was young, he managed not only to do these things but also raised the net worth of the whole company itself in a very high percentage.

Kaho Mizuki, in the other hand is Eriol's fiancé.

"Well yeah," Eriol admitted, "But still, I can't let you leave alone."

"Eriol Hiiragizawa." Kaho said firmly with slight authority, "I'll be alright. You're my fiancé not my guardian."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Eriol squeezed her hand, "Come back safe okay?"

Kaho faced him and smiled as she tiptoed and kissed his lips tenderly. It lingered for awhile and soon they broke it. Eriol felt it wasn't enough for him. So, Eriol let her hand go as he threw it in her hair wrapping his other hand around her. Eriol gave her a deeper, more passionate kiss.

"I'll come back safe, I promise."

"Father!" A melodious voice cried.

That very same evening, Hiroshi Daidoji, a very wealthy but very busy business man arrived home. Tomoyo Daidoji, his beautiful daughter who is now a successful fashion designer, stood in the mansion's entrance. Her pale face glowed under the full moon, with a heart warming smile pasted on her face. Her amethyst eyes danced in pure bliss.

Hiroshi met up with her after a couple of steps, "Tomoyo darling."

"Mom's waiting at the dining room." Tomoyo beamed, "My birthday is coming up."

"Yeah." Hiroshi said softly, "Twenty one this year, am I right?"

Tomoyo nodded, "Uh-huh."

The father and daughter entered the extravagant mansion, being greeted by many home keepers along the way. Both chatted happily about their days as they headed to the dining room. One of the rooms of the right wing of the mansion is where the dining room is located. Tomoyo and Hiroshi entered the dining room together.

Crystal chandeliers hung in the ceiling, illuminating the room with bright light. The huge circular antique dining table was exactly in the middle, with expensive lace silk draped over it. A royal blue table runner ran through the table from end to end. A crystal candle holder is located in the middle of the table, all five candles lit.

Sonomi Daidoji is already seated on her seat, waving happily at both her husband and her daughter. Hiroshi and Tomoyo headed toward her. Tomoyo sat down next to her mother while Hiroshi kissed Sonomi in the forehead before taking a seat in the other side. A few minutes passed; soon the kitchen maid served dinner.

"The toy company opened new shops in Europe." Sonomi proudly announced, "How's Solitary Designs and the holdings?"

Tomoyo grinned, "Well, Solitary Designs has a new line up of clothes this month."

A cell phone rang then, Tomoyo and Sonomi looked at Hiroshi, who flipped his phone on, accepting the call. It was a short conversation, but it doesn't look like a good one. Hiroshi's actions already predicted what the call was for.

"So who is it?" Sonomi asked.

"It's Jiro Hayashi, the manager of the company branches in Japan." Hiroshi explained, "He was asking if I could be there for a very important meeting. I have to leave tomorrow."

"But…my birthday…" Tomoyo muttered sadly, carefully dropping the fork and knife on her plate, "You missed last year's birthday father, why can't you be here this time?"

"I'm sorry darling." Hiroshi had hints of guilt on his voice, "I don't control things going on the company internationally. If they need me in one place, I have to show up or it's a great loss."

Tomoyo forced a smile, "Oh well, It can't be helped. I understand father, I know how busy you are. Sorry for my selfishness."

"No it's not that." Hiroshi thought for awhile, "Well, I remember he said only one meeting."

"Huh?"

"I don't have to stay there for so long." Hiroshi clarified, "I could be home for your birthday darling, no doubt about that."

"That's great to hear." Sonomi clapped her hands, "So what do you think Tomoyo?"

"Promise?" She held out her pinky, while Hiroshi grinned and wrapped his to hers.

"Yeah, I promise."
