Chapter One: Reminiscence

Tomoyo had arrived at Japan at last. A wry smile form from her lips as she breathed in the air of Japan. It has been three years since she haven't return here. Her mother wanted her to study in Paris to know all about designing some gowns. She told her Mom that she wanted to put up a boutique someday that's why when she graduated from high school, her mother told her she'll study in Paris. Her mother told her she had a friend there who can help her about fashion designing. As much as she doesn't want to leave, she had to. Leave Japan and leave the people she loves the most. Suddenly, a blue-eyed boy appeared in her mind. The boy that she loves the most even if three years had passed.

"I wonder if he already had a love one", she thought as her bodyguards saw her and took her bags.

"Welcome back Ojou-sama", one of her bodyguards said as she opened the door for her Mistress. Tomoyo nodded with a smile.

"It's good to be back Ai", Tomoyo said as she went into the car.

"Your mother is waiting in the mansion, Ojou-sama", Ai added. Tomoyo nodded.

"Arigatou, Ai", she replied as Ai closed the door. Tomoyo sighed as she rested her head on the back of the seat. The radio was turned on as she heard the DJ, who is a girl, on the radio, saying something.

So how are you guys doing? It's a good thing the weather is fine today. It's a sunny Sunday after all.

Tomoyo was busy watching the scenery of her hometown. Cherry blossoms falling to the ground. How she missed Japan very much.

Anyway guys, here's a song for you-Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. Enjoy the song and enjoy your Sunday. This song is been requested lately. I wonder if these people are broken hearted. Kidding! Well enjoy the song!

Tomoyo snapped back from reality when she heard the DJ said that. "Oh no. Not Bleeding Love", she thought as she sulks in her seat. "Memories flooded back whenever I hear that song". The musical started just when Tomoyo thought what happened three years ago.

Flashback

Eriol came back to Japan when they were in first year high school. They couldn't believe that he came back after two years later. Tomoyo wasn't even paying attention to their teacher that time because she was drawing some dresses at the back of her notebook. When she gets bored, she gets her notebook and drew.

"He's a new student from England. I think some of the old students know him when he was in grade five. He is Eriol Hiiragizawa", Terada said, introducing him to the class. When Tomoyo heard that, she looked up from her seat.

"Hajimemashite minna-san", the blue-haired boy said and bowed to them. Some gasped and some girls were giggling. Terada was looking for a seat for him.

"Ah, you may seat right next to Daidouji-san, Hiiragizawa-kun. You knew Tomoyo Daidouji right?" Terada said. Eriol didn't look at Terada and his sapphire eyes were fixed at Tomoyo's.

"Hai sensei. I knew Daidouji-san when we were in grade five", he replied.

"I'm sure you haven't forgotten Sakura Kinomoto and the others", their teacher replied. Eriol's eyes looked at Sakura who was seated at the front of Tomoyo.

"Iie, I haven't forgotten my classmates in fifth grade", he said. Sakura smiled at him. Eriol smiled back.

"That's good to hear. You may seat right next to Daidouji-san", Terada added. Eriol nodded in reply.

"Hai sensei", Eriol said as he walked to where Tomoyo was. She was looking at him-he was handsome now, even wearing those glasses. His complexion the same with hers-it was pale. But what she likes the most is his blue eyes. Sapphire eyes.

"Long time no see-Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo-san", he greeted.

"Long time no see", Sakura and Syaoran greeted back. It took some time for Tomoyo to greet back. Sakura hit her elbow lightly.

"A-Anou…it's good to see you again…Hiiragizawa-kun", Tomoyo replied, her cheeks flushing. Sakura and Syaoran chuckled as Eriol sat next to her.

"You may call me Eriol, Tomoyo. I don't mind", he said gently. Her face was still flushing as she immediately looked away.

"O-Okay then…E-Eriol-kun…"she didn't saw his smile on his face.

"Arigatou".

~*~*~*~*~

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain

Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain

Time starts to pass before you know it you're frozen

~*~*~*~*~

Tomoyo sighed remembering that first encounter with him. She was so shy with him that time. She didn't even know why. She wasn't close with Eriol after all. But fate had a plan so that she and Eriol could be close. They were classmates from first year to fourth year high school. And that's the time she's been infatuated with her closest friend.

~*~*~*~*~

But something happened for the very first time with you

My heart melted to the ground, found something true

And everyone's looking around, thinking I'm going crazy

~*~*~*~*~

She knew she was in love with him, yes she was. It was only him she could think of every night. But she knew she could never capture his heart the way he captured hers. She remembered that scene when she told him she had fallen in love with him. She doesn't want to remember that scene but it suddenly appeared in her mind.

~*~*~*~*~

But I don't care what they say; I'm in love with you

They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth

My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

~*~*~*~*~

They were in fourth year high school already and still her feelings didn't fade. They were walking home from school. Sakura and Syaoran went ahead since Eriol and Tomoyo were cleaners. Tomoyo was gripping her bag, her hands were turning cold. She was at the back of Eriol when Eriol noticed she was walking very slowly. He turned around and asked, "Something wrong?" she looked at him and looked away. She realized, she stopped walking and Eriol went to her.

"Nandemonai", she replied. Eriol rolled his eyes on what she said.

"I've known you for four years and you can't fool me Tomoyo, you know that", Eriol said. Tomoyo sighed, still not looking at him.

"I told you it's nothing", she said again and resumed walking. When she passed by him, he grabbed her hand. She turned to him, her cheeks flushing. "E-Eriol-kun?"

"Please tell me what's on your mind. You don't look like you are okay", he replied. He released her hand as she was still looking at the ground.

"I don't want you to get angry".

"I won't be angry at you. Not in a million years", he said with a grin. She gave a wry smile and bit her bottom lip.

"You wouldn't like this but somehow I couldn't keep it anymore". Eriol went closer to her and smoothened her cheek using the back of his hand.

"What is it?" he asked, softly. Too softly that she could feel her heart is breaking. Because she know who he really loves but still she wanted to tell him that she had already been in love with him for four years already.

"Eriol-kun, I…I…"she was groping for words. Words that wouldn't come out of her mouth. And he was so gentle, it was breaking her heart. "I don't want to lose you", she thought. "But I wanted to tell you".

"Tomoyo, its okay if you can't tell it to me right now-"

"I love you", she immediately blurted. Eriol was taken aback on what she said. "For a long time already".

Tomoyo closed her eyes, not wanting to recall his words. But she did. She could never forget the words he told her that day she confessed to him.

"I'm sorry Tomoyo. But I'm still in love with Kaho".

~*~*~*~*~

You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open

~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo closed her eyes and covered it with her right hand. Her tears were falling. She was crying silently. She knew he could never love him back because his heart belongs to Kaho-always to her. She wonders if there'll come a time she'll capture his heart the way he captures hers.

A sarcastic smile was on her lips while listening to the rest of the song. She'll never forget the song Bleeding Love because she told him personally she remembers him whenever that song is played. But that was the time when she didn't told him she loves him.

"Damn that song", she muttered as she heard the refrain of the song again. She let the music take her away.
