Chapter 1 – Stupid Baka
"Show-off," Tomoyo muttered under her breath. Eriol Hiiragizawa, the world's biggest show-off and flirt. Nobody thought that of him except for herself. Everyone else was smitten by his 'charm'. Everyone, consisting of the Eriol Fan Club, the whole teaching staff of Seijou High and even her own mother! Quote, What a charming young man, end of quote, her mother had said after meeting Eriol during a concert. He must've put a spell on Tomoeda, a 'everyone-loves-Eriol' spell most probably.
There he was, the pompous jerk. Waving and bowing to the spectators after he scored the winning point for the Seijou Basketball Team in their match against rival school, Todai High. The crowd was going ballastic over the victory; screaming, shouting, cheering. A picture of total chaos.
'Why him??' she thought desperately, 'Why not Syaoran-kun?? Takashi-kun?? Of all people, he had to be the one to score.'
"Ugh!!" Tomoyo shouted out. She looked over to where Eriol was and saw him being carried off by his team-mates.
She stood up from the bleachers and stamped over to Sakura who was following the team out of the arena. "At the rate he's grinning, his face'll crack in no time," she hissed to the cheerleaders.
"Wh-," Chiharu asked but stopped short when she saw Tomoyo blasting daggers at light speed at Eriol, "Oh".
All the cheerleaders looked at one another blankly, then burst out laughing.

Eriol saunted into school the next morning, trailing behind him were mobs of love-sick admirers. Tomoyo rolled her eyes at the sight and was about to escape before he could see her. "Daidouji-san!" Eriol shouted.
'Too late,' Tomoyo thought turning around reluctantly. "Yes, Hiiragizawa-kun?" She asked in her most patient tone.
"You dropped something," Eriol stated and flicked a small box in her direction, "I gather you'll be needing it after school or something."
Tomoyo caught the package and studied it. She started blushing uncontrollably and retorted fiercely, "I will NOT be needing condoms anytime soon!" and threw the packet back to Eriol.
"However," Tomoyo replied calming down, scrutinizing Eriol from head to toe, "I can see that you have used one just before coming to school this morning,". With that, Tomoyo turned on her heels and stalked off.
Everyone looked at Eriol. His hair was messy, his shirt untucked and his tie was hanging loosely from the collar. Onlookers in the hallway erupted into laughter while the Eriol Fan Clubbers shot dirty looks at them. Flustered, Eriol stomped off to class.

Rumours spread quickly, but in Seijou, they spread at the speed of cheetahs. Even before Tomoyo reached the classroom, almost all her classmates knew about what happened earlier at the hallway.
"Tomoyo-chan! You really pulled a good one this time!" said Sakura as Tomoyo sat down.
"Hai, you should've seen his face. Priceless," Tomoyo laughed and the rest of the girls started giggling while the guys snickered. The class adruptly stopped laughing as Eriol stepped in.
Syaoran stood up and gave Eriol a pat on the back, "Hiiragizawa, how was your morning? Hot and steamy I'd say." And the class burst into another round of laughter.
Eriol gave him a death glare and growled, "Shut up."
'That Daidouji is going to pay,' thought Eriol gritting his teeth.

The next day came and was oddly peaceful. Eriol wasn't bothering Tomoyo anymore. 'Something's up,' thought Tomoyo, eyeing Eriol suspiciously. She walked out of the classroom with Sakura and went to their lockers. "Sakura-chan, Hiiragizawa is planning something. He hasn't irritated me since morning," Tomoyo said.
"Maybe he finally gave up on you?" Sakura replied hopefully.
"Maybe," Tomoyo said as she opened her locker. *Splash* Tomoyo was drenched in freezing cold water. A bucket hanging in the locker, there was a deadly silence in the hallway as Tomoyo recovered from the shock.
"I see that you've had a nice cold shower," commented Eriol who was leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face.
"Hai, I have. By the way, how did you know the water was cold Hiiragizawa-kun?" Tomoyo asked menacingly.
Eriol was caught off-guard at Tomoyo's remark and stiffened visibly, enough for Tomoyo to confirm that he was the one who had put that bucket in her locker. "I see," she said without waiting for his reply, walked over with the remains of the cold water and poured it over Eriol's head. She dropped the bucket onto the floor and stalked out of school, a bewildered Eriol staring after her.

'She did it again,' Eriol thought furiously. Tomoyo Daidouji was getting on his nerves. 'How could a mere woman, no, a mere GIRL prove to be as clever as the most powerful sorceror on earth?!'
"I think you've met your match Eriol-sama," snickered Akizuki Nakuru, an amused Spinel Sun perched on her shoulder.
"How many times must I tell you NOT to read my mind!" Eriol hissed.
"Ooh, Master's in a bad mood," Nakuru said in a sing-song voice and ran out of Eriol's study before he lost his temper.
"ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
'That stupid baka of a sorceror! Why can't he just leave me alone?! Argh,' thought Tomoyo. "ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!" she screamed out loud, rattling the usually quiet Daidouji mansion.

Meanwhile in Sakura's house...
"Ano, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked, dropping her pen.
"Hai?"
"Is it me or did I just hear Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun screaming?"
"I heard it too..."
"Oh," shrugging, Sakura picked up her pen and went back to work.
