Author's Notes: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.

It's been six years yet Eriol Hiiragizawa hadn't come back. Tomoyo Daidouji is a fourth year student in college...yet loveless. Many guys have confessed their love for the lovely lass but she got nothing to do but turn them down. Why? She is still hoping and waiting for Eriol. She had told herself many times that she is stupid and she had to move on. But her stupid heart also cries for Eriol name and for Eriol only. And now that they are in college they are very busy for their graduation since the fourth periodical test is over. And Tomoyo is also very busy because she is one of the people who will present in their graduation. To play the guitar and sing a song. It was also dismissal as she was done practicing and she had seen that Sakura and Syaoran we're waiting for her. "Hi Tomoyo! How's the practice?" Sakura said.

"Fine! I love playing the guitar", Tomoyo replied. What she didn't know is there's a surprise.

"We had a surprise for you", Syaoran said. Sakura and Syaoran stepped aside and Tomoyo was shock who she saw...it was Eriol. Then she chuckled. "What's so funny?"

"I don't believe you guys it's Eriol. He'll never come back. I bet Sakura you're using the mirror card".

"Nani? Of course not!" Sakura said. "Why should I? Tomoyo use your brain...if I use the mirror card to disguise her as Eriol I will just hurt you right? I'm not like that".

"Yes Sakura-san is right", Eriol said. Tomoyo was shock to hear that. It isn't really the mirror card. "Why won't you come to my house for a while so that you'll believe me?" she was about to protest but Sakura had dragged her.

'He's not lying', Tomoyo thought as they arrived at Eriol's house. 'Nakuru and Spinel Sun are here'. They sat down on the sofa as Nakuru was serving them some snacks.

"It's nice to see you again. Miss Sakura and Mr. Syaoran!"

"Uh...just call me Syaoran, Nakuru", Syaoran said as he began to eat.

"Okay then". Then Nakuru's eyes turned to Tomoyo. "Kami-sama! Miss Tomoyo you're here!"

"Yes because I wanted to believe", Tomoyo eyes turned to Eriol. "That Eriol had really come back and it's not the mirror card".

"Of course he will! He promised that didn't he?" Nakuru asked. Tomoyo shrugged.

"I don't know. I forgot". They all sighed to that. If they're not wrong there's a tension in the air. "I'll go out for a while".

"Are you not going to eat?" her cousin said.

"I'm not hungry. I'm tired from practice", she replied as she went to the garden. Then all eyes turned to Eriol.

"Nani?"

"Are you just going to stand there?" Syaoran asked.

"W-What do you mean?"

"FOLLOW HER!" they all said. Eriol sweat dropped and does what they said.

"Fine, fine", he said as he went to where Tomoyo is.

Eriol saw Tomoyo in the garden deep in thought. He wanted to scare her as he went to her back and closed her eyes. "Guess who?" he heard a sigh.

"Hiiragizawa-kun", was the lame reply. He let go of his hands which we're covering her eyes as she looked at him. "You shouldn't have done that".

"And why not?" Eriol asked with a grin.

"Coz' I'm not a kid anymore so don't treat me as one!" she replied, sticking her tongue out then turned her back on him. She doesn't feel like talking to him. He sighed and placed his hand on her shoulder as he let her turned to him. But he was shocked to see her tears. "Not a word. Don't you dare!"

"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to leave you-"

"Didn't mean?!" she exclaimed. "Like didn't you know? That I easily forgave you and you didn't even notice why I was in the airport? I want to say I've forgave you but...you left". He didn't want to leave after all but he knows if he convinced Tomoyo that kiss was a mistake it will really took some time. So what he did the most painful thing of all is to leave her. He grabbed her arms as he pulled her close.

"I'm really sorry and I mean it", Eriol said in a husky tone. She really wanted to believe but she doesn't want to be fooled again. Then she noticed her black car.

"I need to go. Bye", Tomoyo said as she left his arms. He looked at her with a sigh.

"Tomoyo!" Eriol called. She turned to him and she had wiped her tears. "Will I ever see you again? Will you allow me to?"

"Maybe", she replied as she went in her car. The driver even noticed his Master was crying.

"Are you okay my lady?" he asked as they drove away.

"Yes", she said as she started crying. "I will be fine. Don't worry". But the truth is she wasn't...and never will be.

Another class day and Tomoyo was sitting on her seat. Alone again. Ever since Eriol had left her she always feels she's alone. Even though her friends are there. 'Oh Tomoyo! Stop thinking of that baka! You'll never know...what if he's lying again'. As their teacher went in he had announced something.

"Class Eriol Hiiragizawa will be here in our school. He'll be helping with our graduation stuff because he had graduated already in England which means they we're advance. So let's welcome him and besides he had some friends here".

'WHAT?!' Tomoyo thought. She can't believe this! Eriol was there standing tall. But it struck him when Tomoyo doesn't know what day is today.

'She doesn't know it's my birthday today', Eriol thought as he went to a vacant seat. 'Oh well...she's still invited'.

Sakura could hear a guitar being strummed by someone. Of course she already knows who that person is. She peeped first inside of the music room to see her best friend playing the guitar. 'She is not singing the lyrics' Sakura thought as she went inside. "Hi Tomoyo!" Tomoyo had stopped playing her guitar as she smiled lovingly at her best friend.

"Hi Sakura!"

"You're not singing the lyrics. Nanda yo?" she asked as she sat down beside her. Tomoyo played again.

"I'm practicing first the chords. I'll sing with the lyrics later", her best friend replied.

"Got something to tell you".

"Fire away".

"I-It's Eriol-kun's birthday today". Suddenly Tomoyo stopped playing the guitar and looked at Sakura, shocked. "You're invited at his house today".

"I don't have a plan to go anyway", Tomoyo said frankly, playing again the guitar.

"Tomoyo! Don't overact on little things! You had to go there!"

"Demo-"

"NO BUTS!" Tomoyo sighed. "You had to go there". Sakura stood up and decided to leave. "Be there at six in the evening. We'll wait for you". Then she left. Tomoyo finally groaned and she couldn't believe it's her ex's-birthday today. She placed her guitar back to its casing then decided maybe to buy a gift.

"Damn! I'm going to go home late today", Tomoyo muttered as she went out of the music room as she bought her guitar".

Tomoyo had bought the gift as she arrived at Eriol's house at six exactly. Eriol was the one who opened the door. "Otanjobi omedetou Eriol-kun". Tomoyo greeted as she gave her gift to him. Eriol smiled and her face was beginning to flush.

"Thanks Tomoyo-san. I see you're calling me by my first name", Eriol began. She didn't answer but her blushing do the talking. "Anyway come inside".

"Arigatou gozaimasu", she said. She had seen her classmates inside his house.

"Tomoyo!" Sakura exclaimed. Tomoyo chuckled to hear Sakura's voice. Then Sakura hugged her. "I know you would come".

"I don't want to disappoint you".

"Or him", Sakura teased. Tomoyo just rolled her eyes in disagreement. "Anyway you had to eat. Come on. You must be very hungry".

"Very", Tomoyo added as they went to the table.

It's seven and Eriol and his friends we're drinking beer. Of course Tomoyo is also drinking. And it's the third glass. She was beginning to get dizzy. But actually she doesn't talk to people if they don't want to talk to her. She didn't even talk to Sakura. And Sakura noticed her cousin is drunk. "You okay Tomoyo?" Sakura asked as she went to her. Tomoyo stood up but she almost fall. "Hey careful!" she said as she catch her.

"I-I think I'm drunk", Tomoyo began, massaging her temple.

"Maybe you are", Sakura called Eriol. "Eriol!" and immediately the birthday boy went near them.

"What happened here?" Eriol asked, VERY concerned of her.

"She's drunk. Take her home".

"But I don't want to go home!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"See? Told you!"

"Right don't worry Sakura I'll take her home", Eriol said as he carried Tomoyo to his car.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME!" Tomoyo exclaimed inside Eiol's car.

"You're drunk! And you need to go home before something bad will happen to you", Eriol said, ignoring her screaming.

"I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME! WHY JUST CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME LIKE WHAT YOU DID BEFORE?!" Eriol stopped the car coz' they have arrived at her house. He looked at her almost annoyed.

"Tomoyo you know I don't want to that!" Eriol said, almost angry. "Sorry I was just carried away". He unbuckled his seatbelt then he crossed over her and unbuckled hers. "I'll take you to your house", he added as he went out of his car. So did Tomoyo. But Tomoyo is getting dizzier as she was about to fall. But her knight and shining armor is always there. "Tomoyo!"

"Ouch my head really hurts", Tomoyo muttered. She was wrapped by strong arms and as she look up he saw Eriol. She straightened her position.

"Just tell me if you're not okay".

"Don't worry I'm fine". She looked at his eyes and begins to flush again. "Tell me I'm still drunk".

"Maybe", Eriol replied. "It doesn't matter coz'", he bend over a little. "It's been so long since I held you this way".
