'WHOLE' Summary: Eriol and Tomoyo are the best of friends since Sakura and Syaoran went and married in Hong Kong. Tomoyo, at the age of 21, is a designer—a famous one— and an heiress of the wealth of Daidouji and Amamiya family. Eriol, the reincarnation of the greatest mage Clow Reed, in the age of 22 is a wealthy and successful businessman but a stubborn one too. They help each other in times of need.
'As time goes by, Eriol developed a very intimate feeling for his bestfriend. Tomoyo, however, remains oblivious of his feelings for her and kept herself busy with work. One night, Eriol gather up all of his courage he has to propose to Tomoyo his feelings. Luckily for him, Tomoyo feels the same way and agreed with his proposal to be his girlfriend. Also that night, they got so 'carried' away and engaged into a pre-marital sex. Tomoyo feels uncomfortable at what they have done causing so much trouble to Eriol that he proposes to her to marry him. They are to be married in six months if Tomoyo's not pregnant; and three months if she is truly pregnant. It turns out that Tomoyo is pregnant with a boy and Eriol is over-thrilled.
When their child is five years old, Eriol decided to teach him how to control his magic and put it in good use. Somehow, Riko, their child, engaged in many absurd troubles and that's how the story goes on…
There are a lot of secrets to be unfolding so watch out for the trouble-maker Riko Hiiragizawa.
CHAPTER 1
"Eriol-kun, do you mind getting in here? I need some help." Daidouji Tomoyo said while balancing stacks of folders. She's talking with her bestfriend on the phone.
"I'm on my way there actually." Eriol chuckled on the other line. "What kind of help do you need?"
"Business matters." Tomoyo replied, "Lots of help."
"Oh okay. I'll be there immediately."
"How long would I wait?" Tomoyo asked mischievously.
"Five seconds?" Eriol suggested.
"Okay. Time starts now…5…4…3…2…1…times up, Eriol-kun!" she said then turned to her back. "You're right in time!"
"I wonder what you'll do if you don't have a friend like me?" Eriol heaved out a sigh as he gets the load off Tomoyo.
"What will I do if I have no magic-user friend? Well, I'll have no friend anymore. Most of my friends are magic-users." Tomoyo giggled.
"That's true but what about the others?" Eriol inquired as he placed the folders on Tomoyo's table.
"I've lost contact with some of them and some are not here." Tomoyo said. "Do you mind helping me design some more dresses? You've got a good taste with clothes."
"I won't mind as long as you're keeping me away from those horrible meetings." Eriol stated.
"Horrible meetings?" Tomoyo exclaimed. "Let me guess…Eriol-kun's been running away with his 'horrible meetings' at the time being, am I wrong?"
"You're most definitely right. I don't want to attend those meetings anymore." Eriol said as he slouched at Tomoyo's large purple chair and put his hand at the back of his head in a lazy manner. "It's boring in there."
"Why did you enter this business anyway?"
"Just wanna test what it like is." Eriol answered. "Do you want me to help you or not?"
"Okay, let's start now." Tomoyo said and they started designing casual clothing. "What an Immature bestfriend." She muttered.
"Oi, I've heard that."
"That's all! Domo arigato gozaimasu Eriol-kun!" Tomoyo gratefully shakes Eriol's hand with a bright smile plastered on her beautiful face making her amethyst eyes twinkle. "You did a great job. Look at all of this, it's……it's…" Tomoyo searched for appropriate words.
"Sugoi?" Eriol suggested knowingly.
"SUGOIIIIII!" Tomoyo squealed.
"Now, now, can you please calm down? You're shaking this building already." Eriol said sarcastically. "And you will surely treat me after that job well done 'coz I'm sure the meeting is still on."
"Absolutely!" Tomoyo giggled. "You've save from a long head-smashing, brain-whacking, tiring day."
Eriol sweatdropped, "That's an overstated sentence."
"It's an understatement!" Tomoyo complained childishly.
"Look who's being immature. Daidouji Tomoyo, heiress of the Daidouji-Amamiya wealth and infamous designer, is acting like a child." Eriol said in a sing-song voice.
"At least I'm not running from important business meetings." Tomoyo said starting a battle. They call this the verbal battle. '?'
"Who called me asking for some help?" Eriol said.
"You accepted it gradually." Tomoyo said.
"Yeah and I thought of it as 'some help' but I actually got to do the whole work all by myself." Eriol said.
"Hey! I just have no idea what will I design." Tomoyo said bringing her arms on her hips. I need to think of something. Quick!
"Figures that my dear, Tomoyo-chan, don't have anything to say now." Eriol smirked.
"I am NOT!" Tomoyo pouted.
"Yes you ARE!" Eriol smirked even more.
"No, I'm not." Tomoyo said quite annoyed.
"YES"
"NOT!"
"Y-E-S"
"NOT!"
"YES"
"NOT!"
"Not." Eriol grinned.
"YES!" Tomoyo slapped her face. "Ugh! You master of trickery!"
"That's what I am!" Eriol grinned.
"Stop it! We're aiming at nothing!" Tomoyo said.
"So you're running from the fact that you don't have anything to say anymore." Eriol said with Tomoyo glaring at him. "Let's go get some food now! I'm freaking hungry." He looked at his wristwatch, "it's already 7 pm. If you're not going to treat me, I'm the one who'll treat you."
"Fine." Tomoyo responded with a pout.
They are dining in a fancy restaurant that has private rooms for meetings. They got a room for them and they chatted while waiting for their orders.
"I forgot to tell you that I'll go to Paris tomorrow. I need to handle the branch of our toy company there." Tomoyo said in a conversational tone.
"So?" Eriol raised one of his brows.
"Could you manage my business here for awhile? Approximately 1 month." Tomoyo almost pleaded to her bestfriend.
"Why? That's your business and besides I have my company's meetings to attend to." Eriol said certainly.
"I'm only asking for a month, please Eriol-kun?" Tomoyo said, now with puppy dog eyes, "I only need you to take over of my business here for a month over a year of my stay there. Please, Eriol-kun? With cherries on top—"
"A YEAR? What do you mean by a year?" Eriol exclaimed, making the waiter with their food jump with surprise. He lowered his voice, "You'll leave for a year? What the hell will you do in there? That's too much of time."
"Don't mind the year but the business you'll manage for a month. What I'll do there for a year is none of the business of the smartass bestfriend of mine. Now calm down before you scare the hell out of the poor waiter." Tomoyo scolded.
"I don't really mind taking care of your business here but why so sudden and so long?" Eriol grumbled.
"Need to manage Amamiya-Daidouji properties." Tomoyo said before eating her food.
"That long?" Eriol ask disbelievingly. "I don't really believe that it will take that long."
"Plus vacation." Tomoyo said nonchalantly, "Eat now. I thought your 'freaking hungry'." She said mimicking him.
"You can go back here after the vacation and I'll tour you there. I've been there." Eriol suggested.
"No, no, no, no, decision is final and case closed." Tomoyo said.
Eriol pouted.
(Let's skip!)
"I wonder where that blue boy is." Tomoyo said as she looked around the airport. She just arrives from her business and vacation in Paris. Now she's looking for her bestfriend. Somebody patted her shoulder.
"Tomoyo-chan," Eriol said as he whirled around his bestfriend with a happy grin. "Welcome back home!"
"Eriol-kun, how are you?" Tomoyo asked after Eriol put her down.
"I'm fine." Eriol said. "Let's go. You got a lot to tell me later."
"Okay!"
"So what did you do there in Paris, Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol politely asked. They are now having a tea at Tomoyo's place.
"To tell you the truth, I did not only go to Paris but I also tour around the world." Tomoyo paused for her tea, "I visited Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun and their kids there in Hong Kong. They told me that you visited them before I do. One day late."
"Why didn't you tell me? You stopped writing over a month and have no communication with us." Eriol complained.
"I got too carried away with all the places. Sorry." Tomoyo said silently.
"Carried away?" Eriol slammed his fist. "You got me worried all over you."
"Calm down, will you?" Tomoyo grinned mischievously, "How was your love-life? They told me that you have a girlfriend here. Where is she? What does she looks like?"
"We broke up after a month of our 'relationship'. I found out that she's a gold-digger. In our first month anniversary, I saw her and another man in bed. People told me that she's like that a long time ago but I've never listened to them." Eriol said nonchalantly, not affected to tell this news anymore.
"You speak of it as if it is just the weather we're talking about." Tomoyo pondered.
"Not really." Eriol looked thoughtful for awhile, "It's more like a dream, a nightmare."
"Eventually, you woke up from all of it."
"Yeah, let's not talk about it anymore." Eriol smiled, "How was your business turns-out-to-be a-long-vacation?"
"It's great! I've met lots of people, knew different cultures at the process." Tomoyo smiled brightly.
"How many boyfriends did you had while on it? Do you have one? They sure are lucky because I'm not there to kick them." Eriol growled.
"Many suitors…zero boyfriends. Relationships…nuh-uh!" Tomoyo informed, "But I admit that they are all cute guys! Unluckily, I'm too busy with my business there to notice them all."
"Who's top three on your list?" Eriol asked.
"Alex's cute, Hans' handsome but Charles' gorgeous!" Tomoyo giggled.
"Ah…they sure are lucky because you don't have me there," Eriol chuckled, "'coz I'm the best!"
Tomoyo laughed. "They followed me here. They'll visit me…later!" Tomoyo fiddled with her fingers, "Those three follow me everywhere."
"Poor guys, they'll have to stay in the hospital for a month." Eriol scrunched his face adorably.
"You wouldn't do that!" Tomoyo giggled.
"Who told you…? Uh, never mind. Better gear up for later." Eriol stood up, "I shall return! See you in twenty minutes!"
"'kay!" Tomoyo said. "Don't be too…harsh on them. I don't want to see you on that outfit again like you did." Tomoyo teased earning a nod.
"Okay but I'm cute on that Rambo suit, didn't I?" Eriol grinned.
"Absolutely…not! Now go before they outrun you!" Tomoyo smiled, "See you later, Eriol-kun." then pushed Eriol to the doorway.
"Here's the plan." Eriol whispered to Tomoyo after he came back with a few gadgets. "Get it?"
"That's…absurd and can cause a lot of trouble, Eriol-kun! But brilliant, I guess." Tomoyo chuckled nervously.
"Don't be such a coward! It's just an act!" Eriol said.
