Kalli: Hi! me again! Here's a better summary for dis story:
Tomoyo and Sakura are sisters that live together (Touya is both their older brother, but he won't
appear until later, newayz, In this Sakura is older than Tomoyo by a couple of years,), Syaoran is
Tomoyo's teacher and also Eriol and Meiling's cousin(Eriol is the youngest, Meiling is the middle, and
Syaoran is the oldest). The class that Syaoran teaches is extremely hard and Tomoyo is well.....not doing
so good in it. So, Syaoran enlists Eriol to be Tomoyo's tutor, and in the process Eriol falls in love with her
and they start dating, while everytime that Syaoran has arrived to pick Eriol up, Eriol has still been
working with Tomoyo, so he talks with Sakura and begins to fall for her, but after long Tomoyo is making
good grades again, so Tomoyo doesn't need a tutor (She's still dating Eriol though) So S+S don't usually
see each other nemore, however, Meiling is Sakura's best friend (In this one, Chiharu is Tomoyo's best
friend, Yamazaki is her boyfriend, and Rika and Naoko r best friends wit each other and good friends with
Tomoyo, Chiharu, Sakura, and Meiling), and after having seen Syaoran and Sakura talking to each other
when she was looking in the window to see if Sakura was home, she sets S+S up on a blind date and the
match-making begins!

Lessons in Love Chap.1- The Meeting By: Kalli
~~~~~~~~~~~Classroom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright! I got a B!" said Chiharu. Tomoyo looked over at her and back over at her own paper. Chiharu turned to Tomoyo. " So Tomoyo, what'd ya make?" she asked. Tomoyo gave a frown. " Er,....Not so good, huh? Well let me see." Tomoyo handed Chiharu her paper. Chiharu's eyes widened and she bit her lip.
" I'm sorry Tomoyo, I didn't know, now, I'm not as happy about that B"
" It's ok Chiharu, you didn't know."
" This class is hard though, huh? I mean Yamazaki got an F too, and he usually gets at the least, C's." said Chiharu hoping to cheer Tomoyo up.
" She didn't need to know that Chiharu!" hissed Yamazaki.
Chiharu sweatdropped. " Sorry Yamazaki, it slipped!" Yamazaki shook his head.
Tomoyo laughed a little at their exchange." Don't worry Yamazaki, We both made the same grade, and it's not like I'm going to tell anyone anyway." he sighed.
" I guess so. Chiharu if u weren't my girlfriend, I'd get u back for that, like telling Tomoyo about the time that u accidently used shampoo instead of toothpaste when ur friend was sleeping over."
Chiharu and Tomoyo sweatdropped while Rika and Naoko giggled behind them. Yamazaki looked around. "What?"
Tomoyo laughed and said" Yamazaki, that friend was me, I already know about it!"
Yamazaki blushed and sweatdropped. "Ugh! why can't girls have at least SOME secrets that their friends don't know about?!"
"Because if we didn't tell our friends, then our boyfriends would be able to get back at us for slipping up on something" said a giggling Chiharu. Yamazaki sighed. " That's the last time I try to get back at Chiharu . Oh well...."
Tomoyo turned to Rika and Naoko. " So what did you guys make?"
Naoko sighed and held up a paper with a red 'D' at the top and Rika blushed holding up a 'C+'
Tomoyo sighed. " Don't you guys usually make B's and C's in this class? I know Chiharu does, and obviously Yamazaki does too."
The 2 girls nodded. Tomoyo frowned. " If I don't study more, I'll fail this class! I usually make D's and F's in this class"
" Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get better with it!" said Rika trying to be optimistic.
Tomoyo gave a small smile. " I hope so" Then the bell rang. Chiharu turned to Tomoyo.
" So we'll meet u at the park after school today, right?" Tomoyo nodded.
She was about to walk out of the room when she heard a voice. "Kinomoto- san! Hold on, I need to talk to you!" she winced. It was her teacher. She turned around as slowly as she could. " Um, yes Li-sensei?"
" I've noticed that you haven't been doing so well in this class"
She looked down at the floor frowning " Yeah, I know."
"I was thinking about having someone tutor you. I have a cousin the same age as you who goes to a different school and does very well with this class. I asked him and he said if you agreed, he'd be happy to help you"
She raised an eyebrow. " He?"
He nodded. " Yes his name is Hiirigizawa Eriol. Well, How about it Tomoyo. He's agreed to do it for free also."
Tomoyo pursed her lips and furrowed her eyebrows in thought. "Well...I guess so. I'm sure my sister wouldn't mind. Why can't it be someone in this class?"
He smiled. " Well, let me put it this way, I'm not supposed to discuss other student's grades.and why would you worry about why your sister minds?"
"Well, I live with my sister. Our mother is dead, our brother lives 6 hours away from here, and our father took a job in Canada. But we wanted to stay here, so That's why we live together."
"Oh! I just wondered."
"Her name is Sakura, she's very sweet!"
" Sakura, huh? Pretty name. Well, he'll come by your house tommorow at 5. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, That'll be fine."
"Well then, I'll see you tommorow Kinomoto-san"
She bowed and ran out the door yelling "You to Li-sensei!"
He sighed, shook his head, and then got back to his paper work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Park After School~~~~~ #$Tomoyo POV#$~~~~~~~~~
I ran as fast as I could. I didn't want to be late to meet the gang. I saw a flash of red/brown and black ahead of me. I smiled. 'That's Chiharu and Yamazaki!'
"HEY! CHIHARU! YAMAZAKI! WAIT UP GUYS!" I saw them both turn around. Chiharu recognized me and waved. I could tell Yamazaki was telling another story because Chiharu had that annoyed look and Yamazaki was holding up that one finger and had his eyes closed and I could see his mouth moving. I giggled at this. It was like a ritual though. I caught up to them and stopped a minute to catch my breath, while Chiharu whacked Yamazaki for telling lies.
"I'm *pant* sorry *pant* that *pant* I'm *pant* late!" I finally said.
"It's okay. We were just on the way ourselves, c'mon, I'm sure that Rika and Naoko are still waiting for us!" We finally arrived at the fountain were we always met.
"Hey guys, it took ya long enough!" said Naoko.
"Yeah, where were you?"said Rika
"Me and Yamazaki were talking with Rei and then we realized the time. Sorry!"
"What about you Tomoyo?"
"Well, Li-sensei held me back to ask me about having a tutor. His name was Hiirigizawa Eriol, at least I think that was it. He's gonna be stopping by tommorow at 5 to help tutor me in Li-sensei's class. Actually he's Li- sensei's cousin! He goes to another school too"
"Did.uh, Li-sensei.tell ya if he was..hot?" asked Naoko devilishly.
"Naoko!" said Rika, playfully jabbing her in the ribs.
"I was just kidding! But, if he is hot, I'm gonna start failing Li-sensei's class!"
"Naoko, honestly, there's plenty of cute guys that would go out with you!" (A/N- Naoko has the same hair, but she got contacts)said Chiharu.
"Yeah, but I heard that there are cuter guys at different schools!" that got Naoko another jab from Rika.
"Is that all you care about?" asked Rika. Naoko thought for a minute.
"Nah. There's movies, music, guys, candy, guys, soda, guys,books,guys,and sports! Oh, and guys!" said Naoko smiling and giggling. Rika just rolled her eyes.
"Naoko! U mentioned guys 5 times!" said Tomoyo trying to hold on her laughter.
Naoko just smiled mischieviously. " I know!"
I sighed. "Whatever Naoko." I heard Rika say
I checked my watch. " Uh-oh! Aunt Sonomi was expecting me home by now!"(When the rest of their family moved away, they moved in with Sonomi ,whom, obviously is their aunt in dis story)
Chiharu gave me a suspicious look. "Tomoyo, did you forget to tell her you were meeting us again? Sakura already knows though , right? She probably expects it by now"
Tomoyo sweatdropped "Yeah, Sakura knows, but Aunt Sonomi doesn't! I gotta go! I'll see you guys tommorow!" They all waved goodbye to Tomoyo as she ran to get home.
~~~~~~~~~~Sonomi's house/mansion~~~~~Sakura POV~~~~~~~~~
I sat down to have a look at the new paper work for the contract I was offered. I was a model for magazines, brochures, and a couple of commercials. My new contract had been working great so far. My old schedule prevented me from seeing my little sister Tomoyo or my Aunt Sonomi very much, but the work was fairly easy. My new contract let me see Tomoyo and Aunt Sonomi plenty, but the work was harder. I checked the clock. Tomoyo should be home in about an hour. I smiled that gave me time to cook up some dinner for the 2 of us.
"Alright, finally done! I can't wait to sign that contract tommorow!" I yawned and stretched. Then I heard the door burst open and Tomoyo came running in.
" Tomoyo, what are you doing home so early? Is something wrong?" she looked up at me panting.
" IforgottotellAuntSonomithatIwasgoingtogoandmeetthegangattheparktoday!" she said in an urgent tone.
"Woah! Rewind and slow down, sis! I didn't catch any of what you just said!"
She took a deep breath and looked up at me. " I said that I forgot to tell Aunt Sonomi that I was going to go and meet the gang at the park today!" I smiled and began to laugh.
She gave me a glare. " And, what, is so funny Sakura?" I looked her square in the eye.
"Tomoyo, do you know where Aunt Sonomi is right now?"
She gasped. " Oh no! She's out looking for me?!" I laughed again. She gave me a perplexed look.
" What's so funny about that?"
" She's not out looking for you my dear sister, she's in France visiting one of her business branches! You could've stayed out longer if you had wanted"
She sweatdropped. " Sorry, Guess I forgot"
"Don't worry about it. I was just going to cook dinner. Or would you rather have take-out instead?"
She thought for a moment. " Take-out. How about..A sushi plate with some rice balls on the side and some Takoyaki?"
"Sounds good to me"
"Alright, I'll call it in if you go and get it."
"Deal" she smiled gratefully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 o'clock Next Day at Tomoyo and Sakura's~~Eriol POV~~~
I walked up the driveway of a mansion. I double-checked the address. Yep, it was the right one. 'I wonder if she's hot. I hope so' I rang the doorbell as nervous as hell. A gorgeous girl with emerald eyes and long auburn hair opened it. 'Oh yeah..she's hot'
"Can I help you?"she asked. I put on my most charming smile.
"Yes, are you Tomoyo? I'm Eriol, your tutor." I bent and kissed her hand.
"Um,.you must be the tutor she told me about. I'm her older sister Sakura. Tomoyo is waiting for you in the living room" I was dissapointed. 'Well, who knows, maybe Tomoyo takes after her older sister' I thought. I walked into their gigantic living room and saw someone sitting on a couch with their back facing me.
" Tomoyo, your tutor is here!" the person turned around. My breath caught in my throat. She was even prettier than her sister! She had beautiful dark purple hair that tumbled down over her shoulders and 2 big sapphire eyes that went on forever. She stood up and walked over towards me. I was sure I was drooling. 'Nice body too.' I mentally slapped myself for that. 'You're here to tutor her, not fall in love with her.' Too late..
She moved her hand in front of my face. "Um,..are you okay?" she had the voice of an angel too. That's when I realized that she was talking to me.
" Yeah! Sorry about that. Uh, shall we?" I said motioning to the table. She nodded.
"My name is Kinomoto Tomoyo. You can call me Tomoyo if you like."
"I'm Hiirigizawa Eriol. You can call me Eriol if you like, dear lady" I said kissing her hand. She blushed a slight red.
"Um.thank you Eriol.Now, come on and let's get started" I nodded and we started the lesson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that day at Kinomoto Mansion~~~~~~~Normal POV~~~~~
Syaoran walked up the driveway.'The Kinomoto's must live pretty well' I thought. I rang the doorbell and waited a while. Then the door opened revealing someone whom I figured was Tomoyo's sister..who just happened to be Drop-dead gorgeous! She had deep and beautiful emerald eyes 'Emerald eyes.my favorite color' and shiny auburn hair pulled into a ponytail.
"Um,.Hello, can I help you?"
"Huh? What? Oh, sorry, I'm here to pick my cousin Eriol up."
"Are you Tomoyo's teacher?"
"Yeah, I'm Li Syaoran" I said holding out my hand.
She took it and said " I'm Kinomoto Sakura, Tomoyo's older sister. Come on in. Their still in the living room and from the looks of it will probably be in there for a while. When I last checked on them, they were on the 15th problem out of 30."
"When did you last check on them?"
She checked her watch. "Exactly 5 minutes ago. Plus they've been laughing a lot during their 'lesson'." She said.
I sighed. "Er,..I guess I probably should've warned her that he's a bit of a flirt."
She laughed. "I noticed. The first thing he did when I opened the door was smile and kiss my hand. Except with Tomoyo he was in a trance." I shook my head. 'Eriol, you idiot! You just can't flirt with every pretty girl you see!' I glanced over at Kinomoto-san's sister. 'And I kinda like this one too!' I could feel myself blushing.
"I'm really sorry about that. That's his way of saying hello to a pretty girl" I sighed.
She giggled. " Well, then, I'm flattered! I'm glad to know I'm considered pretty"
I smiled at her. " A gal like you? Of course your pretty, heck, I'd say your gorgeous!" I mentally smacked myself for that. I shouldn't say things like that to a girl I just met. "Er,.. sorry, I probably shouldn't have said that. She smiled at me. 'Great smile' I thought.
"No, no, I'm glad you did. That was really sweet of you! Go ahead and sit down. Can I get you some tea? I just made some. Do you like green tea okay, Li-kun?" she asked.
"Oh, sure then! Yeah, actually I'm from China, so I definitely don't mind Green Tea! And your welcome to call me Syaoran If you like"
"Your from China, huh? You'll have to tell me more about that. And you can call me Sakura if you want, Syaoran" I smiled. I couldn't remember the last time I had interacted with such a nice, intelligent, and beautiful person. I wasn't exactly the social type. I mean, I had friends, but I had rarely ever dated or felt so happy to be around just one person. But, my chances with someone like her are about 1 billion to Zero. Why? 1) She's gorgeous and probably has plenty of guys at her feet 2) She's the sister of one of my STUDENTS, for heavens sake! 3) She's not even my age! Wait, she is the ELDER sister. I wonder. Nah, It would be too good to be true.but if she WAS my age, that would definitely increase my chances.
"Here ya go!" she said handing me a cup of tea.
"Thanks!"
She took a sip. " So, tell me a little about yourself, Syaoran."
"Well, I'm originally from China, I'm 25, single ,and I've been a teacher for 3 years. Not much to say."
She smiled. "Well, do you like how things have turned out?"
I thought for a minute. " Yeah, I live in a nice apartment, I get a decent enough pay, despite what you hear about Teacher's wages." she giggled at this. Then I took another sip and continued. "I have a pretty casual life style, but it suits me just fine. And what about you?"
She pursed her lips and then said "Well, I'm also 25 and single I work as a model, It gets pretty good pay, which I use to pay for some of the food and bills here.."
"Wait, you mean this isn't your house?"
"Nope, I couldn't afford a place like this. Me and Tomoyo live here with our Aunt Sonomi, but she's often out-of-town, so pretty frequently it's just the 2 of us."
I nodded. " Okay, I just wondered, because Kinomoto-san said that she lived with you. Now you can continue with what you were saying."
"Well, I just got a new contract that requires extra strength, but it gives me more free time. I've lived here in Tomoeda my whole life, though I've traveled a lot due to my Father's job."
"What does he do?"
"He's a college professor that often goes on digs and expeditions"
"Wow, I'd have loved to have done something like that when I was younger! I didn't get to travel much. We went on one big trip a year and that was usually it."
"Where'd ya go to?"
I thought for a minute." Big cities for about 5 days. Places like Paris, Tokyo, Honolulu, etc. But other than that we stayed home."
"I've never been to Honolulu. What's it like?"
"Well, it's a beau.." I didn't get to finish because right at that moment Eriol and Kinomoto-san burst into the room.
"We're done!" said Eriol with a dreamy look in his eyes.
"Um-hum" was all Kinomoto-san would say. Me and Sakura exchanged glances and smiled.
"So, what were you 2 talking about in here sis?"
"Oh, I was just telling your teacher here about some of your cute little baby stories!" That got Sakura one MAD glare.
" Sis.." She said in a warning tone. Sakura just laughed.
"I was kidding Tomoyo! Did you really think I would do something like that?" Said Sakura with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I wouldn't put it past you, sis." Sakura pretended to look offended.
"Well, I never! Say Hiirigizawa-kun, would you like to hear about the time when Tomoyo was 2 and she." At that point Sakura burst out laughing while her sister on the other hand was blushing beet red. Eriol, apparently, had caught on to the game.
"Do continue Kinomoto-san." He said giving Kinomoto-san (Tomoyo, not Sakura) a smile that showed he was trying not to laugh about it. She glared at him as if she was trying to kill him by looking at him. He just smiled even more. THAT got him a jab in the ribs.
"Eriol-kun!" he started laughing.
"I'm..hahaha.sorry..hehe..Tomoyo!" he finally managed to say. She sighed and then smiled.
"Well, would anyone like to hear about the time that Sakura had a job as a chef and accidently." Then it was HER laughing, not Sakura. Sakura was now the one glaring.
"Yeah, well what about the time that YOU had a job as a traffic director and you." Then BOTH of them were laughing and by the time their little war was over, we were all beet red from laughing and the Kinomoto sisters had tears running down their cheeks from laughing so hard.
"I guess we'll run out of stories eventually, so maybe we should stop now and save some for later, huh Tomoyo?"
"I guess so."
"Awwwwwww. Already? But, I wanted to hear about what actually HAPPENED at those jobs." Said Eriol.
I grinned " Me too! Or are you gonna save that for next time?"
"Next time" said Sakura smiling.
Eriol checked his watch. "Uh-oh! I gotta go. I'll see you later, My dear Tomoyo!" he said ending with a quick kiss on her hand and a wink and he was already out the door. Tomoyo yawned.
"I'm gonna go take a nap. Wake me up for dinner, okay sis?"
"Alright, but we're getting take-out again. How about Pizza tonight?" She shrugged.
"Fine with me! Just cheese though, okay?"
"Alright. Have a good rest"
"I will." She said. Then she went upstairs leaving us alone.
Sakura looked in the mirror. "Ugh! I'll have to clean up before dinner." I handed her my hankerchief.
"Here, you can keep it."
She looked up at me. "Really? Thank you!" Our hands brushed lightly as I handed it to her, but they stayed that way for a minute then she took it and brushed her face off with it.
"Your welcome to stay for dinner if you like Syaoran"
"I would, but I still have to grade papers. I'll take a raincheck though, if the offers' still available that is." 'Please say it is!' I thought.
She nodded quickly " Of course! It was great talking to you! I hope to see you again soon!"
I smiled " Me too. Thank you for the tea" I said as we walked to the door.
"No problem! I'll see you later Syaoran!" she said with a faint red coloring to her cheeks. 'I wonder why she's so red?'
"I'll see ya around Sakura!" I said smiling and waving. She waved back and then closed the door.
As I walked down the street, I thanked Kami-sama, I had just met the girl of my dreams! She was beautiful, intelligent, in my age group, funny, kind, and one hell of a cook, I had to say. I threw a fist in the air and smiled happily, despite the fact that the people around me were looking at me as if I were crazy. But that's probably because I was. Crazy about this girl.

Tomoyo sighed. " Don't you guys usually make B's and C's in this class? I know Chiharu does, and obviously Yamazaki does too."
The 2 girls nodded. Tomoyo frowned. " If I don't study more, I'll fail this class! I usually make D's and F's in this class"
" Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get better with it!" said Rika trying to be optimistic.
Tomoyo gave a small smile. " I hope so" Then the bell rang. Chiharu turned to Tomoyo.
" So we'll meet u at the park after school today, right?" Tomoyo nodded.
She was about to walk out of the room when she heard a voice. "Kinomoto- san! Hold on, I need to talk to you!" she winced. It was her teacher. She turned around as slowly as she could. " Um, yes Li-sensei?"
" I've noticed that you haven't been doing so well in this class"
She looked down at the floor frowning " Yeah, I know."
"I was thinking about having someone tutor you. I have a cousin the same age as you who goes to a different school and does very well with this class. I asked him and he said if you agreed, he'd be happy to help you"
She raised an eyebrow. " He?"
He nodded. " Yes his name is Hiirigizawa Eriol. Well, How about it Tomoyo. He's agreed to do it for free also."
Tomoyo pursed her lips and furrowed her eyebrows in thought. "Well...I guess so. I'm sure my sister wouldn't mind. Why can't it be someone in this class?"
He smiled. " Well, let me put it this way, I'm not supposed to discuss other student's grades.and why would you worry about why your sister minds?"
"Well, I live with my sister. Our mother is dead, our brother lives 6 hours away from here, and our father took a job in Canada. But we wanted to stay here, so That's why we live together."
"Oh! I just wondered."
"Her name is Sakura, she's very sweet!"
" Sakura, huh? Pretty name. Well, he'll come by your house tommorow at 5. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, That'll be fine."
"Well then, I'll see you tommorow Kinomoto-san"
She bowed and ran out the door yelling "You to Li-sensei!"
He sighed, shook his head, and then got back to his paper work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Park After School~~~~~ #$Tomoyo POV#$~~~~~~~~~
I ran as fast as I could. I didn't want to be late to meet the gang. I saw a flash of red/brown and black ahead of me. I smiled. 'That's Chiharu and Yamazaki!'
"HEY! CHIHARU! YAMAZAKI! WAIT UP GUYS!" I saw them both turn around. Chiharu recognized me and waved. I could tell Yamazaki was telling another story because Chiharu had that annoyed look and Yamazaki was holding up that one finger and had his eyes closed and I could see his mouth moving. I giggled at this. It was like a ritual though. I caught up to them and stopped a minute to catch my breath, while Chiharu whacked Yamazaki for telling lies.
"I'm *pant* sorry *pant* that *pant* I'm *pant* late!" I finally said.
"It's okay. We were just on the way ourselves, c'mon, I'm sure that Rika and Naoko are still waiting for us!" We finally arrived at the fountain were we always met.
"Hey guys, it took ya long enough!" said Naoko.
"Yeah, where were you?"said Rika
"Me and Yamazaki were talking with Rei and then we realized the time. Sorry!"
"What about you Tomoyo?"
"Well, Li-sensei held me back to ask me about having a tutor. His name was Hiirigizawa Eriol, at least I think that was it. He's gonna be stopping by tommorow at 5 to help tutor me in Li-sensei's class. Actually he's Li- sensei's cousin! He goes to another school too"
"Did.uh, Li-sensei.tell ya if he was..hot?" asked Naoko devilishly.
"Naoko!" said Rika, playfully jabbing her in the ribs.
"I was just kidding! But, if he is hot, I'm gonna start failing Li-sensei's class!"
"Naoko, honestly, there's plenty of cute guys that would go out with you!" (A/N- Naoko has the same hair, but she got contacts)said Chiharu.
"Yeah, but I heard that there are cuter guys at different schools!" that got Naoko another jab from Rika.
"Is that all you care about?" asked Rika. Naoko thought for a minute.
"Nah. There's movies, music, guys, candy, guys, soda, guys,books,guys,and sports! Oh, and guys!" said Naoko smiling and giggling. Rika just rolled her eyes.
"Naoko! U mentioned guys 5 times!" said Tomoyo trying to hold on her laughter.
Naoko just smiled mischieviously. " I know!"
I sighed. "Whatever Naoko." I heard Rika say
I checked my watch. " Uh-oh! Aunt Sonomi was expecting me home by now!"(When the rest of their family moved away, they moved in with Sonomi ,whom, obviously is their aunt in dis story)
Chiharu gave me a suspicious look. "Tomoyo, did you forget to tell her you were meeting us again? Sakura already knows though , right? She probably expects it by now"
Tomoyo sweatdropped "Yeah, Sakura knows, but Aunt Sonomi doesn't! I gotta go! I'll see you guys tommorow!" They all waved goodbye to Tomoyo as she ran to get home.
~~~~~~~~~~Sonomi's house/mansion~~~~~Sakura POV~~~~~~~~~
I sat down to have a look at the new paper work for the contract I was offered. I was a model for magazines, brochures, and a couple of commercials. My new contract had been working great so far. My old schedule prevented me from seeing my little sister Tomoyo or my Aunt Sonomi very much, but the work was fairly easy. My new contract let me see Tomoyo and Aunt Sonomi plenty, but the work was harder. I checked the clock. Tomoyo should be home in about an hour. I smiled that gave me time to cook up some dinner for the 2 of us.
"Alright, finally done! I can't wait to sign that contract tommorow!" I yawned and stretched. Then I heard the door burst open and Tomoyo came running in.
" Tomoyo, what are you doing home so early? Is something wrong?" she looked up at me panting.
" IforgottotellAuntSonomithatIwasgoingtogoandmeetthegangattheparktoday!" she said in an urgent tone.
"Woah! Rewind and slow down, sis! I didn't catch any of what you just said!"
She took a deep breath and looked up at me. " I said that I forgot to tell Aunt Sonomi that I was going to go and meet the gang at the park today!" I smiled and began to laugh.
She gave me a glare. " And, what, is so funny Sakura?" I looked her square in the eye.
"Tomoyo, do you know where Aunt Sonomi is right now?"
She gasped. " Oh no! She's out looking for me?!" I laughed again. She gave me a perplexed look.
" What's so funny about that?"
" She's not out looking for you my dear sister, she's in France visiting one of her business branches! You could've stayed out longer if you had wanted"
She sweatdropped. " Sorry, Guess I forgot"
"Don't worry about it. I was just going to cook dinner. Or would you rather have take-out instead?"
She thought for a moment. " Take-out. How about..A sushi plate with some rice balls on the side and some Takoyaki?"
"Sounds good to me"
"Alright, I'll call it in if you go and get it."
"Deal" she smiled gratefully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 o'clock Next Day at Tomoyo and Sakura's~~Eriol POV~~~
I walked up the driveway of a mansion. I double-checked the address. Yep, it was the right one. 'I wonder if she's hot. I hope so' I rang the doorbell as nervous as hell. A gorgeous girl with emerald eyes and long auburn hair opened it. 'Oh yeah..she's hot'
"Can I help you?"she asked. I put on my most charming smile.
"Yes, are you Tomoyo? I'm Eriol, your tutor." I bent and kissed her hand.
"Um,.you must be the tutor she told me about. I'm her older sister Sakura. Tomoyo is waiting for you in the living room" I was dissapointed. 'Well, who knows, maybe Tomoyo takes after her older sister' I thought. I walked into their gigantic living room and saw someone sitting on a couch with their back facing me.
" Tomoyo, your tutor is here!" the person turned around. My breath caught in my throat. She was even prettier than her sister! She had beautiful dark purple hair that tumbled down over her shoulders and 2 big sapphire eyes that went on forever. She stood up and walked over towards me. I was sure I was drooling. 'Nice body too.' I mentally slapped myself for that. 'You're here to tutor her, not fall in love with her.' Too late..
She moved her hand in front of my face. "Um,..are you okay?" she had the voice of an angel too. That's when I realized that she was talking to me.
" Yeah! Sorry about that. Uh, shall we?" I said motioning to the table. She nodded.
"My name is Kinomoto Tomoyo. You can call me Tomoyo if you like."
"I'm Hiirigizawa Eriol. You can call me Eriol if you like, dear lady" I said kissing her hand. She blushed a slight red.
"Um.thank you Eriol.Now, come on and let's get started" I nodded and we started the lesson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that day at Kinomoto Mansion~~~~~~~Normal POV~~~~~
Syaoran walked up the driveway.'The Kinomoto's must live pretty well' I thought. I rang the doorbell and waited a while. Then the door opened revealing someone whom I figured was Tomoyo's sister..who just happened to be Drop-dead gorgeous! She had deep and beautiful emerald eyes 'Emerald eyes.my favorite color' and shiny auburn hair pulled into a ponytail.
"Um,.Hello, can I help you?"
"Huh? What? Oh, sorry, I'm here to pick my cousin Eriol up."
"Are you Tomoyo's teacher?"
"Yeah, I'm Li Syaoran" I said holding out my hand.
She took it and said " I'm Kinomoto Sakura, Tomoyo's older sister. Come on in. Their still in the living room and from the looks of it will probably be in there for a while. When I last checked on them, they were on the 15th problem out of 30."
"When did you last check on them?"
She checked her watch. "Exactly 5 minutes ago. Plus they've been laughing a lot during their 'lesson'." She said.
I sighed. "Er,..I guess I probably should've warned her that he's a bit of a flirt."
She laughed. "I noticed. The first thing he did when I opened the door was smile and kiss my hand. Except with Tomoyo he was in a trance." I shook my head. 'Eriol, you idiot! You just can't flirt with every pretty girl you see!' I glanced over at Kinomoto-san's sister. 'And I kinda like this one too!' I could feel myself blushing.
"I'm really sorry about that. That's his way of saying hello to a pretty girl" I sighed.
She giggled. " Well, then, I'm flattered! I'm glad to know I'm considered pretty"
I smiled at her. " A gal like you? Of course your pretty, heck, I'd say your gorgeous!" I mentally smacked myself for that. I shouldn't say things like that to a girl I just met. "Er,.. sorry, I probably shouldn't have said that. She smiled at me. 'Great smile' I thought.
"No, no, I'm glad you did. That was really sweet of you! Go ahead and sit down. Can I get you some tea? I just made some. Do you like green tea okay, Li-kun?" she asked.
"Oh, sure then! Yeah, actually I'm from China, so I definitely don't mind Green Tea! And your welcome to call me Syaoran If you like"
"Your from China, huh? You'll have to tell me more about that. And you can call me Sakura if you want, Syaoran" I smiled. I couldn't remember the last time I had interacted with such a nice, intelligent, and beautiful person. I wasn't exactly the social type. I mean, I had friends, but I had rarely ever dated or felt so happy to be around just one person. But, my chances with someone like her are about 1 billion to Zero. Why? 1) She's gorgeous and probably has plenty of guys at her feet 2) She's the sister of one of my STUDENTS, for heavens sake! 3) She's not even my age! Wait, she is the ELDER sister. I wonder. Nah, It would be too good to be true.but if she WAS my age, that would definitely increase my chances.
"Here ya go!" she said handing me a cup of tea.
"Thanks!"
She took a sip. " So, tell me a little about yourself, Syaoran."
"Well, I'm originally from China, I'm 25, single ,and I've been a teacher for 3 years. Not much to say."
She smiled. "Well, do you like how things have turned out?"
I thought for a minute. " Yeah, I live in a nice apartment, I get a decent enough pay, despite what you hear about Teacher's wages." she giggled at this. Then I took another sip and continued. "I have a pretty casual life style, but it suits me just fine. And what about you?"
She pursed her lips and then said "Well, I'm also 25 and single I work as a model, It gets pretty good pay, which I use to pay for some of the food and bills here.."
"Wait, you mean this isn't your house?"
"Nope, I couldn't afford a place like this. Me and Tomoyo live here with our Aunt Sonomi, but she's often out-of-town, so pretty frequently it's just the 2 of us."
I nodded. " Okay, I just wondered, because Kinomoto-san said that she lived with you. Now you can continue with what you were saying."
"Well, I just got a new contract that requires extra strength, but it gives me more free time. I've lived here in Tomoeda my whole life, though I've traveled a lot due to my Father's job."
"What does he do?"
"He's a college professor that often goes on digs and expeditions"
"Wow, I'd have loved to have done something like that when I was younger! I didn't get to travel much. We went on one big trip a year and that was usually it."
"Where'd ya go to?"
I thought for a minute." Big cities for about 5 days. Places like Paris, Tokyo, Honolulu, etc. But other than that we stayed home."
"I've never been to Honolulu. What's it like?"
"Well, it's a beau.." I didn't get to finish because right at that moment Eriol and Kinomoto-san burst into the room.
"We're done!" said Eriol with a dreamy look in his eyes.
"Um-hum" was all Kinomoto-san would say. Me and Sakura exchanged glances and smiled.
"So, what were you 2 talking about in here sis?"
"Oh, I was just telling your teacher here about some of your cute little baby stories!" That got Sakura one MAD glare.
" Sis.." She said in a warning tone. Sakura just laughed.
"I was kidding Tomoyo! Did you really think I would do something like that?" Said Sakura with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I wouldn't put it past you, sis." Sakura pretended to look offended.
"Well, I never! Say Hiirigizawa-kun, would you like to hear about the time when Tomoyo was 2 and she." At that point Sakura burst out laughing while her sister on the other hand was blushing beet red. Eriol, apparently, had caught on to the game.
"Do continue Kinomoto-san." He said giving Kinomoto-san (Tomoyo, not Sakura) a smile that showed he was trying not to laugh about it. She glared at him as if she was trying to kill him by looking at him. He just smiled even more. THAT got him a jab in the ribs.
"Eriol-kun!" he started laughing.
"I'm..hahaha.sorry..hehe..Tomoyo!" he finally managed to say. She sighed and then smiled.
"Well, would anyone like to hear about the time that Sakura had a job as a chef and accidently." Then it was HER laughing, not Sakura. Sakura was now the one glaring.
"Yeah, well what about the time that YOU had a job as a traffic director and you." Then BOTH of them were laughing and by the time their little war was over, we were all beet red from laughing and the Kinomoto sisters had tears running down their cheeks from laughing so hard.
"I guess we'll run out of stories eventually, so maybe we should stop now and save some for later, huh Tomoyo?"
"I guess so."
"Awwwwwww. Already? But, I wanted to hear about what actually HAPPENED at those jobs." Said Eriol.
I grinned " Me too! Or are you gonna save that for next time?"
"Next time" said Sakura smiling.
Eriol checked his watch. "Uh-oh! I gotta go. I'll see you later, My dear Tomoyo!" he said ending with a quick kiss on her hand and a wink and he was already out the door. Tomoyo yawned.
"I'm gonna go take a nap. Wake me up for dinner, okay sis?"
"Alright, but we're getting take-out again. How about Pizza tonight?" She shrugged.
"Fine with me! Just cheese though, okay?"
"Alright. Have a good rest"
"I will." She said. Then she went upstairs leaving us alone.
Sakura looked in the mirror. "Ugh! I'll have to clean up before dinner." I handed her my hankerchief.
"Here, you can keep it."
She looked up at me. "Really? Thank you!" Our hands brushed lightly as I handed it to her, but they stayed that way for a minute then she took it and brushed her face off with it.
"Your welcome to stay for dinner if you like Syaoran"
"I would, but I still have to grade papers. I'll take a raincheck though, if the offers' still available that is." 'Please say it is!' I thought.
She nodded quickly " Of course! It was great talking to you! I hope to see you again soon!"
I smiled " Me too. Thank you for the tea" I said as we walked to the door.
"No problem! I'll see you later Syaoran!" she said with a faint red coloring to her cheeks. 'I wonder why she's so red?'
"I'll see ya around Sakura!" I said smiling and waving. She waved back and then closed the door.
As I walked down the street, I thanked Kami-sama, I had just met the girl of my dreams! She was beautiful, intelligent, in my age group, funny, kind, and one hell of a cook, I had to say. I threw a fist in the air and smiled happily, despite the fact that the people around me were looking at me as if I were crazy. But that's probably because I was. Crazy about this girl.
