"I love you

"I love you Moyo-chan."

"I love you too Eri-chan!"

Tomoyo smiled as she hugged her best friend, Eri. Eri grinned at her, and they walked to school. Boys and girls watched in admiration as they watched the two walk on the pathway to school.

A girl sighed happily as they came near. "I wonder why people like them hang around people like us."

"Yeah. Daidouji Tomoyo, the beauty that everyone talks about. She's loving and kind, not one to get angry, not to mention the student council president! She's like an idol, and she really is!"

"Yeah!" said a fellow student. "Hiiragizawa Eri is the brains behind Daidouji-san. She's cool and calm." They sighed. "But it's useless to ask her out. She declines all offers, male and female. She's the image of 'cool beauty!' Even in the school uniform!"

The girl uniform for Piffle Academy, the school they attended, consisted of a white blouse and a light purple vest over it, with a dark purple tie. The girls wore a skirt that was a few shades darker than the vest, and had a choice of either mid-thigh height, or knee-length. The guys however, only needed to wear a white collared shirt and dark purple dress pants. Their tie, however, was light purple.

"They're talking about us again…" muttered Eri as she took some books from her locker. Tomoyo laughed weakly from next to her.

"It's best to ignore rumors." Tomoyo smiled and opened her locker. Envelopes containing letters came out and onto the floor. Both of them stared blankly at them.

"Yo!" Li Syaoran ran up to them and stopped. He stared at the letters. He whistled. "Who are those from?"

"I calculate the 48 that aren't in love with me or taken," said Eri blankly as she stared. They turned to stare at her. Eri blinked at them. "What?"

Tomoyo just giggled and turned to Syaoran. "So how is it going with Sakura?"

He blushed. "Good I guess…"

"Wow," said Eri dryly as she fixed her uniform. "And here I thought you were gay."

"Uh-huh me too," agreed Tomoyo as she tapped her finger against her chin. "I read that you were spotted in a gay strip club."

"Near one not in it!" Syaoran yelled.

"And by Sakura too…"

"But you also had a man with almost nothing on with you…"

"Uh…"

"Oh, cheating my dear cousin?" teased Eri.

"O-of course not!" spluttered Syaoran. He turned to Tomoyo and tried to ignore Eri. "Daidouji, you have some paperwork to do in the council room."

Tomoyo nodded and took off for the council room. Syaoran stared at Eri. "Are you ever gonna tell her?"

"Tell her…?"

"That you're a…"

"Soon."

Say That Again

By schooltrackstar

'And the people of the Daidouji family learned how to wield a sword-'

Eri stared at the book she held in her hands and sighed. Eri had relocated to the bench next to the lake for its quietness…But she couldn't concentrate, not with that coming up. The day that she'd reveal everything…everything that she had kept secret…

She thought about Tomoyo. Did she know what she felt for her? Truly? Eri sweat dropped and shook her head. Nah, Tomoyo was beautiful but a bit...dense. Even if Tomoyo hated him, her feelings for her were true.

"Eri-chan!" Eri turned her head and stared at Tomoyo who was waving her hand in the air at her, her wavy hair in ponytails. She was smiling wide and Eri could feel herself becoming happy again. Tomoyo ran up behind the bench and hugged Eri from behind. She peeked over her shoulder to read the book. "Huh? Medicine?"

"Yeah." Eri turned back to her book and closed it. "I thought I might take a look into medical study."

"Hm…" Tomoyo wondered.

"Do you think I'll be a good one?" Eri asked.

Tomoyo grinned at her, sparkling. "Definitely! Eri-chan is great at everything!"

Eri lowered her head. "No…I'm not good at everything…"

Tomoyo stopped smiling, concerned. She thought about what to do in a while and jumped over the bench. She faced her and hugged Eri, placing her head on top of hers. "Then I'll make up for what you lack Eri. Just stay with me forever!"

"Of course I will."

"I gotta go Eri." Tomoyo let go of her and walked away but turned back, her ponytails flying. "But Eri…if you were a guy, I'd definitely fall for you!"

She pressed her lips softly against Eri's then hopped up, smiling. Tomoyo left, jogging. Eri stared at her back, silent.

"Huh…"

"Hey Tomoyo, could you come over to my house tomorrow for a while?" Eri asked as they finished school.

"Sure! I'll see if I can come around noon ok?" Tomoyo smiled at her and walked to her e-bike. "I'll make some treats!"

"Cool." Eri smiled. She heard people yelling. "What happened?"

"Sounds like Syaoran." Tomoyo stood on her toes to see what was happening. "Oh. My. God."

"What?"

"Everyone's asking Syaoran if he's gay!"

"Let's go!"

They elbowed their way through the group. "Move please!"

Eri and Tomoyo watched, amused, as Sakura tapped a finger on her boyfriend's chest. "Is it true you're gay?!"

"Déjà vu," commented Tomoyo. "Hey Sakura-chan."

Sakura turned to them, her hands holding Syaoran's shirt and lifting him off the ground. "Hey Tomoyo-chan, Eri-chan!"

Eri nodded her head at Syaoran. "What's wrong with him?"

"I heard that he was gay." Sakura glared at Syaoran. "You aren't are you?"

"I don't think so," answered Syaoran. Sakura shook him. "Yes or no?"

"No! Seesh woman, lemme down already!" shouted Syaoran. Sakura huffed and placed him on the ground. "God, that hurts!"

"So gaki…cheating on my sister with a man huh?" said a guy behind Syaoran threateningly. Syaoran gulped and turned to face Touya, Sakura's older brother. People could almost see a deadly aura around him. Sakura peeked around Syaoran. "Hi onii-chan!"

"Prepare to die gaki!"

"NOOOO!"

"Hmm…this is Eri's house?" wondered Tomoyo as she stared at the old-fashioned Japanese house in front of her. "It's so big…"

"Young master! Young master!" Tomoyo saw an old lady yelling. She saw Tomoyo and jumped. "Oh I'm so sorry! You're here for…?"

"Eri," smiled Tomoyo.

"I'm here obaa-san," called a guy from the roof of the gate. He had dark blue hair and blue eyes, framed by spectacles.

"Eri…?" wondered Tomoyo aloud.

"Young master! Get down from there! Everyone's waiting for you," cried the old lady. He smirked and jumped down.

"Sorry obaa-san." He grabbed Tomoyo's hand. "Let's go!"

Too shocked, Tomoyo ran with the guy, running until they're stomachs were hurting. As Tomoyo collapsed on a bench, not use to exercise, gasped. "Why…? Who are you?"

The guy smiled at her and stood facing her. "Sorry, let me introduce myself."

He raised a hand to his heart and winked.

"I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa."

Kinda easy to tell who Eri is...and sorry for this shortish chapter! Yes, I know this isn't in my profile or advertised(lol shameless) in any of my stories. If you like this one, please review and check out my other stories! Thanks! And again, review, it really helps me get motivation!
