Chapter 1: Tomoyo's change and Sakura's worry
~Flashback~
"It's been hard on you, Sakura-chan," A new but somehow familiar voice said from where the entrance of the room was. One of the heavy mahogany double-doors open to reveal...
"Mizuki-sensei?!"
Mizuki Kaho just stood there smiling at Sakura, who had called out her name.
Eriol calmly stood up from his plush, red armchair and led Kaho over to sit on it. She put her hand in his and spoke, looking up into his navy-blue orbs.
"It's been hard on you too, Eriol!"
Eriol leaned over slightly and smiled, "Arigatou gozaimasu, Kaho- san"
A girl with waves of raven-black hair cascading down her back had noticed the little exchange between the sorcerer with hair the colour of the night sky and her former relief math teacher with strawberry-blond hair that hung around her shoulders like a silky curtain of waterfalls. Strangely, though she wore a look of gentle smile, her heart was giving a slight painful wrench when she saw this...
~End Flashback~
"Eriol-kun, I...miss you...so much..." Someone whispered forlornly as she gazed out of her bedroom window, not really seeing the scenery outside. It's been close to five years since he had departed and each passing day had turned her into some kind of a lifeless doll who had only put on a smiling mask to prevent her friends from worrying about her.
~Flashback~
Kaho came out of the mansion carrying three small packets but halfway to meeting them, one of the packets slipped out of her embrace and Sakura hastily went over to help her.
"Eriol-kun always have on the most gentle expression when you looked at Mizuki-sensei," A sweet, melodious voice interrupted Eriol's attention. He switched his focus onto Tomoyo, who currently have a slight smile gracing her soft, luscious lips. Eriol just replied back with a knowing smile and nothing more.
Even though Tomoyo had on a teasing smile, deep inside, her heart wrenched with dawning realisation that she had taken a liking to the sorcerer with a refine and calm demeanour. It was impossible that he would reciprocate her feelings for her perceptive observations had told her that the teacher and student were sharing a much more affectionate relationship than anyone would know.
She kept her expression carefully blank, saved for a polite smile that she perpetually wore, when both Eriol and Kaho said that they will write back regularly to them.
~End Flashback~
A knock on Tomoyo's bedroom door had break her out of a trance that she willed herself to fall into.
"Tomoyo-sama? Your friends had come to visit you," A muffle voice came from the other side of the door.
Tomoyo turn to stare at the door. "I'll will be out in a minute, Kaede-san, thank you for informing me"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Syaoran-kun, Tomoyo-chan has been acting really strange lately. I'm worried for her," A brunette with bright, emerald eyes confided to her companion next to her.
"It took you long enough, Sakura. She's been weird ever since I came back from Hong Kong. I was pretty much shock and thought she wasn't Daidouji when I first walked into the classroom that day," a boy with chestnut hair, which is forever in that untamed position where it keeps falling into his same coloured eyes no matter much he had combed his hair back with his fingers, murmured broodingly.
"Somehow, I have a feeling it had something to do with a certain ancestor of mine," he sighed yet again as an image of a smirking Eriol popped into his trail of thoughts.
It seems to take a few centuries before Tomoyo make her way to the living room. Though her expression had showed no emotions whatsoever, both her friends had known that she was closing herself off and they both could practically see the invisible barrier that Tomoyo had put around herself, separating her away from her friends. The maid that had previously gone up to Tomoyo's room to inform her of her friends' arrival came carrying a tray with three teacups and a pot of tea. After serving the guests and her young mistress, she left to continue with her daily chores.
"What brings both of you here, Sakura-chan, Li-kun?" Tomoyo spoke in a monotonous voice. Both her friends could just detect a touch of melancholy in her voice, though it was very faint.
"We are having a picnic tomorrow afternoon, Tomoyo-chan. And we haven't spent time together for a long time and you haven't step out of your house for a long time as well, besides going to school, so I really wish you can come," Sakura faltered with a pleading look in her eyes when she noticed a hint of hesitation in her best friend's expression.
"If you say so, Sakura-chan... Who will be there?" A small smile tugged at the corners of Tomoyo's lips and she let herself to be mollified to please her worried friends. Tomoyo seldom smiled nowadays, which is why Syaoran thought that the willowy girl, who had sat where Tomoyo had sat in the classroom and who always had a cheerful, demure smile on her face, was not Tomoyo but some other replica that looked like her.
"Oh, the usual, Kero-chan and Yue-san would be there...Onii-chan would probably be there but I'm not very sure since he has to work tomorrow..." Sakura's voice had faded out in Tomoyo's head as her mind wandered off again, not really concentrating on what she is saying. If her friends had noticed her eyes went unfocused with the trance-like look that had taken over, they had chosen not to comment on it. Both the Cherry Blossom and the Little Wolf just exchange worried glance in each other's direction.
