Author's Notes: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.
Twenty-three year old Tomoyo Daidouji was a popular singer. "Popular singer", Tomoyo thought as she was inside her car. "Indeed and yet…some things are missing…"she thought and a tall blue-eyed London boy appeared in her mind. She could never forget her first love.
She was seventeen years old, and she was in first year college. It was the first week of classes and her heart was beating fast. Probably because they'll have new classmates in Tomoeda College aside from Riku, Naoko, Chiharu, and Yamazaki. Li Syaoran came back and decided to study in Japan to be with Sakura. First day of classes and they gathered together in the greenhouse where some college usually stay. "This will be great! College life! The day we've been waiting for! Right Tomoyo?" Tomoyo nodded with a smile.
"I'm excited about our new classmates Sakura!" Tomoyo added. Sakura nodded absent mindedly and looked at Syaoran then to Tomoyo.
"Have you heard the news?" Tomoyo looked at her, confused.
"What news?" Sakura was about to reply when the bell rang. Tomoyo looked at her watch and it was time for her Theology class. She was not classmates with Sakura and Tomoyo was very nervous because she'll be with the new students. "Later Sakura. Tell me about the good news…okay?" she winked as she left the two. Sakura groaned.
"I should have told her the first thing that came into my mind", Sakura began, Syaoran chuckled.
"Don't worry. We'll see her this lunch time then", was all her boyfriend could say. Sakura sighed coz she wanted to tell her the good news.
Tomoyo was waiting for Sakura and Syaoran under the cherry blossom tree, their meeting place. When she caught sight of the two she was shocked that they bought along someone. "He's familiar…blue-eyed boy…blue-eyed boy…"the boy smiled at her as she gave a wry smile back. "Who is he?"
"Tomoyo, I want you to meet…Eriol HIiragizawa!" Sakura exclaimed. Tomoyo looked at her, shocked. She stood up and looked at Eriol.
"You gotta be kidding!" Syaoran and Sakura's expression dropped and Eriol chuckled.
"Actually this is the good news Sakura was about to tell you a while ago", Syaoran began. "Remember?"
"You gotta be kidding…we were classmates in Theology class a while ago!"
"Precisely and I was about to go near you but you walked very fast Daidouji-san", Eriol began. Tomoyo sighed with a smile.
"Nobody told me that handsome boy was you Hiiragizawa-kun".
"Handsome eh? How flattering Daidouji-san". Eriol took her hand and kissed it. She blushed. "It's nice to see you again". But her poise, as always is in the way.
"You too HIiragizawa-kun". She removed her hand from his touch because she felt something that she shouldn't feel.
"Shall we eat? I'm so hungry!" Sakura began.
"We can have the chat later", Syaoran added looking at Tomoyo and Eriol.
"And also I'm very hungry…waiting for you", Tomoyo said. They all gave a slight laugh as they sat down on the grass, under the cherry blossom tree.
Tomoyo's car arrived on their destination…The Majestic Restaurant. Her Mom told her she's giving a party for her daughter had come back after her concert in London. The door of the car opened as Tomoyo went out of her car. She was wearing an off shoulder purple gown, her light violet high-heeled shoes was covered under her gown as she lift her gown a little so that she wouldn't trip. Her raven hair was tied in a ponytail as some tresses fall to the side of her face. Her only jewelry was a sapphire heart necklace given by someone. She touched the pendant as she went inside the big room. Many people greeted her as she passed by. Sakura and Syaoran went to her.
"Looking beautiful as ever…dear cousin", Tomoyo greeted. Sakura chuckled. She was wearing a light pink gown with a shawl. Syaoran was handsome wearing his tuxedo.
"Tomoyo cut the crap! You're the star here and you're more beautiful than I am". The ladies gave a slight laugh as Sonomi went near them.
"Good thing you're here honey! Eat dinner for a while and we'll start the program later".
"Hai Okaasan", her daughter replied. Suddenly something caught her eye. "Oh no", she muttered.
"Eriol's here Tomoyo", Syaoran began. Eriol gave a wry smile at her as she smiled back.
"Hi…Tomoyo…"
"Long time no see…Oniichan Eriol-kun". The two starred at each other as if they're the only one's left in the world. When Sakura cleared her throat.
"We'll eat for a while…don't you agree?" Eriol and Tomoyo nodded.
"Sure", the two said in unison. Syaoran and Sakura looked at each other and shook their heads in dismay.
"So Eriol-kun how are you?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol smiled remembering the time that they can call themselves by their first names.
"I'm fine Tomoyo-san. I missed Japan very much", Eriol replied. She nodded. "So…what are we going to talk about?" Tomoyo thought, tilting her head. They we're in their favorite place and Sakura and Syaoran went into the library for their assignment. Tomoyo and Eriol, as always, were done doing their assignment.
"Do you have a girl friend?" Tomoyo asked with a grin. Eriol's face fell.
"That sure was quick", he said. "Um…well…yeah…I have". Tomoyo just starred at him.
"Honto ni?!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "Eriol-kun introduce me to her!" she added. Eriol gave a slight laugh.
"You already know her…Tomoyo-san…"Eriol replied. Tomoyo looked at him, confused.
"B-But how? I-I don't understand…"
"You'll know her…someday…"she nodded, slowly. "Any other questions?"
"How old are you?" she immediately asked. Eriol was amazed on how quick she could ask.
"Did she wrote it down?" Eriol thought with a grin. "I'm eighteen years old. You?"
"I'm sixteen, turning seventeen! Whoa! You're older than me? I don't believe it! Guess I have to call you Oniichan then, hm?" Tomoyo said with a slight laugh. Eriol's face dropped
"Y-You gotta be kidding…no way!"
"Yes way!"
"B-But we're just in first year college!" Tomoyo looked at him and smiled.
"I want to experience to have a big brother". She paused as she looked at the cherry blossoms falling down. "Look Oniichan isn't it beautiful?" Eriol winced at the word "Oniichan" but looked at the petals that fall down. He was awed at the beauty. But he took a glance of Tomoyo's face and smiled to himself.
"Much more beautiful that the petals", he thought. He paused on what he was thinking then immediately looked away. "I should sleep these crazy thoughts".
"Come on Oniichan let's go. The bell has rung. Looks like Sakura and Syaoran are in the classroom", Tomoyo began, breaking his thoughts as she stood up. Eriol stood up to.
"Okay then…Tomoyo-san…"Tomoyo nodded with a true smile on her face.
