Note:
I'm new to this site and therefore my first story might seem a little weird to most people while I'm trying to alter my style. After reading lots of people's fanfic, I decided that I might post one as well! It will be most appreciated for everyone to posts reviews or complaints for my story (let them come!!) My grammar is not perfect (I'm in ESL) but I'll try my best to read through and edit my story. Enjoy!!
This fanfic starts a week after the 2nd movie of the CCS animation "The Sealed Card", with Shaoran and Sakura already a couple, and Tomoyo deadly jealous of them The story is based on the relationship changes between Tomoyo and Eriol (So excited!).
Chapter One: Tomoyo's feeling
It had been a week since the Nadeshiko festival has ended; a week since the last Clow card had been sealed; a week since Shoaran had left Japan; a week since Sakura finally replied to Shoaran's confession.
"It had certainly been an exciting week", Tomoyo though about all the incidents that happened in the past week, while she's on her way back to her house after taking an afternoon walk, "Sakura-chan is always Shoaran-kun this and Shoaran-kun that in our conversations." She giggled a little when she remembered how Sakura always blush when she mentioned about Li Shoaran-kun. The breeze travels pass by her; her hair followed the breeze like silky black waves.
Suddenly, she has a feeling, just very slightly, tingling up her neck and into her mind. It feels like a needle going up from her feet for her head.
"What is that feeling?" Tomoyo questioned herself. It is a mixture of everything, woven together in such a complex way that she cannot understand it. She thought about this feeling all the way home.
Her mother is working late, and again, she is alone in the big house. Well, not really alone, Meilin decided to stay a little longer in Japan. She claims that going back to Hong Kong is boring and she wants to play more. Apparently, Meilin is probably out with Chiharu and other friends. However, she like to be alone, it gives her time to think. Tomoyo picks up the knitting needles with colorful balls of yarn and began knitting a sweater. She thought about the feeling she felt when she's on her way back home, and everyday in the past week while she's knitting the sweater. "Ever since Li-kun confesses to Sakura, I have this feeling. What is this feeling that I have?" the question floats around in her mind. Just as she sinks into her thought, the cell phone rang in her bag. She picks it up and answered it "Hi, this is Tomoyo"
"Hey, Tomoyo-chan," it is Sakura, her voice is always cheerful, "I just received a phone call from Eriol-kun, and he said that he'll come to Japan tomorrow and stay for the rest of the summer vacation! I asked him why, and he answered that he expects something interesting might happen! I'm so excited!!"
"Wow that is some wonderful news. I wish that Li-kun is here to see Eriol-kun," answered Tomoyo. She can hear Sakura ponders on Shoaran's name, "Well, maybe we'll do something to let Shoaran-kun know that Eriol-kun is here. Oh, Tomoyo-chan, we can...,"
Suddenly, in the background, "Hey, monster, come down here and eat your food. I don't want to be eaten by you when you accidentally mistaken me as your dinner!"
It is obviously Toya, Sakura's big brother. "OHHH, STOP CALLING ME MONSTER," shouts Sakura, annoyed, "Sorry, Tomoyo-chan, but I got to go, I plan to meet Eriol-kun at the airport tomorrow at ten o' clock, do you want to come with me?" asked Sakura. "Sure, Saukra-chan, I'll meet you at the airport with Hizagizawa-kun," said Tomoyo.
"Sakura, I'll eat all of your tempuras if you don't come down," shouted Toya. "Alright, I will see you tomorrow then," said Sakura, and she hang up the phone.
Tomoyo giggled at how Sakura reacted to her brother's insult, Sakura's always so cute. She puts down her work and walked to the kitchen to prepare some dinner for herself. After she finished her dinner, the clock struck seven o' clock.
"Daidoji-san, I'm back!" shouted Meilin, coming from the front door, "Sorry I'm so late, but Sasaki-sun insists that I must go to her house and taste some of her own cooking."She immediately rush up to her room. "Oh, Meilin-chan, Hizagizawa-kun is coming to Japan tomorrow, and I plan to meet up with Sakura-chan at ten o' clock at the airport, do you wish to come?"
"Definitely, Daidoji-san, just reminds me again tomorrow morning because I might forget about it," answered Meilin, and disappeared into her room.
Tomoyo quietly walk up to her room and put herself into her bed after brushing her teeth, taking a bath, and change into her sleeping gown. As she's drifting into her sleep, there is something else, a feeling weird and alien, yet so comforting. "What is it……" and she closes her eyes to wait for the new sun to rise.
In her dream, she saw the moon and the star, and Tomoyo knows what the symbols means. However, she didn't see herself standing with the two symbols, and they are moving away from her. She ran and ran, chasing after the two people she cares about she cares about the most. Then, she fall, but the fall never seems to stop. The hole seems to be bottomless, its endless, and she just keep on falling. Suddenly, a warm hand caught her...
"Tomoyo, Tomoyo, wake up, are you sick?" asks the voice. Tomoyo opened her eyes, and she sees her mother, looking worried and somewhat urgent. She tries to get up, but her body cannot move. Every joints in her body seems to ache and her head spins like a mixing bowl, but she shakes her head. Her mother seems to be relieved, "Ok, Tomoyo, I've cooked breakfast, and I have to leave soon. So dress up quickly and come down stairs to finish your food. I'll drive you to the airport, aren't you and Meilin-chan going to meet up with Sakura-chan? "
At the airport, Sakura greets Tomoyo and Meilin with usual cheerfulness, "Hello, Tomoyo-chan and Meilin-chan...Tomoyo-chan, you don't look so well, what happened?" Tomoyo gives a slight smile, "Nothing, Sakura-chan, I'm alright. When is Hizagizawa-kun coming out of the check out area?" "Oh, I think he'll come at any moment now," answered Sakura.
"Hi, Sakura-chan, Tomoyo-chan, and Meilin-chan, how are you three doing?" It is Hizagizawa Eriol-kun, who, in his past live, is Clow Reed, greeted the girls with his usual politeness. Just a few months ago, Eriol has put everyone in Tomaeda to sleep, and threatened Sakura to change every card into Sakura cards, but now he is friend to Sakura, and everyone else who knows about Clow cards.
Just then, Tomoyo's heart skipped a few beats; she puts her hand on her chest. She is sure that it is just the excitement of seeing Hizagizawa-kun again. She looked up, only to see Eriol putting his hand on her forehead, "Are you all right, Tomoyo-chan?"
"Ahhh!" she fell on her butt, "I'm ok, Hizagizawa-kun, thank you very much." Eriol helped Tomoyo up on her feet, he eye her with such gentleness that she has to turn away. "What am I thinking," thought Tomoyo. Sakura eyed Tomoyo with a worried glance; Tomoyo is always very joyful and calm at all situation, but in the past week, she has being all jumpy and quiet when things happen, especially when she talks about Shaoran-kun. "Shoaran-kun," whispered Sakura.
"Well, now everybody is here, lets all go to Kinomoto-san's house and have a tea party!" shouted Meilin, and everyone nodded in agreement. However, only Tomoyo stands outside the circle, and silently walked away from the group. She thought no one is looking at her, but a pair of dark blue eyes glanced at her all the way to the exit.
