Chapter 1: Introduction
Eriol Hiiragizawa was the perfect guy any girl would want. He is attractive, tall, pale skinned, unruly hair and the body to match the brains. His father's company scores big time making him son of one of the top leaders in business. However, he never really appreciated his life. Of course, he used to but later he realized he was missing something. The feeling of being alone for almost all his years haunted him. He wanted to feel the warmth of another person after losing his beloved Kaho Mizuki from a car accident. But the love was still there, never will Kaho be erased in his heart.
On the other hand, Tomoyo Daidouji is not what every guy would want. Sure she was compared to an angel, but her shyness and lack of self-confidence made his suitors fear her. They feared that her inferiority would merit them broken ribs from her bodyguards but most of all to her mother. Tomoyo's mother, Sonomi Daidouji, had instructed bodyguards and a nurse to constantly be around her daughter. It is because at a young age Tomoyo had develop a disease called anemia (A/N: I'm sure you know what that is). On the contrary, at the age of 16 yrs. old her sickness was slowly progressing. Her doctor said that in about a year or two her sickness would be gone, much thanks to the wealth they possess.

The rays of the sun crept through the teenager's drapes. Her nurse opened them one at a time to let the sun in. Slowly Ayame, Tomoyo's personal nurse and friend, sat on her bed.
"Tomoyo, dear, it's already morning. Please wake up." she tapped Tomoyo's arm causing the young girl to open her eyes.
"Oh..." Tomoyo tried to sit up, but when she opened her eyes it was all blurred.
"Ay-ayame where a-are you?" she grew to a panic and started waving her arms.
Ayame caught her arms and pulled her to a hug. Muttering comforting words to calm the young girl she reached for her medicine and aided her to take it.
"Sshh, it's okay. Are you sure you can go to school today?" Ayame asked Tomoyo.
"I'm fine. It's fading.." she whispered to Ayame who finally nodded and left to prepare her bath.
'Oh Tomoyo, I admire your self-determination' Ayame thought to herself.
Tomoyo sat on her bed facing the window. She thought of how weak her body was. How much she wanted to end her sickness and sometimes...just vanish. She recalled how her classmates would try and be nice to her just because of her sickness. Only Sakura Kinomoto and a few friends truly appreciated her. However, growing up means having to pass the stage of love and because of this Sakura and Syaoran would always be together. Tomoyo perfectly understood Sakura's situation and accepted the fact that she won't be forever hers.
"Tomoyo your bath is ready" Ayame entered the room to assist her. After preparing for school the two left riding the limousine.
Seated at the last row Tomoyo would not bother talking to anyone. She would just seat on her chair and wait for the bell to ring. Sometimes she'll talk with her friends, but these days it rarely happens. She arrives at school 5 minutes before the bell. Ayame would wait for her outside the classroom and read romance novels or play Game Boy Advance.
On this particular day fate would play a game. Tomoyo walked up the stairs followed by Ayame carrying her things. Soon the steps felt softer and farther from Tomoyo, as dizziness enveloped her, she tried to hide her pain from Ayame. 'I can do this' Ayame was oblivious to her companions' pain and she mindlessly daydreamed of another fantasy from her novels.
Eriol pushed open the school door and ran furiously towards his classroom.
"Oh damn, I can't believe I'm late!" he ran up the stairs almost stumbling.
As he passed the first flight he saw two figures walking silently up the stairs. 'These two don't even realized how late they are!' He didn't realized that it was Tomoyo and Ayame, but he froze when he saw the raven haired girl panting and gripping the railing tight. He knew sooner or later that something will happen so he moved faster, but before he got pass Ayame Tomoyo's body gave in. Her knees bended and she cried for Ayame. Ayame rushed to help Tomoyo! She saw Eriol pass him and carried Tomoyo. Turning to face the startled nurse, Eriol said to Ayame that he'll bring her to the clinic and she should inform the teacher their wherabouts.

She awoke to see a pair of azure eyes gazing down at her. Her puzzled eyes met his and she felt heat rise up her cheeks.
"Ah..." she tried to mutter a thank you but to no avail.
She felt his cold hands on her forehead and for the first time she heard him say,
"Do you still feel sick?"
She shook her head.
"Good. I'm so glad." he gave a sigh of relief.
Tomoyo looked at him and studied his appearance. His face was pale and he wore a pair of glassess. His look was sort of mysterious that gave him a handsome facade. Tomoyo couldn't help but blush at her little thoughts. 'Stop it!'
"Excuse me, but may I know your name?" the young man disrupted her thoughts.
"Uh..Tomoyo Daidouji." she managed to mutter
"Nice to meet you. My name is Eriol Hiiragizawa" he reached out his hand and she shook it.
"You were the one who helped me?" she asked
"Yes"
"Thank you. I wish to repay your kindness Hiiragizawa-san."
He only managed to laugh. At that moment Ayame and Tomoyo's teacher came inside the clinic. They wanted to confirm her status and if she still could handle school for that day.
And so their worlds meet....
