Enigma Personified

Disclaimer: I still don't own CCS

A/N: I haven't written for the CCS category in a while. XD I miss Tomoyo. This is a two month late birthday fic for my "dear" friend, kaara-chan. She writes for CCS too. Please do visit her. :


He was a reincarnated wizard, so it made sense that he made her feel uncoordinated whenever he was around, smiling in such a way that she stumbled in the steps she had so gracefully walked down for all the years of her life. His eyes were always shining, a message trying to seep through the cerulean depths only to be blocked by the cloud of mystery he always seems to surround himself with.

But the fact that he was a powerful, powerful man, couldn't possibly affect her judgement. After all, who was she that he would waste a portion of his magical powers? Certainly, they were better suited off with her little kawaii Sakura-chan or Li-kun, for that matter.

But not her.

Tomoyo Daidouji stepped out of the shadows with a calm smile on her face that was half obscured by the portable video she held in hand. Sakura looked absolutely adorable magnified in her new lens, and the raven-haired girl couldn't help but voice it out loud.

"Dashing." a deep, boyish voice agreed behind her. Tomoyo straightened up cautiously, masking her stiffness with another award-winning smile and greeted him with all the poise that she had.

"And good evening to you too, Daidouji-san."

She returned to filming, trying to focus despite being aware of his presence behind her.

"What's the occasion?" he asked after a while. Perhaps he was trying to take my attention away from Sakura-chan, Tomoyo thought to herself, looking at the relieved look on her best friend's face. "The cards haven't been causing any trouble, have they now?"

"No!" Sakura denied at once, looking horrified at the mere suggestion. Tomoyo just had to laugh at her flustered expression. "Nothing like that at all!"

"Then why the get-up?"

"It's Li-kun's birthday…" Sakura mumbled in the tiniest voice, twisting her fingers beneath her elbow-long gloves. She looked up then down again. "Tomoyo said it was the best idea."

"Did she now?" Tomoyo wanted to hurl her traitorous heart for skipping a beat, but had to admit the sly look he had briefly sent her was worth the chills that shook her spine.

Sakura smiled and Tomoyo took the opportunity to remove thoughts of Eriol Hirigizawa from her mind. She forced a squeal and changed angles, allowing more distance between him and herself. And only when Sakura was between him and her was she able to breath properly.

He was addicting, she'll admit, but she'll try not to indulge in such temporary things.


A/N: SHORT FLUUUUUUUFFF!! That was way too short… and I'm sure I spelled Eriol's last name wrong. I'll be thinking of a second chapter. If I ever do go around to making one, this will probably end up as a series of one-shots. But for now… this will be complete.

REVIEW!!!
