That Day=2

A/N: Here is the second chapter. I hope you'll like it as well. This is in Eriol's point of view, just so you know.

"Why are you here in Tomoeda, Hiiragizawa-kun?"

"I – I don't know."

The conversation kept repeating in my head. As soon as I brought Daidouji-san home, I quickly rushed back to the estate to calm myself. I couldn't believe that she caught me so off guard that I couldn't invent a lie. I used to be so good at that too.

Damned question. Dratted girl.

I sank into my favorite armchair and rested my eyes. I had to get back at her somehow and I will.

I went to school again and the people looked at me curiously, marveling at who the mysterious stranger might be. Of course they would, I made sure of that. You will not win against me, Tomoyo.

I slowly neared the class I would attend to. Get ready for your surprise, Daidouji-san.

I heard Umibe-sensei call the class' attention. I barely heard him saying that they had a new transfer student. That was my cue to enter.

I opened the door and found Sakura-chan staring at me and I smiled back. She quickly grabbed Tomoyo's arm and the girl looked up groggily. Her eyes widened when she saw me and then she glared. The reason was perhaps different from the day before.

"Ohayo! I am Hiiragizawa Eriol," I greeted the curious onlookers in front of me. Tomoyo glared at me even more as if to say 'what now'. I smiled at her.

I watched as Umibe-sensei looked for a seat for me. His eyes landed on the desk behind Tomoyo. I grinned.

"Ah . . ." said Umibe-sensei. "Hiiragizawa, you could stay behind Daidouji. Yes, she could tour you around the school. Is that fine with you, Daidouji-san?"

She nodded mutely and continued glaring at me. I was amused to no end that this day went almost exactly the same as yesterday.

Sakura jumped from her seat and threw her arms around me. "Kaerinasai! [Welcome home!]," she squeeled and released me. Behind her, I saw Tomoyo looking at us sourly.

Umibe-sensei looked surprised. "Kinimoto-san, you know Hiiragizawa?" he asked and Sakura nodded. "Could you tour him around school with Daidouji?"

Sakura looked thoughtful for a moment and placed her finger on her chin. I admit that she looked adorable that way, but the way Tomoyo's eyes glazed was more interesting. I assumed that she noticed my amusement for she quickly returned normal and glared at me.

"Gomen nasai, Umibe-sensei," Sakura said finally. "I have cheerleading practice later and a," she blushed lightly. "A date," she said.

I looked at Tomoyo. I haven't felt Li-kun's aura here in Tomoeda. Could I have possibly not noticed? Tomoyo grinned at me and raised her hand. It caught Umibe-sensei's attention and he allowed her to speak.

"Don't worry, Umibe-sensei," she said, standing up. "I also knew Hiiragizawa-kun in elementary. I'm sure we'll get along fine."

Umibe-sensei agreed and started on his lesson. Sakura smiled at me and faced front while I sat staring at Tomoyo's back for the whole time.

"Hiiragizawa-kun, what did you do?" Tomoyo asked me as we walked down the corridor towards the music room. "Weren't you Kawayami Tsuki yesterday?"

I laughed and smiled at her. "Thanks to you, I had to change that. You see, when you found out who I really was, I made everyone forget about me."

She frowned, halted and faced me. "Really? Why do I remember then?"

I merely walked ahead and left her gaping after me. I am winning.

I suddenly heard her laughing and I turned back. She was laughing her head off and I wasn't sure I wanted to know why.

When she finally stopped laughing, she drowned her eyes into my own with a solemn face. She grinned. "You think this is a game, don't you?"

I was surprised. However did she know my motives? "Where is Li-kun?" I asked, hoping to change the subject, but it did not deter her.

"He's in Hong Kong," she answered airily. "Now don't change the subject, Hiiragizawa. Is this some kind of demented game you have decided to play? Will you tell me the rules?"

I just realized that I have lost.

A/N: It isn't as good as I hoped it would be, but it'll do. If you think I should change it, please say so. The E+T will come later on.
