Title: A Heart's glance

Summary: What if you could see the future five days before it happens but there's a glitch. You could only see the soul mate of a person. Talk about luck right? Not. I always refuse to see my counterpart would be, afraid to be obsessed and drive myself crazy looking for him. But when I accidentally take a peek…. Damn, he's everything I've dreamed of, but when I finally met him… a happily ever after? How could it be when he was my mom's fiancé and will be my stepfather in three weeks?

Chapter two: Soul mate?

"It's got one bedroom, a bathroom, walk-in closet, a kitchen, a spacious living room and an overlooking balcony of the beach. So what do you think?" The landlord looks around just to see a spaced out girl inspecting the apartment blankly.

Not expecting to get a response any time sooner he tries again. "I could give it to you for…"

"I'll take it!"

The startled land owner sheepishly takes the check she's handing to him. "Are you sure, you haven't seen the other rooms yet?" He asked as he hesitatingly gives her the key.

"Yes, thank you."

"REALLY?!"

A bubbly girl squealed coming from the other room, "Tomoyo, I'm so glad. Its five minutes away from ours by car and twenty minutes if you walk. And the beach…"

Sakura continued to babble on her own, not noticing a shrugging Syaoran walking out to get the luggage in the car and Tomoyo disappears to the balcony.

As she opens the balcony doors, the refreshing sea breeze splashes on her face, warmly greeting her presence. Tomoyo embraces the scene with her grateful eyes as she half listens to Sakura's excitement.

She leans on the balcony supporting her weight of hopelessness and sighs, 'I wish I could be this excited. I still have no idea what to do if the time comes that I have to face them.' Tomoyo turns around to the rustling sounds behind her and saw her cousin.

"Tomoyo, I know it's really unexpected and sudden. But once you see them, all your worries would evaporate into thin air." Sakura encouraged.

Tomoyo just nodded, still lost in her thoughts, gazing at the calm sea.

Sakura pondered, "So what time are you going to visit them?"

"…"

"Tomoyo did…"

"Next week"

"N-NANI? But Tom…"

"I need to see first this fiancé of hers before I confront them. I need to know if his suitable for my mother. So please don't tell a soul about me coming here, at least for the week." Tomoyo pleaded.

"But Tom, it's…"

"Please, Sakura no one will recognize me if I disguised myself as a foreigner. It's also been five years, there's a lot of changes in me."

And it is true, her hair is shorter now. She wears colored contacts. She's taller and thinner. Her fashion sense had drastically changed as she adapts with her career. She wears black or darker clothes more unlike before. Imagine Reese Witherspoon in her movie "Sweet Home Alabama."

"B-but…"

"Sakura, try to understand Tom." Syaoran wraps his arms in his wife's waist and soothes her.

"Tom, if you need anything we'll be glad to help you in any way."

"Thanks Syao, I really appreciate it."

The stinging rays of the sun pricks her pale and smooth skin, but she didn't mind it at all. Wearing a fashionable shades and the usual black outfit, Tomoyo leisurely walks around town. Lost with all the memories flooding back at her, she bumps unceremoniously to someone.

She immediately bows her head and utters an apology, "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking at where I'm going. Gomen."

"It's okay. Are you okay Miss? You're not from around here, right? Are you lost or something? Maybe I could be of any assistance?"

Tomoyo slowly look up to see the owner of the gentle voice only to gape at him in shocked.

"Y-you… you… What are you doing here?"

The stranger gawks at her in return and reply, "Um… me? Excuse me. Do we know each other? I'm sorry but I don't remember."

He squint his eyes trying to force himself to remember who she is.

'He… he's the guy in the vision. Why here? Of all the time? Why now?'

She tries to snaps out with her musings as the stranger gives her a confusing look. 'Damn, I've got to get out of here. I'm not ready for this.'

"I'm sorry, I though you were someone else," she lied. She bows again and says, "I'm really sorry for bumping into you."

She then hastily attempts to pass him, terrified on the reactions she might make if she stands there a little longer.

"Um, wait. I didn't mean to sound rude or anything. I didn't get you name. And even if I'm not the one you're expecting to be…"

'Oh you have no idea you are,' she sighs.

"… I could be another person to be acquainted in this small town. We would be bumping into each other sooner or later. Or maybe we have common friends we don't know about so better start now than later. Right?"

Still dazed, she just nodded at him, staring at his features. 'Damn, what am I doing? Why am I checking him out already?'

Extending his hand, he introduced himself. "I'm Eriol Li, nice to meet you…"

Staring at his hand, she mentally kicks her ass trying to figure out what to do. Sighing in defeat, she grabs it gently and shakes it. "Nice to meet you Li, I'm T-Tracy… Ah, Tracy Masterson."

"So you mean.. ha… ha… to say… ha.. ha.. ha… you were… ha.. ha… you were mistaken to be the expectant father of you pregnant niece and you get yelled at by a stranger of incest in a public place? Ha ha ha… that was priceless… wish I was there…" Tomoyo hysterically throw a fit of laughter from the story of her new friend.

They had an early lunch together and now strolling in her favorite park.

"Ok. Ok. So enough about me. How about you? What's your story?"

Eriol saw the changed in his new friend's face and suddenly regretted his question.

Tomoyo's mood suddenly shifted uneasily and tries to cover it as she attempts to make an impromptu response to Eriol's query.

"Oh, I don't have any interesting stories like yours. I'm just an ordinary girl trying to reach for a dream in this uncaring world. I just came here to attend to some business."

Pausing, she glances at her companion who is just gazing at the sky above.

And she continues, "I'm not from around here. And not to be rude I still don't fully trust you yet. Not just because you treated me to lunch that I'm going to spill everything out to you. You might be a serial killer or something," she joked.

"My bad, he he he… But maybe we could fix that, another lunch maybe?" Eriol pressed on.

"Hmm.. we'll see."
