Remember the Time

Chapter 2:

Scream

Eriol awoke the next morning in his apartment. It was a fair size for a single guy but he had some trouble getting to sleep. Tomoyo's shocked face was in his head like a nightmare. He wanted to scream. Eriol lied in his bed shirtless, he put on his glasses and reached for his phone. He was charging his cell. Eriol dialed Syaoran's cell.

Syaoran and Sakura were in the bed holding each other when Syaoran's cell ring tone went off. Sakura moaned holding Syaoran tighter. Syaoran opened his eyes and growled. "Don't answer it." Sakura said sleepily. Syaoran sighed and held Sakura tighter toward his strong body. But his cell kept ringing. Syaoran sat up and picked up his cell. Sakura groaned and put a pillow over her head. "What!" Syaoran shouted annoyed.

"Why the hell didn't you tell me Tomoyo was back?" Eriol asked pissed. "Why the fuck do you care? You broke up with her, well each other, actually." Syaoran said rubbing Sakura's back helping her relax. "Well I have to deal with it, she's the new vocal coach at the studio the I work at." Eriol exclaimed. Syaoran laughed. "Sakura guess what, Eriol and Tomoyo work at the same studio." Syaoran laughed even harder.

"What?" Sakura said lifted her head making the pillow fall back. Sakura sat up and took Syaoran's cell while he laughed fall back on the bed. Sakura sighed and put a pillow over his face. "Your kidding?" Sakura gasped thinking she was working somewhere else in Tokyo.

"I saw her last night, why didn't you tell me she was in Japan?" Eriol asked agin. "I didn't think you'd care." Sakura said. "You know what, why do we meet at the bakery on 33d." Eriol said. "Okay." Sakura answered and then Eriol hung up.

Eriol sat up in his bed and got out and went into the shower for a hot shower.

Tomoyo cried in her pillow, it was happened agin. Tomoyo sniffed and looked up at her clock. She had to go to the studio today, Tomoyo cried even harder remembering her fight with Eriol so many years ago. But she couldn't. She couldn't cry for him agin she had enough. Tomoyo sat up and smoothed back her black hair and sighed repeating that she was stronger then that. She was strong.

Sakura and Syaoran sat in the bed holding each other. "What a predicament." Sakura said finally. Syaoran kissed Sakura head and rested his cheek on Sakura head. "You think?" Syaoran said. Sakura softly nodded. "It's been what, eight years since that talked or seem each other." Sakura said counting the years. "She was a mess after they broke up." Syaoran stated. "Mmm." Sakura agreed. "I thought they loved each other." Sakura said sadly. "Well they were young. Young love doesn't last really long." Syaoran said.

Sakura punched Syaoran in the side. "Ouch! What was that for?" Syaoran said sitting straight up and rubbing his side. "What about us?" Sakura asked. "Oh, well were another story, baby." Syaoran said with a smile. Sakura giggled and kissed Syaoran on the cheek. Syaoran grinned. "Babe, Tomoyo loved Eriol. She never really dated anyone since him." Sakura said snugging up in Syaoran's arms.

"And you know this how?" Syaoran asked. "She told me. But I think she's afraid of falling in love agin or at least liking someone after you-know-what happened later." Sakura exclaimed. Syaoran sighed and got out the bed in his long black Pj. pant and white tee-shirt.

"Sakura no." Syaoran said pointing to her and taking off his shirt. "What do you mean 'no'?' Sakura asked confused. "Don't play coy." Syaoran said walking to the bathroom. Sakura got out the bed wearing her super girl tank top and black short pants as she began to make up the bed. "How can I play coy? I don't know what your talking about." Sakura shouted to Syaoran who was in the bathroom brushing his teeth.

Sakura heard Syaoran spit and walk into the room holding in green toothbrush. "You wanna play match maker. Eriol and Tomoyo aren't getting back together they argue too damn much, that's not a relationship, that's a nightmare." Syaoran said walking out of the room and back into the bathroom brushing his teeth.

Sakura sighed and put her hair up in a messy bun. "Well, they just had a speed bump, it happens. They might still love each other." Sakura said. Syaoran spit agin and walked in. "A speed bump, that's a landslide, an earthquake. We have speed bump's they have meltdowns." Syaoran corrected Sakura.

"Well, I'll invite her to come with us, 'cause this is crazy." Sakura said picking up her pink Nokia cell phone and calling Tomoyo. Syaoran walked in and looked at her. "Great just what I need with my morning coffee." He sighed and walked back into the bathroom washing out his mouth.

Tomoyo's cell went off she sat up and sniffed and whipping her tears away. "Hello?" Tomoyo answered. "Morning Tomo!" Sakura said in her energetic voice. Tomoyo smiled she was happy to hear her friend voice. "Morning." Tomoyo said trying to sound happy. "Are you doing anything this morning, I wanted to take you to breakfast on 33rd." Sakura said. "No, not really, I'm doing something later this morning but sure I'll come, Is Syaoran going to be there?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yes, among other things." Sakura muttered. "TOMOYO DON'T LISTEN TO HER!" Syaoran shouted. Sakura picked up a pillow and threw it to Syaoran's head knocking him down. "What?" Tomoyo said confused on the other line. "Nothing, I'll see you at breakfast, bye." Sakura said hanging up along with Tomoyo who go out the bed and began getting ready.

Syaoran sat up seeing Sakura walking over to him. "You can't make them make up, they hate each other . . . seriously." Syaoran said with a sigh. "So, I don't want them fighting at our wedding, I hate having two of my best friends hating each other because of something stupid that they should have gotten over eight years ago." Sakura said frustrated. Syaoran stood up and walked passed Sakura to his dresser draws. "Look, Eriol and Tomoyo loved each other once, and that was in the past just let them be." Syaoran said seriously.

Sakura began to cry silently. Syaoran turned back to Sakura and wrapped his strong arms around her small waist and brought her to his warm body. "Shh, it's okay." Syaoran said and kissed Sakura's shoulder. "No, it's not." Sakura chocked out. "I wanted the perfect wedding with all my friends and family there happy and loving each other, I don't want them to hate each other." Sakura cried. Syaoran sighed. "It's okay, they'll work it out soon, I'll make sure of it, I want our day to be wonderful. Just for us." Syaoran whispered in Sakura's ear.

Sakura sighed and sniffed and chuckled. "Is this the only reason why I love you so much?"

Syaoran kissed Sakura's cheek and let her go. "No, it's because I'm the only good looking guy to pass you by." Syaoran teased. Sakura rolled her eyes.

Eriol was sitting at his usual table in the back were no one bugged him. Eriol was buying some more music for his Ipod, One of his favorite pass times like reading and what not. Eriol had the ear phone on listening to a dance mix that had Latin music mixed in it. It was really different, he liked it. Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo walked in the small shop and tried to keep Tomoyo from looking at the table were Eriol was. But it wasn't as if she could see them. He was sloughing in his seat typing and downloading music as he waited.

Eriol changed the song he was listening to and now was bobbing his head to 50 cent, In da club. Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo sat down. Syaoran was bracing himself to the worst out of Eriol and Tomoyo. "Hey, man." Syaoran said loud enough for Eriol to hear. Eriol lifted his head from his Apple laptop and looked up seeing Tomoyo.

Tomoyo turned her head and looked at Eriol who looked as shocked as she did. Syaoran moved his chair over and held his breath. "I hope you didn't mind me bring Tomoyo." Sakura said to Eriol who turned his gaze to Sakura. "No, it's fine." He said slowly as the waitress came for there order.

Tomoyo looked away fro Eriol ignoring him completely. "I'll have a french roast coffee with cream and a strawberry muffin." She said and the waitress wrote it down. "I'll have some pancakes hold the butter." Syaoran ordered.

"I'll have a black coffee, straight up." Eriol said feeling like he was going to need a bitter shock for his bad mood. "I'll have some scrambled eggs and some toast with orange juice." Sakura ordered.

"Okay, your orders will be ready soon." The waitress said walking off seeing more people walking in. Eriol sighed hearing his cell ring. "Oh, wait a minute." Eriol said and flipped open his cell and began talking in French. Tomoyo looked to Sakura. "What is your problem, he invited you two not me, I'm leaving." Tomoyo said standing up showing her white spring dress that stopped at her knees and hugged her waist.

Eriol almost felt himself blush as he was checking Tomoyo out for a second but then looked back at his laptop screen. Sakura took Tomoyo's wrist and lead her back into the seat. "No stay." Sakura said through her teeth. Tomoyo was almost afraid at Sakura actions. Eriol hung up his phone and sighed. "Who was that?" Syaoran asked looking at a magazine.

"The Bastard that sold me the house in England, what a prick." Eriol said rudely in Japanese. Syaoran sighed. "Not him." He said. Tomoyo looked to Eriol and began talking in french:

"Did you know they brought me?" She said. Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other shocked that Tomoyo could speak french. "No." Eriol answered back sharply in french.

"Then I'm leaving." She said back and stood up taking her black purse. "Why?" Eriol said in french leaving Syaoran and Sakura in the dark. "Because I can." Tomoyo said walking away. "Tomoyo where are you going?" Sakura called in Japanese. "Sakura, I'm sorry, I can't do this." Tomoyo said walking off and heading to the studio.

Tomoyo went to the back of the studio and went to the swimming pool. Tomoyo went into the locker room and changed into her one piece black swim suit. Tomoyo looked at her watch and took it off and braided her hair back and went into the still cold water. Tomoyo shivered for a moment and then put her purple goggles on and went under the water and swam about.

Eriol soon after breakfast went to the pool. Since the swim teacher Mujo was sick, so lesson weren't for weeks. Eriol put on his dark swim trunks on and went to the pool. It was another way to pass the time, he had a Waltzing class to teach too anyway, he wanted to burn some time. The water was still and everything was quiet. Eriol walked around the pool looking at the still water. Tomoyo was already out the pool taking a breather.

Eriol stopped hearing Tomoyo sighed. He looked ahead and everything seemed to slow down. Tomoyo took out her messy braid and flipped her hair around. Eriol felt like he was melting like he did when we was a kid but he snacked out of it. "Look what we have here." Eriol said sitting on the edge on the pool putting his feet in. Tomoyo gasped and turned around looking at Eriol.

"What are you doing here?" Tomoyo said angry that he found her agin. "Hell, I work here, remember?" Eriol said back. Tomoyo growled as Eriol slowly took off his glasses and slipped into the water. "I would say it's nice to see you, but it's not really. I find it rather tragic." He said slowly as he kept his back to the pool. Tomoyo rolled her eyes. "But I can say you've . . . grown." He chuckled. Tomoyo looked away from Eriol and walked to the deepest side of the pool

"Nothing to say out of your sweet little mouth, Daidoji?" Eriol asked teasingly. "Bite me." Tomoyo growled and dived into the water. Eriol shock his head. "Yes, a cunning little thing." He said to himself. Tomoyo came up to the surface and took a breath and swam about. Eriol was sitting at his same spot with his eyes closed.

Tomoyo didn't feel comfortable with Eriol in the pool, it made her tense. "You know, when I first saw you," Eriol began looking back at Tomoyo. "I thought you'd cut your hair by now."

"Oh, really I thought you would have jumped off a building by now." Tomoyo shot back. "Ho, ho, ho." Eriol chuckled. "Looks like time was very good to you." He said. Tomoyo didn't looked at Eriol, she went back under the water and swam about for about a minute.

Tomoyo came up to the surface a few feet away from Eriol. She pulled up her swimming goggles and sighed. "You can seriously hold a grudge." Eriol said swimming closer to Tomoyo. Tomoyo backed away. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Tomoyo said with anger. "You still mad about something that happened over eight years ago." Eriol said annoyed. "Piss off as they say in England, Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo said swimming to the other side and climbing out the pool.

"Why not talk about it since you want so many people to open up to you." Eriol said coldly. Tomoyo turned around with her hair flipping around. "If I wanna talk I'll talk, but never to you!" Tomoyo shouted. Eriol rubbed his left ear. "Still got a big mouth." Eriol said. "Fuck you." Tomoyo said walking over to her towel.

Eriol laughed and climbed out the pool. "That's a little dark for you." He said. Tomoyo frowned. "You don't even know me, you little blue haired-ass shaking-flirting-little prick." Tomoyo said almost in one breath and stormed off. Eriol scoffed. "At least I moved on!" He called. Tomoyo turned her head feeling more furious with Eriol then anyone, she went into the girls locker room and slammed the door.

"Dang, I thought I was stubborn." Eriol said looking at his watch. About ten more minutes and he could go back to his studio and teach this class.

Tomoyo walked into her studio seeing her students talking and playing around. "Hello everyone!" Tomoyo called over there voices and everyone took there chairs. Tomoyo sighed. "Mrs. Tomoyo are you alright." A student asked in the back. "Yes, why wouldn't I be?"

"We all saw you and Mr. Hiiragizawa fighting did you know him?" A girl named Matsu asked. Tomoyo blushed. 'Great just what I need.' She thought.

Eriol got the same question from his class except he wasn't as shocked, from Tomoyo yelling the whole world could have heard. "Do you know here?" Asked his waltzing students. Eriol rubbed his neck and sighed. "Yes." He answered dully. "Were you friends?" Another student asked. Eriol chuckled. "She was my sweetheart in high school." He said.

Tomoyo sighed after exclaiming that she used to date Eriol in High school. "Wow, Eriol dated someone for more then seven minutes." Another student said. "Yes, and it's over so lets start class." Tomoyo said clapping her hands and going to the piano.

Eriol sighed and went to his small desk and sat down. "Could you guys just wait a moment before we start I have to listen to this." Eriol said as he began to play Scream by Michael Jackson.

Eriol sighed as he listened to the music. Most of the class was dancing. Not Waltzing, mind you, just dancing.

Eriol sighed and turned his Computer's MP3 player to some classic music as everyone stopped dancing. "Okay, let's proceed." Eriol said clapping his hand twice.

Night time came and Tomoyo was still thinking about Eriol for some reason. She was still mad. Tomoyo at on her small couch and turned on the T.v. and surfed threw the channels. News: boring, commercials: boring, Wolf rain: Seen it a million times, soap opera: here something to watch. Tomoyo hugged her pillow as she watched the show. It was the same 'he was my best friend and now I'm in love with him but I can't be with him because his dating my best friend' kinda thing. Tomoyo sighed and muted the show as it was going on commercial.

Tomoyo picked up her home phone and dialed Sakura's numbers.

Sakura and Syaoran were outing picking flowers for the wedding. Sakura's phone went off as Syaoran was about to say something about the tulips. "One sec, sexy." Sakura said smiling answering her phone as Syaoran went to the woman that was touring them. "Hello?" Sakura said.

"Hey, Sakura, you busy?" Tomoyo asked feeling somewhat at ease hearing her best friends voice. "Not really just picking out some flowers for the wedding, you alright, you sound depressed." Sakura asked concerned walking farther away from Syaoran. "I guess." Tomoyo lied.

"Tomoyo, I know you better then that." Sakura said. Tomoyo sighed on the other line. "I had a argument with Hiiragizawa today and everyone heard, I can't believe this." Tomoyo said and sighed once more. Sakura shook her head. "I thought you two would be able to talk like humans this morning at breakfast." Sakura said.

Tomoyo scoffed. "Like I'm talking to him ever agin, I hate him."

"Tomoyo, just because you were his boyfriend that doesn't mean you can't just be friends, don't let me remind you of Mar." Sakura added. Tomoyo touched her jaw slightly and looked away. "Look, I just want him gone, I can't stand being around him a moment longer, I'll work the days he isn't around if that's possible." Tomoyo said. "Look, Eriol's is not that bad, he might want to be friends." Sakura assured. Tomoyo shook her head. "Whatever, Sakura. I'll talk to you later." Tomoyo said and hung up not believing her best friend was defending Hiiragizawa.

Sakura walked back over to Syaoran who was pointing to the plum blossoms. Syaoran turned his head seeing the sad expression on Sakura's face. "What's the matter, you don't like plum blossom?" Syaoran said. Sakura sighed: "It's Tomoyo and Eriol agin, I can't take this anymore, this break-up was over eight years ago, not to mention what happened with Tomoyo and Mar." Sakura said. Syaoran growled. "I still want to kick his ass for what he did to her."

Sakura kissed Syaoran on the cheek. "C'mon, happy thoughts." Sakura said. Syaoran sighed and went back to listening to the woman making suggestions.

Eriol was in his boxers and tee-shirt, he was thinking about Tomoyo agin. She was hot! He had to admit that, but she was such a bitch. Tomoyo had grown, she was slim, lean, kinda tall, and super sexy. Eriol almost blushed at the thought of Tomoyo's damp body in that black swim suit but then he remembered her sharp tone. Eriol walked into his closet and took a black box from behind his shoes. It was all the picture that he had of Tomoyo at fifteen.

Eriol sat on his bed and opened the box seeing Tomoyo smiling with her hair blowing in the wind that day they went to the beach, Tomoyo was smoking hot when she was a teenage but she was sexy now. Eriol picked up another picture of Tomoyo and Eriol when they were ten, he remember that day:

Flashback

It was another day for Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo, except the fact they rumors about a new transfer student was around. Everyone was excited to meet him or her. Tomoyo sat next to Sakura while Syaoran was behind her blushing. There teacher came in holding his usual black lesson book and sat it on the podium that was at the front of the class, everyone stopped chatting. "Good Morning everyone." He said with a small smile looking at his pupils. "Good Morning Mr. Terada." The class said back. He nodded.

"I'm sure everyone heard about our new Exchange student from England." He said with a smirk. "You can come in now." Mr. Terada said and The little ten-year old Eriol Hiiragizawa stepped into the room. Everyone began chatting as Eriol's serious firm eyes scanned the room. Tomoyo looked to Eriol and then whispered something to Sakura who nodded. Eriol noticed how Tomoyo stood out in the class from her exceptional beauty was like a fairy tale from a book he read with her long flowing black hair her lavender eyes, her mischievous lips that seemed to hold a secret and her milky tan-ish skin. Eriol was instantly blushing slightly but kept a firm face as he bowed after the teacher said his name and assigned him to a seat behind Tomoyo.

Tomoyo looked up to Eriol and smiled. Eriol smiled back. Tomoyo and Sakura turned in there seat. "I'm Sakura Kinomoto, welcome to Japan." She said politely. "Thank you." Eriol said back with a slight smile. Tomoyo smiled too. "My name is Tomoyo Daidoji and his name is Syaoran Li, I hope you'll enjoy your stay in Japan." She said in her angelic voice.

"Thank you very much." Eriol said in japanese that was perfect. Tomoyo handed Eriol a small eraser that was shaped like a flower. "I know it's girly but maybe you can use it for later." Tomoyo said. Eriol nodded and from that point on her had a super crush on Tomoyo Daidoji.

End Flashback

Eriol smirked picking up the old eraser that he saved. One of his favorite memories of Tomoyo was first meeting her. Eriol looked down at a locket that Tomoyo got from him it was there first anniversary gift when they started dating each other. Eriol promised Tomoyo he would wear it forever but it didn't matter.

Eriol sighed and put the memories back in the box and shook his head. "No more, no more." He said and took of his glasses and put the box away with Tomoyo still lingering him in and out of his mind. But then he drifted off to sleep.

Tomoyo lied in her bed. She couldn't help but think back to the painful memories from Eriol after they broke up ,she was a mess:

Flashback

Tomoyo walked all the way home from Tokyo after Eriol went home on the bus she didn't care anymore about anything. Tomoyo's tears slid down her cheeks as she walked. People stared and whispered things about her but she didn't care. She lost everything, the only guy she ever loved left her and it was all her fault. Tomoyo wanted to talk to someone . . . Sakura her best friend no matter what.

Tomoyo walked down the street smelling of cherry blossom and the sweet summer air. Tomoyo walked up to the yellow house and knocked on the door hoping Sakura would answer it. And she did. Sakura looked to Tomoyo with concern seeing her tear stained face, and without question Sakura let Tomoyo in and led her too her room.

Sakura locked the door and the two fifteen year olds sat down on Sakura's pink bed. "Tomoyo what's the matter?" Sakura asked worried even more as the tears slid down her face even faster. "Sakura, I'm so stupid." Tomoyo sobbed even harder covering her face with her hands.

Sakura got up from her bed and went over to her desk for a box of tissue. Sakura sat in front of Tomoyo and patted her knee. "Here." Sakura said handing her the box. Tomoyo sniffed and took the box and whipped her eyes and her running mascara. "Sakura I s-s-screwed up so badly." Tomoyo chocked out.

"What happened?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo sniffed and blow her nose and put the used tissue in the trash can. "Eriol and I broke out into another fight at the park and then we broke up." Tomoyo sobbed even harder. Sakura gaped in shock and she hugged her friend. "It's okay." Sakura said in the soothing voice. "N-n-no i-it's n-not, he said that she should have broken up with me weeks ago, he never loved me, I hate him!" Tomoyo shouted. Sakura held Tomoyo closer and patted her friends back.

"Tomoyo I'm sure he didn't mean it." Sakura said feeling Tomoyo hot tears on her shirt. "No, he did, I never want to see him agin, never!" Tomoyo shouted in Sakura arms.

Two days after Tomoyo hadn't seen Eriol and the thought made her sick she barely ate or spoke to anyone. Syaoran and Sakura tried there best to cheer her up but it was useless. Tomoyo was in a void only she could get out of.

End of Flashback

Tomoyo sighed and looked up to the ceiling remembering what Eriol used to taste like we they kissed. Tomoyo touched her bottom lip and sighed. She hated him still everything about him, no matter what. She's hate him until the world ended. It made her sick at the thought. Tomoyo turned in her bed and closed her eyes.
