Chapter 2:
Tomoyo's dream
It was already a week since Tomoyo entered Tomoeda junior high. The task of adjusting is not easy but thanks to her new friends, she is now happy with her life in Tomoeda.
"Ohayo minna-san!" Ms. Mizuki greeted cheerfully as she opened the classroom door.
"Ohayo." All of them greeted happily after their routine of transferring seats.
The teacher stopped by the table and faced the class. She put down her blue class notebook on the table and started the homeroom.
She cleared her voice and started. "As we all know, winter is coming soon. And with this, each class must prepare something to present in the parents night."
"And what will ours be, Kaho-sensei?" Sakura asked. Being active student in class, she always asks for a question to clarify things.
Kaho smiled at Sakura. She didn't care if Sakura would call her by her first name. After all, Touya and she have past when Sakura was still in elementary. "That is for you to decide."
The class went silent for a few moments to think. Some mumbled play, a song number or a dance number.
"Umm…" Syaoran entered, raising his hand.
"Li-kun?" Ms. Mizuki called out.
The boy behind Sakura stood up. "How many students should be involved?" He asked, making the other students think of a great idea.
"As long as one class will present something, it would be good." She answered.
"How about a song number?" one student suggested.
"Solo?" Meilin inquired, taking a look at the student on the third row.
All of a sudden, one thing popped into Eriol's mind. He grinned then gently raised his hand to say his thoughts.
Ms. Mizuki turned to his direction. "Hiiragizawa-kun?"
He stood up as soon as his name was called. "Umm… Tomoyo-chan sings very well."
Tomoyo's eyes widened as she heard Eriol's suggestion. She turned around to look at him and found that he was smiling at her.
"Then it is settled." Ms. Mizuki finally announced. "Any more suggestions?"
Sakura entered once again. She smiled first at Eriol and she began to talk. "Kaho-sensei, Eriol-kun is pretty good at playing the piano. Since he was the one to suggest my cousin for the song, it would be great if he would accompany her too."
"What?!" He shuttered, making everybody stare at him.
"Good idea, Ms. Kinimoto." The teacher said happily, ignoring Eriol's protest. "For the two of you, please decide a song and give it to me tomorrow."
Eriol groaned and gave Sakura a glare. They thought no one would say any single thing at all but one girl with a wild imagination raised her hand.
"Ms. Mizuki!" Naoko said.
"Ms. Yanagisawa?"
Naoko stood up with a smile on her face. "Maybe it would be unfair if only two students would present. As you can see, I have prepared a story and it can be translated for a play."
"Great idea." She commented. "Then that's it. Eriol and Tomoyo will be doing a song number then after it is a play participated by the others."
Tomoyo sighed, 'There is no turning back now.'
…-…
It was lunch and Tomoyo was the last person to arrive in their meeting place. Everyone was there, eating their lunch, except for the blue haired guy she wanted to see.
"Where is Eriol-kun?" Tomoyo inquired.
"Why are you looking for him?" Syaoran asked. Ever since, Syaoran and Eriol have known each other, they both considered each other as best friends or maybe even as real brothers. So whenever one of them is missing, everyone knows who to ask.
Meilin grinned. Another crazy idea came upon her. "Don't tell me you MISS our dear friend."
"No!" Tomoyo defended herself but didn't realize that her cheeks turned red. "I… I mean… I was going to ask him about our plans for the presentation and… And… I…"
"He is at the Music Room." Syaoran finally said, knowing that Tomoyo needs to run for the others couldn't ask stupid questions like the ones with Meilin.
Tomoyo sighed in relief. "Arigato gosaimasu, Li-kun."
With that she walked away and went straight to the Music room, which is located on the third floor of the building. On her last step on the stairs, she heard a melody coming from a piano.
'That must be Eriol.' She continued walking then at the end of the hallway, she stopped on the right door.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly opened it.
"Tomoyo-chan?" Eriol inquired with a confused look on his face. He stopped playing the piano for he was surprised to see a beautiful teen standing on the door on his left.
"Gomene." She apologized.
He only smiled. "Why are you apologizing?" He asked in a friendly tone. "You've done nothing wrong."
"Umm…" Tomoyo looked at his eyes and found that he was a bit happy that she was there. "I think I kind of… disturbed you."
Eriol chuckled. "Not at all. Come in."
She nodded then has a few steps forward until she reached the black grand piano.
"What are you playing?" She asked, touching the piano. "The melody is beautiful and the one playing it is doing it by heart… So it became amazing."
He chuckled once again.
"Nani?" Tomoyo raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry." He said after he cut off himself from laughing. He pushed back his glasses with his two fingers and laid his eyes on her. "It is just… It is weird that there are many things that run into my head but you, off all people, can understand me well."
Tomoyo blushed but did not let it show.
In a moment, Eriol moved his body on his right, leaving a big space on the chair. "Sit here… beside me. And I'll play once again."
She was hesitant at first but realized that she didn't have any choice. Tomoyo sat down beside him then closed her amethyst eyes.
The boy started to play the first notes of the song and it made Tomoyo shot her eyes open.
"Wait." She said as an interruption. "What you are playing is the song I was singing when we first met. How did—"
There was a smile on his face as he continued to play. "I am a pianist."
"And so?" Tomoyo shot back. "That song is not famous and you didn't even know the title when I was singing it."
"Well, let's say…" Eriol said. "The song went on me. That the moment I heard it, I spend many hours just to look for a piece."
Tomoyo removed her gaze on him. "Music is in you."
Eriol didn't say a thing. He let his hands move to produce such beautiful melody and after a few minutes, he realized that Tomoyo was not with him.
"You okay?" He asked in a full concern.
Through his voice, Tomoyo manage to travel back on the physical world. She faced Eriol and saw that he was staring at her with worried eyes.
Tomoyo smirked. "Hai. Sorry, I didn't mean to space out."
"What is it?" He kept on questioning. "Is something the matter?"
She shook her head. "I only remembered my dream when I was still in Tokyo."
Eriol then became interested. "What dream?"
…-…
-Flashback-
(Tomoyo's POV)
'Where am I?' I asked myself as I look around. I was trying to remember how I got into this unknown large place.
Walking around, I saw dark blue curtains covering the large windows. Everything was so elegant. The chandeliers, the paintings, and the red carpet I was walking on. With that, my eyes widened as I realized what kind of place I am in.
'Wait.' I stopped then my eyes once again scanned the whole surroundings. 'Am I in a mansion?'
A few seconds have past and I decided to walk once again. I need to find someone to find answers and how to go back at my place in Tokyo. The hallway was long but I tried to get over it when I heard some sort of music echoing. I took the right wing on the end then stopped on the door made of olive tree. Pushing it open, I saw the guy behind the beautiful music. He was on average height and his sincere eyes were covered with glasses.
-End of Flashback-
…-…
"Sakura…" Syaoran hissed at the girl beside him. Since Eriol stopped playing, they were watching the two. In the first thought, Syaoran would be the one to blame for eavesdropping because he was the guy. And if they will caught, he didn't like it one bit.
"Ssshh…" Sakura silenced him. She continued to see what Eriol's reaction was and what the two will do.
"Sugoi…" Eriol told in amazement. "He must be your destiny."
"What?" Tomoyo said. "Why do you think of that?"
He turned his eyes back on the piano and played a simple melody in his right hand. "Sometimes, dreams are there to show things in the future."
Tomoyo simply smiled. "I actually don't remember the guy's face. But he looks like…"
"Like?" He continued for her.
She gulped but answered. "…You."
He just gazed at her, not believing with what she had just said. "Honto ne?"
She nodded. "But dreams have different meanings right? So let's just see."
…-…
"So, how are you and Eriol doing?" Sakura asked happily. It was almost seven in the evening and Tomoyo is still on Sakura's study table, finishing her assignment in Geometry.
"We're doing fine." Tomoyo answered, not minding to look back.
Sakura smirked then settled herself on her pink bed. "As?" The tone of her voice was like she was expecting that Tomoyo would say something.
"What do you mean?" Sakura's cousin turned back, confusion was written all over her face.
The auburn haired girl gave a short laugh. "Oh nothing…" She said then changed the topic. "Are you doing fine with the practices? The program is in three days."
The other girl nodded, giving her a smile. "Eriol-kun is a great accompaniment so I have nothing to worry."
"It seems that you are comfortable with each other." Sakura pointed out, making Tomoyo glare at her.
"I am his friend." Tomoyo shot back.
"Oh well," Sakura said but didn't remove the smile on her face.
"What about the play?" Tomoyo asked then turned back once again to continue her work. "How is the role of being a princess?"
Sakura leaned back on the pink wall then grab a stuff toy on her left. "We're fine. Everything is settled and even the prince is doing very well."
With those words, an idea came on Tomoyo's mind. It was now her turn to tease her cousin. "How can Syaoran-kun not perform well? His princess is the person he loves in the reality."
"Oh shut up." Sakura told her, throwing the penguin stuff toy on Tomoyo.
There was a minute of silence and Sakura talked once again. And luckily, Tomoyo finished her work when she began.
"You know what?" Sakura said softly, looking at Tomoyo's eyes. "Eriol isn't like that before you came."
"What do you mean?"
Sakura sighed, remembering the first time she met Eriol. "What you see in Eriol now is so different. Before, he wants to be alone all the time. Only Syaoran persuade him to come along with us."
Tomoyo kept on listening.
"We can talk to him about everything." Tomoyo heard Sakura say. "Friends, family and love life. But he don't really open up to anyone."
"He doesn't open up to me." Tomoyo told her to make things clear.
Sakura nodded. "But I know he will. Someday he will say what he feels to a girl named Tomoyo Daidouji."
"Why does it have to be me?" Tomoyo asked.
"Because I know," Sakura said softly. "You are the one who can understand him."
Tomoyo smiled, knowing that Sakura would always know what is happening in her life. She might not say it but Sakura has her own way of doing things.
"Yeah." Tomoyo agreed. She looked at the sky filled with stars then mumbled, "Maybe… Someday…"
