Chapter 4 - Confusion
Tomoyo woke up early the next morning. She looked to her side, and saw Sakura still sleeping peacefully. Tomoyo quietly changed and got
ready. She decided to take an early morning walk before everyone woke up. She unzipped her tent, and slipped on her shoes.

'It's a beautiful day again.'

Tomoyo chose a trail, and began walking down it.

"Daidouji-san!" a voice called.

Tomoyo whirled around, meeting Eriol's gaze.

"Hiiragizawa?" she questioned. "What are you doing here?"

"I always go for a walk in the morning. It makes me feel refreshed," he answered.

"I see," Tomoyo said.

"Mind if I accompany you?"

Tomoyo looked at him.

'What's going on? Yesterday, we hated each other, and now he's being so friendly!'

"Um, sure," Tomoyo said, lamely.

Eriol smiled at her, and they started walking.

"So, are you enjoying this trip?" he asked, trying to make conversation.

Tomoyo kept looking ahead. 'This is too awkward!' she thought.

"Yeah. It's been fun."

Eriol sensed her uneasiness, and asked her, "Daidouji-san? Would it be okay if we could be friends?"

Tomoyo stopped, and looked at him, confused. "You want to be friends?"

"If you don't want to, that's alright,"

Tomoyo blinked. She didn't know what to say. Did she want to be friends with Hiiragizawa? He was becoming a pretty nice guy. But then,
why did he mock her all the time before? And why did she seem to hate him so much?

"Hiiragizawa?"

"Yes?"

"Why did you always get on my nerves before?"

Eriol felt his heart begin to beat faster. Inside, he began to panic, but managed to show no emotion on the outside.

'I can't tell her I irritated her because I liked her... Not yet!'

"Daidouji-san...I-"

"Tomoyo-chan! Eriol-kun!" Sakura's familiar light and happy voice called.

Eriol sweatdropped.

Tomoyo turned to her friend. "Sakura-chan! You're up early!"

"I heard you leave the tent, and I wanted to see where you were going! I didn't know you were planning a walk with Eriol-kun!"

"Well...It wasn't exactly planned,"

"I saw Daidouji-san walking, so we decided to walk together," Eriol said.

Sakura grinned. "I'm so glad you two are finally getting along!"

Tomoyo smiled, but on the inside, she felt strange. It was weird finally getting along with Eriol, but she also felt happy knowing he wouldn't drive her crazy
anymore.

"Well, shall we head back? It's almost time for Breakfast." Eriol said.

"Hai!" Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded.

For breakfast they had scrambled eggs and toast. Tomoyo hardly ate anything. She'd enjoyed this trip, and they had to leave at lunch time today,
but Tomoyo's mind was on something else.

'The way Eriol looked at me...What was he trying to say?'

Sakura nudged her. "Is something wrong?"

Tomoyo shook her head, pushing away her confusing thoughts. "I just have alot on my mind, Sakura-chan."

***

After the trip was over, Eriol headed back to his mansion, and his slightly irritating guardians. Nakuru shot him a long string of questions as soon
as he got home.

"SO?! How was is?! Did you have fun?! Did you talk to Tomoyo-san?! What did you say?! Did you tell her how you felt?! You two would make such a kawaii couple!"
Nakuru swooned. "I really think you should tell her!"

"At least give him a second to speak!" Spinel said. "So, how was your trip, Eriol-sama?"

"I had a nice time." Eriol answered.

"Where's the details?!" Nakuru demanded.

Eriol smiled at her. "Perhaps I'll tell you later, Nakuru."

He heard Nakuru whining to Spinel as he walked to his study, and he couldn't help but grin. He sat down, and stared into the flaming fire.

'How am I ever going to tell Tomoyo how I feel? I know that before I do, I have to get on her good side. Maybe then, she'll start to consider
me as a friend.'
