The Forgotten Clow. I haven't gotten any reviews! *sniff* And I worked

appreciate it. Thankies, good readers! Now if we may, let's begin!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo and her mother ate their breakfast in silence. Tomoyo didn't mind, though. If Sonomi (She no longer called her mother, what kind of mother had she been to her?) cared nothing for her, she cared nothing for Sonomi. Their conversations were short and simple. Each knew that the other was perfectly fine with the distance, that they could take care of themselves without any help from the other.
Sonomi looked up from the paper cordially, gazing at the bandages on her arm. "How did you get those?" She wasn't concerned, but every once and a while Tomoyo guessed she decided she must have something to say to her, so she wouldn't turn her in for child neglect of something. Like she would. The one good thing the woman had done for her besides spoil her with her huge allowances was brought her into the world. She respected her enough to keep quiet. After all, wasn't she happy?
"I had an accident in science class." She finished her rice.
"Good thing they didn't send you home. I hate it when they do that. As if I have time to worry about things like that. I'm a busy woman. Besides, you were fine, you take care of yourself."
Tomoyo smiled but ignored her as she returned her dish to the counter to be washed. She grabbed her schoolbag and headed for the door.
"I'm off."
"Have a nice day."
Tomoyo smirked at the absurdity of that last remark and stepped outside, where the day was hers to seize.

At the same time, the wiry frame of a young man was visible in the shadows as he stepped off of his flight. His glasses glinted with the passing of an incoming plane outside the glass, its silver body absorbing the morning sun.
In his hand was a creased slip of paper. He looked down at it as he claimed his luggage. A house in the wealthy district..... He wasn't far. He would walk.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo smiled and laughed as she chatted with her chorus of friends at lunch. Sakura sat hunched over her own lunch, used to being ignored by Tomoyo's friends. She knew it was useless to accept, but she must see to it that Tomoyo didn't hurt herself again... Besides, Eriol would be coming soon.....
"And how ugly! Don't you agree, he's a monstrosity?" It was one of Tomoyo's new schoolgirl friends speaking.
Tomoyo threw her head back and laughed. She smirked into her shabu shabu, grasping a warm, marinated strip with her chopsticks. This was the way to live. Whatever had she been thinking before? Then she paused. Her stomach churned. Something didn't feel right.....
"Tomoyo-chan, are you ever going to eat that?" one of the girls giggled. Tomoyo snapped back to reality.
She pushed the feeling aside. "Oh, yeah, eventually. Oh no, I'm turning into him!" The whole table broke out in hysterics.
Sakura gazed at Tomoyo, trying to eat while laughing. She had seen her pause before, that look in her eyes......
She felt something.......Him........Eriol is here. Sakura continued to look at her, but she had already returned, and she knew she had no intentions of pulling herself back into the dark place she had been in before.
Or maybe so.......
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo skipped lightly through the entrance of her house, just waving away the last of her friends as they disappeared behind the bushes. Besides that feeling at lunch, today had been a breeze. She wouldn't even need a torture. She smiled, briskly climbing the stairs to her room. Life was perfect. Oh, if only it would last forever....
"Hello, Tomoyo-sama," came a masculine voice from behind as she lay down her school satchel. She froze. Her insides seized up. No, no.........
She dropped the backpack almost mechanically. All the color had drained from her face, all of the evidence of the cheerful mood she had felt just seconds ago was gone. She turned around, slowly backing out toward the balcony. Her expression was horror of the utmost escalation.
"So I've found you," said Hiragaziwa Eriol with a smile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh, the suspense! We have reached our climax! They're always so short.......... but oh well. Keeps you tuned, doesn't it? Well, anyway, I've talked enough. I love to hear from all of you! But, for now, ja ne!
