Chapter Five: Tears

"So you do remember" Eriol said without thinking at all. Shit, what did I say?!

He looked at the raven haired staring at him with those shocked amethyst eyes. Damn. He coughed and then continued, "I mean, you remembered I'm slightly older than you."

"Huh?"

Eriol managed to grin and said, "Remember the game we played awhile ago? I was lying about my age. I'm amazed that you managed to guess I'm older."

"Iie… you're onichan aren't you?" Tomoyo said quietly, "O-nichan… ne?"

Eriol just froze there. No…

Tomoyo just looked at Eriol as she continued to speak, "Even if I don't remember much… I still remember I had onichan and mama in England that I cherish and love…"

Tears started to form…

"Tsk tsk, Eriol, even in Japan you still make girls cry," a familiar voice behind Eriol.

Eriol sighed, "Xiao-lang…"

Syaoran grinned and said, "I know, I know it's not what I think." Then he diverted his attention to Tomoyo and walked away.

Eriol smiled to himself. That Xiao-lang

He wiped Tomoyo's tears and said, "Forgive me. It seems that we have a misunderstanding, Daidouji-san." He kissed Tomoyo's hand and with that he followed Syaoran. Leaving Tomoyo shocked and confused.

Eriol grinned and placed his arm over Syaoran's shoulder. "Well… I guess I owe you one."

"Tch, who was that anyway?" Syaoran said as he moved Eriol's arm off his shoulder.

"You already know her, Daidouji Tomoyo-san, heir to Daidouji Toys Inc and our classmate as well," Eriol said in an as a matter of fact way.

"God, I can never understand you. Get in the car," Syaoran said who is already in the driver's seat.

Eriol pouted as he sat next to the driver's seat. "Aww, don't be like that my little nephew."

A sigh…

Eriol removed his glasses and closed his eyes.

"I still remember I had onichan and mama in England that I cherish and love…"

I'm sorry… imouto.

"Oi, wake up," Syaoran said.

Eriol opened his eyes and saw that they are already… home…

Home huh…

"I'll go for a walk," Eriol said as he left the car and the Li mansion.

He looked up and saw an orangey sky.

Another sigh…

Then he saw, a park with a big penguin in the middle. No more children playing around.

Good

He sat on a swing. Then placed his hands inside his pocket and took out something thin and white…

Ah a cigarette.

Eriol took out his lighter. And with that he was smoking a cigarette.

It's been awhile… since I smoked.

Another sigh…

He swung, back and forth, back and forth…

A smile… a mask…

Then…

His azure eyes widened and quickly disposed of the cigarette.

Why?

"Ara, Daidouji-san," he greeted with a smile.

"Hiiragizawa-kun mind if I join you?" the amethyst eyed girl said. Tomoyo laughed.

"Go ahead," Eriol replied and then Tomoyo laughed

"Hmm? What's so funny?" Eriol inquired in an amused tone.

"I just remembered my actions awhile ago," she replied as she swung back and forth. She looked up and said, "Gomenasai… I'm sorry… you just…"

"It's me who should be sorry…"

"Haha, don't be," Tomoyo replied.

Eriol smiled and said, "Let's start again. Hello, I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa, 19 years old, born in England. Nice to meet you"

Tomoyo laughed and replied, "I'm Tomoyo Daidouji, 17 years old, also born in England but raised in Japan. Nice to meet you"

"You have great English for someone who was raised in Japan," Eriol commented.

"Don't be like that," Tomoyo said as she pouted, "Not all Japanese people are bad in English."

"I was only joking," Eriol grinned.

"We're in the same year but you're two years older than me, ne Hiiragizawa-niichan," Tomoyo said and then laughed.

"Aww, it makes me feel a lot older," Eriol replied.

Then the atmosphere turned quiet. "You don't have to hide it from me," Tomoyo suddenly said, "I know, you're onichan."

Persistent I see… fine…

Eriol just nodded. "But we're not related by blood right?" Tomoyo continued.

Again he nodded. Maybe yes, maybe no

"May I ask you a question?" Tomoyo asked.

"Sure."

"Do you know how I became your imouto?" Tomoyo asked, "Okasan never told me anything about our stay in England."

Eriol shook his head. Its better… that you don't know anything… imouto

"I see," Tomoyo replied, "Is Mama well?"

Eriol stopped swinging and quietly said, "Yeah. She's well in heaven."

Tomoyo stood up, tears in her eyes, "How?"

Eriol did not look up and replied, "She was sick."

"I see," Tomoyo replied. She crouched and looked at Eriol. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. So don't be sad," Tomoyo said with tear-filled eyes.

Eriol looked at Tomoyo who was crying silently. He got off the swing and hugged Tomoyo. "Hush, I'm here… imouto."

Under that orange sky…

With tears in their eyes…

The siblings were reunited once more...
