^No POV^

"TOMO—" Nakuru prevented herself from screaming as she bowed down slightly, "Hello, Tomoyo-san. If you're looking for Master, he's at the hall." Tomoyo beamed, "Arigatou gozaimasu." Tomoyo stepped into the hall, "Eriol-kun? Are you there?"

Eriol stood up from his armchair and quickly headed towards Tomoyo, "Tomoyo-san! What are you doing here?" Tomoyo giggled as she held out sheets of paper in front of Eriol, "I forgot to hand you the lyrics. This is for the new lyrics for our song!" Tomoyo smiled, "The concert is in less than two weeks already. We've already got two songs prepared. We need another two."

Eriol smiled as he took the papers, "No problem, Tomoyo-san. I'll complete this in two days' time, alright?" Tomoyo nodded, smiling, "Alright." Tomoyo glanced at the clock in the living hall, "It's already eight! I better get home now!"

"Tomoyo-san!" Nakuru's voice cried out from behind. Tomoyo turned around, "Hai?" Nakuru smiled, "Is Okaasan at home?" Tomoyo shook her head, "Okaasan is going to be home very late today because of her business dinner. But I haven't eaten my breakfast yet."

A beam appeared on Nakuru's face, "Why not you stay for dinner, Tomoyo-san?" Tomoyo shook her head, "It's not so good, I mean—"

"Do stay for dinner, Tomoyo-san. Then maybe after that, we can practice our songs." Eriol's eyes smiled, "How about it, Tomoyo-san?" Nakuru nodded excitedly, "And the skit! The performance is only one week away!"

Tomoyo bowed down her head before looking up again, beaming, "Then if it's ok, arigatou gozaimasu, then!"

Nakuru cheered, "Then after dinner, you and Eriol will practice the songs and maybe at eight, we'll rehearse the skit, ok?"

Tomoyo beamed, "Hai!" Eriol smiled.

For the first time in his life, he actually wanted to tell his butterfly guardian that she was heck brilliant.

"Tomoyo-san?"

Eriol called out as he looked up from the piano keys which he had been playing to compose the song previously. Eriol glanced at Tomoyo who was busy writing down something on a paper. She was possibly too absorbed in whatever she was doing to hear her name being called.

Eriol instantly felt his throat went dry as he watched the dark strands of her hair flowed down to her back, her beautiful amethyst eyes that twinkled as she wrote whatever she was writing and her petal-like cheeks that—

ERIOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eriol mentally slapped himself. For Kami-san's sake! He was actually lusting for a girl! Eriol shook his head.

Wake up Eriol. You're getting practically mad.

Eriol looked up and tried again, "Tomoyo-san." Tomoyo looked up at Eriol and smiled, making his knees go weak, "Is it done?" Eriol nodded, "It is." Tomoyo smiled as she plopped down beside Eriol on the bench, making a slight stain on Eriol's face and causing a flutter to occur in her heart.

"We'll try it out then, Eriol-kun. Play it once through while I sing, ok, Eriol?" Tomoyo glanced up at Eriol, smiling. Eriol flushed, looking away as he nodded, "Hai."

He placed his fingers up on the keys as the new melody flowed through, Tomoyo's voice accompanying him.

Just Like This

That lovely wind that seeped through

That beautiful sound as the forest sways

Under the clear moonlight

We sit together on this exact same tree

Where we first laughed together and smiled

The dreams that were exchanged in the air

The teases that filled the entrancing night

Just like this

That was how I finally knew the true you

Talking under the rays of the moon

The smile that escaped our lips

Just like this

I made another true friend like you

Just one night on the tree with you

You promised me you'll be there for me

Just like this

I finally found myself falling for you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

^Tomoyo's POV^

I could feel myself flushing as I sat so close to Eriol-kun.

Soooooo close.

I could feel him breathing as he run his fingers across the keys, the warm breath tingling my neck as I sat beside him, singing along with his new piece. I stared up at him and wished secretly that I could know what he was feeling for me. Was he just treating me like a friend or something more?

But I'm only twelve this year. I'm far too young to fall in love. Then what do you call this? Puppy love? Just a stupid crush that will not last longer then a month?

I sighed silently in my mind as the song finally ended.

Eriol-kun looked at me, "How was it?" I smiled, "It's brilliant, Eriol! You really should be a famous composer yourself!" Eriol chuckled as he closed the oak cover of the piano, "You should be a famous singer yourself, Tomoyo-san." I giggled.

"I guessed we'll stop here for today." Eriol said as he packed up the papers on the table, "That leaves us two more songs." I nodded.

Eriol's maidservant suddenly burst into the room, "Hey! Are you ready for the rehearsal now?"

To tell you the truth, I myself is confused of how Nakuru-san is related to Eriol. If she is a maidservant, how come she attends university and she seems so close to Eriol?

I shrugged inwardly and smiled, "Sure. What about you, Eriol?" I looked up at Eriol who smiled, "Hai!"

~

"ONE! TWO! THREE!"

The music tapped in and I and Eriol began to waltz. It was just a beautiful little slow waltz that Nakuru-san taught us. Most of the rehearsing was complete except for the dance. I and Eriol-kun never seemed to get it right.

Left, up, right, right…

I laughed as I stepped on Eriol's foot again, "Gomen ne, Eriol-kun! I wasn't watching!" Eriol laughed, "Daijoubu desu. I myself is doing that too often with you, too."

Nakuru bit her lips, "Why don't you two just look up? Don't keep staring at your feet. Sometimes, too much concentration can ruin you."

Maybe Nakuru-san is right. Sometimes, too much concentration can ruin.

I placed my hands on Eriol's shoulder again and looked up, giggling, "This is stupid." I could hear a slight whine from Eriol, "I know. But too bad we got the main roles."

"Quit complaining, Eriol-sama!" Nakuru shouted from the far end of the room.

I giggled, "Come on, Eriol-kun! Where's your spirit?" Eriol laughed, "You're right. Where is my spirit?" He looked at Nakuru, "Start the music now!"

The music tapped in again and the dance went on.

This time, I didn't look on my feet. I just looked up.

And just somehow happened to have my eyes on Eriol's.

And Eriol stared back into mine.

Whenever sang my songs

On this stage, on my own

Whenever said my words

Wishing they could be heard

I never felt this kind of feeling before. My whole heart was fluttering heavily and butterflies were everywhere in my mind. I couldn't think, couldn't feel. All I knew was that Eriol was right before my eyes and I was dancing with him….

I saw you smiling at me

Was it real or just my fantasy?

You'd always be there in a corner

Of this tiny little bar

"CUT!!! CUT!!!!!" Nakuru exclaimed from behind. I quickly tore my gaze away from Eriol, a blush creeping over my cheeks.

Nakuru grinned, holding a thumbs-up, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!" I giggled and gazed at Eriol who smiled at me.

Did I happened to see him flushing, too?

Nah…I must be dreaming.

"Keep it this way and I'm pretty sure you'll do well for the rehearsal!" Nakuru complimented, grinning, "Wayta go!"

~

"Will I see you tomorrow at school, Tomoyo-san?"

I looked up at Eriol and smiled, "Of course you will, Eriol-kun." Eriol smiled, "What a silly question I'm asking, isn't it? I mean, of course the all-time popular Daidouji heiress will never play traunt."

There goes a swat!

"Eriol-kun!" I pouted, "You baka!" Eriol laughed as he pretended to jump around in pain, "That hurts, Tomoyo-san!" I giggled. I seriously couldn't help myself. Eriol could be so childishly cute sometimes.

Eriol then smiled down at me, "Tomoyo-san?"

I smiled, "Nani?"

"……….Nan demo nai."

He looked away as we walked towards my manor. I frowned. Something was not right…How come Eriol seems to be so…quiet all of a sudden?

"Eriol-kun?"

"Nani?"

I gazed at Eriol, "Something you want to tell me?" Eriol shook his head, "Iie! I'm just pondering over something." I smiled, "We've already reached my home."

Eriol looked up at my manor when he smiled down at me, placing his hands in his pockets, "See you tomorrow then, Tomoyo-san."

I smiled, "See you, Eriol-kun."

He nodded as I opened the gates, stepping in before the gates closed.

"Tomoyo-san!"

I turned around, "Nani?"

Eriol smiled, "Sleep tight." I giggled, "You, too, Eriol-kun. Don't let the bed bugs bite." I couldn't help but tease. Eriol laughed, "Likewise,Tomoyo-san." I beamed, nodding, "Good night, Eriol-kun."

Eriol brushed his dark azure hair from his eyes, smiling.

"Good night,Tomoyo-san."

THE END!

Of the chapter…duh! There's still a load more chapters to come! Stay tune!
