Picture 10
"Ohayou, Daidouji-san!" greeted Eriol brightly upon seeing her emerge from the gates of the Daidouji mansion.
She cocked an eybrow at him before she opened her umbrella and started to walk, deliberately ignoring him.
He wasn't even affected by her Antartica-cold hostility.. as usual. He merely caught up with her brisk pace with his long strides. "I can't wait for today's rehearsals!" he gushed.
"Look, Hiiragizawa, quit acting as if you're going gaga over this. You're too obvious!" she snapped.
"But I'm not! Really!" He flashed his killer boyish grin at her.
The smile that could take the breath of a thousand women away.
Unfortunately, she wasn't excempted. She felt her knees suddenly buckle. God, his clear blue eyes has so much hypnotic power in them.
Eriol suddenly sensed the change of Tomoyo's aura. "Hey?"
"Y-Yeah?" she stammered, jumping quickly away from him. Damn it, Hiiragizawa just caught her gaping openly at him like an idiot!
He chuckled. "My, my! Is there something in my eyes that caught your attention only now, Dear Sunshine?"
She regained her composure just in time. "As a matter of fact, yes. There's a different twinkle in your eyes today..hey wait, that's only a speck of residue from Mr.Sandman's gift last night."
He rubbed his eyes self-conciously. "Very..perceptive."
Tomoyo continued to walk, and Eriol resumed to follow her. "Daidouji-san, who will be the judges of the pageant?"
"Well, I will chair the panel composing of Chiharu, Naoko, Rika and Sakura-chan," she replied, glancing briefly at him. "The pageant will be held at the school auditorium at 7 pm."
"Who will host the affair?" he asked, silently relieved that they were conversing casually again.
"I'm thinking of asking Nakuru.."
He choked with laughter. "You've got to be kidding!"
"..or maybe Mizuki-sensei.." she drawled.
He gasped. "Don't you dare!"
"Sure, Hiiragizawa-kun! I will spare you from that if it would mean that one of my debts to you is already paid."
"Oh...ok," he replied grudgingly. Shoot! There goes his plan to ask her out on a date after the rehearsal. Damn it! Kaho Mizuki was starting to get deterimental to his social life!
He held his hand up. "But wait, you still have one debt left."
"And how do you want me to repay it, hmm?" she asked testily. "What should I do to call everything 'quits'?"
"This." In one swift movement, he was able to pull her towards him and kiss him.
Her eyes widened as she felt his lips caress hers. Her defenses were crumbling,a nd she couldn't find even an ounce of strength to push him away in protest!
She then felt his hand move down her slender neck. In a second, her Clow necklace was unsnapped.
His mouth left hers. His eyes were twinkling peculiarly as he held up the Clow key that belonged to him.
She stepped weakly away from him, still trembling from his electrifying kiss. God, he just kissed her!
After a while of silence, she had no choice but to break the silence. "Hiiragizawa, if you only want your staff back, all you would have to do is ask me and I would give it!" she hissed.
Still saying nothing, he merely gazed at her.
"That was my first kiss," she told him, biting back her tears.
At last, he spoke. "I know."
"That kiss should have been special. All my life I had been saving this moment to share with my lifetime partner..but you..you.." A tear escaped her eye. "Why you?"
A flicker of pain crossed his face. "Why 'why you'?" he asked back.
"It must have meant nothing to you, but for me.." She hurried away, ashamed to show him her tears.
He was left, staring where she was standing awhile ago.
"You're wrong, Daidouji-san. It meant everything to me..now if only I could let you know that," he siad softly before he continued on his way to the rehearsal.

**Guys, the original Chapter 10 should have been longer, but because the Internet Cafe owner where I surf is going on a family get-away to the mall, they're closing the shop early..bad news for me. Well, just expect a longer Chapter 11. Ja!**
