Deadly breakfast
Part 1 of 3
by Shirono
A CCS fanfic
When Syaoran and Sakura strategically ditch Tomoyo and Eriol at brunch, Eriol is stuck with an irritated Tomoyo. But the damage is done, and rumours start. When Eriol begins to igrore her like she asks, Tomoyo starts to feel like..she maybe...missed that attention....ExT (a little SxS)
For audience referance, Syaoran has just turned 16. ^_^ all the others are aged accordingly.
And this has NOTHING to do with my other stories!
~~~
Tomoyo sat down at her desk and began the morning ritual.
She pulled out her scissors and cut the tag off of every bushell
of flowers on her desk. All the tags read basically the same thing.
"To Tomoyo, from your Admirer; To Tomoyo from etc..."
She coldly smiled as she snipped them all off, the scissors punctuating
her sentances.
"Dont *snip* they *snip* realize *snip* that I *snip* only
like *snip* Sakura blossoms?"
Syaoran sat down in his seat.
"Don't you get tired of doing that every day, Tomoyo?"
"No, " she said , smiling. She put 5 bouquest of roses,
mums, and misc. flowers on Sakura's desk.
There was a unanimous sigh of dissapointment from boys around
the classroom.
Syaoran sighed. "She's running out of room in her house for
all these flowers that mysteriously appear on her desk every morning,
you know....
"Whatever, " said Tomoyo, tossing her hair back, "she
looks so happy every time she sees them, anyway."
Just then, Sakura walked into the room. More like ran...she
was considerably late again.
"Ohayo Syaoran-kun, " she sighed, kissing him on the
forhead before sitting down, "Ohayo Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-kun."
Tomoyo almost jumped if she didn't know better. Sure enough, there
he was, sitting behind her, smiling.
"Ohayo, Tomoyo, " he grinned, handing her a single cherry
blossom.
She grinned back, evilly.
"What did I tell you, Eriol-kun, about flirting with me?"
He put on an innocent face.
"That if I did it again, I'd be telling stories through my
full-body cast?"
She nodded. "So glad we have an understanding."
He leaned farther forward as she turned again.
"But I wasn't flirting, Tomoyo san. I DO no better than that."
"Good, " she said, "keep it that way."
"You SAID you only wanted Sakura blossoms."
She stiffened and her eye twitched.
He pulled a lock of her hair back and gently placed the blossom
behind her ear.
She wanted to scream.
Not because she didn't like the feeling of his hands in her
hair,
but because she did.
"Get your hands off of me Hiiragizawa, " she said,
trembling with anger.
He laughed and fell back into his chair.
"Tomoyo-chan is so easy to irritate, " he smirked
Sakura sweatdropped.
"Syaoran kun...we simply HAVE to get them to be friends,
" she whispered.
"But they...are..." he he whispered back,"just
a wierd kind of friends."
The watched nervously as Tomoyo and Eriol argued about whether
Tomoyo should keep the flower.
"But its my token of apology!"
"But in giving me your apology, you're flirting!"
"No, Im not!"
Sakura leaned over to Syaoran again.
"Why dont we ask them to brunch with us tomarrow at the Piccolo?"
Syaoran shrugged, "I guess its an idea."
Sakura smiled.
"It isn't an IDEA...its a plot."
"Eriol, Im not keeping the flower!"
"If you throw it away, Im gonna bring you a new one tomarrow!"
Unanimous sighs.

Eriol was grinning and masterfully weaving a plot of words
when Tomoyo arrived at the Piccolo retaurant.
We was leaning back and smiling at the immersed and other wise
dumbfounded Sakura and Syaoran.
"Really?" Sakura asked, in awe.
"Of couse, " said Eriol, "In England, you always
take your shoes off before you enter a shopping mall."
"But, why?" asked Syaoran.
"Cause if you enter a shoestore, they can be sure that you
didn't steal a pair of shoes."
Tomoyo sat down next to Eriol. Actually, the seat adjacent to
Eriol, which was positioned as far away from Eriol as possible
and as close to Sakura.
"Eriol, pardon my interrupting your story, but I'm pretty
sure that you need not to remove your shoes when enetering a mall
ANYWHERE."
Sakura's eyes lit up. "OH! Eriol is telling another story!"
Syaoran sighed.
Eriol waved at a waitress going by.
"Hello there, " she said, "can I get you something?"
"Yes, he said, how about some drinks? I'll have some green
tea."
"I'll have soda, " Sakura said, appropriately bubbly.
"Chocolate milk, " Said Syaoran.
Tomoyo put down her menu. "Just water."
Eriol raised an eyebrow. "Jees, Daidouji, felling adventurous,
or what?"
She glared.
The waitress nodded. "I'll have them in a moment."
Sakura grinned. It was time to put the plan into action.
"Oh, dear.." she said, looking to either side of her
chair worriedly.
"What is it?" asked Tomoyo.
"Oh, I left my purse in Syaoran's car. Syaoran-kun, could
you go get it for me please?"
She nodded, smiling more than he should have been.
"Sure, darling." he left for his car.
Sakura grinned at Tomoyo. Tomoyo was now the one to raise her
eyebrow in suspicion.
Thier drinks arrived, and the waitress took the orders.
"A nice fruit salad for me, " said Eriol.
"I wanna bagel, " said Sakura, "With cream cheese."
Tomoyo giggled at Sakura's cute display. She regretted not bringing
her video camera.
"I'll have...some fruit salad too."
Eriol chuckled.
"What?" she replied defensively, "It sounds good."
After a few minutes, Sakura said.
"Oh, dear, Syaoran is still absent. I'll be right back."
She giggled and ran off out the door.
Eriol looked at Tomoyo. Tomoyo looked at Eriol.
"They aren't coming back," they said in sync.
Tomoyo began to get up,
"Well, I'm certainly not staying alone with you..."
she said.
Eriol put on his best pouty face. "But why, Tomoyo-chan?
We already ordered food, you might as well stay to eat it, right?"
She sighed again. "Alright, I might as well, but..."
"but...?"
"If anyone asks, this is certainly NOT a date."
Eriol chuckled. "Of couse, Tomoyo, of course."
She kept a watchful eye on Eriol the whole time, while eating
her salad.
Eriol tried incredibly hard to keep from laughing insanely.
She is SO cute when she's angry, he thought.
She had noticed several classmates watching and whispering from
other tables.
When they were done, the waitress gave them a check and began
to clear the dishes.
"Wait, " said Tomoyo, "could you put that chocolate
milk in a cup to take home with us?"
"Sure." she replied.
"Thank you, " she added, grinning.
Eriol leaned back. "O ho, Tomoyo. Have you a plot of your
own?"
"Yes, yes I do, " she said.
In part 2:
Tomoyo gets revenge on Syaoran for the "set up". And
when people in school ask is Tomoyo was on a date with Eriol,
she asks Eriol not to speak to her again. But Maybe...she misses
Eriol's attention? She starts to feel a little differently about
him when he finally leavs her alone.
