Chapter 2
The Seas

Nakuru Akizuki peered into her Master's bedroom and giggled silently to herself as she spotted Eriol on the bed, dozing into a soundful sleep, glasses dangling down his fingers as his dark tresses swayed lightly under the air-conditioned room. Nakuru smiled as she entered the room and picked up his glasses, putting it on the desk when she paused.

There, on that desk, laid a sketch…

It was incomplete, though. Nakuru squinted her eyes. Whoever was that…? It only showed a cherry tree with someone's back laying upon the trunk. It looked like…Nakuru's eyes lit up. It looked just like-

"Hello Ruby Moon."

Nakuru jumped as she turned around, grinning sheepishly, "Hello Eriol-sama." Eriol sat up, hair flopping messily around his eyes, "What are you doing in my room?" Nakuru giggled nervously, "Nothing at all, Eriol! Promise!" Eriol looked behind Nakuru and shrugged, "I see that you've seen my sketch." Nakuru forced a giggle but all she got was a nervous chuckle, "Well, yeah. Eriol-sama always knows best."

Eriol stood up, approaching his desk as he held up the sketch, facing Nakuru, "Do you think it's beautiful?" Nakuru cocked an eyebrow, "Yes, Eriol. But please tell me who is this lady, onegai?" Nakuru pleaded but Eriol just chuckled, "Maybe sometime. Now if you don't mind, please exit my room, Ruby Moon." Nakuru smiled and waved sheepishly, "Then I'll exit. Ja ne!" Eriol nodded as the door closed behind Nakuru as Eriol faced the sketch and sat down.

Picking up a pencil, he continued drawing…


"Eriol-sama drew a sketch of a lady?" Spinel echoed Nakuru's words as she nodded, "Definitely. Strangely, I thought that lady somehow resembled…Sakura's best friend…Now what was her name?" "Tomoyo Daidouji." Spinel finished. Nakuru nodded, her brown hair flopping madly, "Definitely!"

Spinel cocked an eyebrow, "That Daidouji heiress? Can't be…Eriol-sama rarely talked to her." Nakuru shrugged, "Well, you never know."

Tomoyo smiled to herself as she flipped the page of the novel in her hands, her stomach laying on the bed of her room. Yet, her mind wasn't concentrated on the book in front of her. She was thinking of a certain dark-haired boy, Eriol Hiiragizawa.

She was happily surprised at how fast they had become good friends overnight. She had knew Eriol all along yet she never knew him that well. She had always thought that Eriol was just a sorcerer who doesn't show much emotions. Well, last night, he had proved her instincts, for once, wrong.

Eriol Hiiragizawa…

Tomoyo sighed.

How could she describe this man?

Cool, nice, friendly, warm…

Tomoyo giggled.

Not to mention, suave, too!

Tomoyo put down her novel and leant on her back, staring out to the ceiling.

Could I be…in love?

Tomoyo shook her head as she pulled out the hairpin, letting her dark locks of hair tumble down her shoulders.

Can't be. I only knew him for one night.

Tomoyo smiled softly.

But I can't help thinking he's really sweet…

"Tomoyo!"

Tomoyo turned around and giggled as Eriol ran up to her, waving, "Ohayou gozaimasu! I can't believe you beat me again!" Eriol heaved. Tomoyo laughed, "You're already late for one minute. Buck up, Eriol-kun. Continue this again and I'll beat you five days straight in a row!" Tomoyo teased as Eriol chuckled, settling down in his usual seat behind Tomoyo in the classroom.

"Ohayou gozaimasu, minna-san!" Tereda-sensei exclaimed as he slid closed the door, settling down at his usual desk and smiled at his two students, "Seems like the two earlybirds are always on time." Tomoyo beamed as Eriol gave a polite chuckle. Tereda-sensei smiled. He always thought his two cleverest students always had a chance together. To tell the truth, he always thought student Hiiragizawa and Daidouji always looked good.

Tomoyo then turned to Eriol who was sketching something. Tomoyo leant forward, "What are you drawing, Eriol-kun?" Eriol looked up from his sketch and smiled, "Make a guess." Eriol showed Tomoyo the sketch as she held a smile that brightened up, "Isn't it me?" Eriol laughed, "Definitely, Tomoyo-san. It's you, alright. How do you find it?" Tomoyo beamed, "Very nice. It's almost perfect." Eriol cocked an eyebrow, "Almost?" Tomoyo giggled, "You need to color it, don't you?"

Eriol held the drawing and smiled down at it, "It does need some coloring, Tomoyo-san." Eriol then smiled at the lass in front of him, "Won't it look perfect?" Tomoyo smiled, nodding, "It'll be definitely perfect, Eriol-kun."

"So it's Tomoyo!" Nakuru squealed as she glanced at the sketch on her Master's desk, a beautiful bright sketch laid down. Spinel tried a frown but he couldn't help grinning, "Can't believe it, ne?" Nakuru giggled madly, "So Eriol-sama did find a crush at last!" Spinel smiled as his paws gently brushed the sketch, "Yep. And he did a find job finding the right girl. I like Tomoyo. She's nice."

Nakuru squealed again as she nodded, "I like her, too! She makes a good Mrs. Hiiragizawa!"

"I heard that, Ruby Moon."

Nakuru sweatdropped as she and Spinel spunned around, facing their Master standing at the door frame, folding his arms, his dark eyes scanning them. Nakuru nervously smiled, "Hello Eriol-sama. I didn't know you are back." Eriol rolled his eyes, "Now you know that, Ruby Moon."

"Oh heh heh." Nakuru scratched her head sheepishly, "Caught again." Spinel tried a smile, "Gomen ne." Eriol put down his hands and approached them, "Well, the reason I'm sketching Tomoyo-san is not because I like her. That's the reason that's definitely out of the question, Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun." Eriol said as Nakuru nodded.

"Sorry, Eriol." Nakuru and Spinel apologized in unison. Eriol smiled, "Just kidding with you guys! Don't take it so seriously!" Nakuru and Spinel immediately smiled, "You're the best Eriol!" Eriol nodded as he took the sketch in his hands, staring down.

Nakuru giggled silently as she whispered in Spinel's ear, "Do you think Master is falling for her?" Spinel nodded and muttered back, "I have a hunch, yes."

"I heard that, too." Eriol muttered as he unconsciously brushed the dirt away from the sketch.

Nakuru and Spinel sweatdropped.

The wind blew as the waves of the seas poured against the sandy shore, the sun settling down the strong wash of orange around the world. The first star finally shone through the clouds and settled peacefully among the skies.

The dark locks of hair flew gently with the wind as amethyst eyes glanced down at the seas, fingers twirling with the tresses. Tomoyo Daidouji leant back and sighed, eyeing the stars when a warm voice unknowingly stirred her heart.

"Tomoyo-san?"

Tomoyo turned around and instantly lit up as Eriol beamed, settling down beside her, "Konban wa,Tomoyo-san. What are you doing here?" Tomoyo giggled. She didn't know why. She always felt comfortable around Eriol. "Okaasan allowed me out for a walk. She says I'm always so restless at home." Eriol laughed, "True." Tomoyo pouted mockingly, "Hey! Is that an insult?" Eriol chuckled, "Depends on how you see it."

Tomoyo laughed silently as she plopped down against the sand. Eriol glanced down at her, "You're going to be dirty." Tomoyo giggled, "I don't care. The most I do is to get home and take a shower." Eriol laughed as he did likewise, "You're right, Tomoyo-san."

The stars shone brighter than ever as the sun finally dimmed its rays away, letting the horizon turned a dark blue, the moon finally up and high upon the skies.

"Tomoyo?"

"Mmmm?"

"What happens if you fall into the sea?" Eriol asked as Tomoyo sat up, "Come again?" Eriol laughed as his fingers brushed her hair, bits of sand falling down, "I asked what will happen if you fall into the sea." Tomoyo shrugged, "The most that will happen to me is that I get wet." Eriol grinned, "And what happens if you do?"

Tomoyo frowned, "You're not telling me…" Tomoyo then widened her eyes, "No way!" Eriol stood up, "And why not?" Tomoyo stood up, shaking her head frantically, "I'll get wet!" Eriol laughed, "Like you said, the most that can happen is to get wet! And the most you can do is to get a shower!"

"No!!!"

Too late.

SPLASH!!!

Tomoyo resurfaced up from the water, "ERIOL!!!" Eriol laughed as Tomoyo pouted, "It is not funny! You've gotta pay!" Eriol snickered, "Oh yeah? Like what?"

SPLASH!!!

Tomoyo broke into gales of laughter, "That was payback time, Eriol-kun!" Eriol resurfaced, whole body soaked, "You're getting into hot soup, Tomoyo!" Eriol dived for Tomoyo and pushed her down again. Unfortunately, Tomoyo had spotted the familiar smirk and grin and managed to pull Eriol down into the water furthur.

Both of them emerged, laughing. Tomoyo giggled as she stuck out her tongue, "Revenge, Eriol-kun!" Eriol laughed, "That was a nice revenge." Tomoyo beamed, "Couldn't be better. So tell me, Eriol-kun, what do I do now if Okaasan asked me why I am soaked to the skin?" Eriol snickered, "Just say you met these Greek people who had no idea how to row a boat. You, being the helpful lot, tried to help them and in the end, ended up in the sea."

Eriol received a playful swat as a reward. "Baka!" Tomoyo pouted as Eriol chuckled, "Definitely, I'm a baka." Tomoyo giggled as the both of them swam back to shore. Eriol snickered as he tumbled down onto the sand, "Tomoyo?"

"Nani?"



"Nothing."



Tomoyo giggled, "Eriol?"

"Mmm?"

"Shut up."



~If I cry out to the seas
Will it answer my prayer?
I want to be able to fly
Riding on the wings of dreams…~
