The sky was mixture of bright shades of oranges, reds and yellows which could only mean that the sun was already setting. Tomoyo slowly woke up and she heard a car
door close. She was too sleepy to open her eyes. It had been such a long time since she had such a peaceful sleep. She heard through the car the sounds of waves and
seagulls squawk but she still couldn't bring herself to open her eyes. Tomoyo didn't know where she was or didn't care to know, after all it had been so long since she felt
so peaceful. Being in the music business could get the most calm people highstrung and Tomoyo was the calmest of the calmest. A blast of cold air ran though her face and
hair. That could only mean that the door had opened. The beautiful maiden still kept her eyes closed.

"Wake-up, princess," someone said softly.

"Eriol-kun... Do I have to? I feel so relaxed," Tomoyo asked.

"Well, don't you want to know where you are?" Eriol said.

"No. I just want to sleep but I guess I have no choice do I?" Tomoyo asked sleepily.

"Nope. No choice whatsoever," he replied.

"Okay."

Tomoyo finally revealed her crystal-like, lavender eyes and found that she was staring right into the face of a pair of azure eyes. She blinked trying to get used to the light.
She yawned like a cat and stretched gracefully. She looked through the window to find that they were on a beach. An empty beach.

"Hey... Where are we?" Tomoyo asked suddenly alarmed.

"I thought you didn't want to know," Eriol said sarcastically.

"Come on now, just tell me!" She said poutly.

"Okay okay okay.... Your at my beach house," Eriol said, "My private beach house."

"You have a private beach house here? In Japan? You don't even live here!"

"I'm rich... I can do whatever I want!" Eriol said with mocking snobish voice.

"No, seriously!"

Eriol shrugged, "Well.. Once I took a vacation and decided to take it in Japan. There were no houses for rent at the time, well.. no houses in a private place for rent so I
bought this one."

"Oh I see, but if you were in Japan why didn't you come see me then or the others?"

"I just needed to be alone, you know what I mean?"

"Yeah," Her voice saddened, "I know exactly what you mean."

There was a moment or two of silence. All that could be heard was breathing and waves lapping.

"Well, I guess I'll show you around!" Eriol said suddenly suprising Tomoyo.

Eriol took Tomoyo's hand and politely led her out of the car. Eriol closed the door quietly and locked it. The breeze was cold and it stung Tomoyo's skin. Tomoyo embraced
herself. Eriol saw this and took off his coat and handed it to her. The raven-haired maiden accepted and wrapped it around her. It was too big for her and made her look funny
and made Eriol smile.

"Thanks," She said quietly.

"It's the least I could do," Eriol replied.

Tomoyo was puzzled by his remark but decided to keep her thoughts to herself. Eriol started to go and he motioned for her to follow him and she did. Tomoyo glanced at the
ocean view. The water blended so well with the colors of the sky. Tomoyo never had time to look at those type of things... watching the sun slowly set made her breathless.

"Tomoyo-san?" Eriol asked.

"Hai?" she said still unmoved.

Eriol chuckled quietly to himself. It was like it was the first time she saw a sunset. Tomoyo heard his giggle and finally awoke from her dreaming.

"Gomen, I must look like a baka just staring off into space like that," Tomoyo said.

"It's okay. I stare off into space like that too... looking like a baka," Eriol said.

Eriol led Tomoyo into the large beach house. From inside the house looked elegant. Too elegant for a beach house but then again it was Eriol's house so it didn't come to
much a suprise to Tomoyo.

"This house is just like you Eriol," Tomoyo commented.

"How so?" Eriol asked.

"I don't know, it's just like you. I can't explain it" Tomoyo said.

Eriol nodded.

"By the way," Tomoyo said, "How long are we going to be here? In the morning I have a concert rehersal I have to do."

"Oh.. I wouldn't worry about that," Eriol said.

Tomoyo tilted her head curiously, "Why?"

"Because you're my guest for the 4 days," Eriol said calmly.

"Do you mean," Tomoyo said nervously, "You've just kidnapped me?!?"

"No, kidnapping involves taking a person against their own will. You chose to come with me."

Tomoyo was about to scream and yell for her freedom but then they both heard a crash and a blood-curdling scream of a woman's voice from the second floor of Eriol's beach
house. Tomoyo suddenly held on to Eriol.

"W-what.. w-as.. that?!" Tomoyo said as quietly as she could.
