Chapter 2: Match making or not??

Tomoyo sigh as she thought about Sakura's wedding, 'She's getting married and be happy with the man she love but me I'm going to be stuck with someone I don't even know.' The door of the carriage opened and as Tomoyo got off the carriage her best friend suddenly enveloped her in to a tight hug

"Tomoyo your finally here!" Sakura said, Tomoyo smiled and returned the hug

"Tomoyo nice to see you" a smiling Li said from behind Sakura

Sakura released her friend and went beside Li, seeing this scene Tomoyo grinned and said

"So, what did the two of you do, ALONE, with each other?" the two blushed and looked down, Tomoyo laugh at their reaction

"We didn't do anything!" Li answered defensively

Tomoyo laugh even harder "Ok, ok, I believe you didn't do anything" with that Li smiled again

"Sakura why don't you accompany your best friend in her room she must be tired from her long travel" Li said, "Why don't you go with us?" Tomoyo said

"Sorry but I can't, I still have to do something" he said smiling mischievously, Tomoyo frowned at this but ignored it "Well ok then" she said going in of the house

************************

Somewhere out there...

'Why do I really need to marry this princes, why cannot it be like Li and Sakura' at the thought of the couple he smiled 'Li and Sakura, wonder what they're doing' Eriol grinned at the thought.

2 Hours later...

"Hey Eriol! Glad your already here" Li said patting his best friend's back, Eriol smiled and said

"Excited to see your handsome, charming and intelligent best friend" Li strangled him

"I'm more to you than what you said about yourself," Li said "No your not" Eriol said switching places with Li.

The two strangled each other for a while laughing at each other until they fell on the ground. Eriol helped Li up and cleaned himself "So, how was your trip?" Li said as he cleaned himself and guide Eriol inside the house placing his arm on his shoulders brotherly like

"Boring but fine, no complications encountered" Eriol answered as they pass through the corridor, Eriol suddenly smiled and said "Now let me ask you, how was your day here, all ALONE with Sakura?" Li glared at him and said

"Nothing happened!" Eriol laugh at his reaction "I didn't said that something happened..." he said when he suddenly stops as they pass through a glass sliding door leading outside the garden.

Eriol noticed that Li was walking away from him so he decided to catch up with him, once beside Li "Who was that with Sakura a while ago?" he asked him as they reach his room, Li grinned and said

"Oh, that one, she's Sakura's best friend, Tomoyo"

"Oh, really" Eriol said as he look around the room, checking the closet and everything

"Come on settle down and the I'll let you meet her" Li smiled at his best friend as he wait for him to get acquainted to his room

"Ok, let's go I want to meet this lady" Eriol said excitement evident in his voice

"I think some ones excited to meet Tomoyo" Li said in a singsong pattern as they went out of the room.

Eriol glared at him "No, I'm not, I just want to talk to someone besides from you and Sakura which I doubt I would able to do since the two of you would be all over each other" he said with a mischievous smile.

"Don't change the topic Eriol!" Li answered back, Eriol just smiled back at him.

*******************

Sakura and Tomoyo were sitting at the balcony having tea by the garden happily chatting with each other.

"So, Tomoyo tell me what did you do with our brothers while your with them" Sakura said smiling mischievously at the thought of his brother, Tomoyo giggled and started the story to what happened to Touya and Yukito.

As the two approaches the door leading to the garden they could hear giggles from outside and the gentle voice of Tomoyo 'Is that her, her voice is so calm and gentle' Eriol thought to himself.

Eriol felt a tap on his shoulder "Hey, Eriol you alright?" he heard Li said

Eriol blink returning back to the real world and answered "Huh, well yes I am" Li frowned at his answer "Why then you suddenly stop?"

Eriol smiled "Just a little tired of the long journey" he said, Li just stared at him and decided to ignore it.

Li opened the door revealing Tomoyo giggling at something she said about their brothers with Sakura giggling with her, Sakura looked up and smiled "Hey Li" she said as she stood up, went to his fiancée and kiss his cheeks. Li smiled at Sakura and then face a grinning Eriol and a smiling Tomoyo.

"Nice to see you Eriol" Sakura said as she face Eriol, Eriol smiled back and said "Nice to see you too Sakura." Eriol then turned to Tomoyo "And who might be this beautiful lady" he said Tomoyo blushed at his compliment.

Li and Sakura grinned at Eriol and then introduce him to Tomoyo "Tomoyo I would like you to meet Eriol Hiirigizawa, my best friend" Li said placing his arm on his best friends in the shoulder.

Tomoyo smiled, 'What a beautiful smile' Eriol thought as he stared at Tomoyos face 'but there's something in her eyes....' Eriols train of thoughts stopped when Li spoke up again, "Eriol this is Tomoyo Daidouji, Sakura's best friend" he said pointing to Tomoyo.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Hiirigizawa" Tomoyo said as she brought up her right hand to shake hands with him. Instead of shaking her hand Eriol kiss her hands lightly 'So soft' he thought and then look up a smile on his face "Nice meeting a lovely lady like you Tomoyo" at this compliment Tomoyo's face turned a bit red.

"And please call me Eriol besides we'll be staying under one roof for I think until Li and Sakura gets married" Eriol added before she could respond to his compliment.

Tomoyo smiled and said, "Ok then, Eriol"

The couple behind them grinned more and then Sakura started *cough* *cough* "You can let go of her now Eriol" she said looking at their hands holding each other. Eriol look down at their hands and then blushed same with Tomoyo, they pulled their hands releasing each other. Li smiled mischievously at their reaction and then said,

"Ok then now that you know each other we could already leave the both of you"

At his words Eriol glared at him 'I know what you're up to' his thoughts seen in his expression, Li just smirked "We know both of you are tired of the long journey, so we've decided to let you relax and enjoy this day" Li added.

Tomoyo then looked at her best friend with pleading eyes as if begging not to be left alone with someone she only met but Sakura just smiled at her best friend "Don't worry will be back when dinner's ready."

Sakura went over to her best friend and push her back to take a sit "Relax, don't worry besides we still have to finish checking if all the things needed for the gathering is in proper order" Sakura said, "I'll help" Tomoyo hurriedly said

Sakura winked at her and then said, "no, no, stay here and rest" at this the two walk back inside.

Having no choice Eriol sat down across Tomoyo by the small table, he smiled at Tomoyo and then started a conversation " So, you're Sakura's best friend" Tomoyo nodded and smiled back at him staring at his dark blue eyes.

Meanwhile...

"What's taking them, they only stare at each other" Li said hiding by the wall near the glass the door spying on Tomoyo and Eriol.

Sakura nudge him on his side "Don't rush it, besides its there first time meeting each other"

"Yeah you're right and besides we still have lots of time to get them together" Li said turning to Sakura embracing her.

He bent down to Sakura's ear "Now lets leave them alone together and be with each other" he whispered

Sakura slap him lightly in his shoulder braking away from his embrace giggling then running away from him "Yeah we could do that but first catch me if you can" she said as she started their game of tag.

Back at the balcony...

The two stayed quiet for a long time staring at the beautiful flowers and plants in the garden, they could hear the water rustling from the fountain at the middle of the big garden.

Couldn't take the silence Eriol started "So, um... may I ask how long have you been friends with Sakura"

Tomoyo turned to face him with a beautiful smile on her face "Since we were little" she said leaning at the table to getting closer to Eriol "How bout you and Li?" she asked. Eriol smirked "Same as you, all I know is I know him since the day I learn to think by my self where it came to the point seeing him everyday makes me want to not see him " Eriol laugh at his small joke closing his eyes remembering the old days.

Tomoyo laugh at what Eriol just said and was ready to answer back when he started again

"But its really nice having a friend like Syaoran, always there supporting you" Eriol sigh but continue "come to think of it his the only true friend I got" Eriol said looking down sadness in his eyes.

Eriol suddenly felt at hand at his arm by the table squeezing him reassuringly upon feeling this he looked up and saw Tomoyo with a sad smile in her face

"Don't worry Eriol I'd be your friend," she said comfortingly, Eriol smiled back at her.

Tomoyo then started "I know what you feel, it's like me and Sakura we had a same relationship that's why her marriage with Li is going to be hard with me" Tomoyo said.

"I'm going to really miss her," she added sighing, its Eriol turn to comfort her he place his free hand on top of hers which was still on his other arm and then squeeze

" I'll be with you, don't be sad, like what you said were friends right?" Eriol said, Tomoyo smiled at him glad to have a new friend then said

"Yeah were friends, and I'm glad its you," Eriol smiled at what she said finally having someone he could trust.

*************************

Meanwhile somewhere out there, again...

"Your highness, the army is ready and all the weapons to be use for the attack" a guard said bowing in front of his master

"Ok then, tell all my generals to get ready and that we'll start crossing the mountains of Normandy immediately" a woman said anger in her voice

"Yes, your highness" the guard said standing up quickly and bowing before going.

"Soon Eriol you'll be mine and your pathetic country" the woman said laughing mischievously "Mine, all mine, hahaha"

*************************

After dinner...

Sakura and Syaoran giving lame excuses about doing something again left behind Tomoyo and Eriol.

Tomoyo decided to go outside to take a breath of fresh air when suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulders, startled she turned around quickly facing Eriol

"Don't scare me like that," Tomoyo said placing a hand at her chest

"I'm sorry to scare you," Eriol said sadly, Tomoyo just smiled gently at his reaction

"No, its alright" she said smiling at him, Eriol on the other hand smiled back at her his beautiful and most lovely smile

"I was just wondering if you would like to take a walk with me in the garden, the nights lovely with lots of star in the sky" he said offering his hand to Tomoyo, Tomoyo smiled at him and then took his hand

"That would be nice" Tomoyo said, the couple started their walk along the garden discussing things about their selves, knowing each other.

Meanwhile...

"So how are they doing?" Sakura asked Syaoran who was looking at the telescope by the second floor balcony spying on Eriol and Tomoyo

"They're doing fine, I think they like each other" Syaoran said as he hands the telescope to Sakura.

"Yeah, I think your right, I never seen Tomoyo so comfortable with any man besides you" she said as she look through the telescope

"It means our little plan is working," she added, Syaoran grinned then hug Sakura whispering in her ear "I think you're right, I think you're right..."
