Chapter 5: Deception

Author's Note: They have different classes for every subject just to clear up some confusion. Oh and I dedicate this chapter to Kat and Fireblaze. Thanks for the review and continued support!!!



"Ferdinand Magellan, the first person to prove that the world is...................." Tomoyo wasn't paying much attention to the report; she was more interested in the reporter. Ever since the 'incident', she couldn't help but think of anything else. She could remember that day very well.....

*

The whole gang decided to have a picnic and they were playing tag after a good meal. 'To burn the fat' Chiharu said.

Eriol was it and unfortunately the nearest person to him was Tomoyo.

She ran of course as not to get tagged, that was the whole point of the game after all. They were running around a big cherry blossom tree with its petals falling and everything.

Tomoyo would have thought the scene nice if she wasn't panting and running like crazy. When she was looking back, she hit a person who was Eriol.

He caught her before she hit the ground their faces just inches apart. He gently touched her cheek with his free hand and just when she thought he would kiss her, 'Tag, you're it.' he heard him say just above a whisper.



Ever since that day, Eriol Hiiragizawa invaded her senses twenty four seven. She longed to feel that feather light touch once more. She wanted to be in his arms to inhale his scent and most of all; she wanted to feel his lips pressed softly against her own. She started noticing how his midnight blue hair fell cutely over his eyes and thin framed glasses and how his dark blue eyes showed everything yet revealed nothing. How he moved with precision and masculine grace. She knew that it was wrong of her to feel this way. She knew she'll get hurt once more but right now she didn't care, she couldn't help it nor could she stop it. He was irresistible.

'What spell has he put on me? A couple of months ago I hated him and the rest of his kind and now I'm mooning over him like... like I'm.....hopelessly... no I can't, I won't....'

"And that concludes my report on Ferdinand Magellan." Eriol's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Okay class, every body had finished his or her reports, next week is your final exams so seniors, this is goodbye, I would miss you all terribly."

The final bell rang signaling the end of the day. People lost their usual hustle and bustle for it was the last day that would have their subjects.

Their final exam was coming up and then, graduation.

Eriol was aware of how Tomoyo was looking at him during his entire report. Once he took his seat behind her he smiled. Everything was going according to plan and today, he was going to pull the big question. He smiled, 'Soon Kaho, I'll have a chance to be with you.'

Once the bell had rung, he walked over to Tomoyo's desk and said, "Shall we Tomoyo-san?" and held his hand towards her.

She blushed and put her hand in his, got her things and let him lead the way.



"How about a stop at the park?" Eriol smiled at her.

She looked down hoping to hide her flushed face in her curtain of curly tresses and pretended to look at her watch. "Sure." she said with a soft smile.

They dropped by her house to inform her companions that she was going out and when they reached the park, the sun had already set. The moon glowed in the night sky, a perfect contrast to its dark background. The stars twinkled at their best yet couldn't compete with the light of the moon.

She saw the swing set and eagerly ran to it like a child. "Push me Eriol- kun." She pleaded with her big amethyst eyes.

He felt that he was obliged to do so. "Tomoyo, could you do me a favor?" he said while pushing her.

"What favor?" She replied.

"Could you be my girl?" He continued.

"Come again? Sorry I didn't quite hear you with the wind and everything." she shouted as if to emphasize her point.

He held the bars of the swing to a halt, wrapped both his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Could you be my girl Tomoyo-san?"

She couldn't speak, her mind was in a whirl from the different sensations his arms around her and his breath in her ears was giving her and the different questions that were popping in her head. She knew perfectly well that if she agreed she would once again risk her heart for another heartache. Yet the benefits were too great to ignore. She looked at him in the eye and found herself once again in the position where his lips were near hers. "I....."

*

This time Eriol didn't pull away. The temptation of her lips was too great to ignore twice.

He brushed his lips against hers and said, "Your first kiss" she nodded and he dove down for another, this time digging deeper discovering the secrets her lips held.

They broke away from each other and he settled himself nestled in the crook of her neck, hidden in her hair that faintly smelled of jasmine. His senses were still spinning with what just happened when the voice of the girl in his arms interrupted his thoughts, "Eriol-kun, it's getting late, we should go before they send out the bodyguards looking for me."

It took him all his strength to pull away from the warmth of her body and walk her home.

*

He took his things which he left inside her mansion and both of them headed towards the gate.

Before he could step out, she tiptoed and gave him a quick peck on the cheek and said, "Thank you Eriol-kun, you don't know how happy you have made me." and ran off.

*

Eriol touched the place on his cheek where Tomoyo kissed him for the nth time. His fingers then traveled towards his lips.

He was supposed to be sleeping now but the sandman doesn't seem to visit him. Luckily tomorrow was a weekend. A certain amethyst-eyed girl filled his mind. He couldn't forget her even for a second.

Author's note:

The ending is left hanging don't you think? I found it inappropriate to add more, I don't know why. The fic's pace is becoming a little faster as well don't you think? It's okay though so guys, R&R okay?
