Chapter 9: Oh wise Syaoran
A black limousine pulled in Hotel de Ritz and out stepped the loveliest creature that graced the earth.
Her perfectly manicured toes that were clad in strappy three inch stiletto sandals and a silver anklet on her right ankle, black knee length skirt that hugged her long graceful legs and a red sleeveless shirt cut with a v- neck and a collar. A gold necklace with a cherub adorned her neck and dangling earrings on her ears. Her hair was up in a French bun with a few strands that framed her face.
She was wearing dark shades which concealed her eyes to the world and despite the lack of make up, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Tomoyo Daidouji was indeed a superstar in her own right. She walked into the ballroom where her high school reunion was held.
Once she walked in, people stopped and starred.
"Tomoyo-chan!!!!" Sakura ran to her best friend and hugged her.
Tomoyo removed the shades and hugged back. "I missed you too Sakura-chan." She smiled at Sakura.
"Wow, you're much beautiful in person and you've grown quite a lot." Sakura squealed in delight.
Tomoyo missed the genki Sakura during the ten years that she has been away and she noticed how much she has grown.
Sakura was a more subtle beauty than Tomoyo, while Tomoyo was the glamorous one, Sakura was the simple one, Sakura's innocence made her even more beautiful than Tomoyo could ever be and she admired her best friend for that.
Sakura now had shoulder length hair tied in a high ponytail with stubborn strands of hair made the hairstyle more elegant yet more homely. Her emerald green eyes maintained their usual childlike sparkle.
"You, my dear Sakura-chan, are the beautiful one."
They finally let go of each other when a tall guy with chocolate brown eyes and same messy mop for hair approached them.
Tomoyo recognized him at once. "Li-kun, my how you've grown" she gave him a friendly hug.
"You too, Daidouji-san." She remembered that Syaoran didn't like to express his feelings much so she let go almost immediately.
Tomoyo paused for a few moments to take a good look at her surroundings as childhood friends came to greet her.
After a few greetings, she took notice of her two closest friends, Sakura and Syaoran, who were having a teasing bout oblivious to their surroundings.
A few more friends came to greet Tomoyo all complementing her on her career or her looks and she smiled politely at all of them.
She excused herself from a former school nerd turned jock that was discussing about how looks can be deceiving and went to the balcony at the left wing of the hotel.
She had a glass of champagne which she took from the bar and was sipping it slowly, her arms over the rails of the balcony.
She noticed the sky was scattered with stars and the full moon casting a glow which contrasted perfectly with its midnight blue curtain. She noticed that the sky was the same as when her trouble first started.
Trouble with a certain guy who was everything she loved and everything she hated.
Speaking of which she hadn't seen all night, it was their high school reunion so he should be there, not that she wanted to see him.
"Excuse me, but do you mind if I join you?" Tomoyo knew the voice all too well.
Syaoran stood besides her admiring the stars. "Daidouji-san, there's something I've been meaning to ask you."
"What is it Li-kun?" She gave a soft smile to her childhood friend.
"Are you still in love with him?" Syaoran took a sip from his drink.
She produced a soft giggle, "You ask me if I'm still in love with him when he broke my heart that day?"
Syaoran gave her a serious look and said, "Yes or no, Daidouji-san."
She sighed audibly, "I hate him Li-kun, now does that answer your question?"
"That's all I needed to know, well, I better leave now or Sakura-chan will be worried with me."
He was about to walk away when he remembered to tell her something, "You can lie to me and other people all you like but you can't lie to yourself forever, well Ja na!"
He waved and went back to the ballroom. Tomoyo stared at his retreating form and realizing that his words were getting to her.
She'll have another sleepless night tonight.

Eriol was cleverly hidden behind the crimson curtains along the doorway to the balcony. He was about to go into the balcony and talk to Tomoyo when Syaoran beat him to it.
He listened to their conversation and managed to find out that they were talking about, him and Tomoyo's love life.
His whole world seemed to stop when he heard the three words he dreaded to come from her, the words 'I hate him'.
He left his hiding place and slowly walked to the ballroom when Syaoran caught up with him, "You heard it right?"
Eriol nodded.
"What are you planning to do?"
"Nothing" Eriol lowered his eyes to the ground.
Syaoran pushed him to the wall fiercely, "Hiiragizawa, one of my best friends is in love with you and I know perfectly well that you love her too and now you're saying that you're breaking her heart again by giving up on her? Do you really love her?"
"Yes Li, I love her with all my heart and all my soul, it's just that, she doesn't love me, she hates me. She said so." Eriol eyes held immense pain.
Syaoran let him go. "And you believed her?"
"Of course I did, she won't lie about things like this."
Syaoran blinked a couple of times, "She hated you back then too but that didn't stop you. Was it only because you wanted Kaho so bad or because of something more? If you love her so much then why would you give up on her? Your choice Hiiragizawa, give up on her now and break your heart along with hers."
Syaoran left Eriol to his thoughts. He was having a headache with his two stubborn friends.
