Chapter one:
Tomoyo sat in the waiting lounge of the airport, chin resting against one hand. She blew a tendril of hair away from her face, it landing in the same place as before. She glanced up at the screen, reading flight 857ENG from England; delayed. She sighed as she stared out the window and continued to wait in the empty lounge. 'This had better be worth it.' she thought to herself as she looked over at the screen once more.
Tomoyo woke with a start when someone shook her shoulder. Her amethyst orbs fluttered open as she looked at a young man kneeling beside her.
"Daidouji-san?" he asked expectantly
".H.Hai. ano.Hiiragizawa-kun?" she replied, unsure.
"Aa.Gomen ne for making you wait.my flight.it was delayed."
"Hai.I know.it's okay." she smiled.
He didn't smile back, "Shall we go?"
"Hai."
Tomoyo sat in the Limo opposite Eriol, the silence so much; you could cut it with a knife.
"How was your flight?" Tomoyo asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Okay," he replied staring out of the window, towards Tokyo.
"That's good. how is England?"
"Its good..." he replied.
'At least he's using more than one word,' Tomoyo thought.
"How's the weather over there? I was thinking of taking a trip sometime."
"It's gloomy.not a really good place at this time." he replied.
The silence returned.
"Ano." Tomoyo began after a while, "I talked to Nakuru on the phone a few weeks ago.she told me about everything.work.life in England.Mizuki-sensei."
Eriol winced.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Look! That's none of your business." He said, his voice turning to venom.
"Gomen ne.I didn't mean to.I just.Gomen ne." Tomoyo replied shocked, quickly looking out of the window avoiding his glare.
The car pulled into the driveway as a driver unloaded Eriol's bag taking it into the house. Eriol looked around the huge house, laden with soft creamy drapes and flowers hanging off wherever possible. Definitely how he imagined it. He heard her heels click along the wooden floorboards of the entrance before being muted as she stepped into the carpeted lounge room.
"It's a bit of a mess.I'm sorry, I just didn't know I was going to have visitors." she said as she began to gather some sketches placed carelessly on the couch and coffee table, "Would you like something to drink?" she asked as she shoved the sketches into a leather satchel.
"Yes please." he replied as she walked out of the room, heels clicking noisily once again.
"Ummm.if you can just wait while I get the drinks I'll show you to your room,
Please.make yourself at home" her voice strained from the other room.
"What happened to your maids and servants and stuff?" he asked, peeking into her leather satchel.
"Oh.well.umm.mother wanted to help me out but I said I wanted to make it on my own and make my own living." she replied coming back with a tray laden with cakes and two cups.
"You got to this point all on your own then." he said taking a seat on the sofa.
"Hai.all by myself.no help.no connections of my mothers.I was so proud.."
"but.?" he asked prying, as she poured two cups of tea.
"Well.I guess life got a bit boring." she said taking a sip from her cup.
"I see."
They sat for a while in silence awkwardly.
"It's been a long time since you've seen Japan.hasn't it?"
"Aa.It hasn't really changed."
"Well.ano." she began, "would you like to see your room, get comfortable?" she asked getting up.
"Hai." He replied.
He followed her as she walked out of the lounge and led him up the stairs where she stopped.
"Umm..my room is to the left so if you need anything, just give a yell. Your room to the right.follow me please." She said as she turned right at top of the stairs.
She walked down to the second door on her left and opened the door revealing a plush creamy blue room. "What do you think?" she asked.
Eriol looked around the room, examining it, it seems just like her taste, like the rest of her house. Soft creamy colours, giving it a dreamy, soft, cozy effect. "Just as I expected." he mumbled.
"Ano.there's a window over here, there's the view of the garden, go down anytime you like, Okay?"
He nodded walking over to his luggage to unpack. He opened the first drawer and saw a picture. It was Tomoyo and a young man standing together in front of her house.
"Ano.Daidouji-san. who's this?" he said pointing to the picture.
"Oh!.he's a friend.well not really a friend any more." she said, suddenly looking upset as she took the picture from him, "I had better leave you to it then," she said smiling once more as she put the picture in her pocket and heading to the door.
"Daidouji-san." Eriol called as she was about to leave.
"Nani?" she asked looking at him sweetly.
"Ano.thank you.for letting me say here."
"Oh!," she said looking a bit confused, "Daijoubu.it no real hassle." She smiled as she left. Eriol closed the door behind her as she walked off down the hall humming to herself. He walked back over to his bag and began to unpack. He felt around and felt something hard amongst his clothes. He pulled it out gently and gasped as he saw the picture of Kaho Mizuki and himself together in happier times. He paused, before putting it in the bottom drawer of the bedside table, face down.
What do you think??? Should I continue.I might give you another chapter..see if you get hooked..okay..thanks.remember the two R's. Read and Review!!! --Snow Flower
