Chapter three:
Eriol looked around the crowded market place as Tomoyo scanned the fruits delicately. He watched her as she picked and chose the fruits she wanted putting them into the bag slowly, examining them carefully. He smiled. He raven locks were tied back simply in a ponytail, tendrils of hair falling out over her ears. She turned towards him and smiled, "c'mon" she mouthed as she weaved her way through the crowded market in Tokyo towards a clearer area in front of a fountain.
She brushed the hair out of her face and sighed handing Eriol the last bag. Eriol just stared at her for a moment when he remembered a day in London just like this...
~*~*~*~ Flashback~*~*~*~
Kaho swept the hair from her face as she examined the fruits in the basket that she had just bought. She walked over to Eriol handing him the bag and smiling. We're done, let's go. She leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
"Thanks for helping out today," she whispered in his ear, a smile plastered on her face as she began to walk down the street, fiery red hair blowing as she walked.
~*~*~*~ End of flashback ~*~*~*~
"See something interesting on my face?" Tomoyo giggled as she waved her hand infront of Eriol's face.
Eriol snapped back to reality, " No....I just thought....nevermind.." he said taking off in the direction of the car.
"No wait!!.." Tomoyo called after him, " I want to go into the office for a few minutes.." She smiled.
"Aa..okay." Eriol said turning around and following her.
She led him down the long street still crowded with bustling people, chattering away, the noise at times unbearable. Eriol looked at Tomoyo, yet she seemed totally oblivious to the noise around her as an ambulance blazed past. Soon, they had entered a quieter street when Tomoyo spoke up.
"You shouldn't think about her too much....It's not really that healthy and to get better you have to stop thinking about her."
"Nani?? What do you mean?? Who was I thinking about??" Eriol asked trying to look as puzzled as possible.
"Mizuki-sensei...you were thinking about her.." she whispered quietly.
"No I wasn't....how would you know anyway???!!!" Eriol suddenly yelled at her defensively.
"Gomen ne....I didn't mean to...I just thought...you see I used to look like that when I thought about Masatake I guess.." she replied softly looking at the ground a far away look in her eyes.
Eriol walked beside her in silence as they walked down the passageway Café's on either sides of the street. Soon they came to the CBD (central business district) of Tokyo and Tomoyo walked down a main street and turned into a huge building. Eriol jogged to keep up as she entered the lobby, the security guard not saying a thing, only greeting her warmly.
"You seem to be well known around here." Eriol said softly to Tomoyo in the elevator.
"Hai..." Tomoyo said getting awkward.
She pressed the button for the 8th floor and they began to move upwards. Just after the doors had closed at the 5th floor the lights began to flicker. Tomoyo looked up at the roof of the elevator, a worried look on her face. The elevator began to shake violently, the as it came to a halt, throwing Tomoyo roughly to the ground. A slight scream escaped her mouth as she fell with a thump, suddenly gripping her ankle. Immediately, Eriol knelt down beside her grabbing her shoulders, forcing her to look up at him.
"Daijoubu ka??" he asked, worry in his tone.
Tomoyo winced in pain, " Hai...I'll be okay..." she said as she attempted to stand, but immediately fell down again, screaming in pain. Once again she tried to stand but fell down in pain again. Tears began to fall, as a sob escaped her. Her body shook slightly as she began to cry.
"Tomoyo...what's wrong???" Eriol said kneeling beside her holding her gently.
"Daijoubu....Daijoubu..." she said as she looked up at him, amethyst orbs filled with tears.
Eriol looked at her sympathetically and gathered her into his arms, as her sobs began to worsen. Slowly the elevator lights began to flicker once again, as it continued moving. A chime sounded as they reached the 8th floor and Eriol stood, scooping up Tomoyo effortlessly into his arms. "Which way?" he asked as her walked out of the elevator ignoring stares. Tomoyo pointed right, dumbstruck as he carried her over to an office at the end of the floor. Gently, he put her down on the couch infront of the office as a young girl with huge owl eyed glasses came rushing up to them.
"Tomoyo-sama, Daijoubu desu ka??" she said worry in her voice.
Tomoyo smiled gratefully, "Daijoubu."
Eriol looked around the huge office floor and then towards the office Tomoyo had pointed towards on the plaque it said:
'Daidouji Tomoyo; chairwoman'
Eriol stared dumbfoundly at the plaque, so this is what Tomoyo had meant by making it on her own, no help, no connections.
Tomoyo looked up at him, after reassuring her very worried secretary that she was fine. "Eriol-kun??" she asked as he just stared around the office in weird way.
"Hai?!" he finally said, snapping out of his trance like state.
"I can't really do anything now that this has happened so Haruka-san is getting a wheelchair and calling my driver. We'll have to wait for a while....Gomen ne."
Eriol shook his head and smiled genuinely, "I've always wanted to know where you worked.
Tomoyo blushed, "It's nothing really...I had some great help...."
"I thought that you told me you didn't get any help??" Eriol said slyly.
"Yes..well..Masatake-kun helped me a bit.."
Eriol looked down, "Oh..Gomen...I didn't mean to.."
Tomoyo smiled, " you didn't know..."
Soon Haruka came back with a wheelchair followed by an older man wearing a suit, presumably Tomoyo's driver.
"Tomoyo-sama.." he sighed, "haven't I asked you to be careful??"
Tomoyo smiled, "well then thank goodness Eriol-kun was here," she said looking up at Eriol.
Slowly they helped her into the chair and pushed her into the elevator (funny how they would use the elevator again) and towards the car.
"Tomoyo-sama, I'll take you to the hospital first okay??"
"Hai." Tomoyo replied blankly.
Eriol sat in the waiting room as the doctor took care of Tomoyo's ankle Soon she came out, bandage wrapped around her right ankle, walking with the help of crutches. The doctor took a look at the expression on Eriol's face and took him aside.
"Daidouji-san's ankle was fractured, it'll heal in time, but we had her have a talk with the psychiatrist and Tomoyo has deeper issues from a while ago. We do recommend a good rest and for her to stay off her ankle but in the other case, Tomoyo needs a break, from work, from life, from pressures. She needs to relax. Basically she needs a vacation. The ankle will take a week or two to mend and then I suggest that she takes a well-needed break, somewhere far away from here." The Doctor concluded.
"Hai." Eriol answered not asking questions, he looked over at Tomoyo, now seated and smiling as a little girl with the brightest red hair began to talk to her.
~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~
Eriol watched as Kaho sat on the park bench returning a stuffed toy to a young girl with soft bouncing ponytails. She looked up at him and smiled, gesturing for him to come over to her. Eriol walked over to her and sat beside her handing her a flower.
"For you.." he whispered lovingly in her ear.
She smiled accepting the flower and rested her head in the crook of his neck closing her eyes and sighing peacefully.
"There will be no one else but you..." She whispered to him squeezing his hand gently.
~*~*~*~End of Flashback~*~*~*~
Eriol snapped out of his trance-like state to find Tomoyo looking at him upset. She knew. It was odd how she knew what he was thinking of. How she observed things so carefully, how she knew exactly how his mind worked. And he thought he was supposed to be the mind reader.
He walked over to her and smiled, the little girl now gone.
"I wont think about her again, okay?? I promise."
Tomoyo looked back at him and smiled, "I promise the same," she said softly in reply, "I promise I wont think about him."
Eriol smiled as he helped her to her feet and they headed out of the hospital.
A/N: There!! Another chapter finished. Well Touya was changed to Masatake and so yeh..that's about it. Well remember the two R's.....Read and Review!!! Thanks. -SnowFlower
