"What do you plan to do, Ms. Sallie?" The servant of the Kimosos mansion bowed down before his mistress. With mischievious eyes slitted with intense jealousy, Sallie paced around the room before turning around, "Smithers, my birthday is coming, is it not?"

Smithers bowed down, "Yes, it is, Ms." Sallie smirked, "Invite everybody and make sure all of Shades School turn up except for Eriol." Smithers looked up, "You mean… even we will have to invite your enemy, Ms. Sallie?"

Sallie grinned, "Invite that Daidouji girl especially." Smithers nodded hesitantly, "What do you plan to do, Ms. Sallie?" Her eyes grinned with mischief, "Make her cry."

"B-But…….it isn't a really good idea, Ms. Sallie…" Smithers responded and instantly received a glare from his mistress. "DO AS I TELL YOU TO! GO NOW!"

"Y-Yes, Ms. Sallie." Smithers slowly retraced his steps and exited the living room of the rich and wealthy Kimosos mansion.

Her eyes slitted and she broke into a smirk.

"Daidouji….you watch out. I'm gonna make your life worser than hell once you step into my mansion."

With that, she exited back to her own room, plotting the evilness of her next plan.

"Invitation to my birthday party?" Yamazaki held up the nicely decorated card in his hands. He shot his girlfriend a weird look, "It's Sallie's party." Chiharu shrugged, "I don't know if I want to go…I don't really like her…"

Yamazaki sighed, "Well…at least she took the trouble to write this card…Maybe we should go…" Chiharu smiled, "Yeah, maybe…"

The invitations spreaded around the school like wildfire and most boys agreed instantly whereas many girls was not going to be left out in a party. After all, knowing Sallie Kimosos was a very cool thing in Shades School. She was the richest girl in school, with the most beautiful mansion you can ever find, hottest taste in clothes, possessing an hour glass-shaped figure that even the most beautiful girls in Shades didn't have.

It was definitely uncool to reject a Kimosos's invitation.

"ERIOL! ERIOL!"

Those dark azure eyes immediately turned dark as he turned towards the voices of Sallie Kimosos. She smiled as she stopped before him, "Hey Eriol!" He glared at her before turning around and stalking off.

"Hey Eriol! Wait!"

"Back off." He whispered fiercely, not turning to face her. She paused in her tracks immediately, knowing he was meaning strictly business. Sallie sighed, "Give me a chance, Eriol! At least, let me have a date with you for a day only!"

Silence.

"I said, back off." He warned again before walking.

"ERIOL!!! Why do you treat me this way whereas that Daidouji person always managed to get close to you!? What is it that I cannot compare to her!? I'm smarter than her, I'm prettier than her, I'm everything better than her!!! Name me something that she has and I don't!!!" Sallie yelled out across the deserted hallway.

Eriol stood motionless before turning around, his eyes filled with fury and hatred.

"The only person to ask that question is yourself." He answered coldly before stalking off.

"ERIOL!" Sallie cried out as she watched him turned away on a corner. Jealousy and anger filled her eyes as she turned away, fists clenched.

"I'll make sure she suffers!!! I make sure she does!!!"

"Sallie wants to invite me to her party?" The raven-haired girl asked as her amethyst eyes scanned the card in her hands. She flipped the card around and saw the signature of Sallie. Curiousity filled her eyes as she flopped down on her dormitory bed.

"…This must be a mistake…I thought she hated me?" Tomoyo asked herself before sighing, placing the invitation on her desk, "Better not make myself present on that day. I don't want her to go mad around me again…"

The phone rang as she picked it up.

"…………Sallie?" She asked in amusement.

"Oh yes, it's me, Sallie." The voice at the other end of the line replied in a sweet tone. Tomoyo frowned.

"What is it, Sallie?"

"Did you receive my invitation card?"

"….Oh yes I did."

"Well, Tomoyo, I'll really hope to see you there on that night! I really would like to be your friend and really would like to know you better!"

There was a short silence before Tomoyo spoke again.

"…..Alright then…I'll make myself present on that night." She finally answered.

"Oh thank you so much, Tomoyo! See you again!"

Dial tone.

Tomoyo shrugged before placing down the receiver.

Was it all a trap or…did Sallie really mean it? Amethyst eyes stared at the invitation card before she picked it up.

Hope you'll attend my birthday party!

8:00pm at the Kimosos Mansion.

Formal wear. Not too casual please!

She sighed as she laid down on her bed. Guess she had no choice but to agree.

Dark azure eyes stared out to the waves of the sea. Everything was beginning to settle down around the night. The rays of the sun had disappeared beyond the blue line of the horizon, allowing the first light of the stars to shine its pure silver in the new blanket of night sky.

The waves gently walked the shore of the peaceful beach as the soft wind blew by, playing silently with his strands of hair.

Many things were on his mind. He never seems to be able to straighten them out no matter what. Everytime he was alone, his mind would always reach out to the fury and hatred of Skrichey, the one who had killed his parents, who had taken away all the love and warmth in his heart.

But ever since the appearance of a certain someone, things started to change in his mind. He no longer thought of hatred, he no longer thought of the sad memories of his parents…

Only she…

He shook his head, willing himself to free his thoughts. His heart twitched again and he immediately sat up. Footsteps made their way up to him and he immediately knew it was her. It was always her.

He knew. He knew the little sounds of her footsteps. He knew when she was close around him. His heart always twitched. It was somehow like a secret radar etched in his heart.

"Eriol-kun!" The always jubiliant voice called as she settled down beside him. He nodded silently, "Hey…"

Her eyes met his distant azure ones like always and she always found a reason to smile at. Like always, the usual twinkle lit up in her eyes as she turned to the skies.

"Wow…It's always so beautiful up in the sky, isn't it, Eriol-kun?" She looked at him as he nodded.

Silence.

"……..Eriol-kun….." She started before hesitating to continue. He slowly turned to her, "What is it?" Their eyes met before she broke into a smile, "Ne, are you happy today?"

Happy? That frickin' Kimosos almost drove me mad.

His mind silently asked him why. He had no answer for that.

"Yeah…" He replied slowly. She stopped before speaking, "Ne, you're sad again today, aren't you?" She looked at him, concerned, "Is the cold coming to you again?" He shook his head, "No, no…It's just that………I…." He shrugged, not knowing how to continue.

She burst out laughing, "Ne, Eriol-kun, you're so funny at times…" Her eyes then softened, "But if you don't want to talk about it, then we'll not. Don't worry…" She answered, facing the skies again.

Minutes just passed with the two sitting in silence, staring at the skies, seas and allowing the wind to play along.

"Tomoyo…"

She turned to him, "What is it?"

"…How come…." He started uncertainly before continuing, "How come…you always managed to see through my emotions?" She looked at him, amused before giggling. She turned to the sea.

"…It's your eyes that tells me everything. And the little actions that I always notice…" She replied, eyes turning to him again, beaming with warmth.

His heart twitched as he looked down to the sand, "…Eyes?"

She nodded, "Your eyes always lets out your emotions…Like how they screw up when you're angry, how they look dull when you're sad, how they seems to lit up when you're happy…" She pointed to his eyes, "You're sad, aren't you?"

He looked up and shrugged, "…….It's always scary…" She frowned, "Scary? Why?" He paused before speaking, "Because you somehow always managed to read my mind. It's…creepy…It's like I don't even have my privacy…"

She suddenly lowered her head before looking up, eyes uncertain, "…And you don't like it…?"

He shook his head quickly, "No, no, it's not that…" She smiled, "Then I'll try to step back a bit if that's what you want…" He shrugged, "…I don't know…"

Silence.

"You're not angry with me, are you?" She asked, voice suddenly dropping to a soft whisper. He instantly shook his head, "No, no, of course not…" She nodded, smiling again, "Thank you, Eriol…"

She stood up, "I'm sorry, Eriol, I've got to finish up my remaining homework. I still have a lot of History to catch up with." He slowly stood up, placing his hands in his pocket, "…I do have extra notes on History…Do you want them?"

She broke into a huge smile, "Oh I would love that! Thank you, Eriol-kun! I really need those notes!"

He nodded, "I'll get back to the dormitory to get 'em." She nodded, "I'll go with you to take them." He allowed a light smile to enter his features as she led the way back.

Sure, he hated Sallie, hated the way she insulted Tomoyo. And he finally knew the reason why.

She was becoming his friend, when he vowed to himself never to be close to any human beings.

He bowed down his head.

Dad………I……I vowed to myself, vowed to you never to trust anybody in life anymore…but…somehow I…I…

I don't know anymore……I really don't know anymore, Dad…
