Eriol hesitated.
He looked down at his feet for a few moments before finally lifting up his hand and knocked on the door to her dorm.
No response.
He shrugged, refraining himself from calling out her name. He slowly turned the knob. It was opened. Allowing himself to push the door further, he took a quick glimpse inside the dorm before his eyes landed on a familiar form beside the table.
A smile touched his lips before he stepped into the dorm.
"Tomoyo?"
She didn't turn around but continued working on the computer laid on her table. Her fingers were busy typing some reports and her ears were covered with the sound of her discman.
Eriol took another step forward, looking at the computer screen.
History review pg. 98
He didn't have to continue reading to know that she was hurrying to finish today's assignment. Of course she had skipped school today in order to avoid him. But he had made it up to her and things had went smoothly since.
"Tomoyo?" He tried again.
No response.
He touched her shoulder and she jumped slightly, turning around.
"Eriol-kun! You gave me a fright!" She said, switching off her discman. Eriol shrugged sheepishly, "I…I came to pick you up." Tomoyo smiled, "Alright, Eriol-kun, but can you give me some time to finish up my project?"
Eriol nodded, taking a seat beside the table.
"I guess this is what happens when I skip school for one day." She said, letting out a sigh as she worked on her project.
"…Tough?" He asked, gazing at the screen with many words.
"Naturally…" She muttered half-consciously as she typed a whole paragraph in and saved her work. She smiled and stood up, "I'll finish the rest up by tomorrow. Let's go, Eriol!"
Eriol looked amused, "Aren't you supposed to pass up that project by tomorrow?" Tomoyo shook her head, "Mr. Tereda gave me an extra day, thinking that I needed more time to recover."
Eriol nodded as both headed out of the dorm.
"You lied to Mr. Tereda…" He stated a fact. She smiled, "I know. But I just have to, don't I?" He looked at her for a long time before asking.
"Is it really so hard to look at me in the face just now?" He asked. She dipped her head for a moment before looking at him, "You…you were angry with me just now…That makes a difference."
"Oh…I'm that scary?" He asked. She looked at him, amused, when she broke into giggles, "Sometimes, but you're cute when you're not!"
He flushed again, looking away just as they reached the school gateway.
Dammit. She always had a way in making him do the darnest things.

"It's better here in the dark…" She whispered as both of them stepped into the Valley. The stars were beginning to shine a beautiful color as the dissolving sun soon disappeared behind the blue line of the horizon. The place was peaceful, still left undisturbed by the human touch. Flowers continued to blossom beautifully, grasses continued to sway in the wind.
"This place hasn't change much, eh?" She commented, turning around to meet the eyes of Eriol Hiiragizawa. His eyes were once again roaming around the Valley, the same longing look there again.
"Ne, Eriol-kun…you alright?" She asked. He nodded, "I'm fine…."
He suddenly sensed it.
Something…
Unusual.
Skrichey. What is he doing here? Eriol turned around, eyes narrowing to catch the slightest glimpse of the dark man. He knew when his enemy was around. He was sure of Skrichey's presence now.
Why is he here? Surely not to…
His mind thought of the worst possibilities. But he feared to even think about it. He looked at Tomoyo, "Tomoyo, you wait here for a moment, alright? I'll be right back."
Right after his words, he sprang off. Tomoyo looked after him in amusement.
"ERIOL-KUN! ERIOL-KUN!" Tomoyo shouted after him, running behind but she couldn't catch up with him. He was gone.
"Eriol-kun!" She gave one last shout before she tripped and fell to the ground. She winced visibly before regaining her balance.
Why had he gone just like that?
"Something's wrong…" She frowned.
Could it be…Skrichey?
*
He ran frantically, over the huge plains, over many patches of grasses. But there wasn't a sign of Skrichey. He stopped, turning around. He could sensed it. There was no wrong about it. This aura…it could only be Skrichey.
"Skrichey! Show yourself!" He shouted, looking around the peaceful place of the Valley. "SKRICHEY!"
He breathed, exhausted from all the running. Why was Skrichey hiding from him? Something was definitely wrong…
Hahahahahaha…
Eriol jerked his head around. Evil laughter…of Skrichey.
You'll never win this round…Hiiragizawa…I'll let you experience what you once experienced when you were 13 year old…You took away my property…You took away my everything…
Now I shall take part of your heart away…
He arched an eyebrow.
Part of my heart?
Let me experience what I once experienced when I was 13?
He hesitated.
At the age of 13...
Dad died…
Part of my heart was gone…But I continued surviving…
He looked up, frantic.
"TOMOYO!"
He ran all the way back to the place where he left Tomoyo. His heart was beating fast, his fingers clenched, praying that Tomoyo was still there.
Please let her be there…Please…Please…
He froze, reaching the place where he and Tomoyo once were at.
She…
She wasn't there.
"No…N-No…" He began to tremble.
I'll let you experience what you once experienced when you were 13 year old…
"No…" He continued to mumble, collapsing on the ground in despair.
Now I shall take part of your heart away…
"Tomoyo…" The whisper from his mouth drifted away in the wind and was heard no more.

"Where are you going to take me to!?" Tomoyo asked worriedly as she was being captured into the van.
A dark-haired man glared at her, "Just shut up. You'll be safe. I just need you to help me do something."
"Which is?" She queried hesitatingly.
"Just be a good girl and stay by me. I just need you to make him miserable." He grinned evilly.
"You're Skrichey!?" She cried out, horrified by the truth.
"Well, you're smart, young lady." He smirked, picking up a cigarette and started to smoke, "I just found out that you're the woman he loves. I'm going to make him miserable like he did 5 years ago. I want him to suffer for making me suffer once."
"N-No…please don't do that to him…" She pleaded, eyes filled with tears, "Please don't hurt him again…I'll do anything for you…"
His eyes smiled, "Well, good, then stay here and be a good young lady."
"N-No…please…"
"Just follow what I tell you to do or else I shall kill you." His eyes gleamed, "And he will have no more reasons to live for, because half of his heart is already with you."
"No…" She whimpered.
"Stay here and be a good girl. You'll be reaching somewhere soon." He commanded before hopping to the front seat.
"Please don't…" She sobbed.
Tomoyo…
She looked up.
It was Eriol's voice.
He sounded so sad…
Tears fell down her petal-like cheeks.
"Eriol-kun…" She whispered.
