What happened last chapter:
"So my little descendant still has the skills..." a dark voice rang through the cool evening. Syaoran slapped his forehead, Meiling blushed and Tomoyo gaped in
horror. "No... it can't be..." Tomoyo said softly, her eyes narrowing into an angry glare.
Back to the story. Enjoy!

Out of the shadows of a group of trees stepped out a boy. "HOE!!!" Sakura yelled and everyone looked back to look at her. She sweatdropped. "Sorry, but his
voice sounds like an adult's voice." Sakura said, staring confusedly at the boy in front of the group.
"Eriol!" Meiling shouted, a bright smile on her face. "Long time no see, Meiling." Eriol said, smiling toward her which made her blush. "Hello, Li, Iowa." he said,
turning to Syaoran and Fang-Fei who glared back. He didn't say a thing to Tomoyo but he did give her a glare which he received back a glare. (A/N: Lots of
glares, ne?)
He was a bit peculiar looking but alright. Dark blue hair, and dark sapphire eyes covered by glasses. "Nice to meet you Sakura Kinomoto." the boy said, his
voice actually sounding like a young boy's. "H-Hoee..." Sakura said, staring at him as if she just saw a ghost.
"He has two voices." Meiling explained turning to Sakura. "Yeah, the younger one to look like an innocent little moron and the dark one is his real one."
Syaoran said, his eyes forming a glare. Tomoyo and Fang-Fei nodded in agreement.
"Oh come on! You know Eriol isn't evil!" Meiling said, standing up for him. "How would you know?" Tomoyo asked in an accusing voice. "Why Daidouji? You
don't trust me?" Eriol said in a mocking voice. Tomoyo shot a glare at him which didn't faze him at all.
Eriol ignored the glare and walked toward Sakura. "H-How do you know my name?" Sakura asked him. "I know every-" Eriol said but was cut off by Tomoyo.
"Lucky guess." she said, smirking at Eriol. "A guess?! Really?!" Sakura exclaimed making everyone sweatdrop.
"She's a bit too naive." Meiling quietly whispered to Tomoyo who just kept on sweatdropping. "Well, anyways, nice to meet you too!" Sakura said to Eriol.
"What's your full name?" Sakura asked him. "Eriol Hiiragizawa." Eriol replied. "You're Japanese too just like me and Tomoyo!" Sakura said which didn't make
Tomoyo any happier.
"I have nothing in common with him." Tomoyo said cooly, glaring at Eriol. "Neither do I want to." she said coldly. Eriol just kept that smile on his face. That
damn smile that made Tomoyo want to kick him until he frowned, his face twisting with pain. But that would never happen. He's Eriol Hiiragizawa. The great
half reincarnation of the great Clow Reed.
But he's not great. He's not great at all in Tomoyo's eyes. All the greatness goes to Fujitaka, Sakura's dad. He was just a stuck-up, flirting, conceited, annoying,
blood-boiling, damned idiot. To Tomoyo at least.
Fang-Fei was standing there, tapping her foot. "Can we go now?" she complained and pulled Syaoran with her toward the path to the Li mansion. Sakura
giggled and held out her hand to Tomoyo. "Shall we go?" she asked smiling towards Tomoyo. Tomoyo plastered on a fake smile and said "You go ahead. I'll
catch up."
Sakura nodded and offered Meiling to go with her. Meiling nodded slowly, a bit reluctantly and followed Sakura who was running to catch up to them. Meiling
looked back at Eriol a bit longingly and ran after Sakura.
~Tomoyo's POV~
After Sakura and Meiling were out of earshot, I instantly turned to Hiiragizawa. "What are you doing back?" I asked, making my voice as cold as possible. "Do I
need a reason?" Hiiragizawa asked nonchalantly obviously trying to get me angry. "Now you're going to try and flirt with Sakura?" I asked, making an evil
smirk. He glared at me.
"How could it be just because I was a bit cruel to my little descendant, you hate me like your worst enemy?" he asked, his words piercing me. I blushed heavily
and turned from him to hide it. "He's my friend... my long time friend. A special friend. An idiot like you shouldn't be insulting him." I said trying to sound real.
He smirked that stupid smirk that I've hated for the longest time.
"Liar." he said, smirking but at the same time his eyes full of mocking hate. I closed my eyes tight to avoid that look. "Shut up!" I yelled, covering my ears to
stop myself from hearing what he was saying. But I could still hear him.
"Daidouji, stop denying it. You're deeply, hopelessly in love with a guy that's out of your reach." I heard him say. "Shut the fuck up!" I yelled, a swear word
pouring out of my mouth for the first time. I opened my eyes to see him still smirking. "Daidouji, you're hopeless." he said, glaring a glare full of mock. I glared
back at him, wanting to crush every bone in his body.
We stood there for a few minutes having a glaring contest. "Tomoyo! Hiiragizawa!" a voice broke through our little contest. I turned my head to see Sakura
waving to us. "Aren't you coming?" she yelled to us. Hiiragizawa and I immediately put on our most sweetest fake smiles. "Coming!" I yelled back and sprinted
toward her.
~Eriol's POV~
Daidouji, that moron. She just can't admit it. It's just a lot harder if she tries to hide her feelings. Oh well, might as well follow them. I ran up to them, receiving another glare from Daidouji. She doesn't ever change, does she?
Syaoran and his annoying little fiancé was far ahead of me, Kinomoto, Meiling, and Daidouji. The four of us just continued walking along until we got to the Li mansion.
~Tomoyo's POV~
"See you later, Meiling." I said to her. "Bye Meiling!" Sakura said in her cheerful voice. Hiiragizawa gave her a smile that she loves so much and the one I hate so much. Unsurprisingly, she blushed. "I'll see you in school." he said, making her look all dreamy. I don't see why she could fall in love with an idiot, even have a mere crush on Hiiragizawa. He's an idiot for all I care.
"Bye." she said quietly, still blushing in her own little world, and went into the house. I respect that Meiling does love/like somebody, but why him? Me, Syaoran, and Iowa all hate him. Wait, he just said something. "What did you just say?" I asked him, still glaring at him. He smirked.
"I said I'll see you in school tomorrow." then his face fell. "Are you in Mr. Terada's home room?" he asked, horror with a mix of hate evident on his face. "Yeah." I said quietly loathing what he would say next. "I'm in that home room." he said softly. Oh shit, that's just great!
"That's great!" Sakura said. "We can be in the same class! That's good, isn't it Tomoyo?" she asked me and I almost fell down. How can she be so dense. Even Hiiragizawa looked like he was sweatdropping. "Yes Sakura. Very wonderful." I said, trying to sound real but it came out a bit sarcastic. But she didn't notice, thank goodness.
"So, shall we continue walking?" Sakura asked, breaking the silence that took over for a moment. I nodded, still having a smile on. "Yes, let's go." I said still having a fake smile on my face. We walked on until we reached my mansion.
~Normal POV~
"Bye Hiiragizawa! See you tomorrow!" Sakura said and cheerfully waved. Eriol waved back, smiling at her. "Farewell, Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo said, smiling but without emotion. "Farewell Daidouji." he answered back in the same emotionless tone. "Hoe? You're making it sound like you're saying good-bye for the last time." Sakura said in a bit of confusion. "Hah, I wish." Eriol said under his breath, glaring at Tomoyo who glared back. But Sakura didn't catch that statement, fortunately for Tomoyo and Eriol. They wouldn't want to explain the whole thing to Sakura.
"Tomoyo, Sakura? You're home?" a voice asked and came out spotting the three. "Oh, hello Hiiragizawa! Nice to see you again!" the voice said. "Mrs. Dadiouji nice to see you too." Eriol said, smiling the sweetest smile he could make. "You came back from England?" Sonomi asked Eriol. "HOE!!! You're from England?" Sakura asked, a bit shocked. Eriol nodded.
Tomoyo groaned softly. He was acting like a goody-goody in front of her mother. It was quite embarrassing for Tomoyo. "Say Hiiragizawa, why don't you join us for dinner?" Sonomi asked politely. "NO!" Tomoyo shrieked, making Sakura and Sonomi look over at her. "I'm sorry, I was thinking of... something." Tomoyo explained quickly. Sonomi nodded and looked over at Eriol. "So, will you?" she asked.
"No, I'm afraid not. I have to go-" Eriol said but was cut off by Sakura. "Come on Hiiragizawa! Let's go!" Sakura said, pushing him towards the house.
Yes, come on in!" Sonomi said and opened the door to the house. Tomoyo just groaned loudly. 'Here we go.' she thought bitterly, following them into the house.
~*~
"That was very delicious, Mrs. Daidouji!" Eriol exclaimed. "Tomoyo made it! I'm very proud of her!" Sonomi exclaimed, making Tomoyo blush in embarrassment. Eriol immediately frowned.
"Well, it's good for a young person's cooking." he said without much emotion. "It's really good Tomoyo!" Sakura shouted, smiling cheerfully. "Thank you." Tomoyo said, smiling at Sakura. Then she shot a glare to Eriol which Sakura and Sonomi didn't notice.
He glared back daggers at Tomoyo. A small glaring contest came in between the two until Sonomi interrupted it. "Eriol, would you like some more?" she asked, holding out a pot of soup to him.
"No, I'd really better be going now." Eriol said and got up from his seat. "Thank you for the wonderful meal Mrs. Daidouji. I really enjoyed it." he said, smiling his best smile that annoys Tomoyo very much.
"Oh, you're welcome Hiiragizawa. Please, come by anytime!" Sonomi said. Tomoyo groaned, but of course Eriol would never come by. Since she's around. "I had a great time Kinomoto, Mrs. Daidouji-" Eriol took a deep breath before going on. "Daidouji." he said, mumbling a bit and giving her yet another glare. Which was given back by Tomoyo.
Sonomi smiled at him. "Now, would you like me to take you home?" she asked him. "Oh no. It's all right! I can get there fine!" Eriol said, holding his hands up. "Well... oh I know! Tomoyo, why don't you walk home with him?" Sonomi asked her. "Mother NO!" Tomoyo shouted. "Now Tomoyo, I'm your mother and you have to obey." Sonomi said sternly. "But... what about Sakura?" Tomoyo asked her frantically looking for a substitute.
"Sakura will help me with the dishes." Sonomi said. "No, really, I can get home by myself!" Eriol said, very not wanting to go with Tomoyo. "No, you two should spend some time. You haven't seen each other in a while." Sonomi said. "But, we don't need to!" Tomoyo pleaded, looking at her mother with puppy-dog eyes. "No. You're going." her mother said sternly once again.
"Fine." Tomoyo mumbled and went to the front door and waited for Eriol. "Good-bye." Eriol said and dragged towards the door. "Bye Hiiragizawa!" Sakura said, followed by Sonomi's.
"Let's go." Tomoyo mumbled and opened the door which lead to the gate. She opened it and walked through with Eriol close behind.
~*~
The whole way through the walk, the two had been silent, occasionally holding glaring contests. They reached Eriol's big mansion and Eriol went on to go in. "I'll see you in school." Tomoyo mumbled and walked on home. Eriol didn't reply and just stood staring at her from his front yard, which is a huge garden. He stood there for about a few minutes and realized what he was doing when she got out of sight. He furiously shook his head and went on in, trying to take out the thought of his worst enemy.
End of chapter
A/N: So how was it? But I do swear, this will be E+T!

I do hope you enjoyed it and I hope this was out a bit faster than usual. PLEASE REVIEW AND I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!! Well, 'til next chapter! Ja ne!
