Finding True Love
By: Prince XiaoLang &
Final Fantasy Princess
Chpt 2: When We Became Friends
Amethyst eyes opened to reveal that the next day has arrived. Slowly the young teenage girl sat up in her bed, recalling once again that she is all alone. Her mother had left again to some work. But the young girl shook her head. At least she had visited and she was able to see her other than not.
Tomoyo got out of her bed and looked at the clock on her dresser. It read 11:10 am. Tomoyo sighed, thinking how fruitless this day was going to be. She already had the outfit she was going to wear out since she was bored last night. She went into the bathroom and took a shower. Then she got dressed after drying her silky hair.
As she headed out the door it was 12:20pm.
= - = - =
"You're early."
Tomoyo looked behind her at the figure, utterly confused. Early for what? She had no plans, right? Suddenly Tomoyo remembered. She was supposed to meet Eriol right here at 1. And it was 12:35.
"Oh... I had nothing else to do so I just came here by instinct. How are you today Eriol-san?" She asked politely. It had occurred to her that she had just recently met him, and knew absolutely nothing about him except for two facts. Those were that he recently moved here and that he loved this spot. Oh and he only knew his cousin that lived here.
"I'm fine. Arigato for asking Tomoyo-san. Do you want to go somewhere so we could chat? I know that it's kind of fast but I really don't have any friends and it kind of gets boring, you know."
Tomoyo smiled and nodded. "I know. It does get boring sometimes. My friends are mostly now out with their boyfriends so that's why I've been having too much time on my hands. I'd love to go to the café where we met, if you don't mind."
Eriol grinned his boyish grin. "Of course I don't mind. Shall we go my lady?"
"We shall."
= - = - =
Eriol and Tomoyo seated themselves in a private booth inside the café. Tomoyo looked up to see Eriol staring at her.
"What is it? Do I have something on my face?" She asked, touching her face to see if anything was wrong.
"It's nothing but I didn't think that you would act this way. Don't take it to any offense but I thought you'd just be another snotty rich girl. Gomen nasai for thinking that."
Tomoyo smiled. "Don't worry about it. I get that most of the time. I'm glad you don't think that. Let's start with getting to know you first, ne? Where are you from first off?"
Eriol chuckled as their drinks arrived. He took a sip from his tea and smiled. "I'm from England."
Tomoyo's eyes lighted up. "Honto ne? That place is exquisite. I love it how everything has a history to it. All the buildings are so ancient."
Eriol grinned. "I guess you have been there. But it doesn't offer much to study so I decided to come here to Japan. I would've gone somewhere else but I haven't seen my cousin for so long. He lives here and goes to Tomoeda High School as well. That is how I heard of all its courses."
Tomoyo nodded as she finished off her drink. "Who is your cousin? I might know him."
"His name is Syaoran Li. He used to be quite serious and well, mean. But I heard ever since he came here, he changed."
Tomoyo dropped her cup and slammed her hands down on the table. Her eyes were as wide as saucers and her mouth dropped.
"Li-kun?! That's my best friend's boyfriend!" Tomoyo exclaimed before looking around. She giggled nervously and took her seat once more from the stares she received. Eriol chuckled and patted Tomoyo's hand.
"Yes that is my cousin. So I see why he changed so much. I never thought that Syaoran would fall for a girl since he detested girls in China."
Tomoyo giggled before suddenly stopping.
"Tomoyo-chan! What are you doing here?"
Eriol looked up to see Syaoran and Sakura walking in together, hand in hand. Eriol smirked seeing Syaoran's furious glare and nervousness.
"Ah so this is the precious cherry blossom that caught my dear cousin's cold heart. It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Eriol Hiiragizawa." Eriol said. Sakura blushed a bit as Syaoran glared at him even more.
"I am Tomoyo Daidouji, pleasure to meet you too." Tomoyo said before giggling.
Sakura looked at Tomoyo confused before fully comprehending. Tomoyo was never fully introduced to Syaoran so she was just saying her name as well.
"My name is Sakura Kinomoto, I am Tomoyo-chan's best friend. This is Syaoran Li, my boyfriend."
"Pleasure." Eriol and Tomoyo said at the same time. Sakura sweat dropped while Syaoran remained silent.
"May we sit with you two?" Sakura asked, her eyes begging Tomoyo. Tomoyo nodded and beckoned a waiter to drag extra chairs.
= - = - =
"I never knew you were Syaoran's cousin. It's really nice to finally meet one of his relatives. He just stays here with Wei." Sakura said. Syaoran grunted as Eriol smiled.
"Sakura we have to go now. Your brother told me to bring you home by 9." Syaoran said, getting up. Sakura looked at Syaoran suspiciously then shrugged.
"If you say so. Since when did you listen to my brother?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Since never but your father is going to be there."
Eriol and Tomoyo smiled at the couple. They looked so cute together, after all they complimented each other. And they already knew what the other was thinking.
"Since you want to make a good impression eh? Okay okay we'll go. Nice to meet you Eriol-san, I'll talk to you tomorrow Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said, bowing.
"Same thing. Nice to meet you Daidouji-san, I'll see you around Hiiragizawa." Syaoran said as he held Sakura's hand and left the restaurant.
Tomoyo smiled as she saw them leave. Sakura seemed so happy with him. Being with all of them today reminded her of the old times. It was so much fun teasing Syaoran, having conversations, drinking tea, embarrassing Sakura. Tomoyo sighed. She wished that it was like this all the time.
"You okay Tomoyo-san?"
Tomoyo looked up to see that Eriol was staring at her, worried. Tomoyo smiled and nodded.
"I'm fine.
Eriol grinned. "You want to go back to our favorite spot? Before I walk you home?"
Tomoyo nodded, not catching the walking home part.
"Hai. That would be nice."
= - = - =
Tomoyo gazed at the stars. They were shining brightly and there wasn't even a cloud in sight.
The wind blew softly as Eriol and Tomoyo remained silent, taking in the scenario. Each was deep in thought about their own things. There was no one around them and the waves rolled softly on the shore.
"I'm glad that I've met you."
Tomoyo took her gaze off the stars and looked at Eriol strangely.
"Nani?"
"I'm happy that I've met you. I never had a real close friend before."
Tomoyo tilted her head. "Why?"
Eriol sighed as he looked at Tomoyo's confused expression. He smiled a bit before he proceeded.
"No one was really my friend in England. That is another reason I left. They were uncomfortable that I was so smart. So no one really became my friend."
Tomoyo nodded and patted his shoulder. "I know how you feel. No one really became my friend because I was rich. Sakura was the only one who saw through that. I'm happy she did. My other friend, Meiling-san isn't that close but she is a good friend. And now you."
Eriol grinned. "We're friends? Who said?"
Tomoyo giggled. "You."
= - = - =
Next Day
"Friday!"
Tomoyo sweat dropped as Sakura hopped around, yelling Friday. Her friend was excited since she was going to a romantic date with Syaoran. She had told Tomoyo all about it last night.
"This dress is perfect!" Sakura said, holding the emerald dress close to her. She smiled broadly at her best friend.
"Shaoran will love it!" She squealed. Tomoyo smiled at her crazy best friend.
"Sakura-chan you better get ready. I have to go to work in an hour."
Sakura nodded rapidly. "Meiling will be coming soon to help."
= - = - =
"Done!"
Tomoyo and Meiling stepped back and took a look at their work. Sakura was dressed beautifully in the emerald dress with simple emerald earrings and an emerald stone on a silver necklace. She had light makeup on and she wore emerald heels, which revealed her manicured toes.
"You look fabulous Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said as she filmed her with her camcorder. Meiling nodded as she put all her tools away.
"I have to go now. I have to meet Ryu in thirty minutes. You want me to give you a lift Sakura?"
Sakura nodded and went to Tomoyo. "Arigato." She said as she hugged her best friend. Tomoyo smiled. "You're welcome. Now go before you two are late."
Meiling and Sakura ran out into Meiling's car and then drove off. Tomoyo got her bag and headed to the studio. She almost forgot that she had to work that day.
'And Monday is school.'
Tomoyo rushed out the door and locked it. She went inside her car and backed it out of the driveway. She had to remember the lyrics in her head since her boss wanted her to make a new CD.
"You are always gonna be my love." Tomoyo shook her head. "Got to get going. Now I have to make a turn."
= - = - =
"I'm here!"
The staff looked up and nodded. "You're just in time. We got a little delayed since some of the stuff wasn't hooked up. Park-san is in the recording room."
Tomoyo nodded and went inside the room the staff guy told her to. She saw Park there, noting some changes in the song.
'Great. And just when I got the lyrics straight.'
"Konnichiwa Park-san. Gomen for being late."
Her boss nodded and looked up. "We're now ready. Try the song."
Tomoyo nodded and placed the headphones over her ears. She heard the song playing and took a deep breathe.
"Oh no no. ohhh , hmmm
Saigo no KISU wa
TABAKO no flavor ga shita
Ngakute setsunai kaori."
"Ashita no imagoro niwa
Anata wa doki ni irun darou
Dare wo omotterun darou."
"You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made."
The piano played solo for a bit.
"Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugokidasou to shiteru
Wasuretakunai koto bakari."
"Ashita no imagoro niwa
Watashi wa kitto naiteru
Anata wo omotterun darou."
"You will always be inside my heart
Itsumo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made."
"You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Now and Forever..."
Tomoyo opened her eyes and she saw the staff applauding from the other side. Tomoyo blushed a bit as she removed the headphones from her ears. She smiled as she scratched the back of her head.
"Very good Daidouji-san. Beyond good. It was excellent. We're done recording for today."
Tomoyo's eyes widened slightly, her expression saddening a little.
"Already?"
Her boss nodded as she snapped her fingers. The staff members starting packing things and shutting machines off. Tomoyo's boss looked at Tomoyo and smiled.
"Yes. Done early today Daidouji-san. I hope to see you Tuesday."
Tomoyo nodded dejectedly and proceeded to go to her car. She didn't want to go home and stay by herself again. She came here to get away from all of that but she had done 'excellent' and everything finished already.
Tomoyo closed the door of her car and sighed. 'What a dull day this is going to end up to be.' She thought.
= - = - =
Tomoyo walked along the beach, holding her sandals in her hand. She was fortunate she was wearing kapris or else she would've soaked her jeans.
She was too bored at home so she decided to visit the beach once again. She had hoped to see Eriol but it seemed as though he wasn't there this time.
Tomoyo got a tingly feeling when she felt the cold, fresh water of the beach touch her bare feet.
"Tomoyo-san, what a surprise. What are you doing here at this hour?"
Tomoyo smiled as she turned around and met the sapphire eyes of Eriol looking at her. He had his shoes in his hand as well and rolled his pants up. Tomoyo noticed he wasn't wearing his usual glasses. Instead she noted that he was wearing contacts instead.
"Eriol-san! I had hoped to meet you here." She said before she could rephrase her words.
"Oh you wanted to see me? Missed me already Tomoyo-san?" He said mischievously. Tomoyo blushed a tad before shaking her head.
"No, I just wanted some company. I got bored again since work finished early." She said. "Why aren't you wearing your glasses?"
"Gets foggy when I walk in the beach. It gets annoying so I decided to wear contacts today. What do you work as anyway?"
Tomoyo kicked the water as she continued to walk with Eriol by her side. She bit her lip, pondering if she should tell him or not. He was now one of her friends, right? It wouldn't harm anyone.
"I work in Park Enterprises." She said, unsure if Eriol knew about the music business or not.
Eriol looked at her in surprise. "You sing?"
Tomoyo nodded and then smiled evilly. Eriol was unsure whether to be scared or if she was lying. After all he didn't know Tomoyo enough to tell what she was about to do.
Tomoyo laughed as she kicked water at Eriol. Eriol looked down at his clothes and noticed they were now wet somewhat.
"Oh Tomoyo-san, you're going to get it." He said as he saw her begin to run off. He ran after her but the water was slowing him down. He quickly stepped on the dry sand and caught up to Tomoyo. But Tomoyo failed to notice him from her side. Instead she looked behind her and stopped once she didn't see Eriol there.
"Eriol-san?"
"Boo!" Eriol yelled as he hit water at Tomoyo. She squealed as she got wet. Eriol started laughing as Tomoyo pouted.
"You weren't supposed to catch me." She said. Eriol shrugged as he left his shoes higher up so the water wouldn't pull it in. Tomoyo did the same. As soon as she did, Eriol picked her up and put her over his shoulder. Tomoyo squeaked.
"Let me down! ErioL! Let me down!" She yelled, struggling to wiggle out of his grasp.
Eriol laughed as he went deeper into the ocean's water, his pants now soaked.
"Now you're going to pay my dear Tomoyo-san." He said before he dropped her. Tomoyo's eyes went wide as she fell into the water. Eriol started laughing as she resurfaced.
"How dare you get me wet?!" She yelled, feigning anger. Eriol couldn't tell the difference and then stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo-san. I didn't mean to get you mad. I'm really really sorry." He said before Tomoyo pushed him into the water. Eriol resurfaced and spit out water.
"You little liar." He said as Tomoyo started laughing. They then splashed water at each other.
Finally about a half hour later, they stopped and got out of the water. They were dripping wet and of course had no towels since they didn't plan to get wet in the first place.
"You know you look pretty when you're wet." Eriol said as they wringed water out of their clothes. Tomoyo stuck her tongue out at him.
"Just trying to get out of the blame." She said as she squeezed the water out of her hair.
Eriol laughed as he picked up his shoes. "How did you get here?" He asked.
"Walking. Why?" She said as she picked up her shoes as well.
"Want a lift? I brought my car. I think I have towels."
Tomoyo smiled and nodded.
As they made their way to Eriol's car, Tomoyo linked onto Eriol's arm. "If I fall it's all your fault."
"Hai Hai. Put the blame on me if you lose your step."
Tomoyo giggled.
"Yup."
Finally they made it to his car and Eriol took towels out of his trunk. He tossed a towel at Tomoyo and began to dry himself. Tomoyo did the same, trying to get the sand off her feet.
"Come on. Let's go Tomoyo-san."
Tomoyo nodded and got in the car. She giggled as she saw Eriol wrinkle up his nose.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry. Want to go eat?"
Tomoyo put a face that said, 'well we are wet.' Eriol chuckled and nodded. "Then let's go to your house and order pizza."
"Why my house?"
"Because it's the one and only Daidouji house and Eriol Hiiragizawa is always welcomed there."
Tomoyo giggled. "Then hit the gas and let's go."

Prince Xiao Lang: Done. The song Tomoyo sang in chapter 1 is Beautiful Goodbye sang by Amanda Marshall. The one she sang in this one is First Love by Utada Hikaru. Both are very good songs and I recommend you hear them. We do not own them. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Tomoyo smiled as she turned around and met the sapphire eyes of Eriol looking at her. He had his shoes in his hand as well and rolled his pants up. Tomoyo noticed he wasn't wearing his usual glasses. Instead she noted that he was wearing contacts instead.
"Eriol-san! I had hoped to meet you here." She said before she could rephrase her words.
"Oh you wanted to see me? Missed me already Tomoyo-san?" He said mischievously. Tomoyo blushed a tad before shaking her head.
"No, I just wanted some company. I got bored again since work finished early." She said. "Why aren't you wearing your glasses?"
"Gets foggy when I walk in the beach. It gets annoying so I decided to wear contacts today. What do you work as anyway?"
Tomoyo kicked the water as she continued to walk with Eriol by her side. She bit her lip, pondering if she should tell him or not. He was now one of her friends, right? It wouldn't harm anyone.
"I work in Park Enterprises." She said, unsure if Eriol knew about the music business or not.
Eriol looked at her in surprise. "You sing?"
Tomoyo nodded and then smiled evilly. Eriol was unsure whether to be scared or if she was lying. After all he didn't know Tomoyo enough to tell what she was about to do.
Tomoyo laughed as she kicked water at Eriol. Eriol looked down at his clothes and noticed they were now wet somewhat.
"Oh Tomoyo-san, you're going to get it." He said as he saw her begin to run off. He ran after her but the water was slowing him down. He quickly stepped on the dry sand and caught up to Tomoyo. But Tomoyo failed to notice him from her side. Instead she looked behind her and stopped once she didn't see Eriol there.
"Eriol-san?"
"Boo!" Eriol yelled as he hit water at Tomoyo. She squealed as she got wet. Eriol started laughing as Tomoyo pouted.
"You weren't supposed to catch me." She said. Eriol shrugged as he left his shoes higher up so the water wouldn't pull it in. Tomoyo did the same. As soon as she did, Eriol picked her up and put her over his shoulder. Tomoyo squeaked.
"Let me down! ErioL! Let me down!" She yelled, struggling to wiggle out of his grasp.
Eriol laughed as he went deeper into the ocean's water, his pants now soaked.
"Now you're going to pay my dear Tomoyo-san." He said before he dropped her. Tomoyo's eyes went wide as she fell into the water. Eriol started laughing as she resurfaced.
"How dare you get me wet?!" She yelled, feigning anger. Eriol couldn't tell the difference and then stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo-san. I didn't mean to get you mad. I'm really really sorry." He said before Tomoyo pushed him into the water. Eriol resurfaced and spit out water.
"You little liar." He said as Tomoyo started laughing. They then splashed water at each other.
Finally about a half hour later, they stopped and got out of the water. They were dripping wet and of course had no towels since they didn't plan to get wet in the first place.
"You know you look pretty when you're wet." Eriol said as they wringed water out of their clothes. Tomoyo stuck her tongue out at him.
"Just trying to get out of the blame." She said as she squeezed the water out of her hair.
Eriol laughed as he picked up his shoes. "How did you get here?" He asked.
"Walking. Why?" She said as she picked up her shoes as well.
"Want a lift? I brought my car. I think I have towels."
Tomoyo smiled and nodded.
As they made their way to Eriol's car, Tomoyo linked onto Eriol's arm. "If I fall it's all your fault."
"Hai Hai. Put the blame on me if you lose your step."
Tomoyo giggled.
"Yup."
Finally they made it to his car and Eriol took towels out of his trunk. He tossed a towel at Tomoyo and began to dry himself. Tomoyo did the same, trying to get the sand off her feet.
"Come on. Let's go Tomoyo-san."
Tomoyo nodded and got in the car. She giggled as she saw Eriol wrinkle up his nose.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry. Want to go eat?"
Tomoyo put a face that said, 'well we are wet.' Eriol chuckled and nodded. "Then let's go to your house and order pizza."
"Why my house?"
"Because it's the one and only Daidouji house and Eriol Hiiragizawa is always welcomed there."
Tomoyo giggled. "Then hit the gas and let's go."

Prince Xiao Lang: Done. The song Tomoyo sang in chapter 1 is Beautiful Goodbye sang by Amanda Marshall. The one she sang in this one is First Love by Utada Hikaru. Both are very good songs and I recommend you hear them. We do not own them. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
