A.N: nothing much to say here.......
Untouchable:
Chapter Five:
Rain clouds billowed as the rain pelted down in blankets.

Eriol looked at the empty seat in front of him worry filling his mind.

It wasn't Tuesday yet, she isn't supposed to be away until eight days time.

How obsessive was he? Timing the exact precision of her movements. If he could he'd probably be following her around all day.

Truth was, he missed her, he missed staring into the back of her head secretely, everyone else thinking he was listening intently.

He missed how every now and then he'd catch her watching him, how she'd smile brightly when she thought nobody else was watching, how she'd spin in circles in the rain, enjoying it for all it was worth.
Tomoyo sat up in bed rubbing her head, painful as it was.

She looked at her mother who sat beside her, resting on the bed seeming to sleep peacefully even though her brow creased with worry.

"Daijoubu da yo...." Tomoyo whispered softly to her mother.

Tomoyo looked at her clock, 3:00. Eriol would've finished school by now. It was odd how she'd think of him finishing school instead of any of her other friends.

Quickly she changed, wandering downstairs to find something to eat. She looked out the kitchen window, watching as the rain poured down.

It was such a miserable day today, there was no sunshine. Only dark, angry, lonely skies. She felt so much like the skies at times. So angry, so cold, so alone.

A buzz ran through the house, the signaling of the gate ringing.

Tomoyo peered out the window and saw Eriol waiting outside the gate. Quickly she pressed the button to open the gate opening the front door to welcome him inside.

"Konnichiwa," he smiled softly, his wet hair sticking to his face.

"Baka, where's your umbrealla, you'll get sick like this......"

"Oh, and here I was thinking you didn't care....."

Tomoyo looked at him, the blood rising to her cheeks, "I'll go get a towel...."

Eriol sat on the soft couch, dry and warming up beside the fire, a steaming cup of chocolate in his hands.

"Thanks for leeting me in, I know your mother said-"

"Daijoubu, I'll explain to her if she wakes up. Why are you here anyway??"

"I was..... I.... Well, I was worried about you"

"Hontou??" she asked earnestly.

Eriol nodded. "You seemed fine on Sunday, and you didn't turn up for school on Monday."

"Yeah, well I... I wasn't feeling well today."

"Oh yeah, here" Eriol said handing her a small paper bag.

"What is it??"

"Something I made, don't open it until I go, 'kay??"

"Hai...." Tomoyo said sweetly.

The silence returned and Tomoyo stared into her empty cup. "Do you want some more??"

"Here, I'll get it," he said reaching for her cup.

Reluctantly she handed her cup to him, her hand brushing his. Quickly she pulled her hand away, the cup smashing to bits on the floor as his grip wasn't enough.

"Gomen Nasai, I'll buy another one......"Eriol quickly apologized.

Tomoyo giggled, "Daijoubu, it was my fault......"

She bent down to pick up the broken pieces, Eriol doing the same thing.

Tomoyo looked at him, her face suddenly very close to his.

She could feel hear her heart beating in her ears, the sound deafening in the silence.

He leaned towards her, everything around him seeming to fade, damnit, he should have never have come here. He stared into her eyes, her deep amethyst pools which never seemed to end.

He cupped her cheek in his hand, pulling her towards him, pressing her lips against his.

He pulled her closer towards him, wanting to hold her close to him forevermore.

Her hands slowly slipped up towards his neck holding onto him gently as her long time wish was granted.

They were locked in embrace for what seemed like forever, kissing each other ardently.

Tomoyo suddenly pulled away from him, looking to the ground her cheeks red.

"I should go......" Eriol said standing and picking up the last pieces of shattered porcelain.

Tomoyo walked him to the door, stopping him before he walked out.

Gently she kissed him on the cheek, "Thanks for worrying about me....." she whispered.

"No problem...." he smiled.
Eriol came into school seeing Tomoyo putting her shoes away in her locker.

She turned bright red when she saw that it was him that had entered the empty hallway.

Quickly she fled up the stairs towards the second floor.

Eriol looked away as she ran up the stairs

Aiko watched the scene from a few metres away, "I guess princess finally understands..." she smiled, teeth gleaming.

Quickly she put on a sweet smile and walked over to Eriol.

"Eriol-kun..." she cooed.

"Eh?" Eriol said in surprise, looking to his left. "Aiko..."

"The one and only..." she smiled.

"Let's go to class..." Eriol said walking down the hall, Aiko at his side, telling him all about her shopping spree the other afternoon.

"So what did you yesterday afternoon??" she pried.

"Oh, nothing important..." Eriol said as the classroom door slid open and Tomoyo stood there wide-eyed.

Quickly she ran past the two of them, tears threatening to spill.

"Tomoyo!!" Eriol said trying to run after her, but Aiko stopped him.

"Don't bother! What can you do?!" she said scowling pulling back on his arm.

Eriol looked at Aiko in hatred. "What's gotten into you??"

"Her!! Her is what's happened!!"

Eriol looked at Aiko puzzled.

"Ever since she came along, she's been the only one you see!! I' haven't worked so hard to be this close to you to lose you to her, some slut you don't even know!!" she screamed at him.

Eriol pulled his arm away from Aiko, stepping away she she stepped forward.

"I've loved you for so long, given you time, reassured myself that you loved me too, but now I finally know, you've always loved her haven't you?! You never at one point had eyes for me, all you ever saw was her!!"

Aiko turned to march off but stopped to say one final thing, "She will not have you! You will be mine, or will be no-one's!!" she threatened.

Eriol grabbed Aiko's wrist, turning her to face him. "Don't you dare lay a finger on her!!" he said, his eyes narrowed, voice dangerously soft.

"Watch" she smiled slyly, twisting her wrist out of his grip.
