Chapter Seven: Together At Last

Tomoyo woke up in Eriol's arms. Her fever and cold had completely vanished, but she nuzzled into his arms anyways. Eriol stirred awake and looked at the angel in his arms.

"Morning Tomoyo." He whispered in her hair.

"Morning Eriol. Sleep well?" She asked staring into his blue eyes.

"Better than ever." He said lightly kissing her. "Come on, we have to go meet Sakura and Syaoran. Sakura's been worried sick about you, and we have to tell them you'll be the skater on our team."

"No don't tell them. I want it to be a surprise! Please!" She said giving him the puppy-dog face that made him squirm.

"Fine, but please stop with the face!" He said chuckling.

"Ok, where's the shower? I should probably be getting home soon."

"Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran know about us! He figured it out when I ran after you at the dance." Tomoyo froze from getting up, and looked at Eriol.

"Well, that's good, cuz now I don't have to lie to my best friend." Tomoyo stated giving him a kiss.

"The bathroom's down the hall, to the left." Eriol said. Tomoyo got up from the bed and walked to the shower. She got out fifteen minutes later, and walked into Eriol's room wearing a towel.

"I just realized that I have no clothes for school today." She said blushing like mad.

"Well, if you don't mind the skater look, you can borrow some of my clothes." He said taking out some baggy paints and a baggy t-shirt.

"Well, I don't have a choice, and I no longer care if people see me with you. All I want is to be around you!" She said taking the clothes and giving him a kiss.

************************ At school ************************

Tomoyo and Eriol walked to school together hand n' hand. They were getting all sorts of looks and stairs, but they didn't care as they walked up to Sakura and Syaoran.

"Morning." Tomoyo said to Sakura.

"Well, look who finally decided to switch to the skater side." Sakura giggled.

"Bite me!" Tomoyo said walking to her locker.

************************ Eriol, Syaoran, and Sakura ************************

"Dude, how'd you do it?" Syaoran asked as they watched Tomoyo walk to her locker.

"Well, It just sorta happened that day when you dared me to walk her home." Eriol said, not wanting to give Tomoyo's skating secret away.

"That's so sweet!" Sakura said as Tomoyo finally made it back to the group.

"Whatcha talking about?" She asked smiling sweetly.

"You, but anyways..are you coming to watch me now at the skate competition?" Sakura asked beggingly.

"Yea, don't worry, I'll be there." She said looking at Eriol as they walked off to class.

(Time Gap!!)

************************ Four days later (One day before the competition.) ************************

Tomoyo walked with Sakura out of their last class of the day. (by the way it's Friday)

"I'm so glad we don't have homework!" Sakura said. "Now I have time to practice."

"Yea.." Tomoyo said smiling.

"I see you like the skater look now don't you!" Sakura pointed out. Tomoyo had been wearing skater stuff since she was at Eriol's house.

"Well, I have no need to hide the fact that they're comfortable when I' around you and Eriol, so I just don't care anymore." She said as they met up with the boys.

************************ With the boys ************************

"Eriol..you seriously need to tell me who the other skater for our team is going to be!" Syaoran said persistently.

"It's a surprise, so back off!" Eriol said as the girls walked up.

"You know, I haven't seen Tia around lately." Tomoyo said.

"Well, maybe you haven't been looking hard enough Skater prep!" Tomoyo heard Tia say from behind her.

"Damn..spoke too soon!" Tomoyo said causing everyone to giggle and laugh.

"Hey Tomoyo..sorry bout me and the others making fun of you a while back." A girl with black hair and crimson eyes said walking past Tia.

"Um..no problem." Tomoyo said looking at Eriol who walked up behind her and placed his arms securely around her waist.

"I'm Mei Lin! Syaoran's cousin." The girl said.

"Nice to meet you." Tomoyo said smiling brightly.

"Excuse me!" Tia said getting back in front of Tomoyo.

"There's no excuse for you!" Tomoyo said giving her a look as everyone burst out laughing.

"You little bitch!" Tia said as she swung for Tomoyo. It was easily blocked by both Tomoyo and Eriol.

************************ Tia and Tomoyo ************************

"You wanna fight..fine!" Tomoyo said being relieved from Eriol's grip. "This will only take a minute!" She said kissing him lightly.

"He's mine!" Tia said attacking Tomoyo.

"What kind of makeup do you wear?" Tomoyo asked as she blocked Tia's kicks and punches.

"Tomoyo..beauty secrets can wait for later I think!" Sakura said from the sideline. A circle was now forming around the two fighting girls, and amazingly they were cheering for Tomoyo.

"Bitch..I'll teach you for stealing Eriol from me!" Tia said pouncing.

"One..you'll have to hit me first. Two..he was never yours so how could I steal him?" Tomoyo asked.

"He was too! Even if he didn't know it yet!" Tia screamed.

"I'm getting sick of you." Tomoyo said stopping, blocking, and then punching Tia causing her to fly into the crowd. "ok, let's get out of here." As they walked out of the building to the skating park.

************************ Skate park ************************

Tomoyo just sat and watched. She never knew how good Sakura was, until she saw her practicing. When Sakura whipped out, Tomoyo couldn't help but laugh.

"Sakura, you have to rotate your body more." Tomoyo said. Sakura did the trick again, and rotated her body like Tomoyo said and landed perfectly.

"How'd you know that?" Sakura and Syaoran asked at the same time.

"I saw it one day when I was reading this magazine. Good thing I read it." Tomoyo said giggling. She was relieved when they believed her. "I'm gonna get going home if I'm going to see you at the competition."

"I'll walk you home!" Eriol said getting off the half-pike.

************************ Eriol and Tomoyo ************************

He walked her to her front door.

"I'll be here to pick you up at 7:00am! Make sure your wheels are oiled, and you have your gear." He said giving her a kiss.

"Don't worry." She said as she walked into her house. He grabbed her wrist firmly to make her stop.

"Don't worry! You'll be great. I love you." He said looking at her seriously.

"I love you too. If you don't mind, can I show up at your house at like 6:00am to practice a little?"

"How could I ever say no to you. Bye!" He said as she kissed him lightly, which turned into a passionate one.
