Chapter Eight: Skating Competition, The New Skater Revealed
Tomoyo's alarm clock rang at 5:30am. She was totally awake, and that was abnormal for her waking so early in the morning. She grabbed her board, and Eriol's clean clothes that the maid was nice enough to wash for her. She stuck everything into a duffel bag and walked out her door wearing her own skater clothes.
************************ On the way to Eriol's ************************
It was still dark as Tomoyo walked toward Eriol's house. She saw the silhouette of some one as she walked, but didn't care.
"Bitch..I'll teach you for taking my Eriol!" A voice said. Tomoyo looked at the figure walking and saw the glare from metal.
"W-who are you?" She asked getting slightly scared. Tia walked into the street light with an evil smile on her face.
"I'm your worst nightmare." Tia said.
"How many times do I have to beat your ass before you get the fact that compared to me you're nothing?" Tomoyo asked walking around Tia, but jumped back when Tia slashed her knife at Tomoyo.
"You took Eriol from me, so I'm going to kill you!" Tia said attacking Tomoyo with the knife. (can you say psycho?) Tomoyo dodged the blade, but got cut when she tried to dodge Tia's kick.
"You're insane!" Tomoyo said swinging her bag at Tia causing her to fall back as Tomoyo ran in the direction of Eriol's house. She was glade that she was faster than Tia, but the negative was that Tia had her skate board with her, and caught up to Tomoyo in no time. Tomoyo screamed as Tia swiped her knife at Tomoyo again. Tomoyo dodged again, and managed to knock Tia off her board as she finally reached Eriol's house. Her legs stung,a nd she was gasping for air. She ran up to the door and banged watching Tia head toward her again.
"Eriol!" She screamed as the door opened to reveal a tired looking Eriol. She jumped into his arms. He looked out the door to see Tia throw something towards them, and slammed the door shut to hear a clunk. He opened the door finding the knife in the door.
************************ Eriol and Tomoyo ************************
"Tomoyo are you ok?" He asked as she gripped him tighter, not wanting to let go, and that scared him. She was shaking slightly, and he could feel the tears on his neck. "Shhhh..it's ok" he soothed. "You need to tell me what happened." he said pulling her back.
"I was on my way over, when I met up with Tia. I didn't know it was her at first, and I didn't know she had a knife until she attacked me with it. She said she was going to kill me because I stole you." Tomoyo cried holding him tighter to her.
"It's ok, let's get your cut cleaned up." He said. He lifted her into his arms and brought her to the couch. "I'll be right back, to clean your cut." He said moving away when she finally released her death grip. He came back with antibiotic cream and bandages. When he was done he put the stuff away and sat down next to her.
"Do you still want to practice, because you don't have to if you don't want to. You don't have to be on the team if you don't want to be either."
"yes, I still want to be apart of the team. I have the tricks I want to do, but I want to make sure I can do them correctly." She said looking down. He lifted her chin, and look into her eyes. She swung her arms around his neck crying.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I was afraid I wasn't going to see you again. Don't ever leave me. Please!" She asked. He pulled her back and stared at her.
"I promise not to leave you." He said. She pressed her lips on his. She realized then that she wanted nothing but to be with him forever, but did he feel the same way? He laid her back on the couch kissing her deeply. He felt her calm down as he kissed her. (remember all that this is a PG-13 story, so no lemons) He realized then that he loved her more than anything, and he would sacrifice everything to make sure no harm came to her.
"I think we should get practicing." She said not really wanting to get up when they broke from the kiss. He moved and helped her up. They went down into the basement. Tomoyo got out her board and handed Eriol his clean clothes.
"Thank you!" He said kissing her before going to his room to put them away. She started practicing while he was gone.
************************ With Eriol. ************************
He shut his door and placed the clothes on his bed. 'I don't know what you're doing to me, but I like it. I've finally fallen for someone, and she's perfect. I just pray that we stay together always. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost her.' He said to himself.
************************ The competition ************************
They walked to the competition area together. He was holding her hand tight to his as she carried her stuff in her duffel bag. They met up with Sakura and Syaoran a minute later.
"Takashi said he would be here soon, and Mei Lin is registering us. So, where's the new team member?" Syaoran asked.
"Don't worry, when the person is to perform, then you'll know!" Eriol said walking to the half-pike followed bye Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran.
"Oh my god Tomoyo, what happened to your arm?" Sakura asked.
"I got attacked by Tia this morning." She said walking closer to Eriol. He placed his arms around her waist and held her tight.
"remember, I promised not to leave you!" Eriol whispered in her ear. She nodded contently and sighed.
"Are you ok?" Sakura asked worry written all over her face.
"I'm fine Sakura!" Tomoyo giggled. They walked and sat at their team area waiting for their groups turn.
"I hope your mystery member gets here soon Eriol!" Mei Lin said angrily waiting for their next member.
"Don't worry. The person will be here." Eriol said hugging Tomoyo to him as she sat on his lap. She had her head on his shoulder, and was playing with his hair while humming to the music that was playing for the skaters.
"Could you at least tell us if it's a girl or a guy?" Takashi asked getting agitated.
"Nope!" Eriol said as Syaoran went up for his turn. They watched him do all kinds of cool tricks.
"And Li Syaoran gets a 9.7!" The judges said. "Next up is Li Mei Lin!" She went up.
"Go Mei Lin!" Sakura yelled.
"You sure you can do this?" Eriol whispered in Tomoyo's ear as she watched Mei Lin.
"I'm positive!" She said looking into his blue eyes.
"Li Mei Lin gets a 9.6!" the judges said. "Next up is Yamazaki Takashi!"
"Ok, after I go it's your turn, so right before I finish tell Sakura you have to go to the bathroom, and go over and get ready. I told the judges your name, so Sakura will get a surprise when you're called." Eriol whispered.
"And Yamazaki Takashi gets a 9.7! Next up is Kinomoto Sakura!" The mic blared.
"GO SAKURA!!!!" Tomoyo yelled. "Remember to rotate!" She said and Sakura nodded knowing what Tomoyo was talking about.
"Kinomoto Sakura gets a 9.7! Next is Hiiragizawa Eriol." Sakura came back as Eriol went up laughing and gasping at the same time.
"That was great Sakura!" Tomoyo said hugging her friend.
"Thanks, so do you know how the mystery member is?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo panicked slightly, but the shook her head no.
"Excuse me for a moment, I have to use the ladies room. If I'm not back tell me Eriol's score!" Tomoyo said grabbing her bag and walking towards the ladies room.
"Hiiragizawa Eriol receives a 9.9!! That's great!" the announcer said. Sakura watched a mystery person get on the half pike as Eriol got off. "Next is Daidouji Tomoyo!" Sakura and the team gasped as the saw Tomoyo get out her board and put on her helmet.
"Sakura, I thought you said she didn't own a board!" Syaoran said gaping at Tomoyo as she waited for the signal.
"I didn't think she did, I've never seen it! Eriol, you have some explaining to do!" Sakura said as Eriol joined them.
"Later, right now we should watch this!" Eriol said as Tomoyo began. She had to be the best skater in the whole of Japan. She was pulling moves only pros did.
"I never knew she could do that!" Sakura said watching Tomoyo closely. When Tomoyo finished the entire crowd was quiet waiting for her scores.
"Well, that was the best we have ever seen. Daidouji Tomoyo receives a perfect score of 10.0!!" The announcer said. "Please be patient as the judges configure the scores."
************************ With Tomoyo and the team ************************
She walked over to the group with their mouths slightly opened, except for Eriol who smiled brightly.
"You were wonderful!" Eriol said kissing her.
"Well?" She asked the rest of the group.
"Oh my god, I didn't know you could do that!" Sakura said.
"For a prep you did better than all of us!" Mei Lin said.
"I knew there was something about you when you corrected Sakura." Syaoran said.
"How? When? What?!" Was all Takashi was able to say. Tomoyo just giggled.
"Let me explain!" Eriol started. "You know when we were supposed to capture the girl at the skate park? Well, I did, but I didn't tell you."
"She's the skater we went looking for!" Sakura asked stunned.
"Yea, sorry Sakura, but I couldn't say anything. It was my secret!" She said.
"But you hated us! This makes no sense." Syaoran said.
"No I hated your attitudes toward me! Skating is what I do to relieve the stress." Tomoyo said giggling. Everyone gathered around her and hugged her.
************************ The competition ************************
"Well, there is a tie. Breaking the tie will be determined by one member from each team skating their best on the half pike. The two winners are the Chan team and the Li team. Please pick a member and report to the pike!" the announcer said.
"Well, who's it gonna be?" Tomoyo asked.
"I vote for Tomoyo!" Mei Lin said.
"I agree!" Takashi said.
"Well, they're having Tia go, so I agree with Tomoyo going!" Syaoran said. At the Tomoyo's eyes widened.
"T-Tia's on the other team?" She said in horror.
"Yea..you don't have to do this if you don't want to, we can have someone else go!" Eriol said seeing the fear in her eyes.
"N-No, I can do it!" She said looking at Tia who was already at the pike top.
"You'll be wonderful, just think of your goal, not of her, and don't let her anywhere near your board!" Eriol said giving her a hug. "I'll be right here when you're done beating her. I wont leave you. I promise!" He said kissing her.
"I believe you!" She said walking toward the pike.
"The two members have been chosen. Ming Tia, and Daidouji Tomoyo. Tia will be going first." She took off down the pike doing great tricks as Tomoyo watched slightly bored.
"Beat that prissy! By the way, hope you know how to dodge knifes on a board!" Tia said pushing Tomoyo off the top making her start unevenly, but Tomoyo got control and ended up doing a new trick no one had ever seen before. She heard a loud 'wow' from the crowd as she finished smiling at Tia who scowled.
"Bitch!" Tia said getting down.
"The winners of the Grand National Skating Competition is the Li Team!" The announcer said. Tomoyo ran into Eriol's arms crying from joy!
"And what was that move called?" He asked meaning her first trick.
"The Knife Dodger!" Tomoyo giggled kissing Eriol.
The team won, and Tia ended up in jail for attempted murder.
