Hurt and Total Happiness from Love

*Chapter One - Wishing For You*

Tomoyo Daidouji sat in her director's chair unhappily. She was now twenty-five and having a promising career as a movie director. She went through college quickly with ease and had gotten degrees in film. She had helped in the making of several popular films and lived in her own mansion. Her life seemed perfect to an outsider, but inside, Tomoyo knew her life was incomplete.

Her friends had all grown up and married; even Syaoran and Sakura had hooked up and now had two children. Both Sakura and Syaoran knew whom Tomoyo longed for, even though she wouldn't admit it.

Tomoyo loved her job, but she missed her love from long ago.

Eriol Hiiragizawa was living in England as a journalist for a daily newspaper. He thought often of Tokyo and the raven-haired beauty of whom he missed. Spinel and Nakuru weren't that much of company when a guy feels lonely for love. Still, he stayed with his job.

After a long day at work, Tomoyo arrived home in her limousine. She sighed and walked inside, she tried of being guarded and watched over by her mother. Even though she was twenty-five now, her mother still had her protective eye on her daughter.

Tomoyo sat at dinner; the finest chefs had prepared her meal. She tried to smile to her worrying maids and ate her food. Desert came as a strawberry sponge cake. Each bite seemed less sweet than the one before it. Tomoyo struggled to finish her food before excusing herself from her maids' presence to get to bed.

Later at eleven at night, Tomoyo sat on her windowsill's cushioned mantle. Her pink pajama pants and hello kitty nightshirt showed out the kid in her. Tomoyo longed for the days in the past when she had time to spend with her friends and most of allher one true love.

She looked out at the slivered waxing moon and the glittery stars.

Tomoyo's sad eyes watched the stars carefully; soon she began to wonder if the stars had a natural glimmer or if it was from her watered-up eyes.

A streak of brilliant light flashed across the sky and Tomoyo's hopes raised. She had a wish that could be granted.

Tomoyo closed her eyes and spoke out loud, "I wish that Eriol will come back for me someday."

Tomoyo's eyes fluttered open and she touched the window gently. She looked out among the stars and spoke to them, "Let my wish come trueplease."

Tomoyo lowered her head and stood up from the windowsill.

On her way towards her bed, she stopped to open the left drawer on her desk. The drawer was nearly empty, but Tomoyo pulled out a framed picture of Eriol. Her fingers traced his face and she kissed the picture before placing it gently back into the drawer.

Tomoyo then proceeded to her bed, which was turned-down.

She lay back into the soft satin sheets and fell asleep with her head rested on her pillow.

A year later, on the exact day and time that Tomoyo had made her wish a year before, in England; it was two in the afternoon and Eriol was far from asleep. He sat at his desk impatiently. He had writer's block, which was not a good thing to have when an article is due. His boss had demanded an article about something of the past from Eriol before sunrise. Eriol couldn't think of anything.

He sat strait in his seat with his hands on the keyboard, ready to type. He thought and thought, then a thought struck him. He could write about his childhood, that was the past. He remembered all his friends, and finally Plum Blossoms.

His writer's block was gone and he typed his story in twenty minutes. It was about Tomoyo, and what the world known director was like as a child.

Eriol turned it in and his boss a few hours later; Michael Ginner was very impressed.

"How do you know so much about her?" He asked with interest.

Eriol blushed, "We went to the same school."

Mr. Ginner shoved him in the ribs with his elbows, "By the way you're blushing I bet you liked herEh?"

Eriol laughed, "I still do."

"Then why don't you go tell her boy?"

Eriol looked shocked, "I can't leave my job though."

"Sure ya can! I'll give you the month off to go tell this plum blossoms that you love her!" Mr. Ginner laughed, "Heck, I'd want to do the same thing if I were you! Besides, I'm supposed to have a bunch of scholars write articles for the paper"

Eriol thanked Mr. Ginner and his face brightened.

Eriol got home and told his guardians the plan. Nakuru was very interested in going, but Eriol put a firm no down. He packed quickly; Mr. Ginner had been kind enough to even purchase the tickets Eriol would need. He was to leave the next morning on an airplane headed for Japan.

Eriol lay in his bed, it was settled. He'd go to see Tomoyo.

Sneak Peek into Chapter Two

Suddenly, Tomoyo's attention was diverted. She felt someone's eyes on her.

She paid less attention to the scene and turned around, looking for the eyes.

Tomoyo's eyes grew wide as her eyes met with someone she recognized.

"Eriol." She whispered his name.
