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.
