*Chapter Four - She's Not Yours*

Eriol arrived at Tomoyo's home and rang the doorbell. A maid came to the door and opened it, "Good day, is Miss Tomoyo expecting you?"

"Umnot exactly."

The maid looked worried, "Wellshe has company over now, I don't know if she'll be able to see you."

"Let me in, I am sure that she won't mind." Eriol pushed his way in; the maid followed him, "Wait! You can't-"

He heard laughter outside through a window. He made his way through the house to the back door. He came outside and looked around for Tomoyo.

Then, he saw them.

Tomoyo and Trave were playing tennis on a court in her backyard. Tomoyo wore a short white tennis skirt and white blouse with white socks and shoes. She laughed as she tried to hit a ball back over to Trave. She failed and ran after the ball.

As Tomoyo made her way over to where the tennis ball had fell, her eyes locked on Eriol's. He felt a pang of jealousy flow through him.

"Eriol?" Tomoyo mouthed his name.

Eriol walked to the court, "Hello Daidouji."

Tomoyo's eyes flashed with anger, "Where were you yesterday?"

Eriol found himself face to face with Tomoyo and the man, "I fell asleep."

Tomoyo stuck her nose up and made a quick turn and walked back to finish her game, "I'll talk to you later Hiiragizawa. Come on Trave, we've got a game to finish."

Eriol's fist tightened, "Tomoyo"

Trave got in Eriol's way, "She's not yours. If she wants you to go away, then go away."

Eriol turned, "I'll show myself out."

Tomoyo's eyes wavered, "Hurry Trave! I won't wait forever!"

Eriol left the house broken hearted and started to walk back to his hotel.

"Hey, Hiiragizawa!"

Eriol jerked around to find himself staring in the face of, "Kieta?!"

"Yes?" She purred in his ear.

Eriol stiffened, "What do you want?"

Her hair was long and slightly curled at the bottom. She looked into his eyes brightly, "How would you like to go see a movie or something. Ms. Daidouji gave me the day off."

Eriol softened, she liked him. "Sure, but first you have to start calling me Eriol."

"SureEriol."

He couldn't help looking down at her outfit, she wore a short pink skirt and a sleeveless top with 'professional bubble-gum chewer' written across it in pink. She smiled and took his arm and showed him to the new Movie Theater that had been built.

Meanwhile Tomoyo had finished her tennis game with Trave, they called it a tie and decided to go to a movie.

"We can check out you're newest direction and watch your name come across the screen!" Trave stated with admiration.

Tomoyo blushed, "I'd love that."

They decided to walk since it was such a nice day. Tomoyo found herself falling for Trave, even though she still felt that she loved Eriol.

Trave picked a Plum Blossom and put it in Tomoyo's long hair, "It fits you perfectly."

Tomoyo laughed and kissed him on the cheek.

Trave blushed and touched his cheek.

Tomoyo ran ahead, "Bet you can't catch me!"

They both felt like elementary school kids again, playing a game of chase. Instead of acting like the 'grown-ups' they were.

Trave caught her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Got you."

Tomoyo laughed and tried to squirm out of his grasp, "Common Trave, we'll never get to the movie if we keep this up!"

Trave let go and they ran so they wouldn't miss the movie.

A little while later, inside the movie theater, the lights darkened in the room.

The movie started. Kieta and Eriol had sat in the center of the auditorium get the best view of the picture. Meanwhile, Trave and Tomoyo sat in the back, watching the movie Tomoyo had directed with great interest.

When the movie was over, everyone in the theater was chattering about how much they like the movie. Tomoyo had been utterly surprised when not only did the movie show her name but it also had her picture flash across at the beginning and end of the movie. She hadn't been to the opening of the movie because she hadn't wanted to be swarmed by all the people. However, when someone realized that the picture that had come across was the lady sitting in the back of the theater, everyone went crazy.

People fluttered around her, asking for her autograph or insight on scenes in the movie.

Tomoyo put on her best smile and answered all of their questions.

Eriol spotted Tomoyo and Trave and stiffened.

Kieta noticed this and nudged Eriol in the ribs, "Eriol! It's not nice to stare!"

Eriol face flushed for a second, the went back to normal, "It's getting late, I'd better get going."

Sneak Peek into Chapter Five

Tears flooded her eyes and a tear dropped onto her bed. Reached back into the drawer and pulled out two yellowed letters. One was from Eriol from the day he left and the other was from when she and Trave first met. She opened Eriol's first, carefully unfolding it.
