*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.
