Everyone was at the front gate. They were all happy since tomorrow was the weekend. Tomoyo was the first to leave.

"Ja minna! Don't forget Sakura-chan, you, your family and Tsukishiro-kun have dinner with me. See you then!" Tomoyo called, waving. She started walking in the direction of her house. She heard footsteps behind her, so she turned. Eriol came up to her and bowed.

"May I walk you home?" he asked a little of the breathless side.

"Of course. It isn't a privilege to walk me home, you know." she said. They started walking in silence, until Eriol broke it.

"Have you sorted out your feelings for Sakura yet?" he asked, tentatively. Tomoyo stopped.

"How did you know?" she asked. Then a realisation hit her. "Of course, I forgot. Clow Reed can read minds, can't he?" Tomoyo asked, a little hurt that he would take advantage of her. He shook his head.

"I don't read any of my friends minds anymore." he said.

"Oh, that's good." she said and started walking again.

"You still haven't answered my question." Eriol pointed out.

"I haven't sorted out my feelings and I realised, I don't know." Tomoyo confessed.

"Maybe you just need time. And support." he said. She nodded. They reached her house.

"Sayonara, Hiiragizawa-kun." Tomoyo said.

"Matte, there is something I want to give you." Eriol said while looking for something in his bag. He pulled out a small, wooden box and handed it to her. She gasped and took it. It was a painted light purple and had assorted flowers carved and music notes into the wood. There was a latch on the front.

"Why?" she asked. He shrugged.

"Think of it as an apology gift, if you wish, for all the times I annoyed you." Eriol explained. "Open the lid." he said. She did. A glass figure rose from the box and a sweet melody flowed out after it. The glass figure was a girl, beautiful in detail, who was spinning in time with the music. She stared at the music box, captivated by its music. It was playing Yasashisa no Tane. "It also reminded me of you and the time we did that duet together." She turned to him. She was smiling so beautifully; it made the breath catch in his throat.

"A-arigatoo gozaimasu. It is really very beautiful." she said. She wrapped her arms around her waist and hugged him. It took him by surprise. Then, surprising him even more, she kissed his cheek. "Arigatoo, Hiiragizawa. Sayonara." Tomoyo said, turned and walked into her house. He stood there, shocked, for what seemed like a long time. He finally turned and walked home. He was glad Tomoyo hadn't seen him or she would have seen the blush that now resided on his face. And the smile.

~~~

Tomoyo was quite annoyed at that moment. Everyone was at her house, except for two people, Eriol and Nakuru. Everyone hoped they arrived before Sakura did. Tomoyo paced. The doorbell rung. Everyone gathered around the monitor that showed outside the front gate. They all sighed in relief. It was Eriol and Nakuru. Tomoyo opened the gate to let them in. When Eriol came through the door, she punched his arm playfully.

"You're late Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo said, pretending to be angry. He smiled and bowed mockingly.

"Even after that kiss, we are still not on first name terms?" Eriol said. Tomoyo blushed and looked around. Everyone had stopped what they were doing and was now staring at her and Eriol.

"It's not what you think. It was just a thank you kiss and it was just on the cheek!" she explained. Everyone returned to what they were doing, some not quite believing what she said. Tomoyo turned back to Eriol, who was grinning, evilly. "That wasn't funny, you know. That was embarrassing. I guess you enjoyed that, ne?" she said to him. Eriol nodded sadly, but stopped when Tomoyo hit him playfully again.

"Close friends, aren't they?" Kagi whispered into Naoko's ear. She turned to him and he pointed the Eriol and Tomoyo who were both laughing. To his surprise, she shook her head.

"Actually, not long ago they used to dislike each other, intensely. But now there are trying to be friends. I'm not sure the reason for the sudden change though." Naoko whispered back. The doorbell rang again. Every stopped talking and went towards the monitor. Tomoyo turned.

"It's Sakura! Everybody, go hide in the dining room!" she said, frantically. Everyone left, but Kiri. Kiri opened the door for Sakura, Fujitaka, Touya and Yukito to walk in. "Konbanwa." Tomoyo said bowing. They all returned the greeting.

"You really have a nice house." Yukito commented.

"Arigatoo. Let's go to the dining hall. I'm sure Tsukishiro-kun is hungry, ne?" she said, walking to the dining room. Yukito walked along beside her.

"You can call me Yukito." he whispered to her. She nodded.

"Hoe, Tomoyo-chan. Why is it so dark?" Sakura asked. As soon as Sakura said this, the lights switched on. Everyone jumped out and shouted, "Surprise!" Sakura was startled. 'Everyone is here!' she thought. 'They did remember!'

"Are you happy, Sakura-chan? Tomoyo asked. Sakura nodded, cheerfully.

"Very happy, Tomoyo-chan. Arigatoo, minna." Sakura said, bowing.

"Why don't we eat?" Yukito suggested. Everyone laughed and sat at the table.

"Touya-kun!" Touya turned to find Nakuru sitting next to him. She grabbed his arm.

"Akizuki-san! Tomoyo-chan, you didn't tell me she was going to be here!" Touya said, loudly. Tomoyo tilted her head to one side.

"Didn't I? I must have forgotten." she said, innocently. Touya, luckily, had Yukito in between himself and Nakuru, though she was complaining about it later to Tomoyo. Tomoyo turned to Kagi.

"It is good seeing you again, Moriato-kun." she said, smiling. He smiled, too. "I'll introduce you to my friends." Tomoyo pointed to Syaoran, who was sitting next to her.

"That's Li Syaoran." she said. Syaoran nodded in acknowledgement. Then she pointed to Sakura. "That's Kinomoto Sakura, Syaoran-kun's girlfriend." Kagi nodded. "See that boy with the glasses there? He's name is Hiiragizawa Eriol." she said pointing to Eriol. She leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Watch out. He's evil." Eriol glanced at her.

"Been talking about me again?" he asked, teasingly. She stuck out her tongue.

"Only saying how much I hate you." she replied. He grinned.

Eriol looked at Kagi. "Who is that?" he asked.

"This is Moriato Kagi." she said.

"Ah, the doctor's son. Nice to meet you." Eriol said, politely. Kagi replied, not asking how he knew about his father. Tomoyo completed the introductions.

"That's everyone." Tomoyo said, when she had finished.

"Arigatoo." Kagi said. They looked at each other and smiled. Then they all started to eat.

~~~

After they had all eaten Sonomi and Fujitaka had gone off to drink coffee together and Yukito, Touya and Nakuru had gone somewhere else. All the rest of them were currently sitting in a circle in the living room, thinking of what to do.

"Why don't we tell ghost stories?" Naoko suggested. Sakura shook her head, fervently. Kagi rolled his eyes.

"It's always you and scary stories, ne Naoko-chan?" Kagi said.

"You must be close friends if you call each other by your first names." Rika commented. Naoko blushed, a little. Eriol turned to Sakura.

"Since it is your birthday, why don't you choose what we should do?" Eriol said. Sakura thought for a moment.

"Why don't we play Truth or Dare?" Sakura suggested. Some nodded, enthusiastically. Others shot nervous looks at each other. Eriol was the main recipient of those glances. "Nothing too extreme, so don't worry too much." Sakura assured them, looking pointedly at Eriol. He tried to look innocent. Tomoyo glared at him

"I'm not sitting next to Hiiragizawa, thanks." Tomoyo said, getting up and moving to another spot. Eriol pouted, cutely.

"I'll state the rules, minna." Sakura said." You're only allowed to have three truths before you have to take a dare and vice versa. No extremes, like I said before. You can choose anyone in the circle, but you can't choose someone a second time until everyone has had a turn. The person who was dared last gets to dare the next person and so on and so on. Understand?" Sakura asked.

"Hai." everyone chorused.

 "You start choose who starts, Sakura." Tomoyo said, facing her. Tomoyo suddenly stood up and ran from the room. Everyone stared after her, bewildered. After a few moments, Tomoyo came back into he room with her camera. "There's no way I'm missing any of this!" she said, holding the camera to her eyes. Everyone sweatdropped.

"I'll dare Rika-chan first I think." Sakura said. "Truth or dare?"

Rika fidgeted. "Truth." She answered. Sakura thought for a moment. Tomoyo was still recording.

"What do you feel for Terada-sensei?" Sakura asked. Rika blushed heavily.

"I-I d-don't know…" Rika said.

"Come on! You can tell us!" Chiharu encouraged.

"I-I guess…I-I…love him." Rika confessed, face red.

"Kawaii!" quite a few of the girls gushed.

"Okay, you're turn Rika-chan." Sakura said. Rika looked around the circle. She turned to Yamazaki. "Truth or dare, Yamazaki?" she asked.

"Dare." he answered immediately.

"You have to take off one piece of clothing and keep it off until we go home." Rika said. Yamazaki was only wearing a button-up, green shirt and black pants. He started unbuttoning his shirt and took it off. Everyone cheered. He was well built and well muscled. Yamazaki grinned foolishly. Chiharu blushed and looked away.

"Have you been working out, Yamazaki-kun?" Naoko teased. "It's your turn." she said. He turned to Rika.

"I'll get you later." he threatened. She smiled sweetly. He turned to Kagi. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth." Kagi said.

"Who would you go out with out of our girls here?" Yamazaki asked, mischievously. Naoko frowned.

"What a personal thing to ask!" she said. Yamazaki shrugged.

"I don't know." Kagi said and shrugged.

"Oh come on. Don't tell me you don't find any of these girls attractive?" he prompted.

"I think…Daidouji-chan is cute." Kagi admitted. Tomoyo blushed.

"Who wouldn't? She is actually one of the most sought after girls in our class." Syaoran said.

"Li-kun!" Tomoyo said, her blush deepening.

"Alright, you ask someone now, Moriato-san." Eriol said, conveniently changing the subject. Kagi nodded.

"Actually, I want to ask you, Daidouji-chan. Truth or dare?" he asked.

"Truth." Tomoyo said. Kagi thought a while.

"What did you think of me when you first met me?" he asked. Tomoyo thought a while.

"I thought you were very nice. I also thought you were pretty cute, too." she said. A few girls cheered.

"Okay, okay on with the game! Sakura-chan, truth or dare?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura thought a while.

"Dare." Tomoyo grinned evilly. Syaoran noticed how much like Eriol she looked just then. 'They've been spending way to much time with each other.' he thought.

"Gomen. I can't resist. You have to confess your love to the one you love most." she said. Sakura turned pink in the face and looked at Syaoran, somewhat guiltily. Tomoyo trained her camera on them.

"Syaoran… What can I say? I love you. I've been in love with you for years. I waited for you when you went to Hong Kong. I would wait for you again." Sakura said. Her face was blushing, but her words were sincere. Syaoran embraced her and kissed her. Everyone sighed. Who wouldn't want a true love like that?

"So kawaii! I'm so glad I have that on film!" Tomoyo shouted gleefully. Syaoran broke the kiss, bright red. Sakura turned to Tomoyo, grinning mischievously. She turned to Eriol.

"So Eriol, truth or dare?" Sakura asked.

"Dare." Eriol answered confidently.

"Don't think I'll take it easy on you, Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said, evilly. "You have to kiss Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-kun. On the lips." Tomoyo stared at Sakura in horror. She didn't think she could be so evil.

"Don't you think you're going to extremes? I mean, it's Hiiragizawa." Syaoran said. Eriol glared. Sakura looked at him.

"Think of all the matchmaking they have done on us." she said.

"You're right." Syaoran agreed. He turned to look at Eriol and Tomoyo. "Well, don't take all day." They looked at each other. Tomoyo turned away.

"Just pretend it's not him you're kissing." Rika whispered in Tomoyo's ear.

Eriol rolled his eyes and brought her close to him. He touched her face and kissed her softly. Tomoyo brought her hands to rest on his shoulders. She tried to pretend it wasn't Eriol kissing her. 'How can I imagine he is anyone else, when I can taste his lips against mine?" she thought. Tomoyo waited for Eriol to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't. She waited for him to force his tongue into her mouth, but he didn't. They just stood there, lips together and mouths slightly apart. Everyone was cheering and wolf-whistling. Eriol broke the kiss. Tomoyo lowered her face to hide her blush. They moved apart, embarrassed.

"I'm so glad I got that on film too! How sweet!" Sakura said, holding up Tomoyo's camera. Tomoyo gasped.

"Sakura!"
