keep updating though. Here it is:
***CHAPTER 4***
With sunlight streaming through her curtains and the birds chirping a sweet melody outside her window, Tomoyo opened her eyes.
She slowly sat up and thought, Oh I feel so much better. I guess I just needed a good night's sleep without any troubling thoughts about anything. Her thoughts suddenly turned to Shaoran.
How am I going to get over him? she wondered.
She then got up and made her bed. She opened her curtains and windows to let the sunshine and warm breeze in. Her gaze went from the clear, blue sky to the trees slowly swaying in the wind, to Eriol's bedroom window.
That's right, I almost forgot. Mother wanted me to bring the chocolate cake over there today.
She went to take a quick, cold shower and then chose her outfit for the day: a lavender tank top, her dark blue jean jacket and light blue jeans.
She headed downstairs, took the cake out of the refrigerator and also some money out of the small pouch her mother had left for her. She left for Eriol's house, checking if she had everything she needed.
Tomoyo walked up several stone steps of the white, cozy looking house and rang the doorbell. Eriol, looking good in his outfit, a dark blue shirt to match his hair and jeans, answered the door.
He greeted her with "Ohayo gouzaimus."
She replied back with the same and added, "Here, Okaasan and I want to welcome you and your family to Japan."
Eriol smiled and said, "Arigatou. Won't you please come in?" He held the door and let her pass.
Wow, he thought. She looks so beautiful with the way her hair flows down her back like that.
Tomoyo glanced around. "This is such a charming house! It looks so comfy from the outside but in here, it looks even better."
"Thanks. Would you like a tour later?" he asked, his eyes sparkling. "Unfortunately, my parents are out. They went on a business trip and won't come back until much later this month....By the way, have u eaten breakfast?"
Tomoyo looked surprised and said, "No, I haven't yet but it's ok. I just wanted to drop off the cake and welcome you. I'll be heading back home in a few minutes."
Eriol smiled. "No, I insist that you have your breakfast here with me. I'd really appreciate it and I wouldn't mind cooking for someone else."
"All right. But the least I can do is help you out." She smiled slyly, knowing he wouldn't turn down her help.
Breakfast was cooked and Tomoyo found herself sitting across from Eriol with the food that they cooked together, in front of her.
"So where are you from, if I may ask?" asked Tomoyo as she ate.
"I'm from China. I moved here because my parents lived here when they were young. They wanted me to experience life here in Japan and maybe spend the rest of my life, depending how things work out," responded Eriol.
They both chatted some more until they were done eating. Tomoyo offered to help with the dish washing. When they completely finished cleaning up, they went out and started walking to town. They walked side by side, talking about nothing of great importance.
When they reached the town, Tomoyo showed Eriol around, guiding him to her favorite stores. Finally, around noon, Eriol led her into a cafe.
"What're we doing here?" Tomoyo questioned.
Eriol grinned. "I'm taking you out to lunch," he replied. "Let's just say that this is a little thank you for everything you've done for me so far."
They finally recieved a table, ordered their lunch and began eating. When they were done, Eriol paid for the bill.
On their way out of the cafe, they bumped into Sakura and Shaoran, who were on their way in.
"Oh! Konnichiwa Sakura-chan! Konnichiwa, Shaoran-kun." said Tomoyo
Sakura looked around for a moment, confused by the voice. "Oh! Konnichiwa Tomoyo-chan!" greeted Sakura. Shaoran grunted in reply.
Tomoyo glanced from Shaoran to Sakura then back to Shaoran. "What are you-- " Tomoyo stopped when she saw Shaoran turning a deep shade of crimson. She then introduced Eriol to her friends. They exchanged hellos and Tomoyo and Eriol left the cafe and started walking.
As they were walking, Tomoyo was thinking to herself about what had just happened.
I guess Sakura-chan and him are going out now...I can't deny it or try to. It's so obvious that they are. Oh well, at least he's found his happiness with someone. She gave a little sigh, one that Eriol noticed, but didn't say anything.
After awhile, Eriol couldn't take the silence between them any longer. So he asked, "What's wrong Tomoyo-chan?"
Tomoyo looked up at him and smiled. "Everything's fine. Why do you ask?"
Eriol didn't answer and didn't say anything the rest of the way.
When they reached their houses, Tomoyo said, "Thank you for today, Eriol- kun, but I think I'm gonna turn in. I'm pretty tired."
Eriol hesistated. "Ok, see you tomorrow...."
As Tomoyo was opening her front door, Eriol called after her. "Would you like to sleep over at my house so you won't be lonely?"
She turned and faced him. She smiled. "No its ok. I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Then she turned around and headed inside her house.
Eriol's shoulders slumped. I was sure she would want to. Maybe I was too sure of myself. Oh well, I hope she feels better soon. I really want to see her smile...She's been acting like this ever since we bumped into Sakura and Shaoran. Hmmm...I wonder... With that last thought in mind, he headed towards his house.
