~Chapter 1~
Tomoyo grabbed her purse quickly as she paced herself towards the front door, running away from the boy that called her.
"Tomoyo!" persisted Eriol, as he ran across the room after the young lady whom seemed to ignore him.
As she was about to make an exit, Eriol was able to grab her arm, preventing her form moving any further.
"Let me go!" called out Tomoyo without turning around to face him.
"Look Tomoyo it's not what you think." He tried to explain.
"Don't lie to me!"
"I'm not. Tomoyo, please listen."
"No, you listen." Interrupted Tomoyo as she turned around to reveal her teary eyes, while staring at Eriol's azure pools. Surprised to find pain and agony inside his eyes, Tomoyo choose to ignore the fact seen.
"You are a scum! I can't believe I trusted you." said Tomoyo in anger, but yet the tears crawled out freely in pain. "You know what, forget it. I don't want to see you ever again. Goodbye Eriol."
Tomoyo turned around to leave, but Eriol's grip upon her arm tightens strongly, not allowing her to escape.
"Let me go." Whispered Tomoyo as she stood still facing her back to him.
"Not until you hear me out Tomoyo." Replied Eriol determined to fix things out.
"I said goodbye. Haven't you heard?" she spoke rather harshly.
"Tomoyo you need to listen." Begged Eriol.
"So you can hurt me even further? Enough is enough." She spoke in pain as her body started to tremble. "Now please, let me leave."
Eriol's grip loosened, as he felt his own heart sink into misery. Tomoyo pushed herself free, ambling herself to exit the door gracefully without looking back once towards the man she loved.
~~~~~~~ 5 years later ~~~~~~~~
The bride smiled, laughed, and kissed her new husband, whom embraced her within his arms while they danced in great bliss under the full moon that shined upon the dark night.
23 years old Tomoyo Daidouji sat alone at one of the many round tables scattered around the ballroom. She smiled in joy to see the couple so happily wed. All the planning and hard working for this special day was worth it. Everything seemed to be perfect.
A young gentleman crossed the room without any exact destination. He took a glance at his two best friends, Sakura and Syaoran, that now were wed and dancing in happiness. He smiled for their joy, too bad he had lost that special person a long time ago, so that's what he thought.
With a sigh he scanned the room and found, to his surprise, a lonely but yet mesmerizing figure. There she sat drinking her Champaign while watching the couples that danced. She wore a simple but yet elegant dress, which showed every developed curves of her body. With a smile Eriol Hiiragizawa strolled across the room towards Tomoyo, whom he hadn't forgotten within those 5 long years.
Reaching the lady in caution, Eriol leaned down towards her ear and whispered softly, while her wonderful scent intoxicated his mind.
"Would you like to dance?"
A shiver made its way up her spin, as Tomoyo looked up to find azure eyes staring down at her own pools. The gentleman that stood waiting for a reply looked familiar towards Tomoyo's gaze. He was a tall man with a very well built body. His midnight hair matched his fair skin and eyes.
"Sure, why not?" spoke Tomoyo as she lift herself up from her seat and laid her hands onto the arm offered by the man.
He took her towards the dance floor where Tomoyo laid her delicate hands upon his broad shoulders, while Eriol's hand circled her waist. Both moved easily with the rhythm of the soft music, which was one of Tomoyo's personal favorites.
"Not wanting to be rude, but have we met?" asked Tomoyo curiously as she gazed upon Eriol's azure pools, searching for some answers.
He chuckled, amused to know that Tomoyo still haven't figured him out. Did he change that much? Of course he had gotten a bit taller and started to use contact lenses, but other then that he was the same old guy.
"You can say we have met before."
"I knew you looked familiar." Spoke Tomoyo. "Now, to guess you name."
"How about a clue?" he suggested with a smile.
"A clue would be great." She smiled back.
He leaned a bit closer, making Tomoyo feel fuzzy and warm somehow, while her scent intoxicated even more Eriol's senses.
"I love chocolate." He whispered.
"Now that helps a lot." Both chuckled.
"Another clue my lady?" he asked charmingly.
Tomoyo chuckled, "Yes monsieur."
Eriol carefully twirled her around and brought her closer to him. Both partners could feel each other's warmth and pleasant scent. Her soft smooth skin tingled Eriol's hand, which traveled itself from her bare back towards her waist. Tomoyo shivered in delight from his touch. She wasn't bothered with the closeness between them, in fact Tomoyo somehow felt comfortable in the arms of this "stranger."
"The bride and the groom." Started Eriol, finding it difficult to somehow breath, "Are one of my best friends."
"Really." She sounded surprised, "Then we must have met a long time ago? Am I right?"
"Yes, your right." He replied smiling.
"Hum, let's see. By any chance you could be Takashi?" guessed Tomoyo in questions.
"No, wrong answer." Spoke Eriol a bit jealous that Takashi was her first guess.
"Hey you guys!" spoke up a cherry voice.
Eriol and Tomoyo averted their eyes away from each other to find Sakura waving her hands up high and heading towards their direction with Syaoran following behind. Both partners reluctantly let go of each other to greet the happy couple.
"Congratulations Sakura." Spoke Eriol as he hugged the bride. "Congrats Syaoran." He added, giving the groom a handshake.
"You know, your late." Spoke Syaoran trying to sound angry.
"But hey, I'm here, aren't I?" spoke Eriol smiling, Syaoran smiled back, "Well I'm glad you could come."
While both guys talked, Sakura looked towards Tomoyo with a smile.
"Look at him. He hasn't changed a lot."
Tomoyo frowned in question, "I still can't guess whom he is."
Sakura looked surprised that Tomoyo did not remember the one guy she truly loved. "Your joking right?"
Tomoyo chuckled, "No, I'm not. I really don't remember."
"Tomoyo." Spoke Syaoran, interrupting the girls, "Would it be ok if you sheltered our friend here, until he finds a new place to stay?"
"Sure." Spoke Tomoyo, after some thinking.
"Thank you my fair lady." Replied Eriol, who then went back in conversation with Syaoran.
"Are you really sure Tomoyo?" asked Sakura questionably.
"Yes, Sakura." Replied Tomoyo gazing at the charming gentleman, "I don't see any problems. Besides we were friends before, what harm would he do to me?"
"More than friends." Corrected Sakura in a whisper.
Tomoyo catching her words frowned in confusion. What did Sakura mean? Before she could ask her best friend for any further explanations, the bride and the groom were being called for the photo session.
"Bye Tomoyo. See you around, and if you need any help, call me!" spoke Sakura as her husband took her away.
Eriol approached Tomoyo's side as they watched the couple disappear within the crowd.
"So." Spoke Tomoyo averting her gaze towards the gentleman. "Any chance your going to tell me your name?"
Eriol chuckled, "How about we head to your place first." he suggested, for Eriol somehow felt afraid to reveal his identity and lose her from his sight again, not to mention the confusion that would start in the middle of the party.
"What are you planning?" questioned Tomoyo.
"Trust me. I won't do a thing. I promise." He whispered back.
Somehow Tomoyo did trust him and so she picked his hand with hers and headed towards the exit.
Sakura peeked over the crowd to find both of her friends heading away hand in hand. She managed to smile but still the thought of the two fighting with each other didn't please her at all, since she cherished both friends dearly.
"Syaoran, do you think it was a good idea to ask Tomoyo to take Eriol in?" questioned Sakura softly.
"Don't worry Sakura. I know how long they have missed each other. Beside it's time for their reconciliation. Don't you think?" whispered Syaoran back.
Sakura smiled, "I guess your right. I just hope it'll turn up fine."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo closed the door behind her, leaving Eriol to stroll inside the apartment in which Tomoyo lived in. It wasn't as big as her mansion, but it was as spacious, comfortable and cozy place to be in. The furniture, the place, and the sight were perfect. Everything seemed to suite the young lady.
"Nice place you got here." Complimented Eriol as he turned his gaze back towards the woman that now strolled her way towards the kitchen.
"Thank you." replied Tomoyo. "Would you like anything to drink?"
"No, I'm fine." Spoke Eriol as he followed her inside the kitchen.
Tomoyo opened a can of coke and poured the liquid into a cup. Taking a sip she went onto opening a cupboard, searching for something inside. Eriol watched her slim figure with a smile, as he wished to hug her body close to his as he always dreamed of for the last past years. How long have he waited to see her again? How long have he longed for her touches? How did he manage to survive in the first place?
Eriol chuckled, making Tomoyo turn to gaze him in confusion. "What are you laughing about?"
"It's just that I remember you so clearly, and you on the other hand can't figure me out." replied Eriol with a chuckle.
"All will be resolved if you told me your name." Spoke Tomoyo smiling, "Here got it!"
Taking her hands away from the cupboard, she pulled along from inside a small tin box. Taking the lid off, she picked a key and threw it towards Eriol, who caught the object and inspected it.
"This is for?" he asked curiously.
"The key to my apartment. Since your staying here I better give you a key, right?" she questioned smiling.
"Right." Replied Eriol, feeling a bit awkward.
"Come." Spoke Tomoyo as she took the cup of coke in her hands and headed towards the door. "Let me show you to your room."
Eriol followed the lady through the corridors, where they arrived towards a door. Tomoyo turned the knob and showed the spacious bedroom, with the comfortable furniture that matched the light colors of the room.
"Here you go." Spoke Tomoyo. "The bathroom is located at the end of this hall and my room is right in front of yours."
"Thank you my lady." Spoke Eriol gratefully.
"Now." Continued Tomoyo, as she reached towards Eriol's necktie and loosened from its collar. "Your name."
Eriol chuckled, while his hands pulled a silky strand of Tomoyo's hair behind her ear. "A clue then?" he asked.
"Hum, alright then. Give me another clue." She replied in a whisper, as Tomoyo looked up towards the azure eyes that met her pools.
"My name starts with an E and ends with an L." he whispered into her ears clearly.
With eyes wide open and everything coming into conclusion, Tomoyo quickly backed away in embarrassment as Eriol looked at her with a soft smile. He feared she would run away form him, and so he stood still not wanting to make a wrong move.
Tomoyo raked her hair back with her fingers, as she wryly smiled back. "Eriol Hiiragizawa." She managed to speak out his name after so many years apart from him. Funny how he still could make her uncomfortable and yet so warm and fuzzy inside.
"Tomoyo how have you been?" he asked, trying to break the tense atmosphere that seemed to be forming around them.
'How am I going to get out of this situation?' Thought Tomoyo desperately. 'The worst thing is that I invited him to stay in my house! This is tragic. Please say it's only a nightmare!'
"I've been fine." Replied Tomoyo coolly. "How about you?"
"Great. I've been great as well."
'No need to be afraid of him Tomoyo.' She thought yet again. 'He's just an old friend that came to visit you. Now relax and treat him as any other visit.'
Tomoyo managed to force herself to approach and hug him in an awkward embrace. "I'm glad that you're here." She managed to say.
Eriol a bit surprised by her action and calmness, hugged her back in a warm embrace, before letting her go.
"Well if you need anything, I'll be in my room." Spoke Tomoyo as she turned around to leave.
"Tomoyo." He called.
She turned back, "Yes?"
"Thank you for everything."
She smiled, "No problem." And escaped from the gentleman's presence. 'This will definitely be the worst days of my life.' she thought bitterly to herself, as she closed the door behind her.
