--- Outside the cinema the next day ---

"Where is Tomoyo?" Eriol complained. "I have been waiting for her for half an hour already."

"Haven't you already realised? Gals will always arrive half an hour after the scheduled time."

"Tomoyo doesn't. She is usually the one waiting for me." Yukito could just give Eriol a stare as he continued, "Hope she is alright."

"Is that Tomoyo with a friend down there? Who is she anyway?"

"Tomoyo!! Over here." Eriol shouted over the crowd, waving her hand to get her attention.

Yukito could only sigh and pondered over who was accompanying Tomoyo.

"There they are, Natsumi let's go!" Tomoyo said as she pulled her friend over.

"Wait a minute Tomoyo. That guy over there with Eriol who is he?"

"Come on, Eriol is going to be so mad with me. Stupid traffic jam!"

"Wait, he looks familiar." Natsumi thought as she approached the pair. "He looks like. . . No! It cannot be. . ."

At the same time, "Now I remember, she looks like. . ."

"Yukito."

"Natsumi."

Both of them said together as they finally met face to face for the first time in five years.

"Yukito-san." Tomoyo greeted.

"Natsumi-chan." Eriol said at the same time.

Both of them never heard the greeting. The tension between them grew, each of them aware of their own feeling toward each other.

"Yukito!!!!!!!!!!"

~ ~ ~ End Flashback ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ Natsumi's Flashback ~ ~ ~

"Sorry Natsumi. I know it breaks your heart but I have to end this relationship."

~ ~ ~ End Flashback ~ ~ ~

"You jerk! Why on earth are you here?" Natsumi broke the silence

Yukito just stood there fuming at her harsh words. Eriol tried to help him but Tomoyo restrained him.

"You walked out on me five years ago. You think you can walk back in my life as easy as that. You are so wrong."

"Look here Nat, I was invited by Tomoyo and Eriol. I had no idea you were coming, if not I would have not accepted the invitation."

* Oh no! * Tomoyo and Eriol thought.

"Is that so?" Natsumi replied. "Well, even if I knew you were here, I would have still turned up. However, I would come with my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Eriol questioned Tomoyo who could only just shrug.

"Boyfriend? Then what happened to him?" Yukito couldn't help but spat back in jealously.

"Oh, he has work to do now, working overtime. So that's why I am alone now." Turning her back on Yukito. She addressed to the couple. "What time is the show?"

"1900hr."

"Alright then, it's fifteen minutes to seven. I think we have to skip dinner and just go for the show then." She decided aloud when she felt a tap on the shoulder.

I know it's a short chapter. But I think if I write very long chapter all the time, it is rather difficult to keep track of the story itself. So you all have to be patient. Thanks! R&R please
