*~~Only For You~~*
Chapter 3
The three teenagers began to walk down to Yukito's new café while people glance at the trio with interest. They can all see a love triangle forming: some were happy they were not involved, others, wish that they were.
Tomoyo was chatting happily between the two boys. Smiling fondly, Eriol listened and commented when necessary. Syaoran, on the other hand, walked silently besides her.
"Syaoran-kun, can't you wait until the autumn festival?" Tomoyo questioned dreamily thinking of the festivity that was right around the corner.
Without waiting for an answer, knowing what it would be, Tomoyo linked arms with Syaoran and continued to drag him off to the café. While exclaiming how much fun this festival would be, and how she would design the kimonos for everyone. Eriol, walking close behind the two, started to listen in on Syaoran's conversation with himself.
Syaoran, blushing at the contact the two had, was secretly thanking kami-sama that he was the one Tomoyo was dragging and not Eriol. Looking over at her, he saw the light shining in the depths of her eyes and the beautiful smile that lit her face.
"What do you think, Hiiragizawa-kun?" Tomoyo asked.
Syaoran sighed, no matter how disgusted he was with Eriol, if Tomoyo was happy being Eriol's friend, then he was going to give it a shot too.
"If Tomoyo is happy, then so am I. I promised to make Tomoyo happy no
matter what." Syaoran thought with determination.
He mentally slapped himself, "The things I do for Tomoyo-chan...the things I do…"
"I think it sounds like a wonderful idea, Daidouji-chan. I, myself,
have never been to a festival like the one you are describing, but I should
think that it would be fun," Eriol answered Tomoyo's question, pretending
not to notice Syaoran's face.
Eriol heard the last part of Syaoran's conversation with himself. Being
able to read other people's minds did come in handy at times. What he
didn't understand was why Syaoran was saying these things. Eriol knew that this boy loved Tomoyo very much, but why would he put her happiness before his own?
"It's called love, Eriol, something you will never understand, since you
can not love," a sick, disguised mental voice reminded him.
This brought a terrible sadness to him, knowing he could never experience this happiness that made people smile secretively as if they hold knowledge none other could ever learn.
Tomoyo was smiling brightly while dragging a blushing Syoaran behind her, chatting away about the upcoming event. Sensing something had change in the atmosphere, she suddenly stopped and turned around, pulling Syaoran and Eriol to a stop as well.
Tomoyo looked at both boys, Syaoran was blushing, yet had a look on his
face that said he was having a serious mental discussion with himself. Eriol looked like he was doing the same, only with a bit of sadness in his eyes. Something was wrong and Tomoyo didn't like to see her friends upset.
"Hiiragizawa-kun, Syaoran-kun, what's wrong? Tomoyo asked as concern clouded her eyes.
"Both of you look as if you have a lot on your minds, do you want to go to the café at another time?"
Eriol looked at the young lady in front of him with surprise. No one had
ever been able to read him like that before. He usually was well hidden.
"What gave you the idea that we were bothered in anyway, Daidouji-chan?" he asked with curiosity.
"The look on your faces and how your eyes seem so distant, Hiiragizawa-kun." she replied.
This blew Eriol away.
Then smiling impishly, Tomoyo said, "Also, both of you seem so quiet." Eriol gave a half grin.
Syaoran shook his head knowing how Tomoyo knew what was going on, that was just how she was.
"Nothing is the matter Tomoyo-chan, I don't know about Hirragizawa-kun, but I was just thinking about the history report due Monday. I was wondering how I was going to finish it by then."
He knew Tomoyo saw past his lies without a problem, but she didn't say anything since Eriol was there.
"I guess having Hiiragizawa here did have a positive effect." Syoaran murmured.
"Same here Daidouji-chan." Eriol smiled.
"They both are lying. I have to have a talk with both of them," Tomoyo thought with a hint of a frown. She was bothered that her best of friend still couldn't trust her enough to be fully honest with her. She could understand Eriol though. They had just met after all.
The three continued walking to Yukito's café without much conversation. When they got there, Yukito welcomed them happily. They emerged into a room full of a friendly essence, intoxicating the air.
Tsukishiro Yukito was about twenty-two; he was tall with ash-black hair and light baby-blue eyes. Yukito was slim but well built. His face was
friendly and kind.
"Tomoyo-chan, Syaoran-kun! Glad you made it. I've been waiting for
you." Yukito smiled. Tomoyo laughed.
"I wouldn't give up your offer for the world!"
Yukito had offered to let them have everything on the house whenever they wanted.
Syaoran chuckled.
"I am starving," he said.
Yukito laughed at their honesty.
"Well come right in! I reserved a special table for you two-"
He spotted Eriol, who looked at him with wonder. Yukito grinned warmly.
"You brought a friend! Hello there, my name is Tsukishiro Yukito,"
he bowed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Tsukishiro-kun, my name is Hiiragizawa
Eriol. I just moved here from England. Daidouji-chan invited me along
with her and Li-kun to join them for a snack at your café."
"That's Tomoyo-chan for you." Yukito laughed heart fully.
Tomoyo blushed lightly and giggled.
"I'm taking that as a compliment!"
"It is a compliment, Tomoyo-chan," Yukito said to her smiling.
Then he turned to Eriol.
"Well then, welcome to Japan, I hope you are enjoying it here so far."
"Arigatou, for I am enjoying it. This angelic damsel came along and brightened my day!" Eriol shot a charming smile at Tomoyo which, Syaoran began to feel, was becoming infamous. Tomoyo blushed and laughed uneasily.
Yukito examined the teenagers in front of him a bit more closely. He waved off a certain thought that came into mind. Something that told him,
"Love Triangle."
"Why don't you three come in and have something to eat?"
"Arigatou, Yukito-kun!" Tomoyo grinned.
The four of them walked in and took a seat. Yukito went off to get
the special gourmet surprise for them. T omoyo leaned in to Syaoran and said,
"I told you something wonderful was going to happen today!" She smiled triumphantly.
Syaoran could only but mutter to himself,
"Good for you, bad for me."
Tomoyo, however, didn't hear him due to Eriol suddenly asking her,
"Are you and Syoaran in an social relationship?"
Tomoyo laughed coolly and answered,
"No, but he is my best of the best of friends! It all started from the day we met... " Tomoyo went on to tell Eriol of that special beginning of friendship between the two of them.
Syaoran, having heard, felt his heart sinking. He narrowed his eyes at Eriol.
"Why thank you, Eriol, for making her point that out. You saved me the pain of rejection," he scowled in his mind.
However, his glimmers of hope that she maybe faking it or she may grow to love him in a different way still shone in the deepest part of his mind.
Tomoyo's voice snapped him out of his thoughts,
"Syaoran-kun, about that history report you spoke of, I decided that I could help you! You too, Eriol-kun! Both of you can come to my house tomorrow afternoon!"
Syaoran stammered,
"A-Are you sure, Tomoyo-chan?"
Tomoyo nodded, smiling widely.
"Of course! Anyhow, I want to take both of your measurements for your autumn festival outfits!"
Her eyes began to take a certain shine that seemed like stars.
"Oh how kawaii you two will look soon enough!"
Suddenly snapping out of her thoughts, unnerving Eriol and Syaoran, she said,
"Ano... what is your report about?"
The two began discussing Syaoran's history report, and that allowed the time for Eriol to wonder about Yukito, of all people.
"Looks like I have met Yue again." Eriol thought watching the cheerful young man head towards their table with a filled tray balanced on his arm.
"But he doesn't seem to realize who he is." He smiled darkly,
"Things in Japan have already taken their place in my plan. But there are things at even I did not expect."
"Looks like everyone has made their own destiny here, or so they think."
