Chapter 2: Friends?
The walk home was something new to Eriol. All he could think of was Tomoyo. Her smooth pale skin, dark hair, and amethys eyes.
"I wish I could meet her again." he sighed before opening the front door.
"Ahem. Meet who master?"
He looked up to see two of his guardians, Nakuru and Spinel waiting for him in the hallway.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, obviously irritated that they heard him.
"Well, if I'm correct master you were suppose to wait for us to pick you up. Unfortunately, you were no where to be found in your school--" Nakuru was cut off by her master.
"I'm sorry, but I wanted to walk home--alone--and..." he gave up the thought and walked up stairs.

"Tomoyo, dear, what happened to you in school?" her mother greeted her with a loud shriek that made her flinch.
"Mother, please, it's nothing major." she sat herself on the couch. Sonomi followed her and seated herself in front of her daughter.
"Oh Tomoyo nothing is minor to your condition! What if something goes wrong?"
"It was just diziness" her voice was softer than before telling her mother that she is very tired.
"Okay. Ayame please assist Tomoyo to her room." she waved a hand to Ayame and the nurse quickly obliged.
++
Alone in her room she couldn't help but think of Eriol. Never had she felt this strange attraction to someone she just met. The thought of him made her heart pound in rapit succession. 'How come I feel this? This is so new' she thought.
Ayame came in to check on her. When she saw Tomoyo's puzzled face, she went to her.
"Are you okay?" she patted Tomoyo's hand.
Tomoyo's trance was interupted. She looked up and smiled at her friend, "Nothing's wrong." However, deep inside Ayame's mind she new something's up.
"Are you sure? Because I think it concerns a young man named E-" Ayame was smiling mischievously when she saw Tomoyo pouting and making a NO sign with her hand.
"What makes you say such a thing!"
"It's okay Tomoyo, I'm sure Hiiragizawa-kun's a good man." Ayame grinned. Tomoyo half thinking good and half thinking curious--how Ayame found out his name remained silent and just posed a smile.

The next day Eriol took his time preparing for school. He even put his favorite cologne, which he rarely does, and ate a hearty meal for breakfast.
"Eriol, you better hurry! You're going to be late again!" Nakuru called out handing him his bag. He waved good-bye and darted out of his mansion. He intentionally took the time to arrive at school almost late. Smirking to himself, he raced up the stairs. To his surprise there was no Tomoyo Daidouji on the stairways, he guessed that she's absent. Making his way to his classroom, he felt his heart grow sullen.
Just when his day will turn out bad he saw the raven haired girl with Ayame walking in the hallway. He rushed to them and greeted Tomoyo a good morning.
"Master Eriol! My my, late again?" Ayame silently chuckled making Eriol blush.
"I guess. I wanted to see...if Daidouji-san's okay." he even blushed deep red and avoided Tomoyo's eyes.
"Thank you, Hiiragizawa-kun" she averted her gaze. Ayame coughed and politely excused themselves to Eriol.
She was a year younger than him, but he wanted to see her again. During lunch he looked everywhere trying to find where Tomoyo usually eats. At last, he finally found her sitting under a large tree without Ayame?! He walked to her giving one of his smiles, "May I sit with you Daidouji-san?"
The young girl was surprised to see Eriol Hiiragizawa standing in front of her. She nodded and placed down her book.
"Where is Ayame?" he asked her
"Buying food"
"Oh.."
At that moment a group of girls walked pass them obviously talking about Eriol. The two heard their conversation..
"What is Hiiragizawa-kun doing with that anemia girl?"
"That girl is obviously not his type"
"Bitch!"
Tomoyo turned his head to Eriol, "Maybe it's not a good idea to sit with me". Eriol smiled and just stared blankly at his surrounding, "No"
'No? What?' Tomoyo thought to herself.
"Who are they to talk about me and even you? No one" Eriol said as if reading Tomoyo's bewildered expression.
It was the first time he heard her laugh (of course!) and it was simple. Yet her movement was breathtaking, his heart started to beat faster. Finally, it subsided when Ayame coughed behind them.
"Am I disturbing you guys?" she chuckled startling the two.
"NO!" they both replied in chorus.
"O-k-aa-y!" Ayame said in a sing-song voice. Thw two blushed in unison.
I guess we're friends now...
