(A/N: The truth about the relationship between Kaho and Eriol will be
revealed in this chapter! I would be really happy if everyone were to R&R
so that I could make my story better! Sorry for any grammar mistake and...
Let's proceed to the story!)
~+~
" Me... As the female lead...?" Asked Tomoyo.
" Yeah, that's right, you! You dance great, though your part of being a bitch can't be rewrite." Joked Eriol.
" Hey, why are you still calling me a bitch?!" Cried Tomoyo, angry.
" Okay, okay! I'm joking!" Said Eriol. " Let's get serious now." He said as he looked seriously at Tomoyo. " You're selected to be the female of the show."
" Me?! No way?! I'll never accept it!" Said Tomoyo, shaking her head furiously.
" Doshite?" Asked Eriol.
" Datte... datte... I can't dance in front of everyone." She said as she looks down onto the floor.
" What do you mean by that?" He asked.
" Everyone looks down onto me. Cos' they've never see me dance when I'm alone. I... I just don't have the courage to dance in front of everyone." She said as she tightened her fists. " I... I just can't do it." She said as she runs out of the hall.
" Bitch!" He called after. " Daidouji..."
~*~
" So, you're really here, huh?" Said a voice behind Tomoyo.
" Hiiragizawa, it's you..." Said Tomoyo as she hugs her legs. Eriol then sits besides her on the sand. ( BTW, they're in the beach! )
" What are you doing here? It's really late." Asked Eriol as he looks up at the sky. Tomoyo sat there, remained silent. Eriol looked at Tomoyo and looked up at the sky again. The two enemies, who had just became friends, sat there, quietly. There was a silence.
" ' Life of Dance ' ." Tomoyo broke the silence.
" ' Life of Dance ' ?" Asked Eriol, looking at Tomoyo.
" The dance I was practicing just now is ' Life of Dance '." She said as she paused for a few seconds. " The dance was created by my mum, Daidouji Sonomi." She said as she sniffed.
" I see..."
There was a long pause, but was soon broken, once again by Tomoyo.
" My mum was a successful businesswoman."
' Was ' ? Thought Eriol.
" She works really hard for us. My dad abandoned us since I was a child, and my mum has to work very hard for us. My mum and I had always lived together, going through obstacles. Finally, our hard work didn't let us down. My mum became a businesswoman and was a very successful one. Soon, we became rich."
" Oh..."
" But, one fearful day arrived." Continued Tomoyo. Eriol looked at Tomoyo pitifully. " My mum got into a car crash and was sent to hospital. Not long after that, she died." Said Tomoyo as she paused for a while.
" During her last breath, she used all her might and told me..."
The past...
Okasan! You musn't die! Cried the fourteen-year-old Tomoyo, holding her mum's hand.
Tomoyo chan, life and death are predestined. Said Sonomi as she coughs. I would like you to do me a favour.
What is it? Tomoyo chan will do anything for Okasan! She cried as tears dripped down from her face.
Please, master the ' Life of Dance '. Said Sonomi. Since I was a kid, Nandesico chan and I had always enjoyed dancing. When we were 15, the both of us created a dance, called the ' Life of Dance '. She said as she paused for a moment. Both of us swear that one of us, have to master the dance and shall let the dance be known in the whole world. But now, Nandesico chan has died, and I'm left to accomplish our promise. But, I'm leaving soon... She said as she coughs.
Janai yo! Okasan will not die! Never!
Tomoyo chan, She said as she pads Tomoyo's head. Tomoyo looks at her mother.
Nani?
Please, do me a favour by mastering ' Life of Dance ', ne? Then, tell the whole world about this dance and tell them who created it,
Okasan!
And, make sure the whole world knows about it, ne? Promise me.
Hai!
Yogata... Said Sonomi as she closes her eyes and passed away peacefully.
Okasan! Okasan!
End of recall...
" My mum died, just like that. And I can't even keep my promise!" She cried and looks at Eriol as tears brimmed her eyes.
" Daidouji..."
" Why can't I even dance in front of everyone?! How am I suppose to keep my promise like this?! Doshite?! Doshite?!" Cried Tomoyo as she hugs Eriol. Eriol sat here, shocked by Tomoyo's action and blushed bright red. All he knew he could do is give her back a hug and calm her down.
" Why am I so retarded?" Cried Tomoyo. " Why? Why?!"
" You're not retarded." Said Eriol as Tomoyo looks at him. " You just don't have the courage. Like I was before."
" You?" Asked Tomoyo as she wipes her tears away.
" Hai. 2 years ago, Mizuki Kaho was not my sister."
" Eh?"
" I loved her." He said. " I really loved her. But, she doesn't knows about it and take me as her best friends. I had chances to tell her how I felt about her but, I just don't have the courage to tell her."
" Hiiragizawa..." Muttered Tomoyo. Just a minute ago, she was the one telling her story, crying. And now, it's his turn, though his not crying.
" Until 2 years ago. I remember it clearly. It was on 24th of December, Christmas eve. We were having fun at the arcade and were walking home. There were two paths for us to choose to walk home. The path with a pedestrian crossing and the path without one."
" Unfortunately, we chose the wrong path. Kaho caught up with an accident and was hospitalize. I wanted to tell her how I feel with all my heart in that critical moment but, I can't. Even at that moment. I don't have the courage to tell her."
" Fortunately, she didn't die. However, she lost her memory and took me as her brother. I want her to be happy. So, I cooperated with her and am her brother. Since that day, I swear that if I were to find another one I love, I'll make sure I'll have the courage to tell her how I feel." He said as he looks up at the sky.
" Don't you feel sad that you couldn't be her lover?" Asked Tomoyo.
" Iie." He replied without a second thought. " As long as she's happy, it's alright for me."
" Hiiragizawa..." Said Tomoyo as she looks up at the sky. " Hey look! A shooting star!" Exclaim Tomoyo as she points at the star. " Hurry up, make a wish!" Said Tomoyo as the both of them closed their eyes to make a wish.
" What did you wish for?" Asked Eriol curiously.
" Nah! I won't tell you! It's a secret." Said Tomoyo. " And what's yours?"
" Nah! It's a secret!" Said Eriol as Tomoyo giggles.
" You're the man!" Said Tomoyo as she playfully punches on Eriol chest.
" Hey, it hurts!"
" Hmm...!" Stretches Tomoyo as she stands up. " It's already 1.20 a.m.! It's really late now. Come on, let's go back to sleep." Said Tomoyo as she walks towards the hotel. " By the way,"
" Nani?" Asked Eriol.
" You're quite a nice guy when you don't call others bitch. Thanks!" She thanked and ran back to the hotel.
" Hai!" He said, looking at Tomoyo and blushing at the same time. " Same goes to you." He said to himself. " Chotto," He said as he thought for a moment. " What do you mean by only 'quite'?!"
~*~
" Ohayou, Hiiragizawa san!" Greeted Tomoyo cheerfully as she out from the toilet.
" Ah, ohayou!" He said as he enters the toilet.
" Knock, knock!" Knocked the door and Tomoyo went to open it. It was one of the students.
" Doshita no?" asked Tomoyo.
" Mizuki sensei wants you to go down to the beach within 10 minutes." Said the girl.
" What?! 10 mintues?!" Cried the roommates together.
" Yeah, and she wants all the us to go down with our roommates together." She explained.
" But, but Hiiragizawa san haven't finish brushing his teeth and we both haven't change our clothes! And I still need time tie my hair! And, look," Said Tomoyo as she shows the girl her hair. " I've got thick hair and it's hard to tie!" Said Tomoyo. " And, he's a guy and I'm a girl you can't expect me to change here and he change in the toilet! And if we were to do it one by one, we are sure to be late! Of course, we can't change together in the toilet!" Cried Tomoyo as Eriol walks out of the toilet with the toothbrush in his mouth.
" I don't care how you two are going to do it. You'll just have to go down within 10 minutes. And now, you're left with 8 minutes 56 seconds exactly. Hurry up!" Said the girl as she runs out of the room.
" What are we going to do?" Asked Tomoyo. Eriol ran to the toilet and rinse his mouth. He walks out of the toilet and pushed Tomoyo in with her clothes.
" You change in the toilet and I'll change here, since I'm a guy. Hurry up!" Said Eriol as Tomoyo nods her head and closed the door.
5 minutes later...
" Daidouji chan, are you done yet?" Asked Eriol, knocking the door. We have less then 5 minutes left!"
Tomoyo opened the door. She was facing the mirror, combing her hair. " I'm still not done with my hair!" She said with her hair band in her mouth.
" Oh great! Why not like that!" Said Eriol as he steps in the toilet. He took away her hair band from her mouth and snatched her comb from her and starts combing her hair quickly. " Done!" He said as he put the comb down. " Come on, let's go!" Said Eriol as he pulls her away.
" I haven't tie my hair!"
" You need not tie your hair up! We are not practicing the dance, I'm sure of it! You could just let your hair down!" He said as he holds Tomoyo's hand and rushed to the elevator. Tomoyo used her might and kicked the hotel room's door shut.
" Oh, come on, hurry up!" Said Eriol anxiously as he press the elevator button. He looks at his watch. They left with 1 minute 37 seconds.
" Come here!" Said Tomoyo as she pulls Eriol and starts running.
" Where are we going?" Ask Eriol.
" To the emergency staircase, dummy!" She said as she opens the emergency staircase door and they both started running down.
" Oh no, 1 minute left!" Said Eriol as the both of them run with all their might. " 30 seconds left!" He said as they reached the ground floor. " Hurry up, to the beach!"
~*~
" Eriol kun... Daidouji chan... If you are not going to reach here, you're going to be late!" Said Kaho as she looks at her watch. " 10, 9, 8, 7,..."
" Hurry up!" Cried Eriol.
" 3,2,1! Times up!" Said Kaho as the two of them reach the beach.
" Puff, puff!" Stopped Tomoyo and Eriol to catch their breath.
" We made it!" Said Eriol holding up Tomoyo's hand. " Yahoo!"
" Great!" Cried Tomoyo as she hugs Eriol.
" Lucky for the both of you." Said Kaho as she walks towards the two of them. " It looks like you two are going well!" Said Kaho as Tomoyo and Eriol free themselves from the friendly hug and blush.
" Alright, attention please!" Said Kaho as everyone paid attention to her. " All of you must be thinking why am I calling for all of you, early in the morning 7.20 a.m., right? Well, I would like to say that there we'll be an audition held later in the hall and I want every one of you to participate in the audition in order to choose the leads for the show. The audition will be held 3 hours later, which is 10.20 a.m. in the main hall. Well, that's about it! Is there any question?" Asked Kaho.
" Ano, Mizuki sensei, what are we going to act as?" Asked Hanako.
" Good question. Well, all the boys are going to act as the prince and the girls as the princess! Two at each time. No script will be given! You'll just have to act according to the story with your own words." Explained Kaho. " And I would like to proudly announce that the tittle of the act is ' Romeo and Juliet '." Said Kaho.
" Kakoi!" " Oh, I'm so excited about it!" " Yeah, me too!"
" Please, try your very best, alright? Well, you are dismissed." Said Kaho as the dancers walk away.
" I'm sure to get the role as the female lead!" Said Deborah proudly.
" Of course you would!" Said Sayaki.
" Yeah! Not only do you acts well, you sings well and dances well too!" Agreed Hanako. " Unlike some freak." Said Hanako as the group turns to look at Tomoyo and laughed.
" Hey, what's the big deal!" Cried Eriol.
" Stop it, Hiiragizawa san!" Said Tomoyo as she tries to stop Eriol from bashing up the girls.
" Excuse me! They've said something bad about you! Aren't you angry?" Asked Eriol.
" Hiiragizawa san! Why are you siding with such a freak? I thought you take her... as a bitch?" Asked Deborah.
" She was one yesterday but not today! Today, she, Daidouji Tomoyo, is my friend! And I won't allow anyone to say or do anything bad about my friends!" Cried Eriol as he tries to walk forward to Deborah and bash her up.
" Hiiragizawa san..."
" How did you do it, Miss Daidouji? Did you put some kind of charm spell under Hiiragizawa san? Why on earth would he want to side with such a useless bum like you! You can't even dance well! What shame!" Said Deborah as she laughs with her buddies.
" You... You... Bitches!" Scolded Eriol. " You'd better not let me hear you saying anything about Daidouji, dancing badly. If not, I'll make sure you pay for it!"
" Hiiragizawa san! Sorry!" Tomoyo apologized to the gang and pulls Eriol away.
" Sorry, Daidouji. I couldn't stop them from saying bad things about you." Apologized Eriol as they both walks along the beach.
" Iie, never mind! But please, don't ever do this to them, alright?"
" But they... Alright, alright. If they were to know how well you could dance and your background, I'll guarantee they'll never say anything like that about you again."
" Hiiragizawa san, arigatou!"
~*~
" He died because of me." Said Deborah as she sniffs. Her eyes were watery, full of emotion. " Until the end, I can't tell him how I feel. My true feelings."
" God, she's a great actress." Muttered Eriol as everyone in the room applause.
" Sugoi!" Cried some of the girls.
" She's really good. She'll pass without a doubt about it." Said Tomoyo unwillingly.
" You did a great job, Deborah! Keep up the good work!" Said Kaho as Deborah smiles proudly.
" Alright, next would be Daidouji Tomoyo!" Announced Kaho as Tomoyo stepped out.
As Tomoyo steps out, some of the girls looks at other directions and muttered something about Tomoyo. They wouldn't want to see Tomoyo perform as they knew in their heart she's going to do it badly.
" Alright, Eriol kun, since you are in good terms with her, would you mind acting as the prince?" Asked Kaho.
" Sure." He replied without a doubt and walks towards Tomoyo. " So, what are we going to do?" Asked Eriol.
" Alright... Hmm... Guess you two shall act the part where Juliet realized that Romeo is the son of their rival. Okay, when you are ready, you may start!"
" Who starts first?" Asked Tomoyo.
" You." Replied Eriol.
" Me? Alright." Said Tomoyo as she closes her eyes and relaxed. As she opens her eyes, Tomoyo turn around, facing Eriol with her back. " So, you're the son of our rival country." She said softly in a disappointing with a sense of sorrow.
" I'm, sorry, Princess." Replied Eriol immediately. " I didn't let you know that I'm the Prince of your rival country because I wanted to be with you. And, I didn't want to see you sad."
" If my dear father were to know that, he'll kill you." Said Tomoyo in a soft tone, almost a whisper. " Please," She said in a painful tone as she turns to look at Eriol. " Leave here and forget about me!" Cried Tomoyo as tears fall from her cheeks and ran towards Eriol and put her hands on his shoulders. " Just leave here before my father finds out about you and kill you! Leave here and forget everything you've been together with me! Forget about me!" She cried and ran away.
Eriol paused for moment. Not because he didn't know what to do next. He was stunned by Tomoyo's act. Not only Eriol. Even Kaho, Madam Shakers, the other boys, girls, Hanako, Sayama and even Deborah. It was so real, as if it's really happening between them.
" Juliet!" Eriol cried after.
" Sugoi." Muttered Deborah as Kaho claps. Then, the others followed in to applause.
" Very good, Daidouji!" Said Madam Shakers.
" Hey, you're great!" Said Eriol.
" Am I?" Asked Tomoyo innocently.
" Yeah! You were great! I didn't know you'd act so well!" Said Eriol as he playfully hit on one of her shoulders.
" Itai! Too bad I cannot dance like I act, huh?" Said Tomoyo with a fake laugh.
" Daidouji..."

" Ohayou, Hiiragizawa san!" Greeted Tomoyo cheerfully as she out from the toilet.
" Ah, ohayou!" He said as he enters the toilet.
" Knock, knock!" Knocked the door and Tomoyo went to open it. It was one of the students.

" Eriol kun... Daidouji chan... If you are not going to reach here, you're going to be late!" Said Kaho as she looks at her watch. " 10, 9, 8, 7,..."
" Hurry up!" Cried Eriol.
" 3,2,1! Times up!" Said Kaho as the two of them reach the beach.
" Puff, puff!" Stopped Tomoyo and Eriol to catch their breath.
" We made it!" Said Eriol holding up Tomoyo's hand. " Yahoo!"

" Hiiragizawa san..."
" How did you do it, Miss Daidouji? Did you put some kind of charm spell under Hiiragizawa san? Why on earth would he want to side with such a useless bum like you! You can't even dance well! What shame!" Said Deborah as she laughs with her buddies.
" You... You... Bitches!" Scolded Eriol. " You'd better not let me hear you saying anything about Daidouji, dancing badly. If not, I'll make sure you pay for it!"
" Hiiragizawa san! Sorry!" Tomoyo apologized to the gang and pulls Eriol away.
" Sorry, Daidouji. I couldn't stop them from saying bad things about you." Apologized Eriol as they both walks along the beach.
" Iie, never mind! But please, don't ever do this to them, alright?"
" But they... Alright, alright. If they were to know how well you could dance and your background, I'll guarantee they'll never say anything like that about you again."
" Hiiragizawa san, arigatou!"

" He died because of me." Said Deborah as she sniffs. Her eyes were watery, full of emotion. " Until the end, I can't tell him how I feel. My true feelings."
" God, she's a great actress." Muttered Eriol as everyone in the room applause.
" Sugoi!" Cried some of the girls.
" She's really good. She'll pass without a doubt about it." Said Tomoyo unwillingly.
" You did a great job, Deborah! Keep up the good work!" Said Kaho as Deborah smiles proudly.
" Alright, next would be Daidouji Tomoyo!" Announced Kaho as Tomoyo stepped out.
As Tomoyo steps out, some of the girls looks at other directions and muttered something about Tomoyo. They wouldn't want to see Tomoyo perform as they knew in their heart she's going to do it badly.
" Alright, Eriol kun, since you are in good terms with her, would you mind acting as the prince?" Asked Kaho.
" Sure." He replied without a doubt and walks towards Tomoyo. " So, what are we going to do?" Asked Eriol.
" Alright... Hmm... Guess you two shall act the part where Juliet realized that Romeo is the son of their rival. Okay, when you are ready, you may start!"
" Who starts first?" Asked Tomoyo.
" You." Replied Eriol.
" Me? Alright." Said Tomoyo as she closes her eyes and relaxed. As she opens her eyes, Tomoyo turn around, facing Eriol with her back. " So, you're the son of our rival country." She said softly in a disappointing with a sense of sorrow.
" I'm, sorry, Princess." Replied Eriol immediately. " I didn't let you know that I'm the Prince of your rival country because I wanted to be with you. And, I didn't want to see you sad."
" If my dear father were to know that, he'll kill you." Said Tomoyo in a soft tone, almost a whisper. " Please," She said in a painful tone as she turns to look at Eriol. " Leave here and forget about me!" Cried Tomoyo as tears fall from her cheeks and ran towards Eriol and put her hands on his shoulders. " Just leave here before my father finds out about you and kill you! Leave here and forget everything you've been together with me! Forget about me!" She cried and ran away.
Eriol paused for moment. Not because he didn't know what to do next. He was stunned by Tomoyo's act. Not only Eriol. Even Kaho, Madam Shakers, the other boys, girls, Hanako, Sayama and even Deborah. It was so real, as if it's really happening between them.
" Juliet!" Eriol cried after.
" Sugoi." Muttered Deborah as Kaho claps. Then, the others followed in to applause.
" Very good, Daidouji!" Said Madam Shakers.
" Hey, you're great!" Said Eriol.
" Am I?" Asked Tomoyo innocently.
" Yeah! You were great! I didn't know you'd act so well!" Said Eriol as he playfully hit on one of her shoulders.
" Itai! Too bad I cannot dance like I act, huh?" Said Tomoyo with a fake laugh.
" Daidouji..."
