A Gift

Chapter One

Disclaimer : I will never ever own Cardcaptor Sakura. Never.

Summary : Tomoyo Daidouji had dreams. A dream to date, possibly be with her favorite actor, Eriol Hiiragizawa for as long as she wanted. The only problem is he doesn't have the fame and all the wealth, he's simply an ordinary teenager when he's together with Tomoyo. How will Tomoyo react? Will she be selfish and keep him for as long as she desired or will she have to face reality and give his life back?

( You may be confused with the summary, but as you read along, hopefully, you'll understand ne? )

A/N : It's simply an Eriol and Tomoyo fic. I was rummaging through my old school binders for my friends' phone numbers and I came across a paper with hiragana and drawings and I suddenly found a summary and it's kept me interested. So here it is! Enjoy!

Tomoyo Daidouji was known for her massive obsession on the dreamy 17-year old actor, Eriol Hiiragizawa.Her constant babbling about this Eriol Hiiragizawa has kept most males away.

Like any other obsessed teenager, she'd hang posters of him on the wall, buy all his movies and watch them as well. Her mother didn't care as much, she was always busy, out of the house majority of the time. However, Tomoyo's best friend Sakura would be there for her, somewhat like a replacement, a substitute for her mother.

Tomoyo Daidouji had time to date and was admired by most guys her age, but she never seemed to care. She mostly seemed concerned about her best friend, relatives and...Eriol Hiiragizawa.

" You know, Sakura chan, his favorite.. "

" Aa! " The auburn-haired girl, supposedly Sakura, raised her hand to pause her best friend from reaching too far on Eriol.

" Tomoyo chan, I know you like Eriol, so do I, but you've been talking about him since you arrived here. "

" There's nothing wrong with that is there? " Tomoyo had tried reasoning with her.

" FOR TEN WHOLE HOURS! "

Tomoyo had ignored what Sakura had last said so she continued.

" I like his movie.. Wait..I love his movie, the one we saw last week, but there was that girl. " Tomoyo narrowed her eyes in disgust.

" TOMOYO CHAN!! WE HAVE CLASS IN ONE HOUR!! "

" Ooo talking about class or school, whatever. " Tomoyo rolled her eyes and continued " I've heard he's been home-schooled. "

Sakura grabbed a pink throw pillow and covered her head, attempting to block out Tomoyo's voice.

" I need sleep.. " Sakura said wearily. " Sleeeeep. " Sakura murmured still with the pillow over her head.

" Yeah, maybe you do, you look miserable Sakura chan. "

" Maybe, it's because.. "

" Anyways, Eriol should be up, like an hour ago, he has to do a photo shoot. " Tomoyo's frequent Eriol talks continued.

" Kaijuu!! Get up!! You'll be late for school!! " A deep voice was heard from down stairs.

" Okay.. " Sakura managed to mumble unaware that her brother, Touya hadn't heard.

" Hey, Sakura. Are you listening? We have school. Sakura? "

" I'm up. " Sakura groaned as she looked at her obsessed best friend humming to herself. Sakura then smiled, smiled, because Tomoyo had stopped talking and her singing voice, songs and humming had always calmed her.

" Daidouji san? Daidouji san? " A high pitched voice was calling. The teacher, Tomoyo's teacher stood in front of Tomoyo's desk and tapped it lightly with her fingertips.

" Aw, shut up, you hag, can't you see I'm talking with Eriol? " Tomoyo murmured through her sleep. Her eyes shut tightly. Her raven hair covering her face as her head lay on the surface of her desk. All eyes were laid on Tomoyo as she mumbled Eriol over and over. Her insult embarrassed her Home Economics teacher and made all her classmates laugh.

" Tomoyo chan! Tomoyo chan! " Sakura whispered hoping Tomoyo would wake from her dream. ' Who would've thought Tomoyo would sleep in class? I thought I was lacking sleep. ' Sakura scratched the back of her head in confusion.

" Don't bother Kinomoto san. " The teacher reasoned as she walked over to the chalk board and took a hold of the yard stick. Sakura shut her mouth and eyed her best friend.

WHACK!! The teacher smacked the edge of Tomoyo's desk with the large ruler. Tomoyo surprisingly, sat straight, and opened her eyes revealing her amethyst ones. She raised her head to the glaring teacher.

" Mmm..Yes? " She questioned her, unaware that she slept in class.

" Office. Now. " The teacher tried to contain herself.

" Thanks. " Tomoyo immediately walked out of the class and finally reached the main office after some short distance.

She opened the door and there revealed her mother. She wasn't as happy and optimistic. Heck! She never seemed that way, considering she's always busy with business.

" Yeah? What is it? " Tomoyo began the conversation.

" We need to go to the hospital. "

" What? What for? " Tomoyo's eyes had widened while her mother grabbed her wrist and dragged her daughter through the school and to the parking lot.

" Grandma? " Tomoyo murmured through the other side of the door. " May I come in? "

" Of course dear. " A soft voice answered.

" How are you? Are you okay?Why are you here? " Tomoyo was now concerned about her grandmother.

" Never mind that dear. I have something very important to tell you. "

" Yes? "

" You're eighteenth birthday is coming soon isn't it? "

" Grandma, its in a month. " Tomoyo let out a small giggle.

" I'm afraid I can't make it. I'm so sorry. " Her grandmother reached out to Tomoyo and put a hand on her cheek.

" N..No. Don't say that. You'll make it. I know it. " Tomoyo smiled through tears.

" H..Here. " Tomoyo's grandmother pulled out a lavender envelope with her name printed in neat writing.

" What's this? "

" It's my gift to you, on your eighteenth birthday. I know you'll be a responsible, beautiful young lady. Because of my weakness, this gift will not be as perfect. It's magic you know. "

" Grandma..magic isn't real. "

" Oh, yes dear, it is. Make sure you open it on your birthday, I'll be watching you. I wish you a happy, magical birthday. I love you Tomoyo. " With that the heart beat monitor was now a flat line. [A/N : I really don't know what to call those.]

" I love you too. " She kissed her grandmother's forehead and left with the lavender envelope in one hand.
