" Eriol Hiiragizawa. " Syaoran had repeated once more for her understanding.
Tomoyo shook her head in disbelief.
" I guess this is what I get for doing this. " Tomoyo whispered to herself, but didn't realize Syaoran had heard it.
" He did it as well. "
There was tension between the two.
" I know I can't blame him for what he's done, because I've done it too. " Tomoyo broke into a smile.
" No one is to blame in this situation. " She continued.
Syaoran remained listening.
" What do I do? "
" Sakura. " Syaoran had simply said.
" Yeah. Sakura. This is a mistake. " Tomoyo shook her head and frowned.
She began digging in her sack for clothes and stood there in front of Syaoran motionless.
" Yes? "
" I'd like to change. " Tomoyo replied dryly.
" Oh. " Syaoran blushed and immediately waited at the other end of Sakura's door.
Tomoyo began dressing quickly and when that was done, she roughly pushed the door slamming Syaoran, pinning him against the wall.
" I'll be back!! " She yelled after some distance.
" I'm going to straighten things out with Sakura! Stay here! "
" What!? You're going to leave me here?! "
Tomoyo had stopped in her tracks.
" Geez.. " She groaned. " I said I'll be back!! YOU..will lead me to Eriol. "
At that Tomoyo ran.
" Where to? Where to? " She cried in panic.
" I'm going to get run over pretty soon if I keep doing this!! "
She stumbled onto a little penguin holding a wooden sign, ' Penguin Park '
" Alright!! " She screamed in joy holding a fist in the air.
" To the Park it is. "
Tomoyo ran to the park and she immediately stopped as she arrived at her destination. She began to call out Sakura's name. After a few more calls, she groaned in frustration and decided to ask people if anyone has seen her.
Tomoyo had remembered she had a picture of Sakura in her purse.
" Just ask. " Tomoyo had said to herself.
Right then, the wind blew roughly as Tomoyo had just taken out the picture of Sakura.
" Great. " She mumbled and ran after the picture.
The wind blew quick enough to reach a certain someone. Someone Tomoyo will be surprised to meet.
Tomoyo had paused when the picture had fell in to the hands of a certain sapphire-eyed man.
[A/N : Seem somewhat familiar from a certain chapter? If you know, then thats great. I mean really great!! ]
She looked at him in shock for she already knew that he was not Syaoran Li.
Not a stranger to the pretended Sakura Kinomoto, but a stranger to Tomoyo Daidouji.
" I remember you. "
" Maybe... " Tomoyo averted her eyes to the ground.
This was an unusual conversation towards Tomoyo.
" Does this belong to you? " Eriol stared at the picture that was held in his hands.
" A friend? maybe? " He asked her another.
She nodded in response.
" What's her name? "
" M..maybe..y..you should ask her yourself. " Tomoyo struggled to say.
" Where is she? "
" I'm searching for her. "
" Searching? Is she lost? "
" She's not lost. I'm simply worried about her. "
" May.. "
" She's my best friend, you know.. " Tomoyo had interrupted.
" I'll help you find her, Sakura. "
" I'm not Sakura. "
" What? "
" I'm not her!! " Her attemption on trying to run had failed. Eriol had already grabbed her wrist.
" Who? Who are you not? "
Tomoyo paused and her eyes followed someone...
" Sakura!! " She cried out.
Eriol looked directly at where Tomoyo had yelled. His eyes widened. This girl was the person in the picture.
Sakura...
Eriol then turned his attention to the woman who stood in front of him.
" But who is she? " He whispered to his self.
His conscience began speaking. ' Who is she? '
' Who is she?
' Who is she? '
Those three words repeated over and over.
" Will you stop?!! " Eriol caught the attention of most who had surrounded him except Tomoyo who was desperately calling..
" Sakura!! " Sakura had fled as she realized that her best friend was calling her.
As Sakura ran, her eyes began to water and her vision became a blur.
" Maybe she needs my help. " Sakura had changed her mind and turned her head to the direction of Tomoyo.
" Tomoyo!! " She cried out. Maybe Tomoyo would call out to her again.
As Sakura came to a near distance towards Tomoyo, she saw someone she has never seen before.
Surely, if Tomoyo knew this guy, she would tell her about him.
" It's possible that this guy may be abusing her in some sort of way...kidnapping as well? "
" Tomoyo!! I'm coming!! " Sakura dashed towards Tomoyo and the stranger and threw a punch right on his cheek.
" Serves you right!! " Sakura spat.
" Sa..Sakura.. What are you doing? "
" Saving you, of course! "
" But I don't need help. "
" Oh yes you do. Who the heck is this guy? " Sakura pointed at the sapphire-eyed man who rubbed his cheek continuously. Tomoyo turned her attention to...him. She sighed inaudibly.
" Er.. " She began. " This is.. "
" This is... " Sakura repeated. " Hurry up, Tomoyo chan!! I hear the ice cream truck passing by."
" At this hour? It's late. "
" Well its 24/7, my dear. "
Tomoyo had to laugh at Sakura's childish acts. Anyways, it lightened up the mood.
Tomoyo's POV
I stared at Sakura as she began skipping after the ice cream truck.
It's too cute to miss even at my age.
It's time I face reality. There he stood in front of me. His name. Eriol Hiiragizawa not Syaoran Li.
How do I know how he will react, when I tell him. It's about time.
" I know who you are. "
" Well so do I. Obviously not Sakura ne? "
I nodded, " No, I'm not Sakura and I suppose you are not Syaoran Li as well. "
He smirked. " Now you know. "
He doesn't seem disappointed. " What's wrong with you?! " Coldness was heard in my voice.
" Nothing. You did it. I did it. There shouldn't be anyone to blame here ...er.. "
" Tomoyo. " Geez..this guy doesn't even know my name. How rude!
" Tomoyo..I like your name. "
" So. Do. I. " I responded in a-matter-of-fact tone.
Ooooooooo!!! I just wanted to scream!! In fact. I did.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
I could feel people glaring at me through my shut eyelids.
I opened my eyes..oops..eh heh.. I guess I was wrong.
" Tomoyo? "
" What? " I glared at Eriol
End of Tomoyo's POV/ With Syaoran
" Ow. " Syaoran groaned as he rubbed his lower back.
" Must..follow..Tomoyo. " He commanded his self.
Each step Syaoran took down the stairs of Sakura's house had been painful. He instantly smiled with joy when he reached the exit. He opened the door confronting a woman with red hair who seemed much older than he was.
She seemed familiar..
" Hi. I hope I'm not bothering you..but.. " She fiddled with something in her hand.
" But? " Syaoran spoke up.
" Have you seen this person? " She handed Syaoran a picture.
" But..miss..I don't even live.. " He gasped in shock when he took a look at the picture.
" It seems as if you know him. " Her tone changed to a cheery one. Seems her hopes have been brought up.
Syaoran was too shocked to reply..Was this the woman he told him about years ago?
Sure, he wasn't the best of friends with him, but he was close enough.
" What does she want? " These words escaped unexpectedly from his mouth.
" I'm back with a promise. "
" A promise? "
She nodded. " A promise to marry Eriol Hiiragizawa. "To be continued...
A/N : Confused?..It's longer than I've expected.. laughs evily A new twist. You probably might be wondering why Kaho is there, but like I've said.. I have much ideas.. stored somewhere that have just erupted.
