As soon as Eriol had heard the starting word he dove in, quickly and swiftly. On about the second lap, Eriol was way ahead. But as he swam he also thought.

'I have to admit it, I do want to taste Tomoyo's lips against mine, I do want to feel her skin. But I can't defy her wishes for my own desires, it wouldn't be right.'

And with that thought, he swam faster. Far behind him, was Hiroke.

'I can't believe that damn fool is beating me!' he thought angrily. And with one final stroke Eriol had won the race. Hiroke stopped swimming and slapped the water in anger.

Tomoyo smiled at Eriol and an adranilane rush swept over her. She ran over to Eriol giving him a huge hug.

"Thank you! Thank you so much Eriol!" she cried, pressing all her weight against him.

"T-Tomoyo! We're about to. . ." He couldn't finish, Tomoyo had pushed themselves into the water.

When her hands were finally able to feel the porciline tile underneath her fingertips, Tomoyo opened her eyes. She saw Eriol smile softly at her, his eyes kind and forgiving. Tomoyo grinned back, then pushed off from the floor and swam upward.

"You two are lucky this is the twelve foot side of the pool." She heard Sakura's voice say as Tomoyo reached the top.

Eriol's head popped up next to her, "Yeah, but my back would still hurt all the same," he said, rubbing his back.

Tomoyo looked over, "Eriol! Your back, it's so red!" she exclaimed, brushing her hand over his skin.

"Well I did slam into the water with you on top of me," he complained.

Tomoyo pouted in disbelief, "Well fine then," she said. Then she pressed Eriol down into the water.

While struggling to hold Eriol down Tomoyo said, "See? That's why I think he's so evil," she said. Everyone above her nodded in agreement.

Her grasp failed her and Eriol came up again, gasping for breath, "I heard that," he said. All of a sudden, it was she that was underwater. A playful annoyance came about her and she pulled Eriol down with her.

Splashing was seen from above, and everyone sweatdropped. "Don't you think they would've run out of breath by now?" Chiharu asked.

Sakura shrugged as she watched as a large wave of water come up and splashed Syaoran in the face, "Good lung capicity?" she said turning to the brunette.

After a while Tomoyo and Eriol finally came up, gasping for air.

"Well you guys have been horsing around for way too long," Syaoran said offering Eriol a hand.

"Yeah, lets get you out of the water," Sakura said, extending a hand for Tomoyo.

Grabbing them Tomoyo and Eriol looked at each other, then grinned evily. They looked back up at the unsuspecting prey.

"Oh, I think we still have some time left," Eriol said. Then he and Tomoyo pulled them in.

Yamazaki and Chiharu were just sitting in the lawn chair in their sunglasses staring lazily up at the sun.

"That's why I didn't offer to help them," Yamazaki sighed.

"You think that Sakura and Syaoran would've learned by now," Chiharu added as sounds of screaming, laughing, and splashes came from the pool.

Hiroke stood above the water, watching the four friends splash each other. "I can't believe I lost to that skinny freak!" he cried.

When night had fallen and stars sparkled playfully in the skies everyone but Tomoyo and Eriol had gone back to their rooms.

"Today was fun, wasn't it?" Tomoyo, turning to Eriol. He nodded in agreement.

A soft sea breeze washed over them causing some of the already dry hairs on Tomoyo to ruffle about her.

"Aren't you cold?" Eriol asked.

Tomoyo smiled and shook her head, "No, I love the wind. It makes you feel free and energetic."

"I also love the water," she said, bringing her legs close to her chest, "I love the cool liqued that washes over your face I feel so refreshed."

Eriol stared at her with interest as she continued, "And fire. That warm flame that flickers about you making shadows dance upon your face."

"You know, it seems as if you just love everything in the world, and you embrace it with reluctance," Eriol said.

The relections of the pool frolicked against Tomoyo's pale skin. "So obeservant aren't we?" she said grinning slightly.

"I'm not the only one. Weren't you the one that claimed that I looked at Sakura with soft eyes, and at Kaho with even softer?" he questioned.

"That was fact," she said.

"And what I said wasn't?"

"No, there are many things I dislike as well Eriol, Hiroke among them."

"Oh, what are they?"

Tomoyo didn't respond. After a moment's silence Eriol spoke again, "Why have you grown to love the elements so much?"

"I've seen Sakura release them so many times, I've learned their personalities and how they truly reflect the real element."

"Tomoyo?"

"Yeah."

"Do you still have feelings for her?"

Tomoyo gave a half hearted laugh, "I think you already know the answer to that."

"You know it isn't the same as hearing it from the person."

"I've grown to learn that, even if she doesn't love me the way I did her, she will still love me."

"But not the way you want her to."

"It really isn't all that important anyway."

"Sorry for bringing it up," he apologized, standing up.

As he was about to walk away se grabbed his ankle, "Please don't go," she said still staring down at the blue water, "Could you stay?"

Sitting back down was his answer.

"You know Eriol, I've been meaning to ask you," she said still staring at the water.

"Hmm?"

"What ever happened between you and Mizuki-sensei?"

Eriol sighed, "That Tomoyo, I know you know."

"But like you said, it's better hearing it from the person."

"She left me, left me with a broken heart and her old apartment. It turns out she doesn't want to hurt me, and because of our age difference she felt it was inapropriate. But don't get her wrong, she really did love me, and that love grew into a love that a mother would feel for a son. Not a lover's love."

Tomoyo looked up at Eriol, but didn't meet his face, now he was the one looking back down at the water.

"She thought that if our relationship continued, I would get hurt sooner or later. And she said she couldn't bear it if that had happened, so she left." Eriol felt tears brimming his eyes, but didn't want to ruin his appearence to the raven haired girl beside him so he kept them in.

He soon felt himself being hugged, "It's okay," she said softly, "You can cry, I wouldn't mind. Eriol, just take your mask off."

"No one is around to see you, and I know the pain you're feeling must be unbearable. So don't care what I think just let your feelings out," Tomoyo whispered, gripping him tighter.

And then, unexpectedly a tear fell, and then another, and another. Tomoyo felt the salty droplets fall onto her arm and she smiled.

"Thank you Eriol, thank you for showing me the true you." Pulling his head out of her embrace, amethyst met sapphire, then lips, met lips.

Tomoyo could still feel tears drop onto her shoulder as she was laid down on the concrete, his lips still against hers. But somehow, she knew he was happy nonetheless. Unsure of what to do at first, but her arms soon linked their way around his back pulling him in closer.

Eriol felt Tomoyo's lips press back against his. He didn't know when his love for Kaho ended and where Tomoyo started, but he knew, that this was for the best. He felt Tomoyo's fingers slide up from his back to rake her slender fingers through his hair. Her touch was like heaven on earth

Wanting more, Eriol laid soft kisses in a trail from her mouth down to her collar bone, he heard her moan in ecstacy. And that's when he noticed, he had stopped crying.

A few moments later, they had stopped and Eriol's head was on Tomoyo's bare stomach. (A/N: No they're not naked you pervets.) His eyes were closed and Tomoyo could've sworn he was sleeping. Her index was playing with a strand of his blue hair as she stared up into the black chasm of space.

Had she actually fallen for this blue-haired magician? That's when it hit her, she had fallen and she had fallen hard. And she just wasn't comfortable with that.

A/N: Okay as you can see I had to change the rating for that one particular scene, maybe there are more to come. And yes I know this chapter was pretty boring, I'm sorry. But like I said up there, when and if you review tell me what you really think. Like if it was boring, or interesting, or badly written. Just speak the truth *please*!
