Author's Notes: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. And I'm the one who composed the song alone.
"Eriol don't", she said as she groaned. "I don't want to hear that".
"But Tomoyo I still love you!" Why won't you believe me? Look in my eyes and tell me if I'm a liar!" Eriol said. She did look in his eyes and she knows she sees the truth. "I'll wait for you...even forever and even I'll be in heaven. Coz' I'll prove to you that I'm loyal...and of course I want you to be my girl". She was silent for a while. She knows she still loves him. But the problem is she can't say it. "May I have the permission to kiss you?" she stiffened.
"Nanda yo?" she said, confusingly. He leaned a little more closer.
"So that you'll feel how it feels just like when I kiss Kaho", he replied. She was about to say something when he immediately captured her lips. She closed her eyes. She feels so good to be kissed and be held by him. If only she could tell him right now that she TRULY loves him. But she's afraid that her cold heart will easily break. Maybe she'll tell him someday. He then breaks the distance of their lips.
"Why did you stop?" he smirked. So she was liking it.
"So you we're liking it". She blushed faintly then looked away.
"Nobody kissed me the way that you do", Tomoyo replied. "But I admit you're my first kiss and I was liking it". Eriol lift her chin as her eyes looked at his.
"If only we're a couple I'll kiss you longer. Demo we're not. So I don't want you to think I'm stealing it", Eriol said.
"You already did", she corrected. He chuckled then pulled her closer.
"I don't want you to get sick so better go now".
"Okay. Thanks".
"Do you still have that aching headache?" he asked. She left his arms then replied.
"Iie. I'm already fine. Sayonara", Eriol was shocked to see that she smiled. He smiled back.
"Sayonara". Then she went in to her house. But for her it was a NICE night ever!
"Class your graduation will be the day after tomorrow!" Terada said. The class cheered. He raised his hand and the cheers died down. "I can't believe after ten years my dearest students will graduate. Good luck!" again they applauded. "May I call on Tomoyo to play her song in front? And Eriol". The two stood up as Terada put one chair at the center. Tomoyo sat down bringing her guitar. "Tomoyo just play the chords. Don't sing the lyrics. It's a surprise". She nodded on what her teacher said. As she was about to play the guitar her hands were shaking. She's thinking about how many people will watch tomorrow. Wait! Is it the people or Eriol beside her? Eriol look at Terada and he just nods his head. Eriol went behind her as he guided her hands.
"Tomoyo-san your used to this so don't be afraid. Slowly strum the guitar and just imagine you're practicing alone and no one is looking at you", Eriol whispered. Alone. She never wanted to be alone again. At the far end Tomoyo took a glance at Sakura and Syaoran. They we're smirking hard. Tomoyo looked at Eriol and he looked back at her. The class we're howling and teasing. They looked away...a tint of red creeping at her cheeks.
'Couldn't believe this two look cute when they're together', Terada thought as he chuckled. Tomoyo shook the thoughts away. Confident as always she started to play the song.
Dismissal and practice of graduation is over. And Eriol is even waiting for Tomoyo to finished practicing. Tomoyo accepted already the fact that Eriol will ALWAYS be there. They finally walked home together. "Prepared for tomorrow?"
"Yeah I'm excited", Tomoyo replied with a true smile.
"You're smiling. Did you ate something?" Eriol asked. She shook her head. "Then how come-"
"I'm just happy", Tomoyo interrupted, holding his hand. He was shocked on what she did. She was always cold to him. Whenever he talks to her she'll just ignore him, shrugged his words off. But now she's holding his hand. He wanted to question why but he didn't bother. He holds her hand a little tighter.
"Good luck for tomorrow. At least you'll graduate", was all he can say. She nods her head in reply.
Sakura and Syaoran visited Eriol at his house that day. He really wondered why. "Okay Eriol serious talk. Tell me honestly and truthfully if you love Tomoyo", Sakura said.
"Of course Sakura I do! HONEST!" Eriol replied.
"Then the only way to know my cousins feelings towards you is to play a game for her", she added.
"Nani?"
"It's like this...tell Tomoyo tomorrow that you'll be leaving for England. Just wait in the garden at the airport if she'll come coz' we'll call you if she's going to go there", Syaoran said.
"I don't want to hurt her", the blue-haired boy said.
"You're not hurting her Eriol-kun. Maybe our plan is bad but we want to know and you want to know if she loves you", the card mistress said.
"It's okay my dear Sakura and dearest descendant. I can wait even if it is FOREVER. You know what that means?" Eriol told them. "But okay I'll say yes to the plan". Sakura and Syaoran we're happy to hear that answer from him. But Eriol thought...is this the right plan? Is it true he'll never hurt her?
Graduation day at last as the fourth year students wear their graduation clothes. As their name we're being called they we're proud to stand up and get their diplomas. Eriol watched Tomoyo as she received her diploma. Their eyes even met and she just smiled...and blushed. She'll never deny the feeling that she still loves him. "Before everybody goes coz' you have received your diplomas. May I call on Tomoyo Daidouji for her intermission?" Tomoyo had bought her guitar and sat on the chair at the middle of the stage.
"This song is not a goodbye song. Because Terada-sensei told me to sing any song. This song is composed by me. I want to sing this song because it's a sad one. And I've been alone after all this time so I hope I won't be alone now". Tomoyo strum her guitar as her intro. Then start singing her sad song.
Sitting by the fire I'm all alone
Just looking at the time slowly passing by
Couldn't believe you're not here
I never knew life could be so boring without you in my life
The time had passed but my love grows
Why is it I couldn't forget you?
I'm suffering please help me
Of all the things why did I lose you?
Don't you know that?
You're precious to me
I don't know what to do
Since the day you've been gone
I'm all alone in this quiet place
I've got only one problem and it is you
How can I move on?
I'm not yet cured.
Repeat
"Happy graduation people and see you if we can", Tomoyo said after singing her song. She went down as Eriol went to her. He took her hand and bought it to his lips as he kissed it. She blushed. "Eriol-kun".
"I think I won't see you for some years", Eriol began. She was shocked. "I'm leaving for today for England at 1:00p.m.".
"NANI?" she exclaimed. But people don't care as the seniors excitedly went out of the auditorium to celebrate somewhere. "E-Eriol-kun why?"
"If you'll go to the airport at 1:00p.m.I'll tell you the reason", he left and she almost cried. But she doesn't want to cry at her graduation.
'I have to go. I need to know the reason', Tomoyo thought as she immediately went home.
Fifteen minutes and Eriol's plane will leave. Tomoyo had dressed up and ate a little. 'This is the worst graduation ever! I was planning to tell him my feelings', Tomoyo thought as she had rode her car and go to the airport. 'If he will leave then I have to tell him'. She had arrived at the airport and scans the area. She had to see him fast. Someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see Sakura and Syaoran. "Have you seen Eriol?"
"He says he wants to see you in the garden first", Sakura replied.
"Thanks", Tomoyo said as she hurriedly went to the garden.
"Tomoyo loves Eriol", Syaoran began as they watched Tomoyo out of sight. "Sakura call Eriol".
"Sure", Sakura replied, getting her pink phone.
"Eriol!" Tomoyo shouted. She had arrived at last and Eriol was smiling at her. She had immediately hugged him. "Please don't leave", she whispered. He had put her arms around her waist.
"Tomoyo I won't leave actually. It was all a plan", Eriol said. He heard a gasped. He hugged her a little tighter. "It was Sakura and Syaoran's idea. To know if you really love me. If you're really going to go to the airport. I told them that I'll hurt your feelings and just wait for you. But I gave it a try. I know this is stupid but I'm sorry". Tomoyo pulled away from him and looked in his eyes.
"You don't have to wait forever coz' I still love you Eriol!" she said. "After you left I had composed the song Alone. But now you're here I don't feel alone anymore". Eriol bend a little closer. He couldn't believe she still love loves him. On why did he left in the first place.
"Don't worry Tomoyo. I'll never leave you. And you'll never be alone...forever". He sealed his promise with a kiss.
