I'm back! I'm a bit tipsy when I was working on this one so please bear with me in terms of typos and the like.
Upon the request of Captain Canija I decided to include this part of the story but I will be posting one of this days or perhaps next vacation the side story. In the film, the characters names are in fact the American names of the CCS characters so you will notice that their Japanese and American names will be altering as they are filming.
Here it goes, please do make my day and review
Disclaimer: I own no Eriol or Tomoyo or any CCS character, just the plot. End of story. Periodâ oh and beware of OOC-ness.
"Come on, Layla. Just finish this bowl, it would be bad for your health and the baby's if you don't eat," Tomoyo said as she shoved a small bowl of porridge closer to Kaho's side of the table, her face full of concern and worry.
It was the first part of the film and the whole set was by the dining area where she as Madison is trying to urge her elder sister, Layla played by Kaho to eat upon hearing the news of an upcoming war by the north where her husband is currently stationed as a field researcher.
"I want to see Eli," Kaho said simply, her face expressionless. Tomoyo sighed and looked at Touya portraying the house's butler for any advice. Touya on the other hand can give no answer but a sigh as well.
"Perhaps my lady does not like this for breakfast, should I make your favorite consommé?" Touya said in attempt to persuade the lady to eat pouring milk in Kaho's empty glass, Tomoyo looked hopeful over the attempt and looked at Kaho in glee. Her smile though faded when she saw Kaho shook her head and said, "I want Eli,"
"I had enough of this!" Tomoyo exclaimed steam rising on the top of her head as she slammed her fists by the table so hard that her own bowl of porridge went flying in midair with some of its contents landing on Kaho's face.
Touya and Tomoyo's eyes went big by the scenario and laughter erupted all over the room.
"CUT!" they heard Yamazaki exclaim, a mixture of anger and laughter evident in his voice.

Chapter 15 – More Torture

"That does it! I had enough of this!" Tomoyo exclaimed leaving the dining hall and rushing to the long staircase up to her room. Surprised by Tomoyo's reaction Touya ran after Tomoyo leaving the expressionless Kaho alone.
Touya found Tomoyo stuffing every dress she could find in her cabinet in a huge duffle bag.
"What are you doing my lady?" he asked confused.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm leaving Tori," Tomoyo said as she throws into her bag a number of combs and other things in her bureau.
"But my lady, what about Lady Layla?" Touya asked surprised by her actions.
"She wants Eli? FINE! I'll get Eli and drag him back to London even if it's the last thing I'll do! I'm going to Durham!" Tomoyo declared voice full of determination. As she slams her cabinet shut.

"So this is where that nerd leaves," Tomoyo said to her self as she struggles to carry her suitcases, her floral hat askew. It was almost dusk and she was a couple of meters away from the wrought iron gates of the manor where her brother-in-law is staying when the wind blew sending her hat away and off to the branch of a tall tree,
"Oh my! Great!... Just great!" she lamented to herself as she walks inside the gates and to the tree still struggling with her suitcases.
"Now how do I get that?" she muttered looking up to where her hat has landed and to her well-made dress and newly bought mules. The hat was her favorite, so without further adieu she removed her mules and climbed the tree.
It was quite a struggle considering the fact that she was wearing a dress but after a number of attempts and a run on her stockings she managed to make it to the branch. Excited about her progress, she did not notice the nearing breakage of the branch due to her weight and she fell.
"AHHHHH!!" she screamed shutting her eyes fearing her landing. She can already imagine it, a broken arm, a broken neck, a scarred faceâ it is going to be a terrible fall.
The next thing she knows, her right leg hit something and books were flying in different directions and for some strange reason her fall wasn't that hard – no broken arm, no broken neck, no scarred face. Much to her surprise she was lying in top of a man's chest!
"What the-,"she heard someone mutter. Getting up she came face to face with a dark haired man with dark blue eyes and broken wire frame glasses. She was in a state of shock and could barely move a muscle stunned by the man who did nothing but stare at her stupidly and said, "An angel?"
For minutes they were staring at each other until Tomoyo snapped back to her senses spank the lad hard and got up.
She was to get up but failed as she sprained her right ankle.
"Are you alright?" Eriol asked assisting her.
"Get your hands of me!" Tomoyo exclaimed shoving Eriol away as she helps herself by the railing,
"Madison?" Eriol said recognizing the lass.
"The one and onlyâ well don't just stand there, go get me something for my sprain!" Tomoyo barked as her leg ached and she struggled to seat by the toppled wicker chair Eriol was originally seating at, like a jack in a box Eriol bolted inside the room and returned seconds later with a first aid kit.
"Careful will you?" Tomoyo snapped as Eriol tended her leg minutes later.
"So what brings you here?" Eriol asked as he applied an antiseptic to a scar in Tomoyo's leg.
"I'm here to fetch you home," Tomoyo stated bluntly surprising Eriol and causing him to spill the antiseptic.
"Layla is worried about you, she hasn't been eating much in days, I'm worried about the baby," Tomoyo explained not minding Eriol who is wiping the floor with shaking hands.
Minutes of yet another deafening silence enveloped them and out of impatience Tomoyo started to tap her foot.
"Well?" she asked growing impatient every second.
"I can't go," Eriol declared as he picked up the scattered books in the floor and placing them neatly in a chair.
"What?! Don't you care about my sister and your baby?" Tomoyo exclaimed for the umpteenth time that day not believing what she's hearing.
"Eli, this is my sister we're talking about. She's worried sick about you, you got to go home!" Tomoyo reasoned steam coming out of her head.
"Of course I care about Layla and the baby, but I have a job, and this job is for her and the baby, I can't just leave"Eriol said as he stack one book to another.
"You do understand that, don't you Madison?" he said looking at the dark haired lass with intent eyes.
"Fine. If that's the case then I'll stay here until you're finish with that contract of yours." Tomoyo declared dragging Eriol outside the veranda by the sleeve.
"Where are you taking me?" Eriol asked struggling to catch up with the young lady's pace unbelieving that she just got a sprain.
"Outside to get my things. You can't expect a lady to carry that entire luggage do you?" Tomoyo said grinning.
Eriol on the other hand cannot do the same fearing the wrath of the hard headed lass.
This is but the first part of the story, I'll post the next part, perhaps by next week or the week afterwards as I still have my exams and stuff.
For the meantime here is Tomoyo for the chapter preview.
Tomoyo: Everyone's impossible! Eriol is acting funny and Yamazaki and the others are enjoying it. They all act like they're hiding something from meâ o, and what kissing scene? –runs all over the set and screams- Shaoran just what did you and Yuki-niichan did with the script???
Next on Project Engagement: Messed up
I'll get Yuki-niichan for this!
Read and review! Adieu!
