This chapter is dedicated to amethyst sweet angel who had the good sense to see what my often warped brain finds but this time was working at even lower percentage then normal. Thank you amethyst sweet angel for showing me a most excellent way to put in a most excellent scene. I hope you enjoy it.

I would also like to say something, it's quite interesting to read the reviews. Many of you lovely readers make refrences to various parts of the story, for example, when Syaoran screams at Eriol. I find it quite humorous because then I (who has conveniently forgotten about that little scene earlier) start wondering if I accidently posted the wrong chapter because of future events that I know about and you don't. If that made no sense whatsoever, just tuck it into the back of your mind and keep an eye out for Syaoran screaming at Eriol….:)

Chapter 13: Enjoy Your Weekend Too!—Eriol

All the halls were aflutter with the gossip of a new student. But not just any new student, if one trusted the rumors. All the whispers said she was a rebel who didn't believe in the uniform or organized education. Don't even get started on her opinions of religion…just don't go there. And then they whispered about her own intelligence which was best described as off the charts.

The stories intrigued me and I walked down the halls intent on finding her. My hunt led me through the abnormally crowded halls, past fearful teachers, and students speaking oddly enough in English. I found her in the cafeteria where flocks of men, mere boys really, surrounded her. For it most certainly was a her.

First I saw her long, luxurious, pale legs clad in a pair of shinny hooker boots. A tight, black, leather mini skirt and skimpy, lacy top left very little to the imagination and absolutely nothing to mine. Springy, smoky curls wound their way around her pointer finger as she yawned looking positively radiant.

But this was no new student, just a girl everyone had seen but never bothered to actually look at, or in other words, Tomoyo.

She grinned sassily and stood up from her lunch room throne. Walking in a manner reminiscent of the Caged Bird, Tomoyo had me hypnotized by the sway of her hips and curls. Her hand fell warm and smooth on my unsuspecting cheek, as warm and soft as her lips and tongue as she kissed me senseless. And then—

"Eriol," Kaho's voice broke through the mists of my dream. "I understand that you have already covered this material, but please don't sleep through class."

Syaoran slapped the back of my head. "Yea, numskull, stay awake." The whole class burst out laughing and I thanked whatever gods remained out there that I hadn't said anything while asleep. "There's some drool on your face." They laughed even louder.

Oh no…did they suspect?

Only the grace of the school bell saved me from further embarrassment and ushered me into the next class of torture, English. With Tomoyo. So often her face crossed my mind and that teasing smile of hers would throw knots in my stomach. For the last few weeks I had lived with an almost constant stomach ache. But I couldn't love Tomoyo, not when Kaho needed me so much.

I just had to put the little vixen out of my mind and keep my thoughts focused on Kaho. After all, Kaho was my soul mate. Didn't getting her pregnant prove that?

"Okay class, it's time to present your projects!" The English teacher clapped her hands together. "You don't we have Hiiragizawa and Daidouji go first?"

Tomoyo stood up quickly and I noticed something didn't look quite right in her eyes. But like a true businesswoman's daughter, she squared her shoulders and began her report. "We are presenting William Shakespeare's Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. It tells the tale of two ill fated lovers…" She rambled on giving some background information and such.

I didn't pay much attention, her hair kept distracting me. For some reason she decided to curl it and pull it into a ponytail. And I wanted to pull it all down again so it resembled the hair from my dream. Where did that come from?

She paused and I took the opportunity to distract myself from her and get back on topic. "We have each selected a set of lines with substantial importance to the play to demonstrate for you." I cleared my throat and began the recitation. "'But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? / It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.' Romeo has just seen his love Juliet standing at a window and he sees her as the light of his life. She is his 'sun'." I glanced at Tomoyo, but she didn't appear to be paying any attention to me. "'Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon,/ Who is already sick and pale with grief/ That thou, her maid, art far more fair then she…' Earlier in the play, Romeo fantasized of the fair Rosaline, whom he fancied himself in love with. But just as the moon pales when compared to the sun, Rosaline cannot compete with Juliet."

Now Tomoyo looked at me with a very strange glint in her eye that I found very disconcerting. But what could I do in the middle of a presentation?

"'The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars/ As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven/ would through the airy region stream so bright/ That birds would sing and think it were not night.' Romeo loved Juliet so much that he honestly believed Juliet was the most beautiful creature to ever grace the earth, past, present, and future. After just one meeting, he completely forgot his love of Rosaline and was consumed with thoughts of fair Juliet." That sounded just a little too familiar.

Stepping forward Tomoyo pursed her lips and then went into her own passage. "'From forth the fatal loins of these two foes / A pair of star crossed lovers take their life, / Whose misadventured piteous overthrows / Doth with their death bury their parents strife… /O, I am fortune's fool!.../Then I defy you stars.' It is written in the heavens that Romeo and Juliet, the children of two rival families shall die from their love. Fate has dictated their lives ending with strife. Romeo understands this and calls himself 'fortune's fool' but he also declares that he will resist what fate has laid before him. Unfortunately he plays right into her hand and fate receives her ending when they die just moments after each other." She looked at me, her eyes full of passion, that same passion that only I could ever see spilled forth into the classroom. "It is a play where one major theme is fate, you can't fight her and she has it out for you in the end. Don't be too pleased by having your fortunes written in the stars. It only means fate likes you just a little too much."

Tomoyo grabbed me at the end of class. "We need to talk." She said completely serious and I nodded. But we walked a little farther in silence before she said anything. "How're things going at the house?"

What did that have to do with anything? "It's fine. Spinal absolutely refused to cook last night, so Nakaru made a run for the kitchen. Unfortunately for her I constructed a barrier and she ran smack dab into it. The hit knocked her out for a couple of hours and Kaho claimed the smell made her nauseous, so I cooked. It was a night I don't care to repeat."

She scuffed her foot along the ground. "Speaking of Kaho, there's something I need to tell you." She said softly and I figured it had something to do with lunch today.

"If you're talking about that freshman, Kaho and I already discussed it. The whole situation was just a very large misunderstanding by both of them. She didn't realize she was flirting, and he—"

"That's that it Eriol! I—I talked to her at lunch today and--and she lied to you!"

"What? No, she and I talked and—"

"No Eriol," She stopped me, hand on my arm. "I mean she lied about the baby. She's not pregnant."

Her eyes were cold, but not frozen like mine. "You're wrong Tomoyo. She has morning sickness; she can't stand certain smells; she wants bloody red meat all the time!" I yelled, not loudly or forcefully, but I yelled. "Kaho is most definitely pregnant!"

She clenched her teeth and squared her shoulders; businesswoman Tomoyo made an encore. "Fine Eriol, I hope your happy with Kaho and your little baby!" she yelled and charged away. "Stupid bastard!"

Did Tomoyo just curse? "Enjoy your weekend too!"

Well, another chapter completed andTomoyo has shared her opinion of certain (cough evil cough) characters. Of course, Eriol remains blissfully stupid ofsaid character's tendency to misrepresent the truth. Prehaps with afew reviews he may gain a brain and learn justwho is telling the truth.Then again he is a guy...review and find out....
