And remember, your one kind review, can save a life. (nodding while saying it in a gracious way…)
Tomoyo just couldn't believe it. Life actually COULD get worse?
How was this possible? How could life be so unforgivingly torturing? Anger slowly rising, Tomoyo glared at the real estate sign, covered with the hateful word, 'SOLD' stuck on top of it.
Before she could get anymore enraged, glancing over at Eriol's house, Tomoyo jumped over the fence and landed in her fairy garden.
"Argh!"
She physically punched herself for stepping in that garden, and stepped out. Opening the door with her key, Tomoyo went into the house, and straight into her room.
It was when she safely got into the room and threw herself on her bed, that she got the end of her temper.
"Muuuuuum!!!!!!"
She howled, and kicked into the air. Several windows outside lit up.
"MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!!!!! You FOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!"
When she was fatigued and absolutely worn out, as well as becoming aware of the neighbourhoods' dogs barking, she refreshed her mind with some water, and picked up her phone, in a very controversial mood.
"MUM!"
Tomoyo shrieked into her phone, and this time, she could hear some cats mewing.
"Calm down, Tom. What's wrong?"
Tomoyo's eyes reddened in anger. Now Sonomi's calling her TOM??
"What's wrong? EVERYTHING! Mum! Why the hell did you go and sell our house? And why are you calling me Tom?"
"My house, to be exact."
Sonomi added, but that didn't help.
"Your house or mine! WHY DID YOU SELL IT!! Where am I supposed to live?" Breath. "Is this part of my punishment, coz if it is, I'm-"
"No, it isn't. I won a trip over the world and thought I'd accept it. I'm sorry I wasn't there to see you after school on your second day, but I thought-"
"You THOUGHT!"
Tomoyo scoffed, but Sonomi ignored it.
"I thought I might as well sell the house, seeing as I won't need it anymore while I travel over the world for the next 9 months. And recently, a buyer has been calling to see if I wanted to sell it. And so I did!"
Sonomi finished, her voice sounding proud and happy. But Tomoyo was about to faint.
"But mum! What about ME?!!"
"You?"
Sonomi's clueless voice struck Tomoyo's head like a sledgehammer. Tomoyo meant so much in Sonomi's life that Sonomi didn't even care whether Tomoyo was left out in this big matter?
"Of course! You! Tom Daidouji!"
"Tomoyo!"
Tomoyo cried indignantly, but Sonomi ignored her and talked over her raged voice.
"Well, seeing as your school's takes in boarders, I thought-"
"NO!!!!"
Tomoyo screeched, and really felt Yelan just wasn't the mother Tomoyo had thought she was.
Tomoyo had to admit, she was evil, and mean, and cruel, but honestly, they couldn't do this to her!
"Mum, you honestly cannot do this to me! Think of all the other cruel and mean things you could do to me! But please! Not this!!!"
Sonomi tried to suppress a laugh. She didn't know Tomoyo hated boys this much! It made Sonomi sincerely worried about whether Tomoyo would even bear a grandchild for her.
"I'm sorry, Tomoyo. But I can't just leave the house like that. You've already lost my trust along with my credit card. Your bags have been packed, and they're in the second lounge upstairs. I thought you'd go up there when you come back. Now honestly, I need to get on the plane now. I'll ring you in Rome, sweet."
"Ha! You will certainly NOT ring me in Rome, and don't you sweet me!!"
Tomoyo shrieked, but the satisfaction of speaking boorishly of her mother was fleeting.
In the middle of the night, or what it seemed like so, the phone rang. Tomoyo stared at the phone with such hatred and annoyance in her eyes that it seemed to be able to alight with fire.
Finally, she picked up the phone.
"You've got the wrong number."
Before the other person could say anything, she hung up. But even before she could lie back smugly, the phone rang again.
"You got the wrong-"
"B****! I have NOT got the wrong number! Shut up and listen coz I want the house empty by midnight. Got that?"
The sharp female voice sounded very much familiar, but Tomoyo ignored the familiarity and did not fall back on this attack.
"Who're you calling B****, you B****! And I'm not moving out, so there!"
She slammed the phone down, and closed her eyes. Honestly, why doesn't the world leave her alone?
A few minutes passed in silence as she lay there, not moving and not thinking about anything.
About an hour or so passed, and Tomoyo fell asleep when suddenly, the bell rang downstairs.
Tomoyo chose to ignore it, as it was almost nearing midnight, when she heard shouts outside.
"Get out of my house now, or else I'm calling the police!"
"Ha, call the police, that's what I'll do if you keep disturbing my sleep!"
But the girl obviously didn't, and couldn't hear Tomoyo's mumble.
"Yuki! Come and blast the door! The woman said it will be empty, but some dolly's in there and she won't open the door."
Yuki?
Tomoyo bolted up, and sat erect on her bed, listening cautiously. But she didn't hear another word, just bangs on the front gate.
"Alright! I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Tomoyo shouted, and quickly pulled on a blue striped shirt and trousers before going outside her room. Her thoughts were very briefly diverted from Yukito and Meiling to the baggy trousers she had just pulled on, and she wondered how boys could wear these sorts of pants that don't even stick to your legs.
"Yes? Is there something you want?"
Tomoyo asked with a partly sealed tone of annoyance within her voice. The gate was already broken down. The couple were standing in front of the door, with Meiling kissing Yukito on his cheek just as Tomoyo opened the door.
"Oh look. It wasn't just some dolly. It's that puerile stripling from the club a few hours ago."
Tomoyo stood there gazing at Meiling with hatred glowing in her sleepy eyes as Meiling derisively spoke from the bottom of her heart. Meiling looked up and down at the leggy figure leaning against the door in front of her, and smiled amusedly.
"He looks like a girl. Yuki darling, could you please go get my suitcases? I'm awfully tired after the long hours in the car. Thank you sweet!"
She called with immense affection in her voice as Yukito turned back, and he gave a faint smile Tomoyo would still die for. Meiling turned around, and faced Tomoyo with a foxy look on her face.
"Get out before I blow your secret, Tomoyo Daidouji."
She whispered in Tomoyo's ear, and pushed past her as she stood still in the doorway, dazed.
"And by the way, I'd look in the mirror if I were you. You don't look right to be a boy."
It was then that Tomoyo realised abruptly, that she had no bindings around her breast.
"Oh god…"
"The shirt buttons were mostly undone, so I'm sure no one but me noticed."
Meiling spoke nonchalantly, and Tomoyo looked down before closing her eyes in despair.
'Great,' She thought. 'Perhaps no one but her noticed. Yeah, like no one would think I'm a girl even though I've forgot my binds and have only two buttons done up.'
"I'd pack your bags. Honestly, Yuki looks at no one but me, so you have no need to worry."
Meiling's words were those of superciliousness that Tomoyo could not bear listening to anymore.
She glared at Meiling's back as the tall ladylike figure walked up to a painting on the wall and looked at it. Tomoyo kept her eyes burning with rage until Meiling turned, and looked straight back at her.
"The papers have all been signed, and the movers are coming in an hour. Get out."
"Argh!! I hate you I hate you I hate you!!!"
Tomoyo screamed, running out onto the streets. Why was god doing this to his poor little daughter? She had just run out of the house, completely enervated by Meiling and her little comments here and there.
"I hate you!!! I hate the world! I hate Sonomi Daidouji!! I hate Meiling and…"
Her voice faltered. She could not possibly hate Yukito. No matter what. He was just so cool and so cruel to be hated.
"I HATE YOU!!!"
She cried, mentally and emotionally very disturbed, she had to say so herself. She laughed, cried, screamed, and as exhaustion swelled over, she got up, and walked back to her house...
…to go get her suitcases.
"Hey you! What the hell are you doing outside?"
A school guard shouted, sighting a student sitting on a suitcase in front of the school gates as he patrolled the area. He went closer, and saw a figure unfamiliar with him.
"Who are you?"
He asked suspiciously, and the head turned slowly, to reveal violet eyes that were blank with tiredness.
"I'm a new boarder… I just got kicked out of the house… I have to stay here…"
Tomoyo wanted to tell him everything, from the part where she had to disguise as a boy to the reason she was so tired and drowsy now. She was chased by Yukito for the last half-hour before she gave up and told him she was only trying to get her suitcases, and after binding her breast well out of sight, and doing her buttons up, she had carried 11 of these heavy suitcases here to the school, only to find it closed.
But only hearing the very least of it, the guard seemed to have little sympathy for Tomoyo, and he shook his head.
"Sorry, you're too late. The school dorm buildings are closed at 9 pm sharp. You'll have to come tomorrow morning."
"But-"
"No buts."
He cut her off completely, and Tomoyo, as tired as she was, buried her head between her knees and mumbled,
"Then I'm staying here for the rest of the night…"
But the guard was merciless.
"You have to go. You can't stay here, it's against the school rules for a boarding student to be roaming the streets after the dorms have been locked. It's your fault for being late! Now shoo! Off with you!"
But Tomoyo had no energy to move. She sat there, not responding to the guard's words. Just then, she caught a familiar scent that made her insides sick. Trying to figure out in her stupor what it could be, she looked up and fell backwards as her eyes closed, into someone's arms.
"I'll take him home, Mr Maru."
An amused voice tinkled in Tomoyo's ears like a lullaby, as strong arms pulled her off the suitcase and onto someone's comfy, warm back, where Tomoyo snuggled against in her sleep.
"Could you keep the suitcases here? I don't think I can carry all of them home."
Eriol said, grinning at the guard. The guard grinned back at him. To everyone in the world, it seemed, Eriol was a good, kind-hearted boy.
"Sure thing, Eriol. Make sure he comes back tomorrow for these, though."
"Yes sir. Good-night."
"Good-night."
Tomoyo heard quiet, but firm footsteps as she felt herself being rocked up and down slowly. She indistinctly recognized her position as on someone's back, and the cool water scent from the smell of his hair was that of the shampoo that Jay always used. She heard the sound of the front door opening, followed by sounds of the lights being switched on…
"Hm…"
She moaned, and clung tightly onto his neck. She could never be happier. Jay was back, and he brought her back home.
"I'm so happy…"
She half mumble, half whispered languidly into his ear.
"But please… refrain strangling me..."
A choked voice replied, and Tomoyo felt wide awake as she recognized the voice was not that of Jay's, but those of…
"Hirrigizawa?"
No reply came. Instead, just a nod and another strangled sound came from him. Eyes open wide, Tomoyo quickly released her tight grip on his throat.
"I'm so sorry!"
She cried, and Eriol put her down lightly onto the couch before turning around with a gentle smile on his face.
"Wide awake now, are we?"
"Yeah, I guess I was dozing off…"
Tomoyo mumbled an answer as her eyes swept the floor and stayed there. But suddenly, her head snapped up.
"Hey, why am I here? Why were you carrying me? Why the hell was I on your back?"
Tomoyo glared, but in fear of him questioning herself, she quickly shut herself up.
"Never mind. Never mind… Hey, have you got a drink around the house? I'm thirsty…"
Eriol looked down at her, amused. How could he act so comfortably when he just arrived? But he pushed the question out of his mind as Tom Daidouji now demanded some drinks.
"I don't drink beer!"
Tomoyo shouted as Eriol walked out into the kitchen.
Early next morning, Tomoyo woke up with a splitting headache.
"Ow… What the hell happened…"
She mumbled sleepily as she stretched out in her bed, first the feet, and then the arms…
…And froze as her bare skin touched something.
Tomoyo frowned. Did she ever keep toys in her bed? But she didn't care. She couldn't care less. Tomoyo lay there, unthinking, until something moved beside her. It breathed. It sighed. It turned to the other side.
Suddenly, Tomoyo's eyes widened as everything from the night before rushed into her head.
"Oh my god…"
She muttered quietly, and carefully lifted the duvet that covered her. Breathing in heavily, she put it down and closed her eyes, cursing the world. Then she carefully turned around to find someone's bare back towards her, and looked away. She had to get out of here. At least this bed! Whatever she'd done last night, whatever they'd done last night, Tomoyo couldn't remember… and hoped Eriol wouldn't either.
Dodgy, that was… wasn't it?
