Selfish

Chapter: 6
The next day Eriol had began his vacation and was on the plane to Japan. I must say I am really pumped about seeing my friends maybe even seeing Tomoyo, I still thought about her everyday the past six years, wondering how she was doing stuff like that. I never thought I would be in Japan again. The flight took about 10, 11 hours before I finally fell asleep.
Eriol heard the P. A. speaker say something and It was in Japanese, it felt really weird to hear Japanese again, it was kinda foggy since he had been around English speakers. Eriol unbuckled himself and picked up his bags. Eriol's heart was beating like a drum, forgetting that he was still tired he was to excited to feel tired. Eriol walked out the door and looked around trying to find his friends, not that he wouldn't notice them.
"Eriol!" Someone yelled and came running. It was Suzy running over to Eriol. Eriol dropped his bags and ran over to her. Suzy jumped on Eriol with her legs rapping around him.
"Eriol, My God." She said tightly hugging Eriol. Suzy let go of Eriol and they looked at each other. "You look different," Suzy said tuck Eriol's semi long hair behind his ear. "Your hair's not green, it's dark purple," Eriol said. Ryo and Veil came running up to Eriol and gave Eriol a big hug. "Dude, I thought you were goin' be short," Veil said letting go of Eriol.
Eriol laughed. "I had a growth spurt during anatomy classes," Eriol said. Ryo hugged Eriol tightly. "I missed you man," He said. Eriol picked up his bags and they stopped at Suzy, Veil, and Ryo's apartment. Eriol dropped his bags there and they went to dinner at bar they had a drink and dinning bar since not to many people wanted to go to two different places to get something to drink and eat.
"So, now that your a doctor do you know more about girls?" Ryo asked slyly. Eriol nearly choked on his water. "Man, don't you have a girlfriend? and besides you should know everything by now." Eriol said. Suzy and Veil were sharing food. Eriol watched and looked at Ryo.
"Hey guys, were going over to the bar for a moment okay," Eriol said. Ryo and Eriol got up and walked over to the bar. Eriol and Ryo didn't order anything they just sat and talked. "Hey, Eriol I've been meaning to ask have you heard from, Tomoyo?" Ryo said. Eriol looked down at the bar counter and sighed.
"No, I don't think I want too," I answered still kinda freaked I sent her that note six years ago, it didn't feel that long, I twenty-two and I'm still in love with a girl I've known since high school, I'm such an ass.
Ryo didn't say anything and looked at Eriol. "In other news, Hot designer and fashion model Tomoyo Daidoji has just signed a two million dollar contract to KISSES inc., another hot fashion company," Said the news reporter putting on that fake cheesy smile. Eriol looked up and gasped hearing Tomoyo's name. "Hey! turn that up," Eriol said to the bartender.
"Miss Daidoji well be opening her new fashion line in less then two weeks?" Then it went to a clip of Tomoyo and her pervious fashion line and logo's. "Thank you, my new fashion line: Sochira, well have new shoe style and a make up line that'll be in stores soon," Tomoyo said to the press and then it went back to the news reporter. "Thank you for watching, have a nice evening," Said the news reported.
Eriol turned pale. "SHE A MODEL AND A DESIGNER!" Eriol yelled at Ryo standing up. Ryo nodded. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" Eriol yelled again.
Everyone in the bar was looking at Eriol. Eriol looked around the room and sat down. "After Tomoyo came back from that cruise she applied to a collage for design and that stuff, I haven't seen her since, she in the girl magazines," Ryo sneered at the word 'Girl magazines'. Eriol sighed and hit the counter. After they eat Eriol decided to go for a walk on the beach.
Not much has changed since I was last here, the smell of the sea was new to me since I've been in the city a lot during my studies. I looked around and then saw the tree that Tomoyo and I hide the huge shell in.
I walked over there and used my magic's to bring it up it was still there, I smiled and then I thought of Tomoyo when I saw her on the news. She looked so different from what I remembered it had this cold feeling to her, as if she where lost or something.
A small breeze touched my skin and my hair making me feel freed. I looked at the black sea and sighed. What'll happen when everything I thought has fell apart. What if everything it nothing to me. I thought. I think was kinda weird. During my study I felt something missing, not Tomoyo, not Japan or my family, I was my magic, it felt like it was leaving me slowly and after it left I would die, I've been having that same nightmare and thought every waking moment of my life.
I didn't want to forgot the sound of the sea singing the beautiful song or anything around me, even my friends and family.
I walked to a super market and brought so chocolate bars, that stuff always made me hyper but it help when I felt like crap. After that I headed back to the my friends apartment that was about 12 blocks away. I was so tired from all the thinking I did and then a limo went by that had in bright red word KISSES inc. and that a deep red kiss on it. Eriol signed and disappeared from the street and was in the air fly really fast to the apartment.
The next day Eriol and his friends went to the revamp track club, it was no more a busted up ware house it had light and parking lots and everything. I still had the ware house except it was bigger and fixed up. Eriol looked at the guitar and sighed. "Man, I can't remember the last time I touched one of these," He said. Veil laughed. "So how was anatomy class?" Veil asked. Eriol looked at him dully.
"I'm not answering that, but I can tell you that you'll have nightmare after it," Eriol simply said. Suzy picked up the guitar and handed it to Eriol. He looked at it for a moment and took it. Eriol felt like he was sixteen again.
"Mmm," He said rapping the band around his shoulders feeling the guitars smooth wood finish. Eriol put his finger on the string and began to play a soft tone that had a dreamy like melody to it. Eriol played the tone like he wasn't going anywhere for a long time. Everyone was quiet listening to the guitar play slowly. Eriol moved his finger skillfully making ever tone full with his lust to music. Eriol stopped the string for a moment and played the bridge of the song slowly skipping each note slowly.
And with that Eriol stopped playing and everyone appalled, Eriol blushed and bowed politely. "Dude, that was deep," Veil said clapping also. "At least I know I can still play," Eriol said handing the guitar back to Suzy. Eriol ordered ice cold water and drank it down getting brain freeze. Eriol turned and saw Tomoyo talking to a guy in a really jazzed up business suit and a cigar in the side of his mouth.
Tomoyo looked serious. Eriol looked at his glass and blushed not noticing and sank his body in. "Eriol, you okay your blushing," Ryo said slyly. "You looking at some girl?" Veil said elbowing Eriol in the arm, Suzy just rolled her eyes. Eriol made a groaning noise and looked at Veil. Veil turned his head and saw Tomoyo.
"Oh," He said turning his head. "After six year you still like her," Ryo said looking over to Tomoyo who was into a conversation to notice them. "Yeah, so. I can't help it, I wish is was different. I feel like such a kid" Eriol said sitting up.
The bartender was listening to there conversation. "You know her?" The bartender asked whipping a glass. Eriol looked up and sighed. "We were friends, but I wanted more then that, and you tell anyone that I know how to find you," Eriol said coldly. The bartender put up his hands and walked to a customer at the end of a bar.
"I thought you already was over her, I was excepting a nurse at the hospital you work at." Suzy said. Eriol looked over at Suzy and made a face. "You mean there aren't any girls there," Veil said.
Eriol began to get annoyed. "Yes, there are woman there 1/3 of them are married," Eriol said nearly shouting. Eriol sighed and got up. "I'll be back, I need some air," Eriol said walking away from the bar.
When Eriol left and went outside, he made sure no one was following him. Eriol was heading to that secret spot that he grandfather showed him when he was ten. Eriol stopped and looked around. It was like time stood still there and everything was the same, the light splash that touch your face the smell and all the trees and grass and the quiet water fall.
Eriol began to think about his Grandfather, He still missed him but he knew worry about that would not let him fly free so he tried not think about it. Eriol heard footsteps and someone talking on the phone. Eriol got up really fast and jumped into a tree.
"I wanted light green for the thread and light yellow for the pants color, don't get it twisted again," Yelled a female voice coming closer. Eriol jumped a little higher and looked down. Eriol tucked his semi long navy blue hair behind his ear and looked down with the leaves covering his face, with his glasses hanging at his nose making him push them up.
"Damn it" The woman stomped and knelt down. Eriol looked closer and sighed it was Tomoyo. Eriol looked down and walked cat like on the branch, trying to get a better look.
Tomoyo began crying for about two-second and then her cell phone rang, she dried her eye and answered it. "Hello?" She said in an annoyed voice, like she didn't want to be bugged at the time.
Eriol but his chest on the branch and listened. "Ichi, I thought I told you to leave me along, I could have you arrested," She said, Eriol heart leaped at that name. "Just because I went out with you last night that doesn't mean I'm going to do it again, I have a photo shoot tonight," She said. Eriol got up and went lower. "I know, I said that, I have a life," She said hanging up. Eriol moved up and looked down.
Tomoyo closed her eyes and swayed at the sound of the crashing water. Eriol extended his hand taking some of the water falls and magically circling it around Tomoyo. Tomoyo opened her eyes and smiled and spun around "I knew this place was magical," Tomoyo said. Eriol put the water back when he saw someone coming. Tomoyo ran to the parking lot at was to the left.
Eriol jumped off the tree and watched her run away.
About two hours later Eriol and the others went to the mall. Eriol was still thinking about Tomoyo she was forgiving Ichi, how could she? He broke her, he made her feel like dirt. Then Suzy stopped at the clothing store and the guys followed. "Wow," She said looked at a pair of pants that had a neon look.
Eriol sighed. "Suzy, this is the tenth clothe store we went to, I need to get some music," Eriol complained. Ryo and Veil seemed to be looking at something outside the store. Eriol looked at them and sighed. "I'll be back," Eriol said to Suzy who was to busy to listen to what Eriol said before leaving.
Eriol walked over Ryo and Veil who were kinda pale. Eriol turned his head and looked at the Victoria secretes shop with women in thongs and underwear and no bras, and then at the picture with Tomoyo with wings on and lace underwear on with no bras, and a sigh over the poster of her in red word: TOMOYO'S COMING TO VIKKY FOR SOMETHING NEW FOR YOU. Eriol gasped and fainted. "Eriol," Ryo and Veil said picking up Eriol. Suzy came running out with three bags from the store she was in.
"What happened?" Suzy asked as she watched Ryo and Veil fan Eriol, he was really hot.
Suzy turned her head and smiled. "Well, that would make you faint, I guess, Tomoyo's has a sexy hoy body. Thank God she's putting to good use" She said with a sly smile on her face. Eriol groaned as Ryo lifted him in an up right position. "Eriol, Dude you just fainted, in a friggin' mall. This must be a sigh that your going own it," Veil said laughing.
Eriol began mumble something and inhaling and exhaling deeply.
"It she mad!" Eriol shouted.
Suzy folded her arms and nodded. "She must be, but she had the body for it," She said. Eriol sighed and walked over to Suzy. "I'm pretty sure you would do it," He said.
Suzy smiled. "Veil, can you help me pick out a bra?" Suzy asked. Veil stood up and smiled. "Yes," He said in a squeaky voice. Suzy looked at him funny and sighed. "I was joking," She said annoyed at Veil's reaction.
Veil had a disappointed look of his face and sat back down, Eriol and Ryo looked at each other like Veil was going mad to think that way about Suzy. "Whatever, C'mon I'm starving," Ryo said walked away. Eriol growled and followed.
Eriol and eating Chinese food and writing down something in a small book. "What are you doing?" Ryo asked with his mouth full with fries. "I writing a book," Eriol answered as he stopped writing. "About what?" Suzy asked. Eriol put down his pin and leaned in the table. "I'm writing a book on Male and Female dirty humor, I'm pretty sure horny teens would pick it up since this is all around dirty humor" Eriol said dully.
Veil laughed. "Your kidding?" He said. Eriol looked over at Veil. "Yes, woman usually right that crap, but I think it would be cool to get a guys point of view, so your goin' have to tell me all your dirty jokes, so I can write them as quotes." Eriol said before taking a sip of his wild berry smoothie with marshmallow.
They all looked at and simply said "Deep,"
Then suddenly a mob of screaming people came running. Eriol went back to him writing not hearing the screaming crowd. Then there were reports and camera lights flashing. They all began yelled, 'Miss Daidoji,' over and over asking question and taking pictures. Eriol was too rapped up in his book to hear anything that was going on.
Suzy stood up. "Tomoyo!" Suzy yelled. Tomoyo turned and waved at her and walked over. "Hey, Suzy" She said walking over and hugged each other. "It's been a while," She said. "Yeah, well with you and your fashion it seen like a long time," Suzy said smiled.
Eriol didn't notice that Tomoyo was next to Suzy talking. Eriol put his hand on the table and made his smoothie move to his opened hand. Tomoyo said hey to Veil and Ryo. Then Eriol stood up. "I'll be-" Eriol stopped and looked at Tomoyo. "Eriol?" She said.
I could feel my blood go cold, I could I not scene her, she was right next to me. Suzy smiled looked down and moved. "Yeah that Eriol, looks different don't he?" Suzy said. Tomoyo nodded blankly with a small smile. I stepped back and turned around and walked away without a word. I could feel Tomoyo's eyes on me as I walked fast the food court and down on the ground floor to the parking lot where the car was.
Eriol pushed the open button on the door and get in and turned on the music up really loud.
Eriol put his hands on the wheel and sighed and hit head on the wheel. Eriol winced at little at the throbbing pain and turned his head then turned down the music.
It was like a nightmare to me, I didn't except to see her that soon, I swear I felt my whole body go cold.
Why? Why couldn't it have been Veil or Ryo, to fall deep in love with the great Tomoyo Daidoji? Maybe this is punishment from God because of my wild teen years. Eriol hit his head again on the wheel and sighed and took his little book out and began writing. It was about nine.
Suzy and the others were walking to the car with a bunch of shopping bags. Eriol was laying a cross the sit in the back writing. Ryo opened the door and smiled. "Hey," He said. Eriol lifted and sweat ran down his cheek.
"Oooh, it's a steam room in this here car," Veil said getting the passenger seat. Suzy opened the window starting the car. Eriol sighed and sat near the window not saying anything.
Three days later Eriol stayed in his room, door locked andtT.V on. Every so often he would come out for chocolate or coffee, or even a little food.
Suzy sighed as she was all snuggled up to Veil watching old black and white movie while Ryo was out.
"You think he's okay? He's been like this for days," Suzy said looking at the door. Veil kissed Suzy on the cheek. "He's fine, I think he just going something, It'll pass." He said changing the channel.
Suzy looked up at Veil and kissed him on the lips really fast. "When are we going to them?" Suzy asked. Veil sighed. "I don't know, I feel like I'm in a Buffy episode," He said smiling down at Suzy.
Suzy smiled and got up and suddenly Eriol opened the door with sticky notes covering his arms. "What happened to you?" Veil asked walking over to Eriol.
Eriol looked at them and picked up a black phone with sticker all over it with game logo's and heavy metal rock band names on it. Eriol looked still at Veil and Suzy and dialed a number.
"Kit, I just finished the book, I'll send it over to you today, it should be at my house at night.........yes........good, thanks........I will........bye," Eriol slammed down the phone and took off the sticky notes and threw them in the trash.
"I'm going out, I need some air," Eriol said smiling at them. And walked out the house. Suzy and Veil looked at each other and ran into the kitchen.
Eriol walked down the street with a small package in his hand with the address to his house in London.
Eriol had finally finished his book that he was writing. And turned to the small post office that was on the conner and was second in line. When I person left the store, Eriol slammed down box and gave all the information making everyone jumped. And left three minutes later.
Eriol walked back to the apartment and got the car Ryo drives only on Friday to go to the club, Eriol want speed, after driving like an old lady in London. Eriol looked up at the sky and it started to rain.
"Well, I can skid down the street now," He said as he started the car and turned up the music, It was playing Linkin Park, Breaking a habit. Eriol stepped on the gas and speeded down the road.
