"Oh! It's been raining like this for days! We haven't been able to have a proper practice for a whole week!"

A young teen with vibrant green eyes looked outside, rather glumly, from her seat by the classroom window.

Behind her, a young man scowled and sank in his seat a bit more.

"We haven't had soccer practice either, the gym's always taken up by the senior classes."

Both stared outside, willing the rain away when an amicable voice interrupted their reverie.

"Now, now my cute little descendants, a rain shower will do us all good, as Terada-sensei said, we can concentrate on school work and studying for examinations without getting so easily distracted."

One head turned, an evil glare on his already scowling face while the other 'cute little descendant' bowed her head, embarrassed, remembering how their professor had pointedly glanced at her as he gave the little speech to the class.

Eriol turned back to his book, glad he was able to get two birds with one stone. He continued reading when he heard a small, almost inaudible sigh from the seat in front of him. Placing his book on the desk, he leaned forward and said gently, almost like a whisper.

"Is everything alright my dear Daidouji-san? I hope the lack of sunshine hasn't made you gloomy as well."

Her shoulders shook with light laughter as she turned her petite body to face the enigmatic Londoner.

"Au contraire, 'my dear' Hiiragizawa-kun, I always love a good rain shower."

A cryptic smile placed itself on the pretty adolescent's face, as she turned her head towards the window. The young man gazed at her, his face thoughtful as if trying to decipher that smile, the puzzle that is Daidouji Tomoyo. Shaking his head ruefully, he picked up his book and began reading again.

A few seconds later, her soft voice floated to his ears and he looked up attentively.

"Hiiragizawa-kun, the rain... it's a sad thing. It's the tears of a thousand broken hearts, lost loves, mourning souls. And yet, in the end, there's still going to be sunlight. Hope. The rain is just a reminder that there's always gonna be lonely times but there's still hope to be found even if your days are lined with rain."

Her violet eyes were dark & stormy. Tomoyo gazed at him pleadingly, as though the wrong reaction would send her in sobs.

His face remained calm but inside his brain racked at what to do. To explain what was happening, why he couldn't seem to breathe, why he felt like hiding from her eyes, those eyes that seemed to be reading his very thoughts. Why her words had caused a mental breakdown in him.

By the time he had thought of something intelligent to say, she had turned back to her desk and was studiously bent over her class work.

"Daidouji-san?"

"Yes, Hiiragizawa-kun?"

Her voice was light & fluttery once more, passion gone and replaced by the gentle, understanding tone that only she was capable of.

"Nothing. I just wanted to tell you I enjoy rain showers as well."

The two smiled, both turning back to their proper tasks and never noticing the rain clouds cease to pour. From the overcast skies above, a small ray of light broke throughthe dark gray clouds.
