Chapter Four
:--------------------------------:
Tomoyo woke up the next morning to an empty bed. She felt tears stinging her eyes but quickly wiped them away. She couldn't cry…no she wouldn't. She quickly stood up and changed into her work clothes. Although she was frustrated, she knew she had to go to work or risk losing her job. Rage soared inside of her, how did Sakura always manage to ruin everything?
Little innocent Sakura, she had it all. Even while she was in a coma she had it all. Swiftly walking out of the elevator she walked straight to her desk not stopping to say hello to Naoko. Tomoyo started staring furiously at the phone, she should call him, ask him where he is. "You know staring at the phone all day doesn't count as doing your job," Naoko said softly.
Tomoyo looked up, "Yanagisawa-san." Naoko shook her off, "What's on your mind this time Daidouji?" Tomoyo sighed, "I-I-I just can't handle this anymore!" Everyone in the office stared at her because of her sudden outburst causing her to blush in embarrassment. "Go back to work!" Naoko screamed out and everyone quickly went back to his or her papers.
"That friend in the hospital again?" Naoko asked as she took a seat beside Tomoyo. Tomoyo nodded, "Yeah…who else?" Naoko looked at her, "Daidouji, I know we aren't that close or anything, but if this is going to affect your work…" "It won't affect my work Yanagisawa-san," Tomoyo said swiftly. Naoko just nodded, "You know, what happened with the apartment finding?" Tomoyo shook her head, "He doesn't want to move."
"Than move without him," Naoko stated plainly. "Nani?" Tomoyo asked in disbelief. "Never mind, are you free tonight?" Naoko asked fixing her glasses. Tomoyo took one last look at the phone before nodding, "Yeah." Naoko smiled, "Than you're gong to come with me to party tonight!" Tomoyo looked at her, "Party?"
:--------------------------------:
Chiharu stood in the background as she watched Syaoran work furiously, "Geeze, what's up his ass?" Rika peeked from behind, "I don't know…he seems unhappy." Chiharu nodded, "And I didn't even get to tease him today." "Senpai, what do you think is wrong?" Chiharu shrugged, "Probably having problems with his girl."
Rika looked at Syaoran sadly, "I don't like it when he's unhappy." Chiharu snorted, "Don't worry about it Rika! Come on we better start working before he squeals on us!" Rika nodded her head and followed Chiharu.
The owner of the shop came out walking slowly to Syaoran, "Are you sure you want to work these extra shifts?" Syaoran turned and wiped the sweat from his face, "Hai!" The owner smiled grimly, "That's good, now I don't have to worry about hiring someone. But what about that girl the other day?" Syaoran sighed, "We're taking a break." The owner nodded in understanding, "I have a preposition for you."
Syaoran looked at him questionably, "What is it?" "Let's go someplace more private," the owner said leading him towards one of the back rooms. Rika had heard their entire conversation and quickly ran towards Chiharu. "Senpai! Something big is going to happen. Yoshiyuki-sama, just brought Syaoran-san in the back room!" she said referring to their boss. Chiharu frowned, "Let's go follow them!"
:--------------------------------:
For the whole day Tomoyo continued to stare at her phone. She wanted him to call, anything to tell her where they stood. Exasperated she decided she might as well forget about him tonight and just have fun with her boss. As it reached closing time Naoko approached her, "Ready to have some fun?" Tomoyo nodded unsurely. Naoko laughed, "No need to be afraid, you know sometimes you just have to take risks."
Tomoyo nodded noticing something gleaming on her hand. "That ring…" Tomoyo said pointing towards it. Naoko held her hand up, "I'm married," she answered plain and simple. In truth Tomoyo didn't know that, she doubted that anyone from work knew. Naoko wasn't one to talk about herself, and she never seemed to have any callers wanting to talk to her about personal problems.
They both left the office heading out to a nearby bar.
:--------------------------------:
Syaoran sat tensely in front of his boss. Terada cleared his throat, "As I was saying earlier I have a preposition for you." Syaoran nodded, "Hai!" Terada stood up, "I handed your application form to the head boss." Syaoran raised a brow, "The head boss?" Terada nodded, "To the owner of the buildings around here and many other places. He liked you." Syaoran looked at the man in front of him confused, "What do you mean?"
Terada smiled, "He said, he would love you to be a manager for one of his own companies." Syaoran was shocked beyond belief, "B-b-but…" Terada chuckled, "I felt you were being wasted away here, except there is one problem." Syaoran looked up, "What is it?" Terada looked downwards, "You don't have to answer me now. He said he's willing to give you a weeks time, but…he wants you to work someone out of Tomoeda."
Meanwhile Chiharu and Rika gasped in shock. Syaoran was leaving. Tears stung Rika's eyes, "I don't want Syao-san to leave!" Chiharu punched her friend, "Shut up! I'm trying to listen to the conversation." Rika continued sniffing, "B-b-b-but!" Chiharu sighed, "I don't want him to leave either all right. But I mean with him gone everything would be more peaceful…but who would I tease than?"
Back with Syaoran and Terada, Syaoran sat there shocked at the news. Terada chuckled, "Don't worry about it, just give me the answer in a weeks time." Syaoran nodded. It was going to be a difficult decision he knew that for a fact. They both stepped up to leave, tonight was going to be a long night because Syaoran decided he didn't want to go home. No instead he was going to stay here, as long as he didn't see Sakura Tomoyo couldn't get mad.
:--------------------------------:
Tomoyo and Naoko started drinking sake to their hearts content. Soon after they parted their ways. Tomoyo sluggishly walked down the streets as all the flashy lights shined in her eyes. She smiled softly, the lights were so beautiful tonight. Beautiful, something she hadn't felt for a long time. She touched her short hair, was this beautiful? She almost stumbled when a pair or large arms caught her.
"Hey, aren't you Daidouji-senpai?" the man asked. Tomoyo looked up seeing a blurry figure. The man beside the first one nodded, "Yeah…I remember I used to always see you at the pool." Tomoyo quickly turned away and puked out the contents in her mouth. The pool, these people must have been on the swim team. The first man looked at her again with a large smirk, "You want to go someplace? To talk about swimming. We admired you so much Daidouji-san. Why did you stop?" Tomoyo just nodded her head to his invitation.
They led her to a busy street filled with motels everywhere. "Hmm, which one?" the first man pondered. The friend beside him laughed, "Well, I'm out Hino." The man Hino nodded, "Okay I'll tell you how it is later." "As if there will be a later!" a sudden voice boomed. Before Hino knew it a large fist made impact with his jaw. Hino winced and looked at the man who had punched him. "What the fuck did you do that for!"
The man growled, "Get out of my sight! I won't let you hurt my friend!" Hino just shrugged, "Whatever, she isn't that pretty anyway." Hino slowly walked off. Tomoyo noticing the commotion looked up slowly meeting up with dark blue eyes.
