Author's Notes: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.
Tomoyo was just in her room, fuming mad. Why? She text Syaoran if he can sign her slam notebook, it's like an autograph. Why is she very mad at him? First Syaoran didn't text her he couldn't go and second of all why did he reply to Sakura's phone and not to her! "Dammit!" she told herself, kicking the pillow. "I admit I'm really jealous". She went to Sakura's house the other day and she told Tomoyo, Syaoran was so sorry that he didn't reply to her immediately. Her point is…why didn't he reply to her? Her not Sakura! And today they went to Tomoeda Mall coz' Syaoran said he'll go. But…he didn't. "Lies! It was all a lie!" she exclaimed as she scanned the T.V. on different channels. "How could you Oniichan? After all this time…I make myself believe…"she buried her face on her knees. No, she didn't cry. And why should she? It wasn't worth it…or so she thought? She just wouldn't admit to herself…she was infatuated by her old time friend who she seldom sees and now her best friend and ever dearest cousin always meets with him every Friday after class and every Saturday.
"The next thing I knew it she'll say they have already a relationship. God…what will I do when she'll say that?" Tomoyo added, as she looked at the T.V. Then she remembered Eriol. "W-What will Oniichan Eriol feels when he learns about it? Will he learn to let her go? And will I do the same?" she sighed, feeling useless. "I hate talking all by myself…I wish I could tell this to someone. Not to Sakura…I will NEVER tell this to her. Never…" she closed again her eyes and buried her face on the pillow. She doesn't want to think too much. And because of what Syaoran did she told Sakura she doesn't want to hear his name and will not forgive him of what he did…
Sakura had borrowed some C.D.'s from Tomoyo and Tomoyo was in their house because Sakura had told her they have finished watching all the movies that Sakura borrowed. Tomoyo was just waiting for Sakura outside their house…she wouldn't be long anyways. "Here Tomoyo thanks a lot!" Sakura said with that smile of hers. Tomoyo smiled back…wryly.
"No problem dear Sakura", was all Tomoyo could say. "See you around". She was about to go when Sakura added.
"Wait Tomoyo I've got something to tell you". Tomoyo doesn't know why but she feels that she knows what Sakura is about to say.
"I-Is it important?" Tomoyo asked, Sakura nods her head. "O-Okay then. Fire away".
"I-It's about Syaoran…h-he's my boyfriend". Tomoyo looked at her so shocked.
"Is this a joke? Or are you playing a scheme?" Tomoyo asked again. Sakura shook her head.
"It's true…he confessed to me". Tomoyo sighed and thought…of course after all the outings the two had every Friday and Saturday why couldn't Syaoran fall for her?
"Congratulations", the raven haired said…but without any enthusiasm and she gave a wry smile. "I'm so happy…for the both of you".
"Thank you Tomoyo", the cherry blossom said with a smile. But Tomoyo knew Sakura didn't see her façade.
"I need to go Sakura. It's late".
"Oh…sure Tomoyo! Night and thanks for the C.D.'s".
"No problem…Sakura", Tomoyo said as she went in her car. Sakura waved "Goodbye" as Tomoyo gave a wry smile. Then she couldn't take it anymore…her tears started to fall. "My guess was right", she told herself, still looking outside the window. "The two will end up together". Then she thought about Eriol as the blue-eyed boy flashed in her mind. "Oh Oniichan…I need your help…" As she arrived in her house she ran quickly to her room, lock the door and put the C.D.'s on the table. But her amethyst eyes can't keep on crying…her crystal tears we're still flowing from her eyes down to her cheeks. "I should be happy for them I should be! Love isn't selfish!" she said as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Love isn't selfish…"she cried harder than before as she sat down on her bed. "I knew this would happen! How wish I never met him again so that they won't know each other! But then again…"a wry smile was playing on her lips. "But then again…I know that there will be a time fate and destiny would meet us without our knowledge…"she bit her bottom lip and sighed. "God…help me to get over with this feeling…"
And whenever she and Sakura will meet and Sakura will keep on talking about Syaoran, Tomoyo reminded her she doesn't want to hear his name…she gave a perfect excuse why…because of the incident that Syaoran promised that he'll sign her notebook. But the true reason is…she hated him...hated him for loving her best friend. She had to admit Sakura is beautiful than her. That night when she cried she had asked God so many questions like…how come she wasn't born to be beautiful like Sakura? How come she wasn't born to be attractive? How come her voice was the only weapon to get some guys attention? How come? It was a lame reason, she always thought. But she couldn't do anything about it. "Sakura how about Oniichan Eriol? He still likes you…if he asks again when will you say "Yes" to him what will you do?" Tomoyo asked one day. Sakura gave a wry smile and shrugged.
"I want you to tell him Tomoyo". Tomoyo looked at her shocked.
"Are you crazy!" Sakura gave a slight laugh. "Other people who already have a love one wants to tell her or his friends first they have already a love one not her or his friends will tell her or his other friends what's happening on their friend's life! Do you understand me?" Sakura shook her head. Tomoyo groaned. "What I mean it's better if you tell Oniichan Eriol about this…not me telling him. Okay?"
"I get it but…."Sakura tilt her head and gave an evil smile. "You have my permission to tell him". Tomoyo gaped at her.
"Sa-ku-ra! You had to tell him!" the raven haired lass exclaimed. Sakura shook her head again with a slight laugh.
"I really want you to tell him", Sakura told her. Tomoyo sighed. She doesn't know what to do! She has Sakura's permission but she wants Sakura to tell Eriol. She prayed that Eriol will find out Sakura had a love one already. She CAN'T tell him…she wants Sakura to tell him.
There were many Monday and Friday nights that Tomoyo will call at Eriol's house because Tomoyo doesn't want to give her telephone number and that's why she will call the lad instead. But that Sunday night Eriol wanted to call her immediately. "Must be important", she thought as she replied. Hi Oniichan! I'm going home right now. Can you wait for my call?
Sure was Eriol's reply. When she had arrived at her house she called him immediately. "Oniichan what is it?"
"I have to tell you this before Sakura will tell you. I have to be the first!" Tomoyo sweat dropped. She imagined Eriol wanted to be the first one to win the race. "I was in Tomoeda Mall today and I was with my friends. But I didn't expect to see Sakura there…together with a boy. Tomoyo is it…her love one?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo thought Sakura was with Syaoran. Her prayer was answered! She doesn't have to tell Eriol that Sakura has a love one…he has to see the evidence!
"Y-Yes Oniichan…I believe you saw Sakura's love one a-and…my ex-crush", she told him, shyly. Even though he couldn't see it she was flushing.
"Sakura has a love one already?"
"Y-Yes and it was so hard to break the news to you. I-I know you like Sakura", Tomoyo replied. Eriol gave a slight laugh.
"I like her…but that was in the past. There are things which changed about her and I don't like it", Eriol said. Tomoyo was shocked to hear that. She thought he adored Sakura from head to foot.
"Which is?"
"Her attitude", he replied. "I sometimes don't like her attitude. We didn't even say "Hi" when we saw each other in Tomoeda Mall. Some things do change". Tomoyo sighed and asked.
"You still love her Oniichan?" Eriol shrugged even though Tomoyo couldn't see it.
"I don't want to know". Then he asked. "So you have a crush on Sakura's love one?" he teased. She blushed.
"May I correct you that was before dear Oniichan?" she said. Eriol chuckled.
"So who's your new crush?" he asked. She couldn't tell him that Eriol was her first crush before Syaoran. She had fallen in love with his dance.
"Can't tell you though", she said. She has the perfect combat.
"Aw little sis! Come on tell me! I am your big brother after all!" Eriol exclaimed. She gave a slight laugh.
"Maybe…next time Oniichan", was all the lass can say.
To be continued…
