Prologue
'Not again!'
"Eriol! Tomoyo-chan! Sakura-chan!" a chocolate-haired boy called his friends in the garden. "Come inside! They're gonna tell us something!"
(They are about 9-10 years of age.)
"Mou Syaoran, don't shout like that to us. We're not deaf but will be if you kept on doing that." A blue-haired boy with eyeglasses sitting under a cherry tree said politely. "We'll be there in a minute."
"You better hurry because they're waiting for us." grumpy Syaoran said and left the garden.
"Yes, we better hurry. Okaasan might get impatient of waiting." A girl with long wavy raven hair said, her almost pale face showed an innocent smile.
"Let's go now!" a girl with short auburn hair said gleefully. "Papa made a delicious pudding earlier."
The raven-haired girl giggled, "I'm sure that's really delicious. Your dad really cooks well, Sakura-chan."
"You're right, Tomoyo-chan. He's the best!" Sakura smiled cheerfully. "He made a couple of dishes too."
"I can't wait to taste it! I will just get my cam before we head for the waiting room, okay?" Tomoyo said her angelic smile still on her face.
"Okay, but…" Sakura stood up from her place. "You know…I don't think that getting you're cam will be a good idea." She said worrying to the fact that her bestfriend-cousin could get really excited in taking videos.
"It will be." Tomoyo said still with her angelic smile.
They chatted for a while not noticing that five minutes already passed and completely forgotten a certain blue-haired and azure-eyed boy at their side.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation but we really need to go inside." The forgotten Eriol said quietly.
"Are you…saying something, Eriol-chan?" Tomoyo asked her forgotten friend.
"I think he just said that we better get inside." Sakura said, not so sure.
"That's right. I don't want our parents be impatient." He said.
"Oh, is that so… well, we better get inside the manor." Tomoyo said. "I almost forgot."
"Maybe you just love to talk with Sakura-chan." Eriol suggested, pouting, with a tinge of jealousy on his voice.
"Yeah, I really love to do that." Tomoyo said, starry-eyed, not noticing Eriol pouted even more. "I love hearing her speak, seeing her walk……I love everything about her."
"Let's go now you two." Sakura said as she was heading towards the manor.
It almost took 5 minutes to get to the waiting room because of Tomoyo getting her video camera. As usual Eriol was forgotten again. Their mothers are discussing some topic when they opened the door. Sonomi Daidouji greeted first.
"There you are! What took you three so long? We need to tell you some important matters." She said firmly.
"Hello auntie, we just took a stroll in your garden." Sakura replied to Sonomi's inquiry before.
"Very well, take a sit and listen to us attentively." Nadeshiko Kinomoto, Sakura's mother, said to them.
They took a sit: Eriol, Tomoyo, Sakura on one couch and Syaoran standing behind it crossed arms. Tomoyo was first to speak.
"What do you need to tell us?" Tomoyo inquired politely.
"As you all know, we are leaving Tomoeda soon to live in England." Eriol's mother said and continued, "It concerns you too." She turned her gazed at Tomoyo who are taking a slice of a chocolate cake. "When we come back…you and my son should be together."
"What do you mean by that, auntie? Of course we would be together when you come here. We'll have a reunion to celebrate." Tomoyo curiously asked.
"It's not like that Tomoyo-chan. I know that you are too young to be discussed with this matters but I also know that you understand well. For elaborated explanation, you will be married to him when you're in the right age." She elaborated.
"Why is that?" Tomoyo asked. The slice of her chocolate cake was on a plate on her lap.
Eriol don't seem to be disturbed by this topic for he knew better. He just ate the cake and sipped some juice then turned his attention to everybody with a little smile on his lips.
"Well, since we were young and not yet married back then. Sonomi, Nadesiko, Yelan and I made a pact that when we had our own child, they will be married to each other." Eriol's mother said and continued. "It just that happens that Nadeshiko and Sonomi are cousins; Yelan and I are somehow related. That means we need to pick which one's son/daughter will be married to which. In the end we decided the best pairs and end up like this; Nadeshiko-Yelan's offspring and Sonomi and my offspring should be married. One from each."
"That's right. Touya doesn't like the idea of marrying one of my daughters so it's only you who's left to be married." Yelan said to Sakura. "We know that you are suited for my son."
"Who thought I would be married to Syaoran…." Sakura said.
"I do, Sakura-chan! You compliment each other. I wish I could be the one to design your wedding dress." Tomoyo squealed happily for that second but returned to her serious mode when Eriol cleared his throat, she faced their parents. "I guess I know why me. It's because I'm an only child and leave no other choice."
Eriol chuckled and the parents are still seriously calm. Tomoyo was feeling a bit uncomfortable by all of this. Eriol was, surprisingly, becoming close to her place and his hands were behind her shoulders.
"Then I guess it's all settled, we need not to worry about all of this." Nadeshiko said, smiling. "They are all close friends too and might develop some chemistry in the future." Nadeshiko said turning the mood from seriously calm to mysteriously happy.
"I guess you're right. I need to get the promise rings and—" Sonomi stopped when she saw Tomoyo hiding her face. She knows that it is a habit of Tomoyo that when she does that she doesn't want things that are happening to her. "Tomoyo, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm alright. You better get those rings, mother." She looked up and put a fake smile on her angelic face "So we get things done in no time." Sonomi took the rings on her desk and give them each. Tomoyo got a ring with amethyst in the center and diamond on each side. Sakura's ring was plain silver and a medium sized diamond on its center. Eriol and Syaoran got similar silver rings with a tiny diamond on the center.
"Okay, we'll all talk again tomorrow. Goodnight." Sonomi said as she and the others left.
"Are you sure, Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura inquired when their mothers left the room, her emerald eyes flashing with concern for her bestfriend-cousin.
"I'm fine, Sakura-chan. Thanks for asking but I really am alright." Tomoyo replied. "I guess things are just going way too fast for me. Early this morning we're all just friends but now…"
"Okay I already knows what you're talking about but even before we are born we are already destined to these circumstances." Sakura said and turned to Syaoran "You know I really didn't expect this. Did you already know this from the start, Syaoran?"
He nodded.
"Aa, but we wanted our parents to tell them to you." Eriol said arms still on behind Tomoyo.
"I know. I guess I need some rest now. I should check my new films of Sakura's lovely play last week." Tomoyo stand up but was stopped when a hand pulled her back on the couch. "Eep!" she squeaked. "Hey, why did you do that for?"
"Mom told you that we're going to live in England soon." He said. She nodded. Sakura and Syaoran noticed this.
"Tomoyo-chan, Syaoran and I need to talk privately. So we'll live you here to talk too." Sakura interrupted and dragged Syaoran by the door. "See you tomorrow!" she said.
Tomoyo sighed and took a more respectable distance away from Eriol but to no avail he just pulled to her closer than before.
"So back to what I was talking before, we are leaving soon. You will be left here for years, I don't know how long." He said seriously looking to her. He acts more mature for his young age. "I want you to promise that you'll not find a boyfriend."
"You know I can't break the promise I promised my MOM. But I can't promise not to love someone because of that engagement. I don't even like it at the first place. I only think of you as my bestfriend. But I'll keep my promise to them."
"I can change your thought of me. I would not give up on you. Next week we will leave."
"Don't you know that even how many boyfriends I get I'll always end up with you at the end." Tomoyo said, staying with her ever so calm mood. "I need to rest now. I don't even care if you leave now, goodnight." Then she stands up from her seat and headed towards the door, slamming it hard. Eriol eyed her all the way.
"I know that you're always mine." Eriol said before standing up and went to his room.
CHAPTER 1
DRINGGG! DRINGGG! DRINNNGGGG! The purple alarm clock ringed.
A girl with long wavy hair yawned and sat up from her queen-sized purple bed. The clock stopped ringing when the girl clicked the stop button from the side of the clock. Her amethyst eyes which were still sleepy blinked a couple of times to cope up with the surroundings. Her room was like a suite. It was well arranged and comes with all shades of purple. Obviously, purple was her favorite color. The thick-heavy curtains covering the windows were white designed with a couple of purple flowers in a scattered manner. She headed to the bathroom and again the color was obviously white designed with purple butterflies. Like the room was, it is also clean and tidy. She took a shower and went to her dressing room. It was huge with white wallpaper designed with purple paw prints; clothes were arranged by color and types. She just slipped on to a blue shirt that says 'don't be blue' and jeans.
A knock on the door can be heard the dressing room. The girl grabbed her purple backpack and hurried to the door and opened it. A girl with short auburn haired greeted her.
"Ohayo Tomoyo-chan! We should go to school now. It's the first day of school, remember?" the girl said then glanced to her shirt. "Your shirt is cute. Don't you expect me to be here?"
"Yeah, I don't expect you to be here so early. Oh, I'm sorry if I am a little bit late waking up. I just dreamt of it again and I hate it." Tomoyo said to her bestfriend-cousin. "Let's go now."
"How about breakfast Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura inquired.
"We'll just stop by a café on our way to school. I heard there's a new café nearby." Tomoyo said nonchalantly. She's been acting weird because she's normally a merry person.
"Are you alright?" Sakura asked her. "You're weird today. Please if you are feeling bad just tell me."
"Okay. I don't feel sick just a little dizzy." Tomoyo admitted.
"Miss Tomoyo, your mom wish to talk to you." A maid popped up from somewhere startling them but they recovered easily before fainting.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." As Tomoyo said that the maid bowed after her and left. She turned her attention to Sakura. "Just wait for me at the stairs."
"Hai!"
Tomoyo walked through the hallways and in about half a minute she was in front of her mother's room. She knocked three times and said,
"Mother, it's me Tomoyo. Can I come in?"
"Yes, come in." a soft but commanding voice said.
"What do we need to talk about, mother?" Tomoyo politely asked.
"Remember why you are wearing that ring on your finger." Sonomi said eyeing the ring. It was a silver ring with amethyst in the center and diamond on each side.
"Oh puh-leese don't remind me about that!" Tomoyo complained.
"Then why are you still wearing it?" her mother inquired raising her perfect left eyebrow up.
"It's because I love this color AND that stupid promise you made me to do!" Tomoyo exclaimed while explaining. "Is that all? I need to go to school now; it's the first day today."
"That's not all. I want to tell you that he just arrived from England." Sonomi informed. "He will be staying here until the time comes. It has been 9 years since they left for their business in England."
"I don't care about him. If that's all you will talk to me about I tell you it's a waste of my precious time. Bye mom, I'm going to be late." Tomoyo said controlling herself to calm down. She closed the door and walked to the stairs. She saw Sakura there talking in her cellphone. She looks happier than usual if that can be possible.
"Sakura-chan let us go now." Tomoyo smiled setting aside her earlier mood for she can't resist smiling when seeing her cousin-bestfriend happy. Sakura nodded.
"What did auntie said to you?" Sakura asked ending her phone call.
"That horrible thing they have planned for us." Tomoyo said Sakura nodded knowing that horrible thing to Tomoyo is not so horrible. "He's here. Did you know all of this before? Huh, Sakura-chan? I don't know why you're doing this to me."
"Uh… Of course I already know about this. Syaoran told me already way before then. You didn't know all of this because you don't want to talk with Eriol-kun whenever he calls you. You don't want to understand him. He always cares for you. Before our parents told us about this engagement thing, he is already in love with you. When his parents died, you didn't even care to call and comfort him." Sakura said managing to keep her voice low.
"Since when did you become so perceptive, huh, Sakura-chan? Never mind. I didn't call him because…… because I sent him already a text message that says I am also grieving for the death of his parents." Tomoyo defended herself.
"But that's not enough." Sakura said "Syaoran and Eriol-kun will pick us up. They will be here in a few minutes."
"What!" Tomoyo yelled.
A honking of car can be heard for they are near the entrance now. Sakura dragged her cousin-bestfriend, Tomoyo, all the way to the entrance.
"Oh they are here!" Sakura squealed hopping all the way to the blue car AND Tomoyo still on Sakura's strong grip. Sakura waved giddily to her fiancé as he went out of the blue car. "Good Morning Syaoran! How's your day?"
"I'm fine and now that I saw you I'm feeling great." Syaoran smiled to his fiancée and turned to greet Tomoyo. "Hello Tomoyo-san, Eriol is inside the car waiting for you."
"Eh? Shouldn't be a gentleman come personally and greet us?" Tomoyo said crossing her arms in front of her. "Besides, I don't want to see or talk to him. I gotta go if you're taking Sakura-chan with you 'coz I'm gonna be late for school now."
"You can't do that Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura pouted.
"Of course I can! After all I'm a Daidouji with the Amamiya blood too!" Tomoyo said proudly at the same time getting her car keys from her pocket. "Okay, see you later!"
"She's very stubborn, ne Sakura?" Syaoran said as Tomoyo drove away in her black car.
"You're right. We better go now if you don't want us marked up late." Sakura replied. "Hey wait, Tomoyo didn't even eat her breakfast."
"Maybe she's on a diet." Syaoran replied and took his fiancée's hand. "Let's go now."
"Oi Tomoyo-chan! You made Eriol-kun furious!" Sakura said as she sat beside Tomoyo on the campus grounds. "I've never seen him so furious like that before. You better talk to him before he does and do what you don't expect him to do. He changed a lot since his parents died."
"I don't care about him. Besides, I have a date with Kenji later!" Tomoyo said biting her ham sandwich. It is their 40-minute break this time. Kenji is her long time suitor.
"Isn't he the cute guy that courts you even though he knows he's wasting time?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah that's what I liked about him." Tomoyo confirmed.
"How about Eriol-kun? He sure won't like the idea."
"I don't care about him." Tomoyo said nonchalantly then slid the plastic of the once existed ham sandwich to her backpack. "Do you know where the trash bins are?"
"Can you please be serious, Tomoyo-chan! Auntie Sonomi will be mad if she knows about this. Don't you even care?" Sakura said.
"How many times does it need to let you understand I don't care?" Tomoyo said calmly.
"Many times," A deep masculine voice said from behind them. "Why, don't you care about us, Lady Tomoyo?"
"Huh?" Tomoyo said as she was turned around by a strong hand making her face a blue-haired man with oval-rimmed eyeglasses covering his azure eyes. "Who are you?" She said, dumbfounded.
"You don't even remember your own fiancé. I could tell that you care less but I could fix that." The man said firmly. Tomoyo was still lost at words when he continued. "Why, are you shocked of seeing me here? Do you expect you won't see me until the day has come?" He studied her expression then continued, "So you expected that that day will not be as soon as it was. You didn't even ask for the date." He smiled thoughtfully, "But I'm happy to see you again for a long time. You're mine and only mine. You can't date any boy now that I'm here."
Tomoyo was still, at this time, frozen. Sakura interrupted,
"Uh, Eriol-kun, Tomoyo-chan didn't date anybody until this day. Maybe she did that on purpose." Sakura said helping Tomoyo by shrugging her.
"Why is that?" Eriol asked.
"She wants to get away with you, I guess. Kenji has been courting her since you have left for England. He may be cute but Tomoyo-chan doesn't mind him that much, or should I say she didn't even notice him at the first place until today." Sakura put her cutest smile as she said the last phrase. "She still remembers that day. She's just not yet ready for those circumstances. Please understand her."
"Yeah, Sakura is right. Tomoyo-san is not yet ready for these things." Syaoran appeared from behind them. Sakura jumped when she heard him speak because that was definitely unexpected. "And who is this cute boy you're talking about?"
"He's nothing. The problem now is Tomoyo-chan." Sakura replied.
"I understand her." Eriol smiled at the still shocked and frozen Tomoyo melting her. "Do want to know a secret?"
"Eh?" Tomoyo finally expressed her reaction. Maybe they're right. I should better accept these things for the better. I know they only want what's good for me. I don't want to disappoint them; I made up my mind now. I'll do what I gotta do. Maybe I should try first. I can always back out.
"Is that all what you got to say? The Ice Queen failed to say her famous punch lines? This is a real miracle." Syaoran teased Tomoyo.
"Oi, that's not all! It was just… I just realized… things. I'm sorry for being a complete idiot." Tomoyo said softly, "For all those years, I've been a moron. A—" her words was stopped when Eriol suddenly embraced her. "What are you doing?"
"I am very happy. You always made me happy when I see your angelic smiles until that day you became cold to everyone." Eriol explained. "But now is different, you made me very happy."
"She's not cold to everyone. In fact, she is very thoughtful." Sakura butted in, seeing the look on Syaoran, she added, "Only to me, I guess."
"Oi!" Tomoyo patted Eriol who was still hugging her tightly. "You said you'll tell me a secret."
"I'll tell you after we had our first dinner date later." He said. "Tomorrow I'll start to attend my classes. I've arranged all same to yours. I'll be your partner in any subject and—"
"Could you let me go now? It's a bit awkward." Tomoyo interrupted.
"Don't mind them. I feel comfortable and a tinge of disappointment too because Sakura-san and Syaoran are watching us and not minding their own business." Eriol whispered to Tomoyo, tickling her ears.
"Is that so? You should let go of me now 'coz the bell will ring in any minute that signals the break ends." Tomoyo said softly. "We'll see each other later so don't worry."
"I don't worry. I will just miss you." He defended himself.
"Eriol-kun, can you let go of her now? It's time for us to head back to our classrooms now. In case that if you don't want us to graduate this year and postpone yours and ours official engagement party. Oops!" Sakura slapped her big mouth. Me and my big mouth!
"Engagement party?" Tomoyo looked up. "Is that the secret of yours?"
"It's only a part of the big secret, Tomoyo." He said adding a soft tone on his voice when he said her name. "So, Sakura-chan, stop your big mouth from spilling the secret."
"That's not fair!" Tomoyo pulled off of Eriol's arms. "Why does she knows and I do not!" Tomoyo pouted and walked away.
"She's weird you know." Syaoran said patting Eriol's back. "We should go now. We'll probably see you later. Sakura, let's go." He said looking for Sakura who's running after Tomoyo. "Sakura! Wait for me!"
"I should go now too. Now that's she understands, it would be easier for her to love me." Eriol walked away back to his blue car.
Later that afternoon…
"Tomoyo-san, are you still going to our date?" Kenji asked. They are in the same history class and seatmates too. Their antique teacher is explaining about World War 2.
"NO. My fiancé just arrived yesterday." Tomoyo said not looking up from her notes.
"I thought you hate him."
"Not until today. I realized things that are right to do." Tomoyo said trying to make him understand but not looking up. "You should stop doing these things. I am engaged already."
"But not married yet. I still have a chance." He turned away from her and focused to his own notes. "I still have a chance."
BRRINNGGGGGGGG!
The bell for dismissal rang.
"Okay, class, dismissed." The old professor said.
Tomoyo gathered her things and went to her locker; five lockers next to Sakura's. She placed back her books in it but didn't notice Sakura was walking to her.
"Hello Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said. "I thought you might like to go out to the park with us. Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko are coming. It's a girl's day out."
"I'm sorry but I have to do so many reports for next week. I don't wanna cram before its due." Tomoyo replied to her smiling cousin-bestfriend. "Maybe some other time will do."
"Don't you want to know Eriol-kun's secret?" Sakura tempted Tomoyo.
"Of course I want to know that mysterious secret of yours. But I could always call him and ask."
"He won't tell it unless you come with us. You will be having a dinner-date later." Sakura informed Tomoyo.
"I know." Tomoyo thought for a while. Why does this always happen to me. I always end up losing this past few days. "I'm sorry Sakura-chan but I still have to do things."
"That's too bad…" Sakura smiled again, "Can you help me with our reports, Tomoyo-chan?"
"Now see who's talking." Tomoyo said. Suddenly her phone rang and she picked her purple cellphone from her bag.
"Moshi-moshi, dare desu ka?" Tomoyo said.
"It's me Eriol."
"Why did you call? Is there a problem?" Tomoyo asked.
"There's no problem. I just want to hear your voice and I miss you."
"Eh? You did live without me for many years." Tomoyo said and Sakura was wondering what they're talking about. Then Syaoran came to them and asked Sakura who is Tomoyo is talking to. Sakura just shrugged.
"Those years are lonely years, painful too." Eriol replied from the other line.
"Why is that?" Tomoyo asked curiously, now walking with Sakura and Syaoran to the parking lot. "Bye Sakura and Syaoran. Sakura, I'll teach you some other time." Sakura nodded and walked away with Syaoran.
"Are you going home now?" Eriol asked.
"Hai! And please answer my question." She said as she went to start her car and put the earphone to her phone.
"Because you're not there with me" He replied shortly.
"Okay. Where are you now?" She asked while turning her car to the left.
"At your manor."
"Why are you there?"
"I'll tell you later when you got here." Eriol replied.
"I have a question. What should I call you?" Tomoyo asked her fiancé.
"Eriol is enough. But honey is alright too." He replied.
"When did you gotten so sweet? Oh right Sakura-chan told me earlier that you've changed a lot." Tomoyo said, quite amused.
"Only to you" Eriol replied sweetly. They chatted for a few minutes and Tomoyo was already in the gate of her manor.
"I'm on the garage now." Tomoyo said as she parked her car. "Where are you now?"
"I'm in the Purple Room."
"What are you doing there?" Tomoyo shouted but Eriol hung the phone.
"What are you doing in here?" Tomoyo said to Eriol.
"I'm waiting for you." He replied "You sure love color purple."
"Yeah."
"It's majestic just like you." Eriol complimented.
"I'm sleepy now so if you don't mind I'll take a nap." Tomoyo said heading to her queen-sized bed.
"Aren't you going to change your clothes?" Eriol asked and said, "Or do you want me to change it for you."
"You sure changed a lot." Tomoyo said as she plopped down on her bed. Eriol followed her shortly. "I don't mind." Then she closed her eyes drowning into a deep sleep with a dream.
"Good bye everyone…good bye Tomoyo." Eriol said as he hopped inside the car.
"I don't care about you!" Tomoyo said and walked out. What they didn't know is that Tomoyo is fighting back tears. 'What have I done? Now I'll never see him again!'
She went to the park and sit on a swing and there she cried. She almost jumped when a boy talked to her.
"Why are you crying?" the boy asked Tomoyo. He has red hair and soft blue eyes. He sat to the swing next to Tomoyo.
"Nothing. I'm just sad." She replied. "My mommy arranged me to a wedding when I grow up."
"Don't be sad. I can be your friend. I'm Len Akagi, what's yours?" Kenji asked.
"I'm Tomoyo Daidouji, pleased to meet you." She answered. "I better get home now."
"Okay, bye." The boy said. "See you tomorrow."
"Bye" She turned away and headed home. 'Maybe I'll not miss Eriol too much.'
Tomoyo woke up. That's the continuation. I wonder why my dream last night didn't repeat. She sat up on her bed and was amused she had different clothes now. "Maybe he does change my clothes." She said and lay back on her bed. She was surprised to hear someone stirring beside her. "Huh? What is he doing here?" she patted Eriol on his shoulders. "God, he was a deep sleeper! What will I do now!"
"Stay and sleep with me here." A familiar masculine voice said.
"So you're just pretending to sleep."
"No, actually I fell asleep and was awakened by your soft hands." He said and grabbed her hands to place it on his face. "I love it whenever you touch me."
Tomoyo began caressing his face. "Are you the one who changed my clothes?"
"Yes. Are you mad?" he said worriedly.
"Of course!" she said with a plan on her mind. "I'm not."
Eriol sighed.
"Why are you sighing heavily?" Tomoyo asked.
"We didn't have our date last night." He replied.
"We could always do that." Tomoyo said to him. "What's the secret?"
"Kiss me first." He said firmly. "If you wanna know kiss me first."
"Okay…" she kissed him on the cheeks softly. "Now tell me the secret."
"Not there! Here!" he pointed to his lips.
"Aren't you grateful that somehow I kissed you?" Tomoyo retorted.
"That's not enough! I'm not going to tell you our precious secret."
"Suit yourself!" she turned her back to Eriol.
"Hey, I'm just kidding." He said, "I'll tell you the secret."
"Now I win." Tomoyo said proudly. "What's the secret?"
"Our wedding… will be moved to a closer date. The wedding will be next year." He confessed.
"That's…good." Tomoyo said to him with a big smile.
"You're not furious or anything?"
"Why would I?" Tomoyo asked sarcastically.
"Because you said you hate being married to me."
"Who told you that?" Tomoyo asked.
"You."
"I'm just lying to myself and to everyone that time." Tomoyo said.
"Ah, okay. We should go to school now. We have our every class and we're partners in every group." He said.
"You told me that already. I'll go firs—" she was cut off by a noise that tells the door was opened.
"Tomoyo-chan why are you not ready……" Sakura said but stopped when she sees Tomoyo and Eriol on the bed. They seem to be just waked up from sleep. "…Yet. That's why you declined my request to help me for my report. It's because you have better reports to do with your fiancé."
"Sakura-chan, please stop jumping to wrong conclusions!" Tomoyo said.
"Why would I?" Sakura said sarcastically.
They're very alike. Eriol thought.
"Eh……" Tomoyo trailed.
"Huh? Tomoyo-chan I'm waiting." Sakura said to her cousin-bestfriend.
"We shall be getting our selves ready for school now!" Tomoyo changed the topic and ran off to the bathroom.
"What's with her?" Sakura asked Eriol.
"I don't know. I should better get dressed too." Eriol replied as he got out of the bed.
"Okay see you at school." Sakura said and walked out the room.
1 month later…
"Did you sleep well last night?" Eriol asked his fiancée. Tomoyo nodded. He continued, "Can I stay at your manor?"
"You have your own." Tomoyo blurted.
"But I want to be with you." Eriol said firmly.
"Okay." Tomoyo said with a warm smile.
"Are you agreeing?" Eriol asks.
"Hai!" Tomoyo confirmed.
"That's weird." He placed a finger on his chin. After 15 seconds or so he grabbed Tomoyo's shoulders. "Where's my beloved Tomoyo? Where did you hide her? I want her back!"
"She's right in front of you! I used her body to be able to seduce her handsome fiancé." She said and Eriol blushed hearing what Tomoyo just said. "What made you think I'm an alien in disguise? You're the one who is WEIRD!" Tomoyo said sarcastically.
"Nothing, you're just acting weird." He said then smiled, "Thanks for the compliment."
"Things change like you do." Tomoyo said.
"I know."
"We have to do our assignments." Tomoyo informed. "And that project in physics, we will finish that on the weekend."
"Can we do our assignments later?" Eriol asked as Tomoyo gets her book.
She looked up at Eriol and said, "NO! If you want to stay here, do your assignments."
"Assignments are officially one of the most I hate things." Eriol muttered.
"You can only stay here for a week!" Tomoyo said and Eriol groaned.
After 45 minutes……
"I'm done!" Eriol said stretching his arms. "Are you done, Tomoyo?"
"Almost…" Tomoyo said and smiled when she looked at her work. "I'm finished too."
"Do you want to eat now? I'm starving." He said the same time as Tomoyo's stomach growled. He chuckled lightly. "You're stomach is feeling the same as me."
"Yeah, it's already 7:55." Tomoyo said. "Let's eat now."
"Hello Eriol-chan or is it better to say my-soon-to-be-son-in-law." Sonomi Daidouji said cheerfully as she saw Tomoyo and Eriol enter the dining room. She has been like this when she noticed her daughter's relationship with the blue-haired lad suddenly bloomed in the past few weeks.
"Good evening Aunt Sonomi. I think Eriol-chan is too childish for my age and the fact that I'm engaged to your daughter." Eriol said as politely as ever.
"Don't worry mom, you can call him whatever you want." Tomoyo said and Eriol pulled a chair for her and thanked him after she has sitted.
"Are you sure? What if I call him 'Darling'?" Sonomi asked. "You don't mind?"
"Yeah, I don't mind at all." Tomoyo replied.
"You know honey, you're hurting my feelings." Eriol said looking a bit hurt. "You're very weird today. There are times that you are very sweet and suddenly change into that."
"So, now, I look like a monster to you?" Tomoyo retorted.
"It's not that. What I mean is you constantly change your mood." Eriol explained.
"I agree with that. But at least you and Eriol are getting along now. Eriol you can call me mother." Sonomi said to Eriol.
"Thanks aunt Sonomi…I mean mother." Eriol said. At least I have Tomoyo now and a mother-in-law too. I won't be that lonely especially if Tomoyo's here with me.
"Oh great, now you two get along with each other. You'll plan mischievous things for me on how to fall in love with Eriol! Didn'tyouknowthatIalreadydidfallinlovewithhim? You're making me sick while planning absurd things now." Tomoyo said.
"That's wonderful!" Eriol said making Tomoyo jump from her sit. I'll make her confess that clearly so that everyone will know.
"You understand that?" Tomoyo asked. I almost forgot that he's good at listening! I'm a dead meat now!
"Understand what?" Eriol said.
"What I said earlier." Tomoyo said.
"What did you say?" Eriol asked. This is it.
"I said that I, Tomoyo Daidouji, am…aminlovewithyou." She said.
"What?" Eriol asked Tomoyo. Sonomi knows what he's up to and stayed quiet. "Can you speak clearly?"
Tomoyo was getting angry now. "I said that I was already in love with you! Are you happy now?"
"Can you say that again?" Eriol requested.
"I've said it and I'm not going to repeat it. A Daidouji never repeats her word." Tomoyo said crossing her arms.
"But you're mom didn't hear it. And besides you're an Amamiya too." Eriol complained and Sonomi nodded.
"Yeah…Eriol's right I didn't hear it clearly, my dear little sweet tenshi." Sonomi said.
"Excuse me mother, but she's MY dear little sweet tenshi now." Eriol informed, he raised his finger.
"Don't be greedy, Eriol. She's my daughter." Sonomi said. "So Tomoyo, can you please repeat it for your mommy?"
"Alright, What I said was I already love Eriol." Tomoyo said, "I'm finished eating now. I shall go to bed and get some sleep."
"I'm going with you." Eriol said and Tomoyo gave him a questioning look. Knowing it he said, "Your mom wants us to be together always. I'm very lucky you know."
"Not always lucky." Tomoyo got up from her sit and exited the dining room. Eriol is beside her. They entered her room and Eriol locked it. "Why did you lock it?"
"I don't want us to be disturbed." He said and cornered me to the wall.
