Chapter 2:
"Ne, ne, Tomoyo-chan. Are you going to the ice-skating rink again?" Inquired Sakura.
"Hm, I don't know. Maybe, Sakura-chan. Would you like to come with me?" Tomoyo said as she gathered her books from the desktop.
Before Sakura could answer, Syaoran came through the doorway. Snaking his arms behind her waist, he gave Sakura a peck on the cheek.
Tomoyo smiled at the romantic couple, giving a gentle smile before walking away quietly. She bumped into Eriol Hiiragizawa on the way out. She was walking in the empty hallways, with her shoes padding on the floor, when she rounded the corner and…
Crash.
"Itai…" sighed Tomoyo as she rubbed her forehead. "Ah! Gomenasai!" She exclaimed as she bowed her head numerous times.
"It's okay," replied Eriol as he chuckled. "I wasn't watching where I was going myself. Gomenasai."
Eriol stuck out his hand as to help Tomoyo in getting on her feet again. He pulled her up and they both walked out to the courtyard for some lunch. They walked slowly into the shade of the cherry blossom tree, they spotted Sakura and Syaoran sharing a bento. Well, it was mostly Syaoran in a pout, protesting that he wasn't hungry and Sakura trying to stuff a piece of okonomiyaki into him.
Tomoyo giggled at the sight, before setting into a sad smile. Barely noticeable, barely. Had the great reincarnation of Clow been looking at the lovely couple under the tree, he would have missed it.
But he didn't.
It was seen through his eyes. It was there for a flicker of a second, and then it was gone. As if it never existed.
"Tomoyo-chan, come eat lunch with us!" Exclaimed Sakura as she patted an empty spot next to her.
Hesitation… "Um… sure." Tomoyo smiled with a look of graciousness about. But it was a mere two minutes before Tomoyo suddenly sprang up from her seat.
"Oh no! I was supposed to meet with Terada-sensei about the competition next month!" She hurriedly gathered her things and ran off into the building.
"Hm, I'll go with her. Just to make sure she doesn't get lost or anything, in her state at least." Eriol walked off in the direction of Tomoyo.
In the classroom, Tomoyo hunched over a sheet of music.
" You know, you are a very good actress." Said Eriol as he leaned against the doorway.
Tomoyo
looked up and saw Eriol staring down at her.
" I just felt that
Sakura and Syaoran should have their time alone," reasoned Tomoyo
calmly. " And, they wouldn't mind."
" Well, lunch is almost over. Everyone should be heading back into here soon. Would you like to wait with me?" asked Eriol.
"Of course."
A/N I hope you all liked it! Next chapter is coming up soon. (Just need to get some ideas. Shhh) Please Review! Constructive criticism accepted.
