Thanks again to everyone who's still reading this…even though I'm so inconsistent with my updating. Hehe…I've been really busy and I haven't been getting any ideas. But, then again, that shouldn't be any excuse. Anyway, hope you enjoy and tell me what you think!

Chapter 4

"Did I just see…what I think I just saw?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure you did."

Sakura turned her head, wide-eyed to the irked Syaoran at her side.

"Wai…so Tomoyo finally decided to get a boyfriend. I can't believe she didn't tell me!" Huffed Sakura in an angry breath.

"Hey, shouldn't I be the one that's angry? This isn't exactly my idea of a date." Syaoran responded.

"Well you were the one who suggest a walk through Penguin Park."

"Yeah, I did," he agreed. "But I said 'walk' not hide in the bushes and spy on my friend!" he exclaimed in a loud whisper.

He was about to go on and continue his long-awaited rant of why they shouldn't be spying, but Sakura had already turned her head away from him.

I'm going to call Tomoyo-chan now and ask her what she did tonight." She giggled maliciously while ruffling in her bag for her mobile phone. She flipped it open and dialed as her boyfriend watched her helplessly.

Syaoran muttered incoherent words under his breath while the dial tone and beeping noises were made in the background.

"Konnichiwa, Tomoyo-chan. Ne, ne, what were you doing about, hmm, 15 minutes ago?" Her inquiring voice dripped with slyness.

"Er…" Tomoyo was rendered speechless while her best friend interrogated her on where she was. "You see…"

She went on… "Because I called your house and no one picked up. How strange… Isn't that strange Syaoran?"

"Hn.." he grumbled in reply.

"Well…I was taking a…shower. You see, I had put the radio on so I couldn't hear the phone." She sighed in relief. However, Sakura wasn't about to give up.

"But you always bring the phone in with you. It's a part of your 'Never-miss-a-call policy.' Remember?"

Tomoyo was flabbergasted. It was true, and she couldn't just lie to her best friend. Since when has Sakura been so…frightening?

"Well… you see, I really wasn't in the shower." I guess I can't hold this up any longer.

"I know. You were at the park with Eriol-kun and he pushed you on the swings. You guys looked amazingly cute. I think Syaoran almost gagged."

A protesting Syaoran interrupted her. "No. I. Wasn't."

"Anyway, how could you not tell me? Am I not your best friend?" She feigned a sob into the phone.

"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan." She apologized, knowing Sakura, she really wasn't crying.

"Okay! I'll see you at school tomorrow, Tomoyo-chan. Bye-bye ! " A happy, voice.

"Bye, Tomoyo." A grunt.

Tomoyo closed her mobile phone and placed it on the table. She looked at the clock hung up beside the door to her bedroom. It read 9:30 PM. She walked into the bathroom to wash up. She had to go in early for tomorrow was her day for morning duty. As she finished slipping on her nightgown, she felt her throat closing up. There was a tickling feeling in her throat that stung.

She quickly grabbed a few tissues and held it to her mouth. She coughed sharply and a painful feeling crept up her throat. She clutched the counter of her bathroom for support as she sank down to the floor.

Tomoyo coughed for a few minutes before finally feeling the pain subside. She took the tissue from her mouth and saw the huge amount of red staining the once pure white. She crumpled it up and wrapped it in another tissue, then flushed it down the toilet. She didn't want her mother to know of the blood discharge.

Tomoyo knew she would have to confess to her friends soon.

Later…not now, Sakura's so happy… I'll just wait a few more weeks.

Tomoyo promptly woke up 5 minutes before her alarm went off the next morning. She turned it off and went into the bathroom to get ready. It was the same routine everyday.

She bade goodbye to her maids and walked out the door. It took about 10 minutes for her to get to school. She walked straight to school now. Before, she would stop by Sakura's house, and if she were awake, they'd walk to school together.

But now, it was Syaoran that did all the ringing of the doorbell, and assisting her to school.

When she opened the sliding door that marked the entrance of the classroom, she saw Eriol Hiiragizawa sitting in his seat, reading a book.

"Ohayo, Hiiragizawa-san." She whispered to him, nodding her head.

He looked up from his book and smiled when he saw her. "Ohayo, Daidouji-san. Are you here for morning duty?"

"Hai. Ano…thank you, again, for accompanying me in the park last night," She bowed her head down in front of him. "Demo…it seems Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun both saw us. " She smiled nervously, hoping he wouldn't be too angry.

"Well then, I hoped we put on a good show then, ne?" He chuckled with his eyes smiling at her.

A smile graced Tomoyo's face in aknowledgement. Then, she put her bookbag down and began to tidy up the classroom.

A/N Hope you enjoyed it. Sorry, if this chapter wasn't as good. ;; Not much action in this one, but hopefully the next chapter will be more exciting. Constructive criticism accepted.
