"Tomoyo… Tomoyo?!... To-mo-yo…" Eriol cooed, lightly shaking the fragile dark-haired maiden lying carelessly across his tan colored sofa. He was propped up beside her, obviously trying to wake her up.

She stirred.

"hmm, 5 more minutes, please" she murmured, shifting, making her hair fall across her face.

He reached out, pushing it gently back into place. He held his breath as he looked at the dark-haired beauty sprawled on his couch. Eriol had no idea how she even got there, all he knew and all that Spinel told him was that she came in last night, looking for him.

And then while waiting for him, Ruby Moon/Nakuru fed her, or somewhat gave her things to eat and then the next thing everyone knew she was fast asleep on the couch.

Nakuru didn't have the strength to move her, and she was doubtful that she might have confused sleeping powder with flour, while Spinel was scared that she might wake up and see a BIG cat with wings, so they left her on the couch.

And now she's still there, very close to Eriol's arms.

And he didn't know why, but he was practically straining himself.

What in Zeus' name were you doing out late last night? He thought to the sleeping girl.

He looked away…

It was really stupid, and he didn't know why, but there was something about this girl, Tomoyo, which affected him so much.

It was like…like, he couldn't really describe it. He knows his life and heart was for only one girl, Kaho Mizuki, then why was he feeling a need for the girl; who's sleeping form was in reach.

It wasn't lust, no not lust, never lust. It was sort of a need, but what kind of need?

He pondered for a moment and came up with… nothing.

For the first time in a few hundred years. He didn't know.

The girl stirred, taking him away from his thoughts.

He looked down at her, and found himself marveling at her beauty.

Oh darn! Stupid, stupid. "you"…No! You're an idiot Hiragizawa he cursed himself, stop it!

The lovely lady stirred again this time her eyes came open.

She looked around the room, and blinked. Realizing she wasn't in the safety confines of her apartment. She froze.

And then…

"Wait!" she cried. "E-Eriol-kun?"

"Yes?" Eriol replied, when she finally looked at him.

"I--" Tomoyo began, when Eriol cut her up.

"What were you doing out late last night?" he asked, looking pointedly at her.

She blushed. "W-well I was looking for you, technically."

"And why were you looking for me?" he replied.

"About that, w-well you left your handkerchief and, practically, your phone in my bag" she said.

"Can't it wait 'till tomorrow?" he asked, incredulously.

For a stupid phone that I left when we went out for a walk, she was out last night! Things could have happened to her for heaven's sake!!! He thought.

"But Mizuki-san kept calling and I was afraid she really needed you at the moment and… and…" she broke off.

Eriol sighed.

"Women!" he stated, giving up. Then he stood up.

He looked at her until she blushed.

"Stop that!" Tomoyo said, getting conscious.

He chuckled.

Finally the tense up mood lifted from their heated conversation.

Eriol still chuckling said. "C'mon let's get breakfast, why don't we."

Tomoyo smiled. "Alright"

* * * *

They ate breakfast in a good mood, forgetting the atmosphere of their last conversation and continually filling up the missing pieces of their life stories.

And like breakfast the rest of the morning was full of them too.

Until early afternoon; they were up on the patio, having tea and enjoying the afternoon breeze, when Nakuru came.

"Someone's here to see you, master" Nakuru sighed, walking away, not at all pleased.

Eriol's forehead creased. It was unusual to see Nakuru in a bad mood so early in the afternoon; usually she's up all day.

He looked at Tomoyo, she smiled at him encouragingly.

He smiled weakly back at her and stood up, "Will you excuse me for a while?" he murmured.

She giggled. "Sure"

He smiled again, and then walked out; knowing who it is that was seeking him.

* * * *

"Kaho?" he asked as he entered his huge rounded living room.

"Why weren't you answering my calls last night?!" she stated, immediately making a point.

"Well I forgot—"he was cut off.

"I don't care; you are suppose to answer it! I'm technically your girlfriend for heaven's sake, you're suppose to answer to me!" she snapped at him.

"Kaho, will you try to listen to me first?" Eriol said trying to control the situation.

"Listen to you, listen to you?! I've been listening to you all my life!" she countered.

Gosh, she was hysterical.

And then all of a sudden she stopped. Her eyes moved and zeroed on one thing; or person.

Tomoyo, Eriol thought his eyes searching. And then he heard her, she was by the doorway. Apparently pleased to see Mizuki.

"H-hi, Mizuki-san" Tomoyo said, smiling shyly.

Urgh… for one thing she hated stuttering. She didn't know hy she was being shy lately, but one thing's for sure… she definitely disliked it.

Kaho stared at Tomoyo, her eyes wide and her mouth set.

And then she burst. (ahh… there's nothing like a good old jelly & suspicious girlfriend )

"I knew it Eriol! Ever since that petty girl came! I knew it you've been cheating on me!" Kaho said to him, enraged.

"Kaho, this isn't like that" Eriol tried to explain, he looked at Tomoyo, who was biting her lower lip. She was tensed up.

Ofcoarse Tomoyo knew it wasn't true; Eriol wasn't the one who was cheating. Golly this was all her fault.

"Oh you've said enough already!" Kaho cried. "I hate you! Were done, you hear me we are DONE, officially!"

And she whirled around, making a dramatic exit, and then she left, leaving a wide-eyed Tomoyo frozen near the doorway and Eriol staring after her.

For a moment there was dead silence.

"I-I'-I'm" Tomoyo began, biting her lower lip, again.

Eriol looked at her; he tried to reach out to her. "It's… not your fault."

Tomoyo shook her head and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry!" she said, shakily, and left running out, practically near to tears.

"Wait!" Eriol said, but he was too late, she had already left.

She stared after her.

God, he thought, closing his eyes. I'm so stupid!

He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, wearily.

He kicked a stool.

I. am. so. Stupid.

He sat down trying to calm himself, before he could do anything rash.

There was one thing he was certain of…

… there will be no more heartbreaks.

He was making sure of it…
