I don't actually know what's going to happen next. I just write what's on my mind. I'm a frustrated writer so bear with me. I just happened to be extremely bored at the moment and I thought I'd contribute a fic. I'm borrowing CLAMP's characters and I'm going to write basically whatever I want! :)
Anyway, I'm bad at summaries. I tend to spoil the whole story when I attempt to summarize and I've never liked spoilers. So if you're curious enough, read.
Chapter 2. A little reunion
But how on earth would she be able to forget about this guy when he's back and looking more handsome than she remembered? It was a Sunday and she was sewing a dress for her cute Sakura-chan (Yes. She was still making her dresses but this time more normal with a little bit of ribbons and flowers and frills here and there but something you could wear out on the streets. It has become a hobby!), when Sakura called her and informed her of Eriol's visit. Apparently, he thought a little reunion was in order because of Syaoran's official stay in Tomoeda.
He said he prepared a small meal (which means a feast in his language) and invited Syaoran, Sakura, Keroberos who was still with Sakura, Yukito/Yue, Toya who refused but was dragged forcefully by Nakuru anyway, Fujitaka but he was out in an excavation site though he extended his greetings nevertheless, and her, Tomoyo who would have no reason to stay out of it even if she doesn't feel like seeing him again this soon after she reminisced about her feelings last night. Nakuru, Spinel and Mizuki-sensei was there too where they will always be. Right at his side. Well, anyway, best to put up her best smile. This was a happy event. She's not going to ruin it by dwelling on trivial matters of the heart.
Anyway, nothing has changed. Sakura was still wearing the brightest smile, smiling and laughing at every little thing. Syaoran was still looking at her with that dazed look that made him blush occasionally. He actually thought no one noticed but it was extremely obvious except to the receiver. Only, now that look was mixed with a sudden lovingly gaze from time to time and maybe that's why Toya glared at him and Syaoran was back with his defensive pose in response to him. He knew that Syaoran was meant for his sister and that pisses him off. Keroberos was in his plush toy form happily eating his doze of food. Still the greedy Kero-chan! Yue (he changed back to his original form a little while ago when he talked to Eriol about something Tomoyo couldn't hear from her distance) was now just standing at one corner eyes closed and arms folded looking bored but Tomoyo thinks he was just content to be there hearing the all-too-familiar noise. Nakuru was still messing with Toya probably out of habit. Spinel was drunk with sweets thanks to both Kero and Nakuru who stuffed chocolates in his mouth because they saw Spinel yawned and that was a chance. Basically the same. Mizuki-sensei was serving everyone with food until she and Toya talked when Toya finally got out of Nakuru's hugging. And Tomoyo was at the far end of the manor capturing everything on video. Yup, nothing's changed at all.
"Having fun Daidoji-san?" She hadn't expected that. She was, after all, trying to evade all contacts on this person. "Interesting isn't it? That nothing's change after everything." She smiled at him. He smiled back. "How have you been Hiragizawa-kun?" She had to ask. She might not want to be so close to him but she always like their short conversations. Besides, talking to him might be the best way to get over him. She didn't like the thought of running away forever.
"Fine, I guess." Now she felt something was amiss. "How about you?"
"I'm holding out just fine either." That was not a lie. She praised herself for being so calm beside him despite feeling otherwise. What is it with her and this stupid emotion? "What made you decide to come back all of a sudden?"
"I thought it was fun to gather. I've learned about Syaoran's arrival here. Just a hunch but my hunches were always right."
"The great sorcerer's reincarnation is becoming slightly arrogant, don't you think?"
"Just stating some facts." And then he smiled and she had to pretend she adjusted something in her video camera. "And I thought I wanted to see everyone once again since I made chaos the last time we saw each other."
"But that was so you could help Sakura-chan? Neh?" Something was a little off. He was looking at a distance, something blank in his face. He was troubled about something. Great! She just made herself curious about him once more. Might as well just give in.
"But you aren't being completely honest Hiragizawa-kun?"
She saw how he was taken aback. She may not have magical powers of any sort but her observation skills were pretty accurate. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore with your observations. Yes, you're right. I came back because I wanted to confirm something." That made her worry.
"Is it about the Clow Cards? Is Sakura-chan in any danger?"
"No." And he smiled again. He seems to do that often when he's hiding something. And she has a feeling he won't tell her about whatever it is that's troubling him. "Don't worry about that. Everything's fine the way there is now." And she was right. He made no effort to say anything else after that.
The event continued until evening when everybody offered help to clean up even though Eriol insisted it wasn't necessary.
"How long will you be staying here?" Sakura asked when everyone was getting ready to leave. Tomoyo was curious about that too.
"As soon as I'm done with my business." Yet another vague reply.
"What business? Is something wrong?"
"Everything's fine. Sakura-chan. Nothing to worry about. Now I suggest you run over to his side before he kills me with the way he's looking."
"Hoe?" Sakura looked at her boyfriend and Syaoran was glaring at Eriol. This fellow still hasn't gotten over his jealousy. Tomoyo found it cute though. She'd tease him once she had the chance.
Sakura ran to Syaoran and the poor guy was still madly blushing after everything. Yup. She definitely would tease him about it.
"Daidoji-san."
She wasn't paying much attention so she could swear she blushed at how close he had gotten to her face. Curse him for doing that! "Huh?" was all she could mutter. "Nothing." And he had the nerve to laugh. It was a silent laugh but still a laugh and she swears if she wasn't Tomoyo Daidoji she'd kick him! But anyway, that was weird.
And that kept her all night.
And I thought I'll end it in chapter 2. I thought wrong. As implied though, I guess another chapter is in order. I'll update as soon as I can. I unfortunately have something I have to do right now and it's due tomorrow! I just didn't want to do it earlier so I got bored. I really need to step out of my comfort zone now. Anyway, thank you for reading! I love both Eriol and Tomoyo!
