Hey there! Sorry for the really long wait readers. I got a little busy but I'm just so excited to finish this story, I did my best writing as soon as I got a hold of the computer. I was determined to make a conclusion out of this. Hope you enjoy this fic.

CCS is not mine! If I wish hard enough, it still wouldn't be mine but this fic is!

I appreciate the reviews. It kept me going. I can't disappoint the readers so I was determined to finish this. And I actually did! Yey for me!. This is the product of my love for Eriol and Tomoyo!

Chapter 4. Confirmed

She had fun. Honestly, she had the most fun right now except maybe when she was videotaping Sakura in her Cardcaptor days but she didn't know she could laugh so much in his company. Granted she did love him (yes she wouldn't deny herself anymore of it) and that made all the difference. They tried every ride, stopped for a while to eat ice cream and he treated her like the perfect gentlemen he is. She was not even sure how she managed to hide her blush every time he offers his hand to her. Maybe this is how Sakura feels when she's in her 'hanyan' state. Tomoyo wondered how this would end if she was like the honest transparent Sakura. Eriol might have noticed her feelings by now; but she was the calm and careful Tomoyo. She would hide her feelings so he wouldn't get troubled. She smiled thinking about how she was similar to Syaoran right now when he wanted to hide his feelings to Sakura. Now she knows how he felt back then. This was a different case though. Tomoyo knew that Sakura would definitely love Syaoran back. In her case, this is a guy whose heart is already taken and maybe hurting right now because of that. Still, he was with her now and Tomoyo would allow herself to be selfish even for a day. Then she noticed him staring at her, grinning. She wondered if her blush is showing. They were currently inside the ferris wheel sitting in front of each other.

"You seem to be thinking of something Daidoji-san. It hurts my pride when you're with me and you have your attention somewhere else." Was he flirting with her?

"Ah but the way I have your full attention right now flatters me Hiragizawa-kun." She could play his game. She guessed it surprised him a little.

"I meant to flatter you." Okay. He wins. She's staying quiet now. Because she can hardly control her beating heart.

"You stopped writing me letters a year ago." He seemed to turn serious all of a sudden.

"Huh. Yeah."

"Why?"

Because it hurts. That was the time when Rika told them about her engagement with Terada-sensei. She started wishing she have someone else too. And she was excited about writing and receiving letters to a guy who had reserved his kindest look to that person whom she also respected. It wasn't right to love him so she needed to stop, start forgetting about him, move on and hope she'll find someone too. All plans failed when he came back but… She didn't think she'd ever regret this day.

Of course she would not say all that. "I thought it was redundant since Sakura keeps updating you with us anyway."

Silence. He had that serious look in his face. "I didn't think it was."

"Sorry." Why? Why did he have that expression on his face that makes her want to think he actually was looking forward to her letters?

"About Kaho…" He was going to tell her now.

"I had thought if our feelings were mutual, we would have a happy ending."

Did Mizuki-sensei find someone else? Was he actually sad right now?

"I had my predictions. After all, I had all the powers of Clow Reed and I had predicted everything accurately except when it comes to matters of the heart. For example, I had thought Sakura-chan would fall in love with the other self of Yue and her love would be returned but I was wrong. Yukito chose her big brother. And Sakura's heart belonged to Li Syaoran. I also predicted I'd fall in love with the priestess of the Tsukihime shrine. And I did when I saw Kaho. She was someone I've grown to care about ever since we met in England."

Stop it! She would not hear about it anymore. This was the time she was glad she was Tomoyo and not Sakura because if her emotions show in her face, she'd probably cry right now.

"But I wasn't able to predict you."

What? Did she hear him right? What did he mean? She was too surprised she didn't even notice he stood up and went to her side, trapping her between his arms. He was slowly leaning towards her. "I thought I needed to confirm something. Forgive me Daidoji-san but I don't think I'll ever be sorry about this."

And then he kissed her. And suddenly, Tomoyo's time stopped. Here was the man she had been loving for a long time now. A man she thought she couldn't have. A man she was finding hard to forget and he was kissing her. She didn't understand. Why all of a sudden? Did he mean what she thought he meant?

It was a brief kiss. After that, he looked at her and smiled. And even though she was utterly attracted to that smile, it's beginning to irritate her. She didn't know what to think anymore. He was making it all difficult. "Confirmed." He said and he was walking away. She grabbed his shirt.

"You can't just kiss me and then turn your back on me without an explanation." She was surprised she was able to say that.

He didn't make any effort to look at her but he replied. "You intrigued me the moment I saw you. You weren't in my predictions and so I got too curious about you. I did notice you staring at me a couple of times back when I was studying here." She blushed at that and she was thankful he was not looking.

"I was also curious of why you have that special look with Sakura-chan."

"I know but I had thought you noticed I was involved with the clow cards. And I wondered about it for too long, you were always that somebody on my mind. When I went back to England, I found myself looking forward to your letters even more than any others I received. I thought it was only because you were a good observant and your insights were interesting but when you stopped writing, I found myself feeling a little lonely. Kaho noticed. She knows me after all. She asked me if our feelings were still mutual. I didn't know. Then she told me, maybe it was about time I confirm it. She told me that she might not be right for me anyway. She might just be looking for the Clow Reed in me. I should get hurt when she said that. Strangely, I didn't. She suggested I should go back here and when I found out about Syaoran's arrival, I had thought about it and here I am. I'm glad I came. I was able to confirm it."

She couldn't believe she was hearing this. Does this mean he… to her…

"What? What did you confirm?"

"That I love you Daidoji-san, didn't I make it obvious?"

She was just too happy to hear that she didn't care about her next action. She hugged him from behind and she felt tears threatening to fall down from her eyes. But they were the good kind of tears.

And that was how they were when the Ferris wheel cabin opened. They were too wrapped up in their own thoughts that none of them noticed that it was already time for them to get out. The people who saw them went from being surprised to being amused and to their utter disbelief, they actually clapped their hands! The moment Tomoyo realized the situation, she let go of Eriol, bowed her head to silently apologize for their behaviour, grabbed Eriol's hand and dragged him out of there because any minute now and she just might die from the embarrassment. Eriol was also shocked and a bit uncomfortable with everyone's attention but he quickly became amused at the very embarrassed raven-haired beauty at his side who was all red now instead of her usual pink blushes and was grabbing him with a force uncharacteristic for the Daidoji. He could faintly hear, "What a beautiful couple!", "They look perfect for each other!", "My, my, did we just embarrass them? But they were so cute!" and similar comments while they were running away and that made him very pleased.

"Daidoji-san, I think this is far enough." She managed to drag him all the way out of the amusement park and into the woods near it. She was so embarrassed, she didn't care that it was dark in there and only a couple of moon rays that went through the trees were giving light. She could just sit there and hide behind the tress until she was sure nobody is around anymore.

She can't even turn back to face Eriol now because all her calm exterior broke just a while ago. Geez, she could have a heart attack from this. Then she remembered how she hugged Eriol and she got more panicky that she was now alone with him after all that. What would she say?

And then she heard him laugh. He was laughing so hard, she was tempted to throw something at him! But then, she turned around and saw him making a lame effort in holding his laughter. Hands in his stomach and laughing like he was the only person in the world. It was a very rare and beautiful sight. Come to think of it, this was the first time she ever saw him like this. She didn't even think she could witness this side of the always calm and cool sorcerer. Never mind that she was most probably the reason of his amusement, but she decided she loves the sound of his laughter so she will forgive him for this.

"I'm sorry," he managed to say between his mirth. By now, his left hand was leaning on a nearby tree for support. "It's just that…" he calmed down a little, just a bit. "You look like a very panicky troubled child right now, Tomoyo and I was just more than a little surprised how you can turn so red and run so fast. It was a very pleasant surprise."

She thought she'd say a clever retort to that but she noticed something else. "Tomoyo?"

"What?"

"You just called me Tomoyo."

"I love you." He just had to say that again. Those words coming from him that made her feel like the happiest girl alive. She was so speechless she was just standing opposite of him and staring at him like he was just a dream.

"Do you know you look very cute right now?" He came closer and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.

"You are saying very embarrassing things."

"Ah but you seem to like it."

"I love you too."

She felt herself smiling. She loves this man and she feels so happy he returned the feeling. Then he hugged her and she felt both of them were content at the moment and the ray of moonlight illuminating their spot makes it more magical. He looked her in the eye while his arms were still around her. She was even happier now that she was receiving the kindest eyes of Eriol.

"I know."

But that was a little too arrogant to her liking.

"What do you mean you know? I tried so hard hiding it."

"Maybe, but not hard enough. I could still see your faint little blushes every time I go near you. You wouldn't believe how that made me happy. I could feel a slight little tremble every time you accept my hand. I could feel those soft little gazes you give me. You are my business here Daidoji, I make it a point to notice all these things." She really was starting to get slightly irritated with that beautiful smile.

"You've gotten very arrogant Hiragizawa-kun."

"Only because I have you."

She blushed.

"I like it when you blushed. You're very beautiful."

She felt all her blood rushed to her face. "Right. You're having fun teasing me. And I'm starting to hate that smile, mind you?"

"But you love me."

"You're impossible!"

"So can I call you Tomoyo?"

"Nnm." She nodded. "Which means I can call you Eriol, yes?"

"Hai." And he leaned his head so their foreheads were touching. "And can I kiss you again Tomoyo?"

She was a little surprised. But she just nodded shyly. He took Tomoyo by the chin with his right hand, tipped her head gently upward to let her lips meet his. This time the kiss was longer and more lingering.

Meanwhile on the amusement park, two persons were really surprised at the turn of events. The girl and the boy were happily taking a stroll in Tomoeda when they happened to see two familiar faces together. The girl was about to call the both of them but the boy quickly stopped her and asked her to just leave them. The girl was asking him why, looking very confused so the boy suggested if she wants it, they could follow them. He was a little bit curious about the two anyway. The girl hesitated for a moment but she decided to agree but added only for a while.

And then they found themselves in the amusement park spying an unusual couple who looked like they were enjoying their date. It was very confusing because they didn't know the two of them were this close let alone be in any kind of relationship. The boy and the girl just didn't have the heart to disturb the two of them so they maintained their distance from them, enough so they could see the odd couple but somewhere they wouldn't be noticed.

And then the odd couple went inside the ferris wheel so the boy and the girl decided to give up following them with thoughts that they will surely know about this soon. It was a good thing though that they lingered around the area because they wondered about the whispers they were hearing about a beautiful couple and a sudden applause from the surrounding area. They were following the gazes of the people and that's how they came to see a very flustered Tomoyo hastily dragging a very amused Eriol away from the crowd.

The boy and the girl attempted to follow but the odd couple quickly got out of their sight. No matter how they think about what just happened, they couldn't make any sense out of it. Tomoyo and Eriol? What just happened?

The girl got worried about the troubled look on Tomoyo but the boy told her that even though he didn't like that guy much, he was sure Eriol will take good care of Tomoyo. The girl shifted from looking worried to happily agreeing with him which made the guy blushed because he was receiving the most amazing smile from this girl who was his number one. The guy blurted out taking a ride on the ferris wheel in which she immediately responded by holding his hands and happily dragging him there. He should thank that odd couple for giving him this opportunity to have an unexpected date with the girl he liked the most. Of course, he will never say that out loud to that arrogant sorcerer and especially to Tomoyo who would definitely tease him about this. But now he has something to say about her too.

Eriol was walking Tomoyo home when he noticed Tomoyo in deep thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm just thinking of how I'm going to explain all this to Sakura-chan."

"I don't think you need to explain so much."

"What do you mean?"

"After all, Sakura-chan and my cute descendant were following us around everywhere in the amusement park."

Tomoyo was taken aback. She didn't know about this. Of course, he was the sorcerer. He would notice.

"Why didn't you say anything about it? When? Why were they following us?"

"It was right from the beginning I think. As for their reasons, I think they were just curious."

"From the beginning? Then, everything? The fe…ferris wheel! How about the, the… in the woods?"

And he just looked at Tomoyo and smiled a very big smile that was amazingly both heart-racing and annoying.

"ERIOL-KUN!" She glared at him.

And he was just having so much fun with the angry annoyed Tomoyo. He saw many sides of her this day and he loves all of them. He was happy.

And it's over. Done as promised! Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. It felt so good finishing a fic. :) But wait, I had some idea. It's a sidestory! Just something that suddenly popped in my head like a light bulb. I'll make it first and post it shortly after I post this one.
