Chapter 2 : The Past Comes
It was exactly 1:38 in the morning when Tomoyo stepped out of the bar. Steam of disgusting smoke emerging from some canal. Late is the hour in the Red-Light-District. She knew though that the party by Chiharu´s has not yet ended. She quickly drove to the mansion, slipping into her other clothings. It was around 2 in the morning when she found the location to where the party was being held. She stopped the car into a secluded area. Stepping out in her mini skirt and an ordinary shirt that had the logo of the Rolling Stones.
An entrance it was when she got inside the room. Chiharu seem too drunk to realize she was there. Her eyes so clouded from some alcohol she drank, and so was everybody else.
It was really fun to be older.
She laughed seeing Sakura and Syaoran sleeping on the couch, both open mouthed.
The music boomed from every corner, on some spots you can see wildly kissing couples, some are just plain talking or playing the billiard.
"Who do we have here? Daidouji-san. It has been long." Tomoyo didn't need to turn around to know to whom the voice belonged to. The excitement of meeting him again was big. But it did not etched her face when she turned around to see Eriol Hiiragizawa. All grown up, as handsomely and charming as ever. His trademark smile still grace his face, and Tomoyo almost melted away.
"Hiiragizawa-san? How have you been? When did you come back?"
He shook his head. "Fine, fine… Like what I said in the letters, which I might say, you were not answering. And as for my arrival, it was just this afternoon."
"I apologize, Hiiragizawa-san, I have a busy life." She put on her sweetest smile. "The business that my mother left me, is rather taking all my free time."
"I might forgive you, when you let me have this honor?" He said, offering his arm. "Your outfit suits you really well."
"Don't flatter me that much, Hiiragizawa-san, I might get spoiled… and this old things? Really now…"
"You should turn around, watch the eyes lying on the floor."
"Change of topic. How is Mizuki-sensei?" She asked, reaching for a beverage after they reach the stand.
"Fine, but busy with work." Eriol explained.
Tomoyo didn't think that there relationship would hold that far. "I see. So it has been you and her?" The hint of jealousy leaking off her words.
"Is that jealousy I hear?" He teased. "More importantly. Are you with someone? Now? Daidouji-san." He asked, voice full of interest.
"My my Hiiragizawa, still the nosy little boy are we?"
"Big boy.. Daidouji-san, Big."
AN: Short, I know.
