    13 "Hiiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo scolded, returning Eriol's selection to the wall

    14 rack, "you're impossible. Why can't we just get her chocolate, like

    15 everyone else?"

    16 

    17 Eriol favored Tomoyo with that special smile he reserved for those times

    18 when he was planning something genuinely diabolical and therefore needed to

    19 look as innocent as possible. "Not impossible, Tomoyo-san. Merely

    20 difficult. Everyone gives chocolate on Valentine's Day in Japan--wouldn't

    21 you rather do something special for Sakura-san?"

    22 

    23 Eriol knew it to be a mistake the moment he said it. As soon as the word

    24 /Sakura/ passed his lips, Tomoyo once again got that far-off look of

    25 orgasmic pleasure that meant she was visualizing Sakura in something

    26 frilly, handmade, and probably better left at Victoria's Secret if it

    27 weren't fitted for a teenager.

    28 

    29 Sure enough, Tomoyo whirled and clasped her hands together, declaring,

    30 "Before, when she was capturing and mastering the Clow Cards, there were so

    31 many different outfits I could've made for her! Why, there was this one I

    32 made that one year--"

    33 

    34 Eriol waited for Tomoyo's gushing description to end, a patient and

    35 indulgent smile on his face. "And now that it's long over," he said in an

    36 attempt to steer the conversation back on track, "what should we get her?"

    37 

    38 Tomoyo tapped thoughtfully at her chin, looking around the store. "I don't

    39 know," she said with such despair that she sounded as if she were

    40 confessing to a double-murder. "The problem is, anything we buy her will

    41 just embarass her."

    42 

    43 "Undoubtedly," he agreed cheerfully. "So then, what about this one?"

    44 

    45 Tomoyo shook her head firmly. "Too plain. It would never do for her."

    46 

    47 "And this?"

    48 

    49 Another shake, side-to-side. "No, that shade of green is wrong for her.

    50 What about this?"

    51 

    52 Eriol halted in his tracks for a moment, thinking. "No," he said after a

    53 brief pause. "We're on the right track, but it's too glittery."

    54 

    55 "But Sakura-chan /likes/ glitter!" Tomoyo protested.

    56 

    57 "Oh yes," Eriol said with a winning smile. "But I think perhaps this is

    58 the wrong occasion. On the other hand..." His eyes wandered over to another

    59 section of the store. Tomoyo immediately saw what he'd spotted, and her

    60 eyes glazed over. "Oh, that's perfect! Absolutely /perfect!/

    61 Hiiragizawa-kun, we absolutely have to get that for her, it's just the

    62 right shade of pink, and she will completely /die/ over it!"

    63 

    64 Eriol winced at the volume of Tomoyo's voice, and hooked his arm in hers

    65 to guide her in the right direction. It took some work, since she was busy

    66 bouncing up and down and generally attracting attention with her

    67 exclamations. Laughing gently, he picked up the item in question, and

    68 turned it on. It gave off faint buzz, which died after a few seconds.

    69 "We'll have to buy batteries, of course."

    70 

    71 "Oh, don't you worry about that," Tomoyo said with the gleam of rapture in

    72 her eyes. "I have plenty of those."
