Summary: When Eriol comes back after 3 years, his memories of Clow Reed
return, but it's not a good thing. When he remembers something in Clow's
memory, he forgets something from his own. But a fatal accident leaves him
in amnesia and worse, he forgets Tomoyo. My very first CCS fic. Enjoy,
though I write like a total emotionless being so bear with me. E+T

"Tadaima,"
His voice echoed throughout the walls of the classroom he missed so much. It has been three long and much-awaited years since the indigo-haired boy left, and yet, here he is again, back in Tomoeda.
He considered each of the familiar smiles his home, all grown up after so long. He couldn't take the yearning and cries of his heart and eventually came back after all. Although Kaho warned him before they left London that something might happen when he comes back to Japan, he insisted for he had missed his friends so.
Everyone was so glad to see Hiragizawa Eriol as he stood there, bowing politely.
"Eriol-kun!" Sakura Kinomoto stood up from her chair, smiling blissfully. "It's been such a long time.." Her emerald eyes lit up with joy, Eriol hardly recognizing her as the Card Mistress he knew three years ago. Sakura has grown into such a lovely young woman, her brown hair grew well below her shoulders.
"It's nice to see you," Eriol replied, smiling back at her. He looked around as the rest of his old friends crowded him, fussing everywhere. Li Shaoran has grown taller as he greeted Eriol with a nod.
Just then, he noticed a girl coming in the crowd as he faced her. "Daidouji- san," he greeted, bowing politely. Tomoyo smiled at him familiarly, her long grayish hair cascading down her shoulders. Her eyes have sparkled into a beautiful purple, face now blossomed into a lovely flower.
"Hiragizawa-kun, welcome back." She smiled once more, her angelic voice changed into a more magnificent tone.
Eriol nodded. "I've missed you so."
That statement made Tomoyo pause. Did he mean it literally, specificly for her or just a friendly greeting? Her face reddened, realizing how much she's been waiting for this day to come. Eriol turned to the rest of his classmates, much to Tomoyo's disappointment. If only he knew how much she missed him..
The bell then rang when Sakura walked up to Tomoyo, who was sketching yet another costume for her best friend.
"You know I can't fight anymore, Tomoyo-chan. The Clow Cards are now safe with me," she told her considerately.
Tomoyo looked up at her as she stood up. "Okay," she sighed, trying to hide the disappointment in her tone while the both of them walked out of the classroom.
'Eriol-kun has finally came back,' Tomoyo thought as she and Sakura were on their way home. 'But he hasn't changed at all..'
"Tomoyo-chan," Sakura spoke. Tomoyo snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her absent-mindedly."Y-Yes?"
"Aren't you happy Eriol-kun came back?" she asked, a bit worried since Tomoyo wasn't pleased at all today.
"O-Of course," she replied, then faced the ground. "It's just that he.. he doesn't seem to notice me anymore."
Sakura knew how she felt. Ever since Eriol moved to London three years ago, Tomoyo couldn't take him out of her mind for some reason. Now that he's back, she should be happy..right?
"See you tomorrow, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura walked in her house as Tomoyo waved good-bye. "Hai, see you."
Tomoyo strolled down the road, moving on as the blue sky turned orange. When she passed by a clearing, she stopped as she found herself gazing at an endless horizon with a beautiful sunset that took her breath away. She couldn't wipe the smile on her face, admiring it's beauty.
"Pretty--"
"Daidouji-san?" a voice interrupted. Tomoyo quickly turned around and saw Eriol standing before her, carrying his schoolbag. He smiled. "What are you doing here?"
"I should be the one to ask you," she replied, raising an eyebrow.
"I-I was just on my way home but.." he said, looking around the corners with a small piece of paper at hand.
Tomoyo smirked. "You're not lost are you?" she asked.
Eriol laughed, smiling at her meekly. "Am I that transparent?"
She extended her hand and took the paper from Eriol. She read the address and grinned, "I don't blame you. You've been gone for three years, so it's no wonder."
"So can you help me?"
Tomoyo nodded. "It's just near my house. We can go there together," she replied.
Eriol sighed in relief. "Thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have wandered all over Tomoeda all night," he said as he moved out of the way. "Will you lead me then?"
Tomoyo walked first as Eriol followed close by. The sun was going down and it was getting really dark when they arrived at the park. "We just have to pass through and we'll be there," Tomoyo assured him. She stepped in the woods boldly, but deep inside, she was afraid. She has never been through the park this late before.
"Daidouji-san, you okay?" asked Eriol suddenly. Tomoyo turned to him, trying to hide the shakiness in herself. "H-H-Hai.." she squeaked. Eriol smiled as he walked closer to Tomoyo and put his arm for her to hold. She looked at him with a confused expression in her face.
"It's alright, I'm here for you." He reassured her.
Eriol's kindness sank all of Tomoyo's pride that she couldn't help but blush. Lucky for her, it was too dark to see. "B-But--" she tried to reconsider, but Eriol held her instead. The physical contact sent Tomoyo's heart pounding.
"Is it okay if I hold you like this, Daidouji-san?" he asked kindly, their arm wrapped on the other's.
She couldn't resisit. Just a while ago, Tomoyo wanted to get through the park as quick as she could, but now, she didn't want it to end. "S-Sure," she stuttered.
A while passed as they walked on when Tomoyo spoke. "Hiragizawa-kun, can you tell me about London?" she asked.
Eriol looked up at the sky filled with twinkling stars. He smiled. "London is nothing compared to Tomoeda, Daidouji-san. The sky here is much more clear and--"
"No, I meant, tell me about your school and friends." Tomoyo interrupted.
Eriol blinked. "Ah," he replied and thought for a while. "They're really nice. We usually hold sessions so we can get to know each other better."
"Oh," Tomoyo nodded slightly. "Are you planning to go back?"
The boy looked at her, confused. "Do you want me to?"
"Chigau! It's not like that at all," she replied immediately, letting go of Eriol's arm. "It's just that you've been gone for so long that I couldn't imagine you coming back anymore. I was waiting.."
Eriol's eyes grew softheartedly. He took Tomoyo's hand as she just looked at him in awe. "But I'm here, aren't I?"
Tomoyo flinched. She knew deep down he was right..very right indeed. Eriol was right here in front of her, right at this moment..and nothing could ever change that.
"Promise me that you'll show up everyday, okay?" she asked.
He smiled. "Yeah.."
At last, they made it out the park. They could see Eriol's house and Tomoyo's house not so far away. They walked and reached Eriol's gates. "I thank you very much, Daidouji-san," he said as he went in the Hiragizawa residence. "Are you sure you don't want me to escort you to your home? It's not that far."
Tomoyo smiled, shaking her head. "I'll be okay now," she replied as she began to walk. "See you tomorrow, Hiragizawa-kun."
Eriol watched her leave, making sure she'll make it safely. When Tomoyo went around the corner, he also walked in his house.
"Master, I'm really sorry for not fetching you!" Nakuru boomed, bowing repetitively. "I'm sooooo sorry Master! It won't happen again!" Her eyes were getting moist from her baka-ness as Kaho and Spinel came in.
"Eriol," she said, surprised but also happy to see him safe. "Are you hurt in any way? Who helped you come home?"
Eriol smiled awkwardly. "I'm alright. Daidouji-san lives nearby so we went home together," he replied.
Spinel flew to his shoulder, sighing a wave of relief. "Thank goodness, Master. Miss Kaho was getting really worried and.."
Suddenly, Eriol felt his head ache. He knelt down to the floor as Spinel floated into the air. Kaho immediately rushed to his side. "Eriol! Eriol.." she said, trying to calm him down. Nakuru watched in terror; it was rare for her master to experience a head ache.
"Clow Reed.." he murmured, clutching his head tightly in immense pain.
"What is it about him?" Kaho asked, struggling to contain Eriol's aching.
After then, Eriol slowly let go of his head, sweating and gasping for air. "I..I could see it," he began. "His memory is coming back to me.."
His three companions gasped. "N-No.." Kaho pleaded. "I was afraid this day would come."
They then put Eriol to his room so he could rest. Kaho nervously walked to Spinel and Nakuru, who were also very afraid. "If he constantly remembers everything about Clow Reed, he will lose all his memory as Hiragizawa Eriol," she bagan. "No..not this time. This was the whole reason why we had to go to London, in order for Eriol to forget."
"B-But what happens if Master Clow Reed's memory is fully recovered by Master Eriol?" asked Nakuru, trembling in fear.
Kaho paused for a while, then replied, "Hiragizawa Eriol will vanish."
