"Are you sure you want to leave Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked again. She cried as she hugged her best friend with the violet eyes and hair.

"Yes, there are too many painful memories here," Tomoyo replied softly. 'Of you...'

"I'll miss you soooo much Tomoyo-chan!!!!! Don't go!!!" Sakura cried out again. She didn't want to let her friend go to England!

"I'll miss you too," Tomoyo said. "Its just that...I want to go to the fashion boutiques there to work," she lied. She looked over at the brown-haired youth that was her best friend's husband. "Take good care of her, Li-kun," she mouthed silently.

"May Flight 112 passengers to England please approach the gate," a voice announced.

"Well, that is my cue, I'll miss you Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said, trying to keep her voice from cracking.

"We'll come visit as soon as possible!!" Sakura said, trying to act cheerful. "Won't we, Syaoran!" She backed up to her husband and waved.

"Syanora, Sakura-chan, Li-kun," Tomoyo said softly, tears coming to her eyes.

"Syanora, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said sadly. She buried her head in Syaoran's shoulder, weeping.

"Syanora, Daidouji-san," Syaoran said. "I will take good care of her, Daidouji-san, forever. Just like you' he mouthed back to her.

Tomoyo smiled and turned her back to ascend onto the plane.

"We have arrived in England, may all First Class passengers please descend from the plane," the pilot's voice sounded. Tomoyo rubbed her eyes, and prepared to go to a new land with no memories for her, England.

Tomoyo got off the plan, and then she was flagged down by a brown haired girl with cheery eyes. "Tomoyo-chan!!! Okari!! (sp?)" she said genkily.

"Who are you?" Tomoyo asked quietly. She looked familiar, so so familiar.

"It's me, Nakuru!!" the girl said loudly. "Can't ya remember me, Tomoyo-chan!"

"OHH!! NAKURU-SAN!! How did you know I was going to be here!!" she said, suddenly remembering. Then, she remembered the handsome English boy that had lived in Tomoeda for a short while. 'So much for new memories'

"Master informed me!" Nakuru replied.

"Konnichiwa, Daidouji-san," Eriol said softly.

"Konnichiwa, Hiiragizawa-kun! How did you know I was coming here?" Tomoyo asked.

"I still can see visions from the future," Eriol replied.

"Ahh...you've changed so much," Tomoyo said. The once cute boy she had known had transformed into a handsome man. He still had the blue hair, the glasses, but something seemed manly about him. (a/n: Yet, he still had those kawaii bangs!)

"You've changed so much as well," Eriol said to her. The woman had an essence about her that was astounding. She was, a goddess of being beautiful, like Aphrodite.

"You have to stay over for the night, ok ok?!?!" Nakuru encouraged. "She can, right Eriol-sama!"

"Of course..." Eriol said cheerfully. "I haven't talked to you for a long time, and would like to know what has been happening in Tomoeda."

Even at the mention of the name, Tomoeda, Tomoyo's face sadded. She remembered that her best-friend, Sakura, was married. She had loved Sakura more than a friend, yes, but she was to happy for happiness to let it out.

Noticing the sad look on her face, he said, "Or we can talk about other things!" Eriol said enthusiasitically. 'Still said about Sakura-san I guess,' he thought to himself. 'I'll make her feel better.'

"I'd love to come, Hiiragizawa-kun! If it isn't intruding..." Tomoyo said softly.

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's go!" Nakuru said, unaware of the sad and serious atmosphere.

"That was a wonderful meal, Hiiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo complimented, wiping her mouth delicately.

"Arigato," Eriol said. 'She still looks sad'

"You MUST stay the night, onegai!?" Nakuru said happily."She wont' stay the night with you around," Spinel cut in.

"Shut up Suppi-chan!! Where's the sugar bowl???" Nakuru said evilly.

"Who's Suppi-chan? And I hit the sugar bowl!" Spinel replied.

"..." Tomoyo still wondered how they could be warriors and be so childish.

"So...Daidouji-san, are you willing to stay over? The Engliand hotels here are very far away, and it would be nice," Eriol said.

"Don't worry...I-I-....*yawn* I'm not that tired," Tomoyo said sleeplily.

"Are you sure?" Eriol said."Yes," Tomoyo said firmly.

"Well, let's talk a little while before you leave, ok?" Eriol asked quietly.

"Suppi-chan, I want you to see my new dress!!" Nakuru said suddenly.

"I don't wanna see-" Spinel started complaining but Nakuru grabbed him and ran upstairs.

"Of course, I haven't seen you for a long time, Hiiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo replied.

"Please, call me Eriol-kun," Eriol requested.

"Ok, then you can call me Tomoyo-san," Tomoyo said, smiling for the first time.

"So, Tomoyo-san, what brings you to England?" Eriol asked.

"A new life, new memories," Tomoyo replied, going back to her depressed state. "How's Mizuki-sensei?"

Eriol noted that she was still sad, but remembering the name of his beloved was too much. "Kaho...Kaho...passed away," he said softly. He remembered the day, and he would cry about it every so often.

"Gomen...I didn't mean to bring her up," Tomoyo said worriedly.

"No...what comes...comes," Eriol said, fighting the tears rising.

"Gomen...I know how you feel," Tomoyo said suddenly, with tears streaming down her cheeks. She let out all the pain that had happened over the years, unknowingly caused by her dear Sakura-chan.

"I-I-...I-..." Tomoyo cried more and more. Eriol felt pity for her, and took her in his arms.

"It seems neither of us were meant to be truly happy with the ones we love," Eriol said wisely. Soon, his own tears got the better of him...

"But we are here, to comfort each other," Tomoyo finished.

After a few minutes, Tomoyo fell asleep in Eriol's arms. Eriol chuckled, 'not staying here, eh?' He slowly took her up in his arms, and brought her to his room. She laid Tomoyo down on her bed, briefly looking at her angelic beauty. Shaking his head, he went down to go to sleep on couch downstairs.

Tomoyo woke up in the middle of the night, suddenly shaken. She was having a horrible dream where Syaoran had killed Sakura. She sat up, and noticed the rich blue covers that were around her. She noted that all the pictures around them were with Kaho and Eriol together. They looked so serene, so beautific. The pictures were endless and she looked at the beauty of each of them. In the room, there were also pictures drawn by Eriol of gardens, forests, and of course, Kaho. She suddenly realized she was thirsty and she decided to go downstairs to get something to drink. 'Eriol-kun was always understanding...' she thought to herself, remembering what had happened previously.

She descended the stairs quietly, and as she passed bedrooms, she heard Nakuru moaning, "Touya-kun..." and Spinel Sun muttering the words, "Octopus balls, all mine!" Tomoyo chuckled...they were still the same guardians as before. She passed the living room and noticed that Eriol was sleeping there. Without his glasses, he looked incredibly cute and childish. Somehow, he was sleeping in a very funny position. His bangs hugged his face cutely, and he looked so serene. He had kicked off his blankets, and Tomoyo went up and put them back on.

"Tomoyo-san?" Eriol said sleepily.

"Hai, Eriol-kun? Did I wake you up?" she asked.

"Iie, I was born to do that, to sense when others are near me..." he replied assuredly. He sat up and said, "What brings you here?"

"I thought I would get something to drink, I had a bad dream," Tomoyo answered.

"Ahh...feel free to use anything in my manor, you are of course, a very dear friend," he said courteously.

"Arigato," Tomoyo said. She got up and got water. When she returned, Eriol was fast asleep again, still with no blankets.

Tomoyo sighed, and put the blankets on him. He really did look very cute when he was alseep! She hesitantly brushed the bangs out of his eyes.

"Tomoyo-san...don't leave!" Eriol said suddenly, very childishly.

Tomoyo opened her eyes wide, what was wrong? Eriol sat up and said, "My-my dream...I had...a...dream...Kaho...didn't die...she left me on purpose, by faking her death...and it was true!" Eriol sobbed.

"It's only a dream," Tomoyo reassured him.

"Iie, all my dreams come true..." he said dejectedly. "After all this time, I've been pining after somebody who left me on purpose?"

"Eriol-kun, at least she cared enough not to break it off directly," she tried to assure him again but he turned away.

"This hurts me even more..." he suddenly started to cry. Tomoyo sat down quickly, and Eriol hugged her, "she left me, she left me..."

Tomoyo didn't know what to do except hold Eriol in her arms, comforting him through the night. As dawn approached, they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
