Prologue; Yoru
Autumn. Children running through the gates of grade schools just in time for their first period of the semester. Older youngsters doing the same. Leaves of maple and birch flying through the air as they escaped from the trees, landing maybe a few more feet away. A time of year dreaded by most.
But not by Hiiragizawa Eriol.
He loved this season more than anything. He loved to sit by the window in his mansion and watch the changing colours of nature whirling around together. Red, yellow, brown, green.
And he especially loved the beginning of school. You would think not, right? I mean, what 18 year old in their right mind would love the ending of summer and sit in a classroom for seven hours of day?
Well, that's Eriol for you.
I wouldn't say there wasn't a reason for his entusiasm about the new school semester, for there was. And that would be that he was starting at a new school. In Japan this time. With Daidouji Tomoyo. And Kinomoto Sakura. And his descendant, Li Syaoran.
He hoped they had all forgiven him for the Clow Reed buisness 6 years ago and shrugged it off. They must've by now. It had been six years, after all.
Eriol hummed on his way to school, hoping that Nakuru and Spinel wouldn't get into another fight while he was studying. He'd hate to come home to an almost torn down house.
In the gate of Aoi Secondary School Eriol's path was laid. He's humming silenced itself as he knocked on the door to his new classroom. A bright faced woman opened the door and showed him inside.
"Class." Tomoyo looked up, Yukishiro sensei had cleared her throat. Tomoyo threw a piece of paper at Sakura so that the green eyed girl also shifted her attention to the speaker. "We have a new student. His name is Hiiragizawa Eriol."
There were collective gasps coming from Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran at Sakura's right. Eriol-kun...? Why was he in Japan again?
Eriol flashed the students a bright smile before seating himself beside Tomoyo. "Hello." He whispered. She smiled weakly back before going back to her math assignment.
"OK, Hiiragizawa, what are you doing here?" Syaoran demanded, confronting Eriol through lunch in the cafeteria with Sakura and Tomoyo. "There's not new Card buisness, is there?"
Eriol shook his head. "No, why do you assume-"
"Because it always has to do with the Sakura Cards when you're around, Hiiragizawa-kun." Sakura said a bit more carefully than Syaoran had did, sitting down at one of the tables nearby. Tomoyo did so too.
"She's right."
"No, there's not new Card business." Eriol said more sharply. "I've moved here and would like to live here without trouble from you, Li." He sat beside Tomoyo and took a sip of his juice. "Will you agree on truce?"
But Eriol was wrong. There was new Card business. In long lost caves beneath Aoi Secondary School, there was light. From a tiny crystal in the dark.
Just as Eriol had stepped into the school grounds, the light had started glowing and was now consuming everything in one of the smaller caves. And out came a shadow. It took form. Of a woman with long wavy hair. Dark skin, dark eyes, dark hair. And she was Yoru Tomoyo, long preserved in the crystal since Clow Reed had sealed her there.
