Life of One of the Reincarnations
BianHu: Sooo.... WELCOME MINNA-SAN!!! Back to part 2 of this trilogy. This one is featuring Book 9 on Eriol's POV.
Spinel: Poor master...
BianHu: Ignore him. ^_^ Like I mentioned before, this is a sort of summary and because I didn't finish book 8's, I'll continue from there. This isn't very accurate either, what with direct translations and some made up parts...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I reached home as usual.
The gate seemed to have rusted a little. Or was it just a comparison of Clow's
memories and now? They sometimes confuse me.
Glancing over my shoulder, I proceeded to repair it, using a simple spell
invented by Clow.
"Tadaima, Spinel-san," I called out, opening the mansion's doors. Thinking back to earlier today when Yamazaki-kun and I made up a lie (actually, a creative story would be more appropriate) made me chuckle.
"Ohayo..." Spinel looked up from his book before going back.
Then his head snapped up as I removed my Tomoeda school coat. (Nothing R rated
here, readers. ^_^;)
"You've got magic surrounding your body," he commented.
Good 'ol Spinel!
"It's my cute little relative using an Eastern magic spell to find the owner of the coat I left to cover Sakura-san the other day."
"How dare he, using a spell on the great Clow himself!" Spinel
said in dry amusement.
"It is interesting, ne?"
"It will get more interesting," I grinned evilly and I swore my
trademark evil look was splashed across my face again.
And as usual, Nakuru would burst in when we were having these type of "bonding
talks"
"ERIOL!!! I'm baAaAck! You've got a parcel too!" she handed me the box she was carrying.
"Arigato, Nakuru. I think I'll just go ahead and open it." And I walked to the study, aka present unwrapping doom room.
The parcel? A box of chocolates. And the sender? Kaho...
The colour rose in my face as I remembered I hadn't given her anything.
So much for being the reincarnation of Clow. *sigh*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was officially White Valentines day. A Japanese day to repay all those who gave you presents on the actual Valentines.
I had woken up specially in the morning to send Kaho her White day present in the post office. (Did I mention I put a spell on it so it would find her faster?) Nothing like a good walk through Tomoeda! Though one could argue that a walk in the English meadows is quite pleasant too. Hmmm... decisions, decisions!
I then decided to go to the park for a while. Something told me I had to be there. Then again, another reason was to check on Sakura-san, her house being on the way.
Just as I rounded the corner, I saw her, bouncing on her toes and carrying what I guessed was her White day presents.
"Sakura-san!"
She spun around and smiled when she noticed it was me.
"Ohayo, Eriol-kun!"
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to give my White Valentines day presents to my
firends!"
You know, I saw that coming. I then put on my best "I'm-a-foreigner" look.
"White Valentines day? Is that the day to repay those people who gave you presents on the actual Valentines day?"
"Hai! Valentines is on the 24th February and the 24th March is
White Valentines day!"
We walked on a little more.
"Eriol-kun, do you have a Valentines day from where you come
from?"
Of course, my dear little half daughter.
"But it's a little different. Instead of the girls giving the boys chocolate, it's the total opposite."
"Hoe, does that mean you have never received presents before?"
Nani? That caught me by surprise! Now Eriol, keep calm...
"Iie, I have received them."
"Wow! How does she look like?"
Her image surfaced in my brain.
"She's ...very beautiful."
"I would like to meet that person!" Sakura-san squealed in delight.
We then went our different ways, she to meet (whom I suspected)
Daidouji-san and I to the park.
"You've already met her, Sakura-san." I couldn't help but saying out loud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I knew why I came to the park.
My other half was there, talking to what I would call Sakura-san's
great grandfather.
It could get a little soppy at parts... Like when Amamiya-san cried.
Suddenly, I felt a weird presence.
I turned my head and saw (from my sitting position on a tree branch) an angel. She was watching Fujitaka-san and the old man ever so tenderly. It then struck me that she was Sakura-san's mother, Fujitaka-san's wife.
So now I knew what other magic I was going to separate with to share with Fujitaka-san.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, Eriol, what are you going to do tonight?"
I was going to cause some "mayhem" again.
Hiding a smile, I replied innocently," Look above you!"
Ruby Moon looked up and a stuffed sheep plonked on her face.
"Sheep-chan kawaii desu!" Ruby squealed.
Spinel and I sweatdropped.
"So you're going to bury Sakura-san with sheep?" Spinel asked, looking down at the hole I made.
I observed the now on-coming gang of four, Daidouji, Syaoran-kun, Sakura-san and Cerberus. Sakura-san flew into the hole but Cerberus wasn't as lucky, hitting the shield I had set up. I then waved my staff.
"Bingo, Spinel-san."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
School, or as some put it, "The Dungeon everyone faces at least
once in their lives"
Not that it was remotely a "dungeon" right now. Having Gym didn't count, so did
basketball.
"Today we will have one on one basketball! May Li Syaoran and Eriol Hiiragizawa please come forward."
I stepped out, facing a rather dangerously angry Syaoran. Now wasn't that the inevitable?
Syaoran got a start on the ball.
No biggie, I snatched it from him just as he was about to shoot and swiftly
scored a goal.
The second time round, Syaoran got it again. I didn't snatch it
this time, but Syaoran missed the hoop anyway.
Why? Because he wanted someone to look up to him, someone in the crowd. Someone
with brown hair and green eyes. He wasn't concentrating.
He got the rebound and was about to throw when I stopped him.
"Calm down, think of scoring the goal, nothing but the goal," I
hinted, holding his hand back.
Then I let it go and he threw the ball.
Goal!
"If you can calm down, you'll become stronger," I hinted once again, before leaving to check on Yue's condition, feeling the fierce brown eyes drill into my back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yue's condition was worsening.
It was just amazing how he could recognize me so fast,
which gave me an idea for another trouble scheme...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A magic maze. (Get it? A-maze-ing? haha)
Daidouji got "trapped" and poor Sakura-san was nearly reduced to
tears.
Good thing she was good at cards and how to use them.
I mean, if I were her, I wouldn't have thought of the shadow, ne?
Smiling at her one last time through the window on my perch (tree branch), I nimbly jumped off and went home on foot.
"You're getting stronger,Sakura-san."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was art class.
I had a hard time trying to draw, doing my best not to make it too professional.
Yes readers, welcome to still-life.
"Wow! Eriol-kun, it's very real!"
"Thank you, Sakura-san."
I painted some more before hearing a scream. Then I felt Yue's aura, disappearing, hollow, almost.
Sneaking round to a corner, I released my staff and jumped onto a nearby tree, overseeing the whole process of Touya's transferal of energy to Yue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BianHu: FINALLY!!! My fingers are all achin'!
Nakuru: Sheep-chan kawaii desuuuu!!! *hugs sheep tightly*
BianHu: -_-; the next chapter will have a little of book 11 and the rest of book 12. Book 10 isn't fun to summarise. : (
