~Chapter 2~
"Ouff."
Eriol abruptly opened his eyes as he was awaken by something that unpleasantly bounced onto his stomach. He sat up from where he laid and realized he had landed onto a park with a big penguin slid in the middle of a round sand box. How long have he been asleep? For the hard bench soured Eriol's back where he had found himself laid. Rubbing his eyes sleepy, Eriol found the Clow Key hanging around his wrist, and a soccer ball at his lap.
"Where did this come from?" asked Eriol to himself as he realized that this particular toy awoke him.
"Hey!" called out a voice. Eriol averted his gaze to find a little boy running towards his direction.
"Could you return the soccer ball?" he asked.
"Here." Replied Eriol returning the object.
"Thank you."
Before the boy could run off to resume his game, Eriol quickly asked. "Could you tell me where I am."
The boy smiled. "You're a stranger, aren't you?"
"Yeah, you can say that."
"You're in Tomoeda Town." he announced proudly.
Eriol chuckled, "Could you tell me what day and year it is?"
The boy looked a bit confused but did what he was asked. Eriol thanked the boy for the useful information and saw him run off happily away to his friends that stood waiting afar. He sighed heavily and started to gaze around his surrounding. So he wasn't back to his normal past. Something must have gone wrong on the procedure or the Time Card had decided to play a trick on him.
Eriol closed his eyes in dismay. Here he was alone in a different time period, and without a place to go.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Eriol raked his midnight hair away from his azure eyes, as he walked along the crowded street at that busy town. He watched the distracted citizens come and go in a hurry pace. Girls about his age walking together while chatting. Little boys playing childish games with each other. Elder people sitting with their crowd enjoying the sun under the blue sky. Couples holding hands while whispering softly to each other in their bliss.
Nothing was different from Tomoeda he originally lived in. The technology, the emotions, the fashion, everything seemed to be the exact same reality.
"Everything except for Kaho."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Eriol stopped with the crowd as the red light for the pedestrian glowed brightly. He waited patiently for the cars to zoom by, for he was in no hurry, since there was no certain destination to head for. Looking away from the moving cars, Eriol's gaze was suspended onto a lonely figure that walked towards the middle of the street, apparently distracted in deep thoughts.
With eyes opened wide, Eriol suddenly saw the figure as being Kaho. His mind began to recall the accident where he had witnessed his own love being hit by a speeding car. Without thinking twice, Eriol pushed his was through the crowd of people in a hurry to save the lady that seemed oblivion of the danger she had gotten herself into.
"Kaho!!!" Eriol called out, desperately trying to call the lady's attention before it was too late.
Seeing that his shouts were futile, Eriol quickly reached out towards the figure as his arms wrapped around the delicate waste safely. Both bodies rolled away towards the sidewalk, just in time as the car zoomed by. Eriol feeling his arm pain by the fall, ignored his injury to looked down at the lady he had saved. Her long raven hair cascaded at her back, while her delicate hands grasped tightly around Eriol's back. Her face was buried onto his chest, as her body trembled in fear.
"Are you alright?" he questioned silently as the truth dawned into him, for the almost death situation made his mind confuse the young girl he held, with Kaho.
The lady slowly then pushed away as her face looked up to meet his azure pools. There she was, looking at him so innocently and guilty for the whole event. A smile managed to emerge on her soft fair skin, although her amethyst eyes still showed fear.
"Thank you for saving my life." she spoke in great gratitude.
Eriol smiled back before getting up from his feet and dusting himself. Although he smiled, the lady could see misery and sorrow in his handsome eyes.
"Your welcome." He spoke before turning away to join the crowd.
"Wait!" called the lady as she quickly got up to follow him. "What's your name?"
"My name isn't necessary." He replied as he kept walking.
"Of course it's necessary. Can't I know the name of the man who saved me?" she questioned with a smile.
Eriol sighed, "If you must know, I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa."
"Eriol Hiiragizawa." She repeated thoughtfully, "It's a nice name. I'm Tomoyo Daidouji." She spoke while trying to keep up with his pace.
Eriol suddenly winced, as a man accidentally bumped onto his figure as they walked pass each other. Tomoyo seeing his pain quickly noticed that his left arm was bleeding due to the fact that he saved her. Wanting to help, Tomoyo took from inside her pocket skirt a white handkerchief and slowly tied it around the bleeding injury. Eriol watched her fix his arm.
"There you go." Spoke the lady with a satisfied smile at her work.
"Thank you." spoke Eriol as his pain was a bit eased.
"It's the least I could do." Tomoyo replied, "By the way I'm willing to repay you a favor since you just saved my life."
"There's nothing you could do for me." Eriol spoke gloomily as the thought of Kaho gone made his heart sink.
"Come on, there must be something I could do." she insisted with a smile.
Eriol couldn't help notice how beautiful the lady looked when smiling so truthfully. He looked up to the sky and noticed gray clouds forming, that meant rain.
"Well, there is one thing I need." Eriol quickly spoke.
"Anything." Tomoyo assured.
"I need a place to stay, at least for a week or two."
"Easy. You're invited to my house." She concluded.
Eriol looked surprise. "Just like that?" he questioned, for he never knew such a gentle person could exist to invite a total stranger to their domain.
"Yes, just like that."
"And you trust me?" Eriol continued questioning.
"I do. For you can't be a bad guy when you just saved my life." explained Tomoyo smiling.
Eriol smiled back, impressed that such a lovely lady could be so optimistic of life and so warm hearted.
"Well we better hurry up, before the rain started to pour down." Spoke Tomoyo as she took Eriol's hand and pushed him along the street towards her house.
