To the story now.


She got home that day still in turmoil. Since when did he know about her secret?, and if he knew for so long, why didn't he say anything?.. She opened the door of the apartment and found Sakura an Syaoran watching TV.

"hi.." they all said one after the other.

Sakura still wasn't smiling, but at least she wasn't crying.

"how are you feeling Sakura??" looking straightly at her. No point in making her heart ache if looking at him.

"Ok.. I guess" she sighed "they haven't returned yet" meeting Tomoyos eyes, tears threatening to spill in any second.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been very helpful" said Tomoyo looking at the floor.

"no Tomoyo! You have. Is just that there's not much to do" said Syaoran this time.

"have you found anything else... did ... did you talked to Eriol?" this part she said carefully looking in Sakura's eyes once more.

"We did.. he told us to be patient.. that he was sure 'she was going to make the right decision'.. I'm just still not sure of which card he was talking about" said Syaoran.

She nodded.. of course they would've talked.. he just wouldn't say anything.. or just, maybe say exactly what he did: 'I'm going to make the right decision' she said to her self.

"I'm going to sleep now.. good night" She then stopped mid way and looked at Syaoran "please take good care of her will you" a small sad smile on her face "and take care of your self too" kindness in her voice.

Both of them were looking at her with questioning eyes.

"What's wrong Tomoyo? Don't say silly things like that, you scare me" said Sakura with a nervous laugh.

"uhmm is just that, I've decided to Travel for a while... and well... I'm leaving tomorrow evening" .

"Where are you going?" it was now Syaoran that spoke, worried eyes "did something happen?".

"no.. no.. nothing happen. I just need to clear my head a bit, that's all" a weak smile "I'm going to England".

She had just finished saying the words when the room illuminated with Sakura's seal. The windows opened and a jolt of wind came in.

They looked at each other in amassment, Syaoran quickly standing and getting in a fitting position.

"NO! wait!" said Sakura while placing her hand on Syaoran's shoulder "they're coming back!" a smile on her face.

At that moment cards came flying thought the window and then started flying around them.

Sakura couldn't stop laughing she was so happy. Syaoran keep looking at her, a smile too on his face.

'this is how its suppose to be' thought Tomoyo a weak smile on her face, watching the whole scene.

One card was now in front of Sakura, she could sense it, it was Light, and it transformed to its humanly like figure, standing after in front of her.

Sakura smiled and looked at Light.

"I'm so sorry we made you cry mistress.. it all had to be this way" Light brought a hand to Sakura's face and caressed it softly.

"what do you mean?" concern in her eyes.

"you shall not worry about such things mistress, as we are here now and that's all that matters" said Darkness. She was standing behind them, apparently she had transformed while they were focusing on Light.

Sakura smiled at Darkness then looked at Light once again and smiled at her too "thank you.. I'm really happy that you're all back"

Light and Darkness transformed once more into cards and started revolving with the other cards, seconds later the cards gathered around Sakura and then started revolving around her. To that Sakura extended both her hands, the cards piling on top of them one over the other. As the last card placed it self on the pack the bright light that was illuminating the room faded and everything got back to normal.

Sakura turned around and looked at Tomoyo. Her friend was smiling too.

"I'm glad they're back Sakura".

"Me too" she said smiling even bigger and looking at the cards on her hands.

"but why did they leave? And what made them come back?? And what was all that about 'being this way'?" said Syaoran.

"it doesn't really matter now Syaoran, we'll find out sooner or later, the good thing is that they're back, they're really back" the smile still on her face.

He smiled, walked to her and hugged her.

"you right, we'll worry about that tomorrow"

Tomoyo took the opportunity to dismiss her self to her room, a small smile still on her face 'you work fast don't you Eriol?' took a deep breath.

She had made her decision, he had kept his promise, and she was not going to back down.

Eriol was seating in front of his flight gate, reading, or more accurately looking at the words on his book. Although he had read it a couple of times, and, well, loved it, he was not really into Dostoyevski at the moment, his mind was set in a purple haired woman, and, as much as he tried, he couldn't avert his thoughts from her.

"urggm" someone clearing their throat "so what exactly does this 'mine and only mine' thing imply?"

He looked up at her with a smile, a genuine smile. To this she smiled back. He quickly erased it returning to his normal grin.

"I thought you weren't coming" he said closing the book he was previously pretending to read.

"you kept you part of the bargain, so I had to keep mine" she said whipping the smile from her face as well

"so very true my dear.. but you mustn't worry it does not imply any obscure desires of mine"

"ohh no? so being 'mine and only mine'" mimicking his voice "is not obscure enough for you?"

"well it depends if you know the whole story"

"so.. are you going to tell it to me?" obviously tired of his mind tricks.

He stood up from his seat and walked close to her.

"no.." his hand caressing her cheek "well at least not at this moment" his breath tickling her face "we need to board a plane" his eyes looking at her lips.

She swallowed hard, she could clearly and vividly remember the last time they were this close and the mess it got her into; and she wasn't exactly thinking about yesterday.

He smirked. He noticed that this was obviously making her nervous.

"passengers for business class you may now start boarding" the stewardess

'oh thank you God!' she thought .

"so you care to tell me what it does imply?" she started walking to the gate, him fallowing close behind.

"well part of it implies you 'listening' " smile "to what ever I say"

"is that so.. so what am I now, your slave or something, or maybe just your shrink.. I do get you're nuts and all Eriol, but this is just going over board" then handing her ticket to she stewardess and smiling at her as she did so.

He laugh at this, not a chuckle, not a grin, a real laugh, one that reached his eyes.

"you are one funny woman Tomoyo".

"I was not trying to be funny".

She had reached her seat and know was buckling her seat belt. He sat next to her and did the same.

"I know. Just relax ok, we can worry about it tomorrow" looking at her with a dead serious face.

She looked up from her seat belt and meat his gaze. They stood like that for a couple of seconds none wanting to back down.

"you have no idea what you just made me do, don't you?"

He didn't answer.

"I just quit my job, which, by the way, my boss was not really happy for me doing on a Sunday and threaten to sue me. I left my apartment, my friends, my life.."

At this he interrupted, his tone low

"your life? Do you really call that life? Going to a job you hate every day"

She narrowed her eyes at him, anger felling her inside.

"yes hate, anyone can see that you don't love accounting. And working extra hours just for the heck of it, please! That's not a life"

"I needed the money!"

He looked at her raising his left eyebrow.

She looked down at her fingers, finding them really interesting at the moment.

"you don't go out, you don't hang out with your friends".

She looked at him and was about to object but he cut her off.

"other than Sakura or Syaoran" .

Closed her mouth and narrowed her eyes once more.

"you don't date anyone"

"I do too!"

"excuse me Mr. and Mrs. Hiragizawa could you keep you voices just a tiny bit lower" said the stewardess.

"oh no" nervous laugh "I'm not his... " Tomoyo began.

Eriol cut her of

"yes miss, we are so sorry" he said looking at the woman apologetically.

As soon as the woman was out of site Tomoyo hit him on the arm and started fighting in a low tone.

"why did you let her believe that I was you wife!?".

"does it make any difference if she believes it or not? besides lets not change subjects" he said calmly "the point is, you were not leaving much behind".

"How about my mother?".

He inhaled, not really wanting to talk about this at the moment, for her sake.

"Tomoyo, I well know she's been living in US ever since she married that German guy, who I know you hate, by the way. But that too is another story" he said that with closed eyes. He was fidgeting in his seat, trying to find the most comfortable position the leather seats could offer; so he couldn't quite see the sad expression that was now resting on her face, although he could clearly imagine it.

"Besides, you'll see.. you're going to love London" he had now stopped moving.

"yeah... yuppidi doo... London here I come" sarcastically, while looking out the window as the plane took off.


So that was it for this chapter, as things progress I promise it's going to get more interesting and the 'mine and only mine' will be clearer. Review!!!
