Chapter III: CUTS AND HURTS
The two were walking silent on the road with very beautiful scenery, a sky with rosy colour and the wonderful sunset. When they were nearer on the Daidouji gate, Tomoyo was out of balance and stumbled. She tried to stand up again but she can't so she just sat up and found that she was wounded. Eriol kneeled immediately in front of her when he saw it.
"Daijoubu desuka? (Are you alright?)" he asked worriedly.
Tomoyo nodded. "... It's just a little bit prickling," she informed her as she blew on the wound.
"Can you stand?" he assured. Tomoyo tried again but she really can't.
Her face showed a little gloomy, "I can't."
"Daijoubu (It's alright), I'll just carry you home," he notified sounded enthusiastic.
"WHAT?! No! You don't need to! I'll just call one of my – " before she could finish, Eriol already placed his left arm behind her kneecap and his other arm on her back. Eriol got up carefully trying not to lost his balance, and when he already got to his feet, he glanced at the lass and smiled, "Too late, my dear."
Tomoyo looked at him astonished while Eriol moved towards the gate. "Could you please ring the doorbell for me?" he pleased.
Tomoyo pressed the doorbell and the whole Daidouji mansion rang. A woman in blue dress with raffles opened up the door. She was shocked of what she saw and ran towards the entrance to open them up.
"What happened to mistress Daidouji?" the maid asked.
"Daijoubu desu (I'm alright), Kari-san," the heiress tried to calm down the woman.
"Yeah, it's just a wound," Eriol added but Kari reacted.
"Just? Just?! It's a wound and you can't say that it's JUST a wound!" Kari stated disgustedly, emphasizing the word 'just' as they strolled to the front door. "We don't let anything happened to Miss Daidouji. We're caring her more than we do to ourselves!" she attached.
"I know, but it's an accident!" Eriol defended.
"Kari-san?" the lass began.
"Yes, Daidouji-san?" Kari rejoined as she went nearer to the girl.
"Would you please open the door for us?" Kari looked behind her and found the closed door.
"Oh, sure! Gomenasai (Sorry)," the maid apologized then opened the door and they came in. Eriol laid Tomoyo down at the sofa, but instead of staying on her position, she changed it as she sat down.
"Wait here. I'll get the medicine kit," the maid hurried to the medicinal room. The maid came back with medicine kit on her hands. "Here," she handed over the box to Eriol and when Eriol was already handling it, he rapidly genuflected in front of the sitting angel. Kari went back to the kitchen to continue her left work. He put out cotton, a piece of cloth, and a medicine for her cut. Pure blood red was running down on her pearl skin. He wiped it first then poured some of the antidote on the cotton and touched lightly the cut. Eriol felt that Tomoyo hurt a little so he blew also on the injury.
"Sorry if you get hurt. Don't worry, it'll just take a minute," he told her. He dabbed again it. "Ouch!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she hold the area near the cut on her knee. Eriol placed his hand instantly over Tomoyo's just to calm her down. His hand was over hers now, and then he just smiled on her. Tomoyo was shocked but Eriol paid his attention back to the cut again and blew it once more. There was a sudden pinch in Tomoyo's heart. She blushed for a second and stopped it also swiftly, putting in her mind that MAYBE, she's just not used to him.
"There it's just for a short time, told ya," Eriol's voice snapped her out from her thoughts and found him pasting a band aid on her knee (awww... how sweet...). She didn't even notice the last dab that Eriol made. The maid came back to clean up. Eriol stood up and sat beside the heiress.
"Daidouji-san?" he spoke up looking up to her again.
"Yes?"
"Aren't you need to take a nap?" he reminded her.
"Oh, yes... I completely forgot about that," she answered giving a trace that she's not sleepy anymore.
"Your sleepiness and tiredness seems gone now," he concluded.
"I think so." Silence followed them. Tomoyo still can't feel her lethargy. Eriol can't stand it for being so quiet so he started to talk again.
"Daidouji-san, may I ask something?" he began, still not tearing his gaze at her and sat nearer on the heiress.
"What is it?" Tomoyo glanced at him and her amethyst eyes met his sapphire ones.
He smiled, "About the festival, were you the only delegate of 2nd year junior high?"
A shake of a head was her answer, "iie (no). Yonekura-san explained me that they'll choose more. Naze? (Why?)"
"Nandemonaina (Nothing)." Minutes passed by and the two were firm in their silence. Tomoyo's sleepiness came back and fell asleep (at last!). But, she fell over Eriol's shoulder. Eriol's heat skipped a beat. He looked down at the sleeping 'amethyst girl'. He beamed, seeing her sleeping softly. He also touched her tresses, feeling the smoothness. But then, he pulled himself on being 'absent-minded'. He rested her down first and went to the kitchen to asked Kari if he could go upstairs and bring Tomoyo to her bed.
"Yes, but I'll go with you. I can't trust anyone for Daidouji-san, especially for a boy like you," Kari stated as she made it clear.
"Okay, but take note that I'm not that kind of person," he defended.
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes.
The two entered the living room and Eriol carried Daidouji heiress upstairs. Kari unbolted the door to Tomoyo's room. Eriol came in and placed the girl on her bed. Kari covered the lass with a blanket and afterwards, they walked out. Across Tomoyo's room was a music room. Eriol could see what's inside because the door was slightly opened.
"Can I stay there in the music room for a minute?" he asked permission to Kari while pointing at the subject.
"Sure, as long as you don't enter on Daidouji-san's room," she acknowledged giving him a sharp-as-a-knife look.
"I won't..." he replied honestly.
"Okay then, I'll go downstairs now," she was still hesitating at the guy.
Eriol went inside the music room and found pictures and posters of different Japanese singers and musicians on the light blue wall. He also noticed different musical instruments placed on the sides of the wall, and also an organ at the center with a microphone and its stand beside it. He gently pulled the seat on the organ and sat on it. He opened the cover and set his hands over the keys. Later on, he pressed one of them and played a piece. It's a very beautiful song. When he finished, a clapped was heard coming from the door. "Daidouji-san!" he exclaimed as he stood up from his seat.
"That's wonderful Hiiragizawa-kun. And please, stay on your place," she remarked as her black shiny curls lay on her chest, behind her ears.
Eriol sat down, "Gomenasai (Sorry)... I'm sorry for waking you up and using this without your permission."
"That's okay. Actually, I was already awake a while ago. And as for using that, no one's really playing that after all," she explained as she walked towards him and sat beside the lad. "I don't even know for whom was that because nobody here in Daidouji mansion knows how to play that," she added.
"Hontou (Really)? Even your mother?" he assured eyeing again the girl.
"Hai (Yes)," she politely answered.
"How about your dad?" he interrogated again.
"Otou-san? (Father?)... Oh yes, he knows how," she rebut smiling brightly. That's what Eriol really wants to see, but the angel's beam suddenly disappeared. "But okaa-san (mother) bought that right after dad died," she attached.
"Your dad? Already died?" Tomoyo just nodded sadly.
Eriol glanced at the window with a cheerless look on his face, "So your dad left you also..."
Tomoyo looked at him confusedly and curiously, "Also? Why? You too?"
He nodded this time gazing at the piano. Tomoyo could see that he was sadder than her. "Don't worry Hiiragizawa-kun, you'll get pass through it." Eriol stared at her, his sapphire eyes now looks like cold ice, it was... freezing. "Please, free you heart and mind from hatred and revenge. You know, you might hurt someone," Tomoyo pleased with her crystalline amethyst eyes.
"How – How'd you say that?" Eriol asked surprisedly.
"Hiiragizawa Eriol with ice cold eyes... That's very different."
Eriol flushed a little smile then replied, "Okay, I will... And now I know why everyone loves you."
S-A Ghurl: Hey everyone... Is it okay? Is it good? Please tell me! Got to go now! Sayonara! Ja ne!
