~Chapter 3~
Eriol kept looking around his surroundings as Tomoyo guided him ahead to her house. The clouds were getting darker but that did not make them walk any faster. Curious and somehow peculiar, Eriol gazed carefully at a house which wasn't totally visible because of the tall trees. But soon they came to approach the mansion, making the gentleman realize that that peculiar house was of his own in his time period.
Surprised and in hopes, Eriol was eager to know if Kaho was living there with him, like she used to. The location, the scenario was different but he was completely sure that this mansion was exactly like his own. Not wasting time, Eriol stopped in front of the mansion's gates, while gripping onto Tomoyo's hand, which they still held, making the lady look back in confusion.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
Eriol smiled, "I guess I just found the location where a special person might be living in." he responded.
"So that means you found a place to stay in." concluded Tomoyo thoughtfully.
Eriol looked down at her, for a while he had thought he'd saw disappointment in her eyes, but yet again he was too distracted with the possibility of seeing Kaho again to really pay much attention.
"I guess, this means I could leave." Spoke Tomoyo.
Before she could retreat, Eriol tightened his grip around her hands, "No, not yet." He spoke. "I need you to stay for a bit longer, if you don't mind."
Tomoyo looked back to that soft expression on his face, she saw anxiety, but yet fear in his eyes. Tomoyo couldn't help but to smile back at him.
"Of course I'll stay."
"Thank you. Now for the harder part." Eriol spoke as he hesitated to press the doorbell.
He couldn't help to be nervous. He didn't know what to expect. There were so many possibilities that she might be living here or not. If she were, would Kaho by any chance remember him? So many unknown questions caused the gentleman to fear the consequences of being disappointed once again. He looked down at Tomoyo's encouraging smile and that somehow made him cozy inside. He smiled back and slowly returned his gaze towards the mansion.
With a sigh, he pressed the doorbell button and waited there standing for a reply. Every second that passed, Tomoyo could feel him tighten his grip around her hand, but to her surprise, Eriol looked so composed and calm. Tomoyo squeezed back his hand gently, assuring the gentleman that she was here to help and he understood by flashing her a smile, which did make the lady blush unknowingly.
"How may I help you?" spoke a male voice from the speaker that was attached to the gate walls.
Eriol pressed the button and spoke, "I'm looking for a lady called Mitsuki Kaho."
There was a small pause. "Sorry, there isn't anyone in this residence that goes by that name."
Eriol sighed in sadness, "Alright. Thank you."
Tomoyo watched him take another look at the mansion, with a longing desire inside of his eyes. He then slowly walked away, as Tomoyo followed behind.
"I'm sorry." Spoke Tomoyo.
Eriol looked at her and smiled, "No worries."
"Cheer up and let's go back home."
"Home." Eriol repeated silently, as the urge of going back to his own family members began to increase.
Funny how back then he did not give much attention to his domain, but now with the situation turned around, Eriol couldn't help but to feel homesick, wishing to return and find Kaho still there with his guardians.
~*~*~*~*~
As they crossed the street, rain began to pour from the sky. Eriol quickly then took off his jacket to cover Tomoyo up, protecting her from the wet raindrops. The lady looked up, wanting to protest, but her breath was taken away as she saw how gorgeous he looked with his wet midnight hair falling over his azure eyes. She began to blush as she could see through his wet shirt the perfect, well built body of the young man. Eriol now circled his arm around her shoulders to protect her further more.
"Come on." He whispered closely.
Tomoyo found herself nodding instead, for she was speechless to that delightful tickle of his breath brushing against her check. Was she supposed to feel so warm inside?
Running through the rain wasn't easy for a lady that wore sandals and jeans- skirt. Although Tomoyo did avoid her steps, she couldn't help herself but to trip forward when trying to escape a puddle of water. Eriol noticing her misstep quickly circled his arms around her waist and pushed her back into his strong embrace. Tomoyo could feel herself blush as she leaned onto his warm chest, while his arms caressed her skin.
"You should be careful." Spoke Eriol behind her, causing the lady to shiver in delight.
Eriol let go of her to pick up his jacket and once again cover her up. "Alright. Let's get moving." He spoke with a smile.
Tomoyo smiled back and they set forward to their destination.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Eriol entered the vast living room as he spotted Tomoyo sitting down on the carpet floor in front of the fireplace. He couldn't help noticing how beautiful she looked before the blazing fire that glowed her soft features. Noticing his presence, Tomoyo looked up to smile at him. Eriol smiled back and made his way to sit beside her.
"Did the clothes fit you?" questioned Tomoyo as she looked at his figure.
"Perfectly." He replied, for he did look good with the clothes that belonged to Tomoyo's father.
"Not wanting to be rude, but what brings you to Tomoeda Town?" she questioned.
Eriol looked towards the fire, and there she saw again, the pain and agony. Somehow she felt guilty in stirring up the bad memories that caused the charming boy to become so gloomy.
"I'm sorry. It's none of my business to interfere with your problems." She spoke quickly.
"It's ok." He whispered softly, and a bit distant in thoughts. "I'm here to find a person."
"Mitsuki Kaho?"
"Yes, Mitsuki Kaho. She's a special person to me."
"So where did you originally come from?" asked Tomoyo now curious to know about him.
"Would you believe me if I said that I traveled through time?" Eriol questioned her with a smirk on his face.
"Why not." She replied a bit unconvinced with his explanation.
"Alright. So I came from Tomoeda Town from my time period. To be more exact from England in my time period." Eriol concluded.
Tomoyo couldn't help but to smile, a smile that most likely wanted to laugh, but somehow she did not doubt his words. As weird as it sounded she did actually believe in him. There was something about him that made Tomoyo trust his words as being true.
"I'll help you."
"Help me? You mean to say that you believe me?" Eriol questioned.
"Yes." She spoke smiling.
Eriol smiled back in amusement. She was definitely different from other girls he had meet before. So trustworthy and open-minded, that he couldn't help but to hug her for the person that she was. Tomoyo blushed as she felt his warm arms circle her tightly. He soon let go of her.
"Thank you."
"Just repaying you for the favor." Replied Tomoyo.
"Your more of a savior to me than of what I was for you." Eriol spoke.
"Nope. You did save my life remember? If I have died you wouldn't be here in my house." She concluded.
Eriol chuckled, "Let's just say that you're an guardian angel." and that made Tomoyo blush once again to that charming smile of his.
