Chapter four


Eriol held Tomoyo tightly as blinding light enveloped them. He felt Tomoyo going limp in his arms and felt cold air biting his exposed skin. He cradled her, hooking his arms beneath her back and knees, bridal style and crouched, so that they could stay warm.

For a second, he felt suspended in air and floating. He opened his eyes as his feet touched solid ground.

It was cold...but where ever they were, it was warm.

He gathered Tomoyo in his arms, her naked form completely drained of energy. He absorbed the surrounding and was shocked.

For it was the old mansion of Clow's!

First things first, he should find something to cover both of them.

He went out of the study and climbed up the stairs holding Tomoyo, her still form making him tensed. Although her nakedness coupled with his was making his libido go out of control, concern won in the end.

He placed her on the bed and pulled the sheets over her. He opened the cupboard and pulled two of the old cotton thin shirts and a pant for himself.

Clow's clothes. So old...but yet, were as if he'd been using them and they'd come back from laundry.

The shirt would cover Tomoyo till above her knees, he decided and stepped toward the bed.

He hesitated a second and wore his clothes and reluctantly drew off the sheets from Tomoyo. He'd never seen her like this before. Ofcourse, he'd had dreams of making love to her, her naked form pressed closer to him...but in reality it was much overwhelming.

Suppressing his sexual attraction to her again, he lifted her limp form and made her wear the shirt.

As he was buttoning up, tenderly, Tomoyo stirred and opened her eyes.

He didn't notice her, she realized, and noticed his trembling fingers and looked at his face. There were purple undertones to his eyes as if he were drained.

His shirt buttons were loose and she could see his broad tight chest and the pant that fitted him perfectly.

"Eriol..."She drawled huskily and was shocked at the blatant desire in her voice.

Why should her body always betray her?

He looked at her as soon as she uttered his name.

He abruptly distanced himself from her as if she'd just struck him and backed away hastily, his eyes wide and his back came against a window.

That was all was necessary to send blue sparks from the window, hurting his back as he was propelled back to the foot of the bed.

"Eriol!!!" Tomoyo cried and reached for him not caring of her undress.

"Ohh..."Eriol groaned and Tomoyo's heart lurched.

"Eriol...are you okay?? Eriol..."Tomoyo hugged him and cradled him in her arms.

"Mmm...Tomoyo. Don't shake too much, am alright." He grinned and she smiled not realizing her flushed face.

Then she looked around for the first time and her hold on him tightened.

"Eriol...where are we??"She asked looking at him, a little jumpy looking at his intent stare.

"Mmm..."He closed his eyes and leaned closer to Tomoyo revelling at her warmth.

"Uh...Eriol??" Tomoyo smiled and nudged him.

"We are at Clow's mansion...and we've been locked in."He said.

"What?? Locked in??" Tomoyo asked looking around.

She could see faint sheild surrounding the house.

"We are in Japan??" She asked, clutching Eriol tightly.

"Mmm...I suppose so..."Eriol said burying his face into her chest and inhaling her lingering scent as she pressed him closer without realizing.

"What are we going to..."Tomoyo's breath hitched as she felt Eriol's lips between her breasts.

Ofcourse he wasn't doing anything, just his face was pressed to her and his breath sent waves of desire through her. Infact, she noticed it was her who had him so close, while her mind screamed to release him, her body was not in the mood to let him go. As if noticing her rigidity, Eriol made his point clear that he was not interested in anything more by lifting her up and putting her on the bed. He got in with her and pulled her close to him. He again buried his face in her chest and Tomoyo was left speechless.

Then she noticed something in his back. His shirt had been burnt and some places were glowing as if burnt. And they were slowly fading as if her closeness to him was healing her.

When it was completely healed, Eriol gave a final tight hug to her and attempted to get up.

But Tomoyo refused to let him go. How could he leave her like this?

Burning with desire, her breathing was coming in rasps and Eriol smirked.

"I need to go and find out whats..."Eriol's eyes widened as Tomoyo pulled him down to kiss him.

He went completely still feeling her lips on him that were coaxing and demanding at the same time. Sensing his reluctance, Tomoyo lifted her legs and snaked it around him bringing him on her completely.

She was almost cradling him and that was Eriol could tolerate.

He lowered himself fully on her, kissing her back with a passion that she showed. Meeting her with his own, he was amazed at the sensation when his body touched hers. It was as if little little shots were fired throughout his body completely drowning him in a heady sensation.

As the both drew away for breath, their foreheads pressed together, Tomoyo shivered under him due to the tumbling emotions within her.

"Tomoyo...please. I shouldn't...we shouldn't..."Eriol tried to reason but Tomoyo was quick to act.

She pressed her lips again firmly on his and then slid it away kissing his jaw line...his throat...everywhere where she could set her lips on.

Eriol could not stifle his groan. He'd been keeping his feeling for her bottled up and they were almost near frustration.

He knew he had to have her, atleast to get her out of his system. But something in him warned, that if he had her today, he would want her for the rest of his life. Somehow Kaho was pushed in the back of his mind and everything he could think of was the small, fragile woman lying underneath him, who was demanding to be made love to. To be fullfilled.

Tomoyo didn't realize when her shirt was off and Eriol was naked on her. Their bodies rubbing against each other, exploring each other as if they both only mattered. It was an urgency and an aching need.

"Tomoyo..."Eriol groaned telling her that he can't hold on longer. He had to be in her...and he wanted to lose himself in her.

Tomoyo looked up and thrust her hips against him and welcomed him.

Eriol almost collapsed on her on the first thrust...he wanted her bad but he had to be careful...not to hurt her. He didn't mind his shoulders or back that seemed to suddenly prick. But he knew only one thing...fullfillment.

"Eriol..." Tomoyo breathed hoarsely inviting him in...there was a slight pain that shot through her and tears welled up in her eyes which was kissed away by Eriol.

But then, as his thrusts came, it was replaced by a sensation that was alien to her at the same time, it was so charged that she forgot her surroundings...

They both came together and warmth pooled around them. Eriol felt completely drained as if a part of himself was transferred to Tomoyo and he moved a little to lie next to her. But Tomoyo wouldn't have it. She wanted to feel his weight, feel him against her, so she held him and kissed his shoulder.

Her hands were around him and she pulled the sheets up to cover both of them.

Eriol looked into her eyes and Tomoyo met his with the same emotion reflected.

He bent his head hesitantly but Tomoyo lifted hers to meet him halfway. It was a gentle kiss...both didn't feel the need to speak. Tomoyo's hands found his hair and pulled them one side falling over her and snuggled him to her neck. Eriol sighed and closed his eyes.

He was too drained to stop and think. All that mattered was Tomoyo was with him, holding him. Like she would protect him from anything. Never let him go. He soon fell asleep.


Tomoyo could feel his even breathing and the beat of his heart against her. Tears welled up in her eyes but she let them flow. She was aware of the eerie blue glow that was their own making. And she could still feel something from Eriol going into her. She felt her tears but couldn't quite place them. She knew this feeling...contentment and happiness. Holding him in her arms, not caring whether they were stuck in this mansion, not thinking about Kaho or Yue...but just the man in her arms.

She closed her eyes, bringing him closer to her cradling him with her body...it felt so right. It fit, as if her body was made for his. She remembered Clow Reed's painting once she'd seen and smiled at Eriol's and his similarity. They were almost similar except Eriol still had that boyish charms but the awful male virility and animal magnetism.

Eriol...her Eriol. Did she love him??

That was when something twisted in her heart.

What have we done? Tomoyo thought...she was in love with Yue and Eriol was obviously in love with Kaho...

Was she still in love with the moon gaurdian?

Then what was the meaning of this?? She looked at herself and Eriol. The way she was holding him to her and he was just...it seemed he'd surrendered himself. To her. Given up everything in her name and she looked at his face that was now against her chest. He seemed so calm. She remembered taking his morning tea or coffee...she'd never seen him so peaceful. There was a ghost of a smile on his lips. It pulled at her heart.

Is it just two unrequited souls coming together? Is it just physical whatever they are feeling?

But why did her insides ache so much?

She was the one who'd initiated this right?? She was the one who'd pulled him, urged him to make love to her...

She gently pulled his hair back from his shoulders and was shocked at the awful nail marks that were bleeding. And there was a distinct bite mark on his shoulder and lots of bruises on his back...her passion. That had blinded her. It was so strong that it wanted only to be satiated. Was she so...fierce? And she thought that Eriol had this animal in him!

Tomoyo felt her eyes drooping and she gave in. She was having an headache thinking this. Much better if sleep took over.

Eriol was awake, but his eyes were not open. He knew the faint lavender smell and the porcelain soft skin under him. He'd dreamed of it a lots of times. Craved for it. But it was Tomoyo! His friend...his best friend. And he could take his sexual frustration somewhere else...but today...he'd actually had her soft voluptuous underneath him responding to his eagerly.

He couldn't remember any other woman this intriguing. He had been so elated with Tomoyo, it was a different experience. It was not just sex or even the tender love making...it was something else totally. Out of the world and he'd never experienced anything like this.

And it surprised him. He didn't understand this. He was always in total control. He was the Clow's reincarnation. He was an experienced and wise elder persona in a young body...but today...he felt humbled. He just couldn't explain.

In normal circumstances, he would have reclined an invitation and would have found out what was going on.

But it was different this time, wasn't it? It was Tomoyo who'd asked. And he almost declined but where did his control go.

When her lips was pressed against his, everything seemed to crumble. And only one thing was on his mind. Tomoyo. Nothing else.

He lifted himself on an elbow and looked at her sleeping form.

He grimaced looking at her swollen lips. He remembered the feeling of those sensuous lips. And he could feel his immediate reaction to it. He ran his eyes over her and was shocked at the bruises.

It would ache when she got up, he realized. Was he that hard on her?

Of all the bruises, his eyes narrowed on one that was so prominent that it was colored scarlet. It was on her left breast.

He felt rushing through his body again and he had to shake his head.


Tomoyo opened her eyes slowly and stared at the cerulean eyes that was watching her so intensely.

"Hey sleeping beauty..."He whispered and she smiled.

"Hey..."Tomoyo said, smiling lazily. And she attempted to stretch her body...but pain shot through her.

"What is wrong?" Eriol asked concerned and it seemed to wash over her, soothing her.

Her whole body felt bruised.

"Its...just that I feel bruised..."She said slowly looking at him with a newfound shyness.

Eriol who felt like banging his head somewhere for being responsible, felt strange warmth spreading over his chest knowing that it was him, that she was blushing prettily.

Oh my god! So she didn't regret it!

"What are you doing to me Tomo-chan?" Eriol whispered and Tomoyo's smiled faded replaced with an emotion that confused Eriol.

"Does it hurt?" Tomoyo asked and Eriol looked confused.

"What?" He asked and Tomoyo pointed to his shoulder. His eyebrows went up and that was when he fully felt that his whole back might be bruised.

"Mmm..."He agreed.

What exactly did they do?? Tomoyo wondered but she didn't realize that she'd wondered loud.

"I am sorry Tomoyo. I don't know. But...if we get out of the bed, may be we can start looking for answers..."Eriol drawled and Tomoyo lowered her gaze.

"What is it??" Eriol asked and Tomoyo's eyes moistened. My god! It was aching like hell inside her. And...it was all because of Eriol...

Tomoyo shook her head and Eriol cupped her face.

"Hey...please...Tomoyo tell me whats wrong?" Eriol said and she opened her tear filled eyes.

"Mmm..."She licked her lips.

"Can you...you...I mean..."She stammered in a low voice looking at his lips. She wanted him to kiss so badly. She didn't know why.

Eriol caught the undertone of her request and smiled and Tomoyo gasped.

He kissed her again this time, with all that she was making him feel.

It was a long time before they finally got out of the bed.


"Where did they go??" Nakuru screamed in top of her voice and Yue winced.

"Nakuru...please. Calm down." Sakura said and looked at Syaoran helplessly.

"Where could they have possibly gone??" This was Kaho.

"It seemed that Eriol couldn't control what was happening. They could be anywhere in this world or...in dimensions where time is not significant...as long as they are together..."Syaoran supplied.

Nakuru screamed now and Sakura gritted her teeth," Syaoran...you are not helping!!"

Sakura caught Nakuru and she collapsed. Her eye ball rolled up as if she were seeing something and Sakura held her tight.

"What is wrong now?" Spinel-sun asked and Kero joined him.

"She is seeing something..."Sakura whispered and Nakuru gasped for air before opening her eyes.

Her head bent low she took some deep breaths.

"Nakuru...can you tell me what you saw??" Sakura asked concerned.

"Yes...Master and Tomo-chan...!!" Nakuru said with a start that made everyone dread the worse.

But suddenly Nakuru's color changed, her blushing bright red and looking at the ground below. And a slow smile spread across her face.

She could remember flashes of Eriol and Tomoyo and their passion. But what intrigued her most and well as confused was...Eriol seemed more like the Clow Reed himself!

What exactly was happening?

And in her life, she'd never seen Eriol so...at peace before.

Yue, unable to hold himself together any longer, grabbed Nakuru's hand forcefully and tapped her energey.

"Hey!!" Nakuru protested but Yue already saw.

His brow's furrowed as he let Nakuru go. He'd never seen Clow at peace before and he was sure of what he saw. His Tomoyo and his late Master... He took a step back. What was happening?


"Eriol?? Where are you??" Tomoyo asked opening her eyes to find herself alone in the empty King-size bed.

She stumbled out clutching the flimsy shirt and peered down the huge corridor.

'My! This place is very big!'She commented and she stepped out, her feet somehow warm against the cold floor.

She found the stair case and her eyes brightened.

Maybe Eriol was there down... Her eyes widened.

For there on the stairs was Kaho kissing Eriol, with her back facing Tomoyo.

Coldness gripped her heart and squeezed it tight as if taking the very life out of her.

And Eriol was kissing her, infact taking her dress off at that very moment.

Kaho dragged Eriol down the stairs...they were into it on the stairs!

Tomoyo staggered holding the railing for support and slid down, tears falling freely...
