Epilogue

^Eriol's POV^

All around, names were being called and laughter was arosing in the airport as I scanned the place with my luggage. The plane from England had just landed down back in Tomoeda and my heart could not be racing faster at the thought of seeing someone I had held to my heart for 3 years.

Tomoyo…

All this years after I left for England, I still communicated with Tomoyo but somehow lost contact after I got busy preparing for my scholarship…I couldn't be more regretful… I and her had stopped communicating one year ago…Will she know that I'm returning today?

"Eriol!"

I turned around at my name as Ruby Moon ran up to me, smiling, "I've contacted Touya-kun! Everybody is on the way!"

A huge smile appeared on my face, full of hope. Will Tomoyo-san be there?

I was not even sure if she was happy to see me. Sure, we have gotten close the past years…But after my departure, we started drifting apart but my heart was always with her…

I promised to return during Christmas but I couldn't do it… That was then when Kaho Mizuki passed away and I was still in a sorrowful mood. And the year after that, I was still busy preparing for my scholarship course and I couldn't make it. And the next was when my scholarship came to me and I had to opt to Australia to take up a competition.

I only had this Christmas with Tomoyo. Will she be happy to see me again?

"ERIOL!"

I turned around and grinned as the same old bubbly Sakura Kinomoto and her overprotective boyfriend, Li Syaoran made their way up to me.

Sakura with her amber tresses and blue ribbons give me a enormous hug, smiling, "FINALLY YOU'RE BACK!" I laughed and returned the hug but instantly released after I realized the danger of getting the Li Syaoran's punch.

"How are all of you?" I couldn't help but ask, trying to hide the disappointment of the absence of Tomoyo. Sakura nodded, her hair bouncing merrily, "Very fine! Everybody's well!"

I smiled, "That's good then." Syaoran looked at me, giving me a long stare before nodding, "Welcome back."

So things were patched up little by little but the question was surging in my mind, unbearingly ringing.

Where was Tomoyo-san?

"Hiiragizawa," Syaoran said as the two of us got into a taxi while the rest got in another one. I nodded, smiling, "What is it?" Syaoran rolled his eyes, "Cut the smirk out. I need to talk to you about Tomoyo-san."

I shrugged, instantly putting my hands in my pocket, "What is it about?" Syaoran eyed me seriously, "She wants me to hand this to you."

I raised an eyebrow as Syaoran handed me a blue envelope.

"She wants you to read it…" Syaoran trailed off before speaking again, "She's now on at Hong Kong on a course and won't be back two months later."

My mouth went dry at the announcement. Two months without Tomoyo-san just went I came back!?

I looked at Syaoran who merely shrugged and stared out of the window. I quickly tore opened the blue envelope and scanned my eyes down, tears springing into my eyes as the familiar neat handwriting came to my sight.

Dearest Eriol-kun,

I'm sure you'll be back this Christmas! How are you? Are you still the almighty blue-haired sorcerer I know? I'm sorry I can't be with you this time because I'm on a course at Hong Kong. Did you received the presents I sent to you during the last years that you did not return? I understand that you are busy with your scholarship and I'm really glad you managed to achieve your goal! Ganbatte! I should go now and I really, really look forward to seeing you again.

Always with you,

Tomoyo Daidouji

I brought my hands up to wipe a single tear running down. How long has it been since I've spoken to Tomoyo-san? My eyes stared longingly at the letter for a long time when a voice interrupted my thoughts.

"She really misses you."

I looked at Syaoran who stared back with his serious amber eyes, "Maybe you should go look for her sometimes. She always checks the letter box hoping for your mail but you never wrote back. All these years, she's always checking the letter box with much enthusiasm when you suddenly lost contact, making her lose her genki self." Syaoran eyed me, "Don't you think you should do something 'bout it?"

I bowed down my head and stared at the letter in my hands.

Tomoyo-san…

*

"It's been so long since we came here!"

Ruby Moon commented as she twirled around the Hiiragizawa manor in Tomoeda. My eyes scanned the living hall and a slow smile appeared on my lips. Yes, nothing did changed much.

I walked up the stairs to the west wing and a rush of memories flooded through my mind as my eyes met with the grand piano sitted silently on the red carpet.

So many memories…

My fingers traced the ivory key of the piano and smiled. There was so many memories of the times I and Tomoyo shared over here. My eyes flipped over to the ceiling and smiled.

The potrait of me on the grand piano, sitting and playing.

Drawn by my only angel…

"Eriol-sama! There are more things to clear! Are you coming down!?" Ruby Moon yelled from below.

"Coming!" I answered back and slowly walked down the steps.

How could I ever leave this beautiful mansion behind?

*

I placed my hands on my back and trudged down the steps, "I'm going out for awhile!" I called out to Ruby Moon and Spinel before exiting the main door.

Breathing in the familiar Tomoeda afternoon air, I took the usual path down the lonely road to the swings where I used to walk with Tomoyo-san…

Sighing silently, I plopped down on one of the swings and started kicking off.

Tomoyo, Tomoyo…I'll be waiting for you to come back…

My hair flew with the wind as I swung higher on the swings and a song started reeling in my mind.

The petals of a blooming flower is dancing

Right in the garden the sun stood high

As we sit together on the swings

Feeling the skies tumbling us down

I dream…

I stopped as tears stung my eyes.

I wanted to see Tomoyo-san so much…

"Eriol-kun?"

I froze.

That voice. I couldn't be hearing… Tomoyo-san? I breathed as I turned around.

"Eriol-kun?"

I gaped dumbly as the familiar angelic girl stood before me, hair swaying beautifully in the breeze, smiling, "Eriol-kun! It's really you!"

"Tomo—" And before I could say a thing, she jumped in my arms.

It was as though time froze to nothing as she stood in my arms as I brought her in. Was it heaven I was experiencing then?

I released her and cupped her face, "Tomoyo-san, I thought you were in Hong Kong?" I asked, my voice tracing with emotions. Tomoyo shook her head, tears springing up to her eyes, "I cancelled the trip. I heard you were coming back." She buried her face in my shoulder.

"I wanted to see you again so much, I just have to… I thought you'd never come back…" Her voice choked and I knew she was crying.

"Tomoyo-san…Don't cry…" I looked into her eyes, wiping the tears, "I'm back now, isn't it?" Tomoyo smiled softly, "I know…For a while, I thought you didn't want to be my friend anymore. When you stopped writing, I thought you started to forget me from your heart."

I brought her into my arms, "Whoever said that, Tomoyo? I was just preparing myself for the scholarship exams. I'm sorry… I can never, never bring myself to forget you. You're a wonderful person. I'm an idiot if I do."

Tomoyo giggled, "Did you make it? The exams, I mean." I nodded, "I've got the scholarship. That's what I've been busying for the past years so I'm sorry."

I took her hands, "You forgive me, don't you?" Tomoyo nodded, smiling, "You're not at fault."

I smiled, "Come, let's go back. I still have a lot of things to catch up with." Tomoyo nodded, a beam playing on her lips as I took her hand, pulling her next to me.

"When are you going back again?" She asked. I stopped to face her, brushing strands of hair away from her eyes, "What if I tell you I'm staying back forever?" I looked at her, eyes tender and warm.

She shook her head, "You can't. You're still studying and you have so many things back at England."

I smiled, "I'll stay for a few weeks, if that is what you like." Her eyes shone, "Really? You can?" I nodded, taking her hand again, "As you wish, my angel…"

She smiled as we strolled back to the Hiiragizawa manor.

"Tomoyo-san… Maybe after two months, I'll be going back to England to finish up my education…" I faced her, pulling her in my arms, "Are you willing to wait again? Just for 3 years? I'll come back. I promise."

Tomoyo smiled, "I'll wait even for a thousand years!" She then giggled and hugged me, "I'll wait…Don't worry." I smiled and returned the hug, "Then when I come back, we'll get together again and I won't let you go ever again. We'll get married, have a whole bunch of kids and we'll stay here forever and forever and always."

She laughed, "Already you're starting to think too far!" I grinned, bringing her into my arms, "You can call me well-organized."

She giggled as we continued to walk on hand in hand.

"Tomoyo-san…"

"Nani?" She faced me, smiling. I turned to her and chuckled before leaning in, "I love you…"

She giggled, "I love you, too!" I laughed, "Aren't you going to kiss me?" She made a face, "Eeew!"

I smiled, taking her hands, "Imagine the days to come! We're going to have the best days of our lives soon!" She squealed as I twirled her around and folded her into my arms, "Remember our dance, Tomoyo-san?"

Her eyes twinkled in recgonition, "Hai, Eriol-kun…" She then giggled, "Eriol-san, should it be?" I shook my head, touching her hair, "Neither. You can just call me Eriol now." Her eyes smiled, "Then you can call me Tomoyo, too."

I grinned, "Of course. I don't see a need for formalities for husband and wife." She gave me a swat, "Whoever said I wanted to be your wife?"

I laughed, "Don't you?"

And under the wonderful evening, I sealed our beautiful everlasting love with a kiss, letting the wonders and happiness run for the future.

I don't know how. But this is the story of how Mr. Eriol Hiiragizawa finally found his angel. The one that I fell in love with since a child and the one that I still love until the end.

Always have and always will.

The end!
