Voice within (Remake)

Chapter 11

Reunion

I gripped my skirt tightly with my head down; I was still shocked with the whole incident.

"Would you like some tea?" Eriol-kun asked me from the kitchen and I just shook my head.

"Very well then."

It's still very odd you can read my thoughts.

"Thought you'd be use to it by now."

Well… We haven't seen each other in a while you know… I guess I lost the 'getting use to it' bit.

-------

Eriol-kun…

"Are you alright, Daidouji-san?"

I sank to my knees and started crying. I didn't know whether it was out of fear or out of relief.

Maybe it was both.

Eriol-kun was in front of me, however I couldn't accept that as of yet.

"Tomoyo-san."

I looked up. His kind eyes staring into mine with a hand extended out to me.

He was real.

I took his hand and he pulled me close enough to have an arm supporting me as I sobbed.

His warm hand stroked my back as he tried calming me down.

"I'm back." He whispered softly.

His voice soothed me, even though his voice has already broken.

Welcome back…

Suddenly something caught my eye, one of the drunkards stood behind Eriol and he had his hand rolled into a fist.

He was about to hit Eriol.

Eriol!

Without hesitation, Eriol just flipped his staff so that the bottom landed on the drunkard's head with a loud THUD.

"Missed one," He said with a smile.

---------

We were now in a very posh condominium that overlooked WonderLand.

You're not too far from where you lived.

"From where Clow lived."

I turned to him. His eyes were fixated on where the house used to stand.

Why did you sell it then? Didn't it mean a lot to you?

"It did."

Then why?

"Doesn't matter. I can't turn time back now, can I?" he chuckled.

I gave a scowl. It was obvious he didn't want to say anything so I didn't push him

Why didn't you tell me you came back?

"I apologise however I haven't actually made any accommodation plans so I couldn't get a hold of a computer or a telephone to contact you."

But you would know how to find me, wouldn't you?

"True but there are preparations that need to be done."

I sighed; this is not going to work out. He's not going to tell me anything.

How was England?

"It was pleasant… Nothing like Japan but it was pleasant."

I see… Ummm… Ah! Have you met a lady named Mizuki Kaho? She was Tomoeda elementary's temporary math teacher. She continued her studies in England as well.

"Well you do know England is a large place…"

Ah, that's true. It's kind of impossible to cross paths then. Too bad, she is a truly gorgeous lady, Sakura-chan would go "Hanyuuumm" whenever she was around.

"Yes, I can imagine her doing that. I remember very well she use to do that around Tsukishirou-san."

Oh she still does that but she somehow convinced herself that Li's more appropriate for her.

"I see..." he then mumbled something to himself.

I beg your pardon?

"I just think it's odd she still goes "Hanyuum" with Tsukishirou-san when she has Syaoran."

Yes… I suppose it is but perhaps it's because she still sees Tsukishirou-san.

"Perhaps." He gave a warm smile as he walked around the room.

I studied him. He grew up to be a very handsome person. I always find mixed cultured people to be very exotic in their appearance, Eriol Hiiragizawa wasn't any less.

His eyes are catlike, those of Chinese heritage. It gives out a rather mysterious aura because they were blue; most Asians only have brown to black colour eyes. I guess that's his European side.

His nose isn't shaped like a typical European's. It's rather flat like mot japanese's.

His skin is even fairer than mine, almost like unstained snow. Thus it gives him a rather cold appearance.

However, it's his smile that enables that coldness to disappear; such a kind smile. When he does smile, his whole face radiates like an innocent child.

"I'm far from innocent."

JEEZ! Don't read my thoughts like that!

"How can I not? You were thinking rather 'loudly'." He smiled a rather sheepish smile.

Perhaps I should turn down the volume then.

I turned to face the wall clock, it read 9.17pm.

My, it's this late already!

I quickly stood up and gathered my belongings.

"Wait."

I turned back to face him, puzzled.

"You forgot your green tea frappuccino." He said as he conjured up the drink I wanted earlier that evening.

-----------------------

"Young miss! Are you alright? Where have you been?"

I strolled into the house and one of my maids examined me angle by angle to see if I was alright.

I gave her and apologetic smile and explained that I ran into some friends and lost track of time.

Partially true.

She gave a huge sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, I thought you got into some sort of trouble."

Kind of…

I didn't tell her that of course. Instead I apologized again and excused myself.

I walked up the stairs and was about to enter my room when I took a glimpse at my mother's bedroom door.

It was still locked.

I sighed.

Another overnight work for her I guess.

Usually if she was home, she'd left the door ajar.

I wonder when we'll be able to have a nice dinner together.

Come to think of it, I'm kind of hungry…

I opened the door to my room to find a breeze.

Funny, I didn't remember opening the window.

I went to close it when I realised it wasn't open.

Eh?

I spun around and met face to face with a pair of dark blue eyes.

ERIOL!

He gave an Englishman bow and smiled.

"I hope you don't mind, but I was thinking of having dinner. Would you care to join me?"

I gave a silent giggle at him.

Please don't try to read my stomach's mind as well. That's just creepy.
