Yukio
Present
Yukio stared at Tomoyo as she played the piano. Tomoyo was part of the church choir before she came here, so he knew she would be good at the piano. But, he didn't realize she would be this good, and that he would stare at her play it, her long silver hair swaying behind her. Yukio's face reddened as the tune stopped. The girl turned to him and grinned. "How was it?" She asked, and Yukio clapped. "Brilliant, as usual Toto." Tomoyo grinned harder and ran up to the male and embraced him. "Thank you, Yuki-chan." Yukio smiled and placed his hand on her hair. He swept his hand down her hair, and noticed how soft it was. "What're you doing?" Yukio breathed in and said, "I love…your hair." Tomoyo blushed and pulled apart. "I love it that you love it." She kissed his lips, and Yukio took no time in kissing back.
Yukio woke up, and saw that Rin was staring at him. "You were talking in your sleep man." Rin said, and Yukio grunted. "Did I wake you?" Rin shrugged. "I couldn't sleep." Yukio couldn't either. He dreamt about Tomoyo all night. Yukio got ready and got out of bed. He wore his uniform and saw that Rin wasn't around. "Where's Rin, Kuro?" The black cat stared at Yukio's face and shrugged. "He left already." Yukio frowned slightly and sighed. He walked out of the dorm and saw Rin and…Yukio's eyes widened. Touya? Before Yukio could run up to them, a white dog jumped in front of him and spoke, "Don't, Mr. Okumura." It was Mephisto. "What?" Yukio said, his gaze not leaving Touya.
"Listen to me, don't confront Tomoyo right now." So it was Tomoyo. "Why n-""She still isn't innocent, Yukio Okumura, and if you reveal her now, then Azazel will surely attack. She knows what she's doing, and I advise you to pretend you don't know the truth." Yukio couldn't handle it. "I'll apologize to her at least-""No, Azazel watches you closely when you're in class that is all I can tell you. You'll be putting Tomoyo in a lot of danger if you talk to her now." Yukio cringed. "Alright."
Yukio walked to class, and saw Rin and Tomoyo (Touya) sitting together. It made Yukio think whether Rin knew about Touya being Tomoyo. If he did, then he was too close to her, and if he didn't…Yukio felt jealousy either way. After class, Shiemi walked to him and said, "Any luck finding Miss Okada?" Yukio shook his head, as a no. "She's too…far from my reach." Yukio said softly. Shiemi placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "She'll come to you, Yuki." Yukio smiled at her and then saw that Touya was standing by the door, staring at them. Yukio's eyes widened. That was Tomoyo. He quickly turned to look at how close Shiemi was, and he turned back to Touya. "I…I'll be leaving." Touya said, and left, and Yukio bit his lip, and followed after Touya.
Tomoyo
Present
Mephisto was the one who woke her up. "What do you want?" The dog wagged its tail and it said, "Go to school." Tomoyo grunted. "You wish. All of them know the truth-""Yukio doesn't." Tomoyo didn't care. "You want to protect Rin and Yukio or not?" Why was Mephisto so involved? Usually he wouldn't care. "Azazel watches Yukio Okumura in class. I saw him just the other day." Tomoyo's eyes widened. "Really?" Mephisto wasn't lying. Tomoyo decided to go. "Shura and Maken-""Will keep things a secret as well." Tomoyo was grateful.
She walked to school, and Rin pounced on her. "Toto, you…alright?" Tomoyo nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm fine." Rin rubbed the girl's back and said, "I'm here for you, you know that right?" Tomoyo smiled at him. "Of course." In class, she ignored Yukio as much as she could. But, she had to tell him. Shura and Maken both knew about her secret, why should Yukio be left out in the dark? After class, she walked to tell him when he saw Shiemi and Yukio alone. "I…I'll be leaving." Tomoyo said, and left. She heard Yukio following her, and wondered why. Did he know? No, Mephisto told her he didn't. What if Mephisto lied? Tomoyo bumped into someone and turned to see Maken. "Touya. Yukio." He said, and Tomoyo looked at the ground.
"Yukio, gather the class, we have new information. About Azazel. Touya, follow me." Tomoyo listened. Yukio watched her leave, and Tomoyo avoided his gaze. It broke her heart but she walked past him. He knew it, didn't he? He did. "I'm sorry." She heard him say, and Tomoyo wanted to cry right then. In class, Maken and Shura and Yukio came to the podium and said, "Azazel has been reported around the Academy, spying on two people the most. The sons of Satan, Yukio and Rin." Tomoyo cringed. Then a sudden gust of wind, entered the class, and a form appeared out of nowhere. It was Azazel. "It's him!" Bon yelled, and Yukio and Maken readied themselves. Shura stood motionless, and saw that Azazel was just standing. Blue flames surrounded him, and he didn't look like he was going to fight. "I'm not going to fight anyone." Azazel said, smirking. Rin growled. "You-""Hello, there half-brother." Azazel said, and Tomoyo suddenly stood up.
"What are you doing here?" She asked and the demon king was confused. "The boy who's good with guns. Do I know you?" Tomoyo growled. "You destroyed his home. You don't remember?" Izumo said, and stood up ready to summon her demons, and Bon stood up as well. "Demons like you are despicable." Azazel looked at them both and turned to Tomoyo. "I've never been the one to say the truth, but this time I am. I've never seen this boy before-"With a sudden movement, Tomoyo walked out of the bench and walked toward the demon king. She grabbed her beanie and dropped it to the floor. "Recognize me?" She said, and shot the demon right in between its eyes. The class was filed with gasps and Tomoyo turned to Rin, "Rin, give me the bottle inside my bag, now!" Rin listened. It was a bottle of Holy Water. "Not here, Azazel. You'll know where to find me." She whispered and threw it at him. The demon king disappeared.
The class was quiet. "Outstanding. Now what?" Tomoyo sighed. "I need to go." She said, and suddenly, "Touya is a girl?" Shima yelled and Bon hit him on his head. "That's Tomoyo man." HE said, and Tomoyo stood there, with a frown on her face. "Tomoyo, you aren't going to follow him are you?" Rin asked and she nodded. "I am. You aren't going to come." "But-""Stay here Rin!" The male was quiet. "Where're you going Tomoyo-""To find Azazel." She said, and walked out of the class, ignoring Maken's question.
Yukio
Present
He couldn't believe his eyes. It was Tomoyo, she was here. But what did she mean 'not here?' Where was she going to go? "Chicken, go after her." Shura said, and Yukio stood still. He watched Tomoyo walk out, ignoring him and Shura growled. "Go, damnit!" Yukio ran after her and saw that Tomoyo was surrounded by other exorcists. There were four of them, and Tomoyo stood unmoving. "Please, let me through-""Tomoyo!" Yukio readied his guns, and shot at the men. Tomoyo turned to look at him and asked, "What're you doing?" Yukio didn't answer.
"Yukio Okumura, you are assisting a criminal." The male exorcist said, and Yukio frowned. "She isn't a-"Suddenly, a large black wall full of thorns emerged from the ground and the two of them heard someone shout, "Run! Yukio take her and run. I'll hold them off." Yukio nodded and turned to Tomoyo and grabbed her hand and ran.
"Maken has Inmai, the thorn demon. He'll be alright." Tomoyo was quiet. They got out of True Cross City and hid inside Yukio's dorm. "Tomoyo-""What are you doing Yukio?" She asked and the male was quiet. "They're against you now-""Couldn't you tell me, Tomoyo?" He asked and the girl gasped. "I…I'm so sorry, I think I wasn't…I wasn't approachable for you that you didn't come to me. I'm not much of a help to you-"Tomoyo slapped him. Yukio's eyes were wide and he turned to face Tomoyo and she hugged him. "Don't say that. Ever." Tomoyo said, and Yukio hugged her back. "Yukio, I just…wanted you safe…I wanted Rin safe. Azazel is too strong, you can't-""And you can?" Yukio said, and Tomoyo was quiet. "I can't kill him, but I can stop him." Yukio watched her. "I need to do this alone." Tomoyo said, and Yukio didn't agree.
"I won't-""Yuki-chan, trust me." Tomoyo smiled, and Yukio's eyes widened. "I love you, Tomoyo." He blurted out and Tomoyo smiled. "I love you, Yuki-chan, I always will, forever." Tomoyo kissed the male on his lips, and hugged him. Yukio hugged back, and didn't let her go. "Yuki-chan, I have to-""This isn't the right thing to do, Tomoyo there has to be another way." Tomoyo didn't move.
"This might not be the right way, but it's the only way, please trust me Yukio." She said, and Yukio frowned. If he let her go now, there was no telling if he could see her again. "Promise me, you'll be back." Tomoyo flinched.
Tomoyo
Present
She knew she had to face Azazel alone. It was her fight, and only she should be involved. "Promise me, you'll be back." She heard Yukoi say, and she flinched. She didn't know that. She might die there, but she was sure if she did, she would take Azazel with her. She couldn't lie to Yukio, she wouldn't. "I can't-""Then I can't let you go." Yukio said, and Tomoyo groaned, "Yuki-chan-""I'm sorry, Tomoyo." He pinched the girl's neck, and Tomoyo gasped as she fainted. Yukio caught hold of her, and sighed. "I'll protect you, now." He said, and kissed her forehead.
