Prologue:
~*November 16th, 2001*~
Tomoyo smiled as she stood at the airport with her friends. She held by her side light
violet bags. She was dressed in a brown overcoat and had her hair lightly curled.
"And you promise you'll be back in a couple weeks?" Sakura asked smiling.
"Hai, hai I promise" Tomoyo giggled at her friend.
"Have a safe trip" Syaoran smiled.
"Hai" she said picking her stuff up and walking towards the plane.
Sakura looked after her friend and sighed as she disappeared inside the plane.
-------------------------
It was a long trip to England. 8 hours, she believed. But, she might have lost count
because she fell asleep. She was going to see some sites and maybe drop by Eriol's
mansion to say hi. She wasn't sure. She just wanted some time away from her life. It
wasn't that it was bad or anything. She was just a little stressed and needed some time
away. The plane slowly touched down on the ground and pulled to a slow stop.
Passengers grabbed their bags and began boarding off the plane. She reached up above her
head to get her stuff and then made her way the aisle.
When she first stepped off and looked around, the site of it all was breathtaking to her.
She smiled but shivered as a cold gust of wind struck her. She let out a breath that she
could see in front of her. It began to snow. White snowflakes falling to the ground as
people hurried through the busy streets. She shivered but carried on with her suitcases in
hand. More and more people disappeared as she walked further through the streets.
'I guess I'd better find some place to stay' she thought and walked past a store with it's
lights on.
She glanced at the TV and heard a soft but beautiful melody playing on a piano. She
smiled and closed her eyes. It seemed to give her warmth for a second when suddenly it
stopped. She opened her eyes and the lights were out, the TV was off and the store had a
sign that said 'closed'. She shivered again and began walking back down the street.
She made her way to a building that she thought had looked familiar. She would have
studied it a little more but the cold had suddenly become to much for her and she
collapsed onto the light snow. Snowflakes still fell down upon her raven hair and a
shadow approached her.
Lightly, the person picked her up into their arms and carried her inside the building. She
didn't remember much more except for hot soup and a woman. Was it a woman? Or, was
there a man too? Yes, a man. A kind man who had carried her inside. There she sat, on the
couch of a room with many blankets on top of her trying to keep her warm. She smiled
still blinded however, as a tune began to play. Once more, a warm gentle tune by a piano.
The same she had heard on the TV near that shop. She wanted to open her eyes to see
who it was or where she was but couldn't. Then, she drifted off to sleep.
When she woke up, she was in a bed. She opened her eyes to find a dark room and
shadows every where. No one in site however. She rubbed her eyes and looked down. She
was dressed in silky light violet pajamas. How? She had been asleep for a while she
guessed. Looking at her watch, it had read 3pm when she boarded the plane. When she
got off, it was 7am in England. Now, the clock next to her read 9am. But, she guessed it
had been a whole day since she had felt like she slept a long time.
There, that beautiful piano melody again. She jumped out of bed almost racing into the
main room of the house she seemed to be in. She stopped at a corner and simply peaked
around it. A man - no a boy, sat at a piano playing it softly. He had dark hair and was very
slim and tall. His fingers played the piano gently and she wondered who he was. When he
was done playing, he simply sat there. He suddenly spoke up to her.
"Did you enjoy your rest?" he asked in English.
This caught her off guard that he had known she was there. Plus, he had spoken to her in
English she believed. She wasn't sure what he had said and when no answer came he
simply repeated it in Japanese with his back still facing her.
She smiled and answered back in Japanese.
"Hai"
The boy then stood up and turned around facing her. She blinked and almost fainted again.
"E-Eriol-kun?" she asked in her thick Japanese accent.
"Konnichiwa Tomoyo-san" he replied with the same accent. She blinked at him for a
moment.
"That's a beautiful piano piece you have there" she said smiling at him as he made his way
over to her.
"Arigato gozaimasu" he said as they carried on in Japanese.
"Did you carry me inside?"
"Hai, with Nakuru-chan's help"
"Nakuru-chan?"
"HAI? Did someone call me?!" a voice said from another room.
In walked Nakuru-chan with Suppi-chan on her shoulder. Tomoyo smiled and the minute
Nakuru saw her she ran over to her sweeping spinel off her shoulder. Nakuru hugged her
happily.
"Konnichiwa Nakuru-chan" Tomoyo said hugging back.
"Konnichiwa Tomoyo-chan!" Nakuru said smiling.
Tomoyo giggled as Spinel Sun flew over to her.
"Konnichiwa Suppi-chan"
Spinel Sun simply sat on Tomoyo's shoulder and affectionately rubbed against her cheek.
"Shall we go into the living room?" Eriol said still speaking Japanese for Tomoyo.
"Hai, lets"
All four made their way to the living room at 9:30am.
::That night, in the guest room::
"So, you're visiting here for a while?" Eriol asked pulling some fresh blankets out of the
closet.
"Hai, I guess....demo I promised Sakura-chan and Syao-kun that I'd be back within a
couple weeks"
"Ahh" Eriol nodded in recognition. He set the blankets down and leaned down looking at
her.
"Then, I guess we'll be spending some time together, ne Tomoyo-san?"
She just stood there as he stood back up straight and walked out of the room gently
shutting the door. She looked at the door for a moment then fell back onto the covers.
