The melody.
The soft playing melody that echoed throughout the halls. She loved that melody so. She
loved the way she woke up every morning to it. Even, this morning. Was that him? Why,
yes it was! He was playing again this morning! Tomoyo sat up from her bed and wiped the
tears away from her eyes. She must have cried during the night sometime in her sleep. Or,
was it a dream? Was it all a dream? Eriol asking her to stay? Eriol storming off because of
her answer? She had to find out.
Tomoyo slowly got out of bed and putting on her robe she passed the window where light
snow was falling. She shivered as she felt cold air around her. She hurriedly ran out of her
room and made her way to the main where Eriol sat once again playing. Just like nothing
had happened.
There he sat, playing that beautiful melody. As she approached him, she walked to the side
of the piano to where he could see her out of the corner of his eye. He must have
acknowledged her, she thought. She finally decided to speak up her voice dry and cracky.
"O-ohayo gozaimasu.....Eriol-kun" she paused before she said his name.
It sounded as if a sigh had come out of him. Not pausing from playing he simply replied a
good morning back to her. She looked around the big main room looking for something to
say. She was sorry. She really was. She wanted to stay but she just couldn't. When he was
done playing he turned to her with a look of apology on his face.
"I'm sorry, Tomoyo-chan. I did not mean to make you feel uncomfortable last night. Nor
did I mean to get mad and leave you all alone here. I hope you understand and accept my
apology"
|An apology? He's apologizing to me?!|
"H-hai...demo you don't have to apologize Eriol-kun!"
|There, she did it again| Eriol thought smiling at her.
She blushed and smiled back at him.
"Give me three weeks" he said simply staring at her.
"E-Excuse me? Nani?" she looked over to him confused.
"Stay here for three weeks and I'll teach you everything I can. Then, if you must, you can
leave and go back to Tomoeda"
She paused for a second, unsure at first and stared deeply into his dark eyes. It was true.
They did want her to come home, for they worried about her sometimes. They need not
worry about her. She was a big girl. She didn't need them to worry about her! She shook
her head angrily. Couldn't she have a life too?
"Hai, I will. I will stay" she replied very sure of herself.
She would stay. She'd stay here with him for three weeks. He'd teach her everything he
knew and then when the time came, she'd leave and go back to her hometown. But, would
she be able to?
|What if I can't leave when the time comes to?| she thought silently still looking into his
eyes.
"Good" and with that he turned his attention back to the piano.
|I'll deal with that when the time comes|
There was a loud noise and the sound of foot steps. Nakuru bounded down the stairs
along with suppi-chan now perched on her shoulder.
"Ohayo!" Nakuru shouted happily leaping off the staircase and onto the floor with a loud
thump.
Eriol was shaken away from his work and winced when she landed.
"Nakuru-chan. Must you make so much noise this early in the morning?" he asked slowly
turning to her.
"Why do you care? You're up every day at 5am anyway!" she replied in a sassy way
sticking out her tongue.
He smiled evilly and Tomoyo knew what that meant. It meant she was going to be in
trouble later. Definitely, he'd get her back.
"Ohayo Suppi-chan! Feeling better?" Tomoyo asked the fluffy cat on Nakuru's shoulder.
Suppi yawned and flew onto Tomoyo's head. "Yes, very much, arigato"
"I'll make breakfast!" Nakuru said running off to the kitchen with Eriol following.
Suppi curled up on Tomoyo's head and she turned to the window. The soft snow falling
down.
"Like it?" Spinel asked her friend.
"Hai, it's beautiful!"
Suppi smiled and flew over to the window. "Master used to take us out into the gardens
when it snowed. We'd sometimes have snowball fights and things like that! It was so much
fun! I wish you could have come here sooner!"
Tomoyo smiled and watched the cute little cat fly around. She looked far out to the
fountain where she had been last night. It had been cold, sitting on the snow like that. She
remembered how she shivered but hadn't cared one bit. She shivered again and wrapped
her robe around her more tightly.
Eriol walked into the room and smiled at the two. "Aren't you two hungry?"
Tomoyo turned and faced him. "Not too hungry but I suppose I could have a bite"
"How about you suppi?"
"No sweets!" Suppi-chan said flying over to her beloved master and landing on his head.
Eriol smiled and walked over to Tomoyo. He took her hand and led her into the kitchen
for their family breakfast. Outside, the snow fell onto the heavy old mansion. And, far off
was the garden maze and the fountain, covered in white snow.
