The Lure of the Moon
By Fanny chan
Accepting new feelings
Tomoyo gripped the phone tightly. It was unbelivable, a dream which was too good to be true. Perhaps that was why it was really too good to be genuine and a rock hard fact hit her, making her mentally tumble back and her dreams shattered into a milion pieces.
"Hello? Tomoyo? Are you still there? I'm just joking! April Fool!" Eriol answered, breaking the long moment of silence between them.
Tomoyo had guessed correctly. It was just a stupid little joke played on an idiotic April Fool's Day.
"I knew that," Tomoyo answered in a placid tone despite the turmoil and chaos occuring in her own heart. "Interesting April Fool's joke though. The most amusing one I came across so far. Well, love ya too, as a joke that is."
Calmly she hanged up and stared at her open drawer. Placing the photo frame back, she took out and placed her journal on her desk. A small, sad smile played on her lips, very different from her once conceited and cool smirk.
"It must be the human part in me causing this." She sighed. "I guess I just have to get use to it." Smiling forlornly, Tomoyo reminisced how good and simple her life was with her mother, who is already dead now, before a person by the name of Eriol Hiragizawa entered her life and enraptured her, blinding her from reality.
She had thought then that her life could not get any better. She was way off base. Her life started changing for the worse after a teacher by the name of Kaho Mizuki came to teach her class.
"I had to betray you for the sake of Kaho… I'm sorry Tomoyo," were the exact words Eriol had said to her after that fateful lastest meeting with Kaho and Tomoyo felt that it would not be the last.
She flipped to the first page of her thick journal and read silently.
"The date is 31th January 1898. I had decided to start this journal because of a foreign student who arrived today. At first sight, I had a strange twitch in my heart. I do not know what caused that twitch but I don't care. All I know is that I would be all smitten once he is near me. It's like he had cast a spell over me, causing me to be bewitched by him. His beautiful midnight blue hair and captivating azure eyes.
Wow, I had not wanted to write so much but I had a lot of things to tell you. Tell you more about this guy soon okay journal?"
Her smile widened as she read on. It was amazing how much she had forgotten about the past but now memories kept on flowing. She halted at the page where the fateful day of her transformation was written descriptively. She had given a full account on what had happened that day and how much she hated Eriol for that. Tomoyo frowned as she continued.
For the next few months, six months to be exact, she had spent her life in misery. For the first few days living in darkness, her journal entries decreased and soon enough, all her entries were almost identical. "Searching for a cure to get revenge, no time to write."
Tomoyo was horrified at how meaningless her life had been. Then finally, she wrote on how a clumsy servant had changed her life. Tomoyo flipped to a very recent date, which was the day of her illness.
Finally, smiling bitterly, she turned to an empty page and began writing.
"Today is April Fool's Day. Hiragizawa had shocked me when he said he loves me but soon enough, I found out that it was all a joke, an April Fool's joke. I was minding my own business when my cellphone rang. Then Eriol just told me that he love me, after that, he left me heart-broken as he said it was a joke. Why couldn't he call me tomorrow or even the day after next? Why today? Why on an April Fool's day?
I guess I don't want to vent my frustrations on you anymore. Later I'm going to the forest. It is just near the school if you did not know. I remember seeing a small lake there while passing by. Well, I'm done. I'll write later to tell you what happen at the forest okay?"
Contented, she closed her book, placed it in her drawer and locked it. Checking to make sure it's locked, she grabbed her books and headed for her next class.

The two of them finally pulled apart due to lack of air. Syaoran barely heard her saying "Sorry but I have fallen in love with you…Syaoran…" before Sakura ran away at a great speed. Syaoran stared at the cloud of dust she left behind.
"I should be sorry Sakura… I love you too…but I have to kill you… werewolves are not suppose to be in a relationship. Part human or not…"
Just at that moment, he felt a gust of wind surrounding him and an angelic voice spoke. "Syaoran, I hope you do not disappoint my daughter. Remember, your fate and decisions lies only in yourself. Let your human part take over. Remember what was forgotten. Remember the meaning of true love."
With that, Nadeshiko left a confused Syaoran behind, a tiny crystal glowing in his palms. Smiling dejectedly, he slipped the tiny crystal into his pocket and headed back towards his dorm, head bowed low, deep in thought.
"I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can prevent hurting Sakura once in my other form.

It was sunset. Tomoyo strolled along the bank of the river as she watched the sun hid itself behind the horizon, the sky a beautiful mixture of orange, red and gold. Soon, dusk fell and the dark sky was lit with plenty of sparkling stars and a silver moon. Pausing, she sat down and studied her reflection in the clear, calm waters.
She peered in, expecting to see two dark violet orbs, two cold, evil, emotionless pupils staring back at her. However, instead of those, she received gentle, caring, loving, soft light violet orbs. She sighed as she quickly darted away from her reflection.
"I have change for the better," she decided, then smiled. "I have change for the better!" However, her vampire side is not going to let Tomoyo get away with this this easily. It will try to take control of her body and mind as well as her heart and soul…
*******************
Can these half humans get rid of their demon parts? Or are they doomed to kill their lover in 13 days?
