The Lure of the Moon
By Fanny chan
The last day
Tomoyo stretched from her lovely spot in the woods. Mentally, she counted the days and realization dawned on her that she would have to go back to campus this very day, this very morning. Sighing dejectedly, she headed to a nearby spring for her bath. The day she had dreaded was finally here.
"Eriol… Hiragizawa…" Tomoyo mummered softly. "Merely his name yet it strikes fear into my dark soul." She scrubbed herself gently. "And I know that he had also forced a painful emotion out of me. An infuriating emotion called love."
Sighing, she rinsed herself off and changed into one of her meagre supply of clothing she had managed to bring along before entering this forest nine days before.
*******************
Nine days were enough to even calm to wildest fire. Eriol's wildfire of agony and anger had longed extinguished itself and what were left were the ashes of pain and rage as well as the ever-growing amount of love.
Eriol woke up early though he did not have classes. He peered around the room, hoping to catch a glance at the beautiful dark haired girl who had caught hold of his heart. He had tried to escape her invisible clutches by drowning it with his sorrow and outrage but had failed miseribly in the end.
The more he buried it, the harder she grasped him and tried to pull it to the surface. By the eight day, his heart was open and he finally admitted defeat.
He swung his legs off the bed with one knowing fact in his mind.
"I have once again fallen deeply in love with my roomate, my ex-girlfriend and she goes by the name of Tomoyo Daidouji…"
He sighed before continuing slowly.
"Yet she'd also the one who would end my mortal life… tomorrow night…"
Strolling out of his room, he headed towards the lounge.
*******************
Sakura stretched slowly in somewhat anticipation. Opening her emerald eyes, she glanced at the morning sun. "Syaoran…" she mummered, hardly able to contain her excitement in her at this moment. "I'm meeting him today, finally."
Bouncing out of bed and over to her brother's, she could not help but yell into his ear to let out her pent up excitement.
"TOUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
It was amusing Touya could suddenly spring up, nearly hitting his head on the low ceiling. What was more amazing was how the gray haired man beside him could still be sleeping as still as a log…
*******************
A refreshed Tomoyo slowly made her way out of her 'mother' and embraced herself in a feeble attempt to keep out the stinging cold of the morning air, coldness she had not felt for the past nine days in the green foilage of her 'mother'.
A few moments later, she found herself standing outside of her dormitory. There was a deep intake of breath before she went inside and made her way towards her room.
As she walked past a black leather sofa situated in the lounge, a familiar, manly voice spoke up.
"Where, Tomoyo, had you been for the last nine days?"
Tomoyo freezed and her lovely amethyst pupils moved to fix on the figure on the couch.
Eriol, the last person she'd like to see.
*******************
Sakura ran, practically flew, towards Syaoran dorm room. She pushed open the door and gasped at the sight laid before her.
The room looked as if a hurricane had gone through. At the extreme corner, there was a chestnut haired boy burying his head into his knees, a few dolls thrown beside his prone figure.
"Syaoran?"
Worried, Sakura ran and embraced him.
"What's wrong? Syaoran?"
The boy raised his head to reveal dull amber and a tear streaked face.
"I'm useless Sakura. I simply can't find a way."
Sakura teared up and kissed him softly. "Don't worry. I'll be here beside you, forever and ever."
"Even after death?" Syaoran asked meekly.
Sakura nodded an affirmitive. "I will love you Syaoran, even after death. Let's wait and see what tomorrow will happen."
And that was just what they did for the rest of the morning, afternoon and evening."
*******************
Tomoyo slightly backed away as Eriol stood up and seemingly loom over her.
"I… was… somewhere." Tomoyo glanced at her hands and watched it was taken from her and grasped in another's palm.
"I don't care where you have been. I missed you Tomoyo." He brought his arms up and squeezed her tight, as if afraid that she was just a figment of his imagination."
Her image had haunted his mind, creating hallucinations. Tomoyo did nothing, she merely stood there like a statue, her arms lying limply by her sides. As Eriol pulled her away, she saw his eyes glazed over and, muttering a quick "sorry", he stalked slowy back to their room.
Tomoyo's eyes could not help but follow his every move and finally felt impulse take over. She could no longer control her emotions.
"Eriol? Please come back," she heard herself say. Eriol paused and turned slowly.
Hitching her long dress up a little, she ran and flung herself at him.
Tomoyo's POV
What am I doing? I've always been the mistress at keeping a mask, keeping emotions under control and have never, NEVER act on impulse. Never. So why am I hugging him?
His lips met mine. I have to pull away, but why am I returning it instead? I don't understand, no, I understand. I've fallen in love, a bitter sin to commit if you are as cold and evil as me. I was human, now half. Tomorrow there will be not a single part of me which is human.
There's no way for me to change the fact that I would kill Eriol unless, unless he kills me first.
Eriol's POV
I know how she feels and saw tears slipping out of her eyelids down her cheek. I know how she feels as well as she knows mine. She loves me as I love her but we can never be together, star-crossed lovers to the very end of our lives.
I kissed her tears away and lead her to our room. It would be terrible if anyone saw us like this.
I watched her cry her heart out on her bed. Then, as I watched her tear streaked face, I suggested something which I hope she'd agree.
"Why don't we go to the place you have been staying at for the past few days? I know it had taken a lot of pain away. It must be a very wonderful place."
Tomoyo nodded mutely and wiped her tears.
She slowly held my hand and let me out of the dormitory, out of campus and into an old forgotten forest nearby.
So this is where she had been. It is no surprise. One look at the rushing river, the deep green foilage which blocked out sunlight and the soft soil beneathe me, I knew this was heaven.
I saw the same look I had displayed on her face, a mixture of happiness and wonder.
We remained that position and watched the sunset. I have always admired the brave bright sun and the cool pale moon. I'd watched the sun and the moon whenever I could and through this experience of mine, I had found this was the most beautiful and significant sunset so far. However, I know tomorrow's one will be more amazing and meaningful than today's as tomorrow's would be my last…
End Eriol's POV
*******************
Do I need to tell what is going to happen tomorrow? I guess I can't as I would never know what tomorrow will bring. Especially tomorrow night…
*******************
Just a little reminder for the next chapter. Expect the unexpected. Tell me what you'd expect for next chapter.
