Every Life Have It's Share Of Pain
Chapter 4: We Meet Again
By Hally Dang
Her head was throbbing with pain as she slowly regained consciousness. She had drifted into a world of darkness and pain, now she can feel herself being lifted from the blackness and into the bright warm light. Warmth tingled through her body as her head cleared and she finally recaptures wakefulness.
Tomoyo opened her eyes to the blinding light.
She found herself in extensive room with white marble walls and glimmering wooden floors. She was wrapped in blue satin sheets and duck feathered comforters that spoke of great wealth. The king sized bed she was lying on was made of top quality rosewood curved in beautiful colonial designs. The window on her right was covered in blue satin drapes that matched perfected with the bed sheets. Even though the furniture that surrounded her screamed of elegance and fortune, the room itself was quite simple. There was only one bed placed on the far end of the room, with a matching nightstand on each side, in the space above the head board hung an aesthetic painting of cerulean tulips. There was also a blue armchair on it's left. The room looked simplistic and bare, no doubt designed for only a quick stay.
She sat up, a loose white night gown hung on her shoulders.
"How did I get here?" Tomoyo asked herself out loud. Puzzled.
Suddenly, she remembered.
She was hit by a car. A limo at that.
"Where am I?" she questioned aloud. She through back the covers and stood up. Her bare feet meet the cold floor, making her shiver slightly. She walked quietly to the window and drew back the heavy curtain to meet to bright sunshine. Carefully unlocking the window she pushed it open.
A light breeze brushed though her raven hair, making it fly gently behind her as she stuck her head outside.
"Wow," she softly breathed to herself as her eyes studied the subdued scene before her.
She was in a mansion, it was far bigger than her own in Japan, and the land that surrounded it seem to be as big as three soccer fields. She looked below herself, she was on the third floor of an old fashioned mansion. The walls were covered in freshly spouted evy leaves. The chateau was huge, judging by the numbers of windows she estimated that there must by over 50 rooms in total.
The estate itself was absolutely breathtaking. Even though it was only Spring the grass seem to be already on its best, green as ever. And the patch of forest on the manor's south side was spouting lovely green leaves. There was a large lake on the estate's east side, it took up about a fifth of the land, looked as tranquil as ever, casting a flawless reflection of the area encircling it. Everything look utterly joyful, they seem to be dance in the light gales of Spring, celebrating the arrival of Summer and life. The clear sky and brilliant sun shine made the scene seen even more comforting and, somewhat, magical. The landscape around her was utterly picturesque, like taken directly from a painting.
She took a big breath of fresh air, and letting herself relax in the cool breeze and warm sunshine, surrounded by the beauties of the land that calmed her heart and soul. She closed her eyes, letting herself drift far away, letting her soul dance with the jubilant Spring wind.
A sound at the door made her jump.
She briskly closed the window and turned to face the door.
"Tomoyo-chan!" A red haired woman exclaimed as she came into the room. "You are awake!" Her voice was high, smooth and bubbly as ever, and was strangely familiar to Tomoyo's ears.
Tomoyo was taken over by surprise, she did not expect to know this woman. "Hello," she managed, hiding her surprise from her face well.
The woman laughed, she came to Tomoyo and engulfed her into a warm, tight hug. "You have changed so much, Tomoyo-chan!" She seems to be so much younger than what she appears to be. "I can't believe it has been seven years." She still had her arms around Tomoyo.
"I'm sorry," Tomoyo managed to choke out from the woman's gasps. "But I don't think I know you."
She loosened her grip. "Don't be silly, Tomoyo-chan, of course you know me."
Tomoyo paused and studied the woman before her. She was very pretty. Her bright red hair was sleek and lustrous in the sunshine. Her pale soft skin seemed to glow softly in the light, and her expression was warm and friendly. She was about a foot taller than Tomoyo, and her fierce red eyes were sparkling with emotions. She was dressed in a gray silk dress suit, that spoke of wealth and refinement. But somehow her elegant appearance didn't seem to suit her for there was something about her that made her seem like only a school child. And there was also something about this woman that was very familiar to Tomoyo.
Then it hit her.
Floods of memories came rushing back to her.
"Nakuru-chan!" Tomoyo exclaimed, shocked. "It that you?"
The woman gave a little laugh. "Long time no see, Tomoyo-chan."
Tomoyo smiled at her old friend. She had never expected her to be the jubilant teenage girl she had known when she was in elementary school. Instead of the hyper, jumpy girl she had remembered, the woman in front of her was graceful and…different. "You have changed so much!"
"That's ridiculous, Tomoyo-chan," Naruku said, waving a hand. "Master requested me to dress up today, so I can accompany him to his business meeting."
"Master?"
"Don't you remember Tomoyo-chan?" Nakuru pushed back a strand of red hair from her eyes. "Master Eriol Hiiragisawa." Referring to a blue haired boy she barely knew about seven years ago.
Tomoyo nodded. "You mean this whole Estate belongs to Hiiragisawa-kun?" Tomoyo asked, she had always known that her mystical friend was wealth, after all he was the recarination of the Great Magician Clow Reed. But she had never expected him to own a home this big, it just didn't seem normal for an 18 year old.
"Yes," Nakuru replied, and sensing Tomoyo's credibility added. "It might be surprising in a way, but Master Eriol brought this Manor, a couple of years back, for his beloved Mitsuki-chan. She loved this place." Her voice turned from it's cheerily tones to a bitter murmur.
Tomoyo nodded gently, stopping herself from asking more questions.
There was a long pause between the two.
"Care to tell me how exactly I ended up here?" Tomoyo suddenly asked breaking the silence that seemed to be forever. She started to play with her long raven locks.
"I'm not sure," Nakuru said laughing once more. "We were on our way to a business meeting this morning when our car suddenly stopped. It turned out, we've hit you!" Nakuru put a comforting arm on Tomoyo's shoulder. "Master Eriol insisted on bring you here, he was very worry about you." Nakuru's eyes were starry as she drifted back into her memories, but they suddenly snapped back to attention as she added, "I'm so glad you are okay."
"So it was Hiiragisawa-kun's limo which had hit me," Tomoyo said as she pondered if those strong arms she had felt lifting her up were his.
"He was so worried about you," Nakuru said again. "Thank goodness you are alright."
There was another long pause.
The door suddenly creaked open.
A black cat like creature walked in. He had big blue eyes and tiny butterfly wings. He was graceful and majestic as he quietly made his way to the duo by the window.
"There you are Nakuru," the creature said monotonously. "I was looking all over for you." He studied them with his large eyes. "Why, Tomoyo-chan, you are awake."
Tomoyo smiled. "Spinnel Sun," she said as she recognized the black cat. "How are you?"
"Just fine, thank you," Spinnel replied politely. "How are you feeling?"
"Great," she lied with a fake smile. Her head was still throbbing with pain.
"Are you sure?" the cat asked, as it flew to level itself with Tomoyo. "I have heard what happened earlier. I hope there is nothing wrong." He looked suspiciously at Tomoyo, as if he knew she was lying.
"I'm really alright," Tomoyo lied again.
Spinnel nodded.
"Oh Suppi!" Nakuru suddenly spoke up. She sounded so much like a small child begging for candy. "Stop it! Tomoyo-chan is just fine!"
"No harm in making sure," Spinnel replied turning his gaze to Nakuru.
"You're annoying her!" Nakuru said her voice rising.
"Nakuru-chan I---" Tomoyo began, trying to stop the two from arguing, it was making her head ache even more.
"Please," the feline shout back, cutting Tomoyo off at the same time. "You are the one who is annoying her."
"Me?" Nakuru's voice was nearly a shout. "How dare you say I'm the one who is annoying when clearly you are!"
Tomoyo stared amazingly at the two. Some things never change. A small smile escaped her lips, a real smile. She giggled as the argument raged on before her.
She suddenly found herself drifting back into memories she had tired to hard to forget. It was about seven years ago, her best friends Sakura had unleashed the powerful Clow Cards from their book, and that's where her life was turned upside down. That was the time when she suddenly realized that she was in love with Sakura. Love so much different from the bond between two close friends, it was genuine true love. Tomoyo remembered of all the time she spent watching the tapes of Sakura she had made, and laughing at how cute she was wearing the costumes she had made for her. And just when they thought that all the drama had finally ended, Eriol Hiiragisawa came into their complicated lives. And that's when they found out that he was the powerful recarnition of Clow Reed.
"Tomoyo-chan?" the quiet voice of the feline snapped Tomoyo back into attention.
"Yes?" she said, realizing the argument had came to a close.
"Nakuru and I are going to leave in peace now," Spinnel continued as he landed evenly on Nakuru's shoulder. "Please catch some rest."
Nakuru nodded in agreement. "And, do you think you can have diner with us tonight?"
"I…um…really…I…um…"
"Come on, Tomoyo-chan," Nakuru pleaded. "Please? I'm sure Master will be delighted to meet you again."
"I…" Tomoyo didn't know what to say, she had never had a close relationship with Eriol. "I would be happy to." She finally decided as she looked at Nakuru's begging puppy eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His fingers danced gracefully across the ivory piano keys. Enchantingly beautiful music was pouring out the lifted covers of the grand piano. The symphonic melody was incredibly soft, filled with sadness and regret. Each note seemed to tell a mournful story of it's own as the pianist played skillfully.
His eyes were closed as his hands flew over the keys, showing off years of practice and talent. The way he played seemed almost effortless, as notes after notes of sadness rang clearly through the empty room. He was playing a song of hidden sadness.
It was early evening. The moon was only gradually showing off it's pale light, as the sun retired for another day. And only one bright star can be distinguish among the heavens. It was one of those lovely evening, where everything looked to clam and peaceful as they stood before the sitting sun. It was the type of evenings where you want to paint a picture of, to be remembered forever.
Yet on such a distinct night, a soft hum of sadness can be heard. As a skillful pianist played his own story of sorrow and pain. Into the music, he poured out all the tears he had bottled in for so long. Into the music he poured out his mourning soul and shattered heart.
If there was someone there to listen, they would have been crying, as the grievous woeful song played on. But on this warm evening he was alone in the spacious sunroom, which was used as the music room, with his head down, eyes closed and fingers dancing on the white keys.
Because the music was playing so loud and because he was so absorbed into the song, he did not notice the double doors of the sunroom open, and a black figure quietly slipped through.
As the song finally came to a close, soft clapping rang steadily throughout the room. His eyes snapped open revealing breathtakingly beautiful arctic blue eyes, as they searched through the shadows of the unlit room.
"Why such a sad song?" a clear soprano voice asked.
"Good evening, Daidouji-san," he replied instead as a familiar grin came to his face. "So we meet again."
"Good evening to you too, Hiiragisawa-kun. It's been so long," a figure stepped out of the shadows and approached the piano in the center of the room. "That was a beautiful song. Sad but beautiful."
"Yes it was," he replied, looking down at the keys again. He started to play another song, this time a more joyful one. He played in a much soft tone so that their voices can still be heard. "Come, please sit down." He moved a bit to the right of the piano bench, allowing the figure to sit down beside him.
"Thank you," she moved over. Her long black locks fell forwards as she sat, but she gracefully pushed them behind her ears.
There was a long pause between them.
"I want to apologize, Daidouji-san," he told her, stilling playing.
"For what?" she asked as she turned to face him. The room was dim, almost in darkness, and she can barely make out the detailed of her surroundings.
"For what happened this morning," he replied. "I'm truly sorry."
She gave a light laugh, and waved her hand. "No need, Hiiragisawa-kun. I was the one to blame. I really should have been more careful."
He flashed her a smile. "I still feel very guilty," he told her. There was another pause. "Would you like to stay at my manor for your visit to England?" He suddenly asked. "I do have a lot of room. Besides I really want to make it up to you."
"But there is no need," she replied. She really didn't feel comfortable around him, after all they barely knew each other. "I'll be alright at the hotel I'm staying at."
"Please be my guest, Daidouji-san," he told her, trying to get her to change her mind. "I don't get visitors often. And Nakuru and Spinnel are always complaining about how empty the house is." He turned to face her, while his hands were still playing. A playful smile appeared upon his lips. "My home offers everything in a five star hotel. Great service, delectable meals, famous vines, all for the price of nothing."
Tomoyo laughed. "They do sound quite temping." She was still considering the offer. She had to admit that everything do sound wonderful, yet a part of her was denying the offer. She had a funny feeling about this. Eriol seemed to always have something unexpected up his sleeve.
"Think about it," he told her, sensing that she wasn't going to give him an answer now.
She nodded.
He stopped playing and stood up, offering Tomoyo an arm. "Shall we go to diner then?" He asked.
Tomoyo laughed and took his arm, allowing him to lead her out the door.

Yeah, yeah I know, the last part of this chapter SUCKED. I just kind of lost my touch during the last few paragraphs. So I know I know flame me all you want, but I SWEAR that the next chapter is going to be WAY better. (at least I hope it will ~_~)
