~***~
Tomoyo stared back at Eriol, who staring just as intently back at her. Both didn't notice the oily black fog until it had swallowed both of them up.
Tomoyo looked around in the darkness of the fog.
~Oh dear, I wonder where I am now. This is what comes of wandering around after one is suppose to be in bed I suppose. Hmm, should I call Sakura-chan? But then I would not be able to record her! What a disaster! I didn't bring my camera…and I didn't bring my cell phone!~
~I guess I'll have to get out of this myself, without Sakura-chan's help.~
Tomoyo started walking through the endless black.
~Strange, there's nothing here. Everything around me feels the same, all smooth, dark and I can't sense any exits. Huh, I can't "sense" any exits? I thought I had no magical powers, maybe it's just my imagination.~
~Oh no dear one, it isn't your imagination. It's real, my magic has enclosed you within this magical area that I have set, just for a pleasant chat for you.~
Tomoyo looked around frantically, trying to locate the bodiless voice. It echoed throughout the darkness and reverberated inside her head. Tomoyo ran, desperate to find someone, desperate not to be the only one in the terrible darkness with that horrible disembodied voice. She ran, not caring where she was going.
Suddenly, she ran into a quite solid thing. Terrified out of her wits, she pushed herself away and tried to run. However, the solid object wasn't quite ready to let her go. It grasped her arm and pulled her into its body.
Tomoyo screamed in terror and wrestled with her unknown opponent. She striked at where she thought its face would be….and came in contact with…a pair of glasses. She knocked the glasses off her opponent's face.
"Excuse me, please watch where you're trying to hit me! Those glasses cost me quite a bit, and I would appreciate you not trying to shatter them into tiny little pieces, Daidoji-san."
"Hirigizawa-kun, I am so sorry! But I didn't know it was you!" Said Tomoyo, as she clung to him. She was still extremely scared, and she wasn't about to lose Eriol in the dark.
Eriol, startled by her actions, stumbled and fell. Tomoyo, also caught off balance fell with him, landing on top of him. His glasses fell off again, since he had just put them back on after Tomoyo had knocked them. The landed in a tangle of arms and legs, Eriol blushed when he realized that Tomoyo's nightgown was made of such a thin material. Her body was hugging right against him, and Eriol felt confused.
Tomoyo realized what position they were in; she scrambled to her feet, embarrassed. Eriol got up, still a bit dazed. Tomoyo felt something odd in her hands, it was Eriol's glasses. She gave them back to him wondering, how did they get into her hands. She hadn't known where they had flown off, she had only heard the clatter of the metal frames as it landed. Then all of a sudden, they were in her hands.
Calmed, Eriol looked around, he still couldn't see a thing. He reached out with his magic to make sure Tomoyo was still there.
"Daidoji-san?"
"I'm here."
Tomoyo reached out and touched his hand. Her very touch sent unknown chills up Eriol's spine.
Eriol still continued to scan with his magical senses for the enemy, he reached over to where he knew Tomoyo was. Expecting to see her dull purple spark, he looked. It wasn't there. Startled again, he reached out his hand for Tomoyo.
"Daidoji-san, please let me know where you are."
"I'm right next to you, Hirigizawa-kun. Is something wrong?"
Eriol reached out again and found Tomoyo's hand and grasped it tightly. Surprised, Tomoyo almost freed her hand from his firm grasp.
Looking for an explanation for his sudden actions, Eriol quickly assured Tomoyo, "don't worry Daidoji-san, I just want to make sure you are there."
Tomoyo calmed down, together they started off, looking for an exit.
They walked for quite a while, without any difference in the atmosphere around them.
Unexpectedly they came to what seemed to be a wall. They felt around the wall, there was no change in the wall, apparently it went on forever.
A voice boomed out in there heads, ~Stop where you are! That is the shield that surrounds my magical area, you weaklings cannot possibly escape!~
"What do you want with us?" Yelled Eriol, still holding Tomoyo's hand. Tomoyo felt reassured that Eriol would be able to solve everything, after all, even with only half of his powers, he was still very powerful.
~Nothing from you, I want the girl next to you. I sensed an incredible aura from her, hidden deep within her, yet it is there. Give me the girl and I'll let you go!~
"Never! Daidoji-san is one of my friends, I won't let you have her without a fight!"
~If that is what you want, I shall comply!~
The dark fog lifted, and the two realized where they were. They were in a deserted plain, standing on dead, dried grass, they could see nothing for miles, except for the endless plain.
~Here is where we shall battle, if you win, you shall take the girl home safe! However, if I win, the girl is mine!~
"Don't Hirigizawa-kun, you could get hurt!" Eriol turned towards Tomoyo, ignoring the fluttering in his heart, seeing her in her nightgown. Although she was still young, her curves were beginning to become visible under the flimsy white cloth. Blushing lightly, he turned away from her.
"Daidoji-san, I must. It's not only for you, but I must find out the nature of this creature."
Eriol turned towards the voice, "I accept!"
~***~
Tomoyo felt despair, she knew Eriol was strong, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Eriol could easily get injured, and it was all because she had decided to go for that stupid night walk.
~No! I don't want this! I don't want this to happen! It can't!~
Tomoyo screamed over and over inside her head.
~No! Just STOP!!!!~
Tomoyo yelled with all her might inside her head. The plain started to crumble into dust. Eriol whipped around to look at Tomoyo, she was glowing a brilliant pale pink, the color of Sakura's aura.
~Whaaa---???~
Eriol's last thought as he was swept up in a creamy pink mist. Unaware of Tomoyo's aura which had turned back to its usual dull purple spark. Both of them were lost in the darkness as the mist bore them away from the rapidly crumbling plain.
~Don't worry young one, I will get you soon. And I will get that young man of yours too…!~
~***~
Tomoyo and Eriol, unaware of each other in the same state, drifted in the comfortable void. A voice rang out, different from the horrid, blank voice they had heard before, this voice was warm and soothing.
~Young maiden, young man, you have just witnessed the power.~
~Reverse power, black and white magic, what ever you want to call it. I sense a question in you, young man and I shall answer it. The reason you weren't able to sense it is because it is reversed. Your regular magic is completely opposite from black and white magic. You weren't able to sense it because it's not magic. The opposite of magic is non-magic, yet it is still magic.~
~Non-magic is the most powerful force in the world. Your magic is light, however, non-magic can be said to be the dark. It is different from dark magic, the kind you battle in evil monsters and such. Their magic is dark because they are dark. Non-magic however, the given one may be either dark or light. It doesn't matter, yet that one person will not be aware of their power until it is too late.~
~Now you must go, my power cannot keep you here long.~ The voice began to fade, but not without one last message.
~The eternal sadness, no one will be able to stop it. The dark one will not succeed, the winged one will prevail, though it may not be want he or she wants…~
~***~
Tomoyo woke up in her bed as if nothing had happened. She felt something strange on her face, a cool feeling. She reached up, they were tears, tears of extreme sadness and sorrow. The kind one wept one when one knew the end was coming…
Eriol woke up in his leather chair in his library, with the blanket still covering him. He found himself in the same state as Tomoyo.
None of them remembered anything…..
