It has been ten full years since that horrible day. Tomoyo thought to herself.
Tomoyo grew from a young girl to a lady. She has her long raven hair tied up in a ponytail. Her body has adjusted to the change as well making her popular with the guys, also in the process making most girls envious of those looks. Tomoyo though didn't want the looks that reminded her ever single waking moment of her past within the palace walls. All she wanted was to be a normal 20 year old lady living in another country with the name "Madison".
"MADISON!!! Get down here now!!" A voice beckoned from the floor below her.
"Right away Mrs. Snake." She hollered back. "oh one of these days I'm going to make her bow before me!" She mumbled to herself.
Tomoyo went downstairs to Mrs. Snake's office. Mrs. Snake ran the orphanage Tomoyo lived in. Ever since Tomoyo came to her one night asking for a space to sleep in Mrs. Snake made her life a living hell. Mrs. Snake delighted in making Tomoyo's life as miserable as possible in anyway she can.
"Madison it took all my sources, but I got you a job! It's in Sparshott. It's called Al's fish Shoppe. Take the left road from here and when you get to the fork in the road go right! Got it!" She said.
"Yes ma'am Al's Fish Shoppe in Sparshott." She repeated.
"Good! Now get going!!!!!" She said and got up and left.
Tomoyo left that place only too delighted to be out the "snake's tangles" as she liked to call it. She didn't pay attention to any of the directions. Her thoughts went to the dream she had. It has been occurring all week. It was her dream of the past. While she was on the road her thought's wandered to the blue hair/ eyed boy she saw that last night she was princess. He was her only assuring thought she's had in these ten years. When she was little she had dreams about him coming on a white steed to save her from the drabs of England. Reality finally hit her when she reached a town.
"This must be Sparshott." She said to know one in particular.
Once Tomoyo entered the town everyone looked at her. It was the usual routine anywhere she went nowadays. The woman would all turn their heads and walk away, while the guys all stood gawking at her beauty. This time a couple of boys and Men turned their heads right away.
Tomoyo walked over to one of the few who looked away from her and asked for help. That particular man yelled at her calling her a particular word she hated. He called her a wench. After that he pushed her down hard. Everyone laughed at her. Those who were gauking at her now only made fun of her. All the women were laughing at her with their high pitched snooty voices. Only one gentleman didn't laugh instead he only came over to her and helped her up. She accepted his hand. She was not used to being laughed at by a crowd of people. The only that really laughed at her so cruelly was Mrs. Snake.
When she looked up to the face of the one that helped her she saw a blue eyed gentleman. She knew those eyes. It might be her knight and shining armor! When he said his name was Eli all chances were pretty much gone. The guy she hoped it was, was named Eriol. He politely answered her question with an answer that shocked her. This wasn't Sparshott at all it is Winchester. He refused for her to leave saying a young lass shouldn't walk these streets at night. He offered his house to her, and he wouldn't let her refuse. She followed him to his house as he was talking about history and it was boring. Then they reached his house one story house.
"I'm sorry it is messy. I wasn't expecting company." He told her.
"It's fine I'm sure it's not too messy."
"If you don't mind me asking miss but what is your name and age" He asked while looking for the right key to the house.
"No I don't mind. My name is Madison and I'm twenty turning twenty-one in February."
"Ah, here we are the right key." He responded as if he didn't hear her.
Just as Eli put the key into the door, the door opened and a young lady who looked about twenty-six or seven stepped out.
"It must be cold come in you two." she motioned to the house.
Both Eli and Tomoyo obliged. They walked in after her. Eli was removing his winter jacket and hat, while Tomoyo was removing her "winter" jacket if that's what you can call that piece of cloth. Tomoyo looked over at Eli. He had blue hair! The same shade as the boy she admired, but it couldn't be him. This guys name is Eli not Eriol. Eli noticed her looking at him and just got a questioned look on his face.
"Miss. Madison do I have something on my face?" He asked her.
"No. It's just you look like someone I once knew." she answered. Tomoyo right now found the floor more interesting than his face obviously since she was staring a hole right through it trying to conceal the blush that was taking over her face.
"As do you Miss Madison. Are you Hungry? my cousin Ruby has fixed up some food."
"Yes I am hungry as a matter of fact." She said looking up at him once she knew her blush was gone.
They all ate in silence though Eli and Ruby exchanged glances every so often as if talking. Tomoyo was growing tired of them doing that. She was about to speak up when Ruby did instead.
"I'm done are you Madison? little cuz?"She said standing up.
Eli handed her his plate and Tomoyo handed her plate, but also said thank you and it was delicious. Then Eli took her out to the living room. Out there they talked. Eli wanted to know where she had been before besides England. When she replied nowhere else he had the cutest little frown on his face. When she returned his question he said only one place. Japan. He told how he lived there till he was ten. Then the King was overthrown and he moved to England. That was when she knew for sure it was her knight and shining armor.
"So Eli, did you work in the palace."
"No, you would have seen me Princess. Wouldn't you of?" He dropped the bomb before she could.
"You are Right I would have seen you. Though I did see you that night the King was overthrown." She answered.
"Aww yes the night of the ball. I would have asked you to dance, but I figured that you were having fun with those Princes" He said sitting down and motioning her to do the same.
She knows that this was going to be an interesting conversation. Finally her knight has come to save her. She asked the first question.
"How did you escape?"
"I was one of the lucky ones I suppose. The moment I saw Prince Syaoran I knew it wasn't good news. I called on my staff. As soon as you and the Queen left I shot right in front of the King to protect him, but he told me to leave and fast not to stay but leave. I never got that. And once I got of there my first thought retreated back to you and the Queen hoping that at least one of you got out safely."
"You mean you could have saved my father, but you didn't because he told you not to! Why that's ridiculous! That was your job!" She said getting angry at the thought.
"Unfortunately, Even had I stayed I could not of saved his life. My powers weren't developed enough for that and surely Prince Syaoran brought his own Sorcerors." He countered looking up at her.
"Could you of least saved my mother?" She said still standing and raged.
"I might of been able to if I knew where you were at I followed you tracks all that night until I saw your mother's body. I picked it up and buried it. I will show you where sometime. I was exhausted by then and I knew you were a bright girl and probably got away." He responded to her attack.
"Thank you for burying my mother's body I was going to, but I didn't dare return. I appreciate your offer, but I will not be returning to Japan ever." She as if that was the end of the conversation.
"I'm sorry you feel that way Princess-" he started.
"No! Don't call me that! Call me Tomoyo or Madison. not Princess got it?"
"Yes of course. Anyway I'm sorry you feel that way, but we can talk in the morning about it." He said standing from his chair.
"There is nothing to talk about I'm not going back!"
"Here let me show you to your room." he said.
He took Tomoyo to what had to of been the biggest room in the house. It was furnished in blue. Everything was blue!
"Here will be your room for tonight." He whispered and let her to the room.
When he was in the linen closet getting out blankets and pillows he was thinking "I'm really sorry you feel that way, but I must return you as it is written in the prophecy. I wish you would come peacefully. I don't want to hurt you in any way. To me you are like a goddess." by time he finished that thought he was almost asleep on the couch.
Tomoyo grew from a young girl to a lady. She has her long raven hair tied up in a ponytail. Her body has adjusted to the change as well making her popular with the guys, also in the process making most girls envious of those looks.
