Tears of the Phoenix
Chapter Five:
Tomoyo tried to look away from his eyes, but his hand kept her chin up.
Her head had started to spin, why this question out of the blue?? Why her??
"Tomoyo-san??"
"Ano.... Eriol-kun..... watashi wa...... ano..... Anata wa......" she had no idea what she was supposed to say. It was only a week and a bit since he told her that he was engaged to some women back in his own country and here he was, asking her whether she would follow him if he asked.
Why was she even debating this answer?? Here was where she belonged, how much would she miss or lose if she left with him?? But she'd lose him if she didn't follow....
What would it matter to her if she lost him? He was just a guest, someone who probably didn't even care about her, but if he didn't care about her, why was he asking this question??
"Oi, Tomoyo, Someone's here for......." Touya said bursting into the room pausing when he saw just how close Tomoyo and Eriol were.
Tomoyo immediately moved away from Eriol, quickly getting up and following Touya out of the room.
"I'll give you my answer another day......" She said softly to him before walking out.
"Tomoyo-san," Eriol called out to her.
"Nani??"
"I'll be waiting....."
Tomoyo looked at him carefully, trying to hide the happiness showing through her eyes. "Aa..." She said softly, the blood rising to her cheeks.
"What was all that about??" Touya asked as they walked towards the courtyard.
"He asked me something......"
"What question??"
"Nothing, nothing for you to worry about."
Tomoyo walked around the marketplace, searching for stalls that sold what she sought.
Eriol walked alongside her, carrying the basket.
"Tomoyo-san??"
"Nani??"
"Have you reached an answer yet??"
Tomoyo looked at the ground, her cheeks burning, "Iie, not yet......"
"Tomoyo??" a voice said uncertainly in front of her.
Her head shot up at recognition of the voice.
"Ah, Tomoyo-san, it is you......" the owner of the voice said in delight
Tomoyo smiled weakly as she looked at the young man about the same age as her, "Daisuke-kun......"
He smiled brightly at Tomoyo, brushing his jet black hair away from his face, but faltered when he took one look at Eriol.
"Daisuke-kun, this is Hiiragizawa Eriol, a diplomat from England."
"Hajimemashite......." Eriol said politely.
"Eriol, this is Shiomi Daisuke, an old friend of mine."
Daisuke only nodded, showing his dislike towards Eriol
"Well, Tomoyo-chan, it was nice to run in to you..... Perhaps I'll see you again sometime...... catch up....." Daisuke said hesitantly, his grey eyes watching Eriol cautiously as he began to walk away.
"Aa," Tomoyo agreed, smiling feebly before grabbing Eriol by the arm and rushing away through the crowd.
"What was that all about??" Eriol asked as Tomoyo released his arm and stopped pulling him
"Nothing....."
"Well there definitely was something........"
"...."
"Was there something going on between the two of you before....."
"..."
"There must've been, I mean the way you looked at him......."
"Yeah, we were....."
"Hontou???" Eriol cried out gleefully, "Wow! What a great guess, didn't think I was that smart!!"
"Baka......" She said under her breath.
"Ne, gomen Tomoyo-san, I didn't mean to be rude. So... tell me a bit more. Why'd you guys break up??"
"I broke of the engagement because of a clash in opinions......"
"Clash??"
Tomoyo nodded solemnly, "He joined the Seika Ryoshi......"
"I see.... And that obviously angered you??"
"Mochiron!! He had suddenly devoted his life to hunting a legend about my ancestors, which meant in a way he hunted me...."
"Did he say why he joined them??"
"A while back, his grandfather was supposedly killed by the phoenix, he'd been angry about it all his life....."
"Is that true?? That the Phoenix killed his grandfather?"
"Of course not!!"
"Did you tell him that??"
She nodded, "He said that I was supposed support him like any good bride," she said hatred filling her voice, "He said that when we got married, all my opinions and things I had to say would be shushed. That there would be no more of this 'nonsense' from me. That nobody wanted to listen to a hassle-some and annoying woman. Funny how before we were engaged, he told me that it was my opinions and the way that I thought, that had attracted him to me, not my beauty." She laughed hatefully, "Some lie that was."
"Sou ka....."
"I tell you all that and that's all you can say??"
"Ano.... Tomoyo-san......I didn't mean-"
She rolled her eyes, "Some great advice you give......." she said walking away from him.
Quickly he caught her wrist, pulling her towards him. He held her so that she faced him directly.
"Anyone who says that they don't love you for who you are, for what you are and for what you'll be is an idiot, I'll be envious of the person who does find a way to capture your heart...."
Tomoyo looked at him sincerely but quickly shook him away, "Baka....." she said softly, trying to hide her smile.
"Did I do good?" he asked
Tomoyo only laughed taking his hand and leading him to the next stall.
Tomoyo sat by the lake, ripples running along its smooth surface as the carp emerged every now and then.
Tomoyo took out the blood red stone around her neck and looked around.
'The Seika Ryoshi are out tonight,' she thought.
She touched the stone as it glimmered in the moonlight.
"Henjiro....." She whispered quietly. [Transform, change]
The stone gave off a bright light, a long cry echoing in her head. Tomoyo could feel her heart beating in fury as the flames engulfed her.
Daisuke signaled his horse to move on through the swamp, the horse shaking its head at the disapproval of the command, "Hayaku...." he commanded willing the horse to move on.
Reluctantly it moved through the swamp as he scanned for any sigh of the firebird.
Suddenly he heard a cry not too far ahead, as a huge ball of fire swooped across the sky.
It dived and darted playfully through the night sky, as if it were taunting him. Quickly he lit his torch and waved it about high in the air, and soon horses hooves were thundering across the plain.
"Shiomi, Hayaku....." [Siomi(Daisuke) hurry]
Quickly Daisuke weaved his way back out of the swamp chasing after the rest of the men.
'One day,' he thought, 'he would capture that phoenix, cut out its heart and prove to Tomoyo that he was right......'
A.N: Okay, I got to update Untouchable so I wont right that much this time......
