::Chapter 10::

Tomoyo looked to Eriol questioning as he directed her to sit on the grass next to the roses and himself. If she wasn't so curious she could have enjoyed the view, the sky was darkening though it was only six in the afternoon. The horizon was giving off colorful hues of red, orange, purple, and a smudge of blue suteki da ne? "Eto…Tomoyo, I know we've haven't spent that much time but…" She tilted her head and let the warm tones light up her face. For a moment Eriol could only stare and fall into the way she seemed to keep his eyes fixed and his voice silent. "Are you going to make me leave Eriol?" she asked quietly breaking the spell.

She knew it was only a matter of time and his eyes looked grave it was the same expression when he ran away. She couldn't forget that face; she just didn't understand, he could have done anything else. 'Iie Tomoyo I don't feel the same way' or 'Can we just leave as friends.' He gave her nothing. Yet…she was still here waiting for him. There were times when she felt he cared for her the same way, but she dismissed it as her imagination. Kaho was nowhere to be found and Eriol never mentioned her. All this just smashed together like alphabet soup; she couldn't make sense of anything.

Sweating profusely Eriol didn't know how to reply, he was taken aback at how shrewd Tomoyo was, but he had to admit that was one of the qualities he liked in her. He decided another approach was better "now that we're friends again…I don't want you to get hurt again, I have Clow business to finish" she sent him a sharp look that quickly turned sad, "If you force me to leave then, that will hurt even more. I want to spend more time here Eriol and with hanging around Sakura don't you think I can take care of myself? And…besides I never booked return tickets." She stood up and left leaving him once again to pick up his jaw. She had won the round again…but he wasn't that miserable to find himself losing.

She stretched her arms into her pillow, and snuggled herself more into the covers. She had already informed both Shiori and Miru that strange things and dangerous happenings would come about soon. They wouldn't leave her she knew, but they should know what was to come as a warning. She felt a distinct pang that people feel when they know no one is in the house. She got up and quickly got ready to start the day.

Practically jogging down the stairs she saw that the front door was left ajar and that two people she would last expect to see were there. Her cousin Touya and Yukito-san were outside talking to Eriol as if a continent never separated them. She wore a bemused expression when she realized that Ruby Moon was firmly attached to the former.

He was glaring the best he could, but it was no use Akizuki wouldn't get the hint to liberate him. Oh right…he never could convince Akizuki to stop, he always left that to Yukito. Where was he anyways? He then felt Akizuki loosening to prey on another poor victim; well at least he was safe…for now. Turning to see who the person that supplanted his position he did a double take…Tomoyo, his little sister almost was here? She was supposed to be on a business trip; safe from whatever Hiirigizawa had called them to help him with. He would have to have a nice talk with that glasses boy later.

Tomoyo was pretty used to the hugs by now and even responded to Ruby Moon with equal enthusiasm. Grinning Ruby Moon released her and dragged her to where the rest of them were gathered with the luggage. Yukito handed something over to Eriol who took it carefully and called Ruby Moon over. What had once been Yukito…emerged Yue who stood gazing hushed.

Eriol directed his guardian Ruby Moon and Yue on both corners of the book, placing himself between them he started the incantation that would unseal the book.

"ανοίγω the θόλος και εισέρχομαι έναs κόσμοs ; επανορθώνω the παρελθών επιδιορθώνω missteps. πότε δύο ψυχή ευθυγραμμίζω. φυσαρμόνικα pervades."

The effect was instantaneous, the book illuminated in it's own light basking the guardians and Eriol in an eerie light. Tomoyo could only gasp as a figure seem to emerge from the covers, he looked like a much older Eriol…Clow Reed stood before them. Eriol snapping out of his gaze realized that Clow seemed to be waiting and stepped forward, whatever he had thought the book was holding was cast aside…wrong. He never imagined he'd see Clow outside of his head clearly visible to everyone else.

There are no coincidences…whatever was to happen they were all involved.
