A/n: I hope I didn't make anyone too OOC? .; I think this is how I review the characters tho…[has experience with reading fan fiction? XD] I also had a bit of trouble uploading to ff.net [last chapter] gomen for the delay. ^-^

Disclaimer: Read the others?

::Chapter 11::

"Clow-sama" Yue who was usually silent was now showing various emotions on his face…longing was one. He ran toward his past master but was kept back by Ruby Moon; lunging forward he easily got away from his grip and went past Clow's form. He wasn't there…he wasn't alive…he was still gone. He tried to stop his tears and felt two arms encircle him; Ruby Moon was trying to comfort him the best way he could. He felt a wan smile through his tears; he usually gave the compassion and comfort. At least in his other form.

Clow smiled serenely and directed his gaze from Yue to Eriol; "It's nice to see you again Yue…Tomoyo you do choose your friends wisely." At this Tomoyo almost jumped out of her skin, he wasn't really there but it was if...if..."You've prophesized this before hand haven't you Clow" Eriol finished her thought with voice. Clow went to cleaning his glasses, "Yes…I did, but only enough to talk to you all…nothing more of course." Touya spoke up "You've been toying with us all to arrive at the same spot didn't you?!" Eriol had to give him credit for picking that up. Clow placed his glasses back to the ridge of his nose, "Iie, I only opened a few extra options for you to choose from…it's entirely your own choice to come here or not." Tomoyo doubted Clow's answer…it was just vague enough that he wasn't really telling a lie or a truth. Clow really was a master at manipulation and Eriol had the same attribute but he only used it harmlessly.

He looked from one face to another…deciding, measuring, weighing them all if they could complete what he had in store. They all had their own weaknesses but each had overcome it, in their own strength. His legacy was not involved this time…he wanted to complete his promise. He made so many and broke so many…this was the one that really mattered to him. This was personal and had eaten away to him while alive. Clow really didn't mean to burden his descendant, but that's what he had divided himself for. One part finally reaching his own happiness and another part to fulfill his unfinished business. He could tell them all that he knew, but he would be breaking his own sets of rules…already they distrusted him…they finally understood the manipulation behind their actions…none more so then Eriol. He decided he should start his story…before his time ran out. Twisting time was powerful and leading events that weren't supposed to happen was draining. Even for the most powerful sorcerer…going against time was near impossible. He turned his arms upwards and sucked them into his most cherished memory…one that happened before he set out combining eastern and western magic…one that was special.

Shiori hugged onto Miru even tighter, where they were all in wasn't right…perception was somehow dulled more twisted. Gone was the front of Eriol's house…they were now somewhere different…not only that but a different time. She saw Eriol edge closer to Tomoyo as if he was ready to protect her from anything that would come…she read his face and smiled. He was earnest after all and he was also a man of broken emotions…he was meant to be with Daidouji-sama…she could just feel it and see it.

Everyone eyes all dragged unwillingly to the middle of the floor, they didn't know why…just a strong force urging them to watch and wait.

He was a young man then, but he had one distinction from all others…he was in love and his love was returned. Magic played no part in his life then content as he was he had no need for it. She waited for him and he was only satisfied to comply and come…feet literally flying her embraced her. Her hair flew like a golden phoenix rippling across her brow. She was beautiful, but with a beauty that would wilt if not taken care of. He cherished her, always would till his own death. She was sweet…yet one problem stood between them.

A war…

It wasn't a typical one, not of soldiers fighting…it was a war of the classes. The rich and the poor, the internal struggle over money.

He…Clow had once started as a poor man…when he was a rich one he would exclaim bitterly over the fate of that day. He wanted to run with her away…from the fighting, the danger, and the cruelty. She took his hands with hers and loved him and agreed. Eyes shining she ran with him away from the fighting, danger, and the cruelty.

Only it wasn't destined…running away did not solve their problems It created more.

The townspeople were angered even further and raced after the two, captured fighting he waited for the blow that would kill him only no pain…not to him. She was there, eyes filled with a love that took him aback, she sacrificed herself, gave him a chance. With her body lying in his arms he vowed…a near impossible one…he would find her again. The people shocked by what they had destroyed, dispersed quickly…which was just as well, in his madness Clow could have killed. He only carried her to her family, stuck to the accusations, pinned, and accused. He left…the whole town behind…to start a new life.

Only he couldn't forget her eyes…her love…his love and promise.

"Come back to me."
