Yes, this is the sequel to my other song-fic "My December" except this one's ExT. I hope you enjoy it.

Only love can ease the pain

Of a boy caught in the rain

Eriol sighed as the rain streaked down his windows melting the snow, his descendant would be happy, how much he hated the snow. Eriol stood from his throne of evil and walked over to the window. He stood with his hands in his jeans pockets. He had been spying on his descendant's Christmas, he had though it would have cheered him up, but had only depressed him further when he saw his half daughter arrive at his apartment and they had "lived happily ever after." He sighed again and rested a hand on the rain-streaked window and the window fogged up around his hand.

Only hope will remember

Burning flames in December

Only love

Only love...

Nakuru stared at her master from the hallway; Spinel Sun was hovering above her shoulder.

"What's wrong with Master?" Spinel asked and Nakuru sighed then smiled brightly.

"He misses Tomoyo-san." Nakuru explained. Spinel looked at her curiously.

"Than why doesn't he go see her?" Spinel asked his little plushie faced scrunched up in confusion and Nakuru sighed.

"It's not that simple, you see he-" Nakuru looked over her shoulder at the silent Eriol then nodded; she would have to take the chance. Her voice lowered to a whisper that was barely audible. "He's in love with her." Nakuru said. Spinel Sun flew up and peered in the doorway.
"Is that so…?" He wondered and the moon guardian nodded. "Then there is only one thing to do." Spinel Sun said as he flew away and Nakuru followed slowly.

"Suppie?" Nakuru called and Spinel appeared with Eriol's coat. Nakuru nodded as she ran up stairs and into Eriol's vast bedroom. "Now where did he put that?" She wondered as she started tearing apart Eriol's room.

 
Only faith can bring to life

One who falls by the wayside

"Spinel?" Eriol asked without changing his position, his back still to the sun guardian.

"Yes master?" He asked, and Eriol sighed.

"What is Ruby Moon doing?" He asked as he turned to look at Spinel his eyes void of any feelings and Spinel swallowed nervously he had never seen his master like this.

"I don't know. Master, your cloak?" The back cat asked and Eriol raised an eyebrow at Spinel.

"Why do I need this, Spinel?" Eriol asked and Spinel looked down at the deep blue coat between his tiny paws afraid to look at the reincarnation of Clow Reed in the eyes.

"You were thinking of going to see Daidouji-san, won't you?" Spinel asked. Eriol's midnight blue eyes flickered from the coat then to Spinel who was looking at him curiously. Eriol grabbed the coat wordlessly and continued out of the parlor putting the coat on as he went. Spinel sighed relieved but then watched his master leave the room curiously and Spinel floated after.

"Master?" Nakuru asked and Eriol looked up at her. He spotted some of his clothing and various other objects clinging to her that had come from his room. Eriol sighed and opened his mouth to yell, but she cut him off.

"Here." She said as she held out a small box tied with a ribbon and Eriol stared at it for a few seconds before he took it and stuck it in his coat pocket. He opened the door and started to walk through the rain.

"Do you think we did the right thing?" Spinel asked and Nakuru nodded with emphasis.

"Of course it's obvious, Tomoyo-chan likes Master too." Nakuru said happily as she skipped into the kitchen, and Spinel floated wearily after her.

"And how do you know that?" He asked suspicious.

"Womanly intuition." She said and Spinel's face fell.

"Now I know we did the wrong thing." He said sighed and the cross dressing moon guardian looked up at him from her cooking preparations.

"Why do you say that, Suppie-chan?" She asked and Spinel managed to ignore his nickname for once.

"I don't know, why don't you tell us, Nakuru-kun?" He asked and Nakuru glared at him for half a second then smiled brightly.
"Why don't you try testing my cooking, Suppie-chan?" She asked and Spinel tried to fly away but Nakuru caught him by the tail.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww Supie-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn" Nakuru said as she increased her grip on the poor black cat.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" He squealed as she tied him to a chair and set of to do the cooking.

Only trust can inspire
A soggy nose to breathe fire

Eriol walked his hands in his coat pocket as he walked to the Daidouji estate; it wasn't far from his house, on a sunny day.

Tomoyo Daidouji's Christmas hadn't exactly been ideal. Her mother had, had to leave on an urgent business trip. She had called Sakura, but her father said she wasn't home. I bet she went to go see Li-kun. Tomoyo thought a small smiling playing on her lips as she rose from her couch and walked over to the window. Tomoyo's violet eyes wandered the over the gloomy scene outside. At least the weather agrees with the mood. Tomoyo thought and she spotted a dark figure in the rain and her eyebrows shot up. Who ever is out in that rain, had to be inane…was the thought that ran through Tomoyo's head as she grabbed her own coat and umbrella as she ran quickly down the steps. She slipped her shoes on and walked out into the rain. Tomoyo approached the lone figure that appeared to just be staring at her house.

Tomoyo took another few steps, and then froze.

Only love

Only love...

"Hiiragazawa-kun?" She asked and his attention turned to her. "What are you doing here?" She asked and as she ran forward the gate opened on its own and she held the umbrella over his head and hers.

"Um…" Eriol blinked and stared at her, his usually calm demeanour lost, as he stared at her.

"Well come on." Tomoyo said as she tugged on his hand and she led him into the yard. After them the gate closed again. Tomoyo opened the door and stepped in and soon as she had three maids rushed up to her, one taking, their coats and the umbrella.

"Can you bring two cups of tea to the parlor?" Tomoyo asked another and she bowed as she left. Tomoyo smiled at Eriol who looked at her dumbfounded.  "So Hiiragazawa-kun, what have you been up to lately. Sakura-chan and I haven't seen much of you as soon as break started." Tomoyo said as she led the way to the parlor and Eriol sighed.

"Nothing much really." He replied and Tomoyo looked at him out of the corner of her eyes as they sat down in the cozy parlor and she looked at him curiously.

"Something's bothering you." She accused and he sighed as he played with a tassel on one of the pillows.

"Well…yes." He admitted and Tomoyo looked at him her eyes worried. "It's just…I feel kinda alone." He said.  Tomoyo looked at him curiously.

"But what about Naraku-san and Spinel-san?" She asked as she took a sip of the tea that the maid had brought in.

"Well yes I have them…" He trailed off then looked at Tomoyo from under his midnight blue bangs. "It's hard to see, everyone else so happy, when you feel alone." He said and Tomoyo looked at him curiously. 

It's only natural
The moon is just half full
We give our best away
We give our best away

Only love...

"What do you mean?"

"You must know that Sakura-san went to my descendant's house." Eriol asked and Tomoyo nodded, her hunch had been correct. "Well it seems they are happily a couple now." Eriol finished and Tomoyo blinked a few times surprised, then she smiled.

"That's good. Sakura-chan is finally happy." Tomoyo said and Eriol watched her carefully for a minute before asking.
"What about you Daidouji-san?" He asked her and she stared at him confused.
"What do you mean?" She asked and his normally pale complexion flushed pink.

"Don't you want to be with someone?" He asked he and she blinked surprised then her cheeks flushed.

"Ummm…" She said and Eriol studied her carefully. "I suppose." She said and Eriol looked at her curiously.

"Could it be that the wonderful Tomoyo-san was thinking a little too much about others?" Eriol asked and Tomoyo blinked as she blushed, she hadn't thought Eriol had ever called her "Tomoyo-san" before. "If you would excuse me, my dear." He said as he stood and left the room and Tomoyo stared after him.

"My dear…" She wondered aloud as she blinked confused and the phone rang. She stood and walked over and picked it up.

"Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked on the other side of the call and Tomoyo smiled.
"Sakura-chan, how's Christmas?" Tomoyo asked and Sakura giggled on the other line.

"Great…I'm at Syaoran-kun's now…I called Dad so he knows where I am and he told me you called." Sakura said.
"Yes. I heard that you are finally with Li-kun." Tomoyo said as she sat down on the couch and she heard Sakura falter.

"How do you know that?!" Sakura hissed into the phone and Tomoyo giggled.
"I have my sources." She said and Sakura paused, and then chose her words carefully.

"Eriol-kun told you didn't he." She whispered and Tomoyo raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you whispering?" Tomoyo wondered and Sakura giggled.

"I don't think Syaoran-kun would like the fact that Eriol-kun's been spying on us." Sakura whispered into the phone and Tomoyo heard a distinct. "Sakura?" On the other end of the conversation, that's defiantly Li-kun.  She thought.

"Well Sakura-chan you better go…" Tomoyo said somewhat enviously into the phone and Sakura blinked and nodded even though Tomoyo couldn't see her.

"Yeah, are you sure though, Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked worriedly and Tomoyo giggled.

"Yes I have company." Tomoyo said shyly. Sakura blinked and then she smirked.

"Eriol-kun's over then. I'll leave you two. Ja ne." Sakura said and she hung up. Tomoyo blinked and she stared at the phone her cheeks red.

 
Only love

Only love...

Eriol opened to door to the parlor, his precious present back in his pocket; he had forgotten it in his coat pocked at Tomoyo smiled at him as he opened the door.

"You don't mind if I call you that, Tomoyo-san?" He asked and Tomoyo shook her head as she smiled at him.

"I don't mind, where'd you go Eriol-kun?" She asked him and he smiled at her as he sat down on the couch next to her.

"I needed to get something from my coat." He told her and she smiled at him.

"And that would be?" She asked and he pulled out the box.

"My present to you, Tomoyo-san." He said and he handed it to her and she blushed slightly as she accepted the package and untied the ribbon. She sat in the couch as she pulled the top of the box off gently. She stared her violet eyes wide and she looked up at Eriol who was looking down at her expectantly.

"How-?" She asked as she looked at the amulet in the box. The gem in the center was a magenta colored that reflected too much light, for the dimly lit room. It was set in a platinum base that was intricately carved with Old English and Celtic designs.

"It's Magic, Tomoyo-san." He said and she smiled as she slipped it on. "You know, I never said it was good magic." He said. She smiled at him.

"I trust you Eriol-kun." She told him and he blushed. He smiled lopsidedly and thought to himself. I must look a lot like my cute descendant now.  He smiled and waved his hand and the piano started to play the waltz.
"A dance, Tomoyo-san?" He asked as he held out his hand half bowing and Tomoyo looked up at him blushing.

"H-hai." She said as she accepted it and they started to dance in the empty parlor floor, in front of the mantel.  Tomoyo blushed as she danced with Eriol whose eyes were smiling down at her.

Maybe…there is something I want… She thought as she continued to dace.

Only love

Only love...
