Disclaimer: I am poor so I cannot own Card captor Sakura.
Again gomen. I am failing lots of my subjects so I had to cut back of my typing and that include my stories had to come to a sudden halt. Well I'm back and hopefully you will like this chapter and review it. I do allow flames, but I am really sensitive so don't be too harsh or I might cry. Believe it's not a joke.
Ok on with the story
Chapter 6: Lessons, Walking and Cooking
"Eriol sorry if I didn't make you anything to eat nor greet you from the doorway but as you can see we have company." Nakuru apologized. Tomoyo setting down the cup stood up from the chair gracefully and turn towards Eriol's direction as Eriol had turned towards her directions too. Nakuru talked to Tomoyo. "Tomoyo Daidouji, I would like you to meet Eriol Hiiragizawa, my KAWAII master" She said getting starry eyed
"We have met and you are right, Nakuru, Eriol is kawaii," Tomoyo said giggling as she saw what looked like a faint blush creeping up Eriol's pale face.
'I have heard compliments before but why am I blushing now? Even just a little' Eriol thought deeply confused. He knew lots of answers to this world but this was one he could not figure out. Soon he had controlled the blushing. He snapped out of his thoughts as a pale delicate hand was waving in front of his face. He saw that the hand belonged to Tomoyo.
"Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked worriedly. 'Why does it matter to me?'
"I was just...Think" He replied
"Don't worry about master he is usual like that deep in thoughts." Nakuru added. 'Eriol...blushing? I have better leave and not embarrass him any longer before I get punished.' She thought. Gathering the tray and the now empty teacups she told Eriol that she was going to feed Spinel Sun. Trying to exit the room as fast as she can before what she dreaded to hear from him would be said. And it was...
"If you feed sweets to Spinel Sun you will have to clean up after him...AGAIN" Eriol automatic responded. Nakuru groaned giving Eriol a cute pout before leaving the room.
Tomoyo at this point was smiling. 'They are just like brother and sisters. They remind me of...' She refused to finish that thought as sadness swept over her but was soon was on a whole new topic. 'Spinel Sun? Nakuru? Eriol? Where have I heard these names?' She suddenly thought in utter confusion. She knew she heard it somewhere but...where? 'Maybe I should ask Sakura. She knows that somehow I had forgot some things that happened.'
After seeing Nakuru leaving the room Eriol turned back to Tomoyo. He found her deep in thoughts, as if in a trance. In her eyes he saw a mixture of emotions. First there was happiness then it turned into sadness then confusion the back to sad Eriol didn't want to make her come back to earth but he wanted to know what did he owe this pleasure of her presence inside of his house. Since girls in his school go for the mysterious types he was pretty much WANTED. However no girls have ever found out where he lived...Until now. So with the snap of his figures the girl in front of him looked up instantly to meet that deep midnight eyes.
"I'm sorry. I was...thinking" Tomoyo said mimicking what Eriol had said earlier after he was caught staring off to space. 'Now I know how he feels' she thought slightly embarrass for just spacing out on him.
"It's fine. However can I ask you a question? Why are you exactly here for?" Eriol asked getting straight to the point.
"Oh where are my matters? I had moved next door a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to visit some of my next door neighbors" Tomoyo said feeling oh so sweetly.
"Yes...I remember now. I heard noises next door about last month. They must have been moving stuff in." Eriol mumbled to himself. "Well welcome to the neighborhood. However if I were you I would not try to disturb this neighborhood. As you can tell this is where most rich people lives so lots of business people work here and is VERY cranky." Eriol said as he remembered an incident/encounter he had with one of them.
"I am guessing that you have had experience" Tomoyo chuckled as he saw the little wince on Eriol's face. "Besides I just came to visit this certain house because I saw this garden in the back of your house. I mean people that plant flowers and trees in their back yard don't really seem that bad to me. Ne?"
"You may never know. There was a story I had once read...A guy that owns a garden full of roses. He wears nothing but black. With each rose he gives it to a girl, charms them, then kills them" Eriol responded with intensity. 'It's not a story. It was in one of my dreams and dreams do come true. This one a girl fell in love with him as he fell for her. Still he kills. Soon she finds out, and cried. He was caught after she found out and was arrested for his crime but was released on the day of his love's birthday. Great at least it was somewhat of a happy ending'
(A/N: Sorry I just had to put that in. It has nothing to do with the story but I had read a story like that on fanfic and I just loved it)
"Well are there any roses in your garden?" Tomoyo joked, as he was being too serious. She was about to laugh too but had stopped herself once she saw that look on his face. It scared her. It was cold and distant 'Had he lived it?' She thought all of a sudden getting a sick feeling but it soon left her. Deciding to break the deep tension she asked "Can you show me the garden now?" Tomoyo asked, whining and her eyes pleading.
"It would be my pleasure to show you around my garden. The one I worked so hard in. However I don't think I can since I have to cook dinner and then finish my homework" Eriol said with a sad tone in his voice.
"Isn't that what Nakuru's for? She is a servant is she not?" Tomoyo asked confused.
Eriol just chuckled. "Not really. Nakuru is more like someone I can talk to not boss around. I need someone to confine in. Besides she is always so cheerful so it is nice having her around. However I don't trust Nakuru's cooking. It has always been TOO sweet or burnt down to coal. If she does help it would all be a mess. Take note: keep her away from the kitchen when cooking unless you want food to blow up in your face." Eriol conclude. Indeed it was great advice as because on a cue there was a loud *BOOM* noise coming from the kitchen.
Eriol rushed toward the kitchen and entered the smoked up room. Tomoyo who was right behind Eriol had crashed into him because he came to a sudden halt. Tomoyo not having much balance fell backwards and fell to the cold hard floor.
"Yes I see now..." Tomoyo mumbled to herself as she got of the floor. 'WOW. She REALLY needs cooking lessons. I didn't even do that bad on the first day of training to become a great cook. Well I did have the best teachers for that. Thanks to mother.'
"Nakuru where are you?" Eriol asked as he tried to fine his way in the fogged up place.
"Hehehe sorry Eriol. I forgot I was cooking something" Nakuru replied sheepishly. Tomoyo again couldn't help but laugh.
"Nakuru, Eriol was right about you. You can't cook" Tomoyo said out loud. She just couldn't help herself to stop. However she regret it once she heard a little sob come out of Nakuru. "Nakuru I was kidding. You're not that bad. How about I teach you how to cook? Huh? Please don't cry. It's sad seeing someone older than me cry" (A/N: The poor girl. And I mean Tomoyo. Her having to stop a grown woman from crying AND teach her how to cook?)
Around that point the fog had lift and out the windows that were open. So she saw Nakuru's happy face as Tomoyo said to help her with her cooking skills.
"Really? YEAH!!!" Nakuru said running to Tomoyo and giving her a big bear hug. Squeezing the life of poor Tomoyo. Luckily Eriol came to her rescue.
"Nakuru put Tomoyo down. Your cutting off her air supply." Nakuru instantly let go of the girl with the purple face. (A/N: At least she matches her hair and eyes now. lolz. Kidding) "Nakuru I will be showing Tomoyo around the garden and later come back and cook dinner. Tomoyo would be our guest for tonight and would be helping me cook so stay out of the kitchen." He added as he turned back to Tomoyo and held a hand for hers. Tomoyo was gladly to accept.
As the two touched each other they felt sparks of some kind but they both ignored it. However they are both in love with someone else.
~The Garden~
Once they were out in the garden Tomoyo suddenly wondered why?
'Why? Why am I so use to this mere stranger? I just met him and Nakuru today but...What is it? I haven't met him before and he hasn't met me. Yet I feel like I know him but how is that possible?' Her mind complained. She was confused. How did she feel like she knew him but had not even met him for even a whole day? That would be Impossible. Right?
Eriol on the other hand was having just about the same thoughts. He felt so close to her yet how come he doesn't know her? She looks, sounds, just everything about her seems familiar. Maybe he had met her in another lifetime. Maybe he met her in Clow Reed's lifetime. He kept thinking as they walked absent mindly towards the Plum Blossom Tree. (A/N: Forgot to mention I don't know if plum blossoms really grows on trees)
Tomoyo was the first one to snap out of it. She took around her scenery. In front of her she was facing the same tree she had walked towards to that summer's day. 'How did we suddenly get here?' She had wondered. To her the walk towards that certain place from the house seemed just like seconds.
Around that time, Eriol had also snapped out of his intense thoughts as he too faces the scenery of his favorite place. Turning to face Tomoyo he saw her face filled with shocked, confusion and a twist of guilt?
Tomoyo suddenly felt like someone was staring at her. She turned around to face the person who was still holding her hand and was looking at her...staring at her. She felt so exposed. The way he was looking so intense so...CREEPY.
"I did not mean to stare. I'm sorry." Eriol apologized as Tomoyo could have thought he was reading her mind. She nodded in says of apology accepted as continue to stare at the tree.
"This is the same tree that I came to when I entered the garden. Why?" Tomoyo mumbled quietly to herself but the wind somehow carried the message to Eriol.
"What?" Eriol asked Tomoyo. 'What did she say?'
"Well..." Tomoyo said as she began telling her why she had known about the garden as it seemed to be really good at hiding and that she somehow ended up standing in front of the very same tree they were looking at right this moment.
"So that was you." Eriol mumbled as he suddenly remembered what had happen a week or so ago. 'It is the same. I felt like I knew her then and I only took a glimpse of her flowing hair. Now before I knew she was the same girl I had the same feeling. Why? I should know these things, I am the half reincarnation of Clow Reed after all.' Eriol thought. He had never been so confused before but this. He was stumped.
"You saw me?" Tomoyo asked surprised. She had hope no one had seen her and even if he did. Why didn't he come down and scolded her for entering his property?
"Yes, but just a small glimpse before the sound of the kitchen being ripped apart. When I turned back to face that girl she was gone. Now tell me how did you get out of here so fast?" Eriol asked suddenly amused. This garden was quite big and the tree was in the middle of it. It would have taken a while just to get out of sight from the view of Eriol, but indeed that happened.
"I haven't the slightest clue." Tomoyo said truthfully. She just remembers her snapping out of that trance and like in a speed of light she had arrived home. Where it was safe. "Is there any story behind this tree? A past that got me so entranced by it?"
"Not really. The only thing I know about this tree is that it's my favorite place to relax. This is where I sit to get away from Nakuru and my cat Spinel when they suddenly go drunk with sweets." Eriol said giving a light chuckle. 'And how true it is.' He added silently.
"Oh how nice. It does look very beautiful and peaceful here." Tomoyo agreed. Taking a look at her watch she had realize it was getting late. "Look at the time. We had been out here so long and I haven't even notice. We will just have to finish touring the garden some other time." She said as she dragged Eriol back into the house so they can cook dinner.
~Inside The House~
They had entered the kitchen and started cooking dinner. They hadn't talked much. It was an uncomfortable silence as they both started cooking two of the dishes and the rice. (A/N: Okay I don't know much about cooking I just eat it.) By the time they were done Nakuru was VERY impatient. It had been about 8:30 when they were all set.
"Wow. It smells really good." Nakuru complimented to the two of them as Tomoyo set the last dish on the table.
"Thank you" They both said at the same time.
"Let us eat" Eriol said as they ate white rice with dishes such as chicken, fish, beef with broccoli, and Tomoyo's personal favorite, sushi. (A/N: Okay the first 3 dishes was what I mostly eat for dinner and the sushi I just wanted to put in something I know Tomoyo would like. I read in my comic book about CCS that her favorite is sushi and...Buckwheat noodles?)
"Mmm. Tomoyo these sushi you made is really good and the fish too." Nakuru complimented again, as she stuffed more food into her face. "Yours not so bad master" She added still chopping away her food.
"I think your cooking is really good Eriol. Nakuru must have just ate your cooking a lot that's all" Tomoyo said.
"I'm sure" Eriol raised an eyebrow watching his guardian eat so unladylike. Even thought Nakuru isn't really a he or a she, she dressing like a girl people MIGHT just think she is. So where are the manners?
"So where is your cat Spinel?" Tomoyo asked trying to make conversation. She then started to ask herself again 'that name. Why?' She thought. Spinel, Spinel. The name Eriol was REALLY familiar too and so was Nakuru. However since she couldn't figure how all those three names click in the back of her mind she decided it was nothing.
"Spinel doesn't like to come down from my studies. Besides Nakuru is down here" Eriol explained.
"Oh I see." Tomoyo said as she began to eat again.
Silent
That is what filled the room.
Silence was what happened until they were done with that lovely dinner.
When they were all done Nakuru went into the kitchen with the empty dishes and began to wash it.
"I had a nice time today. I hope I can see the rest of the garden someday." Tomoyo said as she head out the door.
"Yes I hope so too. In addition you still have a promise with Nakuru about helping her cook." Eriol added rather amused 'REALLY the poor thing'
"Well I guess this is good night. I will see you in school" Tomoyo said heading out the door.
"Wait. I'll walk you home" Eriol said as he hurried after her.
"No need. I like next door. I doubt anything would happen to me." Tomoyo protested
"Still. Being the gentlemen that I am. I insist" Eriol replied "AND I won't take 'no' for an answer"
"No use in arguing then. Let us go" Tomoyo said as she gave in.
Once they were at Tomoyo's front door Eriol bend down on one knee and gave Tomoyo a kiss on her hand.
(A/N: Eriol did that to Sakura in the episode with the bear.)
"Goodnight" Eriol said walking away
Tomoyo just stared at him. What was THAT for? She asked herself. She had felt so giddy when he did that it sent shivers down her spine. She walked into her dark deserted house and took a cold shower to keep her from thinking about his soft lips on her pale hands.
