Chapter 4: Home

The loud silence in all of the streets that was ceaseless was becoming unbearable. After a while, everyone started to move and talking all at once. No one could explain the incredible miracle, but was grateful for it to happen. Life would be unbearable without Tomoyo Daidouji. No one had an idea what happened or what was happening up there at the rooftop.

"What do you think Sonomi Daidouji will say?" Sakura asked Syaoran as they flew towards Tomoyo's mansion.

"I don't know… why are we the ones that get stuck having to tell Sonomi what her daughter was up to?"

"Well, we had to give Tomoyo a chance to tell Hiiragizawa what was on her mind. She wouldn't tell us so who better to tell than Hiiragizawa-kun?" Sakura answered impatiently.

As they arrived at the Daidouji Residence, they both became a bit reluctant. The pair landed where they were hidden from view. They made their way past the guards in the doorway by telling them that they knew what happened to her daughter. As they heard Sonomi Daidouji make her way towards them, they braced themselves for what was to come.

Tomoyo could not believe what she just heard. Kaho dumped Eriol? She knew that Eriol was really…fond… of her. It didn't dawn on her until now that the yelling that she heard in the background of her phone calls were arguments. She felt sympathy for Eriol for Sakura had rejected her, too. Eriol's eyes were now filled with the sorrow that Tomoyo didn't notice he was holding back until now.

"We were just perfect together… where did we go wrong…how could she do that to me…" Tears threatened to spring from his eyes.

Tomoyo heart cracked when she saw Eriol's hurt face. Before she knew it, she had swept Eriol up in another hug. Eriol was surprised by her actions but was grateful that Tomoyo was there for him even if he wasn't there for her. Tomoyo felt comfortable against the warmth of Eriol's body. That was completely unexpected.

"She just dumped me and was out of the house before I could really stop her! We've been having arguments but I didn't know that she really wanted to break up with me!" Eriol said regretfully.

"Eriol-kun, it's okay. You'll get over it." Tomoyo tried her best to comfort him.

"How do you know?" Eriol was doubtful.

Tomoyo sighed.

After a while of comforting him, Tomoyo managed to make him feel better. Eriol decided to bring Tomoyo back home to see her mom.

*~*~*~*

*~*~*~*

"Thank you for staying for dinner Mr. Hiiragizawa." Sonomi Daidouji was grateful that Eriol was there to save Tomoyo's life.

It was nighttime. Eriol had brought Tomoyo home and found Sakura and Syaoran comforting Ms. Daidouji. They left soon afterwards having had to deal Ms. Daidouji and was very tired. Ms. Daidouji was overjoyed to see her daughter. She could not stop thinking of what would have happened if he hadn't been there to save her. Sonomi assumed that before Tomoyo jumped, Eriol was able to talk her out of it. (Sakura had used the sleep card a little while earlier so that everyone would forget what they saw). She was most grateful and offered for him to stay for dinner so that she could get to know him better. He had agreed. After dinner, Sonomi asked Eriol if he would like anything for a reward. He had to refused.

"Hiiragizawa-kun, how can I ever thank you for saving my daughter?"

"There isn't really anything I want."

"Are you sure?" Sonomi was surprised that this boy didn't want anything at all.

"I'm sure."

"Okay then, but I must thank you one more time for saving my daughter."

"Once again Ms. Daidouji, I'm really flattered but it was nothing. I must be leaving now."

"Okay then, please some back again some time."

Eriol got up to leave. As he got out to the door and made his way to the gate, he felt someone pull on his arm. He turned around and found Tomoyo looking up at him with shimmering amethyst orbs. He felt his heartbeat quicken.

"Eriol-kun, don't leave yet. Please come with me to the gardens for a while."

"Uh…okay…"

They walked through the garden which was filled with all types of flowers. Their walk eventually led them to a little pond, Tomoyo sat down beside it. She was thinking back to the time they were talking about Kaho… he hadn't told her why she left. She knew that she should ask because it might open up his wound again but…

"Eriol-kun, about Kaho, why did she leave you anyway?" …Curiosity got the better of her.

"She felt that we weren't going anywhere. She left me for some other guy." Sorrow was still in his eyes but he was beginning to recover.

"Eriol-kun………." Tomoyo once again felt sorry for him. She wanted to tell him that she wanted to be the one that he went to when he wanted help, but her guts failed her and she couldn't bring herself to say it. Instead, a silence fell over the two. Tomoyo looked up at the bright crystal clear sky full of stars.

Eriol felt himself being drawn to her. The way she looked when she gazed at the stars was absolutely breathtaking. He looked at her angelic face. He felt the attraction became stronger. He suddenly realized how beautiful she really was. He couldn't take his eyes off her face. Especially her lips.

"Tomoyo…" Eriol leaned closer.

Tomoyo saw him looking at her. She knew what he wanted, it was written all over his eyes.

"Uh, Eriol…"

He leaned closer still, until his face was only inches away from hers. He cupped her chin with his palm, and moved his lips onto hers.

The moment their lips stroked each other, Eriol knew that he had fallen in love with Tomoyo. He knew that she would be the one that he wanted to comfort him when he needed help.

When their lips caressed each other, Tomoyo felt her heart melt and she knew that she had fallen in love all over again, but this time, she had a feeling that it was for good.

The unspoken words to each other need not be spoken for both knew that love was in the atmosphere. They were able to find the bliss in each other's arms that they have long searched for. Finally, their search was over and they were home.
