~~Chapter 09~~
|| That Night ||
"Tonight will most likely be my last night here AzurE. I can sense Hiiragizawa doesn't want me here."
AzurE gave out a little purr as Tomoyo scratched its ears.
"Azure, I can't sleep. I'm going to go take a walk ok? Stay here, I would take you along but because of your size, I don't want to risk waking anybody up," Tomoyo said softly to her pet.
He looked at her with uncertainty in his eyes but then lighten up after seeing her smile of reassurance.
Tomoyo headed for the door and opened it carefully as to not make any loud sound and snuck out into the corridor. It was easy for her to find her way outside because of Nakuru's tour. She walked quietly down the staircase, making sure not to make any creaks on the stairs and headed outside into the garden.
Looking up, she saw billion of stars gazing down on here, aside them was a great full moon, shining its light brilliantly upon the earth.
(A/N: Since Tomoyo was in the Hiiragizawa's mansion, she's not wearing her usual bedroom entire. She's wearing a loose T-shirt with loose sweats.)
Walking indolently around the garden, Tomoyo was too occupy to have noticed a dark figure watching her from behind the shadows.
|| In the Dark ||
'How does Clow always seem to know exactly where she would be?' the figure thought to himself.
He waited (A/N: Do you know who it is yet?) until she sat down near a Cherry Blossom tree and rests her head on the tree bark.
As soon as he saw an opening, he disintegrated into thin air and reappeared right above Tomoyo. Peering down at the girl, he found he's open to any attack since she had her eyes closed.
Quickly taking out his sword, Syaoran aimed his attack straight for Tomoyo's heart. The sword neared her by the second until she disappeared?
'What the hell?' thought Syaoran.
He suddenly felt himself being push from the back, but caught himself and landed on his feet as he land. Looking up, he saw Tomoyo's head looking down at him. She too, jumped down from the tree and stood in a fighting position.
'How did she sense I was behind her? I thought Clow had took most of her abilities away.'
'What?!?! Her eyes are close!'
Syaoran then took his place and took his stance, holding onto his sword straight in front of him. Tomoyo stood there not moving as if waiting for the attack to come towards her.
Seeing that Tomoyo wasn't going to attack, Syaoran made his move and strike his sword straight at her but misses as she blurred and disappeared.
'Where the hell did she go?'
Reappearing on top of Syaoran, Tomoyo dived headfirst straight for him but misses as he look above of him.
She landed on her feet and moved her right leg swiftly to the side and bend down nearing the floor in a defensive position.
Before Syaoran could make another move, Tomoyo jumped up and grabbed his neck with her feet and threw him a few feet into the nearest bush of flower. (A/N: The fighting style I'm using, I've seen them in games (haha) most/all of them are taken from Tekken 3 -_-)
Getting up quickly, Syaoran saw Tomoyo heading straight for him, running fast. Something seem to be forming in her two clutched hands.
'What the hell. ?'
The light submerged from the hands and slowly, a sword was form. It was about 36 inch and ΒΌ inch thick; the sword was being dragged on the floor behind Tomoyo as she raced towards her target.
Syaoran jumped just barely in time before Tomoyo's sword strike him.
'I gotta ask Master about this. Where did she get ability?'
Syaoran disappeared into the night, leaving Tomoyo there in the dark.
The danger was now gone Tomoyo's body was back into its former state, leaning against the Cherry Blossom tree waiting the dawning of the next day. || Morning ||
"Groan"
Tomoyo slowly opened her eyes, facing the bright light in her face.
"It's beautiful isn't it?"
Turning around, Tomoyo saw Nakuru looking at the rising sun, creating an illusion in the pond full with water lilies.
"Yes. yes it is," replied a still sleepy Tomoyo.
Seeing that Tomoyo was still half asleep, Nakuru thought this would be a good time to ask her a question that was killing her to find out.
"Teiraku, are you really a boy?" Nakuru asked, making it sound as casual as possible.
"Yes. no. I'm. not a. boy.it's just. temporary. " Tomoyo replied falling back asleep.
'Just as I thought,' smiled Nakuru.
Nakuru gently picked up Tomoyo and headed for her room.
|| Mid-day ||
"Nakuru, I'll be leaving in a little while. I was wondering. if I could come and visit you from time to time?"
"Of course Teiraku!! I would love that!" Nakuru beamed
Teiraku smiled in return and head for AzurE.
"I'm sorry I can't bring you along. But I promise to come back and visit you!" smiled Tomoyo, while deep inside she hated parting with her dear friend for a second time.
AzurE whimpered but nudged her gently, seeing his master wasn't fully happy, as her outer self seem.
"I'll come back for you AzurE."
Tomoyo picked up her things and headed down the staircase, with Nakuru and AzurE following her footstep.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality Hiiragizawa."
He simply nodded and returns to his reading.
Nakuru looked at Tomoyo, visibly showing that she don't want her to leave. Tomoyo embraced Nakuru one last time and headed out the door, carrying her bag. (A/N: While staying there, Nakuru had given Tomoyo some souvenirs.)
Outside the gate, Tomoyo took one last long glance at her surroundings and headed straight ahead.
|| In town ||
Tomoyo walked around amazed at this side of town. She had never ventured this far from home before and the sight before her was very different from her part of town.
This part of town was nowhere as civilized as where her apartment was held. Everywhere you look, at least one out of every five store had some arguments going and a small crowd was always found somewhere. (A/N: This part of town is very much similar to how it used to be in Ancient China. Don't use that against me, this story isn't base on historical happenings. It's just my own place ^o^ just pretend this part of town is very oriental. haha)
Up ahead, Tomoyo saw a big crowd surrounding a store with some cheering and gasping from the crowd. Being curious as she is, she ran up towards the crowd to see what was all the commotion was for.
She asked somebody from the crowd what was happening and they told her that the place before her was the most popular restaurant in this part of the town. The fight happening was between the storeowner and the customer who couldn't to pay for his expense.
Tomoyo watched along with the rest of the townspeople and saw the two people fighting.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Tomoyo saw somebody threw a small pebble at the customer's right leg and so causing him to fall. The storeowner then beat the customer, seeing him now vulnerable.
Tomoyo was outraged because of the unfairness of the fighting. She jumped from behind the crowd and in front of the customer, stopping the storeowner before he could attack the man on the floor another time.
"Get out of the way!" screamed the storeowner.
"No. You have no right to use his vulnerability against this man," she stated coolly, hiding her anger.
"Get out of the way before you get hurt."
Tomoyo still stood there and didn't make any movement of listening to the storeowner.
"Have it your way," he said and attacked her.
Tomoyo dodged it without a sweat and in return, kick him in the back with her left leg causing him to fall forward, flat on his face. She took her foot and held him tightly to the floor until he was to let the customer go. Knowing he can't beat this new stranger in town, he angrily took back his offense and headed back inside his store.
The crowd slowly went back to their usual business and went on their way.
"Are you alright?" asked Tomoyo helping the man on the ground.
"Yes I am!" he retorted freeing his arm from her grasp.
"W-what? Look, I was just trying to help. You don't have to go getting angry at me."
"I didn't NEED your help boy!"
"Whatever."
Tomoyo continued on her way until she heard a loud gasp of pain.
'I'm going to regret this.'
She turns around and headed back to the man and helped him up, trying hard to avoid his protests and struggle.
She asked him where his home was but he turns his head away from her in anger and said nothing. Tomoyo was about to give up when she looked down at his shirt. On the chest area, the words "Kenshin Dojo" was written.
Tomoyo figure it was an arena of learning how to fight so she asked around with the stubborn man still by her side until she came upon the dojo.
She slightly hesitated before setting foot inside until the man in her grasp freed himself and ran inside, fuming.
The man threw open the front door, allowing Tomoyo to saw the whole front yard.
'It's so much like Japan's ground.'
Tomoyo decided to walk in after much hesitation.
Inside, she looked around, seeing the whole front yard was fill with Cherry, Plum, Peach Blossoms and among others planted alongside the wall. Other than that, the yard was pretty much empty.
Out of nowhere, Tomoyo heard cries of people of many different ages. Curiosity struck her again as she followed the noise and stuck her head out of the corner of the wall and saw around 20-30 young people practicing an unusual fighting technique.
"Take a quick rest students!" shouted a man with deep orangey hair that grew past his waist.
The many young people stop in whatever position they were in and faced him.
Before they left, the same man spoke up again.
"Students, look at who we got here."
The students looked at him confused at what he meant.
"Please do join us. Don't hide yourself," he said kindly looking straight at Tomoyo.
