Chapter 4 The Meeting By Violet Karuto
~*~
Surrounded by masses of reds, whites, and blacks, Tomoyo walked absentmindedly around the roses, forgetting all about her suitor who was arriving every minute now. To her, this part of the garden represents her dark and depressing side. While the cherry blossom is her destination for remembrance and love, roses are her destination of grieve and bitterness. Stopping in front of a bunch of black roses, Tomoyo reached down to snatch one up. As her fingers neared the stem of the flower, a flick of pain shot up to her brain. With dull eyes, Tomoyo inspected her finger to find it bleeding. As the blob of blood increased in size, she turned her finger upside down so that the drop of blood fell down to the soil by the dark roses. Tomoyo turned the finger over and looked at the wound. It is gathering blood again.
Suddenly, a hand appeared at the corner of her vision and gently took her hand into their fairly large ones. Looking mildly surprised, Tomoyo raised her head to look at the owner of the warm and comforting hand.
Violet met azure, though Tomoyo's was a dull kind of violet, and they held onto each other for a while before Eriol broke the contact. Carefully, he took out a piece of handkerchief and wrapped her finger in it. By this time, Tomoyo, too, looked down at what he was doing and her eyes widened. Throughout the whole process, neither of them said anything, and when Eriol tucked the corner of the hankie into the wrapping did he let go of her hand.
"You should be careful next time when dealing with roses" Eriol is now carefully inspecting her features.
Smooth cream-white skin with the perfect complexion, silky blue-black hair, with a tint of purple from the setting sun, cascaded down her back like a waterfall. To add the finishing touch, the full cherry red lips set in a perfect position that, when you look at it, it represents everything like a porcelain doll.
Tomoyo, holding her wrapped finger, snapped back into reality, and slightly scolded at herself for letting her guard down, showing this total stranger one of her real emotions. Loneliness.
"And who might you be? If I remembered correctly, this is of the royal gardens which no peasants may get in" Tomoyo shot back wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
"I," Eriol bowed gracefully and took her hand to his lips, "am Prince Eriol of the Hiiragizawa Kingdom. What, may I ask, is thy name of the fair maiden standing before me?"
Normally, Eriol would expect them to at least swoon when he kissed their hands or blushed when he complimented them. But no, not even a trace of emotion on the pale face. 'Interesting.'
"I see." Tomoyo thought for a minute, 'So this is the guy that is suppose to 'claim my heart' Ha! Let's see about that!' "I am Princess Tomoyo, of the Daidouji Kingdom. So you're the suitor that I was suppose to meet."
"Indeed, it seems that our meeting has been arranged beforehand" Eriol looked around them, "My, Daidouji-san, what a beautiful garden you have-"
"Please, call me Tomoyo," she said sweetly. Maybe TOO sweetly.
Taken back, Eriol inspected her closely, 'was this the same girl that I saw in the gardens earlier?'
*FlashBack*
Walking through the garden that he saw earlier from the castle, Eriol roamed to the cherry blossom trees where his half-daughter is named after. (k pplz, jus 2 remind u, although Eriol did not help Sakura change the Clow Cards, he did, however, watched over her and knows what's going on) Thinking back towards those happy moments when the final Clow Card was changed, he wondered away from the trees and deeper, towards the center of the garden. As he near what he guessed was the rose gardens, he stopped, hearing some noises nearby.
Going as stealthily as he could, Eriol poked his head from behind the strange plant tree and saw, not too far away, a girl walking mindlessly by.
Even from afar, Eriol could clearly see the lonely and painful expression on her face as her eyes stares blankly ahead. Guessing that she was reminded of some unpleasant memories, he decided to stay longer to see what she would do.
As she neared one of the black roses, he saw her reaching down to pick one up but snatched her hand away quickly. Although he can't see anything, since the girl inspected her fingers in front of her face and her back was towards him, he knew that the thorns had served its purpose and now blood is drawn from the victim's finger. About to come out of his hiding place, Eriol was stopped when the girl flipped her hand downwards and let the blood drip down to the soil below.
Shaking his head, he soundlessly came out from behind the bush and towards the lady.
*FlashBack ends*
Looking back at the sweet smiling girl that was standing before him, he dismissed the earlier picture as a mere illusion.
"Well then, my dear Tomoyo-san," Eriol flashed one of his charming smiles that were sure to make any girl melt; though it had little effect on Tomoyo.
Giggling like a lovesick girl, though inside, she just wants to throw up, Tomoyo proceeded to bat her eyelashes at him and tried to flirt with him at the same time.
When the last gleam of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, they started to head towards the castle to prepare for dinner.
During the long walk to the gate, Eriol entertained both of them with jokes and stories while Tomoyo laughed most out of obligation. As they passed by the cherry blossom trees, Tomoyo spared a glance reluctantly towards the petals and felt a stab of pain in her heart.
"You like cherry blossoms, Tomoyo-san?" Eriol asked, noticing the brief moment of loneliness that crossed her delicate expression.
"Yes." Tomoyo answered with a faraway look in her eyes. Closing her eyes, she inhaled deeply of the luxurious scent and tried to remember every detail of it. She suddenly snapped out of her reverie remembering where she was, or more importantly, whom she was with.
"O-of course!" Tomoyo said with fake cheerfulness, "it's so pretty! Haha." she suddenly grabbed onto Eriol's arm and started to drag him out of the gardens.
"Now, all in all I don't really know you, so tell me about yourself" Tomoyo started her child masquerade, act 2 of her plan, and looked at him with innocent eyes.
Studying her closely with unknown emotions in his eyes, he sighed and gently pushed her away from himself.
"You don't really want to know about me do you?" he asked cocking an eyebrow while looking curiously at her.
Tomoyo, too, sighed and straightened up before taking on her cold features 'I'm losing my touch', she thought. The sweetness in her eyes, gone, to be replaced by cold stones. Her lips were set in a firm line while she folded her arms in front of her.
"When did you suspect?" a question, leaving no room for excuses.
"Answer mine's first, why?" They're now standing a good two feet away from each other as darkness started to consume them.
"Guess neither of us will have any answers will we?" Tomoyo stated while walking away, passing Eriol without a glance, and towards the gate.
"Guess so." Eriol, surprised at the sudden change of attitude and ambience, could only stand there, watching, while Tomoyo walked away into the shadows.
