Magic

Oh yes, for the past few weeks, it¡¦s been hell to Tomoyo. Everywhere she goes, he follows, she even have to hide in her own castle just to get away from him! Of course, the only time when she truly is in peace is when she went riding with Moonlight, but even that has lost its fun. Miri had taken the time to accompany her mistress the best she can, but since their Majesty¡¦s are out, they have to work extra hard to maintain order in the castle.
One thing that confused Tomoyo is HOW did that prince know where she¡¦ll be, when she¡¦ll be? Surely, the castle is not that small to bump into each other in every turn and in every room.
¡¥Is it possible that he has magic of his own?¡¦ Tomoyo questioned herself one day as she walked down the morning halls of the Daidouji castle, ¡¥Impossible, or Mother would¡¦ve told me¡¦
¡§Oh, so we meet again Princess Daidouji,¡¨ Tomoyo froze in her spot and cursed under her breath, ¡§such coincidence¡¨ Tomoyo could just imagine the big wide smirk across his face even though her back is towards him.
¡§Look, PRINCE Hiiragizawa,¡¨ at this, Eriol¡¦s smirk got wider, ¡§I don¡¦t know what your intentions are, but PLEASE,¡¨ she have to muster up all her self-control to say this, ¡§stop following me around like a lost servant. You know perfectly well that we are at no compromising state¡¨
¡§Who said I was following you around?¡¨ he said with a casual shrug, ¡§I¡¦m merely going where my instincts tells me to go¡¨
¡§And are you telling me that your instincts just happens to pinpoint me every time?¡¨ Suddenly, Tomoyo felt very hot despite the cool season but ignored it as anger.
¡§What can I say? You¡¦re just too irresistible¡¨ Eriol could feel the energy level rise in the hallways where they are currently standing. Looking around, he found that the source was the princess herself sending off violent vibes of purple magic through the air. ¡¥Perfect¡¦
¡§OOOOO! Why you¡K.¡¨ Is it just her or did the room suddenly gotten a lot smaller? And why can¡¦t she stand still? It¡¦s as if she was standing on a boat rocking back and forth. Bringing her hand up to her head, she saw a steady glow of purple light.
¡§Huh?¡¨ Looking at both of her hands and at the rest of her body, she saw the same purple light emitting from her clothing. ¡¥Why is my magic¡K?¡¦
Suddenly, realizing who she was with, she snapped out of her confusion and focused on the prince hoping he didn¡¦t see her weird actions.
Apparently the prince pretended nothing has happened.
Coincidentally, Tomoyo thought that the prince cannot see it since he hasn¡¦t an ounce of magic so she regained her cool posture. Or so she thought.
¡§Now, if you will excuse, I shall return to my room¡¨ With that, she left in a hurry not bothering to notice the mysterious look on Eriol¡¦s face.
¡§Yes, it has started¡¨
¡§Master,¡¨ Nakuru came out behind a door to one of the rooms, ¡§Do you think she will be alright?¡¨
Looking back at his guardian, he let off a small smile, ¡§Of course, not while I¡¦m around¡¨
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Tomoyo shut the door behind her silently while gasping for air. She had run all the way back to her room and she is still glowing purple!
Sitting on her bed, she examined her hands, then her arms. ¡¥What should I do?¡¦ Tomoyo thought desperately, I can¡¦t walk around the castle looking like this! What if someone saw me?¡¦ though she knew that only people that have magic can see her, its better to be safe than sorry.
Closing her eyes and taking deep and even breathes, she concentrated on her pool of magic, looking from her mind¡¦s eye, she found that the aura surrounded her like a shield and is spreading farther every second.
Alarmed, Tomoyo tried to pull it back in and lost her concentration by the sounds outside, the chirping of birds, the rustle of leaves.
¡¥Concentrate Tomoyo! You can do this! Just calm down¡K.¡¦ the princess took a few deep breaths and successfully got her magic under control.
After opening her eyes, she collapsed onto the bed, breathing heavily with a flushed face.
¡§Guess that took out a lot of me huh?¡¨
Looking back at her hands, she found that they are at normal color. ¡¥Wonder what just happened? Too bad the palace mages went with Mother and Father or I could¡¦ve asked them¡KI wonder if Eriol would know anything¡K.?¡¦Tomoyo sat up abruptly with a determined face ¡¥I would never ask him even if he DID know something¡¦ Still feeling the burning sensation, Tomoyo went to the balcony to catch some air.
Looking up, she saw the beautiful diamond sky with a few dark clouds floating around. ¡¥Perfect for riding¡¦
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Miri wiped the sweat off her forehead as she continued to wiped the palace floors. As she stretched in her kneeling position, she heard light footsteps pass by. Knowing that no one would walk around the palace this late, she had a pretty good guess of who is it.
¡§Tomoyo-chan I know it¡¦s you even if it is pitch black right now¡¨ Miri spoke to the shadow to her right knowing that the person had froze to spot at the sound of her voice.
¡§Mou~ Miri-chan! You catch me every time!¡¨ a red-faced Tomoyo stepped out from the shadows.
¡§Where are you going this time, princess?¡¨ Miri wiped her hands on her aprons and approach the princess, as she drew close, the light from the candle showed Tomoyo in a riding outfit. Miri sighed ¡§Should¡¦ve known¡¨
¡§Please~?¡¨ Tomoyo draw out her ultimate weapon, the puppy dog eyes. ¡§Mother and Father are out and it¡¦s not really THAT late¡K please~?¡¨
Miri sighed once again ¡§I don¡¦t know what I shall do with you. Don¡¦t give me that look¡¨ Miri avoided the ¡§secret weapon¡¨ Tomoyo¡¦s using on her, ¡§Off you go¡¨
¡§Arigatou!¡¨ Tomoyo hugged Miri before bouncing into the shadows.
¡§Wait¡¨ Tomoyo turned around, ¡§are you ok Tomoyo-chan? You look a little red¡¨
¡§Hontou? Well, I DO feel a little hot. But no worries! The wonderful Tomoyo is invincible! I¡¦ll be back before you know it!¡¨
¡§Take care¡¨
Tomoyo smiled softly before running into the darkness again.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
¡¥Finally, alone, blissful silence¡¦ Tomoyo thought as she raced on Moonlight, ¡¥Is it just me or is it getting hotter by the minute?¡¦ Tomoyo wiped the sweat off her brows, ¡¥probably just the after effects of using my magic like that¡¦
Arriving her ¡¥secret base¡¦, Tomoyo jumped off and went by the crystal lake. Scooping up some water, she splashed her face in effort to cool off her body. Reaching into her waist belt, she pulled out a handkerchief and dried her face.
The rabbit-creature known as Luki emerged from the bushes and headed towards its mistress.
Moonlight walked towards it and they exchanged a brief greeting before Luki reached Tomoyo.
¡§Hello,¡¨ Tomoyo stroked its soft glowing fur before frowning, ¡§What¡¦s wrong?¡¨
Luki tugged at her sleeve and walked towards the other side of the lake. Getting up, Tomoyo ordered Moonlight to stay and followed her companion.
Reaching a tree, Tomoyo realized that they arrived at the part of the forest where trees were silver and grow leaves as white as snow. ¡¥The Silver Forest¡¦ is the name Tomoyo gave for its particular characteristic.
Looking ahead, Tomoyo saw something by the bark of the tree. Something emitting a colorful glow.
Gasping, the princess ran towards it and stopped before dropping onto the ground.
It was the body of the Mouri she healed weeks before.
Tears streamed down her delicate face as she gently scooped up the bird.
¡§I¡¦m so sorry, Luki, it¡¦s all my fault¡¨ hugging the bird to her chest, she found the body slowly disappearing. Putting the bird down onto the grass, Tomoyo stared sadly at it.
~It is not your fault,~ Luki spoke to Tomoyo in her mind, ~you know as well as I do that your healing magic does have its drawbacks. It all depends on the patient.~
¡§But if I would¡¦ve paid more attention on the healing instead of thinking on something else, this Mouri would still be alive right now.¡¨
~Then let it be a lesson to you,~ the creature said, ~learn from this mistake and improve your magic skills. The Mouri, in this case, is inevitable for she is already ill in health. There is nothing you can do for her. Cheer up~. The rabbit jumped into Tomoyo¡¦s lap and snuggled against her chest.
Tomoyo looked at the creature in her arms with soft eyes, ¡¥Thank you, Luki¡K¡¦ Looking back at the body, she found that it has completely disappeared and in its place floated a brilliance of light.
A rainbow-colored feather.
~Look,~ Luki gestured towards the feather, ~this is a present from the Mouri. Even she knew you tried your best and didn¡¦t blame you.~
Wiping her eyes, Tomoyo reached for the feather. The moment she touched the multi-colored lights, her world pitched into darkness
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
From behind the silver trees, a figure watched as the princess collapsed
