Epilogue ~* Christmas Memories*~
A year had passed since that day of many tears ended. The spirit of Christmas was blooming in the cities of New York. The snow fell gently and sparkled like star dust on this gelid winter day. This Christmas day the star dust began blanketing this normally busy city with tranquility. The flickering colors of Christmas lights painted the snow that was wafting in the air rainbow colors. Tomoyo walked through the shimmering snow and into her new apartment building. She took the elevator to the 4th floor and walked in to room 125.
She placed her coat and purse on the coat rack gently as she tried to hold her luggage with her other hand which was shaking with exhaustion. Tomoyo spent most of the year traveling but recently she decided to settle down in New York and begin a new life. She found to her surprise that the apartment was already furnished. She liked her cozy new apartment it had gray carpet and light slate blue walls. The curtains were a iridescent violet and they framed a glass sliding door that lead out into a small patio. All the wooden furniture was a dark auburn and the plush furniture were a darker shade of the wall color.
She made her way into the bed room which was quite roomy and smelt of lavender. Her room had one window with the same iridescent curtains and wooden furniture as the living room. She then collapsed on her plush light violet bed and took a quick nap. When she opened her eyes it was still light out side her window. She got off of the bed and unpacked her suitcase and put everything in its place.
While she unpacked her clothes she noticed that there was a long white box underneath her blue dress. She picked the box up and sat back down on her bed. The box had a white gloss on it and it was decorated with red and green ribbons. Her amethyst eyes caught site of small card attached to the box as memories of Japan floated back to her.
*~Flash back *~
Eriol was handing out the gifts from underneath the large elegant Christmas tree to every one. He handed a long white box to Tomoyo.
"Here Tenshi-san it's for you from me please open it right away, Merry Christmas!"
Eriol then turned around and started to walk towards Nakuru.
*~ End of Flash Back~*
Tears fell onto the white box as she remembered this day the day when she left the mansion and created the name Tenshi Mikimoto as her false identity. She never had time to open the gift there was just too much going on and soon she forgot she had it. She snapped back to reality and her teary eyes read the card it said:
'To: Tenshi, Merry Christmas!
From: Yours truly Eriol'
Her fingers toyed with the ribbons and soon she began to open the white box. Her eyes sparkled as they feasted upon this wonderful site. There was but a single amethyst rose in the box that had a card attached to it's emerald stem it said:
'Merry Christmas Tenshi or should I say…Tomoyo. I love you my plum blossom.'
She let the card waft down on to the floor as she picked up the glittering rose jewel and held close to her heart. He did know who she really was that day. Before she placed the rose back into it's box, she noticed some thing glittering in the box. She picked it up gently after placing the rose on her plush bed. Tears fell like the rain as she stared at the glimmering, golden ring and at the luminous, white diamond that was placed in it's center. Just then she heard the window open and a breeze of snow rushed in. She hurried to the window and shut it but before she could turn around something grabbed her shoulders.
Shivers were sent down her spine as she went completely stiff from fear. She decided to turn her head to see what was sending fear through her body. Sapphire eyes sparkled with love as the young gentleman allowed Tomoyo to turn around. He put his arms around her waist and began kissing her with all the love and passion he held for so long. Tomoyo's began to feel light headed and she felt electricity flow through her body. Then the two departed and the gentleman stepped back leaving the plum blossom in complete shock.
The blue haired boy took the ring from Tomoyo's grasp and with a sweet yet wristful voice he said, "Tomoyo Daidiouji, please forgive me for what I have done to you in the past and allow me to have you back in my life…forever. Can I have your heart and keep it? What I am saying is will you marry me Tomoyo Daidouji?" Tomoyo's violet eyes started to shed tears as she walked closer to him and took his hand. She leaned close and whispered into his ear, "I can't..." Tomoyo was so close to him that she could feel his heart sink. "…I don't have a heart to give… because you stole it and you still have it. You always had my heart. What I am trying to say is yes I will marry you Eriol Harigawizawa." Eriol gently put the ring on Tomoyo's finger and pulled her into another kiss.
But this time Tomoyo kissed back, with all of the passion she held for him for 9 years…and Eriol was more then happy to accept it all. That Christmas night as Eriol laid in bed with Tomoyo the moon and the stars shone with envy in the indigo sky as they watched the magician and the plum blossom sleep with love in their hearts. Almost all was silent this night except for random, hushed "I love you's" here and there. Then subtly out of the pale ball of endless pure light a ghostly figure of a girl gradually appeared out of the sleeping couple's window and the girl couldn't help but just giggle with joy. Then she started to fade away with her laughter into the silver moonlight as Sakura blossoms frolicked in the icy, cold wind of December.
