Note: Hi all! Sorry for making you wait! ^^; I was trying to give myself a break from all that updating! Heh heh, anyways, we last left off with...*gasp* Kaho dying along with her husband and of course Jiro is defeated. Once again, Eriol and Tomoyo are reunited so....what happened to Victoria Converse you ask? o.O Well, here is the chapter where you find out!
Chapter 9 - Life Anew
"Okasan, please don't yell. I..." She paused, moving the phone a little bit away from her ear as she allowed her mother to 'speak her mind.' She was in the middle of telling her mother where she has been these last few days, apologizing at least three times now, but her mother would always cut in, saying things like how 'she told her so' and how frightened she was for her life. Of course, Tomoyo Daidouji left out the part where she was kidnapped in the cab by a Jiro who pretended to be the driver, instead, she jumped to the part where she got herself lost in the big city of London. She eventually called Eriol, asking him to pick her up from a hotel. "A little lie couldn't hurt," she whispered to the tall man standing behind her. He understood, nodding his head. Eriol lifted both his hands and rested them on her shoulders and began to massage her nervousness away from her body. Tomoyo relaxed in his touch. It was such a wonderful feeling to be with him again.
"Tomoyo, I want you to return here immediately!" her mother's stern voice boomed from the other line.
Eriol of course heard that one. He watched as Tomoyo frowned in disappointment. She lowered her voice a little and began to respond to her mother in a gentle tone. "Mother, please don't do this. It has been a while since I have been with Eriol. I said I would spend my whole summer here in England and I'm not about to go back there and ruin myself a good vacation."
"You are still eighteen, young lady! When I say you come home, you come home! I will be calling a cab for you to take to the airport."
"Mother..." She stopped in mid-sentence when she felt someone's hand tapping her on the shoulder. Tomoyo glanced over her shoulder and noticed Eriol gesturing for her to hand him the phone. Immediately, she obeyed, handing it to him.
Eriol pressed the phone close to his ear and cleared his throat. "Hello, Daidouji-san?" He heard silence on the other line, but was relieved when Sonomi spoke again. "Hello, Hiragizawa-san."
"I know you must have been frightened when Tomoyo went missing for these last couple of days. But please don't be alarmed about this. She is here with me now and is safe and unharmed. You should reconsider the decision to bring her home, because I want to spend my whole summer with her."
"I understand you wish this, Hiragizawa-san, but..." He heard her sigh and Eriol knew she was thinking this. After a couple of seconds, she spoke again, "All right. Please take care of her, Hiragizawa-san. She is my only daughter and-"
"And I won't let anything happen to her." Eriol glanced at Tomoyo and smiled. "I will die first if anything did."
Hearing this, Tomoyo did not return his smile. Instead, she frowned and folded her arms across her chest worriedly.
"Well, okay. I guess that's all right. Can I talk to her again please?"
Eriol nodded. "Of course." He handed the phone back to Tomoyo.
"Hello, okasan."
"Hello, anata. You can stay, but please do be careful...I love you."
Tomoyo smiled. "I love you too, okasan. I will be careful."
"All right. Have fun! Ja ne!"
"Arigatou, okasan! Ja ne!" Tomoyo heard the other phone click and she herself did the same, putting the phone back on its receiver. She turned to look at Eriol, remembering what he said to her mother before and felt herself frown. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but closed it back again, unsure of how to respond to those words he said.
Eriol knew it. He approached her and put his arms around her, kissing the top of her head. "You will never lose me, Tomoyo. Not in a million years." He embraced her tightly and Tomoyo made herself comfortable, putting her face at the crook of his neck to smell his sweet smelling cologne. She smiled, wrapping her own tiny arms around the tall man and buried herself more into his smell.
However, their sweet serenity was interrupted when they heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it!" Nakuru's voice squeaked through the hallway. Tomoyo and Eriol heard Nakuru's footsteps as she made her way to the entrance and heard the door opening. "Master, it's the Detective."
The couple broke from their embrace and peered at the person standing there, blocked by Nakuru's tall form. Eriol, being tall himself, looked above Nakuru's shoulder and immediately recognized Victoria Converse.
"Oh, it's her," Eriol whispered.
Tomoyo glanced him curiously. "Who?"
Eriol looked at her and grabbed her hand. "I think she'd want to talk to you." Without another word, he dragged the confused girl with him towards the front door. Nakuru stepped aside, letting her master and her 'girlfriend' meet the medium height detective. Eriol was the first one to speak as Nakuru watched on. "Hello, Detective. I'm glad you see here again." He pulled Tomoyo beside him gently.
Victoria's eyes suddenly strayed towards a familiar girl standing beside the handsome boy. "You are..."
"She's Tomoyo. The girl you were looking for."
The blond stared at Eriol curiously. "And... What?" What was going on here? Wasn't she missing?
"Why were you looking for me?" Tomoyo asked.
The Detective stared at her for a moment, wondering if this was a dream, or just her imagination, but as she blinked a couple of times, she knew she wasn't feeling any of those things. She was indeed awake and was indeed sane. Realizing that she has been staring at the girl, a bit scaring her, Victoria cleared her throat and nodded. "Yes, I was actually. Your...er...mother called, reporting to our department here that her daughter, who traveled from Japan went missing immediately after she was suppose to land."
Tomoyo glanced at Eriol, wondering whether this was true and she got a nod from him. "Well, Detective, I think it's time we explain everything to you. You see, my mother gets nervous and very upset when I don't call her, when I was suppose to. I was too scared looking for Eriol's place that I didn't have the time to call her and tell her I was lost. The cab that I was in, took off with the luggage and my money, so I spent those days looking for a place to stay and a phone I could use to call Eriol, but in those days, there was no such luck."
Victoria nodded. "I see." She took her attention towards the tall young man. "I apologize earlier, Mr. Hiragizawa for interrogating you. In these parts, many girls go missing and I am usually put in the case to investigate and to find out the assholes that rip them from their lives." She then put her eyes back to Tomoyo. "You be careful around these parts, Tomoyo. Make sure you have your boyfriend here to keep you company at all times."
Eriol nodded. "Of course."
Suddenly, they heard something hissing in the background and a voice, saying the Detective's name a couple of times through her radio. Victoria excused herself and unhooked her expensive walkie talkie and began speaking through it. "This is Detective Converse, what do you have for me?" She listened as Eriol and Tomoyo watched on. "Yes, sir. I have found the missing girl, but she is found now. She's back where she belongs. A new assignment? Of course." After a couple of minutes, she clicked it off and nodded towards the couple. "Thank you for your explanations, Tomoyo. I wish you and Mr. Hiragizawa..." Victoria looked at Eriol. "A happy life together." She gave them a rare smile. "I have been assigned to a different post now. See you later."
Both Eriol and Tomoyo nodded, watching as she stepped inside her car and drove off. "You are just a little liar, aren't you, Tomoyo?" Eriol asked, putting an arm around her shoulder.
Tomoyo punched him playfully in the arm and laughed. "Well, this little liar will be going on a date with you tonight you know!" She winked at him and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
"Does this mean you WILL go on a date with me?" Eriol asked, pretending to gasp.
"Duh!" She suddenly stopped laughing as she stared into his dark eyes. "Does this mean what I think it means? Are we really... an item?"
Eriol shrugged. "If you put it that way, sure!" He smiled when Tomoyo pouted playfully, but he wrapped his arms around her and kissed the tip of her nose. "Only if you let me."
Tomoyo smiled and nodded. "Of course..." she whispered.
***************
The drive to Maples Creek apartment was a short one, at least twenty minutes than most places she had to drive to. Victoria Converse parked her car on the side of the street, opposite to where the apartment was situated in. There was a single ambulance, two fire trucks, one police car and far too many spectators on the scene. The firemen had already put out the fire, as Victoria noticed, since there was no longer smoke coming out of the third floor apartment room. The blond Detective made her way down to the first class policeman standing by the doorway, talking to an elderly woman with white hair.
"What's up, Harvett?" Converse questioned, approaching the twenty-five year old cop, James Harvett. "The Chief asked me to come here and check this out. What's the report?" The brown haired man glanced at her and nodded at the white haired woman, then dismissed the older woman gently with his soft voice.
James turned his eyes towards the high ranking Lieutenant and nodded towards a room now filled with dark charcoal. "I think you should check this out, Lieutenant." With those words, he led the way to the third floor apartment. Victoria followed him curiously, the smell of smoke now filling her nostrils. It looks as though the whole building was on fire. After climbing a flight of stairs, they were now standing in front of room 205, with its door knocked down from the melted hinges. James paused by the doorway as he let the older cop take a look at the damage done. Victoria stepped inside and examined everything around her. There was nothing left from the fire, except a very well preserved couple laying on the floor, with their arms around each other. It was odd, because their skins were not burned so badly unlike the surroundings. Everything was melted, except for themselves. Victoria found an odd looking bell, which she noticed, used to be made of pure gold, in the palm of the woman's hands. Considering the safety of their bodies from the fire, the two were lifeless. There was no signs of life breathing from their lungs. "They must have inhaled so much smoke that they died," she heard James say. She couldn't argue with that. Fire or not, smoke was the worse kind to be trapped in. Victoria looked around for any other signs of life, but if there were, they would have been taken to the hospital. "Are these the only two present in this room?" She looked at Harvett, who nodded in response.
"It's possible it was arson, but there was no sign of matches or electrical wiring present to confirm that theory. It's quite odd actually, even those bodies there. I mean I also found this..." Victoria looked up. Inside a large ziploc bag James was carrying, there was a sharp, thin knife with blood dripping from the side. The blond took it from his hand gently and scanned the item inside. As she did this, James went on. "This was jabbed through the man's heart, but as I looked further, it seemed he did not make any attempts to struggle from the attack. Another thing..." He paused, making the blond Detective look up. "I found the knife inside the woman's hands as if she stabbed him."
Victoria nodded and glanced back at the two bodies. "Thank you, Harvett. You may go now. We'll have the crime scene unit take care of this job. There is nothing else we can do here."
James nodded and led the way out once again. Victoria followed him, but paused just outside the hallway when she heard something. "What is it, Lieutenant?" Victoria did not respond, instead she went back inside the room and looked around. Did she hear right? Did she just hear an infant crying? "Lieutenant?" Victoria followed the noise, walking across the main room, pass the dead bodies and made her way towards the bedroom. To her shock, on top of the burnt bed, a baby laid squirming, crying wildly for his or her mother. She heard a gasp from behind and knew right away that it was the young cop.
"A baby?" James asked, glancing at the blond woman beside him.
Victoria didn't say anything. She walked towards the child and stared at it for a while. The child was beautiful, despite the dark coloring around his cheeks of what seemed like from charcoal. The blond immediately noticed that he was a boy, smelling of smoke from the fire. It stopped crying as she came into his view and began smiling, reaching out his tiny hands into the air towards her. "Warn the paramedics. This baby needs to be examined." She stared into his bright chocolate eyes and tiny dark strands of hair that slightly covered it.
James nodded silently and left the building to fetch the paramedics. Without thinking, Victoria picked up the baby in her arms and began rocking him back and forth. The baby had stopped crying and was actually laughing in excitement. When he was secured in her arms, she turned and made her out of the building, towards the ambulance to be examined for any injuries or sickness.
***********************
"He's going to be all right now," he said as she listened. She didn't know why she was here. She didn't need to be. But for some reason, she was attached to him, attached to those brilliant brown eyes and frighteningly adorable dark locks. For a single woman, it was quite natural. But being thirty one and having no child... that was just sad. Victoria laughed at that thought mentally, but it was suddenly interrupted when the Doctor's voice spoke again. "So, do you want me to call an orphanage to have him picked up or should I leave him to you, Lieutenant?" Victoria looked up at the middle aged man dressed in a lab coat and turned her attention back towards the crib the baby was in. She thought about it for a minute. Did she really want this kid? She didn't need a baby. She had a job that required dangerous situations. Would she really want the child to be in that path? Without thinking... Victoria took a deep breath and nodded. "I'll take him home with me."
The Doctor nodded, quite satisfied with her decision. "All right. He'll be with you in a short while. I'll have the nurse bring him to you."
"Thank you, Doctor," Victoria replied.
The bald man wrapped his stethoscope around his neck, patting Victoria's back gently and left without another word. Victoria turned her attention back towards the young baby and watched him sleep.
Was this really a good decision? she thought. "I'll never know..." Victoria spoke out loud. For the time being, she'll have to live with it for a while. Maybe something good will come of it.
GoodGurl: Hm........So that whole chapter was mostly about Victoria and hey...you wonder...who is dat baby???? It must be obvious, but how did he survive the fire?
