Chapter Six - Confronting Your Love
====================================================

Days went by and Sakura and Syaoran got closer than ever. Syaoran's room was moved to the room right next to Sakura's which was connected with a door. This helped the two to meet and talk better without really moving much. Just open the door and you're in the other's room! Bye the way, the door has a LOCK. Just wanted to get that straight. Well, anyway, Sakura became nice again and everyone was happy. Everyone but two people. They were Prince Eriol and the maid, Tomoyo.

One day, Eriol couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't bare watching Tomoyo avoiding him and being formal to him. What happened to the days they talked freely to each other? Oh right. Eriol took a big gamble and threw it away. So Eriol went to Tomoyo's room. He knocked.

"Coming!" she answered. When she opened the door, her smile dropped to a frown.

"I needed to talk to you, Tomoyo," he said.

"I have nothing to talk about, your highness and I have to tend Sakura-chan," she answered with her head down. Eriol was pretty irritated and mad.

"I order you to look up and speak to me," he said almost growling. Tomoyo's eyes widen. Since when was Eriol this scary?!

"I... I can't do that, sir," she replied. Now Eriol was really mad. He took her wrist and dragged her to his room, ignoring her complaints. When he got to his room, he locked the door and pinned Tomoyo against the wall.

"Why have you been avoiding me, Tomoyo?" His voice was gentler and kinder with patience.

"I....." Tomoyo couldn't say a thing.

"Please tell me. Do I make you feel pity? Burdon? Uncomfortable? Please tell me Tomoyo," he practically begged. He look like a helpless little boy but his grip was still strong. "If you don't like me, love me, just tell me. Please... just don't avoid me. We can stay as friends and nothing more. I won't press on you if thats what you feel." His eyes were pools of sadness. It had pain and yet love in them. Tomoyo started to cry. Eriol, surprised, let her go and Tomoyo sat down with her knees up and her head on it. She cried. Eriol was VERY worried.

"Was it something I said??!?!?! Was it my fault?!?! I'm sorry!" All Tomoyo did was shake her head, no. "Than what is it? Tell me." Eriol rubbed her back and hugged her. Soon Tomoyo's cries became sobs then nothing. When she stopped, Eriol lifted her face by her chin and looked at her. "Tell me Tomoyo," he said with a smile. Tomoyo couldn't help but smile with him.

"I... it's just that.... I'm not 'worthy' of your love... You're a prince and I'm a maid... it'll never work out," she explained sadly. He smiled tentively.

"Is that all it was? Tomoyo, love is earned not given. You have earned my love and so you are worthy. Does this mean you do love me?" Tomoyo was surprised at how calm he was and nodded. Eriol's smile turned huge and he grinned from ear to ear. He hugged her closely.

"I love you too Tomoyo."

"But it's still not going to work out!" she said, pulling back. Eriol looked at her and chuckled.

"Tsk tsk tsk. You weren't this pessimestic the last time I saw you Tomoyo! If it wasn't going to work out, I wouldn't even have come! You see my parents are really kind and I asked them if I could marry the girl of MY choice, even if she was a peasant or a homeless or a thief... ok. maybe not a thief. They agreed and a maid is better than a peasant, homeless, or a bandit! They'll agree for sure!" Tomoyo's frown turned into a big smile.

"Truely your highness? You wouldn't be lying?"

"Nope! Oh and Tomoyo?" he said as she looked at him, "call me Eriol." Tomoyo nodded eagerly and Eriol laughed. They hugged. They kissed. The hugged some more and they kissed some more. They laughed. They cried. They experianced the joy or being together with your love that day.

====================================================

Eww... Mushy and Sappy and a stupid ending! But I had to do SOMETHING with Tomoyo and Eriol. They were just floating around, waiting. This is for all the E+T fans... and me to get this over with. I apologize for updating so late (boy I do that all the time huh?). I hope SOME people are actually reading this! The story is ending soon! Very soon! Maybe 2~3 chapters! Bye~

What was this feeling? The warm feeling that Syaoran and Sakura feel when they're together? Can this be....

"Father. I found the man of my life. The man I wish to live with for all my life. The man who will make me happy forever. The man who I feel that I live for. He is......
