Starless

"…Mother?" Tomoyo was shocked to see her mother in the hallway.

"Ah! Tomoyo! Where did you go?" Sonomi ran towards her daughter and hugged her close. Apparently, Tomoyo was accompanying her mother on a business trip but came back to the mansion.

With Yue…Tomoyo shook her head to rid the guardian out of her thoughts. This was not the time to be thinking about it.

Smiling sheepishly, she asked her mother what she was back for because she remembered that they were only to return the day after. Then she remembered that everything that revolves around her life would be reported to her mother. If they say them together, perhaps Sonomi may know about Yue already.

"Tomoyo dear, if you aren't doing anything, can we have a chat? Just this chat between you and me?" Sonomi asked, though she knew her daughter wouldn't refuse. And was replied with a nod. Taking a deep breath, she started the conversation.

"I was thinking about your…personal life. You have friends, classmates, teachers and family. But you don't seem to have anyone closer than that…" Sonomi started off, afraid of what she was trying to hint.

"Mother, if you are talking about me being boyfriend-less, then please remember how you chased off every guy that was chasing me." Tomoyo told her, giggling at the methods her mother used.

"I did? Did not! All I did was ask him very few questions and go through some interviews and just get some guards to keep an eye on you two! It was for your sake!" Sonomi protested.

"Just a few? Mother! You practically spent more time with him than him with me!"

"Ok. You win this time. But you do have someone don't you? Someone to rely on…someone that cares for you and will protect you even at the cost of his life…someone you love. And I promise to no longer interfere with it. Though I know that you are capable, I don't mind having a son to take over my place…"

Tomoyo nodded, her thoughts going back to Yue. But Yue was different from what she thought her mother was expecting…it was just different but special to her. "Yes mother, I do."

Sitting up from the bed, Sonomi smiled. Reassured by her daughter's words, she turned around and exited the room. But as the door closed, she told the guards.

"I want you to keep an eye on her, no matter where she is. I want to find out if she was lying or not and who this special someone is." The guards obeyed and nodded and she strolled to her room.

"I just don't want her to be hurt the same way I was. Neither do I want her to be alone…if only I spent more time with her."

Leaning against her balcony railings, Tomoyo stared out into the night sky. She wanted to go up there again…to see the stars. But she knew seeing the stars was just an excuse…she wanted Yue to take her. Being with it seemed to just calm her mind, yet make it frenzy at the same time. She felt as though it would take it any emotion that she poured out to him, as though it would stay be her side forever.

But, could that ever be?

Sighing, Tomoyo turned around and headed into her room, preparing for her night nap. And then she stopped, wondering how the moon guardian actually felt about her. Perhaps it was just trying to help her find the answer, help her find her true self. Perhaps that was all it felt.

Little did she know, a white figure was looking up to her. The moon light bounced off its silver hair, giving it a glowing look. It was standing there for quite some time and its eyes never left the princess. Only until she went in, did a pair of wings began to grow from its back. It turned and flew out of the estate, knowing it was the last time it'll ever see her.

Back in England, Kaho Mizuki was waiting at the airport for her lover. She was worried for she had woken up with a letter by her side, telling her that some urgent business had occurred and Eriol had to return to Japan for a night. Eriol did know how to take care of himself, but all the same, she was worried. Leaving without a word was never a good sign.

"Flight 125 has just arrived. Passengers, please go to belt 25 and collect your luggage."

Kaho quickly made her way to the front of all the family members of the passengers, wincing her eyes to scan for a black-haired figure amidst the crowd.

"Kaho?" a voice from below protruded her search.

Looking down, Kaho saw what she was looking for.

"Eriol! Where did you go?? Have you any idea how worried I was?" Kaho booted off. And Eriol caught hold of her hand and kissed it.

"That's precisely what I love about you."

Kaho blushed and looked for another topic to cover it up. "Where's your luggage?"

"Luggage?" Eriol looked amused. "Why, Kaho. Shouldn't you be smart enough to think that if I only went there for a night, no luggage would be needed?"

Smiling, they walked hand in hand back to their apartment. I just hope that they'd be smart enough to handle things on their own. It's the only way.

Mainey's Corner
Ok. That's the end of Eriol and Kaho. As in, I'm not bringing them in anymore. Heh. Anyway, to clear things up, Eriol is kind of their matchmaker and was only trying to bring out both of their emotions. So he isn't evil k? Heh. Anyway, sorry that this chapter took so long, didn't mean to. Just didn't have the heart to write even though I wanted to write and had so many tests to study for. Actually, I got pretty good grades…but, it's not very good. Oh well, till the next chapter then!
