Vampire City

The street was filled with the busy hustle of vampires of all shapes, sizes, and ages, walking, talking, yelling, buying, and selling. Locked out from all this noise in a quant and quiet booth sat two teens. Sitting inside a small café drinking tea and eating sweet bread. From outside all one could see was this happy duo laughing and joking around and inside the shop they saw the same thing only it seemed a bit...deeper.

The boy sat across from the girl, both indulged in there seemingly amusing conversation. The conversation was not as most would think. It was broken up by long moments of silence to reflect on each there own words and to take soft sips of there tea and most times to munch on sweetbread. But if one were to pay more attention they would see the longing and want in the boy's eyes and the shake of his fingers that showed how he itched to touch the addictive girl across from him and they would also find the mysterious shadow in the girl's eyes. Each seemingly lost in the moment. Both trying to think of something to say that wouldn't touch that delicate part of there personal lives that they both had been so careful not to linger by. That is however..

"Tomoyo?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you miss them?"

She looked up slightly confused. "Miss who?" She didn't even have to ask.

By the look in his eyes and the slight fear in his voice that he had in deed touched that part of her life that she wished not to remember. But it was too late now. He had started and he never left a job half done.

"You know who. Your family, friends, all of the people you left behind in the mortal realm."

She looked down at her tea avoiding his gaze.

Oh that gaze, that look that lured her in and held her demanding to know all or else he get it by force; he hoped not by force; but willingly, and she Tomoyo Daidouji could not deny him that right. She lingered longer than she expected on silence before answering. "...Sometimes." He nodded almost as if he had expected her to say that obvious lie. "Only..sometimes?" She looked at him.

His face was void of emotion but his eyes betrayed him. He didn't want to know. He didn't honestly want that answer for he was afraid of what she might say. What she might want. What he might promise her. Give her, all to make her happy, see her smile. "No.All the time."

"But you ignore it ne?"

"Hai." She took a sip of her tea looking away from him. She felt vulnerable talking about her family.

It just wasn't..right to talk about her problems when Eriol so obviously had it much, much worse off than she ever would. She only had to deal with them until she was old enough to leave but he, he was stuck here for all eternity and even after that.

"You wish to see them.don't you?"

She couldn't deny that. No matter how much she tells them how much she loathes and despises everyone there, she could never fool herself and especially not Eriol.

"Hai.But I don't have that option."

He stared at her for awhile. She looked...different. He couldn't quite place his finger on it. It was almost like the light that was usually on in her had gone out. The light that he had gotten so used to had unconsciously depended on seeing everyday. That he was taken aback at just how vulnerable she seemed without it. He looked down at his cup resting his hand on the small handle.

"I'll take you home."

The answer had come so sudden and unexpected that it nearly knocked Tomoyo out of her chair.

"Y-You'll what?"

"I'll take you home. Just name the time or day and I'll take you wherever."

She watched him to see if this was all some kind of sick joke. But she knew, she didn't exactly know how she knew but she did. Eriol was completely serious. He would take her back home.

Back to Tomoeda.

Back to the Cherry blossoms, and Penguin Park.

Back to her elementary and high school.

Back to everything and everyone she ever knew.

And back to her very first love and her very first letdown.

Back to Sakura Kinomoto.

She looked quickly down to her tea her hair shielding her face from view. Eriol saw her shoulders shaking and wondered if he had gone too far. If he had touched that deep dark part of Tomoyo that he never knew existed. Panicked he stood up to reach across the table and gently touch her shoulder.

"Tomoyo?..." She looked up and he nearly fell over.

She gave him the most breath taking smile he had ever seen.

A smile so bright it made her eyes shine like a thousand beautiful pearls. And all he could do to keep from keeling over was to slowly sit back down. Staring in awe at, in his opinion, the most beautiful creature on earth, he simply shook his head in wonder. Before he could come down from his nirvana she pushed him back up it again by literally jumping on the table to give him a hug.

"T- Tomoyo?"

"Arigato Eriol-kun! Arigato!"

He was baffled for awhile before he gently wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her off the table and onto his lap, to keep her from getting in trouble with management. (Bit-kun: I doubt they'd mind her on the table though..Rage: I know I wouldn't mind! -drool-) He was awed at how perfect they fit together. Almost as if there bodies were made to be just the way they were now. Tomoyo on his lap and both locked in embrace. He found himself wondering if he felt just as wonderful to kiss her. Would she allow it? Would she say it was o.k.? Or would she freak out and leave never to return to him?

He shook off the thought and decided that he would stay her friend. Because...why would she want to be with him in that way? Technically he didn't exist. So why would she give up a lifetime with real people over an eternity with a half vampire?

Tomoyo felt the droop in the cheerful atmosphere and knowing that it definitely wasn't her, left her with only one other option. She gently pushed back to look in his face.

"Eriol-kun? Are you o.k.?"

He smiled slightly and nodded. "I'm perfectly fine Tomo-chan."

"You sure?" She tilted her head as an innocent gesture but only made Eriol want her more, her being so close didn't help matters any either.

"I'm positive. Let's go to the park now ne?"

She nodded climbing off his lap and watched as he paid for there meal smiled at her and walked out the door. She followed him with the growing feeling that she had somehow caused his mood swing. But all thoughts of that were erased from her mind when she remembered his promise.

If he meant what he said.

If he had the power to grant her deepest wish..

She, Tomoyo Daidouji.

Would finally be going home.

'Wait for me Sakura-chan, Li-kun...I'm coming back to Tomoeda, back to you.'


A/N: Okies! Done with this chapter. Did you like it? Was it o.k.? I certainly hope so. ;; O.k. now I have a bit of a predicament. Should I make Nakuru and Spinel go with them? Or not? I already know what I'm gonna do about a certain little guardian. But I'm not sure if I should make Mich come back? (Remember him? Tomoyo's ex?) Well I'll hopefully figure this out soon. And we'll be done with the Birth of Spinner soon ! celebrates! Well that's all for now! R&R ne? Ja matte! hops onto her couch
