Last time

Clank. Clang. Rip. Clang. Shing! (Sorry.it's a sword fight what can I say..; )

As the two figures went back and forth each delivering blow after blow. A tall dark haired man and a small blue haired boy, it was quite obvious that the latter was delivering the most blows and receiving the few. The only other witness, beside the all mighty Kami himself was the two still figures that stood flabbergasted on the ground watching as the previous two fought in midair, using their unnatural abilities.

Shinigami blinked in shock his black locks curling around his face from the self made wind, courtesy of the two warriors. He was speechless to say the least that his 'innocent' Spinel could cause so much damage!

Half an hour later found Eriol unconscious, courtesy of his father, for trying to help the young vamp, and Shinigami was still standing speechless on the ground now cradling a new wound on his left arm. He continued to watch the enraged child fight with nothing short of frightened awe. Spinel seemed to be the most dominant of the battle and was backing Clow into the wall. With a shout he knocked the sword out of the man's hand and held him at sword point. Eye's narrowed in furious slits he ground out his sentence.

"Tell me why you killed Sora-chan!"

Clow gave an exasperated sigh and sat straight. "Fine fine! I'm the cause of all of this! Is that what you want to hear! Well it would be a lie! Sure I caused this war but technically it was all your fathers fault!"

He shrieked. Spinel blinked and tilted his head eyes still narrowed.

"How in the hell is this my father's fault?"

"Want to know why? Huh? Huh? He stole my only love away from me with his forced charm and phony smiles!"

Spinel blinked again and promptly smacked Clow. "That's for being an Idiot! My parents loved each other! It was made to be you psycho!" Shinigami shook his head. "Weren't you in love with your wife?"

"Ofcorse I was! But when she passed away, Yuume was the one who made things better, she took care of me, she helped me get through this, and she was my one true love! And we belonged together! Your father tricked her! He made me out to be the bad guy! Sunni tricked everyone!"

"I thought his name was Hoshi?" Shinigami mocked receiving a glare from Clow.

Spinel rubbed his eyes. "You're out of your mind Clow." So preoccupied was he with his new found headache that he didn't notice the dagger Clow was taking out until it was too late.

Spinel blinked in shock as the dagger connected to flesh, Clow also seemed surprised. Spinel slumped to the floor cradling the wounded body in his arms.

"...Shinigami..."

Shinigami forced a smiled through his pain and gently traced a line from Spinel's ear to his chin. "Hey."

"You..you jerk..how could you do this to me.?"

"I didn't want you hurt. "

"But...your leaving me.."

"I had no choice..Couldn't let him hurt Spin-chan, Sora would never forgive me."

He stopped and hacked up blood he leaned back his face grim. "I didn't mean for things to go this way...I'm so sorry."

"No please don't talk that way..please you can't go."

He smiled reaching up to brush a wayward strand of hair behind his ear. "Take care of yourself."

"Please no."

"Make sure to watch out for Eriol-sama."

"You can't."

"And please don't ever change.."

"Please stay."

"Don't loose your kind heart.."

"Please Shin-chan don't."

"It would make us sad if you did.."

"Please...you can't leave me..not you too.."

"I love you Spin-chan...be good."

"...Bastard..."

He crooked leaning down to press a chaste kiss against his already cooling lips. "How dare you leave me.."

He bit his lip willing the tears to stop, to no avail. He then looked up his eyes red amongst the mass of his midnight hair. Clow was being held back by Eriol, Spinel didn't know when he had woken but none of that mattered.

"You...I should kill you...I should tear you apart..and leave the pieces for the rebels to fight over...but I won't.." He whispered looking down to Shinigami, he looked so peaceful.

"It...it wasn't supposed to happen like this...no one deserves such a fate..."

He was speaking more to himself than to anyone else; he keened and lost his battle against his tears freely crying onto the still form of his now dead love. "No one should have to face this.. no one deserves this... I wouldn't wish this on anyone...not even Clow... please.. let this be a dream... please... Kami can not be this cruel... why both of them?...why any of them."

He shut his eyes his eyebrow knitting angrily together. "I won't let this end like this. I won't. Even if I have to forget..I can't let it end like this..." He clutched Shinigami's hand stifling a whimper when he got no response.

"I wish..I wish...I wish everything..can be o.k..and we can all...forget."

Spinel continued his talk which would be passed as little more than the ramblings of a weeping lover. But he was glowing, and so was Shinigami, a wave of light passed from Spinel all throughout the castle and all through the Vampire realm. Spinel mumbled once more before surrendering into the blissfulness that the darkness seemed to offer.

"We can all be happy...when we just forget."

Present Time

Spinel.

Someone's calling me..

Spinel..

Who can it be..?

Spinel!...

Is that...Kami?

"SPINEL!" Spinel winced and rubbed his ear glaring at Nakuru. "Nope just Satan." He mumbled, all other insults died on his lips when he saw the sadness and panic in her eyes. ".What is it? Is it Eriol-sama?" She shook her head. "No, worse." "..Well what is it?" She frowned and looked up at him tears pricking at the side of her eyes. "Well.."

"ERIOL!" Eriol blinked in surprised as the small vampire ran into the room practically knocking him over. "Whoa!"

"You can't! It's wrong! Don't you care at all?"

"Whoa, whoa slow down! What's the problem?"

"Why did you promise such a stupid thing!"

Eriol's face lost all humor and he walked back to his chair sitting down. "It's none of your concern."

"You must be out of your damn mind if you think it's none of my concern!"

Eriol blinked in shock as did Nakuru as she moved to stand next to him.

"And why are you so concerned?"

"Why aren't you? I thought you liked her?"

"You have no idea."

"Then why make her go?"

"I'm not making her do anything, it's her own choice."

"But you gave her that choice!"

"I couldn't keep her locked up forever!"

"You sure as hell could have tried!"

Eriol blinked again. "Why? She wanted to see her family and friends..I'm letting her do that."

"And don't you just feel so proud of yourself."

"Enough!"

"No! It's enough when I say it is! Did you ever think how your supposed 'selfless act' would affect us?"

"Affect you? Why the hell should it affect you?"

"..Did you honestly think..that you were the only one who liked Tomoyo- chan's being here? Nakuru is practically all dried up of tears and the vampric servants aren't any better! She was light to us, light when all we had were dying memories of it and false sunlight! She was something real, a solid for us, we depended on her just as much as you!"

"How dare you!"

"How dare YOU! You selfish Bastard!...She was all I had!" Spinel gasped and covered his mouth taking a step back; realization dawned on Eriol's face.

"You love her."

"Not as much as you.."

"I'm not an issue."

"Neither am I..my love for Tomoyo is like a brother to a sister...a son to his mother..she was all I had to hold on to..and your pushing her away, you selfish prick!"

"You can't keep relying on her!"

"I could try! You had no right to do what you did!"

"I made her happy!"

"She was happy here!"

"No she wasn't!"

"Yes she was! She wouldn't have realized she was missing them if you hadn't brought it up! She was happy here! And she was making everyone else happy too!"

"...We couldn't keep her trapped."

"Why not?"

"It's wrong." Eriol answered, their screams had died down to a comforting whisper, and a broken sob.

"..I know..but I didn't want her to leave me."

"She never thought of it like that. I'm sure she didn't know...why don't you go tell her?"

"What good would that do?"

"Who knows...try."

Spinel let in a shaky breath before nodding and walking out.

Tomoyo's room

Tomoyo was practically singing as she packed her things, she was on cloud9 and loving it. "I'm coming home, I'm going home, to the Sun and air, and the home that I know, I'm going home to cherry blossoms, little wolves, and so much more! I'm really finally actually going home!" She nearly jumped out her skin when she spotted Spinel leaning against the door frame. "Spin! You startled me!" He remained quiet awhile just staring until he spoke.

"You're really happy.."

"Why shouldn't I be? I'm going back! No more fake suns! No more Darkness! No more creepy house! I'm going home!"

"..Did you really hate it so much here?...So much that you can't wait to leave us?" She paused.

"Oh Kami no! I didn't mean it like that."

"But that's how you said it. I guess he was right...you don't care."

"Yes I do! Spinel you must understand! I have a home and a life there! I left for so long! There all worried."

"Why would they be, from how you acted no one loves you there."

She froze before her face became blank. "That was wrong."

"But that's how you acted."

"Spinel, I am loved...just not the way I hoped."

"But we can love you! We can love you however you want! We can be your friends! We can be your family! You won't need to go back!"

She blinked before she smiled sadly kneeling down to wrap her arms around Spinel. "Oh Kami. I would never want to leave you love...but I have a life I need to fix things. I swear I'll come back as often as I can-"

"That's not enough! I don't want your phony promises! Don't try to pacify me with them! If you want to leave so bad just go!" She blinked in surprise.

"Just..go away..leave me." He whispered, voice and expression broken.

She bit her lip to keep her tears in seeing his round expressive eyes filled with tears; she pulled him against her and hugged him tight.

"Oh Spinel! I don't want to go, not like this! Please don't hate me! I swear to you I'll come back!"

"Please...please ...don't leave me.." He whimpered burying his face into her neck and hugging her with all he was worth.

"I'm not leaving forever, I'll always come back! And maybe we'll find a way so you can visit me there? I'd never intentionally hurt you! I love you Spinel, you're like the brother I never had!"

"..I don't..hate you, I just want you to stay..but I can wait..for you I'll wait."

She smiled and kissed his cheek wiping his tears away, he in turn kissed hers away, he kissed her forehead as well.

"I love you..Imotochan."

She stifled a gasp and smiled kissing his forehead again.

"And I love you.Oneechan."

He laughed softly and hugged her.

After awhile they both stood up she smiled at him and he smiled back. "Daywalker."

"Huh?"

"I'm..a daywalker. I can visit you in the day time too." She smiled and hugged him again.

"I would like that."

He smiled and took her bag. "I want to help, Imotochan." She patted his head.

"Thank you Oneechan."

Eriol looked up and smiled as Tomoyo and Spinel walked downstairs, "Ready?"

"Yeah." She turned and hugged Nakuru, having to struggle to get her to let go, she hugged Spinel and opened her hand to get her back but he refused. "Spinel..I need my bag."

"I'll bring it."

"But were leaving through here."

"I'm coming."

"What!?" Eriol shouted.

"If Spinel's going then so am I!" Nakuru declared clinging to Tomoyo's arm.

"What? You're not going Because HE'S not going!"

"Eriol-kun...be nice." Eriol sighed and rubbed his temples, it wouldn't do him any good to have Tomoyo mad at him.

"Fine fine...here Nakuru." He handed her a tablet. "So the sun won't harm you." She nodded and down the tablet after Eriol assured them that he had already taken one. They all stood at the entrance and sighed. "Here goes." Eriol murmured before they all stepped through.

'Trees...and squirrels.ew'

'Sunlight...damn it all.'

'Hey a park! Sugoi!'

'Sakura trees!'

They all had their separate thoughts, Eriol's face was nonchalant, Nakuru's was disgusted at the 'dirty' wildlife, Spinel was ecstatic about the possibility of playing, and Tomoyo was torn between crying and sheer bliss. "So...this is where you live?" Nakuru asked staying close to Eriol "Yup."

"You get to live here?" Spinel asked.

"No not in the park! At my house." She giggled. Her face then went sad as her mind ran with the memories she left behind. The other two shared looks before they attacked.

"Ah! Help! No no! I give I give!" Tomoyo was trying to escape the merciless tickles she was being subjected too. The other three vampires were smiling happily chasing her. "Ah! Save me! No no! Stay away! Don't- ack!" Tomoyo blinked in surprised as she was pulled into someone's arms, she turned to find Eriol, Spinel, and Nakuru being held back at Sword point.

"Tomoyo? What's going on?"
