___________________________________________________________________
Eriol opened his azure eyes, almost blinded by the morning sun. He sat up awkwardly, suffering a little pain from the headache he experienced last night. He put on his eyeglasses and sighed.
"So much for my first day," he muttered as he got out of his bed and walked downstairs.
"Morning Master!!" Nakuru enthusiastically greeted the boy as she placed his breakfast on the table. "I promise to take good care of you Master and I WILL FETCH YOU TO-DA-Y!!"
Eriol couldn't help but smile. "Thank you then," he replied, sitting down on the chair. He put his hand on his forehead, feeling a bit dizzy.
Kaho then came in and noticed him. "Are you sure you can go to school like this?" she asked with great concern in her face. "You can always stay home and--"
"I'll go, thank you." Eriol smiled. "I promised Daidouji-san that I would show up everyday for her."
Spinel came out from the cabinet with a grin on its face. "Master, I'm very pleased in you," it said, working its way to Eriol's lap. "Daidouji-san is Sakura-san's best friend, as I assume?"
"Yes," Eriol nodded, then he stood up. "And if you'll excuse me, I have to go change into my uniform now." With that, he left to his room.
Nakuru tilted her head and said, "Master seems to be very energetic than he used to."
"And he smiles more often," added Spinel.
"I think his Daidouji-san is the reason behind all this," Kaho agreed, smiling warmly. "She could become a very important part in Eriol's life."
Tomoyo anxiously tapped her pencil on her desk, waiting for Eriol to get in the classroom. "He's late now," she murmured, trying to listen to the teacher discussing in front. At last, a knock was heard next the door flung open. There stood Eriol with an excuse note in his hand.
"You're late today, Hiragizawa-san," said the teacher as Eriol gave him his excuse letter. He bowed apologetically afterwards.
"I had a terrible headache last night. Gomen," he said, then went over to his seat.
"Hiragizawa-kun, are you alright?" Tomoyo whispered, who was sitting behind him. Eriol flashed her a smile and replied, "Yeah, just a little dizzy."
Tomoyo's expression was skeptical. "But you look a little pale. Sakura-chan called last night and said Keroberos felt something strange. Did you feel anything?" she asked.
Suddenly, Eriol's headache stroke again, forcing him to clench his fists. Tomoyo looked worried. "H-Hirigizawa-kun..?"
"Yue..Keroberos..Kaho.." he murmered, remembering something from Clow Reed's memory. He painfully grasped his head and closed his eyes shut.
"A-Ah..Hiragizawa-kun?!!" Tomoyo exclaimed, standing up from her seat.
The teacher dropped his chalk and turned to him. "Hiragizawa-san, what's happening?" he asked. Sakura and Li also stood up, sensing a very familiar aura.
"Shaoran-kun.." Sakura faced him, then Li turned to Tomoyo. She helped Eriol up as they stepped outside. "Sensei, I'll just take him to the clinic," she said.
"Ah, thank you, Daidouji-san." The teacher replied as Tomoyo helped Eriol walk.
"He was in terrible pain when he came in. But he seems to be calmed down," remarked the school nurse.
Tomoyo sat next to Eriol's bed. He was fast asleep.
"Thank you," she said, smiling forcefully. "I'll stay for a while."
The nurse nodded and left the two alone. Tomoyo faced the sleeping Eriol, her eyes starting to sting. "I've always looked forward to seeing you again, Hiragizawa-kun," she whispered, tucking the blanket on him gently. "But I don't know why it turned out this way.."
Tomoyo shakily wiped her tears away just before they spilled. Silence filled the room that it was almost deafening. She remembered herself when Eriol left for London three years ago. It gave her the opportunity to make movies about Sakura and her Sakura Cards since nothing ever happens when Eriol was gone. At first, she was glad that everything was at peace and Eriol left for good..but as days passed, she realized she took him for granted.
"K-Kaho.."
Eriol suddenly spoke causing Tomoyo to snap out. He was trying to reach something..from a dream? She leaned in closer so she could hear Eriol's muttering.
"Release me..release me," he uttered softly. After that, he went back to silence. Tomoyo felt cold for some reason. "H-Hiragizawa-kun.."
It was dismissal time when Nakuru fetched Eriol from school. He was waiting for her by the tree while Nakuru talked to Tomoyo.
"Daidouji-san, thank you very much for taking care of Master," she said, trying her best to smile. "I..I'm just afraid. I feel like something bad will happen to him today."
Tomoyo felt her heart crumple. She wanted to be with Eriol every second so she could take care of him, but.. She managed to smile halfheartedly. "I know you'll take good care of Eri.. Hiragizawa-kun," she replied when Eriol suddenly called Nakuru.
"It's getting dark," he said aloud. "Y-Yes, Master!" Nakuru led the way, walking abruptly ahead. Eriol then turned to Tomoyo..and smiled.
"I'm sorry to give you so much trouble on my first days," he said, bowing politely. Tomoyo shook her head. "N-No, it's alright. I'm glad to help," she replied but only to find herself staring at the ground. Something was bothering her very much.
"Farewell then. I'll see you tomorrow," he said and walked away with Nakuru.
Tomoyo watched him leave. She felt her chest tighten as her eyes began to sting. "Be safe.. please."
Nakuru was feeling very unseasy since Eriol was silent most of the time. He was thinking about a lot of things.
She then remembered Kaho telling her that something inevitable will happen really soon and that made her more and more worried. Whenvener Nakuru would ask her why, she would say she could feel it.
And indeed..something did.
A huge BANG! sound came up from behind as Nakuru immediately turned around. She gasped, tears running down her cheeks. The shock horrified her when she saw a car crashed against a tree..with Eriol lying down bloody on the sidewalk.
"MAAAAASTEEEEERRRR!!"
Eriol was rushed to the hospital, barely breathing. Nakuru bathed in her own tears, crying and shouting out his name relentlessly, hoping he would wake up..but he didn't. She quickly called up Kaho and explained everything, sobbing and hurting in every piercing word that got into her head.
"I couldn't protect him! I couldn't protect him.." Nakuru cried.
"Stay calm, Nakuru. We'll be on our way there. He's going to be all right," Kaho reassured her although she may never be sure. "Let's just hope he would.."
The doctor faced up to Kaho, Nakuru and Spinel with a bit of hope in his eyes. "Eriol will be alright," he began, but then his eyes suddenly saddened. "He wasn't hit that hard and wasn't severely injured. But what concerns me the most is that he.."
Kaho stood up, looking at him eagerly.
"He may forget."
Later that night, Kaho discussed the situation with her two other companitons. "We all know Eriol is Clow Reed's reincarnation," she began. "So it would be natural for Eriol to remember some of Clow's reminiscences."
Spinel and Nakuru nodded, listening carefully.
"But I discovered something very frightening when we went back to London.. I felt an aura back here in Japan and I was afraid that Eriol would return here. It was one of Clow Reed's spells, the one that I feared the most."
Nakuru leaned in closer. "Which is?"
Kaho looked at her nervously. "When Eriol fully recovers all of Clow Reed's memories, he will forget his own as Hiragizawa Eriol."
Spinel flew closer, too. "So you're saying, Eriol will become Clow Reed?" it asked.
Kaho nodded. "And he will no longer remember anything when he was Eriol..not even Daidouji Tomoyo."
"That explains everything why you tried to stop Master from coming back to Japan," said Nakuru, her face saddening. "But he really missed his friends.. particularly Daidouji-san. Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"I apologize," admitted Kaho, feeling very guilty. "I thought the spell was already broken so I believed that it would be safe if we came back..but only to regret that right now."
Tomoyo walked in Eriol's room, carrying a weak smile on her face. Two days have passed since the incident so she was getting very nervous and worried at the same time. She sat on one of the chairs as Eriol watched her every move, who was already awake.
"Hiragizawa-kun," Tomoyo began, her voice trembling, eyes about to spill tears. "I-I'm happy to see you're doing great and I--"
"What happened?" he suddenly cut in, his voice wasn't the same anymore. He lost the sweet and gentlemanly tone he used to give out whenever he talked to her.
"You..you don't remember?" Tomoyo asked, inching closer to his side. She tried to smile. "But you remember me..right?"
She wanted to make sure. "I'm Tomoyo, your friend. Remember?" Her eyes were moist and afraid, her voice trembling in uncertainty.
Eriol slowly looked at her, face-to-face. His eyes didn't light up anymore. They weren't the familiar ones Tomoyo knew.
And in a cold tone, he replied, "Tomoyo..who?"
__________________________________________________________________ Author's notes: Okay, that's it for Chapter 2. If any of you were wondering, I have nothing against Eriol (because I love him very much!) although in my fics, he seems to suffer a lot. Review please.. and I REALLY NEED A BETA READER. I find my fics so plain and emotionless but..I don't know..what do you think? Please comment, too, if my plot is confusing you. I usually suck in making plots and I'm better off in one-shots (I wish! And I'm planning to write a Shaman King fic of Horo/Tamao). Hehe.. Ingatz!
