(A/N: Thanks for all of your support! I'm so very touched. T-T Finally,
Eriol has come to confessing to Tomoyo. But instead of being happy or glad,
she cried. In this chapter, we'll find out more about Tomoyo's soul...
Chapter 11, Confused. Remember to R+R!)
+~+
" Oh no, I lost!" Sakura and Syaoran are both playing card games over at Sakura's place. They had made a rule that the winner will be allowed to command the loser to do one thing.
And unfortunately, Sakura lost.
" Now, now, you shall keep up with the rule, shouldn't you?" Asked Syaoran.
" Mou!" Sakura cried. " Fine!" She frowned. " What do you want me to do?" She asked.
Syaoran thought for a moment.
Then, he gave a sly smile.
" You know what I want." Syaoran whispered, moving his face closer to Sakura's.
Sakura playfully pinched his cheeks. " Naughty boy." She commented. Then, she moved closer and closer where their lips were about to meet...
DING-DONG! The doorbell rang.
Sakura stopped as Syaoran frowned.
Whoever it is outside at the door, that person is trying to spoil his good time.
And the only person he could think of doing this to him is - Touya, Sakura's brother.
" Oh no, onichan didn't bring his keys with him today," Sakura cried. " He'll be furious if he sees you here." She said.
" Then what should I..."
" Hurry up, to my room!" Said Sakura as she shoves Syaoran up the stairs. " No sound from you, 'kay?"
Syaoran nodded his head obediently and rushed up to her room. Then, all tidied up, Sakura went to open the door.
" Okeari~" Sakura stopped greeting her brother back. She looked at the person at her door. It wasn't her brother at all. It was -
Tomoyo, crying.
" Tomoyo chan?" Sakura asked and Tomoyo dropped herself on Sakura and cried bitterly. " Doshita no, Tomoyo chan?" Sakura asked in a caring tone.
" Itai! Hontou ni itai!" (Pain! Really painful!) Tomoyo cried in Sakura's arms.
" Tomoyo chan?" Sakura asked worriedly.
" I thought I heard Daidouji san." Said a voice from upstairs. It was Syaoran. " What happened?"
Sakura shook her head.
" Go get her a cup of tea. Go!" Sakura clued to Syaoran that something wrong has happened to Tomoyo. Syaoran immediately understood what Sakura meant and nodded his head and head to the kitchen, leaving the two girls alone.
Sakura helped Tomoyo to the sofa. They sat down and Sakura passed Tomoyo a box of tissues. Tomoyo took it and wiped her tears away.
" So...?" Sakura started.
Tomoyo did not speak for a moment until Syaoran returned with a teapot and teacups.
" Eriol confessed to me." Tomoyo said. Syaoran poured the burning tea onto his hand.
Syaoran went screaming around as Sakura went to help him up. Tomoyo sweatdropped.
" Con... Continue." Syaoran said in a voice of pain.
" He told me he loved and wouldn't mind if I don't love him back." Tomoyo said as she blushes bright red. She looked happy, yet sad at the same time.
" What's the problem there?" Syaoran asked.
" It's a big problem!" Tomoyo cried painfully as she stood up, tears in her eyes as she glared at Syaoran. " You'll never understand how I feel!" She cried and ran out of the house.
" YOU IDIOT!" Sakura screamed and pinched Syaoran's scald hand. " Shut up when you know of nothing!"
" I'm sorry! I didn't..."
Sakura sighed. " I guess you're innocent."
Syaoran nodded his head. " Of course I am!" He said jokingly. Sakura glared at him. It was the most fearful stare she ever gave. " I'm sorry!" Syaoran apologized.
Sakura sighed again.
" Look..."
~*~
Tomoyo cried and ran.
Why must it be him? Why? The thought to herself, tears pouring from her eyes as she runs.
She grabbed her T-shirt tightly.
Why must it be him? Why not somebody else? Why must it be Eriol? She thought sadly and furiously at the same time.
Tomoyo stopped running and fell on the ground on her butt. Itai... She thought, clenching her fist and holding real tight at her T-shirt. Hontou ni itai... Why? Why must I suffer... For him? She thought. Why do I feel so weird, for Eriol?
" Tomoyo chan?" Cried a voice.
Tomoyo looked up. It was Yukito.
~*~
" A... Arigatou." Tomoyo thanked softly when finished cleaning her face with the piece of tissue paper Yukito offered.
" So," Yukito started with a smile, looking at Tomoyo. " Can you tell me now? Tell me, why are you crying?"
Tomoyo looked down onto the ground awkwardly as she blushes bright red. Her face felt really hot whenever people mention about her problems. And most of time, it's about Eriol and her.
" Eriol... He confessed to me." Tomoyo muttered.
" Ah!" Yukito cried. Then, with a smile, he added, " That's great!" But his smile changed into a sad look.
Tomoyo cried.
" Tomoyo chan?" Yukito muttered. " Doshita no?" He asked.
Tomoyo cried furiously and shook her head vigorously as if her head would drop off anytime soon.
" Eriol will die!" Tomoyo cried. " Eriol will die! I don't want him to die! I don't want!"
" Tomoyo chan..." Said Yukito worriedly. " Ne, Tomoyo chan,"
" Na... Nani?" She asked, wiping her tears.
" I would like to know... Who's Eriol?" He asked innocently with a smile.
Tomoyo fall.
" Sore wa..."
~*~
" So, he is your very good friend." Yukito repeated. Tomoyo had just finished telling him about Eriol.
Tomoyo nodded her head.
" So," Yukito took a sip of juice. " Isn't that great?" He asked cheerfully.
Tomoyo cried.
Yukito spit out the juice in his mouth upon hearing Tomoyo crying. " I'm sorry!" He apologized, taking out a packet of tissue paper. " Gomen, gomen!"
Tomoyo took the tissue paper, wiped her tears away and calm down.
Yukito waited.
" I am a jinx." She said. Yukito look at her in confusion.
" What do you mean?" He asked.
" People around me said that I'm a jinx. My relatives get away from me because I'm a jinx. I'm a jinx that causes death."
Tomoyo paused, as Yukito look at her in a weird look.
" My dad and my mum died because of me." She said. " When both my parents were alive, I used to love my dad a lot. Cos' my mum often like to scold me. But... My dad died right after I thought I loved him dearly.
" Then, left alone by my dad, my mum and I survived together. I realized how precious my mum was. But then, she died in a car crash after that. And now, if I say I loved Eriol..." Said Tomoyo as she cries furiously. " He'll die!"
~*~
" Now you see why Tomoyo chan got so upset?" Asked Sakura. Syaoran nodded his head. Sakura had just finished explaining about Tomoyo's past as a 'jinx'.
" If that's so, does that means..." Syaoran paused and continued. " She loves Eriol?"
Sakura nodded her head. Syaoran slouched into the sofa.
" But, she wouldn't admit it." Said Sakura.
" Why?" Syaoran asked curiously as he sat up straight.
" She..." Sakura paused. " She doesn't want to see anyone to die anymore, just because of herself as a 'jinx'."
~*~
Yukito handed Tomoyo a piece of tissue paper. She accepted it and wiped her tears away.
" So, you loved him, don't you?" Yukito asked.
Tomoyo kept quiet.
The breeze blew by.
The silence remained.
" Well then," Said Yukito as he stood up. " I'll go look for him and kill him." He said in a deadly tone.
Tomoyo stunned.
" DAME!" She cried as she pulls Yukito. " DAME! DAME! You can't have him killed!" She cried.
" Why?"
" Cos' I don't want to see anyone that I love to die anymore!" Tomoyo sputtered.
Realizing what she had said, she covered her mouth.
Tears rolled down to her cheeks.
Yukito smile sadly and patted on her shoulders.
" You said it. You loved him." He said.
Tomoyo sat there unmoved. Then, she cried.
" He's going to die soon! He's is going to!" She cried and hugged onto Yukito. Yukito patted her. " I don't want him to die! I really don't want to!" She cried.
Yukito pulled his arms away from Tomoyo sadly and left her to sit properly.
Tomoyo continued crying in grief.
" I would want you to tell me." Yukito said.
Tomoyo looked at Yukito, sniffing.
Yukito smiled. " I would rather die than to not know how does someone that I really loved feel about me."
Tomoyo looked at him, stunned. Yukito continued smiling.
" But... He'll die." Tomoyo muttered, calmed down.
" I believe in miracles." Said Yukito as Tomoyo look up at him. " You know, miracles DO happen when you want them to." He said and smiled. " And for your case, miracles will SURELY appear."
Tomoyo kept quiet for a moment.
" So... What do you think I should do?" She asked.
" Tell him that you loved him too." Yukito replied with a smile. " He'll be happy."
" But..."
" Believe in yourself." Said Yukito strictly. " Believe in miracles. And it'll appear."
With the few words that Yukito had just said, Tomoyo broke into a smile.
" Arigatou, Yukito san."
~*~
" So, you feel better now?" Asked Yukito. Tomoyo nodded her head.
" Gomen ne, I made you worry." Tomoyo apologized with a smile.
Yukito shook his head. " Nah, it's okay."
" Then I'll get going then." Said Tomoyo as she waved her hand. " Sayonnara!"
" Sayonnara." Yukito bid as he sees Tomoyo ran away in her normal self.
Yukito heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and was about to go until...
" Yukito!" Cried a familiar voice.
Yukito turned around and looked at the girl.
" Kiyoko."
The two stood there as breeze blew by with drops of Sakura petals.
