"I see you have awaken, lover of the reincarnation of Clow Read," The man greeted with a slight, flourished bow. Tomoyo peered at the stranger curiously. The man was tall, with impossibly straight jet-black hair that flow pass his back, untied. His features, however, wasn't clearly defined, it is as if his whole face was shrouded with invisible mist. The only thing that was clear to Tomoyo was his eyes, a pair of brilliant topaz colour that was a few shades lighter than Syaoran's, which looked really sickening in Tomoyo's opinion right now.
"Who are you?" She asked finally, after giving him a doubtful look.
"I'm your worst nightmare..." [insert evil laughter]
"How so?..."
"Let's just say you are one unlucky princess to have caught Clow Read's eye and for the fact that you are the exact replica of dearest Arashi. I believe the Clow Read in Eriol have seen you and immediately recognised you as his past life's doomed lover..." his voice was silkily weaving around the atmosphere as the words sinked in Tomoyo's acknowledgement.
"If that isn't clear enough, I'll give you a more specific explanation in simpler terms. You are Arashi or rather, you are her reincarnation."
'That cannot be possible'
"Why not? It is believed that souls, who had lead a tragic life in the past would always come back, either to find happiness in the future, or to be tortured over and over until the soul can truly find happiness."
Tomoyo shot him an angry glare, "You read my mind!"
The man chuckled.
"Indeed I did. By the way, I have yet to make myself known. I'm Zean."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Are you going to do something about this?" The feminine voice was sharp and has an undertone of 'you-better-do-something-fast-before-I- kill-you'.
Eriol winced then looked at the speaker, Queen Daidouji.
"I will but I need the time to plan this out. If anything goes wrong with this plan and Tomoyo ends up getting hurt, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
"Glad you know this as well. Time is not on our side, not when it is wasted on the expense of Tomoyo's life," Sonomi replied curtly. The rest of the royalty who was not participating in this conversation watched on in tensed silence. Eriol was constantly put under severe pressure, all thanks to his love's mother, and all four guardians knew that if too much pressure was applied to the sorcerer, he will not be able to formulate a plan well enough to get the princess out safely.Luckily for Eriol, King Fujitaka came to the rescue.
"Sonomi-kun, this will not work with you constantly hounding on the poor child like this. You will have to calm down and let the Prince plan this in peace if you want Tomoyo to come back in one piece."
Sonomi shot him one of her well-known glares she reserved for servants who doesn't do their work well. Miraculously, though, she left Eriol alone and went to sit next to Sakura, her favourite niece.
~an hour later~
"I've got it!" Eriol tiredly exclaimed. Sonomi calmly glanced back at the Prince.
"Took you long enough."
"My apologies, your majesty. The plan is really simple actually, it's just that I didn't think of it sooner..." The four guardians looked at each other with a 'yeah, right' look. They knew that Eriol was being polite because he doesn't want the Queen to know that she was the cause why he had taken so long.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ah, it looks like my dearest senior is finally making his move," Zean spoke suddenly. He had been sitting across from Tomoyo in one of the armchairs since he first make his entrance after she woke up. Tomoyo frowned.
"What are you going to do to me?" That question had been gnawing at the edge of her mind since Zean introduced himself and she somehow had a really bad feeling about this.
"Do you still not know?" Zean asked innocently before continuing, "Why, to make you go through a fate that will make Hiiragizawa Eriol guilt- ridden for the rest of his pathetic little life!"
"Which I hope your words will not really come true," a new voice answered back icily.
