Author's Notes: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. And the song At Your Side
belongs to The Corrs.
"It did", she replied as she stands up from her bed carefully. She observed that they we're close and as usual he's taller. She smiled lovingly at him as he touched her left cheek. "Don't Eriol-kun. Mizuki-sensei m-might get angry at you?"
"Why do I love her?" Eriol said. He saw her facial expression and she was confused. "Well the one I really love is-"he was cut off as the door opened. And in came Sakura and Syaoran...blinking their eyes.
"S-Sorry. We didn't know you we're talking PRIVATELY!" Sakura said. Eriol and Tomoyo just gave a slight laugh as Eriol released his hand from her cheek.
"N-No we're just talking", Tomoyo said, slightly flushed.
'Too bad you didn't tell her. It was so close', Eriol's alter ego said.
'Yeah too bad at all', he thought as he joined the group.
"By the way Eriol thanks for letting me borrow your guitar!" Syaoran said as he and Sakura we're leaving after an hour.
"No problem Syaoran", Eriol said.
"Bye", Sakura and Syaoran said.
"Bye", Tomoyo told them. Then the two left. Eriol get his guitar for a while. "Eriol would you do me a favor?"
"What is it?" Eriol asked as he sat down on her bed.
"Play the second stanza of the song At Your Side", she replied.
"And you'll sing it?" she shook her head.
"You'll be the one to sing it for me", she said.
"O-Oh", was all Eriol can say, cheeks flushed. "All right then", he said as he played the song.
If life's standing still
And your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes
You won't let be down
I will still believe
I will turn around
And you know that
I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone
And you have no where to turn
I'll be at your side
"Bravo! The reincarnation of Clow Reed sings very well!" Tomoyo cheered.
"I thought it was you who will sing it", Eriol said, still playing the guitar.
"Nah I rather hear you sing it for me...as a dedication", she said. "By the way I want to thank you for all the things you've done for me. For comforting me when Sakura and I had a little quarrel. And for everything".
"H-Huh?"
"In short I want to say thank you and I love you", Tomoyo replied. She flushed on what she said. That she loves him.
"Y-You love me?" Eriol asked, feeling himself flushing also.
"Yeah...a-as a friend", she said making it clear. Eriol's blue eyes were covered as he can feel it. "W-Why do you ask?"
"Nothing. It's because I also love you".
"Of curse you love me! We're friends!" she exclaimed.
"No Tomoyo", their eyes met. "I treat you more". And that made her silent.
'He really has feelings for me', Tomoyo thought, tucking her knees and resting her chin on top of her knee. 'How come I was so dense?' she lies down on her bed. It was late in the evening and her mom had slept on the couch. And she still couldn't sleep what Eriol said. She looked at the blue moon outside her window. 'I wonder if Eriol is also looking at the moon'. She was right coz' Eriol was lying and was looking at the moon.
'By now Tomoyo must be sleeping', Eriol thought. 'She couldn't believe that I truly love her. It was so weird when we say goodbye when I left. Well...at least she knows'. He took off his glasses as he placed it on the table which was near to his bed and he closed his eyes. 'Sweet dreams Tomoyo. God bless you'.
That day the telephone keeps ringing in Eriol's house and nobody answered the phone. "Coming!" Eriol said as he now pick it up. "Hello good morning?"
"Eriol!" it was Sakura and somehow he feels something is wrong. It's like her voice is panicking and full of worry. "Get here quick in the hospital! It's Tomoyo!"
"What about Tomoyo?" now he was the one who is panicking.
"She's in the emergency room. Please come here!"
"I'll be there!" he said as he put down the phone. "nakuru! Spinel! I'll go to the hospital for a while!"
"Something wrong master?" Nakuru asked.
"Tomoyo's in the emergency room", Eriol replied. He could see his two guardians we're shocked. "Can you go there later?"
"Sure master after we do our chores. I'll also inform Miss Kaho", Nakuru replied.
"Thanks Nakuru", Eriol said as he hurried to go to the hospital.
"Sakura!" Eriol called. At last he had arrived as he hurried himself to go to the emergency room. There he saw his friends and also Tomoyo's mom who we're waiting outside.
"Eriol..."Sakura was crying. But still she was hoping her friend is gonna be okay.
"How is she?" Eriol asked. Sakura didn't reply as she kept on crying. She hugged Eriol and Eriol was so confused. He looked at Sakura's boyfriend. "Syaoran?"
"The doctor said-"but Syaoran was cut off by Tomoyo's mom.
"I'll be the one to tell him Syaoran", Sonomi said. She wanted to be strong and Eriol noticed unlike Sakura she's not crying. "The doctor said she's in big trouble. Fifty percent she'll live or half of it she'll die. This morning her cough became worst that's why she's in the emergency room right now". Sonomi couldn't keep her tears as she began to cry.
"Sad to say there's no magic which can cure her sickness", Sakura said, still crying on Eriol's shoulder.
"I don't want to lose her", Eriol said in a soft voice. He doesn't want to break down coz' he believes that Tomoyo will live. Sakura let go of him as she faced him.
"She doesn't even want to lose you Eriol. Oh by the way she told me something this morning before she was brought to the emergency room. She said she really, really loves you a lot and she is so thankful to have a friend like you. She said she was sorry she couldn't return your feelings back because she only sees you as a friend", Sakura said. Somehow Eriol felt sad that he could not win Tomoyo's heart. But at least she loves him very much...as a dear friend.
"That's because she's very busy thinking of you that's why she never knew how much I love her", Eriol said. Sakura forced a smile, wiping her tears. Finally the doctor went out of the emergency room. The four gathered to the doctor.
"Doctor how's my daughter?" Sonomi asked, very nervous on what's the result. The doctor doesn't know how to respond.
"Is she gonna be fine?" Syaoran added, since the doctor hasn't answered Sonomi's question. The doctor sighed.
"Mrs. Daidouji...your daughter Tomoyo...she didn't make it", was his reply. Everyone fell silent on the news. Tomoyo is dead. "She was about to make it and was trying. But her body couldn't take the coughing. Her heartbeat was getting low that time. I'm sorry...we really tried everything".
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE!" Sakura exclaimed as she start crying again. Syaoran comfort her as he hugged her. Sonomi was in trauma as she sat down on the bench with Eriol beside her. Eriol comforted Sonomi as she was crying hard like Sakura. And Eriol too was crying.
'Why Tomoyo?' Eriol thought. 'Why did you leave us...leave me?'
It was the wake of Tomoyo as she was placed in a light purple coffin. She is still very beautiful to look at. Even though she is dead. After two days she will be buried. Eriol and his guardians we're there. As they look at the coffin of Tomoyo. "Sorry about this master", Nakuru began, placing her hand on top of Eriol's shoulder.
"Yeah master. Sorry", added Spinel.
"Don't be guys. Not even my magic can do to save her", Eriol said. Kaho was also there as she approached the three.
"Eriol we're just humans. You're a sorcerer but I don't think you can take away her sickness", Kaho said.
"Then maybe I can reincarnate her".
"Maybe?" Kaho commented. He sighed.
"I love her. And I want her back. I wished she just take me with her".
"Master, Miss Tomoyo won't be happy if ever she can do that", Nakuru interrupted. "She rather wants to see you happy".
"Why is it ironic if someone died they want to see their love ones happy?" he asked, still looking at the coffin.
"Coz' they want what's the best for them", Kaho replied. "They rather see their love ones happy than seeing them everyday with a sad expression. They want their love ones to move on".
"Will I be happy without her?" he asked as he lean closer to Tomoyo's coffin.
To be continued...
"It did", she replied as she stands up from her bed carefully. She observed that they we're close and as usual he's taller. She smiled lovingly at him as he touched her left cheek. "Don't Eriol-kun. Mizuki-sensei m-might get angry at you?"
