Chapter 5
Mnemosyne- In Greek mythology, the goddess of memory. She and Zeus, father of the gods, were the parents of the nine Muses. Mnemosyne was one of the pre-Olympian Titans, who were the children of the god of the heavens, Uranus, and the goddess of the earth, Gaea.
A week has past and as Syaoran had now approximately received 21 tests and all was successful to Tomoyo's disappointment. She gave all of the impossible, the supernatural and the unthinkable. It was all accomplish with no sweat at all. Tomoyo was thinking for more tests but nothing was going in her head. Touya called her last night and told her that he would go to Japan at the end of the month….
"Sakura, let's have lunch." She called through the intercom. Sakura shouted yes very cheerfully and told Tomoyo to wait for her because she has a few more papers to sign. Tomoyo sighed and looked at the huge windows. The sun was really shining. It was too bright for her. Thoughts about her mother came in her mind.
"Okasan, I wish you were here… I wish you hadn't died yet…" Tomoyo said to herself. She faced her desk and saw a frame. She and her mother were on the picture. She was holding a huge trophy written on it was the champion singer….
"I hope those good moments would last forever." She said to herself again. The phone rang and she heard her secretary answered it. The next was the secretary went inside saying that it was a call from the Hiiragizawa Company. Tomoyo sighed and told the secretary that she wasn't there. She told her to tell the 'FREAK' that she already was abducted by aliens and moved away to a different solar system. The secretary did this not asking why.
"I'm finished! Let's go eat!" She heard the intercom said. Tomoyo answered and got her sun glasses and went out of the office. When they were in front of the elevator and Tomoyo ready to push the button marked 'G' but to her shock the elevator door opened and two male figures were there.
"YOU AGAIN!" Tomoyo said quickly raising her voice.
"Daidouji-san, I thought you moved to another solar system… I thought you were abducted by aliens???" Eriol began.
"Well, the aliens told me to suffer in this planet with you…" She answered back.
"Hiiragizawa, you really care about Tomoyo." Sakura commented.
"On the contrary, I don't. I was just wondering how scared the aliens would look like when they saw Tomoyo's face. She would make the aliens think about how boyish human girls are…." Eriol teased. Tomoyo tightened her fist and punched Eriol. Unfortunately Eriol dodged it.
"MOCK ME AGAIN, YOU'LL SURELY GO TO HELL!" Tomoyo said. The elevator opened and Tomoyo went out.
~CAFÉ d CAFÉ ~
"I would just want a fettuccini and a cold mocha java…" Tomoyo ordered and gave the menu to the waiter.
"I would just have what she's having…" Sakura said giving her menu too.
"I would rather have a club house sandwich and a can of Vanilla coke please." Eriol ordered giving his menu too.
"I'll just have coffee…" Syaoran simply said. The waiter left.
"So, tell me again… What are you two doing here?" She said looking at the freak seated in front of her.
"Well, we wanted lunch so we joined you." Eriol answered.
"Why can't you just go to a different café and leave us in peace!" Tomoyo said irritated.
"Well, we want this Café you have no right to kick us out because you're not the owner." Eriol responded.
"I could buy this café, you know that Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo reminded.
"Well, you could and I could too." Eriol said. Tomoyo was about to answer him back but the waiter arrived with their order.
"Let's have a peaceful lunch… Can we?" Sakura said. Tomoyo gave Eriol a look and ate her lunch without saying a word.
"Anou…. Tomoyo, I would go home early today… I have to do spring cleaning… Oniichan would tease me again for being so unlady like…" Sakura started a conversation…
"Sure, be sure to finish your papers and all… I want to help you, but I have some more things to do… Is it alright?" Tomoyo said. She saw Sakura nodded. The lunch period ended and they went to their own offices.

It was 6:00 p.m. Tomoyo was walking alone. She told her driver that she would prefer to walk… Evening Exercise… It was raining that night. Tomoyo was wearing a coat and holding an umbrella on one hand and a bouquet. She took a right turn and then she saw a grave yard. She got hold of a key from her pocket and opened the family grave yard… She put the bouquet in the tomb of Sonomi Daidouji…
"Oh, mother…. I really miss you… I'm sorry to disturb your grave but… I'm really troubled… I lost you already; I don't want to loose Sakura… I did remember on your last will that you wanted me to help Sakura in her educational and financial needs. I did accomplish it…. I really got close to her…. She became your substitute in my life. But, Li Syaoran, Li Syaoran would take her away…." She sat down and bowed her head and held tightly on her skirt. Tears were dropping from her cheeks to the back of her hands.
"I'm sorry mother… I really am sorry. Because of me you died… If only I didn't have a grand concert on your meeting day… If only I didn't got mad at you and wished you never to return… I'm so sorry…" Tomoyo said and spilled her tears out.
~Flash Back~
"We have an emergency meeting… I may not come to your concert…." Sonomi apologized holding a phone in her hand…
"You promised! Mother this is my chance to become a star singer… I offered this concert just for you!" Tomoyo answered back in pleading eyes.
"Invite your best friend, Sakura… Let her cheer up… It must be hard for her about Fujitaka's death…" Sonomi said and started putting her stockings on.
"Mother…. I really want you to come…" Tomoyo said depressed.
"I'm so sorry Tomoyo… Business needs me…." Sonomi said. She looked at Tomoyo who began to cry.
"You cared about the business more than me…. You care mostly about the business…. Mother, what did I do wrong? Don't you love me?" Tomoyo stood up and ran to her room.
"Tomoyo…" Sonomi said and chased her up. Tomoyo closed her door and started crying out loud.
"I HOPE YOU'LL NEVER COME BACK!" She said.

"Ms. Daidouji, your mother experienced an accident… Her car crashed down… We took her to the hospital but the doctors said that she was dead… She also whispered to us…" A police man said to Tomoyo after finishing her song.
~End of Flashback~
"You said that… You're sorry… I figured out why you crashed. It was raining and was very dark… Your headlights were broken. You hurried to my concert…" Tomoyo said and cried some more. She stayed like that for a few more minutes and got up and left. She went to the park and watched the big full moon. She realized that she forgot her umbrella at the grave yard. Her eyes were still red and dried up from crying. The rain drops were hiding those tears falling in her pale face.
"You know, staying under the rain could get you sick… Ms. Daidouji…" She heard the familiar voice stunned her.
"Why are you always irritating me? Mr. Hiiragizawa." Tomoyo said not looking at Eriol. She didn't dare look at him in this kind of situation.
"I'm just worried about your health… I didn't plan to irritate you… You look like you're in a bad mood." He said. He knew Tomoyo was… depressed.
"I don't want you to worry about me…. I can handle myself on my own…" She said and finally got the courage to look at Eriol…
"Stop forcing yourself to be matured… You're still young…." Eriol replied. She went near her to share with her the umbrella.
"You don't know anything… Shut up." She said still not moving from her spot.
"I know I don't know your past but…. I really 'care' about you." He said. Tomoyo was shocked and looked at his eyes. It was so sincere, so innocent…
"I always beat you up… I always say some bad things about you… Why do you still care? Why can't you hate me?" She asked. She was gently punching her fist on Eriol on the chest… She was asking for answers….
"I couldn't hate you…. I just couldn't" He said. Tomoyo hugged him and kept crying. She looked up to him and looked at those blue calming eyes…
"Hiiragizawa…" She whispered. Eriol looked at her eyes. They were still red… but the color of amethyst still shows… Her eyes, tempting… amethyst… She looked down to her lips. The next thing he knew he was going to kiss her... His head slowly descended. He must admit he was 3 inches taller than her. His mind was telling him to stop but his body insisted. He closed his eyes….
"Gomenasai…" He whispered. Just 1 centimeter apart till paradise….But a stupid curse hit Tomoyo which made her fall unconscious to the ground having a high fever….
To be continued….
A.n. Gomen…. This is all I could do and squeeze out of my mind. Please review!
