Chapter 3

Eriol raked his midnight hair back as he kept gazing into the sketch. He had now lost track of time, but that didn't matter, all he wanted was to find the maiden. Clues. Where should he even start? The maiden's sketch only showed him her figure and a familiarity so profound that Eriol cursed himself for not being able to pinpoint the right match.

Frustrated, the gentleman finally stood up, to stand himself before the huge windows. Outside was the relaxing view of the garden, which he must admit that Nakuru had taken great care of. Eriol sighed before closing his eyes to massage his temples. He tried to recall the last dream in which he saw the maiden, but that image was too blurry to even bring any clues for his aid.

Suddenly the sound of raindrops began to echo inside as Eriol realized that the rain had decided to pour. Smiling for that soothing sound, he began to concentrate once again on his task. He wasn't giving up that easily. His heart wouldn't allow it.

Slowly and gradually the sound of nature began to spread as a beautiful voice sang along in his mind. It was the maiden's voice and how angelic it sounded. So familiar and so relaxing. The song was sung in such perfection that it brought to him a certain anxiety he couldn't explain.

Eriol quickly reopened his eyes and walked back to the maiden's sketch. Once again he gazed at her amethyst eyes, sending his heart to beat faster. How could she be so cruel to taunt him? This was torture and yet an obstacle that Eriol was determined to pass.

The voice inside his head began to sing again, making the gentleman to gaze down at her red rose lips. An unknown tinge pressed against his own lips as a image played itself inside his mind. The maiden kissing her lover away before he left. That kiss felt warm and blissful.

Eriol slowly touched his lips and felt the same kiss before, 2 years ago, which he had never forgotten.

The same goodbye kiss. The same sensation. The sea full of promises.

Eriol's eyes opened wide to the dawning truth as he quickly picked up a pencil and began to sketch an image on top of the maiden's picture. This time Eriol was in control. Fully aware what he was drawing and knowing what to expect when he was done.

"I found you my love." A smile emerging on his lips.

Nakuru was in the kitchen backing a strawberry cake that she knew her master would appreciate. Although Spinel preferred something else, he had given up in convincing the lady to change her mind. Now the feline sat himself in the living room reading his book like always.

Putting the cake into the oven, Nakuru sighed in satisfaction before hanging the apron away and exiting the kitchen. She joined Spinel in the living room when Eriol hurriedly exited the library.

"Finally." Spinel announced.

"Have you deciphered the maiden's identity?" Nakuru questioned joyfully.

Eriol grabbed his jacket from the hanger before answering. "Yes I did."

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Nakuru inquired knowingly.

Eriol sighed, "I should have listened to you 2 years ago, but you must understand my selfish feelings back then."

"I forgive you master. Now go. She has waited long enough."

"Thank you." The gentleman spoke with a smile before darting outside.

"Wait master! Where are you going?" Spinel called out in confusion, but he was out of reach.

Nakuru smiled in contentment before humming a little song and joyfully skipping away towards the kitchen. Spinel sat alone in total confusion while staring towards the open door where his master had hurriedly exited and then towards the kitchen, where Nakuru left without making the situation clear.

Frowning, Spinel decided to solve his own curiosity by checking the paper Eriol had been looking at for the past few hours. Entering the vast library, the feline slowly settled himself on top of the wooden desk to find the paper. There he gazed upon the maiden and another lady that had been drawn on top of the first sketch.

Eriol had drawn another face, which was slightly more round and innocent. The lips, the eyes, the long neck, were all the same. The hair had more bangs, other then that both ladies seemed extremely similar.

A smiled appeared upon Spinel at his new mistress, Tomoyo Daidouji.
