Chapter 5
Eriol's POV~
Steady...Steady, yeah, thats it Eriol, steady...Well, actually, its quite hard to be steady when I'm trying to walk down the stairs with a huge box in front of me. I mean, I CAN'T EVEN SEE WHERE I"M GOING!!! BUT, I have to do this...because I promise that I'll do ANYTHING, for shelter...How pathetic am I? I mean, I AM the Prince of the Hiragizawa Kingdom...yet, I'm right here, in this little town, working like slave for this girl. Holding this, carrying this, since when did I go from being a prince to being a maid? Hmpf!
Normal POV~
"Come on, move it! We havent got all day!" Tomoyo rushed. Eriol rolled his eyes. "I'm trying, but its utterly impossible due to the fact that I CAN'T EVEN SEE WHERE I'M GOING!!" Eriol complained. "Well, thats too bad for you. Live with it." Tomoyo responded. Eriol growled, but did as he was told. He didn't say one word after what she said.
Market Place*
Eriol walked behind Tomoyo with a bored expression on his face. His eyes wandered around, until it landed on a couple standing in the marketplace, next to a fish stand. Sakura and Syaoran. 'My, my. How cute they look together. Hmmn, I wonder how they feel about the whole I am clow reed's reincarnation thing...' Eriol thought as a smirk rose to his face. As he was thinking, he didn't realize where he was headed, and accidentally bumped into something, well, actually, someone. His eyes widen with terror when he discovered who it was. Tomoyo Daidouji. He winced ahead of time, knowing that he was certainly going to get yelled at for his actions, yet, it didn't come. In fact, Tomoyo was too dazed off staring at Syaoran and Sakura with stars in her eyes to realize he bumped into her. Eriol watched her with an amused expression on his face. She looked kind of cute with that starry eye look in her eyes. After what seemed like forever, she spoke. "Don't they make the cutest couple in the world?!!" Eriol nodded. "Well, anyway, come on, lets go. We're late." She said as the stars disappeared from her eyes and she marched forward. Confused, Eriol followed her pondering about what just happened back there.
Store~
"Alright, place it right here, and then you can...Shoot!" Tomoyo cut her self off. Eriol stared at her. How weird was she? "Come on, get up. You're accompanying me on the last thing in my agenda for today." She said as she ran into the back room. Eriol stared at the back room. Should he go in?
*CLANK* It didn't sound very safe...
*BOOM*... * BANG* *BING*..*CLING*... scratch that. Its dangerous!. Eriol winced at the horrifying sounds coming from the room. Finally, Tomoyo came out. Her clothes were covered with dust during the process of finding the package that was now in Eriol's hands. She brushed off the dust nonchalantly and proceeded in leaving the store.
Ten minutes later*
"Where exactly are we going?" Eriol asked out of curiosity. "To deliver the package." "To where?" "Here!" Tomoyo responded to Eriol's question as she stopped abruptly. Eriol looked up. 'Hey, this looks like a castle!' He thought happily. He gazed at the structure. 'Big, grey, brick walls, soldiers guarding the door, a wooden door, turrets, shafts, towers... it IS a castle!' Eriol thought in triumph.
Eriols's POV*
Why is she going into the castle? Could she be preparing clothes for the king? Does this mean, I can gain access into this place with the excuse of saying: I'm delivering clothes? HEY! It just might work! I might be able to complete my task sooner than I thought! i smirked and looked around for Tomoyo, but to my surprise, she was no where in site. I ran up to the door, and was about to enter when...
Normal POV*
"What is your business here?" A soldier asked Eriol. Eriol blinked. "Um, uh, ah, er, erm, um...." Was Eriols' brilliant answer. "Hes my assistant." A voice explained to them. Eriol looked to see who said that. Tomoyo. "Yea! What she said!" He told the soldiers as he scurried inside.
King's Study room*
"Oh, yes, Tomoyo. I've seen your latest creation for me. It's a truly wonder shirt–" The king started, when one of his servants whispered something into his ear. "Huh, what Pedro? Oh, alright, I understand..." The king commented, as he proceeded to continue. "Ah, yes, I mean, robe. The shade of this...robe, is a truly magnificent color. It brings out the royalty in me. I like it alot. As for the designs, it is very intricate and very beautiful. All in one, I love it. Thank you. I will be sending another order out for you to complete shortly." the king said, and with this, he left the room.
Outside the castle~
Tomoyo giggled, and soon the giggling lead to laughing. Eriol raised a brow. There was definitely something absurd about this girl in front of him. "He..He said the color was magnificent!!!! and the designs were beautiful!!" She said laughing, at the same time, suffocating due to the lack of air she received from laughing too much. Eriol gave her a questioning look. "Thats a compliment, nothing funny about it." Eriol commented. "No, no, no, you don't understand. I gave him a purple robe, which was, by the way, VERY gruesome in color. And the intricate designs that he spoke of, were cute little puppies by the collar!" Tomoyo explained. Eriol laughed as he imagined the king wearing it. "Don't you think he will get mad when he sees it?" Eriol asked. "No, I doubt that he will even look at it. Judging by what he said today, I doubt he even glanced at it. I mean, how can he mistaken the robe for a shirt? And that gruesome shade of purple: magnificent?!! I'll let you sit on my head if he even touches it." Tomoyo said. "But isn't that a waste of time for you? I mean, you're making clothes for a person who doesn't even look at your work." Eriol asked a little confused. "Well, I don't really mind, I'll consider it charity." Tomoyo said as they soon walked into the market place.
"Ms. Techtra!" Tomoyo greeted as she entered a cloth store (a store that sells cloth.=D). "Hi Tomoyo. I haven't seen you for a long time." Ms. Techtra, a tall lady who was around the age of 50, with dark, short hair. "Ah, who is this? A friend of yours?" Ms. Techtra asked pointing at Eriol. "Friend? No. Just ignore him." Tomoyo explained. "Gee, so nice to know that I'm wanted..." Eriol muttered under his breath. "What did you say?" Tomoyo asked with a threatening tone. "I said, everyone was very welcoming." Eriol said with a fake smile. "Yeah, I thought so." Tomoyo said as she proceeded with a conversation with Ms. Techtra. For the hour that they spent there, Eriol just stood behind Tomoyo with an irritated look on his face. Most of the time, he had hoped that Tomoyo somehow magically had eyes on the back of her head, and saw how bored he was and decided, 'hey, Eriol, why don't you leave first?' But, nope, it didn't happen.
Outside, on the way home~
"So, who was that lady?" Eriol asked curiously at why Tomoyo would spend an hour talking to a lady who was around thirty years older than her. "Well, I met her when I was younger, around ten years old...I bumped into her and knocked down her oranges. She was very nice, and didn't get mad at me for bruising her oranges. She was also my very first customer, and she gives me discounts on the fabrics that I buy from her store. Shes a very nice lady." Tomoyo explained to him. "Oh..." Eriol responded with interest.
That night~
A person dressed in black ran from room to room in the Kinomoto's house to check if anyone was awake, and fortunately for the person, no one was. Creeping quietly, the person left the house. Once outside, the person softly jumped onto the roof, and ran from roof to roof in the direction of the castle.
Eriol's POV*
As soon as I reached my destination, the palace, I used my magic to create a diversion. You might ask me why I didn't just use my magic to get in, the answer is simple. I wanted to complete this task using a little magic as possible, besides that, I didn't want to risk it if there was someone in this castle who knew magic. The diversion that I created was a person lurking behind the trees, and it worked because the soldiers guarding the door both left to investigate. I slipped inside quickly and began my search. I ran along the shadows of the castle until I reached the king's Study Room. This seemed like a perfect place to put the map. I crept inside and began to search. I searched high and low for the map, but I couldn't find it. Where could the king have placed it? Disappointed that I wasn't able to find the map in the room, I left the room and went in search of another room to look for, when I saw some guard patrolling the palace.
Afraid that they might see me, I ran back into the study room. BIG mistake. Due to my clumsiness, I accidentally knocked over a vase in the room when I ran inside of it. I cursed under my breath as it shattered into piece. Opening the window, I was about to leave, when the doors opened, and the soldiers came in. They charged for me with great speed. I jumped off the window sill and proceeded in fighting them. At the end, my lack of skill in fighting got the best of me. It wasn't that I couldn't fight, its just that I wasn't very good in it. My skills, when compared with an average warrior, isn't really that much better. Anyway, during the fight, I was able to hurt them, but the damage that they did to me was a lot greater. I now had bruises here, cuts there, and a black eye. Cursing under my breath again, I ran for the window, jumped out, and escaped the palace. Limping as fast as I can, I reached the tailor shop. Not wanting anyone to see me like this, I went into the shop instead of the house.
Tomoyo's POV*
I was humming a song when I heard something come in. Is it a thief? I gulped as I crept over to the doorway. I peered out of it and slapped myself when all that is was darkness. There wasn't any light out there.
It was late at night, and I was sleeping, but then I remembered an order that was due tomorrow and had to drag myself down to the shop. I lit a candle and hid in the back room to finish the sewing. And then I heard the noise from outside, which leads me back to the beginning.
I crept back to my candle and brought it to the door. Hmmn, a weapon might come handy right now...I looked around. Theres a broom, heck, better than nothing. I grabbed the broom with my other free hand and left the back room. Holding the broom close to me, I spoke. "Who's there?!!!" No response. Could I be hallucinating?
Normal POV*
Eriol held his breathe. He didn't want Tomoyo to see him tonight, at least not bloody and bruised. 'Please don't shine the light in my direction...' He prayed, and fortunately, his prays were answered because Tomoyo turned and headed for the back room. Eriol let out a sigh. Another big mistake of his night. Tomoyo turned around abruptly and shone the light in Eriol's direction. She gasped. "Who are you?!" She demanded. Eriol didn't answer her, but merely stared at Tomoyo. Getting scared, Tomoyo wacked the broom on Eriol. He let out a cry of pain and collapse on the floor.
An Hour later~
Eriol's POV*
I had a headache the size of Mt. Everest. I slowly opened my eyes, and was almost blinded by light. It might be a small candle, but to someone who just woke up, there was enough light to last them a lifetime. I looked around and saw Tomoyo humming a soft song while sewing. She had a pretty good voice. I listened as the tune flowed softy from her mouth, and soon the humming turned into words...
kaze no naka kami o nabikase
kakete yuku hane no arukutsu de
futari nara itsumo no
machi mo atarashii kao o miseru
I smiled. "You have a very beautiful voice." I commented
Normal POV*
"You have a very beautiful voice." Tomoyo looked up. "EVAN!" She greeted with worried eyes. "Where did you go? Why are you like this? WHo beat you up? WHY are you dressed in black?" She asked him. Eriol blinked, then smiled. "What a warm welcome." He said laughing, but his laughing soon turned to moans. He was so wounded that even laughing hurt him. Tomoyo helped him sit up, and began unwrapping the bandages that she had placed on him. Throwing them away, she took out a bucket filled with water, and a piece of cloth. Carefully, she cleaned the wounds again. "I once learned that someone with cuts should have their wounds cleaned frequently to prevent contamination of bacteria." Tomoyo explained to him as she cleaned the wounds.
Eriol's POV*
I watched as Tomoyo cleaned my wounds. She looked extravagant tonight...or did she look like that everyday? The dim light produced by the candle surrounded her with a warmth that was undescribable. Am I falling for her? I shook my head...I'm a prince. Princes should marry Princesses only...thats the rule...Tomoyo is just a peasant, I can't like her.
Normal POV*
But then again, does her background really matter? I mean, I like her, not her family, nor background, so does it really matter whether she is a princess or not? WHo ever created that stupid rule anyway: Princes must always marry Princesses. Hmpf!
A/N: Okay, this was a dumb chapter. I didnt like it. Did it put you to sleep? Well, anyway, R+R plz...even tho it wasn't a very good chappie....
