At the End

Mizutenshiai

Chapter 6

Kimlowon's Kingdom

"WHAT?!!!!" Roared the king at his servants and soldiers. "THERE WERE FIVE OF YOU, AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN CAPTURE ONE MEASLY THIEF?!! What kind of idiots are you!?" He demanded. The servants winced at the volume of his voice. Their king was always yelling, even if you were innocent and he knew it, he would still yell at you. Why he yelled so much, they would never know, but assumptions? There were quite a few.

1) He enjoyed it

2) The pressure of ruling is finally getting to him, and hopefully, one of his many heirs will inherit the throne...soon, very soon.

3) Hes very mean

and lastly,

4) He has a HORRIBLE temper.

"What was the thief trying to steal?" He asked a bit more calmly now. "W-w-we don -don -don't know..." one soldier replied nervously. "WHAT KIND OF SOLDIER ARE YOU?!!! Not only can you not capture that thief, but you don't even know his motive!" He yelled in outrage.

"Uh..my majesty..." A soldier spoke up. "WHAT?!" He hissed. "We have some clues on him..." He revealed. "Well then, WHAT exactly are you waiting for?!!! Make a wanted poster and post them everywhere!"

Market place

"Phew, thats the last of them!" A very tired guard said, relieved that he had finally posted the last of the wanted posters that were presented by the king. Soon a crowd of people surrounded the noticed, and chatted wildly amongst themselves.

"Tomoyo! Lets go over there and look! The king just posted a new message!" Sakura spoke excitedly. Tomoyo smiled and let Sakura drag her over. Pushing aside others, they finally reached the poster. It read:

WANTED:

A male around the height of five feet nine to five feet ten.

This male has recently gained many bruises and cuts.

Knows martial arts, but isn't very good at it.

Last seen: wearing black.

Reward: $100 dollars

Tomoyo stared at the poster suspiciously. Why did this description sound So familiar? "Tomoyo! Come on, lets go back to the shop. No one is watching it. Tomoyo nodded, and let herself, once again get dragged by Sakura.

Back room of Tomoyo's shop

"Evan!" Tomoyo called out. "Yes?" Eriol said as he sat up. "FOOD!" She replied cheerfully as she set down a bowl of soup in front of him. "Thank you." Eriol said smiling, as he picked it up and began drinking it.

Tomoyo's POV

I sat down after I handed Evan his soup. Why am I being so nice to him? I glanced at him, maybe its because I feel sorry for him. After all, he WAS hurt...but how? I froze, the wanted notice, the description! Evan fits it...could he be the one that the king wants? And if he is, why? I looked at Evan again and found him looking at me in a weird way. "Yes?" I asked him. "I'm done!" He said cheerfully as he stuck out the empty bowl towards me.

Normal POV

Tomoyo blinked. "Go wash it yourself!" She said after two minutes. Eriol pouted. "B-b-but...I'm...hurt?" He said hoping to gain pity. "And your point is..?" Tomoyo asked raising a brow. "I'll wash it." He said dejectedly. "Good."

Ten Minutes later

Tomoyo's POV

I can help but wonder...who was the king talking about? Was it Evan? And then, I got an idea.

Normal POV

"Eh, Evan, would you like to go to the market place with me?" Tomoyo asked Eriol. Eriol smiled. "Sure."

Outside

"Tomoyo, I want to thank you for not letting anyone know that I was hurt..." Eriol told Tomoyo. "No problem, but, how are you feeling?" Tomoyo asked. "Fine! Never been better!" Eriol said smirking. Tomoyo raised a questioning brow as she poked his chest. He winced in pain. "Yeah, okay..." Tomoyo said as she giggled at his actions.

Market Place

"Hey, Eriol, look, it's a notice!" Tomoyo said pretending she didn't know. "Lets go look." She suggested.

" WANTED:

A male around the height of five feet nine to five feet ten.

This male has recently gained many bruises and cuts.

Knows martial arts, but isn't very good at it.

Last seen: wearing black.

Reward: $100 dollars"

Tomoyo read aloud.

Eriol's POV

Shoot! They have a description of me! I can't let them catch me! I have to leave!

Normal POV

Tomoyo looked at Eriol after she finished reading the notice. 'Hmmn, his facial expression shows a mixture of determination and also a worried expression...' She thought as she examined his face. Then, Eriol bent down. "T-Tomoyo..." He groaned. Tomoyo's eyes widen. "Yes?!!" She asked worriedly. "My stomach...it hurts...alot..." He faked. "Oh, no, come-on, lets go back to the shop!" Tomoyo said as she helped him up and began to walk home with him.

Alleyway

"Come on, this is the shortest way home...we'll be there in no time." Tomoyo said as she stepped into a deserted alleyway.

Three guys stepped out, surrounding them. "Hey..." the leader said to Tomoyo. Tomoyo glared at them. "What do you want?!" She demanded. "How about...you?" He said smirking. Tomoyo rolled her eyes in disgust. "Listen! I don't have time for your nonsense. Hes hurt, I have to bring him home! Get out of my way!" She hissed. He faked a hurt expression. "What about me?! I'm hurt too! After you left me heart broken last time in the bar." He said in a dramatic way. Tomoyo raised a brow. "What are you talking about?!" She asked, obviously annoyed. The leader blinked. "Oh, Right, that wasn't you. My bad." Tomoyo and Eriol sweat dropped. " But it doesn't matter. I want you, and I always get what I want." He said slyly. 'Oh shoot...Tomoyo is in trouble. What have I done?' Eriol thought frantically. "Sorry to disappoint you, but you aren't going to succeed this time." Tomoyo said as she tried to walk away from them, but failed. Another guy blocked her path. "Nuh ah ah.." He said shaking his finger at her.

The leader walked over to Tomoyo and glared at her. "Listen, no one has ever tried to walk away after I have decided what I wanted, and you aren't either!" He growled as he dived towards her. Tomoyo's eyes widen as he did so, but the leader never got close to her, for the moment that he moved, Eriol stopped him. Eriol had kicked the guy off. "Stand behind me, and be careful." Eriol warned her. Tomoyo nodded.

Tomoyo's POV

I watched as Evan fended off all three guys. I don't know why, but as he fought them, I had a warm feeling all over. When I realized that he was fighting to protect me, my heart did a flip...what does this signify? Am I beginning to develop feelings for him? Didn't he say that he was hurt? He certainly doesn't look hurt right now.

Eriol's POV

After I finished fighting off the last guy, I turned around and looked at Tomoyo. "You know how to fight?" She asked me in disbelief. "Yeah" I responded. "Where did you learn to fight so well?" She asked me. "Well..." I laughed. "No, I'm not very good at fighting, but compared to these guys, I rule!" I said laughing.

Normal POV

Then, Tomoyo narrowed her eyes. "Who are you?" Eriol's eye widen a bit. 'How did the conversation come to this question?' He thought as he answered her. "Evan Higgins." "How did you get hurt?" "I fell off a ladder. " "Don't lie." Tomoyo said as she glared at him. "You're the guy that the king wants...aren't you?" She asked him. Eriol gulped. "No–" Eriol started. "I said, DON'T lie! Tell me the truth, who are you? What your purpose here, why does the king want you?!" Tomoyo demanded. Eriol gulped.

Eriols's POV

I knew I couldn't keep my identity secret for long...But, should I tell her? Can she be trusted? Well, I guess so. She was nice enough to provide me with shelter...Even thought I had to work like I never did before, but its worth it, at least I get to see her everyday... I took a deep breathe. Might as well tell her everything. Living a lie isn't all that fun.

Normal POV

"Alright, fine. I'll tell you. My name is Eriol Higriwasia. I'm a Prince, and next to throne of the Higriwasia kingdom. I am here on a mission that I must complete in order to inherit the throne." Eriol said all in one breathe. Tomoyo blinked. Her lips began shaking and soon, she bursted out laughing.

Eriol's POV

I raised a brow. She foudnt he truth to my identity hilarious...And here i was thinking that there might be a slight possiblilty that she might be normal...Her ourbreak of laughter just proved to me that she is one of the weirdest girl i've ever met..., a freakishly gorgeous, yet weird girl...
