Chapter 6- The palace, Take two!
Tomoyo's POV
"You mean you were serious?" I asked a bit shocked. Evan....no, Eriol, sweat dropped. "No, I was lying in hopes of deceiving you so you would think highly of me and perhaps, begin praising me like a god." He said sarcastically. I blinked. "A simple 'yes' would've been a LOT better than the thing that you said before." I told him. "So, anyways, what ELSE are you keeping from me?" I asked curiously. "...I'm Clow Reed..." he stated. Haha, he's funny. Him? Clow Reed? FAT CHANCE! "Really? You seriously don't think that I'm Clow reed?" He asked. I shook my head while laughing, then I froze...how did he know that I didn't believe him? I didn't say it out loud. "Like I said, I'm Clow Reed..." He stated again. I Looked at him and blinked. What Is his point? "Oh My god! My point is, I'm Clow Reed, I CAN READ YOUR MIND!" He said a bit frustrated. I looked at him. "DON'T DO THAT! I Don't LIKE PEOPLE READING MY MIND!!!" I snapped at him. I glanced at him. I still don't get it though. How can HE be someone so significant, so mysterious, how can he be one of the few people that I looked up to? God, he just completely ruined my image of Clow Reed..."You realize that I'm his reincarnation, so I only have a few traits that may resemble Clow, but I'm not him....right?" He asked me. I glared at him. "YOU DID IT AGAIN! Stop it!!" I snapped. "Alright, alright, I get it...sheesh..." He sighed.
Eriol's POV
This Girl! God, I was just curious about what she was thinking and WHAT does she do? She snaps at me! Dang, this town is SO MEAN! First, they are knock out blue haired people who walk into closed stores during the night, and now, THIS girl, She snaps at reincarnations who can read people's minds! Man, what a great coincidence that both of those people just happened to be me...HMPF!( A/N: Gee, I wonder why the people do what they do, after all, its SO common. ^.^)
One week later...
"Tomoyo! Another order form the King!" Sakura announced. "WHAT is it THIS time?" Tomoyo asked a angrily. "He needs a cloak for his 'royal' hunt." Sakura stated. Tomoyo rolled her eyes. Royal hunt?! "What color? " She asked a bit disgusted. "Navy." "Alright..."
Tomoyo's POV
That night, I settled down in the back room to begin on the cloak. I picked out a roll of navy fabric, the ones made from the worst materials. You know, the kind that tears when you yank on it a little bit. I knew that hes not even going to look at it, so should I bother using good materials?
Eriol's POV
My wounds are practically healed now; even though I'm still resting on the upper level of the store, so I decided to try to sneak into the palace again. After all, the sooner I leave this town, the sooner I can go home...I guess that's a good thing. A picture of Tomoyo suddenly flashed through my mind. I guess my feelings for her had grown during this period of time when I lived with her. I began to notice that every little thing that she does, and it bothered me to know that its happening; that I'm getting too aware of what she's doing..but, she's just a peasant, I'm a prince, no matter what, we can't be together...Princes can only marry Princesses, that's how it's always been, and I guess that's how it will be forever...Besides, after my task, I'm going to have to leave anyway. No use in trying to start anything when its obvious that we can't be together in the end, besides that, who am I to say all of this, I mean, for all I know, this whole situation is probably one sided, yet, I had wished it wasn't so. I shook my head, why am I thinking of all of this? I'm suppose to be ready to sneak into the palace again...silly me.
Tomoyo's POV
*creak* My head shot up, what was that? I stopped what I was doing and listened to see if there were anymore noises. "........" Nothing...maybe I'm just hallucinating...*eek* I paused again and listened to my surroundings...*creak eek creak eek creakkkkkkkkkkkkk* I jumped off my seat and crept towards the origins of the sounds. I waved my arms around me, desperate to find some source of defense, just incase it was trouble...Why must the first thing I grab in times like this ALWAYS be paper? It doesn't do anything!!! By now, I was pretty much able to see the outline of objects in the dark, and saw someone creep towards the door. I gasped quietly and felt around for something...I felt something round...I grabbed it and threw it at the person. The person paused and turned around. "You know, if you want to stop burglars from coming here, you've GOT to change the objects u attack with...Paper wads aren't capable of doing anything!!" The person said. I sweat dropped. It was Eriol. I could feel my face burn up after his remark. I might not be able to see it quite well, but I could tell that he has that smirk on his face...you know, his smirk, the one that he always has after embarrassing me... I'm not going to let him laugh at me! I shall throw more paper wads at him, let him know the capabilities of paper wads! I waved my arms around, desperate to find those paper that I always manage to get during times of crisis- nada, nothing, zip! I couldn't find any paper! Getting angry, I grabbed the next thing I touched; a pencil, and threw it...WHY did I throw a pencil at him?! He caught it and laughed. "Getting better, pencils may be stronger than paper, but, it doesn't accomplish much neither." He said as he walked towards me.
Normal POV
"Oh, its YOU" Tomoyo said coldly, pretending she didn't know it was him. Eriol feigned a hurt expression, "You mean you didn't recognize my voice?" He asked "Your voice? Ha, your funny, your not special enough for me to remember how you sound like." Tomoyo said as she walked back into the back room of the shop. Eriol followed close behind. "Tomoyo Dear! You have wounded me!" He said dramatically. Tomoyo sweat dropped. "Right...." She replied as she sat down and continued to work on the king's order. "Oh well, Lovely chat we had, but I must venture out into the darkness now." Eriol said as he turned around. Tomoyo froze. "You're not leaving..." She said abruptly. " What do you mean by that?" Eriol asked curiously. "I know where you're going...you want to go into the palace again...you can't, I won't allow it..." Tomoyo said as she got up and turned around, facing Eriol. Eriol's eyes widen...'how did she know?' he asked himself. Then he looked at her. "Tomoyo, you know that I have to–" he began, but was cut off by her. "You just healed, you can't go...at least...not yet...besides, you might get caught again, wouldn't you like to have some back ups? I mean...just in case anything happens?" Tomoyo blurted. "Wow, I never knew how much you cared about me..." Eriol commented. Tomoyo's face turned a bit pink, but it was hardly noticeable. "Please...don't go...not tonight...wait till you've healed a bit more...and until...until you have one or two more people with you...i..i don't...Idon'twantyoutogethurtagain!" Tomoyo said in a rush. Eriol smirked. "Awww shucks(A/N: I've been using this phrase a lot lately. Lolz.) I feel loved." He said. Tomoyo's face turned a bit redder. "Don't think you're that special...I worry about everyone." She said as she sat down again. Eriol smiled and began to walk away. Tomoyo tensed up as he did that, 'is he going to listen to me?' She pondered. "Don't worry, I'm not going, well, at least not tonight." he said as he disappeared from sight. Tomoyo relaxed when he said that, then she shot up from her seat and ran after him. "ERIOL! You did it again!!!!( She meant this by that he was reading her mind =))" She screamed. Eriol smirked and turned around. "Shh! Tomoyo, people are still sleeping!" He said as he turned back around and began to laugh while walking back up to where her rest. At the top of the staircase, he shouted down in a whisper, "Sweet Dreams milady, and don't stay up too late!" Tomoyo turned a dark crimson shade, 'that Eriol!'
Next day
Tomoyo yawned for the thirtieth time that morning, and rubbed her eyes with her hands. She felt tired, after all, she DID stay up all night for that stupid cloak for the emperor. Sakura looked at her worriedly. "Tomoyo, it was just a cloak, it shouldn't have taken you more than two hours...why did it take you all night? Why did you prick her fingers too? You haven't done that since the first time you've sewn something!" She demanded. Tomoyo blushed. The truth was, the cloak really shouldn't have taken her the whole night, she was just a bit preoccupied. Thoughts of Eriol disturbed her the whole night. She didn't know why, but images of him and things that he said floated in her mind, dazing her out, which resulted in no sleep the whole night, AND little wounds from the needle. "Nothing Sakura, I was just a bit too tired..." She lied.
Eriol watched Tomoyo from the side and observed her actions. He was tempted to read her mind to find out why she hurt herself by accident, and finally, he gave in. He smirked as he realized what had happened. She fell in love with him. He couldn't believe it.
Eriol's POV
I felt a rush of happiness flow through my veins as I grinned stupidly. I don't care how retarded I probably looked at the moment, all I could think of was: TOMOYO LIKES ME TOO!! As fast as my happiness arrive, it disappeared at the same rate. The fact that I was a prince occurred to me again. I hung my head. I wonder what would happen if I told mom and dad that I fell in love with a peasant...they'd probably be furious...I shook my head. That's it Eriol! No more of this funny business you have a task to do here! You can't think of anything OFF TOPIC! That's it, I have decided, I shall not think about relationships right now anymore...I can't...there won't be a happy ending to them...
Normal POV
"You're still gonna go deliver the package to Ms. Ruranus?" Sakura asked worriedly. "Yeah, I have to." Tomoyo said smiling slightly. "No, Tomoyo! You stay here and rest! I'll go!" Sakura said reaching for the package. "Yeah, you should rest, I'll accompany her." Eriol volunteered as he opened the door for Sakura. Tomoyo smiled. "Alright..."
Market Place
"Comeon Eriol! This way! It's a shortcut!" Sakura said cheerfully as she turned. Eriol smiled and followed her. The trail she took led them into a nearby forest. "Are you sure, Sakura?" Eriol asked uneasily. "Yup, its right after this forest!" She said as she quickened her pace. After a few minutes, a gang came out and surrounded them. "Greetings Milad—" The leader of the gang spotted Eriol. "YOU!!" He shrieked pointing a finger at Eriol. Eriol smiled. "Good Day to you too! Didn't your mom ever tell you? Its not polite to point." "GET HIM!!!" The leader screamed. "Err..." Sakura began as the gang charged at them. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Eriol said, pushing Sakura aside. Sakura shrugged and stood by a tree. She watched as Eriol struggled in the battle, and winced a couple of times, not for the gang, but for Eriol, he was getting beaten up pretty badly. Eriol frowned and called for a time out. The leader raised a brow. "Not fair! You guys! You practiced!!! And...YOU GOT BETTER!!!" Eriol exclaimed, pouting a bit. The leader sweatdropped. "Well, did you expect that practicing will make us worse?" He asked Eriol. Eriol shook his head. "No, I was hoping that it could've, but since it didn't, I can tell you right now, that, I am VERY dissapointed!" "Eriol...You need help?" Sakura asked. Eriol smiled. "Sure!! Lets scare them away with our talents!!!!" Eriol suggested. Sakura raised a brow. 'MAGIC!!! Lets put their pants on fire on the count of three?!' Eriol said telepathically to Sakura. Sakura nodded happily. "Alright now, one...two...THREE!!!!!" Eriol screamed. The gang stared at Eriol and Sakura. What were they trying to do? All they were doing was standing there smirking at them. Then, they began to smell something funky. They sniffed the air around them. No, wait...it was more like the smell of something burning...They all looked down at each other...and their eyes slowly widen. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! FIREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" They screamed as they ran around like idiots trying to put out their pants.
A/N: Alright...fine...This chapter didn't really have much going on...again......sorrrryyy!!! But I hope that the next one will. =) R+R plz.
