Episode 10: Tokyo's Heros

"If you touch her one single finger, I'll kill you!" Eriol looked serious looking at the prince with impressed Empress behind. The prince looked at him. His eyes narrowed and stared deeper at him.

He opened his paper fan and blew it to his face, "Interesting. I haven't even battled with a guy like you, the son of the great General of Tokyo." He positioned himself and ready with his sharp paper fan, "Let's settle this."

"Terada-san?" Tomoyo said from behind but Eriol just started attacking. The sounds of their sharp hitting swords were heard. She looked at his fight and wonders: has anyone ever protect her just because she is her not a princess?

Sakura was thrown away that Shaoran immediately blew a dozen of soldiers, "Sakura." He protected her, "Are you all right?" Sakura stood up and held up her bells above her hands, "Don't worry, I am as strong as you." He sweat dropped and turned to scream at her: "Stop saying that."

"Why?" She asked back and hit the soldiers' head with her bells without even looking. Shaoran gasped his grips, kicking the soldiers who were trying to hit him from behind, "I am supposed to protect you." Sakura turned around that the bells hit everyone away. She was giggling, "I know! You don't have to say it. I am here..." She jumped up and threw the two bells that became billions in just a blink of eye, "To help Tokyo!" She landed with a wink.

Shaoran hehed looking away, "Remind me to kiss you when the war's over." He ran forward to fight the others. Sakura stopped and she had a blush. She snapped, "Why are you talking about here?" She followed from behind, annoyed.

Eriol and the prince were battling fiercely as empress Tomoyo watched from behind. Eriol was serious, he never so serious battling with his enemies. He was protecting a different blood for the first time. He wondered why.

Eriol's POV

Why do I feel I need to protect this empress? Is it because she is an empress? I was enraged fighting with this prince. Is it for her? Empress Tomoyo? I don't really admit a lady like would be an empress. She does have a kind heart, beautiful and innocent appearance. The sounds of the encounter of the prince's paper fan and my sword were heard as the guards watched. The other princesses were watching worriedly. I was hit on my head that blood was streaming down my chin. I wiped it off looking deadly at him. I never battled someone as good as me. I stood up and collected in some auras from the surrounding. It was powerful that the wind became strong. I am not sure why am I so protective. I am usually protective towards my only family and only wish to protect Sakura. She may look dirty once but I love her heart.

"Eriol-san!" I heard Tomoya's scream that encourage me to fight more. I panted with sweat drops streaming down my forehead when the prince fell down. I attacked him vigorously without thinking.

Tomoyo's POV

I watched Terada Eriol battling. He looked like he was protecting me. Has anyone done that just for me? Even though at first he looked like he didn't accepted me, he actually did. I watched him battling serious and my heart started beating. I didn't aware he was different from all the men I know all my life, especially when I am ordered to marry a man. It was the Royalty Rule way, Empresses must be married before 20. I didn't care about marriage. Wait a minute... why am I thinking about marriage at this time. I heard the sounds of sharp weapons from them and gasped when I saw blood streaming down his chin. I saw him wiped it off giving the prince a death glare. It was scary but somehow I felt it was warm. He looked happy fighting with someone as good as him. He stood up and collected in auras that a powerful wind started. I held on my long hair so it won't block my sight. My heart started beating faster looking at him. He looked so protective... the man that I wished to be with forever... I bit my lips with sweat drops and screamed, "Eriol-san!"

He snapped when he heard me. I think he did and he started to fight more. He then panted with sweat drops as the prince fell down. He attacked him crazily.

Sakura puffed in chibi on the corner, "How many are they anyway?" Shaoran had veins popping out with a huge head, "Why are you getting a rest?" She had narrowed eyes, "I have been fighting for hours now, don't you know that?" Shaoran held on his forehead, "Is this Sakura that I raised?" She snapped and screamed in a reaction, "What's that supposed to mean?" She blew a dozen as her anger. Shaoran had a wide grin. He was actually bored.

The prince fell down hurt and scared but Eriol seemed to want more. He stepped towards that he shrieked backwards with fear. The wind was still strong. "Eriol-san!" Tomoyo ran from behind and held on his arm; "It's alright now!" Eriol snapped and looked down to Tomoyo, who was blushing red.

"Retreat... retreat..." The prince whined as his guards lifted him up and others released the other princesses. All the Mongolians retreated, hoping they won't come back again. Eriol and Tomoyo watched them run away like weak chickens. Shaoran and Sakura looked from the gate with dots.

Tomoyo smiled looking down and there was still the blush. She took a handkerchief from her pocket still uncomfortable under his stare. She moved up to him and wiped off the blood on his chin and forehead. "Eriol... you did great..." She looked sweet and he was still staring at her. "You looked handsome..." She stopped wiping looking directly to his eyes. There was still a blush. She moved up nearer to him and their lips met. Eriol's eyes widened.

Shaoran had his jaw dropped down shocked, he could see clearly. Sakura saw this but not clearly and leaned her arms on Shaoran's head with her jaw dropped down too. It was minutes until they stopped kissing.

"Thank you, Eriol..." Tomoyo smiled nicely and looked up at him again, "Thank you..." Eriol started boiling and there was steam popping out from his head that she gasped. Shaoran and Sakura crashed down. Sakura revived and showed him her fist, "What do you mean by 'Eriol likes me'?" Shaoran had dotted eyes just below her and he blinked. She pointed at the two couple, under the sunset, "Don't you see they are soul mates?"

Eriol and Tomoyo gasped and turned to look at them, "What the hell are you taking about?" They were blushing red that Shaoran and Sakura were going away with tiptoe. "Don't go away from us!"

They were standing the Palace hall seriously except Sakura, who was looking around innocently. Terada, his wife and Shaoran shared the same sweat drop. Shaoran hit Sakura's that a bump was produced. She pouted holding her head.

"To Terada Eriol," An old man wearing Chinese cloak, taller than Eriol looked at him, "I, as the Emperor of Tokyo and father of Empress Tomoyo, would like to show you our gratitude of saving my princesses from danger." Tomoyo and her sisters stood beside the father with a grin.

"Your gratitude is mine, your highness," Eriol bowed and stood up again, "But I would like to protest why do you have to force the Empress to train?" "Eriol-kun!" Terada called from behind, scolding. "Empress Tomoyo is just a princess. She shouldn't have to train and pass by sweats and pain." He looked caring and the Emperor stared him. He then puffed out loud, laughing. He patted his back, as he had dots, "I like you boy, I do."

"Eh?" He questioned and the Emperor pointed at Tomoyo nicely, "Would you like to marry my Tomoyo?" They stared at each other and started boiling. "Otoo-sama!" She whined. The Emperor started laughing again, "That shows that you two have a thing towards each other."

"A thing?" Both Shaoran and Sakura repeated. Terada and his wife shared the same sweat drop, "That's the result of living in a Tomb for your whole life."

The Emperor looked out the balcony as the citizens were celebrating. He raised up his arms and pointed Shaoran, Sakura, Eriol and Tomoyo, "These are our Tokyo Heros!" They cheered louder. "Hail Empress Tomoyo!" They all looked at the pretty silver haired.

Sakura was sitting beside Shaoran obviously looking face to face at the Tomoyo, "Are you going marry Eriol?" Tomoyo blushed and nodded, "My father decided so I agreed." Sakura shut her mouth, "Wow... I am so impressed that he allowed." She looked at her, "What do you mean?" Sakura giggled, "because Eriol is just peasant... and so I thought the royalty doesn't except peasants..."

Tomoyo smiled, "My mother was a peasant and she knew your father..." Sakura snapped, "She does?" She nodded and looked at her seriously, "She even knows the story between your parents." Shaoran looked at her, "Sakura?"

"Is she around?" Sakura slammed the table. She nodded, "She's still alive and healthy." "Can I talk to her?" Sakura looked excited and impatient. Tomoyo nodded, "She's in the palace." Before Sakura ran off, Shaoran grabbed her arm. "Sakura?"

Sakura looked at Shaoran, "Shaoran, I need to know... I need to know the story... Please... let me go..." There were tears in her eyes. Shaoran's eyes trembled and nodded, "I'll go with you." Sakura smiled, "Shaoran..."

Sakura opened a room's door wide and saw a red short-haired lady on the dinning table. She looked up at Sakura and Shaoran. A grin slashed on her face, "I was expecting you, Kinomoto Sakura. I am Empress Sonomi..." She stood up, "I am Tomoyo's mother and your mother's cousin..."

Sakura looked shocked and an image of her mother and Sonomi appeared in her mind.
