Angel of my Heart
Disclaimer: Card captor Sakura, Tsubasa, xxxholic belongs to Clamp.
A/N: Just yesterday 28 July, I had a really funny and interesting phone call with my best friend Kitt and a friend from Norway. They actually helped me with this fanfiction. So I want to thank them. Arigatou! And special thanks to my favourite editor Kitahoshi Hazel. I believe this fanfiction will be kawaii, 'cause it's a lot of sweet romance stuff in it. () I just love romance. Anyway, please review. They mean a lot to me.
Chapter 1
In a time past our own time, in a place past our own… somewhere, a land called Clamp exists. When you look down you can see a castle where a princess and a king live, but when you look up to the sky you may see an angel flying. She may just look like a small bird on long distance but when you look closer, you can see her white dress and her black hair moving with the wind. Her wings were elegantly spread around her while she glowed. When you look at distance it'll just look like sunlight. This angels name was Tomoyo. Tomoyo's amethyst eyes shone in delight when she flew across the land named Clamp. She was really curious how it was down there. Once upon a time, she lived there and not as a simple farmer girl. She was the princess of Japan and the princess of Clamp was her best friend."Sakura…" Tomoyo whispered sadly when she looked down at the castle were her best friend once lived. "I wonder how you are now. Are you okay?" Tomoyo whispered to herself. For two years ago Sakura had lost her memory. She was not really sure what had happened but all she knew that Sakura was somewhere else beyond this world and she had lost her precious memory. When this reached Tomoyo's ears it filled her with sorrow. She loved Sakura very much and somehow she had forgotten her. It hurt, and she couldn't really remember how many nights she had cried and prayed to God. Through she knew that Syaoran would bring Sakura's memory back. Syaoran was Sakura's big crush and Tomoyo did what she could to bring them together even if it hurt her so badly to see her precious friend be drawn away from her. She remembered her biggest goal was to make Sakura happy. "If you're happy, I'm happy too."
Tomoyo gave out a sigh. She took a last glance at the castle and turned around and flew. Slowly she crossed the sea. She wasn't in a hurry to go back to Heaven. While flying she gazed down and then she saw a ship. She recognised the boat because there was an angel sculpture on it. Usually boats had mermaids. This angel was beautiful and Tomoyo would always stop when she saw the ship just to take a longer glance at the sculpture. She had seen the boat a couple of times now. She had seen it twice when she was out for missions and once in her spare time. Every time she saw it, she saw a young man sitting by the sculpture. It was highly forbidden to approach humans without permission.
"Maybe just a little peek wouldn't hurt…" She thought with a smile. So she flew a little closer. He made her heart skip even if she didn't want to admit it. He had dark blue hair and wore a pair of glasses, also a pair of black pants and the wind made his coat flutter. It was his eyes that caught her attention for the first time. His midnight blue eyes were always staring distantly at the sea. They were a mystery to solve and she couldn't read anything what he was thinking. Usually she was very good when it came to reading somebody by gazing at their eyes. Suddenly she saw him smile. Silently she thought the smile was charming and made her blush.
"Eriol!!!" Eriol turned around but before turning to the voice that was yelling at him he gave a glance to his side where Tomoyo was. Tomoyo quickly flew back to the clouds and hide. For a brief second she thought he had seen her but then she saw him just turning to the voice. It was a man at the same age as Eriol and her. He had blonde hair was very small for his age.
"Eriol, it's going to be a storm." He said. Eriol looked up the sky. Tomoyo turned also her eyes to the clouds. Yes, indeed, it was going to be a storm. Kind of weird that she hadn't noticed it before, maybe there was something or someone distracting her. It had started to rain for quite a long time and yet Eriol stood outside.
"Oh, I haven't noticed it." He spoke. The other man just stared strangely at him.
"Ray, why are you so nervous?" Eriol smirked.
"Hey, it's going to be a storm!" He yelled. "Well, you better come in. The captain wants to speak with you. And you'll probably get sick if you stay here." The man called Ray said. Eriol just simply nodded. He started to walk in the ship leaving Tomoyo outside. Tomoyo just gave out a sigh. She saw the raindrops falling to the water but the raindrops didn't soak her. Luckily or sadly she was an angel, she couldn't feel it or touch it.
"Maybe I shall take off now. I've already stayed to long." She thought. Quickly she touched the crux around her neck. It was a gift from God when she arrived in Heaven. It was made in fine silver and in the middle of the crux was an amethyst shaped as a rose. The crux hung lightly around her neck. She always felt comforted when she touched it. Quickly she clasped her small hands and closed her eyes to send a quick prayer to God, to hope that He would ease this storm. Giving out a heavy sigh she was just going to turn away and fly when a thunder was heard. Tomoyo shuddered and looked up just to see lightning. The sea started to get violent. Big waves were forming suddenly and the clouds were dark and heavy. The small boat looked like it was going to tip over or crash. Tomoyo was concerned. No, she couldn't leave, not when it looked so dangerous for the boat. She saw the men shouting and screaming while they tried to get the sails down before they got torn by the wind. Eriol came out and looked straight forward. He saw the waves and it was bad. He wasn't even sure if they were going to make it. Suddenly a small girl about the age of 10 came out. She had just a small coat on and had tears in her eyes.
"Daddy!" Eriol turned around and saw her. He quickly approached her and hugged her.
"Gabriela, you shouldn't be out here." He softly spoke but still had a serious expression.
"I'm scared…"
"Ray!" Eriol shouted. The same man from before came up to him.
"Yes?"
"Bring Gabriela inside." Ray took the smaller girls hand.
"Uncle, is everything going to be fine?" She spoke. Ray smiled.
"Of course, my dear."
"Look out!!!" Someone shouted. It all happened to fast and Tomoyo's eyes widened. Before them were clip blocks and they were heading straight for it. There was no way to avoid the predictable.
"Oh my God…" a sailor uttered.
"Everyone, jump!" Eriol screamed. First the people just stared strangely at him or even ignored him, paralyzed by the blocks. But then one by one jumped into the sea. Eriol quickly rushed inside.
"Ray! Hold Gabriela and jump!" Thunder could be heard and the waves have out loud screams.
"Daddy…" the little girl nervously cried holding her little bunny tightly. Ray lifted the girl and ran out, the ship was now crashing. They just jumped when it crashed. Eriol jumped right after Ray and Gabriela. But a wooden plank hit Eriol's head before he jumped. Everything was crushed and cargo from the boat flew everywhere. Luckily it didn't hit the girl or the other sailors, just Eriol. Tomoyo horrified saw him sinking, he was already unconscious.
"What shall I do?" She thought. He was going to die if she didn't do anything. Without thinking she flew down and down into the water. It was dark and scary; she could hear the sailors scream but didn't see him. She looked around with the thought he was already lost. Suddenly she saw him. He was sinking quickly. She tried to touch him but failed.
"This is not good!" She thought desperately. Suddenly her necklace started to glow.

"This crux is filled with my powers. I trust you with it and you shall make miracles to the humans with it, my messenger." So had God spoken to her.
Quickly she took off her necklace and hung it around him. He started to glow. She tired to touch him this time and she actually could touch him! She grabbed him by his waist and let her wings work up to the surface. Eriol slowly opened his eyes, he was tired for some reason but then he saw this glowing girl, holding him. Her wings were spread around her while she desperately tried to reach the surface.
"An angel…" He thought before passing out again.
"Just a little more…" Tomoyo struggled. She looked down at him just to see that he might die. She reached surface but saw that he couldn't stay on the water anymore. Quickly she looked around and found no one around them. Distantly she could hear the sailors but it was too dark to see them. "I can't let you die…" She whispered. So she slid her arm around his neck and the other one around his waist, just to press him closer to her. Yes, she was going to fly with him. Her wings moved her up to the sky. They went higher and higher up into the clouds. There, she was guaranteed that no one could see them. Tomoyo flew cross the sea, and it was already starting to be a new day, she could see the sunrise. She was heading for Clamp. There, she knew people would take care of him. She spotted a beach and flew right for it. There she softly laid him on the sand. His glasses had fallen off and she wasn't sure if he was alive. He looked pale and his hands were cold. Tomoyo laid her hand on his chest just to check his heart beat.
"Thank you God!" She happily whispered with tears in her eyes when she could feel life in him. Suddenly Eriol started to cough up water. Her turned around and spit it out. Tiredly he laid his hand on his forehead just to feel the headache. He opened his eyes and saw the most beautiful girl in the world staring at him. She had the most beautiful eyes and hair black hair hung loosely around her, and she glowed!
"W-W-Who are you?" He whispered weakly. Tomoyo got scared and was about to fly away from him before he grabbed her hand.
"W-Wait, stay with me…" Eriol coughed. He was getting far too tired and slowly he closed his eyes, still holding Tomoyos hand. Tomoyo was shocked but yet relieved that he was alive. A small blush crept on her face, making her more adorable.
Suddenly she heard someone shouting and she turned around just to see a bunch of humans heading for the beach. Quickly she spread her wings once more and flew up high leaving Eriol on the beach.
"I'll see you again…Eriol." Tomoyo whispered and took the last glance at the man that had captured her heart without his knowledge…
