Angelic Destiny
Three
When they reached the doors of the Great Hall, someone, probably something magical and invisible, opened the double doors. Music blasted from everywhere. Tomoyo could hear the angels in the choir singing. It was very grand, but to Tomoyo, it was nothing, for she was nervous about her meeting with God.
"What should I do?" Tomoyo whispered urgently to Sakura.
"Just follow me." Sakura whispered.
As they neared the throne set at the end of the room, Tomoyo got more and more nervous. She was sweating all over. To her, God was one who was very gigantic and grand, but here, God was the size of a normal angel in Heaven and with a slight glow about him, so were all the angels.
Tomoyo observed God under her hair. (a/n: Tomoyo is looking down as she was walking.) He was a guy with a head full of chestnut hair, serious amber eyes...though he seemed cold and distant when he looked at his subjects, his face softened as he looked at Sakura. (a/n: Now, now, now. Who do you think he is?)
"So, Sakura, I see that you are back."
"Yes, godfather."
"Godfather?" Tomoyo thought.
"I have brought you Tomoyo, the girl whom you wanted to see. Now," Sakura said, looking at her godfather sternly, "do not bully Tomoyo!"
"Yes, I will NOT bully Tomoyo." God laughed out loud. "She is after all very important to us,"
"Good. And also, good afternoon, godfather." Sakura greeted God finally as she curtsied.
"Good...afternoon, er...Sir," Tomoyo stammered a reply while curtsying.
"Good afternoon, dears. Dispense with formalities."
"Godfather, can I go see Syaoran now?" Sakura asked as her face lit up at the prospect of seeing him again.
"No. Later." God was looking sternly at Sakura.
"Oh yeah..."
"As I was about to announce something before my dear goddaughter interrupted me, I would like Sakura to take Tomoyo as her charge, if that is possible. Will you, Sakura?"
"I would love to!" Sakura exclaimed as she took Tomoyo's hands and spun her around.
"However," He interrupted. "Tomoyo has to go through her initiation first before you can take her back to her rooms tonight. Sakura, I assume that you have forgotten that?"
"Oh yeah...hehe. So sorry about that but I was too excited about meeting Tomoyo."
Tomoyo was a little afraid. What did they mean? "Erm, what do you mean by the initiation, Sir?"
"Don't worry, it is just a blessing so that you can get your wings of flight, which allow you to do anything, as long as it does not break any laws."
"Really? I would love to know more about Heaven! Well, Sir, could you please give me your blessings?" Tomoyo asked directly to God as she curtsied once more. Then, Tomoyo closed her eyes. God smiled and raised His hands. It glowed for a moment before Tomoyo felt as if she were floating. Gingerly, she opened her eyes.
"I'm flying! Oh my gosh!"
"Now off you go!"
This was the moment Sakura had been waiting for. She dragged Tomoyo off immediately without thanking God. Tomoyo actually wanted to stay at the Great Hall for a while but as Sakura was so excited, she just followed her. When they were out of the doors, Sakura unfurled her wings and flew, half dragging the poor Tomoyo.
"Sakura, where are you going?" Tomoyo asked, feeling worried.
"Oops. I guess I was just too excited...I wanted to see Syaoran, it has been days since I had last seen him."
"Oh really? So when do lessons start? I really am curious about this place, so forgive me if I am a bit too excited too." Tomoyo smiled as she took Sakura's hands.
"Nah! Don't worry! Lessons will start tomorrow! For today, I want to introduce to you some people who are my friends and they work with me sometimes too."
"Who are they?"
"It's a secret. Just follow me. That's all I say! Last one to that house at that top of the hill is a fat angel!" Sakura pointed out as she sped off, while Tomoyo clumsily tried to get used to her wings and fly at the same time. Of course, in the end, Tomoyo was the fat angel Sakura had mentioned.
"Don't worry! You already fly better than other angels. Some cannot even fly on the first day they have their wings!"
Tomoyo panted as she flew towards Sakura. "So, is this always your idea of fun?"
"Well, no." Sakura smiled sheepishly. Both of them walked towards a tree and sat down. (a/n: due to the fact that they were panting.)
"Let's wait for them here. They would be here soon."
Thus, they waited and waited. Finally, when Tomoyo looked at the sky once more, she spotted some things flying towards them. "Sakura, I think they are here..." Before Tomoyo could finish her sentence, the group of people had arrived. Tomoyo looked closely at the group of people, and saw a guy with chestnut hair, like God, three girls hand in hand, a...Tomoyo rubbed her eyes and looked closely at the other guy. "No! It cannot be!" Tomoyo thought with alarm in her mind.
That guy seemed shocked too. It was as if they had known each other. However, was it really the person they were thinking about? Or was it someone else?
Meanwhile, Sakura and the chestnut guy were talking animatedly about something. Perhaps about the things that happened a few days ago. The other three girls were talking among themselves. They saw Tomoyo and flew over to her.
"Are you the new angel that we had heard about?" One of them asked.
"Er...yes. My name is Tomoyo Daidouji."
"Welcome to Heaven! My name is Chiharu, this is Rika and this, Naoko."
"Sakura said that you work with her sometimes. So, what do you all do?"
At this, the three of them smiled instantaneously. "Well, we ALWAYS, I mean, the three of us ALWAYS work together! We bring souls like you to Heaven and take them as charges. As for now, we have no new angels to take care of, except you..." Rika said.
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, no. Sakura will take care of you while we do jobs that Sakura is supposed to do but does not have the time to. It is not often for souls to be brought up here by us as in the past. Perhaps people are more...not so pure now." Naoko continued.
"Oh..."
"You know who that guy talking to Sakura is?" Tomoyo shook her head. "That is Syaoran, the son of God, and he is to be the next God when the current one passes on." Chiharu changed the subject.
"What! I thought that there is only one God!"
At this, all three girls became serious. The said this in unison: "No. That is not true at all. There are many more Gods in the past. It is the humans' believe that there is only one God, and God does not want the people to know, thus they think that there is only one God all the time. You MUST remember this, for this is very important."
"I will remember!" Tomoyo started to understand more about Heaven now, though there were still more things to know. "What about..." Tomoyo started to point out someone but that someone came over and talked to Chiharu, Naoko and Rika for a while.
Tomoyo, curious, asked the guy "Er...may I know who you are...?" She fervently hoped that he was not the person she was thinking of, or else, she would have thought that he had died...
"Me?"
"Yes."
"Well, my name is Eriol. What is your name? You look familiar"
Tomoyo was getting more and more nervous,, really hoping now that he was not the Eriol she was thinking of. "Well...I...well," Tomoyo! Get on with it! Say your name! "Well, my name is Tomoyo Daidouji..."
Ok! End of chapter three! How is it? Next chapter should be up soon. Don't know when but I will try to update more as holidays is coming, even though it is only one week, all right? Perhaps you will see me update one chapter a day. Who knows? Review! Thanks to those who did! Disclaimers will be put down here in the future for this fanfic, all right?
