Angelic Destiny
Nine
Eriol began waiting at the cherry blossom tree for Tomoyo, from the day he sent the note. He knew that Tomoyo would be going to the tree when she was better, but perhaps, she wanted to take a stroll, and perhaps, she would be going to the tree, to him...Thus, he waited, and waited.
As for Tomoyo, she was wondering about the letter, and what it meant. It was often common for boys to send her notes like this to meet her at somewhere to tell her something when she was alive. However, was she going to believe it or not? It was possible that this was a prank. However, why would he want to do that? After all, Eriol cared for her; she could see that in his eyes when she woke up that day. She knew that should not keep Eriol waiting but...she needed to think, and though she was better now, her mind was still not sure of what Eriol meant. Should she go and talk to him there, or should she not?
While Tomoyo was thinking about it in her room, Eriol was waiting at the cherry blossom tree, thinking of what to say to Tomoyo. Should he just say "Tomoyo, I love you." Or should he be dramatic, like kneeling down on one knee with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and say a long speech about her beauty before saying that he loved her? This was getting confusing.
"Perhaps I should not have sent that note to Tomoyo after all. I should have just told her at her room, even if it is not romantic." Eriol thought. "However, I could go to her room now and tell her...but what if she is unable to take it?"
Tomoyo was thinking about it a lot. She remembered the fact that Eriol had protected her when angels disturbed her and also for the fact that that angel that had caused Eriol to be injured...was it worth his love for her, would he accept it or not? Or did he just want to say that they were only friends and should not be lovers?
"I better go now, or else I would not have the courage to go...besides, Eriol has been waiting for so many days already!" Tomoyo thought as she sat up and began to change into her dress before going out through the window. If she were to go out through the door, Sakura would either imprison her in her room or accompany her. The better way was through the window. That way, Sakura would only find out that she had disappeared when she came into the room.
Eriol was still waiting for Tomoyo, waiting, waiting, but still, Tomoyo did not come. He felt sad and was about to leave when...
"Eriol?" a gentle voice asked.
"Tomoyo, you're finally here!" Eriol cried out as he went towards Tomoyo. "Are you all right?"
"Yes." Tomoyo smiled.
"Come, sit under the shade of the tree. You must be tired after flying here all the way from Sakura's place." Eriol said as he helped Tomoyo to the tree.
"So...what is it that you would like to say to me?"
"Well...er..."
"Yes?"
"Well, I...er...I love...you, Tomoyo!" Eriol told Tomoyo about his feelings, finally.
Tomoyo's face turned pale as a ghost before she flushed red, like a tomato. "Well, I...I...also...do have the feelings for...you too..." she said as she stood up to hug him. However, Eriol feeling a bit nervous, instead of hugging Tomoyo, kissed her on the cheek as he hugged her. Eriol's eyes widened as he looked into Tomoyo's eyes. Seeing the shock, Tomoyo giggled and hugged him even tighter.
The only problem was, this kind of intimacy did not last long, for another angel had attacked them again. "Why is it that these angels are always attacking you?" Eriol grunted as he fought the attacking angel. Tomoyo stood at where she was and seeing that this angel was quite weak, willed for her bow and arrow, aimed carefully and shot it at the evil angel. All happened as usual, but the only thing was, this angel disappeared the moment she touched the ground.
"What? Since when can angels do this?" Eriol stared at where the angel was supposed to be.
"Unless the monsters of the evil one are strong enough that they are able to disguise themselves as angels and come in...or it means that Heaven is now not as strong as before..." Tomoyo murmured as she unfurled her wings and flew.
"Where do you think you are going?" Eriol shouted.
"To ask Him about the whole prophecy!"
"I'll come along! I think that I am involved too!"
"All right!" The two of them flew urgently towards God's residence, and towards a place where they would find out about their destiny as angels, for angels have to fulfill their own destinies. However, they were the only ones who did not know their destinies until now, for all angels knew theirs the moment they were born or stepped into Heaven...
"I wish He would tell us more about it at one shot! He better not tell everything bit by bit! Even monsters are here, attacking angels already. We haven't much time!"
"Yes..." Tomoyo said as she flew. She was not as strong and thus was tired when flying towards His residence, which was quite far away. Eriol looked back when he realized that Tomoyo was not next to him, but instead lagging further and further behind.
He flew back and asked, "Tomoyo, are you all right? You seem tired."
"It's all right. I'm just a bit out of shape after not flying for so many days." Tomoyo smiled but she suppressed a grimace, for her wounds were actually torturing her, since they had not quite healed yet.
Eriol, however, did not believe Tomoyo, and carried her in his arms, flying towards His residence, which was still quite far away.
"What do you think you are doing, mister?" Tomoyo asked as she struggled out of Eriol's arms.
"I am bringing you to His residence and also the fact that you are tired, which is why I have to carry you there, in case you fly half-way and faint somewhere down there. Besides, you need to reserve your energy to hear what He has to say, if not, you will not be able to know anything and also become someone who is very dense, like Sakura."
"Oh...all right then. I know that you care a lot about me...I love you, Eriol..." Tomoyo submitted to his offer of flying her to His residence.
"Me too. Now sleep. I will wake you up when we reach there."
Together, they went there, yet again, to know more about their prophecies...and in the meantime, with Tomoyo sleeping...
