Angelic Destiny

Eleven


Tomoyo and Eriol were discussing about the prophecy and they did not want angels to be surprised by all the things they were saying if they were overheard, which was what they did not want to happen. If it happened, what could they do? They could not just say that it was just plain rubbish; the angels would get more suspiciously about it.

"So, what do you plan to do now? Search for the angel who is probably one of the creature's minions in charge of all the evil angels in Heaven or just wait until the evil creature appears?" Tomoyo asked as she sat down on a bench in a secluded spot in the garden of His.

"Well, I have no idea what to do either but we can always try our best, right? If not, more angels will suffer while we do nothing. For now, I suggest we root out as many evil angels as possible and then wait for the It to strike." Eriol answered as he sat down beside Tomoyo on the bench.

"It is quite all right, but do you think that there are more angels out there where we have to save instead of the few that we have saved...unless the angel in charge of all the angels here is very powerful and can order angels about secretly to do something. Then that would be different. Do you think this might be the case?"

Eriol frowned as he thought. "Yes, you may be right, but who is probably the one angel we are searching for?"

"We can always ask the angels we have saved secretly who was the last few angels they met and then we can check on them and find out common angel's name. That way, we can see if he or she is the one. It is clearer that way, though we get wrong clues."

"Good one! I have not thought about this."

"How about we go now and ask them?"

"No. You go back and rest while I go and ask them."

"Eriol..." Tomoyo whined.

"What?"

"Why can't I go with you too? I am not tired at all after that nap!"

Upon hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and he stared at her. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am! Besides, I guess that you are tired too and I want you to rest too!"

Eriol glanced at the sky in exasperation and mutter something like 'women'.

"Now what are you saying? Eriol Hiiragizawa?"

Tomoyo was frowning at him as she folded her arms and sat there, still. "Well?"

"Nothing." He looked at her innocently.

"Fine." Tomoyo said as her voice softened. "However, don't you think you should rest? I think that you are tired after carrying me to His home."

"No, it's nothing. Don't worry about me." Eriol said as he stood up. "Come, let's go together."

Slowly, Tomoyo stood up and the two of them walked towards the city, side by side. Of course, they made a scene, for two angels of high rank were holding hands and looking at each other adoringly as they walked, talking and laughing, though they sometimes did ask questions as other angels greeted the two of them.

They walked for quite some time before reaching their destination, the first angel's house. It was small, but looked cozy and seemed to be kept in good condition. Eriol knocked the door. The angel answered it and seeing Eriol and Tomoyo, opened the door wider and let them in.

"What can I do to help you?" the angel asked.

Tomoyo and Eriol glanced at each other before Eriol answered, "We would like to ask you some things."

"Oh, all right."

"Now, who was the last angel you saw before you came and attacked Tomoyo?"

"Quite a number of people and I cannot remember them. However, I remembered someone whose rank is like yours, sir, and he was ordering a few angels to do some things but I also cannot remember what."

"Can you remember how the angel looks like? Any idea at all?" Eriol persisted.

The angel shook his head forlornly, for he could not remember how the angel looked like at all. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something, something very special.

"Yes! Yes! I remember now! Though I cannot remember how he looks like, I can remember that he has something hanging on his neck, something very minute but it looks like a watch! Yes! It is a watch! One that has the roman digits, not numbers! I believe that you know who that angel is, but gosh..." the angel trailed off, now knowing who the angel was that he was talking about. "It cannot be your father, right?" he asked softly.

Tomoyo observed quietly, for she had no idea what to say. She realized that if it was Eriol's father who did this, was he one of those who was controlled by It, or did he do it on his own, joining the evil side? Eriol's face was white, for that, Tomoyo could understand, but what if Eriol could not take it at all? What if Eriol did something wrong accidentally out of anger, a blunder that could not be forgiven?

"Eriol, are you all right?" she asked, after looking at Eriol for sometime, who was looking at the ground, eyes wide with shock. Hearing Tomoyo's voice, he turned and looked at her, slowly registering the fact that Tomoyo was with him.

"Do you want to take a walk to clear your mind? We can do this some other time, on my own, if you do not want to go."

"Sir! If your father is the one..." the angel started, but was silenced with a swift motion of Tomoyo's hand and a frown.

"Come, Eriol." Tomoyo said as she walked over to him and helped him out of the house gently. She brought him to somewhere outside the town, where most of the angels were congregating at the moment, out of the eyes of prying angels.

She made him sit down while she knelt in front of him. He was still shocked, for he did not want that angel to be his father. He kept silent, Tomoyo in front of him, looking concerned.

"Do you want to talk to be about this? Tell me, it's all right. I'll be right beside you, listening to what you have to say."

"I..." Eriol started, but he suddenly stopped, for he leaned down and kissed Tomoyo, to he shock.

Behind them, the angel that had been following them all this while, smiled, for the two of them were falling into his Master's trap, just as he had predicted when his Master told him.
