Angelic Destiny
Thirteen
The couple was still kissing, but after some time, they stepped away from each other, panting and looking at each other. Until now, they still did not realize that someone was watching them, so the two of them sat down on the ground and waited for the other person to speak. Eriol finally spoke up.
"Tomoyo, are you all right? I'm so sorry that I have behaved this way..." he started, but before he could continue, Tomoyo said, "If it is your fault, then isn't it part of my fault too? So don't blame yourself. Blame me instead."
"But..."
"All right. So it is not my fault and neither is yours. That means this is nobody's fault. Satisfied?" Eriol did not speak anymore, and Tomoyo took his muteness as a good sign.
"Come, let's go back now." Tomoyo said as she stood up, her hand reaching for Eriol's. Eriol nodded and the two of them exited the place.
Meanwhile, on hearing that they would be going back to their homes, since darkness was falling, the hidden angel silently made his way out and towards the city's gigantic bulletin board, where he created a very big poster using his magic and stuck it to the bulletin board. The poster was so big that it cover almost one quarter of the board, and due to the size of the poster, many angels began to make their way to look at the new message. The angel smiled smugly before flying away, waiting for the destruction that would probably start to occur, and then...Tomoyo and Eriol will be no more over time...
Unbeknownst to the couple of what would happen to them soon, they made their way home, hand in hand, strolling along the pavement, and they only left each other when they made way for someone. Both of them were silent and they did not look at each other, but at the pavement before them.
After some time, they reached Tomoyo's home and they said their goodbyes there, albeit stiffly. With that, Tomoyo went into the house and Eriol made his way back to his own home. As he passed the bulletin board, since it was part of his route home, he was surprised to see so many angels congregating there, blocking his way. He was curious, and he looked up. There, on one corner of the bulletin board, he noticed what caused the other angels' attention and caused them to stay there, talking about it.
It was a poster. Under a picture of him and Tomoyo, he saw what caused him to turn pale. There, under the pictures, he saw the words in red, 'Tomoyo, the angel, is already engaged to someone else when she was still alive, but why is Eriol going after Tomoyo? He is seen kissing her too!'
"Since when is this a gossip bulletin board? I thought it is for important news, not news of this kind?" Eriol thought as he made his way home, by flying at a great speed. He could not believe that someone would do such things to them, causing them harm when they were innocent after all.
Eriol reached home and went to his room, closing the door and then sat down on a chair, hands raking his already messy hair. He did not know what to do, since he was not sure if Tomoyo was already engaged in the first place. He would have to ask Tomoyo the next day then, since he did not want Tomoyo to be disturbed by the news. However, if he went to Sakura and Syaoran, the two of them would probably not be able to help them on this; they would not know what to do except do some minor things to help Tomoyo and Eriol, but they would probably be not enough. He groaned. Who wanted to make things worse between him and Tomoyo? As if it was not already bad enough.
Meanwhile, Tomoyo was sitting down on a chair in the bedroom reading a book when she was interrupted from her reading by an angel barging into the room. It was Sakura, panting as if she had run a marathon.
"There you are, Tomoyo! Where have you been?" Sakura exclaimed as she threw herself down on Tomoyo's bed.
"Is anything the matter?" Tomoyo asked as she calmly closed the book she was reading and put it aside.
"Everything's the matter! Now answer me a question!"
"Oh, all right..."
"Tell me, were you engaged to someone before you died? Tell me the truth, or else you are in deep trouble!"
Tomoyo frowned as she thought about it. It was a long time since she had thought about her past, and most of the time she only remembered her mother, and would check on her whenever possible. However, she tried as hard as she could to think about it, for it seemed that Sakura wanted a definite answer, not answers like 'Oh...I am not sure...'
She thought about it for a while, the whole time frowning. Finally, she remembered something. But it was quite vague, so she pursued it and thinking hard. About half an hour later, she had her answer, and her answer was "Yes, I was engaged to someone before I died, though I did not wish to be married to that person. My mother ordered me to marry that person."
Tomoyo looked at Sakura's face closely, and it did not bode well, for her face was pale and she looked as if she had seen a ghost. Then, Sakura suddenly woke up from her reverie.
"Come with me to see Eriol and Syaoran right this instant!" Sakura stood up and dragged the confused Tomoyo out of the house, and to Eriol's place, where Syaoran was currently at then.
They arrived there, and to their surprise, so did someone else.
So sorry that I did not update for such a long time! Please forgive me...will you?
