~* Familiar Sights, an innocent kiss, and who's coming back?! ~*
As the sun rose above the stars it's golden rays brush the night's colors of silver, purple, and blue away until the night falls again. Azure eyes open to see nothing but the sun's rays through the peach colored curtains. Suddenly his heart panicked it started to beat uncontrollably and his breathing picked up as well. His breathing seemed to be racing with his beating heart.
His mind swirled and the cozy room seemed to do the same. He did not know where he was nor who he was, he remembered nothing. But before he went insane because of his lack of information he took a deep breath and sat back on the couch. The sparkling sunlight's warm beauty lead Eriol's eyes to the sleeping plumb blossom's face. Eriol's eyes softened at this sight. He suddenly remembered what happened last night but he still couldn't figure out who he was.
As Eriol sat in this silence, his eyes still on her, he thought, 'It's odd, not many people usually wake up not knowing who they are…I feel like it's my first day on earth. Everything is so new and frightening. Nothing is familiar anymore…well almost nothing. This Daidouji Tomoyo, she seems so familiar yet so distant from my mind. Well I guess I am this way because she is the only one that was there for me last night. But why do I feel like she's always been there for me? '
His quiet contemplation was disrupted by Tomoyo's gentle, violet eyes. She walked to the couch in a groggily way yet her walk looked so graceful when the sunlight filtered through her loosely braided hair. She sat beside him and gave him a weak smile as her eyes squinted at the bright sunlight. "How do you feel?" Tomoyo said in a hushed voice.
Eriol could tell that she wasn't exactly awake yet so he politely told her to go back to bed. She quietly declined and told him to get ready to go to the hospital. He looked at her with a puzzled look. How does one get ready if one does not have anything to change into? Tomoyo saw this question in his eyes and told him that her maids washed his clothes for him last night.
So as she waltzed into the bathroom Eriol made his way out of Tomoyo's sunlit room. Misako was walking past her mistress' room when Eriol came out and her eyes widened from surprise. Her eyes clearly said, 'What was he doing in her room?!' but of course it was none of her business so she walked on after directing Eriol to his room.
*~ At the hospital~*
White walls covered with odorous get well flowers for other patients surrounded Dr.Kajiwara as he examined Eriol. "You seem to be just fine there are no major injuries. The only injury you have is a small bump on the head. You'll be just fine with a little ice each day. Well sir it looks like you have quite a predicament on your hands here. You don't know who you are. The police just checked the missing people list and if you had any criminal records but they turned up empty handed."
The doctor then turned to Tomoyo and said, "Well, Daidouji Tomoyo you say that you found him on the sidewalk, he was mugged by a man dressed in the shadows, and you have no idea who this stranger is? Well if this is all correct I am afraid that you will have to assist him if or until this man receives his memory back. Is this ok?"
Tomoyo nodded and smiled at Eriol who gave a gentle smile in return. The two walked out of the room and began to walk towards the penguin park. The doctor sighed and ran his peach colored hands through his short auburn hair as he whispered to the empty room saying, "Those two will do just fine even if he never gets his memory back, because he can always make new ones…" He then picked up his clipboard and walked to help his next patient.
*~ At the Park ~*
She playfully ran towards the park and her trailing raven hair beckoned Eriol to follow her. He saw a carefree look glistening in her rich, purple eyes and it made him smile a truly genuine smile. These two adults caught quite alot of attention as they ran like children toward the swings. Stares were directed their way and some sighed as some people rolled their eyes at this sight. 'Love sick children…' Is what each person thought to themselves. She sat one the swings and gently rocked back and forth.
Eriol stared at everything around him and something sparked his interest. It was the park and the way the trees bended in the wind. It was the way that the penguin slide stood in it's proud stance it was so familiar and almost magical in a sense. 'Something happened here something besides the robbery…something that I can't explain. Something that is too vague yet too vivid to remember…' With his azure eyes he regarded all the elements around him. Then his intense gaze faded as he stared upon the purple haired angel who was making funny faces at a baby on the grass behind him.
He chuckled and Tomoyo turned around and smiled. Then the baby took clear, playful aim and threw his rattle at Tomoyo's head. They both burst out in laughter as the baby squealed with delight. The baby's mother came over and apologized as she carried her baby boy back home. Tomoyo rubbed her head and Eriol gestured to help her up. They both started to walk out of the park and back towards Tomoyo's house.
The sun shone brightly as it's beam of light passed through a transparent window of the house next to Tomoyo's. The window reflected the clear blue sky above as a Sakura blossom tree beneath it shed more of it's pink petals on the viridian grass below. As Tomoyo and Eirol walked pass the seemingly desolate house Eriol couldn't help staring at it with intense eyes.
"What's wrong?" Tomoyo asked she saw his intense gaze and immediately became concerned. Eriol answered her question with another question. "Who lives there Daidouji-san? The house…it seems so neglected and familiar." There was a sparkle in his eyes and his lips turned into a smile but it soon faded as his face fell. "I can't remember I know that the memory is there but it's too elusive to recall."
Tomoyo just sighed and wished that she could help him more. "No I am so sorry…all I know is that someone new just moved in I wish I could help you more…" They walked on as they soon found themselves inside Tomoyo's house eating lunch.
*~ 10:30 PM in Tomoyo's room ~*
The shower could be heard running in Tomoyo's room. She washed her troubles away with the soothing warm liquid. Soon a knock could be heard on her door. A muffled but recognizable voice could be heard saying, "Daidouji-san? I heard that you wanted to see me?"
Tomoyo smiled to herself not knowing why and simply answered, "Please come in I'll be with you in a second."
Eriol walked into the room and sat himself on Tomoyo's plush cream sofa. The bathroom door opened and steam wafted in the air as Tomoyo approached Eriol. With her silky, light blue night gown she sat beside him and once again began to ask questions relating to his lost memory. By Eriol's answers it was evident that there was nothing new. Tomoyo tried to piece everything together.
Maybe he lived next door to her but there was no way to find out who lived there. Well she could check their mail or break into that house but that would be violating laws…So without any other way to help Eriol she sent him back to his room to sleep. But before he left he turned to face her and said, "Daidouji-san? I thank you with all my heart for bestowing your kindness upon me. How will I every repay you?"
Tomoyo just smiled a beautiful smile and stared at him with eyes filled with fondness. "If you receive your memory back that alone will be enough joy for me."
Eriol's eyes grew soft and he matched her smile with a smirk thinking, 'I can see that Daidouji-san's altruism is a big part of her. Just for that I think she deserves a light, innocent kiss.' His soft lips gently met with her silky pale cheek. Then he left Tomoyo and returned to his own room to dream once more. Tomoyo just stood there still watching the door as if she was waiting for it to start walking.
Her finger tips touched her cheek and her mouth twitched into a dreamy smile. With a sigh she went to her bed but then she saw that there had been a message left on her answering machine. She pushed the rubbery clear button and a voice began to speak.
"Hi, Tomoyo-chan? It's me Li, Meiln I am coming to visit Tomoeda. Can you pick me up at the airport please? Oh and…can I… stay at your house just for the night my hotel dosen't expect me until the next day and…is that ok? Oh and I will be arriving at 4:00PM thanks see you then. There is something I need to tell you… Ja-ne!"
Tomoyo's eyes lighted up with happiness as she heard this. Then her eyes dimmed into worry as she noticed that every time she heard a pause in Meiln sentence there was a sound that mimicked a sob. 'Wait what's this…why does it sound like she crying? What happened to her?' Now Tomoyo didn't know what to think. But as she fell into her bed that night one question resounded in her dreams,
'What happened to Meiln-chan?'
A/N: What's wrong with Meiln? When will Eriol gain his memories back and are Tomoyo and Eriol falling for each other? Review if you wish to! Find out next time until then Ja-ne minna-san!
