*~ Harmless Eyes Harmful Love ~*
The next morning~*~
The windows of the Daidouji manor radiated with glimmering sunlight. The maids removed the silk lavender curtains to reveal a beautiful spring morning sky. Tomoyo sat down on the soft cream colored sofa in the living room while she drank her tea.
She began staring into the whimsical site just beyond her glass window as she took another sip of her tea. With her eyes closed she sighed and wondered what was wrong with her raven haired friend. Suddenly she felt some weight to the left of her weigh down that side of the couch. A hand was placed on her shoulder as Tomoyo opened her eyes.
"I take it things aren't going so well this morning? Are you going to be alright Daidouji-san?" Eriol looked at Tomoyo with nothing but concern in his wonderful ocean eyes. Tomoyo pulled her legs up onto the couch and with her soft voice she said,
"The morning is wonderful but one of my friends doesn't seem to be doing as well as the sun is this morning. She seems to be crying but I couldn't tell all I could hear were muffled noises at the end of the other line between sentences." Tomoyo then gave her attention to the turquoise skies out side the window and she could only wonder if Meilin was ok.
'Meilin are you staring into the skies with your teary eyes today?'
Eriol saw the apprehension for her friend in Tomoyo's dark, lilac eyes. He couldn't do anything for her the only thing he could do it smile at her and tell her this, "Don't worry I am sure that she will be just fine Daidouji-san I am sure of it." Eriol smiled warmly at Tomoyo and she couldn't help but smile back. At this moment she experienced a warm feeling in her soul.
"Thanks blue-eyed-stranger." She wasn't even aware that she had called him that. It seemed as if her subconscious was talking for her. Eriol's eyes gave her surprised a look at the name that she had gave to him but then his eyes softened at this. He accepted this nick name as his name.
'She is really comfortable around me isn't she? She is just as comfortable with me as I am with her…but why is this so?' No memories in his mind stepped forward to answer his question. If only he could remember exactly what she was to him.
Little did those two know that pairs of hazel and green eyes where behind them leaning on the hallway entrance. They exchanged glances and smiles with each other. Then the green-eye-one whispered. "Hey what will the others think about this?" Smirks were matched as they the hazel–eyed-one spoke.
"I think that they will say, she will no longer be lonely anymore. This stranger certainly makes her feel less lonely when her mother isn't around. Come now lets go before they see us." The hazel-eyed-one lead the way back into the shadows with the green-eyed-one just step behind.
Tomoyo felt as if someone was watching them but when she turned around she saw nothing but the sun's light on the beige walls. She shrugged and walked to her room to change out of her night clothes and into her dazzling spring dress.
Eriol was left alone with the silence of the sunlight in the vast living room. So instead of just standing there he had the sudden urge to take a look around Tomoyo's mansion. Eriol was already dressed in his light blue T-shirt and his black casual pants when he began to wonder around the Daidouji household.
As he wondered form large corridor to large corridor he saw nothing that sparked his interest until he found some very immense cherry wood doors. His hands gently turned the slender, golden knobs and what he saw defiantly made his jaw drop to the floor.
It was a glistening, black, grand piano. He gracefully walked upon the cream, marble tiled floors to the ebony instrument. Then something came over him something unexplainable. The magic of a talent unknown to him took over his slender fingers. He graced the ivory keys with his years of musical experience.
A melody began to play it was none other then a work by the 20th century composer Claude Debussy. It was the piece that was said to give the impression of flowing, silver moonlight in the music. The song was Clair de Lune.
The delicate melody filled the house with serenity as it reached to the ears of the raven haired nightingale. Tomoyo found herself swaying to the dainty sounds of moonlight while she put on her aquamarine earrings.
Then as she heard the music slowly come near to it's end she decided to go and find out who the spectacular musician was. She rushed down the stairs as her powdered blue dress flowed behind her. She then felt herself lose her balance with the stairs and her progress to the music room was impeded by the pain she felt in her head and feet.
Eriol's song he could feel his heart race and his body shiver with fear. How did he do that and without any music sheets? This was too much for him he could feel his head swirl with confusion then a surge of pain. He calmed himself down and thought about this.
'This must be a clue to who I am but I don't want to burden Tomoyo by asking her to think about my problem she has too much on her mind right now. I'll try and figure this out on my own.' Then as he thought about this clue to his identity his head began to pound and he said to himself, 'I'll figure this out, after the pain goes away.' Then he made his way out of the music room and back into the living room.
Before he walked passed the grand stair case he noticed Tomoyo just getting off of it in her powdered blue dress holding her head. Concern filled his eyes and he rushed to help her. He asked if she was ok and she nodded gently and explained to him what happened. Soon the moonlight melody was forgotten in her mind as Eriol grabbed her hand and helped her to the living room couch.
*~At the Airport 4:00PM~*
A tall raven haired girl stood in front of the airport doors with her luggage in hand. With dark auburn eyes and a long well toned body she waited for her savior to arrive. She waited for her savior to take her away to a place where she could forget about her pains.
The smell of people smoking was almost unbearable but the screams of toddlers were even more annoying. But the one thing that made a tear trickle down her face was the sight of couples kissing and smiling lovingly at each other.
Tomoyo drove up to her old elementary friend as she honked the horn at her. Meilin smiled weakly at Tomoyo. Tomoyo saw that her eyes were red and puffy. She had been crying and it was her mission to find out why tonight.
All was quiet in the black limousine Tomoyo sat by her friend and put a comforting arm around her. Eriol on the other hand had taken a nap on his bed and Tomoyo didn't want to disturb him. So as the magic spheres of the night dotted the spring skies the long ebony car drove to a place where the grieving and the lost could be healed.
^~* In Tomoyo's kitchen 7:00PM~^*
After a lot of seemingly endless tears Meilin was ready to reveal what caused the tears of melancholy. So the tale of tears began and Tomoyo's gentle eyes regarded her friend as she began to speak.
*~ In Meilin's memory~*
The skies were shining with stars in the vast heavens above the magical lands of China as they did every night. The air was damp with spring rain as it was every spring night. Meilin's fiancé had a meeting in their apartment with his boss tonight which tainted this ordinary day with an uneasy feeling.
So as Meilin stayed in their room to choose the decorations for the wedding her fiancé talked with his boss about the new promotion that he was getting. The meeting took place on the living room couch in their apartment.
Meilin wanted to ask a quick question about where they should have the reception at so she went into the living room. But what she saw broke her heart and make her frantically pack her stuff. There on the couch was his boss kissing him but she couldn't see who it was because she was on top of him.
Her eyes burned with rage and anguish she yelled to stop this sinful act. "SO IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY "I'LL BE TALKING WITH MY BOSS"?! WELL MY DARLING GOOD BYE THE WEDDING IS OFF YOU JERK!" With her suitcase in hand she walked in long strides and began to run. The faster she got away from him the better her life would be…or so she thought. The further she ran away from her "fiancé" the more the tears would fall.
She took the first plane out of this land and away for HIM. The tears extinguished the burning flames of anger in her eyes and replaced it with salty tears of hurt and loneliness. So as she looked at cloudy skies outside of her plane's window she wondered if there was anyone out there that would ever want her. As all tales have an ending this was Meilin's for her tale of tears.
*~ End Meilin's Memory~*
Tomoyo embraced her pain inflicted friend as more tears were shed onto Tomoyo's powered blue dress. She cried into Tomoyo's shoulder and as the tears came out so did some words that were barely audible but not unheard. "First Syaoran leaves me then HE does the same. Doesn't any body want me?" All Tomoyo could do is hold her tighter and tell her it'll all be alright, for sure.
As the night became darker shades of blue then to black Tomoyo resided to her bed of sweet dreams. Meilin on the other hand couldn't sleep the pain of the dreams she would have of herself and him together looking at each other lovingly was just unendurable.
She still sat on the chair in the kitchen staring at the polished wood's grains which told a tale of a trees life. Her raven hair was let lose from it's binding hair tie revealing it's majestic length. Eriol walked in finally up from his nap and hungry as well. He saw long hair greet him when he opened the kitchen door and he assumed that it was Tomoyo's.
"Daidouji-san? I thought that you would be asleep by now it's already 1:00AM."
The young woman turned around and gave the exquisite, young man an inquiring stare. Her puffy red eyes obviously said, Who the heck are you? That is also the exact question she asked. He then returned the same question to her as his answer.
So as they exchanged names and stories of loss love and loss of memories they both found themselves in the same position as the other was in. Well in a way it was the same. He was lost without any recollection of who he was. She was lost without her love to guide her. Then they suddenly both felt like they needed someone and the found that in each other.
They both wanted someone to be there for them and so as the stories came to an end a kiss began. Lips caressed lips and eyes watched them from the crack of a slightly opened door. Tomoyo had gotten hungry so she went down stairs for a snack and she found more then what she wanted to find.
Tomoyo's eyes began to show happiness for her friends but a certain feeling encumbered her heart. She searched her heart for the answer but she denied the answer she was given to her. The answer that said she could be feeling this.
This feeling that was new to her and what was it called again? No, it can't be envy can it? With a new feeling blossoming in her heart she flew up the carpeted stairs and went to her room to question her dreams why she felt this way. A pair of light hazel eyes watched the blue-eyed-stranger and the Chinese girl kiss passionately from the desolate hallway.
The eyes hid in the hallway which was covered by shadows that haven't been tainted by the light. A pair of green eyes hid in the moonlit shadows of the living room and they watched Tomoyo escape up the stairs and into her room.
Both familiar eyes met and exchanged information. The two eyes exited the scene and darkness took over. As eyes harmlessly watch Tomoyo struggle through her problems a new love is born. But two people know that something isn't right…
A/N: Do you think that these two mysterious people make this story more interesting or are they in the way? Oh and these eye people who are they? Thanks for reading please review.
