Chapter 10: The Song Of Destiny...
Everyone is doing their best during the practice time. Tomoyo has managed to memorize the lyrics easily in one night.
"Everyone let's call it a day. We should go home now and by the way we don't have to practice tomorrow and on the next day because of the up coming exam. We should worry that first then resume next week, okay!" Drake informed them after finishing the last song
"Well said" Juliet commented and Drake just blush but look away to prevent her from seeing it
"Very well then see you at school Tomorrow, bye guys" May and Mark left
"Oh me too see yeah!" Kristine runs to catch the first batch
"Well we better get going too, let's go Tomoyo" Eriol said after arranging the piano set
"See you next week" Tomoyo bow to them and left following Eriol
"Wait!" Eriol and Tomoyo look back at Drake.
"Tomoyo you're great, now I know we will surely win the contest" Drake commented
"I agree" Juliet back up
"Thanks but everyone also did their best today" with that she and Eriol left
"I see that you have fallen for Tomoyo as well Drake" Juliet noted "What can I say she is like an angel who has fallen here in England and not to mention to Eriol's place too"
"It's just your imagination. Besides I like someone else and true she maybe not be as beautiful as an angel but she has the aura of a goddess" Drake reply not looking at her
Juliet felt her heart leap hearing these but didn't said a word
"By the way why are you still here? You should have left with Mark and the others. I still need to stay here because I still need to do some stuff" Drake begun to walk around the studio and start arranging the cords
"I dunno, maybe because I am waiting for certain someone to get me home?" With that Drake look at her surprised "I'll wait for you and while I'm on it I'll help too" Juliet said and begun to helped Drake who also didn't say a word but both of them are wearing the best smile ever.
Meanwhile Eriol and Tomoyo are making their way home; they have separated their way with Mark, May and Kristine just a minute ago
"You know it's been a while since I walked with you this late Eriol" Tomoyo begun
"...." Eriol look at her but decided not to talk
"We usually do this back in Japan whenever we have a late practice in choir or when we on spy Sakura and Syaoran's date" Tomoyo shut her mouth and look at the young man who didn't seems to care "I-I'm sorry"
"You don't have to. Just continue, it doesn't really matter now what happened to me back there, but for you its different" Eriol said Tomoyo shook her head
"Not really, I too have unpleasant memories left behind. But there are also precious ones that I just can't ignore"
"I see, at least now I know your intentions going here" Eriol teased and both of them laugh
"What do you mean by that?! Do you think I came here for something else?" Tomoyo ask quite disappointed
"Uh, not really. Sorry but there are still some things that are quite unclear to me" Tomoyo look at him then look at away
"Oh about that too, do you mind if I ask you something personal?" Tomoyo ask shyly and Eriol just nod "Why did you and Ms. Mizuki end up separating?" This made Eriol to stop walking, this made Tomoyo worry.
There has been a long silence between them again
"Um, you don't have to answer that if you don't like. I am sorry for bringing it up" Tomoyo said taking her question back, but Eriol begun to speak...
"We had a fight 2 years ago. She said that it is not right for us to keep lying to ourselves, that we are not meant for each other" He paused
"What does she mean by that? You and Ms. Mizuki are really a cute couple" she protested
"Thanks but there are things that are destined to happened and it was fate that separate us" he reason
"Destined and faith, huh..." Tomoyo didn't said a word for the same thing happened to her 8 years ago
"You don't have to feel sorry, things do happened normally right?" Eriol begun to walk a bit faster
"That's the point, Eriol Hiiragizawa you are not normal at all!" she reply then turn her pace quicker so she can catch up with the azure boy. Eriol grin when he saw her wearing her bright aura again
"Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment" And both of them smiled
It was beginning to dark and only the street lamps are the lights in the cold road at England. After a few minutes Tomoyo begun to sing a song. Gentle breeze begun to play with Tomoyo's hair that made it slightly flew.
'She's beautiful...' Eriol mutter
"Did you say something?" Tomoyo ask
"Uh- nothing, don't mind me" he replied slightly blushing then decided to change the topic "Tomoyo where did you learned that song?" he ask staring at her
It took a while before Tomoyo answer him. She seems to be thinking something that is very hard to understand.
"I learned that from someone in my dream, she loves to sing that song although she never seems to finish it" Tomoyo begun to realize that Eriol is staring at her that made her blush and Eriol seeing this turn away
"Tomoyo about that did something happened while you are dreaming during your coma?" Eriol ask her with interest
"Well come to think of it, while I was dreaming, I saw 4 people whom I think I know somehow but not" Tomoyo reply don't know how to express it in words
"What do you mean 'somehow'? You feel like knowing them but not?" He is still not looking at her, but Tomoyo nod her head
"Yeah, I heard their name but somehow I can't remember them when I woke up. All I remember is their faces but that's all." Tomoyo stop her words then shiver when cold breeze begun to arrived, Eriol took off his light jacket and put it into her bare shoulder
"Please continue" she heard him say
"That girl said I must do my part like the others, but I don't know what she meant by finishing the song. I was wondering if she meant that song I was singing a while ago?" Tomoyo pull the coat much closer to her, "But then again, how am I going to finish it if I don't know how she feels during that time, what is her message to proclaim"
That time they have arrive in the Hiiragizawa manor, Eriol look at her with assuring eyes that made Tomoyo feel 'everything is gonna be ok' then blush.
'Stupid Tomoyo, why are you blushing every time he is looking at you? For heaven's sake cut it out!! You're just dreaming about things which will lead you to another pain. I'll repeat, STOP IMAGINING THINGS WITH ERIOL HIIRAGIZAWA!!' Tomoyo's mind yells at her which made her to loose in reality
"Tomoyo, will you prepare our dinner now? I am sure Spinnel and Ruby are pretty hungry now" Eriol said taking his jacket of her but she showed no reaction at all
"Tomoyo Daidouji to earth!! H-E-L-L-O is anybody there?" Eriol ask shaking her
Tomoyo returning to the real world realized how close she was to Eriol. Amethyst and Sapphire eyes met as both of them begun to panic in embarrassment. Tomoyo accidentally trip as both of them loose balance and fall to the soft sofa in the living room, Tomoyo lays on the soft sofa with Eriol on top of her.
Both Eriol and Tomoyo were stunned that none of them dare to break the warm feelings embracing them. Tomoyo begun to blush harder as Eriol too turned red.
'My gosh, is this really happening? Tomoyo what is wrong with you? I was telling you to stop fantasizing that man and you never listen! You never listen to what I tell you, Tomoyo Daidouji, are you listening?' Tomoyo's mind begun to argue with her again but this time she doesn't seems to care. She is in the arms of someone she had long admire, just this once let her dreams came into reality, just this once
Tomoyo realizing the possible outcome if anyone saw them in that position, tried to pull out from his strong arms, but Eriol insist and pull Tomoyo to a tighter embrace which leads her to another hard blush
"You know if Nakuru or Spinnel saw us they'll surely tease us for the rest of our lives" Tomoyo informed looking away from his deep azure eyes
'So what if my two guardians saw us' Eriol thought then blush more 'what am I thinking? Eriol Hiiragizawa you need to take some rest now. Tomoyo is innocent don't include her from your insane affair. 'Innocent? I don't thing so, but then again she just got over from her previews love life and here am I doing this to her. Eriol you deserve a big punishment for this' Eriol lessoned himself but still didn't move his arms off her
Time seems to stop for both of them as they try to feel comfortable with each other. Meanwhile Nakuru and Spinnel went down to see if Eriol and Tomoyo have arrived. They both went to the living only to see the cute couple in the sofa bed, embracing each other
"KAWAII!!" Nakuru exclaim in Japanese words. This made Tomoyo and Eriol volt up in surprise and face the opposite
"Now you've done it airhead! You've destroyed the most peaceful moment the adorable couple just had!" Spinnel said adding her tease
"Thanks a lot Spinnel" Eriol reply to his black cat but he was also grinning
"I better prepare dinner" Tomoyo said not looking at them and head towards the kitchen
"...., alright see you at dinner" Eriol reply turning his gaze at her
'Stupid Eriol, this is his entire fault! I should have listened to my thought at the first place' Tomoyo lesson herself
Meanwhile before Eriol could leave the living room he heard his black cat saying something
"It looks like you are enjoying this" Spinnel said smirking
"You think so? What if I say yes, what would you do?" Eriol took Spinnel and played with its twisted tail
"You are planning something aren't you, and I thought my playful master has stopped his hobby from playing with people's life" Spinnel ask looking at his Cerulean eyes
"Oh I am not playing anything my dear black cat of mine, I am just looking for something that I might need your help, that's all" Eriol reply innocently
"Whatever Master, so may I know what is it that you want my help with?" Spinnel ask looking at his master
"Hey how about me? How come you and Spinnel had to share lots of secret while I remain nothing?" Nakuru complain
"That is very simple, my dear Ruby, that's because you're an airhead and I'm not, right master?" Spinnel said sarcastically.
"Say that again and you'll never see the daylight again, Spinny" Nakuru retorted
Eriol, getting quite irritated between his guardians arguments decided to finally butt in
"Don't worry I'll need your help too Ruby Moon" Eriol said walking towards the music room "But I also need you to get the book I ask you to get from my cute descendant"
"Sir Yes SIR!" Nakuru jumped in and run to her room
After a few minutes, Eriol, Spinnel and Nakuru has manage to disarray all the things inside the music room
"Master we have successfully ruin the whole music room but me and Ruby still haven't figure out what you are looking for" Spinnel commented trying to dust away the dirt in his tiny body
"Oh didn't I mention that I was looking for a really old music book? Eriol look at them in disbelief
"MASTER!!" Nakuru said angrily
"Sorry" was his only reply also sweating drop.
After a few hours of searching, Nakuru has Spinnel has finally found the old music book
"Spinnel, you're the best!" Eriol exclaim as he run off to the black cat's location, unfortunately because of the books and papers scattered around, Eriol stumble to a pile of scattered paper and fell hard on the ground "Ouch!" he mutters
"Master, you okay?" Nakuru run towards him and help him get up "Really master, you got to be careful. We don't want our master to grow clumsy"
"I'll remember that one Ruby, thanks" Eriol said sarcastically and continued walking to his black cat.
Eriol took the old, dusty book from Spinnel and carefully scan the contents
"This is it, okay, so where is the book from the Li clan?" Eriol ask them
"I have them master, here" Nakuru handed him the old book from Hong Kong
"Thanks, now let see...right, so this is what it is...yes, yes" Eriol said while reading the 2 old book "Yes, I think I now know the solution to Tomoyo's problem" Eriol jumped in delight, but then again he noticed the whole music room and sweat drop "Did we really did this?" he ask dumb folded; Spinnel and Nakuru nod their head "I think it's better to clean this up before we eat dinner" Eriol took out his magic key and chant his incantation then his wand appear. He swing his right hand together with his wand and the room came back to normal
"So you have used your magic to clean the whole mess here?" A very feminine voice said, everyone in surprised look to where it came from
"Tomoyo, have you been standing there since the beginning?" Eriol ask in surprised, Tomoyo shook her head
"Well not long enough to see it happened, anyway I just came to tell you guys dinner is ready. I made pork stew, hope you like it" Tomoyo then begun to look at the table where Eriol placed the 2 old books "What are those?" She ask and was about to walk in but Eriol has manage to walk first towards her and led her outside, gently "huh?" was her only reply
"Pork stews? Wow I bet that taste good, right Ruby, Spinnel" Eriol said changing the topic, and his two guardians just nod in agreement "Can't wait to taste it, boy I am hungry lets eat everyone" and Eriol took Tomoyo's hand and went into the dinning room.
After dinner, Eriol went back to the music room again. Tomoyo and Nakuru cleaned up the dinning table and washed up all the dishes, while Spinnel, he just watched them from the top of the refrigerator.
After washing all the dishes, Tomoyo was about to go to her room when she heard a very familiar tune coming from the music room; slowly she opens the door only to see Eriol playing the piano. She also saw Nakuru and Spinnel there in their true form
"Eriol?" she softly ask; Eriol stopped playing the piano and look at her with a big smile
"Is this the tune you said you are always hearing Tomoyo?" He ask directly
"Y-Yes, but how?" Tomoyo walked, confused on how he found out
"I made a little research; did you know that you had a little hallucination while you are dreaming, 2 days straight?" Eriol again begun to play the tune and Tomoyo felt a bit strange
Eriol following every note in the music book, slowly Tomoyo begun to sing it, but as expected in the middle of the song, it was unfinished
"That's all to it." Eriol gave out a very disappointed sigh "It seems that Clow Reed never had time to finished this piece either; I wonder what happened during that time?" Eriol then walk besides Tomoyo and showed her the book from Li
"What's this?" She ask looking at him
"Is this the woman you said you saw in your dream Tomoyo?" Eriol opened to the page where he had put book mark on. Tomoyo slowly look down and scan the page then her eyes met the same figure she had saw in her dream. Tomoyo stared at the picture for a long time "Tomoyo?" he ask a bit concerned
"It's her, who is she Eriol, who is she?" she demanded
"Her name is Tomoko Daikoujin; she died at the early age of 18 because of Tuberculosis. She is well known of her song also the best dancer in her time; smart one too." He pauses for a moment and look at Tomoyo
"Is that all?" Tomoyo sat in the soft sofa
"No, it is also said that she had a small affair with Clow Reed, but nothing more. She also posses a very powerful aura but she was not allowed to use them or lets just say she avoids them." He was cut off when Nakuru in her true form shot a question
"How come she is avoiding all that power, when she could use it to anyway she wants?" Ruby Moon said quite confused
"I also want to ask the same thing master" Spinnel too
"I think I got you answers to that" Eriol sat besides Tomoyo in the sofa "You see the family of Daikoujin has said to be one of the best Shamans in Japan. Their daughters or Sons were offered to the gods and said that the Gods themselves lend their powers to those children. Tomoko is one of the itako types of shaman. She has the ability to see spirits and magic too but she was a cursed child that is why she ended up choosing to die alone rather than to lived with Clow Reed"
"How tragic" Tomoyo mutter "But what is with that song that Tomoko wished me to finish?" Tomoyo look back again at the picture "I wish I knew what to do, I really want to help Ms. Tomoko ease her pains"
"I believed that song was created by both of them. So if finishing the song is all we got to do, then why don't we do it ourselves?" Tomoyo's face lit up with hope as Eriol begun to held her hands together with his
"But, I do not have magical abilities to do that, I am not like you or like Sakura you are aware of that don't you?" she commentated disappointedly.
"True that is not a problem, every human has its own power within themselves; when you sing your song Tomoyo, you are unleashing a very powerful aura yourself. I think that is enough to finish the song."
Tomoyo still feeling a bit worried just nods her head.
"Then shall we begin now?" Eriol decided to play the song again and again while Tomoyo took a sheet of paper and try to continue the lyrics...
It was already 12:00 am, but nothing seems to enter in Tomoyo's mind, she drops her pen unconsciously and fell asleep. Eriol saw this and walk towards Tomoyo to pick her up but before that...
"You really look like an angel falling from the sky in England, to my place, to my heart. Tomoyo Daidouji, you not a simple girl as you think..."
Then both of them walk out of the music room and up to the 2nd floor
Meanwhile, Tomoyo is having another dream...
"Tomoyo....Tomoyo, wake up. Tomoyo..." said a fading, feminine voice
"Tomoko san?" Tomoyo stir as she slowly opens her eyes. She saw Tomoko smiling at her
"Will you finish the song for me Tomoyo San? Will you help me Tomoyo san?" She asks immediately with pleading a voice.
"I'd love to, but how? I don't know how to start continuing your song. Every time I try to find the right words, it always misfit the rhymes" Tomoyo reply
"Just follow your heart, Tomoyo. Continue the song with how you feel, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF...Tomoyo san"
In the real world, Eriol was about to go out of Tomoyo's room when she heard her say something,
"Be...True...To...My...Self..." then Tomoyo stir to her left, Eriol hearing this smile then walk out. When the door close Eriol grin to himself
"Really Tomoyo, you need to stop talking in your dreams, but then again you inspired me to continue the song"
Then Eriol went back to the music room and stayed there all night
Hehehe! Sorry for the Long period of waiting...but I have another chappie for all of you guys....R&R pls...love you all ET fans...
