Chapter 11: Tomoko-Tomoyo Sonatas
Tomoyo is the first one to wake up in the manor, she walks out of her bed and took a bath. After taking the cold bath, she chooses to wear a white dress with laces and ribbon then tie a white ribbon on one of her hair strands.
After the long preparation, she went to the kitchen and cook break fast. After 15 minutes she finishes all of the cooking then decided to call everybody to eat. She was about to go up stairs when she remember her dream last night. She look at the door leading to the music room, something seems to be pushing her towards that door so walk inside
As she came in, she immediately scan the room and saw Eriol lying in the sofa holding a music writing pad. She walks towards him and kneel besides the sofa. She began to play with her long dark blue bangs.
"You really look like a little boy sleeping like that here" She giggles then stood up but a hand caught her wrist which made her to squeak in surprised. She looks down and saw the wide awake Eriol Hiiragizawa grinning at her
"Good Morning Eriol" She greeted immediately, "Did you have good dream last night?"
"Yes, but unfortunately an angel woke me up with her soft hands" He reply holding her right hand
"Well, sorry for waking you, sleepy blue hair master, but you shouldn't sleep there. What's the use of your king size bed if you don't sleep in there?" Tomoyo sat on the floor besides Eriol who is still lying in the sofa
"Well, I believe it was someone's fault that made me stay here until 3:00 am finishing the music of my ancestor" Eriol's big hands are still in Tomoyo's soft hands. "Anyway, you really look like an angel in that dress and with that hair of yours" his other hand began to play with her hair, Tomoyo giggle
"Why thank you, Master Eriol. Actually I was also thinking something about you before you caught my idea that you are awake" she said, she felt his hand going down to her cheeks which made her slightly pink
"And may I know what that is about?" Eriol said getting quite interested with the girl besides him. He notice that she is slightly blushing but doesn't seems to mind it at all
"Do you really want to know, Master?" she asked teasingly
"Will you shut the 'Master' thing and tell me what came to your mind while you are caressing my bangs" he demanded, he heard her giggle
"Well I was thinking that you really do look like a little boy just lying in there." She said proudly
"Little boy you say..." Eriol is starting to get up and still not letting go of her hand
"Yes, a little boy" she said again very proudly
"Then brace yourself for the little boy you address is now really wide awake to take you on" Then Eriol pull Tomoyo towards the sofa and began to tickle her. Tomoyo who is still very shock can't stop laughing with Eriol tickling her.
"Oh my God, Eriol stop it, you're ruining my dress" She pleads...
"Well I am so sorry with that but you deserve this punishment after what I had done to help you and you repay me by saying you 'I look like a little boy', I am really disappointed, Tomoyo" he continue tickling her, when accidentally Tomoyo hit Eriol's hand which he use for support. As expected Eriol landed on top of Tomoyo...
Both fell in silence...
'God, why does this always happen to me?' Tomoyo said to herself but didn't dare to move
'God, did I do too much to deserve this?' Eriol slowly pull himself up until he could see her angelic face 'She's so beautiful, please just this once, let him do what my heart's been desiring for days now'
Eriol's head began to lower again; Tomoyo could feel his warm breath, her heart is pumping really louder and faster now
'God, is he going to kiss me? Is this really true?" Tomoyo look away but Eriol's hand put it back to the right view, to her lips
"Please just this once, let me kiss you" she heard him say and finally they've kiss. It was warm and long, it took them 2 minutes before they break it. Both gasping for air
"Did you like it?" Eriol teasingly ask
"Pardon?" Tomoyo dumbly answer
Eriol chuckle, "Did you like the kiss we just shared?" he asks again... Blush to the maximum but she nods her head... "Then you wouldn't mind if you became my girl from now on right?"
'Your girl, I like the sound of that but..' she shook her idea off her head "Sure but is that it?" Tomoyo ask again...
"Why are you not contented with the kiss we just shared? Do you want more than that?" He teasingly asks again...
Tomoyo's face is really starting to smoke
"No, what I mean is...oh just forget it. Get off me, you heavy little b--" she was cut off by another kiss yet this time it is more deeper, passionate but no lust, Tomoyo this time respond to his daring lips
They are to busy with each other that they didn't see Nakuru and Spinnel from the door
"I think master has already over come our previews mistress and he looks so happy with his new one" Nakuru said to his feline partner
"I think they should get a proper room for what they are doing right now" Spinnel commented. "Ruby, let's leave them alone. It's too much for a black cat like me to see"
After a few more minutes...
"Eriol stop, you're going to be late for school. You should eat breakfast too you know"
"But I don't want to go to school. I want to stay with you. And I am already taking my break fast" he pulled her again to another deep kiss, but Tomoyo insist
"Eriol Hiiragizawa, I'm serious. Take a bath now and immediately go to the dinning table." Then Tomoyo push Eriol of her and walks out of the room
"What ever you say, My Tomoyo Daidouji..." he said smirking then went to his own room to change clothes.
When Eriol came to the dinning room, he saw Tomoyo, Nakuru and Spinnel has already started eating their breakfast
"Morning everyone" he greeted
"Morning Master" Spinnel reply
"Morning too master, but I thought you're already eaten your breakfast in the music room not to long ago" Nakuru said playing innocent again. Tomoyo blush again and started to drink her tea
"Yes, but someone said that if I don't hurry up, I'll be in big trouble" he reason up and look at Tomoyo who is blushing really hard again.
"Shut Up, just hurry eating your breakfast and leave this manor right away" she demanded as she finishes her tea.
Nakuru look at the wall clock and saw that it is already 6:30
"Oops, I'm going now. Yukito said he wants to show something before we started working, see you late master, Tomoyo, Spinny" and Nakuru dash out of the manor
"I better should be going too. Take care my sweet Tomoyo" then he too left the house
Tomoyo and Spinnel see them off through the door before going back to the kitchen to clean up
"You know, you shouldn't do that anymore" Spinnel said sitting on her shoulder "You are our new mistress now, right"
Tomoyo stop on her tracks and look at the black cat sitting on shoulder
"New mistress huh," she pause "But It's okay doing all this kind of things, after all it's the reason why I am here on the first place right?" Tomoyo said, Spinnel saw her still smiling and remembers what happened earlier
'I hope Tomoyo will do the job for us, please help young master to over come his past' he said to himself
In the university in school...Drake and Mark saw Eriol who seems to be smiling like an idiot. They walk towards him and said...
"Morning Eriol, looks like you woke up in good mood today, did something happened in your dream last night?" Mark ask curiously
"Dream? Forget it man, try 'did something happened earlier this morning?'" Drake joke and both of them laugh. They didn't hear Eriol laugh nor said a word so they look at him and saw that he is slightly blushing...they got the idea...
"No way pal, what did you do to her?" Drake ask with interest
"More like what did the two of you did?" Mark suggested, Eriol's face began to get irritated
"Cut it out, nothing happened except that..." he cut the sentence off leaving the two hanging in anticipation
"YES?!?..." they both ask at the same time, Eriol sigh before he gave the last sentence
"We kiss, that's all" he ended the sentence blushing really hard
His two friends look at each other then laugh real hard...
"My, my, our Eriol has finally over come his last girl friend and found another one, isn't that nice Drake, pal?" Mark tap Drake's back but didn't respond to it. This made Eriol and Mark look at him "Drake?"
"I too have a confession to make, guys I am starting to go out with Juliet" he confesses, looking down
This time it was Eriol's turn to laugh loud "Since when?" he asks
"Just last night" he honestly reply
"Geez, what's up with last night and this early morning? Anyways I too need to say something to you guys as well..." Mark started to walk a little faster
"What? Don't say that you and Kristine has stop going out?" Drake said quite surprised
"Of course not, and hopefully it won't. Me and Kristine are like a couple for weeks now, anyway that is not what I meant. If we don't hurry up we'll going to be late" he reply while running towards the corridor to their room
"Hey wait up" Eriol said as he and his other friend runs towards the same direction.
Back to the Hiiragizawa manor, Tomoyo is in her room reading the song book Eriol gave her.
"So this is the song Tomoko failed to finish. Too bad, it seems to be a very lovely song"
Tomoyo walk towards her veranda and look at the garden. She began to sing the song which she has already memorized
"I know
that your hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your
words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that
easily
I acted so
distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was
listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your
tears cause I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered as you
walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain,
when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the
answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to
depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart
Though a
thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to
you
Crossing over the time
And distance holding you, suspended
on silver wings
And a
thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradel you
Making
all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever"
Tomoyo sigh and look at the black cat "Well that's it. Nothing more..." she disappointedly said
"So what are you planning to do now?" he ask
Tomoyo didn't answer for a moment, she is thinking about her dream last night
"True to myself..." she whispers, Spinnel look at her "Tomoko san said that it's up to me on how I am going to finish the song...I think-I think I get the idea of what she means..."
"You know, I think the song is complete, what else is missing?" Spinnel change to his true form and walk towards the raven girl
"The present, it's missing the present" Tomoyo took out her lap tap and began to type words as she repeatedly sung the song.
'Good luck mistress' then Spinnel went down to the kitchen and prepared something
'I know I can do this, I know I can save Tomoko san, and I know I won't let Eriol fail his expectations on me'
It was already 12:00 pm when Tomoyo realized what time it is
"Oh no! Spinnel, why didn't you remind me of the time? Eriol will be furious" Tomoyo said as she runs down to the kitchen but she was surprised when she saw Spinnel carrying the lunch box.
Tomoyo raise an eye brow "You cook?" she ask unbelievably
"Sometimes" he reply then sweat drop when he saw Tomoyo looking at him with bright shinning eyes "What?"
"I just didn't think that you could cook...Spinnel Sun, you're really amazing. You and Kero are really different" Then Tomoyo took the lunch box from Spinnel and run towards the main door. Spinnel followed her and retorted...
"Of course, there is always been a big difference between me and that stupid Keroberos"
Tomoyo who is still wearing white dress stop and look down to her feet
"What's wrong?" Spinnel asked in his true form
"It's no use, it's already 12:10, I'll never make it to Eriol's university in just 5 minutes..." Tomoyo sigh
Spinnel seeing this step out of the manor and look at Tomoyo
"Hop in; I'll give you a ride there. I don't think I could stand seeing my new mistress in distress"
"Sorry" Then Tomoyo sat on Spinnel's body gracefully
"Hold tight" then after a few seconds they flew into the air, they both felt the gentle breeze running to their spine
"I never thought that I'll be able to fly in the sky again" she exclaims
"Well glad you enjoy them" then Spinnel speed up to the university
Meanwhile, Eriol is patiently waiting at the same spot he and Tomoyo ate lunch when he suddenly felt her guardian's presence. He look up to see Tomoyo jumping 7th feet away from Spinnel. Knowing this Eriol reach his hands and catch her falling angel
"Do me a favor, please don't do that again" as he kiss Tomoyo on her forehead, she giggles
"I thought it would be a cool entrance" she reasoned out "Anyway, sorry for being late, I didn't see the time while I am busily working on the lyrics"
"Don't worry about it. Come on I am starving let's eat"
Then the tree of them sat near the pine tree, while they were eating Eriol remember what Tomoyo said earlier
"Hey, you said you were working on the lyrics right?" he saw her nods her head "So what happened?"
"I have already made 2 additional stanzas but strange, in every word I wrote feels like I am getting really weak. As if it is eating my energy" she explained
"I know, I also felt that when I am trying to composed the next notes too last night" Eriol drink the his tea and refill it
"So is it normal?" She ask again
"Maybe...but in anyway don't over do it, okay" Eriol then took her hands and kiss it "I really don't want you to stress out things like that" Tomoyo giggles
"Don't worry, I won't"
Spinnel who is sleeping besides them and pretending that he is not there for the two heard some familiar voices
"Hey isn't that Eriol?" May ask. Juliet, Mark, Drake and Kristine look at what May is pointing and smirk
Mark runs towards them "I know that Tomoyo is Eriol's girl now but I can't believe that they could really be as cute couple as they are now" he tease
Tomoyo blush and look away so did Eriol
"I am really happy for you guys" Kristine said "me and Mark will support your affair till the end"
"You and Drake?" Tomoyo ask quite confused
"Yes, you see the day you and Juliet had an accident, I kinda dumbly said I like her, so here we are" Mark reply blushing
"Oh, that's so sweet, how about you Drake?" Tomoyo look at him but Eriol is the one who answered it
"Drake and Juliet are going out now. Think they've just confess their feelings last night" Eriol outburst.
"Wow, is that true?" Tomoyo saw Drake blush really red and Juliet trying to say something "Yes?" she ask
"Since all of you know that me and Drake are going out and we've been friends since we're in High School, Drake I'd be really glad to be your girl friend" she proclaim.
Everyone in there were shock, surprised then everyone cheers, even Spinnel look up at them and said to himself 'kids'
Everyone continue eating their lunch every one is chatting to one another, and Juliet decided to straight things up with Tomoyo
"Hey, what you just heard really came from my heart. Don't think like I am just using Drake to get Eriol from you" Juliet said looking straight to her eyes
Tomoyo smiles, "I know, so may be this time we could be really friends now, right?" Tomoyo smile at her while she is offering her hands
"No problem" as she gladly accept the truce and became permanent friends with her rival.
After the long confessions that had happened everything is different now, Tomoyo and Spinnel went back to the Hiiragizawa manor and while she was waiting for Eriol to come back she decided to continue making the song in her when the phone rings.
"Hello, Hiiragizawa manor, may I help you" she politely greeted
"Hello, Tomoyo chan?" a familiar voice answer from the other line
"Oka sama is that you?" Tomoyo's voice were quite shaking, her eyes are forming some tears. Spinnel over heard this and look at the young raven "How are you? I miss you mother, where are you know, mother?" she asks immediately.
"Tomoyo chan, dear I am just fine, and how about you? Are you treated well there? But don't worry everything is ok now..." Sonomi on the other line is also crying
"Mother I am just okay, I'm currently working at Hiiragizawa manor, Eriol own's the place and he is really nice. Mom I have lots to tell you li..." she was cut off by her mother
"Not today Tomoyo chan, but don't worry after 3 weeks everything will be back to normal." Sonomi proclaims
"Normal? What do you mean mother?" Tomoyo wipe away her tears and listen attentively
"I got the company back and those crooks were rotten to prison now. Tomoyo did you get what I mean? You could go back to Japan again and we will see each other again, isn't that great?" Tomoyo over hearing this can't believe that this is really happening to her. A part of her is glad because her mother has gain back her pride but on the other hand, it hurts for her to think that she is going to leave her friends here, leave her Eriol behind... "Moshi-moshi, Tomoyo chan are you still there?"
"Gomennasai, Oka sama. Hai, I am still here" Tomoyo's voice is not as lively as they were and Spinnel knows it.
"So don't forget now, 3 weeks from now okay. And say hello to Hiiragizawa for me okay honey, bye" and Sonomi hung up the phone
"Bye" Tomoyo too hung up the phone and walk back to her bed
"Mistress Tomoyo?" Spinnel worriedly ask,
Tomoyo look at the feline cat besides him "Sorry to make you worry Spinnel, I'm...fine." After saying those words Tomoyo pick up her lap top again and continue writing the lyrics
"If you say so" And Spinnel just lay besides her
After a few more hours Eriol has finally come back home
"Spinnel, Tomoyo, I'm back" Eriol saw Tomoyo coming down and fly towards him
"Welcome back" She said hugging him, Eriol is quite confuse but it's okay
"So something happened?" Eriol ask hugging Tomoyo back
"Nothing really, except that mother just called a few hours ago" but before Eriol could ask about what her mother say Tomoyo immediately shot another topic "By the way, I have already finished the song, we could practice it and perform the ritual later"
"Is that so, okay, just let me change and after dinner we could do that" he said kissing her fore head
"Sure and go to the dinning hall immediately I have prepared a very a very delicious meal for everyone" then Tomoyo let go of Eriol and walk towards the kitchen
"Did something happen here, Spinnel Sun?" Eriol ask as he took Spinnel to his arms
"You better just ask her yourself master"
After dinner, all the cleaning Tomoyo, Spinnel was just about to go to the music room when Nakuru arrive home
"Welcome back Nakuru" Tomoyo took her coat and hung it on the wall
"Hello, sorry I am late. Our café is on full today, Master call me so I came here as fast as I could so here I am." Nakuru said still catching her breath
"It's that your back here safe, so could all of you came in here now?" It was Eriol leaning on the music room door
The three creatures went inside and saw Eriol in his magic suit and staff. Automatically, the two guardians change to their true form
"Are you ready Tomoyo?" Eriol said as he sat down at the bench of the piano
"Yes, let us begin"
When Eriol began to play the piano, Tomoyo made her way to sing while the two guardians help the two by using their power to create balance and to record it,
"I

for me, I'll write you letters"
I could see how you stand
with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt

Anger might have been the answer
What
if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm
stroing enough to know it's not too late
Cause
a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to
you
Even though we can't see
I know they are reaching you,
suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words

They'll hold you forever
Oh
a thousand words (a thousand words)
Have never been spoken (ohh

They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home, (carry you
home) and into my arms
Suspended on silver wings (on silver
wings!)
And a thousand words (ohh)
Call out through the ages
(call through the ages!)
They'll cradel you (ohh yeah)
Make all
of the lonely years to lonely days (lonely days)
They'll hold you
forever.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh a thousand words"
