Chapter 13: Till we meet again
Out of the kitchen door, the two Hiiragizawa guardians are silently watching the raven girl making their break fast
"She's sad" a female voice commented
"I know, I can feel her bright aura almost totally gone. As if in everyday she spent here starting last night is eating it away" Spinnel said
Kaho is walking towards the dinning room for breakfast and can't help but to see and heard what the two guardians are doing, but she decided not to do anything for now
After a few more minutes Eriol came down from his room, all dressed up to go to school. He saw Tomoyo preparing the dish and sit down
"Good Morning Eriol" Kaho greeted, the three creatures look at them
"There is nothing good in the morning when you say it" Eriol said harshly, but Kaho didn't seems to mind it
Eriol was about to dig some food, when he remember something about Tomoyo. Everything flash back to him., from the day Tomoyo came to England, where she first brought him his lunch, the accident, the Tomoko's Sonatas, their confessions, their fist kiss, the day they've won their band, and the night he found out about Tomoyo leaving him. It took a minute before he realized he was staring at Tomoyo
"I-Is there something on my face?" she awkwardly ask, this made Eriol come to his senses
"Nothing" he shortly reply and stood up from his chair "I have to go now, I just remembered that Drake ask me to come to school early today" But before Eriol could walkout, Nakuru call him
"Master, how about your breakfast? Won't you get hungry in school?" She ask
"I can buy some sandwich in our cafeteria when I get there"
That's all and Eriol left the manor without bidding farewell to her
'I have to do something for her too late' he thought
Meanwhile back at the dinning room, Nakuru too prepared her things before going to work.
'I better get start preparing all my things' Tomoyo though while cleaning the table, while Kaho is drinking her tea...
'I have to do something for this too.'
In Eriol's university, everyone is gathering in the yard with the wisteria petals falling above
"What's going on" Eriol ask when he saw his friends from the crowd
"Oh Morning Eriol, Man you will going to believe this" Mark said with huge eyes
"What?" he answered not really interested
"A business man came here and then the dean announce that the he will answer all the budget all the things we will spend on the festival" May informed
"He?" he ask raising his eyebrow
"Yeah, I think his name is Toukiya Daidouji, which reminds me of Tomoyo" Drake said while scratching the back of his head
"Toukiya huh" was the only word he said
Meanwhile back in the manor, it was already 11:30 pm. Nakuru has already gone for work, and only her. Kaho and Spinnel is left in the house.
"Tomoyo, what are you doing, it really smells delicious?" Kaho ask
"Oh, I am making Eriol's lunch. I have separated some of this for your lunch teacher. Spinnel can serve it to you if you don' mind. I will just deliver this to Eriol and I promise I'll be back as much as possible." Tomoyo politely reply
"Oh, I see. Hey you know I really think you and Eriol can be a really cute couple" Kaho commented while playing with the apple in the table "It was faith that leads you two together here you know"
Tomoyo look at her with uncertain expression "Yes, I think so too. But it was also destined that we should never be together" she reason going back to what she is doing
"But are you satisfied at what destiny is pulling you into, even though you know that both of you don't deserve this are you still going to follow?" Kaho ask looking at her petite former student "You know it took me a while before I realize that I am just playing with my dreams, pulling someone with me at the same time hurting someone too"
"I am just an ordinary person; I don't have the power to change my destiny unlike Sakura chan or the others" Then Tomoyo walk out of the kitchen carrying the lunch box leaving her teacher behind
"Tomoyo I am sorry but it is still early..." and Kaho followed Tomoyo out of the kitchen and saw that she was saying something to Spinnel before leaving the manor.
Spinnel saw her and fly towards her shoulder, "Miss Kaho I've heard what the two of you are talking about may I know what is your real purpose my lady?"
"I am sorry Spinnel but I cannot. If I did that something unexpected might happed that will change the history" Then she took the black cat from her shoulder to her arms and walk towards the garden "You know I think Tomoyo is feeding you too much. You're getting heavy, Spinnel"
"I agree with you on that, but what can I do I am a growing cat in this false form" then he heard Kaho giggle then laugh "HEY WHAT"S FUNNY LADY!!??"
On the way to Eriol's university, Tomoyo is thinking something and was lost in her thoughts
'What am I going to do now? I can't let him return to his hard temper self. I promise to bring him back and I will that's before I go back to Japan'
Tomoyo who is still busy negotiating with her mind didn't realize someone ahead of her and bump into him
"I am sorry" she mutters immediately
"Tomoyo Daidouji?" the young man asks
"Yes, who are you?" Tomoyo ask picking herself up with the young man's assistance
"Excuse me with my rudeness my lady. I am Toukiya Daidouji, the lawyer of you mom and also you cousin" he introduce himself
"Oh, I see it nice to meet you too. May I know what you are doing here in England?" she asks again while walking to the path to Eriol's university.
"Well I'm running some errand for your mother here in England and at the same time to check things about you" he said "Would you like me to carry those for you?" he offered but Tomoyo tightly hold the bag
"Thank you but its okay. "
Soon they have reached the walls of University. Accidentally Eriol is passing the window corridor when he saw Tomoyo with a young, fine man, laughing and talking as if they are a couple. Eriol felt jealous but his face didn't show any reaction
"Thank you Mr. Toukiya, I'll be meeting Eriol inside like what we usually do. Thank you very much for walking me here" she bow
"Hey no problem!" then Toukiya left the scene "Say hi to your friend for me, okay"
It was already 12:25 in Tomoyo's wrist watch; it won't be long before Eriol take his lunch from her arms then she remember what happened earlier in the manor
'How am I going to say this to you, Eriol when you are avoiding me? What am I going to do to make you listen to me and realize that this is not my choice either' she said as she close her amethyst and a small tear roll down her angelic face
"Miss Tomoyo Daidouji?" a feminine voice asks behind her. Tomoyo look back and immediately saw Juliet
"Good After noon Miss Juliet, what are you doing here? I thought your lunch is 12:30 and it is still 12:27" Tomoyo politely ask looking at her watch
"Oh about that, you see our lunch has been re schedule just this morning" then Juliet walks towards her "some I'll guide you to where Eriol is"
"Thank you"
Meanwhile Eriol is sitting in one of the branches of Wisteria, his stomach is growling
'Why won't I just go to the cafeteria and grab some lunch rather than to wait for Tomoyo?' he thought then remembers what happen earlier when he saw Tomoyo walking with that guy. After a few more minutes he heard someone call him so he look down
"Eriol!" a shy feminine voice called
"Yeah?" he ask
"Uhm, I can't help to notice and hear your stomach growling so I decided to share my lunch with you" her face blushing.
"Thanks" he said jumping down; the girl was really amaze "Is there something on my face? Why are you blushing so hard Miss?"
The girl shook her head "I'm Mandy, Mandy Tailor. And I am one of your great fans" she said
"I see" he mutters 'I forgot I am one of the most popular guys here in the university' then Eriol look at her "So Mandy right? Can I call you by that name?" he saw the girl nod "what do you want?"
"Well I was just wondering if you want to share some of my lunch with me" she said looking down
"Well I am waiting for someone but I guess it wouldn't hurt to taste some" he answer
They were about to sit down when Mandy looses her balance and accidentally pull Eriol's sleeves that made him too looses his balance...and fall; Eriol is on top of Mandy who is blushing really hard. Then he saw her eyes closing. Eriol is just starring at her, thinking whether he should or not. But it was too late to decide anyway...
Juliet and Tomoyo were chatting and laughing while looking for Eriol when Juliet saw the scene.
"Tomoyo, I don't think Eriol is here, we should go somewhere else" Juliet pull Tomoyo's arm away
"Huh, ok if you say...so" Tomoyo was about to turn when she saw from the end of her eyes, that dark-eye glasses boy. Being an expert observant, this is already her talent; A natural skill. Her amethyst eyes froze when she saw them.
Eriol felt a very familiar aura and immediately shot his glance to the origin. Cold sweat began to form in his face. HE saw the very last thing he wants to see, Tomoyo's tears of sadness.
He saw her carrying a basket, 'It must be his lunch' he thought. Then he felt the girl move a little, so he pulls himself up and help the girl.
"Sorry bout that" and Mandy ran off.
Eriol look back to where Tomoyo is, but she is no longer there only Juliet who is looking angry at him. She walks immediately towards him
"Eriol what was that?" Juliet ask
"Nothing that you should worry about" he reply
"Eriol? It's not like you to do that." She said
"..."
"I know we've never been really good friends but Tomoyo is different. Something might have happened between the two of you but you shouldn't give up on her that easily."
"You don't anything, so stay out of this" he retort
"Perhaps, but you should try to take her place too. I know she is leaving us soon that is why you should try to be more n9ice to her. After all she has done for you, at least show her your gratitude"
"Don't you think I've already thought about that? But what can I do in just 2 weeks?" HE reason out
"Well starter, you should run after her" Juliet said smiling and giving him the basket.
Meanwhile Tomoyo is still crying when someone beep at her. She stops and saw Toukiya waving at her from the window of a black limousine, she immediately wipe away her tears.
"Oh hi Toukiya, what's up?" she greeted politely
"Tomoyo we have to hurry. My Twin Brother Toumo call me and said you mom is in the hospital" He said as he open the door
"What?! But..." Tomoyo began to hesitate
"We have no time, we'll drop at the Hiiragizawa manor for a short while to take your things then will leave England immediately" Toukiya explained
"But..."
"Tomoyo we have no time, it might be too late" He said
"Wakatta"
Meanwhile Eriol has just arrived at the gate and saw her entering the car,
"TOMOYO WAIT!!"
Tomoyo look back to see who it was,
'Eriol' she thought smiling but...
"Miss Tomoyo?!" Toukiya ask Tomoyo's smiling face fade away to sadness and went inside.
The car immediately starts moving just before Eriol could get near them. Eriol began to stop running, "Is she still mad? But she smile when I call her"
Inside the car...
"Toukiya, I need a piece of paper and a pen" she politely asks. The young man gave her a box of stationary. "Thank you" then she began to write a letter in Japanese characters.
It wasn't long for then to arrived in the Hiiragizawa manor. Tomoyo stop when they reach the front door.
"Wait here for me, I'll be back in just 30 minutes" she informed. Toukiya and the others nod
The moment she enters the manor, Spinnel greet her
"Welcome back Tomoyo" Ha flew towards her
"Spinnel, some people are waiting for me outside so you better not fly around" she said putting the cat down
"You're going somewhere?" he ask
"I am going back to Japan today" she confess then she walk straight to her room
"What? But I though your flight won't be until next-next week?" he following her
"There has been a change of plan you see and..." she was cut off by Kaho
"Did he know about this?" Kaho was standing in her door. Tomoyo didn't answer "Do you need some help?"
Spinnel hearing this shot a death glare to the red hair woman
"It would be appreciated but there's nothing much to pack since I have already done some it earlier" Tomoyo began to take all the remaining clothes out of the closset
"I see" as Kaho bagan to fold it neatly
"Miss Tomoyo, at least tell us why you are leaving us so sudden. Let us know the reason so we will also know what to say when young master returns.
Tomoyo look back at the black cat after zipping close her luggage. She took him in her arms and hug him
"Tell him this message for me okay" she saw the black cat nod "Tell him that I'll always be the person he use to know and that I'm very sorry" she then put Spinnel down again and walk towards her math teacher
"Oh Miss Mizuki" Tomoyo hugs her tightly and Kaho just let her and return back the embrace
"Let me see you off the door" Tomoyo nods
The door in the front gate of Hiiragizawa manor open The man waiting for Tomoyo took her bags and put them inside the limousine. She saw Toukiya patiently waiting for her outside the open door, but Tomoyo still need to do one more thing...
"Miss Mizuki, can you please give this letter to Eriol for me" she said giving her the purple envelope
"Of course, Take care Tomoyo, have a safe trip back to Japan. And regards to your mother" Kaho bids her. Spinnel in her arms also slightly raised her paws to wave
"Good bye Miss Mizuki, Bye Spinnel"
Then out of nowhere Ruby moon's voice came
"Hey what's going on? Who are this people and where are you going Tomoyo chan?" she ask
"Tomoyo runs towards her and hugs her, "I'll be leaving England today Nakuru san, tell good bye to Eriol for me okay"
"What no way, But..." she tried to stop her but she heard Spinnel meow and saw him shook his head "Okay, take care then Tomoyo chan"
Tomoyo nods her head "Sure"
The limousine drove to the air port
"Are we going to leave things like this?" Spinnel ask a bit worried
"But what can we do?" Nakuru said giving up
"I've come this far to fix the things I've ruined and I wont let this to just end this way" Kaho said.
The two guardians look at her wondering what she's talking about
"There is something we three can do. First is to fly towards Eriol's university" Kaho explained
"But we are not allow to use magic in public" Nakuru warn
"Eriol and Tomoyo's happiness or the stupid rule?" Kaho ask
"Fine" the two agrees
The two change in their true form and Eriol knows about it because he can sense it
In Eriol's university...
'What are those two up to?' he ask himself then he felt that the aura are growing nearer and nearer and before he realize it the three creatures are waving at her in one of the branches not too near yet too far form his position.
Eriol began to send telepathy to the three
"What are you 3 doing here in your true form?" he ask in her serious manner "didn't I told you to.." he was interrupted by...
"Before you scold us, you need to know something" Kaho inform
"Shut up woman" he shot
"Master, we can explain" Ruby began
"Then start with it, I still have lots to do" he said impatiently. He knows that this might be really very important it made his guardians and Kaho came all the way there with magic
"Master, Tomoyo is leaving Japan today" Spinnel said
Eriol stood up from his chair, everyone look at him
"What do you mean? I just saw here earlier?" then the scene flash back to him: Tomoyo smiling then turning back to sad face before she went inside the car
"Eriol?" Mark ask in the real world?
"Eriol we have no time, let's go to the airport now" Kaho said but Eriol is still not moving
'No Tomoyo leaving Japan, it's too soon. I haven't done what is need to be done' he thought
"Eriol?" Juliet and their other friends call him
"Eriol?" the other three call from telepathy
"SIRRRR!!!" Eriol call out really loud, this made everybody shut up
"Y-yes Mr. Hiiragizawa?" the professor ask quite nervous
"I 'm not feeling well, may I be excuse for the day?" Ha ask politely. Everyone began to make noise
"Well, I guess it's okay since you just finish your exams last week right?" the professor answer
"Thank you sir" and with that Eriol left the room but he also heard Juliet say something to him before he step out
"Good luck Eriol!" Juliet cheers
""Thanks Juliet!" then he disappears
"What was that?"" Drake ask her
"I'll tell you guys later" then the class went back to normal
"That was slow?" Kaho tease
"Where to?" Eriol ask impatiently
"To Airport of course" The red woman sarcastically said
"Then let's go"
In the airport, it was already time Tomoyo look back hoping to see someone, but no one
"Let's go" Toukiya said and she nods her head
They were now inside the plane, Tomoyo look at the mirror with a very sad expression
"You okay my lady?" Toukiya ask
"Yeas, I'm just thinking a lot of things. Sorry for making you worry" she said
"Not at all, you should rest now" He said
"I'll try" then when Tomoyo look back in the mirror she saw what she has been looking for. Those uniform, those glasses, those dark blue hair, it's him. The one she's been longing to see before she left England, Eriol.
Eriol saw Tomoyo looking at her in the window, and then he tried to jump over the gates but the guard stops him.
"Wait, I need to talk to someone in that plane. It's very important" Eriol said trying to push his way
"I'm sorry sir, but it's my job to stop people from coming there. You see that plane is about to leave in just 5 minutes" the guard explained while doing his best to stop him
"Please sir just 2-3 minutes. Just give me minute" he demand loosing his temper
Tomoyo seeing the commotion stood up from her seat and walk to the cock pit only to meet the attendant
"What can I do for you miss?" the woman politely asks
"I need to go out for just a minute" she said
"Oh I'm very sorry, but the plane will leave in just 5 minutes now" she explained
"But..." Tomoyo look outside the window and Eriol was still fighting his way to her "Please just for a minute?" she begs
"I'm really very sorry but as you can see even if I let you go, you won't be able to get any farther because the lather has been already removed and it'll take another 5 minutes to take one and that will make the flight delay" the woman said but seeing Tomoyo made her guilty.
"I'm sorry, I'm going back to my seat now" Tomoyo walk back to her seat disappointed and look outside the mirror. 'I'm sorry Eriol, really I'm very sorry' as tears began to form in her amethyst eyes again.
Eriol saw that the plane is leaving and also he is quite very tired so he stops and just look at her, leaving England, leaving his family and leaving him behind
'And I didn't even had a chance to say I'm sorry' he said as he too walk away back to his companions
And as the plane finally take it's off, she finally said her final words...
"Till we meet again..."
