Chapter 2: Attack
Tomoyo carefully made her way to the centre of the stage were the mic stood. Her heels are killing her now. As much as she
was trained to wear them, she still doesn't fancy them. Her eyes wandered around the crowd. A girl about her age
walkedup to the stage, carrying a lovely bouquet of red roses. Her short auburn hair bobbed lightly and her green eyes
shining with admiration. She bowed down and raised her hands holding the flowers. Tomoyo doesn't like being bowed down, because for her, everybody's equal, whatever your status maybe.
"Princess, my name is Sakura Kinomoto and I'm very honoured to present you these roses. Happy birthday and I hope
you'll like the flowers." The girl named Sakura nervously handed her the roses.
Tomoyo smiled and sat downon the stage. Everybody was surprised with her action. Two huge emerald eyes stared back at her.
"Thank you Sakura-chan…ohhhhhh! I do like them very much!" she smiled brightly at the girl. Slowly
Sakura flashed her own lovely smile. They stood up and shook hands. Sakura was about to leave when Tomoyo called her
back.
"Matte Sakura-chan…I don't have any flowers to give you, so I hope these will do…" she pulled her two pearl
decorated chopsticks, which made her lovely raven tresses fall down, and handed them to the girl. Sakura was so surprised.
"Please accept them as my token of appreciation. Don't use them for eating ok?" she giggled while the auburn
haired girl remained speechless. In an impulse, Sakura hugged Tomoyo which, surprised the people and of course, Tomoyo
herself. Everybody's hearts were softened while witnessing a new friendship blossoming right before their very eyes. After
Sakura left the stage, Tomoyo once again faced the people of her land.
"I'm really happy that you're allhere with me to celebrate my 14th birthday." She began.
"Even after all these commotions and woes with the war against the neighbouring land, you still spared me some of your
time which I'm truly grateful. My birthday wish is that this war end soon and peace will reign in our land once more."
One by one the townspeople applauded and with a simple hand gesture, the buffet table was opened for the people.
Eriol doesn't believe on anything, and angels are included on that. But seeing the princess for the first time, and as
she gracefully made her way in the front of the stage, he almost did. Here serene face glowing, making him wish he was
in front so he could see her better. He suddenly forgot he's starving. He tried to move forward but to no avail.
"Hey Eriol! Hey what are you doing? Hey- HEY!" Nakuru yelled.
"I – uh… I want to go in the front." He replied truthfully. He was suddenly aware of his face heating up.
"Wanna see the princess up close then aye?" his cousin teased him while nudging him on his side.No! He couldn't
admit that he's attracted to the princess! He just couldn't!
"No. Why would I like someone rich, spoilt and powerful? Come on Nakuru, who are you kidding?" he flatly fired
at his cousin. Dark memories crept its way to his mind once again. Nakuru's expression changed. But before Eriol could
notice, it changed back as quickly as it came.
"Demo, maybe she's different you know…I mean – OH MY GOD!" She was staring at the stage surprised…
Gobsmacked. Eriol followed her gaze and found the princess sitting on the stage comfortably, while talking to an auburn
haired girl. Princess Tomoyo received roses. She suddenly pulled the chopsticks from her hair, freeing her raven tresses.
Eriol watched mesmerised.
"Eriol? Eriol! Hey – Yoohoo!" Nakuru was already clicking her fingers. Eriol jumped slightly and looked at Nakuru blankly.
"The buffet's open now, I thought you're starving?" her dark brown eyes staring at his own azure ones, inquiringly.
"Uh – I am…ok I'm going to get some food"
"And by the way, the princess was not in the stage for quite some time now you know…you looked really funny standing
there alone looking at nothing." Nakuru giggled. Eriol felt his face burn.
Everybody was eating peacefully. Laughter was heard from everyone. It was a blissful night. "Nakuru, where's Spinel?
We better feed him now." Eriol said while his mouth full.
"Er…wasn't he with you? He was on your shoulder awhile ago… Don't tell me-"
"NO WAY!" as realisation hit them both.
Even though Spinel doesn't really do anything, they we're still both fond of the feline. They started looking for Spinel.
Eriol was about to yell his name when he bumped into someone.
"Watch it!" he irritably shouted. He fell on his butt and it hurt. He stood up dusting himself and found a pair of amethyst
eyes looking at him surprised. 'It can't be!' He thought.
"Ano…Gomenasai. I didn't see you there, I was just looking for the owner of this -" Princess Tomoyo started explaining
when she was cut off.
"SPINEL! THERE YOU ARE! WHOA PRINCESS TOMOYO!" Nakuru gasped in surprised. They were about to
bow down when Tomoyo stopped them.
"Wow Spinel likes you. He doesn't normally sit on people's head or shoulder unless he likes you or trusts you.
This is great! Er, by the way, why are you wearing a commoner's outfit?" Nakuru asked. She was intrigued. But no matter
what the princess wears, she still looks magnificent.
"Ahh well, I don't want to be an outcast. I don't want to stand out, I want to blend it which worked well if you asked me."
Asweet smile on her face while looking at the fidgeting Eriol. Nakuru quickly linked hands with Tomoyo.
"Princess, my name is Nakuru and this is my cousin Eriol Hii -" Before Nakuru could finish, they heard an explosion
followed by screams and cries. "Oh no! We're under attack!" a villager cried. Tomoyo watched in horror while a kid
was ran over by a horse.
"TOMOYO! TOMOYO!" She looked behind her and saw her mother in a carriage calling her. Soldiers from the
neighbouring land started running for them.
"Here Princess! Here!" Eriol dragged her.
"But my mother! She's calling me!" She cried out. She's witnessing how her city crumbles. Fire engulfing the trees,
thebuffet tableand her palace. It was not a good sight.
"Tomoyo-san! You dropped this!" Nakuru ran back to retrieve the charm bracelet and gave it to Tomoyo.
"Oh thank you Nakuru-san! This is important for me! Ahhh Nakuru-san behind you!"
A soldier was about to hit Nakuru with his gun when Tomoyo pushed her away. She received the blow instead and fell into unconsciousness.
"TOMOYO!" Eriol cried. But their townspeople were dragging him and Nakuru to safety. Their princess was wearing a
commoner's outfit, thus nobody recognised her. Nobody came back to her rescue.
