Memoirs Of A Fallen Man


Chapter 11:

The Return


As Morning turned to Mid-afternoon Tomoyo wandered the castle halls talking to the Mistress. Somehow she found out that her 'prisoners' had escaped. Tomoyo hoped that the Mistress wasn't too smart and could put one and one together. "How could this have happened?" The Mistress hissed. Tomoyo shook her head. "I haven't a clue, were any of the prisoners skilled with a sword, unless the guards were too lazy to search them." Tomoyo said as the door for the ball room opened revealing people dancing and music playing. "Perhaps." The Mistress said slowly looking to Tomoyo under her hooded face. "But for now we should have fun. Eat, Drink, be married." She laughed. Tomoyo smiled and bowed to the Mistress.

"I thank you, My Mistress for your lovely ball for me." Tomoyo said. The Mistress nodded her hood head. "I am just happy that you can come back to us, and I am hoping you are staying." She said. "Yes, I haven't thought of it, but I am sure that I'll be staying." Tomoyo smiled. Tomoyo wore a black ball dress that fell to the floor and shimmered when she moved and the straps were at her shoulder showing off her diamond necklace. "I hope you can dance tonight, your breasts seem to attract the males." The Mistress laughed.

Tomoyo blushed looked down at her chest that was busted up and held down tightly. "It's an America fashion." The Mistress chuckled. Tomoyo smiled and nodded with a curtsy. "My Mistress, I had forgotten something, I must check on my traveling companion for a moment and then I'll return." Tomoyo said. The Mistress nodded and Tomoyo curtsy once more and walked down the hall and headed toward Eriol chambers.

Tomoyo stopped at the door and took a breath. "Eriol?" Tomoyo said knocking lightly. Tomoyo looked down at her feet seeing a black smoke. "Eriol, are you all right?" Tomoyo said and touched the door knob and opened the door seeing the door filled with a black smoke and someone growling. Tomoyo's heart beat as she walked through the smoke opening her black papered fan and fanning away the smoke that was in her face.

"Eriol?" Tomoyo said and the growled stopping and then was a thud to the floor. Tomoyo stopped as the smoke subsided as if it were being sucked into something. "What?" Eriol asked walking threw the smoke and facing Tomoyo who closed her fan. Tomoyo waved hair blew in the air that went threw the door and she looked to Eriol who's hands were behind his back.

"There is a ball happening now, it is to welcome me back home, would you care to join us?" Tomoyo asked looking to Eriol face that seemed to had been scratched. "Later." Eriol said turning around. "Perhaps." He whispered. Tomoyo nodded. "Fine then." She said excepting the room somewhat afraid of where the growling was coming from.

Tomoyo shut Eriol door and walked back too the ball room. But she couldn't help but feel scared. What was that black smoke? It smell nothing of wood and there was no fire. Tomoyo went into the ball room with a smile and everyone bowed to there long lost princess. All the princesses that were invited looked to the young woman walking pass them with grace and her head held high as she approached The Master and Mistress.

Tomoyo bowed to them politely and turned seeing a handsome man with is hand extended. "Princess, I would to honored to have the first dance." The handsome Prince with gray eyes, long black hair that was put in a low pony tail touching his back. Tomoyo bowed to him and took his hand and he led her to the floor to a Waltz.

Tomoyo looked into his gray eyes not feeling the magical feeling like she did when she Waltzed with Eriol but she continued to dance.

Eriol sat on the edge of the balcony looking up to the stars. It was a wonderful night. Eriol could hear the push and pull of the ocean water. It calmed it raging soul somewhat. Eriol looked down hearing glasses clinking, people laughing, and music playing. "Bastards, you'd all be dead if Daidoji weren't with you." Eriol growled and then looked back up at the stars. "Sakura. Syaoran." Eriol said thinking of his dear friends once more. "Eriol?"

Eriol turned his hearing Tomoyo voice once more but she wasn't there. Eriol looked back to the star and touched his bottom lip tasting her forbidden taste that made him shiver for more and more of her. But the emotion faded quickly. Eriol stood up on the railing and went back into the room and sat down.

Tomoyo had finally went to her chamber and was sleeping but she couldn't help but hear this voice in her head that was killing her. It was enchanting, like someone was calling her. Tomoyo sat up and sighed shivering. "Tomoyo's, Eriol calling you."

Tomoyo sat up and walking out her room. "Eriol?" She whispered. Tomoyo shivered feeling the cold fall air touched her body. Tomoyo was wearing a black satin nightdress that showed her slimmed body. "His calling you."

Tomoyo walked to Eriol chambers and opened the door seeing him sitting on his bed playing with his Key making it glow. Tomoyo's whole body winced with pain for a moment. "Well, well, well." Tomoyo purred walking toward Eriol who turned around. "Daidoji?" Eriol said almost surprised seeing her awake.

"What you don't know who I am?" Tomoyo said standing in front of Eriol. Eriol looked at Tomoyo eyes. There were black. Completely black. She was possessed. "Get out of her body." Eriol growled. Tomoyo chuckled lightly. "This body doesn't please you, Eli Moon?" Tomoyo said. Eriol eyes widened and suddenly a dagger appeared in Tomoyo hand and she stabbed him in the shoulder.

Eriol fell back with Tomoyo on top of him as she pushed down the knife in the old wound that wasn't fully healed from the bandits. Eriol kicked Tomoyo off him making her hit the side of the bed. Tomoyo jumped and tried to kick Eriol but he blocked it. It was something about this style that wasn't for Tomoyo. It was ruthless and brutal. Eriol punched Tomoyo in the face knocking her down. Eriol took out her dagger and ran to her and was about to stab her in the forehead but Tomoyo suddenly screamed.

Eriol stopped. Seconds before the blade touched Tomoyo skin. Tomoyo returned to her lavender-purple. Tomoyo whimpered feeling the pain from Eriol attacks. Eriol hand shock as he looked at Tomoyo trying to stop himself from killing her. She was just possessed. A tear slid door Tomoyo face and then a blood drop fell on Tomoyo neck. Tomoyo looked to his wound that was staining his white shirt.

"Eriol." Tomoyo said touching his hand and then sitting up making him go to his knees. Tomoyo touched his arm. Eriol hissed at Tomoyo and stood backing away. Tomoyo looked at the dagger and her hand and gasped. "Oh my God." Tomoyo whispered dropping it and standing up looking at her hands. "Eriol, I-I-" Tomoyo paled even though Eriol could not tell from the night sky.

Tomoyo felt extremely dizzy and fainted. Eriol looked at her and winced at his arm. Eriol summoned his Key and used the power to heal his arm a little. Eriol walked over to Tomoyo's sleeping body and lifted her light body and walked her over to his bed and lied her down.

"This place is too dangerous." Eriol said looking to Tomoyo and then making his staff turn back into a key. "Too dangerous." He whispered to himself.

"My darling looks like Eriol might be a bit of a problem." A voice said in the darkness.

"Hmm, maybe but, this might be what were are hoping for."


The next morning Tomoyo stirred with memories that had happened last night. Tomoyo opened her eyes realizing that it wasn't a dream and she wasn't in her chambers. Tomoyo lifted her hands and looked at them. Tomoyo sat up seeing Eriol watching the sun rise. Eriol's chest was bare and his shoulder was wrapped in bandages. Tomoyo's hair danced in the wind that was blowing past the balcony curtains making this fan out.

Tomoyo got out the bed still wearing her (very hot I might add) black satin night dress. Tomoyo slowly walking to the balcony seeing Eriol looking to the sky. "Eriol?" Tomoyo said afraid to speak but she just had to. Eriol looked ahead of him now looking to the ocean. "Eriol, I am so sorry, I didn't know-I-I thought it was a dream." Tomoyo stammered feeling her hot tear streaming down her cheek. Eriol turned his head slightly.

"Stop your weeping. You needn't cloud your mind." Eriol said sharply. Tomoyo tried to stop her tears but she had never met to hurt Eriol. "I'm sorry." Tomoyo cried trying to control herself. She was a woman not a child but her emotions were getting the best of her.

Eriol turned around and looked at her tear stained face. "We have to leave this place." Eriol said walking forward Tomoyo who's face turned confused. "Why?" She said. "Why so soon?"

"Last night you were possessed by someone." Eriol exclaimed. Tomoyo gasped slightly with shock. "There something here that is too powerful for you to handle and I can't have you in danger, so we are leaving for your village, this afternoon." Eriol said. Tomoyo hair blew in the wind and touched her back and completely going back. "Do you not realize that this is my true home, I have to finish what I must do here." Tomoyo said in almost a shout.

Eriol walked up to Tomoyo and looked into her eyes. "That may be so. But you must leave this place with me, mid-afternoon." Eriol said walking pass Tomoyo who turned herself around and her hair flipped on her right shoulder and slid off and falling down her back. "Do you not listen!" Tomoyo shouted. Eriol put on his other black shirt and turned to Tomoyo vexed at her own sudden reaction. "I heard you clearly and I am telling you, as you protector: we are leaving." Eriol growled. Tomoyo sighed frustrated and rubbed her chest and whipped the tears from her face.

"Fine." Tomoyo said with anger and stormed out of Eriol chambers. Eriol watched her and she slammed the door. Eriol sighed and suddenly hating the displeasing rush of Tomoyo's aura. Eriol sighed and walked over the room closing the door seeing Tomoyo shutting her own chamber door. Eriol followed after Tomoyo. Eriol opened the door seeing Tomoyo holding a frame. Tomoyo sniffed and looked up seeing Eriol.

"I agreed to leaving, what more do you ask of me?" Tomoyo said in a shaken voice. "Nothing." Eriol said walking toward Tomoyo and sitting next to her. Eriol looked at the picture seeing the beautiful woman smiling. The painting showed everyone feature and line from her smile. It was almost like it was real. Tomoyo whipped her tears away and sighed. "This is my Mother. Sonomi." Tomoyo said looking to Eriol and then the picture. Eriol looked to Tomoyo seeing she got her smile from her Mother.

"She's beautiful isn't she? I wish I could remember her clearly. All I remember was she was the first to show me the Hall of Song." Tomoyo said softly and then looked up to Eriol. "What of you Father?" Eriol asked. Tomoyo shock her head. "I never knew him, he must have left or died, but Clow Reed is my Father now." Tomoyo smiled softly and then looked back to Eriol. "Do you know what you are?" Tomoyo asked.

Eriol didn't answer. He would have answer he was a monster but he remember what Tomoyo said to him yesterday. "You're a Diamond in the rough, and I'm a Desert Rose. Both beautiful and callous." Tomoyo said standing up. Tomoyo looked to Eriol and smiled slightly. "I don't mean to yell, I was just over come with emotion, I'm not usually this way. I'm more or less along the line of content. Calm." She said setting her Mother picture back on her night stand and opened the draw taking out the pendent that she was hiding.

"I'll wait for you at the shore." Eriol said standing up. Tomoyo nodded and with that Eriol disappeared. "Yes. A Diamond in the rough." Tomoyo whispered and headed to her bathroom to ready herself.

(Eriol's POV)

I sat at the ocean shore of the small Island. The Shadow warriors must have been called off. I looked at the water and it touch my feet. It was cold and refreshing. But my mind couldn't stray from Daidoji. She was possessed. I couldn't let her stay here. But I almost didn't want to hurt her. I am never use to these feelings of guilt, worry, concern. I gave my humanity up years ago. Why am I feeling this now?

I looked to the water as it touched my bare feet once more. Tomoyo's finally found out my she couldn't remember anything before she met Reed. But I can feel her aura shake and shiver with fear in a sense that she has to do what is to be done. I almost pity her. A Desert Rose can only kill once. But now I am a Diamond in the rough. I do not believe it to be so. I am a beast.

Who could ever love a beast? And Yet I'm beginning to remember feelings of love and happiness. I must make it stop. It killed my Family and friends. All that I had. And that kiss. I must admit it was the first time I had ever kissed a woman in my life. I killed more. I couldn't understand my actions. Tomoyo may not think me a monster, but I am. Her lips were so soft and warm against mine own lips. When I looked at her she glowed. I felt like she was trying to tell me something. She was a true goddess.

But I mustn't let these left over feeling get the best of me. I mustn't. The morning sun was high and the aura I felt, that seemed so familiar. Who was it? And the person that possessed Tomoyo knew the name I took in my youth. How?

(End Eriol's POV)

Tomoyo walked over the throne chambers after telling the Mistress and Master that she had to leave for a while once more but it wouldn't be long this time. Tomoyo walked up the flight of stairs that led to the Hall of Song. The spirits circled Tomoyo.

"Leaving I see." One said.

Tomoyo nodded.

"We hear your song were ever you go, young lady Tomoyo." said another Spirit with a smile. Tomoyo nodded once more.

Tomoyo sighed and stepped into the water and began singing for them before she left:

Win dain a lotica

En vai tu ri

Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca

En dragu a sei lain

Vi fa-ru les shutai am

En riga-lint

Eriol stood hearing the song. It couldn't have been Tomoyo it was completely different from her voice. Eriol looked up and listened intently.

Win chent a lotica

En vai tu ri

Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca

Si katigura neuver

Floreria for chesti

Si entina

La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Fontina blu cent

De cravi esca letisimo

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

De quantian

La finde reve

Win dain a lotica

En vai tu ri

Si lo ta

Fin dein a loluca

En dragu a sei lain

Vi fa-ru les shutai am

En riga-lint

To Eriol's disappointment the voice faded. It couldn't have been Tomoyo. It was a totally different voice. Eriol sighed and leaned on the tree trying to figure out who sung that song. It was like a Enchantress's spell. It didn't seem real. Eriol pushed the thought out his head.

Tomoyo looked to the spirits that were humming the song and dancing. Tomoyo bowed and left the Hall of Song and went back down the hall and gathered her things and went to the garden and walked the long way to the shore. Her mind kept pushing Eriol, Eriol, Eriol. Everything about him was in her mind. She felt weak at the thought of him. Tomoyo (try as she might) ignored her feelings. Tomoyo looked up to the sky. It was almost Mid-afternoon. She couldn't be late.

Tomoyo walked about few minutes more seeing Eriol making a sea shell floating the air. Tomoyo thought he looked like a lost little boy looking for the answer to his many question. "Eriol?" Tomoyo said walking to his side. Eriol stopped making the sea shell spin making it still in the air.

Eriol looked to Tomoyo almost like he hadn't seen her. "Are you ready?" Tomoyo asked trying to control her weakness. Eriol looked to the shell with rage. "I was born ready." He said curling his hand into a fist making the shell combust. Tomoyo winced seeing it shatter and Eriol walked over It.

Eriol summoned his staff and took out the Fly card making great large wings appear on the staff. Eriol sat on it and help Tomoyo up. For some reason Eriol looked back at the palace. It was something strange about it that made him feel like it wasn't the last time he was too see it. Tomoyo held onto Eriol waist and he moved it making it fly rapidly over the water. Tomoyo gripped Eriol waist for a moment and then relaxed looking back at her birth place.

Eriol looked ahead with the wind whipping at his face and then he remember the first time he flew over water.

Flashback

Sakura, Eriol, and Syaoran were on the roof of a abandon building in England. "Come now Eriol, you can summon The Fly." Sakura said with a smile. Syaoran scoffed. "Last time he broke his arm."

"Ah, maybe so, but my magic wasn't as strong then." Eriol called out his staff it was quiet long for his height of a nine years old. "Fly, guide me across the sky." Eriol chanted and his staff touched the card and huge white wings appeared on the staff. Eriol mounted it. "You coming or not. I haven't all day." Eriol said with a smile. Sakura giggled and got on behind Eriol holding onto him. Syaoran blushed and got on as well not wanting Sakura to think him a coward. Eriol pushed off the ground and guided across the sky.

Syaoran closed his eyes to a moment and then looked. They were nearing the Calvin Harbor where all the seagulls and birds flew. Eriol smiled as he waved to a bird. Sakura and Syaoran 'ooh'ed at the sight of the bay water. "Let's get lower." Syaoran called and Eriol dived down making his friends scream with excitement and fear. Eriol's shoe touched the water a little and Sakura looked at her reflection. "You're a natural flyer." Sakura comments with a smile. Eriol grinned. "I would so fast but I don't want to do too much."

Syaoran blushed. "Let's head back, it's almost time for tea. I can't wait to go back to Japan in the summer." Syaoran said but mumbled the last part about Japan.

"Alright, I'm turning, hold on." Eriol called.

(End flashback)

Eriol looked at the black sparrow wings on his staff. He remembered at a time they were white as a shining pearl. Eriol slowed down as he neared the shore. "I must get to Father." Tomoyo whispered to herself touching her pendent. "What was that?" Eriol said. Tomoyo looked up to him and then back to the water. "It was nothing." Tomoyo said so Eriol could hear. Eriol slowed a little more and finally got to the shore. Tomoyo got her things and bolted off seeing the ship had been tied down.

Tomoyo ran and ran as fast as she could go. Eriol watched her and then summoned the Dash card. Not wanting to use the legs of the Cheetah once more after what had happened last. Eriol ran after Tomoyo. Tomoyo stopped seeing the path she took to gather her herbs. Eriol stopped pushing up dirt and looked ahead seeing Tomoyo walking to her village. Everyone who was able bodied was rebuilding the village. She loved that about her people. They may fall off the ladder but they started over and climbed once more.

"YAMA, KYO, MISS TOMOYO IS HERE!" A village Woman shouted. Yama ran as best as he could and Kyo ran to her friend in full speed and hugged her tightly. "I'm glad you're here, Mr. Reed is getting worst." Kyo said. Eriol walking pass a group of kids eating what food they had left. Eriol looked at there faces of misery and sadness. "Look Yasa, it's Mr. Eriol." A little boy said all the kids smiled and got up and ran after Eriol and followed him.

"Is Tomoyo-sama going to be alright?" A little girl asked. Eriol looked down at her as he walking passed a well. "Yes." Eriol said and walking toward Tomoyo who as crying. "Oh my God, I forgot, I can't use this herb on open wounds." Tomoyo cried. Kyo whipped Clow's sweating face. "It's infected." Kyo said. Yama gave Tomoyo some water. It was beginning to become dark.

Eriol looked at Clow. He could feel his pain somewhat. His other body. Clow went into a fit of coughs that made Tomoyo tears fall even faster. Eriol knew that Tomoyo was strong for a woman but just as weak as one too. "Tomoyo, why not heal him as you did me." Kyo suggested. "Heal, you can do that on command?" Yama said. Tomoyo nodded. "This pendent has a power, I don't know what it is but I have to try." Tomoyo said looked to the wound and then putting her hand over it and she closed her eyes.

Eriol knew she couldn't do it now. She was too hell bent on her Father dying then healing him and restoring his strength. Tomoyo hand shuck. "Relax Tomoyo-sama." Kyo whispered and then looked up to Eriol who just watched. 'I want to heal my Father.' Thought Tomoyo in a plea. "Pleading won't help." Eriol said folding his arms. Tomoyo opened her eyes and looked to Eriol. She stood. Eriol had once agin seen the anger in her face. But it was mostly worry, fear, and concern. "Don't say that, I know I don't need you to push me this time." Tomoyo spat nearing shouting.

Eriol shrugged. "It's so sick how you can just plead for something like that. Let him die. You'll feel a lot better."

Tomoyo slapped him. Kyo gasped. Eriol cheek was slightly red. "How dare you!" Tomoyo shouted to him. Eriol rubbed his cheek slowly and looked to Tomoyo with a smirk. "That won't heal him." He said. Tomoyo hand swung to Eriol face but he caught it and gripped her wrist. "Let her go." Yama shouted drawing his sword. "Ha, little man you couldn't protect a flea." Eriol said pushing Tomoyo to her Father.

"Come on, Princess, You can't be all worthless." Eriol said letting go of Tomoyo. Tomoyo's pendent glowed. "You bastard." Tomoyo growled. And without the slightest flinch. Tomoyo's hand glowed and she looked at the vexed but happy that her pendent was reacting. Tomoyo touched Clow Reed's wound and it began to glow healing it's self. Clow groaned feeling the pure light healing his stab wound.

Tomoyo smiled and then before she knew it a darkness covered her. "Tomoyo!" Yama and Kyo said at once seeing her face. Eriol caught her and watched at the pendent stopped it's shimmering glow. "What did you do to her?" Yama growled. "I pushed her, Daidoji can't react with her pendent, she doesn't know how, but it seems the pendent reacts to emotions." Eriol exclaimed. "She's now resting." Eriol lifted Tomoyo in his arms and walked into what was left of her home.

It wasn't a badly damaged as the other small houses. Yama and Kyo followed Eriol as he opened the door and lied her on her bed that was untouched from that night's attach. "Let her rest." Eriol said putting the blankets over her body. Yama winced at his rib and sat down. "Yama you shouldn't push yourself." Kyo said sadly. "I'll be fine." He said. "Why don't you let me fix it for you, unless you want your lung to collapse?" Eriol said walking out the room.

"Fine." Yama said with a sigh getting up. "I'll stay with Tomoyo." Kyo said. Yama nodded.

Eriol was outside playing with the kids. He was almost amused but not as really amused as he should have been. "Touch your toes." Eriol said and all the little kids touched there toes. "Now hop back and forth." Eriol said. seven of the kids didn't keep there hands on there toes and just hoped back and forth. "Stop, you didn't keep your hand of you toes, your out." Eriol said and the kids laughed and groaned.

It was only five left. "Okay, stop touching you toes." Eriol said and they obeyed. "Now, jump up and down." And they did so. "Lift your left leg." And they did so. "Now your right." Only two didn't do as they were told. "Stop, do you not know your left from your right, your out." Eriol said with a smirk.

"Hojo, you can't leave me." Hojo's little sister cried. "You can win, sister." He said with a smile.

Yama walked over and smiled as Eriol gave orders for the kids. "That looks fun." Yama said. "It's a mind game." Eriol said before giving another order. "I think Tomoyo is awake." Yama said. Eriol nodded. "And Thank you for helping us." Yama said. Eriol scoffed and gave another order and the little boy Hojo's sister was the last one. All the kids cheered when she won. Yama smiled.

"You like kids?" Yama asked. "No." Eriol said standing up.


Early that night Eriol talking with Clow, he was resting down and thanked Eriol for everything he had done. Clow was about to give him his reward but Eriol didn't want it anymore. Eriol and Yama walked up the stairs seeing Kyo holding Tomoyo hand as Tomoyo stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. "Kyo?" Tomoyo said looking to her friend feeling her hand. "Oh thank the Lord, your alright." Kyo sighed hugging Tomoyo who smiled seeing Yama. Eriol was hidden in the shadow and looked at them.

"I'm happy that you are here with us." Yama said hugging Tomoyo. "Your rib." Tomoyo said. "Oh, Eriol healed it for me, Still stings a little though." Yama said with a smile. "Where is he now?" Tomoyo asked. "Here." Kyo said looking to Eriol who slowly came out the darkness. "We should head off to bed, we have so much to do tomorrow." Kyo took Yama's hand and led him out the room.

Eriol and Tomoyo we along once more. "Why did you push me? I knew you didn't mean those bastardly things you were saying, why?" Tomoyo asked resting her back on her pillow. "Your pendent reactions to emotion of stress, I wanted to see if it'll work once more as last time." Eriol confessed. "I must learn this on my own." Tomoyo said sharply. "Fine." Eriol said walking out the room. Tomoyo got out of her bed and followed after him. "Where are you going?" She whispered. The night clouds were a grayish sliver and it gave the small dark hall a glow. "Some where and no where." Eriol answered.

"Your leaving?" Tomoyo asked sadly.

"I finished what I have to do here, so I take my leave here."

"I see." Tomoyo said slowly looking down for a moment. Tomoyo walked closer to Eriol and hugged him. Eriol was shock at Tomoyo's actions and she let go of him and touched and cheek. "You shouldn't attach yourself to me, you'll regret it." Eriol whispered back. Tomoyo smiled and touched her pendent. Eriol backed away from Tomoyo as she looked to him.

"I'm not attached." She said in a soft voice. Tomoyo stood on her toes and kissed Eriol lightly on his lips. Eriol slowly kissed her back but stopped. Tomoyo looked at Eriol hand and took it into her. "This is for you." Tomoyo said and a rose appeared in Eriol's hand. Eriol was shocked seeing the rose. It was a Desert Rose, very rare. "So you won't forget me as a Desert Rose." She whispered stepping back. Eriol gripped the Desert Rose and looked to the stem. It's poisonous thorns weren't there.

Eriol looked to Tomoyo and then walked back down the hall. "Eriol?" Tomoyo looking to him as he walked down the stairs. Eriol stopped and looked at Tomoyo. "Will I see you agin?" She asked trying to keep her tear from coming. Eriol sighed. "Don't count on it." He said. Tomoyo giggled a little and smiled to him once more. "Then if we do, call me Tomoyo." She said. Eriol's lips played a small smile and then nodded and began walking down the stairs. "Daidoji?" Eriol said stopping. Tomoyo went to the stairs and looked at Eriol.

"Catch." He said and threw Tomoyo an Item wrapped in silk. Eriol continued walking down the stairs and out the door. Tomoyo ran to the hall window still holding the silk wrapped Item and watched Eriol walked down the road. Eriol stopped and looked up seeing Tomoyo. Tomoyo looked down at the Item and took the cloth. It was a rough Diamond. Tomoyo smiled seeing him continue his walking. "A Diamond in the rough." Tomoyo whispered.


At the Palace of Light The Dark Mistress and Master were watching Eriol walking pass the apple trees and head to Haven. "Damn that bitch Tomoyo, how could she." The Dark Mistress growled. The Dark Master chuckled. "She's keeping herself from fall for the boy, just wait until she finds out what he is, she'll hate him like a snake and a cat." He laughed.

"My Love, what are we to do with him?" The Dark Mistress asked. The Dark Master waved his hand and his sword appeared. "Shadow Warriors, I have something for you." The Dark Master said and the Warriors appeared from the shadow. "Bring us that wondering son of a bitch here, we have some question we'd like to ask him." The Dark Master commanded. "Yes My Lord." It said and faded in the shadow.

"Eriol wants to die huh? So be it!"


Oh Eriol and Tomoyo, so stupid you two are. But anyway what do you think? Mmm, not as romantic as I wanted it but it makes more sense to let the story flow as it is. Remember to review every chapter I hope I please some of the fans of Skywatcher with this story. I'm really getting into the whole thing of Princesses and what not.

remember to review. Peace.

And for those of you who don't know the song Tomoyo sang. It was from Escaflowne: The Movieeveryone seems to like that song, some of the stories I read have it.
