Memoirs Of A Fallen Man
Chapter 14:
The words leading back to you
Three weeks had passed since Eriol left, but Eriol kept his promise to Tomoyo and wrote to her monthly leaving small gift in each letter:
December,
Dearest Tomoyo,
I'm now on my way to China, which will be a way off from Japan. But it being winter and all it has begun hard to have my cards to respond, so I have to travel by boat and whatever else I can do. I'm sure you can picture how cold it must be on the ocean water. So I leave you this wool shawl. It should keep you warm for the winter months. I'll be in China in one weeks time so you shan't worry which I feel that you are.
Eriol
January,
Dearest Tomoyo,
It seems like coming to China wasn't to bad of a Idea. I am being tracked by the Chinese justice officers. What a wonderful uprise. Right at this moment that I am writing I'm hiding on the room top of a bath house. I've hardly been able to take the time to actually use my sleep card on them but I keep running remembering the thrill of the chase as I was young and a little their.
But as I sit on the roof of the bath house I looked up to the stars. I wish you were here to see it's beauty, it's different from the stars in Japan now that I really look at the China sky. It's like looking to a totally different sky. And So I leave you this book, Skywatcher as you told me of. I took the liberty of reading it for myself and I still say I know nothing of romance.
Eriol.
Months had past and then a complete year. Tomoyo was known as Lady Tomoyo. Her small Island castle was moved with her magic to the small village and in due time the small village grew into a small town of many. Tomoyo and Reed were loved by all who lived with them. It was now summer and the hot air hadn't let up. Most of the town turned to Haven for fun and to keep cool with the ocean water. Tomoyo became powerful with the help of her Father. Clow Reeds wound healed completely and he was as he was before making Tomoyo all the more happy of this wondrous news.
Tomoyo's pendent gave her visions and power just as strong as Clow's. But knowing that all the bandits were shadows warriors being controlled by a demon made it a lot easier to set them from the dark spell.
It was early summer and now and Eriol hadn't sent a letter to Tomoyo. She began to worry but she didn't lose faith. Tomoyo looked at the night sky. The moon was so close it was amazing looking at it's brightness. Tomoyo was in her chambers in her castle were she usually slept. Tomoyo was wearing a short silk night dress with small straps. Tomoyo walking into her warm room and picked up her kimono and put it on and let it fly behind her as she went to the balcony. A small breeze danced in the room. Tomoyo sighed. She walked onto the balcony and stood on the stone railing. Tomoyo spread her arms and let the wind hold her.
"I wish Eriol was at my side, Sakura. Bring thee back the Diamond in the rough." Tomoyo suddenly felt something touch her arm lightly. Tomoyo stiffened. "Thy Diamond in the rough hath return." A strong male voice whispered to Tomoyo. "He would say." Tomoyo said feeling safer.
Tomoyo turned her head slightly then she felt Eriol body against her wrapping his strong arms around her waist. Tomoyo put her weight on Eriol's warm body and sighed. "Oh, I've missed you." Tomoyo said. Eriol held Tomoyo tighter inhaling her sweet Lavender and Vanilla scent. "I know." He whispered in Tomoyo ear sending a shiver through her body. Tomoyo turned around looked to Eriol's face. It was a handsome as ever, but a scar marked his soft cheek.
Tomoyo touchedhim and Eriol winced a little. "What happened to you?" Tomoyo asked concern. Eriol took Tomoyo's hand from his face. "I told you I had been running." Eriol said. Tomoyo chuckled and looked down at her pendent and touched it with two fingers. Tomoyo's fingers glowed and she traced her finger over the scar and it heals and disappeared. Eriol smiled. "I see you have learned your power."
Tomoyo nodded and looked at Eriol. Tomoyo put her hand on Eriol's strong chest and smiled softly. "I'm so happy that you came back to me." Tomoyo said looking to Eriol's soft strong face. Tomoyo stood on her toes and kissed Eriol. Eriol let his body respond to Tomoyo's actions and kissed her back holding her closer to him feeling her soft touch skin his hands. Tomoyo broke there kiss and looking into he eyes once more.
Tomoyo's black kimono slipped off her shoulder and fell of her revealing her small form. Eriol's hands traveled Tomoyo's body to her arms and went to her hair. Eriol chuckled looking at how long it had gotten and that she was wearing it down as he liked it. Eriol's cloak blew behind. Tomoyo touched Eriol's cheek and brought her into another kiss. Except this one was loving. Eriol broke the kiss this time and stepped back getting off the solid baloney floor.
Eriol offered his hand to Tomoyo but she jumped on him and giggled as he caught her and spun around into her warm room. Tomoyo laughed as Eriol lifted her with her strong arms. Eriol brought Tomoyo back to him and laughed at Tomoyo's childishness. Eriol and Tomoyo flopped on her soft bed.
Eriol lied slightly on top of Tomoyo looked at her beautiful face. She was a goddess. Eriol smoothly a strand of hair from her chest and smiled at her. Tomoyo smiled back at him. "How long shall you be staying?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol grinned and looked to Tomoyo's hand. "Close your eyes." Eriol said. Tomoyo laughed. "Why?" She asked.
Eriol looked to Tomoyo seriously. Tomoyo just closed her eyes and she felt Eriol touch her hand and she felt something warm touched her finger. Tomoyo opened her eyes and looked at her hand seeing a large diamond ring on her finger. Tomoyo sat up along with Eriol. "Will you, Tomoyo, Will you marry me?" He asked. Tomoyo's heart fluttered.
Tomoyo looked at the ring and Eriol who was waiting for her answer. Tomoyo looked to Eriol feeling joyful tear welling in her eyes. "That I shall do." Tomoyo said making Eriol smile. Tomoyo jumped on Eriol and hugged him. "I will." She cried. Eriol held Tomoyo closely to him smiling.
Eriol back touched the bed and he looked to Tomoyo. "I won't leave you this time." Eriol said. Tomoyo's heart swelled with happiness as she lied on Eriol. Tomoyo kissed Eriol chest and kissed his lips softly. Eriol had never felt happier in his life with Tomoyo in his arms and to be his wife soon. Tomoyo brought the kiss and looked down at his cloak and unhooked it and threw it to the floor.
"I love you Eriol." Tomoyo whispered as she lied on him listening to his beating heart. "I love you too." Eriol said holding Tomoyo's small body.
As time went on Eriol and Tomoyo were married and the happiest ever. Eriol loved Tomoyo so much. As did Tomoyo and with time they had seven little ones of there own. Eriol was proud of them all and taught then what he knew along with Tomoyo. And so they all lived happily ever after.
