Also to avoid confusion Tomoyo's Lines are in '' While Eli's are in "" Other Characters will be in >

Happy Reading!
Chapter 2
The Moon's Mansion
'Ouch…'
Eli came rushing toward the sound and found out that Tomoyo stumbled over something. Eli tried his best not to laugh… but to no avail. With that Tomoyo just pouted as Eli approached her and lent her a hand.
"My guess would be that you would be that you wouldn't want to use that bike for now, ne?"
After that comment Eli got his cellphone and tried to call someone.
"Okay… Let's just go back to the hotel for now and see what surprise awaits us there."
Tomoyo, not knowing what Eli was trying to say just followed him and as they neared the front door a dark blue limo approached the gates of the said hotel.
"That was fast."
'We're going to ride that?'
"Yup.."
In the car on the way to Eli's house… Tomoyo sat beside Eli on the backseat and she was looking outside… trying to break the silence… she tapped Eli's shoulder… no response… then she tapped again… still no response… she looked at Eli and found that he was sound asleep… his head rested on the window… his azure eyes hidden… Tomoyo smiled at the sight and the thought of something.
Tomoyo asked the driver if Eli has any Japanese songs or CDs. The driver took out a CD and placed it in the player.
Tomoyo then looked again at the sleeping form of Eli. She felt again a strange sense of familiarity to him… it's as if he has been there all the time…
Kokoro ni, chiisana, hana ga, saiteru,
Kimi kara, moratta, karenai hana ga,
Shinjiru koto mo, kowagaranai kurai,
Tsuyoku nareta kara...
A small flower is blooming inside my heart,
The unwithering flower you gave to me,
I was able to believe strongly enough in myself,
So I'm not afraid anymore...
Tomoyo held Eli's head and placed it on her shoulder. Spontaneously he shifted his body and wrapped his arms around Tomoyo's arm. Tomoyo turned red at this action and almost tried to slap Eli but then she remembered that Eli was asleep.
Kimi ni aete, ureshikatta...
Tsunaida te ga, hokoridatta,
Ima wa, betsubetsu no sora, miagete itemo,
Hora, arukeru...hitori demo...
I was happy meeting you,
And proud of our holding hands,
Even though we look up to different skies now,
See? I can walk on my own now...
She looked at his hair… his navy blue hair… unruly… some parts of his face are covered by this mess of a hair… the same mess…
'Eriol'
She whispered to herself… fiddling with his hair…
'When am I going to see you… I've tried to put on this mask the moment you left… finally…I want to take it off…'
Kanashii, toki hodo, warau, watashi o,
Nani mo, iwanai de, daite kureta ne,
Koori tsuita douaga, sotto hiraku you na,
Sonna, kigashita yo...
I laugh more during sad times,
To hide the pain I feel inside,
But you hugged me gently without saying a thing
I felt as if it were like opening a door frozen in ice...
When I'm with Sakura and the others I smile… not because I'm happy… it's just to hide the fact that you are not there…And it hurts…You were the only one… who saw right through me…. I believed and loved you though I never got the chance to tell… so… why do you have to leave…
Kimi ni aete, ureshikatta...
Kodoku sae mo, wakachi aeta,
Ima mo, kono sora no shita, tsunagatte iru to,
Sou, omoeru...hanarete mo...
I was happy meeting you,
Even though I could only share my lonliness,
Even though we're separated now,
I still feel that we're somehow connected under this sky...
Arigato mo, ienakatta...
Yakusoku sae, dekinakatta,
Dakedo, ano hi to onaji, kaze ga fuitara,
Mata, kanarazu...aeru yo ne...
I didn't say thank you...
I couldn't even promise...
However, like on that day, if the wind blows
Then I know we will surely meet again...
The vehicle came to a sudden stop. Eli woke up and found himself close to Tomoyo… too close… he moved away… a little… and slightly blushed.
"Ugh… I want to show you something…"
'Sure… but what?'
Eli asked the driver if he could drive slowly, then he pushed a button that opened a window on the roof of the limo. It was big enough for two people to fit through.(A/N: somehow I think my grammar's wrong). Tomoyo then stood up and looked outside using the window on the ceiling of the limo(A/N: If you know what's it called could you guys inform me). She gazed at the huge gates as they were automatically opened slowly. (A/N: BGM Guess How Much I Love You by Kajiura Yuki)
"Welcome to my humble home princess."
Eli was already beside Tomoyo by the time the gates opened… Eli asked the driver if he could drive a little slowly… and so he did. Beyond the gates were seemingly endless rows of "fire trees"… its leaves falling slowly towards earth… its beautiful red-orange color scattered along the driveway and on a few benches along the road… breathtaking. About halfway there, the orange was replaced with pink, as the rows of fire trees turned into somehow endless rows of sakura trees… the once orange blanket of leaves is then replaced by a bed of pink and white petals… the drive way was partially blocked by these petals being drifted away by the wind…stunning.
Tomoyo can't help but smile at the scenario… Eli looked at her and noticed that she was very happy… no words can express how much joy she felt that time…
'Thank you'
"No biggie"
At the end of the said pathway was a fountain and beside it were around 6 parking lots. The driver dropped the two at the front entrance and then parked at one of the available spots since there were already two cars parked. Tomoyo thought that maybe Eli's parents were home. Inside was a surprise to Tomoyo herself, even though Tomoyo came from a very rich family, this house is still magnanimous. The walls of the house were of purest white and a very simple yet very elegant chandelier hung from above… beside her are two staircases leading to the second floor… and at the center of the room… is a midnight blue grand piano with silver sparkling dots which, if not perfectly, imitated the stars of the night sky. Tomoyo approached the piano and touched it... Her fingers tracing the twinkling lights on it…
Excuse me but I believe I haven't seen you around here lately>
A young girl about her age sat on a couch beside the grand piano. She was a little taller than Tomoyo… her hair reached up to her back, somewhere halfway…and she seems to be half Japanese and half British…
Eli walked towards the center to check on her on why she suddenly looked to her left… he was actually still enjoying himself by just watching her… As Eli came closer to Tomoyo the same girl blurted out.
And why did you, Mr. Eli Moon, leave oh so early in the morning without even telling?>
"I'm sorry I thought you were still asleep and--"
Actually… I was asleep… Now would you introduce me to that lovely raven haired lady beside you>
"This is Miss Tomoyo Daidouji… Tomoyo-chan this is---"
Cutting off Eli's short introductory speech, the said girl stood up then bowed and introduced herself.
Greetings Miss Daidouji… The name's Sachiko>
