Hidden ring
Kaho stood up. She wasn't able to sleep all night. She just tried to believe that her relationship with Eriol is possible. But it isn't. Somehow they became different people. They grew apart. She can't put the entire blame on him. About two years ago she closed herself. She didn't know why, but somehow back then after so many fights, so many things left unsaid she grew distant from him.
She went to their drawer. It was the place were they kept everything they cherished. She opened it. There was their picture. Eriol was smiling at her, and she was smiling at the camera. Then their photo album. A few presents he gave her. All the cards they gave each other, letters from when she traveled abroad...she knew everything that was there. Or that was what she thought.
Beneath everything was little box. A black velvet box. She opened it, inside there was the most amazing wedding ring she had ever saw. The ring had a big amethyst stone cut in a square, around the amethyst there was 25 little diamonds in a round shape.The ring was made of white gold and had diamonds in every single part.
But that wasn't her ring. It was not bought for her. Eriol knew how much she loved rubis. She looked at drawer trying to find where he bought it. There was a little bag written Englands finest. Her eyes went wide. It was the exact same place whereshe tried to buytheir wedding ring. She would go there and find out what was that ring all about.
"Sayoran promisse me you will be nice to her!" Sakura said trying to make her husband understand.
"I am always nice!"he said.
"No you are not. Not ever since you found out about the affair. At the airport you treated her in a very cold way. You had a disgust look on your face!" she said.
"What do you expect? For me to be happy? Tomoyo is a sweet girl and I still don't feel comfortable with what she did!" he almost yelled and continued packing."I don't feel like going there to support her. I would support Mizuki. She is the one who Eriol cheated." he said
"You are being such a jerk! You just don't get it!"Sakura said, tears on her eyes, she threw the clothes she was packing on the floor and ran to the backyard.
Sayoran sighed. He slowly picked everything from the floor and then followed her. She was sitting on the ground looking at the sky, trying not to cry. He encircled her from behind. She tried to free herself from his grip but he was stonger.
"I am sorry Sakura...I don't want to sound disrespectfull to Tomoyo but I can't support her either. Please let us not fight about this." he whispered in her ears. She turned around so she could face him and he looked kindly at her. She smiled and kissed him.
Sayoran gave her a long, breath taking kiss. Her heart was beating fast, he could almost feel it. He slowly and gently laid her down on the grass.
"I love you Sakura" he said and kissed passionately. His hands started going up and down her back. Desire taking over. She broke the kiss.
"Sayoran let's go inside...someone can see us...and we are gonna be late for our flight."she said looking around her, worried.
"It is passed 11 pm Sakura...everyone is sleep. And our flight is only at 2 am. We have plenty of time..."he said and smirked, his hand sliping under her shirt.
"Sayoran I am not so su-" he kissed her again while his hand went beneath her bra and he caressed her breast. She broke the kiss and moaned. He smiled.
He slowly took off her shirt. She looked scared. He knew she was afraid anyone would see them. He looked at her in the eyes and kissed her gently. He smiled , the sweetest smile. She put her hands around his neck pulled him down and kissed him.
He took of his shirt putting it under her head as a pillow. He kissed her on the lips, on the cheek, he nibbed a sensitive part near her ear. She moaned his name while her own hands tried to undo his belt. He helped her , but continued his ministrations. Slowly kissing his way to her breasts. He took of her bra, and while he caressed one breast he licked the other, she tried not to moan, but couldn't.
He took of the last pieces of clothing they had. She spread her legs and Sayoran in a quick movement posiotened himself inside her. She arched her back and moaned loudly. His breathing increased and he was loosing control. He kissed her trying to stop both of them of making too much noise while his movements increased speed.
Each thrust she arched her back trying to follow him, trying to feel more, their mouths half kissing, half moaning , and in the middle of the thrusting , and the moaning and the sweet things he whispered in her ear, they came.
Sayoran smiled his head resting in between her breasts. She stroke his hair, and caressed his cheek. He looked up at her. He gave her a long loving kiss.
"I love you..."he said in the sweetest voice.
"I love you too...very much. I am glad that we can be together..."she said tears of joy in her eyes. The phrase sounded in his head. And he understood why she felt so sorry for Tomoyo. They couldn't be together.
Kaho arrived at the store. She was afraid to find out what that ring meant. She knew the owner. It was their personal friend. His name was mister John. A very sweet old man. He wore big round glasses, and had a little mustache. He was very skinny, and very kind. He believe in fairy tails, happy endings, and he did not sell wedding rings - he said- he sells the beggining of a lifetime. And he only sold the ring if he really believed that the couple would work out. He was right about her ring. He didn't sell it to her...but why did he sell it to him?"
She entered the store. He was having a very heated discussion with a young couple. He kept shaking his head while the man offered him more money. She laughed. They probably wouldn't be able to buy that ring. The couple left incredibly angry.
"Mr. John you are the most misterious man I ever met. I wish I had the power to know things like you do." she said jokingly. He looked at her and smiled kindly.
"You do have the power, you just chose not to see."he said. She had no words for that. She tried to focus on what she was doing there and remembered the ring.
"Mr. John I found this at home, and I was wondering if you sold it to Eriol?" she showed him the ring and he smiled half laughing.
"Oh yes I did. He actually came here to buy you a new ring for the wedding. But you see he wasn't buying it right. He actually didn't know what to get. He had this very lovely lady trying to help him."he said. But that was making absolutly no sense to Kaho."Anyway...
Flashback
"Can I see this one please?"she asked politly at him. Mr. John smiled at her.
"Sure thing. I am actually very proud of this ring. And I think it would be perfect for you. It matches your eyecolor." he said. She made a gesture asking if she could put it on. He nodded. She put on her finger and stared at it. Eriol noticed and went near her observing her with a kind ,loving look on his face.
"I anyone ever asked me to marry, I would like this to be the ring..."shewhuspered and smiled."Maybe someday..."she smiled kindly and put the ring back on it's place. Eriol returned to his spot pretending to look for something.
"I will come by later...I am not very inspired right now." he said making up an excuse. She left before him an d he took it as a chance.
" Mr. John, don't you let anyone buy this ring...I will come by for it later." he left before Tomoyo could see their little talk. Mr. John shook his head and kept the ring on a drawerin the back of the store - where his office was-so no one would buy it.
End of Flashback
Kaho was speechless...Tomoyo liked this ring so Eriol bought it? And why did Mr. John allowed him to if he only sells the ring if he believes the couple will work? Does he believe that Eriol and Tomoyo can be together?
"I still don't understand why you sold it to him. Why did you sell it to him and not me? " the smile on his face was gone and he was very serious.
"As I said you do have the power , you just choose not to see. You know the answer to your question. It's just hard to admit." Kaho was starting to regret opening that drawer.
"Did he say anything? Anything at all?" she asked trying to find some other explanation.
"When he came back for the ring he said something." she looked at him telling him to continue. " He said that the young lady deserved the best. And when she finds the one , then he will give to this man, the ring. So everything can be perfect." he said.
Kaho looked disturbed. Sheleft without saing goodbye and headed to the all-so familiar cafee. She needed to see. And she sees. Now she just have to admit it.
The sun was high in the sky, shining, there was no clouds no sign of cold or rain. It was a perfect day. Eriol and Tomoyo sat under a tree trying to find a song for the wedding.
They picked their favorite love songs , and even tried to made some. But that only caused a lot of laughter and jokes. So they were now peacefully choosing a"Top 5".
"How about this one?" she said and pointed at the paper that was written "Kiss me - Sixpence None the Richer" he shook his head.
"Too superficial." he got one paper and showed it to her. "The Police- Every breath you take."
"Too old and it has a male singer. My voice won't be very pretty." He nodded. She sighed and opened her bag. She picked a paper and showed it to him. "I was saving this one for a special occasion. See if you like it."
The name of the song was Purachina (Platinum). He read the song and smiled. It was perfect. It didn't say much but it said everything at thesame time.
"This is it! You found it!" he said and smiled. She laughed a little. He went near her and was going to kiss her cheek, but she backed away and he "accidently" kissed her neck. It wasn't quick as he fought it would be. She shivered like she always did. He smelled her scent, and the feeling of her skin woke something inside of him. He stopped kissing and turned away imediatly. His breathing had increased, so had hers. They avoided eye contact all the way back to the mansion.
They entered the house and a very distracted Kaho was sitting near the window staring at the sky. They heard in the kitchen and since the kitchen was near the backyard - that had a way out of the house - Eriol put his arm in front of Tomoyo like telling her to stop. He walked slowly without making any noise to the kitchen. He was half surprised and half relieved to see Touya trying to make tea.
Tomoyo didn't wait for him to return and say it was safe. He heard her tsay a quick hello to Kaho and enter the kitchen standing behind him, looking above his shoulders.
"Touya!" she said, smiled, and walked to him. She hugged him and he returned the hug. " What are you doing here?"
"I work at the cafee near here. One day I happened to serve coffee to Kaho. Today I was about to leave so we decided that I could come here and make her some tea." he said while he poured hot water into two cups.
Eriol was a bit confused. How long had this been going on? Was he supposed to be happy? Sad, angry, jeaulous? He had no idea of what to say or think. After all , he was her ex-boyfriend.
"I hope that is ok, and that I didn't scare you." he said looking at Eriol. Tomoyo looked at Eriol and then back at Touya and then at the livingroom where Kaho was. Then she understood.Shesat in a chair and stared at the table.
"No it's absolutely no problem."Eriol said and smiled , still feeling a little confused. Tomoyo tried to put herself together. Touya left the kitchen carrying the cups of tea.
"Are you jeaulous?" Tomoyo asked swalloing her pain. He stared at her. She looked a little hurt, but had the same kind smile she use to when she was younger. He heard her swallow her tears and smiled gently at her.
"No. I am actually glad she as someone to talk to." he said. She smiled in relief. He had to find a way out. He couldn't ignore how much he loved the woman in front of him. Especially now that he had the ring. He was mad but he actually bought it. Mr.John's words never left his head.Maybe someday...she will wear it.
Flashback
Eriol entered the store waiting patiently for Mr.John to end his talk with agrey-haired, small honey-like eyeslady. She was the owner of the nearby bakery and was a chatter. She loved to chat and gossip. She knew everything there was to know about everyone in the neighborhood. Eriol tried his best to stay away from her.
She left sending Mr. John a kiss which the man was gld to receive. Eriol laughed and Mr. John blushed.
"She is a friend and we were talking about...about-" he tried to say.
"It's ok Mr.John. You don't have to tell me." Mr. John smiled.
"I suppose you are here for the ring you asked me to keep for you?"Eriol nodded. Mr.John went to the back of the store, opened the drawer and got the ring. He stared at it before giving it to Eriol. "May I ask you a question?" he asked while Eriol tried to find his credit card.
"Of course." Eriol said still to focused on the card.
"Why don't you want anyone else but yourself to marry that beautifull ,lovely, young lady?" Eriol's wallet fell o the floor and he stared in shock at the very calm Mr.John's face. He recovered from the shock and picked his things.
"Because I love her with all my heart and I just can't stand thinking of her with another man..."he said , his eyes staring at the floor.
"Then you know how she feels when she sees you with Ms.Mizuki." Eriol stared again at the old, wise man in front of him. " Someday, she will find someone you wanting or not. What are you going todo then?" he asked. Eriol stared at the ring.
" I will give this ring to the person she chooses. Because she deserves the best. And if this ring is the best then I want the person she loves to make her happy. As long as you are happy..."he whispered the last sentence, a distant but loving look on his face. Mr.John gave him a warm smile.
"Don't worry. Things will come together eventually." he said , his eyes hiding his thoughts. Eriol stared at him confused. Mr.John sold him the ring and stared as he went to meet the young lady at the bakery across the street. He smiled.
End of Flashback.
A/N: Purachina song Sung by: Sakamoto Ma'aya
Lyrics: Iwasato Hiroko
Composition/Arrangement: Kanno Youko I'm a dreamer... Hidden power... My world is made of dreams, love, and worries. But there are still things lying hidden that I can't even imagine Facing the sky, like all the different trees, I'm gazing right at you. I want to find my dream... I want to make it come true... There is nothing that I can't overcome if I only believe. Just like singing, just like miracles, "feelings" can change everything! Without a doubt... Without a doubt... It's almost surprising! I'm a dreamer... Hidden power... A world yet unseen... No matter what awaits me there, even if it's not the ideal, I won't be afraid. The birds travel on the wind on a journey from today to tomorrow. I want to tell you... I want to shout it... I am but one entity in this world. But like a prayer, like a star, even with a small light, someday, I want to be stronger and stronger There are limitless possibilities, right here in my grasp. (It's gonna be your world.) I want to find my dream... I want to make it come true... There is nothing that I can't overcome, if I only believe. Just like singing, just like miracles, "feelings" can change everything! Without a doubt... Without a doubt... It's almost surprising!
