("WHEN THINKING"

"WHEN SPEAKING")

FLASHBACK

Syaoran just gave him a –good-you-noticed- look.

"Thanks! You're a true friend." Eriol smirked back.

"Anytime! Soo…c'mon…let's do this!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Aryad! Beware!" Eriol said.

"Tomoyo…we're coming!" Sakura shouted.

Eriol was happy to have such wonderful friends. "Tomoyo…just you wait…I'm coming!"

END OF FLASHBACK

Tomoyo opened the window. She felt the cool breeze brush her hair.

"Eriol…I'm alright…don't worry." She mumbled.

"You're still thinking about him…huh…?" A certain voice surprised Tomoyo.

"Ryan!"

"Don't worry Tomoyo…I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to finish this fight. I just want to clear it up to him…everything that he had done!" Ryan said, while clenching his fist. Just thinking about that memory, made him grit his teeth.

"Ryan…We can just go back and talk this over with Eriol right?"

"No!"

"Why not? I know his personality! Trust me…" Tomoyo sounded really concerned.

"I know him better than you do. So stop bothering." Ryan answered back.

"Ryan…please…"

"No! Please Tomoyo…I care for you…I don't want to lose you." Ryan said while gently hugging Tomoyo.

"Ryan…you'll never going to lose me…I promise." Tomoyo answered while hugging him back.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Eriol rode his staff and Sakura used her fly card with Syaoran to look for Tomoyo. They were touching the clouds. Everything was just a disaster for Eriol.

"Why? Why her?" Eriol muttered to himself.

"Poor Eriol…" Sakura mumbled.

"Eriol! I see the house!" Syaoran then shouted.

"What!"

There!" Syaoran then pointed at the mansion below them.

"Ohh? C'mon let's go!" Sakura said.

Everyone hurried to get to the said mansion. It had been at least 3 hours of looking already.

They landed at Ryan's garden.

"What now?"

"C'mon let's go in." Eriol answered.

The three then opened the main door which was surprisingly open. They proceeded to the main hall and opened one of the doors along the corridor…where they saw Tomoyo and Ryan hugging. Of course, Eriol was shocked.

"Wha-what is this?" Eriol said. Loud enough for the two people to hear.

"Eriol?" Ryan exclaimed.

"You've poisoned her? You damn bastard!" Eriol attacked Aryad like there was no more tomorrow! His teeth gritting with anger. His heart thumping soo fast and hard.

He was about to strike him but then Tomoyo forced herself to save Ryan from being killed by blocking Eriol's way, which really shocked Eriol more.

"To-Tomoyo!"

"Tomoyo?" Li was shocked as well.

"Tomoyo! Get out of the way!" Sakura shouted.

"No…" Tomoyo answered.

"Why!" Everybody except Ryan asked, but still he was also surprised.

"Because he's my friend. I can't let you two kill each other just because of one misunderstanding right?" Tomoyo answered.

"Wha-what do you mean Tomoyo?" Eriol stuttered.

"Please…Listen to me, for once." Tomoyo answered.

"Tomoyo…stop it." Ryan pleaded.

"No…Eriol…I know what happened to the both of you."

"What?"

"I was there! I know everything!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"HOW?" Both rivals were shocked.

"I don't know what happened to me, but the last time I closed my eyes in a full minute…I just saw everything." Tomoyo explained.

"Wha-what do you mean Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked…she was confused.

"I-I can't explain…everything was like watching something in fast forward."

"You don't mean…" Li thought for a while and after certain minutes, he faced Tomoyo, and his eyes wide opened.

"No…You're! You're!--" Li exclaimed…but before he could finish a certain voice was heard.

"Tomoyo…You're the Eternal Power!" Eriol shouted.

"What!" Everybody was shocked.

"Yeah…Tomoyo…" Ryan spoke. Tomoyo then looked at him surprised.

"Ryan? Why didn't you tell me that I was the one?" Tomoyo asked.

"Because…you weren't there yet. The Great Scroll said that the eternal power would be found in the next generation…It's you." Eriol explained, his head facing the ground.

"I don't understand." Tomoyo said.

"We wanted to find you. We wanted to have eternal power." Ryan continued…

"I don't get it. If I'm the eternal power then how can you use me? I don't get!"

"Tomoyo…eternal power doesn't give the literal meaning of it. It means…eternal happiness." Ryan explained once again.

"Then why me!"

"You are the chosen one. We didn't know anything about you or any person to be the eternal power…until now that you've mentioned about your visions."

"Now I get it!" Li shouted.

"What do you mean Li?" Sakura asked.

"You see…Tomoyo…both of them loves you soo much that they would risk their lives for you. And so, you are their eternal happiness." Li explained.

"What?" Tomoyo actually blushed hearing Li's words. But still she was totally confused of what was happening.

"And soo…whatever the people were telling me before that you have the eternal power was actually true but then it would your reincarnation." Ryan said to Eriol.

"I told you many times that I didn't have the eternal power but you wouldn't listen." Eriol answered back.

"But now…what you've seen Tomoyo isn't partly true. It's still your decision that would change everything. The people predicted that Eriol would have you…not him being his Clow Reed form but his reincarnation. And soo…both of them wanted eternal happiness and they would only find it in you. They love you. Ryan and Eriol. I know it's hard to understand but you ARE the eternal goddess that I was also talking about before. My ancestors told my parents everything about the eternal power. It's just a surprise to know that it's you. There's always a situation where you would be the one to decide, neither it's good for you or bad. And the only way to stop this fight is to make your choice." Li explained.

"Li…I understand now." Tomoyo looked at Eriol then at Ryan. She started to cry. She never wanted to be the eternal goddess they were talking about, that would grant eternal happiness to someone. But then she knew that she would have to make a move. To make a certain decision. The decision that would be for the best.

"Tomoyo…" Sakura mumbled.

"I know now. Everything that's happening to me and to them is all connected. Now…I just got to decide. But who? Who?"

"Tomoyo…don't worry. Stop crying. I'm here. I won't let you get hurt." Eriol said.

"Tomoyo! Don't listen to him. I'm here! I'll protect you whatever happens." Ryan then shouted as well.

"Tomoyo…there's this one thing that you should know…" Li then started to explain.

"What is it?"

"Whoever you choose will live happily with you, but then the one that would be defeated would…"

"would?"

"die." Li muttered.

Tomoyo gasped. She felt pain, suffering and sorrow. She didn't deserve all of this. This was too much for her. She just wanted to rest.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Author's Notes: Hey guys! I know you're all confused but please bear with me. Uhm…You see Eriol and Ryan are fighting because of the said Eternal Power right. It was said on the 11th chappy. Uhm…You see…People told Ryan that Eriol betrayed him right…because they said that Eriol found the eternal power. And so they fought...Of course Eriol tried to tell Ryan that he didn't find anything. But of course…Ryan didn't listen. The one thing they didn't know was that the eternal power they're talking about is not literally it! It means…ETERNAL HAPPINESS…of course we all know now that Tomoyo is the chosen one. What the people were saying to Ryan was partly true. Eriol found Tomoyo…he loves her…he felt happiness when he was with her…It was on the next generation. Clow was reincarnated. Aryad as well. And soo now, it'll only be Tomoyo's decision…to whom she would belong to. The catch here is that, whoever Tomoyo chooses will live happily with her but then the person that she wouldn't choose will die. I know it's hard for our dear goddess but that's just how the story goes.

The story gets deeper and deeper and sooner or later, we would all know what the story is all about. NEXT CHAPPY, NEXT WEEK…Thanks to all who reviewed and will review! PEACE-OUT! We're almost there! The next chappy could be the last!
