Chapter six
"Are you threatening me, Ruby-Moon?" Yue asked with a slight quirk in his eyebrows.
"Don't push me darling! You know very well." Nakuru said, her face a serious mask that somehow seemed to send waves of fright down Yue's spine. But he shrugged it off and Nakuru waved her hand and Yue was on the defence.
All of a sudden, Kaho was there and Nakuru looked at Yue pointedly.
"You should catch her." Nakuru whispered and Yue flew down a little to catch one confused Kaho.
"What is happening here?? Yue?? Nakuru??"Kaho asked as she was placed on the branch properly. As Yue withdrew from her, she wavered and Nakuru pulled her towards her without the hands. Magic ofcourse.
"You...Kaho-sama." Nakuru smiled although it never reached her eyes.
"...will tell me, both of you, what is going on? Hmm...I am really impatient here. You don't know what happens to me if I don't have my master around to control me, or my mistress."She said sweetly although the ice that dripped in her tone was enough to freeze hell over.
"Nakuru. I am the one who is impatient here. I can not put up with your childish pranks...find Touya to do that!"Yue snapped and Nakuru was before him in a second holding him by his neck and lifting him off the branch.
"You...what ever did you do to Yukito-san? Where is he? And what games you both sick people are playing?" Nakuru asked, the aura surrounding her crackling with enormous power.
"Nakuru-san...please..."Kaho said but regretted it.
Nakuru while still holding Yue's neck, caught Kaho by the neck and slammed her against the tree trunk. Due to the collison, blood spurted from Kaho's mouth and Nakuru smiled slowly.
"I don't want this to get bloody, you know..."She said.
Yue caught Nakuru and tried to summon his powers to attack her but Nakuru threw him to the next tree, Yue hit the tree with quite some force and slid down, aware of the multiple bruises that were being scratched onto his body.
"Not to be messed with today. You..."She pointed to Kaho.
"You...two timing, back stabbing witch!! Why are you here now that Master is married?? And that cold Prince down there..."She peered down and sent a lightning attack on Yue to get his attention.
"Messed with Tomoyo-san, eh?? Both of you used Eriol and Tomoyo respectively and back in their lives after six years of no news from you guys...and what do you do on their Anniversary?? Their Anniversary mind you...just when they were falling into a pattern, when they were about to get somewhere more than being best friends...and I find both of you scums kissing them!! I was shocked to find them kissing you guys back but...I am a little lost here. So help me..."Nakuru said and smiled again.
"What do you want from us??" Kaho said calmly.
"Good question. I don't know what your plans are but, you both have acheived something that I was expecting even if you wanted both of them to yourselves...so..."She shot her hand through Kaho that went deep inside her and Kaho looked at her alarmed.
Yue noticing this, flew up to get to her but it was too late.
"Hey...I am not a murderer!!" Nakuru piped as Kaho slowly disappeared.
"You witch!! What have you done to Mizuki??" Yue asked and Nakuru laughed.
"Don't worry...you are going to join her..." Nakuru said and hit him too, the same way she did to Kaho but was somehow pulled toward him.
Her face faltered and she looked up stricken to his face.
Yue, too knew what she was doing but somehow he felt something inside him pulling her.
"Whats this??" Nakuru asked as they were wrapped in some sort of bubble.
"You should know...you were the one who tried it!" Yue said, feeling some strange things due to Nakuru's closeness. He could smell her rose scent fill his nostrils and was slightly irritated by it.
They both fell on Kaho and she yelped.
Nakuru scrambled up and looked at them with daggers aimed at them.
"I was not supposed to be here, you know."She spat as she looked at them.
Kaho paled looking at the mansion and Yue for once, showed a stricken expression on his face.
The three of them were standing in front of the Clow's mansion.
"You were trying to punish us!" Yue accused her and Kaho looked confused.
"Why?? Is this where Tomoyo and Eriol are?" Kaho asked a smug satisfaction on her face. This was getting better and better. All she wanted was Eriol to really understand that he still loved her. And Yue, well whatever he wanted that Tomoyo girl to realize!
"Oh...so now you understand, eh? Although I don't understand why I am here. Anyway, Kaho-sama. Lead us the way, hmm??" She asked, her chirpy self back.
"They don't need us anymore." Yue said holding Kaho's hand as she tried to walk to the door.
"What?" Kaho looked puzzled.
"They...Tomoyo and Eriol..."Yue fought for the right words but couldn't quite get it out.
"Oh no, Yue-kun!! Come on now..."Nakuru whined typically and had her arms around his shoulder.
Something shot through both of them, a kind of awareness and Nakuru leapt away from him as if stung.
Yue couldn't place this thing in between them for he was already plagued with many confusing emotions that he was not capable of handling. He was not a human for heavens' sake! And now...Nakuru...
"Just lead the bloody way Kaho!" Nakuru snapped and Kaho followed the order.
Eriol helped Tomoyo with the bath.
She smiled from the shower and he kept her dry shirt on the hanger and smirked.
This was so...peaceful. Why didn't he think of this earlier?
"I wonder...why this didn't happen before..."Tomoyo said as if reading his thoughts as she stepped out covering herself with the towel Eriol had kept for her. She looked up, blushing and Eriol's heart warmed.
Oh Kami!!
"I have seen you without anything on, Daidouji-san..."Eriol smiled and she even blushed harder.
"Oh Hiiragizawa-kun!!" She admonished reaching for the shirt and looking at him pointedly.
"What?" Eriol asked as he slumped against the bathroom door looking at her.
"Gotta change..??" Tomoyo said as if it was obvious and Eriol's smirk turned to a grin.
"Go ahead. No one is stopping you..."Eriol said really enjoying this childish exchange. It had never been like this with Kaho.
"Oh...really..."Tomoyo asked rolling her eyes, her hands on her hips challenging him. Eriol's eyes automatically flew to her chest where the towel had dipped a little low showing perfectly her cleavage.
"Mmm...am not complaining..."He said as all the blood in his body flowed south.
Tomoyo's expression changed and she had a serious yet soft look on her face.
Standing in front of him like this was new...even if they had made love...well, it was quite passionate and not gentle at all...but still him looking at her naked was something she was not yet...
'What the hell...he is my husband and I love him!' Tomoyo almost gasped at her declaration. She looked at Eriol with a soft look and looked down as he saw his frown.
She caught her lower lip within her teeth and gently undid the towel and let it slip down.
Eriol's breath hitched in his throat since he realized that this...whatever Tomoyo was doing, was different. They had made love but it was passion both the times and they didn't almost realize what they were doing. But now, looking at her fully, he just realized how much she trusted him. He had not belived her when she'd whispered her love for him, for he thought that it was just the aftermath of passion. But now...
He was aware of her bruised body and he mentally smacked himself. Both the times he'd forgotten to be gentle. Something in her made him totally lose his own self control.
She took the shirt and looked up at him and his throat was dry again.
She bent down to get the wet towel and hung it on the hanger. She closed the space between them and smiled.
"Help me with the shirt??" She asked and looked at Eriol for an answer.
"I...think.." Eriol cleared his throat at the same time cleared his head and tried again, not paying attention to Tomoyo's taunting smile," I think you can wear it on your own Tomoyo..."
"Hmm...but you were the one who made me wear it those two times..." She whispered and went on her tip toes.
Eriol could feel something thudding and took a moment to realize that it was his own heart beat!
He nodded, not trusting his voice and took the shirt from her as Tomoyo leaned closer revelling at the smell of his aftershave.
She felt his hands tremble a little as he did her buttons and she smiled.
She cupped his hands in order to steady him...
"Eriol."She said as if savouring his name in her mouth and liking the way it sounded and felt.
"Eriol..."She said again and Eriol pulled her roughly against him.
Now she cupped his face and kissed him back with equal passion as he captured her lips.
Then she broke away and said again, still holding his face, "Eriol...Hiiragizawa...the English gentleman...just Eriol...my Eriol..."
Eriol's eyes widened as the hidden implication hit him. She loved him just as Eriol and not as a reincarnation of a powerful mage!
He finally knew what he really was...
"Mmm...just a thought. We should get out of the bathroom and do something about being stuck here..."Tomoyo said and Eriol felt something dip inside him. So...she didn't love him afterall. She was still his just-a-best-friend! She wanted to get out of here, not wanting to be with him!
"Yeah..."He said and opened the door as she jogged out and stopped, looking at him and giggling since she had been jogging.
"You seem to be happy..."He murmured with a forced smiled and she smiled dreamily at him and his heart did a somer sault.
Okay, she was not the one falling for him, but he was!!
She took the phone and her eyes widened for a moment.
"Eriol...the phone..."She whispered as she placed the reciever down.
'Okay here it comes...'Eriol thought and Tomoyo sighed.
"Its still dead...looks we are still stuck together...if you can handle that!" Tomoyo said slowly and Eriol looked at her, a little shocked.
She was sweating a little and her fingers were twitching a little. Tomoyo was lying and suddenly, he found himself oddly satisfied. And just as suddenly, he felt like teasing her.
"Are you sure Tomoyo-chan??" Eriol said reaching for the phone and she grabbed him first.
She kissed him harshly and let her hands roam beneath the shirt.
She pulled away and whispered," The one who gets to kitchen last, fixes the lunch!!" Then she dashed out the door and Eriol looked at her form in white.
Woow!! He liked this...infact he loved it! This is what it meant to be married, then!!
"Hey!! You had a headstart!!" Eriol cried after her and he could hear her peels of laughter.
Okay, this time he was going to take her on the stairs!! He wouln't care about what she says...
They both ran down the stairs, Eriol chasing her down and finally when catching up with her, reached for her and held her by winding his arms around her stomach and lifting her off...
Both were laughing and immersed in their own world, that they didn't notice they had an audience.
"Eriol!!" Kaho's voice shot through both of them.
Both of them froze. Their moment interrupted. Eriol placed Tomoyo on her feet, but still held her against his chest, his cheeks pressed to hers, both breathing heavily due to running. Not to mention the built up emotions that came came crashing down looking at both Kaho and Yue.
Without realizing as an unknown feeling gripped both of them, they both held each other more tightly than before and Tomoyo was aware of the cold that stucg her barefoot.
Yue was annoyed and irritated at the sight both of them were in and suddenly felt something void beside him. He looked at Nakuru and could just about see her fading figure but she was still there.
"Kaho...Yue!!"Tomoyo said, forcing a smile, holding onto Eriol even more tighter. And felt his arms around her tighten their hold too.
Yue looked at Nakuru sharply and she looked at him with equal confsion. Even Kaho's head snapped next to Yue and her eyes searched for Nakuru. Her eyebrows rose questioningly at Yue who was looking for something.
Then he again turned to Nakuru who looked at him and a silent understanding was passed.
No one could sense or see Nakuru except Yue.
Well, things were getting stranger and stranger every passing moment.
Just then Kaho smiled brightly up at Eriol.
"Eriol!! I was so worried about you!!" She said rushing forward to meet him.
Tomoyo dreaded this and wished Eriol didn't let her go but she felt a sinking feeling as she felt his hold loosening and tears blurred her vision so she bent down and moved away from him.
She didn't even look up to see Eriol who was looking at her with an unreadable expression on his face and he embraced Kaho in his arms.
He'd wished, she would not let him go...
