Chapter 3

Darkness. Pitch black surroundings. Where is he?

"Eriol… remember us… remember your past…" a voice called out.

After the darkness, a blinding light came. "Eriol… Please… Remember" the voice called out again before he suddenly woke up. He stood up and headed to his bathroom. He looked at his reflection on the mirror. Sweat trickle down his face and he looks stressed out. 'get a grip, Eriol. It was just a stupid nightmare' he thought, trying very hard to get it out of his mind.

Suddenly, he fainted. Memories flood through his mind. Clow Reed. That's his name from his previous life. He is a magician, the greatest to be exact. The voice he heard; it is someone he know.

After a few minutes, he woke up again; Finding himself in his bed. 'how did I get here?' he asked himself. He is sure that he fainted in the bathroom and there is no way that he can sleep walk.

"You're finally awake, master Eriol" a cat-like creature said with a nonchalant tone.

In front of Eriol stood a black cat-like stuff toy who actually talked and a beautiful girl who has a red hair. Both of them has butterfly wings.

"Who are you?" Eriol asked

"We're your guardians. I am Spinnel Sun" he turned to the beautiful girl beside him and then added, "and this is Ruby Moon"

"Hi!! I'm Ruby Moon but my false form's name is Nakuru Akizuki. You can call Spinnel, Suppi-chan!" the girl chirped

"Stop that, Ruby Moon. I.Am.Not.Suppi-chan." Spinnel said firmly.

"False form? Ruby Moon? Spinnel Sun? Why do I need guardians? And why am I your master?" Eriol asked.

"Wait, master. You're asking so many questions. You're making me dizzy" Ruby moon said then faced Suppi-chan. "Why can't he remember us? I thought we appeared because he already accepts us in his life." She whispered. "He just remembered Clow Reed, not us. But I think he can accept us" Spinnel replied.

"Master, I do think that you already know about Clow Reed. You actually received his powers and then you made us. Ruby moon has a false form which allows her to interact with humans while I become like this" he pointed himself "when I don't need to use my powers."

"Does this mean, you will live with me?" Eriol asked

"Yes, if you will allow us but we can always stay in the streets and die there" Ruby said with fake sadness.

"If I made you then I need to take care of you" Eriol said though he is unsure of what he really wants to do.

"Really?! Yes!" Ruby Moon jumped and hugged suppi-chan. "Let go of me, freak" suppi said monotonously.

After some minutes, the guardians left their master and he fell asleep because of the sudden stress.

When Eriol woke up, he was greeted by the enthusiastic voice of Ruby Moon. "Ohayo, master! What do you want for breakfast?" He smiled at this then said, "Anything you can cook, Ruby moon" Suddenly, tears formed in her eyes. "Why are you crying?" he asked, concern etched in his eyes. "I-it's nothing master. It's just that, yesterday you were so different and now you talk like your old self. I miss you!!!" she said before hugging him. Yeah, he felt different. It is as if a part of him came back and gave him more peace of mind and maturity. He stroked her back with a gentle hand like what a father would do to his daughter. After a few more seconds, she pulled back and smiled then went to the door. "arigatou" she said before running to the kitchen.

He stood up, took a bath and readied himself for school. When he was finished, he went straight from his room to the kitchen. There, he saw stacks of pancakes which made him smile inwardly. Suppi greeted him and he did the same. All was quiet until Ruby came.

She looked at her 'housemates' then she exclaimed, "I'm so happy! We look like a real family!"

"Not really. Maybe a master, a guardian and an ecstatic maid" suppi muttered though Nakuru heard it.

"You're so negative!"

"You're so stupid"

"I hate you!"

"I hate you more"

And their fight went on and on. Eriol found this scene amusing. Yesterday morning, he was just casually eating here… alone and now he has a family, as how Nakuru said it.

'Family, I never had one but now, it's my chance to have a family. I certainly can live with this' he thought while eating the mouth-watering but a little too sugary treat that his guardian cooked for him.

After he finished eating, the guardians automatically stopped fighting and Nakuru cleaned the table.

"Master, will you allow me to get a part-time job?" Nakuru asked out of the blue. "It will be boring here in the house if you will be at school and I will be stuck with boring Suppi-chan who will just stay in the boring library, reading boring books"

"You said boring 4 times" Suppi commented

"Please, master…" Nakuru pleaded, ignoring Suppi's comments

"You can, but don't let anyone know your other personality. Be careful" Eriol said

"Really?! Yes!" Nakuru sure was happy though she has a mysterious glint in her eyes that no one than her and Suppi understands (Like master, like guardian).

Eriol stood up and said "I'll go now" before going out of the house. He walked until he reached Tomoyo's house (or mansion).

He rung the doorbell and a maid immediately went to him. "Come in. Tomoyo-sama is in the living room" the maid said. When he entered the living room, he was welcomed by a not-so-happy Tomoyo.

"Exactly, why are you here, Hiiragizawa-kun?" she questioned with a mother-like tone.

"I'm here to assist you and Sakura-chan to school" he answered plainly

"Hiiragizawa, you need to understand the simple rules of teenage liking. First and most important rule, you need to put the girl you like first before any other friends" Tomoyo explained, calmer this time.

'When did I even say that I like Sakura?' Eriol asked himself.

"I know you didn't say that you like her but it is obvious that you care for her so much" Tomoyo voiced.

Eriol's eyes widen because of surprise. 'how did she know what I was thinking?'

"FYI, I can't read minds. You are just a very readable person" Tomoyo cleared. Eriol sighed in relief. It will be very hard to act in front of a psychic. Erase that, it will not be hard: It will be impossible.

'Wait… me, Eriol Hiiragizawa, a readable person? Never in my two lives did I heard that I was like that and if I'm a readable person, why haven't she discovered that I like her? or does she know?' Eriol pondered.

Tomoyo is very unpredictable. He easily reads other people's minds but he can't understand what is in her mind right now. It's a once in a lifetime experience to see Eriol Hiiragizawa being baffled but with Tomoyo, it can turn to an everyday scene.

His thoughts were disturbed by the tapping of her foot, showing that she is waiting. "Sakura-chan might be waiting for you" she said. He don't want to leave yet but it will be more than obvious if he still stay there so he just said "goodbye" for the second time that morning and walked again, this time to the Kinomoto residence.

He looked at his clock. 'When I get there, I will not have enough time to go back at Tomoyo's house and accompany her to school. Maybe this is all her plan, for Sakura and me to go to school together alone. I just wish that the time will stop' he thought while looking at the watch intently. The cherry blossoms were falling from the trees but he doesn't have time to notice it. Suddenly, the hands of his watch stopped.

"Great! Now my watch is wrecked" he said under his breath. He looked around and he noticed something wrong. The petals falling a while ago are suspended in mid air. 'My watch is not wrecked. The time just stopped!' he thought joyfully. 'I have enough time to walk Tomoyo to school'

He immediately went to Sakura's house and once he got there, he looked at his clock and wished for time to continue. His wished, of course, came true. He rung the door bell then a tall guy with dark brown hair opened the door and glared at him. "Good morning Kinomoto-san. Is Sakura ready for school?" he asked. The guy frowned but he opened the door further so that he can go inside. "Come in. Sakura will come down soon". He sat on a vacant seat.

The guy went to the stairs then yelled, "Kaijuu! A gaki is waiting for you." The person said. "I am not a kaijuu" Sakura retorted back while walking downstairs. She immediately went to the living room to see who is looking for her. She blushed when she saw him. She haven't decided yet what to do with her feelings.

"Why are you here, Eriol-kun?" she asked, trying very hard to sound less tense. "I'm here to walk you and Tomoyo to school" he explained. She looked around for any Tomoyo around. Noticing this, Eriol said, "She's not yet here. I need to fetch you first before her". She turned her back on him so that he will not see her red face. "Let's go then, she might be waiting" she said then grabbed her bag and walked to the door. "I'm going onii-chan" she said before

(A/N: She even forgot to eat breakfast because of nervousness, hahaha. Oh! Another thing, for a change, she waked early today unlike what she do everyday)

Since none of them found anything interesting to talk about, they walked side by side in silence. They arrived at Tomoyo's mansion quickly, giving them enough time to walk to school. While they were on the way to school, Eriol felt an aura and he suddenly had the urge to go back to their house.

"Sakura-chan, Daidouji-san, I'm sorry but I need to go back home because I left something" Eriol said while smiling. "It's okay, Hiiragizawa-kun" Tomoyo assured. "Do you want us to wait for you?" Sakura asked. "thank you but don't bother. I'm okay" Eriol said then went to the direction of their house.

He went straight to their house where he saw his guardians in their true form. He stopped the time like when he first did it just this morning. Seeing this, Ruby moon's eyes widened and a look of pure shock appeared in her face. "When did you learn that?" she asked. "I learned it this morning" he answered then he added mysteriously, "Love can make the world go round but it can also stop its rotation" Ruby looked at him, puzzled while Spinnel smirked at him.

Out of instincts, Eriol jumped from building to building to where he felt the aura strongest. The aura suddenly became weaker when he arrived. He just saw a masked girl in a pink frilly dress with a wand on her left hand and a card in the right. "Looks like were late" Ruby said with a disappointed tone.

"Master Eriol, I might need to clarify some things for you to understand the Clow cards. First of all, the Clow cards are magical cards that Clow made to make his life easier. He sealed it in a book wherein a sun guardian is also sealed to protect the cards and look over it… (A/N: And he said everything about Clow, Card captors and the cards itself. Sorry, it will be redundant if I explain everything even if all of us know that, right?)

Eriol easily understood this. Well, of course, he will understand. It's his history/past life we're talking about here. After the said events, he continued his way to his school and continued the time with his magic. He walked in a daze because he was still thinking about the masked girl. Because of this, he didn't saw the two girls waiting for him in the entrance of the school. "Hey! Hiiragizawa-kun!" Tomoyo shouted while waving. He joined them and they walked together. Eriol and Tomoyo went to their Asian history class while Sakura went to her first class.

When Eriol and Tomoyo arrived at their classroom, Tomoyo bumped into someone. "I'm sorry." The boy said. When Tomoyo looked up, he saw a boy with amber eyes and an untidy hair. Her eyes widened and her books fell from her hands.

"Syao-Sya- Li-kun!"
