Chapter three The necklace

A month after Tomoyo was in her house reading a book remembering her visit to Hong Kong and how happy Sakura and Shaoran were living there. But also trying to forget some things which had happened that month... How sad she had been when she saw Sakura leave on that airplane and the fact that she had been so comfortable in that sapphire-eyed guy’s arms. To be more specific, in Eriol´s arms...

"Miss, there’s someone in the phone looking for you." Said Reiko, one of Tomoyo´s maids, entering the library. (I don’t really know if she has a library but in that tremendous mansion... it should fit.)

"Thank you Reiko." Said Tomoyo picking up the phone. "hello?"

"Good morning Ms. Tomoyo. How was your sleep last night." Said the voice in the phone.

" Fine thank you Mr. Hiiragizawa and yours?" she said following the game.

"As pleasant as always..." he said "How are you?"

"Great thanks.”

" I was wondering if I could have the pleasure of your company at dinner tonight." He said. "I want to give you something."

"What is it?"

"Don’t be curious my little miss."

"All right. Did you say tonight?"

"Yes... unless you have something else to do."

"Well I actually must cancel my other two dates but if you insist… whatever” she said teasing him.   "I’m flattered my lady. Is it ok at eight?"

"Perfect."

"Then I’ll see you tonight miss."

"Yes. Good bye." And she hung up.
At Eriol´s manor...

"Is Tomoyo coming for dinner?!?!" Eriol heard a voice from the door.

"Why do you like to bother master like that?" he heard another voice.

"So. How was your trip?" said Eriol looking at his two guardians who were coming inside the room.

"OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH.... It was incredible... all those carnivals and colors and candies and...and..." said Nakuru in a very childish way.

"Master... please." Said Spinnel flying towards Eriol while Nakuru was telling the wind about their wonderful trip.. "Don’t send me again with that... that... how ever you wish to call it."

Eriol was chuckling looking at his two guardians whom he had missed during those days.

"Well master and tell me.... Why is Tomoyo coming for dinner with us. huh?"

"With us? Oh no... she’ll have dinner with ME. I need to talk to her and see how she is. I also want to give her a special gift." He said standing up and looking at Nakuru. "But you could help me."

"Oh master.... you don’t even have to ask."

"I just wish Tomoyo-san doesn’t get scared if you help..."

"What did you say Suppi... I’ll give you some chocolate syrup to silence you up."

"Oh no, you won’t."

"Oh yes I will." And Nakuru started chasing him all around the entire mansion.

That night...

Ding..dong...

Eriol opened the door but he couldn’t believe his eyes. Was that Tomoyo... the same girl he had been playing in his childhood? No she couldn’t be... The girl standing outside the door was definitely an angel. She was dressed up in a light violet dress which made her eyes look like liquid amethyst. She was wearing two little hair pins which sparkled like stars in that beautiful midnight hair.

"um... May I come in?" Said Tomoyo. Eriol hadn’t notice that he had been staring at her for a while without saying a word.

"Yes, yes... come in. I’m sorry it’s just that you look so..."

"Beautiful!!!!!! And absolutely adorable!!!!" said Nakuru running and hugging her.

"Hi Nakuru. How was your trip?"

"Fine thanks... we’ll talk about that later. Master, miss... dinner is ready."

"Thank you. “said Eriol and they went to the dinning room.

Everything was perfect. Candles, fruit, flowers and everything perfectly placed.

"Wow!" said Tomoyo. "Why... all these...?"

"Because you’re special." Said Spinnel. "Now we’ll be up stairs if you need anything just call us." And they went out of the room.

The dinner was exquisite. Tomoyo had enjoyed it very much. It had been the first time she ever came out of her house for almost a month. They were chatting very comfortable while having strawberry cake. (yum yum ^.^)

" so. Tell me. Why were you and Sakura so close?" said Eriol to her. Actually he had never known why those two where best friends. It seemed like they had known each other for a life time but he didn’t really know the answer.

"Well... My father died when I was six and since then my mother wanted to try to take out all her sorrow. They loved each other so much..." Said Tomoyo looking at Eriol. " She started working too hard and she nearly had time for me. I was in a particular school but my mother changed me to Tomoeda school so that I could be "closer" to her. So I met Sakura and she was always there for me even dough I was a very closed girl at first. She became my best friend. Ever since she had been like my sister, my only family. That’s why I was hurt that bad when she left."

"I see." Said Eriol thinking. There was a moment of silence and Eriol saw Tomoyo looking sad. "Come, I want to show you something."

Eriol took Tomoyo to a beautiful ball room in the house which had Eriol´s piano. It was lit only by a small light coming from a few candles on top of the piano. It was a very romantic atmosphere. When they entered, music was heard. It was Aerosmith´s "I don’t want to miss a thing."

"Music?" said Tomoyo surprised. Eriol knew what was happening. Nakuru was responsible for that... as always. Well... Eriol couldn’t miss this great chance.

"I’d be honored if you accepted to dance with me." Said Eriol in a very charming way, bowing.

"The honor would be mine." She said bowing also like a princess.

Eriol walked towards Tomoyo. He gently put his arms around her small and perfect waist. He felt a bit strange, but he didn’t even want to notice that feeling. Tomoyo also put her arms around his neck.

Eriol´s P.O.V._________________

"She smells so good, like vanilla and flowers... I can’t believe I’m here with her. I had never noticed how beautiful she is."

End of P.O.V._________________

Tomoyo´s P.O.V.______________

"I’m so thanked that Eriol has been always with me in most difficult moments. I kind of feel protected when I’m with him... Oh! What am I saying?... But he... he is so... kind and gentle with me..."

End of P.O.V__________________

They went on dancing but they nearly moved. They seemed they were just there... standing... in each other’s arms.

I’m close to you Feeling your heart beating And I wonder what you’re dreaming...

Tomoyo laid her head in his chest and Eriol embraced her tightly. Neither of them knew why but it felt so good...

But then I kiss your eyes And thank God we’re together I just want to stay with you In this moment forever...

They were dancing but they felt like almost flying. Both of them were drowned in their feelings which were confusing.

I don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep Because I miss you baby And I don’t want to miss a thing...   The song ended but they remained in each others arms for a while. Then they separated a bit.

"Eriol..." said Tomoyo still in his arms.

"Yes?"

"Thank you..."

"What for?"

"For everything..." she said hugging him again.

"You know I’ll always be there for you." He said.

Suddenly Tomoyo, as if remembering her lack of manners, separated from Eriol.

"I’m sorry." She said feeling a little embarrassed.

"It’s ok." Said Eriol. Suddenly Tomoyo didn’t know what to say but then turned to the piano.

"It’s beautiful. I wish I knew how to play it." She said sitting in the stool.

"I could teach you. It’s really easy." He sat besides her, opening the piano.

"Look..." he said grabbing her hands from her lap. "This are the white keys. And these are the black ones. Each one has a different sound and tone."

"Will you play for me?" she said looking at him.

"Sure. What do you want me to play?"

"Do you know... The moonlight sonata?" (My favorite song ever and ever *.*)

"Yes I do." He close his eyes and started playing it. The sound entered Tomoyo´s ears and she felt like in the middle of a dream. She could see Eriol play the song with such feeling. Tomoyo was looking at his eyes... those blue orbs. The song ended and Tomoyo clapped.

"Wow! That was amazing."

"Thank you." Eriol looked at her eyes, she looked at his eyes... Tomoyo couldn’t move. She felt like trapped in his eyes.
Eriol´s P.O.V._______________________

"Eriol.... What the hell are you waiting for? KISS HER!!! She’s there just for you and you do nothing?!? She’s beautiful, an angel to be exact."

End of P.O.V_______________________

Tomoyo´s P.O.V____________________

"What am I doing? No I can’t. But he’s so... No I can’t. I must do something or I’ll..."

end of P.O.V______________________

Eriol kept looking at her... Both of them without moving...

But...

"Suppiiiiiiiiiiii-chaaaaaaaannnn!!!" It was Nauru’s voice, obviously breaking the atmosphere (I really hate when someone does that!!!). "Come here and eat one of my extra-sugared cookies!!!!"

"I suppose Spinnel-san is always running from her, isn’t he?" said Tomoyo giggling.

" That’s nothing. You should have heard them when we went to visit a mother´s friend bakery. Fortunately I could stop her on time." He said standing up. "Wait please."

Eriol went to a corner of the ball room where there was a painting of an old lady which Eriol resembled to. He moved it revealing a small, secret drawer. He opened it and took a wooden necklace box. Then he returned with it.

"Look." He said to Tomoyo opening the box. Tomoyo was surprised. Inside, there was a beautiful firefly silver necklace with sapphires and diamonds in its wings.

"It’s beautiful." Said Tomoyo.

"It was my great grandmother’s" he said taking it out of the box. Then he looked at Tomoyo in her eyes. "It looks good on you." Tomoyo looked at him without understanding but than she felt something heavy in her neck. She touched it. She was wearing the necklace.

"How did you..?" she said looking at him.

"Don’t tell me you’ve forgot that I’m Clow´s half reincarnation?"

"Sometimes I’m still surprised… it’s not an everyday view. "

"My great grandfather gave it to her when they first met. That’s how they became friends at first." He said. "I want you to keep it."

"Excuse me? No, Eriol I... I can’t, it’s a very important part of your memories. I just couldn’t ke.." But before she could finish Eriol gently put his finger on her mouth silencing her.

"I want you to keep it." He said looking at her and grabbing her hand. "Because I want you to know that I’ll always be your friend, no matter how hard times should be. This was the symbol of my great grandparent’s friendship, and I want it to be ours as well."

"Eriol I don’t need this to remind me that you’ll always be my best friend." She said hugging him. "well... I guess it’s getting late." She said. "I have to go. Thank you for everything."

"It’s always been a pleasure to have your company." He said walking her to the door. "Do you want me to drive you home?"

"No, thank you. It’s a beautiful night and I prefer to walk." She said. "But I’ll see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Eriol, you promised me you would help me with some of my mother’s issues." She said looking at him and in a reclaiming way.

"Oh! Yes, sure I’ll be there." He said

"Good night." She said leaving.

"Good night miss." He said looking at her, dissapearing at the corner of the street.

It was a lovely night and Tomoyo was walking peacefully near the penguin park when she hard steps beside her. She started walking faster but the sound of steps increased. She turned around but saw no body. Then she turned around again and saw a man about forty something. He was walking towards her.

"You..." he said in a very low and menacing tone.

"What do you want?" said Tomoyo leaving her manners apart.

The man laughed evilly. "Your father took my company away... Now you shall pay for what he did to me." He said.

"My father?" she said surprised. She searched in her purse if she had her cell phone, but before she could take it out another person grabbed her from her back and put a cloth in her mouth and nose. It smelt strange. Tomoyo started feeling numb. Her eyes were closing. The man went to her putting a hand down her chin.

"...yes... you’ll pay." He said laughing. Tomoyo couldn’t move. She saw a big shadow in front of her and then... nothing else.
