Chapter 4 Twisted ambitions

******************************************************** *****

It was late that night. A little girl was walking by the hand of her father. She was lovely and seemed like a little angel. Both of them were chatting happily while the little girl was eating an ice cream.

"Dadi...” said the little girl.”Why can’t I touch the stars?"

"Well... They are in the sky to guide you at night. You can’t touch them yet, because they are for every person in the world and you are too young to reach them." He said looking at the sad face of his daughter.

"But one day you’ll be one of them."

"Really!!! How could I?"

"When people die and go to heaven they are gifted with a special light to guide their beloved on earth. If you are a good girl, when you pass away, you’ll become a star too."

"And when will that be?" she said looking at the sky.

"Oh, be patient. You have a long and beautiful life to live. And when it’s over then you’ll go." The little girl hesitated for a moment.

"Is grandma there too?" she said finally, looking at her father.

"Of course! Do you see that huge star up there?" He said pointing at a very shiny star. "That is your grandmother. She became an angle and..."

Steps were heard from the trees near them.

"What’s wrong dadi?" she asked.

"Nothing." He said starting to walk faster. "Maybe there’s just a little animal."

Suddenly a man emerged from the trees followed by other three.

"Daidouji..." he said.”I thought we were friends and you... you’ve betrayed me."

Mr. Daidouji turned to his daughter and embraced her. "Listen to me. I want you to run as fast as possible to our house. Do you understand?" he said looking at her.

"But why?" she said

"It doesn’t matter what you hear. Run and don’t face back until you get home. I need to make clear some issues with this gentleman."

"Daidouji!!! Are you listening to me?!!!!??? Said the mysterious man behind them. "Oh so you don’t answer... Take his daughter!" he ordered to the other men.

"No! Don’t you dare touch her. This problem is between us. She has nothing to do." He said. Then he turned to the little girl. "Go! Run as fast as you can and tell your mother."

"But...” she said almost crying.

"You can be my only hope. I need you to help me. Now go." The little girl just nodded with tears in her eyes and ran as fast as her little five- year-old girl feet could run. She heard a discussion as she was running and then a gun shot but she didn’t stop until she got home. She entered running and crying.

"Mom!!!!" she screamed. One of her maids was cleaning the entrance.

"Miss!!! What’s wrong?"

"Dadi... he... a man... and then." She said not being able to talk too much.

"Mistress!!" she said running up-stairs.

About five minutes had passed when a knock was heard at the door. The little girl opened it. There was her father... bleeding. He could hardly walk and when he entered he dropped himself in the carpet. The maids saw by the cameras that he had entered and called for his wife. They brought water and a towel and some others were preparing things and calling the police. Two of them were trying to do something for him.

"DAD..DAD..." said the little girl crying. "Please.. Dad."

"My... lit..little angel." He said drying her tears with his hand.

The woman came as fast as she could to see her husband. The two maids were cleaning the wound. They were crying too.

"Oh no... dear.. how.." she said crying and taking his hand.

"Tatsu...Tatsuna..ga." he said almost in a whisper. The little girl was crying out loud and her father looked at her. "Don’t worry baby... I... Pro..mise I’ll be... your star... and I’ll guide you... for.. ever..."

"Dad.. no.. no... stay please.. don’t go." She said. Then he looked at his wife. "I love... you.." he said. The girl was desperate looking at her father dying. He started coughing and bleeding even more.

"RITSKO!!! Take my daughter up stairs." She said almost drowning in her tears.

"Yes Mistress." She said cleaning her tears and carrying the girl while she was kicking and screaming. "DAAAAD....NOOO PLEASE DAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!" she just saw her mother embracing the inert body of her father.

********************************************************** *****

8:00 am

"No!..." Tomoyo opened her eyes. She had a headache and saw very little. "What was that?" she said trying to understand the strange dream. She the noticed she was in a place she didn’t recognize. It looked like she was in a very big and dark room. "Where am I?" she said climbing down of a huge bed and looking with wonder the whole room.

"So you’ve awakened." Said a voice behind her. She turned and saw a boy about her age or maybe older.

"Who are you and what am I doing here?" she said to him.

"I am.."

"He’s my son. Kakero." Interrupted a man.

"What...and…you…" said Tomoyo.

"My dear... I’m just a friend of your father."

"Friend?! What are you talking about? Just in case you haven’t noticed you’ve just kidnapped me." she said sounding pretty obvious.

"I didn’t kidnap you. You belonged to me. Well not exactly to me.. to my son."

"BEG YOUR PARDON???!!" she said very surprised.

"You see... Long time ago.. about 15 years if my calculations are correct, your father broke the engagement between you and Kakero. But not satisfied with that he made my company go to ruin and I was taken to jail." He said walking around her. "But of course, they couldn’t hold me in a jail for too long... hahaha." He said with an evil tone. "I got... REVENGE. I took away his life with my own hands..."

Tomoyo´s eyes grew wide. "Y..you..."

**Flash back**

"Tatsu...Tatsuna..ga." he said almost in a whisper. The little girl was crying out loud and her father looked at her. "Don’t worry baby... I... Pro..mise I’ll be... your star... and I’ll guide you... for.. ever..."

End of **Flash back**

"Tatsunaga! YOU KILLED HIM!!!" she said running to him then she slapped him in the face. "How dare you..." Tomoyo´s eyes were filled with tears of anger and sadness. She was rying to hit him but he grabbed her wrists and just laughed a little.

"You look beautiful when you get angry. You’ll be a perfect wife for my son. Strong and determined."

"I’m not marrying the son of my father’s murderer!!! EVER!!!" she said shouting to him.

"Oh yes you will..." he said throwing Tomoyo to the bed. Then he left the room with his son. Tomoyo ran towards the door trying to open it. She couldn’t. She dropped herself in the floor and started crying.

Eriol's manor

RING RING!!!

Eriol picked up the phone a little sleepy.

"Hiragizawa manor." He said

"Eriol?"

"Daidouji-san!!" he said a little surprised. "What a pleasant surprise."

"Eriol I know this will sound strange but for this time I hope Tomoyo is at your home." She said worried.

"No, she isn’t. She left last night. After dinner." He said to her. "Is she ok?" "Oh GOD!!! I don’t know." She started crying. " I just got home from Italy and the maids told me she didn’t arrive home last night and I’ve already called her friends and she... she isn’t anywhere around!!"

"What!!! But... How..?" said Eriol thinking. "I saw her leaving last night. Actually it wasn’t late.”   “I shouldn’t have left on that stupid trip…” she said starting to cry.   “It’s not your fault… I should have never let her go alone at night.”   “We need to do something…. I can’t even think…”   “Do not worry, I’ll be there in a minute.” He said hanging up.

At Daidouji's manor

"Thank you for coming." Said Tomoyo´s mother, Sonomi, with red eyes and broken voice. "I’ve already called the detectives but they say they can do nothing until she’s lost for 24 hrs."

"Damn it.” Eriol was so angry he couldn’t think. The only thing that was in his mind was the idea of Tomoyo in a strange place. “Where… where are you Tomoyo…?”   ______________________________________________ _____________

Tomoyo stopped crying. She knew that not even her tears could bring her father back to her. She stood up and went to the bed and she sat down. How can someone be such a cruel, senseless person and decide the life of his victim’s daughter? She didn’t know. The only thing in her mind was how to get out of there and warn her mother about him. She saw that she still had the necklace Eriol had given her. She took it and pressed it tightly in her hands. "Eriol... Where are you?" she said falling asleep.

__________________________________________________________ ___   RING-RING   “Hello? Oh Eriol… have you heard anything?” said Sonomi   “No, not yet…” said Eriol “I was thinking, do you think there is someone willing to harm you or… the company maybe?”   “No… We have always had good relationships in business since…”   *Flashback*   “what??? But darling… it’s impossible. I can’t believe that Tatsunaga…”   “I know… I can’t believe it myself.” Said Mr. Daidouji. “We have to tell the authorities.” He said looking at the window. Sonomi hugged her husband.   “Do you think it is the only way?” she said.   “I fear so, darling.” He said looking at her. “But I must be very careful. Who knows what Tatsunaga is capable of.”   “He changed a lot ever since Rellena died.”   “We must be careful my dear… very careful…”   *end of flashback*     “Mrs. Daidouji are you allright?”   “Yes… yes, Eriol we need to talk…”   Daidouji’s Manor    "So tell me who did you say could do something like this?"

"There was a man. Very good friend of my husband who had a candy company called "Toffee Munches"."

"Oh yes I’ve heard about that company. It was closed, wasn’t it?"

"Yes. The owner was Masato Tatsunaga, a very wealthy man. My husband promised him that he could have Tomoyo´s hand if his son would agree and make one family as a sign of their friendship. But one day he went to Tatsunaga's company. He has offered him that if they joined "Daidouji Toys" and "Toffee Munches" they could make a super company."

"so. What happened?" said Eriol.

"He had this plan. They would make a huge inversion in a special candy which had a certain type if virus. They would infect all children with the candies and then in the Tatsunaga pharmacies they would sell the cure for a lot of money. They had everything planned and let me tell you it was amazing how careful they were with all these, they just needed My husband’s sign." She sighed.

"He came home and told me everything. Of course he had refused the offer and he wanted to stop this criminal so he sent our detectives to recover evidences and take them to the police. So, he did and the company was closed. Tatsunaga was very angry at him and one night he followed my husband and then he... he killed him. Tomoyo was there. There were no other evidences about him killing my husband than Tomoyo´s statements but after this happened she didn’t talk too much. She became a very silent girl and we couldn’t get the information to accuse him. Tatsunaga was put in jail but just for the candy charges."

"Then how can you say he’s the one?"

"Five years ago I received a menace phone call saying that he wouldn’t rest until all Daidouji family was his. I told the police but they said that Tatsunaga had died two years ago from then. That he had appeared dead in his cell."

Eriol thought for a while and then stood up. "I’ll find her" he said. "I promise I will. I won’t let anything happen to her."

"Thank you." Said Sonomi.

__________________________________________________________ _

Eriol was trying to locate Tomoyo EVERYWHERE. In his house he was pacing all around like a mad man.

"Where could she be... what if... no... maybe she’s... no..."

"Master" said Spinnel. "Could you stop that? You look like your descendant the day before his engagement."

"I know but I can’t help it... I need to find her." He said still pacing.

"Isn’t there anything that can help you find her?" said Spinnel.

”I don’t know Spinnel… I don’t know.”

A knock was heard and Tomoyo woke up. She got up and noticed she was wearing a night gown.   “who is it?” she said approaching the door.   “Miss. Daidouji. I brought you something to eat.”   “Who are you?” said Tomoyo still not opening the door.   “I am a friend.” It was Kakero, Tatsunaga´s son.

"Go away." She said.

“Fine. I’ll leave this here so you can eat.” He said leaving everything on a table in one side of the door. “ I’ll send you someone so you can get changed.”   Tomoyo stayed next to the door expecting to hear something but she heard nothing.   “A friend…” she said to herself. “Yeah, right.”   She then approached the window and opened the curtains. She was astonished by the beauty of the view. She started wondering if she was still in Japan. Everything looked so different…   “Are you feeling allright miss?” there was a woman standing by the door.   “Who are you?”   “Young master told me to come and help you get dressed.” The woman answered. She had a warm and calming voice.   Tomoyo didn’t answer. She was just staring at the window. The woman walked into the room and opened a door leading to what appeared to be a dressing room.   “Many beautiful dresses have been brought for you miss.” She was looking at Tomoyo who was just staring at the window. “Can I help you with anything?”   “Why am I here? What is this place? I want to leave… I…” Tomoyo put her hands in her face and started crying.   “Well, here is the food young master brought for you.” Said the woman putting the food on a small table in the center or the room. “My name is Rochelle, if you need anything there is a button at the side of your bed. Just press it and I’ll come.”   Tomoyo didn’t look at her and the woman left the room. She then walked into the dressing room. There were a lot of dresses and shoes so she got dressed and decided to leave the room but there was a problem, the door was closed.   “Of course you stupid…” she said to herself. And then a knock was heard again at the door.   “It’s me again…” said Kakero. “May I come in?”   Tomoyo didn’t answer.   “I guess I’ll take that as a yes.” He opened the door and saw Tomoyo standing by the bed and looking at him. “You look beautiful in that dress.”   She just turned her head.   “so…you are not talking to me..” he said walking towards her.   Tomoyo saw he was getting closer. “Stay away from me.” She said in a menacing tone and turning around.   “Listen girl, I was the first one who opposed to this.”   “And why should I believe you? Didn’t you listen to him?! I mean…” she said remembering what Kakero’s father had said.   "I know he’s a bit mad but not even I can stop him." He said sadly.

Tomoyo looked at him suspiciously. "Aren’t you on his side?"

"No! Of course not!" he said sitting on a chair next to her. "Look. I won’t harm you. I swear it’s just that I can’t go against my father. His plan is that you’ll marry me and you being the only heiress to the Daidouji Toys, they’ll pass to me and he’ll take his ever so wanted power."

"Wow." She said sighing. "Is he mad or what. What in this world makes him think I’ll marry you? I mean no offense." She said to him.

"ha-ha... I know." He looked at the floor. "Yet, he told me he had some persuasive methods that can make you agree."

"He can do whatever he wants." She said.

"Well, Are you hungry?" he said to her.

"A bit."

"Would you like to come and eat with me? I see you haven’t touched what I brought you."   Tomoyo looked at him with a YES- SURE-I´LL-EAT-WITH-MY-FATHER´S-MURDERER look.   "Don’t worry, my father is not here. He went out to complete some business."

Tomoyo didn’t move.   “Come on…” said Kakero. “You are not expecting to stay in this room, are you?”   “Fine…” And both of them went down to the dinning room.

Tomoyo hadn’t realized but she was in a huge house. It had lots of rooms and beautiful paintings. She was surprised by the beauty of the house.

"Do you live here?" she asked.

"Yes, I used to live here with my mother too but... she died 16 years ago... I was seven years old." He said in a low tone.

"I’m sorry." “Well, it was not your fault.” He said smiling to her.

They entered to the dinning room.

"Sit down please." He told her.   The room was really nice. It had beautiful painting all over the walls and it reminded her about…   "Ever since my mother died my father hasn’t been the same. He gets drunk almost every three days, he cries and shouts. He blames himself for her death."

"How did..." she said but stopped before finishing.

"She had cancer. My father blames himself everyday because even dough he had this big pharmaceutics company he couldn’t fin the cure for my mom’s illness. That’s why he wanted long time ago to join with your father’s company. He needed the money for investigations and stuff."

"I...I didn’t know." She said surprised. "I thought he only wanted to be rich."

"My father was a good man but when mom died he ran mad. That’s why he... He wants to get all the revenge he can owning Daidouji Toys. That’s why he wants you here."

"But... I mean why don’t you stop him?? He tried to kill lots of people with the candy-virus plan to get the money and save your mother!!! How could he think that killing all those people he could save her!"

"I know! And that’s why I’ve always tried to stop him but I can’t."

"Then help me." She said to him. "Help me to get out of here. I’ll talk to my mother and tell her. We’ll try to help your father."

"I can’t even if I wanted to." He said to her. "I’m a prisoner in my own house I don’t know how to get out of here. The only way is going out with my father. He may be mad but he knows perfectly I don’t agree with him."

"Don’t worry, I’ll get us both out of here." She said grabbing her necklace. “Eriol…” she whispered to herself.   ___________________________________________________________ ________________   “Did you hear that?” asker Eriol very surprised.   “What, master?” answered Spinnel   “Tomoyo… It was her…her voice…” he said getting up.   “Master I think you should…”

"I know where she is!!!!!" said Eriol. "It’s just that I don’t know exactly the place but I… I must find out.”

"How can you master?" said Spinnel.

"I’m a sorcerer right? Then I’ll use my magic and you’ll see." He closed his eyes and started concentrating. "Come on Tomoyo tell me… where are you?"

"Master!!! Why don’t you use Clow's mirror." Said Spinnel.

"You’re right!!" he said getting out of the room to enter another one which seemed it hadn’t been used for a long time. (A/N: Eriol has in his house a room which has all Clow’s thing from before he died. There’s a mirror through which he can see and talk to any person who has a mirror. Like a huge window. Clow wasn’t a saint of course. Hehe...)

It was a dark room and Eriol stepped in front of a huge red mirror.

"I hope she’s fine" He said taking out his sun key to release his wand. "well” he sighed. “here we go..."
