Chapter 14 The delivering

Tomoyo couldn’t close her eyes that night, she just stayed sitting on her bed lying on the head of the bed. She never imagined the wedding was this close, she had the invitations in her hands which were the evidence proving the last months really happened. So soon…how strange it felt to know she had just one month of liberty left. She looked at her clock and saw it was almost seven o’clock in the morning and decided to get up and take a bath although she felt a little weak.

A knock was heard at her room’s door.

“Come in!” said Tomoyo.

“Hunny, I know it’s a little early but…” she stopped as she saw Tomoyo standing by her bed already dressed and looking ready to go. “are you going somewhere?” she asked looking at her.

“um… I was thinking on starting with the delivery.” She said pointing at the box next to her bed.

“Oh… I see you are excited.”

I actually want to get these out of here before they drive me mad.

“yes mom!... I can’t wait.” She lied.

“all right then... I’ll leave you to your own occupations dear.” She said kissing her in the forehead and leaving.

Tomoyo stayed in her same spot. She felt so heavy… she couldn’t move. She did want to get rid of all of the invitations right away but she perfectly knew that meant she had to deliver some of them personally, including the one labeled “Hiiragizawa”. She took a deep breath and carried the box downstairs then called her maids to start organizing the invitations according to the providences and leaving apart the important ones. Tomoyo ordered the maids to deliver the invitations as soon as possible and to make sure they were received by hand. There were just 5 invitations left, the Kinomoto’s, the Tsukishiro, two who were to be delivered in Hong Kong and of course… the Hiiragizawa’s.

Nakuru was dancing and floating cheerfully around the Hiiragizawa manor when she felt a familiar presence. She turned around and rushed towards the door to find Tomoyo standing there with her hand in course of knocking the door.

“I knew it was you!” she said hugging her excitedly.

“Nakuru you’re hurting me!” she said in between giggles.

“Oh I’m sorry…” she said letting her breathe. “What are you doing here? I mean… not that you’re not welcome… you know you can come at any time and…”

“Is Eriol at home?” she said smiling.

“Oh nooooo!!! You just missed him!!! He had to go and... well I don’t know he said something about getting everything clear…. Or clearing everything or was it?... who knows…”

“Oh I see… well I guess I’ll have to give this to you…” she said hanging Nakuru the cream white envelope.

Nakuru took the envelope and stared at it…

“And this is…” she asked.

“um… could you give it to him?” she tried to avoid the question.

Nakuru looked suspiciously at Tomoyo and then to the envelope in her hand and then understood.

“I’m sorry Tomoyo…” she said handing back the invitation. “I really think you should give this to the master personally…”

Tomoyo sighed and looked at Nakuru.

“um… I know…um it’s just that um… since you’re here and he’s not home well…”

“Correct me if I’m wrong but… weren’t you both kind of devoted to each other since…. Well since I can remember?” she asked with a hand in her hip.

“Why does everybody keep saying that?”

“Well. Maybe because even now it’s obvious you are not just friends. Tomoyo really…” Nakuru smiled at Tomoyo. “I’m sorry; I know it’s not my business.”

Tomoyo didn’t know how to answer to that because… well, it was actually a lot of people’s business as there were many involved. She couldn’t just spit all out to Nakuru and pretend everything will be just fine. Her plans with Kakero were supposed to work but lately it seemed he didn’t even care. How was she supposed to explain all the awkward things that had happened in the last months? Her head started aching so she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“Are you all right?” asked Nakuru worried.

Tomoyo shook her head and smiled.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m just a bit tired.” She took the white envelope from Nakuru’s hand. “I’ll be back later, please tell Eriol I came, will you?”

“Of course.”

Tomoyo left Eriol’s house and decided to deliver the rest of the special invitations so that she could clear her mind and prepare to see Eriol later.


Touya was gathering some books he needed on his room when he heard a knock on the door. He rushed downstairs and opened the door to see Tomoyo standing outside.

“Tomoyo! Hi! I didn’t expect you.” He said welcoming her.

She entered without saying a word as she was preparing herself mentally and tried to ignore the terrible headache she had since morning.

“What bring you here?” he asked with a smile.

“I came…” she said taking out of her purse a white envelope. “to give you this…”

Touya took the envelope and opened it.

“Oh I see… so, the big day is almost here right?” he said not sounding really happy but Tomoyo tried to ignore his tone and smiled.

“Yes… I’m pretty excited. I almost can’t believe it myself.”

“and there is an engagement party three days before the wedding as I understand here.” He said with his eyes still on the invitation.

“yes… that was Kakero’s idea. He said it would be a good day to get along better with everyone…” she shrugged her shoulders.

“Be sure to count on us…” he said placing the invitation on the kitchen table and then smiling at Tomoyo.

“I’m glad to hear that.” She stood up. “I have to go. I still have more invitations to deliver.”

Touya walked her to the door.

“Take care Tomoyo. I hope to see you around more often and not just every time you get married…” he said mocking her.

“Say hi to your dad.” She said smiling. “I’ll come to visit him on of these days.”

“I hope you do…”

Tomoyo waved at Touya with a smile and got into her car. Again that headache was bothering her.

“ok…” she said with a hand on her forehead. “we have left… Naoko, Chiharu, Rika… and Yuki.” She said counting the invitations. “Here we go…”


Eriol had to get answers… he couldn’t stop thinking. What’s wrong with her? What the hell did Yue mean by what he said? Those questions kept pacing in his mind. He was driving in his car with no exact destination and after a few minutes he was passing by the Daidoujii manor. He had a strong desire to see her, he had to see her so he decided to make a quick stop. He walked towards the entrance door and felt a lump in his stomach as he remembered his last conversation, if anyone can call that a conversation, she had had with Tomoyo, his stupid attempt to justify a midnight call. He wanted to stop but too late… he had ringed the door bell. One of Tomoyo’s maids opened the door.

“Master Hiiragizawa, welcome.”

“Thank you Ria… Is Tomoyo at home?” he asked a bit nervous.

“I’m afraid not master, she left early this morning. She hasn’t returned.”

“All right then. Please tell her I came.” He said turning around.

“Master Hiiragizawa!” the girl said before he left.

“Yes?”

“I remember she mentioned something about going to your manor.”

“Thank you, Ria.”

“At your service Master.” Said the girl bowing and then closed the door.

What he had to do seemed quite obvious so he drove back home.

It was almost seven o’clock at night and Tomoyo was exhausted because of the long delivery day she had have but she was still missing one invitation, Eriol’s. She really wanted to get back home as the whole day headache was now making her dizzy but she also realized that she wasn’t going to be able to sleep until she got that invitation on the correct hands. Her head was almost bursting and then she realized she hadn’t eaten in the entire day, the only thing she had in her stomach was a coffee and two macadamia bites.

I’ll eat as soon as I get out of here… good excuse to just enter, give him the invitation and leave…

She took a deep, deep breath and climbed down her car, she ringed the doorbell but nobody answered.

How strange… there’s always someone at home at this hour.

She ringed the bell again but once more, no one answered. Tomoyo decided it was a matter of destiny so she decided to leave but when she turned around she freaked out as she collided with someone she didn’t expect… Eriol.

“Oh my gosh!” said Tomoyo with a hand in her chest. “Do that again and you’ll get me a heart attack…”

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.” He said smiling.

“For how long have you been standing behind me?”

“I actually followed you from your car.”

“And you couldn’t say hi or hello or good night or something…” she had to stop as she felt the floor was not exactly solid; she had to lean against the entrance door to prevent a fall. Eriol grabbed her arm.

“Are you all right?” he asked worried.

“Yeah… I just felt a bit dizzy. I’m fine really.” She said standing straight again.

“Come on in.”

They both entered and Tomoyo felt a bit strange… there was a sense of peace in the house, everything was so calmed and she hadn’t been attacked by anyone yet. Eriol went into the kitchen and then came back with what seemed a cup of tea.

“Everything is so quiet…” she said more to herself than to him.

“Yes…” he said chuckling. “Nakuru and Spinel decided to go “supposedly” for dinner. They called me a few minutes ago.”

As she heard this Tomoyo wondered if it was one of Nakuru’s evil plans to leave them alone… again. Eriol handed Tomoyo the cup.

“Drink this. It will make you feel better.”

“Thank you.” She said taking the cup but resting it in her hands.

Eriol looked at her.

“Nakuru told me you came earlier.”

“Oh yes…” she said starting to feel that lump in her stomach once again. ”Um… may I use your restroom?”

Eriol looked puzzled but he nodded. Tomoyo tried to stand up but she felt again the floor wasn’t even close to being solid and right before she touched floor Eriol grabbed her.

“What’s wrong Tomoyo?” he asked helping her to sit down again. “Have you eaten yet?”

“Yes…” she didn’t sound convincing… at all.

“Since when?”

“This morning?” she said with a childish tone.

Eriol sighed and took the cup from the center table.

“You’re going to drink this now.”

“I have to go home…”

“I know but in this state you won’t be able to make it outside the living room so…”

Tomoyo smiled at him an then drained the contents of the cup feeling the warm liquid enter freely, it felt really good.

“Better?” he asked after a few seconds and surprisingly she was feeling much better.

“Yes! What’s this?” she said leaving the cup in the table.

“I call it honey water. It’s mostly carbohydrates.”

“Wow… family recipe?”

“Yes well, actually I had an aunt who had diabetes and every time she had a sugar de-compensation she had to drink this. It’s not a medicine but it served also in cases like this one.”

“Oh I see…”

Tomoyo started thinking about what he just said… “aunt”… she had actually never met Eriol’s family and he did have one, I mean… he didn’t just pop out from earth one day. She realized he was very lonely, without Nakuru or Spinel his house was empty and she wondered how many evening he had spent alone like this in the past. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence she finally tried to stand up with Eriol helping her.

“I’m all right thanks.” She said smiling at him.

“Just promises me that as soon as you get home you’ll eat something.” He said pointing a menacing finger at her.

“I promise…” she said smiling.

They both started walking, Tomoyo in front of him but just then the reason she was in his house came back to her mind. She took from her purse the white envelope and turned suddenly around making her collide, once again, with him which caused the envelope to fall to the ground.

“Oh I’m sorry…” she said a bit embarrassed.

“You’re going to have to stop doing that!” he said mocking her.

They both leaned to get the envelope and their heads bumped against one another making them laugh, Tomoyo had the envelope in her hand. They both looked at each other with a hand in the aching spot in their heads.

“fool!” she said to him still giggling.

“Hey I was just trying to be polite by helping you with the… whatever that is.” He said pointing at Tomoyo’s hand.

“Are you all right?” Asked Tomoyo and by instinct she touched Eriol’s forehead looking for a bruise making Eriol shiver at her touch.

“I’m fine…” he said taking her hand which was still on his face.

They looked at each other without saying a word; they were both feeling strange, nervous… They couldn’t move, not an inch. They both felt their bodies were approaching each other unintentionally and even when Tomoyo tried to stop herself she couldn’t. Their lips were half inch from each others and their brains were sending mayor stop signals which they both ignored. Eriol wrapped his arms around her waist and trapped her in a sweet kiss which made her insides jelly like. She looked into his eyes and now she kissed him back. The kiss was slow and tender at first but Eriol deepened it as she felt her arms wrapping around his neck as they kissed. They both forgot about everything else around them and just enjoyed the moment as the white envelope was ignored as it fell faintly to the ground without either of them noticing.

A few minutes later…

Tomoyo came running inside her house as fast as she could as her maids were trying to greet her but she didn’t listen. She came inside her room and dropped herself in her bed not being able to hide the huge smile on her face which was caused by millions of strange emotions. She started running her fingers through her lips remembering what had just happened at Eriol’s manor, the forbidden kiss. She bit her lip and turned around hiding her head in her pillow mentally smacking herself for running away like a coward leaving Eriol without saying a single word. She felt so afraid but at the same time very happy but then she started feeling how a tremendous fear was growing inside of her. What was she supposed to tell Kakero? Well, he didn’t have to know, after all he wouldn’t care… right? And how was she going to face Eriol again… at least she didn’t have to see him by now as she had given him the…

The invitation…. THE INVITATION oh-my-gosh! I dropped it! In his living room and I left without saying a word… this can’t be happening…

Tomoyo started laughing at the situation although it wasn’t funny… at all.


Eriol was shocked…

what the hell have I done… wait a minute… I? It was her fault! She’s so… beautiful and… she… she… kissed me back… what…

Eriol was still standing in the same spot trying to process what had just happened and he felt numb. He did feel happy but at the same time he didn’t understand why she had kissed him and then ran away when she’s marrying another guy. He gave a small step back and stepped in a white envelope.

Oh… she forgot this…

He picked it up and read the golden letters behind the transparent cover… Hiiragizawa. He opened it and after he read it a sort of smirk appeared in his face as he started singing a known tune.

“And isn’t it ironic… don’t youuuu think…” he sung and shook his head.

Eriol had decided it was it… this was way too much. If he wanted answers he was going to look for them and the first person… well, source of information, was no other than Yue. He rushed to Yuki’s house decided to get answers. He rushed out of his car and rang the house bell. A moment after Yuki came out looking surprised by the visit.

“Eriol! What a surprise I didn’t expect you.”

“I know… I’m sorry but… are you alone?”

“yes…” he looked suspiciously at Eriol. “why?”

“I need to talk with Yue.”

“Oh I see…” he said smiling. “Come in please.”

They both entered the house and sat on the living room. Eriol looked at Yuki who was just sitting there looking at him.

“So…” said Eriol as no change had occurred.

“I’m sorry but he says he has nothing to talk about.” Said Yuki with his eyes closed.

“Fine” said Eriol standing up. “I’m sorry Yuki.” Yuki looked at him as Eriol raised his hand in front of him. “I command you to face your creator moon guardian.”

As soon as Eriol said that a golden light surrounded Yuki and seconds after Yue appeared on scene.

“I don’t know what makes you think you can still do that.” Said Yue coldly.

“As long as it works.” Responded Eriol. “I asked nicely.”

Yue gave Eriol a sort of smirk and turned around in an intent to leave.

“You know you can’t go anywhere…”

“Let me guess…” said Yue turning around. “You are here because you couldn’t stop thinking about what I said the other day about Daidoujii right?”

Eriol just nodded.

“You are too slow Clow.” He said making a gesture with a hand in his head.

“I want you to tell me what you know…”

“And what makes you think I will say anything to you or anyone…”

“Because she is sad and she’s been acting strange and I know there’s something wrong and she won’t tell me.”

“And what makes you think I care about that kid.”

“I know you do…”

Yue gave a little sigh and looked at Eriol.

“Either you’re blind or you don’t want to see. You welcomed the enemy to your lives Clow.”

“What do you mean?” he said not understanding.

“You should maybe have a… “small chat” with Daidoujii’s so called fiancé.”

“Kakero?” he asked without completely understanding.

“As I said… you are too slow.”

Eriol knew he wasn’t going to get anything more out of him so he decided to stop.

“All right… thanks anyway.” Said Eriol preparing to leave.

“Oh and Clow…” said Yue before Eriol left. “Just try not to act stupid…”

Eriol didn’t quite understand but he knew what he had to do… and he left Yuki’s house with more questions than before.
