Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Tomoyo's Secret ❯ You decide (the readers) ( Chapter 7 )

[ A - All Readers ]

That night, it was precisely midnight.
Tomoyo was still awake. She took the envelope and unsealed it. She found a picture of her father and mother and also herself when she was three. She was so touch to see the picture. Then she found a letter for her. It says (I don't know Tomoyo's father name so I name him as Spiro) 'Dear Tomoyo, when you are reading this I have no longer existed. When the day you were born, I can feel something special from you. Your existents fill the Daidouji's family with happiness. You have the power to bring happiness for everyone. Your sweet smile and your shining eye. You must've been a very kind, soft and an attractive girl now. If I have a chance to live again, the first person I would want to see is you. I leave this letter for you is because I wanted to tell you something important. I was raise in a famous family. They treated me like a treasure and I love them very much. Then one day, a strange boy appears in front of the mansion. My parents were so kind that they let the boy stay there, though. His name is Mong Yuet. They treated him just like how they treated me, but it was the beginning of the tragedy. Since the day when the boy came to the mansion, everything was changing. My parents started to quarrel; the maids began to get very scared whenever they see Yuet and the mansion gets creepier everyday. Three month later, my father past away and Yuet was smiling sheepishly at the funeral. My mother didn't even cared about my father's death'. Tomoyo was horrified of the story but she continue on reading it. 'But one thing kept on spinning in my brain. That is he never spoke to me, not even saying hello to me since the first day he arrives there. But he always looks at me with an evil look. One day, my mother was ill. I kept her company and she revealed her family secret to me and also why did she acts like she don't care about my father. She said Yuet had cast a spell in the house and she had to act that way so that Yuet will not notice that she was free from his spell. She was easily freed from it, is because she has the blood of a powerful sorcerer. She was the sorcerer daughter. Yet the sorcerers name is Fu Ming and her real name is Fu Ying. She told me everything about her past and lastly she removes all of her magic to me. She said I had my own power that is the power of light and heals. That's why I wasn't infected by the spell. Then suddenly my mother holds her throat and it seems like there was something stuck in it. Then she cough and bloods came out from her mouth. Her blood was everywhere on her bed. Then she was silent and then she called my name. She said to me her last words…

"My dear son, after I'm gone I want you to go as far as you could from this house. And don't you ever return to this house. Try to stay undetected by Mong Yuet. Go to Japan and a place called Tomoeda. Stay there, it's the only place he can't find you." Ying

"But mother, why Japan?" Spiro

"My brother live there and he can protect you from any harm. Now go! He's coming! Go, quickly!!" Ying

"Um, but mother…" Spiro

"No but, just go! Don't be stubborn." Ying

Then she throws a light towards me and I was trap in it. I was shouting as loud as I could but then I was unconscious. When I wake up, the first thing I saw is Tokyo Tower. I was floating on top of it with the help of the transparent light that was throw to me by my mother.' Tears wet Tomoyo's face but she still keeps on reading it. 'Then I fly till' it stops in front of a huge mansion. A man came out from the mansion and he greets me. He took me inside the mansion. The mansion was just like mine. Then the man spoke.

"How are you Spiro? And where's your mother?" the man

"Huh, mother? She's-she's…she's dead." Spiro

The man was very shock that his jaw was wide open to hear the news.

"How? When?" The man

"Yesterday. She was killed by a spell." Spiro

"Ying, I'm sorry for not protecting you. Who did that to her?" the man

"Um, a boy about my age name Mong Yuet." Spiro

"Mong Yuet? I should've known." The man

"Um, may I ask?" Spiro

"Of course, what is it?" the man

"Who are you?" Spiro

"I'm your uncle, my name's Toshi." The man

"So you're my mother's brother. Finally I've found you." Spiro

"Yes, and I'll help and train you to control your magic well." Toshi

"Thank you." Spiro

"You had a strong magic in you so I'm going to let it out. But first, I need to teach you how to speak Japanese. Um, or a bath first." Toshi

After that day I practice as hard as I could to achieve the best. Uncle Toshi said I had a potential to be the greatest Sorcerer alive. But there's a bit of mistake that is I could not let out all of the powers. It's because the power came from a woman and it suits only woman. That's why I place it in your body.' Tomoyo's eyes widened. ' Yes, you must've be very shock now won't you? Don't worry, soon enough you'll discovered it yourself. Then I met your mother, she has the spirit of a man. That's what I like about her. But she's kind of in love with her cousin, Nadeshiko. I married her and a year later she was ready to labour you. There you are born to this world in a perfect shape. When you were three I can feel your strength, you have it all. Gentle, beautiful and kindness in you. But then so ever, I felt Yuet's aura getting stronger and nearer. That's why I leave you and your mother. Your mother was crying everyday and night. She knows that I will never return again. She forbids me to go. But I insist to go and leaving the both of you together. You might be thinking where I am now. And I bet your mother told you that I'm still alive and travelling all around the world. Well, the truth is I was killed in the battle between Yuet and me. Now I know why he didn't cast any spell on me. It's because he was waiting for you to be born. He wants you. You might think I'm still alive when I said that but I can see the future. And I can see you will be meeting a boy who was a reincarnation of the greatest magician ever live, Clow Reed. And he is going to protect you from any harm. He's the one who's gonna teach you how to control your power. And I can see something more between you two. But I will not tell you what is it. I want you to find it out by your self and by the way there's something for you in the envelope. Well I have to pen off now. Sayonara, my dear sweet.

Love, Spiro, your loving father.

Tomoyo, sadly check inside the envelope and found nothing. But she just leave it behind and went to sleep.

The next morning,
Tomoyo wakes up a bit late than she usually does. She step out of her room and was greet by Eriol. Eriol has done breakfast for her. She smiles at Eriol.

"Ohayo, Tomoyo-san. I've done breakfast for you, hope you'll love it." Eriol

"Ohayo, and arigato Eriol-kun. You done have to do this, by the way you're a guest here." Tomoyo

"Consider it as a birthday present. Um, here, for you." Eriol

Eriol handed her a small gift box. She accepted it.

"What is this?" Tomoyo

"See it for your self. I hope you'll like it." Eriol

She opens the box and found a platinum necklace with a sun shape locket (it looks like Eriol's sun wand).

"Eriol-kun, this present is too much I can't accept it. It's too valuable." Tomoyo

"Don't worry, just take it. I really want you to have it. It belongs to Clow's Mistress, Li Siu Lan." Eriol

"Really? Huh, Clow's Mistress? Do you mean that…" Tomoyo

Eriol cut her before she could finish her word.

"Yes, it's a belongings of Clow's Mistress. And I really want you to have it." Eriol

"But why, it's very expensive. I can't..." Tomoyo

"I gave it to is because you have the same personality as the Clow's Mistress. It's like the both of you posses the same spirit. The sweet spirit." Eriol

"That's so sweet of you Eriol-kun. Alright, I'll accept it and thank you for it." Tomoyo

"Oh yeah, have you open the envelope?" Eriol

Tomoyo's face turns pale. Eriol notices this and he ask her.

"What is it, Tomoyo-san?" Eriol

"Nothing. I'm fine." Tomoyo

"Are you sure about that? You don't look too well." Eriol

"I…um, here. Read it yourself." Tomoyo

Said Tomoyo as she handed the envelope to Eriol. Eriol read it, after finish reading it he looks at her.

"No wonder you that you don't look really happy." Eriol

"Eriol-kun, I caused my father's death. He was killed in a battle because of me. And he leaves my mother because of me! I feel so guilty!" Tomoyo

Tomoyo drop to her knees sobbing her tears. Eriol came closer to her and hugs her. She was so surprise, but she decided to wrap her arms around him.

"Don't say that. I can feel that your father really loves you. That's why he does that. Now, rub your tears Tomoyo-san." Eriol

Says Eriol as he handed a handkerchief to her. Tomoyo look at him straight in the eyes.

"Have you read the last part?" Tomoyo

"Yes, I have." Eriol

"Do you think I have magical abilities?" Tomoyo

"Well, it says here you do and …" Eriol

"And?" Tomoyo

"I'm not quite sure about it. But if you don't mind, I could possibly let it out." Eriol

"You mean it?" Tomoyo

"Of course." Eriol

"Wait, I've think about it and I don't think I wanna do it." Tomoyo

"Why?" Eriol

"I think I'm not ready to go through my life as a sorcerer or a magician." Tomoyo

"I understand, I was once like you. But it is my destiny as the reincarnation of Clow Reed. I can't stop it from happening only waiting for it as it is my fate." Eriol

"Why must I go through this kind of life? What you say is right but if it's really fate then let it happen naturally, okay?" Tomoyo

"If you insist so, I'm not gonna urge you." Eriol

"Arigato, Eriol-kun. You're so sweet." Tomoyo

"You are welcome, Lady Tomoyo." Eriol

Tomoyo laugh a little.

"Since when I've become a 'lady'?" Tomoyo

"You are already a lady Tomoyo-san. Since the first day I saw you here, I can't believe that it's really you. You've grown very well. And you are a lady since I met you at Japan. Even you're still a primary school student but you're brain work as good as Albert Einstein." Eriol

"Stop it or I'll zip your mouth. But it's quite amusing. Ah yes, school break is ending next week. Have you done your assignment?" Tomoyo

"Yes. Why did you ask?" Eriol

"I want to borrow it, can I?" Tomoyo

"Sure, you can come to my house to pick it up anytime you want." Eriol

"Thanks." Tomoyo

Eriol went home after an hour there. Tomoyo watches him from her window.

Tomoyo's POV

Why do I have the feeling that Eriol is very disoriented after he read the letter? He seems to look a bit unhappy even he tries to hide it from me. And to think that he knows everything about me and I don't. It's like he's been watching me all the time. Hmm, one more thing kept spinning in my head. He seems to be like jealous when he came back from China when he saw me and John walking together. ……Is he…it couldn't be, he only treats me like his very best friend and nothing more. But could it be? Maybe he does like me.
