Old Treasures - Chapter 8, Tomoyo is Tomoyo afterall…

Previous

That moment Ryoma couldn't stop himself anymore, he cried like he never did before. Everything of the last 7 years he been through. He cried for half an hour or maybe a hour. He didn't know, but what he did know, that, that moment, this day, was what he needed all these years.

Outside the room…

Everyone that had to step out of the room was shocked once again. They didn't know what to say or didn't dare to say something.

"So that's what he really has been thinking?" Rinko said sad. "And Tomoyo, what happened?"

Nanjirou stepped up to comfort her, he laid his hand on her shoulders. "It's gonna be alright, it's Tomoyo after all." Nanjirou said, but he was actually really worried.

"This is sad-nyaa, I can't do anything." Eiji said with a puppy face.

"We all can't, that's what makes it sad, we don't know anything." Fuji said, no longer smiling.

"What happened with those two in the past?" Kawamura asked.

"We all want to know, don't we?" Momo said.

"Fsshh.." Kaido hissed.

"Anata (Dear), should we tell them?" Rinko asked with a soft voice.

"Hn, I think so." Nanjirou said.

"Minna, I think you own all an explanation." Rinko said to the regulars.

The regulars looked up. "Please, tell us, Rinko-san." Tezuka said sternly.

"Yes, listen please." Rinko began. "I think I am not allowed to Tomoyo and myself to tell you everything, but let's say Tomoyo didn't have the ordinary youth you all might have know, for the average youth." "When she was young, Tomoyo faced many things. Almost not known for her age, though. She realised that her own world wasn't everything at a point." Rinko stopped and looked at the door. "She didn't want to let Ryoma go through that, but.." Rinko stopped again and sigh. "But she soon realised she couldn't protect him from everything, she couldn't be the wall for him forever, he needed to be standing on his own feet and get stronger. So he could make himself happy, if he could do that others could bring him more happiness and Ryoma would get stronger by himself." Rinko took a long breath.

"So.. she left." Nanjiroh took over, he pushed his wife again him. "It might not be the right choice though, to be so hard for him. But it made him stronger and despite that she came back as promised. Tomoyo has made the decision too for him and at the same time for herself, it was tough for her too, but she took the chance and choice with the reasons we just have told you guys." Nanjiroh ended. "Tomoyo is Tomoyo afterall." Ryuzaki-sensei added.

The regulars were just too confused to say anything. Afterall, Tomoyo didn't look like a girl who had a dark side on her and also the fact that Ryoma was crying so hard, that they could hear it, what's was the reason for that?

Inside Tomoyo's Hospital Room..

"Sniff.." Ryoma looked up with his red swollen eyes from crying. His eyes found his sister's. He saw the kindness safety, and he finally found his answer after 7 years. His sister's eyes were also a bit read but they found a little bit of a sparkle in the big dark orbs. Ryoma saw the orbs turned to the window and stared to the sky. Ryoma sat up to take a good look at his sister. 'Where ever Onee-san goes, the sky suits her the best.' Ryoma thought. "Why thank you.-des" Tomoyo answered with a slight kind smirk. "Wha? Wha? Did I say that out loud?" Ryoma yelped surprised. "Not really, I just can guess by your look, Ryo-san." Tomoyo whispered in his ear. "Onee-san!" Ryoma jumped up and stood straight. "Yare Yare –des." Tomoyo giggled. "Tease..!" She placed her index finger on his nose. Ryoma twitched. "Hare Hare, well come here then." She pulled him to a warm hug, gentle and tight. Ryoma hugged back and realised his sister clothes really got wet from his tears. "Gomen.. Onee-san (Sorry, big sister.)" Ryoma bowed slightly. "For what may I ask –des? " Tomoyo asked with smiling closed eyes. "For wetting your clothes and being improperly despite what you have been telling me." Ryoma explained. "It's O.K. –des." Tomoyo said. "Onee-san, I am going to get a Ponta O.K.? " Ryoma left. Tomoyo looked at him when he left and whispered: "I know you don't remember much, but when the time comes, you memories will touch your heart."

Author's note: O.K. it's very short, but this was the scene I wanted to post. See you next chapter.
