10 Sakura Kinomoto was in a bad mood. And she didn't know why. Getting
|
rlm@2
|
11 out of bed, she quickly got dressed and went downstairs. 'Watch out
|
rlm@2
|
12 Kaijuu!' Touya said as Sakura almost bumbed into him. Sakura ignored
|
rlm@2
|
13 his teasing and made her breakfast. She and Tomoyo had been very
|
rlm@2
|
14 busy. The older cheerleaders and the older members of the choir had
|
rlm@2
|
15 graduated and left for university. Tomoyo was now helping the newer
|
rlm@2
|
16 members fit in as was Sakura. She felt lonier then she did when
|
rlm@2
|
17 Syaoran and her had drifted apart from his time in Hong Kong.
|
rlm@2
|
18 Standing up, she quickly left and walked to school.
|
rlm@2
|
19
|
rlm@2
|
20 Tomoyo Daidouji stood at the school gates waiting for Sakura. She'd
|
rlm@2
|
21 been hoping to ask her auburn haired friend about the mood she'd been
|
rlm@2
|
22 in recently. She had asked her mother about it. Sonomi had smiled at
|
rlm@2
|
23 her daughter and reassured her that things would return to normal.
|
rlm@2
|
24 'Daidouji-sempai!' a voice called out, interrupting her trail of
|
rlm@2
|
25 thought. Turning around she saw a small Blonde haired girl jogging
|
rlm@2
|
26 towards her. 'Good Morning Emi-chan!' Tomoyo said, once the smaller
|
rlm@2
|
27 girl was closer. 'How are you Daidouji-sempai?' Emi asked. 'I'm
|
rlm@2
|
28 alright Emi-chan!' Tomoyo replied. 'Have you seen Saura-chan?' Emi's
|
rlm@2
|
29 featured darkened slightly when Sakura's name was mentioned. 'Not
|
rlm@2
|
30 today Daidouji-sempai!' Emi replied. Tomoyo smiled slightly at the
|
rlm@2
|
31 younger girl. She'd known for a while how the other girl felt about
|
rlm@2
|
32 her. It hurt a little when she couldn't return the other girls
|
rlm@2
|
33 feelings. 'Emi-chan!' a voice called out, attracting the younger
|
rlm@2
|
34 girls attention. Turning around, she smiled when she saw a blue
|
rlm@2
|
35 haired girl jogging up to her. 'Miyuki-chan!' Emi squealed and ran up
|
rlm@2
|
36 to her friend. Looking at Tomoyo the blue haired girl took her
|
rlm@2
|
37 friends hand and lead her to their homeroom. Tomoyo sighed softly,
|
rlm@2
|
38 watching the girls leave. She knew how Miyuki felt about her blonde
|
rlm@2
|
39 haired friend. Miyuki had told her when she saw the girl leave Choir
|
rlm@2
|
40 with tears in her eyes. Soon after she saw that Miyuki had joined the
|
rlm@2
|
41 cheerleading squad. 'Tomoyo-chan!' another voice broke her trail of
|
rlm@2
|
42 thought. Spinning around, her smile grew upon seeing her auburn
|
rlm@2
|
43 haired best friend. She could see that Sakura's mood had become her
|
rlm@2
|
44 usual cheerful mood. 'Hi Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo said, meeting her
|
rlm@2
|
45 friend. Taking Sakura's hand with ease they walked to their homeroom,
|
rlm@2
|
46 passing Emi and Miyuki on their way. Sakura noticed that Emi gave her
|
rlm@2
|
47 a dirty look as they passed. 'Is Emi-chan ok?' Sakura asked. 'I think
|
rlm@2
|
48 so!' Tomoyo replied. Sitting down at their desks, Tomoyo realised why
|
rlm@2
|
49 Sakura was not her usual self... it was like she was jealous. Quickly
|
rlm@2
|
50 Tomoyo wrote something down on a piece of paper and handed it to
|
rlm@2
|
51 Sakura just as their teacher walked in. Opening the note Sakura read
|
rlm@2
|
52 it and reread it. Looking at her friend, she nodded slightly before
|
rlm@2
|
53 starting to pay attention to their lesson.
|
rlm@2
|
54
|
rlm@2
|
55 Miyuki looked at her friend sitting at the desk beside her. She felt
|
rlm@2
|
56 a stab of jealousy. 'Why Emi-chan?' she thought. 'Why her and not
|
rlm@2
|
57 me?' She lowered her head and concentrated on her work. She knew Emi
|
rlm@2
|
58 was worried about her, having noticed some suspicious marks on her
|
rlm@2
|
59 body and the way she had been acting. 'Are you ok Miyuki-chan?' Emi
|
rlm@2
|
60 whispered, looking at her friend. Nodding Miyuki kept her
|
rlm@2
|
61 concentration on her work, her shoulder length blue hair obscuring
|
rlm@2
|
62 her eyes. 'Really?' Emi asked. Again Miyuki nodded gripping her pen a
|
rlm@2
|
63 little tighter. Emi shook her head slightly. She worried about her
|
rlm@2
|
64 friend. Miyuki was mysterious about many things. Especially about the
|
rlm@2
|
65 way she had been acting lately. Emi looked at Miyuki again. The blue
|
rlm@2
|
66 haired girl had become so withdrawn. 'Kino-san!' their teachers voice
|
rlm@2
|
67 made her jump in her seat. 'Hai sensai?'
|
rlm@2
|
68 'Please pay attention!' Emi blushed slightly. 'Hai sensei!' she
|
rlm@2
|
69 replied, shifting her attention from her friend to her class work,
|
rlm@2
|
70 every few minutes looking over at her friend.
|
rlm@2
|
71
|
rlm@2
|
72 Sakura stretched and yawned. It had been a long day, and it wasn't
|
rlm@2
|
73 over yet. She watched some of the newer cheerleaders go through the
|
rlm@2
|
74 routines. Only Miyuki seemed distracted. Gently Sakura pulled Miyuki
|
rlm@2
|
75 to one side. 'Miyuki-chan are you ok?' she asked. The blue haired
|
rlm@2
|
76 girl nodded, not looking up. 'Hai Kinomoto-sempai!' she whispered,
|
rlm@2
|
77 before going in the locker room to change. 'I just wish Emi-chan
|
rlm@2
|
78 didn't love your girlfriend!' she muttered once out of earshot of
|
rlm@2
|
79 Sakura. Sakura watched her go, very concerned. She had seen the marks
|
rlm@2
|
80 on Miyuki's body and she had started to wonder where they had come
|
rlm@2
|
81 from. Meanwhile Tomoyo was getting ready to meet with Sakura. Slowly
|
rlm@2
|
82 Emi walked up to Tomoyo. 'Um... Sempai?' the shorter girl asked.
|
rlm@2
|
83 'Hai?' Tomoyo said, turning around. 'I.. er...' Emi stuttered,
|
rlm@2
|
84 suddenly feeling very shy. She fumbled with her hands, so intent on
|
rlm@2
|
85 telling Tomoyo how she felt, she failed to notice Miyuki standing in
|
rlm@2
|
86 the door way. 'I really like you Daidouji-sempai!' Emi finally said.
|
rlm@2
|
87 'No!'
|
rlm@2
|
88 'Miyuki-chan?' Emi asked, seeing her best friend standing by the
|
rlm@2
|
89 door, tears in her eyes and falling down her cheeks. Before Emi could
|
rlm@2
|
90 say anything else the blue haired girl ran.
|
rlm@2
|
91
|
rlm@2
|
92 Closing the door, Miyuki cried heavily. She'd been to late, now she
|
rlm@2
|
93 was scared she'd lost everything. Slowly she walked to the edge of
|
rlm@2
|
94 the roof, tears still falling. 'Nothing left!' she whispered,
|
rlm@2
|
95 climbing onto the edge. The pain she felt when she heard Emi tell
|
rlm@2
|
96 Tomoyo she liked her had gone, replaced only with a dull throb where
|
rlm@2
|
97 her heart was. 'Miyuki-chan?' a voice asked. 'No! Please just leave
|
rlm@2
|
98 me alone!' she thought as she carefully turned around. 'Please
|
rlm@2
|
99 Kinomoto-sempai!' she whispered, 'Leave me alone!'
|
rlm@2
|
100 'No..!' Sakura said walking closer very slowly. She'd heard
|
rlm@2
|
101 everything, and saw Miyuki run off crying heavily. Turning to face
|
rlm@2
|
102 her friend she saw utter confusion on Emi's face and Tomoyo's was
|
rlm@2
|
103 unreadable. Sakura was close enough to grab the younger teen, but
|
rlm@2
|
104 stopped before she did. 'Why?' Miyuki whispered, 'Why her?'
|
rlm@2
|
105 'Miyuki-chan?' Sakura asked. 'Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo's soft voice
|
rlm@2
|
106 asked, causing Sakura to turn around. 'Stay back Tomoyo!' Sakura
|
rlm@2
|
107 said, before turning back to Miyuki. Tomoyo noted that Sakura had
|
rlm@2
|
108 dropped the "chan" suffix. 'She's serious?' Tomoyo asked herself.
|
rlm@2
|
109 'Come on Miyuki-chan!' Sakura said, extending her hand. The blue
|
rlm@2
|
110 haired girl shook her head, shuffling her feet backwards slightly.
|
rlm@2
|
111 Again Sakura slowly eased forwards. 'Why do you want to do this
|
rlm@2
|
112 Miyuki-chan?' Sakura asked. Miyuki mumbled something incoherent, not
|
rlm@2
|
113 noticing a third person stepping on to the roof. 'Miyuki-chan...
|
rlm@2
|
114 please!' Sakura said, holding her hand out to the blue haired girl.
|
rlm@2
|
115 Again Miyuki shook her head. Slowly she fell backwards, extending her
|
rlm@2
|
116 arms. However Sakura was already in motion. She grabbed the smaller
|
rlm@2
|
117 girl by the waist and pulled her off the edge. They hit the ground,
|
rlm@2
|
118 hard. 'Why?' Miyuki asked, crying heavily and hitting Sakura's chest
|
rlm@2
|
119 with her free hand. 'Miyuki-chan?' a soft voice asked. Miyuki gasped,
|
rlm@2
|
120 her eyes opening wide. Emi was here? She wasn't supposed to see her
|
rlm@2
|
121 now. Sakura looked up, and saw Emi kneeling next to them with tears
|
rlm@2
|
122 in her eyes. Carefully, she took her blue haired friend into her
|
rlm@2
|
123 arms. After seeing her friend run from her and Tomoyo looking so hurt
|
rlm@2
|
124 she realised that it was Miyuki she cared for more then Tomoyo. 'I'm
|
rlm@2
|
125 so sorry Miyuki-chan!' she whispered. The slightly smaller girl
|
rlm@2
|
126 looked at her friend. Why was Emi apologising to her? Carefully Emi
|
rlm@2
|
127 hugged Miyuki tighter. Standing up, Sakura gently led Tomoyo off the
|
rlm@2
|
128 roof, sensing the other girls need for privacy. Carefully Emi helped
|
rlm@2
|
129 Miyuki to her feet, still hugging her. 'Emi-chan....' Miyuki
|
rlm@2
|
130 whispered. 'I'm so so sorry Miyuki-chan!' Emi whispered, gently
|
rlm@2
|
131 hugging the other girl tighter. Slowly Miyuki turned around in her
|
rlm@2
|
132 friends hug. Looking up Emi lightly kissed her friends cheek, before
|
rlm@2
|
133 looking down again. 'I don't want to loose you Miyuki-chan!' Emi
|
rlm@2
|
134 whispered. Slowly Miyuki put her arms around the smaller girl. Gently
|
rlm@2
|
135 she kissed the blonde haired girls cheek. 'I don't want to loose you
|
rlm@2
|
136 either Emi-chan!' Miyuki whispered. Looking up, the smaller girl
|
rlm@2
|
137 blushed slightly. Leaning closer she gently pressed her lips to her
|
rlm@2
|
138 friends. Leaning away Miyuki blushed brightly. 'Why did you do that
|
rlm@2
|
139 Emi-chan?' Miyuki asked. Emi blushed brightly and gently pressed her
|
rlm@2
|
140 face into the taller girls breast. 'Because when you ran off, I
|
rlm@2
|
141 realised that it is you that I really like Miyuki-chan!' Emi replied.
|
rlm@2
|
142 When Emi looked up again, Miyuki saw something in the other girls
|
rlm@2
|
143 eyes: hope. The taller girl smiled slightly and gently pressed her
|
rlm@2
|
144 lips to Emi's again.
|
rlm@2
|
145
|
rlm@2
|
146 Sakura sighed softly as she rubbed her right shoulder. 'Are you ok
|
rlm@2
|
147 Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo asked, seeing Sakura rub her shoulder again.
|
rlm@2
|
148 'I'll be ok Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura replied, smiling at the pale girl.
|
rlm@2
|
149 Tomoyo smiled herself as Sakura gently wrapped an arm around her.
|
rlm@2
|
150 Gently she put a hand on Sakura's right shoulder, only to pull it
|
rlm@2
|
151 away an instant later when she saw Sakura wince in pain. 'Please show
|
rlm@2
|
152 me Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo said. Looking into Tomoyo's stormy blue eyes,
|
rlm@2
|
153 Sakura knew she couldn't refuse. Undoing the top buttons on her shirt
|
rlm@2
|
154 she gently moved the right shoulder of her shirt down to reveal a
|
rlm@2
|
155 large bruise. Gently Tomoyo started to rub Sakura's injured shoulder.
|
rlm@2
|
156 'Isn't this one of the places my foot hit when we were....'
|
rlm@2
|
157 'Hai!' Sakura said, cutting the pale girl off. Turning her head, she
|
rlm@2
|
158 blushed slightly remembering that night. Carefully Tomoyo pressed her
|
rlm@2
|
159 lips to Sakura's shoulder before the auburn haired teen could fasten
|
rlm@2
|
160 her shirt up. 'I'll be gentle next time Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo
|
rlm@2
|
161 whispered, gently kissing Sakura's cheek. She giggled softly noticing
|
rlm@2
|
162 Sakura blushing deeper. Wrapping her arm around Tomoyo's waist again,
|
rlm@2
|
163 they walked out of the school building, followed soon after by Miyuki
|
rlm@2
|
164 and Emi. The elder couple knew what the smiles on the younger girls
|
rlm@2
|
165 faces meant.
|
rlm@2
|
166
|
rlm@2
|
167 YEARS LATER
|
rlm@2
|
168
|
rlm@2
|
169 Sakura smiled slightly as she put away the last book. Slowly she
|
rlm@2
|
170 looked down at the baby in her arm. 'Should it be the fourth grades
|
rlm@2
|
171 assignments or the third grades?' she whispered. The baby gurgled
|
rlm@2
|
172 slightly and yawned. 'Third grade it is!' Sakura said, looking at the
|
rlm@2
|
173 young girl sitting opposite her writing something in her book. The
|
rlm@2
|
174 baby gurgled again letting her know that as long as she was
|
rlm@2
|
175 comfortable she was happy with what ever Sakura decided. Slowly
|
rlm@2
|
176 Sakura grabbed the top book with her free hand and looked at the
|
rlm@2
|
177 young girl again. 'Yuki-chan, are you ok?' The young girl nodded and
|
rlm@2
|
178 went back to her work. Yuki looked exactly like Tomoyo when she was
|
rlm@2
|
179 that age, except for her emerald eyes and streaks of white in her
|
rlm@2
|
180 hair. The baby gurgled again softly as she flexed her hands for what
|
rlm@2
|
181 Sakura presumed was for her own amusement. Yuki looked at what her
|
rlm@2
|
182 baby sister was doing and smiled slightly. 'Mihoshi-chan liked to do
|
rlm@2
|
183 that doesn't she papa?' she asked, going back to her homework. Sakura
|
rlm@2
|
184 smiled as she set her pen down and watched her youngest daughter.
|
rlm@2
|
185 'Hai, she does!' Sakura whispered, gently adjusting the baby in her
|
rlm@2
|
186 arm. She looked up and smiled at her eldest daughter before picking
|
rlm@2
|
187 her pen up again. It was no secret that most girls in Yuki's class
|
rlm@2
|
188 had asked why she had streaks of white in her dark hair. Many had
|
rlm@2
|
189 started to tease her when she had said they were natural. 'Hello
|
rlm@2
|
190 Sempai!' a voice said. Looking up they saw Emi walking towards them,
|
rlm@2
|
191 with an arm full of books. 'Hi Kino-sensei!' Yuki said. 'Hi Emi-
|
rlm@2
|
192 chan!' Sakura said, as Mihoshi gurgled again. 'Mama?' a young girl
|
rlm@2
|
193 whispered, gently tugging on Emi's shirt. Emi smiled as she looked at
|
rlm@2
|
194 her daughter. 'Hai Hotaru-chan?' Emi asked. Setting her books on the
|
rlm@2
|
195 table, Emi kneeled down so the young girl could whisper something
|
rlm@2
|
196 into her mothers ear. Emi giggled softly. 'You were that small as
|
rlm@2
|
197 well Hotaru-chan!' At that time Mihoshi started crying loudly. Yuki
|
rlm@2
|
198 looked at her blue haired friend as she slowly backed away from the
|
rlm@2
|
199 crying child in Sakura's arms. Sakura looked up and smiled at the
|
rlm@2
|
200 young girl. 'It's all right Hotaru-san!' she said, 'This is her
|
rlm@2
|
201 hungry cry.' Turning around Sakura un buttoned her shirt and
|
rlm@2
|
202 manoeuvred the baby closer to her breast. Whenever Tomoyo was asleep
|
rlm@2
|
203 or busy with her company's paper work Sakura often breastfed Mihoshi
|
rlm@2
|
204 when she needed to be fed. She was thankful that her magic allowed
|
rlm@2
|
205 her to lactate when the baby needed feeding. It was the same when
|
rlm@2
|
206 Yuki was a baby. Emi leaned down again as Hotaru whispered something
|
rlm@2
|
207 into her ear again. Yuki smiled slightly, having guessed what Hotaru
|
rlm@2
|
208 had asked. 'She feeding the baby Hotaru-chan!' Yuki said, smiling
|
rlm@2
|
209 slightly at her best friend. Taking the blued haired girls hand, Yuki
|
rlm@2
|
210 led her friend to her room to show Hotaru her collection. Slowly
|
rlm@2
|
211 Mihoshi stopped feeding and Sakura buttoned her shirt up. 'Hotaru's a
|
rlm@2
|
212 nice girl!' Sakura said, sitting back down. Emi smiled saddly. 'But
|
rlm@2
|
213 she's very shy!' Sakura looked at the younger woman confused. Still
|
rlm@2
|
214 smiling sadly Emi decided to explain everything.
|
rlm@2
|
215
|
rlm@2
|
216 Yuki smiled at the other girl as she showed her the collection of
|
rlm@2
|
217 stuffed animaled she'd gotten from her papa. However the other girl
|
rlm@2
|
218 had simply sat on the bed, just listening to her. 'What's wrong
|
rlm@2
|
219 Hotaru-chan?' Yuki asked, sitting next to the blue haired girl. She
|
rlm@2
|
220 was surprised when Hotaru slowly moved away from her. 'You don't want
|
rlm@2
|
221 to touch me!' the other girl whispered, 'I'm dirty!'
|
rlm@2
|
222 'No you're not!' Yuki said, scooting closer to her friend. 'Yes I
|
rlm@2
|
223 am!' Hotaru said, with tears in her eyes. 'I'm dirty because my papa
|
rlm@2
|
224 is dirty!' Curling up into a ball she started to cry. 'Papa hurt mama
|
rlm@2
|
225 lots! Okaa-san and mama don't talk about it but I know that I
|
rlm@2
|
226 happened after he hurt her!' the girl said as tears ran down her now
|
rlm@2
|
227 pale cheeks. 'Everyone stares at me because they know my real papa
|
rlm@2
|
228 hurt my mama...' Slowly Yuki hugged her blue haired friend, not
|
rlm@2
|
229 letting go as Hotaru struggled to get away. 'Please let me go! I
|
rlm@2
|
230 don't want you to be dirty as well!' Yuki shook her head. 'You aren't
|
rlm@2
|
231 dirty Hotaru-chan!' Yuki whispered. Hotaru managed to get loose of
|
rlm@2
|
232 her friends hug and scurried away towards the door. 'I'm so sorry
|
rlm@2
|
233 Yuki-chan! I got you dirty to!' the girl whispered before running out
|
rlm@2
|
234 of the room. 'Hotaru-chan!' Yuki called out, before running after her
|
rlm@2
|
235 friend.
|
rlm@2
|
236
|
rlm@2
|
237 She sat crying under the king penguin slide. 'She's just like me
|
rlm@2
|
238 now!' she thought sadly. 'I made her dirty!' That made her cry
|
rlm@2
|
239 harder. 'Hi!' a soft voice said. Looking up she saw a pale woman
|
rlm@2
|
240 kneeling near her. 'It's her mama!' Hotaru thought. The pale woman
|
rlm@2
|
241 smiled at slowly sat near the young blue haired girl. Tomoyo had just
|
rlm@2
|
242 arrived home when Hotaru had bumped into her when she ran out of her
|
rlm@2
|
243 home. 'Yuki-chan told me why you ran away!' Tomoyo whispered. 'I ran
|
rlm@2
|
244 because I'm dirty!' Hotaru whispered. Slowly Tomoyo scooted closer.
|
rlm@2
|
245 'Why do you think that?'
|
rlm@2
|
246 'Because my papa is dirty!' Hotaru whispered, 'He hurt my mama!' The
|
rlm@2
|
247 pale woman smiled sadly at the young girl. 'I don't think you're
|
rlm@2
|
248 dirty Hotaru-chan!' Tomoyo whispered. Hotaru looked up sharply, her
|
rlm@2
|
249 eyes, red from crying, met Tomoyo's. 'You don't?' Tomoyo shook her
|
rlm@2
|
250 head. 'And I know Yuki and Sakura doesn't think you're dirty.' Tomoyo
|
rlm@2
|
251 paused and caught her breath, 'And your parents have never thought
|
rlm@2
|
252 you are dirty!' Hotaru shuddered as she tried to stop crying. 'Hotaru-
|
rlm@2
|
253 chan?' another voice said. 'Mama?' Hotaru asked, looking up at her
|
rlm@2
|
254 mother kneeling near Tomoyo. The blue haired woman smiled as her
|
rlm@2
|
255 daughter scooted closer to her. Carefully she whipped the girls tears
|
rlm@2
|
256 away. 'I'm sorry mama!' the girl whispered, hugging Miyuki. 'What for
|

257 Hotaru-chan?' Miyuki asked. 'For running away!' the girl whispered,
|
rlm@2
|
258 crying into her mothers chest. Carefully Miyuki wrapped her arms
|
rlm@2
|
259 around the young girl. She had been told why Hotaru had ran off. 'How
|
rlm@2
|
260 long has she felt this way?' she asked herself. Gently she kissed the
|
rlm@2
|
261 top of her daughters head. 'I'm sorry Hotaru!' Miyuki whispered. The
|
rlm@2
|
262 girl looked up at her mother, their eyes meeting. 'Why mama?' the
|
rlm@2
|
263 girl asked, whipping her eyes. Miyuki smiled at the girl rubbing her
|
rlm@2
|
264 own eyes. 'I'm sorry because I didn't make you feel better when I
|
rlm@2
|
265 should have.' Miyuki whispered. Slowly the girl hugged her mother
|
rlm@2
|
266 again. Slowly Tomoyo left the two alone, not wanting to interupt what
|
rlm@2
|
267 was going on. She sighed softly as she sat on one of the swings. 'Is
|
rlm@2
|
268 everything alright now?' a soft voice asked. Looking to her left she
|
rlm@2
|
269 saw Yuki and Sakura, Sakura holding a wrapped up Mihoshi, standing
|
rlm@2
|
270 near her. They smiled as they watched Hotaru and her parents leave,
|
rlm@2
|
271 knowing things would be alright. |
