+"Tomoyo Captor Sakura"
+by: Ren-chan
+Part II: Prelude to a Picnic
+Wai! Today Tomoyo, Shaoran, and Kero-chan are going to the park for a
+picnic with me! It's been awhile since all of us were together. Two
+weeks to be exact. Semester finals are finally over, so it's time to
+have some fun. It makes me really happy I get some time off to spend
+with my best friend and my boyfriend. But I can't help but feel Tomoyo
+being upset about something. Something in her eyes tell me that's she's
+sad. I asked once about it, but she said it was about school work. Odd,
+she never seems to have a hard time with school. Whatever is bothering
+her she knows she can come to me. Hopefully today will cheer her up.
+Sonomi-san can cook really well. It seems she only does when I'm around.
+I wonder why that is? Whenever I'm around she's overly happy to see me.
+It makes me glad she likes me. Though I still wonder what she has against
+Father. I tried asking Touya, and he just gave me a weird look. I really
+don't like it when people don't explain things to me. I know I'm a bit
+dense, but if they tried spelling it out for me I know I'll understand.
+I'm seventeen already. I'm not ten anymore. Sigh~ I'll ask him again
+later.
+"Sakura-chan, did you enjoy breakfast?" Sonomi asks sweetly.
+"Un!" I grin happily.
+"Oh, I do hope you come back again, and maybe we'll-" One of the maids
+come in handing her a phone. Sonomi in her professional tone speaks into
+the phone, hanging it up sadly. "I was about to ask if you'd like to join
+Tomoyo and me to a weekend at the beach, but it looks like I some work
+to handle instead. I'm sorry, Sakura-chan."
+I shake my head. "It's alright. Maybe next week. I'd love to go with the
+both of you for some weekend. I'm sure Father won't mind." I smile hoping
+it would make her feel better.
+The stars I could see in her eyes told me she felt more than better.
+"That would be great!" She rose from her chair and smiled. "I should be
+going. Good bye, Tomoyo. Good bye, Sakura-chan. Come over again soon!"
+She left the room as the maids began to clear the table.
+"You go ahead upstairs and get Kero-chan ready," says Tomoyo,"I'll catch
+up."
+I happily skip up the stairs to Tomoyo-chan's room. Tomoyo-chan and
+Sonomi-san live in such a big mansion. I wonder if they ever get lonely
+living in big place like this. And what about Tomoyo-chan's father? I've
+never met him before. Now that I think of it... Neither Sonomi-san nor
+Tomoyo-chan has ever mentioned him really. I've never seen any pictures
+of him.
+Finally I come to Tomoyo-chan's room. I open the door thinking about what
+store we should go to first to but Shaoran's present. I wonder what he
+would li-
+"PAAANCAKES!!"
+"Gyaaaahh!" Kero pops out of nowhere squishing his little forehead against
+mine. He looks at me gravely, giving me a ghastly look. Hunched back, he
+stares into my eyes hungrily, rubbing his little paws together.
+"Wheeere's myy swweets Saaa-kuu-raa!"
+"Uh-uh-uh... um... K-Kero-chan... I-I.." I sweat furiously not knowing what
+to do. He seriously freaks me out when he does this.
+"Here you go Kero-chan!" Tomoyo swings the door open with a tray of fresh
+fruit in yogart, croissants, a jar of strawberry jelly, and banana pancakes
+topped with warm maple syrup. Carefully she places it in the table in the
+center of the room. She looks at me warmly then amusingly at Kero-chan.
+"Sorry I took so long. I had to warm up the syrup a bit."
+"Ii-taaa-daa-kii-maa-suuuu!!" Kero-chan insanely happy flies to the tray of
+sweet breakfast food muttering 'Wai! Wai!' in between bites. I sweat drop as
+I watch him devour the food, his belly growing bigger and rounder with each
+bite he takes. "Arigatou, Tomoyo!"
+I slump to the soft carpeted floor breathing heavily in relief. I look up to
+see Tomoyo-chan offering her hand to help me up. I take her hand, such a soft
+and gentle touch, feeling warm inside. Did I ever feel like this before when
+I held her hand? I gaze to into her eyes, a sweet melancholy shimmers in her
+delicate violet eyes. "Tomoyo-chan..," I say barely above a whisper.
+"Are you ok, Sarkura-chan?" Tomoyo asks in a worried tone. I shake my head.
+"Yes, I'm alright. Thanks for saving me."
+"No problem. Anything for you, Sakura-chan." She smiles again, eyes looking
+like slits, barely seeing her eyes. "I have out picnic basket ready. Shall
+we go?"
+"Un!" I nod to her. I look at Kero-chan who now has an enormous round belly
+that could make Santa himself be jealous. I glare disapprovingly to my glutton
+guardian beast. Grabbing him abruptly by his back I plop him into my backpack.
+"Geez, Kero-chan! All you do nowadays is eat and snack! What kind of guardian
+beast are you getting out of shape like that!?"
+He didn't hear a word I said. He keeps muffling 'Wai! Wai!' in my bag. I let
+out a sigh and put on it on. He's utterly hopeless. Tomoyo-chan and I walk out
+of the room and out the front door towards her limo. Her bodyguards bow to
+greet us hello, and we bow back. They sure are intimidating. I've always felt
+awkward around them, even until now. I guess I'll never get used to them.
+"I'm sorry we had to take the limo," Tomoyo says. "I know you like riding in
+my moped with me. But it isn't working well, so it's in the repair shop."
+I shake my head. "It's alright." I stop and wonder for a moment. "Why's your
+moped in the shop?" I tense up, squeezing my hands. "Did something happen?"
+Tomoyo turns to look out the window. Not quite able to meet my gaze. Her long
+bangs slightly mask her face. "I've been having some trouble with the engine.
+It's been making some weird noises." She turns to me smiling. "I'm sure it's
+nothing. So don't worry about it."
+I nod slowly. Part of me doesn't quite believe it. But Tomoyo-chan would never
+lie to me. The limo comes to a slow stop and pulls over to the curb. Finally,
+we arrive in the commercial district. The bodyguard with the real long hair
+opens the door and we step out. We bow good bye to them and go on our way. Hand
+in hand we go through the streets looking around the various stores looking for
+a good place to look for a present. After a bit of window shopping and browsing
+through some clothes stores, Tomoyo stops and looks up at the sign of a store.
+"Premiere Chocolates."
+"Li-kun likes chocolates doesn't he?" I nod to her. We look at the window and
+see many types of boxed chocolates, wrapped chocolates, and chocolates shaped
+like animals and people. There is also a display of stuffed animals holding a
+box of chocolate. Tomoyo-chan nudges me. "Maybe we can get those import choco-
+lates he like. Maybe they come with something special like those stuffed animals
+over there."
+I nod enthusiastically. "That'd be a great idea!" We enter the store looking at
+various chocolates. We look at the shelves with import chocolates looking for
+the brand and flavor Shaoran likes. I take a step back-
+"Oi, watch where you're going."
+I accidentally bumped into someone behind me. "Go-gomen na-" I look back to a-
+pologized to see who I bumped into. "Onii-san!!"
+"Well, well. If it isn't Kaijuu," he says with a smirk. "Monsters shouldn't be
+let loose in a quiet town like this. See you just bumped into me almost dropp-
+ing these newly made chocolates. Trying to cause a ruckus, huh? Heh heh."
+"KAIJUU-JANAI WA!!" I raise my voice at him, annoyed. How dare he call me that
+in public! I'm not a kid anymore! Why must he insist on calling me that!? GRR!!
+"Oooh? Well, only monsters scream in a quiet little shop like this." I turn
+around and notice the other people in the shop staring at me. I flush bright red
+and lower my voice. I notice onii-san smirking amusingly.
+"You just work everywhere don't you?? I swear it's like you're trying to keep an
+eye on me!" I realize what day it is and look at him oddly. "Don't you have a
+modeling job today?"
+Touya nods his head. "It's later today." He turns his head noticing Tomoyo and
+gives her a small smile. Tomoyo smiles and bows back. "I have to work, Kaijuu.
+You better not eat out the store." He walks away smirking towards the counter,
+newly made chocolates in hand. I angrily glare at him, but stop when Tomoyo lays
+on of her hands in my shoulder, calming me down. She always relaxes me.
+"Look over there." I turn to where she pointed to. I stare in awe at the display
+towards the back of the store. "I think, Li-kun would like it. And it's also one
+of his favorite brands of chocolate." I nod in agreement as we walk over to the
+display.
+Belgium chocolate pieces surround a beautifully crafted dagger in a carved and
+laminated wood box. Shaoran likes collecting swords and daggers. He practices
+everyday with his sword. We both stared at it admiringly. It's kinda rare to see
+a dagger surrounding chocolates. One of the sales associates comes to us and look
+at us kindly. "May I help you with something today, ladies?"
+I nod my head. "Yes," I say to him, "how much is this chocolate set?"
+The young man nodded. "This is a rare collection. Only one thousand of these sets
+were made. Each dagger was hand-made by some expert blacksmiths in Europe. I don't
+everything about it. But I know the company wanted to try something new with sell-
+ing their chocolates. I find it odd for them to be selling daggers with chocolate.
+Doesn't make sense to me, but they're quite popular." The sales associate coughs.
+"I'm sorry for rambling. This set costs nine thousand five hundred yen."
+"Hoe!?"
+"I told you. It's a rare collection. This is one of the only places in Japan, in
+the world that sells it. We have only ten sets here. We already sold six of them.
+I'm not sure if the last four will be here by the end of the week." He turns around
+noticing another customer. "Excuse me, ladies. If you need help with anything, just
+call me over." He walks away, leaving us to ponder about the set.
+"It's really expensive Sakura-chan. Can you really afford it?"
+"Actually I can. I saved up some money from when I used to model in the same place
+as Touya. The thing is I worked for months to save that money..."
+Tomoyo pulled out her credit card. "I'll help pay for half. How about that?"
+I look at my best friend wide-eyed and felt my cheeks faintly blush. "I couldn't.."
+"It's quite alright," Tomoyo says dreamy eyed, "I have some old costume designs I
+never got you to try out. I re-did that prince costume design I made for you back
+in grammer school. I also have a princess and other costume designs for you to try
+out." She starts to blush eyes filled with stars more bright than before. "Oh,
+Sakura-chan, you'd look so beautiful in those costumes!" She takes my hands in hers
+staring happily into my eyes. "Please wear them! I could tape them you in them like
+old times! I could use them to help my portfolio for art school. Maybe I could be a
+theater costume designer. You'd do that for me won't you?"
+I laugh nervously, sweating dropping more than this morning. So Tomoyo-chan still
+hasn't given up on me wearing those fancy designs. I really don't mind. I actually
+feel kind of honored she'd let me take part in her artistic genius. Though, I do find
+it a bit weird. Oh, well. I can't say no to her. I nod to her uncertainly, and she
+sighs happily. She seems a little too happy, but at least she doesn't seem sad like
+before. I'm glad I can make her smile. I don't think I'd be able to bear to see her
+sad... or cry..
+Tomoyo called over the sales associate and charged the set on her card. I thank her
+repeatedly, and she says its ok. "I know you'll look wonderful when I tape you in my
+costumes," she says enthusiastically. I sweat drop again, but quickly smile.. and
+faintly blush? I wonder why my cheeks gets so warm when...
+"Oi, Kaijuu. What are you still doing here? Don't you have do some stomping somewhere?
+Like maybe trash that Li punk's place?"
+I turn around and glare at Touya. "I'm not a monster! And stop saying bad things about
+Shaoran! He's a very nice guy! He's MY boyfriend!"
+Onii-san narrows his eyes. "I don't like that punk. I suggest you find someone else."
+"Don't tell me who to go out with! Shaoran is a gentleman and has always been there for
+me!" I lower my voice. "Besides he helped me a lot when I captured the Clow Cards and
+turned them to Sakura Cards! How can you not approve of him!?"
+"Here you go, miss," says the sales associate as he hands the set to Tomoyo. "Thank you
+very much. Have a nice day!"
+Touya looks into the bag and gasps. "Why the hell are you buying that expensive thing!?"
+"It's for Shaoran! Our anniversary is coming this week!"
+"Over my dead body! I do not like that punk kid and how he treated you before! I don't
+trust him!" Now he lowers his voice. "I think me and the little beast agree on that!"
+A little muffled cry of agreement comes from my backpack.
+"I don't care I love him! And you can't stop me from loving him! Why can't you just be
+happy for me? Why can't you see what a good guy he is!?" I'm nearly crying as I say
+this. Why can't onii-san be happy for me? For us?
+Onii-san looks sadly at me. Oddly he looks sadly at Tomoyo-chan too. She shakes her head
+and faintly smiles back at him. He shakes his head in defeat. "If he does anything to
+hurt you," his eyes narrow again, more serious, and voice grows deadly, "I swear I will
+make that punk will PAY."
+"Shaoran's a good guy, Onii-san. Please believe me.."
+***
+"Achoo!!" I rub my nose, sniffling. I decided to come to the park a little early. I sit
+on the park bench listening to the birds chirp and trees rustle in the wind. I narrow my
+eyes thinking about Sakura and Tomoyo. Sakura I trust. But what about Tomoyo? I know she
+helped me confess my love for Sakura. Thanks to her, we're together. She also has lessen
+her idolization towards her. I mean would a best friend make silly costumes for her to
+wear, taping her constantly, flattering her constantly and going dreamy eyed sometimes
+to the point where she seems going orgasmic 'just' because they're best friends? Doesn't
+that seem strange to go through all that, feel all that over your best friend? Maybe I'm
+thinking too much. Could she really be in love with her? I mean it's not impossible. I
+liked Yukito-san... Now that I think of it, Sakura also was a bit "Haniyaaan" around
+Mizuki-sensei..
+"Hmph!" I shake my head furiously at the thought. It was all because of our magical ties
+with them. I cross my arms, closing my eyes feeling the wind mussing my hair. If one
+thing is for sure, Tomoyo-san and I look out for her happiness and well-being. She knows
+we're happy together. She won't jeopordize her happiness.. Our happiness. At least, I
+don't think so. I hope not.
+This week is our two year anniversary. I saved up a lot of money for this white gold
+celestial bracelet. I hope she likes it. I can feel the box fitting snuggly in my breast
+pocket of my denim jacket. Hopefully within the next four or five years I can save up for
+an engagement ring. Sure it may seem a bit early for marriage, but I know for sure whom
+I truly love. There's no other woman for me. I hope she'll except my proposal when I do.
+Then it hits me. It's not going to be easy. There's her over-protective brother and that
+damn stuffed animal. They won't let me marry her so easily. They still don't approve of
+me. What the hell!? I've been treating her like a princess! I helped her become the Card
+Mistress! I really do love her! Why can't they see that!? Geez, buncha idiots. If I was
+bad to her, Sakura woulda burned me with Firey or something. I'd never hurt her...
+"Shaoran!"
+I turn to see Sakura in the distance with Tomoyo. Both of them wave at me. It's best if
+I don't think of it. I just want a great afternoon with the girl I love and the girl who
+made our relationship possible.
+Author's Ramble:
+Hello! Hope you people understood whatever Japanese I used. I hope I used it right. ^_^;;
+Well, it took me awhile but I finally kicked myself in the butt and wrote this down. In
+art history class too! ^_^;; Also when I should be drawing storyboards for my narrative
+class! Sigh.. when will I get my priorities straight??
