Today Tomoyo, Shaoran, and Kero-chan are going to the park for a 1.12 +picnic with me! It's been awhile since all of us were together. Two 1.13 +weeks to be exact. Semester finals are finally over, so it's time to 1.14 +have some fun. It makes me really happy I get some time off to spend 1.15 +with my best friend and my boyfriend. But I can't help but feel Tomoyo 1.16 +being upset about something. Something in her eyes tell me that's she's 1.17 +sad. I asked once about it, but she said it was about school work. Odd, 1.18 +she never seems to have a hard time with school. Whatever is bothering 1.19 +her she knows she can come to me. Hopefully today will cheer her up. 1.20 + 1.21 +Sonomi-san can cook really well. It seems she only does when I'm around. 1.22 +I wonder why that is? Whenever I'm around she's overly happy to see me. 1.23 +It makes me glad she likes me. Though I still wonder what she has against 1.24 +Father. I tried asking Touya, and he just gave me a weird look. I really 1.25 +don't like it when people don't explain things to me. I know I'm a bit 1.26 +dense, but if they tried spelling it out for me I know I'll understand. 1.27 +I'm seventeen already. I'm not ten anymore. Sigh~ I'll ask him again 1.28 +later. 1.29 + 1.30 +"Sakura-chan, did you enjoy breakfast?" Sonomi asks sweetly. 1.31 + 1.32 +"Un!" I grin happily. 1.33 + 1.34 +"Oh, I do hope you come back again, and maybe we'll-" One of the maids 1.35 +come in handing her a phone. Sonomi in her professional tone speaks into 1.36 +the phone, hanging it up sadly. "I was about to ask if you'd like to join 1.37 +Tomoyo and me to a weekend at the beach, but it looks like I some work 1.38 +to handle instead. I'm sorry, Sakura-chan." 1.39 + 1.40 +I shake my head. "It's alright. Maybe next week. I'd love to go with the 1.41 +both of you for some weekend. I'm sure Father won't mind." I smile hoping 1.42 +it would make her feel better. 1.43 + 1.44 +The stars I could see in her eyes told me she felt more than better. 1.45 +"That would be great!" She rose from her chair and smiled. "I should be 1.46 +going. Good bye, Tomoyo. Good bye, Sakura-chan. Come over again soon!" 1.47 +She left the room as the maids began to clear the table. 1.48 + 1.49 +"You go ahead upstairs and get Kero-chan ready," says Tomoyo,"I'll catch 1.50 +up." 1.51 + 1.52 +I happily skip up the stairs to Tomoyo-chan's room. Tomoyo-chan and 1.53 +Sonomi-san live in such a big mansion. I wonder if they ever get lonely 1.54 +living in big place like this. And what about Tomoyo-chan's father? I've 1.55 +never met him before. Now that I think of it... Neither Sonomi-san nor 1.56 +Tomoyo-chan has ever mentioned him really. I've never seen any pictures 1.57 +of him. 1.58 + 1.59 +Finally I come to Tomoyo-chan's room. I open the door thinking about what 1.60 +store we should go to first to but Shaoran's present. I wonder what he 1.61 +would li- 1.62 + 1.63 +"PAAANCAKES!!" 1.64 + 1.65 +"Gyaaaahh!" Kero pops out of nowhere squishing his little forehead against 1.66 +mine. He looks at me gravely, giving me a ghastly look. Hunched back, he 1.67 +stares into my eyes hungrily, rubbing his little paws together. 1.68 + 1.69 +"Wheeere's myy swweets Saaa-kuu-raa!" 1.70 + 1.71 +"Uh-uh-uh... um... K-Kero-chan... I-I.." I sweat furiously not knowing what 1.72 +to do. He seriously freaks me out when he does this. 1.73 + 1.74 +"Here you go Kero-chan!" Tomoyo swings the door open with a tray of fresh 1.75 +fruit in yogart, croissants, a jar of strawberry jelly, and banana pancakes 1.76 +topped with warm maple syrup. Carefully she places it in the table in the 1.77 +center of the room. She looks at me warmly then amusingly at Kero-chan. 1.78 +"Sorry I took so long. I had to warm up the syrup a bit." 1.79 + 1.80 +"Ii-taaa-daa-kii-maa-suuuu!!" Kero-chan insanely happy flies to the tray of 1.81 +sweet breakfast food muttering 'Wai! Wai!' in between bites. I sweat drop as 1.82 +I watch him devour the food, his belly growing bigger and rounder with each 1.83 +bite he takes. "Arigatou, Tomoyo!" 1.84 + 1.85 +I slump to the soft carpeted floor breathing heavily in relief. I look up to 1.86 +see Tomoyo-chan offering her hand to help me up. I take her hand, such a soft 1.87 +and gentle touch, feeling warm inside. Did I ever feel like this before when 1.88 +I held her hand? I gaze to into her eyes, a sweet melancholy shimmers in her 1.89 +delicate violet eyes. "Tomoyo-chan..," I say barely above a whisper. 1.90 + 1.91 +"Are you ok, Sarkura-chan?" Tomoyo asks in a worried tone. I shake my head. 1.92 + 1.93 +"Yes, I'm alright. Thanks for saving me." 1.94 + 1.95 +"No problem. Anything for you, Sakura-chan." She smiles again, eyes looking 1.96 +like slits, barely seeing her eyes. "I have out picnic basket ready. Shall 1.97 +we go?" 1.98 + 1.99 +"Un!" I nod to her. I look at Kero-chan who now has an enormous round belly 1.100 +that could make Santa himself be jealous. I glare disapprovingly to my glutton 1.101 +guardian beast. Grabbing him abruptly by his back I plop him into my backpack. 1.102 +"Geez, Kero-chan! All you do nowadays is eat and snack! What kind of guardian 1.103 +beast are you getting out of shape like that!?" 1.104 + 1.105 +He didn't hear a word I said. He keeps muffling 'Wai! Wai!' in my bag. I let 1.106 +out a sigh and put on it on. He's utterly hopeless. Tomoyo-chan and I walk out 1.107 +of the room and out the front door towards her limo. Her bodyguards bow to 1.108 +greet us hello, and we bow back. They sure are intimidating. I've always felt 1.109 +awkward around them, even until now. I guess I'll never get used to them. 1.110 + 1.111 +"I'm sorry we had to take the limo," Tomoyo says. "I know you like riding in 1.112 +my moped with me. But it isn't working well, so it's in the repair shop." 1.113 + 1.114 +I shake my head. "It's alright." I stop and wonder for a moment. "Why's your 1.115 +moped in the shop?" I tense up, squeezing my hands. "Did something happen?" 1.116 + 1.117 +Tomoyo turns to look out the window. Not quite able to meet my gaze. Her long 1.118 +bangs slightly mask her face. "I've been having some trouble with the engine. 1.119 +It's been making some weird noises." She turns to me smiling. "I'm sure it's 1.120 +nothing. So don't worry about it." 1.121 + 1.122 +I nod slowly. Part of me doesn't quite believe it. But Tomoyo-chan would never 1.123 +lie to me. The limo comes to a slow stop and pulls over to the curb. Finally, 1.124 +we arrive in the commercial district. The bodyguard with the real long hair 1.125 +opens the door and we step out. We bow good bye to them and go on our way. Hand 1.126 +in hand we go through the streets looking around the various stores looking for 1.127 +a good place to look for a present. After a bit of window shopping and browsing 1.128 +through some clothes stores, Tomoyo stops and looks up at the sign of a store. 1.129 + 1.130 +"Premiere Chocolates." 1.131 + 1.132 +"Li-kun likes chocolates doesn't he?" I nod to her. We look at the window and 1.133 +see many types of boxed chocolates, wrapped chocolates, and chocolates shaped 1.134 +like animals and people. There is also a display of stuffed animals holding a 1.135 +box of chocolate. Tomoyo-chan nudges me. "Maybe we can get those import choco- 1.136 +lates he like. Maybe they come with something special like those stuffed animals 1.137 +over there." 1.138 + 1.139 +I nod enthusiastically. "That'd be a great idea!" We enter the store looking at 1.140 +various chocolates. We look at the shelves with import chocolates looking for 1.141 +the brand and flavor Shaoran likes. I take a step back- 1.142 + 1.143 +"Oi, watch where you're going." 1.144 + 1.145 +I accidentally bumped into someone behind me. "Go-gomen na-" I look back to a- 1.146 +pologized to see who I bumped into. "Onii-san!!" 1.147 + 1.148 +"Well, well. If it isn't Kaijuu," he says with a smirk. "Monsters shouldn't be 1.149 +let loose in a quiet town like this. See you just bumped into me almost dropp- 1.150 +ing these newly made chocolates. Trying to cause a ruckus, huh? Heh heh." 1.151 + 1.152 +"KAIJUU-JANAI WA!!" I raise my voice at him, annoyed. How dare he call me that 1.153 +in public! I'm not a kid anymore! Why must he insist on calling me that!? GRR!! 1.154 + 1.155 +"Oooh? Well, only monsters scream in a quiet little shop like this." I turn 1.156 +around and notice the other people in the shop staring at me. I flush bright red 1.157 +and lower my voice. I notice onii-san smirking amusingly. 1.158 + 1.159 +"You just work everywhere don't you?? I swear it's like you're trying to keep an 1.160 +eye on me!" I realize what day it is and look at him oddly. "Don't you have a 1.161 +modeling job today?" 1.162 + 1.163 +Touya nods his head. "It's later today." He turns his head noticing Tomoyo and 1.164 +gives her a small smile. Tomoyo smiles and bows back. "I have to work, Kaijuu. 1.165 +You better not eat out the store." He walks away smirking towards the counter, 1.166 +newly made chocolates in hand. I angrily glare at him, but stop when Tomoyo lays 1.167 +on of her hands in my shoulder, calming me down. She always relaxes me. 1.168 + 1.169 +"Look over there." I turn to where she pointed to. I stare in awe at the display 1.170 +towards the back of the store. "I think, Li-kun would like it. And it's also one 1.171 +of his favorite brands of chocolate." I nod in agreement as we walk over to the 1.172 +display. 1.173 + 1.174 +Belgium chocolate pieces surround a beautifully crafted dagger in a carved and 1.175 +laminated wood box. Shaoran likes collecting swords and daggers. He practices 1.176 +everyday with his sword. We both stared at it admiringly. It's kinda rare to see 1.177 +a dagger surrounding chocolates. One of the sales associates comes to us and look 1.178 +at us kindly. "May I help you with something today, ladies?" 1.179 + 1.180 +I nod my head. "Yes," I say to him, "how much is this chocolate set?" 1.181 + 1.182 +The young man nodded. "This is a rare collection. Only one thousand of these sets 1.183 +were made. Each dagger was hand-made by some expert blacksmiths in Europe. I don't 1.184 +everything about it. But I know the company wanted to try something new with sell- 1.185 +ing their chocolates. I find it odd for them to be selling daggers with chocolate. 1.186 +Doesn't make sense to me, but they're quite popular." The sales associate coughs. 1.187 +"I'm sorry for rambling. This set costs nine thousand five hundred yen." 1.188 + 1.189 +"Hoe!?" 1.190 + 1.191 +"I told you. It's a rare collection. This is one of the only places in Japan, in 1.192 +the world that sells it. We have only ten sets here. We already sold six of them. 1.193 +I'm not sure if the last four will be here by the end of the week." He turns around 1.194 +noticing another customer. "Excuse me, ladies. If you need help with anything, just 1.195 +call me over." He walks away, leaving us to ponder about the set. 1.196 + 1.197 +"It's really expensive Sakura-chan. Can you really afford it?" 1.198 + 1.199 +"Actually I can. I saved up some money from when I used to model in the same place 1.200 +as Touya. The thing is I worked for months to save that money..." 1.201 + 1.202 +Tomoyo pulled out her credit card. "I'll help pay for half. How about that?" 1.203 + 1.204 +I look at my best friend wide-eyed and felt my cheeks faintly blush. "I couldn't.." 1.205 + 1.206 +"It's quite alright," Tomoyo says dreamy eyed, "I have some old costume designs I 1.207 +never got you to try out. I re-did that prince costume design I made for you back 1.208 +in grammer school. I also have a princess and other costume designs for you to try 1.209 +out." She starts to blush eyes filled with stars more bright than before. "Oh, 1.210 +Sakura-chan, you'd look so beautiful in those costumes!" She takes my hands in hers 1.211 +staring happily into my eyes. "Please wear them! I could tape them you in them like 1.212 +old times! I could use them to help my portfolio for art school. Maybe I could be a 1.213 +theater costume designer. You'd do that for me won't you?" 1.214 + 1.215 +I laugh nervously, sweating dropping more than this morning. So Tomoyo-chan still 1.216 +hasn't given up on me wearing those fancy designs. I really don't mind. I actually 1.217 +feel kind of honored she'd let me take part in her artistic genius. Though, I do find 1.218 +it a bit weird. Oh, well. I can't say no to her. I nod to her uncertainly, and she 1.219 +sighs happily. She seems a little too happy, but at least she doesn't seem sad like 1.220 +before. I'm glad I can make her smile. I don't think I'd be able to bear to see her 1.221 +sad... or cry.. 1.222 + 1.223 +Tomoyo called over the sales associate and charged the set on her card. I thank her 1.224 +repeatedly, and she says its ok. "I know you'll look wonderful when I tape you in my 1.225 +costumes," she says enthusiastically. I sweat drop again, but quickly smile.. and 1.226 +faintly blush? I wonder why my cheeks gets so warm when... 1.227 + 1.228 +"Oi, Kaijuu. What are you still doing here? Don't you have do some stomping somewhere? 1.229 +Like maybe trash that Li punk's place?" 1.230 + 1.231 +I turn around and glare at Touya. "I'm not a monster! And stop saying bad things about 1.232 +Shaoran! He's a very nice guy! He's MY boyfriend!" 1.233 + 1.234 +Onii-san narrows his eyes. "I don't like that punk. I suggest you find someone else." 1.235 + 1.236 +"Don't tell me who to go out with! Shaoran is a gentleman and has always been there for 1.237 +me!" I lower my voice. "Besides he helped me a lot when I captured the Clow Cards and 1.238 +turned them to Sakura Cards! How can you not approve of him!?" 1.239 + 1.240 +"Here you go, miss," says the sales associate as he hands the set to Tomoyo. "Thank you 1.241 +very much. Have a nice day!" 1.242 + 1.243 +Touya looks into the bag and gasps. "Why the hell are you buying that expensive thing!?" 1.244 + 1.245 +"It's for Shaoran! Our anniversary is coming this week!" 1.246 + 1.247 +"Over my dead body! I do not like that punk kid and how he treated you before! I don't 1.248 +trust him!" Now he lowers his voice. "I think me and the little beast agree on that!" 1.249 +A little muffled cry of agreement comes from my backpack. 1.250 + 1.251 +"I don't care I love him! And you can't stop me from loving him! Why can't you just be 1.252 +happy for me? Why can't you see what a good guy he is!?" I'm nearly crying as I say 1.253 +this. Why can't onii-san be happy for me? For us? 1.254 + 1.255 +Onii-san looks sadly at me. Oddly he looks sadly at Tomoyo-chan too. She shakes her head 1.256 +and faintly smiles back at him. He shakes his head in defeat. "If he does anything to 1.257 +hurt you," his eyes narrow again, more serious, and voice grows deadly, "I swear I will 1.258 +make that punk will PAY." 1.259 + 1.260 +"Shaoran's a good guy, Onii-san. Please believe me.." 1.261 + 1.262 +*** 1.263 + 1.264 +"Achoo!!" I rub my nose, sniffling. I decided to come to the park a little early. I sit 1.265 +on the park bench listening to the birds chirp and trees rustle in the wind. I narrow my 1.266 +eyes thinking about Sakura and Tomoyo. Sakura I trust. But what about Tomoyo? I know she 1.267 +helped me confess my love for Sakura. Thanks to her, we're together. She also has lessen 1.268 +her idolization towards her. I mean would a best friend make silly costumes for her to 1.269 +wear, taping her constantly, flattering her constantly and going dreamy eyed sometimes 1.270 +to the point where she seems going orgasmic 'just' because they're best friends? Doesn't 1.271 +that seem strange to go through all that, feel all that over your best friend? Maybe I'm 1.272 +thinking too much. Could she really be in love with her? I mean it's not impossible. I 1.273 +liked Yukito-san... Now that I think of it, Sakura also was a bit "Haniyaaan" around 1.274 +Mizuki-sensei.. 1.275 + 1.276 +"Hmph!" I shake my head furiously at the thought. It was all because of our magical ties 1.277 +with them. I cross my arms, closing my eyes feeling the wind mussing my hair. If one 1.278 +thing is for sure, Tomoyo-san and I look out for her happiness and well-being. She knows 1.279 +we're happy together. She won't jeopordize her happiness.. Our happiness. At least, I 1.280 +don't think so. I hope not. 1.281 + 1.282 +This week is our two year anniversary. I saved up a lot of money for this white gold 1.283 +celestial bracelet. I hope she likes it. I can feel the box fitting snuggly in my breast 1.284 +pocket of my denim jacket. Hopefully within the next four or five years I can save up for 1.285 +an engagement ring. Sure it may seem a bit early for marriage, but I know for sure whom 1.286 +I truly love. There's no other woman for me. I hope she'll except my proposal when I do. 1.287 + 1.288 +Then it hits me. It's not going to be easy. There's her over-protective brother and that 1.289 +damn stuffed animal. They won't let me marry her so easily. They still don't approve of 1.290 +me. What the hell!? I've been treating her like a princess! I helped her become the Card 1.291 +Mistress! I really do love her! Why can't they see that!? Geez, buncha idiots. If I was 1.292 +bad to her, Sakura woulda burned me with Firey or something. I'd never hurt her... 1.293 + 1.294 +"Shaoran!" 1.295 + 1.296 +I turn to see Sakura in the distance with Tomoyo. Both of them wave at me. It's best if 1.297 +I don't think of it. I just want a great afternoon with the girl I love and the girl who 1.298 +made our relationship possible. 1.299 + 1.300 + 1.301 + 1.302 + 1.303 +Author's Ramble: 1.304 + 1.305 +Hello! Hope you people understood whatever Japanese I used. I hope I used it right. ^_^;; 1.306 +Well, it took me awhile but I finally kicked myself in the butt and wrote this down. In 1.307 +art history class too! ^_^;; Also when I should be drawing storyboards for my narrative 1.308 +class! Sigh.. when will I get my priorities straight?? 1.309 + 1.310 + 1.311 +insanelycutetomoyo@yahoo.com 1.312 +http://www.geocities.com/kanzikari/ 1.313 +
