    1.11 +WARNING! this is a yuri story!
    1.12 +these characters aside from the ones I created are the property of
    1.13 +clamp!
    1.14 +
    1.15 +Sakura sighed softly, her emerald eyes half closed as Tomoyo
    1.16 +snuggled agaisnt her.
    1.17 +'Sakura-chan? Are you ok?' the pale girl asked, noticing Sakura's
    1.18 +unusual lack of interest in the movie.
    1.19 +'Yeah.. just a little tired I guess!' the auburn haired girl
    1.20 +replied. True she'd been a little tired lately but what could be
    1.21 +expected when she was helping to plan her own wedding with Tomoyo.
    1.22 +Tomoyo smiled slightly, kissing Sakura's cheek. 'Your having
    1.23 +difficultly keeping up with me in our plans aren't you?' Tomoyo asked.
    1.24 +'Hai!' Sakura replied, mid yawn. 'But you've been planning this
    1.25 +since we were 10 years old!'
    1.26 +Tomoyo giggled softly, bringing a smile to Sakura's face. 'Sakura-
    1.27 +chan..' Tomoyo started, before a loud explosion eminated from the TV.
    1.28 +'I know.. you want our wedding to be perfect!' Sakura finished,
    1.29 +lightly kissing the pale teenager.
    1.30 +'And it will be!' Tomoyo smiled brightly. Never had she thought that
    1.31 +she'd marry Sakura.
    1.32 +Always had she thought that the auburn haired cardmistress would run
    1.33 +off with Syaoran Li.
    1.34 +'What are you thinking about?' Sakura asked. 'What Sakura-chan will
    1.35 +look like in her wedding dress!' Tomoyo replied, a mental image of a
    1.36 +blushing Sakura in a wedding dress instantly coming into her
    1.37 +imagination.
    1.38 +'Hoe.. Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura whined, blushing brightly. Tomoyo
    1.39 +giggled again, resting her head on Sakura's shoulder. Slowly Sakura
    1.40 +feel asleep, her head lightly resting against Tomoyo's.
    1.41 +
    1.42 +'Sakura?' a voice called out to her. 'Who's there?' she called back
    1.43 +before a figure appeared a short distance from her.
    1.44 +'Who are you?' Sakura asked, approaching the figure. 'I can't tell
    1.45 +you now.. but if you continue your plans to marry Tomoyo it will head
    1.46 +to disaster!'
    1.47 +'No it won't!' Sakura countered. 'We love each other!' The figure
    1.48 +laughed.
    1.49 +'I know.. but if you get married now you'll face a terrible fate!'
    1.50 +
    1.51 +Sakura opened her eyes, gasping. Looking up she saw her older
    1.52 +brother standing over her.
    1.53 +'About time Kaijuu!' he said. 'Go away Onii-chan!' Sakura said.
    1.54 +Touya raised an eyebrow.
    1.55 +Sakura hadn't even repsonded to his teasing this time. 'What's the
    1.56 +matter Sakura?' he asked, just noticing Tomoyo standing at the door.
    1.57 +'Bad dream!' Sakura replied. 'Again?' Sakura nodded. 'This person
    1.58 +says I shouldn't marry Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura said, 'I want to! But if
    1.59 +tell her I don't want to I'll hurt her! And I don't want to do that!'
    1.60 +Touya sighed softly.
    1.61 +'Did this person say it was a mistake to marry her?'
    1.62 +'Yeah!' Sakura replied. Touya smiled slightly. 'Wierd!' Sakura
    1.63 +thought, having only seen her older brother smile on a few occansions.
    1.64 +'It might be a mistake Sakura.. but it's your mistake to make!'
    1.65 +Touya said, before notiing Sakura's confused look.
    1.66 +'You should marry her if it's what you want Sakura! No one can tell
    1.67 +you other wise!' Touya said. Sakura smiled slightly.
    1.68 +'Arigatou Onii-chan!' she said, before pausing for a moment. 'And
    1.69 +I'm not a Kaijuu!' she added, raising her voice.
    1.70 +'She's back to normal now!' Touya thought leaving the room. 'You can
    1.71 +come in now Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura said, laying back on her pillow.
    1.72 +'Are you ok Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo asked, laying next to Sakura. 'Hai!
    1.73 +And I've come to a decision!' Sakura said.
    1.74 +'You want to call the wedding off don't you?' Tomoyo said sadly.
    1.75 +Sakura smiled brightly. 'Nope! I want to marry you right now!' Sakura
    1.76 +said, turning to face Tomoyo.
    1.77 +'R... Really?' Tomoyo asked, unsure if she heard her girlfriend right.
    1.78 +'Hai!' the auburn haired girl said, hugging the pale girl with one
    1.79 +arm.
    1.80 +'But I haven't even made your dress yet! I haven't even thought of
    1.81 +making the cake!' Tomoyo said, counting down what still had to be
    1.82 +done.
    1.83 +Sakura smiled slightly before stopping Tomoyo by placing a finger
    1.84 +over the pale girls lips.
    1.85 +'I know what still needs doing Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura said, 'But I
    1.86 +think you should know something!'
    1.87 +Suddenly she stood up and walked to her closet. Carefully she pulled
    1.88 +out 2 dresses. Tomoyo gasped.
    1.89 +'You made these?' she asked. 'Um.. no! This was my mothers wedding
    1.90 +dress!' Sakura said, raising the dress in her left hand, 'And this
    1.91 +was your mothers!' Sakura finished raising her right hand.
    1.92 +Tomoyo stood up and slowly walked towards Sakura and gently felt the
    1.93 +dresses that their mothers had woren when the had gotten married.
    1.94 +'Wow!' Tomoyo whispered. 'Where'd you get them?' Rarely was she
    1.95 +surprise by what Sakura could do but this time she was.
    1.96 +Sakura laughed nervously. 'Um.. Sonomi-sama would only let me borrow
    1.97 +this is if she could see you in it Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura said. Tomoyo
    1.98 +smiled slightly.
    1.99 +'But it might not fit me!' she said, 'It looks like it'd fit you!'
   1.100 +Sakura nodded slightly, 'It might!'
   1.101 +'But what about school?' Tomoyo asked. It was their final year and
   1.102 +she didn't want either to fail their exams because they skipped a day
   1.103 +to get married.
   1.104 +'Don't worry Tomoyo-chan.. we'll do it after school!' Sakura said,
   1.105 +putting the dresses back in the closet.
   1.106 +Tomoyo sighed softly and smiled. Sakura's impulsiveness was one of
   1.107 +the many things the pale hairess loved about her.
   1.108 +'Let's do it Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo said. It wasn't often she went
   1.109 +along with Sakura's impulsivness, but this one time she felt it was
   1.110 +the right thing to do.
   1.111 +'Did you find somewhere on such short notice Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo
   1.112 +asked, as Sakura carefully put their dresses away.
   1.113 +'Hai! Its a small temple in Tokyo!' Sakura replied. She sighed
   1.114 +softly having gone almost everywhere else she could think of only to
   1.115 +be turned down the instant she mentioned she was marrying another
   1.116 +girl.
   1.117 +She'd been surprised to find the owner of the temple agreeing to
   1.118 +hold the wedding 'It won't be the first time for that kind of
   1.119 +ceremony!' the old man had said.
   1.120 +This was Tomoyo's first clue. 'She's been planning this for a
   1.121 +while!' she thought. Her smile grew slightly.
   1.122 +Sakura sat next to Tomoyo and smiled slightly. 'Are you ok with
   1.123 +this?' she asked.
   1.124 +'Of course Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo replied. Sakura had concerned about
   1.125 +Tomoyo's happiness since they had started dating, having realised the
   1.126 +pain she'd unintentionally caused Tomoyo.
   1.127 +'Girls!' a voice called out, 'Breakfast!' The girls smiled and left
   1.128 +the room.
   1.129 +
   1.130 +As they walked to school, the reality set in. They were going to get
   1.131 +married.
   1.132 +'Sakura-chan.. Tomoyo-chan! Wait up!' a couple of voices called out.
   1.133 +They stopped and turned around to see Rika, Naoko and Chihiru running
   1.134 +towards them.
   1.135 +'You walk too fast!' Naoko said, when they caught upto them. 'Sorry
   1.136 +about that!' Tomoyo said. Sakura smiled slightly.
   1.137 +'Have you set a date yet?' Rika asked. 'Yep!' Sakura replied.
   1.138 +'When?' Chihiru asked. 'Today!' Sakura asked.
   1.139 +'After school!' Sakura added, noticing the confused look on her
   1.140 +friends faces. 'Today?' Chiharu asked.
   1.141 +'Hai Chiharu-chan!' Sakura replied. 'Where?' Naoko asked. 'It's a
   1.142 +small temple in Tyoko!' Tomoyo said.
   1.143 +Their three friends looked at each other with mixed emotions. 'Have
   1.144 +you told your parents yet?' Rika asked.
   1.145 +'We told Sonomi-sama!' Sakura said, 'I just have to tell Onii-chan
   1.146 +and my father!' Sakura sighed softly.
   1.147 +She had no idea how she was going to tell Touya and her father that
   1.148 +the wedding plans had changed on such short notice.
   1.149 +'Wow!' Chiharu said. 'Do you have your dresses?' Tomoyo asked. The
   1.150 +girls nodded, and smiled. As they walked into the school building
   1.151 +they talked about where they were meeting.
   1.152 +
   1.153 +They stood outside the school, wondering why Sakura had asked them
   1.154 +to meet her here.
   1.155 +Slowly Sakura walked out of the school. 'Hi!' She called out,
   1.156 +jogging upto them. 'Why'd you call us her Kaijuu?' Touya asked.
   1.157 +'I'm not a Kaijuu!' Sakura yelled, kicking him in the shins. He
   1.158 +whinched, it wasn't that bad when Sakura was younger, but now he
   1.159 +wondered if it was a good idea to continue to tease his sister.
   1.160 +'Sakura-chan..' Fujitaka said, attracting her attention. Sakura
   1.161 +looked at him blankly for a moment, the reason she'd asked them to
   1.162 +meet her forgoten.
   1.163 +'Oh.. the date's changed!' she said. 'To when Sakura-chan?' her
   1.164 +father asked.
   1.165 +'Today.. after school!' Sakura replied, handing the a piece of paper
   1.166 +with the temples address on it.
   1.167 +'Oh!' She looked up and smiled slightly. She turned and walked back
   1.168 +into the school. Fujitaka smiled slightly, before looking at the note.
   1.169 +'Looks like I'll have to tell Yuki!' Touya said, as they walked
   1.170 +away. Fujitaka smiled as he watched Sakura vanish from sight.
   1.171 +Soon she'd marry the person she loved.
   1.172 +
   1.173 +Sakura sighed, lightly poking her food. In a few hours she'd be
   1.174 +married to the person she loved more then anything.
   1.175 +'Sakura-chan.. are you ok?' a soft voice asked, bringing her out
   1.176 +thoughts. 'Hai?' she smiled slightly.
   1.177 +Being with Tomoyo always had a calming effect on her. Tomoyo smiled
   1.178 +at her, obviously hiding her own nervousness.
   1.179 +Sakura sighed softly. Marriage, what if they wanted children? She'd
   1.180 +never thought of that before.
   1.181 +'What are you thinking about Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo asked. Sakura
   1.182 +looked up into Tomoyo's stormy blue eyes.
   1.183 +'What if you want to have a child Tomoyo-chan?' Sakura asked softly.
   1.184 +What if the pale girl wanted a child.
   1.185 +She certainly couldn't give her one. 'We'll deal with that when the
   1.186 +time comes Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo replied. Sakura smiled.
   1.187 +She'd asked Kero-chan if he knew how 2 girls could have a child. He
   1.188 +had smiled and said it was simple and went off into a complicated
   1.189 +explaination.
   1.190 +'Hi Sakura-chan!' a voice said, from behind them. Slowly turning
   1.191 +they saw Meiling and Syaoran Li.
   1.192 +Syaoran's scowl vanished into a small smile for a moment before it
   1.193 +returned. Sakura moved slightly, allowing Syaoran and Meiling to sit
   1.194 +down.
   1.195 +Quickly Meiling sat next to Sakura before her cousin could. Syaorans
   1.196 +scowled again, sitting next to Meiling.
   1.197 +'How's the wedding plans coming Tomoyo?' Meiling asked, taking a
   1.198 +bite of her food.
   1.199 +The pale girl smiled and lauched into a lengthy expaination of the
   1.200 +progress of the wedding plans, inclueding the change in dates.
   1.201 +At the end Meiling sat looking at her food, utterly confused. 'All I
   1.202 +asked was how the wedding plans coming!' she thought.
   1.203 +Sakura smiled slightly at her, knowin full well how much this was
   1.204 +confusing. 'So they're going well then?' Syaoran asked bluntly.
   1.205 +'Hai!' Sakura replied. Meiling smiled. 'Good!' she said. Syaoran
   1.206 +looked at her, shocked.
   1.207 +'How can this be good?' he asked himself. His jealousy grew. Hadn't
   1.208 +Sakura been in love with him?
   1.209 +He was sure of this when he'd had to return to China. Suddenly
   1.210 +Sakura and Tomoyo had become a couple and were about to get married.
   1.211 +When had this happened? Meiling looked at her cousin and smiled.
   1.212 +She'd right all along.
   1.213 +Sakura turned to them, a slight blush covering her cheeks. 'Would
   1.214 +you like to come to the wedding?' she asked.
   1.215 +Meiling nodded, her smile growing slightly. She turned to Syaoran,
   1.216 +who remained silent until she jabbed him with her elbow.
   1.217 +Slowly he nodded. 'Arigatou!' Sakura said.
   1.218 +
   1.219 +A few hours later, she stood a the entrance of the shrine. Tomoyo
   1.220 +was inside waiting for her, as was everyone else.
   1.221 +'This is it Sakura!' she whispered to herself. She was looked down
   1.222 +at herself, dressed in Sonomi's wedding dress, she closed her eyes
   1.223 +visualising Tomoyo in Nadeshiko's.
   1.224 +Opening her eyes, she slowly walked into the shrine ready to marry
   1.225 +the person she loved and face their future.
   1.226 +
   1.227 +YEARS LATER
   1.228 +
   1.229 +'Papa!' a small voice said, before someone hugged her legs tightly.
   1.230 +Looking down she smiled brightly at her young daughter.
   1.231 +'Hi Nadeshiko-chan!' she said. It was a few moments before the young
   1.232 +girl let her legs go to look up
   1.233 + Getting on her knees, Sakura was surprised at the tightness of the
   1.234 +young girls hug. 'Are you ok Nadeshiko-chan?' Sakura asked, holding
   1.235 +the girl as she slowly stood up.
   1.236 +Nadeshiko nodded, looking up and smiling at her. 'How are you
   1.237 +feeling Nadeshiko-chan?' Sakura asked, carefully resting her free
   1.238 +hand on her daughters forehead.
   1.239 +'Much better!' The pale girl said. 'Sakura-san?' a voice came from
   1.240 +behind her. 'Megumi-chan!' Nadeshiko whispered, her smile growing
   1.241 +slightly as Sakura set her down.
   1.242 +'Hi Nadeshiko-chan!' Megumi said, blushing as Nadeshiko hugged her
   1.243 +tightly, her new found feelings for her friend making her blush
   1.244 +brighter.
   1.245 +Sakura giggled softly. 'How are you Megumi-chan?' a soft voice
   1.246 +asked, coming from the living room.
   1.247 +Nadeshiko smiled slightly as Megumi blushed again. 'I.. I'm ok
   1.248 +Tomoyo-san!' the blonde haired girl replied.
   1.249 +'Can I show you something Megumi-chan?' Nadeshiko asked. As soon as
   1.250 +the young blonde nodded her head, Nadeshiko took hold of her hand and
   1.251 +lead her away.
   1.252 +Sakura smiled as she watched the girls go, knowing what her young
   1.253 +daughter was showing her friend.
   1.254 +She blushed when she felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around her
   1.255 +waist. 'How was school Daidouji-sensei?' a soft voice asked.
   1.256 +'It went well Daidouji-san!' Sakura replied. 'Are you sure this is
   1.257 +ok Nadeshiko-chan?' they heard Megumi ask.
   1.258 +'Hai!' Nadeshiko replied. 'Hi papa!' Nadeshiko said, looking towards
   1.259 +the door. Tomoyo smiled slightly, seeing their youngest daughter and
   1.260 +her friend in hers and Sakura's wedding dresses.
   1.261 +'What do you think?' the pale gil asked, slowly turning around. 'You
   1.262 +look very pretty Nadeshiko-chan!' Sakura said.
   1.263 +Nadeshiko smiled brightly. 'Arigatou Sakura-papa!'
   1.264 +'Who'd you marry Nadeshiko-chan?' Tomoyo asked, picking a camera up
   1.265 +from her bedside table.
   1.266 +Nadeshiko giggled softly before hugging Megumi. 'Megumi-chan!' she
   1.267 +replied, smiling as the blonde haired girl blushed brightly.
   1.268 +'Why is Nadeshiko-chan doing this?' she asked herself. She smiled as
   1.269 +Nadeshiko hugged her while Tomoyo took their picture.
   1.270 +Nadeshiko smiled again while Megumi blushed brighter. 'Is that going
   1.271 +next to Onii-chan's?' Nadeshiko asked.
   1.272 +Tomoyo nodded slightly. The pale girl smiled and hugged her mother
   1.273 +tightly before they changed out of the wedding dresses and left the
   1.274 +room.
   1.275 +Sakura smiled slightly, looking at the wall she saw 3 similar
   1.276 +pictures. Her and Tomoyo on their wedding day, Kumiko and Hikaru at
   1.277 +Nadeshiko's age dressed in their wedding dresses, and another of
   1.278 +Kumiko and Hikaru on their wedding day.
   1.279 +Sakura smiled slightly, remembering the small children she and
   1.280 +Tomoyo had brought home. 
   1.281 +They've grown so quickly!' she thought. She turned to see Tomoyo
   1.282 +smile at her, knowing what she was thinking.
   1.283 +Slowly they left the room, letting some memories rest. At least, for
   1.284 +now.
