rlm@0: Is it real or just all in my mind? rlm@0: By Radar rlm@0: simon_mcnestrie@hotmail.com rlm@0: rlm@0: ----------- rlm@0: DISCLAIMER: rlm@0: These characters belong to CLAMP! This is a Yuri story so if it rlm@0: offends you please don't read! rlm@0: rlm@0: Sakura opened her eyes slowly, letting them ajust to the light. She rlm@0: sighed softly. 'I miss you Tomoyo-chan!' she whispered, looking at rlm@0: the other half of the bed. The door opened and Miki slowly walked in. rlm@0: She was worried about her grandpa, having hear the elder woman call rlm@0: out for her grandmother on many occasions. 'Are you ok grandpa?' the rlm@0: girl asked. Sakura nodded covering her breasts. The pale girl smiled rlm@0: slightly. She knew what her granddaughter was going through at the rlm@0: moment, as Miki had matured it had become harder to hide the fact rlm@0: that she was female. Slowly getting out of bed, she put a loose shirt rlm@0: on and some trowsers and left the room. Yawning slowly, she made her rlm@0: way to the kitchen. 'Morning!' a loud voice called out. 'Kero-chan!' rlm@0: Sakura muttered, looking at the little beast sitting opposite her rlm@0: chair. She quickly started breakfast, as Kumiko, Hikaru, Sakura and rlm@0: Tomoyo, Miki and Makoto slowly followed her. She sighed softly as rlm@0: Nadeshiko refused to join them, Megumi appologies for this on many rlm@0: occasions, despite Sakura telling her that it was ok if Nadeshiko rlm@0: wanted to eat alone. Her train of thought was interupted by a soft rlm@0: giggle. Looking back on the little group she saw Miki and Makoto rlm@0: giggling softly to each other. 'Who'd have thought!' she mused. 'I rlm@0: take it it's my turn to make breakfast!' Sakura said, as she got out rlm@0: the apron Tomoyo had given her when the auburn haired woman had rlm@0: become determind to cook properly. 'Hai!' they all said. Sakura let rlm@0: out an mock sigh and got to work. rlm@0: rlm@0: A few hours later, Sakura sat, meditating. Miki and Makoto often rlm@0: joined her, but today she asked if she could be alone. 'What's wrong rlm@0: Sakura?' she heard a voice say. 'It's Nadeshiko-chan.. she's still rlm@0: mad at me!' she replied, reaching out with her thoughts. There was a rlm@0: small giggle as Tomoyo appeared in her minds eye. 'She still misses rlm@0: you Tomoyo!' Sakura whispered. Opening her eyes, Sakura smiled rlm@0: brightly. 'That's it!' Standing up, she stumbled before righting rlm@0: herself and running out the door. 'Kero-chan!' she yelled. The little rlm@0: beast slowly floated into her room, rubbing his eyes. 'What?' he rlm@0: muttered. 'Yue has a magical body right?' Kero-chan nodded. 'How'd rlm@0: Clow create it?' The guardian beast looked confused but told her rlm@0: everything he knew. Smiling she ran back to her room and locked the rlm@0: door. She had a lot of work to do. rlm@0: rlm@0: 'Sakura-papa?' Kumiko said, knocking on the older woman's door. 'Are rlm@0: you ok?' The door opened slightly and Sakura popped her head through rlm@0: the crack. 'Hai?' She wiped her forehead, leaving a dirty mark. 'Are rlm@0: you ok papa?' Kumiko asked. Sakura nodded and smiled brightly. Kumiko rlm@0: smiled slightly. 'Miki-chan and Mako-chan were worried about you so rlm@0: they made this up!' She handed Sakura the plate. Sakura's smile rlm@0: widened slightly at seeing the small meal her granddaughter and her rlm@0: girlfriend had prepared. Carefully taking it, she slipped behind the rlm@0: door and closed it again. Looking up she sighed softly at the half rlm@0: finished mass. 'Soon Tomo-chan!' Taking another bite, she set the rlm@0: plate down and went back to work. rlm@0: rlm@0: 'Are you sure Mako-chan?' Miki asked, looking at her lover, very rlm@0: concerned. The pink haired girl nodded. 'I don't want to hide it any rlm@0: more!' she whispered. Slowly, Miki took her love into her arms, rlm@0: gently hugging her. They looked down at the matching gold bands on rlm@0: their fingers, a symbol of their love and devotion to each other. The rlm@0: pale girl looked up and smiled slightly. 'How about we tell them when rlm@0: grandpa's finished whatever she's doing?' she asked. 'Really?' Makoto rlm@0: looked up. Miki nodded. 'I did promise that we would tell everyone!' rlm@0: The slightly smaller girl hugged Miki even tighter. 'Are you ok Mako- rlm@0: chan?' Miki asked. Makoto nodded and looked up smiling. She had rlm@0: become so tired of hiding everything from the people who loved them. rlm@0: They had told Makoto's parents about them. The elder couple had rlm@0: forbidden their daughter from seeing her lover ever again. After two rlm@0: days, Makoto had packed what she needed and left a note saying she rlm@0: was sorry but she had to be with Miki. Time and again every few days rlm@0: for 3 months following Makoto running back to Miki her parents would rlm@0: go to their daughter telling her to go back. The final time they had rlm@0: visited they had told their daughter if she didn't return with them rlm@0: that she would never be their daughter. Adiment, she remind with her rlm@0: love and hadn't heard from the people who had called themselves her rlm@0: parents. Just as they were about to kiss, the whole house shook, rlm@0: throwing them to the ground. 'What was that?' Miki asked, helping rlm@0: Makoto to her feet. Looking closer Miki could see Makoto bite her rlm@0: lower lip. 'She made me promise not to tell Miki-chan!' the pink rlm@0: haired girl replied. Miki looked confused before leaving their rlm@0: bedroom and walking the short distance to Sakura's. She could feel rlm@0: the magic in the room and see a bright light come from the gaps round rlm@0: the door. Suddenly there was a loud thud and the light vanished. 'Is rlm@0: it you?' a soft voice asked. rlm@0: rlm@0: Opening her eyes, Sakura rubbed the back of her head. She hadn't rlm@0: known what would happen. There standing in front of her was a very rlm@0: naked Tomoyo, marvelling her body. 'Is it you?' she asked softly. rlm@0: Tomoyo opened her mouth, 'Sakura?' she asked, just as a whisper. rlm@0: Sakura nodded softly and stood up. Slowly Sakura walked closer to her rlm@0: love, gently stroking her cheek. The pale woman tilted her head into rlm@0: Sakura's hand. Looking down Tomoyo gasped. 'Ummm Sakura..... why am I rlm@0: standing here naked?' Sakura blushed slightly, she'd forgotten about rlm@0: Tomoyo's clothes. 'What's happening Sakura?' Tomoyo asked. The auburn rlm@0: haired woman hessitated. The door opened and two girls walked in rlm@0: slowly. 'Grandpa?' the slightly taller of the two asked. Looking over rlm@0: to her granddaughter Miki moved closer. 'Is that grandma?' Sakura rlm@0: nodded and turned her attenion back to Tomoyo. 'Grandma?' Makoto rlm@0: whispered. 'Is she the person you said you saw Miki-chan?' the pink rlm@0: haired girl asked. Miki nodded slightly. It had been years ago. rlm@0: Having fallen asleep in while bathing, she'd had a vision of her rlm@0: grandmother. Upon waking, her parents had told her that she'd almost rlm@0: drown. 'M... Miki?' the pale woman asked, opening her eyes and rlm@0: focusing on the tall pale girl. Miki nodded and slowly approached rlm@0: Tomoyo, looking in disbelief. 'You died!' Miki whispered, gently rlm@0: poking the elder woman's shoulder. 'Sakura brought me back!' Tomoyo rlm@0: replied, having come out of her trance like state. Smiling at the rlm@0: young woman before her she wrapped her arms around the surprised Miki rlm@0: and pulled her into a tight hug. A second later the door busrt open rlm@0: again and Nadeshiko and Kumiko ran into the room, the younger sister rlm@0: glaring at Sakura almost demanding an explanation. That was untill rlm@0: she saw Tomoyo. 'Mama?' she asked. Shaking her head, she pulled away. rlm@0: 'It can't be you!' rlm@0: 'Nadeshiko-chan!' A voice said from behind her. 'Go away Onii-chan!' rlm@0: Nadeshiko said. 'Nadeshiko-chan please wait!' Tomoyo said, causing rlm@0: Nadeshiko to spin around and look at her. 'You died Tomoyo-mama!' rlm@0: Nadeshiko said. 'I know!' Tomoyo replied. Slowly Tomoyo walked upto rlm@0: her youngest daughter and hugged her, surprised at how tight the pale rlm@0: woman returned her hug. rlm@0: rlm@0: Opening her eyes Sakura smiled slightly as Tomoyo snuggled into her rlm@0: side. Gently she wrapped an arm around her pale wife and gently rlm@0: pulled her closer, inducing a soft giggle from Tomoyo who quickly rlm@0: obliged her wife. It had been 3 months since Tomoyo was brought back rlm@0: to life. Shorty afterwards Miki and Makoto had come to them and told rlm@0: them that they were no longer girlfriends, but a married couple. rlm@0: Slowly Sakura leaned down and gently kissed Tomoyo's forehead. rlm@0: 'Aishiteru Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura whispered. 'Aishiteru Sakura-chan!' rlm@0: Tomoyo replied, gently kissing her auburn haired wife. Snuggling into rlm@0: her side again both women fell asleep. Upon waking the next morning rlm@0: they decided to put the past behind them.
