rlm@2: Is it real or just all in my mind? rlm@2: By Radar rlm@2: simon_mcnestrie@hotmail.com rlm@2: rlm@2: ----------- rlm@2: DISCLAIMER: rlm@2: These characters belong to CLAMP! This is a Yuri story so if it rlm@2: offends you please don't read! rlm@2: rlm@2: Sakura opened her eyes slowly, letting them ajust to the light. She rlm@2: sighed softly. 'I miss you Tomoyo-chan!' she whispered, looking at rlm@2: the other half of the bed. The door opened and Miki slowly walked in. rlm@2: She was worried about her grandpa, having hear the elder woman call rlm@2: out for her grandmother on many occasions. 'Are you ok grandpa?' the rlm@2: girl asked. Sakura nodded covering her breasts. The pale girl smiled rlm@2: slightly. She knew what her granddaughter was going through at the rlm@2: moment, as Miki had matured it had become harder to hide the fact rlm@2: that she was female. Slowly getting out of bed, she put a loose shirt rlm@2: on and some trowsers and left the room. Yawning slowly, she made her rlm@2: way to the kitchen. 'Morning!' a loud voice called out. 'Kero-chan!' rlm@2: Sakura muttered, looking at the little beast sitting opposite her rlm@2: chair. She quickly started breakfast, as Kumiko, Hikaru, Sakura and rlm@2: Tomoyo, Miki and Makoto slowly followed her. She sighed softly as rlm@2: Nadeshiko refused to join them, Megumi appologies for this on many rlm@2: occasions, despite Sakura telling her that it was ok if Nadeshiko rlm@2: wanted to eat alone. Her train of thought was interupted by a soft rlm@2: giggle. Looking back on the little group she saw Miki and Makoto rlm@2: giggling softly to each other. 'Who'd have thought!' she mused. 'I rlm@2: take it it's my turn to make breakfast!' Sakura said, as she got out rlm@2: the apron Tomoyo had given her when the auburn haired woman had rlm@2: become determind to cook properly. 'Hai!' they all said. Sakura let rlm@2: out an mock sigh and got to work. rlm@2: rlm@2: A few hours later, Sakura sat, meditating. Miki and Makoto often rlm@2: joined her, but today she asked if she could be alone. 'What's wrong rlm@2: Sakura?' she heard a voice say. 'It's Nadeshiko-chan.. she's still rlm@2: mad at me!' she replied, reaching out with her thoughts. There was a rlm@2: small giggle as Tomoyo appeared in her minds eye. 'She still misses rlm@2: you Tomoyo!' Sakura whispered. Opening her eyes, Sakura smiled rlm@2: brightly. 'That's it!' Standing up, she stumbled before righting rlm@2: herself and running out the door. 'Kero-chan!' she yelled. The little rlm@2: beast slowly floated into her room, rubbing his eyes. 'What?' he rlm@2: muttered. 'Yue has a magical body right?' Kero-chan nodded. 'How'd rlm@2: Clow create it?' The guardian beast looked confused but told her rlm@2: everything he knew. Smiling she ran back to her room and locked the rlm@2: door. She had a lot of work to do. rlm@2: rlm@2: 'Sakura-papa?' Kumiko said, knocking on the older woman's door. 'Are rlm@2: you ok?' The door opened slightly and Sakura popped her head through rlm@2: the crack. 'Hai?' She wiped her forehead, leaving a dirty mark. 'Are rlm@2: you ok papa?' Kumiko asked. Sakura nodded and smiled brightly. Kumiko rlm@2: smiled slightly. 'Miki-chan and Mako-chan were worried about you so rlm@2: they made this up!' She handed Sakura the plate. Sakura's smile rlm@2: widened slightly at seeing the small meal her granddaughter and her rlm@2: girlfriend had prepared. Carefully taking it, she slipped behind the rlm@2: door and closed it again. Looking up she sighed softly at the half rlm@2: finished mass. 'Soon Tomo-chan!' Taking another bite, she set the rlm@2: plate down and went back to work. rlm@2: rlm@2: 'Are you sure Mako-chan?' Miki asked, looking at her lover, very rlm@2: concerned. The pink haired girl nodded. 'I don't want to hide it any rlm@2: more!' she whispered. Slowly, Miki took her love into her arms, rlm@2: gently hugging her. They looked down at the matching gold bands on rlm@2: their fingers, a symbol of their love and devotion to each other. The rlm@2: pale girl looked up and smiled slightly. 'How about we tell them when rlm@2: grandpa's finished whatever she's doing?' she asked. 'Really?' Makoto rlm@2: looked up. Miki nodded. 'I did promise that we would tell everyone!' rlm@2: The slightly smaller girl hugged Miki even tighter. 'Are you ok Mako- rlm@2: chan?' Miki asked. Makoto nodded and looked up smiling. She had rlm@2: become so tired of hiding everything from the people who loved them. rlm@2: They had told Makoto's parents about them. The elder couple had rlm@2: forbidden their daughter from seeing her lover ever again. After two rlm@2: days, Makoto had packed what she needed and left a note saying she rlm@2: was sorry but she had to be with Miki. Time and again every few days rlm@2: for 3 months following Makoto running back to Miki her parents would rlm@2: go to their daughter telling her to go back. The final time they had rlm@2: visited they had told their daughter if she didn't return with them rlm@2: that she would never be their daughter. Adiment, she remind with her rlm@2: love and hadn't heard from the people who had called themselves her rlm@2: parents. Just as they were about to kiss, the whole house shook, rlm@2: throwing them to the ground. 'What was that?' Miki asked, helping rlm@2: Makoto to her feet. Looking closer Miki could see Makoto bite her rlm@2: lower lip. 'She made me promise not to tell Miki-chan!' the pink rlm@2: haired girl replied. Miki looked confused before leaving their rlm@2: bedroom and walking the short distance to Sakura's. She could feel rlm@2: the magic in the room and see a bright light come from the gaps round rlm@2: the door. Suddenly there was a loud thud and the light vanished. 'Is rlm@2: it you?' a soft voice asked. rlm@2: rlm@2: Opening her eyes, Sakura rubbed the back of her head. She hadn't rlm@2: known what would happen. There standing in front of her was a very rlm@2: naked Tomoyo, marvelling her body. 'Is it you?' she asked softly. rlm@2: Tomoyo opened her mouth, 'Sakura?' she asked, just as a whisper. rlm@2: Sakura nodded softly and stood up. Slowly Sakura walked closer to her rlm@2: love, gently stroking her cheek. The pale woman tilted her head into rlm@2: Sakura's hand. Looking down Tomoyo gasped. 'Ummm Sakura..... why am I rlm@2: standing here naked?' Sakura blushed slightly, she'd forgotten about rlm@2: Tomoyo's clothes. 'What's happening Sakura?' Tomoyo asked. The auburn rlm@2: haired woman hessitated. The door opened and two girls walked in rlm@2: slowly. 'Grandpa?' the slightly taller of the two asked. Looking over rlm@2: to her granddaughter Miki moved closer. 'Is that grandma?' Sakura rlm@2: nodded and turned her attenion back to Tomoyo. 'Grandma?' Makoto rlm@2: whispered. 'Is she the person you said you saw Miki-chan?' the pink rlm@2: haired girl asked. Miki nodded slightly. It had been years ago. rlm@2: Having fallen asleep in while bathing, she'd had a vision of her rlm@2: grandmother. Upon waking, her parents had told her that she'd almost rlm@2: drown. 'M... Miki?' the pale woman asked, opening her eyes and rlm@2: focusing on the tall pale girl. Miki nodded and slowly approached rlm@2: Tomoyo, looking in disbelief. 'You died!' Miki whispered, gently rlm@2: poking the elder woman's shoulder. 'Sakura brought me back!' Tomoyo rlm@2: replied, having come out of her trance like state. Smiling at the rlm@2: young woman before her she wrapped her arms around the surprised Miki rlm@2: and pulled her into a tight hug. A second later the door busrt open rlm@2: again and Nadeshiko and Kumiko ran into the room, the younger sister rlm@2: glaring at Sakura almost demanding an explanation. That was untill rlm@2: she saw Tomoyo. 'Mama?' she asked. Shaking her head, she pulled away. rlm@2: 'It can't be you!' rlm@2: 'Nadeshiko-chan!' A voice said from behind her. 'Go away Onii-chan!' rlm@2: Nadeshiko said. 'Nadeshiko-chan please wait!' Tomoyo said, causing rlm@2: Nadeshiko to spin around and look at her. 'You died Tomoyo-mama!' rlm@2: Nadeshiko said. 'I know!' Tomoyo replied. Slowly Tomoyo walked upto rlm@2: her youngest daughter and hugged her, surprised at how tight the pale rlm@2: woman returned her hug. rlm@2: rlm@2: Opening her eyes Sakura smiled slightly as Tomoyo snuggled into her rlm@2: side. Gently she wrapped an arm around her pale wife and gently rlm@2: pulled her closer, inducing a soft giggle from Tomoyo who quickly rlm@2: obliged her wife. It had been 3 months since Tomoyo was brought back rlm@2: to life. Shorty afterwards Miki and Makoto had come to them and told rlm@2: them that they were no longer girlfriends, but a married couple. rlm@2: Slowly Sakura leaned down and gently kissed Tomoyo's forehead. rlm@2: 'Aishiteru Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura whispered. 'Aishiteru Sakura-chan!' rlm@2: Tomoyo replied, gently kissing her auburn haired wife. Snuggling into rlm@2: her side again both women fell asleep. Upon waking the next morning rlm@2: they decided to put the past behind them.
