rlm@2: offends you please don't read!
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Sakura Kinomoto was in a bad mood. And she didn't know why. Getting
rlm@2: out of bed, she quickly got dressed and went downstairs. 'Watch out
rlm@2: Kaijuu!' Touya said as Sakura almost bumbed into him. Sakura ignored
rlm@2: his teasing and made her breakfast. She and Tomoyo had been very
rlm@2: busy. The older cheerleaders and the older members of the choir had
rlm@2: graduated and left for university. Tomoyo was now helping the newer
rlm@2: members fit in as was Sakura. She felt lonier then she did when
rlm@2: Syaoran and her had drifted apart from his time in Hong Kong.
rlm@2: Standing up, she quickly left and walked to school.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Tomoyo Daidouji stood at the school gates waiting for Sakura. She'd
rlm@2: been hoping to ask her auburn haired friend about the mood she'd been
rlm@2: in recently. She had asked her mother about it. Sonomi had smiled at
rlm@2: her daughter and reassured her that things would return to normal.
rlm@2: 'Daidouji-sempai!' a voice called out, interrupting her trail of
rlm@2: thought. Turning around she saw a small Blonde haired girl jogging
rlm@2: towards her. 'Good Morning Emi-chan!' Tomoyo said, once the smaller
rlm@2: girl was closer. 'How are you Daidouji-sempai?' Emi asked. 'I'm
rlm@2: alright Emi-chan!' Tomoyo replied. 'Have you seen Saura-chan?' Emi's
rlm@2: featured darkened slightly when Sakura's name was mentioned. 'Not
rlm@2: today Daidouji-sempai!' Emi replied. Tomoyo smiled slightly at the
rlm@2: younger girl. She'd known for a while how the other girl felt about
rlm@2: her. It hurt a little when she couldn't return the other girls
rlm@2: feelings. 'Emi-chan!' a voice called out, attracting the younger
rlm@2: girls attention. Turning around, she smiled when she saw a blue
rlm@2: haired girl jogging up to her. 'Miyuki-chan!' Emi squealed and ran up
rlm@2: to her friend. Looking at Tomoyo the blue haired girl took her
rlm@2: friends hand and lead her to their homeroom. Tomoyo sighed softly,
rlm@2: watching the girls leave. She knew how Miyuki felt about her blonde
rlm@2: haired friend. Miyuki had told her when she saw the girl leave Choir
rlm@2: with tears in her eyes. Soon after she saw that Miyuki had joined the
rlm@2: cheerleading squad. 'Tomoyo-chan!' another voice broke her trail of
rlm@2: thought. Spinning around, her smile grew upon seeing her auburn
rlm@2: haired best friend. She could see that Sakura's mood had become her
rlm@2: usual cheerful mood. 'Hi Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo said, meeting her
rlm@2: friend. Taking Sakura's hand with ease they walked to their homeroom,
rlm@2: passing Emi and Miyuki on their way. Sakura noticed that Emi gave her
rlm@2: a dirty look as they passed. 'Is Emi-chan ok?' Sakura asked. 'I think
rlm@2: so!' Tomoyo replied. Sitting down at their desks, Tomoyo realised why
rlm@2: Sakura was not her usual self... it was like she was jealous. Quickly
rlm@2: Tomoyo wrote something down on a piece of paper and handed it to
rlm@2: Sakura just as their teacher walked in. Opening the note Sakura read
rlm@2: it and reread it. Looking at her friend, she nodded slightly before
rlm@2: starting to pay attention to their lesson.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Miyuki looked at her friend sitting at the desk beside her. She felt
rlm@2: a stab of jealousy. 'Why Emi-chan?' she thought. 'Why her and not
rlm@2: me?' She lowered her head and concentrated on her work. She knew Emi
rlm@2: was worried about her, having noticed some suspicious marks on her
rlm@2: body and the way she had been acting. 'Are you ok Miyuki-chan?' Emi
rlm@2: whispered, looking at her friend. Nodding Miyuki kept her
rlm@2: concentration on her work, her shoulder length blue hair obscuring
rlm@2: her eyes. 'Really?' Emi asked. Again Miyuki nodded gripping her pen a
rlm@2: little tighter. Emi shook her head slightly. She worried about her
rlm@2: friend. Miyuki was mysterious about many things. Especially about the
rlm@2: way she had been acting lately. Emi looked at Miyuki again. The blue
rlm@2: haired girl had become so withdrawn. 'Kino-san!' their teachers voice
rlm@2: made her jump in her seat. 'Hai sensai?'
rlm@2: 'Please pay attention!' Emi blushed slightly. 'Hai sensei!' she
rlm@2: replied, shifting her attention from her friend to her class work,
rlm@2: every few minutes looking over at her friend.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Sakura stretched and yawned. It had been a long day, and it wasn't
rlm@2: over yet. She watched some of the newer cheerleaders go through the
rlm@2: routines. Only Miyuki seemed distracted. Gently Sakura pulled Miyuki
rlm@2: to one side. 'Miyuki-chan are you ok?' she asked. The blue haired
rlm@2: girl nodded, not looking up. 'Hai Kinomoto-sempai!' she whispered,
rlm@2: before going in the locker room to change. 'I just wish Emi-chan
rlm@2: didn't love your girlfriend!' she muttered once out of earshot of
rlm@2: Sakura. Sakura watched her go, very concerned. She had seen the marks
rlm@2: on Miyuki's body and she had started to wonder where they had come
rlm@2: from. Meanwhile Tomoyo was getting ready to meet with Sakura. Slowly
rlm@2: Emi walked up to Tomoyo. 'Um... Sempai?' the shorter girl asked.
rlm@2: 'Hai?' Tomoyo said, turning around. 'I.. er...' Emi stuttered,
rlm@2: suddenly feeling very shy. She fumbled with her hands, so intent on
rlm@2: telling Tomoyo how she felt, she failed to notice Miyuki standing in
rlm@2: the door way. 'I really like you Daidouji-sempai!' Emi finally said.
rlm@2: 'No!'
rlm@2: 'Miyuki-chan?' Emi asked, seeing her best friend standing by the
rlm@2: door, tears in her eyes and falling down her cheeks. Before Emi could
rlm@2: say anything else the blue haired girl ran.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Closing the door, Miyuki cried heavily. She'd been to late, now she
rlm@2: was scared she'd lost everything. Slowly she walked to the edge of
rlm@2: the roof, tears still falling. 'Nothing left!' she whispered,
rlm@2: climbing onto the edge. The pain she felt when she heard Emi tell
rlm@2: Tomoyo she liked her had gone, replaced only with a dull throb where
rlm@2: her heart was. 'Miyuki-chan?' a voice asked. 'No! Please just leave
rlm@2: me alone!' she thought as she carefully turned around. 'Please
rlm@2: Kinomoto-sempai!' she whispered, 'Leave me alone!'
rlm@2: 'No..!' Sakura said walking closer very slowly. She'd heard
rlm@2: everything, and saw Miyuki run off crying heavily. Turning to face
rlm@2: her friend she saw utter confusion on Emi's face and Tomoyo's was
rlm@2: unreadable. Sakura was close enough to grab the younger teen, but
rlm@2: stopped before she did. 'Why?' Miyuki whispered, 'Why her?'
rlm@2: 'Miyuki-chan?' Sakura asked. 'Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo's soft voice
rlm@2: asked, causing Sakura to turn around. 'Stay back Tomoyo!' Sakura
rlm@2: said, before turning back to Miyuki. Tomoyo noted that Sakura had
rlm@2: dropped the "chan" suffix. 'She's serious?' Tomoyo asked herself.
rlm@2: 'Come on Miyuki-chan!' Sakura said, extending her hand. The blue
rlm@2: haired girl shook her head, shuffling her feet backwards slightly.
rlm@2: Again Sakura slowly eased forwards. 'Why do you want to do this
rlm@2: Miyuki-chan?' Sakura asked. Miyuki mumbled something incoherent, not
rlm@2: noticing a third person stepping on to the roof. 'Miyuki-chan...
rlm@2: please!' Sakura said, holding her hand out to the blue haired girl.
rlm@2: Again Miyuki shook her head. Slowly she fell backwards, extending her
rlm@2: arms. However Sakura was already in motion. She grabbed the smaller
rlm@2: girl by the waist and pulled her off the edge. They hit the ground,
rlm@2: hard. 'Why?' Miyuki asked, crying heavily and hitting Sakura's chest
rlm@2: with her free hand. 'Miyuki-chan?' a soft voice asked. Miyuki gasped,
rlm@2: her eyes opening wide. Emi was here? She wasn't supposed to see her
rlm@2: now. Sakura looked up, and saw Emi kneeling next to them with tears
rlm@2: in her eyes. Carefully, she took her blue haired friend into her
rlm@2: arms. After seeing her friend run from her and Tomoyo looking so hurt
rlm@2: she realised that it was Miyuki she cared for more then Tomoyo. 'I'm
rlm@2: so sorry Miyuki-chan!' she whispered. The slightly smaller girl
rlm@2: looked at her friend. Why was Emi apologising to her? Carefully Emi
rlm@2: hugged Miyuki tighter. Standing up, Sakura gently led Tomoyo off the
rlm@2: roof, sensing the other girls need for privacy. Carefully Emi helped
rlm@2: Miyuki to her feet, still hugging her. 'Emi-chan....' Miyuki
rlm@2: whispered. 'I'm so so sorry Miyuki-chan!' Emi whispered, gently
rlm@2: hugging the other girl tighter. Slowly Miyuki turned around in her
rlm@2: friends hug. Looking up Emi lightly kissed her friends cheek, before
rlm@2: looking down again. 'I don't want to loose you Miyuki-chan!' Emi
rlm@2: whispered. Slowly Miyuki put her arms around the smaller girl. Gently
rlm@2: she kissed the blonde haired girls cheek. 'I don't want to loose you
rlm@2: either Emi-chan!' Miyuki whispered. Looking up, the smaller girl
rlm@2: blushed slightly. Leaning closer she gently pressed her lips to her
rlm@2: friends. Leaning away Miyuki blushed brightly. 'Why did you do that
rlm@2: Emi-chan?' Miyuki asked. Emi blushed brightly and gently pressed her
rlm@2: face into the taller girls breast. 'Because when you ran off, I
rlm@2: realised that it is you that I really like Miyuki-chan!' Emi replied.
rlm@2: When Emi looked up again, Miyuki saw something in the other girls
rlm@2: eyes: hope. The taller girl smiled slightly and gently pressed her
rlm@2: lips to Emi's again.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Sakura sighed softly as she rubbed her right shoulder. 'Are you ok
rlm@2: Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo asked, seeing Sakura rub her shoulder again.
rlm@2: 'I'll be ok Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura replied, smiling at the pale girl.
rlm@2: Tomoyo smiled herself as Sakura gently wrapped an arm around her.
rlm@2: Gently she put a hand on Sakura's right shoulder, only to pull it
rlm@2: away an instant later when she saw Sakura wince in pain. 'Please show
rlm@2: me Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo said. Looking into Tomoyo's stormy blue eyes,
rlm@2: Sakura knew she couldn't refuse. Undoing the top buttons on her shirt
rlm@2: she gently moved the right shoulder of her shirt down to reveal a
rlm@2: large bruise. Gently Tomoyo started to rub Sakura's injured shoulder.
rlm@2: 'Isn't this one of the places my foot hit when we were....'
rlm@2: 'Hai!' Sakura said, cutting the pale girl off. Turning her head, she
rlm@2: blushed slightly remembering that night. Carefully Tomoyo pressed her
rlm@2: lips to Sakura's shoulder before the auburn haired teen could fasten
rlm@2: her shirt up. 'I'll be gentle next time Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo
rlm@2: whispered, gently kissing Sakura's cheek. She giggled softly noticing
rlm@2: Sakura blushing deeper. Wrapping her arm around Tomoyo's waist again,
rlm@2: they walked out of the school building, followed soon after by Miyuki
rlm@2: and Emi. The elder couple knew what the smiles on the younger girls
rlm@2: faces meant.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: YEARS LATER
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Sakura smiled slightly as she put away the last book. Slowly she
rlm@2: looked down at the baby in her arm. 'Should it be the fourth grades
rlm@2: assignments or the third grades?' she whispered. The baby gurgled
rlm@2: slightly and yawned. 'Third grade it is!' Sakura said, looking at the
rlm@2: young girl sitting opposite her writing something in her book. The
rlm@2: baby gurgled again letting her know that as long as she was
rlm@2: comfortable she was happy with what ever Sakura decided. Slowly
rlm@2: Sakura grabbed the top book with her free hand and looked at the
rlm@2: young girl again. 'Yuki-chan, are you ok?' The young girl nodded and
rlm@2: went back to her work. Yuki looked exactly like Tomoyo when she was
rlm@2: that age, except for her emerald eyes and streaks of white in her
rlm@2: hair. The baby gurgled again softly as she flexed her hands for what
rlm@2: Sakura presumed was for her own amusement. Yuki looked at what her
rlm@2: baby sister was doing and smiled slightly. 'Mihoshi-chan liked to do
rlm@2: that doesn't she papa?' she asked, going back to her homework. Sakura
rlm@2: smiled as she set her pen down and watched her youngest daughter.
rlm@2: 'Hai, she does!' Sakura whispered, gently adjusting the baby in her
rlm@2: arm. She looked up and smiled at her eldest daughter before picking
rlm@2: her pen up again. It was no secret that most girls in Yuki's class
rlm@2: had asked why she had streaks of white in her dark hair. Many had
rlm@2: started to tease her when she had said they were natural. 'Hello
rlm@2: Sempai!' a voice said. Looking up they saw Emi walking towards them,
rlm@2: with an arm full of books. 'Hi Kino-sensei!' Yuki said. 'Hi Emi-
rlm@2: chan!' Sakura said, as Mihoshi gurgled again. 'Mama?' a young girl
rlm@2: whispered, gently tugging on Emi's shirt. Emi smiled as she looked at
rlm@2: her daughter. 'Hai Hotaru-chan?' Emi asked. Setting her books on the
rlm@2: table, Emi kneeled down so the young girl could whisper something
rlm@2: into her mothers ear. Emi giggled softly. 'You were that small as
rlm@2: well Hotaru-chan!' At that time Mihoshi started crying loudly. Yuki
rlm@2: looked at her blue haired friend as she slowly backed away from the
rlm@2: crying child in Sakura's arms. Sakura looked up and smiled at the
rlm@2: young girl. 'It's all right Hotaru-san!' she said, 'This is her
rlm@2: hungry cry.' Turning around Sakura un buttoned her shirt and
rlm@2: manoeuvred the baby closer to her breast. Whenever Tomoyo was asleep
rlm@2: or busy with her company's paper work Sakura often breastfed Mihoshi
rlm@2: when she needed to be fed. She was thankful that her magic allowed
rlm@2: her to lactate when the baby needed feeding. It was the same when
rlm@2: Yuki was a baby. Emi leaned down again as Hotaru whispered something
rlm@2: into her ear again. Yuki smiled slightly, having guessed what Hotaru
rlm@2: had asked. 'She feeding the baby Hotaru-chan!' Yuki said, smiling
rlm@2: slightly at her best friend. Taking the blued haired girls hand, Yuki
rlm@2: led her friend to her room to show Hotaru her collection. Slowly
rlm@2: Mihoshi stopped feeding and Sakura buttoned her shirt up. 'Hotaru's a
rlm@2: nice girl!' Sakura said, sitting back down. Emi smiled saddly. 'But
rlm@2: she's very shy!' Sakura looked at the younger woman confused. Still
rlm@2: smiling sadly Emi decided to explain everything.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: Yuki smiled at the other girl as she showed her the collection of
rlm@2: stuffed animaled she'd gotten from her papa. However the other girl
rlm@2: had simply sat on the bed, just listening to her. 'What's wrong
rlm@2: Hotaru-chan?' Yuki asked, sitting next to the blue haired girl. She
rlm@2: was surprised when Hotaru slowly moved away from her. 'You don't want
rlm@2: to touch me!' the other girl whispered, 'I'm dirty!'
rlm@2: 'No you're not!' Yuki said, scooting closer to her friend. 'Yes I
rlm@2: am!' Hotaru said, with tears in her eyes. 'I'm dirty because my papa
rlm@2: is dirty!' Curling up into a ball she started to cry. 'Papa hurt mama
rlm@2: lots! Okaa-san and mama don't talk about it but I know that I
rlm@2: happened after he hurt her!' the girl said as tears ran down her now
rlm@2: pale cheeks. 'Everyone stares at me because they know my real papa
rlm@2: hurt my mama...' Slowly Yuki hugged her blue haired friend, not
rlm@2: letting go as Hotaru struggled to get away. 'Please let me go! I
rlm@2: don't want you to be dirty as well!' Yuki shook her head. 'You aren't
rlm@2: dirty Hotaru-chan!' Yuki whispered. Hotaru managed to get loose of
rlm@2: her friends hug and scurried away towards the door. 'I'm so sorry
rlm@2: Yuki-chan! I got you dirty to!' the girl whispered before running out
rlm@2: of the room. 'Hotaru-chan!' Yuki called out, before running after her
rlm@2: friend.
rlm@2: 
rlm@2: She sat crying under the king penguin slide. 'She's just like me
rlm@2: now!' she thought sadly. 'I made her dirty!' That made her cry
rlm@2: harder. 'Hi!' a soft voice said. Looking up she saw a pale woman
rlm@2: kneeling near her. 'It's her mama!' Hotaru thought. The pale woman
rlm@2: smiled at slowly sat near the young blue haired girl. Tomoyo had just
rlm@2: arrived home when Hotaru had bumped into her when she ran out of her
rlm@2: home. 'Yuki-chan told me why you ran away!' Tomoyo whispered. 'I ran
rlm@2: because I'm dirty!' Hotaru whispered. Slowly Tomoyo scooted closer.
rlm@2: 'Why do you think that?'
rlm@2: 'Because my papa is dirty!' Hotaru whispered, 'He hurt my mama!' The
rlm@2: pale woman smiled sadly at the young girl. 'I don't think you're
rlm@2: dirty Hotaru-chan!' Tomoyo whispered. Hotaru looked up sharply, her
rlm@2: eyes, red from crying, met Tomoyo's. 'You don't?' Tomoyo shook her
rlm@2: head. 'And I know Yuki and Sakura doesn't think you're dirty.' Tomoyo
rlm@2: paused and caught her breath, 'And your parents have never thought
rlm@2: you are dirty!' Hotaru shuddered as she tried to stop crying. 'Hotaru-
rlm@2: chan?' another voice said. 'Mama?' Hotaru asked, looking up at her
rlm@2: mother kneeling near Tomoyo. The blue haired woman smiled as her
rlm@2: daughter scooted closer to her. Carefully she whipped the girls tears
rlm@2: away. 'I'm sorry mama!' the girl whispered, hugging Miyuki. 'What for
rlm@2: Hotaru-chan?' Miyuki asked. 'For running away!' the girl whispered,
rlm@2: crying into her mothers chest. Carefully Miyuki wrapped her arms
rlm@2: around the young girl. She had been told why Hotaru had ran off. 'How
rlm@2: long has she felt this way?' she asked herself. Gently she kissed the
rlm@2: top of her daughters head. 'I'm sorry Hotaru!' Miyuki whispered. The
rlm@2: girl looked up at her mother, their eyes meeting. 'Why mama?' the
rlm@2: girl asked, whipping her eyes. Miyuki smiled at the girl rubbing her
rlm@2: own eyes. 'I'm sorry because I didn't make you feel better when I
rlm@2: should have.' Miyuki whispered. Slowly the girl hugged her mother
rlm@2: again. Slowly Tomoyo left the two alone, not wanting to interupt what
rlm@2: was going on. She sighed softly as she sat on one of the swings. 'Is
rlm@2: everything alright now?' a soft voice asked. Looking to her left she
rlm@2: saw Yuki and Sakura, Sakura holding a wrapped up Mihoshi, standing
rlm@2: near her. They smiled as they watched Hotaru and her parents leave,
rlm@2: knowing things would be alright.
