Hello! Here's Tick and Tock with our first production – If You Could See Me Now.
Summary – Control. Precision. Everything in Sakura Kinomoto's life was described with these two words. She hid away from everything, afraid of love, afraid of changes. She wanted to avoid past pains from resurfacing. That was, until he came. SxS
Disclaimer – We don't own Cardcaptor Sakura! (But I'm sure Tock would want to)
Prologue
There was never a flicker of recognition in Tomoyo's eyes when she looked at Eriol. There was no bond, no connection between the mother and son. It startled Sakura and she assumed maybe it was because they never knew who the father was. Maybe that unknown fact has driven Tomoyo out of Tomodea, out of Sakura's life.
Granted, Sakura promised herself never to have children. She had raised herself, and her sister; she had no desire to raise anyone else. After slaving away at school and college, Sakura had been successful in setting up her own interior design business. She had reached her goal by being realistic, by being in control. She told herself she was living in the world and not a dream, above all, not to follow her mother's and sister's examples. They taught her she would not get anywhere with wistful dreams.
So taken by her beliefs, her hair was always in a tight bun, with no stray strands, her emerald eyes held nothing but facts and she was always dressed in deep, mature colours.
Despite all this, no one was capable of taking care of Eriol, so Sakura found her thirty-four years self living alone with a six-year-old child in a haven she had created herself. It was a place you could feel safe and alone because love was a feeling she could not control. She had loved, had been loved. But those who loved often came and went. After Tomoyo ran away, she vowed to be always in control of her feelings.
Ja ne!
