Chapter 1 – Lady in Violet

"O wind, become a chain of admonition. Windy!" The young magic school girl chanted as she twirled her pink wind in many revolutions in different angles. After spinning her hand, she held her wand high above her and then brought the wand down to collide with the magical card floating in front of her. As the wand made contact with the card, visible strings of magic poured up from the card and merged into a spirit lady with her body indicating her element.

Displaying on a giant screen film, the magic girl had summoned a wind spirit. The spirit held her arms forward and called forth tangible ropes purely made of concentrated air. The ropes flew forward and wrapped around a black hooded spirit tightly to make sure that the spirit won't escape. Facing the giant screen was a teenage girl, Tomoyo, sitting on top of an expensive looking sofa. The girl was beautiful enough to be a model with her face and elegance of a proper lady. She had long onyx-colored hair, slightly wavy, that dropped all the way into a small bundle on top of the sofa pillow, showing that hair length goes beyond her waist. She was staring at the film with pure violet eyes that shone exotically due to the light of the movie screen. A tiny smile was plastered on her face, showing that Tomoyo was enjoying the movie with great hidden pleasure.

Tomoyo's smile quickly turned into gasp and she moved her hand slowly above her chest. She, then, clenched her shirt tightly as the climax of the movie was inching closer with each second. She absorbed the dramatic background music and the overwhelming bright colors of the movie while she watched the magic girl prepared herself to finish the hooded spirit off.

Her heart started accelerating as Tomoyo couldn't held herself calm enough to remain still for what was about to happen next.

"Return to thy form which thou should be! Clow Card!" The magic girl gripped her wand with two hands and suddenly, the trapped hooded spirit was drained along with the wind spirit toward the girl. The two spirits became black and yellow energies that swirled together and then…

"My lady, breakfast is ready." A woman's voice shattered all the building excitement that gathered in Tomoyo's heart. The maid had opened the door, allowing the bright lamp light to break the comfortable darkness of the movie watching atmosphere.

Her excited heart slowly returned back to normal.

Tomoyo took a deep breathe and sighed with a hint of disappointment but it was expected since it was nearly time for high school. She needed her food to gain enough energy to record her best friend, Sakura, all day. She replied, "I'll be right there." She didn't need to look back since she already knew the maid herself.

The maid bowed politely and responded, "Yes, my lady," She slowly closed the door, making sure not to make any more noises.

Tomoyo picked up the remote control by her side and she took one last gaze at Sakura, who smiled as she held the card in her hand. Tomoyo smiled back because she would always be happy as long as Sakura was happy. She pressed the power button on her remote control and the movie was screen black. When the movie stopped playing, the lights quickly came back on, revealing Tomoyo completely in her high school uniform. She stood up and gently put the remote control down. She walked toward the door and twisted the knob slowly enough to leave the door ajar. Tomoyo took one last look at her own private movie room.

'The excitement wasn't the same.'

She closed the door, leaving the dark movie room alone.

Tomoyo was sitting on her chair, eating her simple Japanese breakfast of grilled fish, miso soup, and random things that were necessary. She was eating across the dining table from her mother, Sonomi, who was reading the business section of the daily newspaper. Tomoyo was used to this peaceful silence since she knew very well that her mother tended to be very busy sometimes.

However, today was different. Sonomi closed her newspaper and she looked at Tomoyo before she went back to her breakfast, "Have you slept well?" She started a conversation.

Tomoyo glanced up and she smiled slightly, "Yes, mother, I slept quite pleasantly today."

"That's good to know. I heard that you woke up early and watch movies." Sonomi mentioned.

"I was reliving a childhood memories of my friends." Tomoyo answered.

"It's good to look back at the past and remember how much fun you had back then," Sonomi narrowed her eyes with concerns expressed in her pupils, "But I'm worried that if you're not getting enough sleep. After all, you just recently entered high school. It won't be easy as junior high."

"Don't worry, mother." Tomoyo smiled to reassure her mother, "I rested very well. I was just watching old movies because an old friend came back from China. I just felt like remembering the times we hang out together."

Sonomi sighed but she smiled back slightly, "Alright. I guess I worry for nothing then," She pointed out, "However, I should tell you that I'm going on a business trip tonight and I won't probably be back for few weeks."

Tomoyo nodded, "Hai, don't worry about me, mother. I'm a teenager now, I can take of myself plus there are so many bodyguards and maids here, so I won't be really lonely."

Sonomi chuckled, "True but you can always call me if you're feeling lonely. You can even invite Sakura to sleepover, if you want to."

"That's a good idea, mother." Tomoyo smiled and then she noticed the clock, "I should be going to school now." She stood up and walked over to her mother. She gave Sonomi a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Have a good trip."

"Thank you, Tomoyo. Take care and do well in school." Sonomi said.

Tomoyo replied, "Hai." She walked toward the entrance door, where the maid had opened it as soon as the maid saw her lady. Before Tomoyo left the mansion, the maids bowed to her presence out of curtsy. She went to the front gate where a sleek limo was already waiting for her. The female bodyguard opened the car door and bowed as Tomoyo entered it. The limo drove away from the Daidouji mansion but not all the way to school due to Tomoyo's request. The limo drove halfway to school and there, Tomoyo get off and enjoyed her morning meeting with Sakura every school morning. Tomoyo motioned the limo to leave and then she looked back at the road, waiting for her best friend. She clenched her school bag tightly and inside was an electronic tool that Tomoyo can not bear to be away from it. She closed her eyes and she could remember strongly of all the adventures she shared with Sakura together three years ago. Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard a voice that Tomoyo instantly recognize. She opened her violet eyes and saw a girl with short auburn colored hair and shining emerald eyes chatting happily with a boy with short brown messy hair and clear amber eyes. They were a sight to behold because they were the greatest couple in Tomoyo's eyes. She always had a slight thrill through her body every time she sees them together. Tomoyo was truly happy that Sakura and Syaoran finally admit their love to each other.

Tomoyo grabbed her hand camera out of her school bag and started recording the couple. It was truly a beautiful sight, an ideal couple walking down the cherry blossom covered road right under the rows of cherry blossom trees with petals falling and the wind blowing. Tomoyo had a faint blush spread across her cheeks as she watched them. It was such shame that she didn't seem them confesses to each other but she could imagine it. She closed her eyes and imagined Syaoran confessing to Sakura right after school, right after the final incident with Eriol. Then Sakura, who was confused at first, finally understood the meaning of love right before Syaoran returned to Hong Kong. Tomoyo heard the details of how Sakura ran at the airport, hoping to meet Syaoran before he leaves. Then at the final moment, Sakura had caught up with Syaoran and handed him her teddy bear just right before he left. How dramatic that was, Tomoyo was thinking as she swooned to herself.

"Tomoyo-chan?" A recognizable voice brought Tomoyo back to reality from her dream. Sakura was staring at Tomoyo through her camera.

Tomoyo greeted, "Hello, Sakura-chan!" she explained, "I was recording your romantic walk under the cherry blossoms."

Sakura was taken back by her friend's eccentric's hobby, "Hoe, Tomoyo-chan…." Her cheeks were bright red and she spluttered, "We were just talking with each other. It wasn't anything like that!"

"Jeeze, Daidouji, you really need to pick another hobby." Syaoran said annoyingly but not because of Tomoyo's recording but because his delightful romantic moment was interrupted.

Tomoyo smirked as she knew why Syaoran was perturbed, "Well I would never! Recording Sakura-chan in all her glory is always a passion of mine!" She laughed, "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

Syaoran sighed disappointedly, knowing fully well that he can not stop Tomoyo from doing what she wants. Sakura still laughed nervously even though she knew Tomoyo for many years, she was still taken back from Tomoyo's love of recording Sakura.

Tomoyo grinned, "Oh Sakura-chan! We should make another movie with the Create Card. It's been far too long since we made one!" She suggested with stars shining bright on her pupils.

"Tomoyo-chan…" Sakura said her name but Tomoyo was off in her own dreamland. She sighed, knowing like Syaoran, that she cannot stop her best friend.

'It's been three years.'

All three friends went to the same high school. Even their classmates and friends were the same through elementary and junior high. Even the homeroom teacher was the same teacher from elementary and junior high. Tomoyo already knew that the teacher wanted to be with a certain girl. She found their relationship cute just like the relationship shared between the lair and his bossy childhood friend. Everything was the same as before except one thing. There were no more Clow Cards running amok. There were no more weird incidents that required Card Captor Sakura to help. All the Clow Cards were changed into Sakura Cards. All the magical related incidents were resolved three years ago. For three years since they were in their first year of junior high, nothing strange had happened. Tomoyo and Sakura and their classmates studied hard to pass the high school entrance exam. Soon afterward, Syaoran came back from Hong Kong and attended the same school as the others. Tomoyo heard from Sakura that she met Syaoran waiting outside the school dressed in his uniform, holding the teddy bear within his arm.

"Ah," Tomoyo sighed blissfully as she could imagine it, "So romantic." She imagined their fateful meeting that turned into a warm embrace as the very last manga page of the very last volume of a popular shojo comic. She slowly opened her violet eyes and thought, 'Lot of people have relationships…it make me felt a little bit jealous.' She looked out the window and saw her friends, Sakura and Syaoran, chatting like lovers. Tomoyo smiled and touched her own chest, feeling her heart beating slightly, 'As long as Sakura-chan is happy, then I'm happy too.'

'My heart is not racing anymore.'

Tomoyo was sitting on her desk chair, staring at papers on her desk. She frowned slightly as she was pondering deeply. Her face was telling everyone that she was actually having a hard time.

"Penny for your thoughts, Daidouji?" A gentle voice caught Tomoyo's attention away from the papers. Tomoyo moved her head upward, noticing a handsome boy with smooth midnight blue hair and sleek glasses.

Tomoyo's thinking expression changed back to a smile, "Hiiragisawa-san, such an honor for you to visit me alone. Shouldn't you be bothering your cute little descendent?"

Eriol replied with a chuckle, "True, I would have but I didn't want to bother Sakura."

"Being a gentleman as usual, of course." Tomoyo closed her eyes knowingly, "Sakura-chan is truly happy with him. Li is a good person. I know he'll take a good care of her."

Eriol smiled slightly and his blue eyes were saying that he agreed with her, "He is my descendant but never mind about him," He looked at Tomoyo, "Is something wrong? You seemed troubled."

Tomoyo responded with a chuckle, "Nothing's wrong. I was just actually having a hard time deciding what to join." She held three applications papers, "Should I join film club?" Since Tomoyo loved filming Sakura and due to her experiences of being involved with Sakura's adventures, she was able to become a professional, "Or maybe a fashion club?" In the past, Tomoyo had designed many colorful and cute (Tomoyo's opinion) outfits for Sakura, "or finally, a choir." Tomoyo had a beautiful clear voice that earned her many credits in school. Tomoyo sighed as she couldn't make her choice, "Sakura-chan already joined the cheerleaders and Li-kun got himself involved with sports." Tomoyo piqued, "What club do you join?"

"The book club." Eriol replied.

Tomoyo giggled, "That does suit you, Hiiragisawa-san."

Eriol chuckled back, "Yes, that's true." He stopped laughing and inched his face closer toward Tomoyo, "If you still have trouble deciding, then just look inside your heart and you'll see what you truly want."

Tomoyo was slightly surprised but her expression quickly changed back into a small smile she always had, "That's a good advice, Hiiragisawa-san."

'I want to go back to those days.'

"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo waved her hand to grab Sakura's attention. The school was finally over for the day and students were doing club activities or heading back home.

"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura ran up to Tomoyo as soon as she saw her raven-haired friend, "I was about to leave for cheerleading practice."

"I know that. I just want to ask Sakura-chan if she wants to sleep over at my house after practice. You could bring Kero-chan if you want and we can watch all the old movies of Card Captor Sakura!" Tomoyo squealed as she said her heroic name.

"Hoe, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura chuckled nervously at her friend's reaction but she looked down, "But….actually….."

"Hmm?" Tomoyo was curious.

Sakura became face red as she played with her fingers, feeling very embarrassed. Tomoyo, of course, read her best friend's reaction and smiled, "A date with Li-kun, huh?"

Sakura became even redder and she nodded slowly, "Hai………," Sakura looked up, "Tomoyo-chan?!"

Tomoyo was recording Sakura, "Sakura-chan was so kawaii just now!" Her eyes became starry, "Sakura-chan is going out on a date with Li-kun! How so adorable!"

Sakura blushed, "Tomoyo-chan…"

Tomoyo chuckled, "Don't worry, I understand and…I won't try to record you on your date…maybe."

Sakura sweat-dropped, "Tomoyo-chan…."

"Just kidding, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo smiled and she clasped Sakura's hands, "But you must tell me all the details tomorrow!"

Sakura smiled and she nodded, "Hai!"

Tomoyo waved bye to Sakura as she watched her friend ran off to her cheerleading practice. As soon as Sakura was out of her eyesight, Tomoyo dropped her arm slowly and her smile slowly turned upside down.

'It's not possible. It can only be in memories.'

The Daidouji mansion was nearly empty although it was not really empty since the building was filled with maids and bodyguards. But the mansion felt empty to Tomoyo since she's alone inside and her mother was gone on a business trip again. She felt bored and she already done her homework like any good student would do. She had watched the Card Captor Sakura so many times that she could beat any CCS freak's number of times of watching the anime. Tomoyo sighed for umpteenth times today. She frowned, knowing that she was deathly bored and the magical adventures were already over long time ago. Tomoyo looked out the window of her mansion and stared at the night sky, "………..maybe I should go take a walk, that'll help me." Although, it's very dangerous to walk alone at night but Tomoyo had done it so many times to record Sakura. Tomoyo was an expert on stealth. She knew when and where to hide to make sure she could get good camera shots of Sakura without anyone noticing her.

'I want to feel the excitement again.'

Tomoyo ordered the bodyguards to stay behind and she left the mansion alone in proper attire. Tomoyo didn't even bother to bring her partner, her hand camera with her. She knew that nothing exciting would happen like before. She also doesn't want to spy on Sakura and Syaoran's date since she knew it would be rude even though watching over them would be very cute. But Tomoyo had made a promise to Sakura to stay out of it tonight. Plus, Tomoyo was sure that Syaoran's sharp sense that was refined over the years could sense her presence right away if Tomoyo decided to record.

'I want to feel my heart racing again.'

Tomoyo was walking around the neighbor aimlessly. What could she do? Tomoyo had asked herself that question many times. The adventures were over three years ago. It all ended with the Void Card being changed into the Hope Card. What could she do? She had no answer. All she thought of before was how cute Sakura was and how she was so excited to record Sakura in her brilliance. Her heart raced every time Tomoyo recorded Sakura did something extraordinary. However, her heart didn't accelerate again. Even though she had many movies of Card Captor Sakura, the excitement was not the same. Tomoyo looked down feeling slight guilty that she was thinking of such things since she knew Sakura had gone through many dangers.

'I want to go back to those days again.'

A soft melody.

Tomoyo suddenly looked up as she heard something, "A guitar?"

She recognized the melody from a familiar instrument. She closed her eyes and just heard. Tomoyo could tell the playing was rough but there was a certain charm beneath the rough exterior. There was a pure sound hidden underneath that sounded so alluring and yet haunting at the same time. It sounded so peaceful yet so thrilling. It was a powerful melody that danced inside Tomoyo's ears. She opened her violet eyes and headed toward that music, that attractive sound that caught the maiden's ears. She walked through the road tunnel under the road bridge and without interruptions of cars, small animals, and the voices of the city, she could hear the music so clearly. She stepped out of the tunnel and faced the bright moon. The melody was clearer and she could hear it strongly behind her. She quickly turned around…

'I want to see Sakura agai…'

As she turned around, she saw a man, a very handsome man sitting on the handrail of the bridge, playing his electric guitar. A man with wild black hair sticking out in many directions with few strands dangling in front of his forehead. A man with thick sleek black eyebrows directly above his closed eyes. A man with a face of a loner. Then the music stopped abruptly with a dramatic end.

'My heart……is racing again.'

Violet eyes met crimson eyes.
