L.W.: Other fic from me. Here's a lighter story of Sakura. The story is base from the classical tale written by Jean Webster titled "Daddy long- legs". I read the story and it really touched my heart. I hope you like this one.

Sugar Daddy; Chapter one: the opportunity

Sakura Kinomoto, an 18-year-old girl and promising youth whose dreams are suspended due to financial crisis. She is living with her brother in a small house in Tomoeda.

At the early age of 12, she had lost her father because of the accident happened during the excavation in Egypt. This forced Touya, her brother, to stop schooling and work to provide their needs.

Yet, even she is on a rough road she is still optimistic that someday she and her brother will see the sun rises at the horizon.



It is already five o'clock in the afternoon; all the students are preparing their things to go home.

"Sakura, let's eat in the ice cream parlor." Chiharu said to her.

"Sure!" She excitedly replied. However, when she looked at her coin purse not even a penny she has. She sadly sighed and thought of any lie. She hid her coin purse. "Sorry guys. I forgot that it's my turn to cook." She said then left the room.

****

"I'm home." She lamely announced.

"Hey, ogre. I have a surprise for you!" Her brother excitedly said. However, when Sakura heard the word ogre instead of feeling surprised she shouted with anger at her brother, "I'M NOT AN OGRE!!!!!"

Her brother didn't mind the angry look of her instead Touya lay a brown envelope on the dinning table in front of her. Sakura wondered, "What's this?"

"Checked it to find out." Sakura reached out the envelope and opened. "Oniichan!"

Her brother only nodded. "The president of the company agreed to sponsor your college education. Sakura, this is means YOU CAN GO TO COLLEGE!" Touya happily said.

They both hugged due to the excitement that they are feeling. "You can go to the best school. The company will provide it! I'm sure Dad and Mom are happy right now." He continued.

Until now, Sakura still couldn't believe the great opportunity she has. "I want to thank personally the CEO. Can you come with me?" Touya nodded.

*****

Touya Kinomoto set an appointment to meet the CEO. It was one week after. Sakura wore her best dress to meet her benefactor. She also bought something to serve as her token of appreciation.

At the office, Sakura and Touya waited for 30 minutes until a woman of her early thirties came out of the office to call them. The two followed the woman inside. "You may sit down." The woman said and they sit down.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Atty. Kaho Mizuki, the CEO's legal adviser." She said.

"I am Sakura Kinomoto and this is my brother, Touya Kinomoto (he is in trance because of Kaho's beauty). We are here to meet my sponsor…" Atty. Mizuki only looked at her and admiration.

"I am sorry Ms. Kinomoto but he cannot meet you…" Kaho responded. Sakura was shocked. She thought she could be able to see her benefactor.

"But why?" She asked. Atty. Mizuki stood up and turned her back at Sakura. "Let say, its non of your business. He's only interest is to help you. He doesn't care of seeing you." Sakura is disappoint but she feels that she has too, "But…"

"Ms. Kinomoto, my client already agreed to sponsor your education, what more do ask?" She cut Sakura.

"Well, at least I know the person who helped me."

"There's no need to. Okay, to satisfy you, he doesn't want you to look and think of him because you owe him your education, that's why he wanted to remain anonymous …" Kaho saw contentment in Sakura's face. "But, you have to do something in return…" she continued.

"Anything! But those things that I can do only." She answered. Kaho laughed.

"It won't be that hard actually. Anyway, he wants you to write everything that is happening at school. He is not interested in your academic status but you also have to report to him those. Where was I? Oh, he wants you to write everything- whom your dealing with, the apartment where you'll be staying, and etc, just like an ordinary letter that you are sending to your love one. The dorm and allowance won't be a problem. He will provide those for you. Don't worry about the debt because his doesn't oblige you to pay him. Lastly, you will call him in the name of 'Clow Reed'. Do I make myself clear? Oh before I forget, this will be your key for the apartment that you'll be staying." She gave the cute key (it is her key, the one with star) to Sakura.

Sakura doesn't know what to say. The only thing she done was to nodded at everything Kaho said to her. Finally, Touya got back to his senses, "You mean she will not study here in Tomoeda?" he asked.

Kaho nodded. This made Touya sad, she's the only family she have now she will be leaving soon. "… and where?"

"At Tokyo University… Mr. 'Reed' thought that it is the best university, knowing that only intelligent people passes it's entrance exam." (If it's not true, I'm sorry, this is only a make believe story…)" Touya looked at Sakura with wary eyes. He is not ready to let go of his little angel but he has to.

"When will she go to her dorm?" Touya asked another question.

"In September. This is the address." She gave a piece of paper to Sakura.

"Thank you very much. Please tell Mr. Um—'Clow Reed' thank you."

If you don't have any questions to ask, please excuse me. I have some work to tend with."

Sakura and Touya left the office. "I'm happy for you." Touya said while they are walking.

"Oniichan, of all the names why did he chose 'Clow Reed'? it's so peculiar." She laughed. Touya poked her on the head. "Don't ask, after all it not his real name… Damn!" Touya exclaimed. Sakura was shocked.

"What's wrong?" She said worriedly.

"I forgot to asked her address." Touya said it with full of regrets.

Afterwards, they went apart. Touya has works to do and Sakura have to fix her things.



1 HER LETTER TO 'CLOW REED'

September 1

Dear Mr. Um—Reed,

Can I ask you something? Anyway, as if you can reject because I am writing this now, why did you want to me to address you in the name of Clow Reed? I'm sorry if that is a rude question but I can't help it! There are lots of wonderful names like Edward, Henry, or Erick, if not Christopher Reed, at least it's not weird as Clow Reed, right? It sounds like a name of a magician not a businessman.

Since your 'code' name is so queer I decided to call you Sugar Daddy! I know! It's sounds so negative BUT for me its not because you are so sweet and thoughtful and kind and generous to help a helpless girl like me. You are as sweet as sugar.

Anyway, I just transferred here in the dorm. It is very beautiful. The place is well furnished. Don't worry I will take care of it until I set my foot out of this place. However, there is one problem , the housekeeper is so annoying. Well, I'm exaggerating. She is lifeless. I shouldn't complain since you are the one who is paying my bills but its not you that is dealing with her but me.

Lets aside that. My brother and his friend Yukito helped me in bring my things. When we finished everything, Oniichan cried! Couldn't you believe that? I never saw my brother crying until now. Aside from that, he hugged me so tightly that I almost die! Yukito laughed at us and teased my brother for being a cry baby but I can't blame him because he is my only family Don't worry, even we haven't met I already treat you as my second father. Anyway, I want to have an idea of you- what's your look like, how tall are you, how old are you, so that I'm not guessing. I might imagine you as somebody you are not.

It's already 9:00 pm; I guess I'm sleepy. I will end my first letter here. Good night sweet daddy.

Yours truly,

Sakura Kinomoto

















L.W: What a kind person sugar daddy is! But don't you think Sakura has the right to know who is her benefactor? I think she has the right but 'Clow Reed' has his own reasons why. Thank you for reading my story. Next chapter is where I will introduce Tomoyo and Meilin. Couldn't you believe that Tomoyo and Meilin are best of friends even they are opposite of what they are
