Title: A Heart's glance

Summary: What if you could see the future five days before it happens but there's a glitch. You could only see the soul mate of a person. Talk about luck right? Not. I always refuse to see my counterpart would be, afraid to be obsessed and drive myself crazy looking for him. But when I accidentally take a peek…. Damn, he's everything I've dreamed of, but when I finally met him… a happily ever after? How could it be when he was my mom's fiancé and will be my stepfather in three weeks?

Chapter 1: Vision

I can't wait to see mom again. It's been what? Five years since I left town to pursue my dream. I'm now not just a girl who has nothing but a crappy talent of seeing visions of a person's love life. Lucky? NOT! I never truly acknowledge this gift in fear of its consequences and the feelings that comes with it: disappointment, obsession, paranoia.

Umm.. Maybe on some special cases… Hmmm… wonder how they're doing?

Wait I'm losing focus again... Damn!

Anyway, my weird visions only identify the person's soul mate. And that's it my crappy gift, not knowing when they will meet, where or how, they just somewhat always end up together in the end. I don't even believe in that crap. C'mon, happily ever after? Sheesh... whatever...

I never dared to look into mine but something unexpected happen. I received a phone call concerning my mom about her and some stranger that led me to see her future and accidentally glance at mine.'

FLASHBACK:

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Hello. Tomoyo Daidouji residence, I'm not home at the moment. Kindly leave a message after the beep."

BEEEP

"Tomoyo, honey, I'm getting married in TWO MONTHS! I can't wait to talk to you and give you the details. Please come home. I am hoping you could help me with the wedding preparations and maybe even design my wedding dress for me. The wedding will take place at…

BEEEP

"End of message. You have zero new messages. Goodbye!"

"NANI?!"

I hastily pushed some buttons on my phone to check the date of the call.

I-I It was a month ago. Three days after I left for a fashion show in Rome, which means I only have a month left to break that stupid wedding. Damn!

After receiving that message, I grab my mom's picture stare at it as long as I have to, to force myself to have a vision.

"Please just please…." I silently prayed.

And I did, I can't believe how happy she is but the guy's face is somewhat blurry yet familiar. But still I have to know this guy. I can't let my mom's future be threatened by some lowlife gold-digger.

As I try to close my vision, I saw another stranger with…

"ME?! SHIT!"

Unfortunately, my worst nightmare just happened. I saw a glimpse of my husband.

END FLASHBACK

I'm still having goose bumps from that memory. Trying to shrug it off, I longingly gaze at the setting sun until…

"Ladies and gentlemen, we would be arriving at Tomodea airport in ten minutes. Thank you for choosing Japan Airlines. We hope you enjoy your travel with us."

Guess here it goes.

"Flight JL 482 from Paris would be arriving in five minutes at terminal 6. I repeat. Flight JL 482 from Paris would be arriving in five minutes at terminal 6. Thank you."

"Come on Syaoran, faster. We might loose her." A frantic girl in her early twenties drags her bewildered companion to the said terminal.

"But Sakura are you sure it's not a fluke prophecy? You might be just played by your brother again. Remember the time…"

"But Syao, I don't think he's playing with me, you haven't seen his face. He even sounds serious, it's creeping me out. There must be really something wrong… what if…"

Syaoran rubs her shoulders and hugs her.

"Relax, maybe she just…" Syaoran fussily scratch his nape as he tries to come up with a pathetic guess.

"She just what?"

"Sa-Sakura? Syaoran? How?" The 25 yr old designer threw confusing looks at her two best friends.

"Tomoyo!" she was squished by two welcoming arms of her hyper cousin.

"Touya said you'll be here tonight. He sensed something was wrong but not sure what it is. It sucks that you two could see something in the future and I can't. Humph!" Sakura whined.

Tomoyo giggles at her cousin's antics but was stop by Syaoran's seriousness.

"So, Tomoyo daijobu?" inquired by a worried Syaoran.

"I… I…"

"Do you really plan of not telling us this surprise visit?" Syaoran pressed on.

"Tom you know you could tell us anything right?" Sakura caress her cousin's back trying to soothe her.

Tomoyo lowered her head and fidgets with her fingers. Suddenly felt embarrass and somewhat unsure with her rash actions.

"My.. my mom's getting married."

"That damn gaki..." Syaoran whispered under his breath. Unfortunately, Tomyo heard it.

"Ga-gaki? He's a gaki?"

Tomoyo almost fainted with the revelation, trying to hold on to Sakura for dear life.

"No, Tom. I swear Li Syaoran you become more and more like my brother. And you swore you hate him." Sakura playfully teased him, making Syaoran squirmed.

"Tomoyo, he's not a gaki. He's a gentleman and makes Auntie Sonomi very happy. You should've seen it for yourself."

'Believe me I already did, but there's this uneasy feeling I'm getting from it.' Tomoyo silently replied. She just nodded as Sakura continues to convince her, still pondering about Syaoran's obvious hatred with the guy.

"Come on, let's grab something to eat before we drive you home."

After dinner, the couple drove Tomoyo to a hotel insisting that she shouldn't bother them or her mother. Tomoyo thanked them and gets off the car. As she came near to the door, she turns around and approached them again.

"Umm… could you guys, help me find an apartment tomorrow?"

"But aren't you … coming home?" Sakura worriedly asked.

"I … I don't think I could live under the same roof with a stranger."

Syaoran murmured something that earned a playful slap in the arm. Whatever it is Tomoyo was glad she didn't catch it, guessing it's about her mom's so-called fiancé.

"Then stay with us." Sakura beamed.

"No, I do appreciate it but I need some time alone to think about some stuff."

The couple just nodded in defeat and understanding.

"Then we'll pick you up tomorrow at 8 am so we could have breakfast together. Is that ok?" Syaoran asked.

"Yeah, see you."

A swirl of emotions engulfs me uncontrollably. Did I make the right choice? Could I ever face them? Will things work out?

I lie on my bed pondering about my work, my projects, upcoming shows that I abruptly left behind.

How more irresponsible could I get? Damn, I even forgot my photo shoot for tomorrow.

"What time is it? I need to make a call."
