Chapter 2: Meet the Mainsies
Tomoyo's POV
The next day, Sakura and I were in our rooms. I slumped in my bed and thought of mom sadly. I hope she'll be safe until her arrival. Then, I looked at the calendar.
Today is September 12. At least we won't wait for so much long.
Then I heard my bedroom door creaked open. It was Sakura. She was smiling. Her smile reached her emerald green eyes.
"Hi Tomoyo-chan!" she greeted.
I looked at her. "What's with the happy face?" I said glumly.
"Chiharu and Naoko will come!" she answered. "Even Rika and her niece will come too."
This cheered me up a bit.
"Let's prepare a little snack for them," I suggested. "How about cookies? You can bake them all by yourself."
"Hey, that's unfair of you!" Sakura said. I chuckled.
"Nah! Just joking. But you'll bake the cookies while I prepare the snack in the garden."
"Wow, that sounds great!" Sakura agreed. "They'll arrive here at around eight o' clock."
Sakura's POV
I started baking the cookies while Tomoyo was out in the garden preparing the setting.
While the cookies were being baked in the oven, I listened to the radio. I was singing with it until all of a sudden, my mind drifted off for a moment. Then I heard a strange voice in my mind…
"Save her! Save her! I can see what's happening…This should not be…he's coming back…No, I'm hallucinating…No!"
I jolted back to my senses and snapped my eyes open.
I was fully aware of what I've just heard. Who the hell was that? And what did that mean?
...Meanwhile…
Kaho's POV
"I have warned Sakura already," I said to Yue, who was sitting beside me. We were facing an old crystal ball in front of us.
"I'm glad you did," he replied.
"So you were the ones who gave her and Tomoyo their powers?" I asked.
Yue nodded. "It's just the right thing for me to do. I have given them all my powers, and I am willing to do that for them. They need to protect themselves in times of need, especially…" He continued. "Now that he has come back to kill the powerful ones…mentioning Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Eriol. I hope they'll use their powers wisely because if they don't, it will result to the rise of this dark power."
"What's that and who were the boy's you've just mentioned?" I asked him curiously.
"And that you'll know in the crystal ball," said Yue. "Just touch it with a twirl of your wand and those boys will appear automatically. I have to go now, I don't like to see that ball showing me the boys' bickering. They sound a lot like ducks to me."
...On the other hand…
Syaoran's POV
"I told you, we need at least just two more maids, alright?" I said furiously to Eriol, who was sitting quietly on the couch.
Eriol looked at me as though I'm a madman.
"What? Are you crazy?" he pretended to look puzzled. "There's Nakuru and Spinnel Sun."
"But I want two more, at least!" I insisted.
"No," he said firmly as he opened a book to read. "They'll just be riffraffs running around the house. Now, calm down…"
"If you'll get me a maid!" I interrupted.
What I really wanted is to have my own personal maid. I calmed down as I thought of that until…
"Trying to get your personal maid, Syaoran?" Eriol said shrewdly.
My fists clenched and raised. Eriol grinned like a Cheshire cat just like he always used to.
"Can't you do nothing else but that?" he smiled. "Can you please change it? I'm getting somewhat bored by that action of yours. Maybe you can add a bit of flavor to it." His voice was filled with sarcasm.
"When will you stop that joke of yours, eh?" I yelled, pointing a threatening finger at him. "When will you learn?"
"Stop that, freako," he laughed quietly. He remained calm. Nuts! I want to beat him when it comes to these kind of things.
Eriol's POV
To admit it, Syaoran is the most peculiar 18-year old guy I've ever known.
"Master!" cried a voice. It was Nakuru. She was frowning.
"What's gotten into you, Nakuru-san?" Syaoran stood up.
Nakuru breathed deeply. "Suppi-chan ate all the cakes."
"Thnat's no problem," Syaoran raised his eyebrows. "You can make your own cake with a little help from your magic powers…"
"Good idea!" Nakuru beamed. Then she rushed back into the kitchen, jumping.
"Rabbits," I muttered soundlessly.
"I'm going to bed," Syaoran yawned. "You better got o bed too." Then I saw him smile wickedly. I'm sure he has a plan about that maid-riffraff thing. Then I went to my room.
Back to…
Sakura's POV
Ding Dong!
I brought out the cookies from the oven. Then I saw Tomoyo approaching me.
"You go ahead and open the door," she said hastily. I nodded. Then she continued, "I'll be using a bit of my powers."
I left Tomoyo in the kitchen and went straight to the palace doors. I opened it and saw three 18-year old girls and a 7-year old girl holding Rika's hand.
"Her name's Jin Yi Mei." Said Chiharu. "Just call her Mei."
"Hello Mei!" I waved my hand to the little girl.
"Hi." Mei said timidly.
"She's so cute," I gushed. "Um, well, come in. Let's go to the garden."
"Hi Chiharu, Naoko, Rika!" greeted a cheery voice. It was Tomoyo.
We all sat down in the grass and breathed the cool air. Then we ate and talked happily.
"How are you and Yamazaki-kun?" Tomoyo asked Chiharu. We went into a fit of giggles.
"About 2 years already." Chiharu replied.
"That's nice!" Naoko said. "You haven't mentioned that to me when I asked you."
"They're getting along very well." Rika laughed. "No more bickering, no more fighting."
"How about you Sakura? Tomoyo?" Chiharu asked. "Not interested in lovelife?"
"No." Tomoyo said firmly. She ate a cookie.
"We don't care about the suitors." I said. "We completely ignore them." Tomoyo laughed and then she shrugged.
"They deserve it."
Tomoyo's POV
We talked for almost seven hours. It was 3:59 in the afternoon.
"Thanks for coming!" said Sakura. We waved our hands to them.
"Bye!"
As soon as they were gone, I told Sakura, "I can feel an aura…someone…This is strange…" a rather cold wind blew.
"Oh!" Sakura placed her hands on her mouth in horror. "I almost forgot to tell you…"
She told me the story of what happened to her in the kitchen this morning.
"Did the voice told you who's back?" I asked her. She shook her head violently.
"This isn't good."
