Eight Years Later: Chapter Two
After school the next day, Sakura made her way to Yukito's house. She was so nervous but she really wanted to do this. Kero suggested that she just call him but she really wanted to prove to Kero that she can do this herself. Plus she wanted to invite Yukito to her graduation and to her prom. Secretly she has a gut feeling that he will say no, again, but ever since that day when she told him that she loves him, she firmly believes that he was lying. But she still hopes that he will say yes (just in case he really was lying to her).
She decided to change her clothes at school but she didn't know what to change into! Thankfully, Madison was there to give her one of her newest dresses. Madison kept on making clothes for Sakura even though Sakura had already finished collecting the Clow Cards and performing all of Eli's tests, she still enjoyed creating dresses for the fun of it. The dress that Madison gave to Sakura this time is quite tame compared to most of the dresses that Madison had given her, and by tame I mean no frilly collars etc. This one is garnet red in colour, with an open back. The front of it is low cut, so it shows off her chest area (just a little bit). And the skirt ends at her knees. Before she changed into it, she argued with Madison that it was too showy, but she gave in only due to Madison's point (Sakura still loves Yukito, so why not show it off?). Sakura actually was thinking about using this dress for her prom. Now onto important business, thankfully.
When she got to Yukito's house, his grandfather answered the door.
"Good afternoon Mr. Tsukishiro. Is Yukito home?" Sakura asked politely.
"Yes he is, and I must say you look amazing," replied Yukito's grandfather.
"Th…thank you. I might use it for prom," Sakura said.
"And you should, it suits you perfectly. Did Madison make it for you?" said a kind and gentle voice from the top step.
Yukito mad his way to greet Sakura. He couldn't believe how beautiful she's gotten over the years. Now he's really hoping that she would ask him out.
"Umm…I asked my dad if you could stay with us and…umm…he said that that it's ok," she said stuttering slightly.
"Oh, oh yeah, awesome! So I guess you're here to pick me up then?" he asked.
"Well it's up to you if you want to come over tonight or tomorrow night. It IS ok with you Mr. Tsukishiro, right?" she asked Yukito's grandfather.
"I don't know…should I let my grandson stay with such a beautiful young woman such as yourself. But I don't want this young wiper-snapper to stay here, so…I guess he can stay with you," he said laughing to himself.
Yukito just looked at Sakura and smiled as his face deepened slightly. Sakura returned the smile and realized that Yukito's face was turning red. She just couldn't believe that he (HE) was embarrassed (Yukito Tsukishiro, the one who was in love with her brother) just by what his grandfather had said. She too felt her face deepen into a different shade than usual.
"Well…umm…let me go get my things," Yukito said trying to mask his feelings.
"Here, I'll give you a tour of the house!" said Yukito's grandfather as he grabbed her arm and pulled her away.
As Yukito began to pack his things, he couldn't help but think that there could be a chance for him and Sakura to get together.
'I hope that she won't be mad at me for lying to her. Toya told me that she accepted my answer in her own way, which was true at the time, but now…now…I just don't know now.'
"I hope she forgives me and that she really loves me," he said to himself.
Ten minutes later and several backs packed, Yukito found his beloved Sakura back at the front door with his grandfather, waiting for him.
"So do you have everything?" his grandfather asked him.
"Yup! Have you seen my car keys?" Yukito replied happily.
"I think they're right…there!" his grandfather said pointing to the basket on the table.
"You have your own car?" Sakura asked nearly in awe.
"Yup! I got it a year after I graduated! But don't you have your drivers license?" he replied.
"No, not yet. I still like to roller skate to and from school," she said, blushing slightly.
"Oh well, I'm glad to see that you haven't changed too much. Come on! Let's get the car loaded up and get going, ok?" he asked.
"Ok! Thank you Mr. Tsukishiro for the tour!" Sakura said to Yukito's grandfather.
"No problem! Take good care of my grandson! And Yukito, don't do anything I wouldn't do! HA HA HA!" he replied laughing hysterically as Sakura and Yukito left the house.
After they loaded up the car and had gotten into the car, Sakura couldn't help but think that something was up. She doesn't want to have her heart broken again so her newest mission is to find out what's up. But it would have to be fast; her prom is tomorrow night. At that moment Yukito started up the car.
"Yukito…umm before we get home…I need to know something," she started calmly.
"Ok…what would you like to know?" he asked slowly.
"I would like to know…phew…doyouloveme!" she asked in a fast manner.
"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat it?" he asked uncertainly.
"Oh never mind. I was just rambling again," she said reassuringly.
"Oh…ok. Well ok, lets get going," he said and with that they made their way home.
Authors notes: even though in the book series it is revealed that Yukito doesn't have grandparents, this version is looking at the story as if it were a complete lie (even though it isn't).
