Chapter 9
News
"Mama!" the girl of 3 years old with purple hair tugged on her Mother's hand. "Look! There she is, Miss Aki!"
She pointed excitedly to a young woman about 20 years old surrounded by men with cameras who stood not too far in front of them.
"So it is," her mother smiled at her daughter, "Would you like to meet her?"
She nodded and gave a warm smile, "Yes please Mama!"
She giggled excitedly as she, her mother and their bodyguards made their way through the crowd.
The men with cameras started whispering excitedly at the sight of the girl's mother.
"Sonomi Daidouji… It's Sonomi Daidouji." They kept repeating amongst one another.
'Miss Mizuno,' her mother said as she approached the young woman, "What a wonderful performance you held." She said as she greeted her with a bow.
Mizuno Aki was overwhelmed with Sonomi Daidouji's presence and bowed over and over replying thank you to her.
'Wow… Mama's so famous. Miss Aki is turning red…' The little girl thought as she looked at her mother then to Mizuno Aki.
The girl had clear blue eyes and warm brown colored hair that Tomoyo came to a solution that she may not be pure Japanese.
"… And so, my daughter fell in love with your performance and wishes to greet you." Sonomi said as she placed a hand on her daughter's shoulder.
Mizuno Aki gave the girl a bow in which she replied back with a bow. Mizuno Aki then knelt down in front of her and smiled.
"I am happy you enjoyed my performance… It means a lot to me."
The girl shook her head and replied enthusiastically.
"Thank you for singing! I want to sing like you too when I grow up!"
Mizuno Aki and Sonomi Daidouji exchanged smiles.
"I look forward to that day young miss Daidouji."
------------
Tomoyo Daidouji stepped out of her house and headed towards the gates.
A lady in black and shades offered to escort her out however she replied with a smile and insisted she was fine.
Leaves from nearby trees crossed her path as she walked towards Tomoeda Shops.
Even though it was almost Summer, the air was chilly and it was windy.
Tomoyo scanned the area with her amethyst eyes. On her left was the wall that shielded the row of houses while on her right was a row of cherry blossom trees.
The soft petals touched her cheek as her long hair swayed in the wind. She gave a warm smile and tucked a bit of her hair behind her ears.
'Somehow, it's like they're welcoming my presence…'
Then she glanced at her feet, where fallen cherry blossom petals lay.
"Or perhaps they're saying goodbye to me…"
Within a few minutes, she caught site of the glaring lights from the shops.
It was a small neighborhood in Tokyo therefore many people would know each other.
She waved and smiled at everyone she knew before she stepped into the coffee shop.
"Welcome!" cheerful waiters and waitresses greeted her.
"Tomoyo-chan!"
Tomoyo turned to see Mihara Chiharu and Yamazaki Takashi who were having a couple of cappuccinos at one of the tables.
She walked over to them and gave a bow.
"How are you? You look well!" Yamazaki asked her and offered a seat.
"Mou… Takashi. You only saw her like last week." Chiharu stated.
"A week is a long time. Did you know that back in the Medieval times, time is very precious as brave knights couldn't even see their families and friends that they… MPPHHH!"
"Hai hai… I believe you." Chiharu cut him off by stuffing a doughnut in his mouth.
Tomoyo giggled and smiled at the couple. They have been friends since kindergarten and have been inseparable ever since. She first met them when they were in Tomoeda elementary school which she transferred to at the age of 9.
"What would you like to drink? Hmmm?" Chiharu asked, "The usual Mocha Latte or Green Tea frapp?"
Tomoyo held up two fingers, indicating she wanted the second choice.
"Hai hai! One coming up… TAKASHI!" she cried out at the sight of her boyfriend choking on the doughnut, she quickly smacked his back repeatedly and he finally managed to half swallow and half spat it out.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" she apologized over and over as Tomoyo offered him a glass of warm water that she requested from a waiter.
"Ahh… That scared me… Thought I almost died..." he said inflicting guilt upon Chiharu.
"I'm sorry! I know! I'll bake cookies and give them to you tomorrow as a sign of an apology okay?"
"Then I better say my prayers in order not to fall into any deeper misfortune than this doughnut incident…" he chuckled.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" she wrapped her hands around his throat and started to wring his neck as he gave out some laughs.
Tomoyo 'giggled' as she enjoys the familiar sight of them two going at it.
When Chiharu finally calmed down, she went over to the counter and ordered Tomoyo's drink.
Tomoyo 'asked' Yamazaki whether he was alright and he just replied with a laugh.
"No worries.. If I wasn't okay I wouldn't be alive right now." He said as Chiharu's purse smacked against the back of his head.
Tomoyo just smile and nodded at him.
"Takashi… You're so mean, honestly." Chiharu said upon returning to her seat. Tomoyo took out her wallet and paid Chiharu for her drinks.
"Thank you very much," Chiharu said with a smile, "Isn't it great that Sakura and Li are representing our school for the sports tournament? They're just freshmen too!"
"I heard they beat our seniors at almost all of the events…" Yamazaki stated as he drank a bit of his warm water.
Tomoyo explained to them using sign language that both Sakura and Li were bombarded with requests to join various sports club and Sakura was reluctant to say no to any of them.
Both Chiharu and Yamazaki laughed.
"That's so typical of Sakura… She probably broke into sweat and ran off…" Chiharu said after she was done laughing.
"Medium sized Green tea frappuccino with whip cream!" a barista called out.
Tomoyo stood up and excuse herself after thanking both Yamazaki and Chiharu.
"Ah, Takashi, did you tell her?" Chiharu suddenly said.
Tomoyo stopped midway and turned back to them.
"Ah! No no… I haven't. Thank you for reminding me."
'Told me what?' Tomoyo 'asked' them.
"Yesterday, when I was at the airport to confirm my plane ticket to Hokkaido, I bumped into Hiiragizawa Eriol. He came back from England."
End of Chapter 9
I'm back! I'm so sorry it's been more than half a year since I've updated! I'm sorry! I was too busy with my new college… I applied to somewhere new and was piled up with stress.
HAU…. I'm back and fired up for the fan fiction. I'm sorry it took so long.
Actually if it wasn't for AniMeViEtGrl, I wouldn't have been able to continue the story. So thank you so much! You're so sweet! Thanks for bringing me back from the land of the dead fan fiction writers.
Anyway, yes… Eriol isn't back.. Yet… I can't have him back too soon. That will just kill the story.
Hahahaha… Anyway. Please stay with me.. If I ever give up, just send a review and I'll be reenergize…
