Hello people, I am assuming if there are still people reading this fic... I have to admit that I can't seem to be able to give my commitment to this fic ... but I vow to myself that I will finish this fic ...someday... which I hope will come soon ... my main excuse was the fact that I was so busy writing my bachelor's thesis along with internship... and now I actually have ample time in my hands to actually write this fic since I am done with my degree... Well I'm not the best writer around and in a way I purposely choose not to edit some old parts that I've previously written because personally I wanted see how I've grown in terms of my writings... so mind the grammars but if anyone have any suggestions or corrections...I welcome it because I believe that constructive comments are always great...and also I'd like to apologize to all my readers in the past and maybe future for being such a lazy ass for not updating this fic sooner.

A short introduction: -

This story takes place 15 years after Eriol's death. Tomoyo is a very successful fashion designer. Sonomi is married to Fujitaka 10 years before this story takes place. Tomoyo has two kids, a twin, Hiiragizawa Hikaru and Hiiragizawa Hakuro. Yes, as you guess it, they're Eriol's. Sakura married Syaoran and they also have two kids, Li Syaofeng / Kaze, Li Syaoyu / Amane. Chiharu married Yamazaki and had a daughter, Miki, who is twelve. She's studying in Tomoeda's primary school, a cheerleader captain, very driven and very busy for a 12 year old, but not really closes with the twin. Naoko is still single and is a successful fiction writer and novelist. Rika married Terada-sensei and they have two kids, Erika is 14 and Yuuta is 11. Erika and Yuuta both study in a boarding school, reason behind why they're not really close with the twin. Touya and Yukito are living in Hokkaido and no they have no such thing as what people call as an 'intimate' relation. They're just very, very, good friends. Kero lives with Sakura in Hong Kong and has become somewhat of an advisor for the Li clan for. Nakuru / Ruby Moon and Suppi / Spinel Sun remained in London, guarding Eriol's properties and did keep in touch with Tomoyo (not very often). I think that's about the entire introduction of the story.

Note 1:

This is actually a sequel to my previous story titled Tomoyo's Secret... so if anyone reading this have problem understanding what's going on in this story ... I suggest that you read Tomoyo's Secret and be warn that it was written when I was 13 ...expect the worse in terms of my writings...because personally when I read it again...I, myself was confused and horrified reading it... nonetheless, the idea was there ...you just have to brace yourself with the bad grammars and sentence structures and...many glaring errors...do R&R...flames are welcome...:D

Note 2:

My writing style is more in conversation form. So in order for you to understand the story, understand what the characters are talking about.

Disclaimer:-

No, I don't own Card Captor Sakura but I do own my own original character that I fabricated from my own brain. I know you all out there know who(s) I am talking about. Even though it is a really good thought that I actually own CLAMP, those ladies are seriously geniuses for creating these amazing characters (drool worthy, e.g. Hiiragizawa Eriol, Kamui (X), and etc). Enough of me ranting now go and read my humble piece of fanfic.

Yukishiro High's Basketball court,

Hikaru, Rinko and Sakuya changed into their jerseys; Hakuro changed into his sweats. They all were getting ready to play. Haruko, Kaze and Tomoyo sat by the benches and chit chatting while waiting for the four of them get ready. Sakuya and Rinko in one team and the twins in one team; Sakura, Syaoran, Takashi, Chiharu and their daughter arrive a few moments later. (Tomoyo called them to come)

"We got quite a crowd."

Hikaru said.

"Well it's only natural that everyone should watch this game since it is your debut play."

The two girls giggle on what Sakuya said to Hakuro. Hakuro let out a small grin.

"Ganbatte, minna!"

Tomoyo, Haruko, Sakura, Chiharu and Miki (Chiharu and Takashi's daughter) cried. The four players wave their hands to all the audience.

"Let the game begin."

Sakuya wink at the opponent team with the ball in his hand.

"Bring it on."

Karu said, mischievously. The game start with Sakuya throwing the ball upwards Karu jumps and smash the ball letting Kuro take it. Rinko block his way to the hoop, Kuro throw the ball to Karu who is already under the basket hoop. She caught the ball and shoots it into the hoop. The audience let out a loud applause. Sakuya pat Karu's shoulder.

"The game is just starting."

He smirks. She sticks her tongue out at him. They take their positions and start the game all over again. After and hour and half of a very competitive game, Sakuya and Rinko's teamwork was a lot more dynamic and effective than the twins.

"That was a good game, now I am sure that our school's team going to win the regional."

Sakuya claimed, panting.

"Regional? Make it the whole Japan."

Hakuro added. The two girls let out a small laugh. All the audience walk towards them.

"Kuro, are you sure you've never played a game of basketball before?"

Tomoyo asked.

"It seems like you've been playing forever."

Sakura added.

"You are as good as them, with a lot more room for improvement."

Chiharu claimed. Hakuro blushes, and just smile shyly.

"Did you know that in the olden days, when basketball was first introduced, they use human heads as the ball?"

Chiharu frowns at what Takashi just said. She punches his head. Big sweat drops appear on everyone's head.

"Takashi-san, I have doubts that you are actually the same age with my father."

Kaze said, jokingly. Syaoran snorted at what he said.

"We have to agree on that."

"Otousan is funny."

Miki said. Takashi hugs his daughter and laugh.

"Kawaii musume."

He said.

"I think we better leave the kids by themselves, and we go for a drink, just us grownups."

Sakura suggested.

"That's a good idea."

"We all had so much to catch up with each other."

The grownups said.

"Sakuya-kun, since you're the oldest, we'll be putting you in charge of all the kids."

Tomoyo said. He replied her with a nod and a smile.

"Miki-chan, you can join us if you want."

Hikaru offered. Miki shakes her head and mutters 'daijoubu'.

"I have cheerleading practice in half an hour. I would love to hang out with you all but I'm the captain so I can't miss the practice,"

She bows and mutters 'gomen' under her breath.

"You are so adorable Miki-chan and very driven."

Rinko hugs her.

"So we'll drop you of at your school, okay?"

Her parents said. She nods.

"Ja, I'll see you two at home."

Tomoyo said to her twins.

"And the same goes with you Syaofeng, and your sister."

Syaoran stressed on the last word he said. Sakura and Tomoyo giggle girlishly, seeing how a protective father he has become. Kaze nods. The grownups leave after hugging all the teenagers. The rest of them went to the showers to clean up and after that they all walk to Penguin Park, where they promised to meet Hiro and Amane, and went back to their respective homes.

Few days later, Daidouji's mansion,

Kuro sat on his armchair with a book in his hand while Karu practices her violin in the study room. The door creaked open, behind it stood their mother, still in her office suit, looking very tired but content.

"I see that you're actually practicing your violin, is that a new piece?"

She asked as she walks closer to her daughter. Karu stop playing and place her violin on the violin holder, closing the music notes on the stand and hug her mother.

"No, it's one of my old ones."

She smiled as she hugs Tomoyo tightly.

"Do you have something to tell us, okasan?"

Kuro said as he closes his book. Tomoyo smiled and sat on the sofa opposite his armchair with Karu beside her.

"Since it is the summer holiday, I want you two to come with me to England for the next few months."

She paused.

"…and now that you already know about your father, we're going to visit him."

Karu let out a loud cry, and hug her mother again. Kuro gave his mother a tight hug.

"I've booked the tickets and we'll be leaving by the end of this month."

"Okasan, this means everything for us."

"Arigato, okasan."

Tomoyo kisses both of their foreheads.

"Why don't we go out for supper in celebration?"

Karu suggested as she let go of her mother. Tomoyo nodded.

"Go get ready then."

They left 20 minutes later and Yogi drove them to the fanciest Italian restaurant in Tomoeda, Little Venice. Kuro took the liberty of ordering for his mother and sister since he knows well of what they would like, Caesar salad for Tomoyo, spaghetti Marinara for Hikaru and prawn risotto for him.

"Okasan, I've watched all the video tape that you made when you were young. You love Moonlight Sonata a lot right? Otousan played that a lot for you."

Karu murmured as she took a sip of her drink.

"Yes, but I only like the one that your father played for me. His version was made for me."

Tomoyo said, as her mouth form a bittersweet smile. Hakuro gave Hikaru the stare. Hikaru understood that stare very well; her brother wants her to drop the subject.

"I've been practicing the song with Kuro. Maybe we'll play it for you one of these days."

Tomoyo patted her daughter's head.

"Thank you, I'm so lucky to have the two of you in my life."

"We're lucky to have you as our mother."

Kuro stated.

"…okasan, why didn't you change your surname to tousan's?"

Karu asked. Tomoyo let out a small sigh before looking at the two of them.

"Your father and I were never married. He died before he could even think of marriage or having a family."

She wiped the corner of her mouth and took a sip from her glass.

"Tell us okasan, how did he die?"

Kuro asked. Tomoyo took a deep breath and put her glass down on the table.

"He was protecting me and he used his body as a shield. I've told you before that we have magical powers, you two, me, your father, and the Li's."

"But you also told us that he's a great wizard, how can he die?"

Tomoyo sigh.

"He's still human no matter what and the opponent was very powerful, his power made it difficult for your father to heal himself. I was too weak to use my powers."

"So what happened to the bad guy?"

Karu asked, anxiously.

"I destroyed his powers and let him go because you see; he's actually a victim of his father. He was brought up to hate Clow Reed's descendent and attracted to Clow's women. Your grandfather, fought this man, his name is Yuet and died, protecting me."

She paused and bit her lip.

"Apparently many people died protecting me."

She bit her lip. Karu and Kuro hug their mother.

"I believe that they did it because they love you so much."

"Don't blame yourself okasan."

She can't hold her tears anymore. She felt a soft napkin wiping her eyes.

"Thank you Karu and Kuro. You two really are the world to me."

They finished the food and decided to take some air at the park just outside the restaurant. Hakuro and Yogi went to buy few canned drinks from a nearby vending machine while Hikaru and Tomoyo sat at the bench facing the lake. Five men appeared from the other end of the park coming towards them. As they got closer, one of the men was the man known as John Anthony. Tomoyo let out a sigh of disgust.

"Well, if it isn't the lovely owner of Amethyst and Sapphire and her equally lovely daughter."

"If it isn't Mr. Anthony, I thought you went back. What are you doing here?"

"Just taking a night walk and luckily I found you and your daughter."

Karu snorted and stares at the man despicably.

"I can see that your daughter share the same feelings with you on me. Let's call it a truce and become friends."

Tomoyo rolled her eyes.

"The last time I checked you called truce and we were friends you tried to rape me. I don't think so."

"You're overreacting my dear."

Hikaru stood and punch the man. John fall down, his body guard helping him up.

"Now that's overreacting."

He stared at the teenage girl.

"Apparently your daughter is a lot more aggressive than you were."

Just before he could say another word, Yogi and Hakuro came back.

"Okasan, Karu, daijoubu?"

Yogi stands in front of the Tomoyo and her twin. John and his bodyguards flinch.

"It was nice meeting you Tomoyo and your daughter. But bear in mind that I will repay the deed…"

He said as he rubs his bruised lip.

"…that your daughter have given me, till we meet again."

He turns around and disappears into the darkness followed by his bodyguards.

"What was that all about?"

Kuro asked as he gave his mother and sister the canned drinks that he and Yogi bought just now. Tomoyo let out a small relieve sigh. She then signals Yogi to get the car ready, avoiding her son's question. Karu in the other hand rubs the cold tin can on her blistered knuckle. Her brother saw that and raises his eyebrow; he shakes his head and rubs his temple. He knows what happened, from Karu's reactions and his mother's silent and hesitation to answer his question. The Daidouji's black limo appear by the road side, the three of them went into it and was silent along the journey home.

The next day, Yuki Shiro High,

Hikaru had promised to meet Chihiro and Rinko at the school ground. The school was very quiet since it is the holidays. Somehow there are two classes consist of 20 students who failed their last final exam were held back for summer school. Hikaru (accompanied by Hakuro) waited for Chihiro and Rinko in her own classroom. Five minutes later the classroom's door slide open and there stood five figures, Chihiro, Haruko, Rinko, Sakuya and Kaze (Syao Feng).

"Ohayo, Karu-chan and Kuro-kun!"

Rinko said, ever cheerfully. She hugs Karu and Kuro as soon as she sees them (Rinko is one of those few people who are accustomed of hugging him).

"Eh, Kaze-kun, you're here? Amane-chan doko desuka?"

Karu asked Kaze, looking around unable to find little Amane anywhere.

"She went to visit uncle Touya and Tsukishiro-san in Hokkaido with mama, papa and both our grandparents."

He pulls the chair beside her and sat down.

"…she retaliated at first but mama tempted her with the possibilities to video tape the whole journey and to get the annoyed expression of uncle Touya when he sees papa on camera."

The rest of the teenagers smiles awkwardly with a little amuse expression hearing what Kaze said (except for Hakuro of course).

"Aunt Sakura knows her too well…"

The girls let out a small giggle.

"Well, Hiro's disappointed because he can't spend more time with her…They were talking on the phone yesterday and he almost cried…"

Chihiro's face was red and he step on Haruko's feet. She let out a loud painful moan. He whistles and acted as if nothing was going on.

"Aww, poor Hiro-kun."

Karu rubs Chihiro's red cheeks.

"Don't worry we'll have a lot of fun today, vandalizing a lot of the school properties. I want to leave my…our mark here before I leave for London. So that the wonderful principal and teachers of ours remember how much they will miss me and us of course."

Kuro closes the book he was reading.

"I'm going to the café beside the library, when you're done just call Yogi to pick you up."

He said as he push the chair away and start walking to the door.

"Chotto matte kudasai, Kuro-kun, can I come with you?"

Haruko asked before her opens the door. He turns around and nodded, he held out his hand and Haruko took his hand. He opens the door and walk out of the classroom.

"Don't you think that they'd make such a cute couple?"

The statement that Rinko just made receives a small giggle from the others.

"If only my brother is not too blind to see how in love Haruko is with him."

"…and of how Haruko is in total denial to admit that she like Kuro-kun…I did recall what she wrote about Kuro-kun in her journal. He is her hero and that sort. Her journal is full of angst…"

Chihiro whines. Hikaru gave him a little slap on the back.

"Hey, as much as a prankster I am, I don't read other people's journal. That is so low Hiro."

Chihiro bit his lip and smirk.

"Well she read mine, so I don't see anything wrong about reading hers. And who told her to leave her journal in my room, finder's keepers you know."

The two girls rolled their eyes. Kaze and Sakuya giggled silently (in manly way…).

"So our activities today are to trash the principal's office and to put dirt in our homeroom teacher's bag and I think this is the best time to start since the summer class is taking place right now. So two hours from now we meet back in the gymnasium…"

She slides the bag pack that she brought on her shoulder.

"…and do trash anything that you don't like, and I'd appreciate if someone take actions on Yamato Shizuka's gang and that douche boyfriend of hers.…"

She shivers at the very mentioned of Yamato Shizuka's name.

"Kaze you're going with Hiro and Rinko, you and Asakura-sempai."

She gave them a very angelic smile that made the rest of them think that this is the same person who's the mastermind of all the school's pranks. Looks are deceiving.

"I'm going to the principal office…how I'd love to see his face after I'm done with his room…"

Her friends couldn't help but smile awkwardly at her ever changing angel turn diabolical attitude. Off they went to their designed places. Hikaru is already in front of the principal's office. The principal is nowhere to be seen, Hikaru made her move. She opens the door to find a very neat and organize office. 'I am so going to enjoy this. This is for harassing okasan and this is for being such an old sleaze', she thought to herself. She takes out the toilet rolls that she had packed in her bag pack and stars to unroll them all over the office. She also added tomato ketchup and oyster sauce on the chairs and books racks. She rummages through the files in the big cabinet beside the book racks. She looks for her file, namely Hiiragizawa. She found it and opens it. Inside the file, written all the records of hers and Hakuro's, their achievement, her mischief, her pranks (Kuro was included indiscriminately) and lastly, the principal's own hand writing, 'A very alluring Ms Daidouji Tomoyo' at the back of the whole profile. There were even dates and days when she came to school, he even included what she wore on the day that she came. Hikaru cringed reading the detailed description the principal had written.

"What a psycho."

She heard herself said. She takes out her pen and wrote down just under his writings, 'Dear principal Fujiwara, I see that you have dedicated a lot of your time on the Hiiragizawa's twin and it's interesting to see that you actually included a lot of details about their mother. Wonder if the school board would love to see this? Will you be fired and left jobless? I'm going to make copies of this so that people around you will know how despicable you really are. And think of your children and wife, what would they think? I say that you better do your work properly or I'll report you to the board', she closes the file and put it back where it belongs. She packs her bag and walk out of the room quietly. She tip-toed along the corridor and saw outside the window that Kaze and Chihiro are walking across the field towards the gymnasium, 'I think they've done their work', she thought to herself. Suddenly she hears a soft piano song from the music room just ahead her. She walks closer to the room and peek through the small glass door to see who's inside playing that beautiful melody. She saw a blonde boy, she recognizes him. But she couldn't remember his name. His hands move like the wind without any effort. Her bag packs slip from her shoulder and fall down on the floor. There was a small thud sound from the fall. 'Shimatta!'…she murmurs to herself. She bends down to pick her bag and collects all the scattered things from her bag.

"That's a lot of toilet rolls."

She glances up and saw a pair of the most amazing emerald green eyes staring at her. Hikaru blushes.

"Ah, it's you. I'm sorry I didn't get your name before."

He said as he held out his hand for a handshake. Hikaru shakes his hand; she was surprise because it felt as cold as ice. She stands up after putting all her stuff together (and herself together).

"Hiiragizawa Hikaru. And you are?"

"David Forest, the boy you met backstage at the school carnival."

She bit her lip.

"Yes I do remember you, the exchange student. It's just that I've forgotten your name."

She stares at him as she said that.

"Is there something wrong with my face?"

He asked. She shook her head vigorously.

"No, it's just I've never seen such brilliant green eyes."

"Why thank you."

She blushes after she realizes what she had just said.

"I'm sorry, that was a bit too honest."

She said apologetically. He waves his hands.

"No, no, it's okay, bold is good. Girls nowadays find it hard to say what they really wanted to say. You're just very honest, I appreciate that."

Her face turns crimson even more. She slips her bag on her shoulder.

"I think I better go now, my friends are waiting for me."

She starts walking but was held back when she felt the same icy cold hand grabbed her wrist. She turns around to face the blonde boy. He tucks his bangs behind his ears. Hikaru felt her heart pounding slowly as the boy's gaze set upon her.

"I'm going back to my home country tomorrow night. Before I go back, would you like to go out for dinner with me?"

Hikaru blinks and arches her brows.

"…tonight?"

He continued. The boy let go of Hikaru's wrist.

"Are you asking me out?"

She stares at him, confused.

"You barely know me…"

She said.

"That's why I want to get to know you."

He smiles softly at her. She felt her heart melting into those endless green eyes. She returned his smile.

"Oh, what the heck, sure, I'd love to; as long as you're paying."

"So I'll see you tonight, at eight, at the sushi bar just outside this school."

She nodded and walks away. She was confused, 'did he just ask me out on a date? ', she thought. The next thing she knows is that she was already in the gymnasium. Kaze, Chihiro, Rinko and Sakuya were already waiting for her.

"Karu-chan, what took you so long?"

Rinko asked.

"Usually you will be the one to be here first, never the last."

Chihiro claimed.

"Did the old man catch you?"

Sakuya asked. Kaze was behind him, looking very worried. Hikaru shook her head.

"You guys do know that is a very rare possibility where I got caught. I never get caught."

She was full of herself.

"Then why were you late?"

Hikaru blushes.

"Okay, I'll be honest with you guys. A boy asked me out on a date tonight."

She confessed.

"WHAT?"

The rest of them shouted.

"Oh my, who is that lucky guy?"

Rinko asked.

"… and you didn't accept right? Just like how you would usually do."

Chihiro said, unsure himself. Hikaru kept quiet.

"You accepted it?"

Kaze questioned her. She kept quiet still.

"It's true then. You're going out on a date. Karu-chan's first ever date."

Sakuya answered for Hikaru. The others were shocked; they didn't know what to say.

"I don't think any of you know him. He's an exchange student. I had to say yes because he's going back tomorrow, and he has the most amazing emerald green eyes I've ever seen."

She finally said. Rinko hugs her best friend tightly.

"Let's go to your house and let's see what you should wear tonight."

Rinko was being supportive. Kaze and Chihiro were still flabbergasted.

"I think we better leave now."

"Wait till I tell Haruko about this."

Hikaru let out a girlish giggle, a genuine girlish giggle.

Review…flames are very much welcome…suggestions and ideas are also welcome….

Author's footnote (long one):-

This is an update that I present to everyone after a very long hiatus (make that extremely long). I apologize for that. I've been really irresponsible for neglecting my fan fiction. I was actually in a super long author's block. I wasn't able to write / type anything for the longest time. Even my diary entries are almost non-existent. To make things from bad to worse is that my thumb drive where I actually store all of my writings was defected. Was very heat broken and the little drive that was there to write at that time was basically defected as the thumb drive was. But it's a good thing that I stored the notepad version of the chapters in my hard disk. The fact that I am in college and doing my degree now just makes things a lot crazier but I'm not complaining since all these years it has been a blast. But of course there are bittersweet of growing up. I guess my mom's departure played a big role in my writing enthusiasm because it was her who always encouraged me to write more (even though I've never let any of my family members to actually beta read my fanfic). I guess I kind of lost my way for a while (I know 4 years are not a while, it's a long while). I've met so many different people now, get to know them and becoming very close with them. It was not until I met my course mate Patricia (my official beta reader) that I started to think again (seriously that is) about my passion for writing. It's not really what she say, it's more like I was influenced by her passion when she talks about things that she likes, like Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight'(the main factor why I become good friends with her). It's really great to see people talk about a good book and be all happy and enthusiastic about it. My English has also improved, and I am majoring in English Language and Communication. Maybe who knows, I might actually really write real (not only limiting myself to writing fan fiction that is) stories or script or screenplay in the future (preferably the near future), so pray for me and good luck for everyone out there who thought of the same thing as I did.

Till then, loads of love,

Izy
