Faded From The World
Ah!
"Sakura-chan! Stop moving! I can't get accurate measurements when you keep squirming."
"Sorry Tomoyo-chan." Sakura stood as still as she could, her feet hip width open and her arms held out from the sides of her body, it was a hard position to keep for a extended length time. The blood wasn't moving to Sakura's arms and it was starting to hurt.
"Last measurement.....and......done!" The ebony haired girl rolled up the yellow sewing measuring tape and placed it on the desk beside her that was covered with sewing tools. Sakura shook out her limbs. "This won't take long to make, I just need to call the maids to bring the fabric of of storage." Tomoyo walked over to the wall near the door and pressed the button for the intercom. "Miuzaki-san(cookies and a mention in the next chapter for anyone who knows who Miuzaki is), could you bring the fabric style #659 and #372 up to my bedroom, please?"
The reply came seconds later. "Gommennasai, Daidoji-sama. We have lost the key to the fabric storage room, we can't open it."
"It's okay. Thank you, Miuzaki-san, I shall go down myself. I have a spare key." Sakura looked puzzled at her friend, as far as she knew Tomoyo didn't have any of the keys. Only the maid and Daidoji-san had them.
"Tomoyo-chan? Do you really have a spare?" Tomoyo giggled and winked at Sakura.
"Nope, but I have you. Come." Tomoyo slide out the door signaling for Sakura to follow after her. She was lead down a complex series of hallways and corridors, everyone lined with a number of doors, mostly double doors. Even after going down to the first floor from Tomoyo's room on the third floor, they still went down. Eventually they reached a big steel door, with a huge key lock on the front.
"What do you want me to do to the door? I don't have a key." Tomoyo giggled again, of course she knew Sakura wouldn't have a key.
"Cut the lock. You can do that, right? After all if Sword can go through a magical barrier than steel shouldn't be a problem. Go for it Sakura-chan." By this time Sakura had already pulled the small pink key from around her neck and was searching her deck for Sword.
"Rain, Wind, Shadow, Wood, SWORD! There we go.
"Key that holds the power of the stars, reveal your true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract, RELEASE!" A bright burst of light appeared and seconds later Sakura was standing with the star staff in her hand.
"That was exquisitely elegant, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo commented. This time it was particularly graceful, even for Sakura.
"Thanks, Tomoyo-chan. Now let's do this," Sakura flick Sword out in front of her and raised the star staff above her head, "SWORD!" As the staff was brought down upon the card, magic of every color swirled around Sakura. The card disappeared and the staff transformed into a sleek rapier like sword.
Sakura thrust the tip of the sword into the large steel lock where the key should have gone, and with one quick downward, upward, movement cu the lock in two. The two halves fell to the ground with a loud ting.
In a flash, the sword had turned back to a staff, then to the key and the Sword card was floating down into Sakura's hands.
"There done."
"Ah!" Sakura spun around to face her friend, who was, at the moment, looking very destressed.
"What? What's wrong?" Sakura asked, completely confused. She had done exactly what Tomoyo asked, what did she do wrong?
"I forgot to film you!"
