Hello, It's me again. Thank you for the reviews I really liked them. I decided that I need a sidekick.
Actually my mom read my first two chapters and she asked why do I ramble so much with myself so I
decided to look for someone who types as fast as I do and is a great partner in crime (Meaning a great
maid ^-^) so... ( Signals to door where there's a sign saying I NEED A SIDEKICK) I'll tell you the
results in the next chapter ok. So now on with the fic
Disclaimer: I tell you this hurt so much. No, I don't own CCS, Nor CC (Which if I did own I would throw
it to the garbage and never take it out of there)
Fighting for Love
By Yakumo
Eriol was in the library of his house, which was utterly quiet. Not even the help was making any noises.
Tomoyo and Nakuru had decided to go over to Sakura-Chan's house because as Tomoyo bluntly put it "Sakura wasn't
fashionably ready to go to Hong Kong, but she was going to fix that"
And so she did. For a week, Tomoyo and Nakuru had gone over to Sakura's and dragged her to malls, stores
and of course to the manor, so that Sakura could be used as Tomoyo's guinea pig with her new designs.
Suppi and Kero had been upstairs playing video games, after a while of screams and sounds of what Eriol thought
was fist fighting, everything went quiet. At first he had been a little surprised, but when he went up to check on them,
they were sleeping so peacefully that anyone who saw them wouldn't believe that an hour earlier they were at each other
throats.
And now, Eriol decided it was time for him to relax, just go to his office, grab a book from his shelf, and sit
quietly in the couch. It was not easy to have a moment of peace and quiet in that house, especially since they decided that
everybody was going to Hong Kong with Sakura and Syaoran. Not that he minded the sudden energetic outburst from his guardians,
but how he loved the quiet house moments, since they were so hard to come by
As he was reaching the couch, the phone began to ring
-Well, there goes peace and quiet- Eriol sighed. He headed towards his desk and picked up the phone
-Daidouji - Hiraguizawa Manor, This is Eriol speaking-
-Hello Eriol, It's been a long time- said a feminine voice that came from the other side of the receiver - You even changed
the name of the Manor.
Eriol recognized the voice immediately.
-Kaho, is it you? - Asked a shocked Eriol. It was weird to see the effect of this woman voice in the man who was supposed to be
the half of the powerful Clow Reed.
-I have sensed that you needed me, so I decided to return to Japan- After a pause she asked - It has to do with Sakura-chan, doesn't it? -
-Yes, it does. I'm a little worried with my half daughter- Explained Eriol who had recovered from the shock of Kaho
-I'll see you very soon- said Kaho. And with that she hanged the phone.
Eriol knew that Kaho meant the last part. When he least expected it, He would see Kaho again. He stared at the phone. Same enigmatic
and mysterious Kaho. She entered his life without any notice and when she went away, she left such a Void. And then came Tomoyo. At first she
was his cure for sadness and she was her cure for loneliness, but with time she began filling the void with love instead of friendship and he
fell for her forgetting the pain and sorrow. But now he had to face the past again, and talk to Kaho for she was the only one who knew the outcome
of this battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-Oh Sakura-chan, Aren't you happy? - Squealed Tomoyo. She was doing what she loved the most: Pampering her dear Sakura
-Tomoyo-chan, don't you think it's enough? I'm only going to be in Hong Kong for a month, you know?
Sakura had been dragged all week long to malls, shops and others along with Nakuru, who didn't seem to mind one bit.
-Just one more thing- then she frowned and turned towards Sakura- and besides this is an important occasion; you're being
presented to the family of your fiancée, and in important occasions...-
-...You have to look your best- concluded Sakura- I know Tomoyo, but I'm exhausted and nothing else will fit in either
Nakuru's, yours or my car, so why don't we go home and continue tomorrow?
-You know Tomoyo, she has a point- Said Nakuru
-Ok, you whiners, let's go- sighed a defeated Tomoyo- but first let's eat something. I'm starving.
-Me too, let's go for pizza- said Sakura
-Yes- agreed Nakuru
-I don't know, I have a crazy urge for okonomiyaki- Said Tomoyo
-Oooohhh, Tomoyo has a craving?- teased Sakura- be careful, you could be carrying a little Eriol.
-I do not- Said Tomoyo who was blushing madly.
Sakura wasn't used to see Tomoyo blush, in fact it was always the other way around. She was going to take this chance and exploit
it to the fullest.
-Ohhh, I see a blush coming, that means I'm right ne, Tomoyo-chan-
-Nani?-
-I want to be the Godmother!!!- Now it was her turn to squeal
-I want to spoil the baby the baby rotten- Said Nakuru
-Stop it you guys!- said Tomoyo who by now was tomato red
-Oh, come on Tomoyo, don't be mad, we were just joki--humph--
Since Sakura was to busy molesting Tomoyo, she didn't watch where she was going and bumped into somebody
-Gomen nasai, I wasn't watching where I was going- she apologized
Don't worry, it was my fault...- the voice made a pause-...Sakura-chan?
The 3 girls recognized the voice immediately. Such calmness... that voice belonged to
-Mizuki-sensei? - Exclaimed the 3 girls at the same time

HONG KONG
Yelan Li was having a terrible headache. It had been a week since she had talked to Meiling and her parents
FLASHBACK
-Auntie, what are you doing here?- asked Meiling who was startled to see her aunt in her parent's house.
Yelan who could read the girl as a book, saw that she was filled with happiness and hope, and she was there to crush it.
-Demo... Meiling, It's that the way you receive your aunt?-
-Gomen nasai, aunt. I didn't expect your visit, especially knowing you're busy with the celebrations and all.
Please, do come in- said a very red Meiling.
-I understand. Are your parents home- Asked Yelan
-Dad isn't, but mom is in the living room. Come, I'll take you-
Meiling leaded Yelan through the garden and into the living room. She was so happy. If her aunt was here it meant
she was right. It was what she had been waiting for. When they reached to the living room, a woman with jet-black hair was
reading a book. She was in her mid forties but she was very elegant and beautiful
-Mom, you have a visitor- said Meiling
The woman took her eyes of the book to reveal a pair of Ruby red eyes that looked a lot like her daughter's own.
-Yelan, Sister. How have you been?- she greeted
-Mingmei, How are you?- she then received a hug from her sister
-I went to your house early this morning to bring you the guest list you asked for. I guess it's for the welcome
party, though we have to fix some details- explained Mingmei.
In that moment, Meiling went out of the room to get tea for the guest. When Mingmei saw that Meiling was out, she
turned to Yelan.
-Tell me the truth sister, Did Xiaolang succeed in his mission?-
Yelan sighed -Yes he did. He found a suitable wife a she agreed to the marriage-
Mingmei face was saddened by the answer of her sister. -Poor Meiling- she whispered
-Mingmei she knew how it was going to be. If Xiaolang didn't succeed in his mission he would be marrying Meiling,
but if he did...-
-...She had to get another suitor- completed Mingmei. Her ruby eyes were filled with sadness for her daughter
-You know, she thinks the celebration is for her and Xiaolang-
-I know, I've sensed it- Said Yelan
Then adopting her smiling face again, Mingmei asked- So... Who's the lucky lady?
-It's the Card Mistress-
-Well, It was destiny and fate who wanted it that way. It also helps that he loves her, he's going to be happy,
and the family shall not lose it's magical lineage. In fact it shall grow stronger.- Mingmei's eyes suddenly turned
somber again- How am I supposed to tell the news to Meiling?-
She was answered by the sound of a crashing tea set. It was Meiling who had heard the whole conversation. She was
crying she couldn't believe she created a lie and believed it.
-It... can't... be... (sob) It... just... can't...-Then she went running to her room
-Meiling, please wait- cried Mingmei who followed her, along with Yelan
END OF FLASHBACK
Yelan couldn't help feeling sorry for the girl. But she was young and she would get over it. But for now...
In the Li-Rae ( Sorry, don't know Meiling's 2º surname) Manor, Meiling was watching the sunset. That was her
favorite part of the day, when the world would be filled with colors. But for her it was also filled the memories. Some
happy, some sad. But for now she only had one memory to remember, for it was during the sunset that she said goodbye to
Xiaolang 9 years ago
FLASHBACK
-I know what your mission is Xiaolang, and I'm really happy for you. It's just that I'm going to miss you-
She said. She had tried to be strong but a tear managed to get out
-I have to go and look for her. I can't go on like this. I need her, I... loved her- He said in the brotherly
tone she used for her
How she hated the way he used to talk to her. As if she were one of his sisters. She was his cousin but she loved him
so much more. She thought she had left those feelings behind her when they last went to Japan and she surrendered before Kinomoto,
In fact she helped getting them together. But she wasn't completely cured and now it hurted more because she knew he would never
loved her as she loved him.
-What if you fail?- She asked
-Huh?-
-What if with time you find out you don't love her, or that she doesn't love you anymore?
By the face she saw he knew he was shocked, But she had to ask the question. It was burning inside. She had to know
- I know that won't happen, but if it does, everything will go the way it's going now-
-That means...-
-If she decides she doesn't love me I'll have to do what the elders tell me and marry you- he said sadly- But I know
deep in my heart that won't happen. I wouldn't want to destroy your chances of happiness with someone who does really
love you-
Then she knew it would never happen. He would never love her. But he could learn if he got married to her. She wished
he would fail. Then she turned to face him
-In case anything happens, I want you to know I'll always be there for you- she said
END OF FLASHBACK
She meant it. If he failed she would still get married to him. Just to show them he wasn't a failure to the Clan. But
he hadn't failed. Yes there had been moments when she thought he was going to fail, but then Sakura returned to him or vice
versa and the feelings they had for each other grew stronger. They were meant to be.
JAPAN
-When did you return to Japan Kaho-san?- Asked a surprised Nakuru
-Two days ago- answered Kaho- You really look pretty Nakuru-chan
-It's all thanks to Tomoyo- She said and blushed at the comment
-Ah, yes. Congratulations Tomoyo on your marriage. I'm sorry I couldn't go to the wedding. I had to stay to give a
summer course- Apologized the lady
-Don't worry Mizuki-sensei, I understand
-Please, call me Kaho, I'm not your sensei anymore- She said smiling
-Mizuki-sensei, What brings you to Japan?- Asked Sakura. She learned from her that coincidences didn't exist, only the
inevitable or unavoidable.
-I'm on vacation, so I decided to visit my parents at the Tsukimine shrine- Kaho then noticed the ring on Sakura's finger
-I see someone got engaged. So... who's the lucky guy Sakura-chan?
Blushing, Sakura told her - Remember Li-kun, Mizuki-sensei- she asked
-Sakura, please call me Kaho. Yes I remember. The kid who always glared at me- Then whispering she said -Your companion during
the Card capturing days- Then regaining her normal tone she said -I always thought you would be a sweet couple
Sakura blushed again -Mizu- - I mean Kaho-san, Would you like to have dinner with us tonight- She blurted out- I mean, everybody
is going to be at my house, And I'm sure everybody is going to be happy to see you-
After thinking a moment Kaho accepted the invitation
-Yeah! We'll surprise everybody!- Squealed Nakuru *Especially Eriol-sama* Thought Ruby Moon
-How about 7 o'clock- Asked Sakura
-Great for me- Said Kaho
-See you at 7 then-
- Well girls I've got to go. It's been a pleasure to see you again. Bye- and with that she began walking away
-Bye Mizu- - Kaho- san- Said Tomoyo and Sakura.
