Chapter 4: Kamui and the New Outfit
Kamui stood on a coffee table while Daidouji-san finished pinning the hem for his jacket. He had no idea how he had gotten talked into this. Sorata and Arashi were watching him from a couch and Sorata was finding this all just a little too amusing for Kamui's comfort.
Kamui also wasn't completely pleased by what he was wearing. Rather than his usual school uniform, Kamui was now wearing what at first glance appeared to be a black jacket trimmed with a purple stripe and a pair of purple biker shorts. The jacket was shorter in the front and flared out in the back curving down to reach as far as Kamui's knees. Daidouji-san was hard at work fixing the back hem so that the jacket would be just the right length. The front of the jacket had purple frogs closing it and revealed Kamui's bare midrif. Kamui was also wearing a pair of purple gloves, black boots and a large black beret with a purple insignia of the Big Dipper on it.
"Why are we doing this again?" sighed Kamui, hoping there was some way to get out of it.
"As I told Sakura-chan, when one does special things, one needs special outfits. Hiragiizawa-kun, told me you do many special things," Tomoyo explained to him. "I'm so happy to have this opportunity to make costumes again," she gushed blithely.
"How did you know to come here?" asked Arashi.
"Hiragiizawa-kun called me on the telephone last night. He told me he knew someone named Kamui Shirou, who was in need of my costume making services. Since Sakura-chan hasn't been doing as many special things, I haven't been making her costumes very often," answered Tomoyo in a voice tinged with regret. "I've made a few things for Cultural Festivals and for parties but it is not the same."
Kamui was thankful he didn't have to explain to Daidouji-san that 'Hiragiizawa-kun' was really his father.
There was a knock on the door and Nokuru entered the room where Daidouji-san was working on Kamui's costume. He was rather amused to see the bizarre costume on the Seal but felt getting out of a school uniform was probably good for Kamui. As Nokuru entered, Arashi excused herself to work on dinner. Since Yuzuriha was still out shopping and Kamui seemed indisposed, Arashi took it upon herself to make their meal. Spinel had been in the kitchen working on dinner since before they'd arrived home from school.
Sorata was stuck in a bind. He could follow Arashi to the kitchen and have the chance to spend time with the beautiful miko, or he could stay here and enjoy laughing at Kamui. With Arashi gone, there wouldn't be anyone here to stop his teasing of Kamui. Nokuru was even likely to encourage his antics. Surprising himself, he decided to stay. Kamui was rather disappointed, as he had hoped Arashi's departure would be an incentive for Sorata to exit as well.
"Daidouji-san, you do fabulous work," commented Nokuru
"Thank you Imonoyama-san. I love making costumes."
"Hey, Tomoyo, how come this costume was ready so quickly if Eriol only told you last night about this?"
"Originally, I was making this outfit for Sakura-chan, but she hasn't needed any costumes lately so I thought, judging from what Hiragiizawa-kun said, it would be easy to re-work it for Shirou-san."
Before Daidouji-san had finished her reply Sorata had started to laugh, Kamui's costume was originally meant for a girl! Even Nokuru found this somewhat amusing, and was laughing quietly behind his fan. Kamui was about to try and make a clever retort when Yuzuriha and Nakuru dashed into the room with their many shopping bags.
"Sorry we're back so late!--Kamui! You look adorable!" gushed Yuzuriha as she noticed the Seal on the table. "I wish we could all get cute outfits like that!"
"That can be arranged," smirked Nokuru. "I would never want to disappoint a lady."
Now the laugh was on Sorata, who wasn't really sure he wanted Tomoyo making something for him.
"I'd be pleased to make outfits for as many people as you would like," graciously offered Tomoyo. She suddenly noticed the high school girl standing next to Yuzuriha. "Akizuki-san?"
"Tomoyo-chan!" shouted Nakuru exuberantly as she launched herself at the junior high student. "I see Eriol convinced you to help Kamui's wardrobe."
Tomoyo was surprised to see Nakuru. "Akizuki-san, is Hiragiizawa-kun here to?"
Nakuru laughed. "No, Souppy and I are here as the Guardians of the Seal." She pointed towards Kamui as she said the last word. "How is Touya-kun? Is he still with that useless Yue? Touya-kun must be very handsome now. And how is Sakura-chan and Eriol's other cute relative?" Nakuru winked at Kamui with that last comment.
"Please don't tell me I have a half-sibling," thought Kamui miserably.
"I thought Kero-chan was the Beast of the seal?" asked Tomoyo.
"No, he is the Guardian Beast," sighed an exasperated Nakuru. Why did no one seem to understand these things. "Souppy and I were made to be Guardians of the Seal."
Sorata suddenly grasped something that had been nagging at his mind since they met Eriol the day before.
"Eriol must have known Kamui was going to pick to be a Seal!" Sorata began to wonder if the boy had been telling the truth when he had told the assembled group he didn't know who was going to win. He was also beginning to wish he had asked Eriol about his relationship with Ne-chan instead of about the "Promised Day".
"If Spinel is here, perhaps Kero-chan can come to visit. I know Kero-chan would like very much to have someone to play video games with while we are at school." Tomoyo smiled at everyone and then looked directly at Nokuru.
"I can not deny a woman anything," explained Nokuru with a gracious smile.
The other Seals sighed. Whatever this "Kero-chan" might be, they weren't sure they wanted to meet him. Daidouji-san finished the hem on the jacket and promised to have the other outfits ready for Kamui quickly. She then called her mother with her cell phone. With the jacket finished, Kamui dashed out of the room to change back to his school uniform without even saying good-bye. Daidouji-san said her farewells and Nokuru walked her out. "Are you sure you don't want to stay the night Daidouji-san?"
"My mother is sending the car," smiled Tomoyo at Imonoyama-san. "I'll be fine."
"Is your mother Sonomi Daidouji?" asked a curious Nokuru.
"Hai! Please say good-bye to Shirou-san for me. I will have the outfits ready. Hiragiizawa-kun said that Shirou-san would need them soon." Tomoyo exchanged a knowing look with Imonoyama-san.
A car pulled up with several female bodyguards and Tomoyo moved to get in. Before she got into the car she turned to Imonoyama-san, "Shirou-san is lucky to have such a protective father."
As the car sped off Nokuru Imonoyama chuckled. Daidouji-san was a very clever young woman.
Dinner was a much more raucous affair than usual, with Nokuru, Sorata, and Nakuru in very high spirits. None of them could resist on remarking on Kamui's newly found fashion sense.
"With an outfit like that Kamui is sure to get a husband," teased Sorata. "Hey Ne-chan! Would you wear something like that for me, black boots are pretty--OWWW!!!"
Arashi jabbed Sorata's hand with her fork and got up from the table to start on the dishes. When she got into the kitchen she found Spinel already working on them. At least this guardian seemed useful.
