Coming Home

Disclaimer: Now lets see… do I look like Clamp? I didn't think so I don't own Card Captor Sakura

Couples: T+E, S+S, M+?

Summery: Tomoyo goes on an exchange for a year and comes back to find that everyone has changed (including herself) and aren't hanging around each other can Tomoyo bring back everyone together?

Prologue I got it! I can't believe it! I'm actually going America for a whole year! Tomoyo Daidouji thought to herself going up to her best friend Sakura Kinomoto's home and knocking on the door. "Daidouji-san you know you don't have to knock on the door you can just walk in" Touya Kinomoto, Sakura's older brother said with surprise. "Gomen Kinomoto-kun, is Sakura-san home?" Tomoyo said trying to hold her excitement in. "Hai, Kujuu is up in her room go on up" Tomoyo thanked him and went up stairs and knocked on Sakura's door. "Touya what- Oh hi Tomoyo" Sakura said with a smile. Sakura was now 14 years old (same age as Tomoyo) and she had grown her hair out and today she had it tied up in a high ponytail she also had on a light pink singlet top and dark blue jeans.

"Sakura you'll never believe it!" Tomoyo said with excitement and with out waiting for a reply from her she told Sakura the whole story.

"HOE! Your going to America for a whole year?????? Oh Tomoyo I'm going to miss you so much!" Sakura said throwing her arms around her best friend. When they had parted Sakura went onto a more serious subject.

"What are you going to tell Eriol?"

Over the next hour Sakura and Tomoyo went over the best way to tell Eriol.

"This is hopeless! I bet Eriol didn't have to spend this much time wondering how to tell me when he was going back to England" Tomoyo pointed out.

"Yeah but you two weren't going out then" Sakura replied.

"True…maybe I could just write him a letter explaining everything and sending it when I get there"

"But Tomoyo he'll be heart broken, when Syaoran told me he was leaving to go back to China I was disappointed for days remember? And that was when he TOLD me" Tomoyo nodded.

"I think I should go over there now and just say what's in my heart" Sakura nodded.

"That could work…" Tomoyo gave Sakura a big hug.

"You know I'm going to miss you this year"

"So am I Tomoyo, So am I"

2 days later

Tomoyo was packed and ready to go. (She was leaving tomorrow morning) She had had a tearful goodbye with Eriol (well she was the one that was crying) and had her surprise going away party (Eriol came over to take her to dinner but instead took her over to Chiharu's house saying that he needed to pick up something) While there Kero had made her promise to bring back some American pudding and Yamazaki started to tell her one of his stories but had gotten dragged off by Chicharu.

Ring, Ring

Tomoyo's thoughts where interrupted by her phone going off.

"Moshi, Moshi" Tomoyo answered.

"I'm going to miss you so much" It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who it was.

"So am I Eriol are you coming to the airport tomorrow?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yeah so are Sakura, Syaoran, Kero, Touya, Yukito, Meling, Chiharu and Yamazaki"

"Basically everyone then" Tomoyo giggled.

"Yeah…" Eriol fell silent.

"Eriol?" Tomoyo asked in fear that he had hung up.

"Sorry just thinking about everything we've been through"

"Yeah… remember the Kaho cards?"

"Yeah…" They fell silent thinking about the Kaho cards* (now the Tomoyo cards) and the Clow Cards (Now the Sakura Cards) Tomoyo remembered when she had opened up the Kaho book purely by accident.  There she had met up with one of her gardeins Kuru- who looked a lot like Kero but was green and had no wings. Sakura hadn't wanted to capture another set of cards but she did help Tomoyo from time to time.

"Tomoyo you are bring Kuru and Kara with you right?"

"Eriol of course I am! Kara's going to pose as one of my teachers and I'm going to use the whole 'stuffed animal thing'"

"I AM NOT A STUFFED ANIMAL!" Kuru exploded looking up from a book that she was reading. "I am Kurukata the gardein best of the Kaho cards" Tomoyo heard laughing from Eriol

"I take it she heard that then" they where silent for a while.

"Can I come over tonight?" Eriol asked

"Mum wants one last meal tonight but you could come over around 8 o'clock" Tomoyo suggested.

"Alright I'll see you then"

"Sayonara"

"Sayonara"
