Disclaimer: I don't own ANY of the CCS characters..this story is base of a movie I saw a long time ago..

**10 Years Later**

A 16-year-old Tomoyo sat outside on the footsteps of the courtyard along with Sakura watching the beautiful sight set outside. She sighed contently and smiled happily towards Sakura. Tomoyo was playing her flute that Sonomi had gotten her for her 16th birthday months ago as Sakura listened blissfully.

"Tomoyo, you play beautifully," commented Sakura as Tomoyo ended her piece.

"Thank you Sakura!" smiled Tomoyo.

Over the pass few years, Tomoyo and Sakura had become close friends to a point where Tomoyo saw Sakura as another older sister. The Daidouji family had taken Sakura in when she was about 14 years of age. They found her wondering the merciless streets of Sanukira. They happily took her in and took care of her ever since.

"Sakura.want to go into town with me? Please?" pleaded Tomoyo with puppy eyes.

Sakura tried to resist but knew she couldn't. She knew once Tomoyo set her mind on something it would be hard trying to convince her to change her mind. The two girls stood up and walked towards Tomoyo's room. Inside, Tomoyo changed her appearance into one of a male's and Sakura of a fair Lady of one' house.

"You look so pretty!" cried Tomoyo.

Sakura blushed faintly while Tomoyo giggled quietly. Sneaking out to the town.the two slipped out unnoticed and enter the noisy streets of Sanukira.

"Wow! I haven't been out here in years!

Things haven't change a bit!" exclaimed Tomoyo happily to Sakura. The two exhilarated girls walked down the many streets and alleys looking at everything their eyes caught sight of. Tomoyo grabbing onto Sakura excitedly, almost painfully so but still Sakura smiled and enjoyed her young mistress's excitement. They came upon a crowd and decided see what was happening. Tomoyo squeezed through the overcrowded Sakura following. They finally made it to the front and were amazed at what they saw. It was a young man around Tomoyo's age and was showing off some moves to the crowd on his astonishing swordsmanship. Tomoyo watched in awe at his how swift his sword move and how his body movement contributed to the sword movements, making him a very skilled sword fighter. She studied his fighting style. It was very different from her two sisters'. Tomoyo intently watched as the young man moved alongside with his sword. He then stopped, the crowd cheered and he picked up a container and walked around the crowd, which they offered money. As he neared Tomoyo and Sakura, Tomoyo took out a whole shilling and threw it in the container. He looked up at her with a surprise expression plastered upon his face while she just smiled politely. As the crowd slowly parted, Tomoyo and Sakura stayed behind.

"Excuse me sir," said Tomoyo softly as she walked towards the young man.

"Yes Miss?" he asked nonchalantly.

"I was wondering about your fighting style. It's really unique," Tomoyo commented.

"I guess," he said offhandedly.

"Can I ask of a favor?" she asked.

He looked at her unsure of what to say to respond to that but nodded his head slightly.

"I just wanted to know by any chance you could teach me how to fight like you." she trailed off.

"Lady Tomoyo! You shouldn't ask that of a stranger.

You know what Lord Kurenshi said," Sakura whispered to Tomoyo. She ignored it and looked at the young man with a quizzical look.

"Well.I'm not so sure. I don't except students." he said.

"I'm a fast learner! I wont be a bother I promise!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"But.if you don't want to teach me that I understand.if that's the case. can we at least be friends.?" Tomoyo continued.

"I travel alone. Friends is of no use to me," replied the man coldly.

"Oh." replied Tomoyo with hurt in her voice as she looked down at her foot.

"Sir! You cannot talk to my Lady like that!" blurted Sakura.

"Shh! Sakura! I'm still in disguise remember?" spoke Tomoyo softly.

"Your Lady?" asked the young man questioningly.

Sakura looked at Tomoyo uneasily and regret in her eyes. Tomoyo smiled reassuringly and looked toward the man.

"If I be a bothersome.then I will continue on my way. Thank you for your time sir," Tomoyo said as she and Sakura walked off into the distance.

The young man looked at the two walking off and abruptly continued with his business.

"I'm so very sorry Tomoyo!" cried Sakura.

"It's alright Sakura. Don't worry about it.

I'm not going to punish or use it against you ok?" Tomoyo said smiling gently. The two girls headed for home and quietly snuck back in unaware of the azure eyes watching their every move.
