SECRET REVEALED
Sakura gazed out the window from her seat, not paying attention to her teacher. As usual she had came late and just as usual, Mr. Tareda had given her a last warning. Everything seemed to be normal, but she had a strange feeling at the pit of her stomach overtime she saw Tomoyo.
It was the same feeling she had when she had gone to Tomoyo's house for Christmas for the first time. Tomoyo had said she had a surprise for her.
FLASHBACK
A five-year-old Sakura, with a flaming red blindfold tied around her eyes, stood infront of the huge doors of the Daidouji mension. Wind blew her hair as she frowned impatiently. "Tomoyo-chan!" she asked, "How long do I have to wait!" A five-year-old Tomoyo laughed, "Patience Sakura-chan, wait here for a moment ok, I'll see if the 'surprise is ready! " Sakura heard her running away. Her footsteps clinking lightly on a hard, stone floor.
Sakura huffed and crossed her tiny arms across her chests.
After what seemed like hours to her, she finally heard footsteps approaching her. "Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura called out excitedly, "Is it ready yet?" There was no answer. "Tomoyo-chan, are you there?" asked Sakura, her voice whimpering slightly as a sudden vision of ghosts clouded her mind. "Yes Sakura-chan." Tomoyo's voice suddenly broke out in the silence, showering Sakura with relief, suddenly Sakura frowned again. Something seemed wrong with her new friend. "Tomoyo-chan.Daijobu desu ka?"
There was a pause before Tomoyo spoke again, her voice normal now. "Um, Daijobu Sakura-chan." There was yet another pause. "Tomoyo-chan." Sakura whispered, a strange feeling emitted at the pit of her stomach that she had never felt before. "Oh! Gomen Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cried. Sakura felt the blindfold being slipped from her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard herself gasp. "You get to spend a whole day in my house Sakura-chan." Tomoyo cried excitedly as she took Sakura's hand and ran towards the mension.
Sakura ignored the feeling she felt in her heart. 'Your just imagining things,' she told herself as she followed Tomoyo inside, 'Tomoyo is happy'. 'Atleast' Sakura thought 'Tomoyo seemed happy.'
END FLASHBACK
"Sakura Kinomoto!" Sakura jumped up from her seat in alert. She heard a few people snicker. Mr. Tareda frowned at her, but it soon turned in to a kind smile as Sakura looked down in shame. "I know my classes must be very boring but do try to be alert." He joked. Sakura blushed, "Gomen Sensei." she mumbled as she sat back down. Two chocolate brown eyes looked with concern at the still blushing Sakura.
"Oay, Sakura-chan!" called out a certain chocolate eyed boy as he spotted Sakura and Tomoyo walking towards the large cherry blossom tree to have lunch. Tomoyo and Sakura turned around and broke in to identical smiles. "See you later Sakura-chan," said Tomoyo with a sly grin, "I understand you want some privacy."
Sakura's face immediately flamed up, as she understood what Tomoyo said. But unfortunately Tomoyo was gone and Syaoran was standing right in front of her.
"Are you ok?" he asked as he touched her forehead. Sakura's face darkened in to a deeper shade of red as she felt Sayoran's skin touched her's. Her heartbeat grew faster as Syaoran pulled away with a frown. 'He looks so cute when he frowns like that.' said a small voice in Sakura's head. Sakura's blush darkened
even more. What was happening to her these days? Just the sight of Syaoran wanted to make her run a hundred mile away from him. "You don't seem to have a fever." he said. He leaned down and looked at Sakura, deep in her eyes, "why are you blushing?"
Sakura laughed nervously as she took a few steps back from Syaoran, she thought her head would burst if she blushed even more and if she didn't move away from him a couple of inches. "Nothing, nothing at all, I just.ahhh." Sakura searched for words to describe exactly why she was blushing.
The problem was, she didn't quiet knew why herself. "She's blushing because her boyfriend just came." Said a voice from Sakura's right. Tomoyo had suddenly popped out of nowhere.
Sakura blushed more furiously but Sayoran's eyes darkened.
"Boyfriend?" he asked looking at Sakura with the I-want-to-know-who-she-is- talking-about look. Unfortunately for Syaoran and Sakura, Sakura didn't catch on quick and Tomoyo caught his signal.
"He has chestnut hair, deep amber eyes." she said cheerfully enjoying as each time Sayoran's eyes darkened in anger, "And he's right here!"
Tomoyo could see smoke of anger rising from his head just the way when Sakura had went away with Eriol.
"Ah.I think Chihiru-chan is calling me." Sakura said as she was about to step away from the two, but Tomoyo caught her arm as her eyes sparkled with amusement. "But Sakura-chan, I'm sure you can give some of your special time to your" her eyes sparkled again as they turned in to stars, "Boyfriend." That did it.
A few people looked up from their lunches as an atomic bum exploded right in their school. "Do you think we should warn Syaoran and Sakura on what they are in for?" asked Chihiru, looking at them with a sweat drop. "Nah." said Yamazaki, "We shouldn't steal away her happiness on making them suffer. (Sky: I know I'm making Syaoran even more dense then he really is but that will pay off!)
"Who." Syaoran growled but Tomoyo interrupted him. "Oh you know him, I'm sure you would recognize him when Sakura will kiss him right here, infront of everyone. His face will be very red and wouldn't be able to speak for a while."
Sakura's face ran cold at what she had heard Tomoyo say. A few people who overheard Tomoyo looked up in interest and soon a crowd formed around the three. Syaoran didn't notice them. Tomoyo ignored them, but Sakura was starting to blush again as she tried her best to run away from Tomoyo.
"This is not going to be good." she moaned.
"You bet it wouldn't." Syaoran growled.
For the first time Sakura noticed how scary Syaoran looked with a few of his hairs standing up as though a wolf was about to attack.
Sakura gulped. Syaoran sure can be dense when he wanted to be.
"I'll even show you the picture of them kissing if you want."
"Oh really." hissed Syaoran darkly through gritted teeth.
"Oh yes." Tomoyo said happily, "In just about three."
Tomoyo's hand tightened on Sakura's shirt.
"Two."
Sayoran's glared deepened.
"One."
The crowd hushed down excitedly. Sakura let out a low "Hoe," she knew she couldn't escape from Tomoyo.
"Now!"
It was as though someone had fast-forwarded her life. Tomoyo, with incredible force Sakura didn't know where she had been hiding, threw Sakura at Syaoran. Sayoran's eyes widened in surprise as Sakura came crashing on him and his arm automatically folded around her protectively, just as their lips touched.
There was a moment of silence as both Sayoran's and Sakura's world stopped spinning.
Suddenly as soon as a flash of light flashed on them, the crowd came out of their trance and started hooting and catcalling.
Syaoran and Sakura immediately broke apart with their faces as bright as tomatoes.
"Here it is Li-kun." Said Tomoyo happily as she showed him the picture of him and Sakura she had just taken.
Sayoran's face became redder as he stared at himself with Sakura.
"Daidouji." he hissed
"Well, gotta go!" said Tomoyo as she made an escape, but Sakura and Syaoran were not easy to get rid of.
They chased Tomoyo for a while when Tomoyo suddenly sprinted behind a wall Sakura and Syaoran right behind her.
But as they turned around, Tomoyo was nowhere to be seen. They halted for a moment, just to realize that they were out of breath with two aching feet.
Sakura and Syaoran panted as they leaned against the wall. "Do you see her?" Sakura asked, still panting from exhaustion. Her heart was beating faster then normal. "No." Syaoran panted, "How did she learned to run like that?! She just disappeared!" Sakura nodded, "She's even harder then catching the clow cards!" Sakura gasped.
There was silence as they both caught up with their breaths. "So.ah." Syaoran started, suddenly too nervous to say anything. Sakura felt herself blush again.
"Gomen nasai for what Tomoyo-chan did today Sayaoran-kun." She whispered softly.
"It's ok."
Sakura looked up at him in surprise and Syaoran felt a blush rising his neck. "I mean.you know."
Sakura smiled and stood up, she didn't felt so shy anymore. "Ashiteru Syaoran-kun." she whispered as she kissed him on the cheek. Syaoran could only blush in response.
**************************************************************************** ***********************************************
Sakura hummed happily as she walked out of the school gates after school. "Sakura-chan, matte!" She heard Meilin call. "Nandayo, Meilin-chan?" Sakura asked as Meilin caught up. "Are you going to Daidouji's?" Meilin asked
Sakura shook her head.
"Well now you are!" Meilin commanded, taking her hand and stomping ahead. "Hoe?" Sakura looked at Meilin in confusion, "But why do you need me Meilin- chan?" Meilin stopped and turned around. Sakura sweat-dropped to see two river of tears flowing down Meilin's face.
"Because I forgot the way Sakura-chan!!!" She cried.
A large fist slammed on her head. "Baka Meilin." Said Syaoran with a sweat-drop on his head and eyes semi closed. A vein popped out of Meilin's head and fist.
"Don't call me Baka you Baka!" Meilin cried which almost blew the two away to the next hill. She huffed and puffed before changing to her I'm-extra-sweet-if-you-do-as-I- say-or-feel-my-wrath image. "Shall we go Sakura-chan, Syaoran?" she asked sweetly, but the two saw the fire flicking in her eyes. "Ha-Hai!"
Sakura pressed the doorbell to the side huge iron gates and stepped back. "Who is it?" came a voice from the speaker. "Ah.Sakura Kinomoto with Li Syaoran and Li Meilin."
Meilin saw the camera moved towards them. She frowned at it and made a face. A vein popped out of the camera. "You may go in," said the voice though it sounded a little stiff.
Sakura and Syaoran walked in, followed by Meilin. But just as Meilin reached inside, the gates slammed shut, sending a chill down Meilin's back.
"Ha! Missed me!" she cried at the camera and started to walk off when she realized she wasn't moving. Looking back she paled to find her skirt stuck to the gates. A low evil laugh emitted from the speaker.
Meilin tried to break free but her skirt wouldn't come out. She looked infront to see Sakura and Syaoran hadn't realized that she was not with them. "Oay Syaoran!" she called
Syaoran turned around.
"Nandayo Meilin?" he asked, sounding a little annoyed. "My skirt's stuck in the gates!" Meilin wailed. Sakura moved foreword to help but Syaoran turned around. "Congratulations!" he yelled at Meilin, taking Sakura's hand and walking towards the mension.
A last blast was heard and just as Sakura was about to see what happened, Syaoran pulled her to the side, just as a red figure rushed down and slammed hard on the French doors.
Meilin collapsed back, twitching in pain as the door opened and Tomoyo's head popped out. "Ohayo minna." She said cheerfully, then she noticed Meilin on the ground. "Huh? What happened to Meilin-chan?"
Sakura sweat-dropped.
"She's in her normal state." Syaoran shrugged. "Well, come on in," said Tomoyo cheerfully as she turned around, "I'll have some refreshments ready for you, how does some lemonade and chocolate-chip cookies sound?" she asked, leading them to the dining room.
Sayoran's eyes lit up at the mention of chocolate as Sakura and Meilin agreed whole-heartedly.
"I'll bring your assigned music Meilin-chan," Tomoyo said as they three sat down, "It'll just take a minute."
"Since when did you get assigned for music?" Syaoran asked.
"Since I joined choir practice!" Meilin said proudly.
Syaoran made a noise that seemed like a half laugh and a snort.
"Make fun all you want!" she said haughtily, "We'll see who will be laughing when I'll dazzle everyone with my magnificent voice!"
"Maybe we should warn them to bring ear plugs." Syaoran muttered. "I'll go help Tomoyo-chan." Said Sakura quickly as she got up.
But Syaoran and Meilin didn't seemed to hear her.
"You're just jealous that I'm going to be popular and you'll stay a weirdo who doesn't let anyone come near him except a certain Cherry Blossom!"
Sayoran's face flamed up, "At least I don't out on crazy ways to make myself humiliated! Ha! Dazzle everyone indeed, I think not!"
Meilin stuck her tongue out at him, "Well everyone will think it is!"
Sakura sighed as a large sweat-drop appeared on her head.
She walked out of the dining room, gently closing the door behind him. Those two seemed to be always fighting.
She turned away from the door and found herself engulfed by darkness.
She suddenly realized how quiet the Daidouji mention was. Her heart began to beat faster.
And scary said a small voice in her head. Sakura ignored it as she walked a little ahead. There were faint voices coming from the other room right across the dining room. The door was ajar slightly. Curiosity taking over her, Sakura tiptoed towards the door as she heard Tomoyo's voice.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO UNDERSTAN OKAA-SAN!"
Sakura stiffled a gasp.
Tomoyo's heart was beating fast. She knew she was going to burst out if she didn't do something soon. She calmed down a little, holding back tears of pain and looked at her mother. Hatred spilling out of her eyes as she gazed down at her in disgust.
"I'm going to England tonight." She said in a low, cold voice that ran chills down both Sonomi and Sakura, "Not anymore delays Okaa-san, you have already done enough." "But.Tomoyo-chan.your school." "Do you think I care about that!" Tomoyo hissed as she tried to keep her voice low, "My sister had been sick for so many years and you didn't tell me, she died a year before and you didn't tell me, you kept me separated from my father and brother and you still don't want me to go to them!" Sakura gasped.
"It's time I decide what is right for my self Okaa-san," Tomoyo added softly as a tear slipped down her eye,
"You don't know what is right or wrong, you will never understand!" cried Sonomi as tears flew freely down her face. She paused as she looked at Tomoyo, there was no need to get angry. "I only did what was best for you Tomoyo, I am your mother and don't you forget that!"
"I have a father and a brother and don't YOU forget that!" Tomoyo cried out suddenly. She couldn't hold it in her anymore. All the frustration, pain and anger she had kept trapped inside her was spilling out uncontrollably. For a moment Tomoyo couldn't speak with the pressure of all the powerful emotions over powering her body. But she didn't need to. Sonomi gazed in shock as Tomoyo's eyes flashed a series of emotions a child her age shouldn't or even a woman her age should be feeling.
"I'm going to England tonight.Ririko-chan had bought me the tickets." Tomoyo said finally, as she struggled to keep herself calm. A huge headache had engulfed her head.
Sonomi threw an angry look at Ririko.
"Ririko-chan is going with me Okaa-san." Tomoyo said. There was no emotion in her eyes anymore.
Tomoyo walked away from the room before Sonomi could say anything.
Just as she opened the door, her heart stopped for a minute.
Sakura was standing before her, tears streaming down her eyes as she clasped her two hands to her heart.
"Tomoyo-chan." she whispered.
Tomoyo finally let her tears fall down and Sakura rushed to hug her.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo-chan." Tomoyo smiled through her tears, "Daijobu Sakura-chan," she whispered, hugging her back as Sakura began sobbing on her shoulder.
"Why didn't you tell me Tomoyo-chan?" asked Sakura as she pulled away from Tomoyo.
Tomoyo smiled weakly and shook her head, she couldn't talk anymore. Her face crumbled again and she buried her face in her hands trying to gain control. Sakura patted her back comfortingly.
"I'm coming with you Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said.
Tomoyo shook her head.
"I don't want to hear anything, I'm coming with you," Sakura said determinedly through her tears, "And don't cry or you'll make me cry all over again."
Tomoyo smiled again as she burst in to tears.
Sakura just hugged her, not saying anything.
Sakura gazed out the window from her seat, not paying attention to her teacher. As usual she had came late and just as usual, Mr. Tareda had given her a last warning. Everything seemed to be normal, but she had a strange feeling at the pit of her stomach overtime she saw Tomoyo.

Tomoyo smiled weakly and shook her head, she couldn't talk anymore. Her face crumbled again and she buried her face in her hands trying to gain control. Sakura patted her back comfortingly.
"I'm coming with you Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said.
Tomoyo shook her head.
"I don't want to hear anything, I'm coming with you," Sakura said determinedly through her tears, "And don't cry or you'll make me cry all over again."
Tomoyo smiled again as she burst in to tears.
Sakura just hugged her, not saying anything.
