Tomoyo sighed as she sipped her tea. Sakura watched her and sighed, too. "I don't understand why Iron Maiden Jane hates you so much," said Sakura. Tomoyo kept quiet.
p
The both of them were having tea in Tomoyo's house. It had been a week since Tomoyo had finished her recording and it'll be a few days more before her record will go public. One of her songs is already being played in the radio.
p
"But at least you have your record to look forward to," Sakura added hastily. "I can't wait! I'm definitely going to buy it!"
p
Tomoyo smiled. "You don't have to…"
p
"No, I must! You're my best friend, Tomoyo-chan, it'll seem rude to not buy something you worked so hard on."
p
"You already gave me the support I need. I can't ask for anything more. Although…" Tomoyo pulled her camcorder out of nowhere. "I wish I could publicize my recordings on your Cardcaptoring days! You looked so beautiful and cute in my costumes!"
p
Sakura sweat-dropped. "Tomoyo-chan…"
p
"That reminds me, I have a costume I want you to wear. Ever since you stopped being a Cardcaptor, I had no opportunity to get you in my costumes! And then I'll record you with my brand new camcorder with special editing and voice mixing!"
p
Sakura's sweat-drop grew bigger. "Hoeeeee!"

"That Daidoji sure is talented," said Amidamaru to Yoh. The both of them together with Manta on their way back from shopping. (Anna has demanded dinner early) "That kind of voice is very rare!"
p
"Don't I know it!" said Yoh, grinning. "Even Anna admitted that she has pure talent."
p
"If Anna-san says that then Daidoji will be a sure hit once her record is out," said Manta, smiling happily. "I'm definitely going to buy it!"
p
"I might if Anna will give me some extra money," said Yoh, smiling uncertainly. Anna is very strict when it comes to money.
p
"Don't worry, I'll buy one for you," said Manta. "Early birthday present."
p
"Really? Thank you, Manta!"
p
"Yoh-dono, will you let me hear her voice again?" said Amidamaru, clasping his hands expectantly. "Her voice is just like an angel…"
p
Yoh laughed. "I think Amidamaru is in love."
p
Even Manta laughed. "I'm willing to buy 100 albums if I want. That Daidoji is surely talented. She's making us go crazy over her."
p
The three of them nodded.

p
Tokagero floated around boringly wondering where could Ryu be. It was not like him to leave without telling anyone. "Ryu?"
p
He heard noises coming from behind the back. A sort of evil laughter. Tokagero followed it.
p
Ryu was laughing evilly at the stolen picture he took of Tomoyo and Sakura during the recording. In the picture, Tomoyo was smiling sweetly as Sakura talked to her. "Soon… soon I'll have it."
p
"Have what?" said Tokagero.
p
Ryu jumped. "HUUUAAAARRRGGGHHH!!! Tokagero!"
p
"What is it with you? Jumping like a maniac!" Tokagero saw the picture. "Where did you get that?"
p
Ryu laughed again. "I took this picture during the recording. Isn't she beautiful?"
p
"Whatever..." said Tokagero, lightly blushing. He had to admit Tomoyo was pretty and talented. "But why are you laughing? What's so funny about the picture?"
p
Ryu grinned widely. "I'm going to buy her album soon. I'm just thinking about what kind of pictures they'll put in there. Will she be posing in a swimsuit? Or maybe a cat suit? Maybe those hipsters those youngsters use these days? Hmm… maybe she has her belly pierced…"
p
Tokagero sweat-dropped. "That's too far, Ryu!"
p
Ryu laughed evilly again.

"Erm... Bilika..." said Horo Horo, lightly fidgeting.
p
"What is it, Onii-chan?" said Bilika lazily as she looked at the variety of headbands in one of the local stores.
p
"How much... money do we have left?"
p
Bilika blinked. "Why?"
p
"Well... there's this talented singer I heard and I... want to buy her album." Horo Horo blushed.
p
Bilika narrowed her eyes. "Onii-chan, what's wrong with you?"
p
"Just please let me buy it, Bilika! I promise to train harder and do most of the chores if you'd let me buy it!"
p
Bilika blinked again. Twice. "I actually wanted to give it to you anyway, Onii-chan."
p
"Eh?"
p
"You've been training very hard and working so hard at that field. A treat will do you good."
p
Horo Horo went starry eyed. "Bilika...!"
p
"But since you made that offer so okay! Now I'll have to make plans on what sort of tough training I should make for you."
p
Horo Horo stumbled to the floor. "Bilika..."

p
Syaoran and Eriol were playing basketball together. Eriol made a shot and it went straight in. Syaoran whistled in awe.
p
"Hey, Eriol, I wanted to ask..." said Syaoran.
p
"What?"
p
"You like Daidoji?"
p
Eriol made a shot again, but it missed. When Syaoran saw that, he smiled.
p
"Never mind," said Syaoran. "Are you going to buy her album?"
p
Eriol nodded. "Definitely. We are talking about Daidoji." He passed the ball to Syaoran.
p
Syaoran blinked. "You called her 'Tomoyo' last time I checked." Syaoran bounced the ball a few times. Then made a shot. It hit the ring, but managed to enter.
p
Eriol's ears turned lightly pink. "So I did..."
p
"I wonder what's Iron Maiden Jane's problem, though. And, wow, she called you by your first name, too. Ain't that something?"
p
"Sure is..." said Eriol in a nonchalant voice. "Are you going to buy an album?"
p
"Of Daidoji? Definitely. My sisters heard that song she sang on the radio and demanding to get her album."
p
"So you're sending them one?"
p
"Four. Each of them wants one individually."
p
Now Eriol whistled in awe. "Is it just me or am I thinking a lot of people will buy her album?"
p
"You're not the only one. I think so, too."
p
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
p
Tao Jun skipped happily to Ren's room. "Ren!" she sang. "There you are!"
p
"What do you want, Nee-chan?" said Ren, looking at his sister. She looks extremely happy...
p
"I heard you went to see Marco's new client, Daidoji Tomoyo, right?"
p
"Yeah. So?"
p
"Well, I was hoping you could buy me her album. It's coming out soon... I love her voice, she's so talented, and so I just have to get it. Could you get it for me, Ren? Please? Pretty please?"
p
Ren narrowed his eyes. When his sister acts childish, it's a way of saying 'Get it or else'. He definitely doesn't want the 'Or else' part. "Fine."
p
Jun jumped in delight. "Then could you also get me to meet an autograph?"
p
Ren sweat-dropped. "Fine."
p
"Is there any chance you could get me to meet her in person? Who knows, maybe we could be fast friends!"
p
Ren's sweat-drop grew. "Fine."
p
"And, oh yes, Ren..."
p
"What do you want now, Nee-chan?"
p
Jun noticed his irritated attitude. Then smiled. "I love you!"
p
"Urgh!"

Lyserg sighed as he put his book down. "Man, reading too long is not good for the eyes…" He closed his eyes.
p
Morphy then sat on his shoulder. It made Lyserg smile. "I'm glad you're with me Morphy. I've been wondering…" He looked at his room filled with Iron Maiden Jane posters and a stack of albums all hers.
p
Lyserg sighed. "You know what, Morphy? I'm in a right mind to buy Daidoji's album. But I'm worried it might make Jianu-sama angry. What do you think?"
p
Morphy, remembering Daidoji's voice, smiled happily. She made a nod of approval.
p
"You like her voice, don't you, Morphy? She's really talented. That's why I want to buy her album. Should I?"
p
Morphy nodded again. She fluttered her wings approvingly.
p
"If you put it that way, then maybe I will. I wonder how's Jianu-sama, though…"
p
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
p
"WHAT DID YOU SAY???????" screamed Iron Maiden Jane.
p
"Yes, according to the survey, 80% of the public are willing to buy Daidoji's album just after hearing one song from her," said Marco, happily.
p
"You can't be serious!"
p
"Oh yes, I really am. In this way, my little star is going to make me rich…" Marco then gave out a loud laugh.
p
Iron Maiden Jane stomped to her changing room and slammed the door. "Damn it! What kind of powers does that Daidoji have? She managed to enchant the public more than me! I refuse to believe that this is real talent! There's no way a mere human could have that sort of hold on other humans for they're weak! I must find a way to stop that Daidoji! I must, or else I'll lose all of my popularity for good!"

p
On the day Tomoyo's album was going to be released, Sakura and Tomoyo decided to go shopping with Syaoran and Eriol. Sakura and the boys wanted to buy Tomoyo's album so they went there early morning.
p
What they saw at the store amazed them.
p
"Hoe..." went Sakura. "What a long line of people."
p
"The shop hasn't even opened yet," said Syaoran.
p
Then the doors to the store instantly opened. The crowd rushed in and grabbed Tomoyo's album instantly.
p
The four of them went dot-eyed. "Wow..." said Syaoran.
p
Suddenly, the crowd started screaming.
p
"Look! There she is!"
p
"Daidoji!"
p
"It is?"
p
"It is!"
p
They crowded around Tomoyo, making her separated from the three. "Ah!" she cried.
p
"Can I have your autograph?"
p
"I'm your biggest fan!"
p
"I love you Daidoji!"
p
"Marry me!"
p
"Sign my album!"
p
"Sign my ass!"
p
Tomoyo squealed as they grabbed her in all directions, all of them trying to get her attention. "Please, stop it!"
p
"Tomoyo-chan!" cried Sakura. "Oh no!"
p
Eriol then bulldozed his way through the crowd, and then grabbed Tomoyo's hand. "Ah!" went Tomoyo.
p
Eriol then carried her. The crowd screamed in protest. Using a bit of magic, he jumped two stories high and out of the crowd.
p
The crowd tried their best to follow the high jumping Eriol, but he was too fast. Syaoran then grabbed Sakura's hand and ran in the opposite direction. "Where are we going?"
p
"To the place where Hiiragizawa is taking Daidoji. Home."
p
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
p
Tomoyo took a deep, shaky breath as Eriol laid her down on her couch. "Are you okay?" asked Eriol.
p
Tomoyo nodded, still shaken.
p
"I'll get you some water."
p
Tomoyo closed her eyes for a moment. The way everyone was grabbing on to her gave her shivers. The doorbell rang. Tomoyo then checked who it was.
p
Syaoran and Sakura stood there, looking around worryingly. Tomoyo opened the gates and they ran in.
p
"Tomoyo-chan, are you okay?" cried Sakura as she hugged her best friend supportingly.
p
"Um..." went Tomoyo.
p
"That was terrible!" cried Syaoran. "I've never seen anything so freaky in my life!"
p
Eriol brought the water. Tomoyo drank it appreciatively. "I forgot to thank you..." said Tomoyo, looking at Eriol. "Thank you very much."
p
Eriol smiled warmly. "You're welcome."
p
Tomoyo's phone rang. She picked it up. "Yes?"
p
"MY STAR!" screamed Marco.
p
Tomoyo dropped her phone in surprise (and in pain). Marco's voice could be heard a mile away. "Your albums are being sold like hotcakes! The numbers are increasing and this is only one day alone! My star, you've done it! Now you're not only my star, your everyone's star!"
p
Eriol picked up the phone. "Excuse me, but she's not able to hear now thanks to you."
p
"Really? Oh no! I'll get a doctor right away!"
p
"No need. She can't get out of the house now. Not without getting ambushed by a huge mob of fans."
p
"That's what it's like in the world of the popular, boy!"
p
Sakura grabbed the phone. "Tomoyo-chan almost got hurt because of that!"
p
"If that's the case then I'll get her some bodyguards."
p
"She already has them!"
p
"Then what's the problem?"
p
Before Sakura could say anymore, Tomoyo grabbed the phone. "There's no problem. I'm sorry but I have to go."
p
"But, my star-!" *click*
p
Tomoyo sighed. "What am I going to do?"
p
"About the crowd?" said Sakura.
p
"No, about Marco..."
p
