At The End
Mizutenshiai
Chapter Two
"I wonder whose baby this is." Touya asked curiously as he began poking the baby. After a while, he came across a very elegant jade that the baby was holding. The jade was quite beautiful. It was...well...it was green. It had a phoenix on one side, with its wings spread, ready to take flight, with petals floated down gently. On the back of the jade, the name 'Tomoyo' was inscribed on it. "Wow. This is a pretty jade...Tomoyo...is that your name?"
"Touya! Come on! We're leaving." Fujitaka announced coming down to the beach.
"But...dad...I found a baby." Touya informed his father.
"What? Hmmn...Maybe someone left her here...lets take her home for now, she looks hungry." Fujitaka said as he picked up the basket and took Touya by the hands. Together they walked home, side by side, each, holding a baby in their arms.
10 years later
"Wake up Sakura!" a rraven-haired girl yelled, but it didn't work.
"Tomoyo, step back, cover your ears, and watch the master do his thing." a little yellow stuffed animal said confidently. He took out a gong and held it next to Sakura's ears. Taking a deep breath, he struck it. GONG! It bellowed. Sakura's eyes instantly shot open.
"KERO! I'm going to kill you!" She shrieked as she scrambled out of bed, but instead ended up tangling her self in the sheets, thus falling flat on her face. Knock the door opened. Kero instantly dropped onto the bed, the gong still in hand...or paws... Touya peered in.
"There's a frog in here?" Touya asked upon hearing Sakura scream Kero.
"No, you must have hearing problems. I didn't scream frog out, right? Tomoyo? I didn't scream frog out. I think you need to see the doctor. " Sakura said really quickly as her head popped up from the floor.
"Alright..." He said skeptically as he eyed Kero suspiciously. Glancing at Sakura, he shook his head. "Kaijuus will always be Kaijuus." He said as he shut the door.
"I AM NOT MONSTER!" Sakura screamed. Tomoyo giggled. "It's not funny." Sakura said plainly.
"Okay, Okay... now, get dressed, we need to go to..." Tomoyo started, but glanced around before continuing. "The school." She whispered.
"Oh yeah... that place." Sakura said to herself as she changed. They both changed into male clothing before running downstairs and out the door, but not before shouting, "Dad! We're going to the beach!"
They ran through the crowds and finally reached a little shop. They walked inside and settled down on the mats all the way in the back of the room. After a while, everyone settled down and the teacher walked in.
"Class, today, we will have a new student joining this martial arts class. The class chattered amongst themselves excitedly, not noticing a little brown haired boy who walked in.
"Crap!" Sakura and Tomoyo both sighed as they slumped down, trying to be as unnoticed as much as possible. Sakura quickly shielded her aura too.
"Alright class, settle down, it's not that big of a deal. The new student is him." He announced pointing at a little boy besides him. The boy was around the height of 5 feet, not really short for his age. He had amber eyes, and messy brown hair. On his face, was an emotionless expression. "So, tell us something about yourself." The teacher declared.
"My name is Li Syaoran." Syaoran said coldly. His eyes wandered around the room, landing on two students in the back, squirming around in their seat, as if they were hiding something. 'How peculiar...' He thought to himself.
"Syaroan...now, just choose any seat you want, and sit because I do not believe in assigned seats. Syaoran walked towards the back, when a boy with black hair stopped him.
"Ohayo! I am Takashi Yamazaki, would you like to sit next to me?" He asked.
"Umm...uh...sure." Syaoran replied uneasily and a bit hesitant.
"Now, today, I will go over kicks and punches with everyone." The teacher announced as he began the lesson.
After School
"Come on Tomoyo! Hurry up, let's leave" Sakura rushed her friend.
"Alright, alright, let's go." Tomoyo replied as the two sped out of the room.
Syaoran's POV
I thought they were weird when I first saw then and now, they just sped out of the room. Something is definitely up...I wonder...I did sense a familiar aura when I first came into this building... I quickly walked out of the classroom and quicken my pace when I saw them. As I gained on to them, I could hear their conversation.
"We better hurry up or Syaoran might recognize us and then tell dad and the we would be in big trouble." I heard the one with the auburn hair speak. It MUST be Sakura. No doubt about it. I continued to listen.
"Syaoran isn't that mean is he? I mean, he was your rival when you two were still capturing cards, but I don't think that he would tell your dad if he finds out. " The one with raven hair reasoned. That must be Tomoyo.
"Damn right I won't." I declared as I tapped them on the shoulders. They jumped. Sakura turned around and glared at me.
"Who do you think you are mister? Eavesdropping on us like that!" She demanded.
"Oh, nothing, I just found you two quite suspicious, so I decided to follow you." I replied with a smirk. "Does your father know about you two sneaking out dressed as guys?" I asked, a little concerned. I mean, what if they found out? It would be a disgrace to their family. (I'm not sure about for Japanese, but for Chinese people, it was a disgrace if girls show their face in public back then)
"We didn't SNEAK out! We told him we were going out." Tomoyo reasoned with me.
"To where?" I questioned with a smirk.
"To the beach..." Sakura mumbled. I knew them too well to actually believe that they told their father that they were going to go to a martial arts school.
"So you lied?" I asked them.
"We didn't lie. Lying is too harsh of a word...lets just say that we stretched the truth a bit." Tomoyo said with a smile.
"In other words, you lied." I said in amusement as I watched the smile disappear from Tomoyo's face and turn into a frown. This time, Sakura spoke...well...you couldn't say spoke...cause she didn't really say anything...it was more like a sound: "erm..." I shook my head in disapproval. "Did you have breakfast yet?" I asked them curiously.
"Nope!" Sakura answered proudly.
"Well, then, follow me, we can have lunch at my place, and then you could change before going home, I doubt that your father will be pleased when he finds out that you two left the house dressed as boys. Besides, my mom has been bugging me about bringing the card mistress home so you can have a little chat with the elders.." I said, indicating the last thing to Sakura.
"Ummm...Okay..." Sakura replied uneasily.
Syaoran's house
Upon arriving at Syaoran's house, Syaoran gave Sakura and Tomoyo some of his sister's clothes to change into, so the elders wouldn't question Sakura about her wardrobe. After they changed, they walked to the kitchen where Syaoran's cook gave them breakfast. They sat down at the dining table, eating, while Syaoran watched them. When Sakura was finished, Syaoran walked inside room and came out with his mother, Li Yelan.
"Ah, Sakura! How are you? Why don't you come in and we can sit down and have a little chat?" Yelan asked nicely. Sakura gulped.
Sakura's POV
A little chat? I didn't have one of those ever since father punished me for going out dressed as a guy... can I back out? I don't want a little chat... I looked at Syaoran, pleading for help. He smirked...That BUM! He smirked and mouthed: Have fun! How dare he?
Normal POV
Sakura walked into the room and prepared to take what ever they threw at her. "Alright, lets get straight to the point." One of the elders said.
"Yes, We've set up this little chat to inform you of something. " Another said.
"Er..." was Sakura's brilliant reponse.
"There will be a young hero coming soon. He will journey here on a mission, which will help bring rise a fallen kingdom. You must accompany him on his mission." The last elder said. Sakura blinked twice, slowly interpreting the information in her mind, finally, she nodded her head in response.
"Good. You may go now." Yelan said smiling.
In the Market place
"So, what did they want to talk about?" Tomoyo asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing, just something about aiding a young hero..." Sakura replied nonchalantly.
"Ooooh" Tomoyo commented. Just then, she bumped into a woman. "I'm sorry!" Tomoyo apologized as she bent down to help the woman pick up the oranges that she dropped, accidentally dropping her own possession. The woman spotted it and picked it up.
"Is this yo--" She started, but stopped abruptly when she glanced at it. It was a jade; a green one to be exact. With a phoenix on one side and a name inscribed on the other side, it was the same one I described earlier in the chapter. Tomoyo looked at what the woman was holding and reached into her belt, indeed, this was her jade.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I dropped that..." Tomoyo said as she reached for the jade.
"Tell me, where did you get this?" The woman demanded worriedly.
"I've had since I was born..." Tomoyo replied a little scared. The woman looked at Tomoyo with tears in her eyes. "Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked worriedly.
"It's just that, I gave a jade to my daughter when she was a baby, her name was Tomoyo... but, she was sadly taken away when she was born. " The woman explained. Tomoyo looked at the woman with sadness, it was indeed a sad thing. It was like her past. How she was separated from her parents, or was it that they just did want her? This question still lingered in her mind.
"It's okay, you'll reunite with her one day." Tomoyo said, trying to comfort the woman.
"Yes, I think I will, here is your jade." The woman said wiping her tears.
"Alright, bye." Tomoyo said as she and Sakura left.
Sonomi's POV
I will not claim her as my daughter yet, that will raise suspicions, it might endanger her. As for now, I am happy that she did not die; I hope that she will live a happy life, and if, in the future, there is the 'right' time, I shall confront her with her identity.
