Chapter 14: Grown up Christmas wish
"England is decorated for Christmas all over the country and it's very lovely don't you think so Eriol?" Kaho ask the man at her far end
"...:"
"Why don't we go out and celebrate like what the rest of the people do this day, surely you don't want to just sit here and do nothing" The red hair woman said looking at him
A knock came from the door and Nakuru came in carrying a plate of biscuits, 3 glasses of juices in a tray while her partner Spinnel follow her from behind
"Master I am so sorry to butt in, but I also like her idea to go out and have some fun in the snow" Nakuru said while putting down the tray and serving them the juices.
"You three can always go out; you don't have to include me. I'm not just in the mood sorry" Eriol stood up from his red favorite chair and started to walk towards the door.
He was about to leave when Kaho began talking again
"Well suit yourself just don't get upset if you don't received any gifts from us" Kaho said teasingly
Eriol look back, raising one eyebrow. "I'm not a child anymore, Kaho, so..." he was stopped to see he swinging a small envelope with her fingers. He look at them questioningly
"That letter came from Miss Tomoyo. She left it to me before she left" Nakuru confesses
"She did? And why didn't you give it to me in the first place?" he ask her guardian but Spinnel is the one who answer back
"Can you blame her? After all your "Leave-me-alone" thing" the black cat teased. But Eriol didn't laugh, just shot him a glare "Just kidding"
"So let's make a deal, come with us and will take you to a special place there we'll give you this letter" Kaho brought back the topic again
"You're good at this you know Kaho, black mailing. Anyway aren't you supposed to leave here 1 month ago?" he note
"Oh I'm not black mailing you, in fact I'm doing you a favor, besides there has been some changes after what happened a month ago that cause my delay" Kaho reasoned
"Changes?" he ask with suspicion
But Kaho and the rest didn't answer him but gave him a very sweet smile. Eriol sigh.
"Fine, let's go just let me get my jacket"
In Japan, snow has started to fall. Every one has gathered in the Tomoeda Park for the fireworks in the Christmas Eve. The sound of the doorbell made Tomoyo look at the door which she just passes before going to the music room.
"Now who would come here this late?" she thought as she walks towards the door to open it "Could it be?"
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!"
Tomoyo was taken by surprised which made her loss her balance, but one of her visitors is quick enough to make a move. Tomoyo shut her eyes as she expects to hit the floor but there is no impact.
"Geez Tomoyo, you gotta reduce some weight, you're heavy. But then again not as heavy as my master here and the noisy brat besides her" The flying stuff toy commented.
"Hey" The two girls exclaimed
"What?" Tomoyo open her eyes and was surprised to see Syouran extending his arms to help her which she gladly took.
"Nice to see you again, Tomoyo; You still look angelic even this past few years" the chestnut boy commented
"Why thank you, Syouran kun. You still look cute like forever" as she goggle then a pair of arms envelope her.
"Tomoyo chan, I miss you so much! It's like forever after we get separated" Sakura said while crying
"I miss you guys too, especially you Sakura chan"
"Honto?"
"Hai1"
"What about me? After saving you and all" The flying staff toy said dramatically
"Of course, you too, Kero chan"
Then a feminine voice greeted them at the end of the stairs. Kero immediately play dead again
"My, so you guys have finally decided to go back here. Are you here just to celebrate Christmas?" Sonomi ask
"No, we were planning to stay here until New Year. I think that is enough time to visit and be with you guys again" It was Fujitaka who answer
"Really, then may I suggest you all stay here because as I remember you have already sold your house here in Tomoeda" Sonomi said claping her hands then 3 servants came out to greet them.
The servants took their bags and other staffs
"Thank you so much, Miss Sonomi" Fujitaka said
"Just Sonomi, it has been years and I have already over come Nadishiko's death. Besides it's Christmas so let's avoid formalities, okay" Sonomi look at her daughter and saw that her cheerfulness has regain a little bit
"Oh my, I have totally forgotten the Daidouji Toy Company is celebrating a Christmas Party today at the Tomoeda Park. Why don't we all go there since it's already Christmas Eve and also to celebrate your safe return" Sonomi suggested
"But how about our things?" Meiling ask
"Just leave them to our maids, they'll take care all your belongings and prepare your rooms" Tomoyo guarantee
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's GO!!" Sakura cheered
In the Tomoeda Park…
"Thank you for our last presenter for their wonderful dance number. Now Let us welcome another guest who is the very own daughter of our President and Founder, A great singer even with her younger days and until now she's even more beautiful. Ladies and gentlemen let's welcome Miss Tomoyo Daidouji…" the Host said as the guest cheers.
Tomoyo walk up to the stage and took the microphone
"Thank you all guys for supporting my mom's company and yours too because of all the hard work you have done. Without you guys I won't be able to reunite with my mother and also have this Christmas party. I'm going to sing one of Britney's song, I hope you like them." Tomoyo intro.
Then slowly the cheerful music began to play…Meanwhile at the front table
"So, does all the Camera ready?" Sonomi ask
"All of them, I even saw NHK and CLAMP here to televise this part" Meiling inform
"Well that's because I ask them too, I want everybody around the world to know Tomoyo Daidouji, the future Songstress in Japan." Sakura said giving a wink to her Aunt
"Well you made a pretty good job in doing that, look"
Syouran let them see his text massage from Hong Kong, It's from one of her sisters…
'Hey I just scan the TV only to see your cute face in NHK. And was that Tomoyo who is about to sing. I'll call everyone to watch this channel, okay, and regards to everyone!'
The four of them giggle until Fujitaka interrupted them
"It's about to start"
"Last

"Shut Up, you flying, talking staff animal"
"I

Sonomi walk to the other microphone
"Everyone is invited to make dance of their life come on, don't be shy"
Syouran began to stand up and offered a hand to Sakura
"Shall we?" he offered
"Sure"
And the couple began to dance
"Are you just going to sit here and wait?" KEro ask the Chinese girl
"Not a chance, come on" as Meiling too drag herself on the dance floor
And every started dancing on the dance floor
"Santa can you hear me?

Tomoyo started to walk out of the stage while singing and began to dance with her friends. Then she gave Sakura the microphone for the next line
"Christmas

Tell me my true love is near

As her final note ended a tears that form finally fell out fro her amethyst eyes when she bowed. And after that she immediately flash them a sweet yet cheerful smile.
Tomoyo take her seat and also the rest of them
"You never loose your touch Tomoyo chan" Fujitaka said
"Thank you very much" Tomoyo blush a little
"Now, we are done eating, singing, dancing and all now all that is left for us to do to make our Christmas wish. This is the latest toy product of the Daidouji Company, the wishing candle. You just have to come here at the same time to receive your Christmas gifts form our President, Mrs. Daidoujui." The Host announced
Sonomi walk up to the stage and began to take out some list
"Okay let us begin now, or we wont be able to go home with our family to celebrate Christmas with them" Sonomi said and everyone giggle "Right so please come here to the stage in a single line. The candles are shaped into different style and color, you won't be able to choose because you have to draw them. But don't worry every one is a winner here so let's not loose hope"
The line was long that made Sakura's gang to wait. Everyone is chit chating and all, Fujitaka has already found out about Kero and Sakura being the new Card Mistress so it wasn't a problem to share some secrets and all, not until 2 masculine voices interrupted them
"So there you are my little monster" Touya greeted
"Big Brother" Sakura jump to her brother's arms then kick his foot "I'm not a monster idiot"
"Merry Christmas too" It was Yukito
"Hello there Touya kun, Yukito kun, how's your flight?" Fujitaka ask
"Well we have managed to get here on time right so it was fine except for the fact carrying all this luggage and gifts from England is quite heavy" Touya reasones
"Gifts from England? Where are they?" Meiling excitedly ask
"Are there any food in there or something sweet?" Kero ask
"Oh we left them at the Daidouji and yes there are lots of sweet foods too" Yukito said smiling to his partner guardian
"But how did you know that we are staying the Daidouji mansion?" Syouran ask
"Father call us"
"Oh"
"How about Miss Akizuki, Yukito san? Didn't you want to spend Christmas with him in England?" Tomoyo politely ask
"WHAT!! Yukito kun and Nakuru chan are now a couple?" Syouran and Sakura outburst at the same time
Yukito blush then answered Tomoyo, "Well she said it's better for me to see you guys again after so many years, she says's hi to every too."
"I see…" Tomoyo said
"Geez Sakura and Syouran sure is naïve about those two guardians." Kero noted
"I agree" Meling second emotion
"HEY!!" the couple said
and everyone laugh, until…
"Tomoyo, darling!" Sonomi called from the stage. Tomoyo and the rest look at her it's your turn, go up here"
Tomoyo and the rest of the gang walk to the stage draw their candle and began to go back to their sits.
Sakura got pink, Syouran green, Meiling red, Yukito silver, Kero yellow, Touya blue, Fujitaka gold and Tomoyo violet.
"Hmm it says here that Pink means love, green means honesty, red is to courage, silver is to loyalty, yellow as friendship, blue as to loyalty, gold is to success and violet is to hope" Tomoyo said as she read the instruction on a piece of paper
"We have to lit this candle up think of our wish" Syouran continued
"Sounds exciting, let's do it" Sakura said
"Okay" everyone agree.
"Wait may I join you?" Sonomi run towards them
"Sure mom"
"Wha- you got color White" Kero exclaim
"y-yes, and it means prosperity, huh?" Sonomi after explaining hers bagan to wonder who just talk but every one just smile at her "o-kay…"
Then they all lit their candles and began to think of their wishes…
"I wish me and Syouran will be able to stay forever" Sakura said to her heart
"I wish that Sakura and I will have a beautiful life together in the future" Syouran thought while blushing
"I want a man whom I can love and stay with" Meiling thought "then I'll never let him go again" then se smirks
"I want a very big, sweet pudding when I wake up everyday" Kero greedily wish
"I wish she could finally finish her duty…" Touya said in his mind
"Hope Nakuru and the others go back here in England so we could all be together again" It was Yukito
"I have no more to ask but the happiness of these teenagers" Fujitaka
"Thank you for bringing back my glory, now please let my daughter get back her happiness" Sonomi sigh deeply
"I don't know what to wish, I guess my grown up Christmas wish is to…"
Meanwhile in England
"Master, look!!" Nakuru squeak
Kaho and Eriol walk to one of the store where the TV is on. It said it was on CLAMP channel because of the logo
"Hey are those Sakura and Meiling?" Kaho ask "So the Kinomoto's and Li's have gone back to Japan to celebrate"
"Come on, let's go. I don't want to spend this day just by watching" Eriol was about to walk away when he heard someone sing when the door from the store open
"Santa can you hear
me (hear me?)
I have been so good this year
And all I want is
one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want. Just
for me
underneath my Christmas tree"
For sure he knows that voice, how could he forget, that angelic voice of her that surrounds his heart. He looks back and he was right it belongs to Daidouji, to Tomoyo Daidouji.
"Wow, they're having a Christmas Party!" Nakuru said in envious
"Hey don't expect much, you didn't even buy some gifts for the party so why did you even expect to have a party" Spinnel said on her shoulder
"Who said I didn't go Christmas shopping? I did and I bought every one a present" Nakuru said while jumping around
"I did too, maybe you Spinnel is the one who didn't prepare any gifts" Kaho tease
"Who? Me? I have already wrapped them up!" Spinnel answer "Although they are not really that big."
"So the only person who didn't bought any gifts is…" everyone look at Eriol whose face blush
"Sorry, I just forgot. But let me make up to you. I'm going to treat you guys a dinner, where do you want to eat?" Eriol suggested
"Wow, dinner outside? Cool!!" Nakuru cheered
"I know a place, let's go." Kaho drove the car and they joy ride until they reach a restaurant at the top of the hill
"That was a very long trip. It made me really hungry" Spinnel said
"No kidding, I was just about to eat Spinney here!" Nakuru said stroking Spinnel's fur
"Just try doing that and I swear I'll forget you're my partner" Spinnel said flying away from her and towards his master
"Well sorry about that, shall we?" and they all get out of the car and went inside the restaurant.
After eating their wonderful dinner
"That was great!" Nakuru commented
"No kidding, their foods are great" Spinnel "How did you find this place Miss Kaho?"
"Oh well you see I use to meet someone here one week ago. Besides don't you think it's wonderful because there is a solo room provided for us and for Spinnel to act normal" Kaho explained
"Well It was really nice. Okay let's go, I have already pay the bills" Eriol said and they were about to leave the room when a waiter open and walk inside
"Excuse me but our restaurant management has special gifts for all our costumers. Please proceed to the grand garden and enjoy watching the thousand shooting stars in the sky" After that he left
"Shooting stars? Let's go" Nakuru drag Spinnel and run outside
"Shall we?" Eriol said to Kaho offering her arms
"It's a pleasure"
Outside, in the garden…
"It's pretty" everyone said
"Everyone lets make a wish" Kaho suggested and everyone of course agree to that
'I wish I could go to Japan and meet everybody again' Nakuru thought deeply
'I wish Master will find true happiness sooner' Spinnel wish silently
'I wish I could fulfill my duty in time' Kaho said
'I-I wish…"
At the same time, in different places…
"I wish we could be together again…" the separate lovers said while staring straight to their hopes.
