Author's Notes: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. And it's sort of based on real life experience. But not really the same happenings…some I changed them.
She was just walking along the Tomoeda streets, her grayish lavender hair dancing with the wind, her hand holding a ball. She was visiting her second degree cousin and best friend Sakura Kinomoto. She said they we're going to play basketball today. She smiled at the thought. Girls playing basketball! Who cares if it's not un-lady like after all? She enjoys that sport although she's not good at it. She loves shooting the ball to the ring. She wanted to laugh but she couldn't coz' people might think she might be crazy!
"She's not here?" Tomoyo asked to Touya, Sakura's older brother. Touya shook his head.
"She left an hour ago to visit Rika's house and the others coz' they're practicing for their show. She said they'll have a dance but they're not sure if it will proceed on it. She told me if you'll come you'll just have to wait at the backyard. She won't be long", Touya said. They have move to a new house and they have already a backyard and Fujitaka, Sakura's Father, made a basketball court at the back of their house.
"Thank you Oniichan Touya. I'll just wait for her at the court if she'll arrive. Please tell her that", Tomoyo added. Touya nodded.
"I'll prepare you some snacks", he said as he went in to the house.
"Thank you". With that she proceeds to the court. Sakura was beautiful and base on Tomoyo's findings many guys like her and courted her. While Tomoyo…she doesn't have a suitor. Okay now it might be ironic because she is also beautiful but she isn't prepared to have a love one yet. She doesn't know about Sakura though.
"Here's your snacks", Touya said as he saw Tomoyo shooting the ball to the ring. "I'll place it here. By the way nice shot!" he added. Tomoyo smiled as she dribbled the ball.
"Thanks Oniichan Touya".
"No problem! See you later Tomoyo!" he added.
"Right, later!" she called. She shoots again the ball then catches it with her delicate hands. She will be turning sixteen this September yet she acts and thinks like a child. "Please just one shot", she murmured as she was practicing for a three shot. When she throws the ball she prayed the ball will be inside the ring…and unbelievable coz' her prayer was answered. "Yes!" she exclaimed. Someone clapped her hands as she looked to who it was. It was Sakura coming near her. "S-Sakura how long have you been there?"
"When I saw you shoot the ball", Sakura replied. "Want to eat for a while?"
"Sure!" Tomoyo said as she left the ball and came to where Sakura was sitting. She ate the piece of cake that Touya prepared for them. "So how was your practice?"
"Well…unexpectedly Rika's friend has a friend who knows how to dance. Actually he taught us", Sakura began, eating the piece of cake.
"It's a 'he'?" Tomoyo corrected. Sakura nodded, liking the taste of the cake.
"He even asked for my number".
"Really? That's not new", Tomoyo said with a slight laugh.
"I know and he was so funny coz' there was no paper so he asked for a ball pen and wrote the number on his hand. Silly guy!"
"Really huh? What's his name?" it wasn't new for Tomoyo after all if guys would ask Sakura's number. She is in fact…pretty.
"His name is Eriol", Sakura replied drinking the juice.
"Eriol…nice name", Tomoyo said after a quite well. "Hope I'll see him in personal".
"Yeah hope you will". Tomoyo stood up and grabbed the ball.
"So…let's play?"
"You bet!" Sakura replied as she also stood up.
Tomoyo was watching T.V. that night and somehow she was tired. Her telephone rang as she answered it. As always her Mom will be home late. "Hello good evening?"
"Good evening Tomoyo, its Sakura", Sakura greeted.
"Sakura what is it?" Tomoyo asked as she sat down and still her eyes we're fixed on the television.
"Well…can you do me a favor?"
"Sure…as long as it's not difficult", Tomoyo replied. Her best friend chuckled.
"Don't worry it's not. Can you text Eriol? I was check operator service when I was about to reply him".
"You mean C.O.S. as in check operator service?" Sakura gave again a slight laugh.
"Stop it would you!"
"Okay, okay I'll stop joking. I'll text him. What's his number?" Sakura gave Eriol's number as Tomoyo saved it. "Okay I'll just tell you what we talked about okay?"
"Okay. Thanks Tomoyo you're the best!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Not really", she said with a slight laugh. "Night Sakura".
"Night Tomoyo". After they've said their goodbyes Tomoyo thought for a while if she'll text Eriol. But of course she has to! It was a simple favor from Sakura. So she text him. Hi! This is Eriol right? I am Sakura's friend. She said she can't text you coz she was C.O.S check operator service. That's all! x. She pressed 'Options' then pressed 'Send' and was looking for his name. After she found it she sends the message. Not for long Eriol replied…
Ei thanks! May I know who's this? She wondered…does she need to reply? It wouldn't hurt if he'll just ask for her name.
Name's Tomoyo…nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too Tomoyo. Are you close friends with Sakura?
Very close friends. We are second degree cousin.
You weren't with her today right?
No coz' I was at her house playing basketball, waiting for her.
I see…hope we can be good friends.
Sure why not? Ehehehe…
If you ever have problems tell me maybe I can help.
Ows…really huh? Ehehehe…ei thanks! How old are you anyway Eriol?
I'm 17. You?
I'm fifteen. I'm turning 16 this September 3. How about you?
I'm turning 18 this March 23.
Ei it's almost your birthday! So…can I have the permission to call you 'Oniichan'? Ehehehe…
Oniichan? Sure why not! People call me 'Oniichan' even though they're older than me. It's like a nickname. Ehehehe…
Really? Well…thanks Oniichan!
You're welcome. She realized it was late at night as she text Eriol one last time.
Oniichan I need to got to sleep. Until next time. Goodnight, sweet dreams and hugs!
Goodnight and sweet dreams to you too. Tomoyo smiled to herself. Eriol wasn't that bad. He was after all friendly. She closed her eyes and decided to tell this all to Sakura tomorrow.
"He's friendly Sakura! I feel compatible with him!" Tomoyo said the next day. She was at Sakura's house, telling her what she and Eriol have text about last night.
"Really huh? He has a plan to court me you know", Sakura added. Tomoyo's face fell.
"Not again!" she slapped her forehead. "Well…he has nice manners".
"That's at first glance. We don't really know him yet", Sakura added. Her best friend has a point though. "What else did he say?"
"Well I have the permission to call him 'Oniichan' since he's older than me. He agreed!" Tomoyo exclaimed, acting like a ten year old kid. Sakura gave a slight laugh.
"He did, did he?" Sakura said with a chuckle. Tomoyo nodded.
"Yup! And guess what he's birthday is on March 3. That will be next week".
"You're right. He even invited us to see his dance this Saturday. You coming?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo nodded.
"I want to see him!"
"Good. He's birthday will be on…"
"March 23, Wednesday", Tomoyo answered. Sakura gave a slight laugh.
"Yeah right. You may buy him a gift this Saturday after we'll meet him".
"I can't wait!" Tomoyo exclaimed. She doesn't know why she was feeling this way…it's just that she wanted to see Eriol…
Tomoyo was so bored in her house as she was watching T.V. again. The usual she was dining alone coz' her Mom will go to a party coz' she was invited by one of the company. Her Mom, Sonomi, invited Tomoyo but she doesn't really like parties…she will be bored the more. But she wasn't concentrating on the movie on the television…she was thinking of Oniichan Eriol. She was imagining what he looks like…is he cute or handsome? Is he witty and has a sense of humor? Are the traits she was looking for a guy are in him? She shook her head. He was Sakura's soon to be suitor and she shouldn't think things like this. Yet people say it just free to dream…she smiled to herself. Her cellphone received one message. She opened and saw it was from Eriol. She read the message: Hi little sis! How are you? She smiled to herself. She called him "Little sis", while she calls him "Oniichan". She replied to his message.
Hi Oniichan! I'm fine. You? nn
I'm fine also. What are you doing?
Nothing much…watching T.V. you?
The same. Say you know Sakura's telephone number?
Sorry Oniichan you can't call her coz' there's a strict policy she can't talk to boys. Ehehehe…
I'm just a friend…
I'm sorry Oniichan…
That's okay.
Say how come you call me "Little sis.?"
Coz' you also call me "Oniichan!" Ehehehe…
Just what I was thinking…
Say are you and Sakura gonna watch our dance this Saturday?
Yeah we'll be there. What time?
Two o'clock in the afternoon at Shoemart at the food court.
Sure you can count on us…
Say little sis., you are not also allowed to talk to boys?
Not really…my Mom is always out and she'll never know.
Where is your Mom?
Out in business…we own the Toy Company…
My god you're rich! You're the Daidouji heiress?
Yup!
Sakura is lucky to have a friend who owns a company…
Not really…I don't really care…for now! Ehehehe…
Say little sis., can I call you at your house?
Umm…can I be the one to call you instead?
Is that okay with you?
No problem. Coz' I don't want my Mom will know…but no comment on my voice okay? Ehehehe…
Why?
They say it's cute…I don't believe it though! Ehehehe…
Let's see about that…can you call me tonight?
Sure what's the number? Eriol gave the number as Tomoyo saved it in the "Reminders". Wait for my call Oniichan…
Sure I'll be waiting… And so she called him…
To be continued…
