'Who is the real one?'
Eriol landed on top of the emperor penguin slide. He looked around and saw two other persons on the play ground. The first is the girl in the pink frilly dress with a white angel mask. The second is someone familiar…
A boy with chestnut-colored hair and piercing amber eyes; he was dressed in green traditional clothes with a Ying Yang symbol in the center…
Syaoran
The two persons looked at him. (Actually, Syaoran was glaring).
"What happened to her?" He was surprised that his voice changed. It was not deep and baritone but strong and stiff. He later understood that he unconsciously modified his voice so that Syaoran will not know his identity.
"She has been tricked by the mirror card. The only way to catch the card is to say surely who the true Tomoyo is" a yellow stuff toy said
'He looks like Spinel sun, could he be Keroberos?' he thought. A rush of memories overwhelmed him, causing him to stumble a little. He regained consciousness the jumped to the ground. "Keroberos…" The words came out of his mouth before he knew it. His voice came out careful yet tender; as if welcoming a son fom a long journey. Kero-chan's face softened and said, "Master Clow Reed, you came back"
"Clow Reed? I thought his dead?" an innocent, child-like voice said. It was an abnormal voice for a grown up so he presumed that she also modified he voice. (A/N: Well, I think everyone know her anyway)
"I am his reincarnation. How will we know who this Tomoyo is?" he asked.
"The easiest way to find out is to ask questions that the real Tomoyo only knows" the girl said.
"I know her. I will ask the question." Syaoran said, joining the conversation. Eriol and the girl nodded. He looked thoughtful for a moment then said, "What is your hobby? Don't answer yet. You" he pointed Eriol, "stand beside the first girl and the pink girl will stand with the second. They will just whisper to you two what their answer is so that no cheating will be done"
They did as what they were told. "Her answer is shooting videos of her beloved Sakura-chan and match making" the girl said. "The same answer" Eriol replied.
"You can only see your externals when looking at a mirror" the girl said aloud. Understanding this, Eriol added "You can also see what you are doing but not what you are feeling as you do it"
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show,
Who I am inside?
Syaoran got their message so he asked, "Who are closest to your heart and why?" he asked. Again, the masked girl was the first to speak, "Sakura-chan because she is my best friend, my mother because she loves me very much, Hiiragizawa-kun, Chiharu-chan, Yamazaki-kun, Naoko-chan and Rika-chan because they are always there.
"The same answer again." Eriol said. He then noticed that the one she is guarding is blushing. "Wait. I think she wants to add something". He leaned closer so that Tomoyo could whisper. "Sya- Syaoran-kun" she whispered. "Syaoran-kun" he repeated so everyone could hear. That was the first time Eriol ever heard Tomoyo say Syaoran.
Before anyone could ask why, Syaoran pointed the Tomoyo guarded by Eriol and said, "you are the true Tomoyo, I'm sure". His eyes were soft but he was not blushing nor was his voice gentle. He was his usual cold self but his eyes betrayed him.
Mirror mirror,
Hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror
I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back to me
The other Tomoyo vanished and was replaced by a beautiful girl holding a circular mirror. "Arigatou, Li-kun", Tomoyo said, still blushing but looking at the ground. Something happened between Tomoyo and Syaoran but Eriol has no means to find out about that.
The girl in the pink frilly dress went to the mirror card, raised her staff and exclaimed, "Return to thy true form, Clow Card!" The mirror card immediately solidified into a card and flew to Syaoran's hand. Syaoran and the pink girl ran away to different directions without as much as goodbye.
Eriol was concerned of what Tomoyo feels and what she will do. "Are you going to walk home? Can you?" he asked.
"It's getting late. I'll just call my body guards to fetch me. Oh… And thank you"
"Thank you?"
"I knew you were concerned about me. That's why you stayed here, right? I think you realized who Li-kun is."
"If my guess is right, he is Syaoran. That was nothing. Bye" Eriol said as he jumped to the emperor penguin. 'He jumped from building to building as fast as he can.
'This is getting more and more complicated. Now, there are two Card Captors and I actually know one. And that one is close to Tomoyo's heart though I don't know why.' He thought and a phrase went through his mind, 'the one'
The next day, the four students walked side by side. No one spoke and an awkward silence grew between them. 'Looks like everyone knows now' Eriol thought.
Everything went on normally after their first class. Tomoyo somehow managed to get back to being energetic and happy. Awkwardness was forgotten. Maybe it was the fact that Syaoran didn't go with them at lunch that brought back everything to normal. Syaoran didn't show up even when they were going home, forcing Eriol to walk Sakura home
Days, weeks and months passed. Months filled with magic. Eriol changed a lot through this. First of all, he is as mature and as knowledgeable as Clow Reed himself when it comes to catching cards and his guardians but to his creations, ONLY. He is almost the same at school except that he is much more fun to talk to and more capable of giving advices. He doesn't want to surprise the students by suddenly becoming adult-like.
All these months, Syaoran didn't talk to Tomoyo or Eriol even though they have the same class. Sakura, on the other hand, have been very close to Syaoran since they have three classes in common and they are neighbors.
Not known by them, someone was watching them and she will do everything for them to be close again.
As Tomoyo and Eriol were walking on the corridor, something caught Tomoyo's eye. "Hiiragizawa-kun, look!" She pointed the bulletin board.
ANNOUNCEMENT: EVERY FRESHMAN SHOULD ATTEND A SPECIAL SEMINAR: MODERN LIVING CLASS.
"Modern living class?" Eriol asked
"It is a class for the freshmen. Every year, the freshmen will attend this to learn and experience family life. My mother said it is quite fun"
"How can we experience family life? We're just freshmen…" Eriol asked in disbelief
"Well, we'll just have to find out" Tomoyo said
They continued walking and talking until they heard Sakura calling them. "Tomoyo-chan! Eriol-kun!"
"What is it, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked
"Look at this" She handed them an announcement which looks like the one on the bulletin board
"We've seen this" Eriol stated
"Read the second page" Sakura said
ANNOUNCEMENT: IN MODERN LIVING CLASS, A BOY WOULD BE MARRIED (MOCK WEDDING ONLY) TO A GIRL SO THAT THEY WOULD EXPERIENCE LIFE WITH A WIFE/HUSBAND.
This is the list of couples: (chosen by random selection)
Yamazaki Takashi and Mihara Chiharu
Fujiwara Ryu and Yanagisawa Naoko
Li Syaoran and Kinomoto Sakura
Oshima Hiroko and Sasaki Rika
Hiiragizawa Eriol and Daidouji Tomoyo
"WHAT?!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hahaha…. They will be married… hahaha…
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS and Modern living class. CCS is owned by Clamp while Modern living class is owned by the person who wrote the baby sitter's club
I am sorry because this is short and crazy. Just watch out for my evil plan…
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
(You don't need to give me a gift for Christmas… just give me a review… please)
So, I want to share something. It's okay if you don't read this part.
I am confused because a part of me wants Syaoran and Tomoyo to get together. Why on earth would I like that? Well, if you remember, I said that this is an over exaggeration of my life. In my life, I am Tomoyo. Sakura is my best friend. Eriol is her crush and Syaoran is my childhood best friend who I secretly had a crush on. Sshhh… That was a secret until now… So, I am the reason why my best friend and her crush are now together. Somewhere inside me, I really want them to be together…
BUT I am an avid fan of TomoEri and SyaoKura… I will need to decide sooner or later…
