"Oof!" Tomoyo grunted as she carried some heavy boxes alongside Alibaba. The blonde looked worriedly at her.
"I can take some boxes if it's too heavy for you." He offered. Tomoyo shook her head and carefully adjusted her grip. Ever since coming to this world, Tomoyo decided to help out Alibaba do various jobs as compensation for allowing her to live with him. Kero, who also came with her, was currently hiding inside a small bag Tomoyo bought in order to hide his identity. As she carried the boxes, the one on the very top began to slide off. As Tomoyo tried to save it, Alibaba caught it before it fell to the ground.
"Nice catch Alibaba!" Tomoyo praised the blonde man. He blushed slightly.
"It was nothing." He murmured. "But, you need to careful, ok?" Tomoyo nodded. When they had first met, Alibaba was always nervous and blushing around her. Now, after working side by side, he had gotten used to her. But that didn't stop the blush that always appeared on Alibaba's cheeks when he got praised by her. After walking a little bit, they reached the wagon that they were supposed to fill as their job.
"This should be the last of them." Alibaba said as he put his box of assorted fruit into the wagon. Suddenly, he noticed something dreadful. Some of the watermelons in the wagon were bitten into. Then Alibaba saw the culprit. Biting into yet another watermelon was a young boy with blue braided hair. He had a white turban and white baggy pants and a blue vest. As the boy chewed, he turned around and saw Alibaba, mouth hanging down in shock.
"Hello sir!" the stranger called out. "Would like a nice, cool watermelon?" Alibaba stood still in shock as Tomoyo sighed.
"Oh dear… the owner isn't going to like this." Tomoyo murmured. Soon as she said those words, a pudgy man with a black mustache came along with two guards.
"What's going on here? Have you finished packing the caravans yet?" the man questioned. This snapped Alibaba back to reality.
"Sir!" he answered, "I can explain…" Just then, the small boy came out to see what the commotion was about. He then noticed the pudgy man and his face lit up brightly. Much to everyone's shock, he proceeded to rub his face into the man's chest. Alibaba and Tomoyo watched the scene in shock.
"Oh my!" the child exclaimed. "Why does this man have boobs. I love boobs!" As he continued to bury his face, the man grew more angry. Alibaba, seeing the situation as it grew worse, yelped and grabbed the child.
"I'm so sorry Sir Budel!" Alibaba apologized, "This kid…" Budel interrupted his sentence when he suddenly stepped on the blonde.
"I don't care! These ruin watermelons are going to come out of your money!" He yelled before stomping away. Tomoyo quickly went to help Alibaba up.
"Are you ok Alibaba?" she asked. Alibaba nodded to answer her question. Sighing, Tomoyo went up Aladdin.
"Excuse me?" she asked. "What is your name?" The boy smiled joyfully.
"It's Aladdin, miss!" The child answered. Soon after he said that, he launched himself at Tomoyo and buried his face into his chest, just like he did with Budel moments ago.
"Wha..What?!" Tomoyo exclaimed as he groped her.
"H..Hey cut it out!" Alibaba yelled as he smacked Aladdin down. "You don't do that to a girl you just met!"
"Sorry, but she was really pretty." Aladdin apologized as he rubbed his head. Tomoyo blushed at his comment despite the situation.
"A-Anyways, what are you doing here?" Tomato asked. "Do you have any friends?" Aladdin smiled widely.
"Yup!" he replied. "I'm actually looking for her before I got hungry. We accidently got separated by the crowd. Have you seen her?" Just as Tomoyo was about to answer, she heard a voice that shocked her.
"Aladdin! There you are! Do you know much I was worried about you?!" The voice yelled. Tomoyo turned around to where the voice was and saw an old friend.
"Sakura!" The Daidouji called out. The brown haired girl looked and saw Tomoyo.
"Oh my…Tomoyo!" she exclaimed. Both girls ran at top speed to each other. When they reached each other, the two opened their arms and embraced each other into a hug, laughing and crying.
"Tomoyo! It really is you!" Sakura cried out. Alibaba looked at the girls, surprised as Aladdin clapped.
"Sakura-chan!" Aladdin yelled, "Congrats on finding one of your friends!" Alibaba, now understanding the situation, smiled. The two girls continued to hug each other for a while. After a couple of minutes, they broke away and began talking.
"Sakura, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?" Tomoyo asked, slightly worried.
"I'm OK." Sakura answered. "By the way, are the others with you?" Tomoyo bit her lower lip.
"Well," she began, "Kero is in my bag right here, but Syaoran isn't with me. I was hoping he was with you." Sakura's spirit dropped slightly.
"He's not here?" she whispered, "Then, where could be?" Sighing, Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's hand reassure her.
"I'm not sure," she said. "But don't worry Sakura, we'll find him." Sakura nodded slightly.
"Ahem…" A voice interrupted them. The two turned and saw Alibaba.
"I don't mean to be rude, but it's getting late. If you want to, you can continue the conversation at my place." The blonde said with a slight blush. Tomoyo gave a kind smile to him.
"Thank you, Alibaba." Tomoyo said. "But, there's something I need to show Sakura. Why don't you take Aladdin back first?" Alibaba looked slightly upset by the arrangement, but he did as she suggested and lead Aladdin to his home. When they were out of sight, Tomoyo reached to her small bag and opened it. As soon as it was opened, Kero flew out.
"Sakura!" he exclaimed. "You're really here!" Kero proceeded to hug Sakura's cheek as he was still. Sakura giggled happily.
"Yes Kero, I'm really here." Sakura reassured. After the guardian broke away, Kero and Tomoyo quickly informed Sakura all that happened to them.
"…and then the idiot Alibaba stepped on me. Can you believe it? That hurt a lot!" Kero remarked as story came to an end.
"I imagine it must have hurt a lot." Sakura giggled. Tomoyo smiled at Sakura.
"So, how was your journey with Aladdin?" Tomoyo asked. Thinking all that happened, Sakura couldn't help but grimace slightly.
"It's was really fun to spend time with him," Sakura began to explain, "but something weird happened that I just can't explain…" Tomoyo and Kero gave her a worried look. Sighing, Sakura continued telling them about Ugo and Andromalius, the two blue djinn she met. She also explained how Ugo came from Aladdin's flute and Andromalius disappeared into her ankle bracelet where the star was.
"The weirdest part though was that he somehow knew me, but he said a different name." Sakura murmured. "Soon afterwards, I got these images in my head, but fainted later. However, there's something more dire. I can't summon my wand, but the Sakura Cards still have magic in it. Something might be blocking my ability to use magic." As Tomoyo continued to look worriedly at Sakura, Kero was lost in thought.
"This is most perplexing." Kero murmured. "Besides my original owner, Clow Reed, who is long gone now, you are the world's most powerful magician-at least, in our world. Does that mean there's an even more powerful magician residing in this world blocking your powers?" Tomoyo sighed.
"It's no use to think about it now." Tomoyo decided. "Alibaba and Aladdin are waiting back at the house. We should save the conversation for next time. I'm just glad you're safe. Now, let's get back." Tomoyo opened her bag and Kero flew into it. Then the two girls departed for Alibaba's house. When they reached Alibaba's house, the group heard muffled yells. The two girls glanced at each worriedly before Tomoyo opened the door. They were welcomed into the room with some intense scolding.
"ALADDIN!" the voice yelled. "YOU DON'T JUST EAT SOMEONE'S FOOD WITHOUT PERMISSION! THAT WAS ALL THE FRUIT I HAD IN THE HOUSE!" The two girls looked inside and saw that the voice belonged to Alibaba. Based on the apple cores that littered the floor, Aladdin probably got hungry again and attacked the poor fruits that laid around Alibaba's house. Sighing, Sakura went into the house and lightly smacked Aladdin on the head.
"Aladdin!" Sakura scolded. "You know it's rude to eat other people's food without permission. Apologize to Alibaba!" Aladdin turned to Alibaba.
"I'm sorry Alibaba." Aladdin apologized. Alibaba sighed slightly and scratched his head.
"Well, there's nothing to do about it now." He murmured. "But don't do it next time." Alibaba turned around to Tomoyo. "Can you show them where they can sleep?" When she nodded, Alibaba grabbed a piece of cured meat hanging from the ceiling and went to his mat to eat it. Tomoyo went to the far side of the house and grabbed some mats and blankets.
"Here." Tomoyo said as she gave some of the blankets and mats to Sakura, "You guys can sleep in the middle of the room. Sorry there isn't much space." Sakura smiled at Tomoyo as she laid the mats on the ground.
"It's fine. After all, you're letting us stay here." Sakura stated. When the mats were laid down, Alibaba blew out the candle, and everyone went to bed. As she laid there, Sakura went through all that happened today. The brunette frowned when she recalled the events that happened after meeting Ugo and Andromalius.
"None of this makes sense." She thought. "Those djinns looked like they know me, but Andromalius said Aini. Who is she? And why did he call me that?" Unable to think any longer, Sakura fell into a deep sleep.
Yay! Tomoyo, Kero, and Sakura are reunited. But where's Syaoran? Don't worry, you'll see him REAL soon! Also, about what Kero said; I currently started a second story "The Twin Sister of Zero". If you're interested, check it out!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story. Until next time. Review!
