Chapter 7
"What about breakfast?" Tomoyo forced herself to say.
"Did someone say breakfast?!" The little seal beast piped up as his drawer popped open.
"I will fix you something after Dad leaves for the airport and Onii-chan goes to the university." Sakura replied.
"Pancakes!"
"Okay. Pancakes."
'YAY!!" Kero announced so loud Sakura had to hush him.
"Okay, back in your drawer now Kero, we are going to change." Once he was in the closed drawer Sakura stripped her pajamas off before glancing at Tomoyo. She was immediately stunned by the sight of Tomoyo's beautiful nude body. "Tomoyo-chan?" She said with a hesitant smile. As Tomoyo looked at her questioningly Sakura started moving towards her and lifting her arms for another hug.
"Oh no! If she touches me like this...I don't know what will happen. I need some time to get used to this connection we have. Her love is so strong! It's like she is caressing me with her mind. And I want to... No not yet. We're not ready yet!" Your dad and brother are just downstairs waiting for us. We need to get dressed and go down."
"Well, okay." Sakura said with a cute pout.
After assuring the Seal Beast that he would get his pancakes later they went downstairs. As Tomoyo descended she was thinking a dreamy thought. "When we are both ready and everything is arranged just perfectly, then we will do it."

"Good morning Monster, Good morning Tomoyo-chan." Touya greeted them in the dining room, and then noticed that they were not their usual selves. They both had radiant smiles.
"Good morning Onii-chan." Sakura replied as if she didn't even hear his "monster" comment. He immediately jumped to conclusions and grinned at them.
"So my little sister isn't a virgin anymore." He said with a laugh and immediately had Sakura's full attention.
"That's not true!" Sakura snapped at her brother who then chuckled at her intense blush. Though no one noticed Tomoyo's much smaller blush she could feel it herself.
"Sakura still blushes very cutely!" She laughed, trying to get her control back. Then she turned to Touya and Fujitaka who was bringing food to the table. "And Sakura's virginity is still intact...for now." She couldn't help adding and this time the two males did see Tomoyo's blush.
"So you are saying you are a couple now?" Fujitaka asked politely.
"Yes we are, dad. We are very much in love." Sakura announced with a smile that she couldn't seem to get rid of.
"But Tomoyo, how could you fall in love with a monster?" Touya said with a grin.
Then Sakura remembered their agreement and smiled at her brother. "Monster, huh? I think I need to call Yuki and let him know how things went."
"Of course you aren't a monster! I'm sorry I said that. I was just kidding. You are a wonderful little sister who wouldn't do anything to hurt her older brother..." Sakura loved the way she had finally, at long last, turned the tables on him.
"Maybe I won't and maybe I will. Depends on how my brother treats me..."
"As Sakura smiled threateningly at her apologetic brother Tomoyo turned to Fujitaka and announced, "Sakura and I will be staying together from now on. Including living together if that is all right with you?"
"Yes, of course it is." he replied as he saw how his daughter's face lit up with joy at Tomoyo's words. "But where will you two live?"
"We have a great deal of room at our house, and my mother would love to have Sakura stay there." Tomoyo said.
"But you will visit me when I am here, won't you Sakura-san?"
"Of course, Dad!" Sakura replied happily as she hugged her father.

After Fujitaka and Touya had left, Tomoyo explained that now that they were an official couple, that was a good enough reason for them to remain together and so her dad didn't really need to know about the Magic. However as Tomoyo was finishing her explanation, Sakura's arms were sliding around her again.
"It feels so good to have my Tomoyo-chan in my arms and to know that you won't leave me anymore. I missed you so much while you were-"
"Where are my PANCAKES?!" Kero interrupted loudly and made both the girls laugh.
After Kero's breakfast was made and he was eating it, the girls talked quietly. "Our love is truly wonderful, yet It still seems strange that I can no longer imagine your future with a handsome Magic Prince and beautiful children. And I had so wanted that for you."
"I thought that's what I wanted too. Even though I was in love with you, I would still imagine that dream. And tell myself that my love for you was just friendship. I used to tell myself that a lot even though it felt like so much more! But I was still stuck with the dream that Syaoran was the one I was destined to be with, and this caused me a lot of trouble over the years. It was like I was fighting myself. Then when you told me to expect Syaoran to propose, I tried really hard to imagine a life with him. It didn't feel right, but I kept telling myself that it would be much better than I was imagining. I was confused right up until he actually asked me. Then it struck me like lightening! I did -not- want to spend my life with him. I wanted to spend it with you!"
Sakura was now so overcome with the feeling of Tomoyo's love and the perfection of her imagined future that she couldn't speak for a while. But words weren't necessary at all as the two girls held each other and basked in their mutual love.
Then when Sakura began running her fingers through Tomoyo's long dark hair, Tomoyo felt the passion starting to build inside her. "No! Not yet. Not here. It must be in my room. Where I had all those dreams of her. We will make all those dreams come true. When we are ready and everything is perfect."
"I will call my mom and have her send my limo now." Tomoyo gasped as she pulled free of Sakura's rather firm grip.
Kero had heard and saw everything and it confirmed what he had thought earlier. He was honestly happy for both Sakura and Tomoyo that they had finally gotten together, but he couldn't help smiling even more when he thought about the wonderful desserts Tomoyo could now fix him every day!
