Story: No Regrets (chapter 1)

Why are you here? Haven’t you haunted me enough? Where have you been all these months/years? Haven’t you tormented me enough with your absence? Are you even aware of your neglect to me and here you are again? What must I do for you to see that you don’t need me anymore? You can live without me now. Or is this just a dream like it always is anymore? No there is someone over there that looks like she used to, the same short brown hair, the Athletic build, the shine in her emerald eyes.

God is it her, really her? No it couldn’t be. I would have thought that she’d have gone back to him. But he was hard to find when he was upset with her like he always was. But I thought he loved her, would he really leave her, why? They were made for each other or maybe I thought they were, maybe I hoped they were or I tried to push them together anyway. She didn’t need me to be around her with him with her all the time then.

Well I’m going to find out real quick, here she comes and her smile is bigger than I ever seen it back then. She is so powerful looking with muscles she didn’t have back then either. She is what I would call Exceptionally Beautiful, even more so than I thought then if that were possible. Smiling she opens her mouth to say, “Hello you gorgeous little lady Pianist and Vocalist, How is my cute little Tomoyo these days?” Tomoyo just looked at her, said, “Well Sakura I’ve been fine for the past few years, how have you been and where is Li anyway?

Sakura said, “Well the last time I heard anything of him, he and Meiling were married, a 5 year old daughter and twins on the way.” Tomoyo looked surprised but said nothing of them then. Tomoyo looked at Sakura, ask, “What have you been up to lately, a super boy friend hopefully then?” Sakura said, “No I own a health spa just out of Tokyo here and that keeps me pretty much occupied lately, certainly done wonders for my body and health I must say.”

Tomoyo smiled at her, said, “Yes it has, you look great Sakura but you always did to me anyway.” Sakura smiled, said, “You always did to me too Tomoyo but did don‘t count too much for the present now does it? I‘ve always kept up with your concerts, where you‘ll be next as I always make them when you‘re here in this area.” Tomoyo smiled at her, ask, “Are you busy right now, I mean would you like to go somewhere for some coffee, a little time to talk about old times?” Sakura said, “That’d be great Tomoyo if you have the time, you are the busy girl these days you know.” Tomoyo just said, “I’ll take the time, I need a break anyway.” They walked to the side stage door and left.

Sakura knew of a small place close so it wouldn’t take much of Tomoyo’s time for a little chat. Tomoyo ordered for both of them and ask about any other class members that were still around their old school besides Sakura but she said no, “all married or jobs somewhere else now.” Sakura ask Tomoyo when she was going to settle down, not quit but work out of one base now. Tomoyo said, “When I find my special person.” Sakura ask very straight faced, “Well what would your special person be like anyway?”

Tomoyo sipped her coffee with a shaky hand, said, “Well they have to be average in all but one request of them, they have to want me for me the way I am now without Moms money all the time, Oh I make a very good living with my entertaining now but Moms money is always there if I need it but not right now. They also have to have been a card captor when they were younger.” Sakura smiled as she sipped her coffee now, ask, “Well I wonder how many people that fits anyway?” Tomoyo looked at Sakura, said, “I can think of one Sakura, but what is it that you want right now?” Sakura held Tomoyo’s hand that held her shaking coffee cup, said, “You, I want you Tomoyo but am I too late, do you have someone you have special now?”

Tomoyo smiled, said, “Yes I do and I’m looking into her beautiful emerald eyes right now too.” Sakura said, “Tomoyo love, your eyes are so blue they appear to be looking right through me they are so beautiful.” Tomoyo took Sakura’s hands in hers and said, “What do you say we do a little sight seeing just to get away for a while, besides I want to see your business. I may have to work out every night to get my fingers in shape for this finely tuned instrument across the table from me here.”

Sakura smiled as they got up to leave, said, “My fingers are already tuned up so I’m ready to go now Tomoyo love.” Tomoyo almost laughed, said, “Well shall we go somewhere and do a little tuning then before this wonderful idea gets away from us then?” Sakura said, “My place isn’t too far from here and we’ll have all the privacy we will need to tune a little before you have to get back to practice.” Tomoyo smiled to say, “Well if I like the tune up I just may skip practice tonight anyway Sakura love.” They got into Tomoyo’s limo and she asks, “Where is your place then my lovely little Card Captor?” Sakura said “Just straight down this street to 105th, I own two whole blocks of health spas and a Recreational Center there, even an indoor Field Track on half of it. I’ve been busy when I wasn’t checking out where you were in concert my lovely Tomoyo.” The Limo pulled up to 105th corner but all the driver could see was VIP parking at the main Office area. Sakura said, “Oh just pull into the one marked Boss, that’s mine, that’ll do for now.” Tomoyo was in awe of the whole complex. Sakura said, “All new and all paid for with the first years profits and it brings in $50, 000. A week and right now I’m looking for a very expensive wife as a tax write off as taxes are double what I make, would you be interested Tomoyo?” Tomoyo laughed, said, “Well nothing like getting to the point right Sakura my cute little love bug.”

Sakura took Tomoyo’s hand and into the main Office they walked with Girls walking over each other to greet Sakura and her guest. Sakura said, “Girls I want you to meet a school friend of mine, Tomoyo Daidouji and if the name is familiar it’s because she is one of the best entertainers anywhere and her Mother practically owns Tokyo too.” Tomoyo gave them a very polite bow and Sakura and her walked on down the huge hall area to where Sakura’s office is and they walked on inside with Sakura locking the door behind them all along smiling at Tomoyo.

Sakura said, “Now you’re not getting away from me ever again my little Angel Tomoyo. I’ve waited for this moment for almost 10 years my lady entertainer. I don’t believe you answered my question earlier love.” Tomoyo ask, “You mean about me being you wife? I‘ll have to give it some thought Sakura. Ok I‘ve thought enough, yes but what do I have to do, I gave you a request, remember?” Sakura smiled, said, “Yes I have a request, Just be yourself and I intend on this being a life time, ours together until death do us part.” Tomoyo said, “Sakura love, I wouldn’t have it any other way and that had better be a very long time yet.” Sakura pulled a small box out of her pocket, opened it to a solid diamond engagement ring and took Tomoyo’s hand and slipped it on the ring finger, ask will you marry me now Tomoyo? I love you so much.” Tomoyo held Sakura’s hands crying said, “Yes my love, I’ve loved you for so long.”

They sat on the sofa and hugged a little bit with both girls crying yet, Sakura cried, “I never thought we’d be doing this, ever Tomoyo, I didn’t know how to let you know I knew when you threw me a hint about you loving me until now when I can finally offer you something in return of our love, partnership. Sorry Tomoyo that it took me so long to get here but I can offer you a good living and you only need to entertain on your special nights and places you love so much.” Tomoyo crying now said, “I hoped I’d see you some day to maybe get back to where we once were but closer. I always looked for you in the audiences as I had no way of knowing where you were either so we both waited. Look at all those lonely nights we could have spent together if we’d have only known where the other was sooner.”

Sakura still crying yet said, “But look at us this way too, we’re older now, wiser I hope and a lot more refrained from doing something stupid, or at least we didn’t rip each others cloths off.” Tomoyo smiled, said, “Well yet anyway” they both laughed but did manage to get down to undressing each other and actually took some time doing it too. Tomoyo said, “Sakura love, your body is beautiful with all these muscles, I’m getting my fingers in tune already.” Sakura smiled as she said, “Your body is as tuned as I’ll need it you are so perfect like you always were.” With that, they lay and tuned for hours on bodies that neither thought they’d ever touch again let alone love so intimately and completely.

Tired and in each others arms, Sakura said, “If we’d only have done this years ago now we wouldn’t have to learn each others pleasures you know?” Tomoyo wore out almost said, “Yes but we wouldn’t be where we both are today either you realize? We really got it made right now young lady.” Sakura ask, “Know what we’re going to tell our friends now with us together all the time? How would you like to get Married next week, I know of a place. I had to find it for two of my girls but girls is all I got working for me anyway.” Tomoyo smiled at Sakura, said, “Even though we were apart, we were so much alike. All I have working for me are girls also.”

Sakura ask, “Are your girls ok, alright now, we did just leave them there this afternoon you remember? I better get you back to them so we can at least explain us, think?” Tomoyo set up and smiled at Sakura, said, “Yes let’s go back because I do have a concert tonight at 9:00 so we can tell them all then at our close.” They both finally got up after some last minute kissing and headed for Sakura’s huge spa to soak away some signs of long over due loving. They redressed in some matching gowns that Sakura was saving for such occasions and headed out to Tomoyo’s concert and was just about on time as the hall was just filling up with Tomoyo’s fans and ready for the super show they all knew they would see tonight. Tomoyo walked out to her piano and set ready for her intros.

Sakura set behind the curtain to cheer Tomoyo on through the whole concert and when Tomoyo’s last song ended, she raised her Mic. for a last few words about her future and other concerts. Tomoyo said, “Well my long time sweetheart and I have finally decided to get married. I’ll let everyone know when I find out and you might still want to come to my wedding because of who it is. I am going to marry my childhood sweetheart, Sakura Amamiya, my very best friend and cousin.” Tomoyo invited Sakura out to on the stage with her standing there arm and arm in their matched blur and green gowns. And to both a surprising standing ovation and applause for their new venture in life but all wanted to know if she would be doing another concert in the area as they all would be there if nothing more than to see the new couples progress in marriage and life. Everybody went up to congratulate the new couple.

After the crowd left and just Tomoyo and Sakura there to chat with Tomoyo’s stage girls for a little while, all the girls wanted to know how Sakura got her muscles as they all said she looked very beautiful with them. Sakura smiled, said, “At my place of business, come visit us at 105th, you’ll see how.” Tomoyo said, “Girls, pick up and head to our place and I should see you tomorrow, Not sure what Sakura has planed for us then but It will be quite a surprise I’m sure,” smiling at her.

Tomoyo ask Sakura if she’d like to see her place here in this area as it is just a place to stay while in this area. Sakura said, “any place of your’ is well worth seeing.” So they headed there in Tomoyo’s Limo again to get there about midnight but with the place dark, it was hard to make out other than a nice smaller complex. Once inside they set in her large sofa to chat a little bit while Tomoyo fixed some tea.

Sakura noticed a recent picture of Tomoyo and her mother on the china cabinet and ask, “How is Sonomi these days, well I hope.” Tomoyo answered, “She’s doing great, just bought five more major businesses and now owns most of Tokyo. We’ll have to go see her tomorrow if you would like, she misses you too Sakura, you are her second daughter you know?” Sakura said, “Yes, I did go see her a few times when you left as I thought she might tell me where you were but that never happened. I don’t think she knew for a while anyway.” Tomoyo brought in the tea and set it on the coffee table by the sofa, Said, “No I didn’t even tell her so she wouldn’t tell you at first, then I did want to find you but couldn’t.”

Sakura said, “Tomoyo I cried for months for you but finally got this idea in my head and thought if I ever did find you I could offer you something in return you were always so good to me, for me.” Tomoyo smiled at Sakura but said with a straight face, “I cried for years before that for you Sakura but look at us now, back together and talking about a wedding even, I’m ready for that love, you and I together forever then.” Tomoyo finally smiled again to ask, “How are your dad and brother now?” Sakura said, “Fine, dad even got married again about six years ago and is happy with a new daughter five years old. You‘ll have to see her soon, she looks just like me. Well she should too as her mother looks just like my mother so dad did staying with look-a-likes.” Tomoyo said, “Yes mom said she looked enough like Nadeshiko to be her sister.”

Tomoyo said, “We better get out of these gowns, we don’t want to ruin them in our haste here shortly now do we?” Sakura smiled and said, “I thought you’d never ask when my love so now with you suggesting we should, we better, Ok?” As they shed the gowns and the rest of their cloths, Tomoyo ask, “Sakura love, do you ever use your Mage powers anymore?” With both girls free of clothing now, they lay on Tomoyo’s bed, a lot smaller than her’ at home but adequate. Sakura said, ”Yes but only a little as I don’t want too many to know I am a Mage, I do want to keep all the friends I have as you know not many want to be around us.” Tomoyo laughed as she said, “Yes we were quite dangerous while learning in our days of Capturing Cards weren’t we?”

Sakura ask, “Tomoyo my angel how would you like to go for a midnight flight over the city for our first get back together night?” Tomoyo smiled, ask, “Do we have to get redressed for our flight? I don‘t carry any extra cloths with me you know.” Sakura laughed, said, “It cool but I can Mage us up some warm shorts and top so we’ll be ok for a little while or until we get cold, you remember it even gets cold in the summer up there.” Sakura did Mage them some shorts and a top but made sure they were good enough to keep them warm for a while anyway. After re-clothing, Tomoyo asks “How are we going to do this, your staff or your own wings.” Sakura smiled, said, “My wings, I want to feel you on my back to keep track of you better my love.” They walked out Tomoyo’s back door to her back patio where they got into position and they took flight with a smooth easy wingtip glide and after they cleared some close high lines did they finally take to higher air with them both enjoying the lights of the huge city below. The city was beautiful like this at night with everything still going strong below. After 30 minutes Tomoyo finally practically lay on Sakura back to stay out of the wind as both girls were getting chilly now. Sakura decided to return as it was just a little ways up here again so she flew in for a very gentle landing on the patio deck again. Sakura turned to Tomoyo and took her into her wings with a kiss and hug to end a beautiful flight. Folding her wings back in they started to walk back into Tomoyo’s apartment when they heard, “God its Tomoyo and Sakura.” Tomoyo immediately looked to find all her girls on their adjoining deck next door. Tomoyo said, “Sorry girls, I never thought you’d be out this late tonight, sorry again and you are to tell no one about this, hear?” The leader of the girls said, “See what Tomoyo, we never seen anything at all, did we girls?” Tomoyo said, “Well now that you’ve seen us you might as well come over and hear it all now, Ok?” They all walked over to and in Tomoyo’s apartment and the door was closed behind them by Sakura. Tomoyo said, “Girls set and listen then if you really want to hear a story about us together as partners once before years back.” One girls, Nancy, said, “Tomoyo, we know you always said that your Sakura was an angel, you weren’t kidding, she really is. Now I’ll believe everything you say.”

Tomoyo said, “Well yes and No, she always was my special angel and she is very special but not what you might think right now. You see Sakura is a magician or a Mage in other words and she is one of the most powerful Mage’s at that, she has a lot of unbelievable tricks up her sleeve you might say. I know it might sound strange now but when we were younger we used to capture magical cards so we are used to working together and it was very dangerous for us but we survived through it all.” I thought I would confess my love to her after high school but things happen and a number of years has gone by now but we still love each other and that’s all that counts.

We were just out for a little flight over the lights of Tokyo with her wings but we do have another way of flying with her wand staff and wings at the back but I enjoy this way better as I can feel Sakura below me on her back. Nancy asks, “Wasn’t it getting a little chilly up there in shorts and a “T” sweater?” Tomoyo said, “Yes and that’s why we came in when we did. Oh yes these clothe were conjured up with Mage power also girls.” Tomoyo ask, “Would you girls like some tea, it won’t take long to make some.” Nancy said “No we better get back to our place and let you two lovebirds be alone, we do understand love too you know?” The girls all smiled at Tomoyo and Sakura and left for their place.

Tomoyo smiled at Sakura as they both started re-undressing again and slowly set on Tomoyo’s bed for a little late night entertainment this time. The morning came with sun shining in the window and two girls in each others arm with another long overdue kiss. They managed to get up and decide just what they wanted to do first today, the first real whole day of the rest of their lives this time. Sakura smiled real big, ask, “How about we go to see your mother, I missed her s these last few years I‘ve been so busy.” They finally stopped kissing long enough to shower and dress to go see Mom. It was closer to lunch than it was to breakfast so when they got to the old home place for Tomoyo; they decided to ask Sonomi out to lunch.

Sonomi was so glad to see Sakura and about their plans that they almost forgot lunch and Sonomi was taking them out for an early dinner at some elegant place. Along the way there they made one stop to pick up another lady which Sonomi explained as her new partner in life hopefully. The Limo pulled up to this quaint old looking shrine that the girls thought they recognized and in climbed this lady they both knew well. Tomoyo said, “Hello Mrs. Mizuki, It’s good to see you again.” Sakura said, “Yes it’s been quite a while for me being so busy.” Mrs. Mizuki said, “Just call me Kaho and yes it has been a while that we’ve been together girls.” Sonomi said, “Now that everyone already knows everyone, shall we pick our place for dinner, I’m starved.”

They arrived at the place of everyone’s choice and were seated to order their meal. Kaho ask, “You girls been seeing each other long? I see you’re still holding hands and that’s so cute.” Sakura spoke first, said, “We re-found each other just yesterday at 2:00 in the afternoon so we’re pretty new at this yet.” Tomoyo said, “Yes and we’re even talking marriage so we are thinking about it already.” Tomoyo showed them her new diamond ring. Sonomi smiling took Kaho’s hand and asks, “Would you like to get married as well, we’re not getting any younger you know Kaho love?” Kaho smiled at the girls, then Sonomi and with tears starting now she said, “Yes, I’d love too. We might even get these two to help us with the arrangements if they don’t mind; they’ll have to for their own wedding anyway. You girls help us with ours and we’ll help you with your, how‘s that?”

Kaho looked into Sonomi’s eyes and said, “You know I’ve been happy in my short life about everything in general and I was really happy when Sakura defeated Li in their Final Judgment, Kaho looked at the girls with them looking back at her as if she had just said something wrong with Tomoyo shaking her head NO. Sonomi smiled and took Tomoyo’s hand this time, said, “It’s Ok girls, I know quite a bit already about you two’s Card Capturing days but you can fill me in on the rest. I run into some tapes of you two girls capturing cards one day.” Sakura ask, “But how did you find them, I thought we hid all those tapes pretty good?” Sonomi laughed but said, “Yes but I was cleaning the curtains one day and all those special tapes were in the bottom hem so I took a look at the one with the X on it, the capture of sleep first and others I think it was but it explained enough that I knew you two were into something very dangerous half of the time but Sakura, you were very protective of my daughter.

That was when I first realized that you love her too and I just set back and watched the love grow even though you two never knew I was watching you watch each other. Kaho love, “What was Sakura’s Final Judgment anyway?” Kaho said, “She had to defeat a final protector and quiz of the book of cards, it was quite a battle but she won and the book and cards became Sakura Cards and she controlled them then. I was a protector also but I would never hurt the girls. I was there mainly to help and advise them.” Sonomi smiled and ask, “How about that cute little stuffed animal that flew everywhere in the video’s?” Kaho laughed but smiled at Sakura, said, “Well that was Kero and he is the sealed Beast or guardian of the book and his true form is a huge lion with wings.”

Kaho looked at Sonomi and answered, “And I am speechless, so very happy with your proposal of Marriage, I was beginning to think I would never marry but you’ve made my dream come true and yes I accept very willingly.” They leaned into a gentle kiss across the table and Tomoyo and Sakura were congratulating them already. Sonomi ask, “Would anyone like to see what’s on at the theaters, we got plenty of time to chose one or would everyone just like to go to our place and talk, we do have a lot to talk about now that you‘ve found each other again, really all of us.” Everybody elected to go to the house and chat as it had been a while for them all.

At Sonomi’s now they had tea in their huge living room and did manage a reasonable conversation to keep all interested and tell what they had been doing for the last few years. Tomoyo ask, “Kaho, are you still teaching you were so good at it?” Kaho smiled as she sipped her tea, said, “No, not regular anyway, only as a sub when needed. I’m doing some art work or trying too. That was a hobby until I thought I might be good enough to make some money at it and it has paid off. I have sold some work for a pretty decent price but I’m having fun right now.” Sakura said, “We’d like to see your work some time then as I liked art also in school. Tomoyo is the artist in everything she does and if you haven‘t already, you need to see her in Concert, Tomoyo is beauty to behold on her stage.”

Sonomi smiled real big, said, “And Sakura here is also beauty to behold with her body so Muscular now, not too much but just right to protect us all when we’re out. Tomoyo almost laughed at mom, said, “And we also have two Mage powers here with powers I’m not too sure they know about completely yet and I swear Sakura’s is getting stronger as the years pass. She was so powerful last night. We had a beautiful flight last night over Tokyo, it’s so lovely at night up there in the open, a little cold but nice.” Sakura looked at Tomoyo but said to all, ”Yes, even I noticed my extra strength last night and I can’t put a finger on it just yet but there was something different.” Kaho said, “Tomoyo said you hadn’t used Mage power in a while, could that have been it I wonder?” Sakura said, “Not too sure, could have been but it was sure strange though.”

“Have you ever noticed a change in your powers at any time?” looking ay Kaho now. Kaho smiled at Sonomi to say, “No but I don’t use my power much or unless I just have too. As you know not too many want to be around us Mage‘.” Sonomi ask, “But why? I don‘t mind being around you Kaho, in fact I love being with you.” Kaho laughed, said, “I’ve never used any Mage power either my love.” Tomoyo just said, “Well it’s because most Mage’ are quite dangerous and mortal people like us could get hurt mom.”

Sonomi ask, “Have you ever been hurt then Tomoyo?” Tomoyo answered, “No but Sakura is very protective of me also, always was.” Kaho smiled looking at the two girls, said, “And that proves she always loved you too Tomoyo dear, she probably just didn‘t recognize it yet as love.” Sakura held Tomoyo’s hands, said, “But when I finally realized Tomoyo really did love me, I wanted to tell her then too but she got away from me a few years there but now I want everyone to know I love Tomoyo and will till I die.” Kaho said, “That was sweet Sakura and we all hope that’s a very long time too.”

Sonomi ask, “Would you girls like to stay here tonight? Tomoyo’s bedroom is just like it was years ago now and her bed is large enough for half a dozen as you remember Sakura, my #2 daughter dear.” Tomoyo and Sakura looked at each other and smiled nodding, Tomoyo said, “Why sure Mom, we’d love too.” Sonomi said, “The bath things are where they were so you know where and how to get around girls.” Tomoyo ask, “You two will still be here in the morning right? We don’t want to rune your evening here if we stay.” Sonomi said, “No we’re going to the other end of the house so you won’t bother us and I hope we don’t bother you girls either.” Tomoyo got up and pulled Sakura up into her arms and they headed to up stairs to Tomoyo old room. Inside they took a little time to undress and head for the large bath tub only to soak in each others arms and lips met for a beautifully long kiss they both craved now.

After the soaking they got out and dried each other and headed for the bed for the evening. They talked a few minutes before continuing their bed activities with Sakura still worried about her power level changing and Tomoyo trying to think of a logical reason also. Finally Sakura said, “We need to see my sister Amy tomorrow evening when Dad gets home if that’s Ok with you?” Tomoyo smiled, said, “Yes I want to see her too.” Tomoyo finally got Sakura to lie in her arms and the loven started for the evening.

With morning sun peeping through the curtains and girls finally let go of each other long enough to get up and around for breakfast, then see which of their girls they should visit first just to see if they were alright for a few days so Tomoyo and Sakura could continue getting reacquainted to each other. After dropping by both girls places and making some early next week plans to get together for a day of what ever they wanted to do or see, Sakura and Tomoyo decided to visit the local park and just spend some enjoyable time together. It wasn’t long before they were to meet Sakura’s dad, new step mom and new sister Amy so they headed that direction.

They walked up to and knocked on the door, Sakura couldn’t just walk in even though this used to be her old home place. When the door opened, there was dad and Amy behind him a little kind of hiding because they knew Tomoyo would be with Sakura today and Amy was showing her shyness to her.

Fujitaka invited them in and ask them to set while he got the girls some tea and had Amy set with Sakura to keep them company until he got back with the tea. Sakura introduced Amy to Tomoyo and Amy immediately had a big smile on her face so Tomoyo scooted over to set beside her and Sakura.

The two of them started a little girl chat back and forth when Sakura had this strange feeling she had two nights ago during their flight. Sakura thought a second then got up and walked to the kitchen where Dad and Ann, dad’s new wife, Sakura’s step mother were finishing dinner for them all. Sakura surprised them when she said, “Hi Ann, it’s not in here, but where?” Dad asks Sakura, “What is wrong, do you smell something strange? We just had the house sprayed today, is that it?” Sakura said, “No dad, it’s something else and I can’t say until I know for sure, Ok? I‘ve been over here a thousand times and never noticed it before today but what is it, why today of all days now, what is different anyway?”

They walked back into the living room where Sakura just said aloud, “Well I know of one thing different, Tomoyo but why?” Sakura walked over to Tomoyo and ask, Tomoyo love, could I get you to walk out to the curb for a minute, I’ll let you know in a minute or when I find out something, Ok?” Tomoyo got up and ask if Amy could go with her but Sakura said “No, I need her here with me a minute.”

Tomoyo looked as if out of the conversation a little but said, “Ok.” and headed out the door. Sakura stood at the door with them all looking at her like she might have just lost it as she said, “It’s here, it’s here, it’s here, it getting weaker, it’s real weak, now I can’t hardly detect it at all. Sakura looked at them still wondering what she’s up too when she said, “I’ll be right back in, Ok?”

Sakura walked out towards Tomoyo to say, not yet, not yet, maybe a little, yes a little more, a lot more, she got to Tomoyo to say lot of power now. Tomoyo looked at her, “Ask lot of power what Sakura, am I missing something here?” Sakura smiled, said, “Yes and me too before now but we got us a five year old Mage in there that doesn’t know she is yet I’m sure, Don’t even know what it is let alone do anything with it, Let’s go back in and talk. And you are the one that caused it too love, I love you so much Tomoyo. You are the main reason I am so powerful when we‘re together.”

They walked back in and ask Ann how close dinner was as they had a story for them and could tell it while eating to soften the blow a little. They went in to the table to start dinner when Sakura started, “Ok dad, I’m going to tell you a lot of things you never knew about Tomoyo and I in our earlier days when we were about ten or so but first I need to tell you that you have a wonderful little daughter and most of this is about her right now. This could be good or it could be bad, just how you look at it and plan to do about it if you can do anything at all. Everyone looked at Sakura with anticipation of her to continue, she said, “Your daughter Amy is a Majician or Mage for short and when she finally wakes to her power, God help you all if you can’t control her early enough. Ann asks, “But how do you know Sakura? What makes you think Amy is a Mage anyway?”

Sakura looked at Tomoyo, smiled and said, “Because Mages can detect each others presence anywhere close. I can‘t figure why I never noticed her before now, what has changed, is it really Tomoyo?” looking at her now. Tomoyo with a much questioned look asks, “Me, but what did I do anyway?” Sakura smiled to say, “Well I think by you being here has either increased her power so I could finally detect it or you have increased my power to where I can detect her better with my own powers but no matter, we‘re both mage‘.” Fujitaka said, “But Sakura, how, when, why didn’t I know before now anyway?” Tomoyo smiled at them, said, “Well first mages are born with their power and you didn’t know because Mages don’t want anyone to know they are because they lose too many friends that way, Mages are quite dangerous to be around. Sakura and I did a lot of damage before we learned to fly better at first and it takes time to learn to control all that power. Dad asks, “You fly too, how?” Sakura turned to Tomoyo, they stood and she helped Sakura remove her top she had on today, Tomoyo looked at the others, said, “This is necessary to show you, Ok?” Sakura stood there with just her bra on top as she faced Tomoyo, took her into her arms and with a very passionate kiss to her lips Sakura’s wings unfolded from her back and wrapped around Tomoyo and herself for a minute, then unfolded them again to wave just the tips to raise them off the floor a little. Dad, Ann, and Amy all looked in awe as they hovered there a few seconds then set back down on the floor and they both turned to look at dad and Ann now.

Ann said, “That flight was beautiful girls but I must say that kiss was more than best friends, that kiss was of passionate love for each other I‘m sure you know already.” Sakura smiled to say, “Yes dad and mom, Tomoyo and I are getting married soon and we’re long over due but finally we will share our love forever. Tomoyo showed them her diamond ring with a smile. Right now though Amy is our big problem being a Mage too, hopefully her full powers will be activated while at home because no telling what she might do. My power is by thinking what I want to do with it,

But with Amy now there’s no telling what she might be thinking of doing being a lot younger than I was then. Tomoyo and I were in school when I noticed my full power first and now I realize it was Tomoyo that did it too. Two nights ago when we went for our midnight flight with Tomoyo on my back I was more powerful than months/years before and a while ago with Tomoyo next to both of us Mages she increased the power to one or both of us Mages to finally be recognized, Tomoyo is the catalyst to our power I believe. When we were younger and still capturing magical cards, I was always strongest when I had Tomoyo at my side. All the other times I had to really work to capture a card with Li and without her. She was the one that made me stronger all along and I just didn‘t know it.” Sakura setting by Tomoyo took her into her arms and hugged her gently, said, “I knew there was some other reason I couldn’t let you go, I’d have followed you forever to get you my love, I love you so much young lady.”

They kissed and hugged for five minutes when finally dad ask, “You girls finished with your dinner now or should I wait until you let go of each other? That is sweet girls in love is so beautiful. When did you realize you loved each other anyway?” They stopped kissing but stayed in their hug, Tomoyo said, “Well I know I’ve been in love with Sakura even when we started to school but I don’t think Sakura understood my love for her just yet. We were young and I told her that I‘d tell her again later, maybe she‘d understand then but I‘m not sure she did yet.”

Sakura with a few tears yet said, “Yes it took me a while to understand her love for me, it actually took Li to let me know for sure when I knew I could never love him ever the way I loved Tomoyo already and that love grew until school was out and I was going to confess my love to her and things would be fine but she got away from me and it took until now to find her really, but if only then?” Tomoyo smiled as she finally let go of Sakura, said, “There were so many nights we should have been together but now we got each other for our life time. Mom is thrilled of course that we‘re getting married, her and a long time friend of Sakura‘s and mine are getting married soon too, one of our school teachers, Mrs. Mizuki was one of our best. Sakura, lets ask her when we see them tonight what we should look for in Amy anyway, think?”

Ann asks, “Why asks this Mrs.Mizuki about Amy anyway?” Tomoyo said, “Well it’s because she’s a Mage also and probably second in power to Sakura here, that’s why. Sakura is very powerful as Mages go, and now I guess even more powerful with me at her side and I will be from now on too. I always thought we‘d make a good pair but I just didn‘t know how well until now, I love you Sakura my angel.” Sakura looked at everyone with a questioned look, said,” Tomoyo love, we may already have a problem here and don’t know it yet. What if you were the one to activate my full power back then, which I’m sure of now, what if you just activated Amy’s full power here also with you close to her? I think we need Kaho over here as soon as possible to see what she thinks. Tomoyo call your mom and get them over here as soon as they can get here just in case, Ok?”

Tomoyo dialed her cell and immediately got mom and thank goodness Kaho was still with her so they would be right over as Tomoyo just told her one word, AMY. They showed up in record time Sakura thought so maybe Kaho can do a little flying at that. They were greated at the door by Fujitaka and let right in as they all gathered around Amy now as she set on the coffee table in the center of the room. Right off Kaho ask if she’s made anything move, that’s about the first thing new Mages want to do, move something someplace else like something they don’t like to do. Ann said, ”Well I don’t know for sure, I think I seen her move herself the other night without moving her feet but I thought I was just seeing things as I didn’t know of her power until Sakura just senced it today.”

Kaho ask Amy if she would like to walk with her a little ways to see if she tried to rise up off the floor to keep up with her. Kaho walked a little fast for Amy and to everyone’s surprize she did rise up about half a foot and float along with Kaho pulling her in the air. Kaho stopped and Amy settled back to the floor again. Kaho took Amy up into her arms and said, “This is the cutest little Mage I’ve ever seen, the youngers too and could be a problem being so young and not know what she‘ll think of doing next.” Ann asks, “But what can we do about her anyway?” Kaho said, “Well I can always put a spell on her so she couldn’t use her full power until a certain age but that seems to be a waste of good Mage powers so just what everybody thinks?” Sakura said, “I love my little sister as a mage but she is too young to understand its power yet and it sure wouldn’t hurt to have a partner like I had with Tomoyo for all the years back then, she helped me think as we had to do things in a hurry, me do, she think. We made a super pair to contend with.” Tomoyo hugged Sakura close, said, “We still do love but we just don’t have to think as quick anymore either, well until Amy showed up now that is.” Kaho let Amy set back on the coffee table again to think a little bit when all of a sudden Amy’s shoulder blades started slowly growing. Sakura and Tomoyo knew exactly what to do, they just pulled Amy’s top off over her head to watch with everyone else there as tiny but real winge emerged from Amy’s back just like Sakura’s did earlier. Kaho said, “Well she’ll be flying everywhere when she fully develops these wings with feathers you know. Fujitaka ask Kaho if she would put a spell on her for a few years so she don’t get hurt trying something with Magic so young. “Kaho said, “I do believe that would be the best so she doesn’t get hurt, how about 11 years old as she don’t have a partner yet like Tomoyo is to Sakura. You should try and encourage her to find a girl friend she likes a lot and let them slowly become partners, together, best friends.” Amy set there a little while before her wings slowly folded back into her back. Kaho said, “Now while she’s back to normal.” Kaho did a little chant with her hand on Amy’s forhead and said, “There, that should do it, keep an eye on her just in case and I’ll change my chant a little but that should do her just fine. She will fully awaken sometime between 10 and 11 years old so I hope she has a girl friend by then, it’ll sure help her get it straight a lot sooner.” Tomoyo said, “I know of a little girl maybe 5 or 6 and just smarter than tack if we could just get them together to play together sometime to see if they might be close friends. She is the daughter of one of my girls working for me who was married to have Sara and he left for another girl so she is with one of my other girls now, the best thing that ever happened to her too as they both are happy now and Sara is like their daughter together. With Sakura and I together now, we‘ll be staying in our complex we have not far from here and probably same school district so we‘ll get them together for sure one way or another.” Kaho said, “Well how about tomorrow in the pinguin park like old times, right girls? Kaho looked at Tomoyo and Sakura now to smile at them real big.” Everyone agreed that tomorrow these two little girls would meet and hopefully for a life time too. Sonomi ask when they were taking the girls to the park. She and Kaho wanted to be there too Sakura said “Well how about 2:00 o’clock after rush hour and calm in the park? And I think this will be the most important meeting in their lives too.” Everyone was leaving as Sakura said “We’ll pick her up at 1:30 so we’ll be there on time by picking Sara up at 1:45 and be there at 2:00 so everybody that wants to look into the future a little bit hopefully is there early.” Sonomi and Kaho went to Sonoma’s mantion for the evening about to start early by looking into Kaho’s eyes when they left first. Sakura and Tomoyo left with smiles also and it wasn’t because of the beautiful seanry as they road back to Tomoyo’s smallet complex but just right for them. They managed to eat something from the packed refridgerator never taking eyes off each other much, eyes of desire and want now between them sparking with tears now that they are finally home, their home for as long as they shall live. Tomoyo was done first and helped Sakura finish her desert, cherry pie. Their lips were together on the last bite and this started a loving evening to just take it all in, absorbe it until finally they understood the magnatude of them finding each other again and with love they never thought possible for them without their special partner for life. They managed to carry each other kind of to the small but addaquit shower for two now anyway. They washed, out and dried and to the small bed they went and the smiles never left their faces until they entangled and the kiss that seamed to last a life time.

Sonomi and Kaho did the same in their home and even planed their wedding and date too hopefully. They’re love was still there and they did too the rest of the night. The next day came early for these two couples that was trying to catch up on love they missed but they did get up finally and the big thing for the day was Amy and Sara at 2:00 in the park so Sonomi and Kaho got around and dressed to go out as it was almost 11:00 then so they went out for lunch close to the park so they could get there in time.

Tomoyo and Sakura had gotten up earlier and was going to take Kero with them to meet the girls so everyone was ready and lunch over with already and it was getting time to think about going to pick up the girls and head to the park. Tomoyo’s Limo pulled up to the next complex next door and Tomoyo’s girl June brought Sara out to the car and helped her in the seat. Tomoyo introduced her to Sakura and they left for the next stop. They pulled up to Fujituka’s house and Ann brought Amy out to the car like the other little girl did and seatted them right together as Tomoyo introduced them to each other with them smiling at the other now. A good sign Sakura thought as the girls even got close enough to rub shoulders together and laugh a little.

When they pulled up to the park the little girls really had a big smile on their faces and even held hands for the first time for a million they all hopped. They both run to the slide first and they took turnes who was first to go down which surprised Tomoyo and Sakura standing by the slide now. Sonomi and Kaho were next to a tree near by. Kero was in his now famous stuffed animal pose on Sakura’s shoulder to look on with out being noticed by the little girls as they continued on the slide. After a little while they wanted to swing so they got on a swing next to each other and tried their best to not out swing the other all along still smiling at each other.

They swing for quite a while just looking at each other but finally stopped and thought about playing in the sand but Sakura said that if they didn’t get dirty she would take them to get an ice cream desert when they were done in the park so the girls understood that enough that they didn’t get dirty at all. They must really want that ice cream. They played in the park for two hours and finally tired they were ready for their desert. Tomoyo’s Limo took everyone to the near by Ice Cream place where the two little ones set together very close and everyone knew they were holding hands under the table which was so cute.

They got their ice cream soda and started eating one of the two and they finished almose kissing they were so close with their straws. Then the same on the second one but the diffedence was that they did actually kiss on the last straw full with lips together for only a second but they were there and it was so sweet that Tomoyo just had to take their picture of their last few minutes of their ice cream soda and lips together. Tomoyo sak the girls if they would like to visit the park again soon before school starts and they would both be in the same school also. The two smiled at each other and both said yes to Tomoyo’s question.

It was time to take everybody home so they started with Sara as they wanted to visit with Fujitaka and Ann a little about Amy. They pulled up to a stop and Sara just kissed Amy on the lips just like she did this all the time which really surprised everyone now. Tomoyo took Sara up to the complex to let June know that the girls had a very good time and we would try it again before school starts. Now with the next stop at Amy’s house they walked Amy up to the door and Ann invited them all in as Sonomi and Kaho was still with them yet. Sakura said that they had a super time and were going to do it again before school too.

Tomoyo said, “I seen something in Sara’s eyes that was in my own eyes years earlier even before capturing cards so Sara definitely had different feelings for Amy than just best friends they found today. It was almost like the love she had for Sakura early on. With everyone inside now and the door closed, it was Kero’s time to talk which surprised Fujitaka and Ann but not Amy for some reason as if she knew already that he should be alive and talking. Kero looked at everyone to say, “Well I think you all know by now that Amy here is going to be our next Card Captor and she’s going to be good too with Sara at her side to think quicker for her while in action so to my best friend ever, Sakura you should have no regrets turning the book over to Amy and just think you’re keeping it all in the family as well and if she ever runs into trouble she can always come to you and Tomoyo for help, is this agreeable with everyone here then? Our Amy here as card captor and Sara as her back up, partner hopefully for life like Sakura and Tomoyo.”

Kero smiled, said, “In 5 years we’ll start this capture thing all over again girls with Amy and Sara.”
