"Touya?" Fujitaka's voice was quiet as always. "It was your turn to do the laundry today, right?" The dark head nodded. "Yes, Everything's folded and put away." "Mmm." Fujitaka looked mildly put out. "That's odd, I was sure I had an extra pair of socks in my drawer, and I have to pack for the weekend conference. I can't seem to find them...." "You can borrow one of mine." Touya stood up from the kitchen table, but stopped as Sakura ran down the stairs into the room. "Has anyone seen my new socks?" Sakura shot an annoyed look at Touya, as if she suspected him of stealing. "I mean, I have one of them, but I can't find the other – and it was your turn to do the laundry." Touya shrugged. "I didn't take your socks." Turning back to his father, Touya gestured. "I'll be right back." Sakura and Fujitaka shared a confused glance, then watched Touya turn the corner on the stairs. They could hear his footsteps go down the hall, enter his room. There was a pause as, assumably, he opened his dresser drawer. A second or two passed, and all of a sudden, Touya's agitated tread was audible once again. Uncharacteristically, he came tearing down the stairs, taking the steps two at a time. Touya charged into the kitchen, each hand clutching a single object. Holding the items up, he looked at his father and sister and said, "Okay – who took my socks?" Sakura started to laugh at her brother's indignation. Then she sensed it. No...it couldn't be...she looked up and saw Kero-chan waving one paw frantically behind her brother's head. "Um...maybe the washer's broken, I'll go check!" And she was out of the room. Once in her bedroom, she stared at Kero-chan in disbelief. "You're not telling me that Clow created a...." "Yes," the Seal Beast confirmed with a grimace. "It's responsible for all missing socks." Sakura rubbed her face with both hands. "One day, Kero-chan, you're going to have to tell me again just how brilliant Clow was. But first, let's go get the Sock Card."
