[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Tomoyo gratefully took hold of the beautifully wrapped box and gently peeled off the wrapper. She opened the box and in it was the Daidouji symbol plastered into a small pendent, yet something was different, instead of just a great stallion with both moon and sun on one side to represent independence, strength, unity, and beauty, there was something added. There were plum blossoms surrounding the outer circle, even though the whole pendent, including the chain, was gold, there were carefully carved out violet diamonds to indicate the delicate flowers, "Thank you so much! I'm very grateful!"
"We're glad. Tomoyo stands for Plum Blossoms right? Well, we hope that you'll never forget who you are. Be proud." Yuki smiled as she went back into her fiancé's arms. Everyone smiled and remembered their gifts as well. Each person giving something full of riches or generosity, some flowers filled with exquisite features. Sakura came up shyly to the princess and handed her a bouquet, "I heard you liked Magnolias and Cherry Blossoms, so I made a special bouquet for you, all by myself. I hope you cherish it for I took so much time picking them out of my garden." Sakura was proud and smiled as Tomoyo took in the present full of joy. The Lord and Lady of Kinomoto both had given the young princess silver set of jewelry that had the carvings of each Japanese kanji used as a charm, which had included love and beauty. The Li clan had given a specially made pair of fans that included all the symbols of Daidouji and Li ancestry. These pair of fans were special, including beauty and strength for they weren't for accessory only, they were weapons as well having blade tips. Yelan promised to have one of her daughters teach the techniques of using such weaponry. Also to add to their presents from the Li sisters demand, they had made out a black Chinese dress with red dragons roaming all over.
Tomoyo was excited with every gift she has received. Even her parents not only given her one of the biggest celebrations in the entire lands and beyond, however they also had gotten Tomoyo a big jewelry box with carvings of a nightingale on top, of which was believed to be good luck through out the rest of the years of one's life. When Tomoyo opened it she gasped as she opened the box for what was in it was one of the family's treasures passed down to each family of the Daidouji, a ring with the Daidouji symbol carved on it. Next to it was the Amamiya's passed down hair comb, with jewels from afar put onto the base it. Tomoyo hugged her parents and cheered, "Thank you everyone for all your wonderful gifts!"
However as she said those exact words, the candle light began to dim down and all of a sudden smoke filled the floors as if fog. Syaoran, Touya, and Yuki all in instinct went on guard, as did the Li clan. All the parents took hold of there young ones close away from any danger. Sakura and Tomoyo took hold of each other's hands and when they saw light flash the both covered their eyes and ducked, as well as everyone else in the party. After few moments later, everyone went up as they noticed the lights were back and the fog cleared, the only difference was that there were two cloaked people facing the princess and Sakura.
The first and tallest one took one step forward, everyone in suspense, "Sorry if we have frightened you, but we tried to get here as fast as we can…" A deep voice came upon the creature, he chuckled looking around as everyone was still holding back he smiled, and took of his hood. The appeared to be a man, a tall and handsome man with dark blue hair, dark as the midnight sky, with sapphire eyes that sparkled through the candle light and hid behind the rim of his glasses, of which made him seem wise yet mysterious. The robe was designed to imitate the beauty of the night sky, including the moon and a dim sun on the back, there was gold dust to represent the stars of the starlit night, "Well I, Clow Read (Ha! Thought it was Eriol!), am deeply sorry for startling all of you… We hope we didn't ruin the big fiesta…" When the king took a good look at the new comer, he smiled a big smile and approached the two figures. He gave 'Clow Read' a nice big hug, creating everyone to relax.
"Clow! It's been so long!" King Kai released his hug of his long time friend, "You haven't ruined the party, trust me… You have given it more life than it did…" Both men laughed as Lord Fujitaka came towards them.
"It's good to see you again Clow! How have you been all these years?" Fujitaka did the exact same actions as his friend the king towards their childhood friend.
"It's been great, and by the looks of it… Life has been treating you all the same as well… I'm happy to see you all grew up happily. Oh yes, this is my wife and associate, Kaho Mizuki…" Clow had pointed out to the other figure, whom had taken off her hood. Both Tomoyo and Sakura looked at each other and back to the beautiful lady standing before them. Kaho had long flowing scarlet hair that went down to her waist. Her long robe was similar to the one her husband wore, except hers was colored red, it covered her body hiding her perfect figure. Yet what made the girls so in trance of her beauty were her soft and gentle light brown eyes, that made almost anyone feel in peace, well except the young knight Syaoran Li.
"It's nice to meet you all, I do hope to be acquainted with each and everyone of you." Kaho smiled as she did a deep curtsey. She walked up to her husband and nudged him in the stomach. He was surprised at first, until he saw her wink and laid her eyes on the young princess, he was then confused until it hit him.
"Princess Tomoyo…" he gestured for the girls to come forward, of which they followed in respect. "Have you received your presents already? Well, Kaho and I have something for you as well…" Clow gestured the people surrounding him to back away a bit. He closed his eyes and held out his hands before him. Everyone had their eyes set onto the magician, inside them screaming with excitement, while they did the opposite action of intense waiting. Everything went dim just as before, and Clow held out a light before him, wind blowing out of no where. The light blinded everyone's sight, so they turned away for a moment. When the wind seemed to die down, they looked back ahead at what was created from such mystery magic. Tomoyo gasped for before her were two gorgeous looking creatures, "These are for you and Sakura for I wasn't able to attend Sakura's previous birthday… I would like for you to meet Cerberus and Spiniel. They are gentle creatures and are there to watch out for you as well as keep you company… They will become your guardians as well as your friends to stay by your side no matter what…"
Clow patted both felines on the head and gestured them to go to their new mistresses. They both purred and got up from their laying position. The faced the young girls, who were a good few feet away, they looked down as if to bow. To the girls surprise, wings sprouted out from both creatures, one with wings of an angel as the other wings of a black and blue butterfly. Both creatures flew to their new owners, having their wings disappear, and bowed once again. Sakura hesitated at first, trying to touch, but backed away. However, when 'Cerberus' licked her hand she smiled and hugged the creature tightly as it snuggled in return. Tomoyo looked at Sakura and her new pet, she smiled at the site and turned her attention towards her new guardian. He was beautiful and she stroked his fur of which he replied with a soft purr against the touch of his new master.
Cerberus had golden fur that shinned in the light as Spiniel's fur would only compete against the darkness of the night. The two felines seemed to be of opposites, as Cerberus seemed of the spontaneous and playful sort with it's golden eyes and full grown lion figure, without the mane. He had a red ruby on his forehead attached with an armor-like necklace around his neck, also accessorized with a ruby on its front, there was also an earring on his left ear to match. While as Spiniel was the cool type, with his dark blue eyes and slender figure of a slick panther. He too had a few accessories, a turquoise jewel on his forehead, with a butterfly pendent and cuff on his left front paw to match.
"Thank you Read-san!" both girls curtsied and gave a hug towards the magicians. After awhile of more greetings and mingling towards everyone. They had banquet full of delicious dishes that wouldn't stop coming in by the faithful servants, of whom joined in the party after their duty. It was a grand party full of music and dance, even Syaoran and Sakura had a couple of dances to enjoy with a few pushes from Tomoyo. The two felines were in the corner, already finished their meals and just watching out for their mistresses, while everyone else continued their stories towards each other. While the full moon shone completely, Tomoyo asked to be excused so that she may walk and enjoy the night breeze in the garden.
