Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ The Mix of Love and Time ❯ Necklaces ( Chapter 3 )

I am sorry for my very long break for anyone who was waiting. I promise to never do that again because I am so terribly ashamed of myself, I am lazy and I know it. This is a rewrite of the third chapter because it was my frustration with it that led to my writing disappearance. Is suppose, I must add a warning that in this fanfiction Tomayo is in love with Sakura just like in the series. So if you do not approve of Yuri or Yaoi then you are warned and do not flame because of it because you will simply be ignored. In this story any time normal a person would say `Lord knows' or `Oh my God', lord or god is replaced with Majesty because he is the equivalent to these people.

 

I own no part of CCS, besides the story line of course.

 

Chapter 3

Necklaces

 

I bring you back to a world of summer warmth and love where no matter what, all are happy …but one.

 

Tomayo never understood why Sakura would go off like she does, leaving the castle to go out and do nothing but stare at the wind. She should be happy Tomayo thought with the Male Majesty in love with her and a loving marriage to look forward to, she should be happy. But Tomayo her best friend knew, Sakura did not love the Male Majesty. It made her sad to think about, but she didn't believe that the Male Majesty loved her either. Why then? Why, would he give up his throne to marry Sakura?

 

Sakura was to die alone unless a man or woman was willing to take her shame and even out her loss of status. No one would risk their place in the world to become no more than a beggar in yellow. I would have, if she would love me, I would live and die beside her and be happy. That would never be Tomayo knew that, ever since the very day that she met and fell in love with Sakura.

 

Ten years exactly to the day, in the past…

 

“Miss Tomayo.” A busy maid called “Miss Tomayo, are you dressed yet? Oh good, you are; now we have to go, your mother is already downstairs and everything is ready.”

 

“Thank you. How do I look?” With her blue hair tied with ribbons of every shade of lavender accenting her eyes and complementing her violet dress, Tomayo was a sight to behold.

 

“Now Miss, stop fussing you look beautiful and you know it. Are you excited?”

 

Tomayo smiled, and then laughed “To receive a necklace before I am married and one with such a great status, how can I not be.”

 

“Yes, you are very lucky. To bad it had to come from your father's death, Majesty bless his life, but now you will have no trouble for suitors. Unlike that poor girl, Sakura I believe her name is, sweet as day and smart as a whip, but she'll be lucky if she is allowed to marry. If she does the person she marries will lose everything and Majesty knows what would happen to them.” She made a thoughtful phase before continuing. “I still don't know whatever convinced the Majesty to take her on. Now, let's go downstairs and make an entrance that anyone can be proud of.” She held out her hand for Tomayo to take and together they left the room and unknowingly led Tomayo to the day that would be the best and worst day of her life.

 

Majesty, can this man drone on. Honestly it is only a necklace; he is making it seem like he is placing a baby around her neck or something. With this very silly thought in her head and she burst out into a fit of giggles that everyone in the room could hear.

 

Oh I can't believe it a necklace, I could make myself a house now, with a garden for flowers and a pathway with only…wait is that giggling…who would dare giggle at a time like this…? She turned around and the world turned with her as she laid eyes on a blonde girl in a very cute pink dress, who then smiled up at her. Tomayo snapped back around with a blush on her cheeks and dared not look again. Finally the man said the last few words and placed a red crystal around her neck which turned purple.

 

She was quickly swarmed by almost every adult in the room, congratulating her and offering advice but her mind was elsewhere. Where is that girl in the pink dress I must speak with her? Oh all these people are blocking the view, I wish they'd move. Almost instantly people started moving away and talking with others around them, leaving Tomayo to find the girl in the pink dress. Oh… she was enveloped in pink arms from behind then heard a voice and was snapped back into reality.

 

“Congratulations. I am so sorry that I giggled but the strangest thought went through my mind and I couldn't help it.” The pink girl said with the biggest smile on her face.

 

Tomayo answered the smile with one and “That is no problem. It is nice when you are happy.”

 

Sakura thought this was strange as they had just met, which reminded her. “What is your name?”

 

“Tomayo and you are?”

 

“Sakura”

 

With that thought her daydream ended and she realized she could see the woman of her thoughts before her.

 

“Sakura.” She shouted

 

A beautiful girl with shorter, untidy hair, wearing red turned around and waved.

 

“Tomayo, your back, I thought you'd be gone for weeks, I missed you terribly”

 

She hugged her dearest friend as Tomayo beamed. Sakura had no idea that with that one sentence she had made her friends day or maybe week.

 

Answering truthfully “Oh Sakura I think I wouldn't work, if I couldn't come home and see you.”

 

Sakura smiled, at her strange friend and squeezed her hand “So I finished the talk with The Male Majesty, we will be married in 6 months with the first bloom of cherry blossoms.”

 

“That is suiting, the most appropriate time for a wedding.” Tomayo said with a frown.

 

“Yes, we both thought so.” Sakura answered with a half-hearted smile.

 

“You shouldn't be married.” Tomayo almost cried “You don't love him.”

 

“But he loves me and I want him to be happy.”

 

“That is not a reason…”

 

“Tomayo.” She said harshly “we have talked of this there is no other path to take. I can not risk anyone else's life because the effect on them would be drastic, all the Majesty loses is his throne, others…” she paused and said more softly “would lose everything. There is no other way and this is the last time I will speak of it.” With that she started to walk away.

 

“Come, my friend.” Sakura held out her hand. “Let us go back, where a welcoming party waits for you.”

 

“Yes, no doubt my mother has thrown together quite a gathering.” But I wonder what type of life awaits you, Sakura.

 

As time sails by, a party has ended, tired dancers make their way home and Sakura strolls through the palace. Tracing the carved designs in the wall and lightly humming she daydreams when suddenly Sakura find herself in a corridor she has never seen before. Oh no, I'm lost. Majesty, the only time I get lost I am by myself. Maybe this door leads to somewhere out of here. Oh my…

 

Before Sakura stands a glass wall made of every color imaginable and in it stands a man, who is unlike anyone she has ever seen. So beautiful, hard and cold, he says something then disappears.

 

“Wait come back.” She cries, but for vain for he is gone. Sakura hears someone coming and looks one last time before leaving, running down the hallway while remembering her steps so that she can come back again… to see him again. Smiling to herself she runs down the hallway.

 

End Chapter 3

What do you think? Now before you say, she can't fall in love with him already, remember this is on Love, everyone falls in love at first sight, just like with Tomayo.
