A young girl of 5 years old ran into her parents bedroom, crying. ‘Sakura-papa! Sakura-papa!’ she cried out.
Sakura turned suddenly at her daughters cry. She still wasn’t used to being a “father”.
She wasn’t sure she’d ever get used to it. ‘What’s wrong Kumi-chan?’ she asked. Kumiko sniffed before answering,
‘Hikaru-chan says it’s not normal to have two girls as parents!’ she said before starting to cry again.
Sakura slowly wrapped her arms around the young girl. ‘Do you think it’s wrong?’ Sakura asked when Kumiko had stopped crying. Kumiko shoot her head slightly.
‘No! You’re my papa and Tomoyo-mama is my mama!’ she said as Sakura gently brushed some of her dark hair out of her eyes.
‘What’s wrong Kumi-chan?’ Tomoyo asked, entering the room after hearing her little girls cry for her “father”.
‘Hikaru told her it’s not normal to have two girls as parents!’ Sakura said, looking up.
‘Kumi-chan, do you want to hear a story?’ Tomoyo asked. Kumiko wiped her eyes and nodded.
‘Do you want to hear about the time Sakura-papa couldn’t remember poor Tomoyo-mama?’ Sakura asked.
Kumiko nodded. Sakura sat on the bed and gently set her little girl on her knee and took a deep breath.
‘Well, it started a long time ago..’

Sakura’s story

Sakura looked at the person sitting next to her and felt her heart flutter.
Tomoyo had told Sakura how she felt and was surprised to find Sakura felt the same about her.
‘Mrs Kinomoto! Could you answer the question?’ the teacher asked, forcing Sakura back to reality.
Sakura blushed slightly before answering. ‘Correct! Please be more attentive in class!’ Sakura nodded and sat down then heard Tomoyo giggle slightly. She smiled at her pale girlfriends evil sense of humour. Tomoyo smiled sweetly at Sakura and the lesson continued. They held each other’s arms as they walked home. Sakura could feel Tomoyo’s cool skin against her own. Then she leaned closer and kissed Tomoyo’s cheek lightly.
Then all she felt was pain.
It all happened in slow motion. Tomoyo saw Sakura fall to the ground, slowly.
She caught her auburn haired card mistress before the hard pavement could meet her. Then she felt something warm against her hand.
When she brought her hand away from the back of Sakura’s head she knew what it was. Blood.

Tomoyo sat near Sakura in her hospital room for 3 days. She would talk to her, read her things from books and magazines.
On the fourth day Sakura woke up and there came an unpleasant surprise for her pale girlfriend.
Sakura opened her eyes to find an unfamiliar girl lying across her. ‘She’s cute!’ she thought, blushing.
‘What am I thinking?’ she asked herself. Then the girl opened her eyes and looked at Sakura.
‘She’s not cute.. she’s beautiful!’ Sakura thought, her blush deepening.
‘You’re awake!’ the pale girl said before tightly hugging Sakura.
‘I’m sorry but.. who are you?’ Sakura asked when the girl moved away.
‘It’s me Sakura-chan, Tomoyo-chan! I’m your girlfriend!’ she whispered, lightly kissing Sakura on her lips
 She leaned back slightly before initiating a long sweet kiss. Sakura, to her own amazement kissed back.
Tomoyo leaned back and blushed slightly. Sakura was shocked. ‘Does this mean I’m gay?’ Sakura asked.
This confused Tomoyo. ‘Sakura-chan, we’ve been a couple for over 3 years now!’ Tomoyo said, trying to help Sakura remember.
Sakura tried her best to remember. There were flashes but nothing about them came.
‘I’m sorry Tomoyo-chan, but I can’t remember anything about us!’ Sakura said sadly.
She felt strongly about this girl and instinctively knew she didn’t want to hurt her, but seeing her now, she knew she had.
Tomoyo couldn’t believe it; she had lost Sakura’s love. 3 wonderful years as a couple had been lost in a freak accident.
She tried to hide the pain she felt from the brunette, but failed.
Sakura hugged Tomoyo close and could hear her crying softly. She tried to comfort her but couldn’t.

Intermission

‘You mean you couldn’t remember anything about Tomoyo-mama?’ Kumiko asked.
‘Hai!’ Sakura said sadly. ‘Poor Tomoyo-mama!’ Tomoyo said, playfully. Kumiko giggled while Sakura blushed a dark red.

Back to the story

The next few days were difficult for both young women. When she woke up Sakura had thought she was still only 8 years old.
She was surprised when she realised she was a lot older. Sakura was having indiscriminate flashes from her memory.
Most of the flashes was about her and Tomoyo.

Flash

‘I love you so much Tomo-chan!’ Sakura whispered, her voice filled with emotion.
‘I love you too Sakura-chan!’ Tomoyo whispered, her voice equally emotional.
Then they kissed. Softly at first but then more passionately.

End

Sakura shook her head. She was slowly realising that what Tomoyo told her was true and had the answer to her question.
She loved the other girl. She was gay.
‘I never thought I’d fall in love with another girl!’ she thought. She shook her head again and sighed.
She was still getting used to being 9 years older then she thought. She sighed again as another flash took her.

Flash

Tomoyo blushed slightly as Sakura looked at her through her new video camera.
‘Happy birthday Tomoyo-chan!’ Sakura said, smiling brightly.
Many cards could be seen behind her pale girlfriend.
It was Tomoyo’s 16th birthday and Sakura had said she was going to do something special for her.
Her smile grew slightly as she went into another room, not before kissing Tomoyo lightly.
Sakura left the room about 15 minutes later wearing nothing but a bathrobe. Sakura smiled as she handed Tomoyo the camera.
Tomoyo played the tape and was surprised to see Sakura doing a very slow strip tease. Tomoyo smiled at Sakura.
When the video finished, she pounced. She striped them both. And they made love. They held each other for hours afterwards.
‘Thank you Sakura!’ Tomoyo whispered. Sakura smiled and held her girlfriend and now lover close to her chest.
‘Happy birthday Tomo-chan!’ Sakura whispered, lightly kissing Tomoyo’s forehead.

End

Sakura blushed, and looked down on her bed. ‘Did we actually do that? On my bed?’ she thought. Her blush brightened.
Then she looked over at her desk. There sat her very own video camera.
She picked it up and looked at the little screen as she pressed the play button.
She blushed as she saw herself standing in front of the camera, naked.
‘Are you sure you want to do this Tomoyo-chan?’ came her voice.
Then Tomoyo walked into view, in an equal state of undress.
Tomoyo nodded and they started kissing and feeling each other’s bodies.
She blushed even brighter when she heard moaning and saw what they were doing.
She switched it off and went to see Tomoyo. She knew how she felt about the pale girl and she needed to tell her.

Tomoyo hugged her pillow tightly wishing that it were Sakura.
It had been almost a week since Sakura had woke up and she had lost the brunettes’ love, possibly for good.
‘Why couldn’t it be me?’ she asked herself, for the millionth time.
There came a gentle knock on the door and Sakura walked in. ‘Hi Tomoyo-chan!’ Sakura said, walking up to the pale girl.
‘Hi Sakura-chan!’ Tomoyo whispered, wiping away her tears.
‘I’ve remembered something important Tomoyo-chan!’ Sakura whispered as she hugged Tomoyo.
‘What’s that Sakura-chan?’ Tomoyo asked. Sakura smiled and leaned closer and lightly kissed Tomoyo on her lips.
Sakura leaned back smiling dreamily, Tomoyo looked at her for an explanation. ‘How much I love you!’ she whispered.
Tomoyo smiled before starting to cry again. Sakura hugged the pale girl, tight.
‘I love you Sakura-chan!’ she whispered, rubbing her lovers back.
‘I love you too Tomo-chan! I love you too!’ Sakura whispered back. Then they kissed again and again.

End

‘I remembered something that told me that Tomoyo-mama meant more to me than anything!’ Sakura said.
Kumiko smiled brightly. ‘I’m glad you remembered Sakura-papa!’ Sakura smiled slightly.
‘Me too Kumi-chan!’ Sakura said.
‘Do you want to hear about the time Tomoyo-mama thought I was going to leave her for her greatest rival?’ Sakura asked.
Kumiko looked at Sakura, ‘Were you really?’ she asked, her stromy blue eyes shimmering with tears.
Sakura smiled, ‘Shall we find out?’ she asked as Kumiko nodded furiously.

Tomoyo’s story

Another day had ended and many students walked slowly out of the school.
It had been another day in a very long running heat wave.
There were two students in particular that walked away from the school only seeing themselves and no one else or the heat.
Tomoyo and Sakura walked way from the school hand in hand.
There were a few more layers to these students then there should be.
On the outer most layer they were best friends and students in their local junior high school.
On the second layer was Card Captor Sakura, mistress of the cards and her intrepid sidekick always ready with a video camera and a newer and better costume.
On the inner most layer they were a pair of maturing teenagers who were very much in love.
Only a few people really knew that Sakura and Tomoyo had become romantically involved.
But to those that knew them; it wasn’t a big surprise.
They were a little excited because they were going to go on their first official date.
Sakura had thought that they had been dating for over 5 years, with Kero as their chaperone at times of course.
Tomoyo had agreed when she found out that Sakura was in love with her that they had been dating for awhile, but they decided that now she knew they were dating, that night should be their first official date. ‘I can’t wait for tonight Tomoyo-chan!’ Sakura said quietly, leaning closer to her pale girlfriend. ‘Neither can I Sakura-chan!’ she replied, smiling dreamily. They walked together in silence. As they walked Tomoyo had started to think about why Sakura loved her and couldn’t think of anything. They looked around and saw that they stood outside of Sakura’s house.
Tomoyo sighed as they entered.
When Sakura shut the door and turned to face Tomoyo, she could see the pale girl was wearing a dismal expression.
This worried Sakura. ‘What’s wrong Tomoyo-chan?’ she asked.
She had rarely seen her pale girlfriend even look like this. ‘What about Li-kun?’ Tomoyo asked.
‘What about him?’ Sakura asked as a reply. ‘Sakura-chan, Li-kun said he would come back for you!’ she said.
‘But we don’t know that he will!’ Sakura said, smiling lovingly at her girlfriend.
Tomoyo sighed and looked straight at Sakura, making their eyes meet.
‘I just want to know why you love me!’ Sakura looked at her best friend and girlfriend and smiled.
‘I love you because you’re smart and beautiful. You can make me laugh when everything seems hopeless. Whenever a problem is too tough to solve, you give me the inspiration I need to solve it!’ Sakura told her, gently stroking her cheek. Tomoyo looked at her and smiled.
‘Did you think that when Li-kun does come back that I’d leave you for him?’ she asked softly. Tomoyo nodded sadly. She knew that this might end when Syaoran returned, but she had a pretty good idea where Sakura was going in this conversation.
‘That won’t happen Tomoyo-chan! I promise!’ she whispered, before lightly kissing Tomoyo on the lips. When she leaned back she could see a few tears escape Tomoyo’s eyes, she smiled as she wiped them away. Tomoyo smiled and hugged Sakura tightly.
‘I love you Sakura-chan!’ she whispered into Sakura’s clothes. Although the words were muffled, Sakura heard them loud and clear.
‘I love you too Tomoyo-chan!’ she whispered back, kissing the top of Tomoyo’s head.

Intermission

‘Why did you think that Tomoyo-mama?’ Kumiko asked. Sakura and Tomoyo sweat dropped at the question.
Their daughter was developing a habit of asking very insightful yet awkward questions.
‘Well, I knew Li-kun liked your father as well, so I thought that I was only going to be her girlfriend as long as he didn’t come back.’ Tomoyo explained.
Kumiko wore a blank expression after her mothers’ explanation.
Tomoyo giggled slightly, Kumiko was just like her father in a lot of ways.
‘Silly Tomoyo-mama!’ Sakura whispered, drawing out a giggle from her daughter. Tomoyo smiled before continuing her story.

Back to the story

Days later they found out that Li-kun had returned as he had promised Sakura.
Sakura, true to her word, told Li-kun that she was in love with someone else.
This was after Li-kun attempted to kiss her. Tomoyo had been right next to them when it happened.
She had been surprised that her girlfriend had been able to keep her cool when she saw it happen.

Earlier that day:
Sakura and Tomoyo were walking to school arm in arm, smiling happily.
‘Sakura-chan!’ someone yelled from behind them. When they turned around they could see it was Syaoran running up to them.
He had returned like he had promised. When he caught up to them, he took Sakura into a bone-crushing hug.
‘Um.. Li-kun! You’re hurting me!’ she said, her voice sounding really strained.
‘Oh! Sorry Sakura-chan!’ he said, ‘It’s just that I missed you!’
When he looked at her, his eyes were screaming out his intentions.
He leaned closer until his lips were only half and inch away from Sakura’s.
Just then Sakura stopped him and looked at him apologetically.
‘I’m sorry Li-kun but.. I.. I’m in love with someone else!’ she said, looking away. ‘Who?’ he asked.
‘All I can tell you is that you know her!’ Sakura told him.
When she looked at Tomoyo, she could tell that Sakura had given him a huge hint.
But Syaoran seemed like he didn’t get it. ‘Her? You mean you’re in love with another girl?’ he asked sceptically.
‘Yes! Is that a problem?’ she asked. He smiled slightly and shook his head.
‘To me? No it’s not. It might be to a lot of other people though!’ he said.
Sakura and Tomoyo smiled at him. ‘Thank you Li-kun’ they said in unison. He nodded and headed towards the school.
The looked at him as he headed off into the distance. ‘I think he took it well!’ Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded.
‘I think he took it very well!’ Tomoyo said. They smiled at each other, leaned closer and kissed.
When they leaned back they continued to look at each other.
‘We’d better hurry or we’re going to be late!’ Tomoyo said, giggling. ‘Yeah!’ Sakura said, giggling as well.
Taking Sakura’s hand in her own, they started to run, laughing as they went.

End

‘Did they really happen?’ Kumiko asked.
‘Well.. your mother’s story did, I made mine up to make you feel better!’ Sakura said.
Kumiko smiled slightly. ‘Do you feel better Kumi-chan?’ Tomoyo asked.
Kumiko nodded, hugging her mother before leaving the room. Sakura looked at her pale wife and smiled.
She slipped her arms around the other woman’s shoulders.
‘I love you Tomo-chan!’ she whispered, lightly kissing Tomoyo’s cheek.
‘I love you too Sakura-chan!’ Tomoyo whispered back.
‘When do you think she’ll realise that both stories aren’t true?’ Tomoyo asked.
‘I don’t know! But at least she’s feeling better now!’ Sakura said.
They smiled at each other before they kissed lightly.
Years later Sakura, Tomoyo and their youngest daughter watched as Kumiko went on her date with her girlfriend.
They smiled; watching the same kind of love they had show in their daughter and her lover.
