Cardcaptor Sakura Volume 9 Act 1
From now on, "I" may make you despair... but if it's Sakura,  "surely you will go throught it well".
<Volume 9, Act 1>
(Fujitaka: You're going to meet Tomoyo?) (Sakura: Yes, and I need to stop by one more place.)
Sakura: Then I"ll go on ahead.
Fujitaka: Hold on for a second. <Hand her a egg-shaped book bag>
Sakura: Hoe?
Fujitaka: Today's White Day, isn't it.
Sakura: Wow-- (Did father make this?) (Fujitaka: Yes.) Thank you very much.  I"ll be right back.
Fuijita: Yes, it's Kinomoto Fujitaka. Sonomi! Thank you for helping me at Valentine's Day.  Sakura was really happy, too.  Huh? ....Grandfather?
Voice: Sakura-san.
Sakura: Eriol-kun?
Eriol: I guess you're going somewhere.
Sakura: Yes.  I'm going to distribute White Day presents. (Since today's Sunday, we don't go to school.)
Eriol: (White Day...) It's a day that you say thanks for the gifts you've received at Valentine's Day?
Sakura: February 14th is Valentine's Day and March 14th is White Day. There is no Valentine's Day where Eriol came from?
Eriol: (It's not that there isn't any, but) We don't have a tradition of exchanging chocolates. (Sakura: Then what do you give to people?) (Eriol: Things like flowers.  And now only do girls give to guys, but lots of guys give present to girls.)
Sakuar: Oh-- Then Eriol never received a Valentine Day's chocolate before?
Eriol: ....no.  I did receive one.
Sakura: Wow-- from who?
Eriol: Someone very beautiful.
Sakura: (That person) I'd like to meet that person. (Ah, I have to go this way.) (Eriol: It's this way for me.) Then I'll see you tomorrow!
Eriol: See you tomorrow.  ..the person who gave me the chocolate... you've already met that person, Kinomoto Sakura.
Sakura: Tomoyo-chan!
Tomoyo: Sakura-chan!
Sakura: (Have I kept you waiting for a long time?)(Tomoyo: No, I've just arrived.) (I'm sorry for calling you out like this. ) Here! This is White Day's present!
Tomoyo: Thank you.
Sakura: It can't even compare to Tomoyo's delicious chocolate, but...
Tomoyo: If it's something that Sakura had given to me, even if it's a piece of lead I"ll never break it for the rest of my life and keep it preciously!
Sakura: I"m not confident about snacks, so I've made a purse. (I'm not that good, but I learned from my father.) (Tomoyo: No, it's great.)
Tomoyo: ...I'll keep it carefully.
<Shaoran is in his living room, his incantation symbol underneath him as he holds out his sword horizontallly, concentrating....>
Shaoarn: ....can't do it.  No matter how much I look for that person, I can't find that person... Does that mean the owner of that coat has much stronger "powers".... <Ding-dong> Yes.
Sakura: That's great, Shaoran-kun was home!
Shaoran: Ho, how did you get here.
Sakura: Ah, thank you. Everything is organized neatly.
Shaoran: It's like all other homes.
Sakura: No. It's really impressive, especially since you're living all alone.
Shaoran: Wha...what are you talking about.
Sakura: Ah! This. Since today's White Day.
Shaoran: Why, why are you giving it to me?!
Sakura: Because Shaoran gave me a chocolate.
Shaoran: W, w, w, w, when did I?!
Sakura: You left it in our house's mail box on the night of February 14th. (I went out to get morning newspaper in the 15th and found it.)
Shaoran: H, h, h, h, how did you figure out that it was me? (It's not like there was a card or anything) <Shaoran who confesses that he was the one without even realizing it>
Sakura: I can tell.  Because it's Shaoran's gift. But is it okay even if I accept it? The person that Shaoran likes will be...
Shaoran: Th...that's all right.
Sakura: (Thank goodness. I was wondering what I would do if you wanted it back, since I ate it all.) Thank you.
Shaoran: Ah....may I open this?
Sakura: Sure! So, sorry. It's not well made at all.
Shaoran: N, no. This chopstick case is very well made.
Sakura: It's a pencil case.
Shaoran: Oh no, I meant...
Sakura: No, you can use it as a chopstick case, too.
Shaoran: No! It definately looks like a pencil case to me.  No matter which way you look at it, it's a gorgeous pencil case!
Sakura: Shaoran-kun is really kind.  I'm really happy that I became friends with Shaoran-kun.  Because Shaoran is really kind and cool, I"m sure whoever Shaoran loves will also love Shaoran, too. So Shaoran should be courageous too! Okay?
Shaoran: (Thanks for that thought, but....) *sweat*
Touya: Yuki-- ...he's not home? (Ah, he's over there.) (Whatcha doin'?) Yu...Yuki!
Yukito: ....Touya.
Touya: You scared me!
Yukito: I"m so sleepy one of these days... That's strange. I slept a lot yesterday, too...
Touya: You said you'll come to our house today, but no matter how long I've waited, you didn't came, so... you wouldn't answer the phone, either....
Yukito: ....Sorry, I didn't even realize a phone call came..... Because today's White Day, I got this for Sakura....<He collapses>
Touya: Hey, hey!
Yukito: I"m sorry...I"m so sleepy somehow...
Touya: ...I hope you'd  realize it more quickly.... Yukito....
Fujitaka: I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
Grandpa: ....no.  I'm sorry to call you out all of a sudden.
Fujitaka: That's all right.
Grandpa: ...please sit.
Fujitaka: ...it has been a long time.
Grandpa: How many years has it been?
Fujitaka: This is the first time since you've received a wedding invitation from Nadeshiko-san and I.
Grandpa: Is that how it works out.
Fujitaka: Yes.
Grandpa: ...I've received it very well from Sonomi.  Sakura's Valentine's Day chocolate.  Just like how Nadeshiko had presented it every year.  Chocolate, a letter, and nadeshiko.... in the letters, she had wrote as hard as she can about how happy Nadeshiko was.  And... how happy Sakura is right now.  ...will you give this to Sakura? Tell her that it's a White Day's present.
Fujitaka: I'm sure Sakura will be very delighted.
Grandpa: ...there was something I've always wanted to tell you.  ...thank you.  And.... sorry.  ...I knew.  That sine you were the man that Nadeshiko chose, you were the one who can make her the happiest....
Fujitaka: ...But it couldn't be helped that you couldn't accept to give your precious Nadeshiko to a bum like myself who doesn't have any known relatives, and who doesn't know even where he was born....
Grandpa: ...no, I was being stubborn.  Even though I had her around for only 16 years, I was too lonely to allow her to marry....It would have been so great if I was able to tell that child.... that she chose a really great person...  that my granddaughter was the happiest person...
Fujitaka: ...I'm sure she's listening. ...Somewhere out there....
<Nadeshiko is floating on top of a tree near them, smiling. She notices Eriol.  She smiles at Eriol and disappears. Eriol looks down at Fujitaka from the tree top, a mysteroius smile on his face. The two looks strangely similar....>
Sakura: I"ve returned!
Fujitaka: Welcome back.
Sakura: What's this?
Fujitaka: It's White Day's persent from Sakura from Mother's Grandfather.  He sent his thanks for Valentine's Day chocolate.
Sakura: Is Grandfather here?!
Fujitaka: No, it(the package) arrived today.
Sakura: But he was happy, so ....that's a relief! Wow!!
Fujitaka: Would you like to put it on? (I"m sure it'll look great on you.)
Sakura: But... if oniichan comes home... (he'll make fun of me again.)
Fujitaka: Touya is sleeping over at Yukito's house. (Sakura: Is that so.)
Sakura: Then it'll be all right.
<Sakura thumps up the stairs and slams open the door, smacking Kero right across his forehead.>
Kero: A, again....
Sakura: Sorry!
Kero: (One of these days) why does this always happen~ <Sakura throws her clothes on top of Kero> (You change super fast.)
Fujitaka: It looks very nice.
Sakura: Come to think of it, I recieved a dress from a grandpa a while back, too. (A laced one like this one.)  From that grandpa who was alone when we were visiting that summer house.  I wonder if great grandpa understood? That mother and I are really happy.
Fujitaka: ....I'm sure he knows very well.
Sakura: Will I be able to meet grandfather some day...
Fujitaka: Of course. Sure you can.  Right, Nadeshiko-san.
*I really didn't like this dress...in fact, it was the only custom that CLAMP ever drew that I didn't like.*
