Sawada Tsunami

In the five years Sawada Tsunami lived with her maternal cousins the Kinomotos, she flourished well as noted by Kinomoto Fujitaka and Touya.

She was sent to live with them by Fujitaka's maternal cousin Nana when Tsunami began suffering bullying since her husband left for work and somehow, months before he left, Tsunami's grades plummeted as fast as a ball falling to the ground and became incredibly clumsy, becoming 'no-good Tsunami' said by her peers and the poor kid is severely stressed when she came and is incredibly afraid of the unknown, wondering if kids in Tomoeda will bully her too AND without her mother. And to think she was really smart in the beginning that she started school early, being in Grade One at age 5 when most kids start at age 6!

However, what the family did not know is that Toya had sensed what was wrong with his suffering cousin, and he knew what to do to get rid of it and his mere presence healed her more. Since that day, Tsunami was emotionally dependent on Touya while trying hard to be a good role model for Sakura who was three years younger and too young to understand being just in kindergarten. However, being near Touya...influenced her too...spiritually. She could SEE things as well and with Touya's understanding nature, she learned to accept and understand, becoming as mature and level-headed as he is...but she is still dependent on him. Staying with him more also brought out the best in Tsunami as she grew up. Her looks, her grades, and her powers. In regards to looks, it makes sense since her father is half-italian, making her quarter-italian but she still resembles her mother more and he encouraged her to take on self-defense classes on his advice, so she took on Karate just like him since there's not much martial arts programs offered and Tokyo is quite the distance even by train.

But when Touya is in Junior High and met Tsukishiro Yukito...they both sensed he is 'different', but Touya...fell HARD...and Tsunami is very supportive of his feelings and finding his shyness 'cute' and waited for the day he would fess up to the other, which often gets her a playful bonk or a noogie from her cousin...and Tsukishiro Yukito soon became a familiar face in the house with Touya inviting him in because his grandparents are on a seemingly 'Senior Honeymoon Phase', leaving him mostly alone in the house...

Yeah...

They 'bought' that story...for now.

And growing up in a very athletic family of good cooks to boot...Tsunami learned plenty from her uncle and older cousin, and soon, Sakura began emulating her family too with Nana visiting for a week every month to check on her daughter and is very happy with the changes and how happier she was here than at home that Nana thought she finally recovered from her slump.

Touya and Tsunami wisely said nothing about their powers...

Even when weird stuff started happening around Sakura...and it was Tsunami who found out HOW weird exactly.

'Tsunami,' said Touya back at school when the two had to stay late that day. Touya due to him and Yukito called on as substitutes for some sports clubs for tournaments, while Tsunami stayed behind due to practice for the next day's Nationals in Karate, being a 10th Dan Black Belt and the Captain of her team. And its not her who's practicing...its her teammates and she's supervising with their trainer. They looked to see several lights shooting out towards the sky...and its coming from their area of the neighborhood. 'Can you go check on that when you get home?'

'Sure.' said Tsunami. 'I just hope she's OK...that's our area isn't it?'

'Aa...'

At 6 pm when Tsunami got home, she sensed three powerful presences in the house. One by where the living room is...under the blue carpet behind the couch. Then at the library-basement where Fujitaka's many books and 'office' are...under the table. They were two cards and are pretty hard and stiff despite how it looks. They couldn't be bent either. Then again they ARE supernatural in origin... 'Wood and Rain...and the kanji says 'ki'(tree) and 'ame'(rain)...I better keep you guys with me.' she said as she took a pen from Fujitaka's desk and wrote her name on the bottom. Intuition demands it so. Her kanji is written as bonds and beauty thus her name means 'beautiful bonds'. Upon taking the cards, she went to her room to get alcohol and a cotton, with which she used to remove the ink on Rain while Wood was easier to clean, being only dusty. Once the ink is gone and two more scrubbings, she has to keep the cards on her at all times for safety's sake. Then she tiptoed to her cousin's room where the third presence is but Sakura is CLEARLY talking to it!

"It seems harmless...but I'm keeping an eye on things just incase." she thought. "I better make dinner, its my turn today." she snuck downstairs to start on dinner. Rice, Miso Soup and Oyakodon toppings to put on the rice later. For dessert, she made Dorayaki with mango jam filling. Touya will be home soon and the uncle won't be home till the wee hours of the night and will be eating outside. Being an Uni Professor must be very busy.

And so...

'I'm home!' Touya called out as he saw his cousin taking out dorayaki from the oven. 'So...find out anything?'

'Well...get your butt over here...it seems Sakura got herself into the supernatural business too.' Tsunami said wryly to Touya's disbelief. 'Remember those glowing sparks shooting out?' Touya nodded stiffly. Tsunami produced the cards from her pocket and let him hold it and he knew these cards are something more.

'Y-you mean...?'

'Yep. Three in our house, one of whom talking to Sakura upstairs about catching these cards lest some catastrophe happen so she got the job...' Touya twitched at this in utter irritation. 'And she got a sealing wand from him judging by the conversation. Looks like we're in for some interesting times...' Touya did a face-palm. 'We can't seal the cards since we can't seal it. We'll be darn lucky to find them in their card forms before they turn loose...and they're under our command if our names are written on them. My intuition demanded I write my name on so I did.'

'The catastrophe must relate to what they can do if loose.' Touya sighed. 'Wood and Rain huh?' he could imagine Wood creating more trees until there's a jungle and Rain...well, self-explanatory and not-so-bad...until it starts flooding, that is.

'Let's find and sense more of them in Tomoeda and Tokyo.' Tsunami suggested. 'Then when the time comes, let's give them to her.'

'I don't want to.' Touya grumbled and he meant forking the troublesome cards over and cause Sakura more worries.

'I don't want to either but whatever she talked to must be the authority behind the cards, meaning, we don't get a choice.' said Tsunami wryly. 'He chose Sakura to clean up his mess so...we take it out on him when the time comes, shall we?' she said with a sinister smile, and a smile Touya shared with her because whoever this is, dragged his sister into his mess.

Nobody messes with his sister and gets away with it.

'So what's for dinner?'

'Oyakodon, Miso Soup and Mango Jam Dorayaki.'

'Dad made us Purin though...'

'Not cold enough!' Tsunami pouted. 'I want mine reeeeaaally cold and he just made it this morning! The colder Purin is the sweeter it is for me!' Touya sweatdropped. What kinda logic is THAT? 'Anyway, better call down Sakura for dinner now. I'll set up the table.' she said as she took back her cards.

'After I get changing! Hold on the call!'

And so...dinnertime...

Sakura wolfed down her dinner like its an eating race, leaving Touya and Tsunami stunned. 'Gochisousama!' she went to take her bowl to the sink before taking out a Purin and some Dorayaki.

'Where're you taking those?' Touya asked her as she went upstairs.

'I'm gonna eat while studying!' and her door shut.

'Yeah, right.' Tsunami snorted skeptically.

'Whoever's with her in there will eat it.' said Touya wryly. The older teens sighed when they sensed something appear and a strong wind flew into the house from outside. 'And here's one now...how will she catch it?' he said worriedly as they heard a rustling from the bushes in their yard. They went to the window to see Sakura leaving with a yellow plushie flying after her and she's in her pajamas and roller skates. They went to the roof to see a huge spirit bird...

'Sakura's going to catch THAT?!' they both yelped in horror. Sakura's tiny compared to that thing!

'It seems to be by the shrine...' Tsunami stammered out...and for some reason, its diving on one location...

'I got a bad feeling about that behavior...' Touya gulped as it kept diving on one place...and soon, yellow ropes appeared to wrap around it and it fell. 'Looks like kaijuu did it. How she did is the question...and that stunt shaved off years off my lifespan!' he shuddered. 'I'm making that stuffed toy's life miserable as soon as I can.'

'Count me in.' said Tsunami stiffly as they returned inside the house. 'We're definitely looking for sleeping cards ourselves!'
