7 "Hoe!!! I'm going to be late again.. Kero-chan why didn't you wake me??" Sakura shouted at Kero-chan frustrated as she
|
rlm@2
|
8 grabbed her hat off the back of the chair. She was out the door before Kero-chan even had a chance to remind her that last
|
rlm@2
|
9 time he tried to wake her up, he was almost seriously injured by her. "Ohayou onii-san. Where's papa?" Sakura asked as she
|
rlm@2
|
10 shoveled her breakfast into her mouth..
|
rlm@2
|
11
|
rlm@2
|
12 "He left this morning for his business trip remember?" Touya reminded her trying not to piss her off this morning.
|
rlm@2
|
13
|
rlm@2
|
14 "Oh.." Sakura said sounding dissapointed. "Wah! I'm going to be late. I'm suposed to be there early today." Sakura yelled
|
rlm@2
|
15 towards Touya as she rushed to put on her roller blades and took off towards school. Sakura sighed as she skated towards
|
rlm@2
|
16 school taking in the sight of the flowers that are begining to bloom now that spring has come again.
|
rlm@2
|
17
|
rlm@2
|
18 "Yo! Sakura-chan. Chotto matte." Yukito yelled as he saw Sakura skating in front of him. She turned around and slowed down
|
rlm@2
|
19 waiting for him to catch up. "Ohayou, Sakura-chan." Yukito said smiling at Sakura. She tried not to blush but failed and could
|
rlm@2
|
20 only manage to mutter "Ohayou, Yukito-san" back at him. Feeling shy around Yukito, Sakura couldn't think of anything to talk
|
rlm@2
|
21 about so she just decided to enjoy riding to school with him.
|
rlm@2
|
22
|
rlm@2
|
23 As Sakura's school came into view she started saying goodbye to Yukito and turned into her school where Tomoyo was
|
rlm@2
|
24 waiting for her. She stopped to watch as Yukito rode on towards his school and he turned around throwing something at her.
|
rlm@2
|
25 "A present for you." He said as he rode out of sight tossing a piece of candy to her. Sakura blushed again and Tomoyo noticed.
|
rlm@2
|
26
|
rlm@2
|
27 "He always has something for you doesnt he Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said as she watched Sakura blush even more. "Come on
|
rlm@2
|
28 now, we can't be late to class."
|
rlm@2
|
29
|
rlm@2
|
30 "Hai!" Sakura shouted for no reason. Taking Tomoyo's hand into her own she took off towards class. Tomoyo just looked
|
rlm@2
|
31 down at her hand that was holding on to Sakura's reminding herself that Sakura is just to young to understand. "When your
|
rlm@2
|
32 older. I'll tell you again so you can understand...Just how much I love you Sakura-chan," she thought to herself.
|
rlm@2
|
33
|
rlm@2
|
34
|
rlm@2
|
35
|
rlm@2
|
36 During their break Tomoyo and Sakura sat outside watching as Meiling chased Li-kun around trying to get him to be her
|
rlm@2
|
37 boyfriend. The two girls giggled as they discussed how persistant she is. "Ne, Tomoyo-chan. Would you like to come over
|
rlm@2
|
38 after school? Papa-san is away on a business trip and Touyo is going to Yukito's tonight to study so I'd be all alone and it'd be
|
rlm@2
|
39 nice to have your company for a while," Sakura concluded looking at her best friend.
|
rlm@2
|
40
|
rlm@2
|
41 "Of course!" Tomoyo smiled at Sakura and sighed to herself. "This becomes more difficult every day. Now I know how
|
rlm@2
|
42 okaa-san felt when she was in love with Sakura's mom. It is depressing when the other is completly oblivious to your feelings."
|
rlm@2
|
43
|
rlm@2
|
44 Sakura noticed the change of expression on Tomoyo's face and asked her if something is wrong. Tomoyo just forced a smile
|
rlm@2
|
45 trying to convince Sakura. "Why dont we go help Li-kun get away from Meiling for a little bit? All she does is chase him
|
rlm@2
|
46 around. It must get tiring." Tomoyo suggested trying to get her thoughts of Sakura out of her mind. Sakura nodded and the two
|
rlm@2
|
47 took off after Li-kun.
|
rlm@2
|
48
|
rlm@2
|
49
|
rlm@2
|
50
|
rlm@2
|
51 "Tadaima Kero-chan!" Sakura shouted as she entered her home tugging Tomoyo behind her. "Eh, where's Kero-chan? He
|
rlm@2
|
52 usually comes to the door to greet me."
|
rlm@2
|
53
|
rlm@2
|
54 "Didn't you say you have a fight with him the other night?"
|
rlm@2
|
55
|
rlm@2
|
56 "Yeah, but I thought he got over it. Maybe he's just up in my room sleeping or playing that new game he got." Tomoyo nodded
|
rlm@2
|
57 at her friend and they headed upstairs to Sakura's bedroom. As Sakura opened the door and stepped inside her room her jaw
|
rlm@2
|
58 dropped to the floor. "KERO-CHAN," Sakura said trying to keep her temper in check. "What have you done to my stuff?"
|
rlm@2
|
59 She asked looking at pricless contents of one of her desk drawers. She noticed all the notes that Tomoyo had given her were
|
rlm@2
|
60 laying on the floor along with other keepsakes.
|
rlm@2
|
61
|
rlm@2
|
62 Tomoyo placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder calming her down and went to pick the stuff up off the floor. She noticed that
|
rlm@2
|
63 Sakura had kept the notes from her and blushed slightly. "Maybe there is hope," she thought to herself. She decided to take a
|
rlm@2
|
64 chance, and asked Sakura why she kept all of them.
|
rlm@2
|
65
|
rlm@2
|
66 "Because they are from my best friend and they are very important to me. Just like you Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said giving
|
rlm@2
|
67 Tomoyo a warm smile.
|
rlm@2
|
68
|
rlm@2
|
69 Tomoyo blushed again and looked at the desk. "So where'd all this stuff come from?" Sakura pointed at the drawer Kero-chan
|
rlm@2
|
70 removed them from and Tomoyo tapped on the drawere. "It's safe to come out Kero-chan," Tomoyo whispered.
|
rlm@2
|
71
|
rlm@2
|
72 Kero-chan poked his head out of the drawer and looked at Sakura. "Gomen nasai Sakura-chan. I only wanted to have some
|
rlm@2
|
73 space for myself."
|
rlm@2
|
74
|
rlm@2
|
75 "Daijoubu Kero-chan." Sakura said finally after calming down. Just ask next time you do something like that, ne?" Kero-chan
|
rlm@2
|
76 nodded his agreement and the trio went downstairs to fix something to eat.
|
rlm@2
|
77
|
rlm@2
|
78 As Sakura was preparing some food Tomoyo was videotaping Kero-chan and finally turned the camera on Sakura. "Aww..
|
rlm@2
|
79 Sakura your so cute when you cook," Tomoyo said drawing Sakura's attention. When Sakura noticed she was being taped a
|
rlm@2
|
80 rather large sweat drop appeared on her head. "If only she knew how much I meant it."
|
rlm@2
|
81
|
rlm@2
|
82 "Arigatou Tomoyo-chan," Sakura smiled at her friend and went back to cooking. After their food was done the girls along with
|
rlm@2
|
83 Kero-chan sat down to eat and talked about school and their friends. Tomoyo frinally brought up how she thought Li-kun was
|
rlm@2
|
84 starting to get a crush on Sakura even though Meling was after him.
|
rlm@2
|
85
|
rlm@2
|
86 "Hontou?" Sakura asked blushing. "Do you really think he likes me?"
|
rlm@2
|
87
|
rlm@2
|
88 Tomoyo only nodded that he does like her. Then she felt like kicking herself for bringing it up. She felt herself slipping into a
|
rlm@2
|
89 depression over it. "Can something really hurt so much? But I have to keep torturing myself. Why???" she thought silently.
|
rlm@2
|
90 Sakura noticed the change in Tomoyo's facial expressions and asked her friend if she was alright.
|
rlm@2
|
91
|
rlm@2
|
92 "Yeah, I'm fine." Tomoyo tried to convince Sakura. It seemed her best friend knew her better than she thought. Sakura still
|
rlm@2
|
93 wasn't satisfied though.
|
rlm@2
|
94
|
rlm@2
|
95 "Thats why I asked you here Tomoyo-chan."
|
rlm@2
|
96
|
rlm@2
|
97 "Huh? I dont get it."
|
rlm@2
|
98
|
rlm@2
|
99 "You seem...distant lately. Like there's something on your mind all the time. And I just want you to know, if there's anything
|
rlm@2
|
100 wrong, or anything you need to talk about I'm here for you." Sakura said smiling gently at Tomoyo. "Actually, why dont you
|
rlm@2
|
101 stay here tonight? Tomorow we dont have school and we could go on that picnic we were suposed to have a while ago."
|
rlm@2
|
102
|
rlm@2
|
103 "Are you sure?" Tomoyo asked not wanting to be a bother to anyone. Sakura nodded at her friend and took one of Tomoyo's
|
rlm@2
|
104 hands into hers.
|
rlm@2
|
105
|
rlm@2
|
106 "Let's go shopping ne?" Sakura suggested. They both cleaned up after eating and decided to go out for a while.
|
rlm@2
|
107
|
rlm@2
|
108
|
rlm@2
|
109
|
rlm@2
|
110 Once the girls returned from their shopping trip is was already dark outside and they were both exhausted from their busy trip
|
rlm@2
|
111 shopping. "I can't believe you spent a whole months allowance already Sakura-chan. But that shirt will look so good on you."
|
rlm@2
|
112 Tomoyo said complimenting Sakura for the millionth time that day.
|
rlm@2
|
113
|
rlm@2
|
114 "Why dont we go to bed now Tomoyo-chan? I'm so exhausted." Sakura said leading the two upstairs. When they entered the
|
rlm@2
|
115 room they found Kero-chan still playing his new game and yelling at the tv screen. They both laughed at him getting his
|
rlm@2
|
116 attention.
|
rlm@2
|
117
|
rlm@2
|
118 "Did you two get me anything?" He asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.
|
rlm@2
|
119
|
rlm@2
|
120 "Gomen ne Kero-chan. Not this time."
|
rlm@2
|
121
|
rlm@2
|
122 "Oh well. I guess I'll just go to sleep then he said saving his game.
|
rlm@2
|
123
|
rlm@2
|
124 "Ano.. Sakura-chan. I came here right after school so I dont have anything to sleep in."
|
rlm@2
|
125
|
rlm@2
|
126 "It's okay Tomoyo-chan. You can wear something of mine." Sakura looked through her clothes and found something that
|
rlm@2
|
127 would be good for Tomoyo to sleep in. After the two girls changed Tomoyo began to head downstaris when she felt Sakura
|
rlm@2
|
128 take hold of her hand. "Its always when she touches my hand that makes me hurt the most." Tomoyo thought quickly.
|
rlm@2
|
129
|
rlm@2
|
130 "Where are you going Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked her friend.
|
rlm@2
|
131
|
rlm@2
|
132 "I was going to sleep on the couch."
|
rlm@2
|
133
|
rlm@2
|
134 Sakura just smiled at her for a moment. "Baka, your sleeping in my room with me." Sakura told her not giving Tomoyo much
|
rlm@2
|
135 choice. "Great. Being that close to her. Watching her sleep. I wont sleep at all tonight." Tomoyo only smiled and followed
|
rlm@2
|
136 Sakura to her bedroom.
|
rlm@2
|
137
|
rlm@2
|
138 The two crawled into Sakura's bed and Kero-chan turned off the lights after they were situated.
|
rlm@2
|
139
|
rlm@2
|
140 "O-yasumi" He said to the two girls as he layed down in his new bed in Sakura's desk drawer. As the two girls lie there in the
|
rlm@2
|
141 dark they talked until almost midnight. Sakura moved so that she was now laying on her back and as she resituated herself her
|
rlm@2
|
142 hand brushed up against Tomoyo's. "What is that weird feeling I just got?" she asked herself. Tomoyo had stopped talking and
|
rlm@2
|
143 Sakura just laid there not bothering to move her hand away from Tomoyo's.
|
rlm@2
|
144
|
rlm@2
|
145 As Tomoyo tried to think of anything in the world other than the fact that Sakura's hand was touching her (and trying to
|
rlm@2
|
146 remember to breathe) Sakura was deep in thought. She was thinking about her relationship with Tomoyo and all the things they
|
rlm@2
|
147 had done together. She thought about all the comments Tomoyo had given her. And then one incident stuck out in her mind. "I
|
rlm@2
|
148 love you Sakura." then later. "I'll tell you when your older." Sakura thought as much as she could trying to figure out what that
|
rlm@2
|
149 meant.
|
rlm@2
|
150
|
rlm@2
|
151 Finally she figured it out. But could Tomoyo really like her..like that? No, thats not the problem. She knew Tomoyo liked her.
|
rlm@2
|
152 She just pretended not to.. But the problem was..Did she like Tomoyo back? Yes. she did. She loved Tomoyo too. "Hoe.
|
rlm@2
|
153 What am I going to do?" Sakura thought to herself. "What do I do now? Do I tell Tomoyo I love her? No, I wont tell her. Then
|
rlm@2
|
154 what?" Sakura's mind was whirling as she lay next to Tomoyo frozen in place. "That's it. I'll show her." she concluded.
|
rlm@2
|
155
|
rlm@2
|
156 Sakura moved her hand ever so slightly so that it was resting on top of Tomoyo's. She held on to Tomoyo's hand and
|
rlm@2
|
157 entertwined their fingers. "Sakura-chan?" Sakura didn't say anything to Tomoyo leaving her best friend full of questions. Sakura
|
rlm@2
|
158 then rolled over wrapping one of her arms around Tomoyo's waist and fell to sleep. Tomoyo, not daring to move a muscle, was
|
rlm@2
|
159 wondering what was going on here. "Is this a joke? Could it be, that she likes me? No, she'd never feel like that. She's to young
|
rlm@2
|
160 to understand."
|
rlm@2
|
161
|
rlm@2
|
162
|
rlm@2
|
163
|
rlm@2
|
164 When morning came Tomoyo's mind was still at work wondering why Sakura was holding on to her so tightly. She hadn't slept
|
rlm@2
|
165 one bit. Sakura woke up in Tomoyo's arms and smiled to herself. She held on to Tomoyo a little tighter letting Tomoyo know
|
rlm@2
|
166 she was awake. Sakura looked up at her friend innocently and asked, "Sleep well?"
|
rlm@2
|
167
|
rlm@2
|
168 Tomoyo could only mumble a few words that didn't make sense. "Your so cute Tomoyo-chan," Sakura smiled at her and got
|
rlm@2
|
169 out of bed. "Evil. She is evil," Tomoyo thought. "Tomoyo-chan, after we shower lets go on our picnic, ne?" Tomoyo could only
|
rlm@2
|
170 nod at her friend, as she still lay paralized.
|
rlm@2
|
171
|
rlm@2
|
172 A few hours passed and the girls had gotten dressed and they were just finishing with packing their lunch. "Todays the day. I'll
|
rlm@2
|
173 tell Tomoyo-chan how I feel today at our picnic." Sakura told herself. "Are you ready Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked and the
|
rlm@2
|
174 two girls headed out the door.
|
rlm@2
|
175
|
rlm@2
|
176 "Ano..Kero-chan isnt coming Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
|
rlm@2
|
177
|
rlm@2
|
178 Sakura thought back to when Tomoyo was in the shower earlier and how she bribed Kero-chan not to come along today.
|
rlm@2
|
179 "Onegai Kero-chan? I'll make you a whole cake just for you if you just stay behind today. There's something I have to tell
|
rlm@2
|
180 Tomoyo and there can't be anyone around when I tell her." Sakura pleaded with the guardian beast.
|
rlm@2
|
181
|
rlm@2
|
182 "What do you have to tell her?"
|
rlm@2
|
183
|
rlm@2
|
184 "You'll see soon enough. Just trust me."
|
rlm@2
|
185
|
rlm@2
|
186 "Fine, but I get a whole cake tommorow. All to myself." He demanded crossing his arms.
|
rlm@2
|
187
|
rlm@2
|
188 "Arigatou Kero-chan!" Sakura exclaimed hugging him. Sakura laughed as she was remembering the conversation and turned to
|
rlm@2
|
189 Tomoyo. "He said he wanted to stay home and finish his new game today," Sakura informed her friend. "Well, you ready?"
|
rlm@2
|
190
|
rlm@2
|
191 The girls headed to the park and Sakura's heart was racing. "This isn't going to be easy. I can't believe this. What if something
|
rlm@2
|
192 goes wrong? At least I know she wont reject me." Sakura's mind was going a mile a minute and she couldn't wait to get to the
|
rlm@2
|
193 park and get this off her chest.
|
rlm@2
|
194
|
rlm@2
|
195 They found a nice spot under a tree to place their blanket and sat down. Tomoyo began to unpack their lunch when she felt
|
rlm@2
|
196 Sakura take hold of her hand. Tomoyo stopped and looked at Sakura. "What is it Sakura, is something wrong? You look
|
rlm@2
|
197 scared."
|
rlm@2
|
198
|
rlm@2
|
199 "No nothings wrong," Sakura shook her head and conintued. "Its just, there's something I have to tell you. You see, it's that,
|
rlm@2
|
200 I...I.." Sakura paused, looking at Tomoyo's eager face. She was sure Tomoyo knew what she was going to say but she was
|
rlm@2
|
201 still scared to admit it out loud.
|
rlm@2
|
202
|
rlm@2
|
203 "Hey, Sakura have you seen Li-kun around her?" Meling shouted as she saw two of her friends. "Must kill," Sakura thought
|
rlm@2
|
204 looking at Meiling with an evil smile. "What's with the evil look Sakura? Something wrong?" Meiling asked innocently.
|
rlm@2
|
205
|
rlm@2
|
206 "I'm trying to have a private conversation with Tomoyo at the moment." Sakura retorted.
|
rlm@2
|
207
|
rlm@2
|
208 "Oh? What about?" Meiling was being persistant and was getting on Sakura's nerves. "Oh food, mind if I have some?" she said
|
rlm@2
|
209 already with food in her hands almost to her mouth.
|
rlm@2
|
210
|
rlm@2
|
211 "Meiling, could you please leave us. I need to talk to Tomoyo privatly." Sakura was on her last nerve and about to use one of
|
rlm@2
|
212 her clow cards to dispose of Meiling.
|
rlm@2
|
213
|
rlm@2
|
214 "Tell me whats so important first."
|
rlm@2
|
215
|
rlm@2
|
216 "No." Sakura crossed her arms over her chest.
|
rlm@2
|
217
|
rlm@2
|
218 "Yes."
|
rlm@2
|
219
|
rlm@2
|
220 "No." Sakura now extremly pissed and losing her temper.
|
rlm@2
|
221
|
rlm@2
|
222 "Yes."
|
rlm@2
|
223
|
rlm@2
|
224 "I'm trying to tell Tomoyo I love her okay? Now leave me alone and go chase Li-kun. Do whatever you want. But let me tell
|
rlm@2
|
225 Tomoyo I'm in love with her okay?" Tomoyo and Meiling's jaws were dropped to the floor. Meiling could practicaly see flames
|
rlm@2
|
226 coming from Sakura's head and decided to quickly make her exit.
|
rlm@2
|
227
|
rlm@2
|
228 "Excuse me for a moment. I think I have to go umm.. Chase Li-kun for a while or umm.. something." Meiling said as she ran
|
rlm@2
|
229 from Sakura. Sakura smiled proudly at herself for getting rid of Meiling and then frowned. "Great, it was supposed to be
|
rlm@2
|
230 special when I told her I love her," Sakura thought out loud.
|
rlm@2
|
231
|
rlm@2
|
232 "Sakura-chan," Tomoyo startled Sakura out of her thoughts. "If you really do mean that, it was very special just hearing you say
|
rlm@2
|
233 it."
|
rlm@2
|
234
|
rlm@2
|
235 "I did mean it Tomoyo-chan. I'm in love with you, not Li-kun or Yukito-san. Your the one who makes me feel special. Who's
|
rlm@2
|
236 always trying to make me happy. I'm just sorry it took me so long to realize it. Last night, when I was laying in bed..." Sakura
|
rlm@2
|
237 trailed off thinking how nice it was to be laying with Tomoyo. "Last night you held me in your arms. I know you didn't sleep at
|
rlm@2
|
238 all, and I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. I just needed to be sure. But when I was laying, listening to your heart beat, feeling
|
rlm@2
|
239 your arms around me. I felt happier than I had ever been in all my life. I love you Tomoyo-chan." Sakura finished and looked at
|
rlm@2
|
240 her best friend. Tomoyo had tears in her eyes and Sakura wiped them away.
|
rlm@2
|
241
|
rlm@2
|
242 Tomoyo tried to speak, but once again no words would come out. All she could do was throw herself into Sakura's arms and
|
rlm@2
|
243 hold on to her with all her might. "I love you Sakura. I always have" Tomoyo said as she released her hold on Sakura. She
|
rlm@2
|
244 looked up at Sakura who was now crying tears of joy. Tomoyo smiled at her and leaned in so she was only a few inches from
|
rlm@2
|
245 Sakura's face. "I promise I'll make you happy Sakura-chan," she said.
|
rlm@2
|
246
|
rlm@2
|
247 "You already do silly." Sakura closed the distance between them and kissed her friend on the lips. "Now what do you say to
|
