1 notes: well this is definatly weird for me to write. I always swore I would never ever write anything that involved
|
|
rlm@2
|
2 Sakura and Syaoran as a couple but this was just a crazy idea I got while being bored in school. As for Meiling's
|
|
rlm@2
|
3 character, I'd like some feedback about that. I've only seen her in the movie so I don't know much of her personality
|
|
rlm@2
|
4 to know if she's out of character or not. But I did the best I can. As for ages, let's just say that they are in high school.

7 Tomoyo's moving on?
|

rlm@2

|
|
rlm@2
|
9 "Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked her friends name to see if she was asleep or not.. When she felt Tomoyo shifting in
|
|
rlm@2
|
10 the bed she knew her friend was still awake. "I'm sorry for coming here so suddenly tonight. It's just I had no where
|
|
rlm@2
|
11 else to go, and your the only one I can turn to."
|
|
rlm@2
|
12 "Daijoubu, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said, her voice seeming loud to her as she held her best friend in her arms. "I'm
|
|
rlm@2
|
13 glad you feel like you can still come to me like this."
|
|
rlm@2
|
14 "I told you Tomoyo, I'll always love you as my best friend, and I'll always need you. I just dont feel the same as you.
|
|
rlm@2
|
15 Gomen ne."
|
|
rlm@2
|
16 "I know, and I couldn't ever ask for more than your understanding of my feelings. I'm glad your still my best friend."
|
|
rlm@2
|
17 Tomoyo said as she enjoyed the feel of having Sakura in her arms. When she had told Sakura of her true feelings she
|
|
rlm@2
|
18 expected that they would grow apart. That Sakura would hate her. Much to her suprise, and Sakura's, they two grew
|
|
rlm@2
|
19 even closer. Just not in the way Tomoyo had always dreamed of.
|
|
rlm@2
|
20 At first it was hard on Tomoyo knowing Sakura would never return her feelings. But when she thought of nights like
|
|
rlm@2
|
21 the one she was having now, everything seemed okay. She still had Sakura, and was very important to Sakura. After
|
|
rlm@2
|
22 a few months the pain went away and she learned how to enjoy what she and Sakura had.
|
|
rlm@2
|
23 "So you want to tell me what happened with him?" Tomoyo asked still unsure of why Sakura showed up at her
|
|
rlm@2
|
24 house crying and how she ended up in her arms.
|
|
rlm@2
|
25 "He got mad at me. I don't why or what happened even. He was just so cold to me. He..he said he hated me," Sakura
|
|
rlm@2
|
26 stopped as tears once again claimed her eyes. Tomoyo held on to her tightly as she ran her fingers through Sakura's
|
|
rlm@2
|
27 hair trying to calm her.
|
|
rlm@2
|
28 "I'm sure he didn't mean it. Syaoran isn't the type to do that. He's probably just stressed about something and I'm
|
|
rlm@2
|
29 sure he regrets the whole thing now," Tomoyo assured her friend. She saw Sakura look up at her in the dim lit room
|
|
rlm@2
|
30 and wiped the tears from her eyes. "It'll be okay. I promise you. I know how much he loves you. Almost as much as
|
|
rlm@2
|
31 I do," Tomoyo stopped to laugh for a second. Never had she imagined being able to talk about her feelings so openly
|
|
rlm@2
|
32 to Sakura.
|
|
rlm@2
|
33 "Arigatou Tomoyo-chan. I don't see how I could ever live without your support," Sakura said as she snuggled closer
|
|
rlm@2
|
34 to Tomoyo. "I know I don't make it easier on you, but you really should get over me." Sakura told her friend.
|
|
rlm@2
|
35 "Maybe one day. But as for now I don't think there could ever be anyone that can live up to you. I know you and Li-
|
|
rlm@2
|
36 kun will be together forever so I'll have to get over you eventually. But I don't see any need to force myself to get
|
|
rlm@2
|
37 over you." Tomoyo was content with being like this. Sakura was still by her side. She learned to give up the false
|
|
rlm@2
|
38 hope that one day Sakura would change her mind, but she still enjoyed these nights. Minus the fact that Sakura was
|
|
rlm@2
|
39 usually hurt whenever she needed Tomoyo so much.
|
|
rlm@2
|
40 After a few minutes of silence Tomoyo noticed that Sakura had finally fallen asleep. 'Things could definatly be
|
|
rlm@2
|
41 much worse for me,' Tomoyo thought before falling to sleep herself.
|
|
rlm@2
|
42 ______________
|
|
rlm@2
|
43 The next morning Tomoyo woke up when she heard a soft knock on her door. She realized Sakura was still in her
|
|
rlm@2
|
44 arms, and not wanting to wake her she silently told the maid to come in her room. "You have a visitor Tomoyo-san,"
|
|
rlm@2
|
45 she informed her. "It's that boy Li-kun."
|
|
rlm@2
|
46 As Tomoyo knew he would, Syaoran was there to apoligize to Sakura and make up for the other night. He came into
|
|
rlm@2
|
47 the room and Tomoyo still had Sakura in her arms. She finally got out of bed and left Syaoran with his girlfriend.
|
|
rlm@2
|
48 "She's all yours now. Just don't make her cry anymore," Tomoyo told him as she left her room.
|
|
rlm@2
|
49 Sakura finally woke up when she felt cold fingertips on her cheeks. She smiled when she saw him, then pulled away
|
|
rlm@2
|
50 from him as she remembered the previous night. Syaoran looked away from Sakura with shame in his eyes.
|
|
rlm@2
|
51 "Gomen nasai Sakura. I never meant to hurt you or make you cry. Forgive me please?" He sounded so desperate
|
|
rlm@2
|
52 Sakura thought. She knew he truely regretted it but she didn't want to just go running back to him. "I love you," he
|
|
rlm@2
|
53 said breaking the silence. "I won't hurt you anymore. I'm just not good at this sort of thing."
|
|
rlm@2
|
54 Sakura smiled knowing just how true that was. "I love you too," she said as he took her in his arms. After a few
|
|
rlm@2
|
55 minutes of silence Syaoran started laughing as he remembered who was downstairs waiting to talk to Tomoyo.
|
|
rlm@2
|
56 "What's so funny?" Sakura questioned.
|
|
rlm@2
|
57 Through his laughter Syaoran managed to tell Sakura that he found someone who wanted to date Tomoyo and that
|
|
rlm@2
|
58 they were downstairs talking now. Sakura's eyes lit up at the possibility of her best friend finding a new love. One
|
|
rlm@2
|
59 that could give her what Sakura couldn't.
|
|
rlm@2
|
60 "Are you serious? Who?" Sakura began to pound her boyfriend with questions.
|
|
rlm@2
|
61 "Heh, well lets just say it's someone you know. She.."
|
|
rlm@2
|
62 "She?" Sakura intterupted him.
|
|
rlm@2
|
63 "Yes, she. She's someone you know. She's not shy at all. She's pretty smart and always goes after what she wants. I
|
|
rlm@2
|
64 don't know how or why, but now she claims to have fallen for Tomoyo." Syaoran finished glad that Tomoyo might
|
|
rlm@2
|
65 finally have a reason to stop pining away for his girlfriend.
|
|
rlm@2
|
66 _____________
|
|
rlm@2
|
67 "You know I'm not shy like my cousin, and I'm not blind like Sakura." Meiling said moving towards Tomoyo. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
68 wasn't sure of what she was doing exactly but she had a plan. "I know your in love with her. Heck, I'm still in love
|
|
rlm@2
|
69 with him. But both of us know we have to move on. Please, love me instead of her. Give me a chance. I really like
|
|
rlm@2
|
70 you Tomoyo," Meiling said as she stopped in front of Tomoyo.
|
|
rlm@2
|
71 Tomoyo stood in shock not believing what her friend was saying. "You like me?" Tomoyo asked not knowing what
|
|
rlm@2
|
72 else to say. She loved Sakura, and only Sakura.
|
|
rlm@2
|
73 "Hai, suki desu." Meiling said as she sat down on the couch.
|
|
rlm@2
|
74 "I.. I don't know what to tell you. I love Sakura still. I've never thought of you like that. You are beautiful but why
|
|
rlm@2
|
75 would you want to be with me when I'm in love with her? And your in love with him?" Tomoyo was down right
|
|
rlm@2
|
76 confused. She couldn't believe this was happening.
|
|
rlm@2
|
77 "I just want a chance. I know if you gave me a chance, we could learn to love each other." Meiling said seriously. Of
|
|
rlm@2
|
78 course she wasn't just going to stop being in love with Syaoran, but if all worked out right, everone would be happy
|
|
rlm@2
|
79 in the end.
|
|
rlm@2
|
80 Tomoyo on the other hand remembered what Sakura told her the night before. That Sakura said she should really get
|
|
rlm@2
|
81 over her. 'Whatever makes Sakura happy makes me happy,' Tomoyo thought. "I'll do it," she said to Meiling. "You
|
|
rlm@2
|
82 know I'm not in love with you. And I know your not in love with me. But it would be good for us to get over them.
|
|
rlm@2
|
83 And it would be nice if I did end up falling for you."
|
|
rlm@2
|
84 "And it would be great to have you love me, because I know I'll fall for you easily." Meiling said moving closer to
|
|
rlm@2
|
85 Tomoyo.
|
|
rlm@2
|
86 "There is just one condition," Tomoyo told her.
|
|
rlm@2
|
87 "What's that?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
88 "Your have to promise me you won't hurt me like your cousin hurts Sakura."
|
|
rlm@2
|
89 "I'll never hurt you," Meiling said moving her face just so it was inches from Tomoyo's. "I do like you a lot. I know
|
|
rlm@2
|
90 I've been kind of cold to you and Sakura, but I really do care about the two of you. Especially you. Your so amazing.
|
|
rlm@2
|
91 I just never realized it before."
|
|
rlm@2
|
92 Tomoyo blushed at the compliment. 'This may not be too bad after all,' she thought. Noticing that no one was
|
|
rlm@2
|
93 around, and just how close they were to each other Tomoyo leaned forward slightly so that their lips just barely
|
|
rlm@2
|
94 brushed against the others. Meiling didn't pull away and Tomoyo deepened the kiss.
|
|
rlm@2
|
95 'Eww, she kissed me," Meiling thought. 'I didn't think I'd actually have to kiss her.' Meiling already convinced her
|
|
rlm@2
|
96 cousin she was falling for Tomoyo, and now she finally convinced Tomoyo. She knew if things didn't work out as
|
|
rlm@2
|
97 she had planned she'd be in big trouble, but she had to risk it.
|
|
rlm@2
|
98 "I've never actually dated anyone before."
|
|
rlm@2
|
99 "Thank you for giving this a chance Tomoyo. I know you probably think I'm immature and selfish, but there's a lot
|
|
rlm@2
|
100 you don't know about me."
|
|
rlm@2
|
101 "I'm willing to learn about it all. I'm glad we're doing this too."
|
|
rlm@2
|
102 "So what do you want to do on our first day as a couple?" Meiling asked wrapping her arm around Tomoyo.
|
|
rlm@2
|
103 Tomoyo leaned into her warm embrace. The first thing she thought was how it was so different from Sakura's arms.
|
|
rlm@2
|
104 Then she realized she couldn't go on comparing Meiling to Sakura or she'd never get over her.
|
|
rlm@2
|
105 "Let's go see what Sakura and Syaoran are doing in my room. I've think they've had plenty of time to make up with
|
|
rlm@2
|
106 each other by now."
|
|
rlm@2
|
107 "Make out you mean?" Meiling teased. She stood up bringing Tomoyo with her and took Tomoyo's hand into her
|
|
rlm@2
|
108 hand. "This is definatly going to take some time to get used to. But I think your well worth the effort." Meiling said
|
|
rlm@2
|
109 to Tomoyo just before they started heading up the stairs.
|
|
rlm@2
|
110 _______________
|
|
rlm@2
|
111 When Tomoyo and Meiling entered the room where Syaoran and Sakura were everyone's mouth dropped. Sakura
|
|
rlm@2
|
112 and Syaoran's because Meiling was clinging to Tomoyo's arm protectivly, and Meiling and Tomoyo's because of
|
|
rlm@2
|
113 seeing Sakura and Syaoran kissing so passionatly.
|
|
rlm@2
|
114 Sakura and Syaoran immediatly broke apart blushing deeply. "So you actually told her?" Syaoran asked his cousin.
|
|
rlm@2
|
115 "Hai, I'm just glad everything worked out well." Meiling said as she looked lovingly at Tomoyo. 'I don't know how
|
|
rlm@2
|
116 long I can keep this up,' she thought.
|
|
rlm@2
|
117 "Ne Meiling, can I talk to you for a minute in the hall?" Sakura asked as she stepped off of Tomoyo's bed. The two
|
|
rlm@2
|
118 girls stepped outside of the room and Sakura shut the door behing them. "Alright, I know you. Your straight. What
|
|
rlm@2
|
119 are you doing dating my best friend?" Sakura wasted no time. She knew this couldn't be happening.
|
|
rlm@2
|
120 "Why shouldn't I?" Meiling knew this would be the perfect oppertunity to put her plan in motion. She was going to
|
|
rlm@2
|
121 get Sakura and Tomoyo together if it killed her. Then the fact that Syaoran would be single afterwards was a
|
|
rlm@2
|
122 definate perk of the whole idea.
|
|
rlm@2
|
123 "Do you even care about her?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
124 "Why do you care?" Meiling said agitating Sakura. She didn't mean to sound like a bitch but it was the only way this
|
|
rlm@2
|
125 would work.
|
|
rlm@2
|
126 "Answer me, onegai. Do you really care about her? I just don't want her to get hurt."
|
|
rlm@2
|
127 "I won't hurt her. I'm just lucky you never realized how much you love her." Meiling stopped there not wanting to
|
|
rlm@2
|
128 push the subject. She turned and walked back into Tomoyo's room. After a few minutes Sakura finally recovered out
|
|
rlm@2
|
129 in the hall and came back into the room as well. 'What did she mean by that?' was her last calm thought as she saw
|
|
rlm@2
|
130 Meiling look at her then kiss her friend.
|
|
rlm@2
|
131 'She's kissing Tomoyo. Why does this bother me? Is it because I've never seen two girls kiss? No, that bitch is
|
|
rlm@2
|
132 kissing my best friend. I want to scream at her. To tell her to leave MY Tomoyo alone. Matte, what am I thinking?
|
|
rlm@2
|
133 She's not mine. I just don't want to lose her. I need her to much. What's going on? Hoe.' Sakura had no idea what
|
|
rlm@2
|
134 was going on in her mind. She had Syaoran to love. She was in love with him, wasn't she?
|
|
rlm@2
|
135 "Gomen ne minna. I have to go and uh.. go home and do some school work. I'll talk to you later." Sakura said
|
|
rlm@2
|
136 suddenly walking out of Tomoyo's room. When she was out of eyesight she ran out of the house to make sure she
|
|
rlm@2
|
137 was alone. Tomoyo tried running after her friend but Meiling took hold of her hand and stopped her.
|
|
rlm@2
|
138 "Daijoubu Tomoyo. She's fine," Meiling hoped if Sakura had time alone she would think of what just happened and
|
|
rlm@2
|
139 hopefully come to terms with her real feelings for Tomoyo. 'Onegai kami-sama. Let this work out.' Meiling said
|
|
rlm@2
|
140 under her breath. "Come on, let's go out somewhere."
|
|
rlm@2
|
141 "Okay," Tomoyo agreed trying to get her mind off of Sakura. She didn't know what, but something was definatly
|
|
rlm@2
|
142 wrong with Sakura.
|
|
rlm@2
|
143 _____________
|
|
rlm@2
|
144 Once Sakura was alone she just kept walking around trying to figure some things out. She had no reason to be
|
|
rlm@2
|
145 against Meiling dating Tomoyo but it bothered her deeply. She knew if she asked Tomoyo to not see Meiling she
|
|
rlm@2
|
146 wouldn't see her anymore. Then Sakura knew she would feel bad. Almost as if she was using Tomoyo.
|
|
rlm@2
|
147 She never realized how much she needed Tomoyo. Tomoyo was always there whenever she needed her. Now what
|
|
rlm@2
|
148 if Tomoyo wasn't around anymore? What if Tomoyo didn't need her anymore?
|
|
rlm@2
|
149 "I'm being selfish. I just want Tomoyo to love me even though I don't love her. But why?" Sakura said to no one.
|
|
rlm@2
|
150 "Maybe I should just talk to her. But then what if I blew this for her? She finally found someone to make her happy
|
|
rlm@2
|
151 when I can't."
|
|
rlm@2
|
152 "Sakura-chan?" A familiar voice scared her out of her thoughts. "Daijoubu desu ka?" the voice asked when Sakura
|
|
rlm@2
|
153 didn't answer him.
|
|
rlm@2
|
154 "Yukito-san," Sakura turned around to face her friend. "Gomen ne, you scared me."
|
|
rlm@2
|
155 "Why are you talking to yourself Sakura? And why are you crying?" Yukito asked her, the concern evident in his
|
|
rlm@2
|
156 voice.
|
|
rlm@2
|
157 "I'm crying?" Sakura asked as she lifted her hand to her face and felt the wet tears on her cheeks. "I...I didn't know I
|
|
rlm@2
|
158 was. I don't know what's going on at all anymore."
|
|
rlm@2
|
159 "Something you want to talk about?" Yukito asked her as he sat down on a nearby bench.
|
|
rlm@2
|
160 Sakura sat down next to him and began to tell him what happened earlier. "..And now I don't know what to do." she
|
|
rlm@2
|
161 finished her story. Yukito was definatly shocked. He knew Meiling was right, she was in love with Tomoyo and just
|
|
rlm@2
|
162 hasn't realized it yet.
|
|
rlm@2
|
163 "So you realize how much you need her to be around for you?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
164 "She's the only one I can turn to. She always makes me smile no matter how bad things are. But if she's with Meiling
|
|
rlm@2
|
165 all the time who will I turn to?" Sakura asked.
|
|
rlm@2
|
166 "I understand where your coming from," Yukito said as he remembered a situation similar to this he was once in. A
|
|
rlm@2
|
167 situation that made him realize his true feelings for this girls older brother. "Why do you feel selfish for needing
|
|
rlm@2
|
168 her?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
169 "Because if I tell her how much I do, she'll never stop loving me. She should move on since I love Syaoran but in a
|
|
rlm@2
|
170 way I don't want her to I just can't seem to make her happy.. Hoe, I'm so confused."
|
|
rlm@2
|
171 "You are confused, but not about what you think. You just have one simple thing backwards. It'll be very easy for
|
|
rlm@2
|
172 you to make her happy once you figure that out." Yukito said as he stood up. "Well I gotta go meet your brother so
|
|
rlm@2
|
173 I'll see you later Sakura-chan."
|
|
rlm@2
|
174 "Backwards?" Sakura said to him as he started to walk away.
|
|
rlm@2
|
175 Yukito just shook his head and smiled. Over his shoulder he just told her it was something she had to figure out on
|
|
rlm@2
|
176 her own. 'Backwards?' she thought to herself. 'What's backwards? He was of no help at all.'
|
|
rlm@2
|
177 Sakura sat on the bench still and let her mind drift back to the previous night. Her fight with Syaoran and how she
|
|
rlm@2
|
178 came straight to Tomoyo. How Tomoyo let her cry in her arms and held her all night so she'd feel better. Who was
|
|
rlm@2
|
179 going to make her feel better if Tomoyo was always with Meiling. Who was going to make her happy?
|
|
rlm@2
|
180 Now she thought of her talk with Meiling and how Meiling told her she was lucky she didn't realize her true feelings
|
|
rlm@2
|
181 for her friend. How much it hurt to see someone kissing Tomoyo. As if someone were taking the air out of the room
|
|
rlm@2
|
182 so she couldn't breathe. 'My Tomoyo' she thought to herself.
|
|
rlm@2
|
183 'Now if I only knew what Meiling and Yukito are thinking. My true feelings for Tomoyo. And having something
|
|
rlm@2
|
184 backwards?' Sakura didn't bother to stop thinking about the whole situation as she walked home. Finally as she
|
|
rlm@2
|
185 reached her house she figured out what the two of them meant. 'Do they mean I have my true feelings backwards?
|
|
rlm@2
|
186 But how are they backwards?'
|
|
rlm@2
|
187 Sakura took a break from her thoughts as she greeted her father and walked up to her room. As soon as she layed
|
|
rlm@2
|
188 down in her bed she let all her thoughts come back to her. 'Now how are my feelings backwards? I love Tomoyo and
|
|
rlm@2
|
189 I'm in love with Syaoran. Tomoyo's my best friend and she's always been there for me. I've come to depend on her
|
|
rlm@2
|
190 so much. If I didn't have her who would I go to when Syaoran gets mad at me? He does that a lot lately.' Sakura
|
|
rlm@2
|
191 frowned as she looked at her nightstand that had a picture of her and her boyfriend.
|
|
rlm@2
|
192 'He gets mad at me and whenever I'm upset I go to her. She's always there for me because she loves me. More than
|
|
rlm@2
|
193 anyone or anything else she loves me. And all this time I've never realized how amazing she is.'
|
|
rlm@2
|
194 ___________
|
|
rlm@2

195 "I can't do this Meiling. Gomen." Tomoyo said as she stood next to her new girlfriend. "I can't love anyone but
|
|
rlm@2
|
196 Sakura or pretend to. I don't even want to try to love anyone else. I like being your friend but I can't be more with
|
|
rlm@2
|
197 you."
|
|
rlm@2
|
198 'Perfect,' Meiling thought trying not to smile. "Oh," is all she said as she bowed her head so Tomoyo couldn't see her
|
|
rlm@2
|
199 face. "I'm sorry I asked you then."
|
|
rlm@2
|
200 "Daijoubu Meiling. Besides, your a really good kisser." Tomoyo told her friend getting a laugh from her. "I hate to
|
|
rlm@2
|
201 do this but I gotta go see Sakura."
|
|
rlm@2
|
202 Tell her I say hi will ya?" Meiling gave Tomoyo a farewell hug and Tomoyo took off towards Sakura's house. So far
|
|
rlm@2
|
203 Meiling thought things were going perfect. She had her chance to make her impression on Sakura and no one got
|
|
rlm@2
|
204 hurt in the process. Tomoyo was still happy and now it was in Sakura's hands. All she had to do was figure out who
|
|
rlm@2
|
205 she loved.
|
|
rlm@2
|
206 As Tomoyo reached Sakura's house she noticed Syaoran was arriving there at the same time. "What are you doing
|
|
rlm@2
|
207 here?" he asked her as they stopped in front of the house.
|
|
rlm@2
|
208 "I was coming to make sure Sakura was okay." Tomoyo told him as she walked up to the door and went to knock on
|
|
rlm@2
|
209 it.
|
|
rlm@2
|
210 "Well I'm here so you don't have to worry. She doesn't need you so you might as well go home."
|
|
rlm@2
|
211 "But.."
|
|
rlm@2
|
212 "It's fine. Just go home, I'll take care of her." Syaoran told her. Tomoyo was deeply hurt but didn't say anything. She
|
|
rlm@2
|
213 turned around and started walking towards her home. Syaoran knew he was being mean but he couldn't risk losing
|
|
rlm@2
|
214 his girlfriend to her. He knew, just like everyone else, just how much Sakura loved Tomoyo. In fact thats why he got
|
|
rlm@2
|
215 so upset and fought with Sakura. Because his girlfriend would rather be with Tomoyo than him. He didn't mean to
|
|
rlm@2
|
216 show Sakura it upset him but sometimes she could tell he was mad about something. And she always ran to
|
|
rlm@2
|
217 Tomoyo.
|
|
rlm@2
|
218 Once Sakura opened the door she didn't know if she should be relieved to see her boyfriend or not. Syaoran could
|
|
rlm@2
|
219 tell she had been crying and immediatly took her in his arms. "Don't worry, I'm here for you Sakura."
|
|
rlm@2
|
220 Sakura wrapped her arms around him and let him hold onto her. It felt so good to be in his arms. She always felt
|
|
rlm@2
|
221 protected when he held her. It was different from when Tomoyo did. Tomoyo's arms were loving, and soft. When
|
|
rlm@2
|
222 Tomoyo held her all her troubles seemed to go away. Sakura closed her eyes and pictured Tomoyo holding her and
|
|
rlm@2
|
223 just thinking of it she felt better. She had almost forgotten her boyfriend was even there.
|
|
rlm@2
|
224 "You feel better now?" Syaoran asked as he felt Sakura relax in his arms after a few moments.
|
|
rlm@2
|
225 "Yes, I do thank you." she said as she came back to reality.
|
|
rlm@2
|
226 "I saw Tomoyo on the way here too," Syaoran told her. "She was worried about you as well but I told her that you
|
|
rlm@2
|
227 wouldn't need her since I'm here so she went home." He felt Sakura tense in his arms and knew he just made a fatal
|
|
rlm@2
|
228 mistake.
|
|
rlm@2
|
229 "You told her I don't need her?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
230 "Un." was all that would come out of his mouth.
|
|
rlm@2
|
231 "I always need her. I always will. I can't live without her. I have to go see her. I'm sorry Syaoran."
|
|
rlm@2
|
232 He bowed his head as she pulled away from him. He lost, he knew there was no hope of holding on to her any
|
|
rlm@2
|
233 longer. "Tell her how much you love her for me will you?" Sakura hugged him tightly and smiled.
|
|
rlm@2
|
234 "I'm really sorry. I just figured it all out. What everyone's been trying to tell me. I'm in love with her. I have to go."
|
|
rlm@2
|
235 Sakura said as she ran out her front door after her friend leaving Syaoran standing in her living room.
|
|
rlm@2
|
236 After what seemed like hours of endless running she got to Tomoyo's house and as soon as she was let in she ran
|
|
rlm@2
|
237 stright to Tomoyo's room. She didn't bother to knock as she ran into Tomoyo's room and stopped dead in her tracks
|
|
rlm@2
|
238 when she saw Tomoyo sitting on the floor crying.
|
|
rlm@2
|
239 Slowly she walked over to her friend who didn't seem to notice her until Sakura sat down beside her. "I never meant
|
|
rlm@2
|
240 to hurt you Tomoyo. I'll always need you, and now I need you more than ever."
|
|
rlm@2
|
241 Tomoyo stopped herself from crying. She always found it weird how Sakura just popped into her room without her
|
|
rlm@2
|
242 noticing. "I don't understand what your talking about Sakura."
|
|
rlm@2
|
243 "I'm talking about what's been going on today. How in the course of one day my entire life has completly changed. I
|
|
rlm@2
|
244 realized when I saw you with Meiling how much I need you. I thought I was just jealous because you wouldn't be
|
|
rlm@2
|
245 around as much if you were with her. Then I talked to Yukito and after a lot of thought and I realized I was scared."
|
|
rlm@2
|
246 "Why were you scared?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
247 "Well Meiling likes you and your her girlfriend now and I thought I was going to lose you, and not have the chance
|
|
rlm@2
|
248 to love you."
|
|
rlm@2
|
249 "I told Meiling a while ago that this wouldn't work, because I could never love anyone but you."
|
|
rlm@2
|
250 "And I realized just how in love with you I am thanks to her and Yukito." Sakura said as she placed a hand on top of
|
|
rlm@2
|
251 Tomoyo's. "I love you Tomoyo, with all my heart. I realized that you love me more than anyone ever has before, and
|
|
rlm@2
|
252 I wasn't really in love with Syaoran. I was meant to be with you, I just hope it's not to late."
|
|
rlm@2
|
253 Tomoyo's eyes filled with tears as she realized what Sakura was saying to her. Her dream had finally come true,
|
|
rlm@2
|
254 Sakura was in love with her. "I love you Sakura."
|
|
rlm@2
|
255 "I love you Tomoyo," Sakura leaned forward and kissed Tomoyo softly. "I'll never hurt you again. I promise you
|
|
rlm@2
|
256 that." Sakura kissed Tomoyo again as she took Tomoyo into her arms and the two stayed in that position for the rest
|
|
rlm@2
|
257 of the night content knowing they finally found their true love.
|
|
rlm@2
|
258 ___________
|
|
rlm@2
|
259 When Syaoran told Meiling about Sakura finally realizing her true feelings for Tomoyo and how she ran off Meiling
|
|
rlm@2
|
260 felt proud. She wanted to tell her cousin about her plan but knew he would never forgive her if she did. "It wasn't so
|
|
rlm@2
|
261 bad you know."
|
|
rlm@2
|
262 "Huh?" Syaoran asked looking at his cousin.
|
|
rlm@2
|
263 "Dating Tomoyo wasn't to bad. I'm kinda upset it didn't work out."
|
|
rlm@2
|
264 "You always told me they would end up together and not to go out with Sakura."
|
|
rlm@2
|
265 "I knew they loved each other yes, but I didn't know they'd actually get together. I just told you not to date her
|
|
rlm@2
|
266 because I wanted you to date me."
|
|
rlm@2
|
267 "So what do I do now that she left me? I knew it would happen sooner or later so I'm not too upset, but it really
|
|
rlm@2
|
268 sucks."
|
|
rlm@2
|
269 "You can always date me." Meiling added clinging to his arm.
|
|
rlm@2
|
270 "Aren't we a little old for that now? It was fine when we were kids but I think we're a little to old for that."
|
|
rlm@2
|
271 "Who says? We were supposed to get married when we were little. Then you came here from Hong Kong and threw
|
|
rlm@2
|
272 it all off. So if we can get married why can't we date?"
|
|
rlm@2
|
273 "Yare yare. Whatever you want Meiling." Syaoran said falling onto the couch. He was much to tired and confused to
|
|
rlm@2
|
274 care. Meiling sat down next to him and grabbed his arm again. Meiling was definatly proud of herself for what she
|
|
rlm@2
|
275 did. It was one hell of a day for all four of them and she despratly wanted to tell someone of her great plan and how
|
|
rlm@2
|
276 well it worked out. "Some things are best left unsaid." Meiling thought aloud.
|
|
rlm@2
|
277 "Nani?" Syaoran looked at her confused.
|
|
rlm@2
|
278 "Nan demo nai!"Meiling said with a nervous laugh. She hadn't meant to say that out loud. "Well I'm going to bed.
|
|
rlm@2
|
279 See you tommorow Syaoran." Meiling stood up and kissed her cousin on the forhead and took off.
|
|
rlm@2
|
280 "Some things never change no matter how much you want them to I guess." Syaoran thought before going to his
|
|
rlm@2
|
281 own bed for the night.
|
|
rlm@2
|
282 -end
