rlm@0 7 Dear Diary..
rlm@0 8
rlm@0 9 It has been several months since I began living with her and Sonomi-
rlm@0 10 sama. That fateful night..the night I discovered I was her special
rlm@0 11 someone.. started a whole new chapter in my life. I was surprised by
rlm@0 12 my family's reaction to our proposal that I live with her. Father was
rlm@0 13 not upset ,but relieved that I would not be by myself
rlm@0 14 anymore..especially with his long hours and Onii-chan's part-time
rlm@0 15 jobs keeping them from home so much. Sonomi-sama was thrilled with
rlm@0 16 the idea. She was very excited that her beloved Nadesico's daughter
rlm@0 17 would be living in her large home. Likewise, all of the staff and
rlm@0 18 bodyguards have been so warm and kind to me. Tomoyo and I share the
rlm@0 19 same room and large bed. It seems like everyone has been supportive
rlm@0 20 with the move all the way around. Even my usually gruff Onii-chan is
rlm@0 21 pleased.. now that Syaoran is out of my heart. And of course, Tomoyo
rlm@0 22 and I still keep my sorceress affairs secret..even though all of the
rlm@0 23 Cards have been captured long ago.
rlm@0 24
rlm@0 25 Each day has been so wonderful and filled with great joy. We
rlm@0 26 sometimes study together after classes in Penguin Park or cheer for
rlm@0 27 each other as we participate in our different clubs. School days are
rlm@0 28 spent like before the move, except I hold hands with her more. If
rlm@0 29 there is nobody around though, playful mischievous Tomoyo encircles
rlm@0 30 my waist with her tiny arms and kisses me with her soft lips. Even
rlm@0 31 now, she still adores my looks of surprise and my blushing cheeks.
rlm@0 32
rlm@0 33 Tonight, I write in you after another session of love-making. In the
rlm@0 34 moon light, Tomoyo's bare shoulder peeks above the sheets. She sleeps
rlm@0 35 on her side facing mine, and the bed looks gigantic with only her in
rlm@0 36 it. Her hands are together..fingers clasped as if in prayer. From the
rlm@0 37 open window, a gentle breeze moves her long black hair. Her face
rlm@0 38 wears a smile now..a smile I can always see. It is no longer forced.
rlm@0 39 Her grief and sadness forever gone, she has thrown all of her masks
rlm@0 40 away. With each breath, a strand of her hair floats skyward. Her
rlm@0 41 mouth soundlessly utters my name. I know because she now wears that
rlm@0 42 special smile..the one that is just for me. Her fingers automatically
rlm@0 43 seek me..drawn to the warmth of my vacated portion of the mattress. A
rlm@0 44 troubled look crosses her face, and I quickly summon Mirror to kindly
rlm@0 45 take my place. Mirror copies my image and quickly gets into the bed.
rlm@0 46 Tomoyo's questing fingers find her, and her special smile once again
rlm@0 47 lights her face.
rlm@0 48
rlm@0 49 With relief, I return to my thoughts and writing..while Mirror holds
rlm@0 50 Tomoyo close..stroking her hair..and holding her close. Snuggling,
rlm@0 51 Tomoyo sleeps peacefully again. I should hurry this entry, though.
rlm@0 52 Mirror can not fool her heart for long. I may be the sorceress, but
rlm@0 53 Tomoyo has an even greater power. Tonight, I see it..a powerful
rlm@0 54 aura..an aura that should consume her porcelain doll-like body. She
rlm@0 55 loves me so completely and so intensely that I worry she will break
rlm@0 56 one day. I feel a knot of fear in my belly.. a fear of the unknown
rlm@0 57 future. What would I do if I woke up one morning..only to kiss cold
rlm@0 58 lips..and discover her lifeless?
rlm@0 59
rlm@0 60 During nights of worry, I have been trying to create a magic of my
rlm@0 61 own. Tomoyo has always been frail. So, I want to create a Card of
rlm@0 62 Health and Healing..one I can use for her when she is ill. But so
rlm@0 63 far, I have had no success. I have always relied on her, but I
rlm@0 64 understand now that it would be unbearable for me to lose her. I
rlm@0 65 crave her soft lips and her lavender eyes..the warmth of her
rlm@0 66 body..and the bath her love prepares for me..that always cleanses my
rlm@0 67 heart..
rlm@0 68
rlm@0 69 During my first days with her, I was always apologizing. I felt
rlm@0 70 guilty for being so slow to perceive her love for me..and mine for
rlm@0 71 her..for all of those lonely tear-filled nights she lived through. I
rlm@0 72 cried from all of the scars I cut into her heart. But, with her usual
rlm@0 73 tenderness, she would only kiss me and bid me to worry about that no
rlm@0 74 more. All of those nights lived only in her past, and she looks now
rlm@0 75 only to our future. Even with the Return Card, I could never undo
rlm@0 76 those wounds. The paradox of Time prevents me. So, reluctantly, I
rlm@0 77 complied with her wishes.
rlm@0 78
rlm@0 79 With my own voice, Mirror whispers across the room to me. Tomoyo
rlm@0 80 frowns and stirs restlessly. With my quiet thanks, Mirror and I
rlm@0 81 switch places. I kiss Tomoyo's upturned cheek and once more see her
rlm@0 82 special smile. Her mystical aura of love envelops us both in its
rlm@0 83 protective blanket..covering our unclothed bodies..soothing us into a
rlm@0 84 deep and peaceful sleep...burning all my concerns away..
