rlm@0

17 A young brunette, maybe fourteen or so, walked slowly home from school,
|
|
rlm@0
|
18 looking up at the gray sky as she walked. Soon she would reach the park. A
|
|
rlm@0
|
19 small smile formed on her lips, and she stopped, waiting, listening.
|
|
rlm@0
|
20 Soon enough she heard soft, quick footsteps behind her, and looked at the
|
|
rlm@0
|
21 girl who stood next to her, breathing in short, quick, gasps.
|
|
rlm@0
|
22 "Tomoyo-chan.wasn't your piano lesson going to run late today?"
|
|
rlm@0
|
23 The second, slightly shorter girl stood up straighter, lavender hair
|
|
rlm@0
|
24 rippling in small waves as she did so. She smiled warmly, the calm, gentle
|
|
rlm@0
|
25 smile Sakura loved best. "Hai. But my sensei was sick. I hope she gets well
|
|
rlm@0
|
26 soon." Tomoyo's eyes looked worried, but they brightened. "But now we can
|
|
rlm@0
|
27 walk home together, Sakura-chan. Perhaps we could have a sleepover at your
|
|
rlm@0
|
28 house. It's Friday, after all."
|
|
rlm@0
|
29 Sakura beamed at her friend, barely noticing the tiny raindrops beginning
|
|
rlm@0
|
30 to sprinkle down on them. "Of course. Father won't mind; he says you're like
|
|
rlm@0
|
31 family, the way you're over at our house so often. Onii-chan says you are
|
|
rlm@0
|
32 family."
|
|
rlm@0
|
33 Tomoyo slipped her slender hand into Sakura's. "It honors me greatly that
|
|
rlm@0
|
34 Kinomoto-san would think of me as such."
|
|
rlm@0
|
35 Sakura giggled as they began to walk, perfectly in step. "Tomoyo-chan, you'
|
|
rlm@0
|
36 re so polite!"
|
|
rlm@0
|
37 Tomoyo smiled. "And you have a quality better then that Sakura-chan; you're
|
|
rlm@0
|
38 special to many people, and you're the sunshine in my darkness."
|
|
rlm@0
|
39 Sakura looked thoughtful for a few moments, then blushed. "Tomoyo-chan.oh,
|
|
rlm@0
|
40 it's raining! I should have brought an umbrella like Father told me to!"
|
|
rlm@0
|
41 Tomoyo looked up. "I love the rain.each little raindrop is like a tiny
|
|
rlm@0
|
42 world, a tiny soul. Each so different and so the same.all born from the same
|
|
rlm@0
|
43 Mother."
|
|
rlm@0
|
44 Sakura smiled softly and squeezed her best friend's hand softly. "You see
|
|
rlm@0
|
45 everything so much differently from me, Tomoyo-chan. I could happily spend
|
|
rlm@0
|
46 years with you, and only learn a tiny bit of everything you see."
|
|
rlm@0
|
47 Tomoyo looked over at Sakura, and smiled sweetly. "Sakura-chan, it would
|
|
rlm@0
|
48 make me very happy to do so; Sakura-chan's happiness is my happiness."
|
|
rlm@0
|
49 Sakura sighed. "Tomoyo-chan.I love rainy days too."
|
|
rlm@0
|
50 "Why?" Tomoyo looked over at her friend as they came to a stop, at a
|
|
rlm@0
|
51 railing on the small bridge that passed over the lake by the King Penguin.
|
|
rlm@0
|
52 Sakura gently took her hand from Tomoyo's, and leaned against the railing,
|
|
rlm@0
|
53 emerald eyes clouding over.
|
|
rlm@0
|
54 "Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked softly.
|
|
rlm@0
|
55 Sakura didn't reply, and simply looked out over the lake, then closed her
|
|
rlm@0
|
56 eyes, pressing deep into her memory, her soul this perfect moment. The
|
|
rlm@0
|
57 breeze was soft, blowing against her skin, warmly. And small raindrops fell
|
|
rlm@0
|
58 down from the sky.Sakura knew she was soaked to the bone, but didn't care
|
|
rlm@0
|
59 much. Tomoyo stood silently beside her, waiting ever patiently. Always
|
|
rlm@0
|
60 patient. Waiting.
|
|
rlm@0
|
61 Tomoyo turned and leaned on the railing, shivering as the cold metal
|
|
rlm@0
|
62 touched her skin. The cold and wet didn't bother her much; she was here with
|
|
rlm@0
|
63 her beloved special person. She would be lost in perfect bliss forever if
|
|
rlm@0
|
64 only this moment could stretch into eternity; but for her, it already did.
|
|
rlm@0
|
65 Looking over at Sakura, she smiled her soft smile. Her loved ones flashed
|
|
rlm@0
|
66 one by one through her mind, but she knew that her love for Sakura wasn't
|
|
rlm@0
|
67 rivaled by any of them. Oh, she had the strongest love possible for her
|
|
rlm@0
|
68 mother, her friends; but her love for Sakura left them all far behind. It
|
|
rlm@0
|
69 grew even now, as it always grew, second by second, as time went on. She
|
|
rlm@0
|
70 could always go on, powered by that love. Even if she had to let Sakura go
|
|
rlm@0
|
71 someday, her love would keep her going on. As long as she had these
|
|
rlm@0
|
72 memories.
|
|
rlm@0
|
73 Sakura sighed softly, not stirring Tomoyo out of her dream-like state, but
|
|
rlm@0
|
74 simply going farther into her own. She knew most people took her for the
|
|
rlm@0
|
75 oblivious girl she showed them, and for the most part she was. But
|
|
rlm@0
|
76 sometimes, sometimes she saw in and through what everyone wanted her to see,
|
|
rlm@0
|
77 through every illusion, straight to the soul of what was hiding. Tomoyo was
|
|
rlm@0
|
78 hard to figure out, but there had been times when understanding gripped her
|
|
rlm@0
|
79 for a few precious seconds, and then fled. Tomoyo had once recited a poem to
|
|
rlm@0
|
80 her...well; Tomoyo recited many poems to her. But one line had caught her
|
|
rlm@0
|
81 attention yesterday. 'To see a world in a grain of sand'. Sakura smiled
|
|
rlm@0
|
82 gently. As a child she had been able to do just that. But now, she could see
|
|
rlm@0
|
83 things deeper, almost like she was seeing through a fraction of what Tomoyo'
|
|
rlm@0
|
84 s view was. Tomoyo was so secretive sometimes.Sakura worried about her.
|
|
rlm@0
|
85 Tomoyo breathed in the air around her, slipping further into her
|
|
rlm@0
|
86 seeming-trance. There were so many things she could say right now. But
|
|
rlm@0
|
87 nothing would accurately describe the moment, the feelings, emotions,
|
|
rlm@0
|
88 senses. Nothing would describe it. But she could hold a wisp of what this
|
|
rlm@0
|
89 moment had been within her, forever. The moment itself could never be truly
|
|
rlm@0
|
90 there again, without it happening. Oh, she could live on. But this full
|
|
rlm@0
|
91 blast of life within the moment wouldn't happen after Sakura left. Tomoyo
|
|
rlm@0
|
92 hoped the time when such a thing would happen was far into the future.
|
|
rlm@0
|
93 Syaoran had turned to her, before he left to China, after he had promised
|
|
rlm@0
|
94 to come back for her. A promise Sakura hadn't asked for, and wasn't sure he
|
|
rlm@0
|
95 would keep. He had asked her to go with him. And she had refused. Perhaps,
|
|
rlm@0
|
96 perhaps she should have gone. But then she would never have been here, in
|
|
rlm@0
|
97 this small glimpse of heaven. If Syaoran were in Tomoyo's place right now,
|
|
rlm@0
|
98 what would be different? She should be happier, right? That was to some
|
|
rlm@0
|
99 extent something Naoko had asked her. Strangely enough, she hadn't thought
|
|
rlm@0
|
100 much about it. She couldn't leave her family, her friends. She couldn't
|
|
rlm@0
|
101 leave. They would have been devastated, especially Tomoyo. Sakura winced at
|
|
rlm@0
|
102 the thought. Her best friend had always told her that Sakura's happiness was
|
|
rlm@0
|
103 her own happiness, but Sakura knew that Tomoyo seemed to need her. Tomoyo
|
|
rlm@0
|
104 always seemed so fragile in Sakura's eyes, even though Sakura knew Tomoyo
|
|
rlm@0
|
105 was stronger then her in some ways. But she still couldn't bring herself to
|
|
rlm@0
|
106 do it. To go away from the people she loved. It would be too much. Even
|
|
rlm@0
|
107 though she was sure Tomoyo would have insisted on her going if the pale
|
|
rlm@0
|
108 heiress had known. Tomoyo thought she was happy with Syaoran. So Tomoyo
|
|
rlm@0
|
109 naturally tried to do what she thought would make Sakura happy, tried to
|
|
rlm@0
|
110 make it all come to life. Sakura shook her head, smiling slightly at the
|
|
rlm@0
|
111 thought.
|
|
rlm@0
|
112 Tomoyo opened her eyes, realizing only now they were closed. She shifted
|
|
rlm@0
|
113 and looked over at Sakura in concern. Usually the energetic Cardmistress
|
|
rlm@0
|
114 couldn't stay still.
|
|
rlm@0
|
115 Sakura smiled, and opened her eyes as she turned to Tomoyo. She giggled as
|
|
rlm@0
|
116 she saw her friend's soaking lavender hair messy for once. Still, Tomoyo's
|
|
rlm@0
|
117 hair was always beautiful, even like this.
|
|
rlm@0
|
118 Tomoyo blinked, not quite understanding. Then her eyes noticed Sakura was
|
|
rlm@0
|
119 soaked, and quite messy, and knew she must look quite the same. Embarrassed,
|
|
rlm@0
|
120 she giggled softly, and the two girls' giggles became laughter.
|
|
rlm@0
|
121 Slowly, their laughter drifted off, and the rain became heavier, but
|
|
rlm@0
|
122 neither noticed it. "Tomoyo-chan.what were you thinking about?"
|
|
rlm@0
|
123 Tomoyo smiled gently. "My special person."
|
|
rlm@0
|
124 "That's what you always say when I ask you that." Sakura commented.
|
|
rlm@0
|
125 "Because it's always true." Tomoyo smiled warmly.
|
|
rlm@0
|
126 Sakura smiled, looking at her friend.
|
|
rlm@0
|
127 "Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo felt Sakura's forehead. "Are you okay?"
|
|
rlm@0
|
128 "I'm fine." Sakura replied.
|
|
rlm@0
|
129 "If you say so." Tomoyo still looked worried.
|
|
rlm@0
|
130 Sakura's smile became dreamy, and she leaned slightly forward, touching her
|
|
rlm@0
|
131 own lips Tomoyo's petal soft ones. Pulling back the brunette blushed
|
|
rlm@0
|
132 slightly, but smiled all the same, then turned back to look over the lake in
|
|
rlm@0
|
133 embarrassment.
|
|
rlm@0
|
134 Tomoyo stood there for a few moments, trying to figure out what had just
|
|
rlm@0
|
135 happened, and at the same time burning the memory into her heart, making
|
|
rlm@0
|
136 sure the memory would never leave her. That was the most happiness she had
|
|
rlm@0
|
137 ever felt, her soul combining with Sakura's creating a light brighter then
|
|
rlm@0
|
138 that Sakura alone could shine on her life. A hand rose unconsciously to her
|
|
rlm@0
|
139 lips, and she waited in the silence, looking over at Sakura.
|
|
rlm@0
|
140 Sakura finally turned back to her friend, and giggled. "Gomen ne, Tomoyo. I
|
|
rlm@0
|
141 didn't mean to surprise you."
|
|
rlm@0
|
142 Tomoyo blinked, and replied. "It's okay Sakura-chan."
|
|
rlm@0
|
143 "You wanted to know the reason I love rainy days?" Sakura asked, smiling at
|
|
rlm@0
|
144 Tomoyo's bewilderment.
|
|
rlm@0
|
145 "Hai, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said, still slightly out of it.
|
|
rlm@0
|
146 "Because the stormy blue sky reminds me of your eyes." Sakura blushed. "And
|
|
rlm@0
|
147 it feels like my Tomoyo-chan is watching over me."
|
|
rlm@0
|
148 Tomoyo's mind kept going over the same words: 'my Tomoyo-chan'. "That
|
|
rlm@0
|
149 sounds like something I would say." She finally managed.
|
|
rlm@0
|
150 Sakura giggled nervously, putting one hand behind her head. "I know.
|
|
rlm@0
|
151 Because it is something you would say, Tomoyo. My love is the same as yours.
|
|
rlm@0
|
152 Gomen. It took me a little while to get used to it, or to say anything."
|
|
rlm@0
|
153 "What do you mean?" Tomoyo was confused and yet strangely understood it
|
|
rlm@0
|
154 all.
|
|
rlm@0
|
155 "I mean that I love you, Tomoyo. I sometimes understand the things you say.
|
|
rlm@0
|
156 Plus everyone hints at it if I ask the right questions. Sometimes I just don
|
|
rlm@0
|
157 't see things very clearly. Then, sometimes, I see it. Like in that poem you
|
|
rlm@0
|
158 recited the other day."
|
|
rlm@0
|
159 "What about Syaoran-kun?" Tomoyo asked.
|
|
rlm@0
|
160 Sakura looked thoughtful. "I think Kero-chan tried to explain it to me. I
|
|
rlm@0
|
161 knew I never loved him, really, after I thought about it, but I didn't know
|
|
rlm@0
|
162 how to explain it. He said it was the attraction to magic, like with
|
|
rlm@0
|
163 Yuki-san and Ms. Misuki. But I know that I love you, Tomoyo. I asked
|
|
rlm@0
|
164 Light-sama and Dark-sama about love, once. They're smart. I think they love
|
|
rlm@0
|
165 eachother, Tomoyo. Light-sama said something about being to halves apart and
|
|
rlm@0
|
166 together whole."
|
|
rlm@0
|
167 Tomoyo nodded slowly. "Sakura-chan."
|
|
rlm@0
|
168 Sakura looked a little worried. "Is it okay for me to love you? Or did I
|
|
rlm@0
|
169 get everything wrong?"
|
|
rlm@0
|
170 Tomoyo shook her head, silencing Sakura. "Would you be happy?"
|
|
rlm@0
|
171 "With you?" Sakura sighed in relief. "Hai. I already am, Tomoyo. I like
|
|
rlm@0
|
172 moments like these. I would be truly happy if I could spend the rest of my
|
|
rlm@0
|
173 life with you."
|
|
rlm@0
|
174 Tomoyo nodded, smiling. "My happiness is you happiness Sakura. Whatever
|
|
rlm@0
|
175 makes you happy. If it would make you happy to spend the rest of you life
|
|
rlm@0
|
176 with me I would be happier then I could say. Aishiteru."
|
|
rlm@0
|
177 Sakura smiled, almost bouncing, her usual energy back. "Really? That would
|
|
rlm@0
|
178 make me very happy, Tomoyo! Do you promise?"
|
|
rlm@0
|
179 Tomoyo smiled at the genki girl. Her genki girl. "Hai, Sakura. I promise."
|
|
rlm@0
|
180 Sakura smiled, and kissed Tomoyo again, in a feather-light, quick, kiss.
|
|
rlm@0
|
181 "Good! But we have to get home before my family gets worried. I'm already
|
|
rlm@0
|
182 behind schedule because I forgot my roller blades at school."
|
|
rlm@0
|
183 Tomoyo smiled dreamily. "Whatever you say, Sakura." Sakura slipped her hand
|
|
rlm@0
|
184 into Tomoyo's and Tomoyo was aware of them starting to walk.
|
|
rlm@0
|
185 "Are you going to be quiet the entire walk home?" Sakura asked after a few
|
|
rlm@0
|
186 moments, looking curiously over at the heiress. "Don't you have anything to
|
|
rlm@0
|
187 say? Usually you tell me about new costumes and stuff."
|
|
rlm@0
|
188 Tomoyo smiled warmly, her gentle smile reserved for those she loved, this
|
|
rlm@0
|
189 one for Sakura. "The only thing I have to say is that we should take more
|
|
rlm@0
|
190 walks in the rain. They're nice. Especially if you're going to stop at that
|
|
rlm@0
|
191 bridge each time and give me a kiss."
|
|
rlm@0
|
192 Sakura smiled, blushing a little. "We could make it a habit, if you want."
|
|
rlm@0
|
193 "That would make me very happy, Sakura."
|
|
rlm@0
|
194 "Then it'd make me happy too." Sakura squeezed her love's hand.
|
|
rlm@0
|
195 And so they walked, in the rain.
|
|
rlm@0
|
196
|
