     1.4 +	There was no feeling of joy in the dark haired girl's senses afterwards.
     1.5 +Tomoyo spent the entire evening inside her room and refused human contact
     1.6 +from anyone else in the house.  She laid down on top of her bed with her
     1.7 +head embedded in her pillow.  She began to weep as her sobs were muffled by
     1.8 +the thick cushion.  There was no way for her to understand why Sakura
     1.9 +rejected her without any clear motive.  Tomoyo couldn't stop thinking about
    1.10 +why things went wrong for her.  She lifted her head up and glanced across
    1.11 +the room at the camcorder.  She had recorded many images with it and had
    1.12 +captured many memories, but the subject of a vast majority of those
    1.13 +memories was Sakura.  Whether it was getting footage of the capture of a
    1.14 +Clow Card, or taking shots while walking through the park, Tomoyo would
    1.15 +always playback anything that had her best friend in it.  The thought of
    1.16 +Sakura use to shine a beacon of joy within Tomoyo's heart, but tonight,
    1.17 +sadness was the only feeling that rested in her heart.  Tomoyo didn't think
    1.18 +she would ever watch any of her videos again, or even use the camcorder
    1.19 +again.  The dark haired girl placed her head on her pillow and cried as
    1.20 +heartache overtook her senses.

    1.22 +>	The whole situation was still confusing for Sakura.  After spending
    1.23 +almost an entire day's time thinking about it, Sakura decided to do some
    1.24 +rollerblading to clear her head.  But gliding down the sidewalk in the
    1.25 +early afternoon didn't make any difference.  'What did she mean by it?'
    1.26 +Sakura thought to herself.  'And why did she do it?  I still don't
    1.27 +understand.'  Sakura fully understood Tomoyo's intention for writing the
    1.28 +letter, what she didn't understand was how it could be natural for Tomoyo
    1.29 +to feel that way.  'Was she just joking about it?  Hmm...no, that's
    1.30 +probably not it.  She wouldn't have done anything like that to me.  But how
    1.31 +could she say all that and mean it?'  As Sakura continued skating, her
    1.32 +thoughts went to what was actually said in Tomoyo's letter.  Sakura
    1.33 +recalled the feelings of emotion that the letter tried to convey.  She
    1.34 +didn't think much of it at first, but the more she thought about it, the
    1.35 +more she related it to all of the moments she was with Tomoyo.  She thought
    1.36 +about all of the times that Tomoyo looked up to her and gave her support
    1.37 +when she was a card captor.  She thought about the times when the two of
    1.38 +them would just hand out together.  The one thing that Sakura rememberd the
    1.39 +most about Tomoyo was the way she looked at her.  Tomoyo's eyes were always
    1.40 +full of cheerfulness and affection, and now that Sakura had read the
    1.41 +letter, she understood why Tomoyo always had that look of affection.  The
    1.42 +brown haired girl's thoughts began to effect how fast she was moving on her
    1.43 +rollerblades.  Her speed decreased until she came to a stop at a street
    1.44 +corner.  As Sakura stood motionless, she thought about how much Tomoyo
    1.45 +cared for her, about how much her heart went out to Sakura.  Then her mind
    1.46 +went back to how she treated Tomoyo the other day, the way she abandoned
    1.47 +her best friend without telling her how she felt.  She was beginning to get
    1.48 +mad at herself for reacting that way and she was starting to imagine how
    1.49 +Tomoyo was feeling about all of this.  Sakura was afraid of committing the
    1.50 +crime she hoped never to commit, breaking the feelings of her best friend.
    1.51 +Tomoyo's bright smile was something that the brown haired girl loved to see
    1.52 +and it got to her that she might not see it again.  But as guilt was making
    1.53 +its way into the girl, another feeling came in that was even stronger.  The
    1.54 +feelings that Sakurta had for Tomoyo were tremendous.  Sakura had always
    1.55 +felt that she wanted to help out her friend if she felt sad or worried.
    1.56 +Her desire to help was greater than it had ever been, even while she knew
    1.57 +that she was the cause of the problem.  It was now she realized that she
    1.58 +cared about her friend so much, that she loved her.  This new discovery
    1.59 +shocked Sakura as well as added to her confusion.  It was hard for her to
    1.60 +think that she could feel that strongly toward another girl.  There was
    1.61 +nothing that seemed logical in the situation that Sakura was in.  The brown
    1.62 +haired girl was lost in the thoughts of her mind until she heard something
    1.63 +approach.  As she looked forward to see what brought her back to reality,
    1.64 +she saw that a black car was coming down the street.  It didn't take Sakura
    1.65 +long to recognize the vehicle.  "That's Tomoyo's car," she said.  As the
    1.66 +car passed her, Sakura was able to get a good look inside.  Sakura noticed
    1.67 +the driver and Tomoyo's bodyguards and, for a brief instant, saw that
    1.68 +Tomoyo was riding along with them.  But it was the expression on Tomoyo's
    1.69 +face that got Sakura's attention.  The dark haired girl had her head hung
    1.70 +low with a lok of utter depression.  It was obvious to Sakura how her
    1.71 +friend felt as the car drove by.  Sakura watched until the vehicle was out
    1.72 +of sight.  The girl became concerned over what she had seen.  But even as
    1.73 +she felt sorry for her best friend, she cringed after seeing the results of
    1.74 +her actions firsthand.
