    1.13 +
    1.14 +
    1.15 +
    1.16 +              Rain poured down as if the very clouds were mourning along with Sakura.
    1.17 +
    1.18 +              He was gone.
    1.19 +
    1.20 +              Not even the Mistress of the Clow could raise the dead.
    1.21 +
    1.22 +              It would've been easy to shield herself from the elements, but she preferred 
    1.23 +              not to.  A simple umbrella was all that prvented her from being completely 
    1.24 +              drenched.
    1.25 +
    1.26 +              "Sakura-chan."  Tomoyo stood by her side, unattended by her cadre of 
    1.27 +              bodyguards.
    1.28 +
    1.29 +              "Please, leave me alone, Tomoyo-chan.  I need to do this by myself."
    1.30 +
    1.31 +              "I know that the two of you were happy together--but you shouldn't throw 
    1.32 +              away your life just because you lost him."
    1.33 +
    1.34 +              "I'm not--"
    1.35 +
    1.36 +              "Touya said you haven't eaten in a week."
    1.37 +
    1.38 +              Sakura froze as she finally heard her body screaming for sustenance.
    1.39 +
    1.40 +              "Please...come home."
    1.41 +
    1.42 +              She turned and looked at Tomoyo nearly in tears herself.  Her eyes were 
    1.43 +              crying out, I don't want to lose you.
    1.44 +
    1.45 +              "To...Tomoyo-chan...  I didn't mean--" Sakura choked on her own tears "--all 
    1.46 +              this time, I didn't know.  Please believe me."
    1.47 +
    1.48 +              "I'd always hoped that you would see how I loved you someday, but I didn't 
    1.49 +              want it to be like this."
    1.50 +
    1.51 +              The raven-haired heiress paused as the downpour began to ebb.
    1.52 +
    1.53 +              "Sometimes it seems like there's no hope in sight, but then something 
    1.54 +              wonderfully unexpected happens."
    1.55 +
    1.56 +              "I was happy while you were--"
    1.57 +
    1.58 +              "I was happy, too--happy for you.  At least I tried to be.  I knew I could 
    1.59 +              make you happy, but I was afraid you wouldn't...understand."
    1.60 +
    1.61 +              "Oh, Tomoyo-chan...."
    1.62 +
    1.63 +              Tomoyo gazed upon her dearest friend and love as Sakura slowly opened her 
    1.64 +              heart to the one who had always been right beside her.
    1.65 +
    1.66 +              It was the longest and most treasured moment of their lives.
    1.67 +
    1.68 +              The rain had stopped half an hour ago.
    1.69 +
    1.70 +              Golden rays of light caressed their rain-soaked and weary bodies.
    1.71 +
    1.72 +              Tomoyo's warmth far exceeded the Sun's as Sakura lay with her head upon her 
    1.73 +              best friend and newfound-lover's bosom.
    1.74 +
    1.75 +              Rainy days never last for long.
