     7 A Card Captor Sakura story -  the story half is mine, but CLAMP gets credit for 

     8 CCS. If you're some easily offended chick go fuck off. Use a rake if you have 

     9 one handy. Gays should have equal marriage rights. Marriage should cease to be 

    10 observed. Ms Mizuki enjoys heavy BSSM. If you're still reading you have no 

    11 right to flame me over any content, so please enjoy. ^W^

    15 Tomoyo straightens Syaoran's tie as she looks him over, then gives a little 

    16 nod. "You aren't going to mess this up, right? We spent all day working over 

    17 what you're going to say..." She moves over to her camera bag, starting to 

    18 check over the equipment.

    19 

    20 "He'll screw it up, I'm telling you. Don't worry though Li-kun, I'll still take 

    21 you back after Sakura turns you down for looking such a fool."

    22 

    23 "Don't listen to her Syaoran. You can do this." Tomoyo gives him a smile and 

    24 zippers the bag back up. This plan was best for sure. Meilin would forgive her 

    25 surely after all.

    26 

    27 Li moves a hand up to his head, but stops just before running it through his 

    28 well groomed hair. "C'mon you two, I know I'll do okay. Meilin..." A sigh. 

    29 "You'd have been so much easier to deal with if you'd have just got mad at me. 

    30 I'm going to ask her to marry me, why aren't you angry?"

    31 

    32 ---

    33 

    34 Tomoyo slides outside, leaving the two alone to talk that over and taking the 

    35 time to think over the plan. Thinking to have Syaoran ask her under a sakura 

    36 tree... the video would be nearly perfect. "If only it could be me who asks 

    37 her..."

    38

    40 

    41 "Sakura, stoooop~!!" The brunette turns around in the doorway and Kero slams 

    42 into her chest, wings flapping wildly. He looks up at her, chest puffing as he 

    43 catches his breath back. "I have to tell you... I hope she'll forgive me. 

    44 Tomoyo is in love with you." 

    45 

    46 He expected shock, disbelief, something. Instead Sakura heaves a deep sigh. "I 

    47 don't love her back Kero. What can I do? She's my best friend, and I love her, 

    48 but not in the same way. Anything I tell her will just make her even more 

    49 sad..." Tears well in the corners of her eyes and she wipes them away with 

    50 balled fists. "Syaoran's going to ask me soon Kero-chan, and I think I want to 

    51 say yes. What do I do for Tomoyo??"

    52 

    53 ---

    54 

    55 Syaoran's heart was racing as the pink leaves fall calmly around him. She's not 

    56 here yet. Don't worry, she'll be here soon. Sakura, I love you. Sakura, I love 

    57 you. I think about you whenever we're apart... Tomoyo's words from his mouth. 

    58 He shouldn't be doing this. It was a horrible idea, a lie to the girl he loved 

    59 to say these words of half-truth. I won't do that, to any of them. What a 

    60 selfish bastard I'm being...

    61 

    62 ---

    63 

    64 They both peered out from thier place in the bushes, Meilin watching Syaoran, 

    65 Tomoyo's camera trailed on the path where she expects to see Sakura.

    66 

    67 "You're sure you aren't mad?"

    68 

    69 "I wish you weren't doing this, but I don't hate you for it Tomoyo. You're 

    70 probably even making him happier, I should thank you."

    71 

    72 A tiny sigh, "They'll make a wonderful couple."

    73 

    74 Meilin's voice is bitter, "Yes, yes they will. You see it, and you act on it... 

    75 you're a better woman than I am. He'll have no room in his life for me, she's 

    76 too perfect. Do you find my Syaoran so faulty that she'll still need you by her 

    77 side?"

    78 

    79 ---

    80 

    81 "Sorry for imposing on you."

    82 

    83 "Don't be silly Sakura-chan, you're always welcome here. I don't think Tomoyo 

    84 will be out long, and to tell you the truth I'm glad to have a break from my 

    85 work for tea."

    86 

    87 She bows as deeply as she can. "Sonomi, please, help me. I can't break her 

    88 heart..."

    89 

    90 ---

    91 

    92 "He's going home? Why..."

    93 

    94 Tomoyo stares at Syaoran's back , camera held to the side, red light flashing 

    95 as he suddenly, simply walks off. "Meilin, I think you have a unique 

    96 opportunity jsut now. I wish you heartfelt luck... I'll wait for Sakura-chan 

    97 here."

    98 

    99 ---

   100 

   101 Li frowns as Meling catches up to him, turning around to face her. "I love you. 

   102 I don't only love you though. Can you accept that?"

   103 

   104 She pounces forward into his chest, arms wrapping tightly around his waist. 

   105 "Li-kun you baka! Noone only loves one person. Are you choosing me?"

   106 

   107 He smiles down at her, wondering what he was doing. He loved Meilin dearly... 

   108 much like a little sister, had he had one. "I'm not choosing -her-. Would you 

   109 like to go out for supper? Daidouji has an amazing night planned."

   110 

   111 ---

   112 

   113 The waiting was bad for both of them. Eventually Sonomi was called away back to 

   114 work, and given the run of the place Sakura moved to the gardens to wait. Had 

   115 that sakura tree been outside Tomoyo's window before?

   116 

   117 ---

   118 

   119 Tomoyo has had bodyguards all her life, and she knows how to avoid them for a 

   120 time when she really wants to. And so she gets back to her room without having 

   121 to talk to anyone, ready to let her emotions out when she hears it come in her 

   122 window faintly. "Tomoyo-chan..."

   123 

   124 Sakura's voice! She runs over, throws the window open, and she's standing there 

   125 under the tree, looking radiantly beautiful with the light of the setting sun 

   126 upon her.  

   127 

   128 "I -DO- love you, Tomoyo-chan."
