    10 

    11 

    12 

    13               Rain poured down as if the very clouds were mourning along with Sakura.

    14 

    15               He was gone.

    16 

    17               Not even the Mistress of the Clow could raise the dead.

    18 

    19               It would've been easy to shield herself from the elements, but she preferred 

    20               not to.  A simple umbrella was all that prvented her from being completely 

    21               drenched.

    22 

    23               "Sakura-chan."  Tomoyo stood by her side, unattended by her cadre of 

    24               bodyguards.

    25 

    26               "Please, leave me alone, Tomoyo-chan.  I need to do this by myself."

    27 

    28               "I know that the two of you were happy together--but you shouldn't throw 

    29               away your life just because you lost him."

    30 

    31               "I'm not--"

    32 

    33               "Touya said you haven't eaten in a week."

    34 

    35               Sakura froze as she finally heard her body screaming for sustenance.

    36 

    37               "Please...come home."

    38 

    39               She turned and looked at Tomoyo nearly in tears herself.  Her eyes were 

    40               crying out, I don't want to lose you.

    41 

    42               "To...Tomoyo-chan...  I didn't mean--" Sakura choked on her own tears "--all 

    43               this time, I didn't know.  Please believe me."

    44 

    45               "I'd always hoped that you would see how I loved you someday, but I didn't 

    46               want it to be like this."

    47 

    48               The raven-haired heiress paused as the downpour began to ebb.

    49 

    50               "Sometimes it seems like there's no hope in sight, but then something 

    51               wonderfully unexpected happens."

    52 

    53               "I was happy while you were--"

    54 

    55               "I was happy, too--happy for you.  At least I tried to be.  I knew I could 

    56               make you happy, but I was afraid you wouldn't...understand."

    57 

    58               "Oh, Tomoyo-chan...."

    59 

    60               Tomoyo gazed upon her dearest friend and love as Sakura slowly opened her 

    61               heart to the one who had always been right beside her.

    62 

    63               It was the longest and most treasured moment of their lives.

    64 

    65               The rain had stopped half an hour ago.

    66 

    67               Golden rays of light caressed their rain-soaked and weary bodies.

    68 

    69               Tomoyo's warmth far exceeded the Sun's as Sakura lay with her head upon her 

    70               best friend and newfound-lover's bosom.

    71 

    72               Rainy days never last for long.
