1 Changing Seasons
2 by tehwalrus, a Card Captor Sakura fanfiction
6 Winter gently, slowly makes herself known. She creeps up in that first cold
7 wind, in a guise as she first introduces herself to you, her long fingers
8 playing through your hair, brown locks waving in the...
12 Tomoyo closes her notebook with a happy but also regretful sigh as class
13 finishes. She wanted to keep writing, but now she gets to go on her date with
14 Sakura-chan! Of course, not a real date... She smiles at the brown haired
15 bishoujo sitting in the desk next to her. "How is your poem coming Sakura-chan?
16 Is it going to be excellent or spectacular?" The second girl blushes very
17 cutely as she finishes packing up. "Tomoyo-chan... it really isn't as good as
18 you say it is."
20 Naoko, Chiharu and Rika walked over just then, each of the girls carrying thier
21 schoolstuffs. Tomoyo smiles softly to the three, "Hello Naoko, Rika, Chiharu.
22 Could you tell me how good this poem is?" She struggles just a little to bring
23 up her memory of it, then begins to recite.
25 "Sakura blossoms and Spring are two parts of the same thing. One just another
26 flower without the other while Spring would be never seen without pink and
27 green..."
29 "Oh, very nice Tomoyo!" All three of Sakura's friends congratulated, Sakura
30 blushing deeply. Tomoyo shakes her head a little bit, looking dreamily at
31 Sakura. "Oh, that was Sakura-chan's great poem, not mine. It is very good
32 Sakura-chan, everyone agreed." The girl nods, still blushing. "Hai, arigatou
33 everyone. Tomoyo-chan and I were going to get ice cream before the store closes
34 for christmas. Would you like to come too?"
36 Tomoyo frowned only very slightly. She wanted to spend time alone with her
37 genki friend, but wanting to make everyone happy and feel included was part of
38 what made Sakura-chan Sakura-chan. Chiharu noticed the little disappointed look
39 on Tomoyo's face, and quickly shook her head. "Sorry Sakura, we were all going
40 to go over some homework together so we'll have it all done for the break." The
41 other two nodded after a second, realizing what was going on. "We'll come next
42 time."
44 Tomoyo whispered a small thank you as the three friends left and felt bad...
45 Sakura had confided in her, saying how she wasn't happy about how she and the
46 other three girls were growing apart, not realizing everyone had taken to
47 leaving the brunette alone with Tomoyo for the heiress' sake. Sonomi kept
48 saying that Sakura-chan was definately having more fun with just Tomoyo... but
49 Tomoyo always felt guilty anyways, though not enough to give up this time with
50 her Sakura-chan. She felt even more guilty for not acting on her guilt.
54 ...wind. She stays the same inside, but over time her intensity grows unable to
55 hide itself and she snows down, showing her true colors, ruining your happiness
56 with her frozen tears.
60 Tomoyo smiles as Sakura tells her about how Christmas had originated in the
61 South Pole, but then Santa had to move since his wife was allergic to penguins.
62 Tomoyo takes a bite of ice cream, shaking her head ruefully. "Did Yamazaki-kun
63 tell you that Sakura-chan?" She giggles as Sakura nods emphatically. "I think
64 maybe he was making it up."
66 Sakura blushes deeply again, embarassed at herself. "I always believe him..."
67 Tomoyo reaches across the table, taking Sakura's hand in both of her own and
68 smiling softly at the brunette.
70 "Sakura-chan is sweet and trusting. Don't be ashamed about it, those are some
71 of the things that make Sakura-chan so perfect and wonderful." Tomoyo cringes
72 inwardly... I have to tone it down some, not even kawaii Sakura-chan is
73 completely naive. Of course, she was going to tell Sakura her feelings soon
74 enough. If the poem Sakura was going to open on Christmas morning wasn't
75 enough, Tomoyo wrote at the bottom "I love you Sakura, as your mother loved
76 your father." Not even Sakura's naivety could escape the blatance there.
78 Sakura paled, her eyes going wide. "Tomoyo-chan... you love me?" Her speech
79 comes out a bare whisper, but it more than enough to startle the heiress out of
80 her introspection. She... she must have said the words aloud? Tomoyo nods once,
81 slipping the poem out of her notebook and setting it on the table, then running
82 quickly out of the building. She wasn't expecting this, she wasn't prepared...
83 she didn't know what to say, so she just ran and kept running, not noticing
84 where she was going.
86 Eventually she stops, finding herself on the bridge, and takes a seat along the
87 edge of it, tears streaming down her face. "I ruined the whole plan, I was
88 supposed to be at home when Sakura opened it, to give her a chance to reject me
89 and never see me again. I was..." She stops midsentence at the sound of the so
90 familiar voice behind her.
92 "That's not fair Tomoyo-chan, I... you should have done as you did, and tell me
93 to my face." Sakura puts a hand on Tomoyo's shoulder, sitting down beside her
94 friend and pulling the sobbing girl into a comforting hug. "We're best friends
95 Tomoyo-chan, you know you can tell me anything. I love you too..." Sakura's
96 face lights up as she comes to that realization, and Tomoyo's sobs stop from
97 where she's tucked agaisnt the brunette's shoulder.
99 She looks up, most of her tears wiped from her cheeks. "Y-You do?" Sakura nods
100 a little, grinning. "I do Tomoyo-chan... I didn't know it, but I do."
104 And the brunette wipes the frosty tears away with a gentle kiss, holding Winter
105 tight to herself and revealing Spring, still wet with sadness but joyful as
106 happiness begins.
