rlm@0:               Rain poured down as if the very clouds were mourning along with Sakura.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               He was gone.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               Not even the Mistress of the Clow could raise the dead.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               It would've been easy to shield herself from the elements, but she preferred 
rlm@0:               not to.  A simple umbrella was all that prvented her from being completely 
rlm@0:               drenched.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "Sakura-chan."  Tomoyo stood by her side, unattended by her cadre of 
rlm@0:               bodyguards.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "Please, leave me alone, Tomoyo-chan.  I need to do this by myself."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "I know that the two of you were happy together--but you shouldn't throw 
rlm@0:               away your life just because you lost him."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "I'm not--"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "Touya said you haven't eaten in a week."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               Sakura froze as she finally heard her body screaming for sustenance.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "Please...come home."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               She turned and looked at Tomoyo nearly in tears herself.  Her eyes were 
rlm@0:               crying out, I don't want to lose you.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "To...Tomoyo-chan...  I didn't mean--" Sakura choked on her own tears "--all 
rlm@0:               this time, I didn't know.  Please believe me."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "I'd always hoped that you would see how I loved you someday, but I didn't 
rlm@0:               want it to be like this."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               The raven-haired heiress paused as the downpour began to ebb.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "Sometimes it seems like there's no hope in sight, but then something 
rlm@0:               wonderfully unexpected happens."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "I was happy while you were--"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "I was happy, too--happy for you.  At least I tried to be.  I knew I could 
rlm@0:               make you happy, but I was afraid you wouldn't...understand."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               "Oh, Tomoyo-chan...."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               Tomoyo gazed upon her dearest friend and love as Sakura slowly opened her 
rlm@0:               heart to the one who had always been right beside her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               It was the longest and most treasured moment of their lives.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               The rain had stopped half an hour ago.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               Golden rays of light caressed their rain-soaked and weary bodies.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               Tomoyo's warmth far exceeded the Sun's as Sakura lay with her head upon her 
rlm@0:               best friend and newfound-lover's bosom.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0:               Rainy days never last for long.
