rlm@0: We Meet Again (Shoujo-Ai Archive Fanfiction)We Meet Again
rlm@0: a Card Captor Sakura fanfiction by Kamui Ikari
rlm@0: Hi!!! I'm back with a new story of CCS. I remembered that I promised
rlm@0: time ago I would make a story called "We meet again", but I forgot it.
rlm@0: Then I did "You and me, together forever", "Maņana" then finally I did
rlm@0: this story. This story will closure that period that I started with
rlm@0: "She won't cry for you", "Don't lose Hope" and "Tomoyo's Farewell
rlm@0: Letter", these ones are about Tomoyo's destiny after the ugly ending of
rlm@0: CCS, especially "She won't cry for you" where Tomoyo's destiny is
rlm@0: facing at her fifteen years old her own death. Really, I never thought
rlm@0: why I made these stories. It was a moment a depression, but I finally
rlm@0: decided not make these type of stories nevermore. Because I realized
rlm@0: that I was giving the reason to the Sakura x Syaoran fans. Why?. Maybe
rlm@0: in my opinion, for them this topic is closed, but for me not. They have
rlm@0: their happy ending, then why I would make more stories only to give
rlm@0: them the reason? Honestly, I would accept the official ending, but I
rlm@0: don't and never. Why?. In my opinion, the ending was very forced,
rlm@0: Sakura started to see Syaoran as a friend but in the last volume of
rlm@0: manga, she fell in love with him so fast, and ended with him in the
rlm@0: end. For me it's ugly, but for the S+S fans it's okay, they ended
rlm@0: together and that's all. But for me that relationship is not
rlm@0: convincing, Sakura fell in love with him so fast. That kind of "fast
rlm@0: relationship" is not convincing for me. Another point that I don't like
rlm@0: it, is that Tomoyo was the only character that ended alone in the end,
rlm@0: all ended with someone in the end less her. Well, enough of thoughts
rlm@0: but I need to get out of my chest.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Some points:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: -The story takes places after the end oof CCS.
rlm@0: -It seems for the title that is a S+S sstory, but I'm sorry. It's a yuri
rlm@0: fic, of course you must know what is yuri but I will explain: is a term
rlm@0: designed for love between girls, women, etc. So if you don't like these
rlm@0: type of stories please leave, if you like please go on.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I hope you liked it and I will see you at the end of story.

rlm@0: -----------------------------------------------------------------------
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: How did it start? It started when I was ten years old, I remember that
rlm@0: I was waiting on my seat when I met her. She gave me an eraser and said
rlm@0: that she was glad to give me that. We became best friends and we did
rlm@0: many things together, but all that changed. She found the Clow Book and
rlm@0: opened it, then she became the Card Captor. I made costumes for her,
rlm@0: recorded her on video, anything that she needed I was willing to give
rlm@0: her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: He came too. A Chinese boy that was her rival first, later her friend
rlm@0: and finally her number one person.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: It's true that I said I'd him give a try, I was hoping that she will be
rlm@0: happy with him, I was hoping to stay with her until the day that I
rlm@0: would tell her my true feelings.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She choose him as her number one person, she and him gave the names to
rlm@0: the bears. He left to Hong Kong and she promised to wait for him. I
rlm@0: remember when she left to find him and tell her feelings.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I was smiling, then I knew that my true feelings would be sealed
rlm@0: forever and went to my house. I think that my mother entered in my
rlm@0: room, she found me in bed. She looked at me with an understanding look
rlm@0: on her face, she embraced me and didn't say anything.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I remembered that I cried so much.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She was naive as I was. I was naive because I was hoping that she would
rlm@0: choose me as her number one person. But she didn't. She is my number
rlm@0: one person but I wasn't for her. I was in love with her, but she ended
rlm@0: with him. After he left, things seemed to return to normal. We did the
rlm@0: same things that we did together before, but she usually said that she
rlm@0: couldn't wait to see him again. She thanked me for being her best
rlm@0: friend.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I smiled at her, but inside me I knew that was the end for my chances
rlm@0: of telling her my feelings. After five years he returned to Japan, I
rlm@0: saw their meeting and she said that they will be together forever.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Once again I smiled but my heart broke again.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Then all changed, we started a new period on college. A new group of
rlm@0: students came to our classroom. She was very popular in class, they
rlm@0: became her friends and I was happy. Chiharu, Rika, Yamazaki and Naoko
rlm@0: weren't with us. They parted from us, looking for their own path.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: When the classes were over, she waited for him, he came for her and
rlm@0: they leave as usually they did. They greeted me as always they did.
rlm@0: Then I walked to my home alone as I always did.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Life was showing my destiny, a destiny that suited me, alone.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: During that time she didn't call me at my house like the times she did
rlm@0: before, the calls were distant. In school, I was wishing to do
rlm@0: something for her. I asked her if she needed something many times. Her
rlm@0: response was the same:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "No, I don't. Thank you."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I asked her if she wanted to talk with me, but she said that she
rlm@0: didn't.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I knew when I wasn't needed.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I didn't press her to have a talk with me or need something. I just let
rlm@0: her go.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I saw many times how she went to her new friends to ask something, need
rlm@0: something and how they agreed. She was happy with them. She and him
rlm@0: went with them to their dates. She was happy with him.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: When Valentine's Day came I made chocolates for her. I was hoping that
rlm@0: at least she would receive them. When I gave it to her, she thanked me
rlm@0: but she returned them to me. She said that I would give them to a boy,
rlm@0: because all girls do that, giving chocolates to a boy. I said that I
rlm@0: didn't have a boy and I would like to give them to her. But she said
rlm@0: that she wouldn't receive them, she said that when we're children it
rlm@0: was normal, but that now it was different. Because a girl that did that
rlm@0: it wasn't "normal".
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: My heart broke again.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She gave them to me and left. He was waiting for her and had a box of
rlm@0: them for her, they embraced and kissed. Once again I smiled.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I left the place and when the class was over I went to my house. I left
rlm@0: them on the desk and I collapsed on my bed crying. The next day I
rlm@0: looked for her and said that I was sorry but I wanted to give it to her
rlm@0: because she was my best friend. She said that Valentine's Day is a day
rlm@0: for the ones who were in love, not friends. She asked if I saw someone
rlm@0: of the girls doing that. I said to her no, she said that I was the only
rlm@0: one who did that and her friends said to her that I wasn't normal. Then
rlm@0: she said that became a rumor through college. I asked her if she
rlm@0: believed it. Her response was simple:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I asked to her what she saw on me that could be considered "not
rlm@0: normal". She said that I was obsessed with her. I was in love with her,
rlm@0: I was worried about her, I wanted her to be happy, is that called
rlm@0: obsession?
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: It seems that for others is, but not for me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: For me it's to be in love with her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She said that her friends said that I'm different, I asked her what
rlm@0: they said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "They said that you're... a lesbian."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Once again, I asked her if she believed it.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I don't want to believe that you..."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "That I'm?" I asked her serious.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "No, I don't want to believe..."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Maybe a talk could help it...
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I extended my hand but she said:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Please... don't touch me, please don't look at me, you... scare me"
rlm@0: she said to me with tears in her eyes.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Then I smiled to her and said:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You believe them, don't you? Please be honest" I said smiling.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "At first no, but now it seems that yes" she said with tears.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Before saying something, she said:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Please go, please go, please go... please" she said crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I smiled with tears and then I left her alone but I said something:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I just want you to be happy , that's all"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She didn't say anything and I left.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: The following week was harder.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: When I entered in the class, nobody greeted me. I heard them saying
rlm@0: that I was a freak, a lesbian, a error of nature. Nobody wanted to
rlm@0: speak me, to ask me something, and needing something... nothing from
rlm@0: me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She didn't talk to me, when I was looking for her she avoided her gaze,
rlm@0: she changed her seat. She went far from me. When the class was over, I
rlm@0: just went to my house. My mother was taking care of my little brother,
rlm@0: Kenji. He born when I was 13 years old. She saw me and left him and
rlm@0: came to me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She embraced me again and said:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Just let it out, let it out"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Once again I cried.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After that I went to my room and locked it, I went to my bookshelf, I
rlm@0: chose one of her videos. I put it on. It was one of her battles
rlm@0: against a Clow Card. I looked to my camera, I haven't used it for many
rlm@0: years, always I found something about her that I wanted to record.
rlm@0: Anything about her, I wanted to record.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After that I looked to my sewing tools, I remember how much time I
rlm@0: spent making the costumes for her. I was happy to make costumes for
rlm@0: her, just saw her with my designs made me so happy. I did many things
rlm@0: for her. Time ago I heard that if someone did something they will get a
rlm@0: reward.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Maybe what's happening to me is my reward for all I did.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Then I went to my bed and I thought about making a decision about my
rlm@0: life. At the next day I talked with my mother about the decision. She
rlm@0: was surprised but she said if that was I really wanted she would accept
rlm@0: it.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Thank you, mother," I said with tears.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After that my mother helped me with arranging things, after a few days
rlm@0: I made a bear for my brother. Then I knew that there was one thing left
rlm@0: to do.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I dialed her number.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Hello, Kinomoto house."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Hi, Fujitaka-san. Is Sakura there?"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "No, she went a date with her boyfriend. Do you need something?" he
rlm@0: asked.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes. Please could you tell her "Farewell" for me?" I asked.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, but did something happen?" he asked worried.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "No, but could you tell her "I won't interfere with your life anymore,
rlm@0: just be happy. It's the only thing I most desire," for me please?"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes," he said uncertainly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Thanks for everything, Fujitaka-san. Send my regards to Touya-san and
rlm@0: Yukito-san" I said and hung up the phone.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After that I went to see my brother, he was sleeping with the bear that
rlm@0: I made. I smiled and kissed him on the forehead.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I left his room and picked my things. My mother was waiting for me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "It's almost time."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: We picked a car and went to the airport.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Will you write me?"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Of course, I will be back someday. Don't worry about me, but I need to
rlm@0: do this. Take care of Kenji-kun, please," I said to her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I will wait for that day" she said crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Me too," I said crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: We embraced tightly, then I picked my things and took my flight.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: A flight which will make me leave Japan and her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: **********
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I traveled the entire world, it was easy because of the family's
rlm@0: fortune. My mother settled things about my studies and I didn't have to
rlm@0: worry about that. The trip was the last chance to start a new life
rlm@0: without her. The trip was about healing my broken heart.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I never imagined how the outside world was. I went to many countries in
rlm@0: Europe, North America, South America. I learned many things from these
rlm@0: places.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: My mother sent me photos of Kenji and her. My brother was growing up
rlm@0: and he was cute. He asked about me many times, when I would return to
rlm@0: Japan. I would like to tell him the real reason of my departure but I
rlm@0: didn't want make him sad. My mother also asked me about my return, that
rlm@0: she missed me so much. I missed them so much, I knew that I would
rlm@0: return someday but I wasn't ready. I send them the things that I got in
rlm@0: the countries that I stayed, photos, gifts, anything of these places.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I traveled the world for almost six years but as the time passed, I
rlm@0: felt empty...
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I missed her so much.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: During that time, I tried to break the bond to her, but I failed. I
rlm@0: looked for someone special but I didn't find anyone.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Once again, life was showing my destiny, alone.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Before heading to Japan I stayed for a time in Argentina. I met
rlm@0: someone, an old woman who tells the future. She said that I was wrong
rlm@0: about the reward. That the real reward will come from someone
rlm@0: unexpected. After that I left Argentina and went back to Japan.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: **********
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: During the flight back, I read the letters my mother sent me, I was
rlm@0: surprised to see a letter from Eriol-san. We wrote some letters before
rlm@0: but curiously the letters were distant, sometimes I didn't receive
rlm@0: anything from him. I read the letter, he wrote that he finally began
rlm@0: with his life after choosing not to be a magician anymore. He was
rlm@0: studying to become a lawyer, that Nakuru-san was in couple with a man,
rlm@0: that Spinel was working on a TV program for kids. He wanted to know how
rlm@0: was everything in Tomoeda, but I wasn't in Tomoeda for almost six
rlm@0: years. After that he said that he was married with Kaho Mizuki-sensei
rlm@0: and she was waiting a child from him. He was excited and couldn't wait
rlm@0: to see his child. He asked if I got someone special. I would like to
rlm@0: say to him that I didn't.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: In this six years I realized that I can't love anyone but her...
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Soon I noticed I was in Japan. I left the airport and went directly to
rlm@0: my house.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After a time I reached my house and I pressed the doorbell.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Who is it?" asked the voice through the receiver.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "It's me, Sonomi's daughter, Tomoyo Daidouji" I said happily.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: The door opened and I entered. I waited for my mother to come out of
rlm@0: the house.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She did, she was crying with joy.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You came, as you promised." she said crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, I'm back. I never forgot the promises I made. I waited for this
rlm@0: day, mother," I said crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: We embraced crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Why you didn't tell me that you were returning? I would have gone to
rlm@0: the airport to pick you up," she said worried.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I wanted to give you a surprise mom," I simply said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "It's so good that you're here now, I just thought that you would never
rlm@0: return..." she said crying again.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I promised you that I would return to Japan, remember? I'm here" I
rlm@0: said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After that we entered the house, I saw Kenji with a beautiful girl of
rlm@0: his same age.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Tomoyo nee-san!!!"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Hi, Kenji onii-chan!!!" I said happily.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: He embraced me crying..
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I missed you so much, nee-san" he said crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I missed you, too. You're a strong boy, onii-chan. And cute" I said
rlm@0: smiling.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: He blushed.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Will you leave again?" he asked.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "No, I won't. I will stay with you, onii-chan. I will never leave you
rlm@0: alone, and mother too" I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: My mother was smiling.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I was glad to stay here with my mother, my brother, with the people
rlm@0: that loved me...
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: If only she could understand my true feelings...
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You brought me something?" he asked happily.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Of course! I have many things for you, onii-chan. Who is this
rlm@0: beautiful girl?" I asked politely.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I'm Hinako, I'm pleased to meet you, Daidouji-san"
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Just call me Tomoyo. You're really cute Hinako-chan."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Thanks, Tomoyo-san" she said blushing and bowed before me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I talked with them about the things that I did these six years. While I
rlm@0: was talking with them I noticed that Kenji-kun and Hinako-san were
rlm@0: holding hands, I smiled at the sight of that.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: They were talking about many things and my mother and me left them
rlm@0: alone. We entered in the kitchen and the maid prepared two cups of tea
rlm@0: for us. We went to my room for a talk.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Kenji onii-chan and Hinako-san are going out, mom?" I asked to her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, it seems for me, they didn't accept yet. But I saw the love
rlm@0: between them. I'm glad that he found someone special like her" she
rlm@0: said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "He will pass the Daidouji's name to his future sons and daughters. But
rlm@0: I'm not glad for this, I'm glad because he will not suffer as we
rlm@0: suffered all these years. If someday he's going to suffer, his pain
rlm@0: will be different from ours, he was born fated to follow a different
rlm@0: path that us" I said with a smile.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "It's true, his path is different than ours" my mother said sadly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Do you still love her, mother? Do you still love Nadeshiko-san?" I
rlm@0: asked her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, even I tried to break the bond to her, I didn't. It was my first
rlm@0: love, but it was unrequited. I continued with my life after she get
rlm@0: married, I found your father and married him. I loved your father, but
rlm@0: it wasn't the same that I still feel for Nadeshiko, she is still in my
rlm@0: heart," my mother said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I nodded at her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "And you? Do you still love Sakura?" she asked me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, it's my first love too. I thought that the trip would make me
rlm@0: forget about her, but I still love her. It seems that we can't break
rlm@0: that destiny. I believe that we can't control love, love controls us.
rlm@0: The first love is special but is more special when it's your first love
rlm@0: and your true love." I said sadly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You thought about marriage, Tomoyo?" she asked.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, I thought about that. But I decided that I will not marry.
rlm@0: Because I can't love anyone but her. Even I tried to letting go of her
rlm@0: but I failed, she is like a seed that is strongly implanted on my
rlm@0: heart. What would happen if I have a child, a daughter? She would fell
rlm@0: in love with her daughter, and then the same would repeat again. I
rlm@0: don't want that child suffer. I want to end this cycle that began with
rlm@0: you mother. It started with you, it will end with me." I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You're strong, Tomoyo" she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "We're strong mom, you and me. We're strong because realizing that
rlm@0: you're in love with a person of your same sex and accepting it made us
rlm@0: strong, being rejected made us strong. Your unrequited love and mine
rlm@0: made us strong. Life made us strong for standing up when we fell. If my
rlm@0: destiny is to be alone, I will accept it then" I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She embraced me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Ah, I have some news of your friends," she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "From whom?" I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "From Chiharu-san, Yamazaki-san, Naoko-san and Rika-san" she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Really?!" I said happily
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: My mother told me about their destiny. Yamazaki and Chiharu got married
rlm@0: and waiting a child. Naoko got a boyfriend. And Rika got married with
rlm@0: Terada-sensei. I knew that Rika and Terada were going out. She told me
rlm@0: before heading her own path, I was surprised but I whished her luck.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After that, when it was almost midnight, I decided to take a walk. My
rlm@0: mother sent the bodyguards with me. After a time, I told them to leave
rlm@0: and I will call them when I was ready to leave. I walked to the King
rlm@0: Penguin Park, it seemed that nothing changed in these almost six years
rlm@0: of absence.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I sat in one of the swings and looked to the stars, they were shining
rlm@0: and so was the moon. Then I heard something...
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Last night, I dreamt that you returned to Tomoeda" said a voice.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I froze at the sound of that.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "We meet again" said the voice again.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I had no doubt, it was her voice.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I turned around to see her, and I found her. I saw something different,
rlm@0: she was different. She was smiling sadly, and a tear ran through her
rlm@0: cheek. Her hair was still short but a little longer, her eyes were so
rlm@0: different... they could tell a lot of emotions, but it seemed that they
rlm@0: showed... pain.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I saw her sitting in another swing then I turned my head.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You traveled the entire world, didn't you?" she asked.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "How did you know?" I asked surprised.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Because I did a lot of researching. I did anything to find where you
rlm@0: were" she said quietly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Before saying something, she said:
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I broke with him" she said darkly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I was shocked to hear that, I believed that she and him would be
rlm@0: together forever. She chose him as her number one person, it couldn't
rlm@0: be.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Why did you break with him?" I asked surprised.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Because, in the end we didn't match. In the beginning all was right,
rlm@0: but as the time passed, we started to have fights. He was jealous of
rlm@0: any person that approached me. I tried to make him have trust in
rlm@0: others, but I failed. As we were growing we'd changed, he was different
rlm@0: as I was. After a some time, we decided to break the relationship and
rlm@0: he returned to Hong Kong." she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "But you loved him..." I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, I did. But not now. I learned one thing: a relationship, any
rlm@0: relationship must be built between the parts. I believed that I fell in
rlm@0: love with him, but I realized that only I had a crush on him. I waited
rlm@0: five years for him, but I never thought if I really loved him. I didn't
rlm@0: want to lose him because what Eriol told me, I didn't have any idea
rlm@0: that he loved me. I saw him as friend and didn't want to lose him, then
rlm@0: I realized that I was in love with him, but I never thought if they
rlm@0: were my real feelings. How could I be so blind? I was blind of love but
rlm@0: I never thought that we changed during these five years of waiting.
rlm@0: With the fights I started to wonder if I really loved him or didn't. In
rlm@0: the end I realized that I wasn't in love with him" she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I see..."
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I broke with my friends too..." she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "What?" I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, I broke because I didn't want to be popular. Because I didn't
rlm@0: want to follow their advice anymore, because of that advice... I almost
rlm@0: lost you." she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I don't care about what will happen to me. Only seeing you happy it's
rlm@0: enough for me" I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I know that..." she said as she stood up and came to me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I looked at her, she was crying softly and smiling at me. I extended my
rlm@0: hand but I stopped.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "What's happened?" she said quietly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "It's just... you said that you didn't want me touch you, remember?" I
rlm@0: said sadly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She took hold of my hand and laid it in her cheek.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I want you to touch me, to see me... I was so stupid saying that, I
rlm@0: almost destroyed our friendship. You were there when I needed
rlm@0: something, even you were there when I said that I didn't need
rlm@0: something. You were always worried for me. I'd changed in these almost
rlm@0: six years. I never hated you, just I couldn't understand that you were
rlm@0: in love with me..." she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "How do you know that I'm in love with you, couldn't it be another
rlm@0: girl?" I asked her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You said that you wanted your special person happy, didn't you? I
rlm@0: realized that I'm that person, for what you said and what father said
rlm@0: to me when you left Japan" she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Are you angry with me for loving you?" I asked her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "No..." she said and made me stand up.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She embraced me, I tried not to embrace her but I failed. My arms went
rlm@0: around her and we embraced tightly. She rested her head in my shoulder.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Welcome back, Tomoyo-chan" she said crying softly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Thanks, Sakura-chan" I said crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: *******
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I will never forget that day... when we met again.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: After that day, we did many things together as before. It was a restart
rlm@0: of our friendship, she was fine with me, even knowing that I still
rlm@0: loved her. One day she called asking me if I could go to her house. I
rlm@0: agreed and I went to her house, she was waiting for me. She said that
rlm@0: wanted me to go out with her. In other words, she wanted a date with
rlm@0: me. I was surprised, but she erased my doubts kissing me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: From the day we met again until the day that she kissed me four years
rlm@0: passed. And two more years of going out.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: Without knowing it, we built a loving relationship between us.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: ******
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I was looking to the stars in the sky when I felt her arms around my
rlm@0: waist.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "What are you thinking Tomoyo-chan?" she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Remembering what happened between us all these years, from the first
rlm@0: day than I met you, eighteen years ago" I said still looking at the
rlm@0: stars.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: She turned my head and I was looking at her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I never meant to hurt you, but I did. But I promise you that I will
rlm@0: never hurt you again. I don't know if I will be able to heal the pain I
rlm@0: caused you" she said sadly.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "We have to live with pain, every person has a type of pain, and pain
rlm@0: will be present in every person of this world. Things would be
rlm@0: different if pain doesn't exist, but it does exist. But if two people
rlm@0: meet each other, they could be able to heal the pain they have." I
rlm@0: said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I caressed her hair, it was smooth.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I love you Tomoyo-chan. You're my true number one person" she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I love you too, Sakura-chan. You are always my number one person. I
rlm@0: don't mind my pain, because in the end I have you, and we will be able
rlm@0: to heal our pain" I said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "It's true" she said.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: We kissed each other and went to sleep.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: ******
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I wake up and I look to her, she is sleeping nicely. Then I remember
rlm@0: what the old woman told me before, that the real reward will come from
rlm@0: someone unexpected. I never thought that Sakura-chan falling in love
rlm@0: with me would be the real reward for all I did. I just thought that I
rlm@0: would be alone for the rest of my life. But it seems that is not.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I love you, Sakura-chan" I whisper.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I know. I really love you too, Tomoyo-chan" she says opening her eyes.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Are you awake?" I ask smiling to her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I was awake, I was only imitating that I was sleeping." she says
rlm@0: smiling.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I smile to her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Tomoyo-chan, I want to know one thing: Will you stay with me forever?"
rlm@0: she asks me.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Of course I will. You are my reason to live, I promise I will make you
rlm@0: happy" I say to her.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You know what? One thing will make me happy" she says.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "What thing?" I ask.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "You marrying me, someday" she says blushing.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: I open my eyes and I feel tears coming down my cheeks.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Are you serious?" I say crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "Yes, I'm serious. But you don't have to give me an answer right now,
rlm@0: but until that day come; promise me that you will stay with me" she
rlm@0: says taking my head between her soft hands.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I promise, I promise" I say still crying.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: We kiss each other and leave the bed, we look to the stars.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: We embrace tightly knowing that there is a path in front of us that
rlm@0: will lead us to the happiness.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "We will be together forever" she says happily.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I know..." I say.
rlm@0: 
rlm@0: "I know we will be together forever..." I say before kissing her.
