rlm@2: 	There was no feeling of joy in the dark haired girl's senses afterwards.
rlm@2: Tomoyo spent the entire evening inside her room and refused human contact
rlm@2: from anyone else in the house.  She laid down on top of her bed with her
rlm@2: head embedded in her pillow.  She began to weep as her sobs were muffled by
rlm@2: the thick cushion.  There was no way for her to understand why Sakura
rlm@2: rejected her without any clear motive.  Tomoyo couldn't stop thinking about
rlm@2: why things went wrong for her.  She lifted her head up and glanced across
rlm@2: the room at the camcorder.  She had recorded many images with it and had
rlm@2: captured many memories, but the subject of a vast majority of those
rlm@2: memories was Sakura.  Whether it was getting footage of the capture of a
rlm@2: Clow Card, or taking shots while walking through the park, Tomoyo would
rlm@2: always playback anything that had her best friend in it.  The thought of
rlm@2: Sakura use to shine a beacon of joy within Tomoyo's heart, but tonight,
rlm@2: sadness was the only feeling that rested in her heart.  Tomoyo didn't think
rlm@2: she would ever watch any of her videos again, or even use the camcorder
rlm@2: again.  The dark haired girl placed her head on her pillow and cried as
rlm@2: heartache overtook her senses.
rlm@2: >
rlm@2: >	The whole situation was still confusing for Sakura.  After spending
rlm@2: almost an entire day's time thinking about it, Sakura decided to do some
rlm@2: rollerblading to clear her head.  But gliding down the sidewalk in the
rlm@2: early afternoon didn't make any difference.  'What did she mean by it?'
rlm@2: Sakura thought to herself.  'And why did she do it?  I still don't
rlm@2: understand.'  Sakura fully understood Tomoyo's intention for writing the
rlm@2: letter, what she didn't understand was how it could be natural for Tomoyo
rlm@2: to feel that way.  'Was she just joking about it?  Hmm...no, that's
rlm@2: probably not it.  She wouldn't have done anything like that to me.  But how
rlm@2: could she say all that and mean it?'  As Sakura continued skating, her
rlm@2: thoughts went to what was actually said in Tomoyo's letter.  Sakura
rlm@2: recalled the feelings of emotion that the letter tried to convey.  She
rlm@2: didn't think much of it at first, but the more she thought about it, the
rlm@2: more she related it to all of the moments she was with Tomoyo.  She thought
rlm@2: about all of the times that Tomoyo looked up to her and gave her support
rlm@2: when she was a card captor.  She thought about the times when the two of
rlm@2: them would just hand out together.  The one thing that Sakura rememberd the
rlm@2: most about Tomoyo was the way she looked at her.  Tomoyo's eyes were always
rlm@2: full of cheerfulness and affection, and now that Sakura had read the
rlm@2: letter, she understood why Tomoyo always had that look of affection.  The
rlm@2: brown haired girl's thoughts began to effect how fast she was moving on her
rlm@2: rollerblades.  Her speed decreased until she came to a stop at a street
rlm@2: corner.  As Sakura stood motionless, she thought about how much Tomoyo
rlm@2: cared for her, about how much her heart went out to Sakura.  Then her mind
rlm@2: went back to how she treated Tomoyo the other day, the way she abandoned
rlm@2: her best friend without telling her how she felt.  She was beginning to get
rlm@2: mad at herself for reacting that way and she was starting to imagine how
rlm@2: Tomoyo was feeling about all of this.  Sakura was afraid of committing the
rlm@2: crime she hoped never to commit, breaking the feelings of her best friend.
rlm@2: Tomoyo's bright smile was something that the brown haired girl loved to see
rlm@2: and it got to her that she might not see it again.  But as guilt was making
rlm@2: its way into the girl, another feeling came in that was even stronger.  The
rlm@2: feelings that Sakurta had for Tomoyo were tremendous.  Sakura had always
rlm@2: felt that she wanted to help out her friend if she felt sad or worried.
rlm@2: Her desire to help was greater than it had ever been, even while she knew
rlm@2: that she was the cause of the problem.  It was now she realized that she
rlm@2: cared about her friend so much, that she loved her.  This new discovery
rlm@2: shocked Sakura as well as added to her confusion.  It was hard for her to
rlm@2: think that she could feel that strongly toward another girl.  There was
rlm@2: nothing that seemed logical in the situation that Sakura was in.  The brown
rlm@2: haired girl was lost in the thoughts of her mind until she heard something
rlm@2: approach.  As she looked forward to see what brought her back to reality,
rlm@2: she saw that a black car was coming down the street.  It didn't take Sakura
rlm@2: long to recognize the vehicle.  "That's Tomoyo's car," she said.  As the
rlm@2: car passed her, Sakura was able to get a good look inside.  Sakura noticed
rlm@2: the driver and Tomoyo's bodyguards and, for a brief instant, saw that
rlm@2: Tomoyo was riding along with them.  But it was the expression on Tomoyo's
rlm@2: face that got Sakura's attention.  The dark haired girl had her head hung
rlm@2: low with a lok of utter depression.  It was obvious to Sakura how her
rlm@2: friend felt as the car drove by.  Sakura watched until the vehicle was out
rlm@2: of sight.  The girl became concerned over what she had seen.  But even as
rlm@2: she felt sorry for her best friend, she cringed after seeing the results of
rlm@2: her actions firsthand.
