An Acquaintance of Lost Love



Sakura pulled her bangs away from her face as the soft autumn breeze greeted her. It was a day that she would never forget. 10 years ago, a certain boy broke her faithful heart and moved back to his native country, and just today she had met him again. She stopped and perched down near a fountain and looked down upon her reflection in the rippled water. She let out a long and muffled sigh.

"10 years… 10 whole years, I have waited for him..", she thought painfully, " now he comes back.. Why not back then?"

"Sakura?" said a voice.

"Hoe?" Sakura said in an excited way.

Sakura looked up to find her loyal and best friend, Tomoyo, beside her. Tomoyo's long wavy hair swayed as she sat down next to Sakura near the fountain.

"Is there something that I should know?" asked Tomoyo curiously.

"…No, why do you ask?", answered Sakura.

Tomoyo smiled, "Because you are three hours late! Do you have a reason?"

Sakura laughed as her friend reminded her of what she forgot.

"Gomen, Tomoyo, for leaving you here for many hours. There was something that got in the way when I came here. Do you mind if I told you?"

"Sure! I don't mind. Wait, can you please hold?" Tomoyo got out her video camera and popped in a fresh, new tape as Sakura looked at her.

" ^_^; Tomoyo, what are you doing?" staggered Sakura as she spoke.

"I am taping you of course! This story must be very long and interesting! Besides, it has been a while since I taped you doing something!" responded Tomoyo.

Sakura was fondly used to this, many years ago, Tomoyo taped Sakura all the time when she was capturing the Clow Cards.

"Ok, I guess I am already used to this, anyways." Sakura answered.

Sakura began to speak of what happened early in the day.
