Notes: Sorry I've been dead. Life and whatnot. This is my contribution to...um...the world? Not AU. Picks up from the moment Tomoyo goes away.
Flow--A Carcaptor Sakura Fanfiction

Part One: End To Begin
The cellphone closed quietly, and she clutched it to her breast as if it were her last lifeline. She'd closed it slowly on purpose, and her eyes remained shut for a moment, burning that voice into her memory with all of her will.
She remained a statue in the crowd for long moments, long, dark hair fluttering gently as travellers hurried by, a picturesque image that almost seemed to fade out of view. When Tomoyo opened her eyes, her smile became more gentle, more tender.
Blue eyes gazed at the cellphone for a moment longer before she began to walk, slowly, home. She took in the laughing, crying, shouting, whispering, talking people of Tomoeda, and smiled at those who recognized her and those who didn't.
She'd made the decision long before this. Before all of it had happened, before all the magic had come, back when she and Sakura had been two ordinary girls, she had hoped that there was a chance she wouldn't need to. Tomoyo laughed, quietly, without a trace of bitterness in her voice.
Sakura was happy, now. Tomoyo knew she was. She knew Sakura better then anyone else, after all. It was something she didn't need to think much about to know. And she had thought about this, long and hard.
And it was time for her to leave. With all of the past tied up within her, where she could look at it fondly. Her existance wasn't necessary here any longer. So she would have to go exist elsewhere, where she wouldn't be existing so much as being.
There was only a slight tug of worry. Sakura had asked her to sew her wedding dress, when they were older.
Tomoyo decided that she could send the dress to Ieran-sama. The woman would find a discreet way to suggest using it, and she would have fulfilled her promise.
Home loomed before her. Although it wasn't really home any longer. Or it wouldn't be.
The heiress laughed quietly, before turning back to the street, and speaking softly.
"Goodbye, Sakura-chan."

Notes: Not quite sure what section to put this in. Not sure if Sakura will show up. She just might. -laughs- Well, whatever. I have to go upload the rest I have done.
