Allo, Minna! I finally got around to writing a new fic! It's one-sided shoujo-ai, and if you have something against that, then don't read the fic. If you don't care and are in the mood for a quick bout of depression, go right ahead! ^^ It's really short, but it gets the point across. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Card Captors. If I did, I'd be a very happy young woman, and everyone out there knows I'm not a happy person :P


Broken Reflection
Br: Rei_Firestar


Tomoyo wiped at her sore eyes, swollen and red from crying again. As much as she knew crying would never solve anything, she couldn't help but do so almost every night onto her pillow. Crying wouldn't help her. Crying would never cause her Sakura-chan to love her.

Tomoyo wasn't an idiot. She knew her Sakura-chan was in love with Syaoran, even if Syaoran didn't love her back. Syaoran loved Meiling, after all. After all of those years of being engaged to her, one would figure he'd finally fall for her. Sure, he and Sakura had gone out for awhile. Tomoyo remembered how happy her Sakura-chan had been during that time, but she also remembered how crushed Sakura had been when they broke up - how Sakura had cried to her that night, and all Tomoyo could do was hold the girl she loved in her arms while she cried over HIM. Tomoyo's heart had broken that night as well, and she knew that it'd never fully be repaired again.

Even after her heartache, though, Sakura could never really get over Syaoran. She had loved him far too long, and wasn't going to stop. More and more, Tomoyo felt as if she were becoming nothing more than a hassle to her friend and lover-from-afar, never being able to make Sakura as happy as she wished she could (or rather, as happy as Syaoran could). How often Sakura would cry over her loss, never noticing the poor girl who held Sakura so deeply in her heart.

It's not like Sakura didn't know that Tomoyo was in love with her. She would even occasionally play off of it, sometimes just to gage a reaction. Tomoyo often wondered if maybe she did it to make herself feel loved. If that were the case, Tomoyo was happy to make her Sakura-chan feel loved, because she was, and very much so.

Tomoyo looked into the mirror that hung from her wall. What she saw was nothing but a broken reflection - a one-sided love that could never be returned no matter how much she longed for it. She would always be Sakura's best friend and sister, but never a lover. No, Syaoran held that place, even if it wasn't meant to be. She prayed for her Sakura-chan's sake that she would one day get over the sorcerer and find true love that would be returned, but even then Tomoyo never cared if it were she Sakura fell for - as long as her Sakura-chan was happy. That's all she really wanted.

A telephone rang. Clearing her throat and sniffling a final time, Tomoyo picked it up and said in the most cheerful voice she could muster, "Hello, Daidouji residence, Tomoyo speaking."

"Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura's beautiful voice called over the line.

"Hi, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said as happily as she could.

"Would you like to do something today?"

"Hai, that'd be wonderful."

"Great! Meet me in the park in half an hour, okay?"

"All right."

"See ya there!" And with that, the line cut and she was gone. Tomoyo gently set the phone back on its cradle. She looked into the mirror one more time. Her eyes were pretty much back to normal. No one would ever suspect that she had been sobbing her heart out only moments before. Plastering a fake smile, Tomoyo headed downstairs and toward the park, to face again the girl who held her heart, and forced her reflection to remain forever shattered.
