"Mirror"

Don't go away, please, don't leave.
It was a rainy night, and Sakura was sitting on a bench at the park.
He walked away, his cold back turned on her.
"I never loved you. You were such a fool to believe my lies." He said, his voice cold and mocking.
Sakura awoke with a start, her face stained with tears and sweat. She has been restless for the past months already and this night is no difference. 'It's that stupid dram again.' She sighed. Meilin was still fast asleep. They chose to sleep together in the mini-theatre. Syaoran was in the living room. Tomoyo, of course is in her bedroom.
Sakura glanced at the clock, it was only 3 in the morning.
She went out of the mini-theatre and found a restless Syaoran, mumbling in his sleep.

'Syaoran.'
A girl with waist-length, brownish-black hair stood under the Sakura trees. She was smiling warmly at the boy with golden-brown locks. Her bluish-gray eyes, soft and warm looked at his cold, brown ones.
'I love you, Syaoran!' she said again, in her sweet melodious voice.
Syaoran smiled and hugged the girl.
They sat on the grass, and the girl's head on his lap. When Syaoran looked at the girl he love, he found her in her lifeless form, bleeding to death.
"You let me die, Syaoran." Her eyes were cold and lifeless, piercing his very soul with icicles.
"Syaoran-kun." a voice called to him.
'her voice is warm' Syaoran thought.
A warm hand held his arms.
"Syaoran-kun."
His eyes fluttered open, and saw Sakura kneeling beside him with a worried expression on her face. "Daijobu? (Are you alright?)" she asked. Syaoran nodded. "Just a bad dream." He replied. He had just realized that his breathing was sharp and rapid. He sat up and asked Sakura why she was still awake.
"I was, I mean, I couldn't sleep." Sakura replied, examining the floor with all interest.
Syaoran smiled. "Sakura-san." The girl looked around and saw him smiling, his first genuine smile. "I know you're nearly as half troubled as I am. If you would wish to tell me what is bothering you, I'll be happy to listen." He continued, looking at this living replica of his beloved person.
Sakura's eyes glazed with tears. "I can't seem to forget him."
"Don't worry, you will soon get over him." He told the girl. 'I'm one to talk, I couldn't even take a moment of peace without her on my mind.' He thought, punishing himself slightly. A hand squeezed his own. "Thanks. I hope you finally move on as well."
His eyes widened. "How did you--?" he began.
"I can just tell. Syaoran-kun." Sakura stood up and kissed Syaoran on the cheek. He could feel the portion where her lips touched it burning. "Thanks, Sakura-chan."
Sakura went back to their "room" and just as Syaoran was about to fall asleep again, Tomoyo went out of her room, giggling. She was looking at him in a nasty way that suggested she knew what happened.
"Have you been spying on us?" Syaoran hissed.
Tomoyo showed the video camera she held. "I was just planning to go out in the balcony and take a video of the sun rising, when I heard you two, so I did a bit of snooping around and just videotaped everything." She giggled. "Gomen." She added.
Syaoran shook his head. "It's fine, as long as you wont show anyone that stupidity." He replied, now grinning.
The two went out in the balcony. The breeze is chilly and moist, almost gloomy. She took a video of the scenery, the tall trees swaying with the wind and the sky filled with stars. The crescent moon glowing, as though smiling at whoever sees it.
"You and Sakura have the same longing and emptiness. I wish the two of you will find peace and comfort soon." Tomoyo whispered. "You're emptiness will soon be filled. I hope my Sakura-chan could finally get over him." She continued.
"You really do care about Sakura-san don't you?" Syaoran stated.
"That's because Sakura-chan is Sakura-chan. I only want her happiness, 'coz seeing her happy makes me happy. When she was sad, and I couldn't cheer her up, I feel sad as well." Tomoyo replied. "Thank you, Li-kun. You made her happier." She smiled. Syaoran shook his head. "I should thank her." He replied.
"The moon and star found warmth in each other, making the moon radiant, and star contented. Soon, when the moon is full and ready, the star will shine brightly, giving light and warmth to the moon who have been living in the darkness for such a long time. But the moon will continue reminiscing his darkness and the star will grow tired. Her light will disappear, and the moon will search for the warmth and comfort again." She whispered under her breath, not knowing what she just said.
When she came back to her senses, she found Li staring at her, open-mouthed.
"What happened, Li-kun?" she asked, apparently left without a clue as to what she just said. Li decided to not say anything. "Nothing." He replied, smiling weakly. 'Was it my imagination? Or did Daidoji-san just made a prophecy back then?'
The two decided to go back inside, as Tomoyo shut the door behind her, Syaoran pondered over what he had just heard. "This would take me nowhere." He muttered. He fell back asleep as he closed his eyes. Outside, on the dark sky, a shooting star fell.
"I wish she would be happy."
"Hope he would finally be happy."

7:00 o'clock in the morning
The four were having breakfast at the garden. Sakura and Meilin went running around, talking and sharing stories animatedly, occasionally stopping to try and catch a butterfly, or to pick a flower they couldn't resist. Tomoyo and Syaoran, however, sat on the table, watching the two energetic girls play around.
"You really are a nice person, Syaoran-kun." Tomoyo giggled, watching Syaoran's tender gaze at the two girls. The boy looked startled at the use of his first name, but recovered. "What is that nonsense, Tomoyo-san?" he replied, blushing madly at the praise. Tomoyo giggled even more.
"Kawaii! Syaoran-kun, blushing and acting tough when someone told himhe is a nice guy." She grinned evilly.
"Tomoyo-san," he paused, not knowing how to tell her. "What is it?" the girl replied. "Uhm, did it ever occur to you that you could… I dunno, predict the future?" he blurted the last 5 words faster than he intended. Tomoyo was taken aback, but smiled. "Yes, Syaoran-kun, I certainly could. Well, my other self could." She whispered, leaning in closer. "Other self?" he replied, confused. Tomoyo nodded, smiling serenely.
"You'll know it someday." She smiled. 'When he has returned.' She added to herself, sighing inside.
