~*Rain*~
Sakura Kinomoto sat in her usual desk, her normal seat. Listening to
her normal math lesson. She sighed as she looked behind her. Syaoran's
seat. She had almost forgotten that he had already left. He was
already in Hong Kong. He had left her behind.
~Why am I here, when you're there
So far away, it's not fair
To be without you, like this~
Sakura sighed sadly. It was her second week at school since he left.
'He'll return. He promised me.' Sakura thought. Still a part of her
doubted that he would keep his promise.
Tomoyo sensed the worried look on her best friend's face. 'Li-kun has
to return. Sakura's not herself without him.'
Sakura grew impatient and began to tap her pencil. 'This day is going
by so slowly without Syaoran.'
~I miss you more than you know
The nights are long, the days slow
Without the warmth of your kiss~
School would be over in a matter of minutes. She would be away from
Syaoran's desk and possibly forget about her worries. She then
remembered the bear on top of her dresser at home... The bear that
sealed the promise.. The promise that he would return...
~Wish you were back here with me
'Cause out my window
All I see is~
Sakura yawned and glanced out the window. I was raining. The bell rang
and Sakura got up.
"Look Tomoyo-chan, it's raining... again." Sakura frowned as she left
her seat.
~Rain, rain in the sky,
Everywhere I look my eyes see,
Rain, rain, fallin' down,
Cryin' as it hits the ground~
~~~~~
"I'm home!" Sakura announced as she entered her home. She sighed a
breath of relief. No one was home. The last thing she needed right
now was Touya's teasing.
Sakura ran up the steps and into her room. Kero-chan was asleep...
If she learned one thing during her days as Cardcaptor, it was to
never wake Kero while he was napping.
She sat on her bed and just stared at the bear. Syaoran made it for
her. He didn't buy it at a store, he used his own hands to make it.
He made it with her in mind.
Sakura stared out of her window at the pouring rain. "Syaoran-kun,
come back soon."
~Rain, rain in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart,
Rain, rain, falling, rain, rain
Rain, rain, only, rain rain~
Sakura couldn't believe it. She was too late telling in him her
feelings. The moment she told him, he was already boarding that
plane. He was leaving her...
~The sun is strong when you're near
But when you're gone it dissapears
Behind an ocean of blue~
She had finally noticed that it was him who made her day
bright, happy, and exciting. Without him... Days were dull. Even with
Tomoyo and her efforts to raise Sakura's spirits, Sakura knew a part
of her was missing.
~The telephone's not good enough
It can't reach out
It can't touch me like the way you do~
Sakura glanced at Kero-chan, still napping. It was nice to sleep.
Everytime Sakura fell asleep, Syaoran would be there to greet her in
her dreams... Sakura was happiest in her dreams. Her dreams,
was a place she would be sure to see Syaoran. He wouldn't leave her
while she was dreaming.
~Wish you would knock at my door
'Cause only you can stop this pouring~
Sakura heard a knock at the door. She ran down the stairs. 'Is it
possible?' She asked herself. 'Has Syaoran-kun returned?'
She looked though the window... 'It's only Tomoyo, I knew it was too
good to be true.' Normally Sakura would be excited to see her best
friend... But today she needed to see someone else... Sakura knew that
Tomoyo was here to cheer her up...
~Rain, rain in the sky,
Everywhere I look my eyes see,
Rain, rain, fallin' down,
Cryin' as it hits the ground~
"It's really raining outside, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo smiled as she walked
in. Tomoyo walked in holding a bag.
"What is the bag for?"
"Oh this?"
Sakura nodded.
"It's an outfit I made for you."
Sakura's face was full of confusion. "But... Tomoyo-chan. I'm not
capturing cards anymore, or anything of that sort for that matter."
~Rain, rain in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart~
"I know that." Tomoyo paused. "It's a rain coat. It's supposed to
be raining all week."
Sakura frowned. "The last thing I need this week is more rain."
~Rain, rain, falling, rain, rain
Rain, rain, only, rain rain~
"Sakura-chan, let's go outside... You need some fresh air, besides
I'm sure that rain coat will look so cute on you!"
Sakura smiled, "Clow cards or not, you'll never change, Tomoyo-chan!"
~Maybe I'll go outside and
Walk beneath the clouds
Pretend it's you that's watching over me~
"It's cloudy out." Sakura frowned. Both girls carried umbrellas
and wearing raincoats. "You did a really good job on these coats."
"Thank you, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo smiled. Sakura still didn't know
what was hidden in those pockets.
Sakura's raincoat consisted of pink, Sakura's favorite color. On some
parts, however, were small shades of green. 'Green,' Sakura thought
staring at her coat. 'Syaoran's color.'
~Distance is the only thing that comes between us now
Baby soon we'll be together~
The rain began to pour harder. "Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura screamed as her
umbrella was blown away. They had only walked about four feet from
Sakura's house... Not much. "I think we should find shelter at my
house!"
Tomoyo nodded. 'Maybe fresh air won't help her either... She needs
Li-kun..." Tomoyo sighed. Once again her efforts were worthless. For
the first time in her life, she had seen Sakura unhappy. Truly unhappy.
~Rain fallin' from the sky
All I do is cry and think of you
Can't dry my eyes,
Rise above the clouds
All my love is not allowed~
"Sakura-chan," Tomoyo asked as she stepped inside her friends home.
"You might want to dry your raincoat."
Sakura nodded. She began to take off her raincoat and ran into the
bathroom to dry it off.
Tomoyo called after her friend... "Sakura-chan. Becareful when you dry
the pockets.
Sakura looked confused. "Whatever you say, Tomoyo-chan."
~You're not here to share the showers
All my powers taken over
Can't find no cover~
Sakura sighed. She could hear Kero-chan flying down the stairs.
"Sakura, I'm hungry."
'I'm glad big brother isn't home.' Sakura smiled. She laughed as she
thought of how Touya would react to a talking stuffed animal.
~Taken over the rain-rain
Comin' at me life a train-train
Drivin' me insane-sane
Wanna run to the sun~
"I'm here, Kero-chan." Tomoyo smiled.
"Tomoyo, where is Sakura?"
"In the bathroom, she is drying her raincoat."
"Food! I need food!" Kero yelled. "It's really pouring outside... It
woke me up."
Tomoyo laughed. Kero could sleep for hours.
~Everywhere I look I see rain~
'I don't see what is so special about these pockets...' Sakura
wondered. The fabric looked... normal... It was a zipper pocket...
One pocket was green, the one on the left. It had a S on it...
The other side was pink, also with a S on it... Sakura wasn't quick
enough to see how much thought Tomoyo put into it. Sakura glanced out
the window... 'The rain won't stop...'
~Rain, rain in the sky,
Everywhere I look my eyes see,
Rain, rain, fallin' down~
Cryin' as it hits the ground~
Sakura screamed as she opened her jacket pocket! It was a letter
from Syaoran! This is what Tomoyo meant about the pockets!
The envelope had Syaoran's new address in the return corner,
and her name in the reciever spot... The odd thing was that it
was sent to Tomoyo's address... Sakura laughed when she noticed this,
'He's still afraid of big brother.'
~Rain, rain in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart,
Rain, rain falling, rain, rain
Rain, rain, only, rain rain~
Sakura ran outside and towards Tomoyo and Kero-chan. Kero was naturally
eating a plateful of leftover dumplings.
"Thank you, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura yelled.
"Open it." Tomoyo smiled.
"What is it?" Kero asked, still eating.
"It's a letter from Li-kun."
"Oh, the kid..." Kero's voice seemed to drift off.
~Rain, rain in the sky,
Everywhere I look my eyes see,
Rain, rain, fallin' down,
Cryin' as it hits the ground~
"Dear Sakura," Sakura started as she began to read his letter. "I
have missed you terribly this past week. I cannot believe I am away
from you... This is the last thing I have every wanted. I will continue
to send you letters though Daidouji because, as much as I hate to admit
it, I am still afraid of your brother...."
~Rain, rain in my heart,
Everyday that we're apart~
"... I hope you know that everyday I am away from you, my heart is
breaking... I will try to return to you soon. Until then I can only
hope that you will write me back. My address is written on the
envelope... I can only hope I can return soon, because I do not know
how long I will have to stay in China. Until I return, please keep me
in you heart and do not forget me..."
~Rain, rain falling, rain, rain
Rain, rain only, rain rain~
"...Love, Syaoran." Sakura finshed.
"How dramatic!" Tomoyo squealed. She took out her video camera, almost
out of nowhere. "Read it again so I can catch it on tape!
Sakura sweatdropped as she read it again.
~~~~
~Everywhere I look I see rain~
That night Sakura sat down to write Syaoran back.
'Dear Syaoran-kun,
I am missing you too. It has been raining non-stop lately... Everyday,
since you've left. I can only assume it will end soon and the sun
will return. I know you are still afraid of my brother, some things
will never change. So keep sending these letters to Tomoyo, she is
one you can trust. I will wait for you Syaoran, no matter how long
it takes... I promise you this...
Love,
Sakura'
~It'll never be the same
If you don't stop the rain~
