"Mañana"
Sakura looked through her window, she sighed sadly; she was nineteen years
old; she was supposed to be happy but she wasn't. She remembered that she
waited five years for him, when she was 11.
After they met again, she said that they'd be together forever, but it all
ended in nothing; they did many things together but about a year and half
later, they broke up, even though they tried to make their best efforts to
fix the relationship, it was all over.
After that he returned to Hong Kong; they just said goodbye to each other in
the airport, and then he left. She didn't know what to do; she wandered
alone that day, and went to King Penguin Park; she just sat in one of the
swings, with head bowed and tears falling onto her cheeks. She lost track of
time and it was night, the cold wind blew against her body, she felt cold
but didn't care about that.
She didn't notice that somebody was looking for her; she lifted her head to
see a girl the same age as her, with dark long hair and blue eyes. Tomoyo
was desperately looking for Sakura; she received a call from Sakura's
father, Fujitaka, he told her that Sakura never returned to her home after
she went to do something. Then Tomoyo left her house and looked in every
place where Sakura could be.
Tomoyo saw Sakura sitting on the swing, and ran to her but she stopped a few
meters from her. Tomoyo had a clue about what happened with her. She came
closer and put her coat on Sakura. After that she just stood there waiting
for Sakura to respond.
Sakura clutched the coat as she felt the cold and the understanding look of
her friend. Suddenly she stood up and ran to Tomoyo, Tomoyo was surprised
but she caught Sakura and put her arms around her. Sakura started to cry,
wishing that her friend wouldn't leave her alone.
Tomoyo never left her.
Sakura looked at her nightstand that had a picture of her and Tomoyo; before
there was a picture of her and him. After that day, Tomoyo took care of her,
sometimes she stayed in Sakura's house for weeks; Sakura was so hurt and
Tomoyo tried her best to cheer her up. She didn't push Sakura to tell her
what happened, but after a few months Sakura told her that she broke up with
him. Sakura just told that she didn't understand why it happened, but she
felt that it was better to end the relationship before going in more deeply.
Tomoyo understood everything but inside of herself she was blaming herself,
she pushed Sakura and Syaoran into the relationship, she knew that Syaoran
loved her and that she didn't have a chance to tell Sakura how she felt about
her. She said that she'd be happy as Sakura would be happy. But now it seems
that she made a mistake. For two weeks she called to Hong Kong searching for
him; when she finally got him, he said coldly that all was over and he had a
new girlfriend now; the only thing he said before finishing the call was that
Tomoyo would take care of Sakura, and then silence...
In a few months Sakura was better, she finally broke the bond to him; she
thought that she would be alone, but Tomoyo was there for her, her father
and brother too. With them she never felt alone, she returned to her normal
state but she knew that something was different, her heart would never be the
same.
She looked at the photo, she and Tomoyo were smiling during the college's
festival of the past year. She knew that she would never return what Tomoyo
did for her. She wanted to do something for her: But Tomoyo said that was
okay, she wanted Sakura better, that was enough. Sakura and Tomoyo did many
things together; Sakura even offered Tomoyo to stay a month in her house,
she was accustomed to have Tomoyo in her house after the break with him; she
pleaded to Tomoyo so much and Tomoyo couldn't say no to her, so she stayed
in Sakura's house for a month. Sakura was happy and that month was
memorable; sometimes she wanted to repeat that again, but she knew that is
impossible now.
Due to her study profile, which was better in college than school, she
received an invitation to an institute in America. She didn't know what to
do; it's very interesting but she knew that if she goes to America, maybe
she will never return to Japan.
Could she leave her family and especially Tomoyo behind? Her heart ached at
the sound of her best friend's name; she was happy to have Tomoyo at her
side. But Sakura returned to her sad state; she was covering her pain, the
pain is not of him, it was a special pain. Sakura thought about how to make
a decision and finally she decided on what to do.
She went to pick the phone and dialed Tomoyo's number and waited for a
response. Sonomi picked up the phone.
"Hello, Daidouji residence. Sonomi speaking."
"Sonomi-san? It's me Sakura."
"Hi!!! How are you dear?" Sonomi said.
"Fine. Tomoyo-chan is there?" Sakura asked.
"No, she's not home right now," Sonomi said.
"Could you tell her that I will go to America for me, please?" Sakura said
quietly.
"Yes, sure," Sonomi said surprised.
"Thanks," Sakura said and hung up the phone.
After that she collapsed on the floor and started to cry.
"Please forgive me, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said crying.
*****
When Tomoyo returned to her home, her mother told her of Sakura's decision.
She understood and went to her room, she sat on the floor and remembered.
******
"What is it, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked
"It's an envelope. The principal gave it to me," Sakura said as she held the
envelope.
"Open it," Tomoyo said.
Sakura opened the envelope and read the contents.
"It's an invitation...for study in America," Sakura said quietly.
Tomoyo was shocked but she hided it, and congratulated her best friend.
"Congratulations!!! You will go to America!!!" Tomoyo said happily
Sakura sweatdropped and looked at her friend.
"I don't know Tomoyo-chan, I like to stay here. Stay here with you..."
Sakura said.
Tomoyo blushed a little.
"That's nice of you. But at least try to consider it, okay?" Tomoyo said.
"But, why me? You are better than me," Sakura said.
"But my profile lowered, many things did that, I don't mind," Tomoyo said
as she put her hands on Sakura's shoulders.
"Sakura, maybe this is the only chance that you have to start a new life.
You have a path in front of you that surely will lead you to the true
happiness. We could write letters, make phone calls, we will be still
friends through the distance. Just think about it, okay?" Tomoyo said.
"I will try," Sakura said.
"It's okay. Let's go to the class," Tomoyo said and they leave.
*****
Tomoyo finished reminiscing and the tears started to fall.
"Sakura-chan, I lowered my profile on purpose. I knew I must be the one who
would receive the invitation, but I couldn't leave you. I just wanted you
happy; for that I pushed you to confess your love for Syaoran. You waited
for five years, but the time you two were together didn't reach those five
years," Tomoyo said.
She went to her bed and fell over it.
"How could I leave you in your state? I am the only responsible for your
sadness. I'm there for whatever you need. I knew from the beginning that you
would never return my feelings, but yet I want you to be happy. But I know
when you leave...you will never return. The same thing happened when we were
ten years old; you found out about your feelings for him, and I knew that it
was all over. I can only stay on as a friend, not something more. For me the
dream of you loving me will never become true. Now you'll leave and then the
memories will become nothing, you'll forget...but I don't want to forget
you. You're my reason to live, you are the one who will leave from me, not
me from you. Finally the real day will come, the day that you don't love me
anymore."
Tomoyo started to cry.
"I will understand. I understand everything about you, because I love you,
Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said crying.
******
The next day Tomoyo arrived to join the college's festival. She wanted to
sing a song, from there she was looking for a song that would serve her
purposes.
Sakura looked at her with sadness.
"Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura said nervously
"Hi!! Mom told me that you will go to America; that's good," Tomoyo said.
"I said yes, but..." Sakura said quietly.
"Sakura-chan, are you regretting your decision?" Tomoyo asked, still smiling.
"I'm not sure. I would like to go, but at the same time I don't want to. I
want to stay here, with father, my brother, you..." Sakura said looking
directly at Tomoyo.
"Sakura-chan, I told you before. Don't bother about me, we will be still
friends through the distance..." Tomoyo said but inside her she knew the
end of this.
"Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura said.
"At least you will be at the school's festival, right?" Tomoyo asked as she
looked for the lyrics of the song.
"Yes, I want to see you singing" Sakura said.
"Daidouji-san, could you go with me? There are things you must set for the
festival," said a girl.
"Sure, I will see you later, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said and left.
Sakura saw Tomoyo leaving and thought.
"I was hoping that you would give me a reason to stay," Sakura said and the
tears started to fall.
*****
In the followings days, Sakura couldn't see Tomoyo. Tomoyo was busy learning
the lyrics of the song she had chosen. Sakura didn't know what song Tomoyo
would sing, Tomoyo only said that the song touched her heart.
Sakura was packing her luggage for the trip; she finally decided go to
America. Her father noticed that and went to talk with her.
"You're making a mistake, Sakura," Fujitaka said
"I've made mistakes before, one more won't change anything," Sakura said.
"It's one thing to go to any place if you really want from your heart. But
you don't. You're doing this because you want to escape from pain again,"
Fujitaka said with concern in his eyes.
"Yes, I'm doing this because I don't want to suffer. When he left me, I
thought that all was over, but I started again with my life. But now it
seems that all will be over again," Sakura said, almost crying.
"If you don't try, how you know what will happen? Maybe tomorrow's festival
will be the last chance that you will have. I know the true reason of your
escape, but try. Maybe you're right but try," Fujitaka said putting his hand
on Sakura's shoulder.
"I will try... Thanks, Father" Sakura said crying,
"After tomorrow you'll go to America; the last chance is tomorrow. Don't
make a mistake that will lead you to suffer," Fujitaka said as he comforted
her.
"I will," Sakura said still crying.
******
The next day at the college's festival, everyone was enjoying the things the
festival had. Sakura was there looking for her friend, and enjoyed herself;
she was decided to give a try. She looked for the events chart.
"I have still time to see the other events, before seeing Tomoyo," Sakura
said.
After a time, Sakura looked her watch and she realized that she was late.
"Hoe!!! I'm late!!!" Sakura said before going to the auditorium.
In the auditorium Sakura looked in every place for an empty seat, when a
voice called her.
"Sakura!"
Sakura turned to see Yukito and her brother calling for her. She went where
they were.
"Hi. Onii-chan. Yukito-san," Sakura said, smiling
"Tomoyo told us that you could have this seat," Yukito said pointing the seat.
"Oh, Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura thought to herself
"Thanks," Sakura said to them.
"Ah, here; this for you. It's the lyrics of the song Tomoyo will sing and
the translation, but don't read it until the end of song, all right?" Touya
said as he gave the paper to Sakura.
"Yes. Thanks," Sakura said as she sat.
"We will go to our seats, the show is going to start," Yukito said and they
left.
Sakura looked at the stage when the lights went off, and the announcer
appeared in front of them.
"First of all, it's an honor starting this show here in our college, many
students will show us their talents, the only thing I will say is I hope
all of you like the effort of the ones whom did this. Now, let the show
begin," the announcer said as he left.
The show started and many students showed their talents to the people there.
Sakura waited to see Tomoyo appear; after two hours the announcer appeared
and said:
"Ladies and gentleman, this is the end of this show, and of course a last
performance will happen. For this, a student of this college will sing for
us a song that she has selected. We have the honor to the present one of our
best students. Ladies and gentleman, Daidouji Tomoyo," the announcer
finished as Tomoyo walked on stage.
Sakura couldn't believe that Tomoyo was so beautiful; she didn't have the
words to describe her best friend. She was wearing a special dress that made
her an angel.
Tomoyo picked up the microphone up and began to speak.
"It's an honor for me to see all of you in this auditorium. This song is
played in a foreign language, that's why all of you have the lyrics and the
translation, so all of you can understand it. I want to dedicate this song
to someone who is very special to me; that person is the best thing that
ever happened to me. I just hope that person will like my performance,"
Tomoyo said as she was looking at Sakura.
Sakura looked at Tomoyo; Tomoyo's look was different, it seemed that Tomoyo
was trying to tell her something. Tomoyo smiled at Sakura and the music
began to play.
The first notes of the music gave the sensation that the song would be sad
in certain meaning, Tomoyo clutched the microphone tightly and began to
sing...
Que triste es saber que todo terminó
Que triste es decirle a un amor adiós
Si tú me comprendieras no te irías de mí
Lo que yo más quería es que fueras feliz
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque tú te irás, y no volverás ya jamás a mi lado
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque el sueno de amor que lidiamos tú y yo ahora se ha despertado
Ya no quiero pedirte que te quedes más
Ni quiero preguntarte para adonde vas
Ya se que tu has venido a decirme adiós
Que tengas buena suerte, hasta nunca amor
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque tú te irás, y no volverás ya jamás a mi lado
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque el sueño de amor que lidiamos tú y yo ahora lo has despertado.
At the song's end all in the auditorium stood up to give Tomoyo a standing
ovation. Tomoyo just smiled and a tear fell onto her cheek; she bowed
before the auditorium and then she left the stage.
Sakura could feel her heart beating so fast that it was almost set to explode;
she looked to the paper and read it. After she read the translation she
quickly left the auditorium and looked for her best friend with tears in her
eyes.
After minutes of searching she found Tomoyo leaning back on a tree, crying.
"Tomoyo-chan!!!" Sakura said.
Sakura went where Tomoyo was. She saw her best friend crying and smiling.
"Did you like it?" Tomoyo asked crying.
"Yes...I loved it" Sakura said crying.
"But, did you understand the true meaning of the words?" Tomoyo said.
"Yes, I did. Is this what you were going to tell when we're older?" Sakura
said.
"Yes. I thought when I saw you with him, that didn't make sense anymore. I've
been in love with you since I met you for the first time," Tomoyo said, crying.
Sakura looked at her best friend; she saw that Tomoyo's dress was getting dirty.
"Your dress. It will become dirty," Sakura said.
"I can make another dress like this. I can make thousands of dresses. But I
can't make you love me as I want." Tomoyo said crying.
Sakura hold Tomoyo's face with both hands, she started to cry again.
"Tomoyo-chan, why?" Sakura asked.
"Because I want to see you happy. I pushed you together with Syaoran, and
you were sad after the break-up. I blamed myself for letting that happen. You
will never return my feelings. I thought that your going to America would be
the best for you. Tomorrow you'll leave. I was scared to be rejected when I
told you my feelings, but I wanted to tell you, because of the trip. I wanted
to show my true feelings for you through the song, because this song expresses
what I really feel for you," Tomoyo finished.
"Oh, Tomoyo-chan. You gave me the reason I most wanted to hear. The reason
that would make me forget about the trip. I thought that my destiny was to
be alone, but you were there. You made me embrace life again, with your
grace, your smile and your beauty. Sometimes I wished to be like you, but
you're different. You're a guardian angel...my guardian angel. And now
more than ever I want to be your guardian angel," Sakura said, crying,
smiling.
"I don't understand, Sakura," Tomoyo said.
"Tomoyo-chan, I'm in love with you. I realized that I love you so much than
when I loved him. You're my reason to live now. I was scared too, scared that
if I told you my true feelings you would reject me. I couldn't support to be
heartbroken again, the idea of losing you would make me feel dead. The trip
only serves to make an escape from pain of not being with you as I wanted. But
you loved me since we were children. You thought you would never win my
heart; you won it. I don't love you because I chose you on impulse of cover
my feelings from the pain. I love you for what you are. I love you, Tomoyo-
chan," Sakura finished her confession and looked to her best friend.
Tomoyo cried again; she thought that her dream would never become true, but
now it was true.
"I love you, Sakura-chan. Since I was a child I loved you and I love you more
than ever," Tomoyo said crying.
Sakura lifted Tomoyo up. She leaned to Tomoyo and kissed her on the lips.
Tomoyo closed her eyes and let Sakura have her in her arms, after a long
time they broke the kiss.
"Tomoyo-chan, I want you to stay with me tonight, I want you to stay with me
every day of my life. I want to be your soul mate. And I will never leave
you," Sakura said before kissing Tomoyo again.
They kissed again for a long time, after that they looked to the stars.
"Tomoyo-chan, we don't have to wait until 'mañana' to start a life together,"
Sakura said, taking Tomoyo's hand in her own.
"Yes, we don't, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said happily.
"Our life together starts right now," Sakura said smiling.
Tomoyo embraced Sakura; she was happy to have Sakura in her arms. Sakura
embraced her too for a long time.
"Come on, let's have a photo," Sakura said.
They left the tree and went to the festival looking for the photo stand;
after getting the photo, they went to Sakura's house. Tomoyo helped Sakura
to undo her luggage for the trip; after that they lay on the bed holding
hands.
"What are you thinking, Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked.
"A lot of things, but especially about this new day," Tomoyo said.
"About what?" Sakura asked.
"What path is in front of us, now you that won't go to America?" Tomoyo said.
"Tomoyo-chan, whatever path there is in front of us, I will take it with
you, together," Sakura said as she cuddled next to Tomoyo.
"Yes, I love you, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said.
"I love you too, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said.
They kissed again and looked through the window; the stars were shining and
they both smiled to each other.
Tomoyo was the first to fall asleep. Sakura smiled and carefully replaced
the photo for the new one in her nightstand; after that she went to the bed,
she wrapped one arm around her love's waist.
"I love you, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said before falling to sleep.
Tomoyo smiled sleepily.
Owari (The End)

Author's notes:
1º What is mañana? Mañana is the Spanish word for "tomorrow".
I'm glad to finish this story, the idea about using this song for a Tomoyo x
Sakura story was very interesting, the song is very special to me.
Well, here below is the translation of the lyrics of the song, this time I
made a special effort to translate it, my English is no good, I still have
grammatical errors but I'm willing to be better with practice. Here is the
song.
"Tomorrow"
It's sad to know that all is over.
It's sad to say a love farewell.
If you understand me you wouldn't leave from me
The most I wanted is that you were happy
And tomorrow, tomorrow, it will be a very sad day.
Because you will leave, and you will never return to my side nevermore.
And tomorrow, tomorrow it will be a very sad day
Because the dream of love that you and me dealt, now it's awakened up
I don't want to request you to stay more
Neither I want to ask where you will go
I know that you have come to tell me farewell
Have you good luck, farewell love.
And tomorrow, tomorrow, it will be a very sad day
Because you will leave, and you will never return to my side nevermore
And tomorrow, tomorrow it will be a very sad day
Because the dream of love that you and me dealt, now you've awakened up.
Well, I hope you can understand it, it's not the ultimate translation, but a
standard. Now all of you know why Tomoyo picked this one.
Well, that's all for now.
I hope you liked this story.
Until the next one!!!!
song and I don't know if is called a songfic or don't. If anyone know what
type of story is, songfic or don't, please let me know, I will thank it. I
will use a song that I like very much and is very special to me. I hope that
you will like it, and I will see you at the end of the story.

sing a song, from there she was looking for a song that would serve her
purposes.
Sakura looked at her with sadness.
"Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura said nervously
"Hi!! Mom told me that you will go to America; that's good," Tomoyo said.
"I said yes, but..." Sakura said quietly.
"Sakura-chan, are you regretting your decision?" Tomoyo asked, still smiling.
"I'm not sure. I would like to go, but at the same time I don't want to. I
want to stay here, with father, my brother, you..." Sakura said looking
directly at Tomoyo.
"Sakura-chan, I told you before. Don't bother about me, we will be still
friends through the distance..." Tomoyo said but inside her she knew the
end of this.
"Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura said.
"At least you will be at the school's festival, right?" Tomoyo asked as she
looked for the lyrics of the song.
"Yes, I want to see you singing" Sakura said.
"Daidouji-san, could you go with me? There are things you must set for the
festival," said a girl.
"Sure, I will see you later, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said and left.
Sakura saw Tomoyo leaving and thought.
"I was hoping that you would give me a reason to stay," Sakura said and the
tears started to fall.
*****
In the followings days, Sakura couldn't see Tomoyo. Tomoyo was busy learning
the lyrics of the song she had chosen. Sakura didn't know what song Tomoyo
would sing, Tomoyo only said that the song touched her heart.
Sakura was packing her luggage for the trip; she finally decided go to
America. Her father noticed that and went to talk with her.
"You're making a mistake, Sakura," Fujitaka said
"I've made mistakes before, one more won't change anything," Sakura said.
"It's one thing to go to any place if you really want from your heart. But
you don't. You're doing this because you want to escape from pain again,"
Fujitaka said with concern in his eyes.
"Yes, I'm doing this because I don't want to suffer. When he left me, I
thought that all was over, but I started again with my life. But now it
seems that all will be over again," Sakura said, almost crying.
"If you don't try, how you know what will happen? Maybe tomorrow's festival
will be the last chance that you will have. I know the true reason of your
escape, but try. Maybe you're right but try," Fujitaka said putting his hand
on Sakura's shoulder.
"I will try... Thanks, Father" Sakura said crying,
"After tomorrow you'll go to America; the last chance is tomorrow. Don't
make a mistake that will lead you to suffer," Fujitaka said as he comforted
her.
"I will," Sakura said still crying.

The next day at the college's festival, everyone was enjoying the things the
festival had. Sakura was there looking for her friend, and enjoyed herself;
she was decided to give a try. She looked for the events chart.
"I have still time to see the other events, before seeing Tomoyo," Sakura
said.
After a time, Sakura looked her watch and she realized that she was late.
"Hoe!!! I'm late!!!" Sakura said before going to the auditorium.
In the auditorium Sakura looked in every place for an empty seat, when a
voice called her.
"Sakura!"
Sakura turned to see Yukito and her brother calling for her. She went where
they were.
"Hi. Onii-chan. Yukito-san," Sakura said, smiling
"Tomoyo told us that you could have this seat," Yukito said pointing the seat.
"Oh, Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura thought to herself
"Thanks," Sakura said to them.
"Ah, here; this for you. It's the lyrics of the song Tomoyo will sing and
the translation, but don't read it until the end of song, all right?" Touya
said as he gave the paper to Sakura.
"Yes. Thanks," Sakura said as she sat.
"We will go to our seats, the show is going to start," Yukito said and they
left.
Sakura looked at the stage when the lights went off, and the announcer
appeared in front of them.
"First of all, it's an honor starting this show here in our college, many
students will show us their talents, the only thing I will say is I hope
all of you like the effort of the ones whom did this. Now, let the show
begin," the announcer said as he left.
The show started and many students showed their talents to the people there.
Sakura waited to see Tomoyo appear; after two hours the announcer appeared
and said:
"Ladies and gentleman, this is the end of this show, and of course a last
performance will happen. For this, a student of this college will sing for
us a song that she has selected. We have the honor to the present one of our
best students. Ladies and gentleman, Daidouji Tomoyo," the announcer
finished as Tomoyo walked on stage.
Sakura couldn't believe that Tomoyo was so beautiful; she didn't have the
words to describe her best friend. She was wearing a special dress that made
her an angel.
Tomoyo picked up the microphone up and began to speak.
"It's an honor for me to see all of you in this auditorium. This song is
played in a foreign language, that's why all of you have the lyrics and the
translation, so all of you can understand it. I want to dedicate this song
to someone who is very special to me; that person is the best thing that
ever happened to me. I just hope that person will like my performance,"
Tomoyo said as she was looking at Sakura.
Sakura looked at Tomoyo; Tomoyo's look was different, it seemed that Tomoyo
was trying to tell her something. Tomoyo smiled at Sakura and the music
began to play.
The first notes of the music gave the sensation that the song would be sad
in certain meaning, Tomoyo clutched the microphone tightly and began to
sing...
Que triste es saber que todo terminó
Que triste es decirle a un amor adiós
Si tú me comprendieras no te irías de mí
Lo que yo más quería es que fueras feliz
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque tú te irás, y no volverás ya jamás a mi lado
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque el sueno de amor que lidiamos tú y yo ahora se ha despertado
Ya no quiero pedirte que te quedes más
Ni quiero preguntarte para adonde vas
Ya se que tu has venido a decirme adiós
Que tengas buena suerte, hasta nunca amor
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque tú te irás, y no volverás ya jamás a mi lado
Y mañana, mañana ya será un día muy triste
Porque el sueño de amor que lidiamos tú y yo ahora lo has despertado.
At the song's end all in the auditorium stood up to give Tomoyo a standing
ovation. Tomoyo just smiled and a tear fell onto her cheek; she bowed
before the auditorium and then she left the stage.
Sakura could feel her heart beating so fast that it was almost set to explode;
she looked to the paper and read it. After she read the translation she
quickly left the auditorium and looked for her best friend with tears in her
eyes.
After minutes of searching she found Tomoyo leaning back on a tree, crying.
"Tomoyo-chan!!!" Sakura said.
Sakura went where Tomoyo was. She saw her best friend crying and smiling.
"Did you like it?" Tomoyo asked crying.
"Yes...I loved it" Sakura said crying.
"But, did you understand the true meaning of the words?" Tomoyo said.
"Yes, I did. Is this what you were going to tell when we're older?" Sakura
said.
"Yes. I thought when I saw you with him, that didn't make sense anymore. I've
been in love with you since I met you for the first time," Tomoyo said, crying.
Sakura looked at her best friend; she saw that Tomoyo's dress was getting dirty.
"Your dress. It will become dirty," Sakura said.
"I can make another dress like this. I can make thousands of dresses. But I
can't make you love me as I want." Tomoyo said crying.
Sakura hold Tomoyo's face with both hands, she started to cry again.
"Tomoyo-chan, why?" Sakura asked.
"Because I want to see you happy. I pushed you together with Syaoran, and
you were sad after the break-up. I blamed myself for letting that happen. You
will never return my feelings. I thought that your going to America would be
the best for you. Tomorrow you'll leave. I was scared to be rejected when I
told you my feelings, but I wanted to tell you, because of the trip. I wanted
to show my true feelings for you through the song, because this song expresses
what I really feel for you," Tomoyo finished.
"Oh, Tomoyo-chan. You gave me the reason I most wanted to hear. The reason
that would make me forget about the trip. I thought that my destiny was to
be alone, but you were there. You made me embrace life again, with your
grace, your smile and your beauty. Sometimes I wished to be like you, but
you're different. You're a guardian angel...my guardian angel. And now
more than ever I want to be your guardian angel," Sakura said, crying,
smiling.
"I don't understand, Sakura," Tomoyo said.
"Tomoyo-chan, I'm in love with you. I realized that I love you so much than
when I loved him. You're my reason to live now. I was scared too, scared that
if I told you my true feelings you would reject me. I couldn't support to be
heartbroken again, the idea of losing you would make me feel dead. The trip
only serves to make an escape from pain of not being with you as I wanted. But
you loved me since we were children. You thought you would never win my
heart; you won it. I don't love you because I chose you on impulse of cover
my feelings from the pain. I love you for what you are. I love you, Tomoyo-
chan," Sakura finished her confession and looked to her best friend.
Tomoyo cried again; she thought that her dream would never become true, but
now it was true.
"I love you, Sakura-chan. Since I was a child I loved you and I love you more
than ever," Tomoyo said crying.
Sakura lifted Tomoyo up. She leaned to Tomoyo and kissed her on the lips.
Tomoyo closed her eyes and let Sakura have her in her arms, after a long
time they broke the kiss.
"Tomoyo-chan, I want you to stay with me tonight, I want you to stay with me
every day of my life. I want to be your soul mate. And I will never leave
you," Sakura said before kissing Tomoyo again.
They kissed again for a long time, after that they looked to the stars.
"Tomoyo-chan, we don't have to wait until 'mañana' to start a life together,"
Sakura said, taking Tomoyo's hand in her own.
"Yes, we don't, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said happily.
"Our life together starts right now," Sakura said smiling.
Tomoyo embraced Sakura; she was happy to have Sakura in her arms. Sakura
embraced her too for a long time.
"Come on, let's have a photo," Sakura said.
They left the tree and went to the festival looking for the photo stand;
after getting the photo, they went to Sakura's house. Tomoyo helped Sakura
to undo her luggage for the trip; after that they lay on the bed holding
hands.
"What are you thinking, Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked.
"A lot of things, but especially about this new day," Tomoyo said.
"About what?" Sakura asked.
"What path is in front of us, now you that won't go to America?" Tomoyo said.
"Tomoyo-chan, whatever path there is in front of us, I will take it with
you, together," Sakura said as she cuddled next to Tomoyo.
"Yes, I love you, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said.
"I love you too, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said.
They kissed again and looked through the window; the stars were shining and
they both smiled to each other.
Tomoyo was the first to fall asleep. Sakura smiled and carefully replaced
the photo for the new one in her nightstand; after that she went to the bed,
she wrapped one arm around her love's waist.
"I love you, Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said before falling to sleep.
Tomoyo smiled sleepily.
Owari (The End)

Author's notes:
1º What is mañana? Mañana is the Spanish word for "tomorrow".
I'm glad to finish this story, the idea about using this song for a Tomoyo x
Sakura story was very interesting, the song is very special to me.
Well, here below is the translation of the lyrics of the song, this time I
made a special effort to translate it, my English is no good, I still have
grammatical errors but I'm willing to be better with practice. Here is the
song.
"Tomorrow"
It's sad to know that all is over.
It's sad to say a love farewell.
If you understand me you wouldn't leave from me
The most I wanted is that you were happy
And tomorrow, tomorrow, it will be a very sad day.
Because you will leave, and you will never return to my side nevermore.
And tomorrow, tomorrow it will be a very sad day
Because the dream of love that you and me dealt, now it's awakened up
I don't want to request you to stay more
Neither I want to ask where you will go
I know that you have come to tell me farewell
Have you good luck, farewell love.
And tomorrow, tomorrow, it will be a very sad day
Because you will leave, and you will never return to my side nevermore
And tomorrow, tomorrow it will be a very sad day
Because the dream of love that you and me dealt, now you've awakened up.
Well, I hope you can understand it, it's not the ultimate translation, but a
standard. Now all of you know why Tomoyo picked this one.
Well, that's all for now.
I hope you liked this story.
Until the next one!!!!
