Author's Warning: I'm glad you decided to read chapter two of, "A promise never
broken." But.. I have a warning to my precious Tomoyo + Eriol, Syaoran + Sakura die hard fans..
As I said in chapter one, this is not a S+S fanfiction.. and well, to ease Sakura's pain of loosing
Syaoran.. she finds someone else, and that's Tomoyo.. :x I'm not telling you to read this
fanfiction so I don't want any hate mail screaming about how Tomoyo and Sakura is just not
right, or how Syaoran and Meiling will never be.. ;D This is my fanfic, remember.
I don't know Card Captor Sakura, nor CardCaptors so don't sue me.
------------------------------------
Chapter Two.
------------------------------------
Dear Syaoran,
I hope you're doing well. Life is fine back here in Tomoeda, and everyone misses you,
mostly Tomoyo and I. So, How is Meiling doing? I hope she's good, will you do me a favour and
tell her that I said 'hello'? Maybe ask her to send me a letter as well?
I've got news.. Eriol is back in Tomoeda for the next two weeks, and he seemed to be a
tad bit upset that his 'kawaii descendant' wasn't here, he told me to tell you that he wishes you the
best in Hong Kong, and he wants to know when you're coming back, so he can visit again?
I know it's been only two weeks, but I'm wondering, too.. When will you come back to
Tomoeda? Will you visit sometime?
Forever,
Sakura Kinomoto
She gently folded the paper, and set it into a envelope. She took a small break to lift her
arm up and wipe her eyes from her tears. This was hard for her, harder then she had expected.
Sakura wanted more then anything in the world to just get over him and continue her life without
Syaoran, but, unfortunately, that was just simply impossible. It was like she had one emotion
glued in her mind, and it would stay forever, no matter what she did, and that one emotion was
depression. She hated it, and she hated herself for letting Syaoran leave her? How could she be
so very foolish, she could of told him, right then and there that deep down inside her, she loved
him, that he was her whole world, and she would never ever want him to leave her.
But, there was always someone there to help her get through times like that, a welcoming
shoulder for her to cry on, and a gentle voice to help relax her--Tomoyo Daidouji. That one girl
was Sakura's best chance to get away from her current present, which was a life, minus Syaoran
Li. It was like living in a never ending nightmare.
Ding-dong. Sakura stood up and walked out of her room and down the stairs to the front
door. She did her best to wipe her eyes before she opened the door to find, Tomoyo, holding a
single pink rose.
"Tomoyo," her eyes began to let her vision blur as tears came to her eyes once again, and
Tomoyo smiled softly, handing her the rose, and pulled a small note out from her pocket.
"S-Sakura, I'm sorry I can't stay to comfort you.. but rest assure, this will help," she
pointed to the note that she had handed her. "I'm sorry," she repeated as she watched Sakura look
at her. "I'll call you when I get home." Tomoyo then left, to Sakura's displeasure. She stood
looking at the rose and note, and shut the front door quietly. She walked back to her room,
sitting on the bed and opening the note.
Sakura,
I'm sorry about Syaoran leaving, and I hope you'll be okay, because, Sakura, when you're
happy, it makes me happy. So, I need to tell you: Even if Syaoran isn't your oh-so-special
someone you've been waiting for, that one person will come, and they'll love you for who you
are, Sakura.
Do you ever recall me telling you 'I love you'? You'd look at me and reply the same thing,
but I don't think you actually knew what I was talking about. Sakura, I want you to understand
that I do love you, and in a different way that you may love me. You're my best friend, and in my
eyes you are my 'oh-so-special-someone', and I love you like you loved Syaoran. I want you to
understand that, because you're old enough to know finally. But, if at all, you still love Syaoran
with all your heart, I want you to know that even if I may not be lucky enough to hold the key to
your heart, that when your lips are curled into a smile, and your emerald green eyes glisten with
joy, that I'll be just as happy as you are, even if I can never hold you hand and hear you say you
love me the way that I love you, Sakura.
Love Always,
Tomoyo Daidouji
"T-Tomoyo," she felt her cheeks go warm. She, her best friend, loved her, more then a
friend? She wanted to crawl into a hole and wait for her mind to understand it all, this was too
much information in so little time, and even for a girl of sixteen years of age, it was hard to put
the pieces together and understand completely.
And a part of her felt like loving Tomoyo, that way, was just simply impossible, Sakura
loved Syaoran, right? Then again, the other half seemed to be yearning for Tomoyo to hold her
close, wanting to tell her that she loved her as well. Which one was going to conquer her
thoughts? Well, she didn't know, but she knew Tomoyo would understand if she told her she
didn't know what to think anymore.
She stared at the pink rose which was laying on her nightstand, near the picture of
Tomoyo and herself, smiling, and hugging behind the carnival. In that picture, Tomoyo seemed
to be loving every moment of Sakura's embrace. The pieces just suddenly began to puzzle
themselves together, and she began to understand why Tomoyo acted the way she did around her.
She always made videos of Sakura, and made costumes for the card captures, and she even
remarked on how 'kawaii' she was. It all made sense, Tomoyo, her best friend, loved her with all
her heart.
Then, the decision was made. What would win her heart, would be Tomoyo. There just
seemed to be no use on hanging over Syaoran, when he had left her here in Tomoeda. She was
going to be able to let him go now.
She walked to her desk, and grabbed a small sheet of paper and pink pen. She seated
herself in the seat, and turned on the lamp, then beginning to write.
Dear Tomoyo,
The pieces finally fit together. I guess I've been living in the past, Syaoran is gone. But
besides that, first, I want to thank you for being my best friend, for being there for me, through
the good and bad times. I'm so happy you're there for me, and I can always havre a shoulder to
cry on if I need it.
And to let you know, Tomoyo, I've finally realized that Syaoran isn't that one person I've
been looking for, the one person that I could live my life with and forever be truely happy with. I
guess it took too long to realize, I mean, the answer was always right infront of me for the longest
time!
Tomoyo, you don't know how much your letter ment to me, and at first, I didn't
understand, and I wanted to just leave this world.. But I realized that, deep down in the dephs of
my heart, that I was yearning to hold you, and to tell you I loved you, I just.. never understood
what that feeling was, and I was scared of it. But the truth, Tomoyo, I love you, too.
Love Always,
Sakura Kinomoto
------------------------------------
"So, you told her?" Tomoyo nodded, taking a seat at the edge of her kind size bed. She
sighed softly wondering if Sakura would accept her feelings.
"Why haven't you called her?" Tomoyo looked at Eriol.
"Sakura needs time to understand it all," Eriol nodded. "I don't think that she'll
understand until she's read it a couple of times." He nodded once again in agreement.
"Do you need anything, Miss Daidouji?" The maid knocked on the door, which had been
only a little bit open, Tomoyo took a look at the door.
"Tea for two, if it isn't too much of a bother, please." She replied, and the maid was off to
the kitchen.
Eriol looked at Tomoyo, and then down to the phone, which had been laying next to
Tomoyo. "I think you can call her now, Tomoyo, it's been over thirty minutes. I think a smart
girl like our Sakura will have made her decision by now. And even if she hasn't, she'll tell you,
because she would never ever lie to you. Am I right?" Tomoyo nodded, then let her right hand
gently pick up her phone, and press in the numbers of Sakura's house. She listened carefully to
the rings of the phone. Then, to Tomoyo's suprise, Sakura's answering machine had come on.
"Moshi moshi! This is Sakura Kinomoto speaking, I'm currently not at the phone at the
moment, but if you'd leave a message I'll be happy to call you right back as soon as possible.
Hoe? Is it off yet, Tomoyo?" Tomoyo slightly giggled at the recording, she had been there when
Sakura recorded it and she couldn't figure out how to stop the recording when she had finished.
After the giggles, Tomoyo felt like she could die. She knew Sakura was home, but she didn't
know why she wouldn't answer the phone.
"Sakura, this is Tomoyo. Call me back as soon as possible," with that she hung up,
setting the phone down and and looked at her feet. Eriol frowned.
"Are you alright, Tomoyo?" Tomoyo just nodded. "You're sure?" She nodded once
again.
------------------------------------
"And did you know that chalk was originally used to stir tea? See, though, it would
disolve too quickly, so they made chalk into metal, but that wouldn't stir! So, they decided that
adding a oval shape to the end would help! So, that is why we have spoons!" Yamazaki held up a
small peice of chalk and smiled, using his other hand to point at it, smiling.
"Really? I didn't know that, Yamazaki!" Sakura exclaimed. Yamazaki continued to point
at his chalk and nod to her. "It is true, Sakura!"
"Yamazaki!" Chiharu was obviously annoyed by his presentation on how spoons were
made, she was always annoyed when he told lies, because, they were.. well.. lies. "Lies! All lies!
Yamazaki! How many times must I tell you?! Stop it!"
"Oh, you were just kidding? I knew that!" Sakura exclaimed with a nervous laugh, as
Chiharu grabbed him by the end of his highschool uniform and dragged him to the far end of the
lunch table, then slapping him twice, hoping that that would atleast knock a small amoutn of
sense into his small mind.
Sakura ignored Chiharu and her slapping of Yamazaki and turned to face Rika and
Naoko. Her eyes seemed to be full of concern. "Have you two seen Tomoyo at all today?" She
questioned them, but the two shook their heads, then continued to chatter about Yamazaki's lies.
She sent her head down on the table, and gently pushed her tray of food away from her. She
wasn't hungry. All she could think of was, why hadn't she answered the phone when Tomoyo
had called her yesterday? She had asked her to call her back as soon as possible, and for the first
time in Sakura's life, she had ignored Tomoyo's simple request, and she just hated herself for
doing that! Why.. why? That was probably the reason why she wasn't in class at all today,
because Sakura refused to answer the phone.. it had probably hurt Tomoyo's feelings. Tomoyo
had poured her heart and soul into telling Sakura she loved her, and she wanted to know what
Sakura thought.. How could she ignore that phone call?!
Then--someone set a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes glanced up and met sapphire ones,
which were laid behind circular spectacles. His lips curled into a smile as he saw Sakura.
"Anything wrong today, Sakura? Are you feeling alright?" Eriol asked softly to her
taking a seat on her right side. At first Sakura had been hesitant to tell Eriol about Tomoyo and
herself, but little did she know that Eriol had been there when Tomoyo wrote that note to Sakura.
"Is it about Tomoyo?" Eriol questioned further. To Sakura it was amazing how he just
knew these things, first, he knew that she was upset and then he knew that it was about Tomoyo.
Simple astonishing. "Would you rather we talked over there?" Eriol pointed to the cherry
blossom tree near the school gates. Sakura nodded.
The two walked over there, then sat down. Sakura's eyes suddenly began to fill with
tears again, first she had let Syaoran leave Tomoeda, and now she had ignored her best friend and
maybe her soon to be lover! What was wrong with her all of the sudden?
She flung herself around Eriol's waiste and cried softly explaining everything from
Syaoran's leaving to Tomoyo's confession of loving her letter. "Syaoran had left for Hong Kong
before you came back to Tomoeda, and I never told him how I felt, abuot how I loved him with
all my heart! I'd ignored my chance, Eriol! I could of told him how I felt right then and there, and
I should of! All I can do right now is just write him letters now and I don't know when he will
ever come back to Tomoeda! I don't even know if he'll ever come back to Tomoeda!
"And I got a letter from Tomoyo yesterday," Eriol was nodding, patting her gently in a
comforting way. "Tomoyo said that she'd loved me! She had told me that whenever, and I quote,
'when your lips are curled into a smile, and your emerald green eyes glisten with joy, that I'll be
just as happy as you are, even if I can never hold you hand and hear you say you love me the way
that I love you.' It took me so long to realize what she ment! I didn't even understand if I loved
her that way or if my heart still wanted to be with Syaoran.. I wanted to just sit there till
everything was back to normal. I thought about it for a long time, then realized I loved her, too. I
wrote her a note explaining it, and she called me later. I was worried about what to say so I..
didn't pick up the phone, and she left me a message saying to call her back as soon as possible,
but I never did. I ignored that, and I've never done that before in my whole life. And now, she
didn't come to school and I'm one hundred percent possitive that it's not because she was a cold
or because she's sick, it's because she doesn't want to see me, and she's afraid that I don't love
her like she loves me, but I do, Eriol, I do, it just took me too long to figure it out.
"What's wrong with me all of the sudden? I've never acted so emotional in my entire
sixteen years of life. Why can't everything just go back to normal, and Syaoran would be back in
Tomoeda.."
"Let it all out, Sakura, it's alright. Everything will be okay in the end," Eriol said.
"Sakura, but if it makes you feel any better at all, I was at Tomoyo's house when she called you,
and I know why she isn't at school." Sakura nodded, and Eriol continued. "You're right about
her being upset about you not calling her back, she was heart broken, although she didn't admit
it. She was hoping you'd call back and explain everything. Though, don't be so upset over it,
Sakura, how about you go talk to her tonight?" Sakura nodded again.
"She wasn't at school because she was afraid you'd admit you still loved Syaoran, and
because she was feeling a bit sick in the morning. She asked me to tell you that, she wants you to
talk to her as soon as you can.. So I think that you should call her or go to her house after school,
you will do that, right?" Sakura nodded.
"Are you going to be alright?" Sakura's muffled sobs had stopped a few minutes ago, and
seh let go of him, sitting up. She looked at him and nodded, then embracing him. "Thank you,
Eriol." Eriol just smiled like he always did, embracing her in a kind hug back. She looked up at
him.
"You're so kind to us all, do you know that?" Sakura asked, and it seemed that for the
first time Eriol blushed slightly pink. He let go, and stood up, extending his hand to help her as
well. Sakura accepted and smiled still.
"Off to the classroom then, or else we'll be late." Sakura nodded, and they both walked
back to Rika, Naoko, Yamazaki (Wwho had been telling his lies once again about chopsticks this
time.), and Chiharu.
------------------------------------
"Miss Daidouji, are you feeling alright?" One of Tomoyo's maids had set a hand on her
forehead to check for a fever, while Tomoyo nodded gently. The maid smiled at her, and nodded,
leaving Tomoyo to the privacy of her room.
"I hope Eriol gave my message to Sakura," Tomoyo said, as she tucked herself under her
blankets, and pulled the pillow under her head. She ran her fingers through her dark lavender
coloured tresses, and slowly she let her eyes close so she could sleep.

tell her that I said 'hello'? Maybe ask her to send me a letter as well?
I've got news.. Eriol is back in Tomoeda for the next two weeks, and he seemed to be a

I know it's been only two weeks, but I'm wondering, too.. When will you come back to

"Sakura, but if it makes you feel any better at all, I was at Tomoyo's house when she called you,
and I know why she isn't at school." Sakura nodded, and Eriol continued. "You're right about
her being upset about you not calling her back, she was heart broken, although she didn't admit
it. She was hoping you'd call back and explain everything. Though, don't be so upset over it,
Sakura, how about you go talk to her tonight?" Sakura nodded again.
"She wasn't at school because she was afraid you'd admit you still loved Syaoran, and
because she was feeling a bit sick in the morning. She asked me to tell you that, she wants you to
talk to her as soon as you can.. So I think that you should call her or go to her house after school,
you will do that, right?" Sakura nodded.
"Are you going to be alright?" Sakura's muffled sobs had stopped a few minutes ago, and
seh let go of him, sitting up. She looked at him and nodded, then embracing him. "Thank you,
Eriol." Eriol just smiled like he always did, embracing her in a kind hug back. She looked up at
him.
"You're so kind to us all, do you know that?" Sakura asked, and it seemed that for the
first time Eriol blushed slightly pink. He let go, and stood up, extending his hand to help her as
well. Sakura accepted and smiled still.
"Off to the classroom then, or else we'll be late." Sakura nodded, and they both walked
back to Rika, Naoko, Yamazaki (Wwho had been telling his lies once again about chopsticks this
time.), and Chiharu.

"Miss Daidouji, are you feeling alright?" One of Tomoyo's maids had set a hand on her
forehead to check for a fever, while Tomoyo nodded gently. The maid smiled at her, and nodded,
leaving Tomoyo to the privacy of her room.
"I hope Eriol gave my message to Sakura," Tomoyo said, as she tucked herself under her
blankets, and pulled the pillow under her head. She ran her fingers through her dark lavender
coloured tresses, and slowly she let her eyes close so she could sleep.
