Moving On

Author Note: Second, (extended thoughts written during chapter 6) I would like to thank everybody who has reviewed my story, whether they complimented or suggested. I'm very happy that you took time out of your day to read and review my story. I truly didn't think anybody would. So thanks everyone! I'll continue on to what you came here for.

Tomoyo woke up at 1:00AM the next morning. She climbed out of her window with her camera and a wrinkled sheet of paper. Her destination: the movie theater.

It was considerably dark out, and Tomoyo was forced to use a flashlight to see. The streetlights didn't even help cut through the late night fog. There was a security guard in the front of the building, just as it said on Tomoyo's paper. Nobody would be by the back door. The guard didn't even notice Tomoyo sneak past him in the fog. She opened the back door silently and slid through, unnoticed.

Once she was in, she shone her flashlight at her paper. It was a map of the theater, showing where the guards would be at what times. She took a couple of turns through the movie theater's many theaters and finally went through a large door in the very back of the theater.

The room was filled with television screens and videos stacked up high. Tomoyo rummaged through them until she found one that referred to the past Friday. She tucked it into a bag and got home without being caught by 2:00

"Sakura, I think you may want this," Tomoyo explained almost inaudibly the next morning as she held out a neatly wrapped (and very suspiciously shaped) rectangle. Sakura carefully unwrapped the gift and read the label on the side.

"This is when…" she started, almost dropping the tape. "This is when Meiling… died…"

Tomoyo nodded. "I took it from the movie theater last night. I… thought you might like to have it…"

"Thank you, Tomoyo," Sakura said as she gave Tomoyo a hug. Tomoyo patted Sakura's back reassuringly.

"Just don't tell Syaoran about it," Tomoyo exclaimed as Sakura put the video in her bag. Sakura spent most of the day with Tomoyo and Syaoran, telling nobody about the dream she had had. Touya was oddly quiet at dinnertime, and Sakura was just about fed up with it.

"Touya, what's wrong?" Sakura asked after dinner. Touya stared back at her intently, not knowing whether to tell Sakura that he saw Meiling or not.

"Sakura…" he replied quietly. "I talked to Meiling's spirit."

"Sp-spirit?" Sakura repeated shakily.

"She misses you, Sakura."

"I know, Touya."

"I think she wanted to say that she was sorry about ruining your plans to go to the movies with Syaoran, and that she wanted you to be her friend."

"I think so, too."
