Suppi: Fruity Keen You, when are u going to mention Shoaran, I wanna know why he dumped Sakura and Why in hell's name he got married to someone else.
Fruity: May I remind you that Patience is a virtue.
Suppi: You better mention him and now.
Fruity: Relax My hot-tempered friend.
Suppi: Humph
Fruity: Warning this is a long chapter
Chapter Three
The trouble that happens between friends.
Sakura was half way home when she felt an evil era that sent shivers up her spine.
" This presence…"
" SAKURA!"
"Ahhhhh!" Sakura leapt two meters off the ground as a hand grasps her shoulder.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura was clenching her chest (notice I said chest, not breast) as she attempted to recover from the surprise, " Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
Tomoyo smiled sheepishly, her violet eyes filled with both an apology and happiness.
" I was worried about you Sakura," Sakura turned her face away, ashamed. Tomoyo nodded sadly in understanding.
" You know there are other fish out at sea, why do you have to waste energy on one?"
Sakura just stared out at the pillow clouds that lingered the baby blue sky. Slowly she walked, followed by Tomoyo, who continue let her live in her own world.
She'll never understand, Sakura thought, before she turned back to face Tomoyo.
She's such a good friend, and having to deprive her off talking about her love life, just because I have none, is so selfish of me. A tear trickled down Sakura's cheek.
Both friends wandered Tomeodo until they arrived at the Library. With the lights beaming, and silence, it seemed welcoming to any stranger.
Sakura chose to sit at the far back office for what she was about to tell Tomoyo.
But it took several minutes before Sakura finally broke the silence.
"Tomoyo,"
Tomoyo's eager violet eyes peered at her, Sakura was grateful that Tomoyo didn't happen to have her camera with her, it would have made things a lot more difficult for her to talk
Sakura took a deep breath "I am still in love with Shoaran,"
"But I thought.."
"You didn't think Tomoyo, you assumed," Tomoyo's eyes fell to the desk
" Sakura, this isn't healthy, you have to get over him. You have let him go from your heart,"
Sakura now leaning on the glass of the windowpane, continue to stare at the sky that now began to cloud up with dark clouds.
" I know," her breath was barely above a whisper. Tomoyo gazed unknowingly at Sakura, confused at what she was saying.
She continued " I know that he did get married, I know that he hurt me, I know that he must have children by now, I know that everyone of my friends hate him, even you,"
Tomoyo avoided Sakura's gaze, feeling guilty. What Sakura said was true. Everyone hated Shoaran. Obviously Touyo hated him from the beginning, and ever since that incident, he hated him even more, at the point, when he was willing to fly to China, and kick that Gaki's ass. Sakura wouldn't even hear of it though. She begged him not to do anything rash, and so Touyo listened. However when Tomoyo, heard of it she was shocked to the very core of her bone. She even called Meiling, who was even surprise with the announcement.
FLASHBACK
Ring* Ring*
"Hello Meiling speaking," young women, with waist long amber straight hair, wearing a silky nightgown answered the phone.
"Hello??"
"Oh Meiling, did you hear," It was Tomoyo
"Hear what?" Meiling, became extremely worried, since Tomoyo, was practically stammering to get the words out.
"Shoaran's getting married,"
"WHATTTTTTTTT!" Meiling grabbed the attention of some the servants who were cleaning up the mess left from dinner.
Meiling blushed with embarrassment, before apologising and departing to her headquarters, with the cordlessphone.
" When did you hear this?" Meiling became concerned
"You mean they never told you?" Tomoyo replied
"No," Damn Bastard Shoaran, how could you do this to Sakura, Meiling couldn't help but think angrily
" That's odd. I thought that you being family you would have heard of this,"
"Well I've heard nothing about this arrangement," Meiling replied stubbornly.
"Ummmmmmmmmmmm,"
"Tomoyo, I promise I talk to Shoaran about this. There's got to be a mistake. I mean he loves Sakura so much that he would die for her,"
"Okay. Thanks Meiling. I am really worried about Sakura, she's not eating or anything,"
"I will. Oh I am Sorry Tomoyo, I have to go. I got another call coming in."
"Okay bye, be sure to call back." Click*
Tomoyo hung up
END OF FLASHBACK
Stupid Meiling never called back, Tomoyo muttered under her breath.
" What is it Tomoyo?" Sakura asked
Tomoyo came back into reality "Oh nothing," but secretly she was cursing the whole Li clan within her mind, especially Shoaran, who would pay for what he did to her best friend.
Sakura spoke again, " But I can't help but love him,"
"WHATTTTTTTT!!" Tomoyo leapt from her chair, " Sakura are you crazy, he left you behind, he left you even when you waited for him to return. He abandoned you,"
"He must have had a reason,"
" GOD!! Sakura! Will you listen to yourself? Shoaran is married, and you are still hurting. And you say that you still love him."
Sakura finally lost her temper " Well I am sorry! I can't control how I feel,"
Tomoyo backed away into her chair, she heaved deeply, " Look Sakura" her voice was calm yet small " I hate to tell you this, but he's moved on. You knew that long distant relationships don't…"
"NO!!!" Sakura thrusted herself upward from her chair, disturbing the silence with the in library.
"Sakura," Tomoyo's face was all red from embarrassment as the reader's faces gave her death glare.
" I know that Shoran's not like that. He must have had a reason," Sakura was shaking the entire table with rage. Not to mention letting her powers control her again. Tomoyo sunk-in deeper into her chair, she'd seen Sakura mad before, but never this mad.
" Sakura please calm down,"
Sakura's eyes became dead. " No, I won't! You have no idea how bad it is not to be with someone you love with all your heart,"
This triggered something in Tomoyo's heart, as she hung her head low, finally understanding the disturbance of emotions that Sakura was feeling.
"Yes I do," her voice cut through Sakura's
Sakura's eyes widened as she saw her best friend pull herself from the table and stormed out the nearest exit but before she left she said, "Sakura, the whole world just doesn't revolve around you, you know. For years I've stood behind you, ready to catch you when you fall, ready to support you in any decision you made, whether you'd be right or wrong. But Sakura I miss you. I miss the old you, and I can't stand the new you. Don't speak to me until you've learned that friends aren't something to be taken for gradient."
And with that she was gone
When she left, only then, did she notice the millions pair of eyes glaring evilly at her. She didn't speak but only rushed to catch up to Tomoyo
In opening the exit, Sakura discovered that it was already pouring with rain and the wind was blowing furiously. She gazed up at the sky, before closing her eyes.
"God, What have I done," and with that loneliness came back, causing her to continue standing in the rain, crying until no tears were left.
Tomoyo's heart pounded with sorrow, as did her eyes. Oh why did Sakura have to have everything, a good life, magic, the chance to love someone and who loved her back. Tomoyo walked slowly towards the penguin slide. Her body soaked from all the rain that had came from the storm.
So her friendship with Sakura was over, she thought. She began to choke on her own tears; everything seemed to be going against her. Even being caught in the storm, was a strike of bad luck. Little did she know that a dark figure stood behind her.
" Long time, no see Tomoyo Daidouji,"
Suppi: Whoa Long chapter
Fruity: Yeah well, sorry I did say exactly what happened to Shoaran
Suppi: So Sakura and Tomoyo had a big argument
Fruity: Yeah I figure, that friendship isn't always about sunshine, there has to be storms between them.
Suppi: Will they ever speak to each other again.
Fruity: You'll SEEEEEEEEE
Suppi: GRUMBLE
