To comfort one another
Notes: This is the 'sad' ending. It isn't sad really, still romantic…I suppose. Well I always like sad ones…don't ask me why! XD Also, the ending is more like the story, "Liang Shangbo he Zhu Yingtai". Chinese novel, I believe its called "the butterfly lovers" if it was the American version. =/ It's really good, and sad. I cried XD You should read it ^_^ Sorry for being so late T_T ::hits computer:: its my computer's fault! ^^;
Warning: Sadness, death, and suicide (almost) is ahead. If you are offended by such things, don't read on. And PLEASE, I already warned you; don't go crying to ff.net to sue me or anything because it won't work. I warned you, and that's that. Demo, the ending is kind of happy ^^;

"TOMOYO!!" Eriol screamed running like hell towards where Tomoyo's body landed. Syaoran and Sakura followed suit, but Eriol seemed to be too quick for them all and soon was at Tomoyo's side.
Her body was limp…
Her breathing shallow…
Her body was covered…in blood.
Tomoyo opened her eyes and smiled.
"Tomoyo!" screamed Eriol, holding Tomoyo close. "You can't die and just leave me! Dammit, you said you'll always comfort me!"
"…I can die…always…but I will…never…leave you," was her reply.
"What are you talking about? You'll be ok! You'll be ok!" Eriol screamed. "You can't leave me alone!"
"…I will never leave you…I'll always be there," Tomoyo replied slowly. Her breath was getting shallower and her eyes slowly started to close.
"What are you doing!!" screamed Eriol hugging her closer. Syaoran and Sakura arrived on the scene, horrified at what was happening.
Sakura made a move to get closer to Tomoyo and comfort her, but Syaoran held her back. "I think Hiiragizawa needs it more…" Sakura nodded and started crying, hugging, and just leaning on Syaoran.
"We have to get her to the bloody hospital NOW!" Eriol screamed standing up. He still had Tomoyo in his arms, and his body was covered with his and her blood.
"It's too late…Eriol…" she whispered. "I'm going to die."
"It's never too late Tomoyo! Never!" Eriol cried as he sank to his knees, he knew she was going to die. He just had to accept it.
"Just grant me one wish," Tomoyo requested gently. Eriol nodded while he cried for his Tomoyo. "Be here with me, before I die. Give me…comfort…Give me…love."
Eriol nodded…there was nothing he could do. Inside he knew it, but he didn't want to accept that he'd lose another loved one. Tomoyo tilted her head up and met his lips for the last time.
A kiss…
That lasted forever…
Their lips were perfect for each other…and it was a kiss, of love, of care, of comfort.
Eriol didn't want it to stop…he knew it would be the last time he would ever see Tomoyo again, but the end had arrived. Eriol felt a coppery liquid going into his mouth and he knew, that Tomoyo was dead. He parted his lips from hers and cried like he never had before.
"Aishiteru…Eriol," were her last words to him. Her lips were covered in blood and it dribbled down her chin. Her eyes still stared into Eriol's intense eyes, but they were glazed over, they were dead.
"No…NO!" screamed Eriol. "You can't die!"
Sakura and Syaoran tried to approach him, but he screamed, "Get away!!" They obliged, it would be the second time he had lost somebody he loved and his anger, sadness, and emotions erupted on the scene, creating an atmosphere unforgettable. Eriol's eyes glazed over, and in his insanity, his sorrow, he kissed her. Of course he didn't get a response, but he didn't care.
Those cold lips against his…it was all that mattered. It was all that mattered to him now. It was, his comfort. He didn't care that the blood dried on his lips, but as long as Tomoyo was in his arms, for the last time.
Hours passed…
Eriol still kissed the dead Tomoyo.
Even when the rain came pouring down, and the winds hit them. He just held her closer as if to protect her from it.
Everyone else gazed on in a mixture of pity, sadness, and disgust. (A/N: guess who the disgust is from T_T)
After many hours, the rainstorm turned into a typhoon. Sakura walked up to him and crouched down.
"Eriol-kun, we have to go…"
"No! We can't!" shouted Eriol, holding Tomoyo closer.
"We have to, you'll die, we'll die," Sakura reasoned. "We'll take Tomoyo-chan with us."
Eriol's blood-shot eyes glared into Sakura's and said, "We better."
Sakura nodded sadly and said, "Always." She was also crying and she soon swayed under the great storm that Syaoran grabbed her before she fell to the ground. Eriol finally stood up and together, they went back to the car.
hr
It had been a week after Tomoyo's death, and it was the funeral.
Everyone was in black, including Kaho, John, and the rest.
Eriol was in a black suit that showed elegance, and sorrow. It was the first thing he changed into after Tomoyo died. During that time, he moped, cried, and was delirious. He seemed conserved, but they had no idea what was in his mind.
"I'm glad you could make it," said Sakura sniffling.
Silence.
Eriol's eyes were still red, he still cried.
Syaoran hugged Sakura as she hugged back crying.
John stood in a hostile silence. Kaho was sniffling; she understood to some extent that Eriol loved Tomoyo a great deal. She respected that. John, well John, just stood there glaring.
It started raining, just like on that dreary day Tomoyo had died. After all the services, they started to lower the casket into the pit.
When it was all covered up with dirt, Eriol and Sakura collapsed crying whispering, "my dear tomodachi" over and over again. There was one thing that was different from them though, Sakura had someone to comfort her. Eriol did not.
"Why did you leave me…" Eriol whispered crying. "You were supposed to comfort me. I want to be with you…together."
Eriol finally stood up, and they left to go back to the Hiiragizawa manor. Nakuru sniffled and said, "Tomoyo-sama and Eriol-sama never married. Eriol-sama is sad…then I am sad. I just want Eriol-sama to be happy, I'll do anything for him." Spinel was in her pocket and he agreed softly. He hated to see his master so sad, and he missed Tomoyo a lot. Spinel was starting to care for her a lot, and seeing she was gone broke his heart.
hr
Weeks passed, Eriol's condition worsened. He stopped talking, didn't eat, and didn't sleep. Kaho and John had left right after the funeral, but Syaoran and Sakura stayed to take care of Eriol until he was ok again.
On a stormy night, much like the one when Tomoyo died, Eriol started to speak.
"I want to pay my last respects to Tomoyo," he said grumpily.
Sakura sat up in her chair, "I'm glad you're speaking again. Lets go tomorrow, its too – "
Eriol threw her a look that could have turned elephants upside down.
Sakura hurriedly said, "Of course we'll go to the cemetery, one last time."
"Good, let's go," he uttered. "Spinel, Ruby Moon, you come too."
hr
At the cemetery…
"I want to do one last thing before I pay my last respects. I am going to tie Ruby Moon and Spinel's life forces to Sakura-san," he said gently as he transferred them.
Nakuru shook her head violently, not understanding. "What are you doing!"
Spinel understood, and he slowly nodded. "I understand master."
"Please remember, Sakura-san is your new master."
"Hai, Eriol-sa I mean Eriol-san. What are you going to do?" Spinel asked.
"To be with Tomoyo."
Sakura didn't realize what was happening and she grabbed Eriol's hand. "What are you going to do!? Kill yourself HERE!?"
Syaoran said, "What? Hiiragizawa, you've gone crazy!"
Eriol didn't answer. The winds grew big. Sakura's grasp on him was gone in no time. The violent rains whipped their clothes. Then Tomoyo's grave yawned wide.
"TOMOYO!" screamed Eriol before he jumped into the grave…to be with his loved one, his comfort.
Sakura screamed and Syaoran held on to her in shock.
Nakuru sat down on the grass and screamed, "ERIOL-SAMA!!!!!!"
The skies cleared, and an eerie but comforting light shown. Tomoyo's grave looked like normal, no open slots, and Eriol was gone. Voices vibrated through out the cemetery and one could decipher the words, "I am now happy…with Tomoyo."
Nakuru nodded, wiping her eyes. She now understood, and she was happy if Eriol-sama was happy. The reason why Eriol transferred their life forces to Sakura-chan was so they could live. Eriol-sama was always so kind…as long as he is happy, we should be happy too.
Spinel also noted this, and he was glad for his master; but he couldn't stop a small tear running down his black cheek. Sakura just sat down crying into Syaoran's chest.
"Its all right, as long as they are happy, we should be happy for them," Syaoran whispered with comfort.
Sakura wiped her eyes and smiled, "You're right."
From the grave, emerged two butterflies. One blue and black, one violet and light blue, they were the butterfly lovers. Tomoyo and Eriol. They seemed to whisper in small voices, "We're here, to comfort one another."
