Starless

"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura could be heard from the other end of the corridor. Scampering towards her best friend, she blabbered what she wanted to say for she was rushing to have lunch with her boyfriend, no other than Li Syaoran. "Tomoyo, wulduliketocumoverforastay *breathes* overthisweekend?"

Thank heavens for Tomoyo's skill of making out what Sakura was saying. She replied with a nod and a 'shoo, off to your boyfriend'. Smiling to herself as the girl scuttled off, she was happy for her friend actually found someone other than herself to open up to, and to share memories together. Perhaps, she would one day experience that too…

The very day after the day after the next, Tomoyo arrived with her bag packed at the Kinomoto Residence. She was never too later, yet never too early for she knew exactly what time Sakura would wake up. That day was to be spent with the four of them together, namely Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Meilin, who was over visiting for the week, but only the girls were staying.

Ringing the doorbell, she knew that Sakura was not up yet and she could prepare a little something for breakfast. Waiting patiently for the other family members to open the door, she was surprised to see that someone else, other than the 3, was in the house too. The door opened and revealed Tsukishiro Yukito.

"Ah! Daidouji-san!" the white haired cheerful chap greeted. Tomoyo was in shock for a moment for she didn't expect Yukito to be there. She bowed and smiled at him, quietly mentioning his name in acknowledgment. Yukito politely took her bags even though Tomoyo wanted to reject his offer. It just wasn't nice.

"Yuki, who's here?" a sleepy groan crept into the hallway. No other than the older Kinomoto of the family, Touya noticed Tomoyo in the background and nodded as a welcome to his residence. He then helped Yukito take Tomoyo's one bag and shot a look towards Yukito.

Tomoyo, with her powerful observation, had caught this look. It was that one look that she could never forget. It was the look Eriol had cast on Kaho before. It was the one shared between two people who shared a bit more than just friendship. It was the look of a lover.

Blushing in embarrassment, Tomoyo giggled at the two lovebirds [or bunnies] in front of her, causing them to remember that she was still there. She bowed and took her bag from Touya and informed them that she would be heading to Sakura's room first. Then she left the two guys blushing behind her.

On the way to Sakura's room, Tomoyo was thinking about the couple below. Yes, it didn't matter if both of them were members of the same sex, it was just the way they felt about each other. Touya was of course, more protective of Yukito and had sensed his feelings much earlier. Yukito, on the other hand, was confused about his emotions and found out much later…and he was Yue.

Tomoyo stopped. Memories of Yue just flooded into her head. She felt her eyes began to water as thoughts of herself hurting Yue materialized in front of her. Her heart began to break as she thought of her selfishness towards it when she thought she couldn't bear to love it. What was wrong with her? Why didn't she just accept it? Why did she move away?

Because I love it…She thought sadly, knowing that now she couldn't turn back time. Finally, she decided to leave the place. She could not take it any longer. Yukito's presence would only remind her of Yue and that would make her cry and shatter. She wanted to hide it…for the time being. It was something personal to her and all she needed was time to get over it. Signing off a note that was neatly written, she slipped it under Sakura's door and left the house.

"Tomoyo left a note?!" Meilin shouted angrily just as she found out from Sakura about the note. "I came all the way back to see you guys and she left a note?! Without a proper explanation either!"

Sakura and Meilin were just questioning themselves about Tomoyo's sudden change of mind. She wasn't picking up their phone calls or replying to them at all. She was just…not there. Syaoran, on the other hand, was not doing anything about it. He was just trying to feel Tomoyo's emotions from the note, but it wasn't strong enough to make it out. So he just sat there, watching the two girls make a lot of noise over Tomoyo.

Soon it was night. After dinner, Syaoran wanted to make a move first so it'll just be a girl's night out for a longer period of time. He proceeded out of the door and thanked the Kinomotos. Just as he made pass the corner, Yukito came running after him, telling him that he had left his wallet and since he was also leaving, might as well be the middleman. "Personal service, Master Li."

Syaoran laughed, following after Yukito's laughter. Then he placed his hand against Yukito's head and 'knocked' him unconscious. "I'm sorry but I must speak to someone…I call upon the protectors of the Sakura cards, the guardian of the moon, Yue!"

A pair of wings formed behind Yukito's back and soon engulfed him. Light produced from the inside and soon the wings pulled back into it's original position, and a magnificent beauty was held before anyone's eyes.

"Master Li, you called?" Yue's emotionless eyes looked into the chocolatey ones.

"Yes Yue…I would like to speak for you for a moment." They headed towards a nearby park bench for a little chat.

"I've been wondering why we haven't seen you in quite awhile…" Syaoran asked as a Sakura flower flew into his hand.

"There is no purpose for me to show myself." Yue's reply called upon a breeze and blew the Sakura flower away.

"Are you sure? I sense something more than that…" Syaoran asked with a stern voice.

"Yes."

Syaoran thought for a while, then his hand reached for his jacket and retrieved a note. Tomoyo's note. Then he felt the moon guardian tense up. He could not be wrong.

"Nothing is wrong, isn't it? Then I wonder why Tomoyo couldn't spend the day with us. Do you know why?"

Yue didn't answer. It couldn't let the young man beside him know. It couldn't let anyone know.

"Yue, if there's something that you wish to tell me-"

"No, there isn't." Yue cut into Syaoran's sentence. It's eyes hardened and it tore them away from the note.

"I opened up to you before, and you showed me the way. Perhaps I can do the same for you now."

Yue remained silent. And then, it nodded.

Mainey's Corner:
Ok. I have no idea how I lasted through this chapter. I know it's really badly written, but there really wasn't any way to write this chapter. I promise a much better one for the next chapter. Thanks to all the reviewers again!
