Welp, something just struck me, so I just had to continue this. Sorry if it's boring or bad or whatever, but I really really really enjoy writing this! Also, sorry if some chapters are short...I don't really know what a good length for them is, and I often just wanna get it updated again as fast as possible, because I know how much it tears at me when someone writes a story I like and they take forever to upate it...it's nerve wracking ^^;; So, yeah, I have no idea at all where this is going...but that's not gonna stop me ;)
Do What You Have To Do - Part 2
Sonomi Daidouji sighed as she stared out the window of her bedroom. The rain silently complemented the overcast sky as she mused over the events of the past week.
"Tomoyo will never be the same..." she sighed. Every night this past week leading up to the wedding, Tomoyo was buried in wedding preparations. However, every night she would come home, and cry for several hours in her mother's arms. It was all Sonomi could do to just hold her daughter close and try to take some of the hurting from her heart.
Then, as if nothing had happened, Tomoyo would arise the next morning, a cheerful smile on her face, and yet another imperceptibly cracked mask. "Maybe, maybe now...she can do away with her masks. Whatever it takes..." Sonomi thought relievedly. "She needs a distraction now...something to get her life moving in a different direction."
Sonomi had long ago considered leaving her business to her daughter; however, she knew that Tomoyo did not have the business savvy and 'killer instinct' that she possessed. No, she would fit in better somewhere else.
Sighing yet again, the auburn haired woman reached over to a bouqet of flowers on her dresser, and held them close. Inhaling the sweet fragrance, she murmured a prayer, "Mmm...Nadeshiko...please, guard my darling daughter's precious, fragile heart. She keeps her emotions inside all too much, and I can see that it's tearing her apart. Please...find a way to give her the rest her heart so desperately cries out for..." In a very un-businesslike fashion, Sonomi curled into a fetal position, bouqet clutched to her chest, and sobbed quietly, until the dreariness of the afternoon lulled her to sleep.
Tomoyo took a deep breath as she rode home in the limousine. Eyes stained with tears, her mind went to the only place it was capable of going to after she was crushed by her feelings. "Sakura's happiness is what's most important...nothing else matters. Sakura will be happy with her Li-kun, happier than I could ever have made her. Besides, maybe she really did know how I felt, but she didn't feel the same way! That would be just like Sakura, to not want to hurt me." Tomoyo gripped the seatbelt that protected her. "But...what do I do now? What do I do about Sakura? Do I have a right to even be a part of her life any more? With Li-kun in her life, she doesn't need me any more..."
Tomoyo screamed as loudly as she could, beating the car seat with her fists, legs wildly kicking, almost in a temper tantrum. Thankful for the soundproof glass between her and the driver, Tomoyo unbuckled her seatbelt and lay down across the seat. "I...I'm tired. I...don't know...if I can be happy without...Sakura in my life. But...I don't know." Lavendar eyes, cracked and dulled by years of repressed emotions, freely dispensed tears once more...yet, they were tears of a different sort. Not tears of sadness because of rejection or loneliness. "I've spent my entire life crying those tears...if Sakura doesn't need me any more...then I should leave. Somewhere...anywhere...for her..." Tomoyo stopped. Was she still doing things for Sakura? "I don't know...I can't not do this for Sakura...but...I'm tired...so tired..."
With that, the young woman, who had cried so many tears for her beloved best friend, lay in silence, trying desperately to picture her doing something she had never done before. Something not for Sakura. Something...for herself...
"I guess even kaijuus deserve to be happy." Touya grinned.
Out of pure habit, Sakura mashed his foot with hers, earning a groan from Touya. "Onii-chan...thank you for always being there for me...even with all the 'kaijuus'..." Sakura grinned as she embraced her brother.
Touya motioned towards Li as he spoke. "I hope he can make you the happiest girl...woman...on Earth."
"I know we'll be happy together!" Sakura replied, a bit hurt that Touya still didn't trust her husband completely.
"Right...well...I'll feel a little better about that after I've had some 'words' with him..." Touya grinned.
"Now, To-ya...be nice." Yuki smiled.
Sakura grinned as well. "Kaijuus don't know how to be nice!"
Touya almost fell over in surprise. She had called him a..a...
"Seems like you've finally grown up, Sakura. Maybe...maybe I can stop watching out for you..." Touya admitted.
"Onii-chan...thank you." Sakura replied as she embraced her brother once more.
Touya couldn't help but think, "But I'm always gonna have my eye on that gaki, as well as..."
"Onii-chan...there's something I want to ask you...but not here, okay?" Sakura said, a concerned look on her face.
"Ok...later then. You can call if you want, I should be around." Touya knew what she wanted to ask him, and he was already starting to mentally prepare his case.
"I...I'd rather come over, if that's alright."
"Sure...if it's that important."
Sakura's eyes held more than a little worry. "It is..."
