Chapter 5: Before the Battle

Sakura went to Tomoyo to ask for a costume. Sakura and Tomoyo exchanged stories as Tomoyo look the best costume for Sakura.

Sakura said, "I know you can do it." Tomoyo nodded. Then, Tomoyo showed her a pink costume with the symbol of yin and yang in the front. It has a short skirt with shorts underneath and has a top with long sleeves and has bells on each end. "It's looks like Meiling's costume only that it's pink."

Sakura smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Tomoyo, for supporting me all this years."

Tomoyo looked at her best friend, "I'm just happy to be your best friend."

Sakura took her best friend's hand. "Close your eyes." Tomoyo did as she was told.

Sakura closed hers and there was a binding light in their hands. When the light disappeared, there's a crystal necklace in Tomoyo's hand.

Sakura said, "I want you to have this as a symbol of our friendship. I want you to wear it in your battle. It will keep you safe." Tomoyo's eyes started to become watery.

She hugged her best friend tight and whispered, "Thank you"

Syaoran and Sakura went out that night. They ate at McDonalds like they always do. They were both unusually silent. They exchanged glances every time they wanted to say something.

Sakura finally got strength to say, "I love you, Syaoran."

Syaoran looked at her and held her hand. "You will never lose me. I promise you that I'll always be there with you."

Syaoran took something out of his pocket. It was a silver necklace with a heart pendant. He stood up and placed the necklace in her neck. "I'll always be with you no matter what happens tomorrow." They left a few more minutes.

Syaoran took Sakura home. Syaoran kissed her and waved, "Good night, my angel."

Sakura waved and said, "Good night, my love."

Tomoyo went to Eriol's house to show him her costume. Tomoyo knocked on the door, carrying a purple bag with her. Ruby Moon opened the door.

"Hi. Is Eriol here?" Tomoyo asked.

Ruby Moon was deep in thought at that time. 'I could just get her lost in this house while I tell Eriol that I love him so that he will have time to choose…'

Then, she snapped out of her thoughts. "Yes. He's in the living room."

Eriol was relaxing himself in the living room. He looks like deep in thought when…

"Hi, Eriol!" She said with delight.

Eriol was surprised. It was Tomoyo in her costume.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahha" was all he could say.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Tomoyo said jokingly.

Eriol said when his giggle fit finally stopped, "I'm laughing because you are wearing the exact replica of my costume only that your costume is purple."

Tomoyo looked a bit disappointed. "Don't you like it?"

Eriol hugged Tomoyo tight. He said sadly, "This may be the last time a hug you."

Tomoyo then, whispered, "This will never be the last time because I'm always with you no matter what." They kissed passionately that night and said "I love you" to each other.
