Ok, before anyone complains I know this is a short chapter, but that's only because there are only one or two chapters left, along one or two shorter. That's right, Feeling Revealed is coming to an end, but the last chapter is already in progress and it will be up soon, I don't promise anything, but I'll do my best to finish it before the end of the month.
Disclaimer: I tried to contact CLAMP, to see if they would let me own this characters, even if it was just for this chapter. No such luck, since I don't speak japanese and I have no idea where to find them...
Oh, and I reuploaded chapter seven, in case you didn't get it well you can read it again.
Chapter Eight: Solutions
---Normal POV---
"Are you sure about this? Touya what about your father?" Yukito didn't want to give into hope. He knew that if he did and Touya changed his mind he would feel terrible.
"If you don't want me to go just say so, otherwise yes, I'm pretty sure". Touya looked at the silver haired man. He knew it was a rushed decision, and he would worry about his father, but he wasn't ready to let that man go.
Syaoran arrived just in time to see Yukito smiling shyly at Touya. He chuckled and for a moment forgot all his previous depression. So Touya was going with him... Sakura had mentioned that her brother would probably follow them if he had a strong excuse for it, and as usual she was right.
Syaoran opened his eyes when comprehension dawned over him. That would mean Touya would be living on Hong Kong as well! He would never be Touya-glares free! He sighed and then chuckled again. Now he was regaining his usual personality and confidence.
He was already thinking on Touya living near them even after Sakura had given him the engagement ring back. It was painful when he thought about it, but Syaoran wasn't the kind of man who would give up easily. He was sure that Sakura loved him and he would do anything to win her back.
"You are wrong". Sakura looked at her friend. She didn't think she should tell Syaoran how she feel?
"I don't love Syaoran".
"I was talking about you".
"Tomoyo... I" Sakura looked at her best friend. She didn't know what to do or say, she had thought Tomoyo was in love with Syaoran, not with her.
"I... I never said anything because I was scared that it would ruin our friendship. And I don't want to repeat my mother mistakes" Tomoyo smiled at her friend, although it was a sincere smile it was also a sad one.
"Sakura-chan, you are my best friend, and the most important person in my heart. All I want is to see you happy, and I know Syaoran-kun makes you happy. I can't imagine you two with someone else, you are perfect for each other".
Sakura looked at her hands. She understood what Tomoyo was telling her, but also it was too confusing and too sudden, she wasn't sure what to answer. She loved Syaoran and wanted to be with him. The thought of being without him break her heart, and after she had given him the ring back she had felt lost and sad.
"Sakura-chan... I don't want you to worry about me. I've always know how you felt about him, ever since we were kids chasing after the cards I knew you'll end up together. You are stronger when he's around, and he's is happy when you are by his side."
Tomoyo extended her hand and took Sakura's.
"I want to find someone that gives me all that, and I want you to enjoy what you've found. With no regrets".
Sakura looked at their hands. Then she smiled softly and took Tomoyo's. She looked up, there weren't doubts in her heart anymore.
"My mom almost left my dad you know?" Tomoyo looked at her surprised. "No one seemed to agree they were get married and she wasn't sure she was doing the right thing. But my dad told me that in the end she decided that she would follow her heart because she believed her family wanted her to be happy".
"I want to follow my heart too, because I believe you want to see me happy Tomoyo-chan. You will always be my best friend, and I hope you'll find that person... no, I'm sure you'll find that person one day".
Tomoyo closed her eyes for a second, then she smiled. It would be hard for her, but as long as Sakura were happy she would be as well.
"Thank you, Sakura-chan"
"But you have to tell me when you find that person! No one can be with my friend unless I approve them!"
Both girls looked at each other and then started to laugh. Both of them knew that after this, nothing would ever come between them. They stood there, remembering the 'old times' and smiling, enjoying the peace their company gave them.

Sakura and Tomoyo said good bye two hours later, and after her best friend's bodyguards picked Tomoyo up, Sakura walked back to her house. She was calmer than that morning and she had the feeling everything will be all right.
In that moment she felt one of her cards glowing and she took it out. It was Hope. She smiled and whispered 'Thank you' at it. The card glowed a bit stronger and then fade away. Sakura too, noticed another presence near her, and as she looked up, she met the familiar amber eyes looking at her from the entrance of her house.
It was time to talk things out.
"Syaoran..."
