CHAPTER 6

So sorry…I couldn't think of anything to continue the story with! Plus, once I did, I got lazy. So sue me for being human!

Enjoy.

p.s. Yes, Tomoyo's mum also says ''chan''

Tomoyo sighed for what seemed like the 700th time that day. Of course, Sakura didn't notice.

It was Meiling's birthday and Tomoyo was at Sakura's house. The yellow walls of Sakura's room showed Tomoyo the familiarity around her. Years she spent talking with Sakura it seemed. The room…

Way back when it told Tomoyo all the secrets. It whispered in her ear the tempting information of when Sakura did what. When she obsessed over Yukito…and when she shed a tear to create the love card when Shaoran was leaving for hong Kong. But now….Tomoyo had another horrible urge to shut her ears. The whispers were gone, and now only shouts and hisses remained, telling Tomoyo of Sakura;s talk with Shaoran over the phone, her daydreams and blushes…the shouts became so loud that Tomoyo's ears felt as if they were bleeding.

But why…Sakura…Tomoyo had always in her right mind wanted to keep her happy. But now it seemed there was no right mind left. She still wanted Sakura happy, but the internal sadness was gone. Only surface smiles could convince Sakura. Unfortunately, only Sakura…

Meiling and Shaoran were so worried for her. This past week…it went by so fast…no. It went by slowly. No, the week went by quickly, but the days went by slowly. Tomoyo's mind was crowded. Her daydreams and her nightmares showed only the scene of Sakura with Shaoran over and over. Sakura had told her she knew of the remaining love for Shaoran Meiling still had, but was blind for Tomoyo. Tomoyo…her best friend! Tomoyo kept her secrets! She obsessed and worshiped her every move, praying for Sakura's happiness.

Sakura was humming her mother's song. Tomoyo sighed another time. Could anything console her?

"Tomoyo?" Sakura finally asked. Tomoyo shook her head. "Nothing…"

"No, I know there's something. Are you sad?"

Tomoyo shrugged. "I dunno. Are you happy?"

"I can't be if you're sad, Tomoyo." Sakura grinned. Tomoyo stopped.

"You're happy…if I…am …h-happy?" Tomoyo asked."

"Uh huh. It'd be horrible if I was happy when you're sad." Sakura shrugged prettily. She grinned again and sat next to Tomoyo. "Why are you sad?"

Why? Why? "I…" Tomoyo stopped herself again. Why….why was she sad…..there had to be a reason, right? Being sad for no reason made no sense.

Tomoyo considered. Well, she was sad because Sakura kissed Shaoran…but…she was happy that Sakura found the one she wanted to be with forever…was she…happy or sad?

Tomoyo couldn't believe it. For more than two weeks she was confused over Sakura and now she knew a little reason why. She isn't happy or sad? Tomoyo shook her head. But why doesn't she know why? The only reason Sakura or anyone else acted so weird was because they were…

In love.

"Tomoyo? Are you happy?" Sakura asked.

Tomoyo blinked and looked at Sakura. Sakura had her questioning look on. The normal Tomoyo would shout "HOW CUUUUUUUUTE!" and leave it at that. But now, it shone Sakura's new-blossoming beauty. Though young, Sakura was growing and developing. Her eyes weren't as wide, but still held the sparkle. Her hair was growing, shining almost more maturely…and her chest.

Tomoyo broke her gaze with a small blush. Of course, Tomoyo always knew she loved Sakura. It was a way of life for her…but this was a lot more…

Wait. Love? Tomoyo, love Sakura, a girl??? No way. Tomoyo shook her head again, trying to relieve her head of the overwhelming thoughts.

NO! I can't love a girl this much that way…It's just not right. It's wrong….it might happen to some…but not me!

"Uh…Tomoyo? Are you…okay?"

"Stay…stay…" Tomoyo said, her eyes bulging with fear and possibly insanity.

"Tomoyo?"

"STAY AWAY!!" Tomoyo shrieked. Sakura jumped. Tomoyo glared at Sakura, a mix of fear and anger. "Stay…" Tomoyo put her arms around her raised legs and hid her head in them. "…away…"

Tomoyo opened her eyes. She was in her bed. Was it a dream?

Tomoyo shook her head in negation. No, it was real. Her body guards came. They took her away from Sakura…

Sakura…

Tomoyo began to breathe heavily. Sakura…she was so scary…making Tomoyo feel so many emotions at once…fear, anger, jealousy, love.

"Not love!" Tomoyo shouted. She didn't love Sakura. She was hurt too much to love anymore. Not even anymore. She never loved Sakura. Sakura was…painful…hurtful…

She loved Shaoran…that was normal…maybe Sakura wasn't scary to anyone but Tomoyo but she was. Sakura's face…it's beauty was too much to bear. Tomoyo rubbed her eyes and closed them again.

Tomoyo! Come, let's go!

Tomoyo's eyes snapped open. Sakura was there when she closed her eyes. Tomoyo loked to her right and saw a photo frame with one of the prized pictures of Sakura in a uniform Tomoyo designed. Tomoyo reached over and smacked the frame down.

"Tomoyo?" Tomoyo's mother came into the room.

Tomoyo looked up at her mother. She held a slight resemblance to Sakura's mother…

"Tomoyo…are you okay? The servants…they said they took you from Sakura-chan's house…"

Sakura?!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tomoyo yelled. She clutched her head in agony. The feelings of jealousy, rage, fear…love…

"AAAAAAAAGH!!" Tomoyo yelled again. Not LOVE! NOT LOVE!!

Tomoyo fell sideways onto her bed. She never noticed her mother dialing a phone. Her body scrunched up into a ball. No one could move her. No one would. No one could, not even herself, move the thoughts from her mind.
