Chapter 2 here, I know it's done about 20 mins after the first, but I'm taking chunks out of the original document. WARNING: Contains deep kissing.

Disclaimer: As much as I want to, I don't own CCS. If I did, syaoran would never have existed.

There, she said it. She doesn't love me. I am not the key to her happiness. In fact, I could be the thing making her unhappy. No! I don't deserve to live if I am the one who makes Sakura-chan unhappy! I saw the scissors sticking out of Sakura's pencil case, on top of her desk. I took them in my shaking hands, bringing the sharp point to my wrist preparing to cut, to somehow let the pain out…

"Stop it! Don't do that, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura-chan cried, wrestling the scissors from my grasp. She looked at me in horror, seeing the suicidal expression on my face. She gasped and stepped back from me. I knew she was repulsed by my love. I should just die now, to same her from and bad emotions…

"Tomoyo-chan. You're always saying that my happiness matters the most, right? You say that your happy when I'm happy. But what if you're the one who isn't happy? You make your life so unfair on you, the person who is living it. Oh Tomoyo-chan…" the sad magician sobbed, bringing me into a warm embrace. My mind temporarily stopped, I wanted to savour that moment, just that.

"I want you to be happy also, Tomoyo-chan. And not because I'm happy."

Sakura-chan stood up, taking the magical key of hers from her neck. This was it. She would strike me down.

"Sakura-c-chan, n-nani ga…" I stuttered, but I was almost beyond the ability to speak, all I could do was watch.

"Make me love the one who truly loves me back, instead of the one who was not loyal, CHANGE!" Sakura cried, summoning the change card. I stared, open mouthed at her.

"n-no, Sakura-chan, you mustn't do t-this!" I pleaded, but the auburn-haired girl was already surrounded by a pillar of light. I reached out to her desperately, but the light repulsed my quivering hand.

Once the light died down, Sakura-chan came into view. She was on her knees, eyes covered by her bangs. Just the sight bought tears to my already wet eyes. She had hurt herself, even k-kil-

"I love you too, Tomoyo-chan," came a small voice from Sakura-chan's limp form, "I just took me a while to realise it. I swear, I will never let you be lonely again."

As she said this, she leaned towards me, her head coming rest on my shoulder. We embraced tightly, and when I thought she was going to step back, she bought her head up to my level and I felt the soft touch of her lips upon mine. They were warm and fresh, and I eagerly kissed back, putting my hands round her shoulders.

And if that wasn't enough, I felt something wet pressing one my lips. Sakura's smooth tongue was asking for entry. How many times have I dreamed of this happening? Too many to count. I opened my lips and slowly her tongue slipped into my mouth, so I did likewise into hers. As for how long we kissed, I'll never know. A minute? And hour? A lifetime? Her soft embrace made everything else irrelevant.

When we finally broke apart, I began to talk straight away.

"Sakura-chan! How could you have done this to yourself? You've turned yourself into something that nobody will accept, you should-"

"Don't worry Tomoyo-chan. I wanted this! I needed the courage to love you the way you love me! I haven't turned into anything. I've just found a place in my heart that I never knew was there!" Sakura replied, looking imploringly at me. "Will you- Tomoyo-chan, will you be my girlfriend?"

"S-sakura-chan.." I began to contradict her, my those emerald eyes looked at me so imploringly, so emotionally that I couldn't hold back anymore. "Of course I will be Sakura-chan! It would make me the happiest person in the world!"

So Sakura and I embraced again, crying on each other's shoulders, this time out of happiness, rather that sadness.

Oh Sakura! You don't even realise how happy I am! Your smile, which forever sustains my soul, is one of love. How I have yearned for that smile to be because of me! And now, you and I are lovers… can life really be this good? I feel like jumping on top of you and showing the true extent of my love!

Which was precisely what I did. Glomping Sakura-chan, I kissed her again. And again. I felt so good, releasing all that angst that had been boiling up inside me. Had I really been thinking of taking my own life 10 minutes ago? I could never do that!

The weekend passed in a haze of kisses and hugs. I had never known such happiness. I thought that when I was with Sakura, I was happy. But when I am together with Sakura, I am happy. I sighed contentedly and began to think about the future. Of course, I could never give Sakura a child, and that would never change…but as I'd just seen, things do change. Change… the card Sakura had used to reveal her true feelings. Maybe, just maybe, we could change-

"Tomo-chan, it's 7 o'clock already.." my lovely Sakura began to say, "and it's already Sunday. You need to go home. But I'll see you at school tomorrow!"

"Saku-chan… I'll be counting the seconds." I replied, hauling myself from on top of her. I collected my clothes, which were strewn all over sakura's room, and unceremoniously stuffed them into my duffel bag. As we walked downstairs, hand In hand, I saw Kero on the sofa, snoring his head off surrounded by puddings. Giggling slightly, we shared one last kiss before I departed.

Sakura… I understand why you're named that now. Like blossoms in my heart, you showed me that the thing I missed most in life was right in front of me, waiting for me to be brave enough to accept it. My cherry blossom, you brighten my day no matter what you do. Forever and always, I will hold you deep in my heart.

Please R&R!
