A/N: Okay, I deleted some stuff from this chapter, because I realized that it went too fast. I also realized that it contradicted something in a previous chapter… So, for those of you who liked the old chapter, sorry… But I think this makes it at least a little bit better…

Tomoyo closed her eyes, basking in the sun that fell on her face. It was the perfect day. Not too hot, but still plenty of sun.

There were some downsides to the fact that she had her eyes closed, though. The first of these was that she couldn't see the beautiful way that the sun bounced off of the trees (and everything else at the school, for that matter).

Another was that she wasn't watching where she was going, so she didn't see Ashura until after she'd run into him.

"I-I'm so sorry!" she stuttered out, glancing up to see who she'd bumped into. "Oh, Ashura-sempai, I'm sorry!" she repeated, blushing.

"It's alright, Tomoyo-chan," he said, smiling politely and handing her the book she hadn't even noticed she'd dropped. "It's good to enjoy the sun once in a while, isn't it?"

"O-oh, yes! It's wonderful when we have days like this!"

"Well, I wish I could stay and chat," Ashura said abruptly. "But I should be going now."

"Oh, do you have classes?" Tomoyo asked.

"No, not today. I told Fai I would meet him today, though."

"I'm heading that way, too! I was just going to visit Kurogane-san. Would you like to walk together?"

"Sure," he replied, smiling down at her again.

Tomoyo knocked again, louder this time. "I wonder where they could be," she thought aloud when there was still no answer.

"That's odd… Fai told me he would be here…"

"I'm sure they're fine… But… Maybe we should go look for them, just in case?"

"That's a good idea," Ashura answered, patting Tomoyo on the head and snapping her out of her thoughts.

'He only thinks of me as a little kid, even though I'm only two years younger than him,' she thought, rolling her eyes at the head pat but keeping the smile glued on her face.

There was no possible way that such a sunny day could feel so cold. It wasn't a sudden weather change, either. It was the atmosphere that surrounded the Sakura tree and the four people standing under it. Tomoyo and Ashura had found Fai and Kurogane, but it wasn't exactly a happy reunion.

Kurogane sat on the ground, back against the tree, Fai stood in front of him, and the two who had been searching stood off to the side a bit, not wanting to get involved in this… Well, what was it, really? It wasn't a fight… And Kurogane was the only one glaring… Fai was smiling happily, but there was a nervous and guilty edge to it.

They'd been standing there for about five minutes, and still, nobody had said a single word. Finally, Tomoyo took a step forward, peering from one man to the other, and asked, "What happened?"

Fai made a strange questioning noise and turned his head towards her, his smile growing. "Oh, I'm sorry, Tomoyo-chan, I didn't know you were there! But what do you mean? Nothing happened! Kuro-rin and I are just enjoying some time out in the sun!" Catching sight of his boyfriend, Fai gasped and put his hand over his mouth. "Ah! We had a date today, didn't we?" he asked, acting surprised. As if they didn't have some sort of 'date' (usually just hanging out in Fai, Kurogane, and Syaoran's dorm room, or just sitting outside) almost every day.

Taking one last worried glance at Kurogane, Fai waved and said, "Bye-bye, Kuro-tan!" before bouncing away with Ashura. The only reply was an annoyed grunt, although he was too far away by then to hear it, anyways.

Tomoyo sighed, walking over to sit next to Kurogane. "Well," she started, "That didn't work out very well, did it?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" The man asked, not bothering to look at her.

"I think you know what I mean," she said simply.

And then, they just sat in comfortable silence and stared up at the clouds.

A/N: Okay, um… This chapter sucks. Terribly. But I'm going to explain a few things now:

1. Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo are in their first year of college. Fai, Kurogane, and Ashura are in their third year.

2. To explain that last part… Although I didn't make Kurogane and Tomoyo siblings, they've known each other for a long time and basically think like siblings and understand each other… And also like siblings, they sometimes annoy the crap out of each other.

Anyways… Please review! Con-crit is greatly appreciated! I'll try to start getting updates up faster now, but I'm also working on a book with my friend called A Day in the Life. It doesn't have much of a point, but if you review, please tell me if you'd be interested in reading it on FictionPress...
