Title: Chapter 6


Chapter 6


"NO! She can't be-" ran through Tomoyo's mind but her mouth wasn't working and Sakura was still speaking.


"And I don't mean as a friend either. You are my special person and you are the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. You and only you. I think I've known this for a long time but it wasn't really clear to me until I refused Syaoran's offer of marriage. The one I want to marry is you! I was too shy to say it before now, but life and death battles make shyness seem silly. And so I'm glad that there are things trying to kill me as long as this keeps you by my side for as long as I may live."


"You are mistaken Sakura!" Tomoyo said in a somewhat panicky voice. "I know you are very fond of me, but you aren't in love with me. You can't be! I'm a girl! You need to find a nice young man and fall in love properly. You must!"


"I am not mistaken." Sakura stated firmly. "And I won't let you talk me out of it. I am as certain of my love for you as I am that I have Magic." This reminded Sakura of something. "And you can feel inside people's minds with your Magic. I heard Ieran say so. So reach into my mind and feel my love for you!" But Tomoyo was way too afraid of what she might find to do any such thing.


However Sakura wanted Tomoyo to accept the fact that she loved her so much, she unconsciously used her Magic to strongly send her feelings of love to the very sensitive Tomoyo. And since Sakura was inside of Tomoyo's shield, Tomoyo had no defense at all against such an attack. She was overcome with the power of Sakura's love and she could not prevent her love for Sakura from responding. And her love flowed back over the Magic link that Sakura had accidentally created, causing Sakura to feel her love for her childhood friend even more strongly. And this went back to Tomoyo amplifying her love. And so it spiraled out of control. In seconds, the two girls minds were filled to bursting with nothing but love and their spirits wound around each other as if trying to be one. There were no tricky words and nothing hidden anymore. How long they bathed in the ecstasy they had no idea. They were not aware of time at all.


This continued until they became exhausted, slowing the run away feedback loop until it broke. The two girls then fell into a deep almost coma like sleep.


Tomoyo's shield had collapsed, but Sakura's Shield Card was still protecting them; not that it mattered as they were not troubled by any threats during this night. And as they both were used to drawing on their Magic when tired, they recovered long before the time the alarm was set for.


Kero, of course, slept through the whole thing in his drawer.



Saturday July 29 6:00am Tokyo time


The alarm woke them up at the same moment and at the same time each realized that they could now feel the others mind. A link had been forged that now connected them together. And as they looked at one another they could each feel the others love. There was no hiding or denying it any longer.


"So you do love me." Sakura said with a soft smile. "But why did you hide it?"


"I didn't want you to be strange like me. I wanted you to have a normal life, and get married to a nice boy and have children."


"But you do realize that isn't going to happen now, don't you?" Sakura said firmly.


"Yes... I do now." Tomoyo admitted reluctantly. "But I never imagined that you could love me so much!"


"I did, and I do. And you love me at least as much. I can feel it. And it feels more wonderful than anything I have ever felt before." Sakura then suddenly rolled and before Tomoyo knew what was happening, the athletic girl was on top of her.


"You seem to have lost your shyness, Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said as she smiled up at the beautiful face of the girl she loved.


"I am not afraid of being embarrassed, or being rejected now that I know what you are feeling." And then Tomoyo was being kissed. By her Sakura-chan. And the feelings began to spiral again, but Tomoyo recognized what was happening and kept her feelings under control this time. However she still felt like she was totally immersed in Sakura's love and it made her want to scream with joy.


When Sakura finally broke the kiss and lay limp on top of her, Tomoyo spoke softly in her ear. "Careful, my...love."


"How incredibly wonderful this is! We are lovers now. And for always." This thought caused such a storm of love in her mind that it was a few seconds before she could speak again. "We need to hold back now or we will lose control again." she cautioned with tears of happiness in her eyes.


"And was that so bad?" Sakura asked as she bathed in the feeling of Tomoyo's love.


"Well no, but you wouldn't want to miss having breakfast and saying goodbye to your dad." At this point Tomoyo suddenly realized she didn't have her shield up. "Oh no!" she thought as her shield snapped into place, "I am a terrible bodyguard! That must never happen again!"


"Oh. Yeah, I remember now." So Sakura reluctantly rolled off the soft body of her love and put Shield away. I guess I could use some food too. I'm really hungry."


Then a few moments later as Sakura was deciding what to wear she felt soft arms slide around her. Clothing and food were forgotten as she turned around and put her arms around her Tomoyo-chan. When she gazed down at the lovely face only inches from her own, she realized that she hadn't seen such joy on Tomoyo's face since she was capturing the Cards. Now instead of her usual small smile, she was positively glowing with happiness. Then abruptly, Tomoyo's expression switched from a look of joy to one of pain.


"I told myself so very many times that this day would never come. That I was destined to be without you. All these years I wanted so much for you to have the perfect life that I had read about in books. I was -so- sure that if I just protected you from my feelings, you would have that life... But it seems I was wrong. You fell in love with me anyway. And I refused to see it. I was so blinded by my own vision of your perfect life that I would not see it. So fate turned everything around. Now, instead of you protecting me with your Magic, I protect you with my Magic. And instead of my love for you making your future, it is your love for me that has made my future." Sakura then ended Tomoyo's speech with a long slow kiss. "You are getting better at that, my wonderful Sakura-chan."


"I've thought about it a lot. And imagined how it would be. But I could still use more practice."


"My Sakura-chan wants to kiss me some more. And I can say "My Sakura-chan" now. And I am her Tomoyo-chan. I can feel her love like something solid wrapped tenderly around me. Such a heavenly feeling.... This is like...a dream. But she is real and right there, and so beautiful! But I must not let it carry me away. I must maintain some control. I must remember that I am still her bodyguard. But now I'm her lover too!" Once again, Tomoyo had tears of joy in her eyes.
