Have you ever loved two people so much that all you ever wanted was for them to be happy? I love my best friend, and dear cousin, Sakura Kinomoto. I always wanted to be there for her and help her out. While she was capturing the Clow Cards, I made sure to make her battle costumes to protect her in battle and record her adventures so we can always relive the good times. I continued to do that while she was transforming the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards. I was there to cover for her from her suspicious and overly protective, brother Touya Kinomoto and support her and give her words of advice for her crush on her brother's best friend, Yukito Tsukishiro.

When I found out Syaoran Li had a crush on my best friend, I knew had to get them together. But I had already fallen in love with him since we had first become friends. I felt a little envious of his cousin Meiling Li for being able to show her affection for him more boldly than I. Still, I did nothing to show my true feelings around him. I knew he couldn't help but fall in love with my cute little Sakura-chan; it's hard not to love her. When Meiling-chan came and told me Syaoran-kun told her he loved Sakura-chan, I knew how she was feeling and comforted her the best I could. I knew Sakura-chan loved him too—she just hadn't realized it yet. But like Meiling-chan, I knew there was nothing I could do to keep them separated since they deserved each other and were fated to be together. Even though I knew Syaoran-kun's feelings toward Sakura-chan, I couldn't help but love him more as he showed his determination to protect her. It hurt me to help him get Sakura-chan, but they belonged together and I couldn't separate them.

Now it's been five years since our card adventures were over. Syaoran-kun moved back in our last year of middle school and he and Sakura-chan have been happily together ever since. I decided to keep my feelings for him locked up. I could never forgive myself if I ruined their happiness by my idiotic attraction to my best friend's number one person. No, I feel happy watching them smile at each other in silence. Neither aware of my feelings or how my heart aches when I see them pass by holding hands or show their affection. It's better if they remain oblivious of my feelings.

"Tomoyo-chan, are you coming with us? Tomoyo-chan?" Tomoyo snapped out of her trance and came face to face with jade green eyes staring at her with worry in their depths. They were in Tomoyo's bedroom hanging out after school.

"Sorry, Sakura-chan, I was spacing out. What were you saying?"

"I was saying that Eriol-kun wrote me a letter saying he was coming back to study in Japan. Do you want to come with Syaoran-kun and I to pick him up at the airport?" Sakura explained with a cheery smile. Tomoyo glanced at Syaoran and blushed when their eyes met. She turned her attention back to Sakura before either could notice.

"Sure thing, Sakura-chan. It'll be nice to see Hiiragizawa-kun again. Are Akizuki-san and Suppi-chan coming too?"

"Yup. Nakuru-chan is excited to see Touya-nii-chan again. I guess karma is getting back at him for teasing me all the time. She even applied to his college," she said giggling.

"And Suppi-chan will be staying with her and Eriol-kun."

"What did I hear? Suppi's coming?" Kero yelled emerging from Sakura's bag. Tomoyo and Sakura nodded.

"Yeah! Now I can challenge him to the new games Sakura bought for me over the years! He's not gonna beat me so easily this time!" The guardian said with determination in his eyes. The two girls laughed.

"Daidouji-san, are you okay? You seemed spaced out before," Syaoran said, addressing Tomoyo. She smiled at him.

"I'm fine, Li-kun. I was just thinking about how my mom will come home from her business trip today, that's all," she lied.

"Really? She's coming home?" Sakura said with excitement. Tomoyo just nodded. "Hooray! I haven't seen Sonomi-san in a while. Hey, do you mind if I come over early tomorrow to say hi to her? I would wait for her tonight but, it's my turn to cook."

"It's fine, Sakura-chan. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you before we go to see Hiiragizawa-kun." Sakura smiled at her best friend.

"Thank you!" Sakura said glomping Tomoyo. She glanced at her wristwatch. "Hoe, I better get going before it gets too late," Sakura said, letting go of Tomoyo and getting up. Kero took the cue and went back into Sakura's bag.

"I'll walk you home," Syaoran offered, also getting up.

"Thank you, Syaoran-kun. But don't you need to get home early too?"

"No, I'm fine. Wei is out enjoying his day off so I'm in no rush."

"Alright," Sakura said, smiling at her boyfriend and linked hands with him. Tomoyo walked her two friends to the door.

"You two be careful on your way home, okay?" she said, smiling as she watched them leave hand in hand.

"All right. See you tomorrow, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura waved with her free hand.

"See you, Daidouji-san," Syaoran said smiling, causing Tomoyo to blush slightly but waved to them nonetheless.

Once they left through the gate and turned the corner, Tomoyo went inside and closed the door. She went back to her room to finish her latest design. She sighed after a while and put down her sketchbook and pencil, not being able to concentrate with a certain amber-eyed boy in her head and all the events of the day that happened involving him.

"It's no use. I want them to be happy. But I can't stop my feelings for him," Tomoyo said to no one in particular. She stared out her window not realizing how dark it was getting. She didn't bother turning on the light. She turned her head towards the door when she heard knocking coming from the other side.

"Come in." The door opened to reveal her mother still dressed in her work clothes.

"Hey, Tomoyo, honey. I'm home. Why are you in the dark?" she asked flipping the switch next to her before making her way to her daughter.

"No reason. Welcome back, Okaa-san," she said getting up from her desk to hug her mother. Sonomi looked over to her desk to see her daughter's drawing. She let her go to pick up the picture.

"This is beautiful Tomoyo. Is it another one for Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo nodded.

"It's for her next big date with Li-kun. She told me not to make her anything, but I can't help it. She's so kawaii! Plus it'll be big since it's gonna be their third year anniversary since Li-kun came back. They're gonna celebrate it by going to the Cherry Blossom Festival so I'm making her a new Yukata."

"Those two are so cute together."

"Yeah," Tomoyo said a little sadly. Her mother smiled at her daughter.

"You still love him, don't you?" Tomoyo looked up at her mother. She never told anyone she loved Syaoran, but somehow Sonomi knew.

"How long have you known?" Sonomi put a finger under her chin almost as to think back.

"Hmm, pretty much since you first figured it out too, I guess. I noticed how you slightly changed when he was around or when he was mentioned." Tomoyo blushed again.

"Oh. I hadn't noticed I had."

"Don't worry, neither of them knows. You're still safe. Do you plan on telling them?"

Tomoyo shook her head. "If I do it would cause them problems. Things are better this way."

"Better for you or them?"

"Both I guess. I'm happy just seeing them smile and be happy." Sonomi smiled at Tomoyo.

"They're lucky to have a friend like you, my dear Tomoyo. I hope you will find someone who will make you as happy as Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan are," Sonomi said, hugging Tomoyo tightly.

"Thank you Okaa-san. It'll be tough though. I've liked him for so long."

"I know, my dear. But have faith. He's out there. Hey, how about we go out to eat tonight?"

"Sure, I'll grab my purse."

"Want to go shopping tomorrow, too? It's Sunday so you have no school right?"

"Gomen ne, I can't tomorrow. Sakura-chan, Li-kun and I are going to pick up our friend Hiiragizawa-kun at the airport tomorrow and spend the day with him."

"Aww too bad. I wanted to spend quality time with my daughter," Sonomi said, pouting. Tomoyo giggled at her mother.

"We can do it another time. And I can invite Sakura-chan so we can have a girl's night out."

"Sounds perfect," Sonomi said from the doorway to wait for Tomoyo as she put everything she needed in her purse.

"Oh which reminds me, Sakura-chan said she's coming early to say hi to you before we leave."

"I can't wait. Will Syaoran-kun be with her too?"

"Most likely. Okay, I'm ready!"

"Great, let's go!"

Meanwhile, back in England, a certain navy blue-haired boy was already on his way to Japan on a plane.

"Can you believe it? We're finally going back! I can't wait to see Touya again!" Nakuru bounced beside him. Eriol just smiled at the guardian. "It's a shame they destroyed our house to build that theme park. But I liked the new house you picked either way."

"I'm glad you do. You get to decorate your room however you want."

"Thank you, Eriol!" Nakuru said, hugging the magician.

"Eriol, what made you decide to go back? Weren't you and Kaho going on great?" Spinel Sun said. He was sitting on Eriol's lap reading what his master was. He stayed still enough to be mistaken for a stuffed toy so it was no problem to have him out.

"That is true. But we found it better to go after the one we truly love."

"In other words, you couldn't return her feelings."

"Sadly, no. Another girl has been invading my mind for years now and I can't hide it much longer. Kaho wished me luck and said she will also find someone else. Although, Nakuru better be careful. I know she still has feelings for the Card Mistress's brother."

"What was that?" Nakuru perked at the mention of Touya and took out one of her earphones.

"It's nothing. You should sleep. You'll need your energy for tomorrow."

"Eriol, you should know I don't technically need sleep."

"Maybe not your true form but your temporary form, yes."

"You're right. Good night, Eriol, Suppi."

"I told you not to call me that," Spinel said in annoyance. Nakuru giggled and put her earphone piece back on to listen to soothing music before falling asleep.

Eriol and Spinel continued reading until Spinel fell asleep himself. Eriol smiled at his guardians and covered them with the blankets provided by the flight attendants. He placed a bookmark where they left off before putting the book away and cover himself and Spinel.

"Good night, Tomoyo. I'll see you tomorrow," he said softly before falling asleep too.
