Link smiled. "Thanks Sakura. We should get going, we have to visit the Zoras and Gorons today."

"Who are they, Link-san?" Sakura asked curiously.

"The Gorons are the rock people who live in the mountain. The Zoras are fish people who live near Lake Hylia. Tomorrow we'll be visiting the Gerudo, a race of warrior women who live in the desert. I'll tell you about Ganondorf and Majora tonight if I can." Link walked over to the group of students who were already gathered, and warped them to Goron City.

Syaoran readied himself for the inevitable, keeping his keychain safely in his sweaty palm. He went over it in his head again, as he had been doing for the past few minutes, ever since Tomoyo had started the ball rolling. Once it starts, it can't stop until it reaches the bottom of the mountain. "Because... I love you. I love you, Sakura. I love you! I love you. I'm in love with you. You're my number one, Sakura. You're the one I love, Sakura. I have feelings for you like you do for Tourguide. Meilin said that she was engaged to me until I found a girl I loved more than her, and that girl is you. I love YOU, Sakura. I LOVE you." No matter how hard he tried, nothing sounded right.
Sakura was watching Tomoyo. Tomoyo was whispering something into Naoko's ear, after which the two girls, plus Chiharu and Rika, all fell into a heap laughing. Sakura felt different, so separate from all those girls. They were all so safe, so ignorant, with no trials in their lives except grades and boyfriends. Why couldn't Sakura be like them? So different... but Tomoyo was different too. She'd detached herself from their grade, devoted herself to Sakura, completely isolated herself from the world. If Sakura failed her, Tomoyo would have no one, but Tomoyo had put that trust into Sakura. But why? How could anyone feel so strongly about one person?
"Because... I love you."
Tomoyo had rolled the dice when she'd first picked up a camera, put herself and her life completely in Sakura's hands. But Sakura had let her fall.

The tour seemed to g by at lightning speed. Back at the village, Link saw Tomoyo standing by a tree, holding her video camera. He walked Over and paused. Finally, he spoke. "Hey, are you alright?"

Tomoyo turned, her long, silky black hair bouncing as she did so. Her finger drifted to the "stop" button on her camera as she gave Link a smile. "Of course, Link-san. Why would you think otherwise?" she asked sweetly.

"You didn't seem okay this morning. Do you want to talk about it?" Link asked, hoping for an affirmative. He was going to fix this.

Tomoyo's smile flickered only for a second. "I was a little annoyed that Li-kun wouldn't let me tape you three," Tomoyo said honestly. "But I'm really okay."

"Tomoyo, I was there, I saw what happened. You don't need to lie. Talk to me, please." Link was chancing a total lack of comforting skills. He had never had to do something like this before.

Tomoyo sighed deeply and met his eyes. "Link-san, what I said was true. I love Sakura-chan, and I have ever since I met her in the third grade. But... I don't need her to love me back for me to be happy. I care about her happiness more than her being with me." She muttered the last bit, so quiet it was hard to hear, "Of course, I would be thrilled if she loved me back, but Sakura-chan loves Li-kun and there's nothing I can do about it."

Link smiled, this was going to work. "I think that you should tell Sakura that, she's really worried about you. I'll be there for moral support if you need it."

"Sakura-chan... is worried about me?" Tomoyo frowned. "I don't want her to feel bad because of me. Do you know where she is?"

"She's over by the inn, talking to some of your school friends. Before you go, I want to trow out on idea. Do you want to hear it?"

Tomoyo gave a nod. "Sure, Link-san. What?"

"You said that you would be happy if Sakura is happy. Tomorrow is Valentines Day, and we can put some...things in motion. What do you say?"
