SourPop1004: Sigh.I'm afraid this is the last chapter of The Intern. I
know.the pain. anyway, thanks for reviewing and waiting for the next
chapter to come out! I'm touched that people actually like my story. I know
it's only a story but I feel so. sad that it's ending. But with a new
determination in mind, I'll write The Salsa Dancer with more butt-kicking
action and romance. So I want to thank you all for reviewing and standing
next to The Intern. It was a wonderful experience writing The Intern. Thank
you so much. Thank yous will be at the end of the chapter. ~*
Ps. This chapter's very let loose, funny, and just plain dandy. Hehe.so enjoy.
Pps. Sorry if the update took a while. I like dislocated my finger and it's HARD to type. It takes me 3 times as slower to type my usual speed.

Sakura's black blouse and skirt blew in the breeze. The orange, yellow, and red leaves were gently falling all around her. The sun seeped through the treetops and shined across the smooth grass. Sakura turned to the group of mourners who were leaving. Soon as the group left, Sakura walked over to the tombstone covered with fresh flowers. She knelt down and gazed at the floor.
"May you rest in peace, Heero."
Sakura kissed the single white rose and placed it on the grass in front of the stone. She stood up and gave her last gaze at the grave. She turned and saw Syaoran in a black suit standing next to a large oak tree. He looked at her with soft eyes. The two walked to Syaoran's car and both got in. Once in the car, Syaoran turned to Sakura.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah." Sakura smiled turning to face him. "I know Heero is in heaven right now."
Syaoran smiled back and drove off into the empty street.
***
Tomoyo was over at Eriol's house. Sakura's roommates were all out. They were all back to normal after Tomoyo and Sakura explained all the things that had happened in the past two or three weeks. Well, the friends stayed normal, but not the press. For some reason, there were paparazzi popping out in random places to take pictures of Sakura and Syaoran. And reporters and photographers always mobbed the house of 5 girls. Sakura thought that the press would clear out after the press conference but she guessed wrong.
Sakura and Syaoran pulled up in front of Sakura's house. Sakura said good bye to Syaoran and got out of the car. She waved at him as he drove off into the busy streets. Sakura turned around and found a little mob of people with recorders, cameras, and little notepads. They rushed towards her with flashing lights and a ton of questions. It had been a week and Sakura was pretty used to the whole thing. She hoped that it'd die out sometime but apparently it wasn't. Sakura walked past the group and got out her keys. She unlocked the door and went in trying to ignore the reporters. She quickly slipped in and shut the door and locked it. She breathed a sigh as she dragged herself over to the couch and plopped down. She had just come back from a funeral. She didn't need all this. She lay down on the couch and closed her eyes as she rested her arm over her face. Just then her cell phone rang. She picked it up nonchalantly.
"Moshi, moshi."
"Sakura? This is Syaoran."
"Oh hey! What's up?"
"Yeah, I just needed some advice. You know I'm going on a date today with Crimson? I was wondering if you can come with us."
"What? It's you guys' date, I shouldn't intrude." A small smile crossed her lips as the thought of Syaoran with Crimson in a restaurant.
"Please? I can't do this alone. Please.she eat me alive." Syaoran begged.
"Sorry."
"Oh alright. But beware when I come back. I'll pay you back for this."
"Ok. You can try." Sakura teased. "Bye."
"I'll call you later."
The phone clicked and hung up. Sakura closed the phone and slipped it onto the coffee table. She went back to her before state, just lying there with her eyes closed. Just as she was about to drift to sleep, the phone rang again.
"Moshi moshi." Sakura replying into the phone once more.
"Sakura, this is Crimson. I just needed to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"What's Syaoran like? I know he's all hot and stuff but is there anything I should know about him?"
"Well." An evil smile played on her lips. "I think he likes everything you do, so take him out to clubs, concerts, anything YOU want to do."
"Awesome. Thanks Sakura! You're such a sweetie! Bye now." Crimson happily hung up the phone.
"Am I that much of a little sweetie?" Sakura asked herself with an evil grin. It'd been a long day. She needed some fun. And what more fun can there be other than playing a joke on Syaoran.
***
Next morning, Sakura made her way through the parking lot trying to find a spot. The parking lot of the TPD was packed with camera vans. Sakura found a spot in the way back and parked her white Lexus. She walked back all the way to the front entrance.
She flung open the door. Her white peasant top swished with the rush of air. She stared with wide eyes at the reporters and newsmen. They were currently packed in one hallway, outside of Syaoran's office. Sakura tried to sneak by but one of the reporters spotted her. The reporter waved a pointing finger wildly towards Sakura. Soon the whole pack of them were charging towards her with flashing cameras and all. Sakura staggered back overwhelmed. She quickly pulled herself together and ran in any direction. The mob of people were chasing her down the different corridors. After a few minutes, it seemed hopeless. She was about to stop and give up when someone grabbed her from behind the corner and pulled her to him.
"After what you did to me last night, I can't believe I'm here saving your butt." Syaoran replied with a smirk.
Sakura's ears went red. Before she could say anything, he grabbed her hand and ran down the hall.
Soon they were outside. They had gone through the back entrance of the station. The two ran into Syaoran's car, which was the closest parked. They hopped in and drove out of the parking lot before any of the reporters could reach them.
They were both driving down the street with no specific destination. Breaking the silence, Sakura laughed.
"What's so funny?" Syaoran asked glancing over at Sakura.
"So, what exactly did you guys do last night on your date? I'm dying to know."
"Well, if you must know, we went to dinner in this Italian restaurant." Syaoran replied.
"That's it? Where's the fun in that?"
".and then we went to this concert. The Slayers or whatever their name was playing. I was surrounded by raving lunatics. I still have no idea what was so 'hot' about one of the guys in the band. Anyway, for one thing, you'll never see those black shoes of mine ever again. Someone managed to chuck up their dinner all over my shoes. Anyway, then we went to a nightclub.please, don't get me started on that ." Syaoran finished with a hint of irritation in his voice.
Sakura tried to keep a straight face. "Maybe I shouldn't have suggested those things to Crimson." Sakura whispered.
"You WHAT?!" Syaoran screeched the car to a stop and stared at her. "Please tell me you were NOT behind all this."
"Ok, I wasn't behind all this." Sakura answered innocently.
Syaoran just glared at her. He turned back towards the street and started up the car again. As he pulled the car back into the street, Syaoran's cell rang. Sakura picked it up for him and answered.
"Moshi, moshi. Li-san's phone."
"Oh, Kinomoto, this is Daidouji."
"Hi. How may I help you?"
"Just calling to let you guys know that the president is presenting an award to you, Hiragizawa, and Li personally."
"HOE! Really?" Sakura asked astonished.
"Yes, so tonight at 7, formal dress at the Tokyo Highland Five Star Hotel. Got it? I'm calling Tomoyo, Hiragizawa, and Sonomi as well. So you just worry about being there with Li."
"Hai! See you at seven." Sakura closed the phone with a smile.
"Who was it?"
"Daidouji."
"What did he want?"
"We're getting awarded for our services to the country of Japan and the rest of the world." Sakura answered with a dutiful look on her face. She just laughed.
"Ok."
Sakura explained everything to Syaoran. He just looked blank by it all. He checked his watch. It was 9:43 am.
"Are you hungry?" Syaoran asked.
"Yeah.I mean, with all the running and all, I am hungry. And also, I didn't eat anything for breakfast."
"Alright. Let's go grab a bite." Syaoran turned the car around and headed back down the street that they were coming from. Sakura's phone rang. She took it out of her purse.
"Hello?"
"Sakura!!! It's me, Tomoyo! I just heard from father about the ceremony!"
"Yeah." Sakura pulled the phone away form her. Tomoyo was being incredibly loud and this was never good. She always got loud and happy when something was up. Like a fashion show, or a big sale at the mall, or worst of all, if it included dressing Sakura up.
"So, we HAVE to get you a dress!" Tomoyo chirped with pure bliss. "Let's meet somewhere."
"Syaoran and I are heading towards Yumi's Diner."
"Ok, Eriol and I will meet you there. Bye!" Tomoyo hung up with excitement.
"Oh no." Sakura shook her head in pity for herself.
"Tomoyo?"
"Yeah." Sakura replied with a sigh. "We're meeting them at the place." Sakura stared out the window. This would be fun, except she'd never hear the end of it from Tomoyo.
***
The hotel lobby was lighted up with an elegant chandelier. The crystals sparkled brilliantly. Men in tuxedos and women in beautiful dresses filled the room. They were quietly sharing small talk. The doors to the main room were closed for now. It was only 6:30.
Eriol, Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran arrived in two separate cars. The guys were dressed in tuxedos while the girls were in shimmery dresses. Tomoyo was in a cream-colored spaghetti strap slinky that came just over her knees. Her hair was curled and rested freely behind her back. She had a single diamond pin on the side of her head, which sparkled under the soft light. Sakura was dressed in an off the shoulder black slinky that hung all the way down to her ankles where her high heel black sandals were. There was a long slit going up her left leg. The back of the dress was bare and showed her white skin. Sakura tied half her hair up with a black rime stone pin.
When they entered, Sakura with Syaoran and Tomoyo with Eriol, everyone went silent and turned towards them. The four walked in quietly. Just then, the doors to the main room swung open and instantly, the men and women poured into the other room.
***
Everyone had enjoyed their dinner and was waiting for the ceremony to begin. Syaoran got up and excused himself.
"Hurry back, the ceremony starts in 25 minutes." Eriol whispered to Syaoran.
Syaoran nodded. He got up and made his way out the door. Syaoran made his way to the elevator and went inside soon as the metal doors slid open. He pressed the button and was soon on his way to the rooftop.
Sakura's black rime stone purse started to vibrate on her lap. She had left the cell phone on vibrate so she wouldn't disturb the ceremony if the phone were to ring. She got up and excused herself. Some people stared at her while the other half just talked away. She turned pink and went outside to the lobby.
She quickly took out her phone.
"Hello?"
"Sakura?"
"Syaoran? Where are you?" Sakura asked.
"I'm on the roof top. Can you meet me here?"
"What? The ceremony starts really soon." Sakura exclaimed in surprise.
"Just come up. Ok? I'll be waiting."
Sakura closed the phone and put it back in her purse. She went to the elevator and went inside wondering what Syaoran was up to.
When Sakura got there, the sky was dark and draped with stars. Syaoran was standing near the edge of the building looking out at the lighted city.
"Syaoran, I don't understand. What are you doing up here?" Sakura asked as she approached him.
Syaoran turned around and looked at her. "Do you what this is?" Syaoran held out a diamond ring in his hand. The white gold ring glimmered with the diamond sparkling under the moonlight.
"A-are you asking w-what I think you're a-asking?" Sakura asked astonished.
"Yes but kind of a no. I know if I asked you, you would say yes. But I want you to finish school, fulfil your dream as a doctor and then marry me."
Sakura was speechless.
"So, till then, I want you to wear this." Syaoran took out a thin white gold chain from his pocket and slipped the ring into the chain. He moved infront of her. He bent down to place the chain around her neck as kissed her. Sakura just closed her eyes and relaxed.
"I love you, Li Syaoran." Sakura mumbled under the kiss.
Syaoran pulled away. "Of course you do. Who wouldn't?" Syaoran asked teasingly.
"Augh! You ruined it. You totally ruined the moment." Sakura pouted childishly.
Syaoran wrapped his arms around her slender waist. Sakura rested her head on his shoulder and slowly swayed form side to side as if they were dancing.
"Don't you think we should go back? They'll be looking for us." Sakura asked as she closed her eyes, forgetting everything around her except Syaoran.
"I don't think they'll mind." Syaorna replied as he kissed her top of her head.
There was silence.
"You know what?" Syaoran asked.
"What?"
"You better hurry and become a doctor. Cause God knows I can't wait for you to be mine permanently." Syaoran laughed.
Sakura smiled. " Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
***
The room was in a panic. Their main attraction was missing. Everyone was buzzing with questions. Eriol and Tomoyo looked at each other. Eriol flipped out his phone and called Syaoran's number.
"Syaoran??" Eriol asked into the phone.
"Yeah?"
"Where are you? Everyone's going crazy."
"I'm in the car."
"Is Sakura there too?"
"Yeah."
"Come on Syaoran? Where are you guys going?"
"We're going to a place to have fun, so please excuse me but." Syaoran hung up and took out the battery of the phone and tossed it to the back seat.
"So where are we going?" Sakura asked him curiously.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Hmm." Sakura thought hard before brightening up with a smile. "There's a carnival in town a few miles from here." She suggested thoughtfully.
"Shall we?" Syaornan asked.
Sakura nodded with a smile. The two drove off into the night, formal tuxes, dresses and all.

"May you rest in peace, Heero."
Sakura kissed the single white rose and placed it on the grass in front of the stone. She stood up and gave her last gaze at the grave. She turned and saw Syaoran in a black suit standing next to a large oak tree. He looked at her with soft eyes. The two walked to Syaoran's car and both got in.
