My name is not CLAMP, and I don't want to offend,
But I did not wish for the CCS story to end.
So here I am now, with a fanfic for you to see,
And I'll continue this story the way I think it should be.
Since CLAMP had done a fabulous job,
An actual ending would cause me to sob.
If you were to sue me it would be such a shamer,
`Cause after all this is, a Legal Disclaimer. Grin
Card Captor Sakura: The Continued
(Ashita he no MELODY/Melody for Tomorrow is playing)
"I LOVE YOU." Sakura cried as she leapt from where she had stood a moment ago. Her jump brought her sailing in to Syaoran's arms as he stood at his edge of the gap in the clock tower's stairs. Once Sakura's arms reached his, Syaoran pulled her close to him in a joyous embrace, even though the momentum of her leap sent them both falling backwards in laughter. Syaoran and Sakura continued to laugh as they blushed slightly from the awkward tumble that now had them lying on the floor. Syaoran grinned as he sat up and proceeded to help Sakura up.
"I was so afraid." Sakura confessed, "I thought you had lost all your feelings for me." Her eyes begin to water once again at the idea, but in her heart she knew everything was okay. Syaoran saw her reflecting on the thought of what could have been. He instinctively held her close to him as he whispered gently.
"Sakura, I will always love you." Syaoran's words sent a fire of emotions into her heart. Sakura hugged him tighter as her face wore a smile that was brighter than the sun. Syaoran continued to speak as he felt her happiness radiate through the hug. "With you, no matter what happens, everything will surely be alright."
Syaoran hesitated breaking the hug that he and his beloved Sakura were presently enjoying, but he knew that more important matters needed to be dealt with currently.
"We should return to the festival." Syaoran advised. Sakura's bright green eyes focused on his brown ones as she drew away from his grasp.
"Yeah," she agreed, "We should make sure everyone is alright." They stood together, hand in hand as they made their way down and out of the tower. After they had exited, Sakura turned and looked back at the tower. Void's damage had been undone, and there were no longer holes or damage anywhere to be seen. Sakura and Syaoran made their way out of the theme park, smiling happily at the new day.
"Sakura-chan!" Yukito shouted as he ran to them with the tiny Kero in his grip. "Are you both alright?" he questioned them with worry in his eyes and voice.
"Yes Yukito-san," Sakura beamed, "Everything is wonderful." Syaoran gave them his smile of approval as well.
"We can all discuss what happened later," piped the voice of Kero, "We need to first get the three of you back to the festival." Yukito, Sakura and Syaoran nodded in agreement as they rushed back to the location of the play.
Tomoyo and Meiling had just arrived to the festival after walking back from the top of a building. They had awakened there when the dawn's light spread through the sky. Neither could remember what had happened after they were last with Sakura, Syaoran, Yue and Kero. They were now standing beside the stage looking for their friends.
"I hope nothing happened to them." Meiling shivered.
"Of course not." Tomoyo simply stated with her smile. "After all, it is Sakura-chan."
Meiling nodded, her fears now lessened by Tomoyo's faith. Three figures caught the girl's eyes. Tomoyo quickly switched on her ever-ready camcorder and filmed the triumphant return of the heroes.
"Tomoyo-chan, Meiling-chan." Sakura called to them as her, Syaoran and Yukito dashed towards them.
"It makes me so happy to see Sakura-chan's smiling face." Tomoyo dreamily sighed.
"You must have defeated the card, Kinomoto." Meiling proudly stated.
"Yes, I did." Sakura held up the new card for everyone to see.
"Oh my!" Tomoyo gasped, turning off her camcorder, "We need to do something about the play." The group's eyes widened with realization just before everyone scurried behind the stage. Yukito left Kero with Tomoyo has he wandered to the front of the stage.
From the audience seats, the sleepy onlookers slowly stirred from their nap. Those that were already awake simply sat and whispered quietly with puzzled expressions. Kinomoto Fujitaka and Daidouji Sonomi were still sitting side by side in their seats; Sonomi was trying to ignore Fujitaka while he softly smiled at her.
"Hey, Yuki." Touya stepped beside his friend and placed his hand upon his shoulder.
"Oh Touya!" Yukito turned and gave his friend a warm smile. Just before either could speak, the sound of a loudspeaker was heard.
"Thank you for that brief intermission ladies and gentlemen." Tomoyo's sweet voice rang though the air. "But now we are back, with the stunning conclusion of our play." The audience's attention was turned toward the stage as the curtains were drawn aside. Sakura and Syaoran were once again standing before everyone wearing their costumes from the play. Sonomi swiftly snapped her fingers and once again her employed bodyguards were professionally video taping the scene
"The magical stone had been destroyed." Sakura's voice pierced the air, "And our families have been rescued from its powerful influence." She turned to face toward Syaoran with her hands held firmly to her heart. "Now, there is no reason for us to hide our love for one another." Syaoran took a step toward Sakura and held his arms out for her.
"I love you princess." Syaoran stated firm and unmistaken.
"I love you too!" Sakura accepted his embrace once again.
Everyone in the audience clapped and cheered at this beautiful finale, except for Touya.
"That little brat!" Touya gritted his teeth and raised his fist while scowling at Syaoran.
"Don't worry Touya," Yukito soothed his friend, "Sakura-chan will be alright." Touya could only look at Yukito's winning smile.
The curtains closed and again reopened to show the entire cast of the play bowing before the cheering crowd. Sakura and Syaoran stepped forward, hand in hand and took a bow together. The cheering grew louder and was followed by a rainfall of flowers for Sakura and Syaoran.
The stage was cleared of the cast, as the members of the play made their way to waiting family and friends. Yukito, Touya, Sonomi and Fujitaka stood patiently as Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Meiling came to greet them.
"Oh Sakura-chan!" Sonomi exclaimed with stars in her eyes, "You were absolutely beautiful." Sonomi yet again snapped her fingers and four bodyguards presented a sweat-dripping Sakura with enormous bouquets of flowers. Fujitaka and Yukito simply nodded in agreement with Sonomi. Touya stood with his arms crossed and glared at Syaoran.
"You make a better prince than a princess brat." Touya's comment was directed at Syaoran. Syaoran's only reply was a smug smile and his hand firmly griped with Sakura's.
"Oh no!" Sonomi wailed, "I need to leave for a meeting." Her hand rose to her cheek and she frowned.
"I must also leave for work." Sakura's father glanced at his watch and confirmed. "I will see you later tonight after I am home." He reassured his daughter.
Sonomi and Fujitaka for a second time congratulated the stars before they both left for work. Sakura and Tomoyo waved to their parents as each drove out of sight.
"I didn't know monsters could act." Touya teased Sakura.
"What did you say?!" Sakura fumed at his comment.
"Now Touya," Yukito interrupted, "Don't you and I need to return to the parlor our college put together?" Yukito smiled as he winked at Sakura. She calmed herself and smiled back at him while he shooed Touya away.
"Sakura-chan and Li-kun must be very tired from fighting `the Void' all night." Tomoyo chimed while grasping her dear friend's hand. "We should all go to my home so that we may speak in private and you shall rest from your heroic adventure." Meiling and Syaoran glanced first at each other, then at Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero. They all agreed with the idea, so to the Daidouji residence they went.
At the Daidouji residence, Tomoyo and Meiling sat quietly on the light green couch, talking and sipping tea in her bedroom. Kero sat on the nearby coffee table shoveling down an entire cake.
"After Kinomoto-san and Syaoran have gotten up, we can discuss what happened with the card." Meiling concluded.
"Yes," agreed Tomoyo, "But I was unfortunate not to video tape Sakura-chan's captivating capture or confession." Tomoyo frowned but then grinned mischievously. "But a Sakura-chan expression after awakening beside Li-kun should be most rewarding." The two girls giggled devilishly as they recollected their prank of placing a sleeping Sakura and Syaoran together in the same bed. The giggling halted and then resumed as the sound of a `Hoeee!' was heard through the large house. Moments later the door to the room was opened and a very red faced Sakura and Syaoran stepped though the door way. They sat beside each other, near a smiling Tomoyo and Meiling. Both still had red faces, and an expression of pure embarrassment while their eyes only looked at the floor. Tomoyo was the first to break the silence.
"Did Sakura-chan and Li-kun sleep well?" she evilly inquired.
"Y-yeah." The simultaneous response came from the blushing couple. Kero changed the subject as he shoved the last piece of his cake into his mouth.
"Now that everyone is here," he swallowed, "We can discuss more about this business with the card." Everyone's attention turned as Sakura retrieved `The Hope' card from her pocket and begin the details of the battle.
"I'm not sure I fully understand all of this." Contemplated a puzzled Kero. Before anyone else spoke a knock was heard at the door.
"Miss Daidouji," Tomoyo's maid peered in, "There are three guests at the door for you." Tomoyo's eyebrows rose.
"Please send them in." Tomoyo replied.
"Yes ma'am," The maid shut the door. Just as Sakura and Syaoran opened their mouths, the door reopened.
The faces in the room turned to disbelief as Eriol Hiiragizawa, Kaho Mizuki and Nakuru Akizuki holding Spinel Sun stepped into the room. It wasn't long before the surprise died down and the four new guests were served some tea as well.
"We were all quite worried for you Sakura-san." Eriol explained the sudden arrival." But we are pleased to see that all is well."
"Yes," Sakura nodded, "But now we are trying to figure out how it happened." Eriol received the card from Sakura's hand and looked at it carefully.
"I believe I know what has happened." Eriol handed the card back to Sakura.
"You do?" Kero scratched his head. "Why don't you tell us then?"
"It is quite legitimate in fact." Eriol explained. "You see, after Sakura-san defeated my magic, she became more powerful than I, and therefore Clow Reed. Since Clow Reed's magic created `The Void', something solely created by Sakura-san's magic would be able to over power anything created by Clow Reed." Everyone nodded in agreement with his reason. "Sakura-san's fear was so strong, that the nameless card was combined and transformed into a new card, hence `The Hope'. This newly created card halted any further destruction from `The Void." Eriol gazed at the new couple as they blushed. "But you really never had anything to worry about Sakura-san." Eriol commented.
"Why is that Eriol-kun?" Sakura pondered.
"Because, you are Sakura-san, and everything will always be alright." Eriol smiled.
"Hoe?" Sakura replied her ever-so-famous remark.
The cozy group of friends burst with laughter at Sakura and her cute little self. For the rest of that day and evening the nine friends chatted about events of the past and to come.
All were unaware that in a different time and place, someone was waiting and planned for something that no one could expect.
But I did not wish for the CCS story to end.
So here I am now, with a fanfic for you to see,
And I'll continue this story the way I think it should be.
