"Yes, Syaoran. It's really me." the person said. Syaoran gently touched the person's face.
"I can't believe it. Sakura!! It really is you!!" Syaoran said happily.
"Yes, Syaoran. It's really me!" Sakura said, smiling happily at Syaoran. Syaoran was speechless. He suddenly hugged Sakura in a warm embrace. Syaoran and Sakura separated. He took a step back and looked at her. She was wearing a long white dress that reached her ankles with lace lining
the hem of the skirt. Her face was absolutely glowing.
"Sakura, you look like you came from heaven." Syaoran said.
"That's because I _did_ come from heaven." Sakura said, giggling a little. Syaoran was confused by what she said. He disregarded it and shook his head.
"Sakura. Why did you commit suicide?" Syaoran asked, becoming serious.
"Well, one day, I was planning to tell you how I really felt about you, but when I wanted to tell you, Kristi was there. At first, I thought it was nothing. But then I saw you kiss her. When I saw that, I thought I had lost you. I thought you already loved Kristi. My heart was broken into a million pieces that could never be mended back together. I figured that since you love Kristi, there was no reason for me to exist anymore. I figured that if I ended my existence, I'd save myself from all the pain I'd be going through when I saw you. So...I killed myself." Sakura explained, avoiding Syaoran's eyes. Syaoran took hold of Sakura's trembling hands.
"Sakura. You made a huge mistake. First of all, Kristi kissed _me_. I had no intention of kissing her. When I tried to pull away from her, she held on to me tighter and wouldn't let go. And when you died, _my_ heart was broken into a million pieces. I couldn't believe that my sweet cherry blossom was gone." Syaoran said. "And I'm sorry. I should've told you sooner." Syaoran said, lowering his gaze from Sakura's eyes to the ground beneath him. Sakura looked at him curiously.
"Should've told me what?" Sakura asked. Syaoran looked back at Sakura.
"I...I should've told you...that...I love you." Syaoran said. Sakura's emerald eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Oh, Syaoran!!" Sakura said as she hugged him tightly. They separated and Sakura looked into Syaoran's amber eyes. Tears were now falling from her eyes. Without warning, Sakura's lips pressed against Syaoran's lips. Syaoran was surprised at first, but soon relaxed and gave into the kiss. They parted and looked at each other lovingly. Syaoran's face soon became puzzled.
"Sakura. Were you really in heaven?" Syaoran asked. Though he didn't want to admit it, it was really hard for him to believe that Sakura was in heaven.
"Yes, Syaoran. I really was in heaven. And when I was there, that's when I realized that I had made the biggest mistake of my life." Sakura said.
"What mistake was that?" Syaoran asked.
"My mistake was that I left you." Sakura answered sadly. A tear slowly slid down her cheek. Syaoran wiped it away.
"Still, how do I really know that you were in heaven?" Syaoran asked skeptically.
"You just don't know when to quit, do you, Syaoran?" Sakura said, placing her hands on her hips. Suddenly, a bright light appeared next to Sakura. The bright light soon took on a form. Syaoran gasped.
"Y...yo...you..you're..." Syaoran stuttered. Nadeshiko giggled.
"Yes. I'm Sakura's mother." Nadeshiko said softly. "Sakura was in heaven with me. While she was up there, she realized how much she missed her friends and family. She realized how much she wanted to be with you." Syaoran looked at Sakura and smiled. "When she realized that it was not yet her time to be in heaven, I was able to send her back...back to where she _really_ belongs." Nadeshiko said kindly. "Syaoran, my daughter loves you very much. She deserves a kind, strong,
funny, and handsome man such as you. Please, take care of her. She deserves nothing but the best." Syaoran smiled.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of her. You have my word." Syaoran said, smiling at Nadeshiko. Nadeshiko smiled back. She slowly became a bright light and disappeared. Sakura and Syaoran smiled at each other. Suddenly, Syaoran gasped.
"Syaoran? What's wrong?" Sakura asked, become worried.
"Come with me, Sakura." Syaoran said. He took Sakura by the hand and led her towards the shrine.
***In the shrine***
Tomoyo, Eriol, and Meilin sat uneasily. The ceremony was delayed for unknown reasons and Syaoran hadn't returned. Tomoyo sat next to Eriol with her legs crossed. She shook her leg nervously.
"Eriol...where could Syaoran be?" Tomoyo asked nervously.
"I don't know. He said he'd be back in time." Eriol said, trying to stay calm.
"I wonder why the funeral is being delayed? Is something wrong with her coffin or something?" Meilin asked.
"I don't know. No one knows. Not even Sakura's dad or brother knows." Tomoyo answered.
"I hope everything's okay." Meilin said. Soon, everyone's attention was directed at the podium. Sakura's father stood at the podium. He seemed quite disturbed. He cleared his throat nervously.
"Everyone. May I have your attention please. I have some news to share with all of you." Sakura's father said nervously. Everyone stared at him uneasily, preparing for the worst. "Sakura is..." he began. Suddenly, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "...ALIVE?!?!?!?!" Everyone turned around to look at the doors of the shrine. There, to everyone's amazement, was Sakura, in her long white dress, standing at the shrine doors. Syaoran stood next to her. Sakura's father stepped down from the podium and ran to his daughter. "Sakura??? Is that really you??" he asked
excitedly. Sakura smiled.
"Yes, dad. It's really me." Sakura said happily. Her dad's eyes lit up in an instant. He hugged his daughter tightly, not wanting to let go. Everyone was shocked and gasped in awe.
"It's a miracle!!!" someone shouted out. Soon, everyone was shouting and rejoicing. Eriol, Tomoyo, and Meilin ran to Sakura. They stopped in their tracks when they saw her.
"Sakura!!!!" Tomoyo called out. She ran to Sakura and hugged her. Then Eriol hugged her, then Meilin hugged her. Soon, everyone was hugging her.
***An hour later***
Soon, everyone had left the shrine. They all went to a restaurant to celebrate. Eriol, Tomoyo, and Meilin went to the restaurant while Sakura and Syaoran stayed back at the shrine. They stood at the shrine doors, holding hands.
"You'll see, Sakura. There will be one more day to celebrate soon and we'll be standing right here. You, in a white dress, me in a black tuxedo. You'll see, Sakura." Syaoran said, smiling at Sakura. Sakura had a confused expression on her face. "You'll see." Syaoran said.
***Three years later***
Sakura stood at the shrine doors in her long white wedding dress. Syaoran stood next to her in his stunning black tuxedo. The two waved at the cheering crowd in front of them. Syaoran looked at his beautiful wife.
"I told you there would be one more day to celebrate and we'd be standing right here. You, in a white dress, me in a black tuxedo. I told you." Syaoran said, smiling. Sakura smiled back.
"Shut up and kiss me." Sakura said as she pulled Syaoran closer to her and kissed him.
As Sakura and Syaoran happily walked out the door, a girl with long blonde hair bitterly watched them from afar. A tear fell from her eye.
"If I can't have Syaoran, then no one can." the girl said. With that, the girl got into her silver Porche and drove away.
