Chapter 10: Together Forever
Syaoran appeared in a bright bright place. The mist had cleared revealing nothing but blue sky and clouds as flooring. He saw no one around, just himself.
He started to walk where his senses lead him too, and he continued to walk and walk. Passing different gates, and sometimes even people, or should I say angels too.
"...Xiaolang?"
Syaoran turned around and saw a man standing in front of him. Yet at once, he felt that this person was familiar...
"Dad?!"
"Xiaolang..." He nodded. "You have died...at such a young age?" He said sadly.
Syaoran sighed, "Not exactly. There is still time and I'm here to get...to get one of my friends back with me."
"...Who?"
"...It's either Meiling, or my friend Sakura," Syaoran explained his hard descision to him.
His father placed a hand on his shoulder. "I take it that Sakura isn't just a friend, but your love." This caused Syaoran to blush a crimson red. "Nothing to be embarrassed about or shy about. When I fell in love with your mother, I was as helpless as you. So just follow you heart Xiaolang...and make the right choice."
"Ok..." Syaoran watched as his father glided away and he was once again alone in this alien place. He walked by a little girl, and he felt sorry that this girl would have died so soon. He continued his search, yet he didn't exactly know who he was looking for...Meiling or Sakura.
"Xiaolang!!"
Syaoran recognized that voice at once. It was Meiling. He turned around and saw Meiling standing there with a bright smile on her face. "You've come!" Meiling smile slightly wavered. "Yet...we can't all stay together neh? They call this place heaven, because we get to enter our most wanted dreams. Maybe that's why they call this place heaven...I haven't seen Sakura around, maybe she's gone already.."
"NO!" Syaoran shocked Meiling. "I'm here...to bring someone back with me to earth. But I can only bring one person...." He looked at the fluffy white ground in sadness.
But then he felt someone's hand on his shoulder, and he looked up again. Meiling gave him a soft smile and a squeeze in the hand. "I know Sakura will take care of you better then I could ever....I loved you then when we were engaged, but we broke the engagement...but, I still love you, maybe even more then I ever did. As a cousin...a brother even." Meiling placed her hands on his. "Go find her, and bring her back. I let you go little wolf..." She gave him another bright smile and turned around to leave.
Syaoran stayed glued to his spot. "Go Xiaolang...before it's to late..." He heard Meiling say, and that made him start running.
*No! It can't be to late...it can't be!* He thought furiously.
Meiling stopped walking away and
looked behind her shoulder again. She smiled to herself, knowing that Syaoran
would find his happiness. She opened her right palm and a lotus dropped
from her hand, and down down to earth, and then she entered her gates to
her dreams.
Sakura walked by many different gates, and she finally came to one that had written on it in gold writing, Sakura Kinomoto. She peered into the gate, and what she saw made her blush.
She was walking up the ail, in wedding dress and all. Her father escorting her up, and there at the end was Syaoran in a tuxedo. He had one of his rare smiles on his face, and Sakura was to.
Sakura wanted to jump into the gates when she heard someone yelling. "NO!!" Sakura spun around and saw Syaoran, running up to her. She had a confused look on her face. "Syaoran? Why are you up here?"
"To bring you back to earth with me! We still have time!" He reached for her hand.
Sakura glanced behind her shoulder at the wonderful scene, and Syaoran followed her gaze and felt a blush creep to his face when he saw himself and Sakura kissing at their wedding.
"But...I want to go there..." Sakura said, pointing through the gates. "I want to join them..."
"...But Sakura! Those are just dreams and not the real thing!" Syaoran remarked. "...We CAN make this happen in real life Sakura. Just come back with me, and we'll make this happen." Syaoran said defiantly.
Sakura blinked at him, hre confused lips curved into a smile. "Hoe? Really...?!"
Syaoran nodded, with a smile. "Ashiteru Sakura Kinomoto. And I want are wedding to happen today."
Sakura felt her heart explode in happiness and she threw herself into Syaoran's arms. "Ashiteru Syaoran Li..." Her voice was slightly muffled since her face was in his chest.
"Then we better get going..."
"Er how?" Sakura said, raising her head.
Syaoran didn't remember Kero telling him how. "...Er..."
"Oh look!" Sakura pointed to the symbol that had appeared in the sky. "That's Clow Reed's symbol."
"Right! We go through it!" Syaoran remembered how Kero had flew in and out of it before.
Sakura summoned the fly card and
the both flew up to the symbol hand in hand.
Eriol, Kero, and Spinel sat around the three dead bodies waiting patiently.
"They only have five more mintues..." Eriol sighed.
Kero had a stress mark on his head. "That gaki better bring...bring Sakura back..."
Suddenly, Syaoran's body starting glowing green, and his amber eyes shot open. "Wa?! Sakura!!"
The body next to him started to glow pink, which was Sakura. And her wound healed itself and her eyes fluttered open as she sat up. "Hoe?"
"Sakura!" Syaoran pulled her into his arms.
Eriol, Spinel, and even Kero watched the moment in happiness. When they seprated, Sakura saw Meiling's body beside her.
"Meiling-chan..?! Why isn't she waking up..." She asked softly.
"...I could only bring one person back Sakura..." Syaoran replied sadly. "She told me, that I should go to you..she said that she would let me go..."
Sakura felt tears build up in her eyes for the lost of one of her bestest friends. "We'll have a proper burial for her..alright?"
"Right..." Syaoran stood up. "Eriol...arigatou for saving us."
Eriol smiled, "No problem."
"Then...should my father and brother be back to normal now?" Sakura asked worridly.
"Let's go back and see."
"Father, why are we still eating breakfast?" Touya asked with a confused look on his face. "And look, it's almost night time."
"I don't know son...I don't know..." Fujitaka replied. "Do you remember anything? I don't..."
Touya shrugged, "I have no idea...hey, where is the squirt?!"
"ONII-CHAN!! OTOU-SAN!!" They heard a voice call and soon Sakura appeared into the room. "Are you guys alright?!" She waved her hands in front of both people.
Touya stared at her oddly. "What are you doing that for? Do you think we're like possessed squirt?"
Sakura sighed in reilef, her brother was back to normal. She give him a bear hug which surprised Touya, but he shrugged and returned the hug.
"I'm so glad everything is back to normal..."
Syaoran stepped up to them and cleared his throat. "Excuse me your majesty, but I would like to have your daughter's hand in marriage today."
Fujitaka smiled at Syaoran. "I see that the engagement thing worked."
"Yes, I did," Syaoran said and returned the smile. "May we have...the wedding today?"
Fujitaka's eyes widened. "I don't see why not. Just it's so sudden!"
"Please otou-san? We've been through hell together!"
"No heaven," Syaoran corrected.
Sakura giggled, "Right!"
Fujitaka and Touya looked at them
with confusion but nodded. "I guess..you may be wedded today!"
The bells were ringing, and the clock was tinking it's way to midnight. People of the kingdom were wide awake at the sudden break news that their beloved princess was soon to be married to the prince of the Li Kingdom.
Everyone gathered around the already crowded church, wanting to catch a glimpse of the groom or bride.
"Sakura!! You look so KAWAII!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she twirled Sakura around in a circle. "Fabulous!"
Sakura sweatdropped, "Arigatou...the dress is wonderful Tomoyo-chan!"
"Thanks! I made it like weeks ago because I knew you would get married sooner of later and I wanted to be prepared!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "Now put the veil on and you're all set!"
Sakura smiled and flung the veil on carefully. She stepped out, with her father escorting her, and the flower girl spreading cherry blossoms around the ail. Sakura was red, but no one could see that under the veil. She was excited and happy all at the same time.
She finally reached the end, where Syaoran was waiting. It seemed like enternity but she was finally there.
The priest went through a whole bunch of lines, that Sakura didn't even here. All she could here was the breathing of Syaoran. And Syaoran could only stare at his Sakura that was standing before him.
"And now, do you Syaoran Li, take Sakura as your beloved wife until the end of time?" The priest questioned.
"I do."
"And Sakura Kinomoto, do you take Syaoran Li as your beloved husband until the end of time?"
"I do!" Sakura said a bit too excitedly.
The priest closed his book. "You are now pronounced husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
The crowd went into cheers and claps as Syaoran pulled the viel away from Sakura's face, revealing her slight pink blush that had crept up to her cheeks.
He leaned over, and placed a passionate kiss on Sakura's lips, and Sakura return it.
"I feel like we are in my fragile dreams..." Sakura mumbled through the kiss.
Syaoran smiled, "You are..."
"We're together forever now..."
