Chapter 00 - Prologue: Beginning of the End

Syaoran walked forward and handed the teddy bear to Sakura. Their hands met for the first time, sharing each other's warmth, while they looked into each other's eyes.

Seeing Syaoran's sincere gaze, Sakura fought hard to hold back the tears which flooded her heart; she did not want Syaoran to see her upset.

It was not fair. Why did his family have to take him back? Why couldn't he stay here in japan? But then again, that would just be selfish. Life is never fair. Syaoran probably has good reasons to go anyway. She just had to live with it.

Just then, the Nameless card started glowing. Flying out of Sakura's pocket, the ball of light split into two, one moving to Sakura's hands, the other to Syaoran's. When the light slowly faded, each of them held a Nameless Sakura card with half of a winged heart on it.

Seeing this, the two joined in a final tearfelt embrace. At that distance, they could feel each other's heartbeats, beating in harmony. The people around the airport, the buzz of other lives, the whole world continued ruthlessly undisturbed, but it didn't matter anymore; everything boiled down to this moment. Their final moment.

"I'll see you again, right?"
