My first oneshot... Hope you like it!
Syaoran's face was gaunt and pale, and the dark shadows under his eyes revealed his weariness, but still he sat, unmoving, by that one bed.
Sakura lay on the bed, weakened by the illness which had tormented her for so many months, attacking first her body and then her spirit. Her emerald eyes, once bright, were now dulled with pain.
Sakura parted her lips in a whisper. "Syaoran… I'm scared. I don't want to die."
Syaoran brushed a stray wisp of hair away from her tired face. "I won't let you die. You will live in prosperity, and you will be happy." But his heart knew that this was a mere wish.
"Syaoran…" Sakura lifted up her hand. "Please, hold my hand…"
Syaoran took hold of the outstretched hand, just like he had done so many years ago.
Sakura's mouth curved into a smile. "I won't be afraid any more. I won't be afraid, as long as I know Syaoran is here. I won't even be afraid of dying."
Syaoran raised his voice almost to a shout. "No! I won't let you die! You can't!"
Sakura smiled her gentle smile. "Don't worry, Syaoran. I will be happy, even if I die, because I know… that you will always care for me. Thank you for everything, Syaoran."
"I'll never ever forget you." Tears welled up in Syaoran's eyes. "I love you, Sakura."
A look of peace passed over Sakura's face, and her eyes closed for the last time.
