Extra: Silent cries

The world I know is pulling me
More and more each day
I feel like the odd man out as I begin to pray
Spiteful eyes are watching me
With everything I do
In the midst of darkness Lord
My spirit calls for you

'Cause I hate the way I feel tonight
And I know I need you in my life
Yes I hate the way I feel inside
And I promise to make the sacrifice


Syaoran.

He saw his name form in her lips but couldn't hear it. Her emerald eyes were sad, glistering with tears. He longed to hear her soft voice, to feel her gentle touch, to pull his arms around that fragile figure and wipe those tears away. He longed to see her smile.

But he couldn't.

How long had they been trapped in this tube? How much longer would they be trapped here? He wished he could answer these questions but it was one of the many things that he couldn't do right then.

He pressed his hands against the single glass panel that separated them as she did the same. That single glass panel; it prevented them from hearing each other's voice, from touching each other, it prevented him from wiping the sorrow off his princess's porcelain face.

It hurt him to see her this way, she looked like she'd break into a million pieces soon and he couldn't do anything to stop that from happening.

Sakura.

He knew that she couldn't hear him but even so. His breath fogged up the glass as he softly uttered her name. Their faces were pressed up against the glass now. So close, yet, somehow, so far apart.

Her eyes turned even sadder as fresh tears welded up her eyes. He banged his fist against the glass in a fit of frustration. He was so helpless! She was falling into pieces right before his eyes and yet, he couldn't do anything.

Suddenly she gasped and turned her head around. He couldn't see anything behind her but when she turned back, her eyes were filled with fear.

Syaoran!

She bent her head down and a pair of snow-white wings began to sprout from her back. She was slowly being lifted from the ground but she held on to the glass where his hands were pressed on the other side.

Sakura!

He couldn't do anything! All he could do was watch as she suffered, as she was being taken from him.

Syaoran!

She screamed the name but still, he couldn't hear. This was their punishment. Punishment for interference. The price that they had to pay to live, to let their other selves live.

SAKURA!

The wings pulled her away from him as he called for her desperately but it was useless. Their cries were left unheard. Just a deafening silence lingered on forever. Their price for their love.
