Chapter 1 – Getting Down the Tower (Li's Point of View)
I caught Sakura, and held her tight in my arms. I was the happiest man in the world. The hug was like another challenge I had passed…the best challenge I had ever passed. She was with me…at last…
"I love you Sakura." That's why I've wanted to say at that moment. Words of feelings came out easily at that moment.
"Shiaoran…" Sakura said in her sweet voice, still in my arms.
"We should get going back. All of the people are supposed to be back! C'mon!" I said, remembering suddenly that there were supposed to be people out there, just trying to remember what had happened. They started to get down and down the stairs. A long trip.
"I'm so happy we're finally together." Sakura said, while we held hands…that sentence surprised me.
"Me too. I thought you were never going to give me a reply." I said, admitting it.
"It's just that I wasn't sure if I liked you or not." She said, kindly.
"Why didn't you tell me before I went off? I was hoping for it." I said too, but I felt kind of dumb asking that question.
"I…I don't know." She said, laughing a little.
"This was an incredible adventure."
"Yep, sure it was."
"You did excellent of the play, Sakura."
"Oh, thanks." She said, putting red.
Silence came, but only for some seconds, and I enjoyed them only holding her hand, going down and down the stairs…
"Li…I want to tell you that I would have never done this without your help." Sakura said.
"C'mon, Sakura, I didn't even help." It was an absolute truth.
"But I don't mean just the help you gave me to capture this card…I also mean all the others…"
"Those? You were the Cardcaptor in the first place! I just came in to disturb your journey."
"But look how the journey ended."
"Yes, you're right."
Silence came again…it was twice the longer than the old one.
"What a silence, let's talk!" she suddenly said.
"About what?" I said startled.
"About…I know! Did I tell you how I felt about when you came back?"
"No."
"I felt like my heart wanted to leave my body! I was half happy half scared."
"I know the feeling."
"And you see that Tomoyo is always taking video everywhere?"
"Yes."
"Well, I was seeing a video where I and you were fighting a Clow Card…at that time, I missed you so much."
"Were you really going to tell me when we got on the wheel fortune?"
"You made things harder!"
"What?!?"
"Yes! You acted so sweetly and kind, and you didn't took your look off of me!"
"And that made it harder?"
"Yes!"
"Sorry."
"And now you're doing the same thing too!"
"Now what am I doing?!?"
"You're acting so noble."
"Is that a crime?"
"Well, that is another reason why I like you." I blushed as she gave me a quick sweet hug. She was so beautiful. Her green eyes were my jail. They trapped me. They made me think that I was worth of something…first I only thought of getting the Clow Cards, that my magic had to advance…but that was just a goal I planned to get to…but with Sakura at my side, the hunt for the Clow Cards seemed worthless.
"You have such beautiful eyes Sakura." She blushed, and we continued our way down. We had finally made it at the bottom of the stairs, and beautiful sunlight came from the main entrance. We passed through the door.
"Let's go find our friends." Sakura suggested, as she started running to where she had seen them last. I followed her running. Part of my right shoulder ached, but I ignored the pain while I saw how Sakura's beautiful dress moved rhythmically through the gusts of wind. We finally made it to get to Mei Ling and Tomoyo.
"Sakura! It's you!" Tomoyo said running to her, giving her a hug.
"Li! Li!" Mei Ling repeated as she came to hug me as well.
"You did it! And you came with a smile, just as I knew you would, Sakura!" Tomoyo said grinning at Sakura happily.
"Happy? I thought you had to give your most important feeling to get the Card." Mei Ling said to Sakura confused.
"Well, I found another way. I managed to get the Card." Sakura said pulling a pink large card with a girl with wings in her head, very long hair, closed eyes, a smile and she held a beautiful heart.
"So that means you still preserve your must important feeling?" Mei Ling asked. Sakura nodded quickly.
"And what about you Li?" Tomoyo asked.
"Nothing. The important thing is that we got the Card, and that we passed a great time here in Japan." I said quickly.
"Oh c'mon Li! Tell them really the news." Sakura said, touching my ribs with her elbow.
"Uh…why don't you tell them?" I said. I really didn't want anyone to know.
"Well, OK…Li and I are boyfriends now."
Tomoyo gasped happily, but Mei Ling frowned and then made a serious smile.
"So of all the scenarios me and Tomoyo put for you, Sakura, to declare your love to Shiaoran, you decided the best scenario in the end of the battle?" Mei Ling said.
"Well, you must admit that was very romantic." Tomoyo said, with her eyes closed and a smile on her face. I blushed too much. Sakura had just said it and she sounded like nothing important…but of course she cared! Or at least I think she cares…
She must care…she's the most valuable person in the world for me…
