Pieces of a Shattered Wing

By: Syaoran's Sakura

4th Piece:

Happy Endings

Nunnally bowed her head, hands clasped and lips moving in a silent prayer. It was part of the Japanese custom to offer prayers to the dead whenever they visit their dearly departed ones. But the person she was praying for isn't a relative or close friend of hers; she was praying for her brother's killer.

A week has already passed since the fateful incident happened. Many people who knew Lelouch and Suzaku grieved for the two best friend's untimely demise. Nunnally could even remember Shirley's uncontrollable sobbing and Euphemia's welling tears for her knight as the pink haired princess comforted Nunnally, who had been crying silently all those time.

By assuming her role as the 11th princess of Britannia and with the power of her family, she was able to hide the fact that Lelouch and Suzaku were murdered. Instead she told Milly and the rest of the Ashford Academy that the two boys were caught in the middle of a skirmish between the Army and the Black Knights. The latter, unable to locate Zero, gave up the fight and everything went back to normal.

A hand tapped her shoulder, gently bringing her back from reverie. Surprised, Nunnally looked up to see a young lady smile down on her. The said lady held a bouquet of flowers which she placed in front of the tombstone, whispering a silent prayer before standing beside her wheelchair. With a somber smile she introduced herself, "I have come here to pay respects for Sakura-hime and her friends. My name is Tomoyo."

The Britannian princess stared at her, surprised by the sudden appearance. But what surprised her most was the lady's clothing. She was wearing a violet kimono, long black hair flowing freely behind her. By the way she stood; Nunnally could tell that she is an important person in her country.

"How did you know where she was buried? I made sure that only my family will know of this place." She asked, turning her gaze back to the grave marker.

"I saw it in a dream."

Nunnally looked at her, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"In our world, princesses have the power to see the future through our dreams."

"If you knew this tragedy would happen, you could have done something to stop it!"

Tomoyo turned her gaze to the ground. "Even though I saw it, I could not stop it. Able to see the future as the dreamseer I am, I am bound only to see what lies ahead and hope for the best for my beloved ones."

Silence fell between the two of them until Tomoyo spoke, "I'm sorry about your brother."

Nunnally's eyes became sad. "It was already morning when we reached this place. By that time Suzaku and Lelouch and Sakura-san were all dead. They were all killed by a fatal wound in the chest by a sword found near Sakura-san. By that the police made a conclusion that she stabbed herself after she killed Nii-sama and Suzaku."

It was Tomoyo's turn to be puzzled. "If you knew that she killed them, then why did you give her a proper burial? Aren't you supposed to be angry to Sakura-hime?"

"A little part of me's still grieving for what happened, but as the days pass by that little part continues to get smaller. And the thought that my brother, Lelouch, was the one who started it all by killing Sakura-san's beloved person prevents me from being angry to her. After all, I might have done the same thing if anyone I love was killed just to steal something from me." She paused, wiping away tears. "Besides, there's no use crying over what happened for a very long time. All I can do now is to look forward to the future and go on living for both Nii-sama and Suzaku."

Another silence.

"But the thing that surprised me when we arrived here," The brown haired girl began, "was that Sakura-san was smiling. It was such a peaceful smile, as if she was freed from all the burdens that she carried alone."

Tomoyo smiled at the thought. "I know how it looks like. That smile had the power to lift away any sadness in the people around her, back then."

"I knew it all." Nunnally confessed, burying her face in shaking hands. "When—when I held her cold hands, I just knew it all. It was as if watching a movie in fast-forward." She was sobbing now. "I saw everything she saw, and heard all she heard. It was there that I discovered my brother's plan for me and Suzaku, and how they all died."

Tomoyo went by her side, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. The crying girl looked up, a smile on her lips. "But now they're somewhere up there, with the ones they love, together forever."

The black haired princess also looked up. "I guess you're right. They finally found their own happy endings."

"I've stayed out of the government building too long. I must go now." Nunnally dried her eyes.

"Then I'll accompany you until the meadow's edge." Tomoyo pulled out a piece of paper from her kimono and placed it between the flowers she brought earlier.

"What is that?"

A smile.

"Some words for Syaoran-kun and Sakura-hime."

They were worlds apart but destiny brought them together.

Together they live, divide they die.

He died in protecting her, she died in avenging him.

Hate made her powerful to take revenge for him.

Love made him come back to save her from herself.

He died in her arms. She died by his hands.

Fate tried to keep them apart, but love held them together.

Their love was so strong not even death could keep them apart.
