digi-gal-rox: this new chapter suddenly came to me, after reading the new TRC chapter 217 and 216. So I thought 'what was going through their heads as they left everyone they (Li Syaoran and Li Sakura) left everyone they loved behind. So this is just a random thought, up till the very start of TRC chapter 217.
And since I'm sorta going through a TRC phase, I'd thought I'd share some news, that some people might already new. A two part OVA/OAD is out. Well, part one anyway, which takes part just after the Celes country arc and is the beginning of the the Nihon country arc. You can try and find it in youtube, if the video is still available. It is titled Tsubasa Chronicle: Shunraiki / Tsubasa Shunraiki, it depends. The search engine will go for both, I believe.
Summary: Li Syaoran and Li Sakura turn back time, but at a price
TIME
Looking up at the older self, the young teenager looked up a gentle smile on her face. In her hand, a familiar object. The Star Wand. The older Sakura looked down, slowly reaching out the the pink staff. The familiar weight took it's hold, as she brought it close to her chest. She looked at her younger self in surprise, as the smile on the younger Sakura stayed.
"This is a very precious thing to you, isn't it?" the young Sakura asked. The older Sakura gaze soften, as she took a look at the staff she had once possessed. "Even without the staff, the cards will still be right there. So... don't worry. Her smile widened, "Zettai daijobu da yo!"
Opening his eyes, he looked at his wife, his fists clenched slightly. She looked on at him, worriedly. Before them, Kimihiro Watanuki was happily playing by himself. Unaware of what stood before him in the near future. Syaoran gripped his wife's hand tightly, as she let out a soft sigh.
"He has made his choice. It is time for us to make ours." looking up at him, she nodded.
"I know." she said quietly. "I just hope Kimihiro will be alright." he smiled down at her.
"He will be." he said, confidence slightly wavering. "He will be."
"Are you sure?" Touya asked, agitated, his fists slightly clenching. Beside him, Yukito took hold of his hand, calming him down instantly.
"Hai." Sakura nodded. "It is the only thing we can do. She is in that place. So there is not much she can do to help."
"But the price-" Touya started.
"It is fine." Syaoran stated. "We will risk it." Yukito looked on sadly at the two.
"Are you fine, to say goodbye to him? He will..." Sakura's eyes saddened, as she looked down.
"It will be alright. I'm sure there we will all meet again." she murmured. Looking up again, she looked on at her older brother. "Onegai..." sighing, he reluctantly nodded.
"Fine." he paused, looking on at his younger sister in worry. "Please, be safe, kaijuu." glaring at her brother, for giving her the old nickname, she kicked him hard under the table, causing him to yelp. This had earn a snicker from both Syaoran and Yukito.
Both parents stood at the doorway, watching their son sleep peacefully.
"Sleep well, Kimihiro," Sakura whispered. "We will meet again." closing the door softly, she allowed her husband to lead her away.
"You ready?" he asked. She nodded.
"Yes." she hugged him tightly.
"Sakura..." he said softly.
"Just... a little bit longer. Onegai?" he sighed softly, raising his arms up to return the hug. Moments later, they broke apart. Stepping back from each other, they stared, and closed their eyes.
"Through their own power... they turned back time... left their children behind... and each... sacrificed their ability to touch the one they love the most... to do anything... but simply... to wait that was their price..."
Opening their eyes, they found themselves once again staring at each other. Younger. Slowly, reaching out to each other, they found that a glass sheet was seperating them. Leaning towards the glass, the now younger Syaoran bangs on the sheet. But it does not budge. They only thing they could do was wait. That was their price.
