-With Tomoyo-

"Elders, I have been doing my job as you all have requested I do. But, it appears he cannot be helped. He has become distant.. and impossible to handle or keep under control." Tomoyo exclaimed as she stood in front of a panel of the Li elders.

"Tomoyo, you were over-qualified to be sure Young master Li retained no knowledge of his past lover, by seeing that you kept him satisfied." An elder replied with a stern face.

"Elders, it is not my fault, I promise you that. I have tried to my utmost ability, but I cannot help what he dreams!" Tomoyo argued

"Tomoyo, it was you who two years ago said you could handle Syaoran. By telling us this you are taking back all you had said before. You have turned into a failure." Another elder scoffed

"Tomoyo, are you saying that we as the heads of this clan made an error? Are you suggesting that we are responsible for Young Master Li having these 'dreams' you speak of." A third elder interrogated, "If you had done your job properly, he could have had these dreams and not care because he was so in love with you! You have failed us to the highest extent."

"Elders! There was nothing I cou…" Tomoyo began

"Shush all of you! It is in our own right that Tomoyo should be punished for her failure. I know my son is a strong boy, and you all do as well. But let's be honest here, did you all think my son could be tamed by simply erasing his memories and replacing all of them with this worthless girl!? I warned you it could not work and yet you did not listen to me, now we all have hell to pay. Once he recalls this girl, he recalls every single thing and then he will be as fierce as ever and he won't rest until he's with her. I advised you all to accept the girl, but no, you had your own 'plans'. Well how did they workout for you? I suggest we dig into this girl's family and find out if she is truly unworthy of our clan." Yelan scolded the whole room; her eyes alit with anger.

"Grand Mistress Li, How were we to know your son was so strong? Young Master Li was so wrapped up in that girl, we could hardly tell of any power in him. Can you blame us?" The first elder began

"Yes, I can! I warned you! And in erasing his memories of that girl, he forgot what power he holds. Now he sits and lives idle, wasting our clan's hard earned money and works. I am ashamed of him, of you Elders for your ignorance, and of you Tomoyo for thinking my son was 'tamable'. You're all shameless and now go repair your mistake! I will not clean this up for any of you!" Yelan yelled with an annoyed face, "Syaoran's lover.. she was a nice, simple girl. Perhaps of no 'honorable' clan, but I don't think an actor like Tomoyo could capture.. love Syaoran the same way."

"Do not put all this blame on me, Grand Mistress Li!" Tomoyo called out, with pleading eyes.

"Did you not volunteer for this job Tomoyo? Take up your damned responsibilities." Yelan spat as she turned and left the room.

"What treachery do we have left?" A different elder mumbled

"How could you possibly think of more treachery at a time like this? After what Grand Mistress Yelan has said?" Tomoyo quizzed

"What makes you think you have the authority to speak?! You are banned to the House of Sun in the isles of Japan, to a room of exile until we decide further." The same member shouted waving his arms at her

"You cannot punish me! You cannot punish me as if I am one of your clan! You know I am not!" Tomoyo screeched as two maids appeared and began pulled her out of the room.

"Read what you sign more carefully Tomoyo, your contract clearly states that we may treat you as we find suitable." The third member laughed as he watched Tomoyo get dragged out of the room.

-With Sakura's family-

"Anyone care to explain what just happened here?" Sakura asked as she stared at Fujikura and her mother embracing

"Sakura, I think that's our father.. Fujitaka." Touya replied, unsure of his words.

"I suppose… I do have a bit of explaining to do.." Fujitaka stated after a few minutes, as he wiped away Nadeshiko's tears.

"You have a few years worth of explaining to do." Nadeshiko corrected as she wiped the rest of her tears away.

"You knew my clan very well Nadeshiko, they did not approve of our union; moreover that I didn't invite them to it. I believe Sakura was only in your belly at the time and Touya a few years old… It had been a very long time since I had visited my clan, so I decided a visit was in order. So I left to visit… and when I was there a few days later I got into an actual car accident. I was in a coma for nearly 3 months, but right after the accident my heart wasn't beating which was when my mother called you Nadeshiko. I believe a few minutes later I revived a heartbeat. To put it in the simplest way possible to understand… About 3 months after the accident I woke up not knowing who I was, this actually pleased my family in the sense that I had finally forgotten about you. But soon enough I remembered everything… but by that time a whole year had passed and I was too ashamed to face any of you. After the accident my face needed some work, which is why I look different than I do now… But I moved back here as soon as I was well, in hopes that I could gain the courage to tell you but it never.. I was never able to put everything into words… I-I'm so sorry Nadeshiko, Touya, Sakura. I am so sorry I did this to all of you." Fujitaka explained as he hugged Nadeshiko with tears streaming down his face.

"It's just such a fairy tale like thing to have happened. I can't believe your back." Nadeshiko weeped as she hugged him tighter, "I'm scared to let go, I'm scared you'll disappear from me again."

"I'm not going anywhere.. never again. I'm nothing without you." Fujitaka smiled through his tears as he looked down at his wife with such happiness in his eyes, it could never be described. He then slowly lower his head and gave her a sweet peck on the lips, then gazed back into her beautiful warm emerald eyes.

As the couple embraced, their children looked on from the distant part of the hallway with light smiles on their faces. They gave each other a look and decided to give their parents the long earned privacy they deserved. Together, the children walked out into the backyard where they sat together watching the sunset.

"Mom's living a real-life fairytale." Touya commented as he leaned back a bit thinking about his mother's happiness.

"I know… I'm almost jealous." Sakura replied with a sullen look as she watched the yellow-pink sky.

"Sakura." Touya began as he turned to his little sister. He place his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly, "Look, do you love this guy? Still, after all of these years?"

"I do. I love him more and more each day I don't see him. I'm scared that if I don't see him soon I'll go insane. Touya, he's all I think about I miss him so much." Sakura answered with earnestness.

"How willing are you to wait for this man?" Touya pressed on as he looked hard onto his little sister with concern and seriousness in his eyes.

"Forever. Until the day I die. We promised each other our hearts, I cannot give up on him just because he's not around." Sakura said with a deep compassion evident in her voice, "If a miracle can happen for Mom, then one will happen for me too."

"Then it'll happen, you deserve someone who loves you the way you love him." Touya smiled as he patted Sakura gently on the head.

-Airport-

"…Arrival of flight 5623 to Hong Kong…"

Syaoran stepped out of the gate in the same clothes he had been wearing the entire day. He then began to look around for an information desk so that he could ask about Tomoyo's flight here. After a few minutes of weaving through the large crowds, he finally managed to find one and immediately pushed himself to the front of the line.

"I need information!" Syaoran exclaimed as he caught his breath infront of the attendant.

"Well obviously sir but, you do realize there was a long line you just cut." The attendant, who wore a name card with the name Suzuki written on it, replied as she looked at Syaoran with a slight blush at his forwardness.

"I'm of the Li-clan, they don't matter right now. I need information, did a private flight from Tokyo Japan arrive here a few hours ago?" Syaoran demanded as he thrust his Li clan I.D. in Suzuki's face.

"Uhm," Suzuki began as she shoved Syaoran's hand out of her face and began searching her computer, "Yes, a private plane.. the most recent one arriving here from that area was a plane owned by the Li-clan."

"What!?" Syaoran shouted in disbelief, "Then I need a cab."

"Alright.." Suzuki sighed as she turned to a side and began to dial a phone number, as it rang she returned to the computer noticing an update, "It would seem that the plane you are hunting is scheduled for a flight to Japan in two days, but not for Tokyo for this small island of Toemeada. Mainly a beach place, it's a very nice vacation spot."

"Just get me the cab for now." Syaoran insisted as he drummed his fingers on the counter.

"Alright, it'll be waiting for you downstairs infront of terminal B-4." Suzuki stated, then Syaoran immediately ran toward the nearest stairs.

Once downstairs, Syaoran pushed his way into the first available cab in the area. He practically threw himself into it, and demanded the cab driver take him to the Li clan mansion. The frightened cab driver quickly obliged as he started up the car and began driving off. After a few minutes of claming himself down, Syaoran buckled his seatbelt and took out the only thing he brought with him besides his wallet—his cell phone of course.

"Eriol?" Syaoran began the conversation as he watched the images move outside of the car.

"Syaoran? Where are you? I stopped by your house for the first time ever, and of course no one is home but some maids who don't know where you went." Eriol quizzed in a curious voice.

"I'm in China, on my way to the Clan's place." Syaoran answered calmly.

"Why on earth are you there?! I thought you hated visiting them." Eriol questioned highly confused

"I'm tracking down Tomoyo, she took a plane to Hong Kong and when I asked information about it they said it was a Li clan plane. So I figured I'd go straight to the source." Syaoran explained

"Why would Tomoyo go there?" Eriol pondered

"I have no idea but I'm on my way over there."

"I'll be there soon, I'm booking my flight right now."

"Eriol, you don't have to come check up on me."

"But how else will I keep up on the little drama going on in my little cousin's life?!"

"I hate you, you know that right?"

"I'm kidding, but I figure if the clan starts anything you won't have to deal with them full blow. I'll distract them for you so you can find the girl of yours."

"Thanks Eriol, you're really a good guy once you stop acting like a freak."

"Thank you for the compliment..? Anyways, just introduce me to this girl of yours, I'm curious about what she's like."

"Alright, Alright. I'll see you later tonight?"

"Yeah, bye."
