City Under Siege:
Epilogue
Good conquers all
All is as it should be
Two finally come together
And meet their destiny
With Natsuo destroyed, the hold she had on the town was gone. Out of no where, the townspeople's souls returned to their bodies, their skin turning the familiar peach, their eyes reflecting their original colors of blue, green, brown, and some purple.
They seemed to wake up form a dream…make that a never ending nightmare. For though they seemed like monsters, they were conscious about what they were doing. How they were being controlled, what they had done to their neighbors, and most especially, two certain teens that had sacrifice everything to save them.
The two guardians remained in their true form, their identities no longer a secret. The family and friends of the hero and heroine came together and gazed down at the seemingly sleeping forms.
For though everyone had awakened, these two did not. In the center of Natsuo's former stronghold, lay Sakura and Syaoran. Their skin white, their eyes closed, and the souls gone.
Li-san bowed her head in respect, followed by Yue-san and Keroberus-chan. Tomoyo-chan, Touya-chan, Meiling-chan, and Fujitaka-san, all cried for their loss of these two innocent lives.
They knew it wasn't their fault, but they still felt responsible for the damage they had done. If they could've done one thing to help, one once of courage, maybe, only maybe, could Sakura and Syaoran been here to witness this celebration.
All were about to leave, when a light caught their attention. They turned and watched in awe, as they saw Sakura and Syaoran step out of the light, holing hands and smiling.
Everyone froze, unsure of what to do. The two appeared as angels as their wings grew from their backs. They walked up to their seemingly dead bodies, and lay down, disappearing into them. The townspeople all held their breath and waited for a miracle.
And a miracle they received, for when the light faded away, two teens, which were moments ago long dead, opened their eyes, and slowly got to their feet.
It took a while for all of this to sink in, but when it did, family, friends and strangers alike rushed over to thank and congratulate the Saviors of their town.
Sakura and Syaoran were delighted to see everyone back to normal, and ran to hug them. Touya, though didn't like Syaoran, gave him a pat on the back. "Thanks for bringing her home."
Syaoran smirked. "She's more powerful than you think."
Touya frowned, and Syaoran left him like that. Soon, the crowds and the best wishes grew tiresome. Sakura and Syaoran held their hands and looked at each other in the eye. Shall we? Sakura said with a smile, happy that they were still linked.
Syaoran winked. Let's blow this joint! As one both Clow Card Mistress and Clow Descendant revealed their wings for all to see. Then, without a moments hesitation, ditch their "fellow man" and made their way, far away, to a place where they could be alone for a while, together.
Sakura and Syaoran landed high on a hill, overlooking the town, now full of light and the sounds of birds chirping and animals calling out to each other.
They settled under a beautiful sakura tree, Sakura under the protective little wolf's arm. She sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"I'm glad Natsuo and Clow-san finally got together. I could never imagine a life without you, Syaoran-kun." Sakura commented.
Syaoran nodded and looked down on her with a smile. "You know what makes me happier?" She looked up. Nani? He ran a hand through her hair. "That you and I are together now." He leaned down and they kissed passionately, as if there were no tomorrow.
Then they just sat there until well into the night. Soon they heard the sound of celebrating and shouts of joy. They looked at each other in confusion and flew up from where they were to get a better look at the town.
In the middle, town square, (okay, not very original, sorry) they saw probably the whole town having some kind of festival.
Did I miss some holiday or something? Sakura wondered.
Soon they heard distinctive cheers. "Sakura! Syaoran! Sakura! Syaoran!"
She giggled and Syaoran laughed. He held out an arm. Shall we?
Sakura nodded, taking his arm, and they flew down to the party.
Under the tree where to two lovers had just left, stood the spirit of Clow-san and Natsuo. Clow-san smiled. "They remind me of us where we were that young."
Natsuo playfully hit his arm. "That was a millennium ago." (Literally)
He laughed and she laid her head on his shoulder. He sighed and stared at the two disappearing angel forms. In his mind he thought. Maybe the last part of the prophecy came true after all…
Good conquers all
All is as it should be
Two finally come together
And meet their destiny
