The Price of Love – Together at Last
"Flight 118 now arriving from Japan."
Sakura, Madison and Eriol walked off the plane together while Syaoran hung back in the shadows waiting for the signal. Syaoran's sisters ran to greet them the moment they stepped into the lobby.
"Oh my gosh you guys are so cute together," Fuutie, the second eldest told Madison and Eriol. "We always thought you two made a great couple."
"And you are so pretty Sakura," the twins, Feimei and Onyanko told her.
"How I wish little brother was here to see you," Fahrah, the eldest of Syaoran's four sisters sighed. "You're exactly how he described you, his green-eyed goddess."
The girls split into two to let their mother take a closer look at Sakura. "They are right Sakura," Yelan smiled. "You are very beautiful. It is hard to believe you are the same girl that I met three years ago."
"Thank you Mrs. Li," Sakura said bowing in respect.
"Now where is this surprise guest of yours that you were so eager for me to meet that it appears you have forgotten him or her?" Yelan asked.
"I'll get him," she said as she ran over to where Syaoran was hiding.
Syaoran stepped out of the shadows but his face was still hidden. Sakura stepped up on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek then whispered something in hie ear. He nodded. Syaoran's family gasped at the scene and again as they saw his face.
"Mother," Syaoran said bowing.
Yelan looked at his aura checking that it truly was her son and not some kind of impersonator trying to take away his inheritance. "My son," she cried wrapping him in a hug.
"Syaoran," the four older girls cried joining in on the hug.
"Sakura you have brought so much happiness to me and my family," Yelan told her tears of happiness welling in her eyes. "I don't know how I'll ever be able to thank you."
"This is thanks enough," Sakura told her.
"Tell me when did you find him?" Yelan asked as they sat in the large Japanese style garden of the Li mansion sipping green tea and eating the strawberry cheesecake that Madison had prepared especially for the occasion.
"A week ago," Sakura said. "But it was more like he found me."
"Sounds like my son to me. He could never bear to be away from you," she smiled causing Syaoran to blush. "But why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I was basically in a coma type state until Saturday," Sakura mused. "I had only really just come out of it when you called."
"What happened?" Yelan asked anxiously.
Syaoran went through the whole story explain everything that had happened to him over the past years.
"Well I'm just glad that you're all still alive," Yelan sighed. "Sakura can I see your hand?"
"Sure," Sakura said holding out her hands.
"Clow Reed's promise ring," Yelan said happily. "Exactly where it belongs."
"Thank you," Sakura said blushing from Yelan's compliment.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Syaoran asked Sakura.
"Sure," she said raising from her seat.
Syaoran took her hand in his and led her through the garden. Syaoran led her to a tall Cherry tree full of blossoms. He placed his hand on the wood then took it away revealing a heart 'S+S 4EVA' engraved inside.
Sakura looked into his amber eyes and smiled. "Always and forever," she whispered before leaning onto his chest and closing her eyes sighing contently.
Syaoran kissed her forehead and rested his head on hers. "And then some," he whispered as he closed his eyes. He smiled content on just staying like this forever breathing in her smell and listening to her breathe. He quietly began to sing.
"From the moment I met you I just knew you'd be mine
You touched my hand and I knew this was going to be our time
I don't ever want to lose this feeling
I don't want to spend a moment apart
'Cos you bring out the best in me
Like no one else can do
That's why I'm by your side
And that's why I love you
Every day that I'm with you
I know that it feels right
And I just got to be near you every day and every night
And you know that we belong together
It just had to be you and me
'Cos you bring out the best in me
Like no one else can do
That's why I'm by your side
And that's why I love you
And you know that we belong together
It just had to be you and me
'Cos you bring out the best in me
Like no one else can do
That's why I'm by your side
'Cos you bring out the best in me
Like no one else can do
That's why I'm by your side
And that's why I love you
'Cos you bring out the best in me
Like no one else can do
That's why I'm by your side
And that's why I love you"
('Best in me' blue)
"You didn't tell me you could sing," Sakura said looking up into his eyes.
"You never asked," he said as he kissed her nose.
Yelan looked down at the two from her balcony.
"Together at last."
~*© The End ©*~
I was thinking about making the ending "together at last, but for how long" but then I couldn't bear the thought of it ending with a happily ever after, so this is the end. I hope you enjoyed it and thank you all for reading this.
