Chapter 13 - The Flame in My Heart
Sakura stood in front of her mirror, wearing a sleeveless, designer gown that looked very elegant on her. As she was busy getting herself ready, Faye came in.
"Sorry, Sakura. I had a phone call from my secretary. Now, how should we do your hair?" Faye asked as she took a brush.
"Anyway you think is good," Sakura replied.
"Alright.." Faye said as she started to brush her hair.

"Xiaolang, the limo is here," Fuutie said as she entered
the room. "Wow! I can't believe this is my little brother!"
She exclaimed.
Syaoran rolled her eyes. "Alright,"
"By the way, who's your date?" Fuutie asked.
"...Sakura," He replied.
"Wai! How cute! Did you ask her, or did she ask you?" She asked.
"I asked her of course," Syaoran replied.
Fuutie sighed. "So cute, so cute!" She said as she left the room.
Syaoran followed after her and
headed out the door to the limousine.
**
Syaoran got to the prom and waited by the door for Sakura. He
saw numerous couples go in, all including Tomoyo and Eriol. "Well,
well, look who's together," Syaoran remarked.
"Hm? Oh! Hi, Syaoran!" Tomoyo said as she stopped walking.
"Hey, Syaoran," Eriol said.
"Hey, guys. So, you two are finally an item now, huh?" Syaoran asked.
Tomoyo blushed as she looked at Eriol who was smiling. "Yup," Tomoyo replied.
"Cool," Syaoran said.
"Where's Sakura?" Eriol asked.
"She's supposed to be here," Syaoran replied.
"Don't worry, Syaoran. Sakura-chan is always late," Tomoyo said.
Syaoran started to laugh softly.
Then, another limousine pulled up, and Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol all waited to see who was in there. Out came a stunning and beautiful young girl with an elegant gown. She thanked her driver and walked up to the entrance where her face lit up. "Syaoran!" She exclaimed.
"Hey, Sakura!" Syaoran said.
"Hi, Sakura!" Eriol and Tomoyo both said.
"Sorry I'm late," Sakura apologized.
"Don't be. You're just on time. So, let's go in now." Syaoran said as he offered his hand.
Sakura smiled and put her hand in his. "Sure." She said as they both walked in the building.
"Look at them. They're so cute together." Tomoyo whispered.
"If only Sakura will admit
her feelings to him, nothing could've been difficult now..."
Eriol whispered.
**
Hours passed by, and Sakura and Syaoran were having the time of
their lives. Several students were saying good-bye to each other
and to Sakura, for they knew that she was leaving Hong Kong. Near
midnight drew, and the moon was shining very brightly outside.
It was also time to announce who is going to be the prom queen
and king.
Ms. Yang went up to the podium with one of the other male teachers. She took out a paper out of an envelope and looked at it with a lot of excitement. "Hello, graduating class of 2002! I can't believe that all of you are graduating, it happened so fast!" Ms. Yang exclaimed.
All students stopped what they were doing and paid close attention to Ms. Yang. "We had joyous events like when our friends, Sakura and Tomoyo, first came to our school as new seniors in Silver Star Academy, but we also lost one friend during the year...Ahling...Who will always be remembered in our hearts when we all journey our way to the future. ...It's a tradition in every prom that there should be the King and Queen. We had several nominations, but nothing could add up to this special couple...The new prom King is...," Ms. Yang said as she saw everyone get jumpy. "Xiaolang Li!!!" She screamed.
Everyone cheered and hurrahed and they watched Syaoran go up to the podium and receive his crown. He was so happy, and Sakura had to be the happiest girl there.
"And for the prom Queen...Sakura Kinomoto!!" Ms. Yang screamed.
Everyone cheered even louder as they watched Sakura go up to the podium. She was burning with red and she received her crown and Tomoyo and Eriol got themselves ready.
"Sakura...We know that you are going to Japan, and we know what else happened, but we will not say...You were a good student and a friend. And you too, Xiaolang. Because of this, the whole senior class wanted something special, and so Tomoyo and Eriol will play a special song for the traditional dance...For just the two of you..." Ms. Yang said.
Sakura and Syaoran nodded as they both went to the dance floor. They looked at Tomoyo and Eriol. Tomoyo was on a mini-stage with a microphone and Eriol was on the piano.
"Sakura...Syaoran...Both of you have been very dear to us, and we can never forget the both of you..." Tomoyo whispered. Eriol began at a steady and slow pace and Tomoyo started to sing.
Will you please remember me until the end?
Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and Syaoran put his hands on her waist, and they started to dance...
God knows how much I hope [I hope] and pray...
"Syaoran...You that than I'm...," Sakura started.
"That you're what?" Syaoran asked.
"You know that I'm leaving tomorrow...right?" She whispered.
Syaoran's eyes widened. "...You are?"
Just as long as the sun keeps on shining...
"I wish that we didn't have to leave, but when you really think about it, it's all because of me...," She whispered as tears formed in her eyes. "I don't wanna leave this home, and all the friends I met here...Even though I will be going away to college, I still wanna remain here in Hong Kong...,"
"...Sakura, you remember that story I told you in the mountains, right? About how the guy said, It's never goodbye, but until we meet again."? He whispered.
"Yes...," She replied.
I promise to be by your side, forever more
"We'll see each other again eventually. You and I are best friends...," He said.
"Best friends forever, right?" She asked while smiling.
You are always going to be the flame in my heart
"Of course. I'll even be there when you leave tomorrow...At the airport," Syaoran said.
"That's good. It'll make me happy. I can never forget you, Syaoran," Sakura said.
The memories are just enough to not keep you lonely
"I'll always remember that story with Yuri and the boy whom she loved so dearly, and they met each other again even though death separated them," Sakura whispered.
I say this so, because you'll always be my friend and,
They don't understand just how hard it is...To say:
"That's clearly a story to always remember... I really like this song too. Parts of the lyrics were the ones you were singing in the mountains...," Syaoran said.
"Yeah, Tomoyo-chan knows it is my favorite song...But what a coincidence that it tells of people like us, going away to a really far place," She said.
"Yeah, I know," He said.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here
I'll remember to love, you taught me how
You've always been by my side, and now,
I hope you'll follow your dreams because...
Sakura and Syaoran kept on dancing slowly, and soon it was time for the other couples to start dancing alongside them. Sakura and Syaoran remained quiet, and Sakura was trying to hide her tears from Syaoran. She couldn't bear the pain of losing someone close to her like this...
We will always be the best of friends, until the end,
Just as long as the sun keeps on shining
"Syaoran...," Sakura whispered.
"What is it?" Syaoran asked.
"I...," She started.
Syaoran got his eyes focused on her.
"I...I...," She stammered.
If we're close, or if we are a thousand miles apart,
You're the flame in my heart
"I—" Sakura stammered. But then, as the song ended, everyone started cheering loudly for Tomoyo and Eriol, and also Sakura and Syaoran. Because of the sudden outburst, Sakura couldn't say anything more.
"WE'LL MISS YOU, SAKURA!!"
Everyone screamed.
**
The prom ended, and Sakura couldn't exactly finished what
she was saying to Syaoran. Everyone started to leave, and it was
time for Sakura to leave also as they all watch her driver come.
"Do any of you need a ride?" Sakura asked.
"No thanks," Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol all said together.
"Okay then...You'll all be in the airport tomorrow...right?" Sakura asked.
"I can't, but...Sakura, I hope for the best of you. Always keep in touch, okay? I'm going to be studying in England for college," Eriol said as he put his hand to her shoulder.
"Alright, Eriol. Thank you, and good luck to you!" Sakura exclaimed.
"I will be there of course, Sakura-chan. You can count on it! Don't forget that I still have a house in Japan, so I can go there whenever I want! But, I'm also going to England with Eriol. We got accepted in the same schools," Tomoyo said.
"Wai! I'm so happy for you!" Sakura exclaimed as she slowly turned to Syaoran.
"I'll see you there. Don't worry," Syaoran said.
"Yeah I know...Syaoran, thank you for everything. Even though it is my last night here and the engagement is broken...You know how to make the best of everything...," Sakura whispered. "I wish I was more like that..." She muttered as she opened the door. "Goodbye..." She said as she entered in.
"'Bye..." Syaoran
whispered.
**
The Next Day...
"Sakura-san, are you all ready?" Fujitaka yelled from downstairs.
"Hai! I'm coming!" Sakura replied as she took some of her bags down with her. Kyoko carried the rest.
"I can't believe we're leaving Hong Kong..." Kero whispered to Sakura.
"...Me too..." Sakura whispered back.
**
As the Kinomoto family got to the airport, Sakura stood in front
of it. She never really thought that she could leave another home,
filled with many memories. She was scared to go back to her old
home, scared to see what might happen to her life...But she has
to move on with it, that's the way life goes.
"Syaoran...."
"Sakura!" A voice yelled from behind.
Sakura whirled around, and there
was Syaoran...Just in time before her departure.
