To-Beryl Green. Your welcome, and thanks I will.
To-shi eri. I feel bad for Syao too.
To-Avalon's Angel. Yes; and Sakura doesn't know that she caused the injury because she didn't care. She threw the vase because she was angry and then she stormed out of the room, she didn't know that the vase smashed against Syao's arm. She only knows that he was at the hospital the next day.
To-xCrazyKindOvWeirdx. I will update as soon as I can.
To-Red Mermaid Princess. Sakura already suspects that Syaoran was lying to her, but she probably won't figure out that she caused Syaoran's injury, because she doesn't really care. I wouldn't get you hopes up about the council agreeing, but anything can happen.
To-Princess-Christina-Ark. Oh I know the story you are talking about I think; that isn't Skating Figures. In Skating Figures, Syaoran loves to ice skate. In the one you are talking about their relationship starts off purely sexual right? I can truthfully say that I have watched all the eps of Naruto; I haven't watched any of the sequel. I got so bored with the show; it was a so boring nothing happened! No; the fake conscious is not a demon. The name of the song is Unlimited World and the artist is Kana. A link to the song is in the author note in chapter 8. Um you are a little off. I was on a website where people can review animes. And I was reading a review of Code Geass and the person said that 'Getting stung by a bee is more fun that watched Code Geass. I would rather get cancer than watch it again. I would give it a -5 but they only allow you to rate things 1-5 so it gets a 1.' Yep the anime is Code Geass. (I love that show.) I was sad when Nunnally, but I was sadder when Shirley died. :' (. ShirleyxLelouch. :'(. And when C.C lost her memory. I love that anime because it is not so predicable, like most shows. Most shows are so boring because NO ONE DIES! I hate that! I'm just sitting their watching the battle and I'm thinking 'Ok, they are going to get beat up, and just about die, then the main character will show up and save them, and beat the bad guy.' Now I'm ranting; you got me ranting. LOL
To-lhaine07. Well it would be the very beginning of the start. Yes hot soup hurts. Trust me I know!
To-HappyBlossom. Nope the person playing with Syao and Saku is not a demon. That really depends; who are your favorite characters?
To-Belle Sparrow. Wow the way you said those things was amazing.
Just so you know this chapter doesn't follow the time line. Some scenes take place years before Sakura and Syaoran turn the ages they are now. For example the first scene takes place before the events of chapter 7 and the second scene takes place years before chapter 4. The third scene is pretty clear, and every scene after that takes place right after 13. This chapter may be confusing right now, but eventually everything will make sense.

Chapter Fourteen
Deceit
Tara quietly opened the front door. She glanced around the porch outside. Not seeing anyone she slowly ventured outside. She walked past the garage and onto the driveway.
"Where are you going?" her brother asked from other side of the garage.
I knew he was there! Tara turned around and gave her older brother an innocent smile. "Nowhere; I was just going for a walk," she told him.
"Nice try," he brother frowned. "What is wrong; I know the Yamada's aren't our real parents but they have been nice to us. There is no reason for you to seek vengeance."
"I know the Yamada's are great, but I just can't stand it," Tara told her brother. "That bastard is still our there living. He has no right to live after killing mom and dad!" she yelled.
"That may be true, but it is not for you to decide," her brother told her.
"Then why do I even have magic!?" Tara yelled. "Why did you teach me how to control and use it!?"
"Because mom and dad told me to take care of you," he answered.
"What were mom and dad like?" Tara asked.
"Mom was very kind and loving. She was sometimes forgetful, and she was always very cheerful. Mom could be very naïve, and she had a hard time being on time for anything."
"And what about dad; what was he like?" Tara asked.
"Dad was sometimes strict, but he only had our well being in mind. Dad wasn't the type who smiled a lot, he was more serious."
"How did mom and dad meet?" Tara asked.
"They meet in high school and both had a crush on the other right away. They didn't go after each other right away. But their two best friends started dating any mom and dad were introduced and then they started going out."
"I hope I can have a nice romance like that, really easy no work," Tara muttered.
"I'm sure there is more to the story, but that is all mom and dad told me," he told her. "So have you abandoned your attempt at vengeance?"
"Not a chance; our parent's killer deserves retribution!" Tara yelled before running off.
Her brother let out a sigh. He glanced up at the stars. Why does this have to happen to me? Why did it end up like this? His eyes narrowed. No; I know why this is happening; it is all his fault!
Yelan glanced over at the chest sitting on the dresser. In her hand she clutched a small silver key. Her mind replayed the events that just happened minutes ago.
/ / Flashback / /
Mr. Li had just stormed into the room surprising his wife. "Dear what are you doing home? Is something wrong?" Yelan asked.
"I'm afraid so," Mr. Li answered in a grave tone. He went over to his wife and kissed her. "This may be the last time we see each other."
"What!?" Yelan exclaimed.
"I found this chest," Mr. Li told her. He handed the chest to his wife. "Inside this chest is something very important, and many people with evil intensions will come after it. But the only way to open the chest is with this silver key." He gave the key also to his wife. "We can't let both the chest and the key fall into evils' hands. I contacted the magic council and they have been protecting me for awhile now."
"Then why are you giving me the chest and key?" Yelan asked.
"I think that one of my protectors actually wants what is inside the chest," he explained. "If what I suspect is true then the chest and key are not safe with me."
"What do you want me to do with them?" Yelan asked.
"Hide them and keep them safe until Syaoran turns sixteen, then give them to him," Mr. Li explained.
"Why Syaoran?" Yelan asked.
"You know the reason," Mr. Li replied. "You know that our daughters have only a little bit of magic, and that Syaoran has a lot. But someone placed a seal on his magic so he can't use it. I hope that the seal will break by the time he turns sixteen."
"What about Sakura?" Yelan questioned. "I'm sure you feel the great amount of magic coming from her as well. But like Syaoran someone has placed a seal on it. Who could have gotten close to our son and Sakura?"
"I'm not sure; and I have no idea why," Mr. Li answered. "I have to go or me protectors will come in."
"Wait what is going on!?" Yelan questioned.
"I'm going to fake them out with a fake chest; while the real one stays here," Mr. Li explained. "Hide it well, so if they come inside they won't find it. Goodbye Honey; I love you and the children."
Yelan watched as her husband ran out of the room and down the hallway.
/ / End Flashback / /
Yelan opened the drawer of the nightstand and opened the secret compartment of it. She slipped the key inside and closed it. She shut the drawer of the nightstand and walked over to the dresser.
Yelan starred at the chest for a few minutes before letting out a sigh. She turned around and was a little surprised at the person standing in the doorway. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
The figure's face turned to a smirk. Yelan let out a surprised gasp as she was thrown against the wall by a powerful wave of magic. The figure slowly walked up to Yelan. The person took a bright gem out of his pocket.
A black ray shot out of the gem and hit Yelan, and she felt her body grow weaker and weaker. A black magic spell; I never would have thought that he would know something like that. That was the last thing Yelan thought before she blacked out.
Yelan woke up to the sound of Syaoran crying out for her. She opened her eyes and saw that Syaoran, Kaiser, Sakura, Touya, and her four daughters were all gathered around her. Yelan glanced around the room and noticed the chest still sitting on the dresser. He didn't take it; or maybe he couldn't find the key.
Mr. Li rushed out of the mansion and up to the three people standing by the gate. Two of them were men the other was a young girl about the age of eighteen.
The guys both had black hair and wore black sunglasses and suits. The girl had long blonde hair that trailed down her back and hazel colored eyes. She wore a red blouse and a red skirt.
"Mr. Li you took a long time, we have to keep moving," one of the guys told him.
"Yes I know I'm sorry," Mr. Li told them. "I just said goodbye to my wife and kids, it took a while."
"Let's get moving or they will find us," the other guy said.
The group of four took off. They drove a white van for a long time until they came to a large forest. They got out of the car and headed into the forest. They walked through the forest until they came to a small wooden shack.
"Stay here Mr. Li while we check out the area," one of the guys told him. All three of the people took off into the forest.
Mr. Li waited a while inside the shack before the door opened and the young woman walked in. "Where are the others?" Mr. Li asked.
"They are keeping watch outside," she told him. "You can relax now Mr. Li."
"I don't think that is a wise idea Eris," he replied.
"The council ordered asked me to investigate the chest," Eris told him.
"I'm sorry; no one touches the chest expect me," Mr. Li replied firmly.
"We could have done this the easy way," Eris whispered. "You could have just given me the chest."
Mr. Li felt his hand freeze and the chest slipped from his hand. "Slow reacting paralysis works well," Eris told him. She walked over and picked up the chest. Looking down at the chest she clenched her fist. She angrily threw the fake chest against the wall. "You bastard you switched it!" she yelled. "Where is the real box!?" she screamed.
"Like I will tell you," he told her.
"Whatever you had to leave it one of the places you stopped at. So there are only twelve possible places where the real chest. Enjoy the afterlife," Eris said cruelly. She reached out and touched Mr. Li's right hand with her middle finger.
Mr. Li let out a very loud cry from intense pain. "What did you do?" he hissed from pain.
"I restructured your cells and started an explosive chain reaction. Your cells in your body will slowly implode one by one until your whole body implodes." Eris told him. "I made sure to make the process very slow so it will be very painful." Eris laughed coldly as she walked over to the door to the shack. "You pathetic normal humans." She hissed before opened the door and walking out.
Present Day
"Sakura-chan!" Misa called out as Sakura walked through the school doors. Misa ran up to Sakura, and hugged her. "Sakura-chan; I'm so glad you are alright." She cried.
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.
"Don't worry we know about everything," Misa told her.
"So you know that Chance and I broke up," Sakura replied.
Misa let out a gasp; "No we didn't know that."
"Then what are you talking about?" Sakura questioned. "And why did you guys abandon me!?"
"We didn't abandon you; Syaoran-kun told us you wanted to be left alone. And you didn't want anyone to talk to you while you tried to cope with the grief. We thought that was very weird, but I figured that Syaoran-kun knows you pretty well so we didn't question it. And then he called us up last night and told us that you were fine and had gotten over it."
"What are you talking about? What grief?" Sakura asked.
"Syaoran-kun told us you will extremely upset and wanted to be left alone because your older brother had gotten into a car accident and died; I'm so sorry by the way," Misa told her.
Sakura clenched her fists, "He told you what! My brother is fine, I never wanted to be left alone; and I hate to be left alone when I'm really upset," Sakura told her.
"Oh; we are so sorry Sakura-chan," Misa apologized.
"Li!" Sakura screamed when she saw he walk through the school doors. She ran up to him and punched him. "You are the biggest bastard in the whole world!" she yelled before walking away.
Sakura still hadn't cooled down by the time she reached her locker. She put in her combination and opened the locker. When she opened the door a yellow envelop fell out. What is this? Sakura opened the envelop and took out the letter inside.
To Sakura-chan
I'm sorry for what I called you. I don't think you are a bitch. I just believe you've lost your way. When we were on our dates you were really lively and energetic. I must confess my reason for calling you such a nasty name was purely selfish. You see my parents are moving to Hong Kong and I have to go with them. So we will probably never see each other again. My family doesn't have much money so flying back to Japan wouldn't be an option until I get out of college. I said thos nasty things to you so you would forget about me and move on. I don't want to keep you waiting while I'm gone; I wanted you to have a happy school life, and the freedom to do what you want. I never planned to tell any of this to you, but I just found that I just couldn't handle it. And that I had to tell you the truth, for I really like you Sakura-chan.
Goodbye Sakura
Chance
Sakura felt tears well up in her eyes. I really liked you too, Goodbye Chance-kun.
"Whoa check out the hot babe!" A guy shouted as a girl with long blonde hair walked down the long white corridor.
"Don't you know who that is!?" his friend exclaimed.
"No; but she is hot," he replied.
"That is Eris Rodes; she is one of the eight members of the council," his friend told him.
Eris walked by the two guys; ignoring them. She walked down the corridor till she came to a large door marked For Council Member use only.
She opened the door and walked inside. The room was a large white room with eight chairs. Only one other person was in the room. She was a young woman in her mid twenties. She wore a black lacey dress that went to past her knees with a sweetheart neckline. She wore black mascara, make-up, eye shadow, and black nail polish. Her eyes were a bright blue and her long curly hair was a fiery orange. A small black flame about the size of a baseball was floating around her.
"Rina where is everyone else?" Eris asked the other girl. When she was ignored she spoke again. "Would you stop playing with your stupid demons and answer me!" she yelled.
"You don't have to yell," Rina told her. Rina spoke in a dark tone.
"The others are gone right now," an emotionless voice told Eris from behind her.
Eris spun around; in front of her was a young girl that looked the age of eight. She had long black hair and dark drown eyes. Her skin was ghostly pale and her eyes looked lifeless.
"Emy; would you stop going through walls and floor!" Eris yelled at the girl.
The girl shrugged and disappeared into the floor. "I was told we were going to have an important meeting," Eris told Rina.
"We are when our observer gets back," Rina replied. "He should be getting back from Japan in a week or two."
"Japan; what is this condition we have to vote on?" Eris asked.
"Something about the son of the Li's Syaoran Li," Emy told her as she came up trough the chair until she was now sitting on the chair.
"Li; now that is a name I haven't heard in a while," Eris muttered. "Please tell Clow-sama that I will be back in a week. I have something to take care of in Japan," Eris told the others.
"Very well," Emy replied before going through the chair and the floor.
"Arietta!" Areitta's mother called.
"Be there in a minute," Arietta called back. She got up from the chair she was sitting on and left her room. She walked down stairs. "What is it mom?" she asked as she entered the kitchen.
"You got a letter," she hissed throwing the letter at Arietta.
Arietta bent down and picked up the letter before headed back into her room. No return address or any address at all. It just says To Arietta on the envelope. It must have been put directly into our mailbox.
Arietta opened the letter and read it.
Dear Fox-san. You haven fallen for Syaoran Li, but he doesn't notice you at all. He could care less about you and he doesn't even remember your name. Do you want to step out of the shadows? Do you want him to notice you and become your boyfriend? I will help you Arietta-san. Syaoran-san will fall for you. All you have to do is go to the alley outside the arcade one week from now, and Syaoran-san will be yours.
From A Friend.

Author's Note
Yeah the Regret Arc is now finished. Next chapter starts the Crush Arc.
As you probably figured out, this is the last chapter with Chance. (He served his purpose, now he is now longer needed.) By the way a couple of other characters are approaching the last chapter they are in. *dark smile* but I'm not telling you who she is.
See ya
