Reunion

December 24th, Christmas Eve . . .

Snow drifted down from the sky. She stood in the graveyard, looking over a tombstone. A tear slid down her cheek as she placed a single red rose on the tombstone. The tear fell into the snow, on top of the grave.

"I love you . . ." she whispered as she turned and walked away.

The tear glistened in the in the snow. Suddenly a blinding white light engulfed the it, lifting it into the air. The rose floated over and lowered itself directly under the tear. The tear glowed with life as it descended through the flower. It dropped from the stem of the flower and dissolved into the ground. The flower wilted and crumbled when it hit the grave of Li Syaoran.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura in Math class, staring out of the window. She often did this, her mind drifting to the shining memories with Syaoran . . .

She shook her head. She had to get him out of her mind. She looked outside again. It was spring again. The large cherry tree was blossoming again. She remembered that was when she had invited Syaoran to the carnival. That was when she believed he had still been her friend. But he betrayed her. Sakura's brows knitted in a slight frown. (But . . .) He had given up his life for her. Sakura was confused. Her eyes got teary again as she stared at the cherry blossoms of the cherry tree.

Tomoyo glanced at her best friend. (There she goes again, thinking about Syaoran . . .) Tomoyo thought. (I wish things could be easier for her.) Tomoyo felt a gentle squeeze oh her shoulder. She turned around to face Eriol. He too held a sad expression.

After Syaoran's death, they had called the police and had arrested Syaoran's father and crew. They had a proper burial for Syaoran at the Tomoeda Cemetery AN: I made that up! . Then everything had gone back to normal, as if the whole Revitalization Gem incident had never occurred. Unfortunately Sakura never got over Syaoran.

"Miss Kinomoto, Miss Daidouji, and Mr. Hiirigazawa!?!" the teacher bellowed, drawing them all out of their deep thoughts. "Is there something interesting about the school yard?!?"

"Hoe . . . no Kaekota - sensei." Sakura mumbled, her eyes downcast. Tomoyo and Eriol both muttered a quiet apology.

Sakura sneaked another glance outside. Much to her surprise, a boy with chestnut coloured hair stood next to the cherry tree, his hand extending towards the classroom window. His amber eyes were warm and intense.

"SYAORAN!?!?!" Sakura leaped up from her desk and dashed out the door. Tomoyo and Eriol looked outside the window and gasped.

"My God! Is that really him?!" Eriol exclaimed. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"It is him!" Tomoyo smiled. She and Eriol bounded out the door behind Sakura, leaving a very disrupted classroom. Almost immediately, the class moved to the window to watch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura raced down the hall and sprinted through the front doors towards the cherry tree, Eriol and Tomoyo right behind her.

Sakura never bother to stop and ran straight into Syaoran's arms. Tears flooded her eyes as she held onto him, wanting to stay like that forever. She couldn't believe it. This had to be a dream. ( Why is he here? Isn't he dead? What happened to his grave? Is this a dream? ) A bunch of questions flew to her head.

"Sakura . . ." Syaoran whispered, his own tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry . . . and I . . ." Sakura silenced him with a kiss. Syaoran tensed at first but quickly responded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The classroom gasped!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomoyo smiled as tears of joy filled her eyes. She hugged Eriol.

"Let's leave them alone . . ." Eriol whispered. He led them back into the school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura broke the kiss and stepped back, looking into those deep brown eyes of his.

"You owe me an explanation buster!" Sakura put her hands on her hips and tapped her toe impatiently.

"Well you sure missed me didn't you?" Syaoran chuckled with sarcasm.

Sakura's expression softened. "Of course I missed you, you baka . . ." she hugged him again. "Please don't ever leave me again."

Syaoran lifted her head to face him. His face darkened. "I'm surprised you forgave me after what I did . . ." he looked away, ashamed.

"Who said I forgave you?" Sakura challenged. Syaoran looked up, confused at her words.

"B . . .B-But you-"

"I what? I never said I forgave you!" Sakura said with a teasing tone. She became serious. "But I want you to tell me what is going on here? What happened to your grave?"

"I'm not sure what exactly happened just that I woke up in a coffin. I tried to get out but I couldn't cause I was already buried. I thumped on the lid but no one heard me. I was running out of air and I thought I was going to die - er . . . again. Then I passed out. The next time I woke up, I was lying on top of my grave and was covered in snow. It was winter and there was a crumbled rose at my feet." Syaoran recalled.

"A crumbled rose?" Sakura asked, "But I put a fresh rose on your grave."

"Well it was crumbled when I found it." Syaoran said stubbornly.

"Okay, okay." Sakura raised her hands in defeat. "But, you said you woke up and it was winter right? Then how come you didn't show yourself until now?"

"Well . . ." Syaoran looked away, "I wasn't sure if you had forgiven me so I was afraid to show my face . . ." he looked back at her, "and I was right, ne? You still haven't forgiven me yet." A tiny smile played at the edges of his lips.

"Well whatever happened, I'm glad you're back." Sakura embraced him in a tight hug. Then she smacked across the shoulder. "I can't believe you put the mission before me! How could you do that to me! And to think I trusted you . . ." She turned her back on him.

"Huh? Oh! I uh . . . well you see, I didn't really do that! It was . . .my . . . mission." He looked confused for a minute. "Yeah, okay, you win . . ." he shrugged.

"Oh and, of all times to show up, you picked the worst time to! Now I'm going to get detention again! HOEE! I'd better get back to class!!!" Sakura and Syaoran ran back to class to face an angry teacher.

"DETENTION!" ^_^U
