Broken Promise
Final Chapter: Forgiven

"Thank you so much Megumi-chan for helping me pack. It would have taken so much longer without you," Sakura hugged Megumi tightly.

"You're welcome, Sakura-chan," Megumi smiled back at her. "I didn't want you to have to pack up, and box your things all by yourself. So, of course I'd help you."

"Megumi-chan, you're so kind." Sakura looked about her now empty apartment. She couldn't believe that she was able to pack up her life in a few boxes.

"I can't believe that you're leaving so soon," Megumi said sadly as she and Sakura sat down on the floor. "Do you really have to leave tomorrow? Can't you just tell Aoki-san that you need a couple more days?"

"I can't. Besides, Aoki-kun's been in England for two weeks alone now. I don't want him to be lonely." Megumi nodded in agreement.

"I guess you're right, Sakura-chan. Oh," Megumi said as she noticed a box nearby, "this still needs to be taped shut." Megumi got up, and walked over with the tape. As she was sealing the box, something caught her eye.

Sakura went over to see what had caught Megumi's attention. "Oh, I remember that!" Sakura exclaimed happily as she picked it up. It was a picture of Syaoran and her at the Festival before he left for Hong Kong all those years ago.

"Syaoran-kun," Sakura mumbled absentmindedly as she wiped a tear away. 'Why couldn't things have just stayed that way forever?' "Why did you have to leave me, Syaoran-kun?"

"Sakura-chan," Sakura looked up, surprised. She had totally forgotten that Megumi was there.

"I'm sorry, Megumi-chan," Sakura bowed apologetically to her friend.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Sakura looked back down at the picture in her hand.

"No, you're not," Sakura met Megumi's steady gaze, shocked by her abrupt words. "I know that everything between you and Syaoran-kun's unresolved." Sakura looked away. "You and Syaoran-kun have been through a lot together," Megumi paused, the sadness evident in her voice, "which is something that me and Syaoran could never have."

"Megumi-chan..." Sakura cried out suddenly, and hugged her friend. "Please don't be sad. That all happened when we were kids. That was eight years ago. And besides, I love Aoki-kun, and Syaoran loves you."

"But Sakura-chan, I know that you both still care for each other." Megumi pulled away, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve. "You know, you're hurting Syaoran-kun."

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked surprised.

"You know very well what I mean. You're going to England. You're leaving him."
"He doesn't care if I go," Sakura turned away from Megumi. "He left me for eight years, and besides, he loves you now."

"You shouldn't lie to yourself. You know Syaoran cares for you,...he loves you, Sakura-chan."

"But, Megumi-chan...," Sakura was at a loss of words.

Megumi walked towards the door, "You need to forgive Syaoran for leaving you, Sakura-chan. Please go and talk to him." And Megumi opened the door and left.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Syaoran was stirring a pot of soup, he pulled the spoon up to his lips, and took a taste. 'Hmm, could use more salt.'

Knock, knock

Syaoran put the spoon down, and walked briskly to the door. "Forgot your keys again Megumi? I've made some soup for dinner tonight, could you taste it for me and tell me if it's alright?" Syaoran opened the door, "Sakura?"

"Good evening Syaoran-kun," Sakura smiled weakly. "Do you still need someone to taste that soup of yours?"

"Umm, yea, come in." Syaoran stood awkwardly to the side, and made room for Sakura to enter. He closed the door after her, and walked back towards the kitchen, not meeting her gaze.

"Yum, that sure does smell delicious." Sakura followed after him, and looked into the pot. Syaoran handed her a spoon, and she took a taste. "Yup, I was right. It is good." Sakura said with a smile.

Syaoran nodded. "So, where's Megumi?" he asked as he pulled down a couple of bowls.

"She isn't here?" Syaoran shook his head. 'I guess she wanted to give Syaoran and I privacy.' Sakura accepted the bowl of soup, "thank you Syaoran-kun."

"You're leaving tomorrow?" Syaoran asked as he took a sip of his soup.

"Yeah. My plane leaves at 10 o'clock in the morning," Sakura put down her bowl, and looked at Syaoran. "I'm sorry, Syaoran-kun."

"For what?" He looked at her surprised.

"For getting mad at you for leaving me for eight years. But I realized that I should be the one saying sorry. I broke my promise to you, I-I shouldn't have betrayed you like that." Syaoran turned away.

"Please forgive me Syaoran-kun, I never should have hurt you like that." Sakura was now on her knees crying into Syaoran's lap. "I'm sorry for making you feel pain, for making you feel sad. I never wanted to do that Syaoran-kun." Sakura looked up trying to see his amber brown eyes. "Please, look at me Syaoran. Please," after a few moments, Sakura gave up.

"I'll leave you now. I'm sorry that I disturbed your dinner." Syaoran didn't look up until he heard the door close behind her. Syaoran picked up his spoon, took a taste, but it was still lacking something.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Syaoran-kun, Syaoran-kun, wake up." Megumi shook his shoulder gently.

"Yea, I'm up," Syaoran sat up, and blinked his eyes quickly, trying to adjust them to the light. "What time is it?"

"It's 9 o'clock. You need to get going, or else you won't make it." Megumi went over to his closet and began to pull out some clothes. "Here put this on." Megumi tossed a pair of khakis and a dark blue shirt.

"What? Where do I need to go?" Syaoran pulled the sheets away and stood up.

"Sakura's plane is leaving in one hour. You need to go now." Megumi walked out of the room so Syaoran could change. After a few minutes, he came out, fully dressed.

"I'm not going." Syaoran slouched down on the couch.

"What? You have to go." Megumi sat down on the couch next to him. She drew up her feet, and hugged her legs. "You don't want to lose her again, do you?"

"But she already has Aoki."

"Li-san, you shouldn't be afraid to be with her. She loves you." Megumi touched his cheek gently. "Please don't let what happened in the past hurt your future."

"What if... what if she finds someone else again? What happens if she gets bored of me?" Syaoran looked down.

"She won't. I could tell right away, that her feelings for you returned immediately when she saw you again for the first time."

"Then why did she stay with Aoki?" Syaoran looked up, and met Megumi's gaze.

"Because Sakura didn't want to hurt him. She cares for him too. Please forgive Sakura, Li-san."

"But what about you? I don't want to hurt you, Megumi. You've been so good to me... it wouldn't be fair to you." Syaoran put a hand on Megumi's shoulder.

"Li-san, all I care about is your happiness. Now please go, or else it would be too late." Syaoran stood up, and began to walk towards the door. He turned around and looked at her, "I'll be fine. Now stop worrying, and get going. There's a cab downstairs already waiting for you."

Syaoran walked back towards Megumi, and hugged her. "Thank you for everything, Megumi-chan." And Syaoran turned and quickly left. Megumi went over towards the window, and pulled the curtain aside. She watched as Syaoran hopped into the taxi, and drove off towards the airport.

Megumi picked up the phone. "Hello, it's me." pause "Yea, it worked. Li-san's on his way now." pause "I know, it's for the best. At least Sakura and Li will be happy and together again." Megumi sobbed softly. "No, I'm fine Aoki-san. I'll be okay." pause "Have a good time in England." pause "Alright, I'll be sure to visit you sometime. Bye."

Megumi hung up the phone and sat back on the couch, and cried silently into a pillow.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Flight 363 is now boarding. Please get your ticket ready for the attendant."
Sakura sighed, and got into the line. Her feet shuffled slowly as made her way to the front of the line. "Your ticket, miss?"

"Here," Sakura handed her ticket to the attendant. Sakura turned and looked around. 'I guess he isn't coming after all."

"Alright, thank you." Sakura began to walk past the attendant.

"Sakura!"

Sakura turned around quickly, and saw Syaoran running towards the gate. "Syaoran-kun!" Sakura yelled happily as she ran towards Syaoran, and met him in a hug.

"I was so scared that you already left," Syaoran hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry, Sakura. I should never have made you wait eight years." Syaoran hugged her tighter, afraid that he might lose her.

"No, I'm sorry Syaoran-kun. I'm sorry for hurting." Syaoran pulled away, and looked into her bright emerald green eyes. "Let's promise to never leave each other again," Sakura held out her pinky. Syaoran hooked his finger with hers.

"I promise." Syaoran said with a smile. "I love you, Sakura."

"I love you too, Syaoran-kun." Syaoran pulled Sakura close to him, tilted her head up, and gently kissed her. The plane began to make its way down the runway, as the two became lost in their embrace.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Eight years later

The two broke the embrace, and smiled at the crowd. Syaoran looked down and smiled happily at his beautiful wife. Sakura smiled back at her husband and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, Sakura-chan's so beautiful," Tomoyo squealed with happiness as she video taped the newlyweds.

"Yea! You did a good job on her gown, Tomoyo," Kero said from his hiding spot in her purse. "I should have known you'd become a world famous designer. All those costumes you made were good practice."

Sakura and Syaoran walked down the aisle, with Tomoyo following from behind. "I can't believe my sister married that brat." Touya complained as he followed after them.

"Touya, don't be like that," Yukito said from behind. "You should be happy for your sister, because she's happy. Right, Meiling-chan?" Yukito turned to girl that he escorted.

"Yes. That's right. They're happy. As long as Syaoran's with the person he loves most." Meiling looked a little sad, but she still smiled.

"Yea, but why that brat! Ahh! Stop it, Akizuki!" Touya yelled as a girl grabbed his arm suddenly.

"Na-ku-ru," Nakuru tapped his nose with each syllable. "Sakura-chan is so cute, ne Touya-kun?!"

"I knew Sakura-san and Li-san would get together. I'm glad they found happiness with each other," Eriol said as he took Kaho's arm and escorted down her down the aisle.

"Yes. I knew they would be fine. Like always, everything will be alright," Kaho said with a smile.
The couple made it outside and was smiling and hugging their friends, and relatives. Megumi stood off to the side, quietly to herself.

"They sure do look great together, don't they?" A voice said from behind.

"Yeah, they sure do, Aoki-kun." Aoki came up and stood next to her. He put his arm around her waist, and she leaned her head onto his shoulder. "They look so happy," Megumi said as she saw Syaoran kiss Sakura lightly on the cheek.

"Do I sense a little bit of regret?" Aoki turned and looked at her.

"No, of course not." And Aoki placed a light kiss on her lips.

"Me too," Aoki and Megumi smiled at one another, content with the idea that they had reunited the soul mates, but also because they had found each other.
