When the Last Teardrop Falls
Part: One
Chapter: Sixteen
"I know that there's a dance tonight, so I'm not going to assign that much homework," Ms. Mckenzie smiled. The class let out a loud sigh of relief.
"Okay tonight's homework are pages 230, 231, 232, 233, and 244," Ms. Mckenzie contiued as she wrote the assignment on the board. The class cracked and groaned as they wrote down the pages into their notebooks.
"Anymore?" Meilin asked sarcastically.
"Well, if you're that eager, you can do these two worksheets," Ms. Mckenzie concluded handing Meilin two sheets of paper. The class laughed at Meilin.
Driing! Driing!
"Okay, class dismissed," Ms. Mckenzie waved the class out. "See you all tonight," she smiled. The class quickly packed up their books and ran out the room yelling and screaming. The hallways were packed with hyper students. All who were very excited about the Valentines Dance, that evening. Everyone was hoping that the one person that they were crushing on all year, would be there, and that they would finally have to chance to spend some time with them, or maybe even dance with them. Sakura was one of those people. She was thrilled that Li asked her to the dance, and she took it as a sign. Li on the other hand, would've been just as eager to tell her, it's just a little more complicated than that though. Li was leaving Japan to go back home and take care of some business. Tonight would either be the day he has been longing to have for a long time now, or it would be his worst nightmare.
"So Sakura, are you going to the dance tonight?" Madison asked approaching her friend who was obviously in dreamland. Sakura didn't reply, she just kept on gazing and imagining the dance.
"Hello?" Madison laughed waving her hand infront of her.
"Oh! Madison!" Sakura jumped as she awoke from her thoughts.
"Welcome back," Madison laughed.
"Did you say something?' Sakura shook her head as she grabbed several items from her locker.
"I asked you if you were going to the dance tonight?" Madison repeated.
"Uh, yeah" Sakura blushed.
"Why are you turning red Sakura?" Madison crossed her arms leaning against her locker.
"Nothing..." Sakura bit her lip.
"So...Sakura...what time am I picking you up tonight?" Li asked nervously as he approached the two girls. Madison tried her best to keep her jaw from falling, and instead gave both of them the eybrow.
"Don't pick me up," Sakura smiled.
"Huh?" Li blinked in confusion.
"I'll just meet you here at the dance," Sakura shrugged.
"Okay, if you say so, I guess I'll see you later," Li smiled and left. Sakura stared at Li until he was out of sight, she then let out a long sigh and closed her locker. Madison paused for a moment, analyzing the situation and finally spoke.
"I guess that could make you turn red..." Madison laughed.
"Not funny Madison!" Sakura pushed her friend away from her.
"I think so," Madison grinned. "Don't pick me up Li, I'll just meet you at the dance," she mocked Sakura.
"Hey!" Sakura chased her friend around the hall. "I didn't say it like that!" she complained.
"Sure sounded like it," Madison giggled.
"Okay seriously Madison, I need your help," Sakura begged.
"Uh-huh, after chasing me around you need my help," Madison laughed.
"No, really Madison, I really really really need your help," Sakura begged.
"Yeah, and what is it?" Madison tried to keep herself from laughing.
"I need you to help me pick something out for the dance," Sakura replied quietly. Madison laughed for a moment.
"What's so funny?" Sakura pouted.
"I thought you'd never ask," Madison laughed grabbing Sakura wrist and dragging her home.
_____________________________________________________________
"Meilin, you're making a mess!" Li grumbled as he picked up everything Meilin threw onto the floor.
"Well, you wanted me to help you pick something out for tonight didn't you?" Meilin put her hands on her waist.
"Yes, but I didn't want you to put all my bad clothes out on sale," Li grumbled still trying to pick up all his clothes.
"Be grateful that I'm helping you, after all, it is...Sakura" Meilin quivered at the sound of her name.
"Hey! Hey! Watch it Meilin," Li warned her.
"Okay okay, she's YOUR japanese pom pom," Meilin said sarcastically as she pretended that she was a cheerleader.
"Alright alright, but seriously what should I wear," Li sighed as he stared at his closet.
"I don't know what Sakura likes," Meilin whined throwing more clothes onto the floor.
"Meilin!!" Li groaned as he tried to catch the flying clothes.
"What?!" Meilin screamed throwing more clothes onto the ground.
"Can you PLEASE stop thowing my clothes onto the floor!!" Li waved his arms around as he lost his temper.
"Fine!!!!" Meilin yelled with fire in her eyes. Li backed down.
"I realized you don't know what Sakura likes but, well, what would YOU want me to wear if I was taking you?" Li asked reluctantly. Meilin stood there for a few minutes thinking of her answer. She quickly buried herself in Li's closet looking for an outfit. Finally she popped out from under his clothes with her hands behind her back, and an evil grin on her face.
"Well?" Li waved his hands awaiting an answer. "Did you choose something?"
"Do you really want to know?" Meilin grinned.
"Okay...Meilin...uh...." Li stuttered. Meilin slowly made her way to Li with her hands still behind her back, and that grin still pasted on her face.
"Aww come one Li, my taste in clothes isn't that horrible," Meilin rolled her eyes.
"Okay, fine," Li closed his eyes and swallowed his fears. "What did you choose?"
"This," Meilin replied taking the outfit from behind her. Li stared at her choice, slowly scanning it.
"Where'd you find something like that?" Li smiled.
"It was hidden deep in the depths of Li's closet," Meilin talked like an announcer.
"Whatever, give me that," Li laughed grabbing the clothes and ran to the bathroom. Meilin picked up the clothes on the floor and neatly placed them back in his closet as he took a shower. After she was done, she plopped herself onto his couch, and let out a big sigh.
"Take care of him for me Sakura..." Meilin sighed letting a small tear roll down her cheek.
______________________________________________________________
"How about this Madison?" Sakura asked anxiously as she pulled yet another outfit from her closet.
"No!" Kero pouted.
"For the millionth time Kero, I was asking Madison!!" Sakura yelled as she chased Kero trying to flick him away.
"Is there anything else you have Sakura?" Madison asked hopefully.
"Well, you are rejecting almost all of my outfits Madison," Sakura complained as she put the clothes back in her closet.
"I told you that you should've picked you clothes BEFORE you take a shower, but No!!" Madison pouted. Sakura glared at her. "What exactly are you looking for?" Madison leaned back in her chair.
"I think the real question is, what exactly are YOU looking for?" Sakura laughed.
"I don't know," Madison scratched her chin. Sakura sweat dropped. "Do you just want me to run home and get one of your Card Capturing costumes.
"Madison, main word being COSTUME," Sakura pointed out.
"Fine, fine, I thought they were kinda cute," Madison pouted.
"Were you looking for a dress, or a skirt?" Sakura gave up and sat on her bed.
"Well, a spring dress would really be cute," Madison thought hard.
"I don't want to be cute for Li!" Sakura protested.
"This is all about Li?!" Kero stuck his tongue out in disgust.
"Aww come one Kero, be supportive," Sakura begged.
"Yeah, it's not like you didn't know that this day would eventually come," Madison rolled her eyes. Kero kept quiet.
"Do you have an idea of a perfect outfit?" Sakura asked as if she had a trick up her sleeve.
"Yes...why?" Madison asked nervously. Sakura only grinned and flashed the Create Card infront of her.
"Sakura, you are a genius! A pure genius!!" Madison cheered.
"No, she's a Card Captor, a pure Card Captor," Kero rolled his eyes. The two girls glared at him. Once again Kero kept quiet.
"Go, hurry!" Madison yelled excitedly. Sakura nodded and closed her eyes.
"O Key of Clow...Power of Magic...Power of Light...Surrender the Wand...The Force ignite...Release!!" Sakura ordered as the small key extended into the powerful sealing wand. Without hesitating Sakura quickly began her next command.
"Create Card...Lend your powers to Madison...Release!!" Sakura concluded as they all watched the create powers surround Madison until a simple book appeared infront of her.
"That..was..cool," Madison panted trying to catch her breath.
"Thanks," Sakura stood confidently. "Um, Madison..." she coughed staring at the book.
"Oh, right," Madison snapped out of her thoughts and began to draw. Slowly, piece by piece Sakura's new dress attached itself to her. Sakura watched in amazement as her new outfit appeared before her. Finally the dress was finished. The gown was a light shade of pink, just like cherry blossoms. (Face it people, Sakura and Cherry Blossoms forever match!) It was sleeveless, but instead had two very short and thin straps that brought the neckline near her coller bone. The waist line was perfect fit. It didn't hug her too much, but didn't flow loosely either. After her hips, the dress simply let go, and flowed freely until it reached the bottom of her knee. Everyone stared in awe as Sakura was instantly transformed into a modern day Juliet.
"It's beautiful Madison!" Sakura gasped.
"You're welcome," Madison laughed as she watched her best friend admire herself in the mirror.
"How about the shoes?" Sakura asked noticing that she had to shoes to match.
"Who do you think you are, Cinderella?" Madison asked sarcastically.
"I'm serious Madison," Sakura laughed.
"Fine, fine," Madison sighed and drew white shoes with short heels.
"Aww Madison, can't you make them higher?" Sakura whined.
"Hey! Li isn't that tall you know," Madison put her hands on her waist.
"Be nice!" Sakura pouted feeling a little offended.
"That's the best thing I've heard all night," Kero laughed. They all stared at Kero.
"Now, will you stop admiring yourself, I have to fix your hair before we're late," she rolled her eyes, still happy for her friend. Sakura smiled and sat infront of Madison.
"Thank you," Sakura sighed happily.
"Don't mention it," Madison smiled.
___________________________________________________________
"Where is she Meilin?" Li asked worriedly as he looked over the dancing crowd.
"Give her some time, a girl has many things to do," Meilin rolled her eyes, but still laughed.
"Alright, alright," Li sighed trying to calm down. He sloughed in his seat and stared at all his classmates dance to some odd music that he never heard before in his life.
"Come on Li, relax a bit, the music is nice," Meilin smiled as she swayed to the fast music. Li stared at her strangely.
"What is this...music?" Li asked in disgust.
"Hey! It's cool!" Meilin argued starting to sway a little faster. Li waited in his seat patiently fiddling with his thumbs. He seemed to be mumbling something to himself, but Meilin couldn't quite hear what he was saying.
"Planning to tell Sakura something tonight Li?" Meilin teased.
"No!" Li pouted turning his head to another part of the dance floor.
"Oh well," Meilin shrugged. "Here is your chance," she concluded and walked away.
"Huh?" Li asked nervously, but it was too late, Meilin had walked too fast. He looked around the floor trying to find her, but only found...Sakura. He gasped at the sight. She was...was...so...beautiful. She didn't see him yet though. Li gulped nervously and watched as she slowly made her way to the dance floor looking for him. He dress swayed as if a wind were blowing it around. The cozy shade of pink cherry blossom matched perfectly with her skin tone and hair. Her eyes let out a happy twinkle as she smiled at her various classmates. Her smile was very welcoming. It melted his heart. He sighed sadly knowing that there was no way that she would ever love him back.
'How did I fall in love with you...' Li thought, slowly making his way to her.
"Sakura," Li called out from behind her. Sakura stopped walking and trembled at the sound of his voice. A smile quickly came over her face as she turned around to look at him.
"Hey Li," Sakura greeted. She gasped as she looked at what Li was wearing. He was wearing a jean jacket (Dash Card ) But it looked like a darker shade of blue because of the lighting in the room. The white sleeveless shirt underneath brightened his face, making it easier to see his warm amber eyes. The two eyes seemed to shimmer as his put on a charming smile. She scanned him slowly, looking at his baggy blue jean pants. Baggy looked pretty cool on him, but it was a shame that he doesn't dress up that often.
"I hope you weren't here too long," Sakura asked worriedly after gaining back her composure.
"No, not really," Li shrugged. Sakura smiled knowing that he was lying, but didn't bother bringing it up. Suddenly a familiar fast song could be heard from all across the room. Li grinned and held out his hand looking straight into her eyes. Sakura stared at his hand for a moment, wondering why he wanted to dance to a fast song but trusted him anyway. Li confidently led to both of them to the middle of the dance floor. All their classmates stared in interest as they watched LI led Sakura to the center.
"What are you doing Li?" Sakura asked nervously.
"All you need to know is two things," Li smiled confidently.
"Okay..." Sakura looked at him oddily.
"Count in beats of, one two, one two, back back, then do it all over again," Li shrugged showing her how to do it.
"And the second?" Sakura questioned.
"Two?" Li asked as if he had a trick up his sleeve. "Two...trust me," he grinned. Sakura smiled and nodded her head in agreement. Li then began to count the beats outloud to her and Sakura followed them quite easily. Sakura was learning to...swing dance?? Li was teaching her how to swing dance??
"You're a fast learner," Li grinned as if this was nothing...then again it was nothing.
"Well, is this all?" Sakura teased.
"Oh no, we're just getting started," Li shrugged.
"Really?" Sakura asked quite intrigued by his remark. "What else?"
"Okay I guess you're ready," Li smiled. "Now, no matter what, don't lose the beats," he instructed.
"No problem," Sakura winked. Li immediately began to swing her around and do up and down tricks with their hands. He spun her around, going back to back and side to side. Sakura was quite impressed by Li's dancing skills, so was the classes. Loud gasps could be heard from around the room as they watched the shy and serious Li spin the very popular Sakura back and forth. It was quite hard for Sakura to keep her concentration while Li spun her as quickly as he did. But of course, it was Sakura, so she caught up.
"Where did Li learn how to do that?" Madison asked Meilin from the inside crowd.
"If you watch closely, they're actually fighting moves," Meilin laughed. "Look how he flipped her."
"What a cheater!!" Madison exclaimed. The class turned around to look at her. Madison shrugged at the staring crowd as she turned her attention back to the couple on the floor. Finally the song ended with a loud round of applause. Li decided to do one last trick and quickly dipped Sakura, brought her back out and twirled her outwards still holding on to her hand. Sakura's dress spun wildly as she swirled away from her partner still holding a firm grasp to his hand. She came to a sudden halt causing her dress to spin faster before it slowly came back to neutral. So now their ending position was Li on one end, Sakura on the other but they were still connected by their hands. Li bowed proudly. Sakura, who was out of breath just waved at her fellow peers. The two dancers made their way off the dance floor to get something to drink as another song was being played. Some students made their way to the floor with their dates trying to make an attempt to replay what Li and Sakura had just done.
"Where did you learn how to do that Li?" Sakura asked still surprised.
"My secret," Li grinned.
"Well I'm very impressed," Sakura complimented sipping from her cup.
"I'm impressed too, you seemed to keep up with me quite well for a beginner," Li smiled. 'Then again, she is kind of like a fighter,' he thought.
"It's seems like you started some sort of madness though," Sakura laughed as she pointed to her classmates.
"Yeah, I guess so," Li laughed along.
"I'm telling Wei!" Meilin pouted.
"Yeah you cheater," Madison nodded in agreement.
"What are you guys talking about?" Sakura asked looking at the three friends.
"I...uh...well..." Li blushed in embarrassment.
"Yes?" Sakura asked in great interest. Li looked at Meilin and Madison, they too were waiting in great interest.
"Well...you see..." Li gulped.
"Well you see the moves that he used were basically fighting moves that Wei taught us when we were still training back home," Meilin concluded happily. There was a period of silence.
"HAHAHAHA!!!" Sakura blurted out. Li turned away trying not to show his cherry red face.
"Aww...you're so cute Li," Sakura smiled. Li slowly turned around to see if she was being serious. She was. That bright smile was sweetly placed on her face. Li smiled back and sighed.
"Thanks..." Li shrugged.
"Darn it!" Meilin pouted and stomped off. Madison laughed and followed her.
"I must admit, that was very smart Li," Sakura giggled. "You're so talented," she laughed.
"Well you taught me how to slow dance, now that is what I call talent," Li played along. Slowly, as if fate were playing a game on the two, a slow song came on. Li looked down at the floor nervously still sipping his drink. Sakura looked at him, then at the dance floor. It was empty. The first slow song was always the one that everyone was nervous and shy about. Finally a couple made their way to the floor. Once again gasps could be heard from across the room. The two people dancing were...were...Ms. Mckenzie and Mr. Terada?? One at a time students whistling echoed around the room, followed by laughter. The commotion settled down as various couples made their way to the floor.
"I want to see if I still have it in me," Li began casually. Sakura looked at him in confusion.
"Would you dance with me, Sakura?" Li asked nervously. Sakura smiled and took his hand once more. They slowly made their way to the dance floor with the other students...and teachers. Sakura slowly slid her arms around his neck as Li gently placed his arms around her waist. They swayed every so slowly in a circle, heads side by side. They could hear eachother breathe slowly. Both calm, but somehow uneasy.
"I think you still have it in you," Sakura smiled. Li who was really nervous began to relax a little smiled and held her closer.
"Thanks to you," Li whispered. Sakura once again could feel a slight chill spread throughout her body. She let out a soft sigh and leaned her head against his neck and on his shoulder. Something inside of her urged her to tell him her feelings now. Sakura wasn't sure, she was confused, nervous, scared and so caught up in her emotions. Maybe now was the perfect time...
"Can you keep a promise Li?" Sakura asked nervously. Li thought for a moment. But sighed knowing that he couldn't refuse Sakura.
"Anything," Li smiled.
"Never leave me alone..." Sakura concluded almost crying. Li pulled away to look into her eyes.
'Does she know?' Li asked himself worriedly. He watched as a small tear rolled down her cheek. He gently placed his hand on her face and wiped the tear away, still gazing into her sad emerald eyes. She stared into his warm amber eyes trying to look for an answer. She looked back and forth from one eye to another searching for hope. Sakura slowly moved closer to him, bringing her head up and tilting it at a slight angle. Li too lowered his head tilting it as he moved forward. Sakura closed her eyes and reached out for him. Li lowered his head a little more and tilted it at a perfect angle to kiss her, and closed his eyes. Sakura could feel his soft hair tickle her forehead ever so slightly. They were very close to eachother now until Li's thoughts got the best of him. He opened his eyes reluctantly and pulled away hesitantly. Sakura felt his face pull away and slowly opened her eyes. They stared into eachothers eyes, both almost crying. Sakura looked around noticing that they were the only people on the floor, and that everybody was watching. She turned her attention back to Li. He shook his head sadly, causing Sakura to run out of the room with tears streaming down her cheek. Li stood in the middle of the dance floor motionless. He stayed there for awhile before quietly making his way back to the side. The room was full of silence.
"What went wrong!?" Meilin and Madison exclaimed.
"I couldn't break my promise..." Li bit his lip.
"Yeah, and what was that?" Meilin pouted.
"She asked me to never leave her alone...and if I leave her when I go back home...I..." Li mumbled sadly.
"You're breaking her promise right now Li," Madison pointed out. "She's all alone somewhere..." she sighed.
"Go after her Li," Meilin shook him in frustration.
"I can't," Li turned away.
"Then she isn't worth it, is she?" Madison questioned. Li stood still and turned around.
"She isn't worth losing!! Li cried out and ran out into the dark halls.
"Good luck Li..." Madison and Meilin sighed worriedly.
Li ran around frantically searching for the girl of his dreams. He looked in each and every room in the school. He ran up and down the stairs, and looked out every window. He could hear his heart beat faster and faster with every step he took. He was starting to lose control of his legs, at any moment now he could collapse. There was no sign of her. He looked out one last window, and saw her outside on the grass. He quickly began to run again, down the halls, and through the doors. He flung the last door wide open and ran towards Sakura. She was sitting quietly on the fresh grass staring up at the pitch black sky that was only lightened by the taunting moon and it's children, the stars. She could hear someone coming closer to her at great speed, but didn't bother to turn around to see who it was.
"Sakura," Li panted through his breaths. Sakura was still silent.
"Sakura, please," Li begged. "Please talk to me," he cupped his hands begging for forgiveness. She stood up and stared angrily at him.
"What do you want Li!!" Sakura cried out in pain. "What do you want from me?!" she screamed. "I've given you everything you've asked for, I trusted you, I was always there for you, I stood by your side through thick and thin, I gave my heart to you, and after all this I've fallen in love with you!!!" she confessed. "And yet, none of this seems enough for you, you pull away from me, you make me feel like you love me back, and you leave me crying in pain," she concluded. "Why? Why!!!" Sakura cried as she began to run away again.
"Don't run away from me Sakura!! Please!!" Li begged. "I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!!" he cried out falling on his knees. Sakura stopped running and turned around angrily. Her anger turned to sadness as she watched the brave warrior go on his kness begging for forgiveness.
"I don't want to you cry, I don't want you to feel alone, I don't want you to stop loving me either," pounded his fists on the ground in frustration. "Please...don't stop caring for me..." he begged. "But if you must I just want you to know this," he continued softly still on the ground.
"Don't do this to me Li..." Sakura turned her hands into a fist. "You are just playing games on my mind, and with my heart...STOP IT!" she cried falling to her knees in pain. Li slowly stood up and walked closer to her trying to hold his tears inside.
"Sakura, when I look at the person I used to be, I was just being the person that was expected of me. But when I met you, a girl who shared the same curse and fate as I, you were so different. You knew what was expected of you, and yet, somehow, you still found a way to maintain your true identity," Li began softly.
"What are you saying Li?" Sakura asked firmly trying not to give into him.
"I'm saying that before I met you, I thought I was only born to carry the burdin of the Clow, and when it was all over, I felt like I didn't know who I was anymore. I felt like there was an empty space inside of me, something missing, something I over looked, and slowly I came to realize, it was you," Li continued finally letting a small tear roll down his cheek.
"Li, don't-" Sakura began to cry again realizing what he was saying.
"Sakura," Li interrupted still getting closer to her. "You changed my life, without you I'd still be the sad lonely boy I once was. A boy looking for a reason, an identity, and for that, I thank you," he finally concluded with tears streaming down his cheek.
"Why are you doing this to me!" Sakura cried as she threw her arms onto his chest pounding it over and over again in frustration. Li wrapped his arms around her, trying to calm her down and never wanting to let her go again. He held her close letting her cry on him. He rocked her back and forth, gently stroking her hair. She looked back up at him and shook her head sadly. "No, you don't love me! You're just saying that!" Sakura protested and ran away from him again.
"Sakura! Please believe me!" Li begged as he ran after his beloved. He caught up to her and tried to make her stop running but she refused.
"I set myself up for this, I loved you too much and now my heart is broken!" Sakura cried pushing Li away from her. "If you loved me, then why did you do that to me, infront of the whole school!!!" she reminded.
"How can I prove my love for you?!" Li fell on his knees begging for help, guidence, advice, ANYTHING! It was uselees, he blew it. Sakura stared at him in shock after he asked the question. All was silent.
"How can I prove my love for you Sakura?" Li asked softly. "How do I prove the sky is blue? Or the ocean is wide?" he cried quietly on the ground. Sakura bit her lip, and clutched her hands into a fist, trying not to cry or give in to him.
"I will love you until the world stops spinning, the heavens fall to hell, and I will love you when the last teardrop falls...I will love you always and forever Sakura," Li confessed finally looking up at her. Sakura cried silently and quickly fell to her knees crying infront of him.
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura threw her arms around him and cried on his shoulder. "Why...why did you have to do this to me..." she asked through her cry.
"Because I love you..." Li whispered softly through her auburn hair. Sakura slowly stopped crying and pulled away to look at his eyes. His amber eyes were full of sadness and tears. Sakura gently placed her hand on his cheek and wiped a tear away with her thumb.
"I love you too Li..." Sakura replied softly. Li smiled and ran hid fingers through her hair. They smiled at eachother, both never wanting this moment to pass. They gazed into eachothers eyes happily, finally knowing how they feel. Once more Li moved closer to Sakura lowering his head slowly and letting it go on a slight tilt. Sakura tilted her head finally waiting for that kiss. Li moved in once more and closed his eyes. Sakura closed her eyes and tilted her head in that perfect angle. Once again she could feel his soft hair tickle her forehead. Li could smell the wonderful scent of cherry blossoms in Sakura's hair. Sakura could feel Li's lips touch her's as he kissed her lightly. The light kiss slowly turned to a pssionate kiss as neither of them wanted to let go of their bond. Sakura carefully slid her hands behind his head pulling him in closer as Li brought his hands up on her back holding her closer to him. They slowly let go and sat down still holding eachother tightly. The stars were shining brighter than ever, as the moon seemed to be watching over them. They lay under it all on the soft green grass, just laying in eachothers arms as a light breeze flung their hair gently.
"How did I fall in love with you..." Sakura asked softly as she looked over Li. He just smiled and kissed her lightly. Nothing in the world seemed to matter to either of them, just as long as they were in it...together.

ask me I thought that I could do a wwwwwwhhhhhhhhooooooolllllllleeeeeee lot better than this. I
had sooo many ideas but by the time a actually came to writing this chapter, i totally went blank!
I had writers block for four days, which it totally not normal for me. Oh and if your wondering
how i could have four days of writers block, and be able to post it up on time, it's because
by the time i posted chapter 11 i think it was, i was already finished 12, 13, 14, and 15. Yep,
before I post a chapter up I should have a least four chapters ahead of the readers. Hey! I do
that to make sure you're not bored! Anyways please! please! please review!
I know you probably all thought that this was the last chapter, well...YOU ARE WRONG! HA!
I still have one more conflict to resolve. Yep you said it, Li still has to leave Sakura *sniff*
but will he? Well, you'll have to wait and see!
When the Last Teardrop Falls
Part: One
Chapter: Sixteen
"I know that there's a dance tonight, so I'm not going to assign that much homework," Ms. Mckenzie smiled. The class let out a loud sigh of relief.
"Okay tonight's homework are pages 230, 231, 232, 233, and 244," Ms. Mckenzie contiued as she wrote the assignment on the board. The class cracked and groaned as they wrote down the pages into their notebooks.
"Anymore?" Meilin asked sarcastically.
"Well, if you're that eager, you can do these two worksheets," Ms. Mckenzie concluded handing Meilin two sheets of paper. The class laughed at Meilin.
Driing! Driing!
"Okay, class dismissed," Ms. Mckenzie waved the class out. "See you all tonight," she smiled. The class quickly packed up their books and ran out the room yelling and screaming. The hallways were packed with hyper students. All who were very excited about the Valentines Dance, that evening. Everyone was hoping that the one person that they were crushing on all year, would be there, and that they would finally have to chance to spend some time with them, or maybe even dance with them. Sakura was one of those people. She was thrilled that Li asked her to the dance, and she took it as a sign. Li on the other hand, would've been just as eager to tell her, it's just a little more complicated than that though. Li was leaving Japan to go back home and take care of some business. Tonight would either be the day he has been longing to have for a long time now, or it would be his worst nightmare.
"So Sakura, are you going to the dance tonight?" Madison asked approaching her friend who was obviously in dreamland. Sakura didn't reply, she just kept on gazing and imagining the dance.
"Hello?" Madison laughed waving her hand infront of her.
"Oh! Madison!" Sakura jumped as she awoke from her thoughts.
"Welcome back," Madison laughed.
"Did you say something?' Sakura shook her head as she grabbed several items from her locker.
"I asked you if you were going to the dance tonight?" Madison repeated.
"Uh, yeah" Sakura blushed.
"Why are you turning red Sakura?" Madison crossed her arms leaning against her locker.
"Nothing..." Sakura bit her lip.
"So...Sakura...what time am I picking you up tonight?" Li asked nervously as he approached the two girls. Madison tried her best to keep her jaw from falling, and instead gave both of them the eybrow.
"Don't pick me up," Sakura smiled.
"Huh?" Li blinked in confusion.
"I'll just meet you here at the dance," Sakura shrugged.
"Okay, if you say so, I guess I'll see you later," Li smiled and left. Sakura stared at Li until he was out of sight, she then let out a long sigh and closed her locker. Madison paused for a moment, analyzing the situation and finally spoke.
"I guess that could make you turn red..." Madison laughed.
"Not funny Madison!" Sakura pushed her friend away from her.
"I think so," Madison grinned. "Don't pick me up Li, I'll just meet you at the dance," she mocked Sakura.
"Hey!" Sakura chased her friend around the hall. "I didn't say it like that!" she complained.
"Sure sounded like it," Madison giggled.
"Okay seriously Madison, I need your help," Sakura begged.
"Uh-huh, after chasing me around you need my help," Madison laughed.
"No, really Madison, I really really really need your help," Sakura begged.
"Yeah, and what is it?" Madison tried to keep herself from laughing.
"I need you to help me pick something out for the dance," Sakura replied quietly. Madison laughed for a moment.
"What's so funny?" Sakura pouted.
"I thought you'd never ask," Madison laughed grabbing Sakura wrist and dragging her home.

"Meilin, you're making a mess!" Li grumbled as he picked up everything Meilin threw onto the floor.
"Well, you wanted me to help you pick something out for tonight didn't you?" Meilin put her hands on her waist.
"Yes, but I didn't want you to put all my bad clothes out on sale," Li grumbled still trying to pick up all his clothes.
"Be grateful that I'm helping you, after all, it is...Sakura" Meilin quivered at the sound of her name.
"Hey! Hey! Watch it Meilin," Li warned her.
"Okay okay, she's YOUR japanese pom pom," Meilin said sarcastically as she pretended that she was a cheerleader.
"Alright alright, but seriously what should I wear," Li sighed as he stared at his closet.
"I don't know what Sakura likes," Meilin whined throwing more clothes onto the floor.
"Meilin!!" Li groaned as he tried to catch the flying clothes.
"What?!" Meilin screamed throwing more clothes onto the ground.
"Can you PLEASE stop thowing my clothes onto the floor!!" Li waved his arms around as he lost his temper.
"Fine!!!!" Meilin yelled with fire in her eyes. Li backed down.
"I realized you don't know what Sakura likes but, well, what would YOU want me to wear if I was taking you?" Li asked reluctantly. Meilin stood there for a few minutes thinking of her answer. She quickly buried herself in Li's closet looking for an outfit. Finally she popped out from under his clothes with her hands behind her back, and an evil grin on her face.
"Well?" Li waved his hands awaiting an answer. "Did you choose something?"
"Do you really want to know?" Meilin grinned.
"Okay...Meilin...uh...." Li stuttered. Meilin slowly made her way to Li with her hands still behind her back, and that grin still pasted on her face.
"Aww come one Li, my taste in clothes isn't that horrible," Meilin rolled her eyes.
"Okay, fine," Li closed his eyes and swallowed his fears. "What did you choose?"
"This," Meilin replied taking the outfit from behind her. Li stared at her choice, slowly scanning it.
"Where'd you find something like that?" Li smiled.
"It was hidden deep in the depths of Li's closet," Meilin talked like an announcer.
"Whatever, give me that," Li laughed grabbing the clothes and ran to the bathroom. Meilin picked up the clothes on the floor and neatly placed them back in his closet as he took a shower. After she was done, she plopped herself onto his couch, and let out a big sigh.
"Take care of him for me Sakura..." Meilin sighed letting a small tear roll down her cheek.
______________________________________________________________
"How about this Madison?" Sakura asked anxiously as she pulled yet another outfit from her closet.
"No!" Kero pouted.
"For the millionth time Kero, I was asking Madison!!" Sakura yelled as she chased Kero trying to flick him away.
"Is there anything else you have Sakura?" Madison asked hopefully.
"Well, you are rejecting almost all of my outfits Madison," Sakura complained as she put the clothes back in her closet.
"I told you that you should've picked you clothes BEFORE you take a shower, but No!!" Madison pouted. Sakura glared at her. "What exactly are you looking for?" Madison leaned back in her chair.
"I think the real question is, what exactly are YOU looking for?" Sakura laughed.
"I don't know," Madison scratched her chin. Sakura sweat dropped. "Do you just want me to run home and get one of your Card Capturing costumes.
"Madison, main word being COSTUME," Sakura pointed out.
"Fine, fine, I thought they were kinda cute," Madison pouted.
"Were you looking for a dress, or a skirt?" Sakura gave up and sat on her bed.
"Well, a spring dress would really be cute," Madison thought hard.
"I don't want to be cute for Li!" Sakura protested.
"This is all about Li?!" Kero stuck his tongue out in disgust.
"Aww come one Kero, be supportive," Sakura begged.
"Yeah, it's not like you didn't know that this day would eventually come," Madison rolled her eyes. Kero kept quiet.
"Do you have an idea of a perfect outfit?" Sakura asked as if she had a trick up her sleeve.
"Yes...why?" Madison asked nervously. Sakura only grinned and flashed the Create Card infront of her.
"Sakura, you are a genius! A pure genius!!" Madison cheered.
"No, she's a Card Captor, a pure Card Captor," Kero rolled his eyes. The two girls glared at him. Once again Kero kept quiet.
"Go, hurry!" Madison yelled excitedly. Sakura nodded and closed her eyes.
"O Key of Clow...Power of Magic...Power of Light...Surrender the Wand...The Force ignite...Release!!" Sakura ordered as the small key extended into the powerful sealing wand. Without hesitating Sakura quickly began her next command.
"Create Card...Lend your powers to Madison...Release!!" Sakura concluded as they all watched the create powers surround Madison until a simple book appeared infront of her.
"That..was..cool," Madison panted trying to catch her breath.
"Thanks," Sakura stood confidently. "Um, Madison..." she coughed staring at the book.
"Oh, right," Madison snapped out of her thoughts and began to draw. Slowly, piece by piece Sakura's new dress attached itself to her. Sakura watched in amazement as her new outfit appeared before her. Finally the dress was finished. The gown was a light shade of pink, just like cherry blossoms. (Face it people, Sakura and Cherry Blossoms forever match!) It was sleeveless, but instead had two very short and thin straps that brought the neckline near her coller bone. The waist line was perfect fit. It didn't hug her too much, but didn't flow loosely either. After her hips, the dress simply let go, and flowed freely until it reached the bottom of her knee. Everyone stared in awe as Sakura was instantly transformed into a modern day Juliet.
"It's beautiful Madison!" Sakura gasped.
"You're welcome," Madison laughed as she watched her best friend admire herself in the mirror.
"How about the shoes?" Sakura asked noticing that she had to shoes to match.
"Who do you think you are, Cinderella?" Madison asked sarcastically.
"I'm serious Madison," Sakura laughed.
"Fine, fine," Madison sighed and drew white shoes with short heels.
"Aww Madison, can't you make them higher?" Sakura whined.
"Hey! Li isn't that tall you know," Madison put her hands on her waist.
"Be nice!" Sakura pouted feeling a little offended.
"That's the best thing I've heard all night," Kero laughed. They all stared at Kero.
"Now, will you stop admiring yourself, I have to fix your hair before we're late," she rolled her eyes, still happy for her friend. Sakura smiled and sat infront of Madison.
"Thank you," Sakura sighed happily.
"Don't mention it," Madison smiled.

"Where is she Meilin?" Li asked worriedly as he looked over the dancing crowd.
"Give her some time, a girl has many things to do," Meilin rolled her eyes, but still laughed.
"Alright, alright," Li sighed trying to calm down. He sloughed in his seat and stared at all his classmates dance to some odd music that he never heard before in his life.
"Come on Li, relax a bit, the music is nice," Meilin smiled as she swayed to the fast music. Li stared at her strangely.
"What is this...music?" Li asked in disgust.
"Hey! It's cool!" Meilin argued starting to sway a little faster. Li waited in his seat patiently fiddling with his thumbs. He seemed to be mumbling something to himself, but Meilin couldn't quite hear what he was saying.
"Planning to tell Sakura something tonight Li?" Meilin teased.
"No!" Li pouted turning his head to another part of the dance floor.
"Oh well," Meilin shrugged. "Here is your chance," she concluded and walked away.
"Huh?" Li asked nervously, but it was too late, Meilin had walked too fast. He looked around the floor trying to find her, but only found...Sakura. He gasped at the sight. She was...was...so...beautiful. She didn't see him yet though. Li gulped nervously and watched as she slowly made her way to the dance floor looking for him. He dress swayed as if a wind were blowing it around. The cozy shade of pink cherry blossom matched perfectly with her skin tone and hair. Her eyes let out a happy twinkle as she smiled at her various classmates. Her smile was very welcoming. It melted his heart. He sighed sadly knowing that there was no way that she would ever love him back.
'How did I fall in love with you...' Li thought, slowly making his way to her.
"Sakura," Li called out from behind her. Sakura stopped walking and trembled at the sound of his voice. A smile quickly came over her face as she turned around to look at him.
"Hey Li," Sakura greeted. She gasped as she looked at what Li was wearing. He was wearing a jean jacket (Dash Card ) But it looked like a darker shade of blue because of the lighting in the room. The white sleeveless shirt underneath brightened his face, making it easier to see his warm amber eyes. The two eyes seemed to shimmer as his put on a charming smile. She scanned him slowly, looking at his baggy blue jean pants. Baggy looked pretty cool on him, but it was a shame that he doesn't dress up that often.
"I hope you weren't here too long," Sakura asked worriedly after gaining back her composure.
"No, not really," Li shrugged. Sakura smiled knowing that he was lying, but didn't bother bringing it up. Suddenly a familiar fast song could be heard from all across the room. Li grinned and held out his hand looking straight into her eyes. Sakura stared at his hand for a moment, wondering why he wanted to dance to a fast song but trusted him anyway. Li confidently led to both of them to the middle of the dance floor. All their classmates stared in interest as they watched LI led Sakura to the center.
"What are you doing Li?" Sakura asked nervously.
"All you need to know is two things," Li smiled confidently.
"Okay..." Sakura looked at him oddily.
"Count in beats of, one two, one two, back back, then do it all over again," Li shrugged showing her how to do it.
"And the second?" Sakura questioned.
"Two?" Li asked as if he had a trick up his sleeve. "Two...trust me," he grinned. Sakura smiled and nodded her head in agreement. Li then began to count the beats outloud to her and Sakura followed them quite easily. Sakura was learning to...swing dance?? Li was teaching her how to swing dance??
"You're a fast learner," Li grinned as if this was nothing...then again it was nothing.
"Well, is this all?" Sakura teased.
"Oh no, we're just getting started," Li shrugged.
"Really?" Sakura asked quite intrigued by his remark. "What else?"
"Okay I guess you're ready," Li smiled. "Now, no matter what, don't lose the beats," he instructed.
"No problem," Sakura winked. Li immediately began to swing her around and do up and down tricks with their hands. He spun her around, going back to back and side to side. Sakura was quite impressed by Li's dancing skills, so was the classes. Loud gasps could be heard from around the room as they watched the shy and serious Li spin the very popular Sakura back and forth. It was quite hard for Sakura to keep her concentration while Li spun her as quickly as he did. But of course, it was Sakura, so she caught up.
"Where did Li learn how to do that?" Madison asked Meilin from the inside crowd.
"If you watch closely, they're actually fighting moves," Meilin laughed. "Look how he flipped her."
"What a cheater!!" Madison exclaimed. The class turned around to look at her. Madison shrugged at the staring crowd as she turned her attention back to the couple on the floor. Finally the song ended with a loud round of applause. Li decided to do one last trick and quickly dipped Sakura, brought her back out and twirled her outwards still holding on to her hand. Sakura's dress spun wildly as she swirled away from her partner still holding a firm grasp to his hand. She came to a sudden halt causing her dress to spin faster before it slowly came back to neutral. So now their ending position was Li on one end, Sakura on the other but they were still connected by their hands. Li bowed proudly. Sakura, who was out of breath just waved at her fellow peers. The two dancers made their way off the dance floor to get something to drink as another song was being played. Some students made their way to the floor with their dates trying to make an attempt to replay what Li and Sakura had just done.
"Where did you learn how to do that Li?" Sakura asked still surprised.
"My secret," Li grinned.
"Well I'm very impressed," Sakura complimented sipping from her cup.
"I'm impressed too, you seemed to keep up with me quite well for a beginner," Li smiled. 'Then again, she is kind of like a fighter,' he thought.
"It's seems like you started some sort of madness though," Sakura laughed as she pointed to her classmates.
"Yeah, I guess so," Li laughed along.
"I'm telling Wei!" Meilin pouted.
"Yeah you cheater," Madison nodded in agreement.
"What are you guys talking about?" Sakura asked looking at the three friends.
"I...uh...well..." Li blushed in embarrassment.
"Yes?" Sakura asked in great interest. Li looked at Meilin and Madison, they too were waiting in great interest.
"Well...you see..." Li gulped.
"Well you see the moves that he used were basically fighting moves that Wei taught us when we were still training back home," Meilin concluded happily. There was a period of silence.
"HAHAHAHA!!!" Sakura blurted out. Li turned away trying not to show his cherry red face.
"Aww...you're so cute Li," Sakura smiled. Li slowly turned around to see if she was being serious. She was. That bright smile was sweetly placed on her face. Li smiled back and sighed.
"Thanks..." Li shrugged.
"Darn it!" Meilin pouted and stomped off. Madison laughed and followed her.
"I must admit, that was very smart Li," Sakura giggled. "You're so talented," she laughed.
"Well you taught me how to slow dance, now that is what I call talent," Li played along. Slowly, as if fate were playing a game on the two, a slow song came on. Li looked down at the floor nervously still sipping his drink. Sakura looked at him, then at the dance floor. It was empty. The first slow song was always the one that everyone was nervous and shy about. Finally a couple made their way to the floor. Once again gasps could be heard from across the room. The two people dancing were...were...Ms. Mckenzie and Mr. Terada?? One at a time students whistling echoed around the room, followed by laughter. The commotion settled down as various couples made their way to the floor.
"I want to see if I still have it in me," Li began casually. Sakura looked at him in confusion.
"Would you dance with me, Sakura?" Li asked nervously. Sakura smiled and took his hand once more. They slowly made their way to the dance floor with the other students...and teachers. Sakura slowly slid her arms around his neck as Li gently placed his arms around her waist. They swayed every so slowly in a circle, heads side by side. They could hear eachother breathe slowly. Both calm, but somehow uneasy.
"I think you still have it in you," Sakura smiled. Li who was really nervous began to relax a little smiled and held her closer.
"Thanks to you," Li whispered. Sakura once again could feel a slight chill spread throughout her body. She let out a soft sigh and leaned her head against his neck and on his shoulder. Something inside of her urged her to tell him her feelings now. Sakura wasn't sure, she was confused, nervous, scared and so caught up in her emotions. Maybe now was the perfect time...
"Can you keep a promise Li?" Sakura asked nervously. Li thought for a moment. But sighed knowing that he couldn't refuse Sakura.
"Anything," Li smiled.
"Never leave me alone..." Sakura concluded almost crying. Li pulled away to look into her eyes.
'Does she know?' Li asked himself worriedly. He watched as a small tear rolled down her cheek. He gently placed his hand on her face and wiped the tear away, still gazing into her sad emerald eyes. She stared into his warm amber eyes trying to look for an answer. She looked back and forth from one eye to another searching for hope. Sakura slowly moved closer to him, bringing her head up and tilting it at a slight angle. Li too lowered his head tilting it as he moved forward. Sakura closed her eyes and reached out for him. Li lowered his head a little more and tilted it at a perfect angle to kiss her, and closed his eyes. Sakura could feel his soft hair tickle her forehead ever so slightly. They were very close to eachother now until Li's thoughts got the best of him. He opened his eyes reluctantly and pulled away hesitantly. Sakura felt his face pull away and slowly opened her eyes. They stared into eachothers eyes, both almost crying. Sakura looked around noticing that they were the only people on the floor, and that everybody was watching. She turned her attention back to Li. He shook his head sadly, causing Sakura to run out of the room with tears streaming down her cheek. Li stood in the middle of the dance floor motionless. He stayed there for awhile before quietly making his way back to the side. The room was full of silence.
"What went wrong!?" Meilin and Madison exclaimed.
"I couldn't break my promise..." Li bit his lip.
"Yeah, and what was that?" Meilin pouted.
"She asked me to never leave her alone...and if I leave her when I go back home...I..." Li mumbled sadly.
"You're breaking her promise right now Li," Madison pointed out. "She's all alone somewhere..." she sighed.
"Go after her Li," Meilin shook him in frustration.
"I can't," Li turned away.
"Then she isn't worth it, is she?" Madison questioned. Li stood still and turned around.
"She isn't worth losing!! Li cried out and ran out into the dark halls.
"Good luck Li..." Madison and Meilin sighed worriedly.
Li ran around frantically searching for the girl of his dreams. He looked in each and every room in the school. He ran up and down the stairs, and looked out every window. He could hear his heart beat faster and faster with every step he took. He was starting to lose control of his legs, at any moment now he could collapse. There was no sign of her. He looked out one last window, and saw her outside on the grass. He quickly began to run again, down the halls, and through the doors. He flung the last door wide open and ran towards Sakura. She was sitting quietly on the fresh grass staring up at the pitch black sky that was only lightened by the taunting moon and it's children, the stars. She could hear someone coming closer to her at great speed, but didn't bother to turn around to see who it was.
"Sakura," Li panted through his breaths. Sakura was still silent.
"Sakura, please," Li begged. "Please talk to me," he cupped his hands begging for forgiveness. She stood up and stared angrily at him.
"What do you want Li!!" Sakura cried out in pain. "What do you want from me?!" she screamed. "I've given you everything you've asked for, I trusted you, I was always there for you, I stood by your side through thick and thin, I gave my heart to you, and after all this I've fallen in love with you!!!" she confessed. "And yet, none of this seems enough for you, you pull away from me, you make me feel like you love me back, and you leave me crying in pain," she concluded. "Why? Why!!!" Sakura cried as she began to run away again.
"Don't run away from me Sakura!! Please!!" Li begged. "I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!!" he cried out falling on his knees. Sakura stopped running and turned around angrily. Her anger turned to sadness as she watched the brave warrior go on his kness begging for forgiveness.
"I don't want to you cry, I don't want you to feel alone, I don't want you to stop loving me either," pounded his fists on the ground in frustration. "Please...don't stop caring for me..." he begged. "But if you must I just want you to know this," he continued softly still on the ground.
"Don't do this to me Li..." Sakura turned her hands into a fist. "You are just playing games on my mind, and with my heart...STOP IT!" she cried falling to her knees in pain. Li slowly stood up and walked closer to her trying to hold his tears inside.
"Sakura, when I look at the person I used to be, I was just being the person that was expected of me. But when I met you, a girl who shared the same curse and fate as I, you were so different. You knew what was expected of you, and yet, somehow, you still found a way to maintain your true identity," Li began softly.
"What are you saying Li?" Sakura asked firmly trying not to give into him.
"I'm saying that before I met you, I thought I was only born to carry the burdin of the Clow, and when it was all over, I felt like I didn't know who I was anymore. I felt like there was an empty space inside of me, something missing, something I over looked, and slowly I came to realize, it was you," Li continued finally letting a small tear roll down his cheek.
"Li, don't-" Sakura began to cry again realizing what he was saying.
"Sakura," Li interrupted still getting closer to her. "You changed my life, without you I'd still be the sad lonely boy I once was. A boy looking for a reason, an identity, and for that, I thank you," he finally concluded with tears streaming down his cheek.
"Why are you doing this to me!" Sakura cried as she threw her arms onto his chest pounding it over and over again in frustration. Li wrapped his arms around her, trying to calm her down and never wanting to let her go again. He held her close letting her cry on him. He rocked her back and forth, gently stroking her hair. She looked back up at him and shook her head sadly. "No, you don't love me! You're just saying that!" Sakura protested and ran away from him again.
"Sakura! Please believe me!" Li begged as he ran after his beloved. He caught up to her and tried to make her stop running but she refused.
"I set myself up for this, I loved you too much and now my heart is broken!" Sakura cried pushing Li away from her. "If you loved me, then why did you do that to me, infront of the whole school!!!" she reminded.
"How can I prove my love for you?!" Li fell on his knees begging for help, guidence, advice, ANYTHING! It was uselees, he blew it. Sakura stared at him in shock after he asked the question. All was silent.
"How can I prove my love for you Sakura?" Li asked softly. "How do I prove the sky is blue? Or the ocean is wide?" he cried quietly on the ground. Sakura bit her lip, and clutched her hands into a fist, trying not to cry or give in to him.
"I will love you until the world stops spinning, the heavens fall to hell, and I will love you when the last teardrop falls...I will love you always and forever Sakura," Li confessed finally looking up at her. Sakura cried silently and quickly fell to her knees crying infront of him.
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura threw her arms around him and cried on his shoulder. "Why...why did you have to do this to me..." she asked through her cry.
"Because I love you..." Li whispered softly through her auburn hair. Sakura slowly stopped crying and pulled away to look at his eyes. His amber eyes were full of sadness and tears. Sakura gently placed her hand on his cheek and wiped a tear away with her thumb.
"I love you too Li..." Sakura replied softly. Li smiled and ran hid fingers through her hair. They smiled at eachother, both never wanting this moment to pass. They gazed into eachothers eyes happily, finally knowing how they feel. Once more Li moved closer to Sakura lowering his head slowly and letting it go on a slight tilt. Sakura tilted her head finally waiting for that kiss. Li moved in once more and closed his eyes. Sakura closed her eyes and tilted her head in that perfect angle. Once again she could feel his soft hair tickle her forehead. Li could smell the wonderful scent of cherry blossoms in Sakura's hair. Sakura could feel Li's lips touch her's as he kissed her lightly. The light kiss slowly turned to a pssionate kiss as neither of them wanted to let go of their bond. Sakura carefully slid her hands behind his head pulling him in closer as Li brought his hands up on her back holding her closer to him. They slowly let go and sat down still holding eachother tightly. The stars were shining brighter than ever, as the moon seemed to be watching over them. They lay under it all on the soft green grass, just laying in eachothers arms as a light breeze flung their hair gently.
"How did I fall in love with you..." Sakura asked softly as she looked over Li. He just smiled and kissed her lightly. Nothing in the world seemed to matter to either of them, just as long as they were in it...together.
