Time: 0900 am
In the kitchen, Syaoran was whipping up a great feast. Wei had already retired and it was now up to Syaoran to make breakfast. Syaoran was whistling and thinking about the good luck he had to have Sakura as his wife.
Syaoran's daydreams......
" Sakura dearest... I am home..." Syaoran called out.
" Oh... darling... Shakuyahku (japanese name for peony) missed you..." Sakura replied.
A little girl toddled over to Syaoran and said, " me missed Dada."
Syaoran carried the little girl in his arms and murmured to her, " I missed you too."
Then, the little girl suddenly turned into Meiling.
" Syaoran is mine! You can FORGET about getting him!" Meiling shouted.
" What the heck!" Syaoran screamed.
" Syaoran is MINE! He is MINE only. You SLUT!" Meiling yelled to Sakura.
The phone's ringing sound jolted Syaoran back to his senses. " Gawd... luckily it was just a dream."
Phone Conversation...
" Hello? Is this Mr Li Syaoran?
" Yes. This is him speaking. What can i do for you?"
" I am the police and I am sorry to inform you that we have found two bodies that seem like your friend, Sakura and your cousin."
" What!"
" Please be calm. We would like you to come down to the Sandy Beach to identify the bodies. Thank you. Goodbye." Syaoran dropped the phone on the floor and tried to pull himself together.
" NO! It cannot be! Sakura and Meiling cannot be dead! Not them! No! No!" Syaoran cried out loud. He lay in a crumpled heap on the floor, trying to console himself.
" Syaoran, pull yourself together, it might be a case of mistaken identity, just go and take a look." He ran out immediately to his bike.
Time: 0930
Speeding expertly down the lane, Syaoran was having second thoughts ; if it was really Sakura and Meiling, he did not want to see them dead; if it was not them, he did not want to see a dead body. "Well, no matter what, just go and take a look." Syaoran thought to himself.
Upon reaching the beach, Syaoran took a deep breath and walked steadily towards the area the police covered with red tape. " What if it is really them, no it cannot be..." Syaoran thoughts run wild.
" I am Mr Li Syaoran, erm... can I see the bodies..." Syaoran trailed off while talking to the police.
" Oh, you are Mr Li, well, I am afraid Mr Kinomoto Fujitaka and Mr Kinomoto Touya has already vertified the bodies, will you still want to confirm it?" The police asked. Syaoran could not believe his ears, what it is confirmed! But Syaoran managed managed calm himself down and grimly nodded his head.
The policeman zipped opened a black bag ( those that are used for storing dead bodies) and reveal...
Time 1200
" Where am I?" Syaoran thought, trying to remember what happen. He blinked his eyes furiously when he saw Tomoyo and other friends of Sakura ; Touya, his arch rival; Fujitaka; standing at the end of his bed. He then remember what had happened...
Flashback
The black bag reveal Meiling carrying Sakura on her back. Both of their eyes were wide open with a contorted facial expression. Syaoran started feeling really hot on his forehead and there was a flash of white.
He could hear sounds coming from the background saying, " Mr Li, are you alright?" However, everything he could think of was that his two most important women in his life was DEAD!
How was he supposed to live after both of them die... and then everything turned black.
Flashback Finished
" Syaoran, you are in the hospital," muttered Tomoyo quietly. Syaoran was jolted back to his senses. He remembered what happened and his heart ached with the pain and anguish, he wanted to cry with all his might but the tears would not flow out.
" What happened to Sakura and Meiling?" Syaoran managed to croak out, anxious to know what had happened.
" Well, it seems that Meiling had murdered Sakura and when she wanted to get rid of the body, rigor mortis set in and she was pulled into the sea with Sakura." Touya replied motionlessly.
" Yes, Sakura had gone up to the heaven to join her mother, Nadeshiko." Fujitaka looked up, his voice trembling.
" How could Meiling do that!" Chiharu exclaimed loudly. Takashi, standing by her side, started comforting her.
" Evil will never triump, in the end, they both died, maybe the rigor mortis set in because Sakura wanted to take revenge." Naoka started to bang the wall emotionally.
" I wish this tradgedy never happened." Rika started to sob silently, crying out her heart for both of them.
Yukito suddenly burst in and said, " Syaoran, you are awake, do you want me to call the doctor?" Yukito's face was one of the concerned one. But Syaoran was too emotional and he simply waved his hand away and said, " I in not in the mood to see anyone, can you all please go out." He expected Touya to say something, but to his utmost surprise, he just walk out.
" Syaoran, I just want to tell you this, Sakura once told me to give you this letter in case anything happen to her." Tomoyo handed over the letter before going out. Syaoran slowly opened the letter and read it slowly.
Dear Syaoran,
When you are reading this letter now, I must have died. When I wrote this letter, I wish with all my heart that you will never ever see this and that you will never greive because of me. If you ever see this letter, then I will like to say, I am really sorry for what happened and you are never to blame yourself for what happened to me.
I still remember all the times we caught the Clow Cards, there was so much that we did together. I still remember you were always there for me, to support me, to help me. Do you remember the first time we met? You were always glaring at me and you once tried to use brute force to make me hand over the Clow Cards. Luckily, my brother was there to protect me but in the end I realised that you were just protecting me from harm. You were always so sweet and caring. I always thought that if you were the Chosen Cardcaptor instead of me, you would have done a better job.
I still remember when we were in Grade 4th, we acted in a play, the Sleeping Beauty, you were the princess and I was the prince. ( This happened in the anime series.) You were a really pretty princess, I remember you were always blushing because I had to kiss you to wake you up. That was really funny.
I have so much to say to you, but I don't know where to begin. I wish I could still cook Dim Sum, your favourite, for you and be your cherry blossom, but I am afraid there is no more chance of that but my heart will always be yours eternally. Even if we did not have a chance this life, we will reunite the next life.
Sayonara forever,
Sakura
Syaoran could not stop his tears from flowing out, his beloved was gone forever, there was no chance of them meeting, ever again. The thought pained him so much that he on the radio to listen to some songs to sleep.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next on the list we have Angelz Wingz with their No 1 hit, When your Loved Ones gone."
Then,
I took things for granted,
my heart was full,
I could reach for the stars,
but i was too blind to see
your love for me.
Now,
things have changed,
nothing the same,
you are gone.
There is an emptiness in my heart,
hopes are gone,
stars gone higher,
I finally came to see,
your undying love for me,
but it is...
too late.
Oh God...
Why did you have to take her away.
You should give her more time
or for me
to dream once again...
to breathe once again...
and to be loved once again...
Alone,
I faced the odds,
the healing begins... gently,
the dream rises... slowly,
but things will never be the same ever again,
here I am... once again... once again...
" Thank you and the next song we have..."
Syaoran switched off the radio and thought that how true the song was, yes, things will never be the same after Sakura died. He slowly drift to dreamland where Sakura was still alive but there was a nagging feeling in his heart that told him that was not true.
