Starting Over: 6
Author's notes: Hey people! Well if any of you are still even slightly interested in reading my
fic than go ahead. I am sorry that I haven't been writing much, but I always say this so lets get
on with the story. This is indeed going to be the last chapter of the story. I am sad because I
have had so much fun writing this series, but now it has to come to an end. I will then write
an epilogue. Now lets go on with the story and see what is going to happen to our dear
Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun...
Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Meiling are still 18.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I am going to..." she then stopped afraid to say what she had to say...
"Well? What are you going to do?" asked Syaoran.
Sakura then turned around to face her dear Syaoran. Her eyes softened and she looked as if
she were going to start crying right on the spot. She then took his hands in her own and began
to say what she had to say.
"Syaoran, don't you understand that I love you... I love you with all my heart and soul. I just
want you to be happy... And if your happiness lies with Meiling then it is fine, but I don't
think I could live with the thought of you being with another... I don't want to live my life
looking back on memories of us together. Memories of when we had fun and when I first fell
in love with you. I don't want to live my life wishing that you were mine... I want to be able to
love again, but I know I can't because....of you. I will always care for you, but since you want
to live your life with Meiling, I want us to be able to start over... To live without any regrets. I
guess... what I'm saying is that it would be best if we forgot about each other. So, I am going
to give you two choices. One is that you tell me the truth about you marrying Meiling just to
make your family happy or we can permanently forget all memories of each other. I am going
to use the erase card to erase your memories of ever meeting me and then use it on myself to...
to forget about you. That way we will both be able to start over... I will give you a few
minutes to think about what you are going to do. Whatever you choose to do... listen to your
heart and it will lead you to what you want to do..."
Sakura then got up and walked away from Syaoran and walked over to a nearby cherry
blossom tree and leaned against it while waiting for her love's decision. Though he couldn't
see, Sakura had started crying and tears dripped down her face. Syaoran just sat there where
he was shocked by Sakura's speech. He was debating with himself about what he should do...
'I never thought that she loved me this much. I am such a baka! I don't think I could bare
the thought of never knowing Sakura... she means so much to me. I am just so confused on
what I should do.....' Syaoran just sat there, staring at his precious Ying Fa, looking for an
answer to his question...
As Syaoran was thinking of what he should do, he heard footsteps approaching him from
behind. He turned around to see his mother standing before him. 'I thought everyone was put
to sleep by Sakura's Sleep Card...'
"I'm much stronger than I seem to be son.." said his mother, as if she could read his exact
thoughts.
"I thought you had fallen asleep like all the others..." said Syaoran.
"I did, but since the Li Clan is related to Clow Reed, I was strong enough to shake the sleep
powder off," said his mother.
She then looked over to where Sakura was. She could feel how utter depression had fallen
onto Sakura ever since she found out that Syaoran was going to marry Meiling. She had felt
so bad at that moment knowing that her son was doing this only to please her, not because he
was following his heart… She knew that because of her wanting him to marry Meiling so he
could lead the Li Clan that he was denying himself of his one true love…
"Syaoran?" said his mother.
"What is it?" he said.
"Is this what you really want? I mean marrying Meiling… even if it means forsaking your
real love for the Mistress of the Cards?" his mother said looking at him with sadness showing
in her eyes.
"What are you talking about Mother? I want to marry Meiling and lead the Li Clan and be
everything that you ever wanted me to be. I am so happy…so… so … happy," he then stopped
talking and looked his mother straight in the eyes. "I am lying. I'm not happy at all… I am
terribly miserable is what I am," and with that he collapsed onto the floor, kneeling in front of
his mother. "I am so sorry for deceiving you. Making you think this is what I wanted. I only
did this so…" and he was then cut off by his mother, finishing his sentence for him. "So I
would be proud of you, ne?" she said, smiling at him. "How did you know?" he asked her. "I
am your mother, I know everything about you and why you do the things you do. And when
you had first told me that you decided to marry your cousin, I was puzzled by why you decided
to marry her. You have always told me you never loved her in THAT way… So I tried to
figure out why you were doing what you were going to do. And I did figure it out, just not
soon enough… I just want to say I am sorry Syaoran," his mother just looked at him waiting
for him to say something. "Sorry? I should be the one who should be sorry. Mother… would
it be ok if I didn't marry Meiling…I just can't do it…" he asked her with pleading eyes. "I
know. I want you to know that I am proud of you no matter what you do. I think now that
you should go accompany that lovely girl that is leaning against that tree in front of you." She
smiled at her son and started walking back to the small chapel. He then looked over at where
Sakura was standing. He could feel how she was feeling at the moment. She was afraid.
Afraid that he would tell her to get out of his life for one last time and leave her to be alone for
the rest of her life. He then began walking over to her…
