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…
