Title: Never -- Chapter Five
Author: Syaoran No Ichiban Aikousha
Style: Series
Author's Notes: Ehh... this is the last chapter. It took me a while to think of an ending... I went with the second best thing I thought of... so sue me if the ending sucks. ; ... Actually, don't really sue me... that is, unless you want what's in my wallet: Three dollars, seventy-two cents, and a Power Rangers sticker. o_o;;

'I won't make it... '
She looked down at her watch. 10:48 A.M.
'It's too late... but I'm not giving up this time. I refuse.'
It was at least twenty minutes to the airport, and that was by car. It would probably be double the time if a person walked, and, her being not one of the fastest runners, was a problem. Her muscles were becoming weak. Her heart pounded at an amazing speed. Her chest was filled with pain. She paid no attention to any of those things and kept running. Droplets of sweat inched their way down her forehead and neck, dripping onto her clothes and all over her face. She peered down at her watch once more.
'10:55 A.M... '
She continued to run.
'I refuse.'
[Airport]
"Flight 065, England departing."
Tomoyo ran frantically around the airport until she eventually spotted the area that lead to the plane Eriol would be on. A rather large crowd of people rushed to the gate, each of them pulling out their tickets. Eriol walked stiffly, ignoring the travelers around him who constantly pushed and shoved at him. Reaching into his pocket, he, too, took hold of his ticket, wincing just a bit at the continuous shouting and arguing of the other passengers, handed the small piece of paper to the lady standing behind the desk, at the same time, trying to calm the people down.
"H-Hiiragizawa-kun!" Tomoyo yelled, trying desperately to get through the crowd. She had caught sight of him, but his head was turned the other way. She shouted out his name over and over, losing hope with every call, "Hiiragizawa-kun! Hiiragizawa-kun! Hiiragizawa-kun! ... Hiiragi..zawa-kun...."
'He can't hear me... Why did I even come here?!'
She almost collapsed to the ground as she choked out his name one last time, using, what seemed to be, the last of her strength. "Eriol-kun!!"
'... Hopelessly pathetic. That's what I am.. hopelessly pa--'
Then, for what appeared to be a miraculous split second, she saw his head turn towards her. He smiled at her and opened his mouth. She felt her heart skip a beat. Unable to hear anything in all the commotion, she watched him closely. He mouthed a few words to her and, with that, disappeared with the crowd onto the plane. For a long time, she just stood there, alone and quiet. Her mind was blank and her heart almost stopped. But suddenly, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, opposite the descended manner, upwards, forming into what became the first, true smile that had reached her lips for the longest time.
'I... I love you, too... Eriol-kun.'
[Seijou High, Next Day]
"Good morning, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said, her eyes bright as ever to see her best friend, "Good morning, Li-kun!"
"Good morning... " Syaoran said, looking at her a bit strangely.
"Good morning, Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said with a beam.
"I hope you two aren't busy after school. I was thinking that we could go to the park today." Tomoyo suggested, holding up a brand new video camera, "I haven't filmed you two in a long time!"
"S-Sure, Tomoyo-chan.." Sakura replied with a sweatdrop, "You seem much better today. I'm so glad."
"Better? What do you mean?" Tomoyo asked as if without a clue of Sakura's recent statement.
"Well... Tomoyo-chan, I've noticed that ... these few weeks... you've been so different. So.. unhappy. I was worried about you, too.." Sakura explained softly.
"Unhappy?" Tomoyo blinked with confusion, "Me? I'm sorry if I made you worry. You won't have to anymore, Sakura-chan. I'll never be unhappy again. Never."

Ah.. the story is now over. Complete. Done. Finished. e_e; I think you get the point. Be known that this was my first series. I know that's not an excuse for it's suckie-ness, but, hey, I tried. u___U; Oh and yes, I know it's very short. I would have just stuck all the chapters together and called that a story, but I wanted a series. e_e Eh heh. Now, you may review. :B I except compliments (As if you'll have any.. e_e) and flames (Oh my, there will be a lot of those, won't there?)! Now go read something worth your time because I apologize if I've wasted yours. :x
