Well we're at the end of my first Card Captor fanfic and I must say this to all the people who reviewed my story, all 70 of you: THANK YOU ALL!!!, you people have made this story the most reviewed that I have ever written.



So I bring you to the happy ending of the story, if you want to call it that. I do not Own Card Captors, they are owned by CLAMP. I also do not own any of the songs sung by Sarah Mclachlan or BBMAK. Now, onto the fic.





Li looked at his wounds. They weren't to serious, but that didn't mean that they didn't hurt. He wrapped the last bandage around the cut and leaned back to let the medicine work its magic. He looked over to his side and saw his stereo system.'A little music might help me relax' he thought as he picked up the remote to his stereo.



He clicked on a button and the stereo tuned into a station that played a translated version of a popular American song called "Back Here" By a British band called BBMAK. It began to play and its words worked their way with him.



"Baby set me free from this misery, I can't take it no more. Since you went away nothing's been the same, Don't know what I'm living for"

[Chorus]

"Here I am, so alone, and there's nothing in this world I can do, until your back here baby. Miss you, want you need you so. Until you're back here baby yeah. There's a feeling inside I want you to know. You are the one and I can't let you go.



The song began to slowly eat away at Li's conscience. It was eerie, almost like the song was being played to torment him. He tried to turn the stereo off but found himself unable to, it was like he was being told something by an outside force.



So I told you lies, even made you cry. Baby I was so wrong. Girl I promise you, now my love is true. This is where my heart belongs.



Cos here I am, so alone. And there's nothing in this world I can do.



[Chorus]

And I wonder, are you thinking of me, cos I'm thinking of you. And I wonder, are you ever coming back in my life?



Cos here I am so alone. And there's nothing in this world I can do.



Li listened to the song as it's chorus went to a fade then turned the stereo off. He turned over to a side that wouldn't bother his nagging injuries. He had said before that he wasn't one to cry very often, but this wasn't one of those times. He slowly closed his eyes and cried his eyes out. He knew it was true, the wolf needed his cherry blossom back in his life or he wouldn't be able to go on. "Sakura, please come back to me, I need you back" he sobbed.







Sakura and Tomoyo were up in Sakura's room Talking about what had just happened. "You mean to tell me that he saved you from a card that represented what you feared the most?". "Yep" sakura said plainly, almost uninterested in what her best friend had to say. "But he hit you Sakura."



she knew, but after what Li had done for her, she couldn't think bad of him. She turned over and glanced upon a CD that Tomoyo had brought over. It was black with gold writing that said "Sarah Mclachlan.



"What's this Tomoyo?" Sakura asked her best friend. "That's a CD that Mom picked up in America while at a display show. Intrigued, Sakura placed the disc in the stereo across from her. The CD began with a gentle guitar rhythm that soon lead to the sound of a woman singing a beautiful melody:



"You come out at night, that's when the energy comes, and the dark side's light, and the vampires roam. You strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem, and a cross from a faith that died before Jesus came, you're building a mystery"



During the guitar interval, Sakura sat back and compared the song's lines to Li. He always appeared at night when the Clow Cards appeared. The Clow Cards could be compared to the vampires. The "rasta wear" could be Li's outfit, and suicide poem could be his chant to activate a Clow Card. The cross could be his sword, as the Clow Cards could be from anytime, including before Jesus came. It was like the song was written for him alone



"You live in a church, where you sleep with Voodoo dolls and you won't give up the search, for the ghosts in the halls, you wear sandals in the snow, and a smile that won't wash away, can you look out the window, without your shadow getting in the way. Oh you're so beautiful. With an edge and a charm, but so careful when I'm in your arms"



More Li comparisons. Sakura didn't have to list them all, she knew right from the start what ones were him.

[chorus]

'Cause you're working, building a mystery. Holding on, and holding it in, yeah you're working. Building a mystery, and choosing so carefully.



"You woke up screaming aloud, a prayer from your secret god. You feed off our fears. And hold back your tears.



"Give us a tantrum, and a know it all grin, just when we need one when the evening's thin.

"Oh you're beautiful, a beautiful f***** up man, you're setting up your razor wire shrine".



Sakura listened to the song repeat the chorus and closed her eyes as she sighed with his name leaving her mouth. Tomoyo looked at her friend and realized that she was indeed madly in love with the boy that she didn't trust. Sakura stood up from the bed and looked over to Tomoyo. "Tomoyo, do you still have that Chinese style dress that you showed me earlier?"



"It's at my house, why would you want it?" she asked her friend in a surprised manner. Sakura activated her wand and then activated the fly card. Just as she and Tomoyo were about to fly out the window to Tomoyo's mansion, the second song started up. Sakura deactivated the card and listened to the song and began to form an idea. "Can I borrow this for the night Tomoyo?" sakura asked while ejecting the CD from the stereo.



"Yeah but why?" Tomoyo answered even more confused than before. Sakura put the CD in a vacant case and reactivated the fly card and flew off to Tomoyo's home. "Don't worry my wolf, your cherry blossom is returning to you.



Li turned once again in a fit of frustration to ward off the demons in his mind that taunted him. In his mind he looked up and saw Tomoyo, Kero, and Touya all looking down on him for his actions with disappointed faces. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" he pleaded but they weren't listening. They disappeared for the time, until he saw an image of Sakura standing in front of him, in the same angel costume he had seen her in the night that "the encounter" had happened.



He slowly walked up to her and cupped the side of her face. It was soft, almost as if it was made of.. "Cherry Blossoms?" Li said in a confused manner. Once he had said that however, a tear began to slide down her cheek, and into Li's hand. He looked at the tear as it slowly blew out of his hand, and back at Sakura, and then he gasped as he saw her begin to fly apart in a cloud of Cherry Blossoms which quickly disappeared into darkness.



A tear choked voice was heard, it asked a question: "Why did you hurt me?" it asked. Another raised its voice: "You meant the world to her" and another: "You've caused enough damage, damage, Damage, DAMAGE!!, DAMAGE!!!" it began to scream again and again until Li couldn't take it anymore.



He woke up screaming in a cold sweat. "What, is there a nightmare card too?" he asked to no one in particular as he was surrounded by nothing but darkness. He slowly leaned back and felt his back connect with his bed. "I'm so sorry Sakura, if I had the chance, I'd make it so none of this would've ever happened". He had, had the same dream for the past few days since "The incident" had taken place. He hadn't been able to shake it and it had haunted him like a ghost.



He was about to go to sleep when he heard his window open up. He looked over and saw Sakura in a traditional Chinese dress with a long flap on the front and a split tail in the back. It had a pare of buttons that folded over to the side and connected from there. (For those of you who play the Street Fighter 2 series a lot, just think of Chun Li's original outfit only a different color). The dress was a very pale pink, accented with sewn in cherry blossoms across the chest area, the blossoms looked as if they were blowing in the wind. Li winced at the thought, remembering his nightmare. Sakura noticed this too.



"What's wrong Li?" she asked. "I've just been having some nightmares about, well you know, the night" he stuttered. She complied by wrapping her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest. "What happened then was in the past, you risked everything to save me from the card that I feared the most, I have you to thank for that Li" she said.



Li could feel his heart beat a little faster after that last comment and wrapped his arms around her even tighter. Sakura stayed like this for another few minutes until she broke the silence. "Can I play something on your stereo" she asked him. "Sure" he said as she handed him the CD and watched as he took it out of its case and into his stereo changer. "Track number 2" she said to him, and he complied.



For Sakura it was the second time that she had heard the song, but for Li, it was an entirely new experience as he heard the soft melody begin. "Do you want to dance?" Sakura asked him. Li looked at her in the moon light and slowly but softly, took her hand in his. Then the song truly began.



"I have a smile, stretched from ear to ear. To see you walking down the road. We meet at the lights, the world around us disappears. Just you and me, on this island of hope. A breath between us could be miles.

Let me surround you, my sea to your shore, let me be the calm you seek. Oh and every time, I''m close to you, there's too much I can't say, and you just walk away".

Li was speechless. He held the girl of his dreams in his arms while they slow danced to a beautiful melody.

" and I forgot, to tell you I love you. And the night's too long and cold here without you. I grieve in my condition, for I cannot fin the strength to say I need you so".

" Oh and every time, I''m close to you, there's too much I can't say, and you just walk away."

" and I forgot, to tell you, I love you. The night's too long and cold here without you. I grieve my condition, for I cannot find the words to say. I need you so"

The song ended shortly after with a soft guitar melody. Li stopped the CD there and turned back to see Sakura staring at him, with a soft smile on her face. "That song means a lot to me LI, it reminded me of how I felt about you before all of this"

Li walked over and embraced her as she did the same and continued with her talk about the song. "Long nights where I would just stay up at night, thinking of you, wishing I could tell you how I felt about you"

Li looked at Sakura and smiled. He cupped the side of her face with his hand and watched a tear fall from her eyes, just like in his nightmare. He didn't notice as he leaned in and softly touched her lips with his. For Sakura, it was a dream come true, a moment that she wished would never end.

Li finally stopped the kiss and looked at her and spoke: "Stay with me Sakura" he asked her, as she replied: "Forever Li". He then fell back onto his bed bringing Sakura with him as they both drifted off into a peaceful slumber together. The night mare was over and they could both breathe a sigh of relief as they both planned to face their new life as one, now and forever.

Well that's it for my first ever Card Captor story, and my first ever Songfic. I hope you all enjoy it as I have enjoyed writing it. Will I ever write another one?, well, inspiration's funny like that, as it is capable of coming when you least expect it, so I guess you'll just have to wait and see. R&R.
