~A.N. Yes! The epilogue is up! The ending has come…without further adieu…

Epilogue

Syaoran smiled as he surveyed the room. He remembered the trouble he went through as he tried to explain the circumstances of his marriage to Sakura. He had managed to get Touya and Tomoyo off his back after he and Sakura explained that they planned on living in Japan and coming back to visit Hong Kong regularly. His family was a different story.

The clan elders almost had heart attacks when he told them the news. It would have been easier for him if they all had because he would gain total control of the clan and no one could question him. Unfortunately, he was not that lucky. After a bit of persuasion (and Sakura mentioning that if she didn't return, no one would look after her father because her brother would have to look after his own family) did they relent, with strict rules of regular visits and weekly phone calls.

Syaoran turned as he felt someone latch onto his hand. He smiled at Sakura as she watched him.

"Your sisters and Tomoyo finally released me from wedding preparation duty," she said with a smile.

Syaoran flinched as he remember the shrieks, squawks, and hoe's that he heard when Daidouji and his sisters dragged Sakura off to look at wedding dress designs. He was relieved that he did not have to go through such torture.

His head snapped up as he heard a sob and anguished cry. He turned and saw Sakura also heard it. Quickly, they ran to the source of the noise. Cautiously, Syaoran pushed the door open a crack to see Meiling sobbing in Tomoyo's lap.

"I let him go…" Meiling sobbed. "He's gone forever… I should be happy for him. I am happy for him but I let him go! He was almost mine…but I let him go!!!"

Syaoran stood frozen as he listened to his cousin's wails. He felt Sakura clutch his hand tightly as she breathed, "Meiling-chan…"

They both knew the source of Meiling's pain but never knew it had upset her so much.

Slowly, but surely, Meiling's cries began to die out and become sniffles as Tomoyo silently comforted her, stroking her hair soothingly.

Meiling then whispered, "I'm being selfish. He was never mine to begin with and I know he loved Kinomoto from the beginning. I was just too stubborn to accept it. I won't be selfish anymore. I think the wedding preparations are just too stressful on me right now." She said the last statement with a half-hearted laugh.
She stood and dried her eyes while Tomoyo watched. Meiling gave her silent thanks and then asked her, "Are we going to capture Sakura and give her the wedding dresses to try on now?"

An evil glint hinted her eyes as she spoke.

Sakura tensed up and dashed away as she heard the plans that were to come.

Syaoran watched her run and then heard the door open behind him. In the doorway stood Meiling with Tomoyo behind her.

"You heard, didn't you?" she whispered.

Syaoran only answered with a hesitant nod. "Meiling…" he started.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm ok now. Forgive me for being so selfish."

Syaoran tried to speak but was at a loss of words. He stared at Meiling when she cupped her hands around his face and pulled it up to face hers.

"Don't worry," she repeated. "Everything will be fine. I was just becoming a bit emotional because of all the preparations. I am really happy for you and Kinomoto. You two will lead very happy lives."

She gave him a kiss on the forehead and then cackled, "I'm off to capture your fiancée. Tomoyo, after you give Syaoran the designs for his outfit, come and join me in choosing Sakura's dress." She grinned as she saw Sakura creeping toward the small group.

Tomoyo smiled as she saw Meiling run off to chase Sakura. She turned and saw Syaoran's discomfort.

"Don't worry," she said. "Meiling will be ok. She is strong and will someday find her true love." She then left to aid in the chase to catch the bride-to-be.

Syaoran sighed and smiled slightly. Maybe everything will be a storybook ending. He then heard Sakura's soft voice say, "Gomen nasai, Meiling-chan. I did not mean to hurt you."

Meiling's bright voice then replied, "Iie, daijyoubu." Meiling hand then clasped onto Sakura's arm. "You should let your guard down Kinomoto!"

A loud "Hoeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!" was heard as Meiling and Tomoyo dragged Sakura off to have her wedding dress fitted.

Syaoran smiled. Yes, everything would be ok and he would have his fairytale ending.

Touya's loud voice was then heard as he searched for his soon to be brother-in-law.

Maybe not

~ The End! ~

~A.N. I finished! Yay!!!!! For anyone who cares, the next stories of mine that will be going up will either be a Digimon story or a Dragonball Z/GT story. I've not decided yet so if you have any preferences, tell me and help me decide! Also I apologize for any grammatical errors that I made during this story. I also apologize for the big delay it took for me to get this story finished.

Special thanks to:

My friend Cindy, who kept bugging me to finish the story;

Pikachumaniac, another friend who supported me and read my fic even though she had no clue what was going on when she started. Now she's obsessing over Yue…

Erika, my dear anime and manga fanatic. The one person who understand the brilliance of anime and manga! Also she helped me with translations!

Also thanks extend to LiLsTaRoFdEsTiNy because I would have never finished this quickly if she hadn't been there to bug me too.

And EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS go out to all my dedicated fans who have reviewed my fic since the beginning and kept reading my story even though its not that great.

Ok! For anyone who bothered to actually read past the thanks and get to this part, you are rewarded! I'll be accepting any request for gift stories! The only requirements are that you tell me are:

Which series you want it to be in (I need to have seen the series or know enough about to write it so I'll tell you if I know the series.)

The couple or person the fic should revolve around. (I will accept Yaoi and Yuri requests but the chances of me writing them will be VERY slim.)

A random word(s) or phrase(s) for the story to revolve around

Example request: Series: CCS

Coupling: S+S

Random word or phrase: Valentines Day, Rose

And I will write a story that is CCS, where Syaoran give Sakura Roses on Valentines Day or something dumb like that.

Rules:

Email me your request! Please email them to me. If you don't, the chances of me writing a story for you are very small.

No NC-17 story request. I'll do R but no NC-17.

Give me a year or two to get back to you. ^^ I'll try not to take that long but no guarantees!

I'll email you if I accept your idea. After that feel free to pester me about getting the fic written as much as you want.

Also please realize that I have schoolwork to do as well as write other fics. I'm trying to write a few original works now for competitions so I won't have a lot of time to write fan fiction anymore.


That's all I need to say! Have fun reading and writing everyone! Thanks again!
