~ Twisted story of Sakura card arc~

Always in this little heart...

chapter 7

Next day at Tomoeda elementry school~

"Hi eriol-kun!!" Sakura ran over to him. "How are you today Sakura-san?" He asked as always smiling. "I am really happy!" she chirped in her bright voice. She asked him to meet her at the back of the school today when classes finishes. luckily, Li-kun came in late and did not happen to see them talking together.

After school~

"What is it Sakura-san?" Sakura just smiled and whipped out a gardenia flower and held it out to him. "I finally learned what it means...to give this flower to another person" Eriol smiled and accepted it. "I thank you for the flowers last night" Sakura added. "You liked them? that's good" He then gathered her close to him and kissed her hair. "You know what Sakura-san?" He murmured as Sakura enjoyed being in his arms feeling happy. "Hmm?" "The moment I saw you...you were like sunshine that lit my empty destiny..it was very warm and beautiful light that I discovered that day...I wanted you to know my love for you the depth of it before speaking out...or rather in this case you found out" He smiled down at his long lost love...it was a love that can not be broken for all eternity.

Li-
He watched in horror.He wasn't expecting this..after all this time..it was his fault for not speaking out about his feeling for Sakura earlier. He started crying...he could feel the tears rolling down but was consolated knowing that she was happy...for her happiness he would not speak out his feeling for her. He would always keep it in his heart. He smiled a little at that and leaped to the next tree, going towards home, and he would talk to Tomoyo about the news.

Sakura-

She was the happiest in the world..here in the arms whom she loved most, nothing could harm her. She looked up at his gentle violet eyes and smiled. What ever the future held for her, long as he was here, she was sure she would never be alone. Sure she loved her friends and family but this was different. Is this waht Yukito-kun mean? this feeling? she guessed so.She gently swayed in his arm, letting the wind ruffle her hair gently.

Eriol-

He let her lean against him close to his heart...it maybe another person, not Clow read. He was another person born with his memory and magick but the feeling..this feeling for this gentle soul never changed.he lifted her face gently and kissed her deeply. It was the best moment ever in this life. He could feel the Clow's soul burn bright with desire and love. Yes he decided, that this was his happiness and all that happiness could be.


Eriol&Sakura

"I better go Eriol-kun, my onii-chan will kill me if I don't come home soon" Eriol chuckled "Well, you had better, if he found that I was the one who kept you back he might try to stomp on me" Sakura laughed."Good evening, love" Eriol said as he gave her one more kiss on her top of her head and separated on their way home. Tonight will be a very long one...the final one..the last of all the troubles that been occuring to Sakura and her friends.


That night-

"There you are sakura-chan!" Tomoyo smiled and also Kero-chan and Li was there too. "Tonight I made that special costume for you so Sayoran-kun dressed in his formal one too!" Li sweat dropped at Tomoyo. Li remarked "It seems that tonight something is keeping people away from Tokyo Tower"

Then to the shock to all of them a voice replied "That would be me" All of them glanced up and the first one to speak was Sakura."Eriol-kun! what are you doing here?" Sakura was shocked, the guy she loved most was also socerer? but...why him? Li was also totally shocked, now he knew why he never had good feeling about this guy. Kero-chan flew over "Is that the exchange student you were talking about? strange...he has Clow's aura" Sakura looked up at the smiling face she loved so well. He spoke again but with some different ...more sharper yet sad haunting feeling in his eyes. "In this life time I am Eriol but in my last life time I was Clow Read" that bought "WHAT?!?!!" from all those present minus Spinel sun and Ruby moon. "Yes that's right" Another voice spoke and Sakura saw class mate of her onii-chan she met not long ago, Akizuki-san."What??I am confused now.." Ruby moon smiled and changed into her real form. "I am Ruby moon, the real form of Nakuru Akizuki and this is Spinel sun, even though I believe you haven't met him, Spinel sun show your real form" To everyone's suprise the floating black kitten turned into a panther like creature with huge butterfly wings. "You are just like Yue-san and Kero-chan!" Ruby Moon smiled "That's right"

"I will start now, Sakura-san, if you defeat my spell everything will be fine if you don't..there will be a problem" Sakura watched in horror as black energy unleashed from him and saw the sun and moon getting covered up by the dark energy plunging the City in darkness.She saw Tomoyo fall and she dashed and caught her in time. "Tomoyo-chan?!?! please tell em you are okay?please..." Eriol spoke again "She is asleep..so is the entire city...if you can break my spell by sunrise..everyone will be fine, if not they will sleep forever" Sakura hesitated "Just till when?" She asked again "Just..forever". Sakura wanted to cry,but she couldn't just sit there, Even Sayoran-kun was barely holding up against the black energy to stop himself from falling asleep. Kero-chan and Yue-san who have arrived later was locked in a battle with Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun. "Looks like Sakura-san needs a little encouragement" Eriol pointed hsi staff at the frozen Sakura who was unsure of what to do..rather how to break the spell. Sakura released the shield card to shield not herself but Sayoran-kun and Sleeping Tomoyo from the rain of fireballs. "I don't get it...but why was I always helped by Clow-san?" Eriol simply smiled "To hear the answer you have to defet my spell" Sakura hesistated and thought 'if...there is darknes..what can defeat the darkness...LIGHT' "Ah ha..but..how can I change them? I don't have enough magick left to change both of them!" Kero-chan and Yue-san finally got past Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun and have flown over to their mistress. "We can help you..by giving our magick to you" Sakura turned "But how?"

Kero-chan explained "If we put ourselves in to the staff that you hold..you will have enough power to change both of them...it balances out...moon and sun, dark and light" Sakura nodded "What if I still can't change them?" This time she directed it to Eriol-kun "They will sleep forever in the staff" Sakura quivered then threw herself at both of her guardians "Then I will nerver see Kero-chan and Yue-san again!" Kero-chan and Yue-san both smiled then poured themself the magickitself into the staff. The staff changed into much taller like the one Eriol held but topped of with a sun like jewel beneath the star with wings attached to the side of the star and round ring that use to surround the star disappeared.

(a/n: to skip the boringst part I will skip the a lot of the parts of the final battle which spans 3 chapters or 4 in manga)

Eriol smiled finally this time the gentle smile which he always had. "Finally it's over....Sakura-san?" He held out his hand to Sakura-san and before anyone can stop her she ran over to him crying hard.Eriol gently stroked her hair "I am sorry, but at least you have changed all the Clow cards to Sakura cards...and now your power have increased too" "Is that why, you made me go and fight in situations where I had to change them to Sakura-cards?" Sakura asked looking up with her emerald green eyes teary and wide with relief. "yes...and there is another reason also...something I wanted was to be with only love ...no...only woman Clow ever truly ever loved..he might always been ladie's man but not after he met Li, Fei Min" Sakura was puzzled "Hoe??? I had dreams about her often" Eriol smiled even more "I sent those dreams, because as having Clow's soul I have his memories too...so When I saw your face..I realized that you been reborn...it made Clow's soul burn bright with desire and love...so did my own soul..as Eriol not Clow..also loved you too..So here I am with you..I am sorry for causing trouble for past months...will you forgive me?"

Rest of the gang have moved away except for Tomoyo who have insisted on staying to film it. "Of course! You never mean to harm me truly!" She smiled again knowing everything was alright again.The couple smiled at each other and shared a sweet kiss.

Next night, at Penguine park-

"Sorry for being late Eriol-kun!" Sakura ran to him wearing matching emerald green summer dress. "No problem Sakura-san" He offered her a small box "Hoe?what's this?" Eriol opened and it revealed a ring with a emerald in shape of a star. "For you and our future for all eternity...I mark my love and this promise to love you forever with this" Sakura started crying happy tears "And I ..with my heart..I always will love you" Eriol smiled again as usual "What happens now?" "Sayoran-kun is going back...to Hong Kong...his mother called him back...saying he is getting engaged to a friend of her's daughter...I wish him luck..what about you?" Sakura asked him curious. "I will be with you where ever you are. so I will never loose you again...Dance Sakura-san?" He asked as he held out his hand, with full moon highlighting everything around them. "yes..this will celebrate out love....and union of our heart" Both smiled and danced away into the moonlit night, dreaming of a bright future.

A little far away from the couple-

"I won't give her up with out a fight..I too have waited so long to see her again...I will make sure she will be mine..forver.." A voice whispered to itself but unfortunatly for the blessful couple they did not see a glint of greenest green eyes..like a blazing emerald piercing the darkness and watching them.


The End!
