The Final Task
--*Wo Ai Ni*--










Sakura was afraid that Syaoran was going to say that. Meiling and Tomoyo were standing together silently, they could all feel the tension in the air.

Meiling was worried. She knew what Syaoran had to do, she also felt sorry for Syaoran at the same time. He had started to love Sakura, and now he had to kill for the Li-clan. *But he can always refuse...but the punishment...*

"Give me the cards," Syaoran said.

"No, I can't!"

Syaoran sighed, "...Fine, let's drop this...FOR NOW."

Meiling was shocked at Syaoran's reply. Sakura was also shocked by his reply, and Tomoyo was just surprised.

They all headed back down to the cabin in silence.

"The sandwiches are on the table, so help yourselves!" Sonomi smiled at them and walked up stairs. "I still need to unpack." She stated.

The room was silent except for muching sounds, but Tomoyo decided to break the silence.

"What should we do after lunch?" She asked.

Meiling looked up from her sandwich. "Why don't we go swimming down by the water?"

"Great idea!" Sakura smiled, glad that they were all talking now, except for Syaoran.

He simply nodded and they all quickly finished up their lunch and headed down to the beach in their swimsuits.

Sakura walked into the water into it was deep enough to swim. She closed her eyes and floated on her back. She loved the feel of water around her, and the sound of it too. Suddenly she found herself being splashed and she quickly opened her eyes and saw Tomoyo splashing her.

"Hey!!!" Sakura waved her hands in the water and caused it to spray up at Tomoyo.

Meilling joined in and they were soon screaming and splashing at each other.

Sakura saw Syaoran sitting quietly near the edge of the water, and she quickly ran over to him and sent a huge splash of water at him.

"Hey!! What was that for?!" He cried, slightly frustrated.

Sakura started giggling, but starting to swim away when Syaoran started stricking back. "You're going to get it Sakura!"

Sakura screamed as water fell around her. She struck back with kicks of water and swinging her arms wildly. Syaoran blocked the water from his eyes, he was actually enjoying this.

Tomoyo and Meiling giggled, "Kawaii!" They both said.

Sakura sweatdropped, "Meiling, you're turning into Tomoyo!"

"So what?!" Meiling laughed and set a splash of water at Sakura.

Sakura was caught off guard and fell over, not noticing that Syaoran was behind her which caused a huge wave of water towards his direction.

"Ah!!" Syaoran yelped as he went under the water and up to the surface again.

"Oops!" Sakura giggled.

They continued their crazy water fight until Sonomi came out of the cabin and called them back in for tea.

"Green tea is good for your heart," She said, handing them each of a cup of green tea and a plate of cookies.

"It's delicious!" Sakura commented.

"Why thank you," Sonomi smiled.

At night, Sakura couldn't sleep, since she was in the same room as Syaoran, and because she was worried about what he would do since he found out about her secret. She sighed, and glanced at the sleeping figure on the floor.

*I'll...go on a walk...* Sakura quietly got off the bed and slipped out of the room.

*Where is she going?* Syaoran thought to himself. He wasn't asleep either, how could he fall asleep when Sakura was in the same room as him?

He slipped out of his sleeping bag and crept out to find Sakura.

Sakura sat down on a log, and looked up into the night sky. The stars glittered down upon her, and the moon gave a eerie, but beautiful glow to everything.

"It's so beautiful..." Sakura murmered.

"Like you."

Sakura turned around and saw Syaoran. "Syaoran?!"

He was blushing so red, that it was almost purple. *I didn't say that out loud did I?!!!*

"That's very nice of you..." Sakura said, blushing.

*Ah! I did say that out loud!! Baka!!!* Syaoran yelled at himself in his mind. "What are you doing up so late?"

"I couldn't fall asleep," Sakura replied, leaving out the reasons.

Syaoran took a seat on the log and nodded. "Same here." He glanced over to Sakura who's eyes reflected the moon. *Kirei... (beautiful...*

Sakura glanced at Syaoran. "Is there something on my face?"

He turned red with embarrassment. "No, not at all! I was just looking at something! I was pretty sure I saw an owl!" He lied.

"An owl? Wow, I've never seen one before," Sakura said.

"Well, I have," He said casually. "You like looking at the stars?"

Sakura nodded cheerfully. "You can probably count it as one of my hobbies! Look at those ones over there!" Sakura pointed. "It looks like a sheep!"

Syaoran nodded and pointed to another set of stars. "Those ones over there, they look like a hamburger."

Sakura giggled and pointed at another set. "Look! Those ones look like..."

"A heart..." They both said, and they both blushed as they relized what they just said.

"Well, it does," Sakura stated, still red.

"Yes it does." Syaoran remarked, and he turned to look at Sakura. "Sakura..."

"Hm?"

"..Er...I...erm..." Syaoran lost his words. *Argh! Is it that hard to say 'I love you' to somebody!? What if she thinks I'm a complete idiot?! I've only met her for a month of so...but that's long enough to fall in love with someone like her...*

"What is it?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran sighed and glanced up at the stars and noticed another formation. "Just look at those stars, and looks at the heart, and then look at yourself."

Sakura blinked at him, confused. She followed his finger and saw that a couple stars formed an eye. "It's an eye."

"Uh huh, then go back to that heart we spotted."

"Ok...and the myself?" Sakura blinked again.

"Repeat them all together, ok?" Syaoran was feeling stupid and he was blushing so hard that he was going to turn purple any second.

Sakura nodded, "Eye heart myself."

Syaoran sweatdropped. "Think of it another way. Like in other words..."

"Eye...hmm...I?" Sakura guessed, and received a little nod from Syaoran. "I...love...myself..?!"

Syaoran's eyes turned into little dots and he sweatdropped. "Argh! It means I LOVE YOU!!!!!"

Sakura blinked at Syaoran's sudden outburst. Syaoran blinked at his sudden outburst and turned purple and looked down at the ground.

*IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!* He said to himself, but he felt a hand on his shoulder, and he looked up and met emerald eyes.

"...Me...me too..." She said softly.

Syaoran felt a sudden wave of happiness flood him, and relief and excitement. "You...you do?"

Sakura smiled and fell into his arms. Syaoran fell back a bit in shock. "Yes, I do! I love you to Syaoran!!"

Syaoran closed his eyes in happiness. *I feel so happy with her. But my task...I just want to leave it for now...I just want to be happy with Sakura...for now...*

"When's your birthday?" Syaoran feared an answer that would be like 'tomorrow' or 'next week'.

"April 1st...why?" Sakura questioned.

Syaoran sighed in relief. *That's long enough for me...no...I wished your birthday would never come...* "It's nothing, I just wanted to know."

"Syaoran..." Sakura said, sitting up again. "Don't you...don't you have your task..."

Syaoran hushed her. "Sakura, I just want to be happy with you for a while. I want to forget all about Clow Cards and tasks for now. Ok?"

"Ok," Sakura smiled at him.

The next morning Syaoran awoke slowly, rubbing his eyes and the memories of last night flooding him.

*Was it all a dream?*

"Was that all a dream?" Sakura asked, sitting up in her bed.

Syaoran chuckled, "Guess not."

"Good!" Sakura smiled and jumped onto him.

"Ah!" He yelped and fell over with Sakura ontop of him.

"Whoa! I'm sorry if I interupted something!!" Meiling said, when had the door slightly opened and her head was popping up from behind it.

Sakura quickly jumped off Syaoran and blushed. "Ehehehe! Ohayo Meiling!"

"Can't we have some privacy?!" Syaoran grumbled.

Meiling started laughing and left.

"Well, we better go down for breakfast!" Sakura suggested.

Syaoran nodded and they both went down stairs, hand in hand.

Tomoyo saw this, and stars appread in her eyes. "KAWAIIII!!!!!!!!!!!"

They all sweatdropped except Sonomi.

"You guys, are finally, you know?!" Tomoyo asked, now hearts were in her eyes.

Sakura turned pink and gave a little nod which sent Tomoyo into another hyper verse of...

"KAWAII!!!!!!" This time Meiling joined in.

Sakura didn't understand Meiling at all. She had thought that Meiling didn't want Syaoran around any other girls at all, but now, she was cheering on with Tomoyo.

"Meiling? Can we talk?" Sakura asked slowly.

Meiling looked confused but nodded. "Sure."
