The Final Task
--*They Parted*--
Sakura yawned softly as her eyes fluttered open. The first question that came to her was *where am i?* She slowly sat up, but she felt a light pressure near the end of the bed, a bit on her legs.
Her eyes widened. "Shaoran..." She said softly.
He groaned slightly and woke up. "Wa? Sakura!!! You're finally awake!" He hugged her tightly, causing Sakura to blush.
"What do you mean 'finally'? How long have I been asleep?" Sakura asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Six whole days! Do you know how long that is?!" He practically yelled, but he calmed down and gave Sakura one of his rare smiles. "I'm just so so so so so so so so glad you're alright!"
"...I thought you didn't love me anymore..." Sakura mumbled, looking down at the carpeted floor.
Syaoran frowned slightly, and held Sakura's chin so that their eyes met. "I would never not love you Sakura Kinomoto. I will always, until the end of time, love you."
Sakura blushed furiously. "I love you to Li Syaoran! Forever!" Sakura giggled slightly.
"What's so funny?" Syaoran asked.
"Hahahahahahaah! Where did you get the corny line of 'Until the end of time'!? Hahahahahahaha!" Sakura dropped back down to the bed laughing.
Syaoran frowned, then a smirk went onto his lips. "You're gonna pay for laughing at me Sakura Kinomoto!!" Syaoran reached for Sakura and started tickling her like mad.
"Onegai!!! Stop!!!" Sakura laughed and yelled at the same time. "Hoe!!!"
"Sorry to...er...interupt you two..."
Syaoran gasped and jumped off the bed and turned furiously red when his mother stepped in. "Mother! Hi! Why didn't you knock?!" He asked, frustrated and embarrassed.
Sakura was still giggling.
Yelan smiled at his son, and started laughing at bit to. "You needn't be embarrassed Xiaolang. If your love for Sakura is true, then just show it."
Syaoran turned redder and nodded. "Ok mom..."
"I have phoned Sakura's family about her being over here. They were quiet shocked that she was all the way in Hong Kong." Yelan chuckled slightly and frowned softly. "But, Sakura you are going back to Tomoeda tonight."
Sakura stopped laughing. "Can Syaoran come?"
Yelan sighed and frowned softly. "I'm very sorry Sakura, but Syaoran has his duties and family oblications here in Hong Kong to take care of."
Syaoran's face fell. "...What?!" He uttered furiously. "Mother! You know I love Sakura, yet you must sepreate us! Why?!"
"The rules of the Li-clan are strictly the rules. The elders follow the rules, so you, being the leader of the Li-clan, must do so to," Yelan stated and turned around to leave. "I suggest you get ready to leave Sakura dear. Your flight is only merily two hours away."
Sakura and Syaoran stared at each other for the longest time. Tears streamed down Sakura's face.
"Oh Syaoran! I wish you didn't have to be the leader of the Li-clan! I wish that we were freed from all our responibilities..." Sakura said softly. "I just want to be with you!"
Syaoran blinked his own tears away. He shoudn't cry, espeically if Sakura needed him now.
He wrapped his arms around Sakura's shoulders. "I promise, that when I'm done all the stupid duties of the clan, I will visit you."
"But it will be so long..." Sakura grumbled.
"But have hope Sakura. Don't give up on me!"
Sakura looked into Syaoran's amber eyes. "I would never give up on you Shaoran!"
"I don't know how long this will be, but I promise you, we will meet again!"
"I've heard a saying that promises are meant to be broken..." Sakura said sadly.
Syaoran frowned, and leaned over and kissed Sakura. Sakura was stunned, but she kissed back. She felt all her worries slip away, and that she was in a fairy tale, with her prince charming.
They parted.
"Don't say that Sakura..." Syaoran said softly to her.
Sakura sniffled and nodded. "Ok,
I will wait for you to come back. You will come back to me." She said it
as a statement, and not a question.
They kissed for the longest time in the airport.
Some were starring at them and some commenting that they made such a great couple. Some started pointing at Syaoran, and saying that he was the leader of the Li-clan.
Sakura and Syaoran ignored all their voices. They were in bliss in each other's arms, and they would soon have to say good-bye.
"All passengers on Flight 108 to Tomoeda, Japan, the flight will be leaving in 10 mintues." A voice came over the loud speakers.
"That's...that's my flight..." Sakura said sadly as if the world had just crumbled.
"Remember, don't give up. I will always be there for you, and with you."
Sakura nodded solemnly. "You must remember me Syaoran..." She reached into her pocket and pulled out the Love Card. "I..I want to give this to you."
"You...you can't! It's your card! It's a Sakura Card!" Syaoran stuttered.
Sakura smiled sweetly at him. "Take it. My love will always be with you that way."
Sakura placed the card in Syaoran's hands. He gripped it tightly and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a green amulet with a wolf on it. "This was given to me by my father. I want you to have it with you always."
"But...I can't! It's to valuable to you..." Sakura gaped.
Syaoran placed the amulet into Sakura's palms. "You...you better get going..."
Sakura gripped his hand tightly.
They parted.
"Farewell..." Sakura waved.
Syaoran waved back, with a little smile on his lips. "Remember me, and don't give up hope."
Sakura nodded, "I will wait for you. We will meet again Li Syaoran!"
"Yes Sakura Kinomoto, we will meet again." Syaoran stopped waving as Sakura's figure disappeared into the crowd.
He could feel her aura parting slowly. And soon he could not feel anymore of it.
And so...
They parted.
