*9:50, King Penguin Park*
Sakura, wearing her battle costume, and Syaoran, wearing his green Chinese outfit, were waiting for the Reimeino's to show up. Sakura shivered as a cold wind blew through. Syaoran put his arm around her shoulders to warm her up. She put her head on his shoulder.
"Arigato Syaoran. I'm much warmer now." Syaoran smiled.
"Aw. how sickeningly kawaii. Help, I think I am going to throw up." Sakura and Syaoran looked up to find Kano in front of them. Chino was behind them, Mizumi was to their right and Tenkou was to their left, looking miserable. The guardians were hovering behind Kano.
"Are you ready to meet Death himself?" Kano asked
"No chance of that happening." Sakura said "Is there anyway we can solve this without hurting someone?" Kano laughed.
"I doubt that. Blaze, go!"
"Hidden powers of Light, I, Sakura command you to return to our true form: RELEASE! Shield!!" Blaze bounced off Shield and Sakura smiled.
"You do realize you can't keep this up forever."
"Why not?"
"Because Shield will eventually give out."
"Sakura, we have to fight!" exclaimed Syaoran.
"But."
"We don't have time for 'but'!" he stepped out of Shield's protective barrier, unsheathing his sword "Force know my plight, release the Light! Water!" a bolt of water hurdled itself toward Blaze. It was a direct hit but it only annoyed Blaze. She glared a Syaoran and charged at him. Blaze caught him off guard and sent him flying. Sakura gasped.
"Daijoubu?"
"I'm fine." He stood up and Sakura sighed in relief. She called Watery and sent it after Blaze. Blaze dogged Watery and bombarded Syaoran with a ton of hits. He fell to the ground, wincing.
"Syaoran!" She ran out of Shield's protective barrier and toward him. As she got closer, Blaze and Aqua dive-bombed Sakura and then Soil tripped her. She fell right next to Syaoran. She pushed her self up a bit and tired to stand but her ankle was hurting. Kano smiled as she flopped back down on the ground. Syaoran opened his eyes and gasped when he saw her lying next to him.
"Blaze, Soil, and Aqua; finish her off." Sakura sighed and grabbed Syaoran's hand. She smiled. He squeezed her hand and smiled. She closed her eyes in anticipation of the attack but it never came. She heard Tenkou scream and opened her eyes. Tenkou had stepped in front of Sakura and had taken the brunt of the attacks. She fell forward and landed on the ground with a loud thud. Mizumi screamed.
"Tenkou!!" Mizumi ran to her sister and pulled her head into her lap "Tenkou. wake up. please. you baka. why'd you do that." Sky floated over to them, looking totally depressed. Sakura glared at Kano.
"Has your hatred grown so much?" she and Syaoran sat up "Has your mind become so clouded with revenge that you were willing to sacrifice your own sister? Your own flesh and blood? This isn't ancient China; you don't have the right to punish anyone! Syaoran and I have nothing to do with your parent's deaths!" She tried to stand, but her ankle still hurt. Syaoran put her arm around his shoulders and helped her up. They moved closer to Kano.
"Your parents didn't want this life for you." Syaoran said.
"But. Papa said." whispered Mizumi.
"He didn't have the right to ask that." Sakura said. Sky leaned over Tenkou and touched her forehead with her index finger. Tenkou's eyes flew open.
"Tenkou!!" exclaimed Mizumi. Kano and Chino pushed past Sakura and Syaoran to Tenkou.
"Tenkou. daijoubu?" Chino asked.
"I. I saw Papa."
"Papa.?" asked Mizumi
"You saw Dad?" Kano asked. Tenkou nodded.
"He said that we should go home. He's sorry he put us through this. Mamma is going to help us."
"How.?" Chino asked. A bright light distracted them. Their four guardians were merging into one being. When the light faded, a young woman with long blonde hair, hazel eyes and a white ancient Chinese outfit was standing there. Kano gasped.
"Mo. Mother.?" She smiled and nodded.
"Hello my children. I've come to take you home." Tenkou's face lit up.
"You mean. we are going back? For real?"
"Yes." Tenkou stood up, ran to her mother, and wrapped her arms around her waist. Her mother smiled "It is good to see you all again."
"Mamma? Can we go now?" she nodded.
"First, we should change your clothes." She waved her hands over her children and their clothes changed into ancient Chinese clothing. Tenkou's was jade green, Mizumi's was light blue, Chino's was tan and Kano's was red. While they were examining their clothes, their mother walked over to Sakura. "I wish to thank you Card Mistress. I am sorry for the trouble they have caused you. But they are back to the way they were and for that I am grateful." Tenkou ran up to Sakura.
"Arigato Cherry Blossom. I have my family back!" She gave Sakura and Syaoran a kiss on the cheek.
"We are going home now. Good Bye." Said their mother.
"Byiee!!" Tenkou waved and disappeared. The others did the same and then only their mother was left.
"Card Mistress."
"Hai?"
"I have a message for you."
"From who?"
"Nadeshiko." Sakura gasped.
"Nani?" asked Syaoran.
"My. my mother."
"She says she is very proud of you and loves you very much. She told me to also to tell you not to worry too much about Fujitaka and Touya. She said to be good, have fun and follow your heart." Sakura smiled.
"Will you tell her that. I love her too?"
"Yes, I will. I thank you again. Good bye." She disappeared in front of their eyes.
"I hope we don't have to do this again for a very long time." Syaoran sighed. Sakura giggled "Are you ready to go home?"
"Hai." She called The Shield and The Watery back and they started to walk back to Syaoran's apartment [I wonder what Mother meant by 'follow my heart'.] she stole a glance at Syaoran [Could it mean.?] Halfway to the apartment, Sakura spied a bench.
"Syaoran, could we sit down?"
"Hai." They sat down "How's your ankle?"
"It's a little better. I think I just twisted it really bad."
"Let me see." Sakura winced as she pulled her foot up and let him examine it. Syaoran said something in Chinese that Sakura didn't understand, and the pain went away.
"What was that?"
"A healing spell. It was a sprain, but you should be all right now."
"Arigato." She put her foot down and leaned against him "I thought I almost lost you tonight."
"Likewise. besides, you know you can't get rid of me that easily."
"I'm glad."
"Do you know what the last part of your mother's message meant?"
"I have a vague idea." she shivered and Syaoran put his arm around her shoulders. Sakura smiled [She has a vague idea huh?] Syaoran thought [I wonder if I should tell her.] Sakura put her head on his shoulder [I know what I have to do. I have to follow my heart. I have to tell him. before I loose him.]
"Sakura," said Syaoran, looking down.
At the same time, Sakura looked up and said "Syaoran," They bumped noses. Sakura started to giggle nervously and Syaoran blushed. He put his free hand on her face and gently stroked her face. She closed her eyes and smiled. He moved his hand under her chin and tilted her head up, his lips on hers. They shared a soft kiss, sweet and unsure. She put her arms around his neck, pulling him closer and he slipped his hands around her slender waist. When they pulled apart, their eyes stayed locked. Sakura smiled.
"Aishiteru Sakura." He whispered. Sakura wasn't expecting that and blushed.
"Ais. aishiteru Syaoran" That made him very happy and he pulled her back into a hug "Aishiteru. forever."
"Same for me." Syaoran whispered, "You want to go home?"
"Hai." The got up and walked back to his apartment. When they got there, they were whipped out. After changing into their pajamas, they talked about the bed arrangements.
"Sakura. ano, you can have the bed." Sakura blushed
"Ano. I don't want to be alone. could you stay in the bed with me?" there was a long pause as Sakura climbed in the bed.
"You. you mean sleeping in. in one bed. together?" his face was redder than usual.
"Please?" she gave him a puppy dogface. Syaoran smiled.
"Alright." he climbed in on the other side. They were lying on opposite sides, both of their hearts beating like crazy. Sakura tried to talk, to make the situation less tense.
"Syaoran, do you think we'll ever see the Reimeino's again?"
"Well, I don't think we'll see them in particular. but we might meet descendants of theirs." Sakura smiled
"That would be nice." She moved closer to Syaoran, who stiffened. She giggled, "Don't be so stiff Syaoran. just relax." she put her head on his shoulder and draped her arm across his chest. He smiled and put his arm around her. She looked up "Night Syaoran." He leaned down and kissed her nose.
"Night." And they fell asleep in each other's arms.
