Author's Notes: Hey, guys! Well here's the last chapter of this story...I can't believe it's all over now...This story...Well, I just want to thank all of you guys! I would like to thank those like 'SakuraJade', 'Reiko', 'Cherry', 'SakuranTokyo' (these people were the ones who constantly reviewed me, thank you guys! ^.^), and all the rest (sorry if I forgot any others who have constantly reviewed...)! You guys are the BEST!

Alright, a poem below here is being displayed. It's called The True Meaning of Destiny, and it is a little something that I wrote for this story. The song that will be featured in here is called 'Wind Nocturne' and it DOES NOT belong to me, it belongs to Kadokawa (I took it from Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete), and I only took the English translation for all of your benefits...(l love this song...^.^) Oh yeah, and during this chapter you're gonna see this '...', meaning that a song is being sung, k?

Let's see, what else. Oh yeah, during this chapter, I suggest you listen to some sad song (i think it helps it a bit...hee!). It can be anything, but I was listening to Final Fantasy VIII's theme song, Eyes On Me, by Faye Wong, either that or Wind Nocturne (It can be the Boat Song from the U.S version as well!) from the RPG, Lunar Silver Star Story Complete... If you got an MP3 player, download one of them and listen while you read this, okay? Thanks, guys!

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura or any of its characters. The only characters I own is Hitoshi and Mayuko. I also do not own 'Wind Nocturne'.

--Chapter 13: The True Meaning of Destiny

In a place where hope is lost... Is a place so dark A hole within my heart... Where is my shining light? The light that'll give me flight... ...So I can soar...High above the skies... I was so alone in this world But then you came along And put such a smile on my face... My heart began to throb and beating so fast...Are you the one? Please tell if it is so...Because I need to know Then once we are together, I can start to wonder if this is Destiny... I need to know if this is fate placed by the angels Because all my life I never knew the meaning Oh please my love, tell me if destiny is true Then we can both find out...The True Meaning of Destiny **

"T-The last...Of...M-My p-power...HAHAHAHA!!" Hitoshi laughed as he fell to the ground and finally died.

"Sakura!!" Tomoyo screamed out.

"Oh my God!" Eriol yelled out.

"Sakura...!" Syaoran shouted as he ran to her. As he was about to pick her up, a strong wind blew and a portal opened. "What the...?" Syaoran asked.

"A portal...?" Tomoyo asked.

Sakura's body started to float towards the portal she entered in, still unconscious and slowly dying. The Book came out of her and it started to turn its pages, but then the portal in which she had entered had closed.

"Sakura! Where did she go?!" Syaoran asked.

"It seems that she was brought to another dimension...," Eriol said.

"What do you mean?!" Syaoran asked with tears welling up in his eyes.

"I once read that if the Mistress was destroyed in her human form with the Book still within her, there is no point for her to live anymore, therefore her powers will be passed to someone else...," Eriol said.

"She can't die now!!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Syaoran...You saw what Hitoshi did...She probably-" Eriol started.

"No! Shut up! She's not going to die!" Syaoran exclaimed.

"Is there a way we can open the portal, Eriol?" Tomoyo asked with tears welling up in her eyes.

"She was sent to another dimension where hope and light don't exist, so pure magic won't work, therefore something else will...," Eriol said.

"And that is...?" Syaoran asked.

"...A song," Eriol said.

"A song?" Syaoran asked.

"Yeah," Eriol replied.

"What kind of song?" Syaoran asked.

"It has to be the Mistress' favorite song, but that is unknown...Even now. That's the only way we can open the portal. But the song has to be long enough. If the person stops singing, then the portal will close," Eriol replied.

"The Mistress' favorite song?...Wait, I think I know!" Tomoyo said.

"What?" Syaoran and Eriol both asked.

"Well, Sakura and I were talking a long time...When we didn't become Starlights. Sakura and I were talking about our dreams and I told her that I wanted to become a singer. Before we left for our first mission, she had told me that she had love the song called 'Wind Nocturne', and that she wanted me to sing it for her when we ever had the chance," Tomoyo said.

"Wind Nocturne? I don't know that song," Syaoran said.

"Well yeah, because it is a very old song. Wind Nocturne is a song about what how it feels to be in love. Sakura said it was her favorite song, so it's worth it to give it a shot!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"Alright, we'll give it a shot. And if the portal opens, only one person can enter that dimension because I read that it is too stable. That is where you come in, Syaoran. I trust that you know how to bring Sakura back to us...But you must be quick...The Mistress cannot be brought back to life in this world, only in other dimensions...So...," Eriol said.

"Right...Got you, Eriol," Syaoran said.

"But the question is...How are we supposed to bring her back to us in that dimension?" Eriol asked.

They all remained silent for quite and while, then Syaoran closed his eyes.

(Flashback)

"What's the Book of Wings? I was curious to know ever since Mayuko mentioned it." Syaoran asked.

"Book of Wings?...That's a magical book with many secrets. It has many powerful spells, but it also has the power to grant wishes. The Book allowed Mayuko and I to split apart, and when we rejoin with each other, the Book will be restored to full power...There was also once a legend where it said that when you really know the true meaning of love and destiny to someone...your dearest wish will come true..." Sakura said.

"...Really?"

"Yup."

(End of Flashback)

"I know how," Syaoran said.

"What?" Eriol asked.

"It's too hard to explain, but leave it up to me," Syaoran replied.

"Alright then... Tomoyo. You're up," Eriol said.

Tomoyo walked over to where the portal used to be and bowed her head. She closed her eyes and her hands clasped. "Oh please...Please let this be the song...Please bring Sakura back to us..." She silently prayed. Then she began to sing:

' From an unknown country across the sea.. a wind blows gently past my ears...'

A bright light started to shine and the field became bright. A light shone and the portal began to slowly open. As it opened, they could see blood floating around and the Book which continuously turned its pages above Sakura's body. Syaoran entered in and Eriol watched.

'I want to know who this person is...Living as a troubled memory within my heart...'

As Syaoran walked over to her body slowly, a tear came out of his eye and he soon got to her. "Sakura...," He whispered as he held her tight in his arms.

"S...Syaoran...," Sakura faintly whispered as she half lit her eyes, but then closed them.

'To love someone...or be loved by someone...'

"Sakura, you can't die! You can't!!" Syaoran exclaimed as more tears began to fall. "I know...It wasn't a good start in the beginning but you were....Always there helping me...Encouraging me...Smiling at me...," He whispered.

'I wonder how it feels. Someday I will surely come to know...'

"I've never met a person who has been quite like you...You're special...Well...At least to me. You can't die...If you do...My whole world will be crushed....," He whispered some more.

'The night drenched in the blue star's light, I was a child...'

"...And...You taught me something...That...If you wanna be loved and cared for...You must love and care for them too. You taught me that, Sakura and I really thought I had found my person, and that person was you. And when you wake up, we can spend every moment with each other...," He said.

' Why is that day's melody, once blowing so wild, now fading away?'

"And I thought before that that Destiny talk was nothing but crap...But when you came along, I had a new perspective, and I felt feelings I thought I never would've felt before...Sakura, all I'm saying is ... I love you!" He exclaimed.

'Intermittently, a singing voice drifts toward the open sea....To love someone...To be loved by someone, I wonder how it feels...It feels so far...'

"Sakura...Come back to me...Come back to my heart." He whispered.

' I want to cherish this new born thought...Fate has stirred my heart in vain. It's only the wind...'

The song had just ended and the Book turned its pages fast, and a light shone from it. It shone upon Syaoran and Sakura. "Book Of Wings, grant me a wish...I wish that Sakura would come back to us..." He whispered. The Book shone brightly and shone over Sakura's body. Syaoran continued to stare at Sakura, but then his face lit up and he smiled widely.

**

"Tomoyo, there's no more of the song?" Eriol asked.

"No...," Tomoyo replied.

"But since the song stopped, they can be stuck there forever!" Eriol exclaimed.

"I'm sorry...," Tomoyo apologized.

"It's not your fault, Tomoyo...," Eriol said.

All of a sudden, Syaoran walked out of the portal, holding Sakura in his arms. He was smiling and so was Sakura for she had survived from Syaoran's wish.

"Sakura...!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

"Syaoran!" Eriol exclaimed.

"You're alive!" They both exclaimed.

Syaoran let Sakura down and she stood up and smiled while tears fell from her face. "Oh Tomoyo...Eriol...I was so afraid that I would never see you two again..." She whispered.

"Sakura...," Tomoyo whispered as she started to cry. "Oh, Sakura!!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she hugged her tightly.

"You did it, Syaoran." Eriol said.

"Yeah." Syaoran said back.

**

They were all back at Starlight Academy where a grand party was being thrown, just for the four heroes. Everyone was dressed in their finest clothes and Syaoran was out in the balcony, alone with the wind blowing against his hair.

"I can't believe that it is all over...That adventure that I thought could never end...," Syaoran thought as he continued to stare out from the balcony.

A hand touched his shoulder and Syaoran turned around, and it revealed Sakura. "Hey, Syaoran!" She greeted.

Syaoran smiled. "Hey, Sakura," He said.

"Can I join you?" Sakura asked.

"Yes," He replied.

Sakura leaned against the balcony and began to stare out into the sky as well, but then started to stare at Syaoran.

"What?" He asked.

"Hee-hee, nothing...But, I wanna thank you, Syaoran...," She said while tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Thank me? You don't have to...," He said.

"But I want to! Syaoran...I...Heard what you were saying to me, though I was slowly dying...I can't believe I did all those things to help you through this journey. And when you said that you wanted to spend every moment with me afterwards, well...So did I. I want to, Syaoran. It was my dream to," She said.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yup," She replied.

"Heh...That's good to hear," He said.

"Sure is," She said.

They remained silent for some time but then some slow melody started to play. Syaoran smiled and he confronted Sakura. "Sakura, do you wanna dance?" He asked.

Sakura looked at him and smiled. "Sure," She replied as he took her. They started dancing like they did before, but this time it had more emotion and feeling...It was as if they should never separate.

"Syaoran...I feel...So right when I'm in your arms...," Sakura whispered.

"Sakura...," Syaoran whispered.

The melody soon ended and they continued to stay in that embrace, shining in the moonlight, and they looked at each other. "Now I know what the True Meaning of Destiny is..." Syaoran said as he stroked her hair.

"Yes...Destiny between us can never be broken..." Sakura whispered.

Soon enough, they leaned towards each other and kissed. A kiss, promising to stay with each other for eternity, living under the rule of Destiny.

"You got it, Tomoyo?" Eriol asked.

"Yes I got it.." Tomoyo replied as she shut off her camera.

"We're good..." Eriol whispered.

"Yup." Tomoyo said as they continued to watch the new couple blossom.

...End.
