Syaoran gasped.
"What about Sakura???" Syaoran asked excitedly. Tomoyo had a sad expression on her face.
"Sakura...her funeral is tomorrow." Tomoyo said. Syaoran let out a sigh.
"Oh..." Syaoran said.
"What time is gonna be and where?" Meilin asked.
"It's going to be at the Tsukimine Shrine at 1:30 PM tomorrow." Tomoyo said.
"Alright. I'll pick everyone up tomorrow." Eriol said.
"Okay." Meilin said. Syaoran stayed quiet. "Syaoran, you're going to the funeral, right?" Meilin asked. Syaoran just nodded his head. Meilin looked at Syaoran sadly.
"I gotta go now." Syaoran said. Without saying goodbye, he left Tomoyo's house.
***At Syaoran's house***
Syaoran laid on his bed, thinking about Sakura. He still couldn't believe how blind he was to not see that it was he who killed her. He closed his eyes for a while. He opened his eyes again and stared at the ceiling.
'Well. I might as well face it. Sakura's gone. And she's gone because of me. If she hadn't seen me kiss Kristi...actually, she kissed me...but anyway...if she hadn't seen that kiss, she wouldn't have run away and commited suicide. This is all my fault!!' Syaoran thought. He sighed. 'I might as well go to her funeral. At least I'll be able to see her one last time.' Syaoran thought. Soon, he fell fast asleep.
***The next day***
Syaoran was up and about, looking for his suit jacket, his tie, and his pants. He only had a shirt and his pajama pants on. He was completely unprepared. It was 12:02 PM. There was an hour and a half before Sakura's funeral started. He couldn't find his tie and his suit jacket. Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Syaoran quickly put on a robe and opened the door. It was Meilin.
"Hello, Syaor----what the hell happened here? It looks like a hurricane passed through this place!!!" Meilin said. Syaoran sweatdropped. Without allowing Syaoran to say anything, she walked into his apartment. Everything was all over the place. "Syaoran...you really need to tidy up!!"
Meilin said. Syaoran chuckled a little.
'Meilin...she hasn't changed a bit.' Syaoran thought. "I can explain the mess. You see, I can't find my suit jacket, my tie, or my pants." Syaoran said.
"Well...what do you have on now?" Meilin asked, putting her hands on her hip.
"A shirt and pajama pants." Syaoran said, a shade of pink beginning to appear on his face.
"Well, you better hurry up! Eriol and Tomoyo are coming by at 1:15 PM and it's 12:05 PM now! So...hurry up!!" Meilin said.
***At 1:00 PM***
Syaoran and Meilin now sat at the dinner table. They had a cup of cocoa in their hands. Syaoran was (finally) dressed in a stunning tuxedo. Meilin was in a dressed in a black dress that was knee length and she was wearing a black cardigan over her dress. They sat across from each other,
sipping their hot cocoa, waiting for Eriol and Tomoyo to arrive. Soon, they had arrived and they were now going to the Tsukimine Shrine. When Syaoran stepped into the Tsukimine Shrine, many memories came flooding to him. Sadness filled him. He was about to walk further into the shrine when suddenly, he stopped. He turned around. Meilin looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
"Syaoran? What's wrong? Why are you turning around?" Meilin asked worriedly.
"I...I don't think I can go in there." Syaoran said sadly.
"Why not?" Tomoyo asked.
"Be...because...it hurts too much." Syaoran said. Tomoyo had a confused expression on his face. Eriol saw Tomoyo's confused expression.
"What he's saying is that this shrine brings back many memories...happy ones, I hope...of him and Sakura. So, just going into this shrine is making him remember her and it hurts him to remember these memories. You know how much he loved Sakura." Eriol explained.
"Oh." Tomoyo said. A shade of pink crept onto her cheeks.
"Come on, Syaoran. At least try." Meilin said, trying to convince him to go in. "And think of it this way. This is the last time you'll ever actually get to see Sakura. If you don't go now, you're gonna regret it later on." Meilin said.
"She has a point." Eriol said. Syaoran stayed quiet for a while. Then he sighed.
"Okay. I'll go in." Syaoran said reluctantly.
"That's the spirit! Now, let's go inside!" Meilin said.
***Inside the shrine***
There were thirty minutes before the funeral began. Eriol, Tomoyo, Meilin, and Syaoran were heading towards the gathering room to speak to Sakura's dad and brother, but Syaoran went a different way.
"Syaoran! Where are you going?" Eriol asked.
"Oh, I just wanted to go somewhere by myself. I need to be alone for a while." Syaoran said.
"Oh...okay. Well, hurry back. The funeral starts in thirty minutes." Eriol said.
"Don't worry, I'll be back." Syaoran said. He gave Eriol a reassuring smile, then left. He went to the back of the shrine, where there were cherry blossom trees. This was Sakura's favorite part of the shrine. He began to talk to himself.
"Syaoran. What the hell is wrong with you? Why'd you kill Sakura?" he said to himself. "You were such a fool...to do such a thing to Sakura. You should've also told her how you really felt about her. That way, at least she would've known your feelings for her before she went to heaven." Syaoran sighed. "Oh, god. I'd do anything to have her back here with me! I need her back. I never knew how much she really meant to me until now." Syaoran said, his amber eyes filling with tears. "Please...let her come back to me. I don't want to walk into the shrine and see her dead body in a coffin. I want to see her alive and well, in my arms." Syaoran sighed. "This is all my fault! God, this is all my fault!!!" Syaoran yelled out. He ran his hand through his messy chestnut hair
as he tried to hold back tears. "Sakura...please come back to me. Why'd you have to leave me, Sakura?? Why can't you be here with me, Sakura??" Syaoran said aloud, tears threatening to fall from his amber eyes.
"But I _am_ here with you." a familiar voice said. He froze. He then slowly turned around and looked at the person standing behind him. His eyes widened with joy, his sad expression became a happy one, and his frown curled up into a huge smile. A tear fell from his eye. Syaoran spoke.
"I can't believe it!! It's really you!!"
