Sakura was sitting in her dorm room a few days later, just staring into space, when Kero flew into her view.

"Ya know Sakura, I'm still not very happy with you. Do you know how small that place can be with Yue? And not to mention he was very grumpy." Sakura smiled.

"I already said I was sorry Kero-chan, what more do you want me to do?" Kero thought for a few seconds.

"How 'bout you keep me away from Yuki-usagi for a while?"

"Deal." Just then, there was a knock at the door. "It's open!" Sakura yelled as Kero flopped on the bed in stuffed animal mode. The door creaked open and Sakura looked up. "Sya……… Syaoran? What are you doing here?" she stood up. "How'd you get out of the hospital?" Syaoran walked in and closed the door behind him.

"I heal fast. I think I scared them." She grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the bed, making him sit down.

"You stay here. I don't care if you don't want to but you're going to stay sitting."

"Saku-" she put a finger to his lips, silencing him.

"Don't start." She sat beside him and drew him into a big hug. "You scared me so much……… baka………" she whispered. He smiled and put his arms around her waist.

"Gomen ne."

"Ewwww……… are you guys gonna get all emotional on me?" Kero growled. Sakura laughed and pulled away from Syaoran.

"I see you let them out." Syaoran said.

"Hai……… although neither of them were very happy with me even though I explained it to them a million times."

"You try being cramped in a small place with Yue for any length of time." Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Kero-chan, I need to talk to Syaoran alone. Could you go……… away?"

"What if I don't wanna?"

"I'll put you back in the book with Yue."

"Eepp! I'm gone!" he flew out the window as Sakura started to laugh.

"That's a good way to get rid of him." Syaoran said.

"Yea………" she looked up at him. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"Positive." She stood up.

"You really frightened me Syaoran……… why'd you do that?"

"I wasn't about to let some psycho take you away from here against your will. No one would have."

"But you could have died!" she turned her back on him and started walking around the room "I don't know what I would have done if you had died back there! And not just me." She whirled around. "Were you thinking of your family when this happened……… your sisters……… your mother? I'm not the only one who would have been affected and you know it." Syaoran's gaze drifted to Sakura's eyes. "So I ask again……… why?"

"Because……… if you were gone, my world would have crumbled to pieces and nothing else would have mattered." Sakura's eyes widened and she looked down.

"It that's true……… if you felt this strong……… where have you been? Why haven't I heard from you in so long?"

"I wish I could have……… when I came back to Hong Kong, my mother felt as if I had softened. She didn't think I was acting like the future leader of the Li clan. So she sent me to a really strict training facility to toughen me up and improve my magic. I wasn't allowed to contact anyone on the outside, even my own family. I was supposed to be there for ten years but I was do determined to get out and gat back to you, I was out a year early. I left Hong Kong as soon as I possibly could… but when I got here, I thought all my efforts were in vain. Then Tomoyo-chan told me what was happening… I knew I had to help."

"Oh." She looked back up. "I feel……… so bad now………" she sat down next to him. "After a while……… I started to loose hope that you would ever come back………"

"I don't blame you."

"Then……… I have a question."

"Nani?"

"At the hospital……… what woke you? What brought you out of your coma?'

"Your voice." She blinked.

"M……… my voice?"

"I……… could hear the last part of what you said. Then……… I knew that you were safe and I……… I wanted to come back to you……… just like you asked."

"Syaoran………" she whispered. "Even after I acted like such a brat and all the mean things I said and did……… you still………"

"It may hurt……… but I will never stop caring about you Sakura." He pulled her into a fierce hug and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Syaoran smiled.

"Syaoran……… you're the one I care about most in my life… but don't do stupid things like that to make me scared, ok?"

"Alright, if I must." Sakura looked at him with mad eyes.
"What do you mean by that?" Syaoran's eyes twinkled with amusement.

"I don't know what I mean."

"Liar. You know exactly what you mean."

"Alright, I do, but nothing will keep me from protecting you. No matter what you make me promise. So there." Sakura sighed.

"Fine. But I don't have to be happy about it."

"I don't expect you to. I expect you to be happy about this though."

"Nan-" she was silenced when he pressed his lips against hers in a soft and unsure kiss. They both froze. Then Sakura kissed him back. They both tensed as the kiss became more passionate. He opened his mouth a little, dragging her lips with his and she moaned softly. She gave into the moment, held tightly in his arms as she kissed him with increasing intensity. As the kiss reluctantly ended, Syaoran pressed his forehead against hers, breathing gently on her face.

"Sakura………"

"Hm?"

"I love you." Her eyes snapped open.

"I love you too Syaoran." He smiled and pulled her into a fierce hug.

"And……… I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He whispered in her ear. She pulled back a little.

"Nani?" she looked confused.

"Sakura……… you know how much I care about you."

"Hai. And I care that much about you." Syaoran's smile widened and pulled the little black velvet box out of his pocket and placed it into Sakura's hand.

"Then……… will you marry me?" Sakura's mouth hung open as she opened the box.

"Syaoran……… it's beautiful………" she pulled the ring out of the box, placed it on her finger and looked up into Syaoran's eyes. "Of course I will. I'll marry you Syaoran." His eyes lit up.

"Sakura……… you have no idea how happy you've made me." He planted a kiss on her lips.

"I have a vague idea." She said against his lips. He laughed and then began kissing her again, leaning back on the bed. Just then, Kero flew in.

"You guys, this huge cat just tried to- WOAH! HEY, CUT THAT OUT!" they both sat up quickly, their faces beet red.

"Kero-chan, what are you doing?" Sakura demanded.

"Trying not to get eaten. What do you think you're doing?"

"Making out with my fiancée, so get out of here."

"Oh………" Kero blinked. "NANI? FIANCEE?" Sakura started to laugh.

"Hai Kero-chan. Syaoran and I are getting married."

Lunar-chan: No growling at the groom.
Tomoyo: Does this mean I can design your wedding gown Sakura?
Sakura: As long as it's not too insane, ok?
Tomoyo: Hai!
Lunar-chan: Well, Syaoran……… what are your thoughts on this?
Syaoran: Ano……… (Looks at Sakura) I'm happy. (Frowns) but I'm still mad cause I was stuck in Hong Kong for NINE YEARS.
Lunar-chan: Well……… that's what makes it better. If I hadn't put that it, it would have been a whole different plot and then the story would have sucked. Ya know……… "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"!
