Obsession
By: Sailor Destiny
Author's Notes: This is the last chapter of Obsession, and I won't promise you that you'll like the ending. But no spoilers here! You got to read it!
Disclaimer: The only thing that belonged to me in this story was Kain, and he's dead. So I guess that I don't own anything used in this story. Wait, I just figured out something that belonged to me. That poem. 'I Kissed My Destiny' is property of Sailor Destiny! HAH!
Warning: This chapter is going to be short!
****************************************************
For months, Li sat a Sakura's side, not eating for days at a time. Kero and Madison had long since stopped trying to get through to him. Some have even thought that Li was insane. For almost every time that someone walked in, Li was chanting the same poem.
I kissed my destiny
Was it warm?
No, it was cold
Did it warm your heart?
Mine had already froze
Did you see your future?
It was full of darkness and lies, perhaps
That's why I kissed my destiny goodbye.
Not one person could figure out what Li meant, and had long since stopped trying. One was occasion, Madison walked in with a cup of tea for Li, and she saw something unusual. After Li had finished his poem, he laid a whisper of a kiss where Sakura's lips should have been.
"Goodbye." he whispered. Li got up and left her room for the first time in three months.
"Li? Where are you going?"
"I'm going to train, and prepare myself for the hardest battle I've ever fought in my entire live. I'll be back in five and a half months."
"Li! You can't just leave like that!"
"I can, and I will. I can't stay here another moment." Li faced Madison, and his eyes were so full of sadness that Madison flinched. "I do hope that you'll forgive me Madison."
"For what?"
Li just shook his head. He walked over to Madison and kissed her on the cheek. "Goodbye." he whispered in her ear.
Madison dropped the tea that was in her hands in shock. She sunk down to the floor and raised a hand to where Li's lips once were. Madison knew that it was a kiss of friendship, but she could feel the emotion he put into it.
"Li wait!" she called two seconds too late. He was already gone. Madison sighed and looked yearningly at where Sakura lay.
*Only time will tell her fate. But I do hope that everything will be all right. *
Madison left the room with damp sprits and continued her life as normally as she could. Li on the other hand, was training for the hardest battle yet to be fought. He fought himself. Li tried desperately to overcome the softness in his heart, but he would tell no one why. The sun rose and set one-hundred sixty-six times, and Li's face appeared once more in the Avalon residence. He ignored the greetings he was given, and silently walked up to Sakura's room.
Li drew his sword from his back and pulled out the Fiery card. "Fiery card...I command you to thaw the ice surrounding Sakura! Fiery...release and dispel!" Li struck the card with the tip of his sword and watched the spirit emerge. "Go on. Just be careful with her." he ordered.
The spirit gave Li an understanding look and used its powers to melt the ice around Sakura. The spirit then returned to its proper place and Li shoved the card back in his pocket. He walked to Sakura's side and lightly ran his hand over her cheek. "Time to wake up."
As if on command, Sakura's eyes shot open and she nearly jumped out of the bed. "Li?" she asked. "Is it time already?"
"No. Not yet." he answered, meaning something different entirely.
"You haven't the foggiest idea of what kind of dreams I have had! I dreamt that I was walking on the clouds with everyone, and then everyone except you disappeared. All you said afterwards was 'I'm sorry'."
Li let his head hang low. *I will be sorry. * He thought to himself
"I'm sorry Li. I've been acting like nothing is wrong. Have you figured out a way to save me and my baby?"
"Yes...."
"Well, let's hear it."
"You must wait." he warily answered.
"Why?"
"Just...until sundown. It won't work if there is light outside."
"Li! What are you talking about? I demand to know right now!" Li simply turned his back on Sakura and remained silent. "How dare you turn your back on me!"
"I beg to differ Sakura. Don't turn your back on me..."
Sakura flinched. "Li? Why are you acting like this? You aren't even acting like Li anymore!"
"Pretty soon...I won't be Li anymore. And you won't be Sakura."
"Dear God Li. What's happened to you?"
"Nothing...yet."
"Why won't you tell me what's going on?"
"Because...you'll find out at sundown." Just then, Tori walked in.
"Hey Li. Can I talk to you for a sec? It'll be real quick." Li simply nodded and followed Sakura's older brother into the hallway.
"Listen Li. Maybe you haven't realized it, but you can't hide your emotions very well." Tori was silent a moment before he asked his question. "Are you going to do what I think you are?"
"No. I've already done it. At sundown, it will all be over. Forgive me Tori." Li bowed and went back into Sakura's room, leaving Tori to worry so much that he made his stomach hurt.
Sakura had her back turned to Li as she gazed out the window. When she heard the door close, she jumped slightly, but didn't turn around." I cannot believe that after all this time, you have almost nothing to say to me."
"Why should I?" Li spat. "You're willing to sacrifice the entire planet, for that...parasite inside of you. I think that you've been contaminated by the piece of defecation inside of you. So I've spent the past 9 months preparing. And I've finally come up with a decent solution."
"Then why won't you tell me?!" she screamed.
"Because you will find out soon. It is near sunset, and then...." Li simply stopped talking. But his attention was soon turned back to Sakura as he heard the rushing of water, and Sakura screaming. He rushed to her side, lifted her up, and laid her gently on the bed. Li called for Sakura's family, Madison, and Julian. Within seconds, everyone was there.
"Oh God! Is it time already? I better call the doctor!" Madison worried. She reached for the phone but soon stopped as she felt Li's sword against her throat.
"You will do no such thing."
"Li-" Madison began.
"QUIET!" he bellowed. Li moved his sword up and away from the phone, and Madison had no choice except to follow. (Unless she wanted to become headless...) "You will wait! It will only be a few minutes now. Then I will show you my creation."
"Your...creation?" Julian pondered.
"That's right." Li felt a string of electricity jolt through his body, and he turned his head to gaze out the window. "It is time." Everyone gasped as a dark shadow emerged from the horizon, bringing a freezing wind with it.
"AHHH!!!" Madison yelled. The shadow quickly approached and soon had reached Sakura's window. The shadow burst the window open, and surrounded Li and Sakura.
"Sakura no!" Tori yelled. He desperately wanted to reach out and help his sister, but some force was keeping him where he was.
With a calm and collected face, Li faced the stunned group and began to speak. "I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." With the last ounce of his strength, Li reached into his pocket and pulled out his creation.
The Death Card.
*********************2 Weeks Later*************************
Madison walked out of the funeral home in tears, side by side with Julian. Tori and Aiden had long since left, as the funeral had ended hours ago, but Madison had refused to go.
"How could he? If he truly loved her, he would have thought of another way!"
Julian rubbed his hand up and down Madison's back. "He had no choice. I believe that he did love her, and that what he did was the only way he could save the world. Why else would he choose to die with her?"
Madison pondered about Julian's question. "I guess you're right. And Sakura wouldn't want to see me like this. Let's go."
Julian nodded. "All right." The two walked towards Julian's car, but Madison stopped as they passed a deserted alley. "What's wrong?"
Madison continued to stare with her mouth hanging open. Down the alley, she saw the silhouette of one teenage boy, and one teenage girl kissing. Madison closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened her eyes again, they were gone.
"Madison?"
"It's nothing...must be seeing things." Madison then left to live her life, which surprisingly came to intertwine with Julian's. (An: Sorry...they make a cute couple...) Five years later, a beautiful child lay upon her bosom.
"What shall you name her?" Aiden asked.
Madison stared at the little life in her arms. "My cherry blossom." she whispered. "Sakura."
********************The End******************************
An: I hope that I didn't make any of you hate me to no extent. Personally, I think the ending was just right. Not to happy, not too sad. I think fanfiction.net needs some more endings that aren't totally mushy. So, this brings Obsession to an end. Who's that Girl is next!
Until next time!
