Chapter Fourteen: Miracles
Sakura opened her eyes and cursed at the sun that was shining into her eyes. She was still so tired from her battle with Aku. 'Where am I?' Sakura asked herself, noticing the walls that were covered with tiny cherry blossom imprints, it was the same room she stayed at in the beginning of the year, 'I'm probably at the Li Mansion.' Sakura thought. Her body felt like it was on fire and a thousand swords were piercing through her. When she finally came back to reality, she heard a small weeping sound. She looked to her right and saw Syaoran, his face buried in the sheets, he was crying. "I'm so sorry, Syaoran." was all she could let out. Sakura let out a small smile and stared into his amber eyes.
Syaoran was full of joy when he heard her beautiful angelic spoke once again. He looked up and looked into her enchanting emerald green eyes. "Sakura..." Syaoran sighed, "Its not your fault..."
Sakura winced, "I should've told you about..." Sakura tried to explain.
Syaoran looked deep into her eyes and happiness was filled throughout his body. He reached his hand out and touched her cheek, "I should be the one that is should be apologizing." he told her, remembering when he had slapped her and pushed her into the lake.
Tears streamed down Sakura's face, "Syaoran... I-I..."
"Shh..." Syaoran hushed, his eyes met Sakura's emerald pools, he leaned closer, they could each feel each other's breath on their faces. They both felt as if something was pulling them together, but the two didn't mind, they had too many things rushing through their minds. Sakura leaned closer, when their lips were only a couple of inches apart-
"Syaoran!" Akane came bursting in.
'We were so close!' both of them cursed in their minds. Syaoran gave a deadly glare to Akane.
Sakura swung her head to the door and saw a girl with black hair and light purple eyes. 'Who is she?' Sakura asked herself, with a twinge of jealously.
"Wait! Akane!" Tomoyo came running after her. When she noticed that Sakura was sitting up and smiling again, "Sakura! Your awake!" Tomoyo ran over, with tears streaming down her face, she ran over and gave Sakura a hug.
"Tomoyo! How did you get here?" Sakura giggled.
"Well..." Tomoyo started.
"Akane! We told you not to disrupt Syaoran!" Eriol came rushing in. "Oh, I'm glad to see that you're doing well Sakura." he gave a light smile.
"Why not? Why can't I see my own fiancee? We are going to be husband and wife you know." Akane pointed out.
At that very moment Sakura felt as if she was battling Aku again, but this time she was destroyed completely. "H-h-uus-sband?" Sakura practically choked. Her heart crumbled into thousands of pieces, tears started to fall down her cheek rapidly.
Syaoran looked at her with an apologized look. "I'm sorry..." he mouthed.
"How could you!" Sakura had gathered all her strength and yelled, she closed her eyes, anger filled inside of her. After a moment she spoke calmly, "Please leave, Syaoran."
Akane winced at the scene, 'Could it be?' she thought.
Syaoran hung his head down in shame, "Alright..." he whispered, tears forming in his eyes, 'I never meant to hurt you...' he thought sadly. He sauntered out of the room quietly.
Tomoyo looked as if she was going to burst into tears, 'Why?!' she thought, disappointed that Sakura and Syaoran weren't together yet, 'They were meant to be!'
"Sakura!" a male voice called, "Are you okay? I heard a yell."
Sakura turned to the doorway and saw a very tall man with brown hair. 'Touya?' she thought, immediately rubbing her eyes. "Touya?" she asked timidly.
"The one and only, kaijui!" Touya smiled happily.
Sakura tried to get out of the bed, but plopped back onto the pillow, wincing in pain.
"You are still weak, Sakura... you have to stay in bed for awhile." Eriol informed.
Touya ran up to her and hugged her, small trickles of slid down his cheek.
"I thought you were dead!" Sakura said, full of joy.
"I thought so too, but when I woke up, I found myself here." he told her.
"I found them on the ground after you defeated Aku." Tomoyo piped up quietly, not trying to ruin their happy moment.
The two siblings finally separated from their embrace. Sakura looked questionably at Eriol, "How is it possible that Touya is alive," she paused and remembered that Syaoran had also been hurt badly, but he didn't have one single cut on him, "And how come Syaoran doesn't look injuried?" Sakura asked.
"Well..." Eriol started, "I think that all the magic that Aku has used, like one the magic he used to destroy Touya, has been lifted, even Josh and Janelle seem to be fine."
"Then how come Sakura is still hurt?" Touya asked, his temper rising.
"Sakura was hurt by her own cards, they were reflected off of a mirror. Since it was her magic... it will have to heal by itself." Eriol explained slowly.
"You healed our father! How come you can't heal her?" Touya asked angrily, glancing at all the cuts and bruises that were on Sakura.
"I am only half of the recarnation of Clow Reed. The Sakura Cards, have a lot more power than I do." Eriol replied.
"Dad?" Sakura finally remembered, "He's alive too?"
"Yes I am, Sakura." Fujitaka stepped into the room. He walked over and gave his daughter a hug. [a/n: I don't think I told you that Fujitaka and Touya know all about Kero and the cards right? Well they do P]
Sakura was filled with happiness and said softly, "I'm so glad that your okay..."
Tomoyo looked at the happy family, as they were finally reunited after a harsh year, 'Now only if I can get Sakura and Syaoran together...' she thought, inside her head, a scheme was already hatching inside her head.
Eriol looked at her and noticed the evil grin she had plastered on her face. He wrapped his arm around her waist, "Tell me about the plan later." he whispered into her ear.
"So what happened to Josh and Janelle?" Sakura asked.
"Well..." Eriol started, "They told me that they were put under some spell by Aku, which made them turn evil... they already left for Japan." he finished with a assuring look.
Sakura scanned the room, not really searching for a specific item, but then she noticed a black stone sitting on one of the tables. "The shield card... how did it break through Aku's barrier?" Sakura asked, remembering the moment when she felt her life was going to be taken away.
"I'm not sure..." Eriol replied, "You never trained them to break the barrier did you?"
Sakura shooked her head. 'But how did Shield break through his barrier?' she asked herself once again. Suddenly she noticed a glow from her cards sitting beside the black stone. All of a sudden, all 52 [a/n: does include the love and hope too?? ahh... my head hurts!!] cards shot up, forming a circle inside the room. "Mistress..." voices called to Sakura.
"My cards..." Sakura sniffed.
"We apologize for putting you in so much pain." they spoke.
"It's not your fault..." Sakura reassured, "If it weren't for all of you, I wouldn't be here right now..."
Eriol stepped into the center of their circle, "Answer me something... How did Shield break through Aku's barrier without any training what so ever?" he asked, looking intently at each card. 'That's strange... I've never seen something like this ever... the cards have never spoken to anyone and have never been able to act on their own...' he thought.
"Our Mistress wanted to save him so much, her emotions gave his more strength, which abled us to become stronger and defeat any barrier." they spoke calmly, "And for your questions, that you have been asking yourself..." they said, as if they had read his mind, "Our Mistress was calling for us... now, Mistress, please rest and take care of yourself. We will be here when you need us." In a flash, all the cards were setup on the table, as they were before.
Touya and Tomoyo gaped in amazement.
Sakura leaned onto the pillow, 'I'm glad that Touya and dad is alright... but Syaoran...' Sakura thought with tears forming in her eyes once again.
"Please mother, let me break my engagement to Akane..." Syaoran pleaded. He was in the library with his mother, trying to convince her to break his engagement.
"I'll try my best, son." she looked intently at her only son, "But I'm afraid that it is impossible."
"But..." Syaoran let out angrily, suddenly realizing why his mother had let Ying Fa who was actually Sakura stay at the mansion at the beginning of the year, "You knew didn't you?" he asked in a cold tone
Yelan looked at her son, she felt his pain, and took full resposibility that they were even in this situation, "Yes I knew but-"
"Why did you even arrange this marriage then?" Syaoran said angrily, cutting her off.
"I don't really know..." Yelan sighed. She didn't even remember when she had arranged Syaoran's and Akane's engagement, 'Could it be Aku's doing?' Yelan asked herself.
"Never mind, mother." Syaoran spoke coldly, "I'm going to go train." With that said, Syaoran walked out of the library quickly. 'Sakura...' Syaoran thought, her emerald eyes filling up with anger and sadness flashed into his mind, he felt tears stinging in the corner of his eye.
Yelan was standing by the window, trying to find a possible solution, for Syaoran's sake. 'I just want him to be happy...' she thought. She turned around and saw Akane.
"Excuse me..." she said timidly.
"I overheard the conversation between you and your son. I would like to break off the engagement, but I need you to help me with something." Akane said softly.
