A/N #1: Hey peoples! This is my second fic. I hope you like it. By the way, Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo are 19, the other students ages are 18-22, and the professors are 30-?.
A/N #2: Well, this is it peoples—the finale. It has been a long couple of months, but it has finally come to the end. I apologize, again, for not updating this sooner, but it couldn't have been helped. I just hope that this chapter does not come to be disappointment. I surely at least wanted this to make up for my lack of promptness to updating this. In addition to this being the final chapter, this will also be the longest, not including all the names I mentioned in the beginning. That's all I have to say for now. I truly hope that you enjoy this last chapter.

CHAPTER 15 (FINAL?)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hong Kong Memorial Hospital, Room 357 . . .
Darkness. That was all Syaoran could see surrounding him. Loneliness began to emerge from himself.
Am I dead? . . . No, can't be. Now is not the time to die. I can't leave all the friends I have made in my life. I can't leave my fraternity brothers, who I have adopted as if they were family. I can't leave my mother, my sisters, Wei, and MeiLin. And I will never leave Sakura. NEVER!!!
Suddenly, a small speck of light emerge from the surrounding darkness. Even though is was small, it shone as bright as a star in a clear night sky.
Without a moment to spare, Syaoran ran with all he could muster towards the light. As Syaoran was approaching closer and closer to the source of the light, he could hear the faint sound of voices in the distance.
Would it be any trouble if I stayed in his room?
I don't see any problem with that, Miss Kinomoto. But if you need anything just summon one of the nurses.
Sakura? With her in mind. He pumped his legs harder so he could reach that light and be with the one he loved.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hong Kong Memorial Hospital, Waiting Room . . .
Sakura was gripping onto the arm of the chair, waiting for either the doctor or the nurse to tell her Syaoran's condition. She couldn't stop the quiet tears of fear she shed the moment he lost consciousness. The paramedics did allow her to come along with them in the ambulance, but she wasn't allowed any further passed the emergency room and was told to wait in the Waiting Room.
Well, she has been there for the last 45 minutes, and she was getting more and more nervous by the minute.
What's taking so long? Oh, I hope it's nothing serious. Sakura thought. Just then, a fairly old man in a white lab coat came from the doors and approached Sakura.
"Miss Kinomoto?" the doctor asked, and continued when Sakura gave a nod of acknowledgement. "I am Dr. Tao."
"Is Syaoran alright? He's not dead, is he?" Sakura began throwing barrages of questions, but Dr. Tao just placed a hand on her shoulder, and led her through a corridor to all of the rooms.
"You have nothing to worry about. Mr. Li is fine. He did, however, lose a significant amount of blood and he did require stitches, but it was nothing life threatening and I would recommend that he stay here for a couple of days." Dr. Tao said, stopping in front of the window to Room 357. He motioned Sakura to look through the window where a sleeping Syaoran lay. "He's just tired right now, but he should be up and about by tomorrow morning."
Sakura said nothing. She couldn't while watching Syaoran lying still on the bed.
Looking at his watch, Dr. Tao began to open the door when Sakura spoke.
"Would it be any trouble if I stayed in his room?" At that, Dr. Tao just smiled.
"I don't see any problem with that, Miss Kinomoto. But if you need anything just summon one of the nurses." Dr. Tao said. He then fully opened the door and allowed Sakura to enter the dim room first.
She took a seat by the window so she wouldn't be in the way while Dr. Tao did his check of Syaoran's stats. After 10 minutes of examining. The sound of a pager was coming from his lab coat.
"It looks like I'm the one being summoned." Dr. Tao commented, as he place his pager back into his pocket. He then turned to Sakura. "I'll be back later to check up on him." He then walked out of the room, leaving Sakura with the sleeping Syaoran.
Sakura then took this opportunity to get a closer look of Syaoran. The pallor of his skin was beyond normal. Sakura had to admit that Syaoran did look like he was at peace, but that did not soothe the pain that she still felt.
She took the seat on the chair right next to Syaoran's bed. After waiting a few minutes, Sakura couldn't hold her feelings any longer.
"I don't know if you can hear me Syaoran, but you better not die on me now." Sakura said. "If you leave me now, you're gonna regret it. I'll make sure of it." Sakura then buried her face into her arms and let the tears fall.
Unknown to Sakura, Syaoran's body faintly stirred to the sound of crying and his eyes slowly drifted open. Syaoran blinked away the blurriness he had in his eyes, taking in his new surroundings.
His eyes the fell upon the crying head of auburn resting on his bed. His heart filled knowing that the one he loved was by his side. But it also tore it knowing that he was the reason why his love was in tears.
He tried to muster enough strength to bring his hand and soothe Sakura, but he found that task quite difficult at the moment. Syaoran's movement did make Sakura jump.
"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled, overwhelmed with both relief and happiness. Regardless of his body's current condition, Sakura was on her feet and wrapped her arms around Syaoran. "I'm so glad that you're awake."
"Umm, Sakura?" Syaoran murmured, "could you kinda loosen up a bit? I do think my body needs the oxygen at the moment."
Realizing what she was doing, Sakura release Syaoran from her bear hug.
"Oops, umm sorry. I guess I got carried away." Sakura replied, frantically wiping away the tears she had been shedding for the past couple of minutes.
Syaoran attempted one more time to lift his arm and was able to wipe the last tear that was on the verge of falling from her angelic face.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, Sakura. Please don't cry. As you can see, I'm up and alive. I don't plan on leaving you if I could help it." Syaoran declared.
Touched by his words, Sakura gave Syaoran an affectionate kiss on the lips. Putting down the guardrail on the side of the bed, Sakura laid her body close to Syaoran's. When Syaoran knew that Sakura was securely lying on his bed, he wrapped an arm around her waist and held her close, making sure she couldn't go anywhere.
"Sakura?" Syaoran asked.
"Hmm?" Sakura replied lazily, as if she was about to drift to sleep.
"I'm not sure about this, but did you just threaten to hurt me if I didn't wake up?" Syaoran asked it somewhat teasing manner.
"I did no such thing." Sakura said indignantly, though slightly embarrassed that he was able to hear that brief emotion.
"Okay. Just wondering." With his mind at ease, Syaoran recommended Sakura to sleep, which she willingly obliged.
While Syaoran listened to Sakura's light snores, he could help but shed a few tears of relief. It was unbearable to think that he could have lost Sakura tonight. Now that the threat was gone, he allowed his body to relax and enjoy the comfort of having Sakura by his side. After a few minutes, he followed Sakura and drifted into a sweet slumber.
END OF CHAPTER 15
A/N #4: WAIT!!!! Before you guys start saying this was a crappy ending, I need to ask you something:
Do you think I should have an epilogue to this story? (YES or NO?)
I was considering adding one, but I wasn't sure if you would want another one. If you do, say YES or NO in your review. Once one overwhelms the other, then you will see if there will be an epilogue or not.
A/N #5: Okay, I'm not sure if this will be the last part to this story. But if it is, I would like to thank, once again, everyone who has reviewed this story. It has really meant a lot. I'm not one that really requires reviews, but I would REALLY appreciate it if you would review and answer the question above. I am honestly not sure what to do at this point and ask of your guidance and wisdom to help me make this decision. If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me via e-mail or by MSN or AOL Messenger (I'm usually on MSN). My e-mail address and SNs can be found in my Author Profile. Well, that's all I have to say. I hope to hear from ya.
