Chapter 17: Final Battle Part 2
"No Syaoran wait!!!" Sakura tried to make him come back but he never even turned his head. "I can't just let him go by himself!"
As Sakura was about to run after him, Eriol and Yue held her back.
"Sorry Sakura, but we can't let you get hurt," Eriol said.
"It's for the best," Yue agreed.
"It's not for the best!" screamed a struggling Sakura nearly in tears, "Syaoran, come back!!!!"
~~~~~
Syaoran flinched as he heard Sakura calling his name.
"Sorry Sakura," he whispered softly to himself.
As he was in front of the big dragon (Katana) he got his sword out for battle. Syaoran just realized how big Katana looked up close. Syaoran was like a dot to him.
Katana snorted as if laughing at him. But Syaoran didn't care. He stood his ground.
"King of Thunder, come forth!"
Lightning hit Katana squarely but he didn't even flinch. Katana raised a big claw and tried to scratch Syaoran with his claws but luckily he dodged out of the way. But he never noticed the big, swift tail going directly at him. As he got hit, the force made him fly back and against the wall. He felt pain once again in his shoulder as it hit the wall. He winced and held his shoulder. As he looked back he saw the dragon about to hit him again with his tail and Syaoran barely survived by moving out of the way. As the tail hit the wall, everything shook. Syaoran was surprised by it but he quickly moved out of the way as Katana tried to scratch him.
~~~~~
"NO SYAORAN YOU BAKA!!!" Meiling shouted as she joined where Yue and Eriol were still trying to hold Sakura back. Tomoyo was right behind her.
"WHAT DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING?! HE CAN'T FIGHT AGAINST A DRAGON!!!" Meiling screamed as everyone else covered their ears (except Eriol, Yue and Sakura).
"He'll be killed out there…" Tomoyo said with a worried tone in her voice.
"That's why I have to go help him! Let me go!" Sakura screamed.
Sakura struggled and finally she got herself free. As soon as she did she started running towards where Syaoran was like a wet chicken.
"Wait Sakura!" Kero yelled after her. Everybody started running to catch her but as everybody probably knows, Sakura was very athletic and she outran them easily.
As she got closer to Syaoran, Syaoran noticed her coming.
"Sakura! What the hell are you doing?! I told you to stay!"
"Syaoran, I can't let you get hurt!" she answered when she was finally standing next to him.
But as they were talking, Katana thought it was the perfect time to attack with one of his tail attacks.
Syaoran saw the 'tail attack' coming.
"Sakura! Watch out!"
He quickly pushed her out of the way but he got hit and once again he flew and hit the wall with force.
But this time he didn't get up and try to run away as Katana walked toward him. Syaoran had hit the same shoulder again and now it hurt like crazy!
When Sakura saw this coming, she somehow felt her blood boil with anger.
"FIERY! WATERY! EARTHY! WINDY! Combine your powers and destroy him!" she yelled. She threw the Cards to the sky and pointed her wand at them.
~~~~~
"No Sakura! You'll waste your magic!" Eriol yelled.
But it was too late.
The dragon seemed surprised as he saw Watery and Windy combine their powers with each other and cast water and wind down at him. They hit him directly. Then suddenly he felt heat and when he turned around Fiery was there and he cast a big fireball at him. Then rocks from Earthy started falling down from the ceiling out of nowhere. The dragon growled as the rocks covered him all up until he can be seen no more.
Everyone gaped. Did they really defeat him already? Had Katana been not as strong as Eriol said? Eriol and Syaoran doubted it.
There was a big silence in the air…
~~~~~
Sakura started getting drowsy and she sat down on the ground holding her head. Eriol and everybody else were about to run towards her……….

There was a pig quake and they lost their footing. It was so big that Meiling fell while Tomoyo had to hold onto Eriol for balance.
After a big shake, the dragon burst out from underneath the pile of rocks on top of him.
The angry dragon growled as fire came from his mouth. He stomped his feet and when he saw Sakura just sitting there not noticing him at all, he thought it was the perfect time to strike again. Wings sprouted out from his back and he flew hastily towards her in anger.
"NOOOO SAKURA!!!!!!!!!"
~~~~~
~Sakura's POV~
After the Cards had attacked and when I saw with my own eyes that Katana was defeated, I thought all was all right. My head started going in circles and I sat down and tried to think straight. But I couldn't. I felt my head spinning so fast that the big trembling from the ground beneath me was like a tiny shake. But the quaking started getting bigger, and bigger and closer and closer. I heard a voice yell out, "NOOOO SAKURA!!!!!!"
It was Syaoran's voice. He's all right. But why was he yelling?
As the spinning died down little by little I opened my eyes to see what was going on. I never expected to see what I saw. Right in front of me a big dragon looked down upon me with hateful eyes…how did he survive? There's no hope for me now….But then a quick image flew past in my still dizzy head…It was quick and faint but I can clearly see what it was…
It was a small premonition. Tears sprang to my eyes…
~~~~~
~Normal POV~
"Why is Sakura crying?" Tomoyo asked.
Everybody started running towards Sakura.
'I guess she saw what I saw…' thought Eriol.
Eriol did see what Sakura saw in her mind. And it was terrible.
It was of Syaoran about to kill himself…
Eriol and Sakura saw it clearly in their minds. The sword ready to pierce his stomach, his nervous but determined expression…
"Sakura! What's wrong?" Kero asked.
Katana got ready to grab her.
As everybody was about to reach Sakura, they saw a bright green light coming from the direction where Syaoran was. They turned their heads and they saw that the light was surrounding him but they could still see him.
The sword was pointing at his stomach, just as Sakura and Eriol pictured it would.
"No Syaoran! Don't!!!" Sakura pleaded.
~~~~~
~Syaoran's POV~
I felt a pang of guilt when I saw Sakura's face…her face streaked with tears. Everybody else just stood there in horror. But what could I do? I felt tears sting my eyes as memories flashed by. But I'm Li Syaoran, Li Clan Leader…I never cry…But I didn't care, I let tears flow freely as I tried to hide it though I knew it was no use. Katana stared at me with an angry expression but he didn't move…he knew what was to happen…
~~~~~
~Normal POV~
"Sakura…sorry…" Syaoran said.
"No please! Don't!"
But Syaoran just continued on.
"Everybody…I'll miss you…"
"Stop Syaoran!"
"Sakura, don't cry for me…I'll never be alone again…as long as you're okay…You were my first real love…but also my last And everybody else…take care of her for me…and take care of yourselves…" Syaoran whispered through tears.
"No Syaoran! I won't allow this!" Meiling shouted.
Katana growled furiously and he grabbed Sakura in his hand.
Syaoran started his chant.
"As Li Clan Leader…with all my magic and strength, I sacrifice myself for the protection of the owner of the Cards…and my only true love…. Help me vanquish this evil!!!"
His sword pierced through him and he shut his eyes because of the pain. Green light surrounded Katana and him. With little strength he had, Syaoran pulled the sword out wincing in pain…the sword fell beside him with his own blood on it and he fell to the ground.
Katana turned back into his human form. Behind him big black hole appeared. Black beams shot up from the hole and wrapped around Katana, pulling him inside.
"Argh! You stupid Li! But now at least you will suffer, Cardmistress…That pitiful Li was the thing you loved most…and now you will suffer greatly!!!"
Katana laughed like a maniac as the beams pulled him in. He didn't even struggle, "And to remind you, I WILL COME BACK!!! THOSE CARDS WILL BE MINE EVEN IF I'D HAVE TO KILL ANYONE WHO STANDS IN MY WAY!!!!!"
Everybody stared at him with wide eyes. At last he was fully pulled inside the black hole…finally out of their sights. The hole got littler and littler until it disappeared, too.
Sakura got up unaware that the dizziness was still in her head. But she ran towards Syaoran anyway. Everybody else followed silently but also quickly.
Sakura kneeled beside Syaoran. Everybody stood behind her knowing that she would want to talk to him first.
". S-Syaoran?! No…Syaoran…you can't leave me…" Sakura lifted his head and cradled it gently. "Now…Now I'll be the lonely one without you…please…c-come back…please…"
During the whole time, Sakura's tears flowed freely. Her sadness swept her away. Why'd Katana have to show up? Everything was perfect before she knew about him. But now…nothing would be the same.
~~~~~~
~Spinel Sun's POV~
After all the years I've served Master Eriol, I've never had to experience losing someone. Lady Sakura looks like she's in a lot of pain. But the strange thing is that she's not physically hurt anywhere. How can that be? Master Eriol and Nakuru were right, there is a lot of things you can't learn reading books.
~~~~~
~Yue's POV~
As I
watched Mistress talk to Master Li like a lunatic, I suddenly got a pain inside
me. It was a greater pain than anything I've ever felt before. It was kind of
like when Clow Reed passed away right before my eyes.
I found myself longing for that Li to come back suddenly. It didn't occur to me
really that Sakura would be longing for him so much. I knew that they were more
than friends but what are they then? Is this what they call…love?
~~~~~
~Kero's POV~
I'll kill Katana!!! How dare he do this to Sakura and to everybody! That Gaki was stupid but he never deserved this! But I understand why he did what he did. But what now? Sakura will be so sad that she won't give me extra pudding anymore! But that's not the point. I just hope she…and everybody else…cheer up. Damn Katana.
~~~~~
~Meiling's POV~
No…I can't believe it. I won't believe it. How can Syaoran be gone just like that? What will Sakura do next? What will I do next? What do I tell Auntie and his sisters? What will I tell the Elders? Wow…so many questions and not even ten minutes have past. Why can't you just come back, Syaoran? You'll save me and everybody else, especially Sakura, a lot of pain.
~~~~~
~Eriol's POV~
What just happened? This can't be happening. It's too hard experiencing the same event twice. What do we do now? Now whom will I tease? What will happen to Sakura? *sigh* Nothing will ever be the same anymore…
~~~~~
~Tomoyo's POV~
Oh no…Sakura's really hurt. I can almost feel what she's going through inside. I can't believe Katana is THAT evil. But how can Syaoran just leave Sakura like that? Didn't he love her? Didn't he know that if he dies Sakura basically dies because he's not around? How can I cheer her up now? The only thing that can cheer her up is Syaoran…and I can't bring him back to life! Poor Sakura…
~~~~~
~Sakura's POV~
…W-What just happened?!………How can he be gone…how come this has to happen to me? Is it because I'm the Card Mistress? Would Syaoran be okay if I wasn't the Card Mistress? But then I've never would have met him. I'm so confused…And I can't get this big pain out from inside me…I don't think I'll ever love anyone as much as I loved him…I miss him already…Syaoran just can't be gone! What will I do without him? What will happen now? You said you were the lonely one…but now, Syaoran, now I'm the lonely one.
~~~~~
~Normal POV~
Sakura sat there with Syaoran still in her arms and everybody else just watching quietly, sadly behind her. After a few minutes that seemed like a few years, Sakura still had tears flowing out of her tired, emerald eyes. Everybody behind her also had tears. They didn't care that they had spent almost half an hour waiting with Sakura. She needed all the support that she could get.
Sakura didn't want to move…she didn't want to talk either. She couldn't just leave. She couldn't stay either for it would stab her heart even more staying with an immobile Syaoran. She didn't know what to do so she just stayed put.
Nobody knew what to do…so they wished silently that something…anything…would happen to get Syaoran back.
(THE END……………………………………..
………………………….
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T JUST LEAVE SYAORAN LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!)
Suddenly an unexpected gust of air swept through them. Sakura's tears stopped as she tried to see what was going on. In front of Sakura and Syaoran was a bright, white light. It was so bright that everybody had to shade their eyes to see. The light finally died down and there stood a beautiful lady. A lady with a long white robe, wings, soft gentle eyes, and wavy silvery hair. She smiled at them with a gentle smile. She looked exactly like…
"Oka-san?!" Sakura said surprised, still holding Syaoran in her arms.
"Sakura, that's your mother?! She's very pretty!!! Er…I mean she is pretty but not as pretty as my mother though…" Meiling said.
She smiled sweetly.
"Your mother is very beautiful, Meiling," the angel said.
"How do you know me?"
"I know everybody here."
"Wait, why are you here?" Sakura asked.
"I came to give you a message," she replied with an angelic voice.
"Huh?"
"You are missing one Card."
"NANI?! But I have all the Cards already!"
"My, you are really confused aren't you? You remind me of myself sometimes when I watch you."
Sakura sweat dropped.
"The Card you are missing nobody has seen yet. And you haven't caught it yet," Sakura's mother replied.
"Demo…I thought I had all the Cards…and if there were an extra Card then why haven't I sensed it yet. Have you sensed anything, Eriol?" Sakura asked Eriol.
Eriol shook his head slowly. "No I haven't. I wonder what she's talking about."
"You kids haven't sensed it yet because all of you have been worrying a lot these past few weeks. But you had a right to worry especially since it was one of your best friends. Poor Syaoran…" Nadeshiko said sadly as she looked at Syaoran with gloomy eyes.
That reminder of Syaoran suddenly got Sakura crying once again.
"Oh Sakura…please stop crying…what would Syaoran say if he saw you crying for him?" Nadeshiko asked kneeling and hugging her daughter.
The warm unfamiliar embrace made Sakura to stop crying. It has been a long time since she had ever felt a mother's hug.
"If you ever find that Card I told you about…then maybe things will be better."
"I don't even know where to look though," Sakura replied.
"Sakura-san…please don't tell me you're as dense as me, too."
Everybody sweat dropped.
"But really…where do I look?"
Nadeshiko smiled. "Why don't you try looking inside of you?"
A bright light flashed and suddenly a Card appeared in front of Sakura.
"Where did that come from?" Yue asked.
"It came from all of you, including Syaoran and everybody else who's not here…don't you see? Since the time that you all knew about Katana, everybody wished for Syaoran not to die even though you all knew that it was his job. Even he himself wished that he wouldn't have to leave everyone. But as time went on, everyone became more and more worried. And as Syaoran saw that people were worried about him, he started to realize that he wasn't that lonely anymore…that he actually had friends. But all the emotions and wishes from everyone started to build up. Soon it became powerful somehow that even I don't know how. Syaoran's final wish was that everyone would be alright without him. That last wish made all the emotions stronger and in some weird way, the emotions turned into a Card…the Wish Card," Nadeshiko explained, "it is hard to comprehend though…but basically all the wishes of Syaoran not dying and all the emotions of everyone turned into a Card."
Everyone listened intently.
"But what exactly does this Card do?" Sakura asked, looking at the Card floating in front of her.
The Card was white, and a woman was in the picture in white robes and a smile on her face. (a/n: it isn't Sakura's mother on the Card.)
"It can give you anything you've ever wanted, money, a house, video games, anything at all. It can even revive people from the dead," Sakura's mother winked as she said the last thing.
Everybody gawked at her, trying to see if she was joking. But she was dead serious.
"But be careful what you wish for. You can wish for anything for good or evil. It depends on how much you want it to happen that actually makes it come true. Once you use it once, you can't use it again for it will disappear. But I think your wish in your mind right now will come true because you really want it," the angel continued.
Sakura looked from her mother, to the Card, to Syaoran.
"I can really get Syaoran back, Okaa-san?" she asked softly.
Her mother nodded.
"Get Xiao Lang back, Sakura," Meiling said.
"We all want him back," Spinel Sun said.
"It would be fun if that Gaki were back. Even I miss him," Kero confessed.
"Yeah, everybody misses my cute lil' Descendant. Besides I need someone to tease," Eriol said.
"You would be much happier with him back, Sakura. And we would be happy because you're happy," Tomoyo said.
"…do whatever makes you happy…" Yue said a tiny smile on his face.
Sakura nodded, happy that everyone agreed with her.
"Okay…I'm getting him back…what do I do?" she asked.
Her mother had a nervous face on.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked her mother.
"It's nothing…here's what you do. Grab the Card, use your wand to activate it and then state your wish."
Sakura picked up her wand and shouted the phrase she has to say. After the phrase she said, "Wish Card, I wish that Syaoran were alive again."
There was a flash of light and the Card disappeared.
~~~~~
~Where Syaoran is…~
"What the?!"
Syaoran looked around him. All he saw was black.
"Am I…dead?"
Suddenly images appeared all around him. There was when he was a little boy, there was when he started training, there was when he moved to Tomoeda, there was when he met Sakura, and on and on and on…but somehow…he just couldn't remember experiencing them.
"What? Are these…my memories? I see myself in them…but I just can't remember…" his words echoed through the blackness as he tried to comprehend what was happening.
More memories flashed through, making him more confused.
"W-Wha..? Who are those people? Who…who am I? Where am I?"
More images flashed by.
Syaoran held his head in his hands.
"HOW COME I CAN'T REMEMBER!!!!"
That simple phrase echoed, bouncing back to him. And suddenly all the images vanished, just like that.
He looked up again, and there was one image left:
When he and Sakura were kissing for the first time…
His eyes widened, his heart beating fast.
"W-Who is that?"
Suddenly he found himself in the middle of a busy sidewalk. People walked by in blurs, cars zoomed by, but one thing stood out clear. A girl….a brown haired girl…an emerald eyed girl…one of the most beautiful girls he has ever seen. But then again, he never remembered the girls he met before. But those emerald eyes, just staring at him, made him freeze. It ripped through him, to his heart. It made his heart pump faster and faster. Who was this girl? How could she see him when nobody else seemed like they couldn't?
Suddenly the girl whispered something. Syaoran heard it, in fact it boomed loud in his ears.
Syaoran…come back…
Syaoran saw tears form in her eyes. Soon they started flowing down. He had a big sudden urge to hug her or even…kiss her.
"What the heck? I don't even know this girl. And who's Syaoran? …Does she mean…me?"
He looked around, figuring that the girl was probably talking to someone else. But nobody even looked at him or the girl. And as he looked back at the girl, he knew that she was looking straight at him.
"Syaoran…you don't remember? It's me…" she said.
"Who…who are you?"
More tears formed in her emerald eyes. He felt something tug at his heart. Was it…guilt?
His urge to hug her, to comfort her in some way, became bigger. But he couldn't just go to a stranger. The girl had her head bowed down, trying to hide that she was crying.
Syaoran suddenly took a step towards her, not knowing what he was doing. He took another and another and another. The people disappeared, the cars vanished, and the whole busy street was gone. He was back to the black place…but only two things remained, himself and the girl.
As he was slowly walking towards the girl, he suddenly stopped.
'What the heck am I doing? I don't even know the girl. Maybe I should just leave her alone.' he thought.
But then a voice in his head said, "No, go to her. She needs you. Don't listen to your mind, listen to you heart…"
Syaroan was startled by these words. Should he listen?
He took a few more steps towards her.
"…Ummm are you okay?..." he asked nervously.
But the girl didn't respond she just continued crying.
Syaoran caught himself putting his arms around her in a hug. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all, in fact, it felt like it was…right or something. His heart eased and stopped beating so fast. Syaoran found himself hugging her tighter and more closer to him. The next thing he knew it, he started comforting her by telling her everything was alright. But he still didn't remember the girl. Then the girl started to whisper back.
"Syaoran…I knew you wouldn't forget me. I love you…"
Then something hit him as she said, "I love you." Something big hit him. Suddenly everything was alright. He remembered! He remembered everything!
"S-Sakura! Where am I? How are the others? Am I …dead?"
Sakura smiled and said nothing. She placed her finger on his lips making him stop with the questions. She got closer to his face and place her lips onto his.
Syaoran felt joy sprout through him, tingling him with happiness.
~~~~~
~Back to where Sakura and everybody else were~
"Why isn't he back yet?" Sakura asked anxiously.
"Sakura, he'll be back," Tomoyo said.
Sakura was still in the same position with Syaoran in her arms and everyone else was kneeling or sitting around Syaoran and Sakura. Nadeshiko was also still there waiting.
"He'll be back right? Sakura made a wish on the Wish Card. And it can give you anything right?" Kero asked also worried.
Nadeshiko gave a nervous smile.
"What's wrong?" Yue asked.
She sighed in reply.
"It's time to tell you the truth. When I told you that he will return, I wasn't exactly one hundred percent sure," she confessed.
"But you told us the Wish Card can give us anything!" Sakura said worriedly.
"It can but it's different for humans. The human has to be willing to come back."
"But Syaoran wants to come back…why should that be a problem?" Meiling asked.
"Well, people lose their memories when they die. Their souls are confused and they don't remember anything. They just remember that they died. So if they don't even remember where they were from or the people they cared for, they think that it's not even worth coming back when they have a chance. But some are lucky; some get something that helps them remember who they are and all the people they met," the angel replied, "I think Syaoran is one of those lucky souls."
"But…there's still a chance that he…" Eriol said.
"Syaoran would never forget me…I know he won't…" Sakura whispered, "I know he won't…he…he loves me…"
~~~~~
As minutes passed, their hopes sank…almost all of them…Sakura was determined that Syaoran wouldn't forget her. But there was a tiny voice inside her saying that she was a dork thinking that Syaoran will come back, but still she tried to assure herself. Tears started pouring from her eyes and everyone else was filled with sadness and grief. Even Sakura's mother didn't know what to do.
Suddenly they heard a soft groan.
"Syaoran?" Sakura said hopefully.
In a few minutes he finally opened his eyes and was trying to see through the blurs.
Sitting up, he gave a small smile.
Sakura gasped and hugged him tightly, finally feeling the warm tingle inside her again.
Syaoran was finally back…
Syaoran hugged back and stroked her hair gently. Everybody had tears in their eyes seeing this wonderful couple together once again.
Nadeshiko smiled as she watched her daughter with the person she loved the most. Her warm aura filled the air and all the sadness was suddenly swept away. When Syaoran and Sakura looked at her, she smiled even more seeing how happy these two were.
"You were wrong, Syaoran…" Nadeshiko said.
"Huh?"
"…you weren't lonely at all…you just thought you were…"
And with that she slowly vanished. But before she did, she promised that she would watch over all of them always.
"Syaoran…you didn't forget me…" Sakura said.
"Of course not…how could I forget you?"
Before they knew it their lips touched and they were kissing passionately.
"Awww…Kawaii!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
~~~~~
'Jeez, where ARE they? Do they have Master Syaoran with them?'
Nakuru was clouded with thoughts. It had been a VERY long night with all the crying. She felt almost to tears herself. Nah…she couldn't cry. She had to help everybody. Yelan and Syaoran's sisters were already sleeping, and so were Touya and Fujitaka. Nakuru sat in the living room waiting for their return. She glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 3 am! She shivered nervously and prayed that they would come back soon. Just as her eyes were about to weigh down, she heard a soft creak from the door. She ran to open the door and before her stood Eriol, Spinel Sun, Kero, Meiling and Tomoyo.
"Where's Yue, Mistress Sakura and Master Syaoran!!! Are they all right!!! What happened?" she started shooting lots of questions at them.
Eriol stepped up towards her and gave her a comforting smile.
"…It's all over…don't worry about anything…"
Then they stepped aside for Yukito (he changed when they left) to walk in. He was helping Syaoran walk since he still couldn't walk straight. Beside Yukito was Sakura who was also helping him walk.
Syaoran lifted a tired eye and smiled.
"…don't worry...."
Suddenly they heard footsteps from the stairs.
"Is that you, Nakuru? We all woke up when we heard voices."
Down came Yelan, all of Syaoran's sisters, Fujitaka and Touya. They were still half asleep and were yawning like crazy.
Suddenly they saw everybody else by the door.
~~~~~
"Xiao Lang?!" Suddenly Yelan and everybody else were wide-awake and they ran of the stairs.
Yelan hugged him until Syaoran could barely breathe and his sisters were saying that they'd never tease their little brother again. They all went into the living room to hear the story.
After the looooong story, Yelan hugged her 'little boy' once more.
"I'm so glad that you're alright…I will understand if you would want to step down from being the Li Clan Leader…"
Syaoran was still tired and drowsy from what had happened and he was a little confused at his mother's behavior. Usually she would walk around like she had no emotions at all and that she was covered with pride. Syaoran wasn't confused at her sudden show of emotions.
"…It's alright. I'd like to stay the Li Leader since no one else will take the job. Besides, being the leader, my job is to protect Sakura…"
This brought blushes to his face as he realized what he said. This also brought blushes to Sakura face.
"KAWAII!!!!"
Syaoran winced at his sisters' Tomoyo's and Nakuru's reactions. Tomoyo whipped her camera out and while Nakuru and his sisters had stars in their eyes.
"Oh please…"
Everybody had a good laugh.
"But you know, Gaki, even though you're alive and well, I'm still gonna pound you for letting my sister go off in danger…" Touya said with a serious expression on his face.
"Well you couldn't beat someone up even if your life depended on-"
"Why doesn't everybody go to sleep now?" Sakura said quickly cutting off Syaoran's retort.
Everybody nodded in agreement.
"But there's still one thing I don't get…" Eriol stated as they all got up.
"What is it Eriol?" Tomoyo asked.
"If Syaoran isn't the one in the legend that the fortune teller told long ago….then who is?……."
