A/N: Here it is, folks. The last chapter! Even though I said in the last
chapter that I wouldn't update until I get eighty reviews, I'll count the
two phone calls and the one e-mail three review to turn seventy-seven into
eighty! I truly hope to receive a review from all of you readers, since
this is the end and all.
Foreword: I don't know how the school system works in Japan, but where I'm from, high school ends at grade eleven before going to college.

Chapter 9: Life Altering Choices
~*~*~*~*~
The Seijou High school bells chimed, signalling the end of another day of lessons. However, this wasn't an ordinary December day. The joyful laughter echoing through out the groups of students signified the beginning of the well-deserved holiday break. Nothing was better than two weeks of pure rest and relaxation.
The time off also had to be used for the graduating class's decision of what college to attend to for the upcoming year. That was the topic of the discussion Sakura, Tomoyo, Chiharu and Rika were having.
"I think I'll be going to the local college," said Chiharu as she watched the clouds in the sky. "Takashi told me that he'd probably be going there too."
"I'm not surprised," began Tomoyo. "After that stunt you pulled a couple of months ago, I bet you'll follow Takashi to the ends of the earth if you have to."
"Are you saying that you won't do the same thing for Eriol?" questioned Rika.
Tomoyo thought it over, and said, "Even though I care about him a lot, I don't think I'd be able to pick up everything and leave."
"Well, I know that I'd do anything for Syaoran," said Sakura. "The exact same way he'd do anything for me."
With those words, the four friends were suddenly bombarded with snowballs.
"Snowball fight!" shouted Syaoran, Eriol, Takashi and Kai in unison.
The girls quickly became alert and ready for action.
"You guys are going down!" yelled Sakura as she shot a snowball at Syaoran.
The snowball travelled quickly, and Syaoran had to dive to get out of the way. All though it didn't hit him, the teen landed in a pile of snow, just as Sakura planned. Covered from head to toe with snow, Syaoran's attempt to stand failed as Sakura pounced on top of him, straddling his stomach with her legs.
"One down!" she yelled, listening to the girls cheer with her victory.
Syaoran was startled with her aggressiveness, but then he formed a sly smile. Before Sakura had a chance to question him about his mysterious grin, he put his hands on her hips, and turned her around so she'd be the one who was pinned.
"One down!" he yelled, echoing his love's former words.
Sakura chuckled and said, "Now I'm going to make sure that you don't get back up."
Just as Syaoran opened his mouth to ask, Sakura lifted her head to capture his lips to give a kiss that would melt the snow of the coldest of winter days. Syaoran lowered his body down, supporting most of his weight on his arms as he returned the kiss. The couple forgot about their surroundings as they focused their mind solely on the embrace.
~*~(School Yard)~*~
The snowball fight continued between the remaining guys and girls, but soon the couples separated, making the battle be boyfriend against girlfriend.
Takashi looked around. Rika was chasing Kai in the direction of the bare cherry blossom trees, while Eriol was running after Tomoyo around the picnic tables. But where was Chiharu?
His question was answered when a large amount of snow was shoved in the back of his shirt.
Takashi shrieked and cried out, "Revenge shall be sweet, my love!"
Chiharu giggled and ran as fast her legs could carry her. Unfortunately, that wasn't fast enough as she soon felt Takashi's arm around her waist, and the two of them fell on the snow.
"Now we're both wet!" she said as she looked in Takashi's eyes. "Got any ideas on how to dry off?"
Takashi took a few moments to think it over.
"Your cloths are still at my place from that time you came to Toemoda in the rain," he said. "Why don't you change at my place, and then I'll treat you to a candlelight homemade dinner?"
Chiharu got up and pulled Takashi along side her.
"You romantic little devil," she said softly as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "There's nothing that I'd like more, but only if you let me help."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," replied Takashi as the couple left the school. Even though they were soaked to the bone with ice-cold snow, the love they shared couldn't be any warmer.
~*~(Trees)~*~
Kai was leaning back against a tree with Rika snuggled in his arms. The snowball fight long being over, the two took the time to enjoy each other's company before it was time to go their separate ways.
"Hey Kai, have you ever kissed a girl?" asked Rika out of the blue.
The dark haired teen stiffened from the question. Where did that come from?
"N-no," he stuttered. "I, um, I've always been too, uh, shy."
Rika giggled with his display of nervousness, and got up to face him.
"I've never been kissed either," she confessed. "Kiss me, Kai?
The boy smiled as he slowly brought his bare hand up to caress Rika's face. She let out a soft sigh as she tilted her head to rest her cheek in Kai's gentle hand.
Kai's thumb softly went over Rika's lips as her eyes closed, waiting for his kiss to come. When Rika felt his lips on hers, nothing felt more right, or more perfect. She couldn't of been happier, and she was sure Kai felt the same way.
~*~(Picnic Tables)~*~
Tomoyo and Eriol had their fun with the snow, and once they were finished playing, Eriol used his magic to dry both Tomoyo and himself off.
"Which college will you be going to, Eriol?" asked Tomoyo with curiosity.
Eriol looked at her with his sapphire eyes, and simply said, "I'm not going to college. In fact, I didn't even have to go to high school. But I had to stay close to Syaoran and Sakura."
Tomoyo nodded her head, understanding. Being the reincarnation of Clow Reed did have its advantages.
"So now that Sakura and Syaoran created their own magic, they don't need me anymore," he continued. "So I'm free to go back to England."
Tomoyo nodded again as tears began to sting her amethyst eyes. Would this be the end for her and Eriol? She couldn't hold back any longer as she involuntary let out a soft sob.
"So when are you leaving?" she struggled to say.
Her tears took Eriol back as he tried to figure out what caused Tomoyo to cry. When the answer finally came to him, he gathered the weeping teen in his arms, and kissed away her tears.
"Dearest Tomoyo," he whispered in her ear. "Syaoran and Sakura may not need me anymore. But that's not why I'm staying here.
A weight suddenly lifted from Tomoyo's shoulders.
"Then why are you staying?" she asked.
Eriol chuckled and his sapphire eyes sparkled as he kissed the tip of her nose.
"I love you too much to leave you, my sweet," he said soothingly. "You and I are destined to be together forever."
"Forever," Tomoyo echoed softly as she leaned forward to give him a kiss. "I'll love you forever."
~*~(Syaoran's House)~*~
"I think we're going to have more snowball fights," said Sakura as she inhaled Syaoran's scent of sandalwood and autumn from the clothes that he lent her.
"That's fine by me," Syaoran said from behind as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Especially if that means if I get to see you in my clothes."
Sakura laughed as she turned around to give him a kiss. Then another, and another. Soon she realized that she couldn't tear herself away... not that she wanted to.
Syaoran was stroking the material of the shirt on Sakura's sides. Somehow, his hands got under the material, slowly caressing the same part of her torso.
Sakura kissed him a bit harder, silently asking for more. Hesitantly, Syaoran's fingers traveled higher up, until-
The phone rang.
The couple quickly separated, catching their breath, and shyly exchanging coy smiles.
"I, uh, think I'll get that now..." Syaoran said as he headed towards the ringing phone.
Sakura was too caught up with what just happened to answer him.
'How far would we of went if there wasn't any interruptions?' she thought to herself.
Sakura was so lost in her thoughts, that she almost didn't hear Syaoran return. When she looked up at him, all she was able to focus on was his troubled face.
"There's an emergency with my Clan," he said, getting a suitcase out of the closet.
"How serious is it?" Sakura asked in a worried tone.
"I don't know yet, but I have to leave right away," he called out from his room. "But most likely I'm going to have to go to a college close to home."
The emerald-eyed beauty gasped. Everything was happening so fast.
"I'll try to come back before Christmas," he said quickly, putting on his coat. "I wouldn't ask you this unless I truly loved you, which I do. Sakura would you go to college in Hong Kong with me? Please think about it first."
"I...Syaoran," was all Sakura could say as she flung her arms around her boyfriend, not really sure when she'll she him again.
"I love you so much," Syaoran said as he gave her one last kiss. "I need to go. I'll see you soon."
Sakura looked at the one she loved until he was out of her sight.
"Goodbye Syaoran," she said softly. "I'll be waiting for you."
She gathered her belongings, and locked the door, realizing that Syaoran forgot to take his key."
~*~(Christmas Night)~*~
The days past by slowly, and if it wasn't for Syaoran's phone calls, Sakura would have broke apart inside. All though festive music was playing, and her friends and family were enjoying the party that she was hosting, Sakura couldn't help but feel that a part of her was missing.
The ring of the doorbell snapped her out of her gloomy thoughts.
'I wonder who that could be,' she thought to herself.
She opened the door, and Sakura's mouth formed into a wide smile when she saw whom it was.
"Syaoran!" she cried, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I've missed you so much!"
Syaoran lifted her up, and spun her in circles.
"I missed you too, cherry blossom," he replied.
Sakura laughed and said, "Oh my little wolf, I don't think I could bare to be apart from you any longer."
"Have you made your decision?" he asked softy, not wanting anyone to over hear.
Sakura nodded her head, and led Syaoran to the room where everyone was.
Greetings for the Chinese teen arose from various areas from the room. Sakura cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.
"I have an announcement to make," stated Sakura who quickly made eye contact with her father because she talked to him about her decision a couple of days after Syaoran left Japan.
"Syaoran will be going to college in China, and I have decided that I will be going with him."
The room quieted with Sakura's declaration. Then everyone started talking at once. While the majority of people were very happy with the news, fire was beginning to rage in a certain overprotective brother's eyes.
Before Touya could get angry, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Yukito's eyes telling him that there was nothing he could do about it, and that he had to give in. Touya let out a sigh in return.
Suddenly, Syaoran loudly cleared his own throat.
"I also have to make an announcement," he said as the room silenced for a second time. Then Syaoran turned to make his amber eyes look deep in her emerald pools.
"Sakura Kinomoto, I never thought I'd love a girl as much as I love you. You are my sunshine on any cloudy day, and being away from you is the worst pain that I ever have, and will ever suffer. I can't foresee my future without you. So I have one more question to ask." Softly, Syaoran went on one knee. "Will you marry me, and let me be your husband?"
A single tear slid down Sakura's cheek and stopped when it met the corner of her smile.
"Yes Syaoran," she said tenderly. "Now until the end of time, yes, yes, yes."
Cheers and wishes of congratulations were given as Syaoran slipped the engagement ring on Sakura's finger.
All the girls rushed to see Sakura and her newest piece of jewellery. The ring was gorgeous. A sparkling diamond was in the centre surrounded by alternating emerald and amber gems, forming the figure of the beautiful flower that leant her its name: the cherry blossom.
Everyone was enjoying the party, with the exception of Touya, and just then, an unsealed card waiting patiently outside the window caught Sakura's eye. Quickly she took her fiancée's hand, and quickly led him outside.
Once the card in the presence of its creators, it shifted itself in its free form. She was beautiful. Her light brown hair went all the way down her back, and her head was crowned with a wreath of the bluest forget-me- nots. Her dress was shimmering and it matched the colour of the flowers perfectly. Her light green eyes were the same colour as the peridot jewellery that adorned her hair, neck, wrists and hands.
"Hello card captors," she greeted. "My name is the Decision Card, and it was my job to help everyone make their decisions."
"So you're saying that you helped all of us?" asked Sakura.
"Some were easier than others," Decision began. "Rika and Kai had to decide whether or not they wanted a relationship that went deeper than friendship. Chiharu and Takashi wanted to confess their love for one and other.
"What about Eriol and Tomoyo?" questioned Syaoran. "What decision did they have to make?"
The spirit smiled. "The reincarnation of the Clow doesn't need to be there for the both of you anymore," she said. "However, he chose to stay because he loves Tomoyo too much."
"Then there's the two of us," Sakura continued. "Did we make the right decision of getting engaged?"
"If you make a choice by using the judgement of your heart, you'll never be wrong," Decision informed. "I am the last card the two of you created. Once I am sealed, this quest will be done. You have done well, card captors."
Once the Decision Card was thanked and sealed, Sakura and Syaoran went back to the house, filled with the purest love that was destined to be.

The End
A/N: It's finished! I hope everyone enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. This isn't the end of the Destined Love gang, though.

In the mean time, I hope all of you could check out my one-shot called Conclusions.
Please check out Rhea Chan's website! The results are in for the top ten CCS authors and stories on ff.net, voted by readers themselves! See my bio for the link so you can place your vote for the upcoming poll where you can vote for your favourite CCS couple and gendre!
Anyways, thanks for reading Destined Love. It really means a lot to me. I hope I'll see reviews from those you reviewed before, as well as some new people. Take care!
