I'm updating a little earlier than the usual, I don't know why is that. I just want to write, I guess. Well, this IS the last chapter of my story, and I hope you like it. I'm glad everyone liked the last chapter, so I'm trying my best to make this a great one too. Now, I want to say thank you to:
pinklover-sama: you seem very happy about my last chappy, and I'm glad you like it. I'm trying to update as fast as I can so you won't be mad at me.
d: that's a good idea... I didn't thought about it... maybe I'll do it... and here's the next chapter.
Kawaii Chibi Cherry: even though I wanted to, I think that the year 2010 is waaaay too long. I would've ended college, you know? I would like to continue, but I don't think I can make it longer. And how can you stay up until 6:30?! Yeah, who's talking, the other day I stayed until 7:00 in my computer. And your idea gave me an idea too, to put in this chapter, but I won't put it completely. You'll see.
Heavens_Angel: here's the next chapter, I hope you like it!
Kan-chan: is it my idea or you are a little hyper about it? I'm so happy you like my story, because I think your stories are great too. And about the title, I'll tell about it later.
Mei Yen: so happy you like it!! Here's the chapter.
Now, to all the people who are curious: the name actually doesn't mean anything big; it happens that one day I was daydreaming in school about CCS and came out with a conversation and that small phrase came out. And I liked it! When I started to write this fic I wanted to put that conversation but I didn't knew how, so I put the phrase as the title so I wouldn't forget about it. Now I'll finally get that conversation out of my head and live in peace!! So, enough chit chat and here's the last chapter!.
A HIDDEN PLACE (chapter 11)
"Hold on... ok... number 45. Ok, thank you very much". Tomoyo hanged up and walked over to Syaoran and Eriol, they were sitting on the couch waiting for her.
"Got it?" asked Eriol.
"Yeah, they gave me everything. The owner of the building will be waiting there and he will give you a key to her apartment" said Tomoyo, speaking to Syaoran. He nodded and got up.
"I think I better go and catch that plane" he said. It was 8 p.m, and he had to leave soon so he could be in Sydney at noon or near that time.
"Good luck, and don't let her go, ok?" said Eriol. Syaoran nodded and left the house. Eriol closed the door and went to Tomoyo, who was standing next to him. "Ok, it's all up to them now" he said, hugging her by her waist.
"Do you think she'll say yes?" she asked. He stayed there thinking about it.
"I hope so... she can't be that silly" he said. Tomoyo sighed and hugged him back, placing her arms around his neck.
"But no matter what she says, I don't want you to get into their relationship again" he said in her ear. His voice send shivers down her spine, she just hoped to stay like that forever and ever, feeling the sound of his voice. "It's been enough of getting into other people's lives. Let's worry about us now, ok?" he asked, letting go of the embrace. Tomoyo looked into his deep blue eyes and nodded. Eriol smiled and closed the gap between their lips, in a soft kiss. All the other problems didn't mattered anymore, this was a special moment between them that no one could break.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The phone ringed a couple of times before someone could pick up.
"He... hello" said a sleepy voice.
"Oops, sorry... did I woke you up?" said Sakura. Josh immediately opened his eyes.
"Ah, it's you! Yeah, you woke me up, but it's ok. So, how long have you been there?" he asked, rubbing his eyes with one hand.
"I'm in the airport still, but everything looks great. A girl from UTS came to pick me up, she's taking care of my luggage now" said Sakura. "Hey, what's the time over there?" she asked.
"It's..." Josh turned around to see the time. "It's 3:30 in the morning".
"Hoe!! Now I see why I woke you up" said Sakura, really embarrased. "I'm so sorry, I didn't knew" she said.
"It's ok, don't worry. Call me later, ok?" said Josh.
"Fine. Bye, Josh, and I'm sorry I woke you up again" said Sakura. Josh chuckled at Sakura's behavior.
"No worries. Bye" he said before hanging up.
"Bye" she said and hanged up too. She waited there for a couple of minutes and finally a girl with long black straight hair and auburn eyes appeared. A man followed her with all of Sakura's things.
"Ok, Sakura, shall we go?" she said. "I'll show you your appartment where you'll be living for the next year and then we can go for breakfast" added, with a smile. Sakura smiled too.
"Sure. And, about this appartment..." she started.
"Don't worry, has all the furniture, TV, telephone, a computer, Internet connection, radio, everything. It's really near to the university, so you'll be living right next to me. They take care of everything" ended the girl with a smile.
"Thanks, Kim" said Sakura. The two girls got into a cab and went to the big apartment's building to leave Sakura's stuff. After that, both girls left to a coffee shop near to the building. It was now 10:30 am in Sydney, so the girls took a coffee and the rest of the day Kim decided to show Sakura around.
"So, what do you think of Sydney so far?" asked the girl, taking a sip of her coffee.
"It's beautiful, I can't wait to go and see everything around" said Sakura, with a big smile.
"You'll love it. The university is really cool too" said Kim. She saw that Sakura had her sight lost somewhere. "Are you ok?" asked.
"No, I'm fine" said Sakura, but her mind screamed something else. 'Why did you leave him?' 'No, probably he's already in his honeymoon' said another part of her head. Unfortunately, Sakura forgot that she had a girl in front of her, and girls have a sixth sense that can't be ignored.
"I know that face" said Kim, drinking more of her coffee. "It's about a boy, right?". Sakura looked at her with a look that said "How did you knew?", but Kim answered before she could say anything. "I'm a girl too, you just know those things. So tell me, is it bad?" asked. Sakura sighed.
"Really bad" she said. "It started when my big brother pasted away..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another phone started to ring somewhere...
"Hello?"
"Eriol?"
"Yeah, who is this?" he asked.
"It's Syaoran" he said.
"Hi, Syaoran. Are you there?" asked Eriol.
"Yeah, I just got here. I woke you up, didn't I?" said Syaoran.
"It's 5:45 in the morning, of course you woke me up" said Eriol, and he sounded so pissed off that Syaoran couldn't help but laugh. "Shut up, man, it's not funny. What time is it there?" he asked, sitting in the bed.
"It's like 11:30 or something. Listen, I gotta go, I'll call you later to tell you how it went, ok?" said Syaoran.
"Ok, but call at a decent time, please" said Eriol, and Syaoran laughed again.
"I will. Say hello to Tomoyo for me, would you?" he asked.
"Yeah, don't worry. Bye".
"Bye" he heard before the dial tone started to sound. He left the phone in the night table and went back to sleep. Then he heard someone whisper.
"Who was that?".
"It was Syaoran, he just got there. He said hello" said Eriol, hugging the girl next to him. She turned around to face him.
"I hope everything works out" she said, closing her eyes once again. Eriol kissed her lightly on the lips, and she returned it.
"Remind me to call Sakura later" she said.
"I will. Go back to sleep, Tomoyo" he said, before they went back to sleep together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Sakura ended the story and Kim had commented everything, they had drinked a couple of cups of coffee each one and was 11:30. The girls left the coffee shop.
"We will have to go touring later, I have to take care of a few things at the university" said Kim. "I will show you where it is and then you'll see by yourself how near your apartment is" said, while they were crossing the street. They walked a block or two and finally Kim stopped. "Look, there's where you are studying since this Monday" she said. "And there's our building" she said, showing to Sakura. It was really near. "I'll be home at 4:00 or earlier, so we can go and I'll show you around, ok?". Sakura nodded.
"I'll see you later" said Sakura when Kim walked away. She started to walk towards the building but came to a halt when she saw him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Syaoran stepped down from the cab that had drove him there. He started to walk, looking for the address that Tomoyo had given him. He was about to cross the street but stopped when he felt that someone was watching him. He ignored the feeling and crossed the street.
Sakura got so shocked that rubbed her eyes, but when she opened them again he wasn't there. She was so sure that it was Syaoran, it was just like him. 'Think about it, Sakura, do you think he would be here? His honeymoon is today, what are you thinking about?' her mind told her. "But..." she said. "It was him, I know it" she said. She crossed the street and started to look everywhere for him, she even entered her building.
"I'm sorry, did someone entered the building? A guy with messy chestnut hair, brown eyes..." she asked to a person that was there.
"No, I haven't" said the man. Sakura walked away. 'Maybe you just thought you saw him' she thought. Decepointed, she walked out of the building. To stop thinking about it, she started to walk in that avenue, to see what was around.
At the same time, someone was entering her apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomoyo walked with her suitcase in her hand. Eriol took it when she got to the car.
"Are you ready?" he asked. Tomoyo nodded, and was about to enter the car when Kathy came out too and saw her.
"Where are you going?" she asked, and Tomoyo nodded to Eriol, to make him enter the car.
"I'm going to Tomoeda, I'm moving there" she said. Kathy sighed.
"That's better for me. Could you do me a favor? Please tell that loser that someday he's going to regret for dumping me there" she said before walking away.
"I think that's the best choice he has ever made" said Tomoyo, and Kathy turned around. "He's going to meet the woman he truly loves right now" said, and Kathy couldn't hide her anger, because she knew that Tomoyo was talking about Sakura
"Love? Please, don't make me laugh. And even though, they are cousins, right?" said Kathy, but since Tomoyo didn't answered, Kathy's smile dissapeared.
"Goodbye, sister" said Tomoyo before entering the car. Kathy stood there watching the car go away, and even after, she stood there, not believing what Tomoyo had made her believe. 'Does that mean that he's with her now?' she thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura got out of the elevator and walked to her apartment. She was tired, because she had walk a long way and then she had to come back. She opened the door to her apartment and walked in. Nothing was out of place in there. She walked to her bedroom and fell in the bed. She closed her eyes and stayed there for a moment before standing up and walking to her balcony. It was really small, but was looking towards the beach and had a beautiful view. She stayed there, taking deep breaths of the sea breeze. Suddenly she felt a noise. She turned around to her room and since she didn't saw anything she walked in again. She felt that someone was watching her, so she walked to the living room, looked around and gasped at the image the TV was showing.
"Um... hi, Sakura. I know you maybe surprised, but I need to tell you something". Sakura sitted down in the couch, she didn't understood how could it be that she was watching Syaoran in the TV. "I always believed that there was someone out there for me. But I was so tired of always searching and get decepointed that I gave up. That's why I proposed to Kathy, I didn't wanted to go from one girl to another girl. I thought she was the one, but now I know that she wasn't". Sakura tried to control her sobs and the tears from coming out of her eyes. "From the other part, when I left you, when you were sixteen, I felt like a part of me was missing. I know it sounds corny and stuff, but it's true. *sighs* But I don't know how, somewhere, in a hidden place in my soul I knew you were the one for me. I knew you were my cousin, but I also knew that no one else could make me feel the way you made me feel. This is weird, I've never said anything like this to any girl". Sakura laughed hearing him say this. Her heart was beating really fast, but she had a feeling that there was something else behind this. "You are the only person that had made me say things like this. I forgot to tell you something important... I didn't marry Kathy. Tomoyo told me everything". In that moment Sakura started to wonder how the hell that video had arrived to her apartment before she did. "And she's the one that convinced me of coming for you. Sakura, I'm sorry. I'm sorry because I could've stop in time and I didn't, and I let you go and I made you suffer. And I did too, because... because I love you, more than anything else, and I couldn't bear being without you, so...". In that moment the camera made a turn and Sakura saw herself sitting in the couch, and then the screen went blue. Sakura had tears running down her cheeks, but that didn't made her get surprised any less when she saw herself. Slowly she turned around and saw that Syaoran was slowly putting the camera down.
"Hi" was all he said.
"Hi" she answered. "I... I don't know...".
"Don't say anything" he said, walking to her and putting a finger on her lips to stop her from talking. "I already said everything, but still... I'm sorry, Sakura, I'm sorry" he whispered. Some tears started to run down Sakura's cheeks and he wiped them away with his hand. Sakura closed her eyes and started to breathe heavily, trying to stop crying. Syaoran stood there, but he couldn't help to start to move closer to her... and closer... and closer... until their lips touched.
Sakura got surprised for the sudden move, but she didn't refused, instead she kissed him back in a hungry kiss, that the two of them had wanted for a long time, and now they had it. Syaoran placed his hands on her waist, pulling her closer and she placed hers in his neck. She parted her lips, deepening the kiss, but they started to feel the lack of air, so they parted and stood there. Sakura stayed with her eyes closed, taking deep breaths, because she couldn't believe what had just happened. When she opened them, she faced his amber eyes, that he couldn't keep to himself, because she looked beautiful.
"I love you" she whispered. He smiled.
"I love you too" he said. She smiled back.
"But, Syaoran... are you coming back to Japan?" she asked.
"Only if you come with me" he said.
"But I'm staying here for a year, I don't wanna leave" said Sakura, surprised.
"Then you'll have to make me some room, 'cause I'm not leaving you again" said Syaoran. Sakura smiled again and kissed him. He kissed her back too.
After all the time they had been apart, Sakura had felt that he was important in her life. And now she had the proof, because somewhere, in a hidden place, she knew that they were meant to be.

THE END
Ok, I know that the last lines sucked, but I tried my best! Once again, I want to thank everyone for your support, which is very important to me. I want to apologize for my grammar and my spelling, that are awful, I try my best, so if I have any mistakes, please tell me. I hope you liked this chapter and the story in general. I have another story currently in ff.net, it's called "Waiting for an angel", and I personally think is really good. You can flame me if you want about it, I deserve it!. What else... yeah, well, the story takes place in the U.S, where Sakura and Syaoran are attending to UCLA. I can't tell a lot, but it's basically about how the ones we love are always there for and with us, no matter how impossible it seems to be. I suggest you read it. (Only if you want to, of course, I'm not forcing you). Thank you very much, one more time and I'll see you around!!

"I love you" she whispered. He smiled.
"I love you too" he said. She smiled back.
"But, Syaoran... are you coming back to Japan?" she asked.
"Only if you come with me" he said.
"But I'm staying here for a year, I don't wanna leave" said Sakura, surprised.
"Then you'll have to make me some room, 'cause I'm not leaving you again" said Syaoran. Sakura smiled again and kissed him. He kissed her back too.
After all the time they had been apart, Sakura had felt that he was important in her life. And now she had the proof, because somewhere, in a hidden place, she knew that they were meant to be.

THE END
Ok, I know that the last lines sucked, but I tried my best! Once again, I want to thank everyone for your support, which is very important to me. I want to apologize for my grammar and my spelling, that are awful, I try my best, so if I have any mistakes, please tell me. I hope you liked this chapter and the story in general. I have another story currently in ff.net, it's called "Waiting for an angel", and I personally think is really good. You can flame me if you want about it, I deserve it!. What else... yeah, well, the story takes place in the U.S, where Sakura and Syaoran are attending to UCLA. I can't tell a lot, but it's basically about how the ones we love are always there for and with us, no matter how impossible it seems to be. I suggest you read it. (Only if you want to, of course, I'm not forcing you). Thank you very much, one more time and I'll see you around!!
