Goodbye Sakura, Goodbye

A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed! Sorry about the last chapter! I didn't want my story to be where Naru turned good and stay that way until the end of the story. Oh, and please don't hate me for this last chapter in "Too Late to Say I Love"!

~*~

"Sakura! Sakura!" Kero yelled.

"Come on! Do something, so we'll know that you're still alive!" Syaoran began to shake Sakura.

"I'll go and call Tomoyo," Kero flew upstairs to call Tomoyo from Sakura's phone.

"Come on! Sakura!" Syaoran glared at Naru, making her shake with fear.

Syaoran was about to give Naru a piece of his anger when he heard Sakura said something. He looked at Sakura and saw that her eyes weren't full of brightness like they were before. Sakura said something once more, but Syaoran couldn't heard what she said, so he pulled Sakura into a sitting postion and placed his ear above her mouth.

"P-please, d-d-don't h-h-hurt her," Sakura begged.

"But-"

"P-p-please, f-f-for me," Sakura cutted Syaoran off.

Syaoran looked into Sakura eyes and nodded his head. Sakura gave Syaoran a weak smile.

"P-p-please t-tell m-my f-f-family, T-T-Tomoyo, K-K-Kero, Y-Yuikito, a-a-and Y-Y-Yue t-that I l-l-love them v-v-very m-m-much and that I'll b-be w-watching t-them f-f-from a-a-above," Sakura told Syaoran.

"Don't talk like that! You'll make it through, just like you did when you were in the hospital!" Tears began to form in Syaoran's eyes, and just this once will he let his tears out.

"I k-k-know that I w-won't m-m-make it," Sakura said as she tried to take in a big air of breath.

"But-"

"No o-one l-lives f-f-forever, S-S-Syaoran," Sakura stated.

Syaoran looked at his only love, taking in the image that was before him. Knowing that he might not see her lovely face again, nor her sweet, caring voice. He'll always remember her, knowing that death will be the only person to see her before she leaves this world. He didn't want to let her go, but he knew that her time was coming soon and he wanted to tell and ask her something, before it was too late.

"S-S-Syaoran, I-I l-l-love y-y-you," Syaoran wanted to tell Sakura the same words, but it was too late. Sakura dropped to the floor, dead. Syaoran, not knowing what to do, cried. Kero came down when he heard Syaoran cry, when Kero saw Sakura on the floor, Kero began to cry over his mistress's real death. No matter what, the two of them will be sure that Naru will regret coming to Japan.

Syaoran, not wanting Sakura to go to heaven with a knife through her chest, pulled the knife out of Sakura's chest. Kero thanked him quietly as he waited for everyone to come. Once the knife was pulled out of Sakura's chest, all the Sakura's Card appeared in front of Syaoran. Syaoran was confused by this. Does she want me to be the new master of the cards? Syaoran asked himself. The cards neatly piled in front of Syaoran, one by one Sakura's signature was erased and Syaoran's name was on it. By the time all the cards had Syaoran's name on it, everyone came.

Everyone rushed over to Sakura, and once they found out that Sakura was dead, they began to cry. Eriol saw the cards in front of Syaoran and gave him a small smile.

"Syaoran, you're now the new master of the cards," Eriol said loudly. Everyone turned and look at Syaoran. Kero and Yue bowed to their new master. Kero, even though he didn't want to do this, knew, somehow, that Sakura would want him to treat Syaoran the way he had treated her. Kero made a promise to himself that he won't fight with his new master, unless it was urgent.

Syaoran tried to tell everyone what Sakura had asked him to tell, but no sound came out of his mouth. He tried again and said, "Sakura said that she loves all of you and that she'll be watching over you." Everyone nodded their head.



The next day, it was hard for everyone, except for Naru, they had all hoped that it was just a nightmare and it wasn't real, but it was. Kero and Syaoran told everyone about Sakua's death. After Mei Ling and Touya heard it, they both wanted to get a piece of Naru. Mei Ling quickly threw all Naru things out of her apartment and brought a boat ticket for her to go back to Hong Kong. Mei Ling wanted to kick Naru, since Naru had the nerve to say that she's still wed to Syaoran. Touya, wasn't like Mei Ling when he saw her, he threated Naru that if she ever lands a foot in Japan once more, she'll be dead. When Naru heard Touya's threat, she quickly ran off to go back home.

Syaoran phoned his mother, telling her what had happened. Once Syaoran finished talking to his mother, he looked at all the photos and things he has to remember Sakura. Two full photo albums of him and Sakura together; the locket; a box full of things that they had built together, covered in dried cherry blossom petals; a pink teddy bear and a green one; and last of all, a wedding ring. He had planned to ask Sakura's hand in marriage that night when Sakura died. He wanted them to be together, forever, but no they couldn't. Syaoran was too late to say three words that he wanted to say when he knew that his Sakura was dying. Too late to ask her hand in marriage. Too late.

Syaoran wished that he had stayed in Japan after Sakura captured the Hope Card, but he didn't. Instead, he left her alone and who would have guessed that his Sakura would die so young? Who would have guessed that meeting Naru would change his life forever? Who have guessed that jealously could have gone so far to killing someone? Who would have guess? All Syaoran wanted was for his cherry blossom to be back with him. Just when he thought he had her, he had lost her to death.

Syaoran knew what he was going to do at Sakura's funeral the next day. After a few memories flooding Syaoran's mind, he crawed into bed, crying himself to sleep, just knowing that he had lost someone important to him and nobody will ever replace her, EVER.



On the day of Sakura's funeral, the weather suited to what everyone was feeling. The rain for their tears, and the dark grey skies for what they were feeling. No one wanted to say goodbye to their dear Sakura, but they all had to. Everyone was surprised to see Syaoran's mother and sisters at Sakura's funeral. Just before they closed Sakura's coffin, Syaoran quietly walked up and slipped the wedding ring on her ring finger and set three flowers, one for birth, one for death, and the last one for rebirth. Syaoran hoped that just one day that his Sakura will return to him and then they'll be together, forever.

After they had burried Sakura, everyone left, except for Syaoran. Syaoran stayed behind, wanting to spend sometime with Sakura before he has to go back to Hong Kong, where Kero and Yue will be with him untill he dies as well.

"Sakura, I love you and I always will. No matter what, I'll never forget you. You'll always be in my heart," Syaoran whispered. At the moment Syaoran had finished his sentence, it stopped rainning and the dark grey sky disappeared, revealing a rainbow. Syaoran looked at the rainbow, knowing that it was a sign from Sakura. Syaoran was suprised that the colors of the rainbow told many the stories of his life.

His love for Sakura was red, recovering from Sakura's death would be orange, remembering all the happy times he had with Sakura would best be yellow, how he envy her for capturing the Clow Cards that he had wanted would be green, the times he was feeling down was blue, and last but no least, purple, the color of sadness and will be with him all the way.

Syaoran took a last look at Sakura's grave before leaving, not knowing when he'll return, but knowing that the first thing he'll do when he come back is to visit Sakura. With that thought in mind, Syaoran stood up and as he was walking away from Sakura's grave, he tossed a sakura and a red rose over his shoulders. He didn't see that a faint outline of Sakura caught the flowers in her hands and smiled at Syaoran. As Syaoran started to grow smaller in the distance, Sakura disappeared in a flash of pink light, and all that was left was a pile of sakura petals. The wind came in a dispense the petals everywhere, letting the whole world know that wasting time is a waste of time.



The End.
