Chapter Twenty Three: Set in Place
"There you are..." Ying Fa chirped happily, "I told you two not to run off!" Xiao Lang was standing beside her, a slight grin was plastered on his face and their hands were locked together,
Sakura stared curiously at the figures before her, 'Is this how everything is going to be in like five years from now?' she wondered.
Hikaru and Xiao Long's heads both bowed to the ground, guilt was written all over their faces. "Sorry..." they both mumbled in unison.
"It's okay..." Sakura piped in, patting their heads and ruffling their hair, "They didn't do anything wrong."
The twins giggled happily and smiled at her.
Kero muttered something under his breath from the tight grip that Hikaru was holding him under.
Syaoran was standing there, a tint of red still raw on his face as he fumbled with the bear that he had dropped from out of no where. Something kept bothering him as he squeezed the bear tight. "This bear..." he whispered faintly.
Six pairs of eyes blinked at him.
"You into bears now?" Xiao Lang teased.
"No..." Syaoran shot back immediately, shooting a glare at his older mirror image. "It's just that this bear is... well..." he mumbled, trying to find the right word.
"Enchanted?" Xiao Long offered, his innocent emerald eyes blinked at him a few times. He was wearing the exact same outfit that his father was wearing, expect of course, it was much smaller, way better suited for his size.
"Yea..." Syaoran muttered, then realizing something, "Hey... How do you know?"
"Because it was his idea!" Hikaru squeaked, she tugged on her pink dress and gave Syaoran a wide smile.
"What?" Syaoran and Sakura both shrieked in unison.
Xiao Lang chuckled, "Did you ever stop and ever think why Xiao Long and Hikaru came to your time?"
Both Syaoran and Sakura fell silent and went into deep thought.
"Tomoyo was right," Ying Fa giggled, "You two are really clueless."
Syaoran scratched the back of his head, "Then why?" he asked, his tone sounding a bit irritated.
"To help you two find each other." Ying Fa told them simply.
Sakura let the words sink in slowly, "What do you mean?"
"Well you see, Syaoran was easily manipulated by Mizumi and Faye. His memory was erased, as you probably know, Syaoran." Xiao Lang explained.
Syaoran nodded for him to continue.
"In order to set destiny back into its place, we had to find a solution to one of the problems." Xiao Lang chuckled, "Eriol had suggested sending Xiao Long and Hikaru to your time, since they were so good at setting up a few people." His grin became wider as he remembered the time Hikaru and Xiao Long had forced Ying and himself to make up after an intense arguement. 'If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't still be together.' he thought, smiling at his children.
"So that's why I felt some strong magical presence when I was holding the bear..." Sakura observed aloud, finally putting each piece together, "And why you wanted me to live at Syaoran's place so badly... Instead of moving into Tomoyo's..."
Syaoran's mind seemed to reel into deep thought, "But all the training that I had, how did Mizumi and Faye manage to control me so easily?" He shook his head in disgust as he remembered the sword high in the air, right before it was about to slice through Sakura. He raised his hand and clenched tightly.
Sakura stared at him, her eyes filling with worry, 'He's never going to forgive himself...' she thought in her mind. She placed her hand over top of his shaking fist and smiled, "It's alright..." she smiled warmly at him.
Syaoran's tense body seemed to relax, "So, I guess I need to thank, you two." he smiled at the twins, "If it weren't for you, I don't know how my life would even turn out."
"Bah!" Kero pouted, "I knew I should've done something to these two when I had a chance."
"Your welcome!" the twins chirped happily together. Hikaru jumped off of the ground, her grip tighten around Kero, causing him to choke.
Sounds of laughter echoed through Eriol's backyard, everything seemed to be in complete harmony.
~*~
After returning inside Eriol's mansion, everyone surrounded Sakura and Syaoran.
"Took you long enough!" Tomoyo grinned.
"I was about to punch both of you, if you didn't get together after this!" Meilin frowned teasingly.
Everyone had settled into the exact same place as before, except this time, Sakura and Syaoran were beside one another, playing with each other's hand shyly. Their face turned redder and redder each time they caught someone staring at them.
The room suddenly went silent.
"Mother, why was I sent here?" Syaoran wondered, putting two pieces together. He didn't really have to capture any cards of sort... but it was a good thing that he did come here. 'I would have never met Sakura again...' he repeated for the fifth time in his mind.
"I thought you would've have figured it out by now..." his mother smiled, "A plan was set to get destiny back into place awhile ago."
"Eriol, you knew about this?" Sakura asked.
Eriol nodded, "I was the last to know."
"I didn't want to tell Eriol until it was needed, I was afraid that if he knew the plan wouldn't work." the older Eriol spoke up.
"I knew about everything when I was needed to open the gates of time."
~*~
After long conversations, everyone was back outside in Eriol's backyard. This time not to talk, but to say goodbye.
"Good luck to all of you." Yelan said to the happy family.
"Take care of Hitomi when she comes." the older Eriol told both Eriol and Tomoyo who were standing close to one another.
Eriol nodded, "I will." smiling warmly at his love.
"Now I have twice as many things to record!" Tomoyo squealed happily, causing everyone there to sweatdrop.
"Good luck!" Meilin said cheerfully, giving Ying Fa a tight hug. Meilin seemed perfectly happy on the outside, with the evil threat finally being defeated, she could breathe easier, but something inside her felt jealous. Everytime she looked at Eriol and Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran she envied the happiness that they shared. It seemed as if she never really belonged.
"Don't worry..." Ying Fa's reassuring voice whispered in her ear, "You'll find him... Quite soon actually.
"Thanks..." Meilin mumbled back, hearing that made her spirits lift even higher.
"I'm going to miss you two." Sakura sniffled as she hugged the twins that she had fallen in love with. She bent down and gave each of them a hug. She kissed Xiao Long on the forehead, giving him a quiet thank you.
As she turned to Hikaru, the small little girl spoke happily, "You'll see us soon!" She had been holding onto Kero for the last few hours, Kero had not uttered one word, only his expression changed frequently.
Sakura gave her a lopsided grin, "I just hope you aren't both as much trouble..."
Ying Fa and Xiao Lang both stood behind the twins, who were also saying their goodbyes, turned around. Both had heard the small talk that the three were having.
"Oh, they are a lot of trouble..." Ying Fa frowned slightly, "They just had to get Xiao Lang's agressive side." She brushed a strand of honey colored hair to the side and smiled.
Syaoran laughed and took Sakura in his arms, "That's still a long way from now you know."
"It's time..." the older Eriol interrupped, "Tomoyo, Meilin and Yelan is waiting for us on the other side."
The older Eriol, Ying Fa, Xiao Lang and the twins stood in a circle, everyone else had moved a slight distance away from the small group. Suddenly the sky turned a pale purple, and then a large spiral blue cloud appeared high up in the sky. They all smiled and waved at the group standing back near Eriol's mansion.
"Goodbyee!!" Hikaru squeaked happily, finally letting go of Kero, as they neared the blue cloud.
Sakura waved back, her hand locked with Syaoran's and she smiled widely. 'I'll see you again...' she thought happily.
"Destiny has finally been replaced, now the line of time will flow its course, as how it was supposed to be..." Eriol spoke his final wise speech of the day.
And so, the tainted destiny that had been created by Apsu, a scorned soul, has been fix. Just like Eriol said, 'It will flow its course, as how it is suppose to be'... OR IS IT?? Life is always full of unexpected turns and twists...
