Ok First off I have a question… has anyone read a story about Sakura being like a princess and than her kingdom is destroyed or something by an evil king who than takes her in as a slave or to be his future wife. In this kingdom she meets Syaoran who is king's brother I believe and he doesn't really wanna take over the world and whatnot. He and Sakura fall in love but since the king is going to marry her they can't be in love. Syaoran is sent off somewhere… I think it had to do with the elders or something… and he decides to bring Sakura with him making him break the law…. I think before he broke Sakura out he was to be executed because he defended Sakura for something… than his other brother who he was more close to traded places with him and took his execution for him…. *blinks* ok I probably just confused you all…. But I have been searching for this story for a while and can't find it… so I beg you guys!!! *sobs* does anyone know the name?!?!?!... *Sighs* now onto the real authors note's lol

"Live each day as if it were your last, because one day it will be."

"Cancer?" Tomoyo asked her heart clutching in her chest. She wiped her eyes harshly trying to keep the tears that demanded escape away. She had just lost her boyfriend and now this; she didn't know how much more she could take. Plus the fact that Syaoran and Sakura just found each other after, it just wasn't fair. What did any of them do to deserve this? "There there must be some mistake Sakura…." Tomoyo stuttered trying to make sense of the whole situation, how could this be happening to her best friend, the only person in the world she had left to count on. This couldn't be real, it just couldn't.
"You can't have cancer!" Kero stated angrily. He fluttered back and fourth between the girls fuming silently. This wasn't suppose to happen, the clow mistress wasn't suppose to die this early, and certainly not by means of some disease. There just HAD to be a mistake.
"Did you get a second opinion? Are you sure? This can't be true!" Kero questioned crossing his tiny arms.
"It's true." Sakura answered quietly. They had no idea how much it hurt to give them this information, she knew it would hurt both of them, yet it had to be done. She knew that much.
"We have to do something than… magic or something there has to be something!" Kero continued.
"You can't fix this with magic Kero… I'm sorry." Sakura replied.
"This shouldn't be happening to you… not you." Tomoyo cried.
"Oh Tomoyo…" Sakura whispered wiping the lone tear away from her cheek that had managed to escape. Sakura wrapped her arms around her best friend in comfort. Tomoyo buried her head in Sakura's shoulder letting a few tears flow down her cheeks. After a few minutes Tomoyo calmed down and sat back staring at Sakura.
"There's a cure?" She asked hopefully dreading the answer.
"There's a surgery I'm going to have….." Sakura paused before she continued, "There's no guarantee it will work, the doctors are hopeful, but they have to be." Sakura answered truthfully. She could never and did not want to lie to her best friend. She didn't want to give her any false hope that would hurt even more.
Kero decided the two probably wanted some alone time to talk, so he left and laid down on the bed. He curled up into a little ball letting sobs wrack his body. He hadn't wanted to upset Sakura so he had just let out his anger instead of his complete despair. He didn't want to lose Sakura; he had already lost so many people. When Clow reed died he had been devastated and now he was about to lose another master. Due to Sakura's brother dying Kero had also lost the closest thing he had left to a brother, Yue. Kero lifted up his head scratching his ear lightly; he silently wondered how the Chinese gaki was taking the news. He was certain that the kid was taking it much worse than himself, they all loved Sakura yet that gaki was her soul mate, he must be dying inside. Kero knew he wouldn't show much of his pain to Sakura in hopes of not stressing her anymore. He also knew that the gaki would probably just suffer alone, which was certainly not good for his health. Kero sighed lightly deciding he would go see if Syaoran was ok, strictly for Sakura's sake of course, or at least that's what he told himself.
The full moon was shining brightly, the stars lining the dark sky. Not a cloud was in sight, at least physically. Syaoran couldn't help but feel his whole body was clouded. His mind felt numb nightmares plaguing his fully alert mind. He sighed heavily throwing a small rock across the water; it skimmed four times before sinking to the bottom of the lake like his heart. His tears had already long ago dried up, the trails still evident on his cheeks. Sakura had asked if she could talk to Tomoyo alone and he had briskly obliged the request. He had needed sometime alone to go through his thoughts. He didn't want to break down again infront of Sakura; she had enough on her plate than to deal with him. Syaoran couldn't help but feel he was being cheated, he had just found his soul mate only for her to be taken away. He wondered what horrible deed he had committed in a past life which apparently merited him to suffer in his present. The wind suddenly picked up a bit sending more violent shivers up his spine.
"At this rate you'll catch a cold kid." Kero stated simply fluttering next to Syaoran. Syaoran spared a brief glance to the card guardian before returning his gaze to the open dark void of the sky. Kero studied Syaoran's features taking note to the dried tear tracks and the redden cheeks that had replaced the brave annoying kid he had challenged day after day. Neither of the two spoke for quite a while both wrapped up in their own worrying thoughts.
"She'll be ok…" Kero whispered softly after a while, "She's strong… she's lasted so much." Syaoran didn't reply right away, after all he knew Sakura was the strangest person he had ever met, and had been saying the very same thing to himself for the past hour.
"There's only so much a human can take." He replied back. Kero looked at the gaki in surprise seeing the despair and loss of hope in his glistened brown eyes.
"So what you are giving up on her? Signing her death warrant?... Well you may be able to do that but I can't, not now, not every!" Kero answered his voice rising with anger, not necessary at Syaoran, but at the whole situation. He hated the human race for not coming up with a cure for this blasted disease, hated it because there was a chance that his mistress would be stolen away from him forever.
Syaoran sighed lightly going over Kero's words, he was right and he knew it. He couldn't give up on Sakura now, if he gave up than there was no chance at all, and a little chance is better than no chance.
"Your right…" Syaoran replied softly rubbing at his redden face. Kero chuckled a bit shaking his head lightly as Syaoran gazed at him questionable.
"You know kid I think that's the first time you have ever said that to me" To that Syaoran himself cracked a small smile before replying.
"That's because this is the only time you have been right, so don't get use to it." Syaoran rubbed his arms trying to warm them up suddenly becoming aware of the cold.
"I'll get you back for that snide remark some other time, for now I was serious before your going to catch a cold and get sick, than what good are you to Sakura?" Kero stated matter of factly. Syaoran nodded pulling himself of the ground.
"Than I suppose we should head back." Syaoran started heading home with the flying guardian close to his back. He stared at the sky while walking a new sense of hope inside him, he caught a glimpse of a streak going across the sky, a shooting star, and he made a wish putting all his heart into that longing wish, he didn't care the cost, he just wanted that wish granted.
Sakura looked up as she heard the door slowly creak open. A cold drift of air flowed into the room sending shivers up Sakura's back. Syaoran stood in the doorway a minute just glancing at his love. Sakura gestured for him to come in, but quietly. Tomoyo's head was in her lap as she stroked the long gorgeous locks that flowed slickly down her back. Tomoyo had long ago cried herself to sleep much to Sakura's dismay. She hadn't wanted to give Tomoyo such pain, but there was nothing she could do. After Kero fluttered into the room opting to go to bed for tonight Syaoran silently closed the door. He than walked over to stand behind Sakura bending down to kiss her temple. Sakura sighed happily lifting one of her hands to stroke Syaoran's neck.
"I love you so much." Syaoran whispered into her ear playing with a honey brown strand of hair. Sakura purred softly loving the feel of Syaoran's touch, even if the surgery didn't go well, she would die happy. She had gotten to see Syaoran again, and that had truly only been her last wish. Of course she wished they had more time together, but she was grateful for just this moment.
Sakura carefully slipped out from underneath Tomoyo softly kissing her cheek goodnight. She pulled the blanket up close around Tomoyo's shoulders in attempt to keep her warm.
"Let's go into the bedroom." Sakura whispered as Syaoran wrapped his arms around her waist. The two headed into their small bedroom and sat silently on the bed. Syaoran ran his fingertips gentle against Sakura's arm sending slight chills through her.
"Syaoran…?" Sakura started looking anywhere but at her love that sat next to her. Syaoran gazed lovely at her before answering squeezing her arm lightly to let her know he was there for her always.
"What is it?" He asked softly knowing that she was troubled. There was a long pause before she continued searching the floor intensely as if it held all the answers to the world. She suddenly moved her gaze to Syaoran staring straight into his love glazed eyes.
"If… If this surgery doesn't work…" Sakura started but was interrupted.
"It will work Sakura… it will."
"Shhh… let me finish…" She softly ran her hand along his cheek memorizing it with all her heart. If she left this world she wanted to leave it knowing every inch of Syaoran.
"If it doesn't work… Promise me… Promise me you will go on Syaoran." Sakura stated tears falling down her cheeks. Syaoran hadn't expected her to ask him this he turned his gaze away not wanting to upset her, but not knowing if he could promise such a thing. Sure he had lived years without her… but he had forgotten about her, he had had amnesia, now that he had his memory…. Well he couldn't image a life without her, nor did he want to. "Please Syaoran… I know it will hurt… but don't destroy yourself… Everything in this world has a reason for its happenings, no matter how unfair it may seem it has a reason even if we can't see it right now. Syaoran… if it so happens that I'm meant to go on, than I don't want you to follow me before it is your time to, please Syaoran can you promise me this? Promise me you will live on and be happy. Someday you may find another, and if you do than don't hesitate to grasp that chance at happiness because of any depth to me, because all I've ever wanted was your happiness. God Syaoran I love you so much." Syaoran let a few tears escape his eyes before wiping at his eyes.
"There will never be another Sakura." He stated softly running a warm hand along her cheek. "You have always been everything to me, even when I couldn't remember I knew you were missing, god Sakura how can I go on without you. How can I go on without my heart, without my soul?" Syaoran whispered his voice hoarse from the tears. Sakura bent over their lips intertwining into one. They poured their hearts out into that kiss each grasping the other like it would be their last. Sakura suddenly pulled away slightly hovering over Syaoran's lips.
"Please." She whispered wrapping her arms around his neck gazing deeply into his eyes. He nuzzled her nose lightly running a hand through her hair.
"I could never refuse you anything… I promise, but I will love you forever." Syaoran answered truthfully.
"And so shall I." Sakura replied bringing them into another kiss. This time it was more rushed than tender, the passion from both reaching out to wrap around the other. Syaoran gently laid Sakura back against the bed their lips never parting from each others. Hands ran over each others sensitive skin memorizing and rediscover every part of the other. "Syaoran make us one tonight…. forever" Sakura whispered into his ear sending soft shivers up both their bodies. And that night they did become one again heart, body, and soul. No matter what the outcome of the surgery was neither would forget this night; neither would forget the rare emotions that flowed through their very bodies. They belonged to each other and only each other, tonight and for the rest of time.
