Everlasting Story
Chapter 11. Two weeks after
It had been two weeks since the fight in Akihabara. No one knew what had happened to Sakura's heart, not even Sakura herself. She would sit on her bed each night and stare out her window, as if waiting for something... or someone. No tears ever came out, and her heart felt empty.
Two days after Syaoran's death, after everyone recovered, after everyone dried up their tears, Tomoyo had asked Sakura how she was feeling, which was merely translated into, how did his death make you feel. Sakura's eyes, then, turned into its empty state and said slowly, "I don't know. Is this how it feels to have your heart broken? I don't know." Tomoyo burst into tears afterwards.
In the following week and five days, Sakura stayed in her room, staring out of her window. She had attempted to go to school one day, and got herself a chat with the principal at lunch, about answering teachers' calls of attention and about seeing a doctor for her depression. She asked to go to the washroom, and instead of walking into the bathroom, she walked out of the school instead, and had absentmindedly strolled into the park. Her eyes widened the slightest bit when she found herself under the penguin slide.
Sakura woke up at 7 on the fourteenth day after the battle. She could feel it. There was something about today that made her whole body tingle with pleasure. It was also the day of Syaoran's birth, but that didn't make her depressed in any way, instead she felt excited and ecstatic. She decided that today would be the day to break out of her reverie and enjoy life like a normal teenager again. She could never lived on with the dull, wooden expression anyways.

Touya yawned and stretched as he walked into the kitchen that same morning.
"Morning dad, morning kaijuu, I'll bring up Sakura's breakfast today," he said sleepily, sitting down at the table, half asleep.
"Don't call me a kaijuu! Anyway, I made breakfast for the men of the family today. Too bad only dad gets to try it. I'm kidding, here."
"Gee, dad, I miss our old Sakura so much that I can hear her voice in my head..." Touya muttered. "OW!" he suddenly shouted, now fully awake. "SAKURA!" A giggle. "What are you doing here?!"
"I like here, silly!" Sakura said. "Now hurry up and eat, we're going to be late."
Touya started stuffing food in his mouth, and snuck a glance at his father. He was grinning like a maniac today, and was laughing at the least funniest of things.
Touya sat back in his chair with a satisfied groan. The meal was delicious, Sakura was back to normal, and-
I'll go to school first, bye!" The door slammed shut.
And everything was absolutely-
"Touya, you're going to be late," Fujitaka said sipping his coffee."
"OH SHIT!" The door slammed shut for the second time that day.

Sakura happily rollerbladed down the rows of cherry blossom trees. She could feel it giving off a pink aura, much like her own, and as she passed them, she felt each one giving her energy.
"Sakura!"
She looked up and saw Tomoyo waving at her. Racing over, she smiled at her. "Morning, Tomoyo-chan, what's up?"
Tomoyo was grinning widely, and said or squealed, "I knew you were gonna come back today, Sakura-chan! There's a good sight to seem come on!" She grabbed Sakura's padded hand and pulled.
"N-no! Tomoyo-chan, don't-"
Sakura was cut off as Tomoyo started running in a direction, pulling Sakura along with her. They landed on the hard pavement as Sakura was wheeled with faster speed due to her rollerblades.
"Ow, sorry about that, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said, getting up.
"Nah, it's nothing," Sakura said. She saw a hand pop into her vision, and then heard an oddly familiar voice.
"Need help?" It was too familiar.
"Syaoran!!!" Sakura screeched, her head shooting up.
"I'm glad you didn't scream Eriol's name," Li Syaoran said with a smirk. "Well, why're you still on the ground, Sakura?"
Sakura leapt up as her eyes filled with tears. They were the tears that wouldn't come during Syaoran's absence and were now overflowing with happiness and love. There was a moment of silence at which Syaoran and Sakura were staring at each other.
"Y-you came back..." whispered Sakura as soon as she found her voice. The tears were still coming, and her voice was trembling.
"To be with you again," Syaoran said taking Sakura in a sweet kiss.
Tomoyo watched the scene with tears from her own eyes. She thought the thoughts that everyone was thinking. 'Everything is absolutely perfect.'
