I wish I'm right
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS unless you'll help me invade Clamp and make CCS ours… just joking!
A/n: Yipee! The last chapter! I think!
Sakura was looking at the two Syaoran's and said, "There is no difference between the two. How could I choose the right one?"

Other side of the field
"Darn! I wish I was in there," Eriol said.
"Just have faith in Sakura," Tomoyo suggested as she closed her eyes, "She'll choose the real one. She does love him."
Eriol looked at Tomoyo and said, "You're right. But I do hope she'll pick the right one."
Then a woman touched Tomoyo's shoulder. "Ms. Mizuki!" Tomoyo exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
Ms. Mizuki smiled and said, "I was worried about you. The play is already starting. By the way, where are Syaoran and Sakura?"
Eriol looked in front of them and said, "They're at the other side."
"What's happening here anyway?" Ms. Mizuki asked.
Eriol looked at Ms. Mizuki and said, "We shouldn't interfere with the plans of the Li clan."
"What he's trying to say is that," Tomoyo explained, "The Li clan is testing Sakura if she has a right to be a… um… Eriol, what did Mrs. Li told us?"
Eriol looked at Tomoyo and said, "That she told us that if she passes Syaoran will be her future airen."
"Um… Eriol, what is an airen?" Tomoyo asked.
"Airen is a Chinese word for…"
Tomoyo blinked and said, "WHAT! Is the Li Clan THAT serious?"
Eriol nodded and said, "They want a perfect life for Syaoran because he's the future leader of the Li Clan."
"I understand all of these," Ms. Mizuki said, "Then I'll make an excuse for the four of you."

Sakura's place
"Card Mistress, which Xiao-Lang do you choose," Yelan demanded.
Sakura couldn't decide which Syaoran is the real one. She closed her eyes and thinks very hard but suddenly a familiar voice speaks to her.
"Sakura, if you love me you'll choose the right one," the voice said.
"Syaoran, what if I choose the wrong one," Sakura replied.
"I have faith in you," Syaoran said, "and remember that the real Syaoran holds the symbol of my love to you."
"What symbol?" Sakura asked.
Nobody replied and Sakura opened her eyes. "The symbol of his love," Sakura mumbled, "What could that be?" Sakura examined the Syaoran's and she saw something strange on the Syaoran on the left. "Something's shining in his chest," Sakura said and a sweet voice said to her, "Mistress Sakura, just recall everything before he left Japan."
"Light card," Sakura said, "Arigato"
Then nobody replied and Sakura thought, "Before he left Japan…"
Flash Back
"Just because you passed the cardcaptor test doesn't mean we have to be nice to each other," Syaoran said.
"You're just scared of me, are you," I said in a teasing tune.
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"NO I'M NOT!" shouted Syaoran like the whole class would hear.
"Are you dreaming, Syaoran," Ms. Mizuki asked.
"No, sorry Ms. Mizuki," Syaoran said as he sat down and looked at me with a bigger flame of anger in his eyes.
I started to laugh and we didn't talk to each other the whole period.
"We did fight a lot back then. If it wasn't for the strange events happening we weren't able to be friends or able to love each other," Sakura thought.
"… The main characters will be," Naoko announced, "Sakura and Syaoran."
Everyone clapped except for…
"WHAT! A DUMB BOY WILL BE THE PRINCE!" I exclaimed.
"WHY! WHY AM I THE PRINCE OF THIS STUPID GIRL?!" Syaoran shouted.
"*giggle*we did freak out when we learned that we are the main characters but how did Syaoran able to love me anyway," Sakura thought
"Remember the time that the earthquake occurred?" a familiar voice said.
"Syaoran," Sakura said.
"That's the day I first called you by your name," Syaoran said.
"You called me dumb back then," Sakura replied.
"Then here's my flashback for you to remember," Syaoran said.
Many ghost appeared in front of Sakura and Sakura cried then fainted.
Syaoran catch her and said, "Sakura, are you alright? Hey! Sakura" Syaoran just hugged her until she regained consciousness.
"Too bad I didn't get to see it," Sakura said but nobody replied, "Syaoran?"

Other side
"We must help her," Tomoyo said.
"I know," Eriol replied, "Tomoyo, close your eyes and try to talk to Sakura."
Tomoyo closed her eyes and she thought, "Sakura please hear me."
"Tomoyo?" a voice said.
"Sakura," Tomoyo thought, "I'm glad that I reached you."
"Tomoyo," Sakura replied.
Tomoyo said, "I know that you can do it. I know you can and Sakura."
"What," Sakura replied.
"About the earthquake," Tomoyo said, "Eriol, Nakuru and I did that because we want you and Syaoran to fall for each other because…"
"If it wasn't for you and Eriol… I didn't know that Syaoran is the greatest person on earth," Sakura replied, "Thank you very much."
"Good luck," Tomoyo said as she open her eyes.
"What did you tell her," Eriol asked.
"I told her that we are the one responsible for the schemes," Tomoyo said, "I couldn't…"
"I understand you," Eriol said as he held Tomoyo's hand.

Sakura's place
"Thank you for the support," Sakura thought and she recalled the other flashback.
Flashback
"HEY! Stop following me," I shouted, "you…you… big idiot!"
"I'm going at the same direction you immature girl," Syaoran replied, "It' not like I want to follow a dumb girl because maybe… I'll get lost or something."
I gave him a death glare and exclaimed, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
"You're not only dumb but deaf too," Syaoran replied in a carefree manner.
I tried to control my anger but can't control it any more and gave him a punch that he'll never forget."
OUCH!" Syaoran exclaimed while rubbing his head, "Why did you do that for… DUMB GIRL!"
"Why do you care," I said in a snobbish way.
"Because can't you be more graceful like Meilin or" Syaoran said irritably, "like my four sisters!"
My face becomes hot and I exclaimed, "Can you butt out that stupid cousin of yours that acts like a leech!
"Hey you' re the one who started it or else…"
"Or else what?!"
Syaoran's expression changed into a sneaky one and said, "Or else that you're jealous about Meilin… right?"
I suddenly got embarrass and replied, "No I'm not!"
"Yes you… are?" Syaoran said, "It's already raining! We have to run for it!"
I nodded. As we were running, I slipped and twisted my ankle. "Ouch!" I exclaimed as I rubbed my foot and tried to stand up, "Ouch! It hurts…"
Syaoran handed her his sweater and mumbled, "Ride on my back…"
I thought, "Is this really him…"
"Ride on my back… before I change my mind!" Syaoran exclaimed.
I rode on his back and I thought, "I can't believe that he's being nice…"
"Where are you going anyway," Syaoran asked, "I'll take you there."
"At the amusement park," I replied, "is it okay with you?"
"I was going there too," Syaoran said.
"His back is warm," I thought, "Is it because I punched him that hard and made him thinks this way."
"He helped me even if I hit him too hard," Sakura thought.
During the practice
"He seems to be thinking about something… but what," I recalled.
"Syaoran you're on," Naoko said.
"Uh… yes," Syaoran said while scratching his head, "Sorry I wasn't paying attention."
I closed my eyes and when I opened them… I saw Syaoran blushing very red and I ran away.
"It was hard for me to be kissed by him back then," Sakura thought.
"Card Mistress! Who is the real Xiao-Lang!" a woman shouted.
Sakura looked at the two Syaorans and closed her eyes. "His symbol of love… his symbol of love… what is it," Sakura mumbled and she suddenly recalled something, "Could it be… the necklace." She opens her eyes and approached the two Syaorans. "The real Syaoran is that one!" Sakura exclaimed as she pointed the one on the left.
Yelan smiled and release the real Syaoran from the bubble and remove the shield between Sakura and Eriol and Tomoyo. "It took you a long time but you're right," she said.
"I'm right… I'm right!" Sakura said as she approached Syaoran and hugged him, "I'm right! I'm glad that you're safe! Syaoran…"
Eriol and Tomoyo approached them. "She did it," Eriol said.
"Yes… she did it," Tomoyo replied as she looked at Sakura jumping up and down.
"And it's all over now," Eriol said with a sneaky smile, "Remember our deal."
Tomoyo looked at Eriol and said, "No."
Eriol sighed.
Tomoyo began to laugh and said, "I didn't forget"
Then two people approached them. "I did it!" Sakura said.
Syaoran smiled and looked at her mother.
"Um… Syaoran," Sakura said as she stopped celebrating, "What does airen mean?"
Syaoran blushed and Eriol and Tomoyo laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing," Eriol and Tomoyo said.
"Um… Syaoran," Sakura said as she turned her eyes back to Syaoran, "What does it mean?"
"It means that…"
"It means that he will be you're future husband," Yelan said as she touched Syaoran, "My Xiao-Lang always get embarrass with these things."
"A husband… I'm too young to have a fiancée," Sakura quietly said while blushing.
"That's the rule of the Li clan my dear," Yelan said, "Don't you love Xiao-Lang?"
"I do love him but…"
"You don't have to be my wife if you don't want to," Syaoran said while looking at the ground.
"No… I was just shocked when you're mother said that to me," Sakura said as she hugged Syaoran, "I'd be happy to be a future fiancée of the greatest boy I met."
Eriol smiled and Tomoyo shed tears of joy. "This is yours," Syaoran said as he gave Sakura the necklace.
"Thanks," Sakura said.
"Xiao-Lang, we need to go back to Hong Kong to tell the elders," Yelan said.
Syaoran nodded and said, "Till we meet again."
"Be careful," Sakura said.
"I will," Syaoran replied.
Eriol said, "Be sure you'll come back for Sakura."
"If you don't," Tomoyo continued, "You'll be the most miserable boy in the world."
Sweat drops appeared on Syaoran's forehead and he said, "I don't like the sound of that. Better get going."
"Bye," they all said.
