Epilogue
From the time of the mishap between Syaoran and Sakura, everyone was effected; Sakura the most. The normally happy and cheerful girl rarely smiled and only spoke when she was spoken to, responding with one worded answers. Most people thought she just needed time to heal… but the guy she liked and even thought she might have even loved betrayed her… when they were the best of friends too! She was so hurt, all Sakura wanted to do was lock herself away and forget. Forget him… but that was just impossible. Even though she wanted to have nothing to do with him… why was it that he came to her in dreams… and she would be happy with him? Why is it that she always thought of him? Why is whenever she saw him with anyone else that was the opposite sex, she still got the jealous feeling inside of her? Why wouldn't he remove himself from her mind?! Why could she still feel his kisses burning her lips, cheeks and neck where he had previously kiss her? Why was it that he was slowly and silently torturing her without even knowing it…
Syaoran constantly tried to talk to Sakura. He thought that maybe… just maybe if he continued to pursue her she would break down, tell him how terrible he was and they would be able to build up their friendship again and maybe even progress into something deeper than just friendship. But nothing would happen. She just wouldn't do a thing to respond. The two finished their project, but handed it in separately. Sakura refused to communicate with him and even look at him. It was tearing him up inside… but he knew he was the only one to blame. It was no one's fault but his own. The part that was killing him the most was she never smiled, never laughed, her eyes never shone with that innocence and love for life like they once did. The Sakura he loved — loves was gone. The Sakura everyone loves was gone. And it was all his fault...
~.. Graduation Day ..~
It was finally graduation day and everyone was either rejoicing that their high school years had finally come to an end, or crying for this same fact. It was time for everyone to leave and go to college to continue on with their lives. This also meant losing contact with some of the most important people to them as well. Syaoran was voted to be at the top of the class and was to give his speech before the school. As he stood up at the front, he looked at Sakura's downcast face the entire time he spoke, watching her reaction to his words.
"Teachers, classmates, fellow students. We've finally made it! We're graduating!" Syaoran exclaimed with a fake smile on his face as the class of 2004 cheered. "All of the exams and tiring days we didn't want to get out of bed because we were up late studying are over. The school dances, spirit days, football games and trying out for team sports are over. The times we were rejected from asking out a girl or guy or over… for most of us anyway," he continued as the crowd laughed. "Some of these are good things, but then again some of them are bad. This has been our home, a place where we could go to meet up with friends and have people to talk to about everything and anything. This is where relationships between friends, teachers, students and girlfriends or boyfriends were formed and developed even farther. I'd like to thank each and every one of you people out there. For this indeed has been an eventful year. I'll miss you all. Thank-you class of 2004," Syaoran finished as everyone cheered and threw their hats up into the air, officially signaling that they had graduated from high school.
Five years had passed since graduation and everyone was doing great. Tomoyo was famous, for she has set up the clothing line she always wanted to have. Eriol had finally proposed to Tomoyo, who after many tears of joy and much screaming of delight accepted. Eriol was currently working as a doctor, helping anyone in need. Chiharu and Takashi were engaged and were both working for a law firm. Tomoyo, Eriol, Chiharu and Takashi were to have a double wedding. Naoko was working as a film writer and Rika was the actress for Naoko's films.
That only leaves Sakura and Syaoran. Although they kept in contact with everyone… it was only these two that decided not to interact any longer, much to Syaoran's displeasure who tried calling her once a month for three years before giving up on the love of his life altogether knowing there was nothing more he could do… for now. Syaoran was his normal self although his eyes seemed to contain an anguish no one could remove. He had stopped dating altogether even though he was highly sought after. He had finished his schooling for college within two years because of his high grades and was working for Li Corp, the family business that his sick mother could no longer manage. His mother was constantly reminding him these days that she wanted to see him married before she died. And whenever she said this; it drove him insane, for Sakura was brought back to mind. She was the only woman he ever thought… no he knew he could and would be happy with.
Sakura had also finished school early. She had decided she would strive to be the best, and in her college, she was. She graduated with perfect grades and started up her own company that was excelling. She grouped together with many other of the top students in her college and they ran a technology company. Their company designed certain software for important groups of people such as the CIA and government. Sakura was doing amazingly well seeing as she was the president of Kinomoto Inc. Although Sakura was also sought after by many men, unlike Syaoran, she decided to go out with them for a week before dumping them, getting a new man ever other weeks or so. She did her best to dodge calls and questions about Syaoran and was delighted when his calls finally stopped. Her father was quite upset with how she was doing in the dating field, and promised him she would settle down and make plans to get married this year, for he was sick and she didn't want to put any pressure on him. Although she didn't plan on keeping this promise and just said it to make him feel better, but his death two days after the promise was made changed her mind. The last things she said to him were "I promise daddy. I love you." She wasn't going to let the last words she said to him go to waste. It looks like she'd have to get married this year after all. So what's this about Fujitaka Kinomoto's will and Li Syaoran now?
How will these two lives come together again to fulfill destiny? Find out in Just Breathe…
SweetBabyGurl: Well, there's your epilogue and since so many of you asked for it, the sequel will be coming soon :) As soon as I get the time to do it, the sequel will be up and running. I really don't like the subjects math and science especially when I get homework for it… so you blame my teachers, not me! Well I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. Speaking of enjoying writing some things… I'll be taking off the fic Breaking Through. I honestly cannot stand it. I hate how it's been developed and things like that. I think I'll just stick to writing one fic at a time from now on. But I'll have to sequel out soon alright? Thanks a lot and ja ne!
