The cool autumn wind blew across the field, where leaves fell like raindrop. A family weaved their way through the endless tombstones, while helping the elders and made their way to the two tombstones that lay side by side with each other.
There, they cleaned the area and put a fresh carination in the vase at each grave and the family stood there, staring at the picture of the two family members they loved deeply.
"Kaijuu." Touya mumbled. Although he is almost reaching ninety, He walked with grace and he still looked stylish with the dark blue suit and his thick black hair neatly combed. Surprise to many, he is still capable to break the hearts of many grandmothers.
Tomoyo coughed and was soon steadied by a man with midnight blue hair and gray eyes. "Mother, are you alright?"
"Don't worry Julian, I am fine, just filling chilly because of the wind."
"Now Tomoyo, you should have brought your shawl out. If you fall ill because of this, Sakura will be annoyed to bits."
"Eriol, please, don't nag." Tomoyo sighed and stared at her son and her pregnant daughter-in-law. "We cannot stay too long either. Nadeshiko is now unable to stay out for long."
"Stubborn girl." Eriol smiled as glancing at the lady with black raven hair and emerald eyes, that reminded him so much of Sakura's mother. "Even in her condition, she doesn't want to miss her mother's death anniversary."
A child squeal could be heard, breaking the peaceful silence. This is followed by the shout of his mother. "Syaoran Asato. Come back right here!"
The young boy looked up at his mother's brown eyes and started arguing. "But mother, I saw Kero running away, and I wanted to follow."
"Son, Kero will come back." A man with purple eyes joined in the conversation. "But you are not allowed to be noisy in a solemn occasion like this."
"Father?"
"Hmm..."
"What is the meaning of solemn?"
"Well," The man looked at his wife, begging her to help him out while YingFa could only smile.
"Try explaining that Tsuzuki Asato." She laughed.
He sighed and turned back to his son, only to find him with Yukito and engrossed with one of the many stories about Sakura Kinomoto.
He looked at the grave, only to see Syaoran's only son staring at the picture of his parents. Quietly, he made his way to his brother-in-law side. "What's up?"
The young man stared at him with dark chocolate eyes and gave a sigh. "Nothing Tsuzuki, just that it has been a year since mother died. One year six months ago, father died. Time really flies."
Tsuzuki stared at the picture. "Mr. Li was a great man. If I could shower YingFa half the love he showed for Mrs. Li, YingFa could be a lucky girl."
"You are doing it well enough. You saved YingFa from her depression, just like how my father saved my mother." The young man argued.
"Well, maybe Hisoka." Tsuzuki nodded in agreement.
"Whatever it is, Mother lived her life to the fullest." YingFa moved in between the two men she loved and gave her brother a peck on the cheek before giving Tsuzuki a kiss that blew his mind away. "A successful career, a family with three well brought up children..."
"Well brought up children you say?" Touya chuckled. "I swear, when you were young, you all were terrors! Now," He smirked. "I think you guys are ready to shock people with the achievements that you have. No one can say that the Li-Kinomoto family was no match from heaven."
"Thanks for the compliment Uncle Touya." Nadeshiko said good-naturedly. "Three well brought up children who loved each other so much and last of all, a great mother, wife and friend."
"Hate to say this," Yukito slowly made his way to the crowd while carrying Syaoran Jr, and supporting Tomoyo. "Your mother really loved your father. That was why she died six months after Syaoran died. At least she died in her sleep."
"Till death do us part." Tomoyo smiled. "Do you think we will have the same ending?"
"Dear, we will." Eriol reassured her.
"Mom, dad, let's go home." Julian tapped her shoulder and turned away from the grave.
Tomoyo fixed her eyes on the wording on the tombstone.
A friend, wife and mother
Who lived her life to the fullest
She will be well missed by all
She turned away, well aware that Sakura is back at home with Syaoran in heaven.
Alright!!! The epoligue... thanks for the 130 reviews that you all have showered throughout the story! Great encouragement and love reading it! Endless calls to update and lengthen the story. But hey, all in the name of reviews, I am just glad you all did send the reviews in. I do the credit rolls later... first...
pnaixrose: Better late than never!
There-is-No-Time: why doesn't he feel sad when his elders died? Well, I don't really think that people really enjoy others to butt into their lives. So, there is no lost love when his elders died.
crystalstarlight: Naruko is out of the picture. So, we won't be getting him back. He is important to the story coz he changed Sakura. But he is not a significant character. It's too complicating to get him back, after all he lost all memory regarding Sakura.
jbg: Christianity is allowed in Japan, even though it is not allowed in China. I am not from a Christian school, but I am a Christian. Maybe that is why I chose the school. I wasn't really sure how the story was going to develop that time, so I chose something safe, to me. But glad I didn't have to use any of my extremely limited knowledge about Japan.
Okay... the ending credits...
I first want to thank CLAMP for giving us a beautiful story of CardCaptor Sakura, they created this. THANK YOU SO MUCH...
