Chapter 13:
We Finally Did It…
Normal Pov:
Sakura's house was in sight, which meant that Eriol was very close to her. Syaoran was still trying to catch up to him, and he knew that. But he wanted to make sure that he would be there in time to see his precious Sakura die.
Walking up to the front door he turned the knob to see if it was locked or not, and to no surprise it was. Taking out a swiss army knife, he unlocked to door, hearing a small 'click'. Then slowly, he walked into the house, trying not to make a sound so Sakura would not wake.
"Oh Sakura…where are you? Well you better be sleeping cause it's going to be really hard killing you while you're screaming and jumping around." He whispered while looking around all the rooms. He was just about to open the pantry door when he heard some random mumbling in the living room.
"Pony's are NOT horses…they're…(snore)…"
Poking his head around the corner he noticed a sleeping figure on the cough and knew right away that it was Sakura. With the army knife still in his hand, he slowly tiptoed over to her sleeping form. The moonlight was glimmering in through the window, letting him see her innocent pale face. There he was, ready to send her to her misery, knowing that she had no idea that he was standing right next to her. And there she was, sleeping without a care in the world. She seemed so peaceful… so delicate that it almost seemed a sin to look at her.
With second thoughts racing through his mind, he looked away from her and looked out the window to see if Syaoran was close. He still wasn't in sight, but he knew that he was coming to Sakura's rescue. Walking back to the couch he sat down next to her.
'You are so beautiful…'he thought stroking a strand of hair away from her face. Everything around him seemed to disappear except for her. 'Why weren't you able to love me? Was it something I did? I would've given you the world…the whole universe even. But you didn't want that, it wasn't enough…' he was about to lay the knife down on the couch when a sudden bang made him jump out of his skin and made Sakura practically fall off the couch.
Without a second thought Eriol picked up Sakura and held her around the neck, the knife pressed against her temple. Syaoran at this time was terrified of what he was going to do. Not daring to make a sudden move, he held out his hands and tried to talk to him.
"Eriol, this is a BIG mistake. You don't want to do this."
"And why is that? Come on, you don't think I can see right through you? You're just trying to get me to let her go." Eriol lowered his head and took in a deep breath of Sakura's hair. "Mmm…she does smell wonderful doesn't she? Of course you would know that since she's the one who loves you. She's had the biggest crush on you ever since I could remember and I thought nothing of it cause I thought you felt nothing for her. But ever since you started moving in, making her feel as if she had a chance, I was beginning to question myself. I never really understood why she was never able to love me, but then again I was never capable of understanding why she was able to love you either. Is it something that you have that I don't? Or is it simply the fact that you're more handsome then me? Either way, if I can't have her, then no one can." Still handling Sakura by the neck, Eriol started making his way to the front door. Syoaran was looking at Sakura the whole time, seeing her terrified and pale face asking him for help. All he needed was the perfect chance to get the knife out of his hands, then she would be free.
Following Eriol out of the house, Syaoran was becoming desperate and was running out of ideas of what to do to get Sakura out of his grasp. Then an idea hit him.
"Eriol, if you're really going to go through with this, then can I at least have one last word with her?" Eriol had a confused look on his face and Sakura's eyes were extremely wide as if to say, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, AREN'T YOU GOING TO SAVE ME?" trying hard to make a decision, Eriol looked at Sakura and then at Syaoran.
"Fine, ONE, more word." Sakura nervously looked at Eriol as he loosened his grip on her, letting her move forward towards Syaoran. Even though he loosened his grip, he still didn't let her go completely. He was still holding her hand, just in case Syoaran made any sudden moves.
Syaoran hugged Sakura around the waist, and Sakura wrapped the one arm that wasn't being held by Eriol around his neck.
"Listen, as soon as he's distracted, I'm going to try and take the knife out of his hands. When I give you the Q, then you move away from him so I don't hurt you, okay?" Syaoran whispered quickly so Eriol wouldn't hear.
"Okay…I thought that you were actually going to let him hurt me."
"Of course not. Don't worry, soon enough you'll be out of his clutch."
"Time's up." Eriol said, pulling Sakura away from Syoaran. " I think it's time to get to the point. Sakura, don't you think that…" Eriol began, but neither Sakura nor Syaoran was paying any attention to him. Syaoran was looking at Sakura who nodded her head in return.
"NOW!" yelled Syaoran, and Sakura moved to the side while he lunged at Eriol and kicked his hand, making the knife fly through the air. Taking this moment to get away from Eriol, Sakura kicked his shin and ran behind Syaoran. As soon as the knife hit the grass, both him and Eriol lunged for it, landing on the ground. They were rolling on the ground, struggling to get the knife out of each other's hands.
"Let go!"
"She will never love you because of everything that you've done! So stop trying to win her cause it's never going to happen!"
"I know she wont…and that's why…that's why I'm doing this." Eriol stopped fighting and lay on the grass quietly. "I've always wanted her... but she's never seen me more then just a friend." Syaoran, who was sitting on him at the time, stopped trying to force the knife out of his hand and got off of him. "There were so many thing's I've done for her in the past…I thought that it would be enough…but none of it was…everything I did was a waste. And now I'm trying to get her by force…but that's not working either." Syaoran rolled his eyes and stepped closer to him.
"How stupid can you get? You can't win a girl by simply buying her things or by trying to force them to like you. Have you ever thought that the reason that she doesn't like you is because you're not her type?"
"Syaoran…" Syaoran stopped talking and the both of them turned their heads to look at Sakura. "Eriol, he's right. The reason I don't like you is because you're not my type, and another reason is your attitude, your personality, everything about you I hate! We used to be friends, but now, after seeing who you really are, who you have become, it disgusts me." the look Sakura was giving Eriol was one of pure hatred, and it made him a little uneasy.
"Sakura…" he tried but was cut off. Sakura was really heated, the anger she was feeling towards him was practically radiating off of her skin.
"Shut up! I hate you, I don't ever…"
"Shh…" Syaoran said pulling her back cautiously. "Don't piss him off…he still has the knife." Sakura looked at him and then at Eriol, suddenly realizing what he meant.
"Enough chit chat. Sakura, I'll see you soon…in the afterlife." Eriol said and began running at her. Right when he was about to strike, a dart was shot and he fell to the ground kneeling. Looking down he noticed the red tip of the dart and soon enough he was getting dizzy but was still able to see.
"I don't think that such action is called for." A voice said and all three heads turned to see that it was Tomoyo. She was standing on the sidewalk with her arms crossed and a proud look on her face. "Besides, I think that enough has been done in one night…I don't think you would want to get into any more trouble then you're already in Eriol." Eriol tried desperately to stand up and was failing miserably. The dart was taking effect extremely fast so all he could do was kneel in the same spot until it wore off.
"What do you mean? No one is here to whiteness what is happening." He said, beginning to wobble. Tomoyo looked at him and smiled wickedly, her arms still crossed.
"Ha, that's what you think." And with a simple snap of her fingers, about three cameramen sprung out from nearby bushes and a police car appeared from around the street corner, stopping right in front of the house. Eriol's facial expression was priceless. Even though he could barely move, he was shaking…a lot. "You see Eriol…" Tomoyo said, kneeling down in front of him. "You may think that you have a few tricks up your sleeve, but the more you have I'm always a step ahead of you, maybe not all the time, but I'm always ready when I need to be." She got closer to him, her face right in front of his. "Obviously you can see that by all the people surrounding you…oh…and don't be too sad, you'll only be in jail for oh lets say…10 or 15 years, it's up to them." She said pointing to the cops who were making their way up to them. Eriol hung his head, not allowing him self to look at her again. He knew she was right, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Tomoyo walked away from him as the cops took hold of his arms, and right before getting into the car, he looked at Sakura and told her one last thing.
"All I wanted was you." he stood there waiting for her reaction when he noticed her walking up to him, her face was sad, almost as if she felt bad for him. And inches away from him she smiled, making him smile in return. Then, out of nowhere, she turned her head the other way and spit, looking back at him afterwards.
"Too bad."
Eriol opened his mouth to say something but had no time since his head was pushed into the car. Sakura, along with Syaoran, Tomoyo and all her camera men watched as the car disappeared, Eriol's face growing smaller and smaller the more it drove off into the distance.
"Well I think that about covers it, thank you Georgieo, I never could've don't it without you." Tomoyo said as a tall man walked up to her.
"No problem, I espect zat his face shall nevear be seen avound zis place evear again?' he said in his French accent.
"Oui, his face shall never be seen around here ever again." The French man bent over and kissed Tomoyo on both cheeks before snapping his fingers. In doing so all three cameramen walked around from behind the bushes and followed him back to their van. "I guess that's it then?" Tomoyo said walking over to Sakura and Syaoran who was holding her tightly in his arms.
"Yes, it is, we finally did it. He's gone, forever."
"Correction." Syaoran said with a finger held out. "He will be gone for 10 or 15 years, not forever."
"Whatever." Sakura punched him playfully in the chest and Tomoyo giggled.
"I hope that everything's all right. You're not hurt or anything are you Sakura?" Tomoyo asked lifting her arm up to see if there were any bruises or cuts.
"No, I'm fine and so is Syaoran."
"Okay, I guess I can go home and sleep peacefully then?"
"Yup."
"Okay, I guess I'll see you two lovebirds tomorrow." Tomoyo said walking off. As soon as she was out of sight, Sakura turned around to face Syaoran.
"Thank you for protecting me. I always knew that you were my knight in shining armor." Syaoran smiled proudly and ran a hand through his disheveled hair.
"Well, you know…" he started but only ended up being punched in the stomach again by Sakura.
"I love you." She said leaning closer to him.
"I love you too." And, with no one in sight, Syaoran pulled Sakura into a tender kiss.

5 Years later:
"I don't think so, come back here." Sakura said. 5 years have passed and she was a bit older. Her hair was longer and a little darker and there was something new in her life.
Walking over to the television, she picked up a young boy no older then the age of 3. He had dark, untidy brown hair and brown eyes, with small hands that resembled a lot like hers and the energy and wildness of both her and his father.
"Man, you are EXACTLY like your dad, what's going to happen to me when you turn 13?" She said pinching his cheeks playfully.
"DADDY!" he yelled, jumping down from Sakura's grasp and running into a big embrace from no other then his dad.
"Do you have ANY Idea how hard it is to take care of your son? I swear, every day he's becoming more and more like YOU." She said poking her husband in the chest.
"Well he's beginning to get YOUR attitude." He said putting him down.
"Sure okay, come here Hunter." Sakura said and he ran back into her arms. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you Li Syaoran. " Syaoran just winked at her and began walking off when Sakura's raised voice stopped him. "Umm, I think you're forgetting something."
"Hmm?"
"Where's my kiss? How dare you forget to give your wife a kiss, you just got back from work." Sakura was tapping her foot on the ground with an eyebrow raised waiting for an answer.
"Do you deserve a kiss? If I remember correctly, you poked me about 2 minutes ago." Sakura opened her mouth to say something but was caught in a warm kiss.
"There, you happy now?" he said jokingly.
"Yep, sure am."
"Okay, come on, everyone on the couch for the family picture." An elderly man said holding the camera in his hand. Within minutes everyone, including the cat was on the couch smiling. "Now, on the count of three: 1…2…3…" there was a flash and the picture was taken. There was Sakura, Syaoran, and Hunter, all sitting together happily. Their expressions were joyful and everything seemed perfect. Why shouldn't it be? Sakura had a family that she had always wanted, the man of her dreams, and the son she had dreamt of having her entire life. What more could she ask for? To her, everything was perfect, and it was going to stay that way…forever.
