Nini-chan:AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I am soooo horrible, am I not?"

Kero-chan(shooks head): You're plain horrible.

Li-kun: Ugh! You have the worst ending! It's so depressing!

nini-chan: Hey! It's not over yet...

They look at her suspiciously.

Sakura just arrived from work, and went straight to her bedroom. She plopped down her bed, and almost closed her eyes when the phone suddenly rang. She stood up, startled, and lazily picked up the phone. "Hello?"

#Sakura? I have really, really bad news!!!!# Tomoyo cried. It sounded as if she was crying.

"What's wrong Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked, worried.

#It's Syaoran...he...he...# Tomoyo sputtered. But it seems as if the words were too horrible to let out.

"Okay, take a deep breath, and slow down," Sakura instructed.

She heard Tomoyo take a few shuddering breaths, and there was silence on the other line.

"Now, tell me, what happened to Syaoran?"

There was a moments silence, and then....

#He's going back to Hong Kong tomorrow early in the morning.#

Sakura dropped the phone on the ground with a loud clatter.

#SAKURA! ARE YOU OKAY?# Tomoyo shouted from the other line.

Sakura looked dumb founded for a moment, before picking it up. "I'm h...here..."

#Oh Sakura-san, you have to tell him how you feel before he leaves...forever!# Tomoyo declared.

"What time is he leaving?" Sakura asked.

#The plane leaves at five-thirty in the morning# Tomoyo replied.

Sakura just sat there, silent. Then she murmured, "I'll call you later, Tomoyo-chan."

#OH! Oh, okay#

They hang up at the same time.

Sakura lay on her bed, eyes open, not really thinking properly.

Then the tears came pouring out so quickly.

"Syaoran.... Syaoran's gone...forever..." She murmured, choking back the tears. "Is this what I want?"

She closed her eyes.

"No....this isn't what I want....I want him to be with me all the time...I want him close to me...but then, what's this feeling inside me? Whenever I think of Syaoran, my chest tightens...it's as if I couldn't breath. It's like..." she stood up, as fresh new tears came pouring out. "...without Li, I'll never be able to breath air ever again..."

She closed her eyes, and hung her head. "What am I supposed to do? I can't follow my heart. It's leading me into two different directions. I can't choose... I love Yushi...and Li...I-"she fell to her knees, and covered her face with her hands. "I don't know... I don't know!!!!"

"Syaoran...."

"Syaoran...."

"What?"

Sakura looked around. Everything was dark except for a little light that was infront of her. She started to run towards the light, but the more she kept running, the farther it gets.

"N-no! Somebody help me! Can anybody help me?"

"Follow your heart, and it will guide you Sakura," a voice whispered.

"It can't! It's leading me into two different directions!" Sakura cried out, stopping to catch her breath.

"One beats within you. Listen to it. It only leads to one direction. You're not listening well. Listen Sakura.... listen..." the voice starts to fade away, and there was silence in the air.

"No! Wait a minute!" SAkura called, but no one replied.

x ox oxo xo x

"Huh?"

Sakura's alarm was screeching its head off.She gave a groan and turned it off. Dawn was cracking, and she wondered for a minute why her alarm had rung before realizing what it is.

"Oh no! SYAORAN!"

It was five o'clock.

"Shit! no! I can't believe this! His plane leaves in thirty minutes!" Sakura screamed, changing within seconds and dashing through the living room, grabbed her keys, and slammed the door shut.

Touya and his father openned their bedroom doors, and peeked out. "Did you hear anything wierd Touya?" His father yawned.

Before he could reply, they heard the sound of a car starting up and they went to their window to look. Sakura's car zoomed out of the garage and towards the street. Touya and his father immediately got out of the room, confused and shock.

"Where the hell is she going at this hour?" Touya shouted, changing his clothes.

"We have to follow her, now come'n!"

They went to Touya's car, and drove off.

x ox oxo xo x

Syaoran, Syaoran, Syaoran, Syaoran, Syaoran....

Sakura swerved into a corner and almost crashed herself into a BMW. A man's head popped out of the window, and shrieked, "You puny asshole! Watch where you're going!"

Sakura didn't hear him. Her mind was in other important matters.

Even if she couldn't see him again, she wanted to see him just one last time.

Please, please don't it be too late! Sakura thought, tears threatening to come out. I lost a boy once, I'm not gonna lose another one again!

In the other car, Touya was dialling Tomoyo's number and she lazily picked it up after four rings.

#Hello?# she groggily asked.

"Tomoyo, do you know where Sakura is heading in such a rush?" Touya asked.

#Sakura? Uh...# she gave a stiffled yawn, and gasped inbetween. #Oh no! She's going to the airport!#

"Is she running away from home?" Touya screamed, horrified.

#No, no! Syaoran. He's living in about... oh no! five minutes! Where are you now?#

Touya sighed, "She's not gonna make it in time to say good-bye."

#Oh poor SAkura-san.#

"Flight to HongKong will be boarding in five minutes."

Sakura ran as fast as she can, and stopped to look around. The airport was a huge building. She didn't know where Syaoran is.

Her alarm watch beeped telling her that it was five-thirty.

Sakura almost collapsed, tears pouring out of her eyes. She shooked her head, and screamed at the top of her lungs, "SYAORAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!"

x ox oxo xo x

Syaoran walked silently towards his plane, a red bag on his shoulder. Each step he took towards it, his chest tightened, that he stopped to give a few shuddering breaths. A face was forcing its way in Syaoran's brain, but he quickly shooked it away. "I can't back out now! I can't! It's too late anyway." He ran, towards the plane and went inside, not looking back.

Touya and his father arrived at the airport, out of breath, and started looking around for Sakura.

"There she is!"

Sakura was sitting on a bench, head bowed down. But they could see that she was crying. They edged closer to her , and sat down.

"Sakura? Are you okay?" Touya asked.

Sakura stayed silent, as tears flowed in her cheeks. "Syaoran....I....never said.... I never said...." She gave a pained expression, "I never said I loved him...."

Touya and his dad looked at each other with worried expressions.

"Sakura, it's gonna be okay... there's nothing you can do about it... it's the past..." Touya tried to say.

Sakura just shooked her head, and gave a sad smile. "Yeah, I guess so..."

She followed them outside, and turned towards the airport one last time. She suddenly saw a plane starting to soar up. Wind ruffled through her hair, and Sakura whispered, "Good bye Syao-Syao...."

x ox oxo xo x

"You didn't catch up to him?" Tomoyo said, with a worried expression.

Sakura shooked her head, determined not to cry.

"No, I didn't...."

They were all in the park, and Sakura told them everything that had happened earlier.

"Sakura...are you okay?" Naoko asked, worriedly.

Sakura smiled, "I'm okay! Really! I'm fine!" She assured her friends as they looked at her. She stood up. "So, who wanna go shopping with me to the city?"

Her friends nodded in agreement. They climbed inside Tomoyo's limo, and they drove off. Sakura was quiet the whole way towards the mall. They climbed out and everyone gawked at the huge building that loomed infront of them.

"Yo, what's with th-"

Tomoyo whirled around, turning to her friends. "This is my mom's new mall! And it's not yet open to the public! That means it's all ours!"

Her friends sweatdropped, and cheered. They followed Tomoyo to the entrance, Sakura the last. She was still down, thinking that she never got a chance to say that she loved Syaoran before he could leave.

"What?"

A small white snow dropped infront of Sakura. She watched it fall to the ground, and looked up. Snow was beginning to drop from the sky, and Sakura brightened up. "Hey guys, look! It's snowing!"

Her friends turned but instead of looking up, they were all looking past her shoulder, and was staring something that was behind her. They all wore shocked expressions.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

"Hey...."

Sakura stopped, and then, slowly, turned her body.

A boy with auburn brown hair was standing ten feet away from her, carrying a red bag, cheeks red from running.

"Syao-"

Syaoran smiled, and dropped his bag. "I can't stop thinking about you."

Sakura's eyes widened, as she gave a step forward.

"All this time, I've been denying what my heart's been telling me. That's why I couldn't breath right when I step into that plane. It was like half of me was missing. As if, that if I never found that half again, I don't know who I am. If I can never be whole again, then I don't know what I'm supposed to do here in this world," Syaoran announced, stepping forward. "I've never felt anyone like this before."

"Syaoran, I-"

"Kinomoto Sakura...I...I'm..." Syaoran took a deep breath, and declared, "...I'm inlove with you." before anyone could say anything, Syaoran continued, "I was inlove with only one person twice. I was inlove with you as a friend the moment I first met you...then I fell inlove with you as the girl that I wanted to spend the rest of my living days forever."

Her friends gasped and stood there, watching what Sakura was gonna say.

Sakura just stood there, dumbfounded. Then, she gave a smile, tears coming out of her eyes. "I always was, Syaoran...I always was inlove with you. All this time. You were the only one that I fell inlove. I, too have never felt anything like this before."

Syaoran smiled, and they ran towards each other, and he scooped her up as he gave her a loving hug. They twirled for a while, before he put her down, and kissed her full in the lips. Sakura swung her arms around Syaoran's neck and kissed him passionately.

Their friends screamed and hooted.

Syaoran parted, and knelt down. The girls gasped while the boys 'Oohed.'

"Will you be my fiance?" Syaoran asked as he took out the most beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Sakura placed her fingertips together, and smiled happily. "As long as I'll be with you forever... "

"So do I, my fair little cherry blossom."
