Hello, here is the last chapter (Don't know if that's a good thing or bad). It's the longest chapter yet where all the questions are answered. It has tones of fuzziness and mushiness so enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura, it belongs to clamp.

CHAPTER 3

Sakura slowly opened her eyes, they fluttered. She could feel the sun rays heat her body, she could smell the sweet smell of her Dad's cakes but it didn't matter, nothing mattered anymore.

Flash back

"It's only a crush Sakura, you'll get over it and everything will go back the way it has always been."

End of Flash back

She was angry, she felt stupid for even trying. In a way it all came together, it was about time she accepted that they were not meant to be and he might have been right, what if it was nothing more than a crush, she was strong enough, and she would get over him. What if all the times she spent thinking about him were pointless? She tightened her fist and bit her lip; tears freely flowed from her eyes…if it was only a crush, why did it hurt so much. She sat up on her bed and gently rubbed the tears from her cheeks. All of a sudden the door opened, she took a deep breath "Hey, don't you have anything better to do than laze around in your room?" Touya asked playfully as usual.

"Get out." Sakura said calmly her voice rough.

"What's got you so pissed?" he asked concerned.

"Go away Touya!" she said tossing a pillow at him. He managed to dodge it.

Touya sighed "If you want to talk about it…I'm here."

Sakura lay flat on her body "Thanks but I don't think talking about it would make me feel any better."

Touya nodded and slowly shut the door.

As soon as he was gone the tears came flowing back "I hate you Syaoran Li…" she murmured though she knew she didn't mean a word of it.

Meanwhile Elsewhere….

Li grabbed his bag after soccer practice, he looked at his wrist watch when he realized he was late, he made his way to the parking lot when he heard a familiar voice

"Do you have any idea what you're doing to her?" the voice asked in a fuming tone.

Li turned around to find Eroil glaring at him.

"What?" he asked.

"Sakura…what did you say to her, she was sad today and I have a feeling you had everything to do with it."

Li was quiet; he looked to the ground and said "What Sakura and I do is none of your business."

"So you're just going to ignore the whole thing? What are you, afraid?" Eroil asked gutsy.

He was obviously getting on Li's nerves; Li let out a grin "You wouldn't understand…I'm not afraid. It's not like I meant to hurt her."

"Well you could have fooled me."

"I said the things I said to her to save her from even more pain…" he said his tone getting grim.

"That doesn't make sense, Li do you like her or not?"

He placed one of his hands in his pocket. Just by looking at the expression on his face Eroil knew the answer to that question.

"So you do like her, why not tell her?"

"It's better this way."

"This may be your only chance to make up for everything you said, it's your move."

Li looked at Eroil with no emotion. It was hard to tell what he was thinking

The day of the Play finally came, everyone was settled and ready to play there roles, Sakura and Tomoyo were backstage waiting for the audience to get settled. Sakura's couldn't help but look around for his face. She didn't care if he broke her heart, she missed him.

"Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked noticing the distant look in her eyes.

"Of course I am!" Sakura said trying to sound as cheerily as possible whilst she was breaking. She drifted off to space, she kept getting flash backs each more painful than the last.

Suddenly she felt someone grab her hand; she immediately felt a familiar feeling. She knew it was him, she began to sweat and she could not breathe. He tightened his grip. She turned around and frowned "You have some nerve grabbing my hand knowing I'm mad at you…"

She paused when her vision borrowed his; she could not keep her eyes away from his. She shook her head and dropped her gaze.

"What do you want…can't you take a hint?" she muttered. He did not say anything; instead he pulled her away from the crowd and started walking. His force was so strong that she had no choice but to walk along with him.

"Where are you taking me?" She complained.

He didn't answer; he dragged her all the way to the second floor. They reached the janitors closet, he opened it and forced her in. It was dark and small, the brooms and mops took up most of the room and it had an irritating alkaline smell.

"What's- what the-Li, why did you drag me here, oh wait don't tell me, you want to make it clear that you don't have any feeling for me and my feelings for you are artificial, if you think…" the gap between Sakura's lips was blocked when he suddenly kissed her. He softly pressed his lips on hers, she softly kissed him pack. He pulled her into his arms and she wrapped her slender arms around his neck. They slowly parted; she could not see his face for it was too dark to see. She felt his breath tickle her skin, she could just melt.

"What was that for?" she asked still out of breath.

"You didn't like it?" he asked unsure.

"No…I did you just sort of caught me off guard."

He smirked and released her from his arms. Sakura was even more confused "I thought it was just a crush?" she whispered.

He touched her lips with his fingers, his finger tips slipped all the way to her chin; he angled her face and tenderly kissed her. This time he was more patient, the kiss wasn't experimental or playful, to Sakura it was everything she thought it would be.

He stopped and caressed her cheek then let out a laugh that had pain in it "I'm going to miss you." He muttered.

Sakura was confused, what did he mean? "Miss me?" she said.

He walked toward the door to open it. He gently twisted the handle but it did not open. He twisted it again this time with more force but it didn't budge.

"Is it stuck?" Sakura asked trying to get a glimpse.

"I don't think so" he said pulling and twisting it. He pulled it so hard that the door handle came out. "Oh no-"

"What's wrong, were stuck aren't we."

He turned to her and showed her the handle. Sakura's jaw dropped. "What did you do!" she exclaimed.

"Pulled it, it was an accident…"

"Well, try putting it back." Sakura said alarmed.

Li tried forcing it in but it was no use. He kicked the door but it just wouldn't open. "Let's face it…were stuck." He said taking a deep breath.

"The play….your Romeo-without you the play is practically doomed-oh no this is beyond bad-"Sakura's words were cut.

"Will you calm down, there is an under study for my role okay."

Sakura leaned against the wall "It's all my fault…I should have never told you. We should have been friends, everything was okay, and I just had to spoil it" Sakura moaned.

"It's not…I'm kind of glad you told me."

"You don't mean that, people say strange things when they have nowhere to escape."

"I am sorry that your first kiss had to be next to brooms and mops." He smirked.

Sakura giggled "To think about it, it's kind of romantic in here."

There was an awkward silence between them. Sakura finally broke it "Do you think they'll ever find us?" she asked doubtfully.

"Not as long as the play is downstairs."

She faced him, they were finally alone, she could ask him anything and he won't be able to escape her. She grinned; she couldn't make out the expression on his face but she new she had to cease the moment.

"So…do you want to talk about it?"

Li sighed; he predicted that she would ask her that question. He decided to take the easy way out and play dumb.

"Talk about what."

"You know, first you ignore my feelings for you, then you kiss me on the cheek, then you tell me that my feelings for you aren't true and now…now out of nowhere you kiss me." She said angrily.

"Oh" he said hesitantly.

"So, what are we friends or more?"

"It doesn't matter what we are."

"Yes it does" Sakura replied "You just can't keep avoiding this; one of us is going to get hurt."

Li didn't say anything; he turned his face away from Sakura's.

"I know you hear me, just tell me why you are not at front with your feelings for me."

He was silent, she glared at him, she wished she could see the look on his face, she wished she could see right through him. Seeing he wasn't saying anything she felt hurt again, she sadly sighed "You should have never kissed me." She whispered.

"I thought you wanted me to." He said clearly.

"I did…but did you want to?"

"Of course,"

"Well, maybe it was wrong, if you hadn't kissed me, I don't think I would have been talking to you…I promised myself I wouldn't forgive you for what you said but it's already done and I know I'm vulnerable, I'm the one whose going get hurt in the end "

"I might as well…" he began seriously.

"Might as well what?"

"Tell you the truth…"

"It would be nice for a change." She brushed her hair back and waited for what he would say next.

"It has always felt like I've always been in love with you but never knew it." He began with pain in his every word." When you told me you loved me, I didn't know how to react, it felt as though I had waiting all my life for you say those three words now that they were here…I didn't know what to do with them. I was going to keep it to myself and be on my way in the morning."

Sakura was befuddled, she took a step closer to him "What are you talking about-keep to yourself-morning?

He turned his face aside "I'm leaving, tomorrow morning."

"No, your not." Sakura was shaky and in disbelief.

"Sakura, I am, I might never see you again." He said his tone lowering.

Sakura didn't know how to react, she thought she was going to burst into tears but she somehow managed to hold her strength.

"When did you find out?" she said calmly.

"Three days ago" He said trying to not look at her.

"Why didn't you tell me." Tears filled her eyes.

"I didn't want to see you cry, I couldn't stand the thought of having to leave you."

"What made you think I would cry for you?"

"You did…You said you loved me, I believe every word of it because that's how I feel."

"So how long will you be gone?"

"I'm going to be living in Hong Kong now. Sakura you have to understand that I never meant to hurt you, it just felt right at the time. I thought if you and I didn't get close I wouldn't miss you as much."

Sakura frowned "So you were going to leave forever without telling me?"

"Yeah, I thought saying goodbye would be painful."

Sakura began to cry "How do you think I would have felt to find out you were gone?"

"You were mad at me Sakura."

"So…me being mad doesn't change the way I feel about you."

He moved closer to her and wiped the tear stains from her cheeks "Don't cry."

"I'm not crying I just have something in my eyes." She didn't want him to see how weak she really was.

"Sakura you crybaby, I'm going to miss you." He hugged her tightly squeezing her. "Don't cry I don't want to remember you with tears in your eyes."

"You won't forget me?" Sakura blushed, her tears still flowing freely.

"How could I forget those eyes and that beautiful smile?" He slowly loosened her from his arms and he looked into her eyes "I love you." He said softly while stroking her hair. She wanted to smile, she really did, she had waited for him to say those words but…she couldn't.

Their faces drew closer and they shared another passionate kiss.

Door opens….

"You guys sure picked the wrong time to make out." Tomoyo said. Sakura and Li parted; they were both red; they looked at each other then smiled.

"So is the play still on?" Li asked.

"Yeah…your understudy is playing the role, were you guys here all along?" she asked mad.

"Uh, yeah we got stuck." Sakura replied.

Tomoyo took a deep breathe "How did you get here in the first place."

"I'll tell you later." Sakura said looking at Li who was blushing.

"Hey, were you crying…what's wrong."

"Tomoyo, I'll explain everything later."

After the play the students crowded outside the school the stars shone brightly and the moon was full, Li noticed Sakura walking to the parking lot, he ran after her.

"Sakura!" he yelled.

She turned around and smiled "Yeah."

"Where are you going?"

"Home, if you haven't noticed it's late and my Dad is here."

He looked at her with awe "Will I ever see you again."

"Oh course." She winked.

He smirked as she turned away from him. He watched her get into the car it felt as though he had already lost her. He slowly waved and she waved back.

That night Sakura couldn't get to sleep, she just couldn't get the fact that he was leaving off her mind, after all the confusion everything was clear "I wish…I wish I we had more time. If only you were here, If only I fell in love earlier" She thought. She slowly closed her eyes, she could see his face, and it was everywhere. She could see them together the way it should be; slowly she began to drift into a deep slumber.

"Sakura…Sakura" Li whispered knocking on her window. "Sakura…Kinomoto wake up!" he knocked.

"I almost forgot what a heavy sleeper she is." He thought. "Sakura….-hey wake up!" he whispered trying his best not to wake anyone from the Kinomoto residence

Sakura's eyelids were heavy, she kept hearing an annoying knocking sound but she choose to ignore it. The more she ignored it the louder it got. She gradually opened her eyes and yawned.

"What the-"she turned to her window and saw him. A smile appeared on her face. She got out of bed and opened the window.

"Li, what are doing here?" she asked happily.

"I couldn't sleep; I just can't stop thinking of you." He said.

"Do you have any idea what it is?" she asked rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah, around 2. Let's go up to the roof" he grinned.

Sakura nodded "Wait, I have to get my slippers."

Li bend over and quickly kissed her "I'll meet you up!"

Sakura got on her white soft bunny slippers and climbed out her window unto the roof. She immediately spotted him, he sat quietly, his chestnut hair blew in the breeze and his eyes glowed, his vision finally caught hers. He embraced her "Are you just going stand there…" he asked.

Sakura looked down to the ground "I've never been up here before." She admitted.

"Don't tell me you're afraid" he sneered.

"Course not." She crawled next to him. There was silence between them, Sakura looked at him as he gazed at a far distance, she couldn't believe it took her so long to notice how handsome he was, and every feature on his face lay perfectly in its place. His eyes were astonishing, she could just get lost in them. He looked at her.

"Will you be there when I leave?" he asked.

Sakura smiled "Of course."

"I'm leaving at eight."

"Is Hong Kong great?" she shivered.

He took off his coat and gently wrapped it around her shoulders, she beamed.

"Yes, I almost forgot how good it was, every time I think of how it's like to be there, I see my mother by the oven baking, my sisters would complain about who does what." His eyes lightened.

"You miss them don't you?" she asked.

He nodded "But then here there is you Sakura if there is any reason why I should stay here it's you."

"I always forget that you have a life back in China, people who love you. Call me selfish but I want you to myself but I guess I have to let you go."

He gently touched her hand and looked into her eyes "We'll meet again I just know it." He said.

"Promise" She asked doubtfully.

He hugged her and played with her hair. "Promise" He muttered.

She rested her head in his chest "What if we meet 80 years from now? I could just see us …"

(Sakura's imagination)

Sakura: Li it's me (cough cough)

Li: Huh

Sakura: It's me Sakura remember…

Li: Huh

1 hour later

Sakura: Li it's me

Li: Huh, who

Sakura shook the thought "Why can't you just stay, go to China later, everyone there can wait…I can't. I don't understand, you probably just want to leave me!" She said in snobbish tone.

"You know that isn't true, Sakura, just promise me, you won't cry." Li said.

Tears began to flow from her eyes. He caught her lips and softly kissed her. He stopped and smirked "Your such a cry baby." He teased.

"Will you stop calling me that?" Sakura said angrily.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked.

"I'm not mad…why do you assume I'm mad…I'm just frustrated." She said steadily standing up. She took a short step and slipped on one of the tiles.

"Hoe!!!!!" Sakura exclaimed.

Li immediately grabbed her hand.

"Sakura hold on!" he yelled pulling her up. She managed to regain her balance.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"U-hu! That was close." She said taking a deep breath.

"I think we better get down." He said.

"Great idea,"

Sakura climbed back to her room, Li stood on a branch near her window.

"I'll see you tomorrow morning?" he asked.

Sakura nodded. He winked at her and got down the tree. Sakura closed the window, walked to her bed and sat down. She slowly rested her head on her pillow she could hear his voice- 'you crybaby.' His voice echoed in her head. She was at that moment where she felt like her body would break. From then she didn't get any sleep.

That morning Sakura sat in the living room and stared aimlessly out the window, dark clouds began threaten the sky, Sakura pressed her hands on the window. She was deep in thought; she wasn't supposed to be home…she was supposed to be at the airport. She felt as though she would not be able to handle it. She lazily rested her head on a cushion.

"Sakura, the door, didn't you hear the doorbell ringing?" Touya yelled.

Sakura lay still and ignored him. Touya answered the door.

"Hey, is Sakura here?" Tomoyo asked inviting herself in.

"Yeah, she's in the living room."

Tomoyo made her way to the living room where she found Sakura lying on her back on the couch.

"Aren't you suppose to be somewhere right now?" she asked.

"I'm not going." She said.

"Not going? Sakura I bet he is waiting for you right now. You're going to look back to this day and think, what was I thinking."

Sakura sighed "I can't stand the idea of him leaving."

"He loves you, it's the least you could do."

"No…I'm not going, I can't." She moaned.

"Sakura, I wish someone could look at me the way Li did the other day, you only get one chance to say goodbye."

Sakura sat up "One last chance" she murmured.

Tomoyo nodded "Yeah one last chance."

"One last chance!" Sakura yelled getting up.

"Where are you going?" Tomoyo asked.

"To the airport, he needs me to be there." She rushed out the house.

"Sakura wait!" Tomoyo yelled running after her.

"What!" Sakura turned around.

"You need a ride, my driver can drive you to the airport!"

"Thanks Tomoyo."

Li looked around for her face but she was no where in sight. "Sakura, where are you?" he muttered. He searched again and thought "She's not showing up." He said depressed. He put his hands in his pocket and heaved a sigh.

"Flight 102 leaves in 10 minutes' the flight announcer announced.

He glanced at his watch.

"Li!" a pitched voice yelled. He slowly turned around and there she was right before him. Her hair was messy and she was in bunny slippers. She wore a short denim skirt and a tight plain white t-shirt.

She breathed deeply and her cheeks were red "I'm sorry I'm late!"

He smirked and slowly walked toward her.

"…and I'm sorry about the way I look." She said softly.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and she around his neck. "I understand, I'm sorry for what I said last night, if I could take it all back I would. I was being selfish, they are people who love you and need you just as much as I do. I'll let you go for now but when you come back to me I won't let go." She smiled "I'm not crying and I'm not going to, I know you'll come back and I'm going to wait for as long as it takes."

"Sakura-"Li's word were cut.

"I'm not done yet, I love you and I always will."

"I love you too. I won't forget those pretty green eyes" He said. Their faces drew closer and they shared what appeared to be their last kiss.

'Flight 102 will be leaving in five minutes'

Sakura and Li parted. He held her hand tightly, she didn't want to let him no neither did he her. She managed to let to let him go.

She watched him walk away, she felt as though a special part of her was being taken away. Her heart was in her throat and she bit her lip "He'll come back." She said.

Later…

"Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked as Sakura opened the front door to her house.

"I'll be." Sakura lied.

They got in and walked into the kitchen, Touya leaned against the fridge with and orange juice cart in his hand. "What's wrong with you?" he asked in a insensitive tone.

"Li left." She said.

He smiled "Finally it's about time."

Sakura gave him a cold look then turned away.

"What's up with all of these mood swings?" he asked clueless.

"She's in love with him." Tomoyo said.

"Oh, well that changes everything." Touya said, though he still hated Li he thought accepting the idea of Sakura being in love with him would make her feel better "Listen Sis; don't let it put you down. There more fish in the sea." He said.

Sakura and Tomoyo shot evil glares at him.

"I'll just shut up!" he said.

Sakura made her way to the window, for some unknown reason she was drawn to it. The rain started pouring and the rain drops slide on the glass, she pressed her fingers on it and leaned her forehead against it. She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing; a tear fell from her eye. She closed her eyes then slowly opened them. She kept staring outside, there wasn't much to see, no one was around when suddenly a Taxi stopped in front of her house. Sakura's eyes brightened, she knew who it was. She rushed outside. Though the rain was pouring she didn't care. The taxi door opened and out of it was Li. Sakura ran to him and threw her hands around his neck. He hugged her back; there was barely any space between them. "I couldn't do it…" He said breathing deeply. "I just can't leave you Sakura not now that I love you!' he said.

THE END

So what did you think of the ending? Please R&R.
