Chapter 8: One Last Day

Sakura sighed and looked at Ame. "You go ahead and run. I'm gonna stay here one more day. I have to wrap up some things." She smiled.

Ame's jaw dropped. "You can't stay here! Akito will get to you!"

"Listen to me Ame," Sakura stated firmly. "I am old enough to make my own decision. I might be your twin but I'm old enough to do what I want. I want to stay here for just one more day."

Ame sighed and then groaned. "Fine. I'm gonna go to grandma's house. It's just a few miles outside this city so I'll take a bus there." She shut her suitcase and then hugged her sister. "Be careful and come straight to grandma's tomorrow night. Understand?"

Sakura nodded. "I'll be careful, I promise." She smiled and then watched as her sister fled Tohru's room. She sighed and looked at Kyo.

"Why didn't you leave?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because I want to spend my last day here with you. Tomorrow is Sunday, which means no school. We could spend the whole day tomorrow together." She smiled at him. "Would you like to do that?"

Kyo grinned. "Sure. We just gotta be careful of running into Akito."

She nodded. "I'm going to go to sleep now. I can't wait for tomorrow." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "G'night."

He smiled and kissed her cheek back. "Night." He walked out of Tohru's room, shutting the door. ' "Because I want to spend my last day here with you." She does love me...' He smiled and walked into his room. He crawled into bed and soon fell asleep.

The night past with no disturbances.

Sakura opened her eyes to see Tohru still sleeping. She quickly got up and grabbed a red skirt with a Japanese halter-top. She walked down the hallway and into the shower room. She quickly took her shower and then dressed herself. She let her hair flow down her back. 'I'll keep it down for today.' She smiled at her reflection. She then walked out of the shower room and sat down in the living area. She waited patiently for Kyo to wake up.

Kyo awoke after Sakura had taken her shower. He got up and grabbed clothes for the day and then walked down the narrow hallway to take his shower. After he was done, he walked into the living area to see Sakura sitting there. His mouth hit the floor as he stared as her outfit. 'Holy shit!' He walked over to her and smiled. "Morning sunshine."

Sakura smiled at him. "Morning. Shall we get going?"

Kyo nodded. "We have to be quiet. We don't want to wake anyone." Kyo took her hand and led her outside into the morning sunlight. He then began to walk towards the city. Once he was out of the Sohma lands, he sighed. "Well, now where to?"

Sakura looked at the sun and then at him. "How about we go to a café?" She suggested.

He grinned. "Sounds good to me."

Kyo lead Sakura towards a small café where they ate their breakfast. After they finished eating, they stayed for a little bit to talk.

"Sakura?" Kyo asked.

Sakura looked at him. "Yes Kyo-kun?" She smiled.

"Do you think we'll be able to see each other after today?" He asked hopefully.

Her smiled faded to a weak smile. "Of course. You can come visit me anytime. You can even bring Tohru or the others if you want to." She felt a wave of sadness wash over her.

Kyo smiled gently. "Hey, let's just enjoy the day alright?"

Sakura smiled at him. "You're right. We should be going."

Kyo paid for the check and then took Sakura's hand. Together, they began to make their way around the small town. Their first stop was at a small shop. Sakura entered to find a selection of dresses and clothes.

"Pick out what you like." Kyo stated, smiling at her.

Sakura wanted to hug him but knew that wouldn't be wise on her part. She smiled back and began to look through the racks of clothes. Soon enough, she found a few things she wanted. She went up to the register and pulled out her wallet but Kyo stopped her.

"My treat today." He smiled and then paid the cashier. He handed Sakura her bags and smiled.

The day past quickly and before they knew it, the sun was setting. Sakura frowned slightly but then felt Kyo's breath in her ear.

"There's one more thing I have to show you..." He whispered. He gently took her hand and led her to a small meadow. From there, they had a clear view of the sunset. The sky was painted with pink, orange, and purple. Sakura's eyes watered as she saw the sun.

"It's beautiful..." She whispered. She sat and Kyo soon followed her. She could feel hot tears run down her cheeks. "Kyo...I don't want to leave..." She sobbed.

Kyo smiled and kissed her forehead. "I know...Don't worry Sakura. I'll always be right here..."

Sakura cried into his shirt. "Kyo..."

Kyo titled her head up and kissed her lightly on her lips. "I'll always be in your heart Sakura. Don't forget me, promise?"

"I promise Kyo..."

Slowly they stood and began to head back to town. Once in town, Sakura and Kyo stopped at a bus stop. The bus pulled up and Sakura looked at Kyo.

"I'll come back to visit you, I swear Kyo." She smiled.

Kyo smiled back. "I'll be here waiting." He then gave her one last kiss. With that, he watched the bus leave town. 'I'll wait forever for you Sakura...'

The End.

((A/N: I know it's short but I didn't feel like going into a lot of detail because I'm lazy like that. Don't worry though! There will be an epilogue. But that is just the perfect ending for this story. Well, R/R if you like. Until next time, cya! Luna 26 meow))
