~RECAP:
I walked into Wolf Park and passed by the Sakura trees.
I sighed…
Even the mere sound of her name made me shiver.
It was then that I heard someone crying somewhere.
I followed it…
…Until I saw a sudden flash of auburn and emerald green…
'Could it be…?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^*END OF RECAP*^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I squinted… … … … … … … … … … … … … IT WAS!
My heart melted when I heard her sweet melodic voice say 'I love you, Syaoran.'
…
--Wait-- … …SHE LOVES ME!!! SHE_LOVES_ME!!!!!!
My heart sang as those four words repeated through my mind, 'I love you, Syaoran…I love you, Syaoran…' Gods, that felt good to hear!
I soon found myself walking towards her, my heart aching with relief, now that I found her… and there wasn't a soul on earth that would stop me from getting to her.
~ Saigo no

Tabako no flavor ga shita
Nigakute setsunai kaori~
~*~SAKURA'S POV~*~
…Hm…. Boy did I blow it with Syaoran… A soft sob escaped my lips as more tears flooded down my cheeks… GOD THEY WOULDN'T STOP! …When will I ever forget about him…?…--……But I can't!
"I love Syaoran Li…" Realization hit me, as the world seemed to freeze…
I LOVE SYAORAN LI!
How could I ever forget that! Why did I ever leave Japan when I did??? I could've stayed and make things work out and now it's too late—
"And I love Sakura Kinomoto…"
I looked up… My mouth went dry… There he was… the man I ached to have my arms around…the man I loved!
He offered a hand to me as I stared up at him in a stunned position. I took his offered hand and got up, almost stumbling from the shock…
A few tears found their way down my face as they each hit the ground with a clash.
~ Ashita
no imagoro niwa
Anata wa doki ni irun darou
Dare wo omotterun darou~
He gazed into my eyes as I did the same… Damn, I love him so much…. But wait a minute… did he just say 'I love Sakura Kinomoto'??????????????????????????????????
I softly murmured, afraid that when I would yell he wouldn't be there, "You're here….--"
"Shhhhhhhh…" He was real and he had this look in his eyes that I knew very well… It was the look I've had upon my face for the whole time I knew him… He was in love… ……….. AND WITH ME!
His face inched closer and I shivered as I felt a whisper of his breath already on my face… This feeling…I didn't want to let it go… I closed my eyes in jumbled thoughts until it all crashed down into a mind-blinding kiss…
~ You are
always gonna be my love
Itsuka dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made~
I felt my heart melting into his and my body as well. I could feel his heart beating against mine. That gentle steady beat…Beating with mine.
My soul lifted from my body and crashed right back down. I felt the jolt of my heart jump to my throat.
He broke away and stared into my eyes… It was as if he were searching for something…my soul… My soul that I've lost so long ago and right then and there I gained it all back.
He wiped away my tears with his thumb but it didn't seem to work… I just couldn't stop crying. My first and only love is here…with me.
~
Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugokidasou to shiteru
Wasuretakunai koto bakari~
My love…my first and only love… He was Syaoran Li… And he's here in my arms…
Now I'll never let go of him. Never did, never will.
~ashita no imagoro niwa
Watashi wa kitto naiteru
Anata wo omotterun darou~
Tears made their way down landing on his sweater, "I can't believe you're here…."
He smiled at me whispering, "I can't believe I'm in love…"
A watery smile trembled off my lips, "Syaoran…" I buried my face in his shoulder and inhaled the radiant summer scent of him…It was really quite soothing… I shuddered from his warm, comforting scent. It melted my troubles away… In fact…I don't think I have any more troubles. I have all I need…right here.
*~*…I thought I was falling in love with another person…when it was you all along…(Chapter 5)*~*
He gently caressed my back in soft circles as he pulled me into a tight embrace.
~ You will
always be inside my heart
Itsumo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made~
I felt so dizzy in his arms… I didn't think I'd ever be this happy to see him again. But then again this is all I ever wanted. A rush of content swirled and spun into my heart.
My vow to forget Syaoran lay forgotten…as well as the rest of the world.
I just wanted to hold him, love him, be with him… With my one… my only… my love… my Syaoran…
He lifted my chin again for another heart-warming kiss. A kiss that I know that I'll always remember…forever…
~You are always gonna be my love
Itsuka
dareka to mata koi ni ochitemo
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Mada
kanashii love song
Now and forever…~
Cherry blossom petals fell on us both as we were saturated in the love we've kept bottled up for so many years…so long ago… It was like a shower of stars that weaved its magic on us both…as Syaoran weaved his…
I don't think I could ever explain this wonderful feeling that overtook me. I thank God everyday for meeting a great man like Syaoran. My only love…
~&~&~
*~*NORMAL POV*~*
It was now nighttime and Syaoran and Sakura spent the whole day telling of their never-ending love for each other.
*~*BY THE BRIDGE*~*
Sakura leaned on the bridge as Syaoran snaked his arms around Sakura's waist.
She smiled as he whispered butterfly kisses upon her forehead.
She slowly turned to face him, "Why are you here…?"
"I should ask you the same…" He said with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Sakura felt the heat rise to her cheeks as she gave a sheepish grin, "…Right."
Syaoran chuckled, "So…?"
"Well…of course you read my letter…"
Syaoran's grin faded, "…Yeah…" he paused a moment, " But you see, when I read that letter, I felt my whole world crashing down… I thought I'd never be happy again…"
Sakura looked down at the ground in guilt, "I'm sorry…"
Sakura felt Syaoran lift her chin to meet her eyes, "But I was wrong… Because now I'm here with you…and I couldn't be any happier…"
And for the umpteenth time single tear rolled own her cheek as she hugged him tightly, "I love you…little wolf…"
"…Cherryblossom…"
It took all Sakura's willpower to break away. But she was tired, "It's getting late," she whispered faintly.
Syaoran glanced at his watch "You're right. C'mon… I'll walk you home."
~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***
The sound of crickets sounded throughout all of Hong Kong and the moon was as full and bright as ever. But the only sound Sakura and Syaoran would hear…was the beating of their hearts.
'Is that my heart or his that I hear???'
It felt like a blissful eternity until they reached Sakura's house.
"So I guess this is it?"
Syaoran walked Sakura to her front porch.
He smiled at her affectionately, "…Yeah…"
Sakura stayed quiet a moment then said, "How do I know we'll see each other again?"
"The stars will lead the way… They did last time… Just follow your heart."
All Sakura could do was smile, "I'll be sure to do that…"
He laughed, "I'm sure you will."
He kissed her gently on her temple as Sakura sighed in content, "G'night, Syao…"
"Good night…"
She watched him walk down the sidewalk, smiling like a fool. She then unlocked her door and shut it behind her.
Sakura leaned her back on the door as she gave out yet another sigh, 'Everything is so perfect…'
She got ready for bed and didn't bother to eat dinner. Her love for Syaoran was all she needed.
Sakura climbed into bed and lay under the stars, thinking of the only thought she had all day: 'Syaoran…Syaoran…Syaoran…'
And soon slumber took her over, leaving her to dream and dream about her heart's desire…until it would become reality.
**~***~~~~***~***~~~~***NEXT DAY***~~~~***~***~~~~***~**
"XIAOLANG!!!!!! XIAOLANG!!!"
Syaoran felt someone roughly prodding his shoulder and pinching his cheeks.
When he finally opened his eyes and saw who it was, he growled and buried his face in his pillow, "Get lost, Meiling!"
Meiling simply smiled as put her finger to her lips innocently and walked towards the door, "Fine then, dear Xiao Xiao. Then I'll just tell the elders that you were too grouchy to get up and talk to them!"
Syaoran popped up from his pillow, "Wait, wait! Just hold up a second. I'm cominnngg… And don't EVER call me Xiao Xiao again!!!!
He rolled out of bed and dragged himself to the elders' meeting room.
When he finally made it to the door, he knocked and Yelan answered the door, "Xiao Lang," Yelan had the utmost worried expression on her pale, delicate face, "Come Right in…--Oh Meiling, dear. You can't come in here, since as you've already heard the news…"
Syaoran quickly glanced over at Meiling with a glare of hatred as he wondered about 'the news'. And exactly how is Meiling involved in it? WHAT COULD IT BE???
