No Difference Between You and Me
Chapter 19 – Epilogue
It was a bright and cheerful morning, the sun was shining the bird were singing, the wind blew softly send cool air in Sakura's bright and cheerful, not to mention very pink room. A small skinny appeared in the sheets, and she slowly stretched her arms, feeling the cheerfulness that life gave her each day.
"Ah!" she yawned and looked at her calendar and squealed. It was her birthday and almost a year since what happened to Kanomi and her lovable donor.
"I wonder what I'm doing today?" she thought out old since she lived alone but that didn't mean that Syaoran didn't sleep over almost every single day. Today he was busy and went out for business. She got out of bed and walked over to her bathroom and started the tub, filling it with hot water. She stripped down her clothing and stepped into the bathtub. She sighed in bliss, thanking god everyday with a morning prayer that she was alive and well.
"What if she says no?" Syaoran asked Eriol nervously not caring that it did show. Eriol chuckled getting a glare from Syaoran but ignored it.
"My, my, my! Li Syaoran nervous for the first time! That's new!" Eriol teased as Syaoran let a smile come upon his lips.
"It's not the first time," he said bluntly shocking Eriol who opened his mouth to say something but decided that it was not important.
"Okay whatever, but she'll say yes if she loves you enough, and don't worry about that because we know that she does!" Eriol said assuring Syaoran who calmed down and slowed down his walking.
"Arigato," Syaoran said looking ahead, ignoring the shocked look that Eriol gave him.
"No problem," he said as they walked into a store, picking out some new clothing to surprise the girls – wait – that would definitely surprise the girl tonight.
Sakura walked down the stairs in her freshly ironed white t-shirts and short beige shorts, and white sneakers. Her hair up in a high ponytail and put on a little make-up not that she needed it anyway. She walked right into the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"Um… guess I'm having cereal today!" she said out loud taking put the milk, and closed the refrigerator, and opened the cupboard door beside it and took out honey-nut cereal (I love that kind ). She placed her breakfast on the counter but before she started eating, she took out the pills that her doctor prescribed to her after her operation. Suddenly her phone started to ring.
"Hello?" she said picking it up quickly since it was beside her.
"Hey!" Tomoyo said cheerfully. Sakura smiled and started pouring milk into a bowl and dumped some cheerios into it also.
"What's up?" she asked since they didn't see each other for a week, but it was because Tomoyo had company meetings and had travel to different cities.
"Nothing much," Tomoyo replied playing with her hair, she looked at the big picture on her bedroom wall that had contained Sakura, herself, Eriol and Syaoran acting foolishly.
"What are you doing today?" Sakura asked trying to strike up a conversation and eat her cereal at the same time.
"WE have to run down to a photo shoot today at 11 pm and then pick outfits for tonight since they guys said they felt the need to go clubbing since we didn't go for awhile," Tomoyo said laughing a bit.
"Sounds like your jammed and packed up today!" Sakura joked giggling.
"Yea, I'll come pick you up in half and hour... and oh! By the way how are you feeling?" Tomoyo asked out of the blue. Sakura laughed, wondering if there was a day when Tomoyo would ask how she was feeling.
"Great, I'll see you then," Sakura replied happily, knowing that Tomoyo was looking out for her safety since the operation.
"Good, bye!"
"Ciao!" Sakura said hanging up the phone and returned to her cereal which gone mushy because of the phone call. She took a spoon and eat it, smacking her lips; the day was going great so far and wondered if there were any more surprised held out for her.
"Mou! Tomoyo! You always love picking the tackiest outfits!" Sakura whined while the photographer gave her thumbs up taking another picture. Tomoyo laughed, giving off her evil looks making Sakura frown even more.
"Sakura darling, we need for you to smile not frown!" the photographer said making sigh then give a bright smile. SNAP! Another picture was taken, probably the 100th one. Tomoyo clapped her hands for a take five and walked over to Sakura.
"Great job Sakura!" Tomoyo said happily making Sakura grunt.
"Easy for you to say, you're not the one wearing this outfit!" Sakura complained pointing to her two piece swim suit. It was hot pink outlined in white; sometimes she would wear just that or a white skirt on top of it. Tomoyo laughed evilly and pat Sakura shoulder.
"Things we do for best friends!" Tomoyo teased, Sakura stuck out her tongue then laughed, "Have you thought of an outfit yet?" she added asking Sakura, stumping her. Sakura totally forgot about the new outfits they were going to wear tonight.
"I totally forgot!" Sakura exclaimed, Tomoyo shook her head with a bright smile.
"Figures, you're Sakura, if you didn't forget that you wouldn't be her," Tomoyo said laughing, "I have took the liberty of choosing your outfit!" she said politically. Sakura laughed and nodded, seeing the cameramen coming back.
"You know, I'm hungry who about lunch and the rest of the day off?" Tomoyo suggested feeling Sakura's uneasiness. She nodded eagerly but thought about something.
"What about your pictures?" she asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, there should be at least one great picture that we can use!" Tomoyo stated giggling picking up Sakura's bag that contained changing clothes and her purse as they walked out of the studio.
"Thanks Tomoyo!" Sakura said taking the bag and ran off to the ladies changing room. Tomoyo waved with a happy glint in her eyes.
"You don't be worrying about and don't even think about running off without me!" she joked seeing the door close. She sighed and her cell phone started ringing. She took it out of her purse and saw it was Eriol.
"Hi!" she said enthusiastically. She heard a smirk and a chuckle on the phone and guess Syaoran was with him.
"Hey beautiful, how's Sakura doing?" he asked lovingly. Tomoyo giggled and went to a corner to talk privately since everybody in the hall was looking at her, which didn't making it any more private then being the studio.
"Great, you still clubbing tonight?" she asked, more like whispered.
"Yes, you girls have fun at lunch but be home before eight," he said fatherly. Tomoyo laughed then glanced at the ladies changing room door, which opened and out came Sakura in tight black Capri's and white t-shirt with sneakers. Her hair was let down and her eyes shone, she looked fantastic.
"Yes father, I got to go, love ya bye!" Tomoyo said before she hung up and ran to Sakura who was busily looking for her.
"What was that you said about me running off?" Sakura said raising a brow at her who giggled nervously. They both walked out arms linked and happy smile and entered in Tomoyo's car. The zoomed down the road, leaving dust behind them.
"That was great, we should do that more often," Sakura said gasping for breath since she was screaming from the fun of driving really fast. Tomoyo nodded and pointed at the back seat where a nicely big pink gift bag that sat on the seat. Sakura wondered whom it was for. (Very dense today are we Sakura?)
"Think of it as an early present birthday girl!" Tomoyo stated getting a shocked look from Sakura.
"You remember?" Sakura said taking the bag from the back, and couldn't wait to open it when she got home.
"Of course! What kind of a best friend would I be to forget me own best friend's birthday!" Tomoyo said making Sakura laugh.
"A forgetful one!"
"Ha ha! Very funny!" Tomoyo said pretending to look hurt but seeing the bright smile from Sakura, she couldn't help but smile also.
"Now to lunch!" Tomoyo said zooming down the empty lane, making Sakura scream for joy feeling the wind brush by her refreshing her mind.
Night
"They'll be here don't worry!" Eriol said, reassuring Syaoran who was currently pacing back and forth in his living room, wondering what made the girls so late. Syaoran and Eriol gave a little more freedom for the girls after what happened with Kanomi, who was still in prison.
"Worry?" Syaoran said looking at him, and raised a brow at him.
"Yeah worry, besides when did Li Syaoran started worrying?" Eriol teased getting another glare from Syaoran, "Must be a first," he murmured and ignored the death look Syaoran gave him.
"Do always have to joke?" Syaoran asked annoyed but sincerely admired Eriol for trying to lighten their mood during awkward or tough situations. Eriol nodded proudly and stuck up his middle finger and smiled evilly at Syaoran who returned the smile.
"Back at ya!" Syaoran said making both of them laugh. They could hear tires screeching on the streets and guessed that it would probably be the girls since they loved racing. They both walked onto the porch and looked over at the street seeing Tomoyo and Sakura ride up in Tomoyo's Mercedes Benz. They guys raised their eyebrows seeing them pull in and get out laughing crazily.
"What?" Sakura asked, seeing the guys stare at her and Tomoyo. She stifled a laugh when they found out they were staring.
"See what I told you Sakura, our looks are to die for!" Tomoyo joked walking to Eriol kissing him soundly on the lips.
"At least we don't have to go through pain," Eriol whispered in her ear, pulling her into his arms. Tomoyo yelped as he took her in his and rocked side to side slowly making Tomoyo laugh.
"That is what Syaoran thought before he rescued my from the death god!" Sakura said laughing and walked into Syaoran who had open arms up for her. He whispered something in her ear that made her laugh, sounding like bells to Syaoran.
"Well, at least there is a part of me with her," he replied back evenly getting a kiss from Sakura who gave him a tight hug and he returned it with the same amount of force.
"Thank god for that," Sakura joked as they walked hand in hand back into the house. Tomoyo retreated and got their bags from the car and walked into the house last.
"So what club are we going to?" Syaoran asked Tomoyo who was in the kitchen with Sakura looking into the fridge wondering what was there to eat. (I'm hungry; maybe I should stop thinking about food ne?)
"There's this new one called Wild Wolves, sounds cool," she replied taking some food and ingredients out from the cupboard so that they could prepare for dinner.
"Well, all we know is that Syaoran will fit in," Sakura joked laughing as Syaoran attacked her with tickles leaving her breathless. She moved out of his arms, giggling when he pouted, and went to help Tomoyo heat up yesterday's meal they had together.
"Where's Eriol?" Tomoyo asked wondering where he was since he wasn't in the kitchen. Syaoran shrugged and helped out Sakura with the salad and Eriol suddenly came into the kitchen surprising them.
"Boo!" he teased seeing the girl's spooked faces.
"That wasn't funny," Tomoyo snap at him making him loose his smile as he walked up to her, wrapping his arms around her waist making her shiver.
"Then let me make it up to you," he whispered huskily his head in her neck, attacking it with feverish kisses. She giggled turned around giving him a stern look which made him hesitantly let go of her and helped her out instead. Dinner that night was the humorous but no one knew why?
Club
Are you ready?
"Isn't this a little wild Tomoyo?" asked Sakura, who nervously stepped into the loud banging club. She was wearing a sparkly pink halter top and a short black leather skit with knee black boots. She didn't like the fact she got a lot of attention but it went away when she felt Syaoran's hand in hers.
"Nope, this is good music…" Tomoyo said trailing off getting them a table and headed towards the bar.
"That's Tomoyo for ya," Sakura joked getting and laugh from the guys. Syaoran was wearing tight black shirt with a forest green button shirt on top and baggy black jeans. Eriol was wearing the exact same but different colors.
You call me on the phone, and act like nothings going on! We're driving in my car; I pretend that you don't turn me on
"You know it's been a long time since we've been to a club ever since…" Eriol said then trailed off not wanting to remind them of their terrible years in the past.
"Yeah," Sakura breathed out into the silence between them. Tomoyo returned with four bottles of beer but that was all they were going to take since they were driving, not wanting any problems tonight.
"So Sakura, how did the photo shoot go?" Syaoran asked Sakura who flushed remembering what she had to wear. She gave Tomoyo a look who just laughed.
(Hi) You're a sexy thang and you know it (Yeah), (Hi) you move the ride and now you show it
"Okay, I guess since I had to wear a two piece bathing suit," Sakura said giving Tomoyo a glare who returned it with an innocent smile. Syaoran chuckled caressed Sakura cheek making her feel a lot better.
"You looked in it too," Tomoyo added sipping her beer getting a playful slap from Sakura.
"Want to go dance?" Eriol asked Tomoyo after getting a look from Syaoran. She nodded eagerly and took his hand dragged him down to the center of the dance floor. Sakura looked at them giggling then turned to look at Syaoran who returned the smile.
I'm not in love, it's just phase that I'm going through, I'm always lookin' for something new, now don't go running away
"You look good," Sakura leaning in and sniffed him, "and smell good too!" she exclaimed getting a chuckle from him.
"But as good and smelly like you," Syaoran replied back evenly, looking deep into her eyes. Sakura automatically lowered her gaze to his lips and back into his eyes. She licked her lips when Syaoran leaned over.
"Mmm," she said moaning as he parted her tongue and tasted her cherry flavor. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss with as much force, showing him how much she loved him. When they pulled apart for air, she almost cried from being frustrated and from the loss of heat.
It's almost three am, and I hoping that you're gonna go! The way you're moving in so close, I'm trying hard not to close control!
"Want to get out of here," Syaoran said leaning his forehead with hers. She nodded and laughed, turning to look at Eriol and Tomoyo who were too busy lost in their dancing and kissing to notice them slip by.
"So where we going?" Sakura asked, hand in hand, trying to push their way in the crowd. When they reached outside, they both took a deep breath since they were slightly breathless, because of the mob. They reached their car in silence, "Where ARE we going?" Sakura said emphasizing 'are' to Syaoran who just winked at her.
"You'll see, I'd like you to close your eyes," Syaoran said, while Sakura closed her eyes and they pulled their car out of the crowd and zoomed wildly during the night making Sakura shrieking laughing hysterically.
(Hi) You're a sexy thang and you know it (Yeah), (Hi) you move the ride and now you show it
"Are we there yet?" Sakura asked when Syaoran turned up the volume of his stereo that was built inside his car. Syaoran chuckled at her eagerness and stubbornness, which was one of the things why he loved her.
"Nope," he replied smiling.
"It's been half an hour, here I am with my eyes closed and in a car with you driving me somewhere I don't know, this better be good," she said grumbling folding her arms sulking into her seat.
"It will be worth it dear," Syaoran said leaned forwards giving her kiss on the cheek, making her lightened up and sat up straight.
I'm not in love, it's just phase that I'm going through, I'm always lookin' for something new, now don't go running away (ah!)
"Are we there yet?" Sakura asked again making Syaoran laugh.
"Yes," Syaoran said finally, the words that Sakura has been always wanted to hear for the past hour, "but don't open your eyes," he ordered as Sakura still kept them closed and opened her door and stepped out. She felt Syaoran take her hand and lead her somewhere then suddenly stopped abruptly.
"You can open you eyes now," Syaoran said making Sakura open them eagerly and gasping at the same time.
"Oh my!" she said looking around the beautiful beach scene. It was dark but the full moon gave them more then enough light, and the water splashed onto the shore like light floating in the air.
I'm not in love, I try to tell myself all the time, I just can't help how I feel denied, so don't go running away!
"Beautiful?" Syaoran asked from behind. Sakura stood there taking it all in and then turned back at Syaoran, who smiled sincerely.
"More like amazing, and yes beautiful," she said giving him a tight hug, and he returned it with the same force. He felt coldness and water on the crook on his neck and looked down to see Sakura crying and wiping away tears.
"What's wrong?" he asked worrying that he did something wrong. Sakura looked at him with bright shining eyes filled with tears as she choked out a laugh.
I'm not in love (yeah) I'm not in love
"Nothing's wrong silly," she said finally giving him a playful slap on the shoulder, making him calm down. She gave him seductive smile and turned around taking off her boots and socks and ran into the water that brushed past her knees.
"Watch who you're calling silly," Syaoran said, pretending to be hurt but the hurt face went away after he saw her smile, her face glowing in the moonlight. He took of his shoes and shocks and rolled up his pants and went after her. They chased each other in the water until they were both breathless and collapsed on the sand away from the water.
"We should do the more often," Sakura taking deep breaths, Syaoran nodded as well deciding this would be the perfect time to ask her the big question. He got up and leant her a hand, as she got up as well. They both looked at each other lovingly until Syaoran kissed her hand and went down on one knee.
(Hi) You're a sexy thang and you know it (Yeah), (Hi) you move the ride and now you show it
"Wha-?" Sakura said shocked from the sudden position Syaoran did and hoped that it meant what she thought it meant because she couldn't be happier.
"Sakura Kinimoto, I would like to say a few things before I say something else," Syaoran teased her by using her full name, she giggled nervously and waited for him to continue, "before I met you four years ago, my life was dull and dark and nothing I had had a spark, until you came into my life, taking me over with your beauty, kindness, stubbornness and being the woman you truly are," Syaoran said, Sakura looked at him smiling brightly holding back sobs but the tears didn't not cease to stop.
I'm not in love, it's just phase that I'm going through, I'm always lookin' for something new, now don't go running away
"Syaoran I-" Sakura wanted to say something but Syaoran cut her off, feeling nervous since they was the main question.
"No, let me Sakura, will you make me the happiest man in the world by marrying me?" Syaoran said, finally getting the words out in the right order because in the previous attempts he failed miserably. Sakura pulled him up to his feet and looked into his eyes and showed her great love, sincerity and trust. She nodded her head slowly and smile appeared on her lips.
"I would like nothing more Li Xiao Lang to be your wife," Sakura said getting crushed into a hug from him as he thanked god that said yes, and this time it wasn't a dream, it was real and reality. The let go of each other and looked into each other eyes, showing each other's love and longing.
I'm not in love, I try to tell myself all the time, I just can't help how I feel denied, so don't go running away!
"And you won't regret it, I love you Mrs. Li Xiao Lang," Syaoran said sincerely, Sakura smiled brightly and stepped closer to him wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I love you too little wolf or should I say Mr. Li Xiao Lang?" Sakura teased as the both leaned together to seal their love with a kiss, a love to great to be broken. They both stood there hand and hand looking up to the stars wishing on them to live together for eternity.
Nothing could get in between them…
Not the slightest thing…
Because they've got each other, and no difference between them…
Which is the whole reason why love is so fulfilling, beautiful…
And rewarding…
Elsewhere …
A lonely man sat in his prison cell leaning back on the wall with revenge plots racing through his mind. He was furious that he was knocked out by just a kid who was a hell lot younger than him.
"I swear when I get out of here, I'm going to get him!" he threatened under he breath.
"What did you say?" the man sitting above him asked with goofy smile.
"Nothing just about my wife and kids that's all," he replied putting a on a fake smile.
"Oh!" the man said.
'What till I get my hands on you Li, just you wait!' he thought then rested back on his pillow, falling asleep with murderous dreams.
The end or is it?
