Epilogue 1: The Proposal

The crowd cheered as the principal gave out the diploma to a guy. The Angels of the Light all sat together in the back row, near the parents. "Sakura's next!" Rika squeaked in excitement. Chiharu laughed. "Calm down, Rika!" Meiling looked at them while toying with her diploma. "Hush guys!"

"Now, the Student of the Year!" the principal announced. "Sakura 'Emerald' Kinomoto!"

"Whoo hoo!" Meiling cheered as she and the rest stood up. "Sakura!!" Tomoyo cried as she held her video camera. Syaoran watched with a smile as Sakura, dressed in a white cap and gown, was walking towards the principal. She took his place in front of the mic and cleared her throat. The cheering died down and she smiled at everyone. "Hello, my name is Sakura. I want to thank all the parents for coming to this special day. And I want to congratulate the class of 2017! Good job guys, we made it!!"

Everyone stood and cheered again. "We made it, baby!!" Rika laughed. "Great job, Sakura!!" Kaho said as they all finished the ceremony. Sakura blushed and smiled back. "Thanks Kaho." Touya smirked as he patted his little sister's head.

"Congrats, kaiju."

Sakura was about to retort when she noticed Syaoran coming her way. "Syaoran!" she smiled as she lunged at him. Syaoran laughed as he caught her. "Are you busy today?" Sakura asked. Syaoran shook his head, grinning. "Nope, why you ask?" he asked. Sakura replied. "I need you to come with me to the cemetery."

Syaoran looked at her for a bit then realized what she meant by that. He nodded again and hugged her tight. "Sure, Sakura."

"So, what are you lovebirds up to?" Meiling teased as everyone else joined them.

"How bout a party to celebrate?" Chiharu suggested. Sakura shook her head, a sad smile playing on her lips. "Nah, let's save that for tomorrow. Today, I wanna go see someone." She said. She turned to Syaoran and said. "Meet me at the cemetery at noon, ok?" she turned and walked off, startling her friends. "What's up with Sakura? Naoko asked worriedly. "She seemed pretty sad." Takashi commented.

Syaoran looked at her walking towards her car.

"Sakura…………….." he said.

-------Sakura's House-------

Kaho, Touya, and Sakura said nothing as they came inside the great mansion. "You hungry, Sakura?" Kaho asked Sakura. Sakura faked a smile and shook her head.

"No thank you. I'm going to my room for a while, I'm pretty tired." She said as she walked upstairs to her room. "I wonder what's wrong with Sakura." Kaho said in concern. Touya said nothing as he watched his sister go to her room.

Sakura threw her hat on her chair and went towards her bed. She sat and looked at her parents' picture. Tears swelled in her eyes as they fell on her mother's cheerful face. Her door opened and Touya came in. he saw his sister, still in her gown, sitting on her bed. She turned to look at him and he saw the silent tears trickling down her cheeks. He sat down next to her and took her into his embrace. Sakura wrapped her arms around his waist and began to cry. Touya felt his heart tear as he saw his young sister cry and he knew why she was crying. She missed their parents, more than ever today. "It's okay, Sakura…………." He whispered soothingly as he gently smoothed her back. Sakura sobbed as more tears rained down her face. "I-I miss Mommy and Daddy, Oniichan………." She choked out in tears. Touya closed his eyes as he held Sakura's trembling body close to his.

--------The Cemetery--------

Syaoran waited at the entrance of the cemetery, completely nervous. Few Hours ago, he went shopping with Meiling for something very special for Sakura. They were at the jewelry store, looking at the goodies. Syaoran frowned in frustration.

"Damn! I just can't find the right one!!" he said. Meiling laughed and tapped him on the shoulder. "Look, Syaoran-baby." She pointed to their front. He looked and saw what she was pointing at. In the middle of all the rings, there was a beautiful silver ring with a cherry blossom made of pink crystals for its five petals and in the middle, a small emerald. "That's perfect!" Syaoran smiled. Meiling giggled. "Men, so lost without a woman's touch." She commented. Syaoran smirked at her. "Now you're just showing off."

Meiling smiled at the young clerk, who was staring at her with wide eyes. "Excuse me; can you get us that cherry blossom ring?" The boy blushed and nodded. He opened the crystal case and took out the ring. Syaoran paid the ring and the boy gave it to him in a small, white box. "Let's go, Meiling." Syaoran said as he turned to leave. Meiling turned to the boy and flashed him another smile. "Thanks, sweetheart." She purred at him before leaving with Syaoran. The clerk just looked dazed.

"Syaoran!" Sakura's voice made him come back from memory lane. He saw Sakura coming towards him, wearing a white dress with a big white hat with a green ribbon on it. She carried two white roses in her hands as she smiled at him. "Thank you for coming." Syaoran smiled back at her and waved his hand. "Nah, don't mention it."

"Follow me." Sakura started towards the gravestones. Without any words, Syaoran followed her. A few seconds later, they came across a couple of gravestones made of marble. A statue of an angel stood on top of each grave. "Please wait for me." Sakura smiled sadly as she turned to him. Syaoran nodded. He could see the shadows in her green eyes even though she tried to hide it. She was very sad today, because she missed her parents. Sakura kneeled before the two graves and holding the roses in her joined hands, she bent her head and began to pray. Syaoran was fidgeting with the box as he watched Sakura do her prayers. Sakura's hair was a soft curtain of soft auburn as her lips trembled. A tear slid down her face as she prayed from deep in her heart to her parents' souls.

"Mommy, Daddy, I finally did it. I have avenged Mommy's death. I know it is wrong to kill, that it's a sin, but I just couldn't find peace in my heart until I avenged her death. Daddy, Mommy…………..I wish you were there with me at my graduation. I'll be going to Tokyo U, where you two met and fell in love……….Mommy, I found the one meant for me. I know we're destined to be together. I'll try my best to make him happy with me, just like he makes me happy. I miss you both and I love you…………" her prayers were a soft voice in her head as prayed.

Sakura then opened her eyes, her tears fresh on her face. She placed a rose on each of her parents' graves and stood up slowly, letting the breeze dry her tears. Syaoran saw her stand and got really nervous. He knows that if he does this, he'll have to take Sakura to Hong Kong to meet his family. But, he wanted to be with her forever, so he had to ask her.

Sakura turned back to him and finally gave him the smile she always gave him.

"Syaoran…………" she touched his cheek. "I thank you for being here with me. It gave me strength to come here after all what's happened. It means a lot to me." she said softly. Syaoran looked deep into her eyes, making Sakura look at him in confusion. "Hoe?" she said in a cute voice. Syaoran smiled at her innocence. Even though she was no longer a virgin, she still had her innocence. Syaoran kneeled before her, now completely sure and confident what he was going to do.

"Sakura………" he took her hand. Sakura blushed; getting a hint of what was he up to. "I love you, more than anyone. You're everything to me, all I'll ever want. I want to be with you for all my life, protecting you with me very life. So I am asking you, Sakura Kinomoto, will you marry me?" he smiled gently at her as he took out the box, opened it, and slid the ring in Sakura's ring finger. Sakura gasped as she stared at the ring. It was so beautiful! She looked at Syaoran, tears of happiness shinning in her eyes. She threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Yes, Syaoran Li, I'll marry you!"

Syaoran laughed in relief mixed with his own happiness as he stood back up and swung Sakura around, making her laugh.

"I love you, Syaoran!" she cried in laughter, her tears cold from the gentle blow of the wind. Syaoran smiled and hugged her body tighter to his. "Sakura, I love you too!"

---------Eriol's Mansion---------

Everyone was crowded in Eriol's living room, chatting at high speed with excitement. "Nuh uh! You think Syaoran's gonna do it?" Naoko asked Meiling. Meiling smiled at her. "I know he will. I have faith in Syaoran." She said in confidence. Then, they all heard the sound of a car pull up. "It's Syaoran and Sakura!!" Rika squealed, quite excited. Everyone instantly quieted down and waited patiently. Syaoran and Sakura, holding hands, entered the room. Seeing everyone there, Sakura squeaked, pulled her hand free from Syaoran's grasp, and covered her mouth. Syaoran looked pretty amused at her reaction. Everyone then saw the ring in Sakura's finger. "He did it!" Tomoyo gasped as she got her camera to tape the ring. Sakura blushed deep red. "Way to go, Syaoran!" Eriol laughed as he slapped Syaoran's back. "Is everything ready to go?" Syaoran asked. "You betcha!" Chiharu said as they all stood aside and revealed the drinks and the food. Sakura turned to Syaoran with a raised eyebrow. "You planned this didn't you?" she asked.

Syaoran smiled innocently at her. "Did I?"

Sakura grinned and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Everyone!" she said to her friends. "You're seeing the future Mrs. Li!" she said.

"WHOO HOO!" Everyone cheered. "Bring on the music!" Takashi said. Chiharu went to the radio and turned it up, making the music loud.

"Congrats, Sakura!" Meiling and Tomoyo said as they hugged Sakura. Sakura laughed. "Let's all go to Tokyo U together!" she shouted.

"HAI!" everyone shouted back. Sakura looked out the window at the starry night.

"Mommy, Daddy, watch over me and keep everyone I love safe, even my friends and my fiancé." She smiled.
