A/N: Ugh . . . THE FINAL CHAPTER AS YOU CAN SEE IT SAYS 'FINAL' IN THE CHAPTER TITLE. I'm practically combining two chapters in here because I want to finish this story.

Questions from the last chapter:

Why are some letters bold?

-The strange bolding in some letters is what I did out of randomness. I was trying to make Syaoran and other characters talk more dramatic-like and stuff. 0o

Did Eriol turn into Yue?

-Eriol turned into . . . read to find out. LoL. Too bad, I don't want to ruin the story.

And other questions may be answered as you finished reading EVERY word.


Chapter Twenty One- Final Step

"Stop!" Eriol shouted sternly. Sakura fell into the snow as Eriol made a hard landing onto the snow-covered ground. Her head was spinning around wildly as she sat there. The freezing snow and air were so unbearable but she kept her eyes wide open to watch as the scene unfolded from behind Eriol's dark blue, swaying cape.

Yukito flipped his gaze away from the unconscious Syaoran. He smiled evilly as he climbed up slowly, brushing snow from his white pants. His eyes were only on Eriol because he couldn't see Sakura buried in the pile of snow.

"Who are you?" he said in a velvety tone as he pranced towards Eriol. He stopped where he was when there was a strange pang in his heart. This spiky blue-hair boy made a negative feeling soar throughout his body. He didn't like it

Eriol raised an agitated eyebrow. "You don't know me?"

"Ah, are you that young man who came with Syaoran?" Yukito asked in a curious tone, "Are you Eriol?"

Eriol's grip on his Moon staff was firm and his eyes stared intently on Yukito's smooth features. "I am not Eriol for this time being. I have taken over his body to see you, personally. You have something that belongs to me." A low growl rumbled in his throat as he stared coldly.

Yukito wasn't scared anymore. This kid was insane. HE . . . not ERIOL? Yeah right! He picked up his ragged knife and went straight for Eriol.

Eriol didn't move from his stance. His gaze was calm. He wasn't afraid to die. No, he WON'T die.

Yukito's eyes widened when he couldn't bring himself to stab the boy. 'Why couldn't I attack him?' ...You can't . . . His conscious was talking to him again.'Why?' ...I won't let you . . . 'And why not!' ...That boy is the reincarnation of Clow . . .

"Clow?"

Eriol picked up his staff and whipped the knife from Yukito's hand. "Yes?"

"Argh! I'm going insane!" Yukito yelled.

Suddenly, Eriol dropped to the ground. His hair grew shorter until it was to its usually, soft blue color. His glasses appeared back on his face to lessen the effect of his intense azure eyes. His clothes were back to its original, boyish style as well. He was simply, Eriol again.

"Ah, what happened?" Eriol whispered as he shuddered.

"If I didn't come, then you could have died and you won't ever see seeds of you." Clow whispered a riddle as his voice faded away.

'Argh! What's up with that strange riddle?' Eriol's thoughts trailed off when he heard maniacal laughter. He looked up.

"Where am I? H-How," he stood up abruptly, "Yukito!" he yelled.

Yukito turned his head and his dark eyes shone like the devil. "What Eriol? Or Should I say Clow?"

He ran towards Eriol and clenched his fists as he shot a blow to Eriol's face. Eriol cried as he fell to the ground.

"I knew you were lying. Clumsy sorcerer! You were playing with my head weren't you?"

Eriol looked up with tears glazed over his eyes. "I d-don't know what you are talking about!"


Sakura heard a deep cry fill the air. She snapped out of her trance. "Eriol?" she whispered. She noticed that Eriol was back to his normal self. Before, she watched Yukito and Eriol talked back and forth when Eriol was all strange looking. Now who was this Clow person? Sakura's expression changed into a worry look. Where is Syaoran? The falling snow slowly became heavier and everything was masked white. Sakura crawled to her feet, trying to take attention away from herself so Yukito won't go after her.

She felt something, hard and warm underneath her. "Huh?"

She started to dig at the snow until she saw–

"Syaoran?" she whispered in a trembling tone. She dug quicker this time, freeing Syaoran from the cold slushes of melting snow on his body.

Sakura pulled him out, ignoring how heavy he was. "Syaoran-" she cried softly as she wrapped her arms around his waist to try to keep him warm and wake him up back to reality.

"S-Sakura," a soft murmur rumbled from his throat.

"Yes, I'm here." Tears were streaming down her face and freezing as they landed on the ground. "I came for you because I know all the truth. I love you."

"Sakura," Syaoran pleaded, "I'm so cold." He was still in his semiconscious state.

Sakura felt like she was crushed down to her bones at seeing how hopeless Syaoran looked. She wanted to faint right there and die. She couldn't believe all this. Right now she panicked at everything around her. Yukito was strong. Eriol was falling. She and Syaoran would freeze in this snow. Will her life end this soon?

So, she kissed him. She kissed him hard against the lips. If they were to die, she wanted to kiss him one last time to remember how it felt. It felt amazing. Syaoran cringed at the soft yet heated touch against his lips. His eyes snapped open and in his view was his love, crying her eyes out as if death was near. He kissed her back and broke it abruptly. He stood up, avoiding the numb feeling on his arms and legs. His eyes roamed around and landed on the fight of Yukito and Eriol. His eyes narrowed at Yukito as his fist clenched, cracking his knuckles.

"Yukito, " he hissed.

He stepped forward but a hand caught his wet sleeve. He turned around with tenderness glazed all over his eyes. "I have to save Eriol," he whispered kindly.

Sakura's lips turned up into a frail smile. "You need your sword then."

Syaoran smiled sheepishly as he gently took the sword from Sakura's hands. "Thank you."


Eriol was laying on the ground as Yukito stood over him with a knife in one hand and a staff in the other.

"Hmm. I can kill you with this nice, fine blade," Yukito snickered, "or I can kill you with your own weapon. A staff. Hmmm . . . how sad that you can't master it and you call yourself a sorcerer?"

Eriol cowered down. He has failed to save everyone. It was an embarrassment to every sorcerer out there. He had magic for goodness sake and couldn't defeat a man without magic. He had brought down his family and Clow. He shut his eyes tightly as Clow showed up in his head once more.

'Clow?' ...You are my reincarnation. You have my powers . . . 'What are you talking about Clow?' ...I took over your body because I noticed something inside Yukito, but I'm not sure . . . 'So, that's why you took over my body, to find out?' ...Yeah, and Yukito doesn't seem to know . . . 'Oh, so?' ...I want you to find out for me. I can't take over someone's body for a long period of time. So I had to leave. Now it's all for you to handle. Just use your magic . . .

"Ai," Eriol cried, yet, he felt no pain. Yukito stood still with the knife in his hand as sweat perspired from his tightened skin.

"I can't, my mind won't let me. My c-conscious. I think I'm going crazy. My mind just keeps talking to me!" Yukito spoke in a bewildered voice. His eyes averted to Syaoran. His features slowly replaced with anger.

"I should have killed you hours ago!" he hissed.

"Your luck is long drained!" Syaoran shouted. He waved his blade high in the air and struck down. A long line ran down Yukito's shirt and it ripped open and fell to the ground. Blood began to seep from the small cut Syaoran had made.

Yukito grinned madly. He had the staff in his hand and pointed it at Syaoran. His eyes widened.

"Ah, no!"

A blue beam exploded from the tip of the Moon-crescent staff and at Syaoran. Syaoran jumped to the ground and the beam passed him and blasted a hole in three pine trees, letting it crack and fall . . . over Sakura.

"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled. He ran to her but wasn't fast enough because the snow slowed him down. Sakura looked up in shock.

"Sakura." Yukito whispered. He dropped the staff and ran to her, but Syaoran beat him to it and pushed Sakura out of the way. After the trees had fallen, Syaoran coughed as the pupils in his eyes grew large. His head whirled around as his eyes roamed crazily.

Blood spilled. It spilled a lot and mixed into white snow making a deadly pink color come to life.

Syaoran gasped. His shaky fingers went behind him and felt around his back until his fingers met a handle. When he added pressure, he would cringe. It was too much pain! His eyes turned around to meet Yukito's calm gaze.

A scream echoed from Sakura's mouth as she watched Syaoran collapse to the ground. Yue's emotionless gaze fell on Sakura's sad gaze. She had hatred in her eyes as she crouched next to Syaoran's fallen body.

"Sakura, I-

She turned away from him as she wailed loudly, clutching her fingers onto Syaoran's blood-caked shirt. "Syaoran . . . "

Yue looked away. He had never seen that much hurt in her eyes. He turned around and a frown formed across his tired features.

A heavy blue beam came towards him as a tear swept down his face. He was hit, followed by a loud, painful scream as it rumbled from his chest. After the blast of the blue beam, his form was still there but his body began to surround into a soft, pale white light.

Eriol looked up in astonishment. Yukito's skin ripped away as wings began to unfold from his back and stretch out into its full-fledge form. His eyes changed from icy blue to a much lighter color. His snow-white hair grew longer into beautiful long white strands.

Eriol brought up his staff with wobbly fingers. The angel took out his hand to motion Eriol to stop what he was doing under the heavy blizzard.

"Please, don't," whispered the angel in a soft, smooth, male tone, "I am no longer the cruel Yukito."

Eriol quirked an eyebrow as he dropped his staff to his side. "Who are you then?"

"I am Yue, your new guardian. I never meant for all of this to happen." Yue began to explain, "A very long time ago, there was a Reed Kingdom that existed. A very powerful Sorcerer named Clow Reed ruled that kingdom." Yue looked to Sakura, "He may seem mean to you, but he's really nice." He turned back to Eriol, "That long ago, he created me to protect him from all sorts of evil. When that day came, I don't know what happened at the time though, but I was protecting Clow from this evil force and I ended up dying along with Clow right behind me. They destroyed the Reed Kingdom to get rid of all magic so they could be the only magical forces alive. But. There were still sorcerers and sorceresses out there who survived. They started rebuilding the kingdom but renaming it Hiiragizawa Kingdom instead to take away all suspicion if any magic was involved there. Since I was the first to die, I reincarnated into Yukito's body and Clow was reincarnated into your body."

"But the Hiiragizawa Kingdom was destroyed too and you couldn't find Clow after that because he was at the Li Kingdom, right?"

Yue smiled, his soft features glowing. "Yes, and I was at the Kinomoto Kingdom. I am finally happy to be reunited with you again master."

Eriol nodded and smiled proudly. A muffled cry came from Sakura's lips and Yue turned around in a swift motion.

"Sakura?"

"Y-Yes?" Sakura said in a hoarse voice as her gaze dropped down quickly.

"Since my false form killed Syaoran. Maybe I can revive him." Yue floated down from the sky, letting his wings flutter in a smooth wavering motion. He came down towards the dirt ground in an elegant flight. He set his foot near Syaoran and turned him around to remove the knife from his back. The blood began to seep out in massive amounts until the snow stained blood red. The beautiful white snow was tainted. As Sakura watched, she felt herself go woozy. Her eyes were still streaming crystal tears. She was so melancholy.

Yue pressed his hands onto Syaoran's back and a small, white light escaped his palms and it quickly closed up Syaoran wounds.

"I closed up his wounds and healed up any broken veins and punctured organs. Now, I'll leave the rest of him to heal on his own because my powers are very limited as of right now."


They were at the Kinomoto castle and it has been a week so far that Syaoran didn't wake up. He was in a coma. Sakura would always sit by his bedside and cry for him.

"Syaoran, please wake up. I love you," whispered Sakura. She would hold his hand, wanting him to squeeze back as well.

Yue sat solemnly near the window as he watched Sakura's sad gestures. Eriol was in Fujitaka's office talking with Touya and Fujitaka to have Sakura come back to the Li Kingdom. Sakura was the only one that could possibly bring Syaoran out of the dreadful coma. They agreed and also agreed that Sakura should stay by Syaoran's side as in marriage.

"Yue."

Yue looked at Sakura's dramatic face.

"Yes, Sakura?"

"Will he ever wake up?" Sakura said in a harsh tone.

"I cannot predict anything. Just wait and see."


A girl with long light purple hair gazed sadly out the window. She had waited one month for the return of her love and friends. She had waited too long. The castle was quiet, like it was bare because the king and queen were gone. The queen, Meilin, had left with that servant boy because she had gotten pregnant and she doesn't love Syaoran anymore. Syaoran wouldn't be sad anyway. He has Sakura.

She started to dust at the frames, only to stop when she felt a slight kick to her stomach. She rubbed her gently rounded belly as she continued to look outside in the mid-afternoon.

"Eriol," a soft sigh escaped her lips as she whispered the name of her love.

She missed him dearly and worries had caught up to her every night in her sleep. She dreaded that he would never return. Her eyes widened when she saw in the far distance, a man with wings, cradling someone in his arms. She saw a girl . . . Sakura? And, ERIOL! Her face flashed with joy.

She ran outside, disobeying the many insulting yells coming from from Ms. Mikuto.

"Eriol!" she cried as she opened up her arms.

Eriol eyes lit open. "To-Tom-oyo!" He smiled brightly and ran quickly to her to pick her up in the air and swayed her all around.

"Oi, Eriol. Careful." Tomoyo twinged, "I am having a baby."

Eriol caught her lips in a passionate kiss. He grinned happily. So that's what Clow meant by, 'If I didn't come, then you could have died and you won't ever see seeds of you.' Clow was saying how Eriol won't ever see his child if he ever did die. 'Thank you Clow.' Eriol thought. His inner conscious where Clow rested, whispered mentally back to him . . . no problem . . .

Yue interrupted, "Where should I put him master?"

Tomoyo looked up in confusion, 'master'? She wanted to ask questions but the bundle in his arm was Syaoran. She felt a sad gaze burning into her. She looked up in that direction to see that the somber look was Sakura's. Her grieving features drove deep into her emerald eyes and into her heart.

"Sakura," Tomoyo whispered soothingly. Sakura jumped into her arms and cried.

"I don't know when he'll ever wake up."

As the days progressed, Syaoran continued to lay sleeping on his bed, at home in his castle. Everything had changed in the castle. It was much welcoming because Eriol made some changes to it. He knew that Syaoran wouldn't mind that much at least.

Sakura entered Syaoran's room with a bunch of peonies and cherry blossoms in her hands. They had the freshest fragrance ever and they perfumed the whole room into a lovely scent. She put them into the vase as she stared gloomily at Syaoran's unmoving features.

She sat down and clasped her hands onto her lap as she rested her head against the cushion of the chair.

"I've waited a long time," Sakura whispered as her eyes blurred with tears, "I've waited too long that my heart is already damaged because it seems as if your presence is no longer there."

Sakura wiped away the tears as she let a soft sigh escaped her lips. "I can't live without you. I just can't," her voice cracked as she erupted into sobs. "I just love you too much."

"Please, just wake up." She gazed down at his calm features. His chestnut bangs framed his forehead and part of his closed eyes. He looked very peaceful, very handsome. She bent down slowly and placed a kiss on top of his lips. She was surprised that they reacted back to her. The kiss deepened and ended up in a steamy, more passionate kiss. Her eyes snapped opened as she realized something. She broke the kiss and an upset groan met her ears.

She looked up into fierce amber eyes as they gazed back at her. A mischievous smirk graced his face as love filled his eyes.

"Miss me?"

The End


A/N: I hope that wasn't too confusing. I tried to explain everything, but I'll explain again. Yukito was talking to himself because he was really talking to Yue. Clow rested dormantly inside Eriol but wakes up when he sensed Yue. He takes over Eriol's body to find Yue but was met with Yukito instead. Eriol killed Yukito afterwards and ends up freeing Yue in the process because he can't die by Clow's magic.
