Recaping the last chapter...
Yukito took the box and opened it. "Hey, this is the one Sakura was looking at, in the magazine, right Toya?" he said as he showed the necklace to Touya.
Touya looked at the necklace and nodded. "So, when you said that you want Sakura to be your wife, there was only one thing in my mind why you said that. Your dad's will right?"
And Syaoran nodded. He sighed as he took the box from Yukito. "Well, tomorrow's the day. You'll help me, right?"
"Yup, I guess so." Touya and Yukito answered and they left their room.
...x...
December 16
Sakura awakened, yet still groggy and tired but she forced herself to sit in an upright position. Taking one glance at the clock, her eyes widened. It was already 7! Sigh. In need of getting ready soon, she stretched and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
"This is it. This is the time to know if Syaoran is really wolfdreamer or not," she whispered to herself as the warm water flowed down her beautiful body.
After 15 minutes, she went out of the bathroom, her towel wrapped tightly against her body. Opening the dresser and examining the collection of clothes she had. She then picked out a cherry blossom print tube top that reached her thigh, and a pair of tight denim jeans to go with them.
She slipped on her dress and posed in front of the mirror. Quite content with her look but she thought something was missing. Looking around for some sort of accessory, she finally found a cherry blossom clip and put it in her hair for the final touch. Now, she was ready to go down and see Touya, just about to leave. "Wow, You're late, Onii-chan!" she said as she went to the dining room.
Touya shrugged as he went out of the house.
Sakura smiled brightly and greeted her father 'good morning'.
Fujitaka placed her breakfast on the table. "Ohayo. You're early today. You're going to your brother's festival?" her father asked and Sakura nodded. "Are you going with Tomoyo? Return home before it's dark, okay? Or, you can return home with your brother since this is their last day." he added and continued eating his breakfast.
"Hai!" Sakura replied respectfully. She ate her breakfast silently, still thinking if her dream is true. What is she going to feel? To tell the truth, what am I going to feel? Will I be happy because I've been chatting to the one I love, or angry because he didn't tell his true identity? Argh! This is so confusing!
Then, a honk of a car interrupted her thoughts. Sakura blinked twice and rushed to the door. "I think its Tomoyo. Don't worry Otou-san. I'll be back by 7 o'clock sharp," she said to her father as she kissed him in the cheek. "Bye."
She exited out of their house and saw Tomoyo waiting in her limo. "You're kind of early. First off, to Chiharu's house!" Sakura exclaimed as Tomoyo nodded happily. They went in the limo and went to Chiharu's house.
...x...
7:53 AM
They arrived at the Tokyo U before 8. Sakura smiled because they just made it in time. Her brother said that there will be a parade at exactly 8, and it's only 7 minutes before 8!
"So Sakura, when's the start of the parade?" Chiharu asked as she held Takashi's arm.
Sakura looked at her watch and said, "It's going to start at 8, and then the booths will be open also. Those are going to be closed at 2. Then, there will be a program at 3 at the gym. That's what Onii-chan told me last night." After hearing what she said, they entered the University.
They saw Touya and Yukito talking to a group of students. The students were arguing within themselves until Syaoran approached them. He was just nodding along as the students spoke to him.
"Hmm, Li's the student council president right?" Naoko asked in a whisper as they walked to them. Sakura nodded and then smiled.
"Onii-chan!" she exclaimed as they went to him. Touya looked around and grinned.
"What is it kaijuu?" he asked as the girls tugged his shirt.
Sakura noticed this and walked closer to the girls. She smiled at them and said, "Can you excuse him for a minute? I need to talk to him," she said as the girls went away. She sighed as she looked at her brother. "Care to tour us? We don't know what to do here," she asked as her brother looked around for something.
"Syaoran said that he will be your guide, but I wonder where he is." Touya said as he looked around the school grounds. Then he saw a glimpse of Syaoran's face and grinned. He looked at Sakura and her friends. "Wait, I'll just get him," he said as he ran to Syaoran.
"Sakura, you're brother is weird sometimes." Rika butted in as she looked around. "Nice Fest." she commented almost silently.
Tomoyo giggled. "Because they're starting to panic! You know, preparing for so long for this traditional Fest and they're getting stressed," she said as she recorded the fest with her camera.
Sakura nodded. Then she saw someone approaching them. "Eriol!" she exclaimed as she wave her hand. Tomoyo looked at the way Sakura was waving and her smile grew even bigger.
Eriol smiled and ran beside Tomoyo. "Wow, I didn't know you were going to be here," he said as he wrapped his arm around Tomoyo's waist.
Chiharu and the others looked at the couple with question marks floating in their heads. "He's Eriol! Oh my god, you're a cutie!" the girls exclaimed.
Takashi smiled as he raised his index finger. "A cutie? Did you know that the first cute guy was born in--" he stopped as Chiharu poked his head. "Okay, I'll stop." and he shuts up.
Sakura and Tomoyo giggled as Syaoran approached them. Sakura blushed when Syaoran smiled at her sweetly. Chiharu and Naoko smirked evilly as they looked at the couple. Rika stayed calm beside Tomoyo who was currently recording Sakura and Syaoran. Eriol went beside Takashi and talked about 'false' stories, even adding some info.
"They look cute when they're together." Rika whispered at Tomoyo who was nodding.
"So, I'll be your guide until 3. For now, let's watch the parade that the freshmen prepared." Syaoran said as he led the way to the Tokyo U parade hall.
The group agreed. Sakura and Syaoran are in the lead, Tomoyo and Rika next, and then Naoko and Chiharu, and the last is Eriol and Takashi.
Sakura felt her heart thumping very rapidly. She can't control the blush in her face, or even her breath. What's happening to her? She must feel happy because she's with the one she really loves but at the same time she felt nervous. Does this involve wolfdreamer? She shook her head slightly and sighed deeply. Why is she here by the way? What's her reason? Is it because she wanted to see Syaoran or because she wants to meet wolfdreamer?
Finally, they reached the parade hall. Already, it's crowded with people. The freshmen are preparing their parade and the others are arranging their line. After a minute, the parade starts.
The first row of girls are throwing and catching their batons. The next row was trumpet players. Next were the flute players, and so on. It ended after 20 minutes. Many people are clapping, and cheering loudly for the freshman. Looking back, it seemed as if this year's parade is more cheery than the last one.
Syaoran looked at them and smiled. "Where do you want to go next?" he asked.
Chiharu and Naoko grabbed Takashi and Rika, forcing smiles at the others. "We're alright by ourselves, don't worry. We'll meet you in the gym at 3." Chiharu said, as they ran away, dragging their two, poor, friends.
Eriol walked beside Tomoyo and suspiciously looked at her friends. "Something's going on." he mumbled, but already knew why Chiharu and Naoko did that. He looked at Syaoran and grinned. "So, cousin, where are we going first?" he asked.
Syaoran looked around and smiled. "Let's go to... the amusement booth, over there!" he said as he pointed to the place where there were many stuff toys of different sizes.
Sakura smiled and nodded. "Sure, let's go!" she said as she grabbed Tomoyo's hand and ran to the booth. Syaoran chuckled at their silliness. Eriol just smiled.
Sakura looked at the booth, "Oh! Tomoyo, don't those bear look so cute! Let's try to get that!" she said as Tomoyo nodded. "Uh, miss, how can we get that bear?" she asked the lady.
"You need three consecutive points versus those guys in basketball." the lady replied as she pointed to the guys by the basketball court. "They're the varsity players of this school, but we only accept guys to play." she added.
"Oh, I thought I could record Sakura playing with the guys!" Tomoyo said as she pouted. Sakura sweat dropped as she turned around to see Eriol and Syaoran.
Syaoran smiled at her as he tossed the lady a coin. "I'll play." he volenteered and he proceeded to the court. After about 5 minutes, he came back with a ticket. Giving it to the lady, he smirked.
"Congratulations! Here is your prize," she said, handing them the bear.
Syaoran took it and handed it to Sakura. "Here, the players are fast but I made it," he said proudly. He was about to toss another coin to the lady when Eriol stopped him. He eyed him and sighed. "Good luck." Eriol went to the court.
They waited for for 3 minutes and he was back with a ticket. Eriol gave the ticket and received the prize. He gave the bear to Tomoyo and smiled. "Those guys are so lousy," he said as he dusted his shirt.
Syaoran laughed as the two girls treasured the memory of recieving the bears.
(i'll skip it okay?)
..x...
2:38 PM
Sakura sat on a bench with Tomoyo right beside her, giggling their butts off. Eriol scratched his chin as Syaoran laughed.
"I can't believe that they're going to yell at you Syaoran. I mean, I thought you're the council president but-" Sakura stopped and laughed.
Tomoyo sighed happily as she looked at her best friend. "It's already 2:40. The program is start any minute now, right Li?" she asked, Syaoran nodded.
"Oh yeah, I reserved the seats for you guys. Just show your tickets and the usherettes will lead you to your seats. I need to go now, they might be looking for me right now." Syaoran said as he ran away.
Eriol looked at the girls and smiled. "So let's go? Takashi and the others might be waiting for us," he said as they went to the gym.
Sakura stood up and followed Tomoyo and Eriol. 50 minutes more before she meets wolfdreamer. Someone tugged at her dress. She turned around and saw a child smiling up at her. Kneeling down, smiling at the girl, she asked, "Hi, what can I do for you?"
The girl handed her an envelope and smiled. "A guy told me to give this to you. He's kind of you know," she said as she ran to the crowd.
Sakura watched the girl disappear and then looked at the envelope. She opened it and read the letter inside.
I decided that we'd meet at the galaxy booth at 3:00. I know that you can't start the program, but it's your decision if you will meet me or not. If not, it's okay. But I'll wait here, at the dead-end.
wolfdreamer
Sakura put the letter inside the envelope and stood up. She looked around to find Eriol and Tomoyo but her thoughts led back to that letter. She didn't know what to do. Is she going to meet him or not? What if he's a gang leader and kidnaps her? She caught a glimpse of Tomoyo smiling at Eriol. Trying to catch up to them, she ran, making her pant.
Tomoyo looked beside her and worried face painted in her face. "Why are you panting, Sakura? I thought you were following us," she asked worriedly making her stop walking.
Sakura smiled. "I'm okay. Someone just gave me something, from wolfdreamer." she replied as she showed the envelope.
"What does it say?" Eriol asked.
Sakura sighed. "He changed the time to 3. Now I don't know what am I going to do. But maybe I can meet him later, I am still hesitating on going." she said as she started walking to the gym.
People are crowding on the line as Touya approached them. "Hey, kaijuu. Show me your tickets and I'll let you in," he said as they showed him their tickets.
An usherette came to them and smiled. "So you'll be in second row, here follow me." she said as she led them inside.
Sakura looked around and didn't saw Syaoran. She sighed as Tomoyo patted her shoulder. "Everything will be okay," she said, as Sakura nodded.
...x...
4:00 PM
"Our next performance will be a song from the Juniors, Yoko Lin. Let's give a round of applause!" the emcee said as a girl with short dark brown hair appeared on the stage. She smiled at the crowd sweetly.
Many guys are cheering and the girls are clapping. Sakura smiled as she clapped her hands softly as Tomoyo recorded her.
Yoko placed the microphone under her chin. "Before, I start my song, I want to dedicate this song to Touya Kinomoto's younger sister, Sakura Kinomoto. This song is requested by someone," she said as the spotlight lighted Sakura.
Sakura blushed as the people looked at her, especially her friends. Touya shook his head and sighed. Yukito beside him is smiling. Tomoyo recorded her more, and then Yoko.
"This is going to be fun," she whispered to herself as the music started to fill the room.
Yoko took a deep breath and smiled at the crowd. She waved her right hand and the crowd cheered. She placed back the microphone under her chin. She opened her mouth and started to sing.
(i own the song.. so sorry if i'm not good at composing lyrics.)
"Is this really love?
I'm having a nice feeling now.
It feels so good and light
That I wish I'm flying right now"
Sakura blushed as she listens to the song. She smiled as she recalled the first verse of the song. Right now, love is what she's feeling.
"Now you're near
I hope you would stay a little longer
Now you're here
I hope to hear a word from you
I hope you will feel the same I feel"
The gym was silent, not even a word can be heard. The song is really nice and slow. Yoko's voice and the music is what only thing they hear.
"Is it because of you?
That made my heart beat fast
Whenever I see you,
I feel I'm in heaven"
Syaoran is the one that made her heart beat. She didn't care if this wolfdreamer is Syaoran or not. But she's sure that she loves Syaoran.
"Now you're near
I hope you would stay a little longer
Now you're here
I hope to hear a word from you
I hope you will feel the same I feel
I know that it could be wrong
I know that it could be silly
But now I know..."
Syaoran smiled as he heard the song from the gym. He was sitting at the dead-end of the galaxy booth. He's still waiting for Sakura. Even though, she doesn't return the feelings. All he wishes is that she'll be happy, and it can make him happy also.
Yoko looked at Sakura and smiled. If she only knew...
"Now you're near
I hope you would stay a little longer
Now you're here
I hope to hear a word from you
Now... you're near
I hope you would stay a little longer
Now you're here
I hope to hear a word from you
I hope you will feel the same I feel..."
Some of the girls cried as the song finished. Yoko did her best to put all her emotions in the song, and the audience liked it. Sakura looked at her watched. It's already 4:15. She looked at Tomoyo who nodded. She nodded back and stood up.
Yoko noticed her and called her. "Miss Sakura!" Sakura looked at her. "Wolfdreamer requested this song, the lyrics, it's all true. He is Syaoran; I know it sounds silly to tell you who he really is. But, he's still waiting for you!" she said as Sakura nodded.
Sakura ran out of the gym. She went to the school grounds and tried to find the booth. Where is that booth? She ran to the behind the school building and saw a tent with a board on top of it, Galaxy Booth.
She smiled as she went inside. She ran on the way and tried to find the dead-end, until she find an intersection way. "Oh, where's the right way?" she asked her self as she looked at the two way. She shook his head and went inside the left way.
...x...
Syaoran smiled at his self. Yoko told Sakura who he is. He sighed, she promised not to tell her, especially to everyone. He sighed again as his hand ran through his messy hair.
He wonders what Sakura is doing right now. Is she running to the galaxy booth or just staying there, decided not to meet him?
"Thank you Yoko for that sweet song. And for the next performance, a drama from the sophomores!" he heard the emcee said.
He sighed; maybe Sakura isn't going to meet him. He stood up and placed the velvet box on the chair he's sitting. Sakura isn't coming to meet him. He sighed again. He felt so childish!
He was about to go out of the dead-end when he heard a voice. "Syaoran! Syaoran!" it said. He turned around and saw Sakura smiling at him, panting.
"Syaoran! I made it, didn't I? I'm sorry I was so stupid. I can't believe that, that I--"
Syaoran smiled as he pulled Sakura into a tight hug. Sakura smiled as she hugged back.
'Is this how to feel when you are hugging the one you really love? I feel so content.' Sakura thought as Syaoran broke the hug.
"I thought you're not going to meet wolfdreamer. But now, you're here." Syaoran said as Sakura nodded, tears flowing in her eyes. He wiped her tears and smiled at her. "No crying, okay?" and Sakura nodded.
Syaoran looked at her and smiled. He knew she's still young but he'll wait for her, no matter how long. He remembered her parents' love story, and noticed that it's similar to theirs.
He took the velvet box he placed on the chair and gave to Sakura. "Here, it's for you. I hope you like it." he said as Sakura opened it.
"This is the one I was looking at in the magazine Tomoyo gave me," she said as Syaoran took out the necklace. He went behind Sakura and put it around her neck.
Sakura touched the heart on the necklace and smiled at Syaoran. "Is this true? I mean, I'm not dreaming, am I?" she asked as Syaoran nodded.
Syaoran lift his hand and caressed Sakura's cheek. "Of course, this is not a dream Sakura. And I won't let that this will be only a dream." he said as he kissed Sakura passionately.
Sakura closed her eyes and kissed back. Everything is perfect. Even though, they're not perfect people, for them they're already perfect.
Syaoran broke the kiss and looked at Sakura. "First kiss?" he asked as Sakura nodded. He smiled as they went out of the booth.
For Sakura, this would be the best thing happened to her life.
...x...
Some time later...
Sakura sighed as she sat on her study chair. She put her bag on the floor. It's another tiring day. Her teachers gave her a hard time on those boring lectures, especially in Math. She took out her laptop and opened it. Connecting to the Internet, she checked her email. Two new ones, one from amethystgurl and one from, guess who? wolfdreamer!
She happily opened Tomoyo's email first. She was quite relieved because it's only a short email. Just to add, Tomoyo went to England with Eriol and decided to study there.
Hi Sakura! How are you there? But I bet you're okay, since you know...! Hehe, you really got him sister! But I wonder if he'll marry you after you graduated in high school. Invite me, okay?
By the way, many things happened here in England and I don't have time to tell everything. Basically it's just the usual things, boring lectures, tough exams and average grades. But it's all right because I finally opened my first boutique here in England last month! Can you believe that? And at the first two weeks of my shop, I got at least 350 clients! Now, my hectic schedule just became more hectic. -sigh- Why did I opened that shop? I shouldn't have. But it's okay; because I got to show the dresses I made just for you! The people here want those, but I said I'd make another like that when I had the time.
Don't worry, I'll send those dresses so the people won't get to notice how beautiful those clothes are! Oh, yeah, Eriol wants to know how Li is. How is he? I heard that he already graduated college. And he's going back to Hong Kong after a month. Hm, but Eriol told me that he was supposed to return in HK in January but look he stayed for you, girl! HE really loves my SAKURA! Tell me when it's about time to design the bride's gown okay?
Well, my email ends here. I forgot to tell you, I'm writing this email while I'm in class but sent it when I returned home. Good thing, my professor didn't catch me. Well, ja Sakura! Take care okie?
Tomoyo
Sakura laughed at her friend's email. After she read that email, she opened Syaoran's email.
Hi Sakura! I just arrived from my part time job. Sorry if I become busy these days, because I need to arrange my ticket to Hong Kong. I already told you about that right? Don't worry, I'll return after a week. Also, I'll be there to have a dinner today okay? I'm going to talk to your father about something. It's a secret, but I'll tell you after I talk to your father. Hehehe, it's going to be fun! So, I'll see you there tonight. I love you...
Syaoran
Sakura smiled at his email.
"It's already love mails." she said as she went out of her room.
The End

Nice ending? oh, I know you might ask for an epilogue, but I don't think I can make one because I'm already busy... but if I had time, I will make one or if I find my removable disk for the laptop, the epilogue is in there but only half way done.
