OH, and for those who were wondering, you know that lifeboat that picked up Sakura and Syaoran? It was an actual lifeboat. You can see it in the movie when the first smokestack falls over.

Again, Syaoran woke up with his head leaning against something. He slowly opened his amber eyes and looked over to the source. His head was leaning on his beloved Sakura's head, but this time, her head was leaning onto his shoulder. Her beautiful emerald eyes were shut to the world, and she was sound asleep. They were now sitting on a wooden bench, and they had a plaid blanket wrapped over their legs. This was Syaoran's first memory of the small liner, Carpathia. He didn't even remember getting onto the ship. Many other passengers were sitting like they were. They were, of course, passengers of the former great ship, Titanic.
"Oh thank goodness! Thank Goodness!" Syaoran turned slightly, not to disturb the angel on his shoulder. To his surprise, Sakura's mother hurried over to the couple. He had forgotten all about her. Sakura started to stir.
"Syaoran!" She huffed. "I've been looking all over for you and Sakura!" Sakura stirred slightly again, on Syaoran's shoulder. "Thank God you two are ok. . ." Sakura opened her eyes. "Where's Fujitaka and Touya?"
Sakura sat up and looked at her mother, then turned back to Syaoran, then back to her Mother. She stood up and hugged her mother. Syaoran stood up as well, but stood a little back, this was a family moment. When Sakura pulled back from the hug, and looked into her Mother's eyes and her mother knew. "Mother. . ."
"Where are they?"
"Mother. . . they didn't make it." Sakura closed her eyes and let a couple tears fall. Syaoran gently gripped her hand. Sakura knew that was cruel the way she told her mother, but she wasn't going to take 'special' means to tell her.
"What? You're lying!" She looked around wildly. "Where are they?" Her eyes were filling up with tears. She looked like she was ready to go search every inch of the ship, to find her husband and her son.
"Mother. . ."
Syaoran stepped up. "Mrs. Kinomoto, I'm sorry, I truly am. . ." He took a deep steadying breath. "But they didn't make it."
It finally hit her. "Oh, No! Oh God, NO!" Sakura's mother's legs gave out and she crumbled to the floor; or she would of. Syaoran caught her in his arms before she fell. He fell onto his knees. She pounded her fists against his chest. "Please tell me it's not true!" She kept hitting him. "Tell me it's not true!" She started to sob, and she just buried her head into her shoulder.
Sakura dropped to her knees, and wrapped her arms around both her mother and Syaoran. She too, started to cry. They were not the only people crying like this. . . Almost everyone that was a passenger on the Titanic lost someone. . . A friend, a brother, a husband. . .

Rain pounded down on this small ship. All the passengers stared out at the ocean in horror, as the ship was hit with rough waves. Sakura sat wrapped in Syaoran's arms, as Nadeshiko Kinomoto, paced in front of the couple. "I can't believe they're gone." She's been saying this ever since Sakura and Syaoran told her that her husband and son were killed. "I can't believe they're actually gone." She walked off. The couple watched her leave.
They sat silently for a moment, before Sakura turned to face Syaoran. "Everyone has lost so much. . ."
Syaoran sighed. "I know that I, and you can too, replace everything we lost, but so many can't."
"What are you going to do when we dock in New York?" Sakura asked as she leaned her head against her shoulder.
"I'll see when I get there of course. It really depends on a lot of things. . . Like you." He gave a small wink to Sakura.
Sakura smiled at him. "I know I haven't said this before," She took a deep breath. "I love you and thank you for all you did last night."
Syaoran smiled slightly and kissed her softly on the forward. "It would be crazy for me not to love you. I think I've loved you since the moment I first set my eyes on you, walking down those stairs."
Sakura chucked then fell silent. Tears welled up in her eyes. Remembering that night, back on the Titanic, brought back memories of her father and her brother. She tried to hold back her sob, but she couldn't. She turned in to Syaoran, and started to sob, her shoulders shaking.
Syaoran wrapped his arms around her, and just let her cry.

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Flash Back
"Oh, shit!" Sakura, Syaoran and Sakura's father looked at the voice in surprise. The man was losing his grip.
"Touya!" Fujitaka rushed over some of the railing to his son and tried to grab his hand. But, to no prevail.
"TOUYA!" Sakura screamed and watched as her beloved brother lose his grip and start sliding down the length of the ship. She tried to escape Syaoran's grip, to go after her brother. He wouldn't let her go. Touya hit a pole and flipped over it, and fell straight down into the water, very, very far below. They could barely see him when he hit the water.
End Flash Back
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess
Rain poured down on the couple as they stood outside, on Carpathia's deck. Tears were pouring down Sakura's face, but you couldn't tell with all the rain. They watched as land was becoming visible.
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Nadeshiko walked up to the couple, and watched as the land came closer and closer. She was looking forward to living in the United States, but after the horrible night of April 14, she'd do anything to turn back the clock, and not of boarded the 'unsinkable' Titanic. She wanted her husband and son back.
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Flash Back
Screams of terror rang out into the clear night. Sakura and Syaoran had to grip onto the railing even more tightly, when all of a sudden, the ship plunged downwards towards the water. Sakura cringed thinking of the people the ship would surely crush, and hoping that Touya was not one of them. She held her breath the whole way downwards. The couple blinked and Sakura screamed, "DADDY!" as they watched Sakura's father lose his grip, when the ship was completely level, and he tumbled into the water. He yelled the whole way down.
End Flash Back
Baby, my baby, it's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
'Why, oh Why did we board the Titanic?' Nadeshiko thought desperately. It truly was a big mistake. The only good thing that came out of the whole Titanic thing was Sakura meeting Syaoran.I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Syaoran gripped Sakura's hand tighter. They knew that their lives had changed on the ship. They were never going to be the same. Sakura, and her mother will always have something missing from their life.
I don't mean to drag it on,
But I can't seem to let you go
Flash Back
The ship, after floating level for a moment, started to move upwards at an alarmingly fast rate. "Sakura, take my hand and I'll pull you over." She raised her hand to his, and he pulled her over the railing.
End Flash Back
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
Flash Back
Both Sakura and Syaoran took a deep breath, and braced themselves for the freezing water. As soon as they touched the water, the great ship started to pull them downwards. They both started kicking for the surface, but the force of the pull from the great former liner pulled their strong grip they had on each other's hands apart. They were both pulled downwards, in different directions. Syaoran went of towards the right, while Sakura was pulled towards the left.
End Flash Back
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep

The trio watched as the Statue of Liberty passed them.
...Incomplete
