Chapter Nineteen (2ed Half)
:--------------------------------:
Yue
He touched the shoulder of a woman's gently, "There wasn't anything you could've done." The woman shook her head, "It was my entire fault Yue. If the shot had hit me he wouldn't be lying here half dead." Yue held onto the woman tightly, "Shh, don't think like that, he wouldn't want you to be unhappy." Sakura shut her eyes, endless amount of tears falling down her delicate face.
She held onto the hand of her son's tightly, "Please Kami-san please let him be okay." Yue quickly left the room, seeing that she needed some space. Months had past since the incident, and Sakura never left the hospital.
Sakura
She walked out in the gardens slowly; everything was all a blur to her. "You should get some rest," a gentle voice behind her said. Sakura turned around and came face to face with Eriol, "I can't sleep knowing he's lying there in bed because of me." Eriol looked at the woman sadly, "It wasn't your fault." Sakura shook her head, "Yes it is! Syaoran risked his life, and it was because of me!" Eriol embraced the hysterical woman, "Sakura, you have to get a hold of yourself, for Kenji." Sakura looked into his eyes and knew that he was right.
"For Kenji…" she said softly while shutting her eyelids. Eriol nodded his head and slowly walked away. Sakura didn't move from her spot, thinking of everything. Everyone had moved to Hong Kong to look after Sakura. But after a few months many people had lost hope.
Sakura sat beside his bed touching his hand gently, "Hey Syaoran. Kenji started his training to become King. You should see him, he looks so cute in his little prince outfit," tears continued to flow down her cheeks, "Please wake up," she said squeezing his hand tightly. A soft knock was heard on the door and Sakura turned her head and saw the queen standing there smiling sadly. Sakura wiped the tears from her eyes, "Your highness," she said while bowing. Yelan shook her off and stood beside her, "Your body is weakening," she said softly. Sakura shook her head, "It doesn't matter, I just want Syaoran back."
Yelan touched Sakura's shoulder gently, "No matter how long you stand here, Syaoran is going to have to wake up on his own time." Sakura looked up at the woman, "I know. But I can't help but feel helpless. I can't just watch him die!" The queen looked away, "We can't change the future my child." Sakura looked up at the woman tears flowing down her face, "I want to at least be with him at his death. Are you going to take that away from me too?"
Yelan winced at her tone, "I deserved that didn't I?" Sakura looked away, "I'm sorry," she apologized for her harsh words. Yelan smiled sadly, "No I should be the one saying sorry. I broke you two apart to what I thought was a better candidate. Turns out she was worst though." Sakura laughed, Mei Lin had indeed decided them all, in truth all she did was change her last name when she came to the brothel.
"I need some air," Sakura said and quickly stood up to leave. "Wait," Yelan called out making her stop in her spot, "Will you forgive me? I realize now that you truly love my son, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have distinguished you because of your past. It wasn't your fault you were forced there." Sakura turned around and nodded her head, and than walked away again. The queen watched as the woman walked away. She turned back towards her son and touched his face softly, "Wake up soon, I don't know how much longer she will be able to handle this.
Ever single day Sakura would go back to the hospital to visit Syaoran. She would stay there the entire day, not caring what anyone said. She looked at the man in front of her sadly, the doctors had told her the chances of him waking up were 1 to 10 and even if he were to wake up his chances of surviving was very slim.
She grasped onto his hand tighter, even if he couldn't live any longer she wanted to be with him as much as she could while he was still here. "Well, the trial was today sweetheart. Mei Lin has a life sentence along with Ryu. Tomoyo testified against them, you should have been there."
Flashback
Tomoyo cleared her breath while standing at the podium, "I admit I was part of their plans in the beginning. I even helped them try and kill Sakura around 3 years ago." The judge looked at her, "How so?" Tomoyo explained how she had seduced Syaoran and how that Sakura had ran away, "Afterwards I knew she was headed towards England so we already had Mei Lin there. And than Sakura took the cab that day, Mei Lin was driving; the whole thing wasn't an accident." Sakura was so shocked at the news and a flashback came back to her, those crimson red eyes.
Tomoyo cleared her throat again, "After I figured that Sakura was dead we all left to Paris. I guess paradise doesn't last that long because Ryu grew tired of me and went for Mei Lin. I realized that all of this was never worth it, so I headed back to Tomoeda. Afterwards I heard in the news that Sakura had been found and I immediately faxed something to Eriol arranging a meeting. Afterwards I knew they were up to something big, so I contacted Mei Lin and told her I would help her."
Tomoyo took a deep breath before continuing, "I helped them set up a place for them to kidnap her, I was hoping that they wouldn't leave Sakura alone, but it turned out Sakura left in the gardens and was kidnapped anyways. Afterwards I knew I had to help them, so I contacted Mei Lin again convincing her that I just needed to contact Ryu so I could get the money. I knew that Ryu was going to be the one guarding Sakura so the whole thing worked out."
End of Flashback
"You probably wouldn't have guessed that it was Mei Lin the first time would you?" Sakura laughed softly. She brushed the hair off his face, "Tomoyo has about two years in jail also. But since she testified against them, she may have an early leave." She walked towards the window, "It's almost been a year now Syaoran, why can't you wake up?"
She looked out at the endless sky, "Everyone's losing faith in you, and they're all heading back home." Sakura shut her eyes tightly, "Please wake up." She looked at his direction seeing no movement. She sighed and walked out of the room. Once she was gone his fingers twitched slightly, but than stopped again.
The next day was like any other day Sakura went to the hospital and sat down by his bed. Sakura smiled and sat down by him. "It's Kenji's birthday," she said looking at him, "Won't you wake up?" She felt his fingers move and Sakura screamed for the doctors to come. They shoved her aside and began checking up on him. When the doctors came out, one of them touched her arm slightly, "We need to talk first."
Sakura took another glance at Syaoran to make sure he was okay and followed the doctor out.
Syaoran
He looked at the pure white room. Everything was blurry to him, and pain winced through him every time he moved. He watched as the doctor took Sakura aside to take. He felt too tired to wait for her to come back, and went back to sleep.
When he awoke he noticed that everyone was with him. "Syao, you scared us you know," Sakura said while holding tightly onto his hand. Syaoran smiled charmingly, "I'll never scare you guys again."
Epilogue
:--------------------------------:
Sakura
Everyone was dressed all in black. Sakura looked down at the casket and smiled a huge smile, "Thank you," she said and threw a single rose on it and walked away holding her now four year old son's hand. She had promised him she wouldn't cry and she had intended to keep that promise.
She felt someone touch her shoulder, she turned around and smiled broadly at Eriol, "He died happily you know," Sakura told the man. Eriol nodded, "I know." "No regrets," Sakura continued. Eriol sighed, "You?" Sakura looked down at the wedding band on her hand, "No regrets."
Flashback
:--------------------------------:
"You're finally home Syao," Sakura said while holding onto his arm. Syaoran turned to her and grabbed onto her shoulders "Is there something you aren't telling me." Sakura looked away, tears flowing down her cheeks, "The doctors told me you won't live over a month." Syaoran froze in his spot, "O god."
Sakura looked back to the man she loved and ran down the hallways not able to face him. Syaoran stood frozen to his spot unsure of what to do.
Next Day
Sakura tried her best to avoid Syaoran. But at dinner he had cornered her to a wall, "God Sakura, can't we talk?" Sakura looked at him, "I can't face you. I don't want to see you die." Syaoran touched her cheek and tilted her chin up, "Shh, but wouldn't you want happy memories to remember me by?" Sakura looked at him and nodded her head, "Oh Syao I love you so much. But it hurts to know that you're going to leave me soon."
"Don't think like that Sakura, I'll always be with you in your heart," Syaoran held onto her tightly, he touched her left hand softly, "You still wear the ring." Sakura giggled, "Of course, it represents our love." Syaoran looked down at her, with a serious face that made Sakura want to giggle, "Do you only love me Sakura?" Sakura gasped, the question caught her by surprise, "Syaoran, you're the only love of my life."
He took both of her hands in his, "Than will you Sakura Kinomoto make me a happy man before I die. Will you marry me?" Sakura gasped at the question and leaped into his arms, "Of course."
Flashback Ends
"The wedding turned out great, don't you agree Eriol?" Sakura said while walking back slowly to the limo. Eriol nodded, "The doctors were wrong." Sakura nodded her head, "They told me he only had 1 month to live. But he lived for over a year." Eriol chuckled, "I guess he just couldn't leave you." Sakura nodded her head, "He never did leave me. He'll always be here in my heart."
Eriol smiled, "I'm glad you're okay." Sakura took a deep breath and smiled sweetly, "Why wouldn't I be?" Eriol watched as the woman of his dreams touched his shoulder gently, "Moyo loves you." Eriol nodded his head, "I know." Sakura looked at him, "What are you going to do?" "Nothing," he said bluntly. Sakura stood there shocked, "Why?" Eriol looked at her sadly, "Because I love someone else." He let go of her hand and walked off.
Sakura watched as he left, she shut her eyes tightly, she didn't know what she could do. "Sakura!" she heard a voice yell. Sakura turned and to face her two best friends. "Mia! Kay!" Sakura said while running towards them giving them each a big huge. "You alright sweetie?" Miaka asked while holding onto a baby girl, Hotohori had gotten her pregnant on their honeymoon.
Sakura smiled, "Yeah, I think I'm going to be okay." Kaori smiled, "I knew our baby sister was strong." Sakura glared at Kaori cutely, "Baby sister?" Kaori laughed, "Yep, always our baby sister right Mia?" Miaka nodded her head, "Of course, you were always the baby of the group." Chiharu and Takashi walked towards them. Chiharu gave Sakura hug with great difficulty since she was pregnant now with twins. Sakura giggled, "I still get to be the God mommy right?"
Chiharu nodded, her brown curls bouncing, "Of course, wouldn't have it any other way." Takashi laughed, "Funny how we're all handling this okay." Sakura sighed, "Maybe it's because we all realized he'll always still be here, in our souls." Chiharu nodded, "Probably, how's Kenji holding up?" Sakura looked away sadly, "Pretty badly, after finding a father, he loses him." Chiharu hugged her friend in understanding, "Don't worry there are other fish in the sea!"
Sakura laughed at that comment, "I don't want any other." Kaori looked at her questionably, "Are you sure Sakura? I mean you still got half of your life ahead of you. There isn't a special someone? Say a blue haired man?" Sakura giggled, "I'm sure you guys. And this is a funeral! Stop trying to get the mourning woman to wed another!"
Takashi laughed, "The woman's right you know. What would the people think?" Sakura nodded her head, "Well I better get home now, Kenji needs me." They watched as their friend walked off towards a long stretch limo. "Think she'll listen to our advice about Eriol?" Kaori asked the group. Chiharu shrugged her shoulders, "I dunno, but she better make a move soon if she is. Eriol's leaving tomorrow night." Miaka giggled, "Let's help them. You know? One last thing before we're all separated. I mean with Eriol we'll for sure know that she's happy."
Eriol
"Eriol we need you now!" Chiharu said panicked over the phone. "What is it Chi?" Eriol asked calmly. "Sakura…Sakura's hurt! It seems she isn't as fine as she seemed about Syaoran's death," Chiharu said while sobbing on the phone. Eriol stood there frozen, "Where's she now?" "S-s-she's at Cherry Blossom Park." Eriol quickly hung up and rushed out of the house.
Chiharu smiled happily when she heard the click, "Phase one complete!"
Sakura
She had left the house right after Kenji had gone to bed. She really needed some air to clear her mind. She felt horrible about his death, but she knew that he wouldn't have wanted her to mourn so she held it in. All the pain etched deep inside her. She wanted to scream it out so loud, but instead she just stood there staring as the cherry blossom petals surrounded her.
"Sakura!" she heard a voice yell out. She turned around and smiled as she noticed it was Eriol. "What are you doing here?" she questioned him while keeping the smile on her face. Eriol frowned, "You're not okay, are you?" he said while touching her cheek softly. Sakura shut her eyes tightly tears freely falling down her face, "How can I be? I loved him so much."
Eriol grabbed her into an embrace, "Shh, it's okay just let it all out." Sakura held onto him tightly, "Thanks for always being there Eriol." Eriol smiled charmingly, "No problem, I mean I promised father I'd always take care of you." Sakura giggled, "Otou-san, I miss him." Eriol nodded, "Me too, but we got over that, you'll get over Syaoran too."
Sakura nodded her head, "You're right," Sakura raised her head and gave Eriol a soft kiss on the cheek, "Promise you'll always be my onii-chen?" Eriol froze, that was all he was to her? An older brother, Eriol nodded his head numbly, "Always." Sakura smiled, "Let's go home now." Eriol slowly led her out of the park, but than stopped, "Why?"
Sakura looked at him confused, "What you mean Eriol?" "Why am I only a brother to you? I thought…I mean…you mean so much to me Sakura," Eriol said in a blur of words. Sakura placed her finger on his lip, hushing him, "I'm sorry Eriol, Syaoran died for me. He…he died to save my life; my life belongs to him now. I can't give it to any other. My body and heart belongs all to him."
Eriol stared at her seeing emotions mix in her eyes; he nodded in understanding, "What if I was the one to save you that day?" Sakura looked away, "Than maybe the outcome would've been different. But don't dwell on what could have Eriol; think about now, your future."
Eriol looked at her sadly; he had wanted his future with her, "I'm leaving soon," was all he said. Sakura nodded, "So I heard." Eriol looked deep into her eyes, "I don't intend on coming back." Sakura smiled at him, "Than I wish you luck, and I hope you can find someone who truly loves you back." Eriol looked at her sadly, "I'm not looking for anyone else, and you were right, I won't get the person I love because of what I've done" he walked off not even bothering to say goodbye.
Sakura let the words sink into her before walking off. She looked up towards the sky, "Am I doing the right thing Syaoran? Otou-san? Please give me a sign." A single cherry blossom fell in the palm of her hand; she could almost hear her otou-san's voice saying softly, "It'll be alright." Sakura smiled up to the sky and continued on her way home deciding to put the past behind her. She had everything she could ever want, her father, her son, her friends, and Syaoran forever in her heart.
The End!
