A/N: Hey everyone! Now, after I've finished watching television and celebrated the fact that Sam actually stayed at Pinoy Big Brother…. Yep, Chx got her butt kicked out of the house! Well, I think I'm ready to write.
But of course before I continue the sad fate (aherm….) of Syaoran and Sakura, I'm gonna do my usual thing and that is to answer some of my reviews…
To Sabi2, thanks…. Wow, people nowadays are calling me evil…. Hahahahahaha! Well, it's all part of the novel gig thing…. Cliffhangers! Anyway, thank you.
To metrogurl1803, Well…. Yes, such a cliffhanger, well, that's because when I was writing the story last last night…. It's almost midnight and by the time I finished the scene, my neurons are sooooo dry and it couldn't produce any waves from my brain…. In english, mind block. So….. I've decided to go off for the night. Anyhow, thank you.
To Cyril-o16, hahahahaha…… predictable ba? Sorry ha…. Pero….. anyway, ayoko pa ring sagutin. No, actually, masasagot ko na ang tanong mo…. Dahil ang lahat ng kasagutan sa mga tanong dito sa fanfic ko ay nandito sa chapter na to! Well anyway…. Thanks for reviewing!
To lozipozivanillabean, wow! Thanks! I'm glad you appreciate it. Really, I was so worried I haven't delivered it well…. Glad you guys think I did. Thanks a lot!
To sakura-miaka, hehehehe….. Syaoran-kun…? All right! All right! All the answers are found in this chapter.
Well…. According to the tsismis dito…. Yep, bakla si Raymond. Actually, marami rami na rin syang billboard ng Bench. Tapos lumalabas sya as a host sa SOP Gigsters and I think pati rin yata sa Starstruck. Nung una, pogi sya, as in kamukhang kamukha ni Richard, except na medyo chubby sya, unlike 'Chard na talagang muscles hindi taba. Pero lately, especially pag nakita mo yung Starstruck Update commercial nya…. Haaaaaaayyyy nako! Yung itsura nya, baklang bakla! Tapos yung mga Billboards nya, grabe, puro nakataas ang kilay. Well…. He does look like one, pero, malay natin, baka mahinhin lang sya. Nga pala, may pantapat na yung Kapamilya sa Sugo. Panday, si Echo ang bida, tapos si Heart Evangelista yung leading lady nya. Diba may Pinoy Channel dyan or something? I bet you already know that. Do you watch Pinoy Big Brother? Wala lang. Pogi ni Sam no? Pero, parang medyo ayoko sa kanya. Oh yeah, si Hero Angeles, Kapuso na. Oh well… Thanks for understanding…. And sorry for the delay din ng chapter na to. I fell asleep yesterday while waiting for the time…. Anyway, thanks a lot for giving me your 3rd praise spot!
To starlitxSkY and meow-mix23, hahahahaha! All the answers are revealed on this chapter. This is it! Thanks anyway!
To Maixx, oh no….. You have to believe me, I'm not watching Stairway to heaven…. Actually I did, I think three episodes or something? But I haven't seen the part you're saying. Promise! Hindi ko alam, kasi nakabase itong plot ng sequel ko dun sa story na ginawa ko nga about two years ago. Anyway, new shows sa GMA? Hmm…. Darna, Encantadia (teka, new ba yun?) tapos…. Naabutan mo ba yung Sugo? Kay Richard Gutierrez yun. Tapos, yung Attic Cat, tapos na rin. Sassy Girl Chun Yang yung ipinalit. Naabutan mo ba yung Full House? Wala lang…. Yun pa lang so far. Oo nga pala, si Hero Angeles, nasa GMA na. Anyway, thanks for the review!
And lastly, to cherriblossomxz, well, as I keep on telling everyone, all the answers are here. Thanks!
So that's that, and here's what you're waiting for…. Chapter 8.
Disclaimer: Please believe me! My story is not based on Stairway to Heaven but to my own story two years back! And of course, CCS is not mine. Oh, and the song Everything I do, I do it for you is so not mine. But I love the song.
Chapter 8: To Die For
The Hospital Room
Sakura opened her eyes with a start. Where am I? She thought, looking around at the plain white view she's seeing as she slowly sat down. She looked on her bedside table and found a vase full of white roses. It took her a while before she realized what happened.
I got an attack… I'm at the hospital…
"You're awake now."
She turned at the door and found Syaoran entering her room. She smiled back, but it faded quite soon as she noticed Syaoran's hand which is tightly bandaged.
"Syao-kun, what happened to your hand?" She asked meekly, Syaoran shook his head and placed it behind his back.
"It's nothing. Did you like the flowers?"
Sakura didn't reply, instead, stared intently at him. Syaoran stared back for a moment, and then sighed.
"Is it because…. Of—"
"I know."
Sakura looked away from him. He knows…
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well… what do you want me to tell you?"
"You could've told me that you're—" Then, he stopped. Sakura looked at him, pained.
"I could've told you what? That I'm dying?"
"Yes!"
"Yeah… I could've told you… So you wouldn't have learned to love me." Sakura sighed, returning her gaze at the flowers. "This is the real reason why I'm trying my best not to fall in love with you. (Yep, that's the beginning, you can check the Falling for it.) All I wanted was to see you… I never planned all these…. I've accepted it…. I thought it's gone but still I'm choosing not to fall for anyone so I wont hurt them. And of all people I don't want you to get hurt… but… I failed."
Syaoran sighed, sitting beside her on the bed as Sakura's tears began to flow. He placed his arms protectively around her. "I never meant anything. You could've told me… So I could've loved you more than I was supposed to. I told you before, and I'll say it again. I never regret it. I never regret the kiss I gave you years back…. I never regret loving you. No way I'm gonna start now. (The regret thing and the kiss is also in Falling)."
Sakura cried, wrapping her arms around his waist hopelessly, continuously muttering I don't want to die. Syaoran sighed.
"You wont." He whispered back, though he doubted she even heard.
A few minutes later, Sakura was back, asleep again. He softly kissed her on the lips, and walked out of the place. Then, he picked his cel and dialed.
"Eriol? Yeah…. I want you to do something for me. You remember the list of songs you gave me a few weeks before? The one with the lyrics? I wanna see it again. Bring it later… I'm coming to practice for the concert."
(note: that's reason I said the practice thing there, is because, if you remember Falling, and for those who haven't read it yet, Syaoran always wants things on Impromptu and doesn't practice for the concert.)

The Concert (yes, I know, great time shift. But this is just a few days after)
Finally, Syaoran finished his last song.
No, I still have another one. Another LAST one. He thought, smiling at the people screaming 'one more' at him.
"Yeah, another one." He declared, making everyone scream with joy. "One last."
He waited for a few moments until the screams died down, before he continued. "I never fancied singing any revivals…. But… she really wanted me to sing it. So I think I should… Just once."
People screamed once more, as the music began. He took a deep breath.
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Immediately, all the memories flashed into his mind. All his memories of him and a certain auburn-haired girl.
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
The day he first saw her when he arrived at Japan…. When they first went on a date….
Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Their first kiss…. When they went to the beach…. When he left her crying…
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Until he returned, and them reunited…. Their supposedly happy ending.
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
Until what happened recently…. And his decision.
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
(FLASHBACK)
"I know what to do now." Syaoran said quietly sitting down in front of the Doctor's office. "A few months ago, Sakura made this project thing about blood and stuff. We've got the same RF Factor."
"Li-san, I know where this is getting at."
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
"But this is the only way!"
"Li-san, were not supposed to take specimens from people that are still alive."
"Yeah, and leave someone dead because of stupid rules?"
"Li-san—"
"I'll pay you."
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
"Li-san, this is difficult for me."
"No it's not. You're not forcing me. I wanted this."
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
"You have to be sure of this Li-san."
"I'm sure of this." Syaoran looked at the doctor with a determined face.
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you
"Give my heart to her."
(END)
Syaoran's tears began to fall. This is how she loved her. She told her…. He'd die to make her live. He'd do it, no matter what.
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
He closed his eyes, leaning his forehead to the microphone, and the lights of the stage dimmed out… For the very last time.
