A/N: Hi guys! I know you are still upset with my chapter 8…. This is supposedly the ending but I have a surprise for you…………………… because I love you guys very much…………………………….. I'm adding another chapter! Now, let it be another cliffhanger, because I'm posting it at the same time I'm posting this! So, no need for the big wait or whatever.

Now, I think I wont answer any reviews now…. So that…. Oh nothing, I just feel like it. Anyway, before all, I want to thank you guys for everything. Well, you made this story possible, you made me happy, and allowed me to "reach the stars".

And also, I would like to say sorry, because I was checking my chapter 8 a while ago and I noticed some grammatical errors. Sorry, but it's just that…. I was too excited I get those things.

Anyway, here we go.

Disclaimer: I do not own Carcaptor Sakura. For the very last time, I refuse to say that this story is based on Stairway to Heaven, so I am proud to claim the idea of this fanfiction.

Chapter 9: Back to where we started

Sakura opened her eyes with a start. She looked beside her, the familiar sight of the flower vase filled with white roses welcomed her sight. It has been two weeks since she was given an operation in the heart from an unknown person. Whoever he or she was, she silently thanked him.

"You're awake now."

She looked around, and found Meiling approaching her.

"Meiling."

"How do you feel?" She asked kindly, sitting beside her.

"Kinda nice. I think I'll survive. Thanks to the person who gave his or her heart to me."

After that, Meiling fell silent. Sakura looked at her, and noticed her pained face staring back at her, as if she wanted to tell something to her.

"Meiling? Any problem?"

This time, Meiling couldn't help the tears. She quickly wiped it away at the back of her palm and smiled. "Nothing."

"But you're crying."

"Don't mind me."

"Mei…. Where's Syaoran?"

Sakura looked at her for a moment. Meiling's smile faded, and, once more, tears began to flow uncontrollably on her cheeks. Sakura's heartbeat began to go faster.

"Meiling?"

Meiling shook her head, and reached to her pocket. She then took out a neatly folded white letter envelope, and handed it to her. "I'll leave you alone to read it. I'll wait outside if you need anything." With that, she walked away.

Sakura looked uncertainly at the envelope she's holding. Slowly, she opened it, and revealed a letter with a familiar hand-writing. She took a deep breath, and began to read it.

How are you feeling now? I'm pretty sure you still have no idea. I could imagine how Meiling would give this letter to you… simply looking at you, while tears pouring uncontrollably in her eyes. Well, never mind. I chose this path. I want to do this. I did this for you.

Before I forget, I made a surprise for you. Ask Eriol for it. I'm sure you'll love it.

You must be wondering… why are you reading a letter made by me when you can actually talk to me…

You asked me before… what would I do if you're gone? And do you remember my answer? I'd die…. To make you live. Yeah… You must be getting the draft now.

No, don't even think of blaming yourself…. Not even once. This is my choice. No one asked me to do it. No one forced me into it. I wanted this.

I wanted to give up my life for you. I wanted to give up everything to you. I wanted to give up my wealth and happiness for you. I wanted to lose my career and pedestal to you. I wanted to die for you. Call it crazy, yes, I must be crazy. But I don't care what people say. I just, and would always want the best for you.

I was thinking… Is it ok if you bury me at the Church Ruins? I wanted to protect your sacred place. So I could always pick the flowers for you and watch over you.

Just one thing. Never be sad. Maybe I cant stop you from crying and feeling pain. But move on, even without me. I want you to be happy. Stay strong. I don't want you to die like this. I want you to die an old woman, on her bed, simply waiting for her time. Not right now.

Thank you for everything, Sakura. I'm glad you came into my life. Thank you. And I will always love you… forever. Never forget that.

Syaoran.

Tears flowed from her eyes while reading the letter. Why? Why do you have to do this? She thought, hugging the letter tightly into her chest. I love you Syaoran…. Thank you. Thank you…

And now were back to where we started.

In the field full of white roses and different flowers, was a bench in the middle. Not too far away is a big stone…. A monument…. And there, in the bench, sat a girl with long auburn hair.

It has been three long years…. Three fat long years…. And I never realized that's how long it's been. She looked around, until her eye catches the monument, and automatically, her eyes were filled with different emotions. Three long years I resisted the urge to come here.

She looked down at a tightly sealed paper bag in her hand, refusing to open it even once.

Sometimes I tend to listen, to look around, refusing it really is happening. No, refusing it happened. And whenever I think of it, they all enter my mind, They all get here in my head. But when I look back and see you not there, it wakes me up. It gives me pain.

Sakura walked towards the monument. As soon as she reached the place, she slowly placed the paperbag down, and smiled.

"Sorry it took me a long time." She took a deep breath, before continuing. "Here's your shirt, I think it's time I return it to you after three long years. Sorry it took me long enough to visit you. Maybe I'm scared. Yes… I was so scared to admit the fact you're gone… that you sacrificed your life for me… until now."

She looked up at the sky and smiled. "Are you up there, watching me? You better keep your promise to boast to all the angels how pretty your girlfriend is." Then, she looked down at the tomb. "Thank you."

"Ku!"

Sakura looked around, and smiled. "Syaoran! C'mere!"

And in came a three year old kid with messy brown hair and emerald eyes.

Sakura smiled as he flung to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Ku….what are you doing there?"

"Saying hi to your Godfather Syao-kun." Sakura replied, pinching his nose playfully.

"Syao-kun? Ku, do we have the same name?" Little Syaoran asked innocently.

Sakura smiled. "Aa. Your mother wanted that. Let's go. Your dad would get furious to your Aunt Ku if we stayed longer."

"Hai." Syaoran smiled, as he held out his hand to Sakura. Sakura smiled back, and reached for it. Before they left, she turned to give one last look at the tomb, and smiled brightly, before leaving.
