Flashback from the last chapter...
Syaoran couldn't describe how thankful he was in words. He gently took the chain from Sakura's hand and pulled her into a big hug.
"Thank you so much, my Cherry Blossom..."
Sakura just smiled.
"You're welcome, Little Wolf..."
"KAWAII!" squealed Tomoyo, Meiling and Katrina altogether.
(Katrina is no longer bitchy towards them. She is actually a nice person deep inside.)
Everyone else just sighed. The Tomoyo-disease was spreading around – fast.
Chapter 33
"Now," said Tomoyo, with her finger resting on her chin. "How are we going to get back?"
"We could always use the chain thingy..." suggested Meiling thoughtfully.
Then, in the distance, they saw a little black got gliding around in the air leaving a trail of what looked like dust behind it.
As it flew closer and closer to them, they were able to make out what it was.
"It's some sort of pink and black butterfly!" said Eriol, squinting at it. "I've never seen a butterfly with those colours before."
Sakura's eyes widened.
"It's that butterfly!" she blurted out without thinking.
"You've seen it before?" asked Eriol, looking at her suspiciously.
"Umm..." replied Sakura awkwardly. "Yeah! I saw it in my dream!"
Eriol nodded, believing her. Sakura sighed.
"Do you want to get out of here now?" asked Meiling impatiently.
"Wait a moment," said Tomoyo. "I want to see it up close."
Sakura privately agreed with her.
As the butterfly flew closer, everyone could see every detail of its wings and the thin trail of glittering dust as it flew over them.
"Kirei..." whispered Tomoyo, pressing the zoom button on her video camera.
The trail of dust that the butterfly left behind landed gently on top of everyone and disappeared.
"We've already spent a lot of time here," said Syaoran. "I agree with Meiling. We should get back to school now."
As soon as those words left his mouth, all of them felt a tingling sensation as they dissolved into thin air, transporting to where they were previously.
Their bodies slowly dissolved from the tips of their feet upwards to their heads and reappeared again back where they were before.
Sakura and the others appeared back on stage at school, completely healed with absolutely no traces of injuries.
Kero returned to his video game, still with the words 'GAME OVER' flashing on the screen.
Yukito was eating again. (Was he doing that before they got transported? Anyway...let's just say he was...)
Sakura looked at the audience. They didn't seem to notice anything different.
'Time must've froze when we got transported to that place,' she thought to herself.
She glanced at Syaoran, who glanced back at her and they both smiled slightly and turned away again.
"THE JUDGES HAVE MADE THEIR FINAL DECISION!" said the new host. "LET'S HAVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR FIRST GROUPS OF WINNERS!"
They all held their breath.
"THE ELITE THREE! CONGRATULATIONS TO ERIOL HIIRAGASAWA, SYAORAN LI AND YAMAZAKI TAKASHI!"
The three of them walked awkwardly to the front of the stage and received the applause.
"BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO THE OTHER BOYS GROUP FOR GETTING THIS FAR!"
There was more applause.
The three boys that were part of that group stepped forward and collected their runners up prizes.
"NOW FOR THE WINNERS OUT OF THE GIRLS!"
All six of the girls on stage shuffled their feet out of nervousness.
"PLEASE WELCOME OUR GIRL WINNERS FOR 2005! THE FEISTY THREE!"
Sakura, Meiling and Tomoyo were a little disappointed, but were extremely happy for Rika, Naoko and Chiharu. They all gave each other hugs and whispered a little congratulations to them.
"NAOKO YANAGISA! CHIHARU MIHARA! RIKA SASAKI!" screamed the host as the three girls stepped forward, each with a big smile plastered on their face.
Everyone cheered for them.
"THERE WE HAVE IT, EVERYONE – OUR WINNERS OF THIS YEAR'S HIP, HOP AND TWIRL! I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED IT!"
Everyone cheered again.
"Now," spoke one of the teachers into a microphone. "We will have a very special award this year that we have never done before."
Everyone in the hall exchanged glances of excitement.
"We have one more award to give out to two special winners – not necessarily the winners of today. This is the award we call the "cutest couple"."
Tomoyo glanced sideways and gave a fake cough. Eriol shifted his feet and smirked.
"This award is given to the "cutest couple", especially recommended by a few people from this school."
With this comment, Tomoyo faked a coughed again.
"Please welcome Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li!"
Sakura stayed where she was, not having taken in anything that the teacher was saying.
Tomoyo nudged her and Sakura said a tiny "Oww..."
The teacher cleared her throat loudly.
"Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li," she said again.
Sakura blinked, finally realized what the teacher was on about and blushed deeply and took a small step forward.
Syaoran gave her a small smile and she blushed again.
Tomoyo smiled evilly and glanced at the teacher, as if asking for permission.
The teacher gave her a slightest nod.
Tomoyo rubbed her hands together.
'This is going to be interesting,' she thought to herself.
She then glanced at Eriol and nodded to him.
She held up three fingers behind her back.
She put one finger down.
She put another finger down.
As she put the last finger down, she gave Sakura a large push, while Eriol did the same to Syaoran.
Sakura ended up in Syaoran's arms, both blushing heavily.
Everyone cheered.
"I love you, Sakura..." whispered Syaoran into her ear, still holding her.
Sakura smiled.
"I love you too."
He gently leaned down and slowly pressed his lips to hers, captivating her in a long, sweet kiss.
THE END
Yay! I've finally finished! Sorry for the incredibly long wait – I know this chapter wasn't as long as the others. I shall put up a sequel hopefully called 'Destiny's Bonds' as soon as possible, but I won't be able to update as soon as I used to. Even though I have holidays right now, I am still quite busy and my brother always wants to use the computer. So anyway, I hope you've all enjoyed the story and REVIEW! Please...
