Chapter five
Syaoran's father looked at the water and gasped. White light was bursting through the water's surface. He could hear the screams of the water, and collapsed to the ground.
Syaoran had done it. When the water had stolen his magic, Syaoran had given most of his soul with it. Something so powerful and bright, the water would never be able to take it.
Syaoran's father turned around when he felt a breath on his neck. Fai was standing behind him, is staff pointed at the King.
"Goodbye, King of darkness," Fai said, and he raised his staff. As he lowered it, the river lit up with a million colours.
At that moment, millions of souls were being set free. The lake shone with a mixture of multi-coloured lights. In the background was the sound of a scream. Slowly it got louder and then droned out all other noises.
The King looked at Fai with a deep hatred. He continued to glare at Fai, even as his skin began to peel off his body.
The King raised his hand and pointed at Fai. Just before he the time, his body burst apart and the remains fell into the water.
The water turned into a whirlpool and splashed against the walls. Fai moved against the door and the water splashed against Fai's feet.
The water suddenly calmed, and a cherry blossom floated to the surface of the water. Fai looked up. Through the ceiling, Fai could see the full moon shining brightly.
Fai smiled. He turned away and left the castle. He water had spread through the whole castle, killing all other then Fai that touched it.
Fai reached the bank and sat down. He put his cupped hand into the water and watched as the water overflowed.
Fai looked down at the water. He heard the laughter of his queen and her son, prince Syaoran. Fai had requested to take Syaoran's body here, to leave it with his mother. Syaoran was very respected, for he had made a great sacrifice and in return... had destroyed the evil that had corrupted so many.
The king had died, the sudden power destroying him. And the water had died with him. Syaoran's soul had burst free of it's boundaries, and destroyed the ones who had bound him. Fai smile with sadness, longing and joy. "Goodbye..... Syaoran....."
Sakura rocked on the wooden swing chair, looking at the moon with tear-filled eyes. She felt tears slip onto her clasped hands.
Sakura felt a twig covered in cherry blossoms fall onto her lap. She lifted it and examined it closely. It was full of pink cherry blossoms, yet, lying right in the middle, a white blossom shone through.
Sakura smiled softly and gently removed the white blossom from the twig. She held it in her hands and let her tears fall into the cup formed by her hands.
Sakura picked up the book she had by her side. It was full of poems and such, things to help her with her lessons.
Sakura picked up her pen and put it down on the paper. Multicolored ink flowed from the pen, sparkling in the moonlight.
Sakura concentrated her mind on one colour then began to write. The words seemed to move across the page, and all Sakura could think of was Syaoran's face.
"So kind... and honest.... pure, like a white cherry blossom." Sakura clutched her chest as she said these words. She sobbed even harder. "Syaoran..... I love you as well. With all my heart," Sakura whispered. And as if to prove it, all the cherry blossoms blew away.
The cherry blossoms scatter,
and my heart slowly shatters.
I cannot feel,
the bustling wind,
for my soul is still asleep.
I sit and rest
on the rocking chair,
where we sat,
in the sweet spring air.
But now I fear,
that I cannot,
keep my sadness
inside anymore.
I close my eyes,
and drift away,
to the world,
that you left in my mind.
We go to a river,
of my tears,
play a melody,
that I can't hear.
I feel moisture
on my cheek,
so I cover my face.
I lie down
on the soft wood,
and slowly begin to sob.
I lie there,
crying,
for your not there
with me.
You are gone,
I am here,
there is nothing to feel
but despair.
It is then,
that I feel,
the effects of
my heart breaking.
I could not say,
what I wanted to,
and now I can't
say it to you.
And so,
I call
your only remains,
and call out,
your painful name.
The cherry blossoms,
disappear,
and the last one,
falls in my hair.
And I slowly let,
out on final sob,
and say
the last and only
thing there is left to say:
"Goodbye"
Sakura closed the book and she stood up. She turned around and left the book on the swing chair. She turned and left the the book there, surrounded by petals.
Princess Sakura never married, but became a queen that everyone adored. The whole land turned from split to combined, and everyone lived without fear and danger.
The gracious queen died twenty years after the time when she came to the high throne from an unknown cause. But.. when she died, many believed it was because of her long lost love's death, and her heart had finally gave in.
But now.... many still remember the old legend of the prince of two powers and how he saved many from the powers of the dark. Yet still... even now.... there is only one cherry blossom tree..... in the middle of a river beside the castle.
Two years after her death, a book from her possession. Many fell in love with the poem right away, and it became a very popular work. Even now, the poem is still retold. Now known as the story of the moon, the darkness and the cherry blossom.
So.... what did you think? This is the first story that I've completed that has more then one chapter. Yay! Thank you to all whom reviewed faithfully. I hope you all enjoyed this story. I'm sorry if the ending wasn't very good. I wrote the poem when I first started writing this fic.I hope that you liked it! Goodbye everybody!!
