Altername Ending Part II

Sakura's POV

I woke up to bright lights in my eyes. Damn those are bright. I tried moving my arm, but I was striken with a shot of pain. I look to my side to the source of the pain. Why am I bandaged up? What the hell happened? Then I remembered....the warehouse.

"MAYA! JACK!" I screamed.

"Sakura!" I looked to see who yelled my name. It was Tomoyo. She ran to my side. "Oh my God. Thank goodness you're awake! How are you feeling?" She asked.

"I'm not gonna lie, I feel like crap Tomoyo." I said truthfully.

"Well, duh. You were shot." She said in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"The kids?" I said.

"They're fine Sakura. Just fine. They're in the hospital daycare. Syaoran and Eriol are with them. No need to worry hun. The police caught Kimi and Hiro and got them to confess."

I relaxed at the thought of Maya and Jack with Syaoran.

"They...they told them about Tina and Touya." Tomoyo said.

"What? Oh, God. They're gonna hate me for not telling them." I said.

"No Sakura. I talked to them about it. They took it better than I thought they would. I explained why we didn't tell them, and I think they understood. They're a little upset, but they'll be fine. Like I said, nothing to worry about." Tomoyo explained.

"Are we intertupting?"

Tomoyo and I looked towards the door to see who it was.

Syaoran.

My savior.

"No, no. She just woke up." Tomoyo said.

"How ya feeling?" He asked me.

"I was shot, how do you think I feel?" I said.

"Like crap, I'm guessing." Syaoran laughed. I smiled.

"I'm gonna go talk to the doctor about your discharge." Tomoyo said. She made her way to the door, and winked at me. Does my best friend know me or what? Syaoran walked over and sat on the chair next to the hospital bed.

"So did Tomoyo tell you?" Syaoran asked.

"Yeah..she did." I sighed.

"Depressing huh? This whole thing could have been preventable." Syaoran said, hanging his head, avoiding eye contact. Why isn't he looking at me? Do I look like crap too? Whatever. I saw his hand and slowly grabbed it. I started feeling tears well up in my eyes.

"Syaoran," I started, "If, if you didn't come at that moment...I would have died." I said. My tears began trickling down my cheeks uncontrollably. "What would I have done?"

"Relax Sakura." He said, squeezing my hand. "That's all in the past. You need to look to the future. Everything will be fine. Don't cry please." He wiped my tears away. "Smile that pretty little smile of yours."

"You're such a loon." I laughed. He laughed too.

End of Sakura's POV

2 Weeks Later

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birhtday too you! Happy birthday dear Maya! Happy birthday to you!" Everyone at the party cheered.

"Make a wish." Sakura told Maya. Maya closed her eyes, and blew out her candles. Everyone cheered.

"I'm older!" Maya sang.

"Yes you are." Tomoyo laughed and started cutting the cake and serving it.

Sakura walked over to the bench in the park where the party was being held. It's been 2 weeks since the incident in the warehouse. She remember's it as clear as day. She remember's what the judge had ruled. The punishment he chose for Hiro and Kimi. Kiro would go to prison for life for murder and kidnap, and Kimi would be sent to a mental institution for unstable started thinking about her brother and how much she missed him. She thought about how many times they fought when they were younger, and how many times they told each other that they hated each other....how unimportant all those fights seemed....She missed Tina. She remembers the day Touya showed Sakura the ring he bought for Tina. She was so excited about it. Their wedding day was beautiful....it was the perfect wedding. All these memories were going on in her head like a slideshow. Fresh, warm tears began falling from Sakura's eyes.

"Can I sit here?"

Sakura gazed up into the eyes of Syaoran Li.

"Sure." Sakura croaked, and began quickly wiping her tears away. "Crap, my make up."

"It looks like you walked out of a horror movie." Syaoran said.

"Shut up." Sakura lightly punched him.

"Think about you're brother?"

"Yeah.." Sakura sighed.

"Don't cry. He's up there somewhere, watching you." Syaoran looked up. "If he saw you crying, I'm pretty sure he'd think it was my fault and come to haunt me."

Sakura laughed. "Oh now we don't want that to happen now do we?"

"No we don't. Well, I don't." Syaoran smiled. "Anyway, I got something for you."

"Wrong birthday girl, stupid." Sakura smiled.

"No." Syaoran said. "I got you something." He handed Sakura a present bag.

"You got me a present? Why?"

"Felt like it." Syaoran smiled. Sakura opened the present.

It was the stuffed bunny she saw when she went to buy Maya a birhtday gift with Syaoran.

"Oh my God." Sakura whispered. Tears began welling up again.

"Oh, please don't cry! You cry a lot ya know?" Syaoran joked.

"Thank you. Thank you so much Syaoran. This is probably one of the best gifts ever."

"Is it really that great? I don't know. I saw you eyeing it that day at the store. Why is it so special anyways?" Syaoran asked.

"Touya got my one when I was little for my seventh birthday. I love it so much, I took it with my everywhere. It was so special. I just fell in love with it. But one day, our neighbour's dog chewed and ripped it up. I cried a lot that day. Touya promised to buy me a new one, but never did. He wasn't able to save up enough money. He was too busy with school and everything. He never got around to it. I guess I kinda forgot about it too.." Sakura explained. She wiped her tears away and put the bunny back into the bag and put it to the side.

"Wow. So sentimental." Syaoran said, surprised.

"Yep." Sakura said. She then stood up, and Syaoran stood up too. They faced each other. They moved in closer and closer...so close...their lips almost touching...and they moved closer and their lips met. They shared a soft, sweet kiss.

When they parted, they smiled, and began kissing again. This is what it feels like to be happy, Sakura thought.

And they lived happily ever after. Well, for now I guess.
