A/N: *Throws Flowers all over the place.* I'm really, really glad that I stuck through with this fanfic. I am planning on updating my other two CCS fanfics in a couple of days, hopefully. I can't stand to keep everyone waiting any longer. On with the Story's Final Chapter....

A/N2: Someone has actually, finally asked..."Where's Meilin??" Answer: I have no clue...I threw her in here, but she died out?? Not sure where she fits, exactly. I might actually edit her out. Gah... Also... in this story, I had made her name as Mei Ling (which some call her).

Disclaimer: I do now own CardCaptor Sakura.

Epilogue: New Life, New Family

--Five Years Later...--

--Author's POV--

Twenty-One Year-Old, Kinomoto Sakura, stood hovering over a tombstone. The tombstone wasn't anything too fancy, but just right. She smiled, while tears formed in her eyes.

"Mother, it's me, Sakura. I know it's been years since I've last visited you. I know that you must think very little of me now." Sakura started. She bent down lower, so she could be eye-level with the tombstone.

Sakura's eyes weren't about to stop flooding. "Mother, Touya has been released from jail and is now doing community service for one year. He even managed to fall in love as well. Her name is Megumi and she was also doing community service for something she had done as well. They hit it off pretty well." Sakura sniffed.

Turning her head slightly, she looked at another tombstone which had her father, Kinomoto Fujitaka's name on it.

"Mother, after Father was caught for shooting in the courthouse, he was sentenced to life in prison. Apparently that didn't happen. After a year that he was in prison, we had found out that he had contracted a disease while in prison. The doctors said that there was no hope for him and he was not going to live very long. He had died approximately three days after my 17th birthday, on which that was the anniversary of his first year in prison. I was kind of glad that he had passed on early, that way he wouldn' t have to suffer through so much pain. Touya had wanted to place Father at another site, but I had begged to let Father's resting place be with you. At least, both of you are now free."

"Sakura, are you just about done?", came from a soft, sexy, low voice. Out from the shadows, a man of twenty-one years of age, stood tall and proud. His chestnut hair swaying in the wind, and his amber eyes glowing ever so brightly.

Sakura smiled. "I'll be done in a minute, Syao." Turning her head back towards her mother's grave, she spoke softly, "Mother, I know that you haven't officially met him, but I would like you to meet my fiancŽe, Li Xiao Lang, or just Syaoran. After all the harsh times that I have been through, he was there for me. He saved me, he rescued me from myself. I am so glad to have met him, I am so glad that he had transferred into my high school. We're now going to be married tomorrow. Please watch from above. I love you, Mother."

Standing up from where she was kneeling, Sakura brushed off any residue that was clinging to the bottom of her dress. She smilled and turned her head towards Syaoran.

"Syao, ready to go?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran, leaned up from the tree that he was leaning on. "Been ready. Let's start shopping!!"

'I have never seen Syaoran look so happy in shopping.' Sakura thought. "Syaoran, I never knew that you liked shopping so much!?"

With a flip of his hair, Syaoran smirked and replied, "Sweetie, when it comes to baby shopping stuff, you know I'll be there."

Sakura smiled.

--Sakura's POV--

I smiled.

As we were walking through the cemetary back to the car, I spoke. "Syao, it's been five years since that day. I'm so glad that you were alright."

Syaoran looked at me as if I was crazy. "Sakura, you know that I would never leave you right? I wouldn't have dreamed of dieing on you just when everything was getting better."

I looked down towards the pavement. "I know, it's just that when I woke up in the hospital room, I thought that I really had lost you."

I felt my chin lift up. I just happened to automatically stare into those deep amber eyes. I was mesmerized.

"Sakura, for a second you almost did lose me. Remember? If it hadn't been for your pursuading attempts to bring me back, I would not be here with you right now. You are everything to me Sakura Kinomoto. You know that I would have died for you as long as you were alright." Syaoran said to me, looking me directly in the eyes.

I felt my own eyes start to tear. They weren't tears of sadness, they were tears of happiness. "Syaoran, I want to walk down that aisle with you tomorrow. Let's start shopping!!" I took his hand, and we started our way to our car.

--Flashback to Five Years Ago--

--Author's POV--

Sakura let out a heartfelt scream. "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" There he was, her fiance was on the ground.

Sakura fell to the ground. "Syaoran?? Syaoran!! OH god, please Syao, talk to me."

Yelen and Sonomi went to call an ambulance, while the judge had all the guards capture Kinomoto Fujitaka.

'No...NO!! This can't be happening. I, I just found happiness...now they're taking it away.' Sakura thought, with tears streaming down her face.

Next thing she knew....all was black.

-BEEP-   -BEEP-   -BEEP-   -BEEP-   -BEEP-   -BEEP-

The sound of a heart moniter was going off. Kinomoto Sakura lied on the hospital bed. Slowly, but surely her eyes started to open.

"Finally!! I thought I would have to wait for an eternity for you to wake up!" yelled an all too familiar voice.

I moan escaped Sakura's lips. "Wh...Where am I?" Sakura let her sleepy eyes tear across the room.

"You are in the hospital, Stupid! Geez, get with the program girl. You didn't become Syaoran's fiance for nothing!" yelled the voice.

Sakura moved her arm to rub her eyes and then massage her head. "I swear I heard this voice before, but where to place it."

"It's me! The girl you stole Syaoran from! Mei Ling!! Mei Ling!!" Mei Ling cried.

Sakura's eyes opened wide. "Mei...Mei Ling!!"

Mei Ling crossed her arms together, "Dang, you must have hit your head harder than I thought."

"What are you doing here? Where have you been anyways?" Sakura asked, still looking around.

Mei Ling, who was leaning against the hospital wall, stood away from it. "I've been scouting other guys, of course, but that doesn't have any importance to you. As to why I'm here, I'm here to bring you to Syaoran as soon as you had woken up."

"Syaoran!? Oh God, is he okay??" Sakura frantically asked.

Mei Ling hmphed. "Why don't you see for yourself." Mei Ling's bangs fell over her eyes. "He's been like this since he been out of surgery. Maybe, you can wake him up."

Sakura's eyes fell down to her bed. "Syaoran...how...how long has it been since then?"

Mei Ling averted her gaze. "Six Days. You've been out for six days. These past six days, Xiao Lang has been suffering. Waiting for you to wake him up! So now, go and wake him up!!"

Sakura gulped. She has never seen anyone as angry as Mei Ling was. Sure she would go wake him up, but she can't even get out of the bed.

"Mei Ling, I would go, but... the bars are up on this bed, and I can't get out." Sakura embarrassingly said.

Mei Ling blushed. She released the bars and got Sakura a wheel chair. "Here, let's go already."

Mei Ling helped Sakura get out of the bed. Slowly, Sakura grabbed a hold of the wall, and made her way towards the door. She had to get to Syaoran, she had to know if he was alright.

The face that Mei Ling had shown wasn't a pretty one. She couldn't tell Sakura about Syaoran, if Sakura really wanted to know, she would have to see for herself.

"Mei Ling?" Sakura asked.

Mei Ling turned her head a bit to glance at Sakura. "What?"

Sakura put her head down, "I was wondering... You and Syaoran are cousins, yet why is it that you guys had to marry each other?"

Mei Ling stopped in her tracks. Mei Ling mumbled something very faint to the ears.

"What was that Mei Ling?" Sakura asked. As Sakura couldn't make out the words.

"It's because we are both from the Li Clan. It only seems right to have two Li Clan members marry so the bloodline stays strong." Mei Ling cried in Anguish.

Sakura gasped. She had no idea that Mei Ling had such emotions for Syaoran. "You, I really do love him, don't you..."

"Of course I do!! I've loved him since we were both kids. I know that we are cousins, but the Elders were the one to make the decision...and...and now, now you stole Syaoran away from me. He was my everything, and yet, he has fallen for the likes of you! I despise you, Sakura Kinomoto! I despise you, but..." Mei Ling let everything out, she fell to the floor and started crying. "I, I can't hate you."

Sakura stood dumbfounded. Sakura had no idea how Mei Ling's feelings for Syaoran were that strong. Sure, she knew that Mei Ling had feelings, but to this point...

Sakura kneeled down to Mei Ling's eye level. "Mei Ling, I know what I have done to you was horrible. I admit, I hadn't plan on falling in love with him, nor had I known that he was falling for me. It just happened Mei Ling. It just happened that way. I know that you don't like me, and I probably would never get your blessings, but right now, Syaoran is the one who needs us, and only Syaoran can tell you how he feels about me, and about you." Sakura extended a hand to Mei Ling.

Mei Ling looked at the stretched out hand and grasped it. Despite how much she despised Sakura, she couldn't help but feel warmth when Sakura helps someone.

Both of them slowly made it down the hallway where Syaoran was resting. Upon reaching the door, they had found Yelen, Sonomi, Eriol, Tomoyo, and the others waiting by the door.

Tomoyo's eyes brightened. "Oh Sakura! You're awake! I'm so glad that you are alright!." Tomoyo said, while giving Sakura a big hug.

Sakura smiled. "I'm fine, Tomoyo. How is Syaoran doing?"

Tomoyo's smile fell. "He's been in this state since he got out of surgery. He hasn't awakened yet, we think that you may be the only one."

Sakura was handed a hospital gown and a mask. She opened the door and made her way to Syaoran.

Tears started to well up in Sakura's eyes. 'Oh god, Syaoran!! Please, please wake up.' Sakura thought. Of course, her thoughts weren't going to go through to him.

Sakura sat down in the chair next to him, and grabbed his cold hand. She winced from the temperature change.

"Syaoran? Syaoran, are you listening? I want you to know that I'm thankful that you had taken the bullet for me. However, I'm not to impressed at your healing abilities. You're the Xiao Lang, you shouldn't be in the hospital like this. So, please Syaoran, wake up!!" Sakura's eyes filled with tears.

Sakura couldn't hold it in any longer. Seeing Syaoran in an immobilized state was too much for her. She cried and put her head down on his bed. She cried, and cried till she couldn't cry anymore.

"Syaoran, why? When we have just found each other... I, I love you Syaoran. So don't leave me yet." Sakura said, before drifting off.

--Syaoran's POV--

It's dark. There is nothing around me. So why do I hear so much noise?

I look around the pitch blackness, I yell out. "Hello!!! Can anyone hear me??" Nothing. Just my echo ringing in every direction.

I sighed. I decided to sit down as I had nothing else to do. If I kept walking, I'd get no where. If I kept yelling, no one would hear me. Sitting down was my best choice.

I closed my eyes. I thought about why I am in this predicament. I memory of me getting shot by a bullet, covering the girl I loved. It was then I realized why I'm here. I'm here because I protecting the person that was more important to me then life itself.

I stood up and started running. I kept running and running until I couldn't run anymore. Why couldn't I get out of this place? I need to go back and make sure Sakura is alright. It was then, that I heard distant voices.

"Syaoran? Syaoran, are you listening?" was the voice I clearly heard. It was Sakura. The voice was muffled, but it was certainly her voice.

"Sakura!! Sakura!! I'm listening!! Can't you hear me!??" I yelled out.

Sakura kept talking. "I want you to know that I'm thankful that you had taken the bullet for me. However, I'm not to impressed at your healing abilities. You're the Xiao Lang, you shouldn't be in the hospital like this. So, please Syaoran, wake up!!"

My eyes were starting to water. I wanted to wake up badly. Why couldn't I wake up?? Then I heard it, the words I was longing to hear.

"I, I love you Syaoran." Those words kept echoing within the darkness of this emptiness.

I sat back down, distraught. "I, love you too, Sakura." I softly said, tears running down my face.

The next thing I know, there was a bright light which enveloped me....

--Author's POV--

Syaoran's hand twitched. That little twitch made Sakura jump up. She looked around the room, and then noticed Syaoran's eyes were trying to open.

"Syaoran?? Oh, please wake up!! You can do it!!" Sakura cried.

Syaoran's eyes fluttered open. "S...Saku...ra?" Syaoran hoarsely said.

Sakura smiled through her tears. "Oh god!! Thank You!! I'm so glad!!" Sakura jumped up to hug him.

"Ouch!!" Syaoran winced.

Sakura let go. "Oops! Sorry!"

--End Flashback--

"Syaoran!! What do you think of this one??" Sakura brightly asked. It has been a while since that incident, and finally, Sakura is going to be married to Syaoran and also have a baby.

"Sakura, just pick anything. Remember, I can afford anything." Syaoran sighed. Sure, he had said he was excited about baby shopping things, but he hadn't expected Sakura to take him to every single store in the mall.

Syaoran smiled. At least she's happy. With her new family, and new life...
