Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ The Love Of My Life ❯ The Love Of My Life ( Chapter 1 )

"We're here today, to honor Sakura Showron, whom was a loving mother of one, and friend to us all" the old man never stopped.

It was another gloomy night. It drizzled on and off and there was no sun in sight. Standing in the wet grass, everyone who knew Sakura Showron, or most everyone, stood near her grave, no one without a tear in their eye.

Li was in a black suit, standing closest to his wife's casket. He couldn't help it, all he thought about was all the times he had been rude to her. He knew she meant well, and now he was completely drowned in guilt. All the times she'd try to get him to work, get used to it, she'd always say "Someday Li, I won't be here. Would you be able to keep this place up?" Li sometimes took her seriously. He always thought she would be there for him, like she was when he was younger. He thought she'd be there to watch Cherry grow up and everything else, mother's and wife's do. 'I miss you Sakura,' he said over and over in his head. He refused to believe she was gone.

His wife's' casket was already in the ground, and he threw pink cherry blossoms in. They were her favorite. Cherry stepped beside Li.

"I love you mom." she whispered, tears streaming down her face continuously. Li realized he had a tear go down his face as well. He wiped it off. Soon, he looked around at other people throwing in flowers. Madison was there, along with Eli, Aiden, Samantha, Meilin, Shiefa, Fuutie, Fanren, Feimei and even Yelan Showron, her own mother, was there. So was, Chelsea, Nikki, Rita, Ruby, Spinner and Kero.

"Hey Cherry. You alright?" Madison, still was calm and soft. Cherry turned around, she wasn't smiling.

"She never got to see me go to my senior prom, or watch me graduate, or get married." Cherry started to cry some more. She couldn't help it, her mom was gone. Forever. Madison took Cherry's head and rested it against her shoulder. Cherry just cried on and on. "She planned out my entire dress for my prom too. It was really pretty." she managed through tears. Madison slowly patted her head. "Don't worry. I know how you feel. Except it was my father." Cherry just cried harder. "Cherry, you should come home now." "Alright." She sniffled. Madison and Cherry left together and soon the others all left too. Except for one devoted man. Li Showron. "Sakura, I'll be with you soon." He murmured. He stared at her gravestone.

Sakura Showron,

Mother of one, Cherry Showron and wife to Li Showron.

She will always be remembered by everyone as the sweet cherry blossom.

Her little wolf and flower remember her always.

"Sakura." He whispered.

He left the cemetery and went home, slowly and found, Madison and Cherry listening to the radio. Eli was standing by, quietly.

"And here's, R. Kelly with I Wish." The DJ announced.

Li turned it up a little, to cheer up his gloomy mood.

Rolling through the hood, just stopped by to say what's up

Come to let you know you're baby boy ain't doing so tough,

Even though you past going on four long years,

I'm still waking up late at night crying tears,

Just thinking about those days you used to talk to me,

Smiling while I'm sipping on this hennessee,

And remember we'd brag on how rich we would be,

To get up out this hood was like a fantasy,

And now you hear my songs, the radio is playing,

Oooh, I can't believe my ears and what everybody's saying,

Boy I tell you folks don't know the half,

I would give it all up just to take on ride.. With you

How I used to kick it on the front porch.. With you And how I used to lay back and smoke weed.. With you

And all the little basement party joints we'd do.. Now I'm just missing you.

How I Wish

"This song.. It's so- depressing." Cherry said.

I wish that I could hold you now,

I wish that I could touch you know,

I wish that I could talk to you,

Be with you somehow,

I know you're in a better place,

Even though I can't see your face,

I know you're smiling down on me,

Saying everything's okay,

And if I make it out this thug life,

I'll see you again someday

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish, I wish I wish

Ever since this money come it's been nothing but stress,

Sometimes I wish that I could just trade in my success,

Ya'll look at me and say, "Boy, you've been blessed"

But ya'll don't seen the inside of my unhappiness,

Man, I swear this shit gets heavy like a ton,

That's why you hear me shooting this real shit off like a gun,

Hmmm, I wonder how my friends would treat me now,

If I wasn't iced up with a bentley and a house,

That's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digits and

Fake ass playas get a real playa hating `em,

Honey Love goes platinum and ya'll niggas come around,

But ya'll don't wanna raise the roof until my niggas going down,

And now you hear my songs, the radio is playing,

Oooh, I can't belive my ears and what everybody's saying

Boy I tell you folks don't know the half,

How I used to hoop off in the tournaments.. With you

How I used to club hop on week ends.. With you

Your family called the morning off a tragic end.. My condolences

I wish that I could hold you now,

I wish that I could touch you know,

I wish that I could talk to you,

Be with you somehow,

Voices in my head be telling me to come to church,

Said the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt,

Dreaming of windows black, tinted like a hearse,

Waking up to life, sometimes it seems worse,

And all I ever wanted is to be a better man,

And I try to keep it real with my homies man,

Want me to save the world I don't understand,

How did I become the leader of a billion fans,

I would give it all up just to take one ride… With you

How I used to street perform on Fridays… With you

And how I'd go to church on Easter Sunday… With you,

Instead of ya'll throwing them stones at me… Somebody pray for me,

I wish that I could hold you now,

I wish that I could touch you know,

I wish that I could talk to you,

Be with you somehow,

"Sakura." Every voice murmured. "Why did it have to be her?! Why couldn't it be me? Why Sakura? She's just perfect in every way. Her looks, her attitude, her sweet innocent way of life. It should have been me!" Li screamed out in fury.

Everyone stared at him. "No, Li." Madison chirped. "Sakura, did it for everyone and herself. She did it so she wouldn't get sick, so often. So life could carry on. You may think the world needed her, I do, but I think she did it for the best. Li, I think she knew how it would affect our lives. I've been her best friend, since forever and I know her inside and out, but Li.. I know that Sakura would miss you the most. Then Cherry. Then me. Even with that, I love her. I love Sakura as a best friend. I'm going to miss her. " "I agree." Cherry sobbed. "I haven't known her forever. But I still loved her."

"Cherry.." Li put his arm around his daughter's slim arms and hugged her tight. "Do not cry." "It will turn out alright. I've got the funniest feeling Sakura is watching us right now." And indeed she was, Sakura was watching them all, mourn over her, whilst she was happy in heaven.

"It was bad enough when Julian and Tori died. And.. remember, I'll be dying soon." Li stated the obvious fact. "Pop.." Cherry whispered. "Don't leave me." "Cherry, if he does die, you can come live with us." "Alright, Aunt Madison. But I still miss my mother and when my father dies, I will miss him."

"Promise me Cherry, that you won't do something stupid, like try kill yourself."

"I won't father. I love you."

I love you.. The famous last words Sakura had said to him. He would never forget the three words she had uttered before her death. The three words that meant most to him. Especially if they came from Sakura's sweet mouth. "I love you." he murmured to himself. "Sakura.." Li walked out of the room and went onto the balcony outside his and Sakura's room. The wind whipped against his face, stinging it. A small petal floated past. It was a cherry blossom. He caught it and held it close to his heart, then he smelt it's sweet scent. I'll always be watching you, Li. He heard her faint voice. Suddenly, the thought of it cheered him up. He stayed outside, on the balcony, holding the petal close to his heart and knew Sakura would be there with him, forever..
