Disclaimer : I don't own any of the cast of
Card Captor Sakura…^_^;; The wonderful CLAMP team does! I'm writing this purely
for the enjoyment of others (and myself) …since the series has officially
ended. ;_;



Author's Notes: Yet another CCS fic for fans…This
takes place after the 2nd Movie! It's been a while since I've
written a CCS fic! Last time I wrote one was for…for…CCS, but before the movie
2 came out. That's why I didn't even bother posting it up… GOMEN if this one's
not good…PLEASE REVIEW though! I need input to see if I should continue… And
lastly…I will be using some Japanese in here, just 'cause it sounds…better. Let
me know if you need a glossary, but mostly they're common, very common,
words/phrases, and you can use the context to figure out the meaning.
Scenes/Surroundings/Setting etc are marked by [brackets]. Inner thoughts are italized.
I hope that wasn't confusing! Now enjoy…hopefully. By the way, I included a
short glossary since for some strange reason people think I'm saying Daidouji
when I mean Daijobu…^_^;



Short Glossary:

Daiski = I love you

Yogata = Thank Goodness

Daijobu?/Daijobu = Are you Ok?/I'm ok.

Arigato = Thank you.

Hoe = (pronounced Ho-weh) Sakura's way of saying "Huh?"
or "AHH!!"

Gomen-nasai = I'm very sorry

Happiness

===Chapter
1: Apologies===



It was a fine clear afternoon of midsummer. As she peered out the window, a gentle
refreshing summer breeze glided by, carrying a few sparkles of tears from her
face. Hot and yellow as the summer days were, it was still vibrant with a sense
of life. Sakura's heart eased as the mellifluous song of the birds from a
nearby cypress tree harmonized with Syaoran's slow, steady breathing behind
her. Yogata, the Void changed into Hope and didn't take away his special
feelings…She looked back at the soundly sleeping boy on the bed. Her
emerald eyes twinkled in the faint sunlight that shone through the glass as she
reminisced on the events of the morning.



[flashback]



"…Daiski!" Sakura leapt across the chasm and into her
loved one's arms. Syaoran embraced her, and the two watched the rise of the
ever-luminous sun chase away the darkness of night. Her eyes glistened as the
great star rose behind the deep purple mountains, and she held Syaoran's hand
tighter, as they watched the world return back to normal and become bathed in
the soft yellow rays. The small smile on his face and the warmth elicited from
his eyes filled her with content. I've never been this happy before.
Arigato, Syaoran-kun.



"We must get back, since the others are probably starting
to wake up." Syaoran said after a moment of golden silence.



"Un," she replied, and held both his hands. "Daijobu? I
feel your pulse faster than usual…" A worried expression occupied her face.



"Daijobu." Syaoran smiled. "Arigato, for worrying. Now
how to get back…"



"Here comes Yue-san and Kero-chan!"


The young couple rode on Cerberus back to the auditorium. Just in time, the two
-still in their combat costumes - stood on stage as the audience started to
wake up. Syaoran looked at Sakura and the two nodded. They both knew the part each will have to play, and took their
places. Once everyone focused again on the stage, the play resumed in the air
of early morning.



"At last, our kingdoms will no longer be at war against
each other, and I can return your feelings to you, Prince." Sakura walked back
to Syaoran, took his hand and led him to the front where the audience could see
him. Chiharu, Takashi, Naoko, and Rika were confused at the happenings, but
soon realized that the show was still on. As they heard Sakura's words, they
grew sentimental. Meilin and Tomoyo both smiled.



"Finally! Those two…they took f-o-r-e-v-e-r!"



Tomoyo let out a muffled "oh ho ho ho ho!" at Meilin's
remark. "It's good, that everything is ok again. I love to see Sakura-chan smile,
and I have to have it on tape!" Tomoyo had her video camcorder set up again. Yogata,
it still works! She zoomed in on the couple, unable to afford to lose this
precious, kawaii moment.



Syaoran bent down on one knee, and gently kissed Sakura's
ivory hands. Many of the audience members were smiling and shedding tears of
happiness, even if they were just asleep a while ago. Meilin had a momentary
shock. It'll be great if I can find someone like my cousin!! Kawaii~ Her
eyes grew dreamy at the thought. Meanwhile, Touya grew crossed. THAT BRAT!
HOW COULD HE-



"Daijobu, Touya? Don't worry about those two…I know you
care about Sakura very much, but that boy is very special to her." Yukito gave
him a soft smile, calming Touya.



"Demo…Hmph, I'll just keep a sharp eye on him then."



Smiling, Yukito took his hand and led him to the back
stage, saying in a soft, almost inaudible voice along the way, "You know, even
though you don't really show it to Sakura, you're still a very kind, protective
brother. She's and I are both lucky to have you in our lives. Arigato,
Touya."



The whole audience clapped and took out their
handkerchiefs to wipe away tears of happiness. Nadeshiko blossoms, and roses
where showered the couple as they bowed. Sakura gathered a few in her arms and
the two walked back to where Terada-sensei and the rest were waiting.



Sakura's walking pace burst into a sprint as she ran
towards her best friend and Meilin. "TOMOYO-CHAN! MEILIN-CHAN!" she said as she
waved to the two girls. Hugging Tomoyo and holding Meilin's hand, she realized
that Syaoran was not by her side. "Hoe?" She peered until she noticed that
Syaoran had stopped halfway back, using the nearby wall for support, with
Terada-sensei and the others gathering around him.



"Syaoran-kun! gomen…gomen-nasai!!" Tears formed when she
arrived, seeing him now sitting on the floor unconscious.



[end flashback]



All these events raced through her mind over and over as
she gazed at Syaoran, still sleeping. The doctor Tomoyo called in said that he
was just really tired, and needed a good rest. Tomoyo-chan is very kind to
do that, and let me stay over for the day. But…how could I have forgotten that
he used so much energy in helping me seal and change the Void card? …I'm…so
sorry…for having you go through that… she thought, as she wiped forming
tears from her eyes. But…Thank you…Thank you, otherwise I might not have
said what I've been waiting to say to you for a long time…Taking his hand,
Sakura put it to her light pink colored cheek. "Gomen-nasai, Syaoran-kun, for
having you go through that…"



"…don't…worry…"



Hoe? "Syaoran-kun!" Relieved, she hugged him.
"Daijobu? HOE~! Don't get up!"



Syaoran smiled a little. "Hai, I'm feeling much better.
Arigato, for worrying and watching over me all this time."



Sakura blushed. They heard the light sound of approaching
footsteps, a loud "SYAORAN!", a "Meilin-chan, please be quiet. Li-kun might be
sleeping still", and lastly, "…I forgot…" The two inside the room
sweatdropped.



"Sakura…" Syaoran looked down at his hands and started to
fidget. "You know…I…I'll have to leave soon…right?…"



A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and as the birds in
the trees departed, they left the fading drum of their beating wings. Sakura had
forgotten that Syaoran had only come to visit for a short while.



===Ending
