Reunion PART I

As the magic was summoned the girl and boy desperately reached for each other's hands trying to hold on to each other as long as they could in the few seconds they had left...

Blue and silver swirls of magic surrounded the two lovers as the young boy with brown hair and amber eyes took the last glances of his lover before looking away, the girls emerald eyes clouded up in tears threatening to spill.

'No...I must not cry in front of Syaoran! He'll come back...so everything will be fine,' she reassured herself silently.

'Wait for me, princess... until I come back...' the young boy begged in his thoughts, she slowly began to fade with the magic power covering his sight of her. His breath hitched as he could no longer see his beloved princess.
"Princess..." the boy whispered with emotion in his voice, his voice beginning to waver, giving away his true feelings.

She could feel her grip on his hands loosening, she could feel her heart tearing into pieces already while he disappeared and it took all of her will to not break down in tears on front of him. And then...
Her auburn hair blew around along with her dress, as the magic's center point was where she stood.

Slipping...loosing...grip failing...

The continually weakening princess tried her best to keep her strongest grip on his hand but it was no use...
'I'll come back for you, Sakura.'

The boy's amber eyes shone with emotion as he let go of her hands, bowing his head with his brown locks of hair covering his eyes. He clutched his fists not daring to look at her, as he knew he would shed tears. Without her hand he felt empty, something important was missing without her warmth.

'What is he doing?' Sakura's mind screamed as she felt him let go of the grip that bonded them.

'Syaoran! Syaoran!' her mind shook with panic coursing through her body. She couldn't yell or speak with the wind pelting at her face.

Her eyes widened feeling his warm reassuring grip on her once more, her hand stretched in reach hoping to find his warmth but nothing... all that was left was air. She could no longer feel his heart-warming presence anymore, as the wind faded away and the seas of sand at rest once again.
She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out, she could feel a lump in her throat, aching.

'Why? Why did you leave?' She asked herself repeatedly. Only when she felt her cheeks growing damp did she realize that she was crying. Her pierced heart was suddenly in pain. She couldn't breathe.
The pain was killing her.

'I'll come back for you, Sakura'

"We'll definitely meet again...I know it..." she whispered, her voice barely audible as it entwined with different emotions.

Days turned to months...to years...

And still no sight of the amber eyed boy...

The princess of Clow country looked over the seas of sand surrounding her kingdom like she had always done since her most important person left her behind to go on another journey years ago, to find a place where they and their other selves could live. She promised herself and him that she would wait for him...always. Even if it would be years till she saw him again, she would wait.
She would always pray for their safe return, she got down on her knees in the clow temple and clasped her hands together, closing her eyes. It was her duty as the future priestess of Clow country to pray for her dear people of Clow.

"Spirits of Clow… ensure their safety while they embark on their never-ending journey…I pray for the people of Clow and the travellers on their journey. Pray for their safety and future, and I Pray for their safe return…"

She opened her eyes, and with a small sigh, and removed her ceremonial cloak.
It has been over 5 years since the departure of the travellers, and the young princess couldn't help but feel lonely. There was no one she could go to, her mother and father being King and Queen of the Clow country they had other matters to attend to. And Yukito the priest was busy helping Touya study the qualities to become the next King of the country as he was to be the next heir to the throne. She sighed and looked up to the sky watching a single white bird soar through the azure skies. A small smile grazed her lips thinking of the boy whom she loved.

"Tsubasa..." She whispered gently, as if it was a secret.

She turned to face the market with memories of her other self-appear before her very eyes.
There stood her other self and her lovers other self-trying to spend time together before he had to go back to the evacuation site.

"Oh look! There is the princess! Over here!" The town folk people yelled crowding around the princess's other self and the boy. She smiled admiringly to the crowd with the boy smiling.

"The Princess is here!" yelled a booming strong voice.
Sakura turned around to see the guards running towards the crowd, they were like ghosts. They just ran right through her as if she wasn't there. The Sakura on front of the princess looked upset.

"The castle guards." the boy with brunette hair spoke.

"If I'm caught, I'll have to go back to the castle. What should I do?" spoke a worried princess. The boy's eyes softened placing his hand on top of the girl's hand. She looked up confused at the boy.

"Let's go!" The boy smiled and pulled her away running away from the guards.

The memory faded leaving the memories her other self-shared with him asleep once again embedded within her other self. She had been wondering over the years how was Syaoran? Was he well? What was he doing? Did he ever think about her as she thought about him?
She sighed contently, if only she could share this with someone. A certain someone with brown hair and the kind gentle amber eyes she longed to see that pierced her very soul. The one who she hasn't seen in five years was who she thought about as she began to walk back to the palace. Then suddenly she felt a strange aura entering Clow country,so naturally in curiosity she headed towards where the presence was at its strongest.

'What is it?' she pondered. All a sudden a violent sandstorm broke out violently thrashing the sand around Sakura. She screamed, closing her eyes using her arms to shield her eyes from the sand. She slowly opened her eyes when the wind died down with a strong presence on front of her. Tears immediately claimed her sight as she saw three figures appear from a wisp of silvery blue before her. She couldn't breathe! Her hands flew up to her mouth unable to contain the shock she was experiencing.

A gentle breeze caused her auburn hair to flutter leaving the tension in the atmosphere remaining still silent.
One of the figures had spiky black hair and piercing red eyes. He was on the muscular side and his hands clutched the sheath of a sword in the shape of a dragon. The other one was thinner, with messy blond hair and beautiful sapphire eyes. Both of them turned to her and smiled gently. And the white rabbit creature smiled cutely waving at her energetically.

"Sakura!" smiled an overjoyed white rabbit creature.

A figure that was shorter than the other two men stepped forward with brown hair and gentle amber eyes. His eyes widened when his amber eyes clashed with emerald but immediately softened. He gave a gentle smile he always gave to her causing tears to roll down her cheeks uncontrollably. He began to walk up to her slowly; it felt like eternity to Sakura for him to reach her. They stood face to face; only one movement and they would be touching, an arm's length distance between each other.

Sakura tried to speak but nothing came out of her trembling mouth, and the amber eyed boy chuckled. He clasped her hand into his and immediately in one swift movement he pulled Sakura into a tight embrace. Even more tears streamed down her face, as she buried her face into his chest. She felt so safe in his arms; she had missed this feeling of his arms wrapped around her. She could feel her legs shaking, about to give way any time soon.

"I'm finally home...Sakura." Syaoran whispered into her hair cooing her trying to calm her down, holding her in a tight embrace tightening the embrace every second. She still couldn't believe what was happening!

He was here? Was this her imagination?

"Sy-Tsubasa" She whispered shakily correcting herself, Syaoran gently pulled out of the embrace looking at her face stained with happy tears. He gave her an affectionate gaze which he only gave to her and belonged to her only and timidly wiped away her tears left with his thumb.

"No tears please, princess." He whispered bringing her back into an embrace cooing gentle words into her ear. He inhaled her gentle fragrance...cherry blossoms...sakura.

"Thank you for waiting for me." He thanked her.

It was Sakura this time to pull out of the embrace, she looked at his features. He was beginning to resemble his father definitely, no doubt about that, which he took pride in as they sacrificed so much. He had matured over the years; he had a more toned body with strong facial features but the eyes...the same eyes that she had met when she met him as a child. She hesitantly raised her hands shakily placing her hands on his face feeling his new features; she did this action to prove herself that he wasn't really there. But...she felt smooth skin. He placed his hand over hers in a way saying keep it there, he wanted to feel her affection.
Her emerald eyes widened realisation, he was really there! She began to tremble again. The boy leaned into her touch affectionately as if he has been waiting to touch her for all the years he had been gone, closing his eyes as if he was treasuring this moment.

"Sakura..." He whispered, with the name easily rolling off his native tongue fluently.
She felt a rush of heat run through her body after hearing the boy say her name.

"Y-You're really here..." she breathed with a smile, eyes glistening, and he nodded.

"You're finally home..."

"Hai." Syaoran whispered. "I'm home."
