*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Sakura's POV)

Tears flowed freely down my cheeks as I sobbed into Tomoyo's shoulder. She was taping (Ailanthus and Red:*Sweatdrop*). The priest was saying the usual things while the coffin stood defiantly in the aisle.
"Syoaron!" I thought as another wave of sadness hit me.
Why? Why did he have to step in front of the ARROW card, when it was coming towards me?

(Tomoyo's POV)

And they never even dated yet. I sighed. all of Syoaron's sisters were here, his mother too. Meiling was more than a little tearful, she had already gone thru three boxes of tissues. Yukito, Touya, Rika and everyone else was here as well. The camera was rolling.

(Sakura's POV)

The priest was calling me up. I had been asked by Mrs. Li to sing Syoaron's favorite song. I slowly got up and went to the microphone. I stood there with my eyes closed, waiting for the music to start. When it did, I thought of how many times Syoaron had helped me, then started to sing:
"Would you know my name, if I saw you in Heaven?
Would it be the same, if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on, cause I know, I don't belong, here in Heaven."
As I waited for the next verse, I thought of how Syoaron and I had met. His intense gaze had gone right thru me. Then, I continued singing:
"Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in Heaven?
Would you help me stand, if I saw you in Heaven?
I'll find my way, thru night and day, 'cause I know I just can't stay, here in Heaven!
Time can bring you down, Time can bend your knees. Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging Please!"
I remember when MIRROR hurt Touya, Syoaron didn't hesitate to help me! He never did! He was always there for me and everyone else, no matter what! Gods I miss him!
"Beyond the door, there's Peace I'm sure, and I know, they'll be no more, Tears in Heaven!"
Syoaron, my friend, my protector. my...Love. I love him! Why did I have to only figure that out now?
"Would you know my name, if I saw you in Heaven?
Would it be the same, if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong, and carry on, 'cause I know I don't belong, here in Heaven!
'Cause I know I don't belong, here in Heaven!"
When I finished, I bowed, sat in my seat, then burst out in tears. All the ones I had been holding in while I was signing came rolling down my cheeks.

(Tomoyo's POV)

As Sakura sat down, I quickly whipped out another box of tissues. You could tell she really meant what she was singing. Even Touya seemed a little choked up after hearing her. Syoaron is probably looking down on us right now and smiling. Smiling just for Sakura. He's always had a crush on her. I could tell. And those feelings were returned unconditionally, of course, but still. I sighed and put a new tape in the camera. I guess I shouldn't have taped the funeral party too. I wonder why they call it a party? It's not very pleasant, so why a party? Sorry, getting off subject. I patted my pocket to make sure the parlor gift was still there. I know Funeral parlors give strange gifts, but geeze! A weather thermometer? Gods! Syoaron was probably laughing himself senseless when that guy was passing them out! I looked beside me.
"Poor Sakura." I thought.

(Sakura's POV)

Well I'm home now. Touya and Otou-san are downstairs. I'm in my room, looking at the teddy bear Syoaran had given me. I looked out my window and thought I saw Syoaron smiling down at me.
"Wait for me, my Love. My Syoaron." I whispered, before falling asleep.

THE END

Last A-N: Ailanthus: *sniff* Pass me a tissue Red. *sniff*
Red: ......Whatever. Sorry Tomoyo sounded so, how should I say this, oblivious.
Ailanthus: *dabs at eyes* Yeah, because YOU wrote it!
