Morning!
Very impressive, Sakura!
Huh?
From the quad to classroom. You've set a new record!
Thank goodness the teacher's not here yet.
But I was last again, huh?
Well, actually...
Huh?
Morning!
Syaoran?
That's unusual for you to show up after me.
Well, I got a phone call this morning.
From who?
From my mother in Hong Kong.
Oh, why did she call?
Syaoran?
Take your seats, everyone!
Okay!
I have some sad news for you all today.
Eriol Hiiragizawa will be going home to England.
Whaaaaat?
Sakura and the Two Bears
But I still haven't done anything to thank you yet, Eriol.
I'm the one who should be thanking you.
Oh, that's not true.
Listen, Sakura...
How did you feel when you heard I was going back to England?
What?
It made me feel sad...
I have a favor to ask of you.
When this happens to you again,
when someone close to you goes somewhere faraway,
I want you to consider how differently you feel compared to when I left.
That way, you'll realize who you consider to be your Number One.
What do you mean?
You'll understand soon.
What?
Syaoran!
How'd you know it was me?
Just a feeling.
Hey, want to walk home together?
S-Sure.
It's gonna be sad when Eriol leaves, huh?
I guess so...
Oh, that's right.
You said you'd tell me something after the Tokyo Tower thing... What is it?
I'm... in...
I'm in... love with you.
Huh?
The person I love the most...
is you.
That's all I wanted to tell you.
Be safe getting home!
So Ms. Mizuki returned.
Yeah.
And she and Hiiragisawa knew each other, huh?
Yeah.
Clow Reed, was that his name?
Seriously, what a troublemaker.
Yeah, but I'm grateful to him.
If he hadn't created my true form,
I never would've met Sakura or you, you know.
Is Sakura still holed up in her room?
Yeah, ever since she got home.
I wonder if something happened?
Something did.
You know what happened?
I've known for a while.
And what's about to happen, too.
That's why I could never stand that little punk.
Sakura, what's the matter?
Does your tummy ache? You got a fever?
No, I'm fine.
The person I love the most... is you.
Syaoran...
How do I feel about Syaoran?
Of course I like him - he's my friend.
But, is that all?
No...no, it's not... But this feeling...
It's not like how I felt for Yukito.
What is it...
...that I'm feeling now, I wonder?
You're leaving today, huh?
Yes.
That's a shame.
I wish I could've seen you off at the airport.
Well, you have class, so it can't be helped.
But thank you.
Is it okay if I write you again?
Of course!
I'll be looking forward to that.
Oh, right...
Here. Please accept this. I bought it in England.
Thank you very much.
And this is for Syaoran.
Syaoran couldn't make it because he had an errand to run this morning...
R-Right...
It's almost time!
Please don't forget what I said to you.
I look forward to the day we can meet again.
See you!
Oh, my...
I won't get to play with Toya and the others when we get back to England.
You mean play together, not play with, right?
I play together with Toya, and play with Yukito, you see!
I bet they're both gonna miss me a lot when I'm gone.
Actually, won't they be relieved?
What did you say?
And what about you, you'll probably be sad being so far away from Cerberus!
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
- But Soupy, you love Cerberus!
- ...Why did you create those two?
- I do not love Cerberus!
Where'd you get that?
...Because at the Tokyo Tower,
I knew Yue and Cerberus would attack me in order to protect Sakura.
And I needed them to counter that...
But that's not the only reason, is it?
I already have Ruby and Spinel.
If I didn't, Cerberus and Yue...
...would continue to search for Clow Reed inside me...
Especially Yue.
Of course that's not the only reason.
In my own way, I'm quite fond of those two.
For you, that means you "really love them," right?
Perhaps so...
I hope Sakura's "love" also has a happy ending.
No, no,
in Sakura's case... I'm sure she'll be all right.
I wonder what kind of errand Syaoran had to run.
T-Tomoyo?
Yes?
Uh, the thing is... Syaoran...
H-He... He told me...
That he was in love with you?
H-How did you know?
I can tell just by looking at you, Sakura.
What's your answer?
I don't know.
When I think of Syaoran, I feel like something's squeezing me,
and I have no idea what's happening.
And it's about my own self, too.
The hardest thing for a person to understand is your own self, you know.
Especially when it comes to one's heart...
Tomoyo...
Only you can tell what's really going on in your heart, Sakura.
The answer's already there inside you!
Is that a souvenir from the lady at Tsukimine Shrine?
Yes.
What is it?
Oh, wow! It's a bear-shaped brooch!
It's so cute!
Bummer, so it's not something to eat?
The bear I meant to give to Yukito...
You ended up staying here at home, huh?
The bear Syaoran left behind...
Hey, Sakura, you're blushing!
You got a fever?
N-No!
Oh, I need to give Ms. Mizuki's gift to Syaoran!
Sakura always blushes when she looks at this thing.
When I'm a million times cooler!
Is it that red?
My face...
I'm in... love with you.
Tomoyo said the answer's already inside me, but…
I have to give Syaoran Ms. Mizuki's gift.
But...but my answer...
Is someone moving?
Uh, um! M-Ms. Mizuki wanted you to have this as a souvenir from England!
Thanks.
Oh...uh...um!
Uh...
I-Is someone moving out?
That's a lot of luggage.
It's me.
Huh?
I'm going home. To Hong Kong.
Syaoran...
I came here to Japan to search for the scattered Clow Cards.
But even after we gathered the cards, you stayed here.
That's because a lot of stuff happened afterwards.
But that's all over now.
The Clow Cards have turned into Sakura Cards.
Thanks to your powers.
It wasn't just my powers!
It was because Tomoyo and Kero-chan and Yue all helped me!
And also...
Because you were here with me, Syaoran!
If you see it that way, it makes me happy.
Are you sure... you have to go back?
Yeah.
There's something I have to do in Hong Kong.
When...are you leaving?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
I was going to stop by your place if I didn't see you today.
I'm leaving here tomorrow.
So...soon...?
I'm glad I came to Japan.
Because I got to meet you...
No...
Because I got to meet you, Sakura.
Excuse me, I need to confirm where you're sending this.
Sure.
Okay, could you double-check this?
Yes, that looks right.
Thank you very much.
Sakura...
Syaoran's going back to Hong Kong.
He's going far away.
Well I ever see him again?
It hurts... my heart hurts so much now.
when someone close to you goes somewhere faraway,
I want you to consider how differently you feel compared to when I left.
When I heard Eriol was leaving, it made me feel really sad.
I had all kinds of thoughts,
like "I hope we can meet again," or "I'm going to write to him."
But when I heard about Syaoran...
I'm going home. To Hong Kong.
I don't want him to!
Wow, you sure came back in a huge rush.
Hey, what's with the sewing kit?
You rip something?
No, I'm gonna make something.
Make what?
Something important.
Sakura.
Sakura. You're still up at this hour?
I have to finish this by tomorrow.
But you've been sewing away ever since you got home!
You can go off to bed, Kero-chan.
It must be really important, huh?
Yeah.
And there's nothing I can do to help, huh?
I want to make it by myself... the whole thing.
Gotcha.
If I'm just gonna be in the way, I'm going to bed.
But if you need me, wake me up not matter what, okay?
If it's something I can do, I'll do anything, okay?
Thanks, Kero-chan!
Okay.
Y-Yes?
Sorry to show up at a late hour, Sakura.
Yukito...
Oh...
Looks like the timing was right, huh?
Thank you so much. Did you make this?
I only helped. It was Toya.
What? My brother?
Toya was too embarrassed,
so he had me bring it over and went back to his room.
Is that what you're making?
Yes.
Is it for somebody?
Yes.
So you found him. The person you love the most.
Yes.
Is it someone I know?
Yes.
Will you introduce him to me formally sometime?
That might not be possible.
Why not?
He's going...somewhere far away.
But, it's not like you'll never see each other again, right?
Even if you're far apart, you'll get to meet again.
As long as you both want to see each other.
You're right...I guess.
Yeah.
I thought about it.
When the magical powers of my true form, Yue, run out,
both Yue and I will disappear from this world...
If I had known that before, what would've happened?
I think I would've searched for a way to keep from disappearing.
I would've done anything in my power to do so.
Because I could never stand the thought of never seeing you and Toya again.
Well, there really isn't much I can do.
That's not true!
Hahahaha
That's not true!
Shake Shake
Thanks.
So if you want to see that person,
and if that person wants to see you, too,
you'll definitely meet again.
If you both feel that way, it'll be okay.
Thank you very much.
I'm done!
Hey...
You finished it?
Yes!
Tomoyo Daidouji
It's Tomoyo!
Oh, Sakura.
I was told that Mr. Terada
will be coming to today's chorus competition to cheer us on!
I heard that Syaoran will be leaving for Hong Kong on a 10 am flight today!
10 am?
If his flight's at 10 am, he must've left the house already!
Sakura?
No... No way...
If I can't give it to him...
if I can never tell him how I feel...
No!
Get a hold of yourself! Sakura!
You can make it in time!
After all, Sakura, you have your Invincible Spell!
I'm sure...
I'm sure I'll be all right...
What's going on?
I only have 5 minutes left!
I've got to get to the airport bus stop!
Huh? 5 minutes?
You couldn't make it even on roller blades!
But I've got to go.
Jeez...
I'll take you on my bike.
Brother!
In my chest...
my heart is always pounding...
I didn't get to hear her answer...
But...
Syaoran!
Sakura!
I...
I know what this feeling is now!
My Number One...is you, Syaoran!
Thank you.
Is it okay if I name this bear "Sakura"?
Can I name the bear you gave me "Syaoran"?
Sure.
I promise you I'll be back.
When?
When I finish what I have to do in Hong Kong...
Syaoran...
Will you wait for me?
Yes! I'll wait! I'll be waiting!
I'll be waiting...forever.
Because...
You're the one who I love the most, Syaoran.
I'm going now!
So pretty!
I wish I could've seen this with Syaoran...
The first cherry blossoms since we started junior high...
Syaoran!
