A/N: At last the ending! Thank you all my readers and reviews for reading this story, and for sticking with me until the very end! Review kudasai(please)!


Ch-12-Return

"The war started because of me, correct?" Silver and the others nodded gravely.

"In truth, I did give the Kage spirit to the Hikari child. I found it strange that the spirit didn't have its master near it, but the master wasn't dead otherwise the spirit would be as well."

Clow Reed continued, "The spirit was hurt in a way, my magic couldn't heal. The only cure was something only the Hikari had, that's how it began. I don't think the Kage understood that."

"Clow Reed when we made that deal with you long ago, why did you choose to explain it to us now." asked Silver,

"When I came to you long ago, that was to prevent another uprising correct? But your mere existence would start another uprising, but to end it once and for all. You needed to summon Sakura, my successor to end it, along with my descendent." Clow Reed said looking at Sakura and Syaoran.

"What deal?" asked Syaoran,

"A long time ago, after we died in the war. Clow Reed found our souls, and asked us to come back to earth to prevent an uprising. We agreed in order to protect other people." said Keikoku

"Clow Reed found us spouses, which Silver and Marina will soon be released from." said Kin,

"Released from? You were dead from the very beginning?" questioned Sakura, Silver and Marina nodded.

"We just borrowed the bodies of people with strong spiritual power, and which were compatible with our elemental types." explained Silver.

"But why did you agree to Clow Reed's deal, if you hated him?" asked Syaoran,

"This was before we knew how the war started. There was an other prophecy besides the one that was fulfilled." stated Kin,

"Another?" said Sakura and Syaoran together, Clow Reed nodded.

"Earth, wind, fire, and water come together to find the chosen ones. Darkness will spread over the land with no light to fight. Storm will start; end with rain, in a song of peace. Released." Sakura and Syaoran stared at each other blankly,

"It means we were brought back to find you, before the Kage would take over. You would end the war with the song, and once it is over, we shall rest." said Marina,

"Shall we release you?" asked Clow Reed, Silver and Marina, nodded.

"Hey we'll meet you on the other side alright?" called Kin, as both him and Keikoku disappeared in a bright blinding light.

"Good bye Syaoran and Sakura-chan. You did great." smiled Silver,

"We'll watch over you, we promise." said Marina, as Clow Reed released their souls, leaving two bodies in their place, one of a boy and one of a girl.

Sakura began to cry, "It's alright Sakura." Syaoran hushed,

"At least your good at something." panted Kaze,

"Eh? Kaze you puppy! What are you still doing here!" cried Syaoran,

"Kaze!" Sakura cried hugging the wolf, Kaze coughed slightly,

"Please let go of me kid."

"But I thought you would disappear with Silver." Sakura said letting go of Kaze,

"Well, Silver wasn't my real master. But I obeyed her for the sake of my real master."

"Real master?" Syaoran and Sakura looked at each other, then at the two people lying on the ground. Mizu went next to her master.

Syaoran and Sakura gasped, who lay on the ground, was the reflections of Sakura and Syaoran!

"What are we doing there!" asked Sakura, Syaoran just shrugged.

When Sakura and him entered the mirror, he remembers their reflections exiting the mirror as well, but never saw them beyond the mirror.

Sakura went over to her mirror-self, trying to wake her up, along with Mizu. "Okay dog, let's wake the other me up." Syaoran said shaking his mirror image, the white wolf (check to be sure) made a groaning noise then smacked the other Syaoran with his tail.

"Hey!"

"Look, you look alike. Even if he's my true master or not, doesn't mean I gotta respect him."

"Okay, I'm awake, please get your tail out of my face." commented mirror Syaoran,

"Do you even remember me master?" asked Kaze,

"Do I ever." replied mirror Syaoran sarcastically,

"I'm surprised you called me 'master'." he finished,

"Dog breath here is full of surprises." said Syaoran, looking at his mirror self.

"What heck why are there two of me!" screamed his mirror self,

"Baka master calm down. This is your mirror image from the other side." explained Kaze,

"I'm from the other side, what are you talking about."

"This is really confusing isn't it." said Mizu, as the two Sakura came to them.

Mirror Syaoran, wore green Chinese clothing, similar to his Cardcaptor outfit, but less decorative. Mirror Sakura, also wore a cotton kimono, while wearing western boots.

"Clow Reed, please explain." asked Sakura, looking more confused at her mirror twin.

"Before a child is born, they are pure of heart. The moment the child is created their soul splits in half, so both children in the mirror and in your world have a soul. The moment you are born, darkness takes over your heart, making you half pure and half sinner." Clow Reed paused then continued, "a mirror reflects your soul twin. The mirror is the thin line that separates them, if the reflection has a strong urge to go into "reality" it crosses the mirror into it's own destruction. Like the living going into the world of the dead, once a living person crosses that line, they die." explained Clow Reed,

"So that's what happened to out reflections." cried Sakura,

"Once you two crossed the mirror, your mirror self gets reincarnated as the same person later on, with out producing a soul twin, but in your case one was produced because the people chosen as hosts, who crossed the mirror lost their reflections, but also their looks when possessed."

"Um...so now we don't exist in our world, unless we come back?" asked Syaoran,

"Correct."

"But why were needed here, why couldn't you use our reflections?" asked Mirror Syaoran,

"In the mirror world, reflections are unable to summon, spirits. Everyone you fought was from beyond the mirror." explained Clow Reed,

"Does that mean, we used to be their reflections?" asked Sakura, Clow Reed nodded,

"You were our reflections at one time..." Mirror Syaoran trailed off,

"It's hard to believe." said Syaoran,

"On pair is allowed to return to the other side, because there are two pairs, one will become the reflection. Since neither of you exist on the other side, you are able to return with out harm." said Clow Reed,

"But their from the mirror world originally, they can't go back can they?" asked Mirror Sakura,

"But they were born in the other world." stated Clow Reed,

Sakura began to cry once more, "Sakura." sighed Syaoran,

"I want to see Tomoyo, tou-san, Toya...everyone! But this whole time, you lost your lives, I'll become your reflection, though it will be hard." said Sakura,

"Sakura..." Mirror Sakura trailed off,

"We won't accept!" cried Mirror Syaoran,

"He's being noble for once." muttered Kaze,

"That's right!" agreed Mirror Sakura, as Mirror Syaoran grabbed Mirror Sakura's hand.

"Long ago we were chosen as vessels for the elements. We wanted to help, and agreed to give up our lives for them. If that never happened you wouldn't be here!" said Mirror Sakura,

"Our time is long past. If we went back, time will have left us behind, look how different we are." Mirror Syaoran said pointing to their clothing.

"It wouldn't be right for us to continue living if we gave it all up." Finished Mirror Syaoran,

"If we went back we wouldn't know anyone, our family and friends are all gone. Sakura, Syaoran...live for us." said Mirror Sakura, "live to the fullest, live for us." she finished.

"I will; I will live for you! I'll make up for everything you lost! But I want to see you again!" Sakura cried,

"Sakura, whenever you want to see Mirror Sakura again. Look in the mirror, you will see her." said Syaoran,

"That's right Sakura! I'm your reflection; I will greet you with a smile everytime you walk by the mirror. We'll always be together." said Mirror Sakura,

"Their right Sakura, we'll be here no matter what!" said Mirror Syaoran,

"Okay! I promise every night, I'll look in the mirror and tell you everything that happened I will live for you Mirror Sakura!" Proclaimed Sakura,

"Thank you." Mirror Sakura smiled,

Syaoran and Mirror Syaoran, do a high five, holding their hands together.

"Together!" they both say,

"How cheesy." stated Kaze, Mizu just hit him with her paw.

"I'll live for you." Syaoran whispered, letting go of his twin's hand.

"Thank you." he whispered back.

Clow Reed waved his hand, causing the purple mirror to appear once more. "Go." he simply said disappearing,

"I'll miss you Syaoran-sama, Sakura-sama." said Raiden, as Syaoran hugged her,

"We'll both miss you." said Rain, as Sakura hugged her back.

"It's too bad you couldn't come with us." said Syaoran,

"Kero-chan might get jealous." Sakura giggled,

Just before stepping in the mirror Sakura and Syaoran called out "we'll live for you!"

"I promise to always be with you!" cried Mirror Sakura,

"Ditto Syaoran!" yelled Mirror Syaoran,

"You weren't so bad after all kid!" Kaze called out, Syaoran smiled.

"Yeah, same to you wolf!" he called out. He said as him and Sakura walked through the mirror.

Sakura opened her eyes; it was the same room they came into before. Sakura looked at the mirror, which had transformed in a simple oval shaped mirror.

"Syaoran-kun look the mirror changed." Syaoran looked up and gasped,

"What happened to it?" he questioned, putting his hand upon the reflective glass. His reflection did the same, Suddenly the door to the room bursted open.

"Sakura-chan! Syaoran-kun!" Tomoyo cried, rushing over to them, chocking them in a bone-crushing embrace.

"T-Tomoyo-chan!" gasped Sakura,

"I was so worried!" she sobbed letting go of them, Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other confused.

"You were missing for over insert time here!"

"Were sorry Tomoyo-chan." Sakura said trying to comfort her friend,

"Were sorry Tomoyo." Syaoran apologized,

"But where did you go?" she asked,

"We had an incredible adventure, within a mirror." Syaoran said looking at Sakura, while holding her hand. Sakura smiled back, looking into the mirror.

Mirror Syaoran and Mirror Sakura smiled, while the four elemental wolves looked happily, beyond the mirror.
