Spoilers may follow Original Timeline In Syaorans flashback it is revealed that he gave his name to Sakura as Li Syaoran the same name as his father. It is also revealed that Sakuras mother was Nadeshiko and that Fujitaka was Sakuras father not Clow Reed. In chapter 191 Syaoran tells Sakura that she looks exactly like his mother Clone Sakura and shares the same name as his mother as well to which Sakura responds But.. My name.. thus hinting that like Syaoran Sakura is not her real name. An emphasis seems to be put on how Syaoran and Sakura cannot touch. Due to the cleansing before her birthday Sakura is not able to be touched. At the beginning of Tsubasa in the tube Syaoran and Sakura are separated by glass not able to touch. However cover of volume 23 and the splash page of chapter 183 has them holding hands. At the end of chapter 193 Sakura takes Syaoran up to the top of the castle to show him the stars. Her eyes suddenly go blank and her body rises up in the air she hears the sound of bells coming from the ruins like chapter 1. In chapter 194 a page is shown of what Sakura is seeing in the future which includes Syaoran running towards her desperately in the ruins. Returning back to the present Syaorans running figure is reflected in her eyes she is still seeing the future and she screams out SYAORAN. Sakura falls down suddenly to Syaorans horror. She tells him it is too dangerous and to stay back although Syaoran does not know what it could be that is dangerous. Syaoran is aware that something bad is going to happen on the 7th day and has been granted permission to go to the cleansing grounds with Sakura on that day in order to protect her. The cleansing grounds have permitted his presence so he is able to enter even though nobody else not even the priest is allowed in the 7th day. During the seventh day Syaoran enters the Ruins with Sakura who seems to remember nothing of the previous nights vision. When inside the Ruins Fei Wong opens a rift and attempts to abduct Sakura but the water protects her. Syaoran runs towards Sakura yelling at her to open her eyes before screaming SAKURA as he had in the vision. Sakura then states her true name is not Sakura: But... my real name is.... Syaoran reaches for her but stops knowing Sakura is still in the middle of her purification. Sakura is then swallowed by the black mass. When the mass parts Sakura is shown to have a seal in the shape of wings engraved when this seal reaches fullsize Sakura will die. Syaoran attacks Fei Wong but is defeated before being returned to his dimension. Sakura sees him when he returns seven days later. It is revealed that only Syaoran and Nadeshiko can see the seal engraved on her. Syaoran vows to find a way to remove the seal. Seven years go by with the seal growing bigger each year. In events that mirror the first chapter Syaoran returns from another country after failing to find a way to remove Sakuras seal. Sakura visits and talks with Syaoran before returning to the palace saying that she will tell him what she wants to say on her birthday. On her birthday everyone assembles inside the Ruins for Sakuras coming of age ceremony. On her 14th Syaoran wishes Sakura a happy birthday when the seal engulfs her completely. Nadeshiko stops time and dies doing so. Syaorans wish to go back to the seventh day to grab her hand is granted afterward by Fei Wong creating Watanuki in the process unfolding every events that followed. AFTER THE DISTORTION Her real name was revealed in the end to be Tsubasa and that she is the original Sakura.
