A/N : This is my first work of fiction so do tell me if I messed up or if you liked it .


A snippet of Sakura Sakurakouji's life after Code 07 leaves with her heart . The tiredness was unexpected.

Sakura Sakurakouji was tired. Saying that might have been the understatement of the desperately wanted an outlet for her feelings . Her feelings for her friends for Yuuki , for Rui , for Toki , heck even for Heike. But most of all her feelings for Ogami Rei.

Some days she took a break from her life and wrote a poem , filled with her emotions. she used to end up brimming over with tears . Those days even Puppy's cheering up didn't affect her .She was lost without him.

She had fallen in love with a stubborn man - she knew that. But she never thought that she would feel so lethargic . Her mind , body and soul grew weary of his attention . As waves of exhaustion swept over her , she realised this might just be due to her keeping up her pretence of not knowing when he was around. The thought in itself was utterly foolish .

Oh she knew - She knew about his watching her from afar. Her Rare-Kind senses weren't so dull. How could she not pick out the sound of the heartbeat she was so attuned to, the smell she was beginning to dream of.

Some days she wondered if she could innately feel his heat even from afar. That would explain the nights when it got so cold and her heart felt cramped up, unable to move in its iced shell. On other days she wondered if he'd return, and burn through the shell that had begun to cage her ,. She knew it would be laughably easy for him to do so .She also knew that she would willingly jump into his arms at the opportune moment.

So Sakura Sakurakouji continued her life. Waiting for the tandem to break, for Ogami to come save the day - save her heart from crumbling to pieces . She was tired but she would wait for him. The one who had given her his glove and taken her heart in his bare palm .
