Light


Sakura is like a light—she draws everyone to her, slowly but surely, until they come so close that they get burned. Most of them, however, never notice the burning sensation; it blends too completely with the sheer elation they feel from being near that light.

Fai sees in her his creation, "Chii," whenever she smiles. It lights up the world like a lamp, casting away the worries he feels whenever he thinks about the king of his world and allowing him to focus on the task at hand. He is drawn to her because her smile is like his drug, and he cannot seem to break away from it.

Kurogane sees his princess, Tomoyo, in Sakura's mannerisms. She is kind and gentle, like Tomoyo, yet she has a fierceness in her that Kurogane thinks only he can see sometimes. He refuses to treat the princess like she's made of glass, yet will protect her with his life because of the shadow of Tomoyo in her. She fulfills his purpose, allowing him to come closer and closer to returning to his world.

Syaoran is and has been drawn to her forever, in every world and time they have appeared in. She completes him as he completes her; they are two sides to a coin. Though he can never pinpoint why, he is always drawn to her, however reluctant or eager he is. He is her protector, sworn to be at her side always, through every danger she might face; she in turn is his protector, sworn to keep his soul whole and to give him a purpose to live. Syaoran always needs a purpose, after all, and she's as good as any.

Sakura is like a vortex, constantly drawing people into her center, into her. Though they may resist or struggle, they are eventually lost to the winds. It is a turbulent ride, full of bumps and scrapes and cuts and bruises, but it is not without its rewards. After all, Sakura is like a light, casting away everyone's shadows and leaving them with hope.


A/N: This is my first attempt at anything Tsubasa, and it was written fairly quickly. I wanted it to be short (shorter than this, actually,) to see how much I could get in without rambling. Constructive criticism is always welcome and appreciated.
