CHAPTER ONE - THE NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING
=====X=====X=====X=====X=====X=====X=====X=====X=====
Sakura flew through the night letting the wind brush her face with its
coolness. The night was beautiful with its twinkling stars. The moon was
out and full. From the skies looking up, the moon was large and glowing
every so bright.
She closed her eyes and let the wind blow against her. She flew blindly
until she felt a small faint tug on her heart. The feel of familiar magic
opened her eyes. A smile came upon her lips and eyes twinkled with memories.
With a great flap of her wings she turned to the magic aura.
There upon the roof the church was Yue. Arms wrapped around his legs as he
looked up at the moon. His eyes looked at the moon with soft eyes and a
serene expression. The light of the moon upon him made him glow with the
radiance and beauty of the silver full moon. His silver tress danced lightly
with the gentle breeze of the night. Long strands occasionally brush before
his eyes before retreating back with the help of the gentle winds. His shawl
flapped gently behind his wings. He looked incredibly beautiful under the
moonlight.
She landed softly upon the rooftop staring at her guardian. She was careful
not to make any noise to startle the moon guardian. Then again, he is always
aware of his surroundings. He is a guardian and he is magic. Of course he
would know that she is here. Once her feet touched the roof she folded her
wings and it disappeared.
Her eyes never left the moon guardian. His eyes closed for a moment. His BR
serene face remained. "Why you are still awake mistress?" he asked in a BR
casual voice. A voice she still found to be music to her ears.
Sakura noted a sparkle in his eyes. Everything else about him remained
hidden in the serene expression. She smiled at him as she moved to his side.
"Sakura," she gave him a small kiss on his cheeks before sitting beside him.
emotion came and gone from his eyes. He remained serene and calm as ever.
She could tell that he was fighting with himself. He his head to the side
and looked down. Locks of hair fall to cover his profile. Sakura just
smiled lovingly at him.
"Why are..." he didn't finish when she brush his hair away from his face and
look at him with such loving eyes. His silver pale blue eyes stared at her
with surprise. He was completely stunned by her.
Her fingers brushed against his cheeks as she continued to look at him with
loving eyes. With a gentle smile she replied, "I couldn't fall asleep. I
needed air so I decide to fly a bit." She gave him a sheepish expression at
the excuse.
"Tomorrow..." She stopped him with a finger to his lips. Again he look at
him with surprise, eyes wide and on her.
All she did was smile. "Tomorrow is my wedding day. A day that will change
my life forever," she said with a sad sigh. "I feel so nerous - jittery to
be exact - that I couldn't sleep."
With a swift turn from her hand, he hid behind a curtain of silver hair. Her
hand brushed through his hair as he turned. "It's only a ceremony," he said
in a neutral voice.
Neutral as it sound like but she caught the struggle of emotions with each
word he spoke. She smiled again. "It not only a ceremony. It is my wedding
ceremony. A wedding. Something that will change me forever. Nothing will
ever be the same again. This is the turning point of my life, the once in a
life time chance of happiness..." there was a sudden sadness in her eyes.
"Or I'll find sadness..."
She looked at him. His eyes reveal his struggle. He understood what she
said but he wasn't accepting it. No, he won't accept it by the fierce denial
in his eyes. He unfold his legs and let it stretch on the rooftop. He was
uneasy with this. "You...love him don't you?" he asked unexpectedly. There
was a hidden pain in his eyes. He tried to hide his face behind a curtain of
hair.
"I do love him..." she said but somehow her heart wasn't into it. She was
feeling something else. For the first time, staring at Yue something
changed.
"Do you love me as well?" he asked looking down. There was stiffness after
he asked the question. He was preparing for an answer he might not like.
"I do love you!" She grabbed the moon guardian's hand and held the hand to
her heart. She looked up at him with the understanding that he wanted to be
loved too. Yet his eyes revealed something else.
There was genuine love in his eyes. Love that seem to for her. Love like
true love. Sakura's eyes widen for a moment. Yue...her precious moon
guardian was in love with her! Can it really be?
For the last seven years of her life, she had loved Yue more than she loved
anyone else. However, his emotions were impossible to read. She had decided
not to pursue the moon guardian's affection afraid that he might reject her
love. Not only that, Yue was a creation. He had no soul or a heart. How
can he truly love someone back? It was much safer to pursue her second love,
Syaoran. He is human with a soul. He loved her back.
"How can you love him and me at the same time?" he asked turning his gaze
back to the moon. "Can you love me? I am only a creation. I have no soul
or heart to love." He voice was shakily, almost broken.
He rose from the roof. He spread his wings. "Yue!" she called out rising as
well. He just shook his head and flapped his wings. He took off in the
direction of the moon. Tears streamed down his cheeks.
The tears surprised Sakura the most. Her moon guardian was crying. Sadness
came to her. She wanted to go after him but something held her back, her own
heart. She couldn't be with him. She had promised herself to someone else
already. Being with Yue will only make things worst. Yet she can't help but
think about those tears.
Instinctively she reached with her magic to the moon guardian. Guided by
love of her heart, she touched the moon guardian's aura. Her eyes widened at
what she found. She felt two souls and the beating of synchronized hearts.
