=18 June 2003, K.Windy=
Sakura's POV: I woke up with the sound of birds' chirping, and the first thing I felt was wrong was that there's a heavy object draped over my body, so much so that I had difficulty breathing. My eyes opened slowly, resisting the glare of the morning rays. What exactly is on top of me? I turned my head and my usual sleepiness disappeared in an instance. My emerald-colored eyes popped open in alarm. For I found a fair face with closed eyes that has the longest lashes and a mop of beautiful grey hair inches from me. "Hoeeeeeeeeee! YUKITO-SAN?!!" I sat up quickly and Yukito-san's arms, which had been on top of my body, dropped to his sides. My legs were tangled with his, and in an attempt to draw mine away, Yukito-san woke up. (He would have woke up by my screams anyway *Sweatdrops*)
His eyes fluttered open, and he was disoriented. A slender hand shot up to rub his eyes. "Nani?" He murmured groggily. I froze and stared at him. "Where am I.huh? HUH??!! SAKURA?" He was suddenly wide awake. "What am I doing here.?" He asked in great puzzlement and shock. I tried to recall what happened last night.
Last night, I was alone in my room, feeling extremely upset over some problems I had in school. Since Kero-chan was over at Tomoyo's and I didn't want to disturb them, I just wallowed in self-pity. I didn't feel like talking to anyone either. Soon I was crying softly into my pillow, legs curled beneath and arms around my pillow. After some time I heard a tap from my window. And there, hovering outside was Yue. I was surprised to see Yue, but quickly wiped my tears and went to let him into my room. In these few years after I had turned the Clow cards into Sakura cards, both my magic and my relationship with Yue has grew. Yue is no longer as distanced and cool to me, and often offers me comfort when I'm upset. He seems to be finely attuned to my feelings, which I wonder many times if it's good or bad. On one hand, I didn't want him to worry over me, on the other, it's good to have a shoulder to lean on, and an impartial views on my problems sometimes.
"Sakura-sama, are you alright?" Yue asked with concern. I frowned slightly at the term he called me. No matter how many times I insist that he calls me 'Sakura', he always ends up calling me 'Sakura-sama'. I suppose it's an improvement from him calling me 'Mistress' some years back when I first passed his judgement. But then, I can never stay annoyed at Yue for long, so I smiled a watery smile at him. His eyes narrowed as he saw my eyes red and tear streaks still apparent on my cheeks. I invited him in and he sunk gracefully to the floor. I sat on my bed and told him what happened at school. High school is much more tougher than I thought it would be. And though Tomoyo is in the same school as I, she's no longer my classmates. So there's less chances for us to talk nowadays. Kero-chan has also made some new friends (Spinel Sun, for instance) and is seldom at home now, so I often turned to Yue to let out my stress. Yue is a surprisely good listener, and even a better advisor. That's the good part of been able to see things from different angles and in an impartial manner, I suppose. Something which I never had been able to do. I'm still as clueless as I was before, and sometimes I offend others without even knowing how or why. Human relationships are so much more difficult now when I am a teenager.
We talked, our rather, I talked and Yue listened attentively, late into the night. Somehow the tears started flowing when I started telling Yue my problems again. He hugged me and stroked my hair softly, like he always does, to console me. Though he didn't say anything, I felt comforted in his warm embrace and gentle touch. Soon I feel asleep.
And that must be why we ended up sleeping in my bed till morning. Maybe Yue didn't want to leave me alone when I'm feeling depressed, so he stayed throughout the night. I'm grateful for his consideration, but why in the world did he turned back into Yukito-san? Or was it unintentional?
Yukito-san was still staring at me with confusion, but patiently and silently waiting for an explanation. "Ah, Ohayo Yukito-san. Yue-san was talking with me last night and we must have feel asleep some time at night.Gomenasai!" I felt obligated to apologized to Yukito-san, having taken time away from him. He smiled. "I see, it's ok, I understand. Sakura- chan, you.you are alright, ne?" He was worried about me. Though I'm fourteen now, he still thinks of me as a little kid-sister. Like my Onni- chan. Still calls me..
"Kaijuu!!! You better wake up or you'll be late for school!!! Again!" There was an insistent knock on my door. I went to open the door before realizing that Onni-chan will see Yukito-san in my bed. "Kaijuu ja nai!" I shouted as I opened the door. "You are going to be." Onni-chan's words stuck in his throat as his eyes widened in shock. I looked behind me and "Hoee!" I have forgotten all about Yukito-san!! "Yuki?! What are you doing here?"
"To-ya, Yue was with Sakura-chan last night, and I guess he feel asleep without realizing it." Yukito-san answered calmly, as if ending up in my bed is a usual occurrence. "Yue?" Onni-chan's eyes narrowed a little. "Why was he with Sakura-chan last night?" He looked at me suspiciously.
"Oh! I.I had to talk to Yue-san about something.er.and I guess I talked too much and tire Yue-san out." I sweatdropped and nervously hoped that Onni- chan will not question further. To my relief, he didn't. He just gave another suspicious glare at me. "You better hurry up or you'll going to be REALLY LATE." I glanced at the clock and hurried with preparing to go to school.
Yukito-san went downstairs with Onni-chan and they talked in low voices. I wondered what they are talking about.
--------------- Yue's POV It's a beautiful night, and the moon was full. I was on top of the roof of Yukito's house, just enjoying the cool night breeze, and thinking about.Sakura. Yes. In my mind, I have always called her Sakura. Ever since that day of the judgment when she said she wanted to be my friend. I was touched by her pure and innocent heart. As days passed by, I felt my obsession with Clow lessened, as my other obsession grew. I once heard that you never lose your obsession with something; you just replace it with another one. Now, my thoughts are all occupied with Sakura. Slowly yet steadily, she has captured my heart. Now, I am more of a confident and friend to her than a guardian or servant. For the first time in centuries, I felt.contented. Secured in her love for me. She is so open that she wears her heart on her sleeve. Though I made her nervous initially, she has overcome that, and now she's as comfortable with me as she is with Keroberos. And she loves me. It's evident as it shines in her eyes every time she talks and looks at me. She has so much love and kindness in her heart that I feel overwhelmed sometimes. But nowadays, her sadness is increasing as well. She is no longer a protected 10 year-old. She has seen some ugliness in the world and her confusion at how other humans behave grows. I'm concerned about her, as my love for her has grown as well. And now, I sensed that she's depressed about something. I spread my wings and flew to her house.
Through her window, I could see her huddled and crying. My heart broke. I can't bear to see her sad. I wish I could chase away all her tears and sorrow, and keep her smiling always. But there's only so much I can do. So I do what I can, I comfort and listen to her. I offer her advice when she seeks it. I tapped softly on the window. She looks up, eyes red and puffy from crying. My heart reached out to hers. I wanted to take her in my arms and wipe away her tears, but she needs to let me in first. "Sakura-sama, are you alright?" She frowned a little. She really dislikes me calling her that; she wants me to call her Sakura. But it would be disrespectful. Besides, I found that I like to annoy her sometimes. It distracts her from her sad thoughts, even for a little while, and I'm grateful for that. She tried to be brave and smiled at me, but I could sense the sadness in her heart. Her smile is always like sunshine, but now, it has none of the cheerful rays when she smiles. It's clouded with hidden tears.
I didn't let her know that I could sense her emotions clearly, as I didn't know if she would like her emotions to be so plainly shown outright. So I kept quiet, and sat on the floor, pretending that I didn't know about her sadness. Soon she started talking about her problems. I can never understand why she bothers with those humans at school. She shouldn't be troubled by them at all. But through Yukito, I have a slightly better understanding of human relationships, and better tolerance for them, I suppose. Soon, Sakura started to cry again. Without a second thought, I went and sat beside her on her bed. I hugged her and she leaned into my shoulders. I am not good with words, so again, I kept quiet. I couldn't resist her smooth chestnut hair, so I stroke them gently. I know it offers her some comfort, and that is all I can do at the moment. She talked to me late into the night, till she was so exhausted that she feel asleep in my arms. I like the feel of her small body in my arms. It warms me. I hugged her closely, and lies down with her on her bed. She murmurs something incoherent. I put my head closer to hers and heard, "Yue-san, arigatou." Then she smiled, a perfect, angelic smile that only she possesses.
Yes, she has my heart now, and it will forever be hers. I wondered if she would still be troubled tomorrow. I suddenly have an idea to distract her a little. I will change into Yukito in the morning, so that she would find herself in bed with him. That should be enough distraction. I know her crush on Yukito is still not over. Though she denies it to herself, and has accepted Yukito's relationship with Touya, I can still sense her feelings. Deep inside her heart, her feelings for Yukito has never been reduced. It's still as special as ever. And she still blushes around him. She thinks that I don't notice it, or doesn't know, but oh, yes, I know. I know all your feelings, Sakura. Because I live for you, because my heart is yours, and because, I love you. So I understand your heart even though you don't sometimes. But her character of being naïve is what I adore about her too. Everything about her is beautiful. She is my goddess.
Sometimes, I am amused by what others think of me. I know, though they don't say it to my face. They think I am cold, incapable of emotions, and just don't care. I care, care too much that I'm afraid of myself sometimes. I just don't express myself very well. I guess years of solitary has some negative effects on one's interpersonal skills. And when your only companion (Keroberos, of course) is an egoistic, glutton and talks the amount of three persons, it kinds of put off your mood to talk. Keroberos is also too playful for his own good, but I take most of his pranks in stride. Afterall, I do have a few tricks up my sleeve too. I am not as humorless as people think. So with a smile, I quietly resumed the form of Yukito, careful not to wake Sakura. Yukito simply slept on, unaware that tomorrow, he too, will get a shock. I smiled in satisfaction. It's going to be *interesting* tomorrow morning. I retreated to the back of Yukito's mind and waited for the 'show' in the morning when Sakura wakes up.
Sakura did not disappoint me. In fact, she never disappoints me in any way. Her expression was priceless. It's in these rare moments that I wish that I could be as uninhibited as Tomoyo-san and whip out a camera to capture Sakura's face. But instead, all I can do is to store it into the back of my mind, keeping it safe in my memories. Ah, another beautiful memory of Sakura. I think she's definitely distracted away from her mundane school problems, in fact, she's going to be late for school again if she doesn't snap out of her shock at finding herself IN THE SAME BED as YUKITO. Heh heh heh heh.
