Sakura sighed as she looked out across the desert from her bedroom's window. She had a perfect view of the ruins from the palace, which brought back the memories of her journey. A small smile settled on her lips as she remembered Mokona's enthusiasm, Fai's teasing and Kurogane's grumbling. The most prominent memories were those of Syaron. His concern for her safety, his kind smile whenever he looked at her, and his nobility when fighting all brought warmth to her heart. However, at the same time she felt the ach of longing. She wished she was still with her precious friends on their journey, but at the same time knew it was impossible. She had her duties to the kingdom of Clow as its princess, even if Syaron was her perfect prince.
The wind around her suddenly stirred to life, and the colourful tinge of magic lit the air. Sakura's sad smile immediately lit into a cheerful grin, as she rushed out her room towards the palace entrance. She still had these moments at least. When she saw those people most important to her she will smile and forget all her worries. There was no reason to feel sad or selfish; after all today it is time for one of their visits. Moments of complete happiness.
