Crystal Clear

When I'm a sparrow in winter, You are a
seed I find
When I'm a heart with a splinter, Your
blood keeps me alive
If I could call you a color, You'd be the
deepest of blues
If I had my pleasure of anything, You'd
be the one I'd choose

Sakura stared dreamily at the picture in her hand. Yue.... The picture was taken six years ago, when Sakura was twelve. Tomoyo-chan, Kero-chan, Oniisan, Otousan, Eriol-kun, Nakuru-chan, Supi-chan, Li-kun, and... Yue-san. All those years Sakura had known Yue, she had been growing fonder and fonder of him without knowing it.

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You
Now that I can see the mystery's
revealed
Now I'm coming clean
I can feel my fears released
Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You

She placed her hand out into the slowly falling snow. Yue-san... The soft white of snow reminded her of Yue. She sighed. There's no way he'd care for me... He probably thinks me of a child.. "Sakura-chan?" Sakura snapped her head up and met gentle golden eyes. "Yukito-san!" she exclaimed. Yukito smiled and sat down next to her on the bench. "What're you doing here?" he asked. Sakura blushed and looked down at her hand. "Just watching the snow fall.." she answered in a whisper. Yukito cocked an eyebrow. "Yes, the snow is nice, isn't it?"

I'm soft like clay
Your hands they mold me
For You, I would run away
Just to hear You calling out my name

Sakura nodded. "Ano.. Yukito-san?" she asked quietly. Yukito looked at her. "Mm?" Sakura's cheeks went red and she stammered, "Ca-Can I ta-talk to Yue-sa-san?" Yukito blinked, then smiled. "Of course," he said before he was gone. Yue stood in his place. "Yes, Mistress?" the solem guardian asked politely. Sakura twiddled her fingers, she could feel his icy blue eyes staring down at her. I'm not ten anymore!! I'm eighteen!! She stood up and stared into his eyes. "Yue-san.."

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You
Now that I can see the mystery's
revealed
Now I'm coming clean
I can feel my fears released
Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You

"Aishiteru." Yue blinked. Nanda? His mistress just told him that she...loved him. Yue felt his heart warming. What is this..feeling? Could it be...? Could it be that I love her back too? Yue hesitantly reached out a hand and stroked Sakura's hair. Sakura blushed and looked down. "Sakura..." he whispered her name. He bent down.

I'm broken and empty
Without You, I'm blinded
I need You,
I need You near me, I need You near me

Sakura looked up just in time to see Yue's face coming closer to hers. Before she could react, she could feel Yue's lips brush against her own. They were so soft... She felt herself respond to the gentle kiss. She stepped closer and Yue's arms wrapped around her body. I need you near me..

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You
Now that I can see the mystery's
revealed
Now I'm coming clean
I can feel my fears released
Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You

Yue pulled back reluctantly and stared at his beloved's face. Her eyes were staring happily back at his own. He smiled and gripped her tightly. "Ai shiteru," he whispered in her ear softly. "I love you, it's crystal clear.." Sakura sighed in contentedness. "I'll always love you..." Yue lifted her chin.

Please catch me, I'm falling for You...

"And I'll always protect you, I'll catch you when you fall."
