Author's note: I'm really at a loss for words right now... Well, this is my very first attempt to write fanfiction and I hope everyone likes it! Please enjoy!
Disclaimer: If I owned Cardcaptor Sakura, the story would have ended up completely different... It's just a good thing I don't own it, right?
Summary: Sakura is starting to become a growing young woman and learning that her hormones are starting to kick in as each day passes by. Oh yeah, this is four years after she changed the Clow cards into Sakura cards.
[I actually edited a few details that I accidently messed up. Sorry everyone! I'm only human!]
Without farther ado, I present... Just Let Me Keep Dreaming
****
She awoke, even though the sun didn't comply with her. Her digital clock read 6 o'clock AM, it was still, too early to do any of her chores yet. It was Saturday morning and her father, Fujitaka and brother, Toya, were exhausted from work and school. On the other hand, she couldn't fall back asleep herself no matter how hard she tried, even though she had school yesterday as well.
It was just that dream that still wracked her brain.
'I didn't know if it was a dream or was it reality? I mean, I thought I could feel my surroundings; maybe I was just giving myself some sort of false hope. Maybe, it was actually a reality…
I didn't really care because it just seemed so surreal to me.'
The honey locks of hers covered her eyes, deep in thought, trying to remember her blissful fantasy. Playing that memory of a dream, in her head, as if it was reality. Although, she knew it was only a fantasy, but one could only dream…

Everything was so green, the grass in the field up to the horizon. There was this beautiful Sakura tree that I was standing under, with the dying flowers falling to the ground, mimicking a fresh snowfall. The sun shining brightly with the rays hitting the shrubbery, making everything looked even lovelier. There were birds chirping their usual song, just above in the tree and two butterflies, a honey colored and a white winged one, dancing with each other with the shining rays. I caught a few cherry blossoms falling from the tree and toyed with the flowers for a while.
Then I realized that everything just looked so picture perfect, but there was something missing or maybe I was just missing somebody else…
Just then a light breeze caressed my face and a single white feather fell for me to cradle in my delicate hands along with the cherry blossom petals that were previously in my hands. I knew it could have been only from one person…
Yue.
I looked up into the cloudless sky and I was right.
The white-haired guardian was hovering over me, like he always did for the last six years now. He did nothing, but stare at me with his cat-like eyes. It felt like he was almost piercing my soul with his perfect orbs. And there was that silky, pure hair that was in braids towards the ends of the long strands. Then, his angel-like wings fluttered once in the air, though it didn't take much to keep him airborne. Those soft-looking, feathered wings, I never actually touched those wings, for I thought I would contaminate with my impure hands, but they looked so perfect. Everything about Yue is perfect.
No, not perfect. He is absolutely flawless.
He gently landed on the ground right in front of me, with his massive wings still in place. I felt the warmth of his body radiating onto mine and just then I wanted to hold him, hoping that he would hold me back as well.
But, whom was I kidding? He only accepted me as a replacement Master for Clow Reed. I knew how much he cared for Clow, much more then he cared for me. He was my servant, my guardian angel, my one and only love. Although, I had to keep telling myself, that I can only be his friend and nothing more than that…
It hurt so much, but not in a million years that could I ever tell him my secret. I didn't want him to pity me and have that look of disgust in his cat-like orbs.
That would hurt me even more.
There, I found myself staring back into his eyes. I was almost in a trance-like state. I didn't know how long I was staring for, but it seemed like he wasn't fazed by it at all. Somehow today, in his eyes, I saw something different. It was nothing that I have ever seen before. I couldn't figure out what, so I wanted to ask him. But, before I could open my mouth, he actually beat me to speak.
"Sakura-san."
His voice still monotonous, yet there was a hint of something else hidden there. He attempted to reach out for my face with his delicate hand and I was, too much in a daze to answer the guardian back or have any reaction at all. Even though, how much I wanted to, I just couldn't.
"Sakura-san."
The Moon guardian spoke again, but his tone was more softer than before and less flat. Still, I didn't have the voice to speak.
----
"Sakura-san!"
The young woman known as Kinomoto Sakura broke her gaze of day dreaming and snapped back into her reality. Her father's calling was the one who brought her back and finding herself sitting on her bed, recalling her dream from last night's blissful slumber.
She pulled one of her legs towards her chest and rested her chin on her propped up knee, losing herself in thought once again.
There was much to think about.
Sakura was turning into a young woman, a young woman of sixteen years of age. Her hair now flowing to around her shoulder length, her eyes more emerald green than before, her chest is a pleasant size, and her curves were more shapely than when she was a mere child. Her appearance changed the most when the six years flew by. It showed most when Toya had to chase down boys who were after his little sister.
It still didn't matter to her because there was one person that Toya would never have to chase after, the one person that she loved the most. Although, her guardian surely didn't know and she swore that to secrecy for the rest of her life until the day she passed. Even so, she would take it to the grave, but Sakura still couldn't help to think about that false reality that she created in her mind.
'This whole time it was only a dream and somehow, I knew that nothing like that would happen in real life. If only I could just keep on dreaming…'
