She felt like there was firing burning through her veins, slowly trying to torture her from the inside. She couldn't bare it, she wanted to scream, wanted to cry, wanted someone to share the pain with her. Never had she wished someone else to fell this sort of thing, but deep down she wished it happened. But she would never speak of it, never show it, and never let people see it. She just drifted into the fiery underworld, slowly sinking deeper and deeper into darkness, no one to save her.
Tomoyo Daidouji was someone who could see when something is wrong, the kind of person who could see through people's intents. But as she gazed at her best friend, lying helplessly in bed, she wondered how she hadn't seen it sooner. Sakura was acting odd all day, falling asleep in class, her face flushed more than usual, and her in activeness in gym class should have raised a red flag quickly. But she saw none of it and could only watch in horror as she passed out in the hall, drawing quick attention from everyone.
But now she sat next to her in the nurse's office, watching over her with worried eyes. She would wait with Sakura until he got here to pick her up to take her home. A small smile touched her lips when she thought of the short phone call they had. How worried his voiced seemed, even becoming anxious at one point. It didn't surprise her though; she had always seen the way he looked at her. His eyes sharp on others, when her face would light up, all the coldness melted away, leaving soft eyes to watch her, fascinated with her.
Tomoyo turned slightly to the door, watching the approaching figure. Yue quickly made it to her side; a torn expression on his face, not taking his eyes off Sakura's sleeping form.
"The nurse said you could take her home when you got here," Tomoyo said, looking up at the tall man. His eyes flickered to her for a moment before going back to Sakura, nodding slightly. He folded over the cover and gently picked her up, holding her lightly against his chest.
Her skin was so hot that he could feel it through his robes. His frown deepened, holding her a bit tighter. How hadn't he seen it? He was her guardian, he was supposed to protect her, but he let her get sick? But there wasn't really anything he could do against something like this, it was nature. He could protect her from magic and creatures, but not from something as small as a fever.
He turned to leave, but stopped, glancing at Tomoyo. She and Sakura were good friends, someone Sakura cherished very much.
"Take care of her for me, Yue-san." She said, interrupting his thoughts. She smiled at him and looked at Sakura, her eyes growing softer.
He stayed silent for a moment, "Of course, Dai-," he paused, quickly correcting himself, "Tomoyo...I will take care of her." A small smile came to his face and he turned around, walking out the door.
Kero floated around the room impatiently. Yue had left in such a rush; all that he got was that Sakura had collapsed in the middle of the hall and that she needed to get home. And then he just left him here all alone to worry! He moaned in annoyance, but that's how his little brother usually acted. It had annoyed him with Clow Reed and it still annoyed him now, why did he treat him like this? He was the older one in this situation and yet he was the one being left out!
But he couldn't think of things like that now, he needed to find out what happened to Sakura. A light tapping noise got his attention and he looked up to the sky light window in her room. Yue knocked on it again and motioned for him to open the window. He quickly floated over and pushed the window open with all his might. Yue climbed through the window and gracefully landed on the ground, holding Sakura gently against his chest.
"Is she alright?! What's wrong with her Yue!?" Kero demanded, quickly flying up to the white haired guardian's face. Yue slightly glared at Kero and made a shushing sound, looking back down at Sakura. She still slept peacefully, not disturbed by the outburst.
Standing up slowly, he carefully made his way to her bed, moving her cover, and laying her gently on it. He covered her with the blanket and lightly placed the palm of his hand on her forehead. Her skin still felt like it was on fire, the coolness of his skin became warm because of hers. He looked over at Kero and motioned him for him to come over. Kero floated over and looked at Sakura, then Yue with his small questioning eyes.
"Watch her while I am gone," Yue said, before Kero could talk, "I'm gonna go get something to try and cool her down."
Kero nodded once, "Of course." He retorted, smiling slightly. Yue smiled slight and walked to the door, taking a quick glance back at Sakura, then leaving the room. Kero smiled and glanced back to Sakura, grinning ear to ear. "Oh, Sakura, if only you were awake to see how worried that little brother of mine was," He said clearly talking to himself, "If only I could take pictures, then I could prove he wasn't some emotionless robot!" he chuckled slightly at his own joke (in some regards, it's kinda sad) and looked back at her. "If only you were awake…"
Yue slowly opened the door, a wet cloth in his hand, and walked towards Sakura's bed, raising a brow slightly when he passed Kero. "Talking to yourself again, Kerberos?" He asked, lightly placing the damp cloth on his mistress' forehead, "I could hear you mumbling about something."
Kero laughed nervously, shaking his head, "Yeah, I guess I was. Does it bother you?" he asked, floating towards the door. Yue followed him and just shook his head slightly, his careful eyes watching her sleeping figure.
"No, I was just curious, that's all." He replied, walking through the room's entrance. Kero followed him and Yue closed the door quietly, not to disturb her. They stood outside her door in silence for a moment, and then looked at each other.
"So what do you want to do now?" Kero asked, flying around his younger brothers head.
Yue watched him and rolled his eyes, walking down the hall, "I'd like it if you didn't fly around my head." He replied, annoyance flowing into his usual calm voice. It was always something about Kerberos that got him annoyed, maybe because he acted so childish at times. Yue didn't know, but his older brother could get the better of him, annoying him was just like a game in his mind.
Kero only chuckled and quickly followed him, stopping him from entering his room. Yue raised his eyebrow slightly, "Am I not allowed in my own room?" he asked, that annoyance quickly coming back to him.
"You'll stay in your room all night! I'd like to have some kind of company, even if it's you." Kero replied, crossing his arms, mocking his younger brother with a bored stare, "I'm Yue and like to be anti-social when my mistress isn't around, blah blah blah." He intimidated, and then broke into a small fit of laughter.
Yue glared darkly at him for a moment, stopping the sudden urge to rip the little plushy like toy's head off. He closed his eyes and sighed, his eyes finding their way back to Sakura's door. "Then where would you like us to go then?" he asked, keeping his eyes on the door.
Kero looked up, shocked that he actually agreed! That didn't happen very often; usually Yue would just shove him out of the way. He floated behind Yue and motioned for him to follow, "Let's go downstairs, so we don't disturb her."
He nodded and slowly followed Kero down the stairs, straight into the kitchen. He looked over at Kero with a bored stare; of course he would go into the kitchen. He sat down at the table and watched the stuffed animal like creature fly around the room, trying to open the refrigerator, but to no avail. "Do you need any help, Kerberos?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Kero just shook his head and continued, leaving Yue to his own thoughts. Clow Reed never had this problem with fevers when Yue was with him, so it troubled him that he couldn't think of a way to help his new mistress. He quickly shook his head, 'She's not Clow Reed,' he thought, 'She's only a small child, she does not have the strength he had, but…' his thought trailed, a puzzled look crossing his face. What did Sakura have that Clow didn't? He couldn't put his finger on it and it started to bother him, why couldn't he figure out a simple question?
"Kerberos…" he said, looking back up at the small creature. Kero turned around and looked at Yue, tilting his small head slightly, "What does…I mean what do you…" he stopped, trying to think of the right phrase, "What do you think Sakura has that Clow didn't?"
Kero was silent for a moment, slightly stunned by the question and also trying to think of an answer. He didn't think that Yue would ask a question like that, he held Clow Reed so high in his mind. And to ask if their new mistress had something that Clow never had? It seemed sort of out of character for the moon guardian.
"I can't really answer that for you, Yue…it may differ. I'm sure if you think about it, you'll find your answer." He explained, smiling slowly at him. He turned back around and continued to raid the fridge that took so long to open.
Yue sighed and silently stood from his seat, walking away from the kitchen. He didn't expect to get anything good out of Kero but now he was lost in his thoughts. There was something about Sakura that made everything better, made him feel happy at times. Something that never happened with Clow. But he didn't know what it was, frustrating him. He would know the answer soon enough, he would find out what bothered him so much.
Sakura floated alone in her own darkness, her heart racing, her skin burning. How much longer would this last? Maybe it was her own fault; going to school surely did not help her sickness. But she didn't want to worry anyone. Not her dad, not Tomoyo, not Kero, and defiantly not Yue. He always seemed to have something on his mind, and she didn't want to trouble her guardian with her small problems.
How long would she be here for? How long had it already been? Time didn't seem to matter in this dark world that she was in, inside her own mind. She wished that someone could come and save her, save her from herself. She didn't want to be alone, didn't want to be in this pain.
It was the first time she noticed that there was a cool sensation in her hand. She wasn't sure what it was, it was the only part of her body not burning. A small flicker caught her eye and she turned, watching a small light increase from a distance. 'What is that?' she thought to herself, blinking quickly. She shook head and quickly flew towards the light, hoping something was on the other side.
She slowly opened her eyes, adjusting to the new darkness, but it wasn't like before. She could see her ceiling; she felt the soft bed from under her, the warmth of her cover over her. And she could feel the coolness coming from her hand. She slowly turned her head and smiled softly. A pale hand lightly grasped hers, the owner of the hand leaning on her bed, sleeping. She sat up slightly, careful not to disturb him and slowly ran her other hand through his long white hair. It was so smooth, almost like silk, though it didn't surprise her. Yue was very beautiful, almost angel like in her eyes, though she would never tell him that. It was too embarrassing. A light shade of pink came too her cheeks as she ran her fingers through his hair again.
He slowly opened his light violet eyes and moved his head, locking his eyes with hers. She yelped slightly, surprised and embarrassed, her cheeks becoming a darker shade of red. They both stayed silent for a moment until he smiled slightly, letting out a small chuckle.
"How are you feeling, Sakura?" he asked, watching her with soft eyes.
She stayed silent for a moment, trying to calm herself down. Why was she so easily embarrassed around him? It wasn't until after…Syaoran broke up with her that she felt this way around Yue.
"Sakura? Are you feeling better?"
His voice broke her from her thoughts but her eyes widened slightly. He was only inches away from his face, his hand lightly on her forehead. How'd he move so close that she didn't even notice? It must have been the fever, she couldn't think straight with it.
"Y-yes Yue-san, I'm feeling better than before…" she stuttered, keeping her eyes away from his. He took his hand off her forehead and sat back, letting Sakura sigh in some relief.
"You still have a fever…" he said, trailing off on his sentence, "You shouldn't go to school tomorrow, just in case."
She nodded once quickly and smiled, "Thank you for taking care of me Yue, I really appreciate it." She said happily, holding his hand with both of hers. She always wanted to make Yue feel wanted, not to be distant, like when they first met. She knew that she would never take Clow Reed's place, but if she could make him happy, that was all she needed.
"It's my duty but," he stopped, a small smile coming to his face, "but you are welcome, Sakura."
She giggled happily, lying back down on her bed, still holding his hands, "will you be here when I wake up, Yue-san?" she asked tiredly, her eyes slowly closing.
He nodded, "Of course."
She smiled and closed her eyes, falling back into a peaceful sleep. Yue watched her with kind eyes, slowly taking his hand away from hers. He brushed away a stray lock of hair away from her face and sat watching her, finding the answer to his question. There was kindness that she had that Clow Reed never did. It was different from his, maybe because she was still a child, but it made him feel so welcomed. Even when he fought her through the Final Judgment, she had only wanted to be a friend, exposing him to her unique kindness.
As he closed his eyes, something caught his attention. He leaned over her and examined her neck. There was a faint scar crossing it, something he didn't notice before. He stared at it for awhile until he leaned back, slowly closing his eyes again. He would ask her about it later; it may be nothing he needed to worry about. He closed his eyes and the room filled with a calming silence, leaving both figures undisturbed till the morning.
