If I Could

Chapter Three: Smile At You

"Aaaaaaah~, Yes! Aaaaaaaah~! More, Harder, aaaaaaahh~!"

"Uggghh! Aaaaahh~! Ugghhhh~!

Sakura gained her senses from loud, incoherent noises around her. She still didn't open her eyes as she still wants to sleep and rest more. It was a mystery for her that she's been hearing sounds that were supposedly not allowed in the Kingdom where privacy for the royal family is a privilege and anyone who breached it will be beheaded. But it is not of any concerns now in her mind, as she felt cotton but not silk on the bed she's lying on. Reality dawned to her as she realized she wasn't in her regal bed and neither in Clow Kingdom.

The ebony black tinted hair princess finally opened her eyes and got off from the bed, which was a double-decked bed now that she had a look from it. What made her dumbfounded was founding out that a couple was having sex on the top bed. "Oh my, I'm close! God, I'm cumming!" Sakura rolled her eyes and silently walked out from the room.

"Shit!," she cursed as she closed the door and fell to her bottom leaning from the door as if all strength she had were gone. She brushed her hair using her fingers to somehow wipe away from her mind what she had just seen earlier. It was the worst waking-up-moment in her life!

Sighing, she takes her time to conclude where she really was. Aside from the room behind her, there were also two other rooms and seeing a ladder that goes down, she decided to explore. But before she can, the room behind her opened and the lady from 'earlier' came out. She has messy brown hair, full bangs, and was loosely tied in the sides, probably because of their lovemaking earlier. Her eyes have a lighter shade of brown. She is almost as tall as she is. May be she is also her age. "Oh, hi! I'm Chiharu," the lady said. Sakura blushed remembering what she had witnessed before. Seeing the pink tint from her cheeks, Chiharu smiled shyly, "Oh, I'm very much sorry about 'that'. We haven't seen each other for months and we missed each other so much." Chiharu glowed that she can be read head-over-heels-in-love on her eyes.

The princess smiled. She is a romantic. She loves happy endings and sometimes she fantasizes meeting her Prince Charming, falling in love, and they will live happily ever after. That is one of the reasons why she left home. She wants to experience love. "I'm Sakura." She was flabbergasted when Chiharu grabbed and shook her hands. It was her first time to do such a thing. She had known that it's a way of greeting but being a royalty, it was disrespectful in their customs and traditions. But it felt good, it felt natural. She felt sincerity and gladness from it.

"Since we're both barmaids here, we're now best of friends!" Chiharu cheered.

"Wait… what?"

"Don't give me that quizzical look! Ha ha! Of course, you'll forget." She taps Sakura's shoulders while laughing. "You were so drunk last night that Yukito carried you in bed last night."

*Flashback*

It took almost an hour and a half cab ride from Tokyo International Airport to Tomoeda. Ying Fa's thoughts were filled with the chocolate brown haired hottie who kissed her passionately and intoxicatingly delicious. She unknowingly touched her swollen lips with her fingers as she reminisce the feeling of his lips against hers. How it felt perfect being trapped in his shoulders and how it will feel much more when they become one. 'No, no!' Why am I thinking about that! That guy harassed me. Albeit it felt good and I responded.'

"We're here, Miss. Midnight Haven," the driver interrupted her contrasting trance.

"Oh, right. Thanks." Ying Fa paid the driver and gathered her bag and Cerby out of the taxi. She took a deep breath as she sighted the LED banner of Midnight Haven. 'I can do this. From now on, I'm Sakura Kinomoto. I can do this.'

Midnight Haven's exterior was not what she had expected. The roof was torn and tattered, there seemed to have a lot of patches. The walls were dilapidated with some spider webs and some murals, which appeared to be a Tengwar. There were no windows but a bloody red Victorian-style double door with a silver ring in the middle each. It gave off a vibe that the place was old and uninhabited. 'Is this really the place Yue gave me? She looked around the vicinity. The area was almost dark with a few light posts here and there. The moon did no good as it was blocked mostly by a cloud. The wind around her was chilly and she's starting to think that she's in a horrible horror movie. And all she needed was a perpetrator, maybe a creep, or a wild animal, or a monster, or a vampire. She reminded herself to hit his older brother from always scaring her with scary stories once she found him. Well, aside from leaving her.

'Oh, how much I miss him!', she thought. Cerby meowed to her as if he sensed her loneliness. 'Thanks, Cerby.' She took a deep a breath. 'Let's do this!'

Using a silver ring on the door, Sakura knocked. The Victorian-style doors opened and astonished, she entered a different world. She was welcomed by two big, muscled men. She didn't dare ask them anything but decided to just observe first. There were red and blue disco lights that dance the area and loud hip-hop music can be heard. A lot of middle-aged people were drinking, chatting, laughing, dancing, and some were flirting all over the place. As she stares around, her eyes spotted a stool near the bar and thought to ask the bartender instead. She walked slowly and sat inconspicuously-that-she's-new-in-town. She waited for the grey-haired bartender whom was busy tending a drunken guy to look her way so that she could ask him.

"How may I help you, Madam?" It was that familiar brown eyes, silver-haired guy that stares at her. But his eyes were hidden behind spectacles and his hair was shorter.

"Yue? What? Why-", Sakura got lost on her thoughts as questions overflowing her mind.

"Did you just call me 'Yue'?" He stopped and suddenly, he was in awe. "Are you t-the, the p-prin-", now he's the one lost for words.

After figuring out what he almost said amidst the loud noise and the crowd she replied, "Yes, I think."

"I'm Yukito Tsukishiro. You can call me 'Yukito'." He smiled genuinely.

"I-I'm…"

"Yes, I know who YOU are. There's no need to tell me. I know everything", Yukito said.

"Oh." Sakura didn't know what to say. 'What now? What do I have to do next now that I've found him?'

Yukito noticed the black haired beauty in front of her deep in her own thoughts. He used this time to look and fully stare the princess. He was taken aback that she has black hair when Yue used to describe her as golden browned. But it was her eyes, those emerald orbs that emphasize her exquisiteness. As long he laid his eyes on her, the deeper it affects him. Sure he had dated and had relationships before but he had never been this entranced just by looking at her. Maybe it's because of the innocence of her beauty, or maybe because there's something in her that makes you want to protect her. "So", calling her attention, "how was the flight? Did you find Midnight Haven easily?" He really didn't need to ask. He just wants to talk to her more and listen to her voice more.

Disrupted from her thoughts, she glanced at Yukito. He was looking at her with something in his eyes that she can't figure out. It was something like what she had already seen before. Not adding any-more-to-think-about, she decided to answer his question. Gathering her thoughts to what happened earlier, "It was okay…", and rapidly remembering what had happened at the airport, "the kiss was bliss", unintentionally voicing out her thoughts.

"What did you say? I didn't quite understand it."

She blushed realizing what she just said. 'Good thing he didn't heard it. Thank heavens for the loud music and for the dim lights for hiding my blush. Did that kiss really affected me that much that it's making me feel… hot?

Noting that she was lost again in her thoughts, which was becoming her habit, and a lot of patrons needs tending, he decided to do his duties. "Oh, well, I really should've work now. But first, do you want anything to drink? On the house," he whispered the last three words.

"Tequila will be fine."

*End of Flashback*

"Oh", Sakura muttered. "I think I should thank him for carrying me to bed."

"Yeah, you should. And I also wanted to talk to him. But I think we should take a bath first." Chiharu oriented Sakura to the two other rooms by which one has 2 toilets and 2 showers, while the other is the boys' room. "Before I forgot, your cat was downstairs. Pets are not allowed inside the rooms."

"I see. Thanks."

After they had finished taking a shower and donning up clothes, they went downstairs. Sakura took this moment to familiarize herself to her new home. Midnight Haven was very much different during the day. Gone were the disco lights, loud music, and a lot of people enjoying the night. All that remained was the wooden tables and chairs. 'It was half the size of the Grand Hall.' Looking at the bar, she saw Yukito talking to a black-haired guy, eyes that seemed to be closed, mumbling something while eating his breakfast.

"Oh, there you are!", Chiharu ran and kissed fervently the guy, who Sakura figured out was the one in bed with Chiharu earlier. The guy returned her kisses and when he groped her left breast, Sakura looked away and blushed.

"Don't mind them, my lady," Yukito called Sakura, "you'll get used to them eventually." He smiled.

Sakura's heart skipped a beat.

"So, what do you want for breakfast? We have rice omelets, noodles, and pancakes, your favorites." This time, Yukito winked at him.

'How did he know? And what's with his smile and wink? It makes my heart beat fast.'
