Rays of Midnight
Why?
Don't you love your fiancé anymore?
His eyes narrowed. His mouth curving into his teeth as he bit into his lower lip.
Why are you so difficult to figure out? He pondered as he absently reached of and pull a stray hair away from her face, his annoyed grunt Stupid hand, acting on its own... It had been 2 weeks and he still wasn't use to having her in here with him. How long would it take? Why do I want her by me all the time? He thought.
He caught his fingers lingering there on her face. I always find myself touching you. His expression changed then, from an annoyed glare to something else..
"You know... if you can't feel comfortable while I'm in here with you." Sakura started her eyes still closed, Startling Li. "You shouldn't bring me in here every night." She said in a smile while she opened her eyes. His gaze didn't waver, and for some reason the privacy of his coffin allowed him to be bolder in his actions, which surprisingly made him wonder when he had held back.
"If I let you run off by yourself you'll just go away again." He said in a tone harder than he had anticipated. "No I wont." She protested, her pout bringing out her lips. He couldn't help running a thumb over those pink, lush ….
"What are you doing?"
He stilled only for a second. He realized he was millimeters away from kissing her. "I thought you liked me." He said in an annoyed tone. She blushed scarlet, "O-Of course I do!"
Sigh. "You sound like your being forced to say it now." He said, and then all at once let go of her and turned away from her, on his other side now. He felt Sakura fidget around while he closed his eyes, staying completely still.
"Li.." Sakura started,
"What." He ordered, making her jump. "I-It's nothing!"
He grunted again and turned over, grabbing her by one shoulder and forcing her to look directly into his eyes. "Spit it out damn you!"
He stilled when he noticed tears in her eyes. "Please don't be mad at me."
Her eyes, so much purity in those green eyes. He felt trapped suddenly, why do you make me feel this way? He thought, his old Sakura coming into his mind again. He closed his eyes trying to remember her face, but now all he could see was this.. child. Panic entered him as he searched for his past feelings, Nothing.
Opening his eyes he saw Sakura there, her vivid tears cascading her perfectly pink cheeks. Her hair a beautiful, rebellious mess behind her. He felt himself sigh, The fucks happening to me? "Shut the hell up, I'm not mad at you." He said, and even though it sounded harsh she smiled brightly at him, then all at once she closed the distance between then and comfortably resting on her pretty head on his broad chest.
Something inside him was growing, the need that he felt for her was growing faster and faster. It was hard to describe precisely, it was a cross between constant confusion and the the necessity to always be near her. When she wasn't there.. her absence produced a growing annoyance inside of him and uncontrolled bursts of anger, when he was by her there was a noticeable softness. Almost as if... As if...
He was tame.
He hugged his Sakura close, the same confused expression on his face as he did. He hid face in her hair, inhaling her scent. "Just ... go to sleep. I'm tired."
He felt her little arms wrap around his waist. Yes, he thought. Hold onto me tight. His eyes never closed, he merely held onto her and kept his gaze on the top of her head, Never let go.... "Stupid..." He whispered, and for once, he wasn't directing it at her.

Wei let out a heavy sigh as he searched through various papers that were scattered across the floor, posted on the walls. He sat in the middle of the floor, his hands digging themselves into his hair. "This is bad."
Touya was leaning his shoulder on one of the paper tacked walls. "This is why we need to separate them before it's too late." He said in a rough tone, his eyes narrowed, "It would be a lot easier if you'd just let me stake the fucker right now. It would solve all of our problems." Touya said in an angry tone.
Wei shook his head, "But, they do belong together! They're destined for each other... then why... why does this not make any sense!" Wei started his hands reaching out for the papers again. "It's because his Sakura died." another voice interjected. Both men turned to the feminine boy that had made his way into the room.
He walked past Touya, avoiding his eyes. "Wei you remember Syaoran-kun's Sakura don't you?" He asked seeing Wei's face soften, "Indeed..,She looked just like Tomoyo." Wei said, "That's why Li chose her, and couldn't let her go." Yukito continued, "Yeah so why can't he just stay with that whore and stay away from my sister."
Yukito whirled around and punched Touya in the face. "Don't call Tomoyo-kun a whore!"
Touya fell to the floor, surprise written all over his face"!...-KUN!?". His hand flew right up to his cheek, pain vibrating there. "AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR!?" He shouted at him, Yukito didn't answer and turned back to Wei. "HEY!"
"Isn't it the life law that your soul is recycled six times before you go to heaven or hell?" Yukito started, making Wei stare at him for a moment, " Thats... right." He said surprised about Yukito's knowledge. "Upon becoming a vampire you are automatically taking yourself out of this cycle, there by which, if you were to die, you'd disappear. But Sakura never became a vampire" Yukito said, Wei's eyes going wider by the second. "So could it be possible that she was simply reborn again?"
"But.. it takes MILLIONS of YEARS to reincarnate. Not immediately.." Wei started again. His voice shaking slightly. "Well, thats possible, but it's only because the other half of the soul was never entered into the system.. so it came out on its own and took in a body so that it could once again be close to it's other part."
Yukito clapped his hands together, a light blush on his cheek. "Yes, one part of the soul was missing, so instead of taking that rest it immediately was reborn to search for its counterpart!"
"What are you talking about!? Are you Saying that Li and Sakura are soul mates?" Touya spoke, his face morphed in disgust. "I wont accept this!" He shouted pointing at both of the males in the room, "Both of you are fucking crazy!"
Yukito sighed and looked away from Touya. "It's not right." Yukito spoke suddenly making both Wei and Touya turn to him.
Yukito looked up at Wei, " Well we are gods creatures, so all of us are well aware of the life laws as any other creature of heaven is." Yukito continued, "If Syaoran forfeited his chances of reincarnation, and he's still in his first cycle. Sakura now being on her second, it's not allowed." Yukito said, his face sad, "If we don't manage to separate them, she either becomes one of them or faces an untimely death." Yukito spoke out.
"Then it's settled. We're separating them." Touya said immediately.
Wei shook his head, "But they are still bound to each other! From the moment they're eyes met it was an instant reconnection." Wei insisted, even though Touya was already walking out of the room. "We don't have a lot of options here..." Yukito continued, "We're running on a lot of mixed feelings..." Yukito persisted. Touya was already out the door, "I don't want to continue this anymore."
Wei reached up and rubbed his forehead. "He wasn't a part of her life up til now, Shouldn't I as her father figure have a say in this?" Wei started, "In the end it is Sakura's decision after all. No matter what your lover says, this is going to happen. Can't we just see that it does without any harm done to either party? I don't want to lose Sakura." Wei started.
Yukito looked to Wei in a curious anger. "What do you mean.. lose her? Are you.. saying you want her to be turned?" Yukito started, his form going closer to the older man, his eyes widening as if realizing that Yukito had it wrong. "Nono, I don't mean that-"
" You better not have! Sakura isn't a sad soul that needs you as a last resort! She has us! If you would of seen her back at home. She was miraculous.. she blossomed into our princess! She even impressed our ambassadors son! So this isn't her only option. She's political in our world now, so she cannot be turned!" Yukito said angrily, "If she is turned."
Wei met eye to eye with him, "It will start a war."
