I am baaaaaack. Thanks so much to everyone
who reviewed! Honestly, I did not think the story was doing so good, and did
not expect so many of them! You guys have no idea how happy I was to see 16
reviews in my e-mail! ^_^ Thanks again! Fanfiction.net is FINALLY letting me
add chapters, and for all you people who where waiting for it, I have chapter 3
ready and should have that up soon, Just want to edit it a bit! Well anyways...

~Sakura Tsukino~
Disclaimer- Why do they make us put these
things up?! Everyone hopefully already knows we don't own Card Captors, or
CLAMP! If we did, would we be wasting our times writing fan fiction on it when
we could write them and continue the series and actually get money, something I
don't have because that five dollars I had I spent on gummy worms. *Sigh* Well,
if you did not get the message, I don't own CCS or CLAMP.
*A.N.* Be Genki! (^_^) (^_^) (^_^) Kami-sama knows I am!

(Recap from last chapter time)
Sakura looked back up at Yue. This is going
to be interesting. Till tomorrow this time Yue would be able to do what ever he
wanted and in his true form.
"So Yue-chan, what are you going to
do?" Sakura asked as she leaned against the bed rest. She felt so tired.
"I don't know. I-" But whatever
it was that he was going to do, Sakura did not find out, for once again, all
around her turned into blackness...
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
"What? Am I dreaming again?"
Sakura asked softly as she looked around again. Still nothing!
"Sakura..." said a familiar
voice.
But not the same one from her dream. It
was Yue.
Sakura whipped around and saw Yue standing
there with her in the dream.
"Yue-chan!" Sakura called
happily as she began to run towards him when another voice spoke behind her.
"Sakura..." Sakura gasped as she
turned and saw Yukito standing there.
"Yukito-chan?" she asked.
"How are you both here?!"
"Sakura...is this not your greatest
desire...?" Came the voice from before.
"What? You mean Yukito-chan and
Yue-chan as two different people?" she said. Sakura thought about this. I
guess it was right. She had always wished that Yue and Yukito where two
different people so that Yue would be able to do what ever he wanted. But she
did not want time to be taken away from Yukito...
Sakura nodded to the voice, it was right.
This was her greatest desire.
Sakura opened her eyes, and saw she was
still in the tower with Yue. But next to him was Yukito.
"Yukito-chan! Yue-chan!" Sakura
said shocked. Her dream made it real! They where now two different people!
"Hey Sakura-chan." Yukito
smiled. Yue sat down next to her.
"You greatest desire has come true,
Sakura-san." he whispered to her.
"Huh? How did you know what happened
in my dream, unless...I'm still dreaming!" Sakura said disappointedly.
"But Sakura-chan, dreaming or not, we
are still two different people now. You can stay here with us forever."
Yukito explained. "It will be just like your awake."
"No, but Touya-chan, Tomoyo-chan,
Yue-chan, Kero-chan, father...they will all be worried about me!" she said
as she tried to sit up. "I need to wake up!" she screamed.
"Sakura-san." Yue said as he
held her down.
"No! The real Yue-chan would never
make me stay here if I did not want too! Let me go!" Sakura screamed.
"Sakura-san, this is what you have
always wanted. Why would you want to throw it away?" said the other voice.
But it sounded different now.
Yukito, Yue, and the tower all disappeared
into the blackness again, and standing before her now, was The Dream Card.
"The Dream Card! Yue-chan was
right!" Sakura whispered.
"Sakura...this was your greatest
desire." It said sadly. "I care for you as my mistress. I wanted to
give you what you wanted. Why do you not want this?" Sakura looked at her
wide-eyed then smiled.
"Thank you, but I can't. I would miss
everyone, I would always know the people in my dream where not real, but just
my memory of them. And also the fact everyone would be worried about me if I
never woke up." Sakura explained to the Card.
The Dream nodded her head softly in
understanding and looked back up at her and smiled.
"If that is what you desire."
Sakura gasped as she quickly sat up in
bed, her head hitting the side of Yue's face.
"Ah! Yue-chan!? I am so sorry! Wait,
are you real?" Sakura asked hurriedly. Yue rubbed his face then looked
down at her.
"I glad you are finally awake,
Sakura-san. It has been an hour. I was getting worried." He replied.
"Then you are real! Oh Yue-chan, I
was so afraid I would never see you again! Or the real you at least. You where
right, it was a card. It was The Dream Card! It kept asking what my greatest
desire was so it could make a dream world where it was real! It wanted me to
stay their forever Yue-chan! Never seeing you or Yukito-chan or Kero-chan or Tomoyo
or father or anyone!" Sakura sobbed.
"Sakura-san, you are back now, and
The Dream Card will now leave you alone." Yue explained softly to her,
stroking her hair in an effort to comfort her. Sakura was going to nod her
head, but it made her head spin, and she felt like throwing up.
"Oh" Sakura murmured as she lay
down. "Yue-chan, I don't feel good."
Yue looked carefully into her eyes, and
then they began to glow.
"You have a high fever, probably from
using to much magic lately, and you're so weak from getting your new powers.
Stay there." He said as he stood up and walked away. He then returned a
moment later with a wet cloth, and placed it on her forehead.
"*cough*, thanks, Yue-chan. But don't
waste any more of your time. You only have till tomorrow. Go do what ever you
want to do. Kero-chan should be home." Sakura smiled weakly, knowing he
did not like Kero all that much. Yue smiled at her and shook his head no.
"Sorry, Sakura-san, but I am going to
take care of you till you are better." He said as he sat back down on the
wooden chair. "Don't worry, it is only temporary. It should not last much
longer then an hour. You probably should sleep."
"No thanks!" Sakura replied
laughing, then regretting it when her stomach turned over. "I think I have
slept enough for one day..."
Even though, Sakura soon drifted to sleep,
and this time, the Dream Card didn't bother her.
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
Yue watched as his mistress fell asleep
even against her words. No matter what, she always seemed peaceful in her
sleep. He looked outside as he saw the sun setting and the Moon with the stars
appear in the sky. He looked back at Sakura's face and could not help smiling.
He had not been sure of her powers when she had been ten, but now, she was so
strong.
He felt Cerberus enter the tower. He
should have known sooner or later he would stop playing his video games to
realize Sakura had not been home. He slowly turned his head to give a quick
glance at him as he flew over glaring at him, than looked back down at his
mistress.
"So here she is!" Kero yelled as
he flew to land on the large soft mattress. "What happened, Yue-san? Why
are you two here?" Yue took his time to respond, then looked
expressionlessly at Kero.
"She fainted at the school, where
Yukito and Touya where to looking for her. I then brought her here, until she
awoke. When she did, Touya tolled her to go home as he left for a study group,
and Sakura fainted again. It turned out to be The Dream Card, and Sakura woke
up with a fever. She is now resting." Yue explained.
"Right. And why did you feel it was
unimportant to tell me?!" he huffed as he flew next to Sakura's head and
placed one furry paw on her forehead.
"I felt it best not to leave
her." He replied shortly. "But she should be fine once she waked
up."
"Ah man, poor kid." Kero said
quietly. Yue looked at him curiously.
"Kid, Cerberus-san? I think our
mistress is no longer the child who first released the Clow Cards." He
stated simply.
"No, she isn't. And in just two weeks,
she will be all grown up." He commented. Kero was silent for a minuet,
then said,
"Yue-san, I'm worried about her. Once
she is older, what will happen to her? She only has her father, brother,
Yukito, Tomoyo, Eriol, Kaho, Li, and us in her life really. How will life be
for her when Tomoyo gets married, and Touya goes off for his own life? Her
father won't be around forever, and then all there will be is us three. Will
she live a lonely life like Clow Reed?"
"Sakura has other friends then
Tomoyo, Cerberus-san, you should know that." Yue replied, though he
understood what Kero meant.
"Oh, sure she does, Yue-san, but what
will it be like, having friends when you have so many secretes to keep from
them. She may get friends and loose friends, but no matter what, in the end,
Sakura will only have Tomoyo. She spent four years sealing cards, turning them
into Sakura Cards, and then living with her spirit world seeing father and
brother, who gave it up for you and Yukito, and you and me always being around
her." Yue sighed softly and did not reply for a moment.
"Cerberus-san, Sakura will always be
happy. Sakura is a star, a rare treasure. She is not only strong, but loyal and
kind. She will meet others like Tomoyo who can share her secretes. Sakura will
also have Yukito, Eriol, Kaho, Li and us by her side forever, but that will
always be more than enough for her."
"You are right, Yue-san. Sakura will
be always find something to be happy about."
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
Sakura awoke later to find Yue and Kero
actually talking. No fighting, just talking without the usual snide remarks.
Kero was doing most of the talking.
"And you got to try 'ice cream cake',
it is so good tasting! There are so many different ice cream flavors to pick
from too!" Kero said, as his eyes got starry as he began listing off a
bunch of ice cream flavors. "Rocky Road, Cotton Candy, Cookies n' Cream,
Cookies n' Dough, Pepper Mint..."
Yue just sat there with his eyes closed,
already long since not been listening, though he was not asleep. Sakura giggled
as she listened to Kero list his favorite ice cream, which was nearly every
single flavor he could get his hands on.
"You better stop Kero-chan, before
you get any ideas!" Sakura said happily. Yue's purple eyes opened and
looked over at Sakura as Kero stopped in telling how vanilla ice cream tasted
sweet, but chocolate was the best.
"Good evening, Sakura-san. Feeling
better?" he asked.
"Yeah! I feel great. Thanks
Yue-chan!" she replied.
"Hey Sakura-chan! Your awake!"
Kero called as he flew over to her.
"Hey Kero-chan, I see you found me,
huh?" Sakura smiled.
"That wasn't funny, I got worried you
know?" he replied crossly as he crossed his furry arms.
"Worried? You mean before or after
you finished the final boss of Chrono Cross?"(A.N.- don't know what he
plays, and I love this game ^_^) she answered laughing.
"Hmph." Kero muttered.
"Listen Sakura-chan, when I left, I told Fujitaka-san I was going to go
see you, he said to tell me that he would be leaving for a dig, and would not
be home till three days."
"Oh yeah, dad was saying something
about that last week." Sakura remembered.
"And all this morning, which you
where not listening as you where wolfing down your breakfast in a hurry to get
to school." He muttered.
"Quiet, stuffed animal." Sakura
teased, sticking her tongue out at him.
"Stuffed animal, huh?!" Kero
asked angrily as he turned into his true form. "Now, tell me what you just
said?"
"Cerberus-san, must you always act as
such?" Yue asked tiredly. Kero changed back and glared at Yue.
"Umm...I am guessing what ever truce
you two had made is officially gone, right?" Sakura said scratching her
head. "Wow, that did not last long, now did it?"
Yue smiled softly at her, and Kero
sweatdropped. (A.N.- anime style! ^_~)
"This will be so cool though! It's
been so long since dad had to go to a dig, and now I get the house to my self
for the whole weekend!" Sakura said happily and then looked at Kero who
looked annoyed. "And...Kero-chan too." Kero looked a little happier
after this. Sakura's eyes then lit up and she turned to Yue.
"Yue-chan, you can stay with us
too!" Sakura said happily. Kero's eyes turned wide.
"Aww...does he have to,
Sakura-chan?" Kero moaned.
"Yes, he has too, unless you have
some other idea better than that." She answered back. "Or if he does
not want to."
"No, Sakura-san, I think it would be
better if I stayed here, though you and Cerberus-san may stay here too if you
wish." Yue said.
"Okay, then I will stay here, and
Kero-chan will...?" Sakura trailed off, waiting for Kero to finish.
"Go back to the house. Refrigerator
raiding!" Kero sheered happily as he threw one small paw into the air, and
Sakura giggled.
"...and Kero-chan will return to the
house and not raid the refrigerator." She sighed.
"Aww..." Kero muttered as he
flew off the side of the tower and began to fly back home. Sakura sat up and
waved from the bed.
"Bye Kero-chan!" She called,
then sat back down. "My legs feel so tired from sleeping most of the
day." Sakura said as she rubbed them.
"Try standing up." Yue
instructed.
"Okay." Sakura said as she sat
on the side of the bed, then stood up, a little weakly as she took a few steps.
"It's not that bad, really." Yue smiled over at her, and stood up as
well. Sakura turned her head to smile at him, but this of course made her not
able to see the raise in the wooden floor, which her socked feet tripped over.
"Ahh!" Sakura screamed as she
fell. Yue ran over to where Sakura was sprawled on the floor and kneeled down
next to her. (A.N.- What, did you think he would be fast enough to catch her
from over by the bed?! ^_~)
"Are you alright, Sakura-san?"
he asked as he picked her up and sat her on the bed.
"Yeah, I guess I should have been
watching where I was going, huh?" Sakura laughed. Yue put out his hand to
her and said,
"Come on, I'll help you." He
said, feeling strange. He never acted like this before. Sakura smiled at him
and took his hand, as he helped her stand up. Her legs felt better now, and
walking was pretty simple for her now, just as long as she looked where she was
going.
"Hey, Yue-chan, what do you do for
fun?" Sakura asked as she seated herself in chair next to a wooden table.
"Well, I usually just fly around
outside, or sit on the roof, though most of the time I just sleep." He
said thoughtfully.
"Fly, sit, and sleep." Sakura
listed with wide eyes and smiled. "You need a hobby. Come on, let's go get
some ice cream!"
"But I can not eat, mistress."
Yue explained as he sat down across from her.
"Noo...you just don't have to.
Kero-chan does, all the time." Sakura pointed out. "I promise, like
Kero-chan was saying, ice cream is delicious."
"Okay then, I will try some."
Yue nodded.
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
Sakura exited the ice cream parlor holding
two ice cream cones, each one having Rocky Road ice cream in it. Seeing no one
was around, she used The Jump Card to go on top of the building, where Yue was
waiting.
"Here you go, Yue-chan. It's Rocky
Road ice cream, Kero-chan probably tolled you all about it." She laughed
as she handed him one of the cones.
"I think I remember him mentioning
it, I was not entirely listening to him at the time." Yue explained.
Sakura began eating the ice cream when she saw Yue was staring at it.
"Oh, come on, Yue-chan, it's really
good! Try it at least, if you don't like it, I won't make you eat it."
Sakura begged. Yue glared at the offending cone and opened his mouth and put it
around the ice cream trying to figure out how to eat it. He took a bit of, and
then took a second trying to find out how to swallow.
Sakura watched with amusement as he tried
to eat it. Finally when he had swallowed it, he looked up at her.
"It's alright, I suppose." He
said as he she waited for him to respond.
"See? It wasn't that bad, was
it?" she smiled and took a bite of her own ice cream.
"Let's go back before someone sees
us." Sakura said pulling out the Key of Sakura (?) and the Fly Card.
"Fly Card!" she cried as the
seal broke and on her back grew long white wings similar to Yue's. Sakura
flapped them once and then flew high into the sky, followed by Yue, as they
flew back to the tower.
When they got back, Sakura let her wings
vanish as she landed on the side of the tower, and Yue landed down next to her.
Sakura walked over and sat down in her
previous chair and happily chomped down on her ice cream, while Yue ate it
slowly still trying to get the whole factor of 'bite, chew, swallow' down. He
was thankful though it was not something that he could choke on.
When Sakura finished she talked to Yue
about things going on with at school, with her friends, how Tomoyo's new outfit
was going and how she had stayed up till three working on it until she fell
asleep at her desk.
Yue ate while he actually listened to her,
unlike with Kero, commenting to a few questions Sakura asked him. When Yue
finally finished, Sakura realized it was 10:46.
"What?! It's nearly eleven
already?" Sakura gasped. Yue looked at her.
"I guess it is." He replied.
Sakura laughed.
"All I had for dinner was ice cream,
my father would not be happy, that's for sure!"
Sakura then stood up and walked a few
steps looking around, then turned to look back at Yue who was watching her
curiously.
"What can we do now?" Sakura asked.
"I'll look in my backpack for something."
Sakura pulled her backpack over to the
table which she had found with her school hat and shoes by the bed and opened
it up, dumping the few items in it on the table.
Sakura looked through it finding her roller
blades, a notebook, math book, and a kick ball.
"Hey, let's play catch or something,
Yue-chan!" Sakura suggested as she picked up the kick ball.
Yue was about to say something when
something caught his eye. He looked under the notebook to see a photo...
"Or if you have something else,
we-" Sakura stopped a she too saw what he was trying to get from under the
notebook, and with horror, realizing what it was, tried to grab it from him,
but too late.
Yue grabbed the photo before Sakura could
stop him and looked at it wide eyed. Cerberus!
"Cerberus-san?" Yue stated more
than asked flatly.
"Uh...yeah." Sakura said,
blushing furiously. "He gave them to Tomoyo-chan, and when she showed them
to me, I took them away. I was going to throw them away, but I guess I
forgot."
Yue nodded and placed it back down. Though
his face did not show it, he had been embarrassed to see the photo. Sakura
quickly stashed the pictures in her backpack and then with all her other stuff.
"Maybe we should just go to sleep for
the night." Sakura said, changing her mind, and Yue nodded.
"Alright, Sakura-san." He
agreed. Sakura walked over and jumped on the bed, and pulled the blanket back
over her that smelt of spices like Yue.
Yue looked at her and wondered what to do.
Though the bed was large, and indeed could fit nicely five people, six if
necessary, he could not sleep on the same bed as Sakura. Though he would not
mind.
Sakura sat up and looked at Yue.
"Yue-chan, aren't you going to sleep
too?" She asked. "Come on, there is more than enough room." Yue
hesitated and then replied,
"But I can not sleep in the same bed
as you, mistress."
"Don't call me that! Especially when
I get even more mad about it cause I'm already mad about my emotions
increasing!" She yelled hotly. "Now come on, Yue-chan, Kero-chan
sleeps with me all the time." He blinked then sighed as he walked over and
then lay down on the other, about five feet from Sakura since he had tried to
get his wings on the bed also, since it hurt to have them hanging off the side.
Yue closed his eyes and tried to go to
sleep while ignoring the fact that Sakura was right next to him. He had long
since thought of her as some sort of friend, but lately, she seemed to be more
than a friend. He enjoyed her company and looked forward to seeing her again.
Once while Yukito and Touya where together, like this, he had been curious as
to had Sakura ever done anything like this with some other boy, and felt that
it was most likely she had not, for she never went out with anyone.
He remembered back with Clow, it had been
some what similar with what Yukito and Touya shared, but Clow did not seem to
share his feelings totally.
Soon though, Yue fell asleep.
Sakura though was thinking, and could not
fall asleep. It also did not help that she had been asleep most of the day.
Now what Sakura thought about what where
what normal naïve seventeen-year-olds tend to think about. Guys, or a
particular guy, in Sakura's case. She thought about how Yue had been so sweet
to her today, and once it got on those lines, and she began to think more
deeply about Yue, she began to wonder what made Yue more special then all her
other friends that she wanted to continually be around him.
Soon, Sakura heard the word following
words go across her mind.
"Maybe it's more than friendship I
feel for him..."
Sakura gasped aloud, and was thankful Yue
was already asleep. She realized, indeed, this was true. She knew she had a
crush on him before, but had thought it, now that she was older, that it might
have only been infatuation. But no, it went further than that, and she felt
sick again.
Yue would never feel the same.
He wouldn't, he had loved Clow, and even
after Clow had been dead, he had not wanted her nor Li as his new
master/mistress. But now at least she had his friend ship. If she told him, he
might get mad at her for wanting to replace Clow, and decided against it.
No, losing Yue's friendship was not worth
it.
But was lying better? Pretending everyday
to be his friend and be happy that was all it would ever be?
For most of the night, Sakura thought
about this, and in the end decided one day, maybe, she would tell him.
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
Sakura woke up to the feeling of something
soft and warm brushing slightly against her cheek, which a moment after opening
her eyes, realized it was Yue's wing brushing against her cheek each time he
took in a breath.
Sakura yawned tiredly, and looked over at
his face. She smiled softly at him and gazed at him for a moment. To think it
took her this long to realize she loved him!
She leaned carefully over his wing, trying
not to hurt it as she shook his shoulder.
"Yue-chan..." She whispered
quietly. "It's morning, you can wake up now." Yue slowly opened his
amethyst eyes and looked at her emerald ones.
"Sa...kura...?" he said
drowsily. Sakura nodded with a smile.
"Yep, come on, time to wake up!"
She said as she sat up on the bed yawning again.
Yue sat up too, than stood. He walked over
to her and held out his hand to her like the other day to help her up, smiling.
"Thanks." Sakura blushed as she
accepted his offered hand. Sakura stood up and realized it was nearly ten o'
clock. "It never fails...up late again." Yue smiled down at her.
"No, it doesn't, Sakura-chan."
said a smile humorous voice. Sakura cringed, knowing who it was, and turned to
see Tomoyo and Kero at the table.
"Well, nice to see you're finally
up." Tomoyo smiled mischievously.
"Hello again, Tomoyo-san." Yue
greeted as he sat down at the table too, unfazed, followed hesitantly by
Sakura.
"Uh...hello, Yue-san." Tomoyo
responded lightly.
"Tomoyo-chan! What are you doing
here?" Sakura asked surprised as she tried to distract her friend of what
she must have seen when she entered the tower.
"I went over earlier to your house to
tell you about the completion of your outfit, but Kero-chan tolled me you where
here, and came with me. Of course, you two where asleep though..." she
smiled.
"Uh, er, well, you see is, what
happened was..." Sakura stuttered as she tried to come up with an excuse.
"There was no where else for me to
sleep, so it was necessary." Yue explained for her. Sakura smiled
thankfully at Yue and nodded to Tomoyo and Kero.
"Hmph yeah right, after last time,
you guys just could not get enough of each other is my bet." Kero
whispered to Tomoyo, even though all could still hear.
"Kero-chan!" Sakura wailed
blushing.
"What?!" he asked defensively.
"I said nothing." Sakura giggled and thought of a way to change the
subject.
"I'm hungry, let's go get something
to eat!" she said.
"I told Tomoyo-chan that you would be
hungry and since Yue has no food here, we brought something from home."
Kero explained.
"You mean you actually didn't eat all
the food in the house?!" Sakura gasped mockingly, and Tomoyo giggled,
pulling out a basket with a cloth on top of it. She took off the sheet and
pulled out muffins and orange juice boxes, handing one of each to all of them,
hesitating at Yue.
"Yue, would you like a muffin and
some orange juice too?" She asked smiling. Yue shook his head no.
"I do not eat, Tomoyo-san." He
said, like to Sakura the other night. Tomoyo smiled and nodded, placing back
the muffin and orange juice.
"Alright, Yue-san."
"Yum yum! Chocolate chip!" Kero
drooled as he took a huge bite out of his.
"Ah, Kero-chan, one day you will be
as fat and round as that muffin, and you won't be able to fly at all!"
Sakura teased.
"Yeah?!" Kero asked while
stuffing his face, "I'll worry about that when I am." He replied,
than took another big bite, causing Sakura and Tomoyo to laugh.
"Hey Yue-san, what are you going to
do today?" Tomoyo asked. Yue looked over at her.
"I suppose I will find something of
interest. Even just sitting around all day till I have to turn back is fine."
He explained.
"Yue-chan," Sakura said as she
looked up at him. How she wished she did not have that revelation last night
about her feelings for Yue. How was she supposed to act around him now?
"If you want, you can join us later." Yue nodded and stared at the
wall.
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
"Well Sakura, Kero-chan will be
leaving now!" Tomoyo said in a funny voice, later after they had finished
eating.
"Huh?" Sakura blinked at her
friend. "Leaving? Why don't you and Kero-chan stay, Tomoyo-chan?"
"Well...you see, Sakura, me and Kero
have things to do." Tomoyo smiled innocently.
"Uh, yeah! We'll be back later!"
Kero yelled over his shoulder as he flew over to the stairs and Tomoyo waved as
she ran after him.
"Bye...!" She called.
"Uh...why do I have the feeling they
are up to something?!" Sakura yelled angrily after them, knowing they
could here when she heard soft giggling come back up the stairs.
"So Yue-chan, want to go do something
outside this old tower?" Sakura asked as she thought about how wonderful
it would be to spend the day with him!
"Alright." Yue nodded. It would
be interesting to walk around a bit. Yue concentrated then his wings
disappeared.
"We can go to the market! Around
there they have all kinds of things!" She suggested as they walked down
the stairs, which where pretty long.
"Ow...my legs! Why do the stairs have
to be so long?! We should have just flown!" Sakura muttered angrily
causing Yue to smile slightly. It was only a week till she was eighteen; soon things
would be getting rough.
"Hey! What are you smiling about
huh?! Of course that did not tire your legs, you're the Guardian of the Moon!
it's not fair! Why do I have to get tired? Doesn't being a sorcerer help at all
in times like this?!" She yelled loudly.
"Sakura-san, I think it would be wise
to keep your voice down in case someone should hear you. Next time we can fly
up their, promise." Yue explained, and Sakura nodded as they walked off.
Their was a slight russle in the bushes
near by, and a young boy about eighteen, seventeen, with dark brown hair and
blue eyes popped his head out, holding a soccer ball in his hand.
"What where they talking about?!
Sorcerer?! Flying?!?! What the Hell are they talking about?!?!?!" He
muttered then ran back hurriedly to the soccer field where his friends where
yelling at him to hurry. He was just hearing things, of course, he had too.
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
"Oh Yue-chan! Try this on! This will
look so funny on you!" Sakura squealed as she handed him a yellow bonnet
of a rack at the market. Yue glared at the hat then placed it on his head,
looking upset. Sakura broke out into laughter.
"Oh my god! You *laugh* look sooo
*laugh* funny!" Yue glared at the sky then ripped the hat off his head and
put it back down. Many people where staring at them, mostly because of how Yue
looked. Long silver hair? Purple eyes? And not to mention his clothes did not
look like something they where all wearing. Then the event of all the hats
Sakura made him try on.
"Mistress, may we go look somewhere
else?" Yue asked annoyed. He had to admit that it was interesting walking
around, never mind the stares, but he could not try on another hat.
"Oh, alright, Yue-chan! But don't
call me mistress again! Especially in public!" Sakura agreed, and Yue
nodded.
Sakura dragged him to a bookstore where she was looking around
with Yue behind her, when someone bumped into her.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I was not
looking-Sakura-chan?!" the voice said and Sakura turned to see she had
bumped into Nikki and the gang from school.
"Nikki-chan! Everyone! What are you
doing here?!" Sakura asked worriedly. Yue was with her!
"We are shopping, of course,
silly!" she said.
"Hey, whose that?" one of them
asked as they all looked up at Yue. Oh no! Sakura thought.
"Um, this is a...a...business partner
of my dad! He came in from uh...India! I'm showing him around a bit, you
know?" Sakura said smiling faintly.
"India? His skin is really pale for
India, isn't it?" Nikki asked.
"Um, he was not born their you see,
he is from...England!" Sakura said, thinking of the first place coming to
mind.
"Oh..." she said unsure.
"Well anyways, Yue-ch...san! And I
got to get going you know! Dad's waiting!" Sakura smiled broadly hoping
they would not notice her lie.
"Oh well, nice meeting you,
Yue-san!" one of the other girls said. And yue nodded.
"Nice meeting friends of Sakura. Good
bye." Yue smiled tentatively. The girls eyes got foggy and they smiled
back dreamily. Sakura glared at them jealously.
"Come on, we better hurry."
Sakura muttered as she walked off. Nikki and co. looked at her strangely.
"Was it me, or did she glare at
us?" Nikki asked confused.

After the market, Sakura and Yue had gone
to her house. Yue thought it quite humorous that Sakura was finding something
interesting in everything and kept talking about everything that crossed her
mind.
"Sakura-san, it is four already, I
need to change back into Yukito in an hour." Yue explained when they where
in her room and Sakura gasped looking at her watch.
"Oh my god! It is! You only have an
hour left, oh Yue-chan, I wished you got more time, I miss you!" Sakura
cried out and began crying hysterically.
"Oh Sakura-san..." Yue soothed
as he rocked her gently.
"Yue-chan, it's not fair! I like
spending time with you, your more fun then Kero-chan because I don't have to
stuff you in my purse and hide you! Yue-chan...!" she sobbed as she sat
down on the bed with Yue.
"Shh...don't worry, Sakura-san."
He said gently.
"What is going on?" Kero asked
as he flew in carrying a small piece of cake. "God, I can't trust to leave
you two alone, can I?" he muttered.
"Oh Kero-chan! I don't want for
Yue-chan to constantly have to trade forms between Yukito-chan and himself!"
Sakura weeped.
"Oh Sakura-chan..." Kero sighed
as he flew over. "Don't worry. Things may be able to change. Only
maybe..." he left off.
"Go on, don't spend the hour crying
go do something till five." He continued as he flew down next to the Playstation
and pulled out street fighter to play.
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
An hour later, Sakura had decided to walk
back to Touya's and Yukito's apartment with Yue. Once they got their Sakura
smiled up at him.
"Yue-chan...I want to tell you something."
Sakura sighed. On the way here she had thought about telling him...
Telling him her fealings!
Yes she would do it, and she kami-sama he
did not reject her!
"Yes, Sakura-san?" Yue asked
patiently.
"Yue-chan...I have to tell you
something I discovered last night. I know you might not like this, but
Yue-chan, I love you..." Their! She had said it! Now she had to wait for
his reaction. Sakura gulped nervously.
Yue stared down at her in shock. What did
she just say?! No, it can't be true! Wait, its just because of her eighteenth
birthday, her friendship to me seems more than that to her, she just thinks
that is love.
"Oh, Sakura-san..." he sighed.
"Tell me, do you really think what you feel to me is love?" he asked.
"Yes Yue-chan, I do!" Sakura
cried out.
"Sakura-san...tell me, do you feel
the same way you felt towards Li-san?" he asked slowly.
"Yes I-" Sakura thought about
her feelings towards Syaoran. They had not felt like this...No, it was not the
same! Then...he knows its only my magic increasing! "No, it isn't,
Yue-chan. Its only my magic, isn't it?" Yue nodded.
"See, mistress? Don't worry, it has
happened to many sorcerers before you. Don't worry about it." He smiled
softly then turned into Yukito who looked very confused.
"Yukito-chan!" Sakura smiled.
"I feel... so strange." He said
confusedly. Sakura frowned then smiled again.
"Oh, I think it's because Yue spent
the whole day with us this time, thanks to you!' Sakura smiled falsely. She had
to think about what had just happened... "Listen, Yukito-chan! Go see
Touya-san, I got to get going. Bye!" she said.
"Alright, better hurry, it looks like
it's going to rain." He replied looking up in the sky. He was right. Dark
storm clouds where already moving ahead.
"Alright, see you later." Sakura
smiled once more then walked off home.
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
When Sakura finally got home, it was just
beginning to rain. She looked out the window as she saw it rain slightly at
first, then beat hard against the ground relentlessly.
"Hey Sakura-chan, welcome back!"
Kero said as he flew down to her from the stairs. "And just in time
too." He continued as he looked out the window too. Sakura nodded and
walked up the stairs to her room.
So she only felt friendship towards
Yue-chan? She had only thought that she had loved him because of her magic...
She sighed as she sat by her window and took off her shoes and socks.
But she had felt so sure... Why was her
friendship with Kero-chan and Tomoyo-chan also increased if that was happening?
Why just Yue-chan? But no it was not love, she persisted, for it was different
to what she had felt towards Li-chan.
"Hey Sakura-chan! Want some fudge
cookies?!" Kero asked as he flew in carrying a bunch of cookies as he
licked his lips.
"No thanks, Kero-chan, just
make sure not to eat all of them!" she warned as she turned around to look
out the window. She listened to the slight hissing and patter of the rain
against the leaves on the trees and the ground.
Li... she had loved him so much, but three
years ago, after his week vacation in Tokyo, at the airport, he had said it was
over.
::flash
back::
"Sakura-san, you might not understand
now, but you will one day, when you find someone you truly love. It's not love
we share, but something else. I am not sure of it yet, but what I do know is
that I do love Meilin-chan! I'm sorry, Sakura-san. I promise though, we can be
friends. I will write to you all the time." He had explained as Sakura had
cried begging him to not leave her.
"I don't understand! I do love you,
why are you saying I don't?!" She had sobbed.
"You don't, and one day, you will see
that." He had said one final time then boarded the plane.
"Li-san!" Sakura had sobbed as
she sat down in the chair, as Tomoyo came over from where she had been watching
from afar to comfort her.
::end
flash back::
True to his words, he had written each
week, and she too. Not too long ago she got notice of Meilin's and Li's
engagement. She had felt sad, but was so happy for them. Meilin was really a
great person, as well as Li. They loved each other.
Sakura suddenly gasped as she recalled his
words.
It's not love, but something else. One day
you will understand...
She new what it had been! She felt the
same thing towards Yukito-chan! Why had she not noticed before! She only loved
him as a brother! And him, a sister! Now she understood what he had ment!
But if this was true, what she felt for
Yue-chan was love!
Sakura stood up so fast her chair knocked
over.
"Sakura-chan! Be careful!"
Kero-chan said as he ate another cookie.
"I'll be right back!" Sakura had
said hurriedly as she ran down the stairs.
"What? Sakura-chan?!" Kero had
yelled after her, as she opened the door and ran out into the pounding rain and
headed towards Yukito's and Touya's apartments...
~¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤*¤~
