Title: At the Beginning (Chapter 6)
Genre: Card Captor Sakura (song fic)

Pairings: Same as before! Still undecided on the Sun Guardian dilemma though.
Notes: This will be almost completely revolved around Sakura and Yue with hardly any plot at all… O.o;
Warning: None that I am aware of yet. O.o
Disclaimer: I don't own these fabulous characters. It's such a shame… But Even, Sidereal, and Crinis are mine. I think that's a nice consolation. ^_^ At the Beginning does not belong to me either. It belongs to the makers of Anastasia I believe.
~ We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
Sakura looked out of her window and smiled lightly. The twilight air seemed to be calling her name beckoning for her to feel the air on her skin. Running to her closet, she pulled out a light pink pull over shirt with a hood, then a pair of light blue flares. Smiling into the mirror, she didn't even think about the fact that she wasn't wearing any shoes. Spinning about, she skipped over to her desk and pulled out the Sakura book. Slipping them into her pocket, she kept only one card in her hand. "Key that hides the power of the stars, reveal yourself unto me, your master Sakura! Release!"
Twirling the star wand she allowed herself to get a feel for the object she hadn't used in so long. Tonight was a night full of memories and she wanted to walk down that road again. A small smile brushed over her china doll face as she threw the card into the air gently and tapped her wand upon it. "Fly!"
Dusty pink wings soon sprouted from her shoulders and spread out elegantly behind her. As if for the first time, she gazed into the reflection of the girl that had grown much taller complete with curvatures she hadn't had before. Reaching back her gentle fingertips slid over one of the off white feathers bringing a smile to her face. It was the second card she had caught after the Windy and both she and Fly had come a long way in appearance. "Going out tonight Sakura-chan?"
Turning about, Sakura saw the sun guardian hovering in the doorway smiling at her. Kero knew that Sakura was having a rough time lately and anything that made her smile was good enough for him. "May I come along?"
"Sure! I want to remember. I want to remember everything Kero-chan!" The girl smiled brightly giving Kero flashbacks of the small girl he had met at the age of ten that awoke him by opening the book of Clow. "Iku! The sky is calling me!"
"Yoshi!" Hopping onto her shoulder he watched her open the window then jump out onto the tree limb nearest to her room. From there she lifted off and gracefully touched down on the highest peak of her house. The two watched in awe as the last light of the sun peaked out from the horizon then slowly disappeared from sight wrapping the city in peaceful night. "You're right! It is a beautiful night for flying."
"Hai!" Pulling out another card she ran her finger over it lovingly. It was the Illusion card. Back when she had believed herself to be head over heels in love with Yukito. Back when she didn't know that he had another side. A side that made her body tremble in delight at the mere mention of his name. "Illusion!" Tossing the card into the air she could help but smile as her magic let off a soft light pink light. "Hide Kero-chan and I from everybody in the city so we can fly without any worries! Let's go Kero-chan!"
Smiling in excitement, Kero folded his light golden wings about his body and transformed into the true being of the beast of the seal. The sun guardian Keroberos was indeed a magnificent animal even though most would think him to be scary. Sakura scratched behind his ears while giggling softly causing the immense creature to purr uncharacteristically. "You're the best Sakura-chan!"
Lifting off into the night sky, Sakura and Kero soared through the air twirling beneath the blanket of endless stars and the mere crescent of the moon. "You think so Kero-chan? Tell me… Do you think Yue-san likes me as a mistress?"
Kero stopped in mid air and tilted his head to the side curiously watching his mistress dance through the air like an angel or even a princess amidst her sparkling stars. "If he didn't Sakura-chan… Then I wouldn't understand him at all. But I'm sure he's learned to love you as much as I do."
Sakura paused and found her eyes peering hopefully into the silvery light of the moon. It was so much like him. It was him. What had Kero said? Love… That's it. She wanted him to love her. How long had it been? When they had met, they were complete strangers, and yet he'd been there all through her trials with the cards whether she had known it or not. The silent protector that found solace in knowing he was doing something not needing for anyone to notice him. This thought made her heart pang softly in her chest with it's every beat. He was never noticed. Though, he was noticed.
At the judgment where they had met, she had been so scared and yet so determined not to hurt him in any way. He had been so beautiful and so perfect. It seemed ludicrous to love him. Like an unattainable wish that would forever hang before her eyes never to be touched. It was sheer torture. He was truly the moon. "Are you ok Sakura-chan?"
Blinking in surprise, she spun about to gaze at the worried face of Keroberos. "I'm fine… Just thinking…"
"About Yue? Onnichan is a quiet person… He's scared to believe in feelings. He wants to be empty in hopes that he would never have to hurt again… Sakura-chan… if he seems distant… Please forgive him." Sakura looked at her guardian in shock unaccustomed to the serious tone he now put out.
"Always Kero-chan… I just wish I could make him see that I won't hurt him…"
"He's afraid of being left… He thinks that Clow abandoned him, and that everyone else will do the same… Sakura-chan… I believe that you could get through to him. You're special like that." The lion smiled lightly and flew to her in order to rub his head on her shoulder lightly. "Please don't be sad."
"Kero-chan… I wouldn't leave you or Yue-san. Ever… I promise you! And if I die… I'll look for you when I am reborn! I'll always find my way back to you two. And the cards…" Keroberos looked up at the smiling girl with green eyes in surprise. No one had ever displayed so much love for he and his brother before. Deep within warmth grew that finally reached his eyes and brought the truest of smiles to his face.
"I believe you Sakura-chan… And I know Yue will learn that soon enough." Sakura beamed down at him happily before twirling in mid air like a ballet dancer.
"Let's start from the beginning Kero-chan! This is a life we're going to live together. And as long as we're together, we won't have to be alone." With those words she wrapped her slender arms about Kero's neck and closed her eyes. "Kero-chan… could you tell Yue-san that I love him?"
Purring softly, Kero managed to nod his head to his mistress. No, Sakura was his best friend and she would always be there for him. That made her far more than any mistress. "I'll tell him… Sakura-chan…"
~ No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Not far from the duo, Yue sat upon the steeple on the roof of a church listening to the heartfelt exchange of words. Sparkling eyes of silver blue watched his mistress dance about gaily showing no signs of the melancholy he had been seeing nearly every day for the past month or so. She seemed so free and happy making even his cold heart feel warm. Never had he thought that the small girl watching him with sad emerald eyes that night at Tokyo Tower would be his mistress.
He had been so cold, so empty, and he didn't want to be thrust back into the world just to be hurt again. Clow had been the breaking point, and yet, she made him want to taste those feelings again. How? How could she worry so much about him? Not even Clow had displayed such affection. When Sakura told Kero she'd be with them always, his heart felt like it had grown ten times lighter than it had ever felt before. Now he had to wonder was that what he wanted?
Yes, more than anything else in the world. He had thought he'd lost everything. He thought he was destined to always be alone, and yet with the simple offer of friendship, Sakura had found her way into his heart. No longer was she the little ten-year-old that had become his mistress. She was his most important person and the most beautiful girl he'd ever laid eyes upon. No, the most beautiful woman. She was eighteen, and was no longer a girl in his eyes.
Closing his eyes, he continued to listen to her soft voice feeling his heart beating strongly within his chest. He knew it was wrong to listen in on other people's conversations, but he needed this desperately. Hope wasn't gone like he had always believed. Yue would have to remember to thank his fuzz ball of a little brother later for helping Sakura out so much and not putting him down. "Let's start from the beginning Kero-chan! This is a life we're going to live together. And as long as we're together, we won't have to be alone."
Never again would he be alone. "Oh Sakura-san…" Shaking his head, he couldn't believe what he was thinking and saying. So this was a new beginning and they would start it out together…
"Kero-chan… could you tell Yue-san that I love him?" Yue looked up sharply to look at the two with wide silver cat eyes unable to breathe any longer. Had he heard her correctly? Moving closer he felt himself trip and fall forward all the while cursing himself mentally.
Two gasps were heard as Yue shifted his wings and manage to get to his feet again. Oh great… they heard me… Looking up slowly, his eyes met with the endless pools of jade that were full of worry. Sakura had flown to him and was now kneeling before him with a hand out stretched toward him with an unsure air. Finally he blinked and forced himself to smile very lightly. Where his heart wanted to smile, he still wasn't used to showing it to anyone. "Gomen ne…"
Sakura smiled brightly and brushed a hand with feather lightness over his cheek. "It's ok Yue-san. I'm glad you're here. Are you ok?"
"I am…" With that said, Sakura threw her arms about his neck and held him tightly. Yue felt his heart rate speed up as he felt her nuzzle against his neck lightly enjoying the feel of his cool skin against her warm face. Wrapping his arms about her waist, he wondered if this was suppose to be more than friendship or if he was wrong again.
Behind Sakura, Kero couldn't help but smile madly. This was what Yue needed. He had known that his brother was listening, but he wanted him to hear what Sakura was saying. More than anyone else, Kero wanted Yue to be happy. Besides, he'd promised Clow that he'd make sure Yue would be happy one day. Sakura was right, it was time to start over, and it was time to start over together. Backing away quietly, the pair didn't even notice his departure from the scene.
Without thought, Yue slid one of his hands shakily through her long honey brown hair as he began to tremble. Everything just felt so unreal. Sakura pulled back slightly and smiled into his eyes while tilting her head. "You ok Yue-san? You're quivering…"
"I'm fine… I'm just…" Taking a deep breath he refused to let it out due to the fear of breaking down. He would not have all of his carefully placed walls shatter in a matter of moments. That wasn't going to happen.
"Just scared? Me too. You know we have close to forever to learn how to be happy. But I'd rather start that journey now, rather than wasting any more time." Smiling sweetly, Yue swore that the girl was far older than she was supposed to be. Maybe it was the magic, but whatever it was, it made her all the more attractive to him.
"You're right Sakura-sama…" The girl scrunched her nose in distaste before shaking a finger at the moon guardian in a playful manner.
"Must you make me sound so old and emotionless? Try calling me something like Sakura-chan? It's so much cuter and well… I wouldn't feel like you were putting a stone wall between us… That is… unless you really are." Sakura looked up at him with wide eyes expectantly for this would be the crucial point that decided which way her heart should go.
"Sakura-chan…" It was all he needed to say to her for everything else from that point had become perfectly clear. The girl smiled happily with a glow that he'd never seen before. Cautiously he reached out to caress her cheek but shied away as he almost made contact.
"Yue-san… It's ok… I won't hurt you… I promise." That one simple promise held more in it than anything he had heard before. Were he to believe her, then he'd go against everything he'd believed for hundreds of years, but suddenly, the solitude he had loved so much lost all of it's glamour.
"I know… Sakura-chan…" With that, his hand moved closer and hovered just above her cheek nervously until her hand covered his and pressed it to her warm cheek. His eyes widened a moment, as his body became tense not knowing what to do. "Aa… ano…"
Sakura laughed softly and reached out to tap his nose lightly. "I promise I don't bite. You can relax now…" Yue traced her lips with his timid eyes as she curled them into a loving smile. There were so many things he hadn't seen before, and she seemed to be showing it all to her now. Maybe, life was more livable as long as she was in it. "Yue-san…"
"Hai?" They fell silent a moment while their eyes locked. Both seemed so scared that the moment wasn't real, or that all of their hopes would shatter in an instant. What takes forever to make only takes a sheer second to shatter, and neither could handle that one more time.
Moving closer, Sakura could feel the cool energy of the moon pouring off of him with his every breath only making her heart beat faster. Biting her lower lip, her eyes quickly scanned his face desperate to find some sort of clue on to what he was feeling, but all she saw was a cool smooth countenance betraying no feeling what so ever. Sighing, she gazed into his eyes second-guessing her decision on telling him how she felt until she saw the nervous adoration in his eyes she had never seen before. Taking a deep breath, she knew it was time to tell him and risk her heart one more time. "Yue-san… I… I… I love you…"
Yue couldn't believe his ears. The more surprising thing was the crumbling of his cold façade leaving only a look of complete shock and excitement on his pale face. "Honto ni, Sakura-chan?"
"Hai… With all my heart… Please… be honest with me… tell me what you feel." Worry swept over her face not knowing what to make out of the expression on her precious guardian's face. It had taken her forever to get here, the long journey that started the day she opened the Clow book then met the judge, her Yue.
"Sakura-chan… I… love you too… You'll never leave me?" A lost look filled his eyes that slowly made her heart crumble beneath his gaze.
How could he ask such a thing? Who would leave such a precious angel? "I'd never… I'll always find my way to you Yue… always." Smiling warmly, she felt him slowly move toward her and rest his head on her shoulder. His form went limp as if he just lost the heaviest weight in the world that he alone was sentenced to carry. One of her small hands ran through his silvery white hair softly as she leaned her head against his. He wasn't crying, and he wasn't shaking; all he was doing was letting go of the pain he'd clung to since he found out that he had a heart.
"Thank you… Sakura-chan…" The girl only smiled more as she wrapped her arms about him gently holding him close. No one would hurt him ever again. She would protect him, and she would love him for all her life.
~ Life is a road, and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
At the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you
Sakura smiled brightly as she sleepily opened her eyes to the sun's first light. She never knew she could be this happy with such a responsibility. But this particular responsibility was gladly taken as if it were the greatest gift given to any individual. Throwing her covers back, she happily sat up and hopped out of her bed. No sleeping in for her anymore, because she now had a reason to get up for every morning.
Rummaging in her closet, she heard the sleepy voice of Kero behind her muttering out words in a slow fashion. "Sakura-chan? You're up already?"
The girl giggled and spun about hugging her outfit for the day close to her. "Hai! I had a wonderful evening last night! Thanks Kero-chan!" Dropping the clothes on her bed, she spun about and grabbed him out of the air in order to hug him to her. Spinning about, she finally stopped and kissed the little yellow guardian on the top of the head.
As she set him down on the desk, Kero found himself now wide-awake. It was already strange to see the girl up before him, but even more so that she had just kissed him. She'd never done that before. "Care to tell me why you are so happy and what happened after I went home?"
The teen giggled and pulled on a deep green turtle neck that matched her vibrant jade eyes. "Yue-san loves me!"
Kero's eyes went wide at her words and he anxiously cut her off. "Yue-san didn't try anything on you did he?!?!"
Pausing in mid rant, Sakura looked at Kero with a blank look. "Hoe? What do you mean? We just hugged and talked…" Watching the little toy sigh in relief, she only felt that much more confused.
"Onnichan better respect you or I'll have to beat him up." Kero nodded emphatically with a cross look before shaking a paw at Sakura. "From now on I have to be there to chaperone you two!"
"Kero-chan… you're got to be joking." Giggling lightly, she continued to put on a pair of black khaki flares and a pair of socks. Skipping out of the room, Kero flew after her ranting about the necessity of being a 'good girl' until she was old enough to understand.
Walking into the kitchen, Touya looked up in time to catch the end of Kero's lecture and frown angrily. "Nani? Do you have a boyfriend Kaijuu?" At this, Sakura was left to stand in the doorway as Kero and Touya began to rant again on the topic of 'no one is good enough for my mistress/kaijuu, not even my onnichan/that angel boy.'
Sakura began to giggle again at the sight. As protective as they were over her, she loved them very deeply. Ignoring their ranting, she waved and called over her shoulder as she walked out of the front door. "Bye Onnichan! Kero-chan! I'm going to see Tomoyo-chan, so I'll get breakfast later."
In unison, the two waved a fist and called out to her retreating form. "Hey! Sakura/Kaijuu! I'm not finished talking yet!"
As she reached the point where their voices no longer reached her, she began to skip every now in then. She felt light and airy, like nothing in the world could go wrong, until she saw something completely unexpected. "Eriol-san… Why are you running from me?"
"Daidouji-san… I think it's better if you just move on without me. Please…" Sakura blinked as her gaze fell upon Tomoyo whose face was full of sadness and longing as she stared up at the tall dark haired teen with wire frame glasses. At first, Sakura wanted to march up to Eriol and knock some sense into him, but his appearance stopped her. Dark rings encircled his normally sparkling indigo eyes and his already pale skin was whiter than snow. Eriol was barely even a wraith of what he once was.
Closing her eyes a moment, all she could do was listen, for she was too confused to do anything else. "Eriol-san… I… I don't want to go on without you. Whatever it is that you're going through please let me help…"
"No Daidouji-san… That won't happen. Please try to understand. Forgive me." With those words, he pulled his arm from her grasp and slipped away with a tired gait. Sakura winced when she saw a few solitary tears spill down her best friend's cheeks.
Standing there unmoving, Tomoyo simply folded her hands in front of her and bowed her head. Long locks of smoke gray hair fell forward in order to shadow her face. Sakura sighed softly then stepped forward in order to place a hand gently on her friend's shoulder. "You saw… Didn't you Sakura-chan…" Tomoyo let out a soft whimper that was barely heard before raising a hand to wipe away the tears. "Am… I not good enough… for him? Did… I do something wrong?"
Shaking her head vehemently, Sakura wished her friends wouldn't think such horrible things. "Not at all Tomoyo-chan… He's just going through some rough times… He'll snap out of it…"
"I… do hope… so…" Taking one last swipe at her tears, the girl rose her dull violet eyes to meet Sakura's. "Please… I don't want to think about it anymore." A small smile crossed her face as she closed her eyes in an attempt to hide her sadness. "Tell me how you are Sakura-chan. You have a certain glow about you that you didn't have the other day at school…"
Instantly the brunette began to blush as her thoughts reverted back to her evening with the moon guardian that she had given her heart to. "Are you sure it's good to talk about such a thing right now?" Tomoyo nodded sagely and smiled even more. "All right… I just hope that I can be of some help to you."
With that, the two girls started their walk towards the shopping district as Sakura began her long story about the night before. Not even a block away, a pair of hazelnut brown eyes were staring at the slender teen occasionally glinting a silver blue color. Yukito smiled softly and blinked when he realized that Yue was watching the young Kinomoto with a new interest that he hadn't noticed before. If I didn't know better Yue-san… I'd say you liked her… You really shouldn't keep secrets from me…
What fun would it be if I were to tell you everything Tsukishiro? Besides, you're on a date… Pay more attention. Jumping in slight surprise, Yukito looked to the girl beside him to see her smiling brightly at the two younger girls walking away. Her gold eyes danced in delight as she thought of something unknown to him. Finally looking up at him, Sidereal brushed her light sapphire hair from her eyes and giggled. "You can tell she's in love. It's rather cute."
Nodding in agreement, Yukito found his eyes once more resting on her disappearing form. "I would think so. It's about time…"
"Yes… it is…" Sidereal smiled lightly and looked up at Yukito's profile with sparkling eyes. Yue finally let go and she was happy for him. I can't wait to tell Even-san…
~ We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how are dreams could come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
"It's really amazing… You and Yue-san are so perfect for each other! Two perfect strangers that were destined to be together! I envy you." Tomoyo smiled brightly as her eyes began to sparkle. Sakura always knew that her friend always got a kick out of the good things in her life. She just wished that Eriol would come back to his senses for poor Tomoyo.
"It never really dawned on me till recently just how much I loved him Tomoyo-chan… Now I would do anything just to be with him. I want to protect him and make him happy…" The dark haired girl smiled happily and nodded her head in response.
"That's natural Sakura-chan. At least now you know you won't have to face close to an eternity alone. Isn't that what you had always feared? I knew things would work out for you. All of those times he's tried so hard to catch you when you fell… I knew it was only a matter of time…" Sakura blinked in amazement at her best friend before finally smiling.
"You know… I don't know how it happened, I'm just glad it did. And you're right. I was scared to live for so long alone. But now, I have something to move on for. Something to live for. Before I thought my longevity was a curse… now… it's actually something I look forward to." Brushing stray strands of honey brown from her eyes, Sakura could feel her heart growing even warmer. "Tomoyo-chan… He'll come back to you… and you two will live happily again…"
"I don't know Sakura-chan… It's all too complicating for me… I miss him so much. I never thought I'd miss anyone like I miss him." Collapsing into Sakura's waiting arms she began to cry very softly letting out all of the pain that she held onto deep inside.
Rocking her form lightly, Sakura wished that she could ease the pain. But only one person could do that. Just outside of the window, a set of bright violet stared steadily at the pair. Pushing the ebony bangs from his eyes, he felt a pang in his heart that spoke of guilt. Guilt that could be pinned on him for the tears that Daidouji Tomoyo now shed. Closing his eyes, he leaned his body against the trunk of the tree.
"I never wanted this… I only wanted to make him realize how much pain he caused for everyone else… Maybe… I was wrong to do things this way… Emotional pain runs far deeper than any physical pain. Isn't that why I chose this route?"
Even shook his head sadly and dropped his head against the tree with a soft thud. On his shoulder, Crinis watched him sadly wishing that she could do or say something that would be helpful. "Even-sama… You have the right idea. Should you kill Eriol-san… You would only cause tears for Daidouji-san anyway. You are right to do this. It's true that you hadn't intended for this in particular to happen, but the future is not something that can be seen clearly…"
Even opened his eyes in order to look at the tiny guardian with a small smile. Whether her advice was perfect or not, he always knew he could count on her to help him. Reaching up a hand, he scratched behind her ears and chuckled lightly when she began to purr and twitch her tail. "You're right Crinis-chan… If nothing else… All of my other plans are working out. Yue now loves Sakura… Ruby is calming down and finally catching the heart of Touya… and Sidereal has learned to love as well. Now… I have to make amends for the evil I have done."
"You are truly too kind master… Eriol-san is lucky that you are such a gentleman. You are stopping early for Daidouji-san aren't you?" Even nodded slowly in reply causing the cat to flex her wings in thought. "You still haven't told me how you plan to end it…"
"All in due time Crinis-chan… All in due time. For now, I just want to make sure that Yue and Sakura will be all right. I do like seeing them so happy." With this thought, he turned to leave with a small smile on his face. "All I want are for the people I care about to be happy…"
~ I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's going to tear us apart
A soft tapping on the window brought Sakura into a state of being fully awake. Turning her head swiftly to the pane of glass, her eyes met with a welcomed sight. Springing out of bed she ran to the window and opened it quietly. "Yue-san!" The loud whisper erupted from her being as she threw herself into his arms and out of the window.
The moon guardian smiled softly at the sight and held her close to him. He loved the way she felt so near to him. He loved her. Looking down into her sparkling eyes of emerald, he felt everything else melt away leaving only them holding on to each other. "Good evening, Sakura-chan. How was your day?"
Slowly he lifted them both to the roof and landed gracefully while waiting for her eager response. "It was really great! It's the best day I've ever had, and you know what?!? You just made it even better." With a bright smile she found herself nervously shoving her long hair behind her ears. "Though… I'm worried about Tomoyo-chan…"
"Is something the matter?" A look of worry touched his face as he watched her smile fade away and be replaced with a look of sadness. More than anything, he never wanted to see her frown or be sad, not if he could help it.
"It's just Eriol-san. He's been so strange lately and he broke up with her. I hadn't thought he could do such a thing…" Sadly, she let out a sigh and clasped her hands together while resting them against her chin. "I wish there was something I could do…"
Yue shook his head slightly and reached out to take her hands in his then catch her eyes with his. "Sakura-chan… Don't worry about it so much right now… Tomorrow, you could just talk to him and see what is wrong. If you like I'll go with you." At his words, her green eyes lit up in happiness causing the uneasiness in his heart to melt away. "It'll all be all right Sakura-chan."
"Yue-san…" Pulling one of her hands away from his gently, she placed it on his cheek and soon used its fingers to trace the contours of his face. "I would really like that. I wish we could stay together always… Is that silly of me?"
Shaking his head only slightly, he bent down closer to her and rested his forehead against hers. "No… I wish for the same. I love you, Sakura-chan. Please don't forget that."
"I love you, too, Yue-san." Laughing softly, she slipped her fingers down his jaw line, then moved them upward to touch his lips very lightly. Amusement filled her eyes as his cheeks unbidden, turned a light shade of red. Pulling them away, she delighted in receiving a near gasp in disappointment. "Can… I ask you a favor?"
Mutely, the moon angel gave a nod as he peered at her curiously not knowing what to expect. She'd never asked him for anything before, and the fact that she was now intrigued him. "Anything."
"Kiss me?" At the soft question, Yue felt the heat race into his cheeks. A kiss? He'd never been kissed before, much less kissed anyone else. Taking a deep breath, he knew he wanted to, but he was afraid that he would scare her away.
Waiting patiently, Sakura began to wonder if she was asking for too much too soon. As she was about to tell him to forget about it, Yue looked at her nervously and spoke in a soft voice. "Sakura-chan… I've never… I don't… I will… But please… Don't be too disappointed."
At this, Sakura laughed lightly and brushed her hands over his cheeks softly. "I'm just asking for a kiss Yue-san… not the world. You could never disappoint me. If you feel uncomfortable…" Suddenly, Yue placed a cool slender finger over her lips and smirked lightly.
"Shh… Mistress you truly like to talk don't you?" Sakura felt her cheeks turn red as he slowly closed the gap between them. The closer he got the more his very scent intoxicated her and made her heart flutter in her chest. His warm breath running over her face was enough to drive her mad if he didn't kiss her soon. "Don't get me wrong… I love you just the way you are."
At those words, she could bear it no longer and leaned forward to close the gap. At first, both were timid and shyly exchanged a chaste kiss, but after parting, they knew it wasn't enough. Smiling broadly, Sakura loved the kind look that he now had whenever he gazed at her, and what made it all the better was knowing that he was now hers. Leaning into him again, their lips met and they took it a level higher than before. It seemed as though the two had melted into one, as they explored the beginnings of their newfound love. It had taken so long to get to this moment, and nothing was going to take it away from them.
~ And life is a road, and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep going on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
In the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you
TBC…
And thus… we move back into the plot… I hope that wasn't too mushy. O.o;;
