A Fighter's Spirit
Disclaimers: I don't own Cardcaptors.
Author's note: Okay Yue might be OOC in this one but I just had to do it. I've always wanted a sappy Yue.
Part 8
Yue couldn't look Sakura in the eyes, he felt too ashamed of himself. 'How could I just push myself on her like that. She'll probably never want anything to do with me again.'
"Yue? Yue, please look at me." Sakura encouraged. Yue lifted his eyes to hers, expecting anger or loathing but instead got a confused yet compassionate look.
"I guess that is what a kiss is, huh?" Yue nodded his head, face still flaming. "It was nice. I liked it."
Yue stared in shock as Sakura got up and left, picnic basket in hand. "Don't forget to bring in the blanket." she called over her shoulder.
Yue heard laughter behind him and turned to see his brother leaning against a tree, a smile on his face. He stood up quickly and brushed imaginary dirt off his clothes before picking up the blanket and shaking it then folding it.
Yuki couldn't help but grin at his brother's embarrassment. Looks like Sakura could handle her own when it came to Yue, but he was going to make sure just in case.
"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Yue asked, turning his coldest glare on Yuki.
Yuki's smile just got wider, "Now why would I leave when taunting you is so much better."
"Wait til tomorrow. I'll kick your butt at practice." Yue mumbled, heading into the house with Yuki following closely behind.
"You haven't beaten me since the day I was sick with the flu and you got a lucky shot." Yuki said.
"I still beat you though." Yue said, going into the kitchen and seeing that Sakura already had a group of admirers around her so sitting next to her would not be a possibility.
"Aww not able to sit next to the cherry blossom huh?" Yuki taunted, then rushed off to help Helen before Yue's punch could connect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The days passed by into weeks, Sakura and the children getting along great and Yue trying hard to get more alone time with her but the kids were always surrounding her and when Yue would show up sang the love birds song.
One day, Sakura was about to go down to the kitchens for a snack when a small sniff from the room next to her drew her attention. Peaking in, she saw little Daniel lying face down on his bed crying and Tomoyo sitting across from him with a sad look on her face. Slipping into the room, Sakura sat on the edge of the bed and began rubbing Daniels back, startling him.
"Who-" he started, lifting tear stained brown eyes to see Sakura.
"Hey there." she said in a soft voice.
"Sakura." Daniel quickly sat up and rubbed at his eyes.
"What's the matter? Do you want to talk about it?" Daniel shook his head and was quiet.
"He misses his mommy and daddy." Tomoyo said from across the room.
"Tomo-chan you promised." Daniel said, looking at the girl in shock.
"She can help you, right Sakura?" Tomoyo asked, turning stricken brown eyes at her.
"I'll try. Daniel come here." Sakura let Daniel crawl into her lap and wrapped her arms around him. "What happened to your mommy and daddy?"
"Th-they went to see my sick aunt up in the mountains while I was staying here at Clow's a few years ago. After a couple weeks some guys came and said that there had been an avalanche and my mommy, daddy, and aunt had died." Daniel said, fresh tears falling silently down his face.
"Oh Daniel, I never knew." Sakura held the small body tighter, petting his head and rubbing his back in slow soothing circles.
"Since then I've been here." he ended, sniffing into her shirt.
"Well, I might not be able to replace your mom and dad, but I've never had a little brother before."
Daniel looked up into sad but sincere green and realized what she was asking. Brown eyes widened in happiness, "Do you really mean it? But how do I become your little brother?"
"There's this trick I learned when my father didn't see me watching the other students." Sakura spit in her hand and held it out.
"Eww." Tomoyo said, but still looked on in fascination.
"Now you do the same."
Daniel spit in his hand and waited for more directions, Sakura saw the wistful look on Tomoyo's face.
"You know, I've always wanted a little sister too."
Tomoyo jumped off the bed and was bouncing up and down, "Can I be your little sister?"
"Of course, but you gotta spit in your hand too." Sakura said, Tomoyo screwed her face up but did it anyway.
"Now we all shake hands. Here," Sakura shook Daniels hand first, then Tomoyo. With looks of understanding they both shook hands.
"Now we're family. If you guys ever need me, day or night I'll always be there for you."
Tomoyo ran into Sakura's arms and the three shared a hug.

Okay I'll end it right there since not too many people reviewed the last chap so I'm wondering if this story isn't getting as interesting as it should be.
