Chapter sixteen: A strange Prince charming.
Sakura looked nervously around the University Auditorium, today was the dress rehearsal Sakura had butterflies because she knew she would final get to meet the man who wrote the play and would be playing the Prince.
Sakura stepped out on stage then came the line she had nervously being awaiting
"I knew this would happen. Everyone ends up with a partner except me. I'm always alone. So much for my so-called guardian."
Suddenly long strong fingers touched her shoulder, Sakura span round to come face to face with Yukito, who smiled at her Sakura's first and instent thought was. 'Yukito is my author my prince! But why?'
The rehearsal went flawlessly, when it was over and there was only Yukito and Sakura left in the auditorium, they turned and looked at each other. Sakura spoke first
"You are the one who wrote this play?"
"Yes with a little help." Said Yukito tapping his head
"Why?"
"For you, it is a gift from the two of us, too you."
"Oh thank you. Can I talk to Yue-san at some point tonight Yukito-san?"
"Yes of course you can, we'll stop in the park on the way back and I'll change there."
"Ok I'll phone Otou-san and tell him that I'm going over to yours for tea if that is alright with you?"
"That's fine by me and I'm shore my grandparents will be glad to have you and I can transform into Yue in my room in complete safety."
Sakura drew out her mobile phone and phoned her father.
"Otou-san, Yukito-san has invited me home with him for tea so we can go over our lines for the play together, may I go or would you rather I come strait home?"
Yukito made a silent prayer and Yue smiled at him mischievously. Sakura smiled at the answer she received.
"Thank you Otou-san see you later."
Sakura put her phone back in her bag and smiled at Yukito.
"Well Yukito-san it looks like I'm all yours till Onii-chan comes to pick me up at seven."
"Good that will be nice, you have never been to my home before."
Yukito stood and smiling and offered her his hand, Sakura stood taking it.
"You lead I'll follow."
They let go of each of each other's hands blushing.
Yukito walked her to his home, they entered the house and took off there shoes, Yukito then put on his house slippers and lead Sakura into the living room were two quiet old people sat, they look up at Yukito and smile they then look at Sakura enquiringly. Yukito smiled at them
"Grandmother and Grandfather this is Sakura-chan, she has come over for tea we are in the play together and are going to practice our lines together Touya will be picking her up at seven I hope you don't mind."
Sakura bowed politely to them, Yukito's grandmother smiled at her gently and spoke to Sakura in a soft tone of voice.
"Of course we don't mind having her till then. Are you Yukito's girlfriend?"
"Eh no just a friend."
"That's a shame you look like a nice girl."
Sakura blushed at the comments and looked at the floor, Yukito's grandmother noticed this reaction, she said nothing but smiled at Sakura understandingly.
Yukito turned to Sakura now silence had fallen over them.
"I'll just go into the kitchen and make myself some sandwiches and then we will go up to my room."
Without another word Yukito's grandfather went into the kitchen and came out with a plate: sandwiches were piled high on it.
"I made you some already, I had a funny feeling you would be hungry after rehearsals today."
Yukito took the plate from his grandfather and smiled at him.
"Thank you. Well lets head up to my room then Sakura-chan."
"Yes lets."
They did so, when Yukito opened the door to his room and let Sakura enter first, she walked in and her eyes went wide. Yukito's room had walls painted with various scenes, Yue and Sakura at the final judgment, a white castle with silver turrets, Yue asleep in a shrine of some sort, Sakura in a ball gown with wings, Yue with Yukito and Sakura in front of him the two of them with an arm round each other smiling, Yue with a hand on each of there shoulders smiling slightly. Sakura asleep in a turret room, Kero, Tomoyo, Touya, Miss Mitsuki, Meiling, Spinal Sun, Eriol and even Shaolan. Yue kneeling to Sakura his hair flying out behind him completely free with something in his hand that Sakura couldn't quite make out, then the last picture on the walls Sakura could see is Yue a sword by his side a crown on his head in front of the castle of silver and white holding his winged moon symbol, with a star, in the normaly empty part of his symbole.
Sakura looked up and painted on the ceiling was a crescent moon and stars one of the stars was in-between the two points of the moon making the same symbol as the pendant Yue had given to Sakura. The bed was a large double one with purple sheets lined with a silver border and a crescent moon and stars embroidered on it, the under sheet which had carefully been folded over the top of the quilt was white. There were four pillows on the bed in all two on each side the under one again just white but the one on top was the same purple as the quilt and had Yue's winged moon symbol embroidered on them again in silver.
Sakura sat on the bed in silence and looked at Yukito in awe, he smiled at her
"Grandmother and grandfather think that Yue is an invention of mine, a character. They know that the other people in my paintings are my friends including you."
Sakura smiled at Yukito's honesty
"The paintings are beautiful."
Yukito blushed at Sakura's heartfelt compliment.
"Thank you I worked hard on them."
"You painted these, but how do you remember the final judgment?"
"Yue dreams you know?"
"He dreams about me?"
"Yes and so do I. I was told by Eriol-kun that some of Yue's dreams are prophetic so I put some of them in the play other things that are in the play are my invention but its hard, to tell which is which, you see."
Yukito sat down on the bed next to Sakura and ate his sandwiches in silence. When he was finished, Yukito put his plate on the bedside table then he looked at Sakura and smiled. Yukito lay down on the bed and closed his eyes and Yue's wings came out and enfolded him and Yue appeared: he opens his eyes and looks at Sakura.
"I hear that you wish to talk to me Sakura-chan?"
"Yes. I was speaking to Kero-chan earlier and he tells me that it's your birthday tomorrow."
Yue looked at Sakura confused
"Yes it is what of it?"
"Well Yue-san I was wondering if you wanted to come out with me after dark and celebrate, just me I promise."
"Well I don't normally bother but.if its only you then yes I'd love to."
Sakura smiled at Yue and suddenly hugged him Yue sat there for a moment stunned then hugged her back tightly.
"I'll leave my bedroom window open for you to come in through tomorrow night will that be alright?"
"Yes that will be fine. What time do you want me to come to you?"
"Will ten thirty be alright?"
Yue nodded Sakura smiled at him and then gently kissed Yue on the cheek, Yue blushed and put his hand on his cheek, he then turned and smiled at Sakura.
"Well I should let Yukito in so the two of you can rehearse."
Sakura nodded and Yue disappeared and Yukito surfaced.
"How did your chat with Yue go?"
"Oh very well thank you Yukito-san, shall we practice?"
Yukito nodded at Sakura who smiled at him gently, his devotion to this play was amazing. The two of them stood and began to rehearse together.
Sakura looked nervously around the University Auditorium, today was the dress rehearsal Sakura had butterflies because she knew she would final get to meet the man who wrote the play and would be playing the Prince.
