Thank you thank you thank you to all those who have read and reviewed my Fanfic!!!
========== Chapter 4: Yue's Gone==========
==Sakura's POV== "Where are they?" I demanded desperately again, as Eriol-kun and Yukito-san just shook their heads at me. I closed my eyes and tried to trace Yue-san's and Kero-chan's auras. To my relief, I could sense a little of Kero-chan's aura, though barely, next door in Touya's room. Then I focused on searching for Yue's. NO! NO! NO! This can't be true!!! I can't sense him at all!! Where, where is Yue?
Yet deep down, I could guess what happened. The two flows of aura entering my body, and helping me to regain my strength were Yue's and Kero's. Kero- chan's aura is so weak, it must be because he gave his energy to me. But what about Yue? Why is he missing? Did he......
I opened my eyes and glared with tears in my eyes at Eriol, not wanting to believe the worst, but fearing so. "Eriol-kun, please, please tell me what happened to Yue-san! WHY CAN'T I SENSE HIS AURA???"
"Sakura, please calm down first." Eriol-kun tried to soothe my apparently frazzled nerves. He explained about why the division spell has gone wrong, and apologizing profusely at this. Then he told me about the transference of powers to help me recover. Kero-chan is alright, though rather weak now, because his symbol was the Sun, and he's able to absorb some energy back right after the transfer. I continued listening to Eriol-kun's explanation, saying that the transference has not gone well for Yue-san because he over- exerted himself in the process and gave up ALL his powers. And a magical being without any powers cannot exist, unless he can take on a false form. Unfortunately, since Yukito-san, his former false form, is split from Yue- san, there isn't a false form for Yue to transform into. At that, I paled visibly. I was right. It's because of me that Yue-san has disappeared.
Tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes, fell freely now. I clenched my fists so hard that my nails dug into my skin, tearing it and causing small rivets of blood to flow. Good, I like pain, I DESERVE pain. I could vaguely hear concerned voices calling my name, but I couldn't be bothered to reply. I was dazed at the knowledge that Yue is GONE. That I will never see him again. NEVER? I started to laugh hysterically, while crying at the same time.
A kind hand gripped my shoulder. But again, I didn't bother with it. NOTHING else matters anymore. Nothing. I felt such immense pain and despair in my heart that it's tearing my insides, that I simply feel like dying. Then someone drew me into his embrace. I numbly let it be. I don't care who it is. I had stop laughing like a manic, and was just sobbing my heart out now. My hands involuntarily came up to hug the person comforting me, arms around his waist.
====End of Sakura's POV====
When Sakura has started crying, then laughing hysterically, Yukito and Eriol knew that she's blaming herself for Yue, and feeling such despair that she doesn't know what to do. This was the first time Yukito and Eriol have seen her so upset, and they felt helpless. Then Yukito saw Sakura's hands clenching so hard that blood flowed from them, and he put a hand on Sakura, wanting to console her. But Sakura seemed to be in a world of her own, not hearing or seeing them anymore. The look on Sakura's face was heart-wrenching. Eriol whispered to Yukito, "Take care of her, I need to find a way to bring Yue back...and when she calms down, tell her that I'll be trying my best to bring Yue back no matter what. I'll be bringing Kero- chan with me back home for a while, Spinel can take care of him. You just focus on taking care of Sakura-chan?" Yukito nodded, and blinked as Eriol did his disappearing act again.
Yukito took Sakura into his arms, and heard her sobbing against his chest. Her arms went around his waist as she hugged him. Yukito rested his chin lightly on Sakura's head of auburn hair, and murmured soothingly as his hugged her back in a warm and tight embrace. After half an hour, Sakura's cries gradually died down to sniffles. She raised her head up and look into Yukito's eyes with her own red and puffy ones. "Yukito-san, arigatou...." She whispered brokenly.
"Sakura-chan, you don't need to thank me for anything. I'm happy that you allow me to console you. Eriol-kun has taken Kero-chan to his home, so that Spinel can take care of him. Eriol-kun also asked me to tell you that he WILL find a way to bring Yue-san back, no matter what. So please, please don't be sad." Yukito stroked Sakura's hair with tenderness while he's talking.
Sakura nodded, and hope gathering within the depths of her emerald-green eyes. She smiled tentatively, as if it takes some effort to do that. "I guess, I guess I have to trust Eriol-kun then."
Yukito sighed silently in relief, glad that Sakura seems to feel better. He stood up and was about to suggest some supper when he noticed Sakura's bleeding hands again. "Sakura-chan! Your hands are bleeding! Let me get the first aid box!" Then he rushed to the bathroom at the speed of wind.
Sakura was glazing dazedly into the air when Yukito came back into the room. She had a lost and faraway look in her eyes, and an obvious expression of sadness in her face. Yukito felt his heart clenched, and he hurried over to Sakura. "Sakura-chan?" He called softly. Sakura snapped back into reality and looked at Yukito-san. She tried to smile bravely, but it was forced. "Yukito-san. Dai-jou-bu, don't worry." Yukito frowned a little, but kept quiet. He took Sakura's hands and proceeds with the cleaning and applying of medical lotion. He felt Sakura's hands stiffened at the sting of the antiseptic lotion. "Sakura-chan? Is it painful?"
"Dai..Daijoubu!" Again, Sakura tried to put Yukito's mind at ease by trying to be brave. Yukito blew softly and gently onto Sakura's injured hands, hoping to ease some of the sting. Sakura's eyes widened and she blushed. Yukito-san's breath feels so warm and....nice. She smiled dreamily. Yukito looked up from Sakura's hands and saw her smiling dreamily. It was a genuine smile. He was glad, even though he had no idea why she's smiling like that. He leaned forward and brushed his lips lightly on her cheek, intending it to be a friendly kiss. She blushed even more furiously. Shifting her eyes around, they finally landed on Yukito's. She gazed deeply into his amber eyes, feeling her body fill with a warm sensation that spread to her bones. She tilted ahead to return Yukito's kiss with one of her own, on his cheek.
Yukito was surprised to see Sakura moving her lips close to his face, and stumbled. His sudden movement caused Sakura's lips to land on his lips instead of his cheek. Sakura had closed her eyes when she was aiming a kiss on Yukito's cheeks, but felt the softness of his lips and her eyes popped open. Yukito was looking deep into her eyes, and something clouded over his eyes.
====Yukito's POV===== Oh my GOD! Is Sakura-chan going to kiss me back? I know kisses among friends are normal, just to express being affectionate towards someone. But why is my heart thundering? I stumbled as her eyes closed and rosy lips came closer to mine. I closed my eyes but opened them quickly when I felt her kiss my lips. My heart stilled for what seems like an eternity, before I looked deep into her beautiful green eyes. I was captivated. She's stunning. I was drawn to her like a magnet. My arms wrapped around her and I deepened the kiss between us. It was electrifying. I never knew kisses could be.....this soul-shattering experience, but then again, I have never kissed anyone on the lips before. I hadn't the urge to do it ever, and I didn't know that the urge to kiss Sakura has been growing within the two years that she's blossoming before my eyes. From a small, cute and adorable cherry blossom, to a stunning Sakura that puts the most beautiful and colorful flower to shame. Strangely, the emptiness that I always felt disappeared. The emptiness that To-ya had filled a little, and I had tried to fill in the rest with food is miraculously gone with this one kiss, this earth-shaking kiss with MY Sakura. Is this....LOVE?
My arms tightened around Sakura's waist, neither of us breaking this wondrous kiss between us. I felt her respond at first with shock, then shyness, and now, passion that meets mine. Her sweet mouth parted and all thoughts flew out of my mind, those thoughts that had told me not to imagine things, that I am too old for Sakura, and that she'll definitely find someone better, simply dissipated. I took the chance to slip my tongue into her mouth, and felt her gasp in pleasure and shock. Then our tongues tangled together in a joyful dance of love, and she moaned into my mouth.
I was consumed with love and desire. She smells so good, just like her name, the cherry blossom scent filling my senses and making me slightly light-headed. I didn't ever want this kiss to stop. I never want to let go of her.
======End of Yukito's POV========
Sakura was shocked when Yukito-san deepened the kiss, but was soon kissing back with the same wild abandon that he was exhibiting. As she felt Yukito- san's arms tightened around her body, she wanted to sink deeper into the kiss than it was physically possible. To her, it's a dream come true. She never imagined Yukito-san to return her feelings, as he had so gently but firmly rejected her three years ago when she confessed her love for him. She was in heaven. As Yukito's tongue caressed hers, her hands went up to tangle themselves in his soft smooth grayish-silver hair, so much like.....Yue's. Sakura suddenly thought of Yue and she broke the kiss. Feelings of confusion came over her. There was guilt, for Yue's whereabouts is currently unknown and yet she's enjoying herself. Yet, besides guilt, there was something else she's feeling.....as if she's....she's betraying Yue by kissing Yukito-san???
Yukito was surprised to feel Sakura's lips leaving his. He looked at Sakura's face attentively and saw an expression of guilt. "Sakura?" He murmured huskily, still feelings the aftershocks of the amazing kiss they just shared. Sakura turned her face away and blushed a vivid red. Yukito thought that he had mistaken the expression on Sakura, and hugged her to him. "Sakura, I think I'm in love with you."
To his amazement, Sakura went still in his arms and then sobbed brokenly. "Sakura? Why are you crying? Are you.....are you offended by the kiss and my....confession?" Yukito was confused by Sakura's behavior. From the way Sakura had responded to his kiss, he had deduced that Sakura returned his feelings. Was he WRONG?
=======to be continued==========
A/N: Sorry if there's too much fluff in this chapter, but I just couldn't resist it!!! Didn't you ever wished that Sakura and Yukito will KISS? Well, I did. So I MADE them do it!!!

Hmmm....poor Yue...I'll BRING YOU BACK in the next chapter!!! Oh, and please, pretty please REVIEW!!! Thanks!
Sakura: Hoeee! YOU made me kiss Yukito-san??? No wonder! I thought it's a bit strange how I was so forward and daring...
Authoress: Ha! As if you DIDN'T WANT TO. I was just fulfilling your wish too you know?
*Sakura Blushes, not denying her desire to kiss Yukito-san*
*Yukito-san just smiles and looks tenderly at Sakura-chan*
Kero-chan: WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS HUH???? Putting me in the care of that weird Eriol and loony-bin Ruby Moon!!! Spinel Sun's alright but he's too uptight. IT'S GONNA BE BORING THERE!!! And I missed all the action between Yukito and Sakura!!!!
Authoress: Kero-chan, I could have just made you DISAPPEAR like Yue you know. Only thing is, I probably WOULD NOT have brought you back. *Evil Smile*
Kero-chan gulped, and looked fearfully at me. "Er..I think it's time for my dinner...ja ne!!!" And he flew off as quickly as he can.
P/S: Did you notice that Yukito has started calling Sakura 'Sakura' instead of 'Sakura-chan' after the kiss? Heh heh heh...
A/N: Yaaaaaaaaaaa, from the title, this chapter will not involve Yue, cuz he's gone!! Where did he go? Will he be back? Of COURSE! If I don't bring him back Sakura will be miserable, and ME too! (Did I say I'm a fan of Yue? Hehehe).
