Chapter 1
Tears of Lost Loves
Sakura wakes up slowly as a bright light glowed from under her eyelids. She woke up slowly and sighed.
Suddenly the whole dream rushed back to her and she gasped in wonder. ~Was it real? Was the longing in his eyes real?~ she thought with sadness in her heart. ~The last time I felt a chill from a look like that was when Sayoran was still alive...~ She shied away from that thought as tears prickled in her eyes. Slowly she got up and dressed in her normal cute get up. A pink sweater that had white wings embroidered on the back, and a pair of baggy white cargo pants with lots of zippers completed the out fit.
She sighed heavily and walked to the dresser to look inside. The glutton named Kero lay asleep and bloated from whatever he had eaten last night. ~How will I live with you? Pig...~ she thought with a adoring expression on her face. She picked up the lazy guardian and poked him gently with a finger to wake him up.
"Kero? Kero? You need to wake up so that we can eat breakfast..." she said as she poked. The second she said the key word 'breakfast' the little guardian sprang awake.
"WHERE?!? Foooooooood!" he said happily as Sakura went downstairs to get him something to eat.
"Little glutton..." she murmered affionately as she grabbed some rice with eggs for both of them.
Kero tackled his breakfast with the usual enthusiasm and didn't notice the glum expression on his friends face untill he finally slowed down. "Whats wrong Sakura?" he said,"Still having bad dreams?" She shook her head and sighed.
"Not really bad dreams, just dreams that linger and confuse me..." she said mid yawn as she finally dug into the rice with her chopsticks. She finished her breakfast quickly and wandered downstairs and wondered what to do. ~It's holiday break for Christmas and Tomoyo's gone to visit her grandmother. What will I dooooooo?~ she wailed into her own mind as she circled the table in the front room. Slowly she stopped and sighed. ~I guess I could just do nothing...~ she thought resignedly. The door bell rang loudly and scared Sakura half to the clouds.
"Phweeeeeeeeeee! Who is it?" she asked as she approached the door.
"It's Yukito! Let me in before I freeze!" a chattering male voice said from the other side of the door.
~YUKITO!!! I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN FOREVER!!!~ she thought excitedly as she yanked the door open and greeted him with a glowing smile.
"I haven't seen you in forever!" he said and echoed her thoughts, only to nearly have the wind knocked out of him as the short young woman tackled him in a hug.
"Yukito!!! Where have you beeeeeen!" she said from somewhere in the vicintity of his navel.
Looking down he gently hugged her back. "I've missed you too Sakura! You've grown so much!" he said in his pleasent voice. "Where is your brother?" he asked after looking into the house.
Sakura let him go and said in a tired tone,"He's been persuing his new girlfriend and I haven't really seen him much at all. I think her name is Akane." she said in an off hand tone,"I think you could find him later in the day maybe. Could you stay to keep me company?"
"Sure Sakura! That was half of my plan anyways!" he replied happily and rumpled her hair as they walked inside. Sakura bolted towards the kitchen in her usual fashion and set about making some hot tea and putting rice cakes on a platter. She poured honey into the tea to sweeten it, as she knew Yuki liked, and walked back into the front room to serve him where he had sat on the couch.
"Here you go Yuki! I remember that you like your tea with honey." she said and started to sip her own cup of tea.
He smiles warmly and sips at the tea. He was trying to fight back a feeling of unease every time he looked at Sakura. ~Whats wrong with me? The only reason I came here actually was to see Sakura? But why?~ he thought vaugly as he looked into his cup of tea. ~Something inside me beckons me towards her... I dunno, I guess I'll have to heed this beckoning.~ he thought finally. He set down the cup of tea and sighed as he sank down deeper into the couch. "Thank you very much Sakura, I'm glad you remember." takes a bite of a rice ball,"How has your vacation been so far?"
Sakura pauses for a moment in thought, a flash of white wings flashed through her memories. "It has been sad. Yet something pulls at me, something that scares me yet sends shivers down my spine." she murmered after a moment. She shook her head and stood up, pacing back and fourth she tried to rid the troubled feeling within her heart. ~I don't know what to do any more...~ she thought,~I'm just a nervous wreck all the time.~
"What could that be?" Yuki asked.
"I'm not sure..."
"Have you been having bad dreams?"
"In a way yes, in a way no..." she muttered.
He stood up and sat down beside her. "I don't know what to tell you Sakura, but I've been having the same sort of problems recently too. I guess we'll both have to hope that it will be alright." he said in a hushed voice. He patted her on the head and stood up. "I think I should depart now, I have homework and stuff like that to deal with." he said with a grin, even though his eyes had a melencholy look. He walked to the door and put his shoes on.
"Alright Yuki, please visit again some time." she said quietly, she felt as if all the energy han been drained from her body. She sighed and waved him out the door as she curled up under a blanket on the couch. He waved back and nodded, leaving quietly when she replied,"Good bye Yuki."
She sat there on the couch and tried to sort out her thoughs. ~Yukito is feeling the same sort of thing? He doesn't know how much I understand.~ She got up and prodded her book bag. Kero fell out fast asleep. "How am I going to talk to you if your asleep?!?" she wailed but he didn't stir.
Sakura, feeling abused, stomped up to her room to find that it was only hours into the day and she wished she could just go to sleep. She sat down at her desk and looked down at her quill and ink set. ~Maybe I could write something...~ she thought. She picked up her nib and started to write:
I have searched so long, on wings of light I grow so weary, journying with all my might.
~I miss you Sayoran, why did you leave me?~ she thought as tears welled in her eyes.
Where have you strayed, my love of blue eyes? To the winds of forever, and the crystal skies?
~Blue eyes? But how could blue eyes?~ she thought as suddenly a flash of memory caught her mind. ~The ghostly person who haunts me.. His eyes of silver and light blue haunt my soul.~ She closed her eyes as if to ward the memory off, for she did not know what to think anymore.
I shall wander long, searching for you. Untill the last light of day, and morning dew.
~Who do I search for? Why is my mind and heart so lost. Every nuance of these words strike true in my confusion...~ she thought in a tearful voice within her mind. She dropped her pen and let the silent tears trickled down her cheeks. She looked up to find that she had whiled away most of the day by just sitting at the desk. "Phweeeeeeeeeee! How did I do that!?" she exclaimed in surprise. She looked down at her hands and found that they were blotched with black ink. She sighed and gave up on the thought of cleaning up. ~I am too tired...~ She put on her pajamas and made sure eveything was alright in the house.
She found Kero, still out cold, in her bag. "Thats strange. Kero??" she said as she picked him up,"Kero!!? Hm... I don't know whats going on but he seems to be okay, his aura is strong." She carrried him upstairs and put him in his little drawer where he stayed in her bedroom. "I hope you'll be better soon..." she whispered as she turned to her own bed.
*~*~*
As she lay there a single tear traced a path down her slilken cheek as she fell into a fitful slumber.
The shadow, which had held itself cloaked in the corner solidified slowly. The man who had haunted her dream walked forward slowly. He bent ofer and gently touched her cheek and brushed her tear away as he cupped her cheek in his hand. A voice, broad and powerful, yet gentle and tame spoke,"there is so much in your future, and so much of you in mine." he whispered. His gentle touch stilled her troubled mind and let her sleep peacefully.
Turning away he sighed with unspoken longing and fear. As he walked towards her window he inadvertantly left a strikingly beautiful silver feather in his wake. He dissapeared in a mist to drift away through the window on a passing wind.
