Perfect Blue
"Look at this!" Kurogane exclaimed angrily, looking around and stomping his feet. "There isn't anyone here! No one! It's totally deserted!"
The group, having just traveled from yet another world, found themselves standing amidst a meadow of endless green grass. No flowers or trees. Just grass. That, and the bluest sky above them.
"Mokona, do you sense one of Sakura's feathers?" Fai asked calmly, promptly ignoring Kurogane's ranting.
Mokona closed its eyes and searched the land. "Nope, I don't think this world has anything in it," the creature said, looking around.
Syaoran looked at Mokona in disappointment. They'd been having more trouble than usual locating Sakura's feathers. They'd found one in the last world, but they hadn't found any in the three worlds before that.
Syaoran glanced over at Sakura, expecting her to have the same disappointed look upon her face as well, but blinked in mild surprise. She didn't look disappointed or sad, not even annoyed. She was looking up into the sky, as if in a trance. She had a look of peace, as if she'd been enlightened. All she did was look up into the blue sky.
Fai eyed Syaoran starring at Sakura and laughed quietly to himself.
"Mokona, Kurogane and I will try and find the people who inhabit this world, watch Sakura for us, okay Syaoran?"
Syaoran looked over at Fai and nodded slightly, then watched as the three of them left in search for life. He turned back to Sakura.
"…What are you doing?" He asked cautiously.
She didn't turn to him "I'm looking at the sky," was her only answer.
Syaoran sighed and scratched his head. "I can see that, why?" He walked over to her and looked up into it as well.
"It's so blue…yet there is no sun…"
Syaoran blinked and looked around, she was right, there wasn't a sun in sight, yet it was so bright and blue.
"I've never seen a sky so blue…" She mumbled, as if put under a spell. She lay down on the grass and starred up into the sky once more.
Syaoran sat next to her, looking into it as well but saying nothing.
"All the other world's skies seem to be affected by the moods of their people…but this sky….this sky isn't affected in such ways…"
Syaoran looked down at her "What do you mean?"
"If people cried, the sky cried, if people were angry, the sky was angry, it was only when people were happy that the sky was so very blue in all the other worlds, but this sky isn't affected in such ways…Kurogane-san is angry yet the sky does not boom, Mokona is disappointed yet the sky dies not cloud over…" she looked up at him "Syaoran-kun is sad yet the sky does not weep…"
He looked back up at the sky "Yeah, I suppose you're right…"
She looked back up at the sky as well "I know I am…this world is so happy, its sky is so blue…so blue…" her eye lids fluttered over her eyes and she was asleep in an instant. Syaoran stared down at her for a moment, then leaned down and brushed his lips against her own.
"I am only sad when you are sad, Sakura, forgive me for making you worry…"
