Fairy Tale
Disclaimer: I don't own Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE nor the other stories and characters involved. : )
Oh, good. Sakura's now sleeping. So peaceful. Darn it. Why did all of this had to happen? Why her? Of all people… I remember… When I was young…
I was left all alone on the streets. Wondering with my blind eye covered with a bandage. Until… Fujitaka-san found me. He took care of me, like he was of my own blood. He showed me kindness that I have not seen before. The times I've spent with him, I was happy. But still… I still felt that awful feeling… That awful feeling of loneliness.
Sure, I wasn't lonely any more, but I still felt the feeling that I still need to search for "that person". That someone that will be my light and bring me out of the darkness. The person that will teach me the true meaning of happiness.
Then one day… I found her. Or rather, I was more like we found each other. It was that day when father (Fujitaka-san) and I went to the castle to ask permission from the king. It was then when I first saw her… The Princess Sakura. It was then I felt an unexplainable feeling that one could actually put in one word: "completeness".
Every time I was with her, I felt really happy. Father said,
"I think you've already found your sleeping princess."
Heh. Just like in that fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty. But then, I still wonder why he compared Sakura with Sleeping Beauty.
Years went by so fast. Like the birds flying over the morning sky. By then, I knew this feeling, I suppose looking up to her or probably the higher level of admiration. But then, should I wake this sleeping princess by telling her this feeling? Or probably, this isn't the time. Or maybe, we were just never meant to be. She's the princess and I… I'm just a simple commoner. Ah, well. From the beginning I was alone and still alone. Even if I just watch her from far away, to see her smile and to listen to her laughter and dreams for the Clow Country, It's enough.
But then one day, this all ended. How shall I describe it? Probably Sleeping Beauty getting pricked by the needle and doomed to sleep for a hundred years or simply having the time of sleep lengthen?
Anyway, it hurts. It hurts to see her (suffer?) like this. So now, were on this journey to search her lost memories. Even if I have to suffer, even if I had to die, even if… She has to forget about me. As long as I'm still living, I swear that I bring back all your memories, Sakura… When that day comes, I'll put an end to your supposedly eternal slumber and bring a happy ending for this fairy tale.
a/n: Darn. Why can't I write? My mind is really on vacation? Well my other stories sure aren't. Anyways, inspired by a pairing I really like. Oh yeah, its not on this… : )
