Hey all. I'm backkkkk. :P. So, this is a Yukino/Sakura chapter, and it's full of fluffy fluffiness! I actually love this chapter. I think I hold fairly well to Rin, Haru, Yuki, and Machi, but if I don't, eh, that's your oppinion. If some of the descriptions are confusing I apologize for it. I'm half asleep and really need sleep for a big thing tomorrow, but I suddenly needed to write. I thank everyone for the favorites and stuff. Major plot moves next chapter, promise! :D.

Disclaimer: Owns nothing!

Boom! Crash! Slam! Ah, a typical day in Yukino's home. He walked through his parents loving feud, dodging thrown projectiles with the ease of obvious practice. Yukino was able to make it out with no injuries and walked the familer path from his house to Sakura's. This path he could've walked blind folded, he knew it so well.

He spent a lot of time at Sakura's house. Sometimes he said he wanted her to tutor him, or even just wanted to upset the freaky quiet of her house. But those were just excuses and though she never knew it, he did.

Yukino went there so he could just spend time with her. she was basically the center of his world, though no one knew it. no one knew that he hated martial arts, but he learned and trained everyday just so he could protect her. No one knew that his longest dream was to win her heart and marry her. All he knew about what he wanted to do when he grew up was to be the greatest husband in the world for her...

But no one, not even Sakura, knew these things. And he liked it that way. For now.

Sakura was so shy and modest. She had yet to really bloom to her full potential, at least in his mind. He loved her, was obsesssed with her in his own way. As much as he wanted to claim her, be with her, he knew that once he had her he would never be able to let her go. so, Yukino planned to wait, to use the patence even he didn't know he had to wait until he thought her ready.

Yukino had decided many years ago to be with Sakura, learn about her until he knew all there was, to stand asiade as she explored and grew into the confidant woman Yukino knew she could be. And, when she had blossomed as much as she could, Yukino would be there...to sweep her off her feet and keep her with him always and forever. They'd never be apart, and spend their lives together to the very end.

Yukino thought of his plans and walked with a satisfied smile. As he neared the door to Sakura's home, he walked in without knocking, like always, or taking off his shoes. Yukino walked through the house. As always, the house was pretty messy. Uncle Yuki had never been all that neat and Aunt Machi still hated perfection, and their house reflected that.

Yukino waded through the debris and up to Sakura's room. Here, he did knock...no answer. Worried, he opened the door. The room was empty of his one and only, and clean. Clean, but cluttered. While Sakura lived with messy parents, she was fairly clean and organized in her own way, she was just a pack rat.

On her covered desk, Yukino noticed a picture on the top of everything else. He walked over to pick it up. Oh, Yukino remembered this day. He sat down on Sakura's bed, lost in memories...


It had been over a year ago now. The last time sakura had been picked on. Yoko had been at a martial arts championship. at the end of the school day, Yukino had planned to walk home with Sakura, just the two of them, when he noticed that she was no where to be found. He searched the whole school, more worried and scared by the minute.

Eventually, he came to a stop near the back of the school, out of breath. He was quiet for just enough time to hear sobbing. After following those sobs, he came to an alcove where Sakura sat in the fetal position. "Oh, darling." Yukino said, going down to his knees to akwardly embrace her. "What happened?"

She turned her head into his sholder and wrapped her arms tightly around him. "Did they tease you again?" Yukino asked softly. She said nothing, only sobbed more and nodded. He pulled her onto his lap and let her cry it out. When her sobs faded into hiccups, Yukino looked down at her tear streaked face and smiled softly. she attempted to smile back, but it was weak and tired.

"Come on. Let's go to Akihabara. We can get something to eat and look at all that girly Shojo you love and I pretend to hate. Ok?" Sakura nodded and Yukino helped her get to her feet. Her first few steps were shaky, but Yukino wrapped his arm around her waist. He led her towards the shopping center with her blindly following his movements.

He sat her down at an outside table and had ordered what he knew was her favorite food. It took over an hour of jokes, onesided laughs, and pleads for her to just smile before Sakura lightened up. Within another, sakura was draggin Yukino from store to stroe in oblivion.

Knowing that his job was to pretend reluctance so she could pull him ever where by the hand, Yukino played along. Soon, they'd come to a photo booth that gave out 8x10 photos. Just to keep her smiling, Ykino posed with his arm around her sholder with bunny ears over her head and the other arm around the front of her stomach with her arms wrapped tightly around his neck...


It was this picture he held now. "She kept it." He whispered happily while slowly standing. They looked...so happy. Like...a couple. And he planned for them to have many such pictures together soon. "Hey!"

He turned and slammed the picture back onto the desk. "Sakura." She looked down at his hand and blushed. "Wha-what are you doing here?" she came forward and put the picture face down/

"I came to, uh..." Seeing the picture had thrown him, when he's seen just how perfect they looked together. "To disrupt the quiet of this house." He smirked to cover up his temporary lack of thought. Her face fell slightly. "Oh well Mom and Dad aren't here."

She turned so he couldn't see the disappiontment on her face. She would always be upset when he didn't say he came to just see her. She'd always loved him, but he seemed pleasently consent with being her friend. Sakura turned to face him again with a fake, but happy smile on her face.

"You must have come in after they left. They've never been good at locking the door." Yukino nodded his head and then said, "Let's go watch a movie."

Less than 30 minutes later, Sakura was sleeping again with her head in his lap. He played with her hair, the content of the random Mogeta movie they'd put in lost on him. Yukino leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Soon, Sakura, times like this will be never ending for us. Soon, we will be together forever and you will be all mine. No one elses. Soon, I promise."

Anyway, what ya'll think? I like it and i like exploring the inner workings of charries that are twisted in some way. Also, please forgive me for my spelling and grammer mistakes. I'm using Word Pad with no spell check. So, anyway, I'll be back soon with the next chapter. I promise, the plot moves on in the next chapter. I'm not going to give much away except that there is watermelons, shirts, and accusations. Got any ideas? Let me know what you think! Read and Review!
