A/N: School is starting in a couple of weeks for me so I'm trying to update this as much as I can. I know it's so out of Kamui's character to not stay by Subaru's side while he sleeps but hey, I gotta build his and Sakura's relationship. Review if you must~

Edit 6/5/2013: I've been trying to go back and edit previous chapters. For the past five months, I've put all my focus into sports and schoolwork so I didn't have the motivation to work on this. For you patient ones, chapter seven should be up sometime soon.


Every five minutes (or so it felt like), Sakura rolled over to the opposite side of the bed. She was just so restless tonight, which was quite rare for her since it only took a matter of seconds for her to fall asleep. Lying on her back, lying on her stomach, or lying on her side didn't work. Pillows or no pillows, bed sheets or no bed sheets, nothing seemed to do the trick.

Sakura gazed up at the ceiling when she turned back onto her back. Now, she was beginning to feel at ease, letting her thoughts drain out of her mind and sending her focus on the ceiling in the dark room. She stared and stared as if she was frozen in time. Her limbs were comfortably still and undisturbed. Slowly, Sakura shut her eyes took huge, slow breaths.

It just wasn't the same. Every time Sakura had trouble falling asleep, Syaoran was there for her. He was her antidote for whatever pain she had whether it was physical or mental. Without him, Sakura felt a wave of emptiness in this bedroom blackened by the night.

Sakura sat immediately up. She tried to convince herself to think of something else but she only thought of him more and more. The dream she has starts to replay in her head like a T.V. she seen in a few worlds. She kicked the white sheets off and slid off the bed. Quietly, Sakura walked out of her room into the dark hallway. With only so much thoughts swirling in her mind, she knew just the place to go.

After strained efforts of tip-toeing in the dark and past the closed doors, Sakura walked through the satin curtains.

But if weren't for that, she wouldn't have been able to meet Syaoran. Well, he was her destined one so of course they had to meet. She could only thank fate for having each other meet. Speaking of fate, if it was the only thing that could decide which worlds Syaoran, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona would land in, how come they haven't returned yet?

Sakura only hoped fate would especially be kind this time.

"How long are you planning to stay here for?"

Sakura jumped up, shrieking upon hearing the mumbled voice. Heart pounding, she turned around to find Kamui leaning next to the balcony entrance. "Oh h-hello Kamui! Didn't know you were here," she timidly said.

"I've been here for a while," he sighed brushing his bangs away from his face.

"Can't sleep?" Sakura tilted her head.

"No, I can," he said with more of a chill in his voice, "I just chose not to."

"Why not?" Sakura asked just realizing how rude it sounded. "I'm sorry for asking."

Kamui stared at her for a brief moment and finally said, "I have to protect Subaru from that bastard. In case he arrives at night or something." He blinked. "Speaking of Subaru, I should probably-". He made an attempt to walk away but Sakura grabbed his hand just in time.

"Wait," Sakura pleaded, "Stay a little longer. You have a lot on your mind, maybe we can talk about it?"

His eyes widened. "You sure have a lot on your mind." Sakura stared at his face and let his hand slip out of hers. "It was kinda obvious when you told us that Syaoran and the others were still traveling."

Sakura looked down at her feet so Kamui couldn't see how more obvious her loneliness was if he saw her face. "I wish he could come back. It hurts so much knowing that he could come any moment now or maybe even never."

"Consider yourself lucky. At least he loves you back."

"Huh?"

He walked over next to Sakura and rested his elbows on the white marble and his head in his hands. "I mean, at least he loves you back the same way you love him." He said gazing at the night sky. Sakura felt her cheeks turn warm. "That way, you know he won't ever betray you. . ." His voice trailed off with the silenced night. But Sakura knew damn well that he was right. Syaoran would never betray her in any way and besides, he swore on his life that he would protect her. He has proven that to her several times during their journey.

Sakura gazed at his violet eyes. It was moments ago when it seemed like danger flashed in his eyes. They now looked. . .empty. And lonely. "What makes you say that?" She worriedly asked.

Kamui stood . "I don't understand. I never did. It makes zero sense how he could possibly let himself fall for him. In the end, it's him who's more valuable than I am to Subaru. I am nothing more than just his twin brother.

Instinctively and subconsciously, Sakura held onto Kamui's hands and tangled her fingers with his. She felt them slightly shaking. His eyes changed back to the amethyst she was used. "I think you're a great brother, Kamui. It's great that you care and would do anything for your twin. Subaru is lucky to have someone like you as his brother." Sakura slightly smiled up at Kamui.

He turned away. "You think so?" Kamui asked softening his tone.

"Of course!"

"Thanks for understanding, Sakura."

"You're welcome! I'm going to bed now. You should too!" She looked down to see that she was still clinging onto his hands and gently look go. "For me." He stared blankly at her. "And Subaru," She quietly said.

Bringing his arms at his sides, Kamui replied, "I-I'll do it for Subaru."

Sakura smiled. "Thanks Kamui. Goodnight then, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Goodnight."

She made her way to her bedroom through the dark and quiet hallway. As she lied down in bed, Sakura could not help but think what Kamui previously told her. The thought of her being lucky because of Syaoran's loyalty sure was comforting. But the image of Kamui comes to mind and that was when Sakura remembered how not so lucky he was, despite having Subaru at his side.
