A/N: Whoops, almost forgot about this. And school starts in about less than a week. This story may not be that long; probably about 20 chapters at the most. Besides, the plot won't move forward if it's just Sakura, Kamui, and Subaru chilling at the palace (It's more than just that but I'm not giving anymore away). And we have a guest star this chapter and the next one~ Sorry that this chap was crappy but I promise that the next one is much better.
And no, this isn't the same balcony from last chapter in the beginning.
Yes, I do support the theory that Kamui and Subaru are nobles or whatever.
"And if you need anything else, you can just tell me or Sakura," Touya said before turning around to walk away. "Oh, and if you do something to my sister, you'll regret it."
"Touya!" Sakura scolded. She shook a fist at him as she watched him walk away.
Touya insisted that he had to meet the twins. After all, Kamui and Subaru were temporarily staying at their palace. So he dragged Sakura out of bed (it was a long night) so she can retrieve the twins so they could meet Touya.
"He reminds me of you, Kamui," Subaru cheerfully said.
"Psshh please," Kamui folded his arms, "I'm not that weird." Sakura couldn't help but laugh at his remark. He turned to her to hear the rest of the laughter.
"Well, if you guys don't mind, there's something I like to show you," Sakura shyly said. Subaru nodded and so did Kamui. She led them across the hall to the stairs. Quietly, the three walked up the stairs. Sakura walked ahead over to a door and opened. Sunlight escaped from the opening as Sakura held the door open allowing the twins to enter. She closed the door after her when she walked through.
Sakura walked over to the marble railing. With this balcony standing several feet off the ground, the entire kingdom was visible. The houses and buildings looked close by yet still far. That's what amazed Sakura though. It reminded her of her people and their passion for their own land.
"This is . . . amazing," Subaru gasped. "I wouldn't have thought that we would be this high up." He was standing by the railing next to his other half, who was clinging onto his hand. "It's almost like our home, right Kamui?"
"Yes, it is," Kamui agreed.
"Our mother would get angry with us when we would sneak onto the castle's roof," Subaru giggled.
"I remember," Kamui smiled slightly. If Sakura didn't know Kamui's true feelings, she wouldn't have thought that his voice sounded so sad even though he was smiling. Actually, it sounded more desperate than sad.
But at the same time, Sakura envied Kamui. She was jealous of how they were both together. It was like a puzzle. Both pieces were together, but one needed another piece to be completed. Sakura brought the twins up here so Kamui could realize he should be lucky he still has Subaru. Unlike him, she doesn't have Syaoran by her side. True, she was still lucky that he loves her.
Sakura merely blinked. Speaking of him, Sakura has forgotten all about Syaoran up until now. It was like she was too busy worrying about someone else. Sakura eyed Kamui for a moment then mentally shook her head. No, she loved Syaoran and Syaoran only.
Wiping her eye, Sakura slowly walked across the main hall from the small balcony. For some reason, she thought that Kamui would be there again tonight. After she waited for what seemed to feel like an hour, Sakura decided to go to bed. Her footsteps echoed through the vast room as her night gown swayed against her thighs. They were so loud that they were clicking. Clicking? But Sakura was walking barefoot.
She stopped and turned around. There was no one there. Sakura began to shake out of fear and walked at a slower pace. This time, her footsteps, if they were hers, weren't clicking. Sakura's breathing increased as she stopped a second. Just in case, she checked behind her one more time so she can verify that she was by herself. This time, her eyes scanned the space behind her cautiously but there was no sign of anyone there. Sakura sighed and continued walking.
"Was it me you're looking for?" A deep, teasing voice called out.
Sakura gasped and spun around her heels. To her surprise, a tall man with raven-colored hair stood several feet in front of her wearing a long black cloak. His chilling amber eyes stared down at her. This man looked so familiar. No, it was because Sakura knew this man. She remembered him from Outo, how he was acquainted with Syaoran, and that his name was Seishirou.
