Fragmented Heart Chap 4

" Syaoran."

" Hime?..."

Two soft hands graced the sides of the boys cheeks as he gazed down at the girl that looked up at him with deep emerald eyes he could forever fall lost into. Syaoran slowly opened his mouth to say something but was quickly silenced when Sakura silently shook her head to side, telling him not to ruin this moment, and closed his mouth shut following her orders. Syaoran stared deeply into the girl's eyes feeling his body tense as he could clearly feel from where he was, the strong desire from the girl sending a shiver up and back down his spine. Syaoran slowly blinked as he watched the girl's honey-dew colored hair drape over her eyes, her face approaching his face, making goose bumps rise all over his body as her soft breathe danced across his mouth . Syaoran's pupils slowly enlarged as he felt the girl's hands move from his face and link around his neck and could've sworn he had heard her whisper a "I love you." before her warm lips pressed against his. Syaoran's mind went in total full-lock-down-press-the-big-red-button-mode comprehending that his childhood friend was giving him a affection of her love to him. For so long he had been wishing and dreaming to do this and thought it would never come, not for a commoner and a princess. Something that was the last thing that would happen in his mind, that was thought all true until now. Syaoran finally came to the decision before he sent out the message he didn't want this affection his princess had so willingly given to him, that it was best to snap out of his shock, suck up his courage, and do what he had intended to do so long ago. Closing his eyes, Syaoran leaned his head to his the side , opening his mouth ever so lightly to let her get a better taste of him and softly pushed back, snaking his arms around Sakura's waist from where he was holding her and brought her into him more, enveloping her in his warmth.

" One hour and fifteen minutes..."

" You count? "

Kurogane switched his gaze at the front door from where he sat and directly at the blonde haired wizard that smiled playfully who sat across from him with Mokona bouncing around in his lap, giving them both a deep glare.

" Just being around you fills my presence with deep mutual ill seated hatred for you, I can't even stand looking at you and that white manjiu so bouncy all the time"

Fai flashed Kurogane cute grin that made the ninja's hair stand at the ends of his neck, his eyebrow twitching in irritation

" Well you send butterflies fluttering in my stomach too Kuro-tan"

"It's Kurogane!"

A loud scrapping noise was made across the ground when the furiated ninja roughly stood up in his chair making it fall back as he reached for his sword once again preparing to send the wizard to the next life , already annoyed enough with the fact he didn't know where the two teenagers that traveled with them were at this time at night. Surprisingly, the ninja found himself starting to have feelings or whatever you care to call them for these people that surrounded him. At times it made him shiver in disgust, especially for some certain people.

" Before you do anything in any way to harm me, can we stop and think where our Princess and Syaoran-kun are?"

Fai's smile suddenly turned very calm at the ninja that glared down at him, putting his sword back in his slot on his back and huffed as leaned against the wall, folding his arms across his chest.

" How should I know? Weren't you with them last before you came here, any ideas?"

" Well surely I thought they would be back by now but who knows what they may have found in this new world."

Kurogane's face became very hard as his eyes shaded with a deep thought of seriousness that made Fai's eyebrows raise

" Talking about the new world, this new dimension we have enetered is definitely not any ordinary one we have been to before. Earlier today while the kid and I were out getting supplies for this shack we ran across things that he was very similar to him, he said something like 'this was just like the Princess's old country' and when we started asking other villagers about the history here we were told they have had such hard times recently with 'demons' popping out of portal holes and their King ill with some kind of weird sickness and the disappearance of their own princess. Sound a little odd to you?"

Fai's face smile was soon etched away with a look of deep thought as he listened to the ninja

"Mm...seems like we are in a place like Sakura-chan's old home, or just exactly in it. How interesting...but here's an idea."

Kurogane's eyes widened as he gave the wizard a crazy look who grinned widely at him with eyes twinkling

" Why don't you be a good Kuro-chan and look for them!"

errrrr..wrong answer, try again.

"...what did you say?..."

a large black presence began to erupt from behind Kurogane as Mokona wiggled out from under Fai's arms and began jumping around on the ninja's head which right now was an utterly dangerous but bold move as he sang cheerfully on top of his head

" Kurogane's glowing! Kurogane's glowing! Kurogane's glowing!"

"..."

slowly. The sword was removed from its sheath.

--------------------------------------------

" Syaoran! Sakura!"

Mokona sniffled as tears stood at the corners of his eyes as he sat in Fai's hands calling out to the two teenagers while delicately touching the large bump that was formed on top of his head, letting out a pitiful whimper.

" Kurogane hurts!.."

Fai continued smiling as he walked through the dark night with the small creature he held in his arms, a large glowing red bump growing from on top of his head, looking for the two teens that were still not to be found.

" Maybe we shouldn't play with Kurogane-Puu for a while. He seems just a smidge bit of angry right now. We might as well find our two love birds for the moment."

---------------

" Oh no."

Sakura snapped her emerald green eyes wide open and pressed her hands against the boys chest, breaking away from his hold, her eyes staring into his wildly. Sakura gasped for air, her face completely flushed, quickly standing up pulling the cloak around herself tighter as one hand was pressed against her mouth as she stared at Syaoran who stared at her with complete worry, as she realized what she had just done.

" Oh no. I...I'm so sorry! I..I don't know what came over me, it just happened! I'm so sorry Syaoran-kun!"

" Hime-"

And with that the princess turn and ran, ran into the cold dark desert night. Just to be alone and to think, wherever her feet picked up and took her. Sakura's eyes squeezed closed as hot tears fought their way up and began spilling over. What had she done, she ruined the only good close relationship with someone she actually felt so very close too, someone that made her just feel right, herself. Sakura wanted to run and hide to somewhere that was dark and empty to hide in for the rest of her life, too ashamed to ever look at the boy she cared for so dearly ever again.

" HIME!"

Syaoran quickly scrambled to his feet preparing to go run after the girl when he was stopped by the wizard and small white creature he held in his arms who stared at him with a calm and intent gaze in his eyes but still with a smile on his face.

" Everything okay Syaoran-kun?"

Syaoran burrowed his eyebrows together in distress as he stared over the wizard's shoulder, no longer able to see Sakura who melded into the dark, his eyes shaking with fear.

" She's gone..."

---------------------------

No. No, no, no! This wasn't suppose to happen! How could she have carelessly let her feelings take over her body that much. I mean heck, she didn't even know if the boy even felt the same way for her. Hot streams of water poured down the girl's cheeks as she shook her head side to side, beginning to slow her pace now realizing she ran farther than she thought she did and now had no clue where she was, especially in this dark.

"Oh no, this is not what I needed..."

Sakura pressed her hands against her eyes to try to stop the flow of her tears, but couldn't. She was cold, it was dark, she was lost, and she felt completely miserable . She really did wish now her savior was here right now to rescue her, protect her in his arms and give her that smile that made her heart rise to the clouds and hear his words that everything was going to be okay now. Sakura continued to walk along in the night , tears dripping into the sand not noticing what was infront or coming near her, too distracted in her own distress.

"Sakura-Hime?..."

Sakura rose her head as she let out a shaky breathe watching as a young tall man with short blonde hair and glasses that held a long staff in his hands slowly approached her.

" Sakura-Hime?.. Is it really you?"

" Yukito-San!"
