‡ †Moon Sight: Punishment† ‡

پپپ

My lunch time Sakura was starving. But she was much to scared to actually go to the lunch room where everyone else ate. So she stayed in her classroom looking through her knew textbooks. Caleb and Demetri weren't fans of school lunch and because they were so popular among the other students half of their class stayed in the room talking and fooling around with each other.

"Caleb! What happened man! We wanted a party during the break!" One of the boys said slapping Calebs back. He winced and rubbed the now sore spot.

"Sorry about that, our parents got in a little situation." He explained. "Maybe next break, what do you think Demetri?"

His brother had been staring at the new girl for the whole lunch period. Caleb caught him taking a couple glances at her when he spoke with the other guys.

"What are you even looking at?" One of the boys asked him glancing Sakura's way. His eyes brightened. "Ah, the new girl. What's her name again?"

"Kinomoto Sakura." Demetri responded automatically. Caleb took a mental note of that.

"Yeah, well she's defiantly pretty. I wouldn't mind sinking my teeth into her pretty little neck at all." The guy said. That got both the brother's attention.

"I think you just want to get some action." Caleb said shaking his head.

"What's wrong with that? Isn't that what we're made for. Sex is just too much fun. And with a girl that beautiful, damn, imagine the fun I would have."

"You won't be having any fun, Angelo." Both Caleb and Demetri replied.

"What you guys put dibs on her already?" Angelo asked his blond eyebrow arching up a little. "That's no fair."

"Suck it up." They said. Angelo got a smirk on his face.

"Well let me try to." He responded.

Before they could stop him he was already beside Sakura using his super human speed. He sat on top of her desk so she couldn't see her books anymore.

"Hey there." He said a seductive look in his eyes. Sakura glanced up, her cheeks turned bright pink and she looked back down only to be greeted by his leg.

"Hi," She mumbled. The boy was gorgeous. He could have been a model. He had high cheek bones with beautiful azure eyes, delectable full lips and long blond hair tied into a pony tail.

"Why so shy, honey?" He asked lifting her face with his finger. He slid it to her chin. Her eyes widened and she shot up standing in her spot. She was flustered.

"Uh...ummm..." She stammered. Angelo chuckled.

"Don't have to be scared I just want to talk. Your a Dhampire right?" He asked. Sakura nodded unable to speak. "You look like a Pure Blood. Your just so beautiful." He drawled.

"Does that mean a Dhampire is supposed to be ugly?" She asked finally snapping out of it.

"No, No, I've met my share of beautiful half-breeds. Let's just say there blood is very...tasty." He purred touching her neck. She slapped it away.

"Thanks for the compliment. I think I'll go eat lunch now." She gave him a glare and was prepared to walk away when he held her arm.

"Don't be so mean. I know your not hungry maybe your just thirsty?" He asked coming closer to her. He sniffed her neck. She smelled like vanilla. A truly horrid smell he detested. But underneath was her roaring energized blood.

Sakura hesitated. She was thirsty. Sure she drank from Xiao Lang this morning but she was too embarrassed to satisfy herself. But she could never bring herself to drink anyone elses blood but his.

"No, I'm alright thank you." She said shaking him off.

"You are a stubborn one." He said with a smile. She turned to him and gave him one of her own. He was beginning to annoy her.

"I return that comment to you."

Caleb laughed. Angelo was in way over his head. He glanced over at his brother. Demetri looked about ready to kill. Caleb stepped over him then went to stand at Sakura's side.

"I don't think she likes you." Caleb said suppressing a smile.

"I think you should mind your business." Angelo retorted. Then the classroom door opened revealing Tomoyo.

"Neh, Sakura-chan, Ni-chan wants-" She stopped to look at the situation. "Aren't you a little heart breaker?" She said giggling. Sakura turned to her ignoring the boys.

"That's not funny, Momo!" She shouted her cheeks turning a crimson red.

"Any intro's Sakura?" Caleb asked.

"She's my stupid cousin Tomoyo!" Sakura replied her face still red.

"I resent that Sakura!" She said still giggling.

"I resent you right now." Sakura said facing the windows.

"Well I'm from 11-1, Tomoyo. Its nice to meet you." Tomoyo said bowing. "Now if you would excuse us, Kero wants to see how your doing." She said looking at Sakura. "You know how he gets."

"Boyfriend?" Caleb asked. Sakura shook her head hard.

"Ew no! That's my other cousin!" She said going over to Tomoyo. "I'll be back it a little." She said waving at him. Caleb nodded and waved back.

"Hurry before the Professor gets back!"

"Yeah!" Sakura said following her cousin.

When she was gone Caleb punched Angelo's shoulder. Angelo grunted and glared at him.

"You can't get that one!" Caleb said with a laugh. Angelo said nothing. He was too lazy to get someone as stubborn as her anyways.

Tomoyo pulled her cousin out of the classroom. She laughed at her red face. She was just too adorable, maybe that's why so many boys had been oogling her. The minute they stepped outside Syaoran was across the hall speaking to some of his classmates. Sakura spotted him and was ready to go say hello but remembered what he had told her. She couldn't speak to him at the Academy, she couldn't even make eye contact with him. So dejectedly she put her head down and walked behind her cousin. Out of the side of his eye he watched her go yearning to follow her. Tomoyo sent him a death glare that would freeze hell over. The bumpkin was mad at him.

"Momo, I want to go home." She complained doing her best not to glance back at Syaoran. She hated this.

"Only a couple more hours, Sakura-chan." She responded.

"That's too long." She replied pouting.

Kero had only wanted to see if both of them were alright. He sent them back to class when he confirmed that. The night went on without much other event. The only thing that changed was Sakura's mood. She became even lonelier and thirstier by the minute.

"What's with the long face?" Caleb asked pulling up a chair beside her.

The school bell had rang nearly a half hour ago indicating the end of the night. The sun was only two hours away from rising. Club activities would be held for an hour and the students would had home in the next one. But Sakura had just sat there staring at her desk as if it was the only interesting thing in the whole world.

"Nothing." She clipped beginning to gather her things.

"If its nothing why does it look like your about to burst into tears?"

"Its none of your business Caleb!" Her voice rang harshly in the room. She finally looked up. "I'm sorry its just that..."

"No, no your right it is none of my business."

"No wait Caleb," She shook her head. "I don't mean to be rude..."

"Your thirsty." He stated. She nodded feeling embarrassed. "Do you have anyone to drink from?"

"I do."

"So why haven't you gone to satisfy yourself?"

"Why do you talk about it like that?! You guys make it sound like...like..."

"Like sex?"

"Caleb!" She exclaimed completely horrified that he had said it. He laughed whole hartedly. She was just too innocent.

"Call it whatever you want...wait a second your a half-breed." He looked at her bewildered. "You're not supposed to go through thirst."

"Well I do."

He studied her for a minute.

"Do you want my blood?"

"No!"

"I thought as much." He laughed again. "If you don't quench your thirst soon you might end up doing something you might regret later. Just go to the person and ask for a drink."

"Its not that easy...and why do you care so much?" She asked putting her head down on the desk.

"Because you have offically became one of my dearest friends." He said honestly. She looked up at him from under her eyelashes.

"Why?"

"Do I need a reason?" He asked smoothing her hair.

"You're a Pure Blood, why would you want to be friends with me?" She allowed him to continue to touch her hair.

"I'm not. I'm a Half Breed just like you." He stated. She bolted up. Her wide eerie emerald eyes staring at him in shock.

"Your a..."

"I'm a Half Breed." He said with a chuckle. "It shouldn't surprise you. This school is made up of both types of vampires."

"But...but..." She really didn't know what to say. He gave another chuckle then stood up. He leaned over her and brushed away the bangs that covered the center of her forehead. He placed a light kiss on it then touched his head to hers.

"You're much too naïve for your own good. But that just makes you all the more adorable." He said. Then he started to walk out of the class room. Startled at his sudden departure she gathered her things and followed after him.

"Wait! Caleb!" She called after him. He had already reached the middle of the hall. She caught up to him and glared at him playfully. "You can't just leave like that!"

"Sorry. Sorry." He said laughing.

It was strange. She didn't feel anything bad coming from him. It didn't even feel like after that kiss he was trying to court her. She liked him a lot for that. As they approched the main gates Tomoyo waved at her to hurry up. Kero stood beside her fuming angry. She was in trouble.

"Oh..."She mumered her steps faltering.

"No one told you to stay so late." Caleb said looking the other way when she glared at him.

"And whose fault is that?!" She shot back. He continued to play innocent.

"Jeez!" She said running to her cousins. "I'll see you tomorrow!" She shouted waving with a smile on her face. She really liked him. He smiled back and waved as well. The minute she got to her cousins Kero went into a long rant. Sakura lowered her head and wanted to cover her ears but if she did he would get louder. Tomoyo shook her head not even getting in between.

Caleb watched as they entered a car and drove off. His brother stepped beside him. He threw his bag at him and he caught it effortlessly. Then they began there walk back home.

"I know you don't like her that way. Why are you treating her as if you did?" Demetri asked side stepping a stone.

"You're getting jealous." Caleb pointed out with a chuckle. His brother nearly kicked him but he made sure to keep his distance.

"And why do you think that is!" Demetri said glaring at him. Caleb laughed again.

"Why is it a problem to treat her as if she were my sister? Unlike the uncute brother I have she is adorable and innocent." Caleb replied looking up at the sky. The sun was beginning to rise.

"Seriously?" Demteri asked shaking his head. "You just want someone to spoil."

"And I finally have someone to spoil. Don't worry I don't plan to fight with you over her. She's not my type."

Demetri's face turned red. Caleb laughed dodging his punch then making a run for it. He took it back, his brother was cute when he wanted to be.

Getting back to the mansion Sakura did not dare to say a word. She was scared Kero might scream at her again. He looked over at her and sighed.

"You don't have to be so scared, idoit." He said glaring at the window.

"But you're scary when you're mad!" She protested hiding behind Tomoyo.

"He was just worried that all." Tomoyo said patting her head. "You know how he is."

"What's that supposed to mean Tomoyo?" He asked turning his glare to her. She glared back.

"It was a compliment, peanut head! Calm down!" She shot back then stuck out her tongue.

"Sometimes I wonder about you." He said shaking his head then going back to the window.

After that the ride wasn't all that bad. But Sakura started to feel lonely. She looked out the window just as Kero did and let out a long and heavy sigh. Arriving at the house maids greeted them when they went inside. Sakura sniffed the air but didn't find the scent she was looking for. She sighed again. Tomoyo and Kero said goodnight and they went into their rooms.

She missed Xiao Lang.

A while night and she barely spoke with him. She couldn't even look at him which made her feel worse. Going to her room she paused in front of his door. She missed him so much that her chest was starting to ache. What exactly was that feeling? Why did she miss him so much? As she thought she opened his door. She looked around but didn't see him any where. Then she glanced at the bed. It wouldn't hurt to just wait would it? She didn't answer her own question. Instead she went to sit down. As time passed her eyelids grew heavy. When they closed completely she feel to the pillows and didn't wake up.

Syaoran's POV

Avoiding my sleeping quarters was something I could not continue to do. She had drifted into my bed as if it was her own which amazed me even more. I entered, looked at her sleeping form then made a bee line for the bathroom. A shower was in order after such a long night.

Father was being unreasonable. He was never a man to reason with. It was expected he was the king of the Pure Bloods and I, his son, Prince LI Xiao Lang. He wanted Sakura to be captured immediately. He wanted the power of the descendant of a Demi god that she had to offer. But I as and not as a creature of the night have grown too attached to her. I can not possibly giver her up now.

The bioling hot water seared my skin. I gritted my teeth against the pain. Punishment was what I needed. My stupidity was beyond me. Never have thoughts and actions been so idiotic. I dropped to my knees and punched the tiled floor of the shower. I should have known better. My affection for her only interrupted my plans. If I loved her I couldn't not giver her to my father. But sadly love between us was not possible. I should not even entertain such tomfoolery.

I can not count how many times my fist met the floor. The blood that was washed away could only tell me it was one too many. I curse the day I was born a Pure Blood. I curse the day Sakura was born with such unholy god like power. Yet if we were not born as we are now I would never have known of her existence.

"Damn!" I cursed silently. The very action I have despised I do. The situation called for it. "Damn!" I punched the tiled floor sending blood spraying against the wall and my face. "Damn it all!" I hissed "What do I do now?!" I stopped my senseless self mutilation and just knelled there my body shaking. "What do I do now." I whispered to myself.

The door flew open. I had forgotten to lock it. The shower curtain opened as well and a girl gasped in horror. She turned off the shower and started to call out my name.

"Xiao Lang!" Sakura cried placing towels on my seared back. I grunted in pain. "Come on, stand up I can't carry you myself!"

Her voice was hysterical. How could she be so worried about me? I have done nothing but hurt her repeatedly for my own selfish desires. She half carried me back inside my room and to the bed.

"Lay on your tummy." She whispered. I chuckled a bit, she sounded like a child. "I'll be right back, don't you dare move." She ordered as if I actually had the will to do so.

She came back with a bucket of butter from the kitchen and a first aid kit. With her delicate hands she scooped out a handful and placed it on my back. She rubbed it and spread it on my back.

"What are you doing, woman?" I asked rudely. This tactic to get her away from me never did work successfully. But it was all I had left.

"I'm spreading butter on your burns." She replied calmly taking out another scoop making it thicker on my back. It did feel better.

"I can feel that. Now tell me why." I demanded. She sighed and put the bucket down.

"The better prevents scaring and sucks out the heat. IT will heal faster." She explained finishing up. She went to the bathroom to wash off the extra butter. She came back and began working on my hand.

"I do not need your help." I said grunting at the antiseptic.

"I don't care." She responded wrapping my hand tightly in bandages.

She packed up the kit and left it at my bedside. Then she climbed into my bed and laid beside me. Her presence was comforting.

"This is not your room." I said but she only snuggled closer to my side.

"Why are you so mean to me?" She asked taking the hair out of my eyes.

"This is irrelevant leave my room." I responded moving my head from her hand.

She stopped fussing with my hair. Then she curled into a tight little ball and closed her eyes. Was that how she slept? She looked like a child.

"Stop thinking of me like that." She said angirly. "I'm not a child."

I had forgotton that she could hear my thoughts if I did not block them off.

"So you heard me before?" I asked thoughI preferred that she had not.

"No. I was asleep." She said. "But..." She pondered if she should say it. "I know it has to do with me."

"And how do you asume that, Princess?" I asked mockingly. She glanced up at me then at the bed sheets.

"I heard you calling me." She whispered.

"I did no such thing." I denied even though I had. I had called out to her in my heart so many times in that moment.

"Yes you did." She whispered again. Her right arm moved down to her seemingly swollen chest. I had not noticed that along with her transformation her body had become fuller along with her hair, her eyes and skin her body had become more of that of a woman. She pressed her hand there making her chest buldge a bit. I had to control myself not to do anything shameful. "Right here was where I heard you so that is from where you called." She paused. "You're worried too." She looked up at me again her eyes pleading. "Tell me what's wrong, Xiao Lang."

"That is not a subject of discussion." I said.

Then I closed my mind and heart to her before she could read any more of my thoughts. She had such a frightening power. My seal on her gave us a connection to hear each others thoughts but our feelings were not to be shared, it was not even written in any books I have read. Looking down at her, her eyes worried and sad that I would not share my troubles with her. It gave me a slight twinge in my chest. I wish she had not found me so she would not feel so distraught. Unconsciously I broke down.

"Do not look at me with such sorrowful eyes, my Princess." I said turning on my side. I could not help myself any longer. Slowly I gathered her small frame into my chest with my arms creating a shield from the rest of the world. I ignored the pain of my burns. It was nothing compared to how I truly ached for this girl.

"Then do not hide what is bothering you." She said. I smiled slightly. She was speaking the same way I did.

"I can not." I responded the scent of vanilla filling my nose. The smell had clung to her like an ant to sugar.

"Why?" She whispered. I could here the pain in her voice.

"You must understand me. This is something that I cannot discuss with you." I said holding her tighter.

"Xiao Lang..." She murmmered burying her face into my bare chest.

"Forgive me, Princess." I apologized sincerely. My name rang in my ears with her voice. That sweet voice that I could not bare to hear sadness in. If I betrayed her, how would that voice call out to me? "Sakura?"

She did not answer. Instead she closed her eyes as if she were asleep. Silently I watched her. She had not changed her uniform. Her fatigue must have gotten the better of her. I squeezed her in my arms and buried my face into her dark locks. What I would not give to have her like this with me forever. My eyes stung with an unfamiliar sensation that I fought it with all I had in me. This had to be my punishment from the gods. Loving this beautiful and innocent girl but having to sell her to the devil.

"Forgive me, Sakura." I whispered into her hair my voice quivering slightly. This girl would be the death of me and I truly did not mind such death.
