Yes! It's finished! *jumps for joy*
The surprise, 'Shorts and Shots' first batch is finally finished. *Jumps for joy* This took a month to finish, which, I'm finally glad I was able to finish it off. So here it is.
Title: Shorts and Shots: Clamp's Collection Pt. I
Category: Clamp and expect some crossovers
Rating: Ranges from K to NC-17 (Due to some graphic scenes, language, blood, a bit of violence, and some hotness in some of these shorts and shots) For this part, it's just K>T fluff.
Genre: Mostly Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Humor, Angst a bit of horror, friendship, tragedy, and supernatural.
Note: I'm slightly pissed of due to the fact I cannot post the whole thing on a single entry, so I'll try and post this in different parts. I'm still trying to find an easier way for you guys to navigate through the whole thing, but unfortunately, it might take a while. So, I apologize for any inconvenience.
Note: After reading some SubaruxSakura fics, which I admit is now one of my favorite crossovers pairing, I ended up having a weird craving for a SubaruxSakuraxKamui fic. So, um from that point on, I think the crack bug struck me again and made me imagine more, and more of them. I wanted sleep badly, so I'm going to do something about it. I swear whenever I think of crossover pairings, it leads to some that isn't there on FF. net. Which makes me wonder *rushes to the window and yells: WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE? 'cough'* I'm not sure if I put most of the characters in their characters, so um yeah. ^_^'' That said, let's begin with the collection.
Disclaimer: Honestly I don't want to do the disclaimer, but since I wrote several of crossover pairings and some of them are pairings just from the anime or yaoi. Half of them I have no idea where they come from, so I guess, I'll have to do it anyway.
Let's see:

Remembering when she was little, her other fear besides the spirits her brother talks about, was the darkness. What lurks beyond the black space always scares her. Kero once told her that the most mages that are dangerous and feared usually have shadow magic. However, as of now she looks at the hand given to her by an ancient Egyptian Spirit, a Prince, who wields a vast amount of shadow magic. Shadow magic equals to darkness, but the person in front of her, he stares at her with kind and honest eyes. Sharp lilac, with knowledge and power at his hand ready to strike at any enemy if needed, but in his eyes, his very soul, he can be trusted, he saved his world and friends a couple of times, but he is alone in the dark. She knows that light and darkness cannot be apart, no matter how many times people tried. To him, she is his star guiding him if he is lost. For her, he envelops her with warmth of the night like those during the summer. And so without any hesitation, she took his hand in hers, intertwining her fingers with his, and she was pulled into a warm embrace. He gives her something he hasn't done during his reign over Egypt. His love, not the love he has for his people in the past or the love for his friends, the love he has for her.

Subaru stared at the teen in front of him. Even though he is sixteen, and she is fourteen, even though he is an onmyoji, she however is a powerful sorceress. He could feel the innocent yet powerful and dangerous light magic that surrounds her. He becomes attracted to it since it is so hard to ignore it and it is also very welcoming.
"Sumeragi-sempai, am I doing this spell correctly?" He was startled out of his thoughts and looks into the emerald green eyes much like his own. Sakura had no clue on how to defend herself when it comes to going against spirits and/or demons, so Subaru, being the person he is, offered to teach. Seeing how close her face to his, his eyes landed on to her lips, he blushed and moved his head away a bit to get rid of the thought that enters his head that sounded strangely like his twin, Hokuto. Hokuto teased him for having a crush on Sakura, someone who is so innocent yet she has a big hope for the future. Seishiro noted that there is a change in Subaru, whenever the mention of Sakura, he blushed and become very self-conscious before looking around to see if she is there or not, truthfully he thought he was acting like a girl. If Sakura is around, he also tends to be a bit selfish or maybe extra selfless, which both Hokuto and Seishiro point out that he lacks when he is around them.
"Sumeragi-sempai?" Sakura tilted her head to the right innocently, however she is oblivious to the situation, making her a lot cuter.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry that I wasn't paying attention earlier. It seems my mind is on somewhere else." Sakura smiles understandingly.
"It's alright, it must be something important than today’s lesson." After that, both of them focus on the task at hand, although Subaru's mind is focusing on helping Sakura, it did add in a last fleeting thought. Not as important, as you. Once they are both done, Sakura bit her bottom lip and look down.
“Kinomoto-chan?” Subaru look at her in concern.
“Sumeragi-sempai, is it ok if I call you Subaru-kun?” Subaru blink and blush slightly red, noticing that Sakura too is a bit red as well.
“Um-I-well-Yes!” He said it loudly, mostly because of excitement, that it made Sakura jump and look at him in surprise. Realizing what he just did blush out of embarrassment, she giggled before smiling at him with a cheerful smile that it made his heart skip a beat.
“As long as you call me, Sakura-chan, I’m fine with it.” He stared at her smile before looking down and blush.
“Hai.” Seeing him a bit red, she leaned forward and covered his forehead with her hand, and doing the same with hers. Subaru blush a bit redder.
“Subaru-kun, are you alright?” He pulled away fast, making her a bit worried. Had she done something wrong? He gives her a soft smile.
“Iie, I’m fine.” More than fine with you around. His mind said happily. Both of them realizing how close their faces were and lean in, he watches her closes her eyes and he too closes his, tilting his head a bit, their lips nearly touching when they heard a scream and a crash. Eyes flew opened, faces red, and both back away, not looking at each other in embarrassment.
Damn it, I was so close. Inner Subaru said in Subaru’s head with waterfall tears.
I nearly kissed him. Sakura’s mind said as she unconsciously touched her lips in thinking of the near kiss and slightly disappointed at the fact that it didn’t happen.
“Um, are you free to hang out for tomorrow afternoon?” There, he said it; he wanted to go out with her.
“No, I’m afraid not.” That was so blunt and it sounds more of a rejection, that it would’ve made Subaru very depressed until he heard her say ‘but’.
“But, I have an idea.” He looked at her surprise with confusion at seeing her smiling at him. She put away the spells and ofudas in her bag next to her star book, before looking at him with an idea. “Meet me on the roof of our apartment at 10 tomorrow night. I have a surprise. I’ll see you there.” Then she left, tomorrow night would be interesting.
________________________________________
Tomorrow night
She is definitely late, and he is a bit worried. Thoughts like ‘is she alright?’ and ‘is she feeling well today?’ range to more depressing ones by minutes with ‘There is no way she is going to go out with me’ to ‘Would she laugh at me because of what I’m wearing today?’. His outfit consists of black sneakers, navy blue tight jeans, a Chinese style white shirt, and he still wear his gloves, which seems normal, too normal given the fact that he knows his own twin. Then he heard running footsteps, and panting like someone just ran up the stairs. He looked at the door, froze, and turned red. Sakura is dressed in a black buttoned up shirt with designs that are in white, a black tattered skirt, not that tattered, but then again some parts of it were ripped, showing white the lace underneath. There is also a black choker with white lace around her neck; she wore white stockings with black dress shoes, and white gloves. Considerably, she either looks gothic or Lolita, a very beautiful one at that too.
“I’m sorry I’m late, Subaru-kun. My best friend from Tomedea, decided to dress me up in one of the costumes made for me.” Sakura said, as she sheepishly gave her answer. Subaru felt sweat drip at the back of his head, he knew that feeling all too well because Hokuto made him wear clothes she designed, whenever knowing Sakura is going to be with them. Sakura chewed her bottom lip, before deciding to go with the idea of her previous plan for tonight. Hoping beyond hope no one saw besides Subaru, what she is doing, she took out her ‘Fly’ card.
“Sakura-chan?” Subaru look at her confused, wondering why she is holding out one of her magic cards out. Sakura look at him with a blush and smile.
“I want to thank you, for making me feel better when I first moved here, for helping me cheer up when I heard Syaoran cheated on me while I was away,” Subaru frowned at the name, but he kept on listening. “and for being there for me when I need your help on going against some of my fears.” Subaru blush at this. “You’ve given me so much; I want to return the favor.” The ‘Fly’ card in her hand glowed; the Star symbol appeared below her and glowed in a brilliant gold. Subaru watched in awe, Sakura did tell him who she is, but seeing this in first experience account is different. The card burst into rainbow colors, spreading around her and him, he could feel her magic softly touch against his own back. Once the flash lights dimmed, a paired of wings settled on her back, he looked at his own back and found a pair of wings.
“I want to share my experience in the sky with you.” Sakura blushed red when she said that, Subaru is also blushing at this, and he smiled.
“Thank you, Sakura-chan.” Sakura look up and beamed at him, before letting her own wings take her a bit up and she flew over to Subaru with her hand out. Wings out spread, her white gloved hand held out. He intake his own breath, she looks like an angel from the heavens, before he reaches her gloved hand with his black one. A startle contrast, black and white, yet they fit like yin and yang, he thought and smiled a bit. The wings on his back beat and a bit startled, he felt himself lift off the ground.
“I’m going to show you the world I grew to love.” They flew into the sky, and watched the city glow itself, the lights danced like fireflies, people hustling and bustling, chattering. Compare to the night sky filled with stars they both witness, this city can also be their stars in the sky. After having fun, with twists and turns, both are undisturbed in the night. For Subaru, the feeling of flying is weightless, pure adrenaline rush, and exciting. He never experienced, this before, and certainly not above Tokyo city at all. He looks at Sakura, and softly smiled. The glow around her, cast by the full moon hanged limply in the starless sky, made her look ethereal. Her kindness and gentleness are vast, her smiles that he treasures, the green eyes she has are so much like his own. He pulled her hand, she look at him with surprise. A true angel, she is, with the vast light and pure heat she has. He brought her hand to his cheek, while he moved his unoccupied hand to hers.
“I wanted to say something, since I first met you. It’s alright if you don’t have to return it after what happened with your ex, but…” Subaru stared at her with determine and gentle gaze, she stare in to him with curiosity and though she may not know, her heart quickens at knowing what is going to happen next. “I love you.” Sakura’s eyes widen at this. “I don’t care the fact that I can’t replace him, I don’t care the fact you are a powerful sorceress, and I don’t care the fact that I’m going to be the 13th head of the Sumeragi clan and someday soon I’m going to be a Dragon of Heaven. It doesn’t change the fact that I’ve fallen in love you. You and your magic attracted me; I couldn’t help but get drawn in.” He stops when he felt a pair of lips against his. He closes his own eyes and kisses back. The hand holding hers on his cheek, moves to her waist and pull her close, while hers reach for his, fingers intertwining with his. She pulled back with a blush.
“Thank you, for loving me. Even though I am not sure what to do after this, but I care for you, Subaru” Sakura blushes more when she said his name without a honorific, Subaru blush and felt his heart rose in hope. “I want to love you, and I’m willing to return those feelings you have for me fully, so will it be alright if we take this slowly?” Her only reply to that question is a soft kiss on her lips.
“For you, anything.” He whispers against her lips, and smiles at hearing her laugh with the endearing blush she currently has on her face.

Omake 1: Attempt on videotape
((A/N: The sudden thought of Tomoyo coming into the picture, I couldn’t resist doing it))
Tomoyo filmed the interaction between Subaru and Sakura. Hearing her cousin being tutored by an omnyoji, especially by a guy made her feel bittersweet for this. The fact that Sakura is being reached out by a guy who is in love with her after the incident with Syaoran, made her feel happy. It also made her sad, because she wants to be the one to do it. She love Sakrua for a long time, those feelings had once again resurfaced after the incident with Syaoran, but being the kind person she is. She doesn’t have the heart to do it as she sees Sakura reacting with Subaru. As long as Sakura is happy, she too is happy. While filming, she heard a movement coming from the bushes and blinked when the two other spies coming out. One who looked a lot like Subaru, but she is dressed femininely. Tomoyo guessed that perhaps Subaru and this person are twins. The other person looks like a doctor, a family friend perhaps. So she edged closer to hear what they are talking about.
“They look so cute together; don’t you think so, Sei-chan?” The twin said, the doctor hummed at this and nodded.
“Yes, they definitely do. When do you think the wedding is going to be?” Tomoyo’s eyebrow raised a bit high at this, before she softly giggled. That made the two aware as they look at her sharply with surprise.
“I’m sorry for surprising you, my name is Daidouji Tomoyo. I’m Sakura-chan’s best friend in Tomedea, and her cousin.” The twin and the doctor look with surprise, the twin decided to introduce herself while the doctor watch.
“My name is Sumeragi Hokuto, and this is Sakurazuka Seishiro. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Daidouji-chan.” Hokuto said.
“Just call me Tomoyo-chan.” Tomoyo said as she smiles at Hokuto.
“As long as you call me, Hokuto-chan.” Hokuto said as she returned the favor.
“So what are you doing here, Tomoyo-chan?” Tomoyo pointed towards her mini-video recorder in her hands.
“I decided to come and visit Sakura-chan, just to say hello. So when she said she is going to be tutored, I decided to follow secretly and film the whole thing.” Tomoyo sighed dramatically, and puts her hand on her own cheek. “If she said her tutor is a guy, I would have dressed her up for the occasion.” Tomoyo said as she sighed dramatically, Hokuto gasped at this. Seishiro took his eyes off the couple for a few minutes, look at Tomoyo and Hokuto; he inwardly shivered, before looking back at the couple. “Me too! I would’ve dressed Subaru for this occasion, but he is adamant that it’s only for tutoring, and not a date.” Both Tomoyo and Hokuto gasped, and clasped each other’s hand.
“I think this would be the start of a beautiful friendship.” They would’ve held each other hands and discuss more when Seishiro’s golden eyes widen through his glasses.
“They’re going to do it.” Hokuto and Tomoyo froze, before Tomoyo scrambled to see through her video recorder. Using the zoom button, her eyes widen and nearly squealed in the kawainess of this. Hokuto look over Tomoyo’s shoulder, and Seishiro looked over their shoulders. Then the scramble for the video camera begins. Somehow one of them ended up screaming after falling, and then they end up on top of one another in a crash. The spy group groaned in disappointment, there is no doubt that Sakura and Subaru heard it, and most likely embarrassed of what they were almost doing. Tomoyo sighed at this. Well, there is always next time. Turns out, next time is much sooner.
________________________________________
Omake 2: Double Trouble
Sakura gulped at this, Hokuto had given Subaru the clothes he would wear later, came over to her apartment with a couple of bags, and she and Tomoyo had been giving each other a grin. She knew that grin is going to be similar to asking for trouble, when it comes to designing costumes.
“Sakura-chan…”Tomoyo and Hokuto sing song at her, Sakura shivered inwardly at this.
“Hai Tomoyo-chan, Hokuto-chan?” Tomoyo and Hokuto continued grinning at her.
“We want you to do something for us.” Tomoyo said as she caught hold of Sakura’s arm.
“And we want to see you in it.” Hokuto said as she grabbed hold of the other arm. Sakura swallowed nervously, if anything that is going to be scary, is that there are two Hokutos or two Tomoyos.
“Nani?” Hokuto and Tomoyo pulled Sakura into her bedroom to change into the outfits in there before meeting with Subaru, Sakura sighed resignedly and surrendered to them after struggling a bit, she would’ve called for help, but that would make it more awkward. Running sounded tempting as well, but they would’ve caught up to her anyway, magic or not.
3. (Kamui x Sakura, past Syaoran x Sakura) [X/1999 x Card Captor Sakura] [KXSSXSX139XCCS]

Title: Untitled - Couldn't think of a name for this one
Pairings: Shiro Kamui x Kinomoto Sakura - This idea of the pairing came in after reading, and re-reading Subaru x Sakura.
Other Pairings: Kinomoto Touya x Tsukishiro Yukito, past Syaoran x Sakura
Category: X/1999, Anime x Card Captor Sakura
Rating: T
Genre: Romance, Hurt/Comfort, a bit of angst
Warming: I'm sorry if the characters are a bit OOCness, but that's what made them fun to write about.
______________________________________
Kamui is usually a quiet person and though he may seem cold and ruthless to the people that know him, he is actually kind. Through this act and choice may make him feel lonely a bit, it makes him feel quite better knowing that his loved ones are safe. In retrospective, Kamui reminds Sakura of Yue and Syaoran. Yue for being quiet and lonely, and Syaoran when she first met him. Having enough of watching through dreams, she decides to make the first step in helping him making friends through that dream.
"You're that girl in my dreams?" Sakura is surprise at this; she didn’t realize that Kamui has been watching her through the dreams.
"Hai." Sakura gives him her normal smile, the one she always wore. He looked at her wary, since this is the first time he met her face to face.
"Who are you?" Kamui asked, kind green eyes looked at him. Slowly she walked up towards him until she stops, standing only a few feet away from him.
"A friend, my name is Kinomoto Sakura. What is yours?" Kamui hesitates his answer, not sure whether to trust the young girl in front of him. Though, he could feel such strong yet gentle power that surrounds her.
"My name is Shiro Kamui." Sakura blinked, she didn't notice any significance about his name, then she smiles gently at him.
"Kamui, that's a really nice name." He stares at her, feeling slight heat dusting his cheeks from the compliment.
“So Shiro-kun, what are you doing here inside this dream?” Kamui look at her, she seems to be somewhere around his age, and yet she radiated power. Then he remember the question, why is he in a dream?
“Memories…” Sakura look at him, she closes her eyes and concentrate with her magic before opening them.
“Those memories, they are sad and painful to you, aren't they?” Kamui look at her with surprise at seeing empathetic eyes; how was she able to tell?
“You’re memories. They shape who you currently are, they are part of your soul and heart.” Sakura said as she touched the place where her heart is.
“And the heart is the source that creates wishes, dreams, desires, emotions, weaknesses and strengths.” Kamui blink, for someone who may have the feel of innocence, isn’t very innocent, more rather she is just a bit naive.
“How do you know all of these?” Sakura just gave him a smile, then her image started to fade.
“Wait!” Kamui reached for her hand, only passing through her. She disappeared, but her voice whisper to him.
“I guess from experiences, I’ll see you next time in a dream, and perhaps in reality. So keep on hoping, I believe in everyone and that everything is going to be alright.”
From there, it’s a mere memory that stretched to other memories as he kept on meeting her through the dream world. It gave him the feeling of comfort and surprise to see that Sakura, is a powerful sorceress with the ability to control the forces of nature and those that seem to be impossible, and Sakura chose to use her powers for the people she care about. With her help, maybe facing the future isn't so bad after all...
________________________________________
Waking into a dream never felt this nice, especially when you have nightmares of your best friend stabbing you, the person you love died in front of you, or your friends dying one by one. Hands gently held him and his eyes flutter open to meet sad green eyes. She held his head on her lap; her tears dripped down and splashed lightly on his cheeks. He used his hand and whipped them away from her face gently.
“Why are you crying?” Sakura, noticing he is awake, tearfully smiles at him.
“I couldn't help you, you were suffering so much and I couldn't do anything. Even though I may be a powerful sorceress and I hold the cards passed down into my family, I couldn’t do anything to help and protect you and you're friends because I wasn’t there.” Kamui smiles sadly, he already knew she is a dream seer due to her magic in her and her inheritance. Kamui knows what she is feeling, even though he is Dragon of Heavens Kamui, he can still feel helpless and more often hopeless at the fact there is nothing he could do to help his friends from being in pain. Seeing her tears, made him feel comforted that there is someone other than Subaru are waiting for him when he wakes up from this dream.
“Thank you, for worrying about me.” Sakura look at him with eyes wide, but she smiles.
“You’re welcome.” A comforted silence echoed between them.
“Kamui-kun, I’ve decided that I’m going to help you in any way I can. My family already understands, my best friends as well. I’m thinking of coming over to Tokyo to help you.” His amethysts eyes widen, he sat up from her lap and look over his shoulder. She looks at him with a determine gaze, his hand reaches for her face; she allows him and leans into the comfort he provides her.
“What about Syaoran?” Sometimes, Kamui can see her dreams, her faint memories when she isn’t around. The most important person that is around, is a boy with brown hair and brown eyes. Sakura smile sadly at this, although Syaoran is dead, she knows that he would want her to do this.
“Syaoran would’ve wanted me to do this, but he isn’t around anymore.” He looked down, slightly ashamed and guilty that he brought up a painful memory to her.
“I’m sorry.” Sakura’s hand overlaps his, making him look at her with surprise that she is still smiling at him.
“Iie, it’s alright. I know that he is dead, but the memories of our time together will never fade away.” That was she said to him before he woke up in reality. Green eyes look at him with concern, the same shade as hers. Remembering the events, and her words, Kamui decided, if he were to create a kekkai, he would do it to protect her.

Ten years Past the Promised Day
The Earth's been healed, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and buildings are being repaired with new technologies that are environmentally friendly. The woman sitting on the porch, brown hair and green eyes, wearing a purple plaid dress shirt and black leggings, stares up at the skies. The woman wonders if the people who left them, are happy where they are now. She wonders if she has to worry about them being unrest.
"Mommy, guess what?" The voice of their child made her snap her attention to their son who is running up to her, her husband walking towards them slowly, and smiles softly at them. Brown hair and green eyes, completely innocent and naive compared to those who lived through the horrors of the war, people thought the child looks like a "Mini-Subaru" and constantly teased the older Subaru. This has started from the day when the child was baby, having the green eyes and a turf of brown hair, her husband jokingly suggest that should called him 'Subaru' due to how much they looked alike. Subaru, who is present at the day of their son's birth, choke and sputtered before looking at the couple as if they are crazy. Everybody laughed, especially the couple, and from that day on they still tease Subaru due to having a "Mini-Subaru" around, that he should join the family as a brother, even though that their son name is different.
"Ok, Haru-chan, what is it?" Six year-old Haruto pouted the woman chuckles at his adorableness.
"You haven't guessed yet mommy." The woman then decided to humor her son.
"Alright...I'm guessing...your dad told you something good, right?" Haruto brightened and nodded vigorously. He then proceed to tell his mother about the tale his father told him, about how a boy who met an angel through his dreams, how the angel and the boy prevent certain circumstances, how the boy saved the world with the angel and his friends, and how the boy and the angel fell in love with each other. Sakura smile with a blush on her cheeks, the tale that her husband told her son is very familiar to her. Her eyes met with her husband and paused, she could tell that her husband is a bit troubled. But first, Sakura look at Haruto with a kind smile.
"Wow that must be some tale. I'm sure I'll love to hear more of it later, but now Uncle Touya and Uncle Yukito just recently came back from Egypt. Why don't you go and meet them, ok Haru-chan?" Hearing two of his favorite uncles being here, Haruto nodded with a smile, and walked through the door, however it was in a fast pace.
Sakura continued to smile, and looked back at her husband. He wore a white shirt with navy blue pants. Her husband smiled back at her, before sitting down right next to her and gathering her in his arms. He rested his head on the crook of her neck; Sakura held one of his hands and lays her head on his.
"Feeling tired, Kamui?" Sakura giggled, when she felt him shook his head. His hair on her neck makes her giggle more.
"No, it’s just." Kamui tensed, worried, Sakura shifted so she could see his face. Letting go of his hand, she lets it wrap it around her waist to keep her steady. Her hand reached and touched his cheek, making him look at her with those amethyst eyes she fallen in love. Those eyes, held love for her and their son; however they also held the fear of her leaving him, the scars that never heal for Kamui being Dragon of Heaven to the Promised Day, and the sadness of losing a love one. Kamui's hand overlaps the one holding his cheek tenderly, keeping it there. Kamui stares back into the green eyes that capture his heart.
"Sometimes I have this fear that I feel like I've been dreaming, and when I wake up, you and Haru-chan aren't there. If I am dreaming, then I don't want to wake up from this dream." Sakura's heart went out for him; she also had that fear, the fear of waking up and finding out that he and their son aren't there, scares her. But they aren't dreaming, they are awake, she is real, and he is real. Wondering about the people that left them, can wait since they are dead or somewhere around the world, her family and her precious people are here, living, breathing, and existing. Sakura pulled Kamui into a kiss, he kissed her back. This is their reality, their dream, and they are alive and happy. Letting go of the kiss, Sakura leaned in to touch his forehead with hers; she closes her eyes and smiles at him.
"If I'm dreaming and if I wake up to find you and Haru-chan aren't there, I would come and look for you. Helping you heal, and wishing for the tomorrow to come after the Promised Day. You, Haruto-chan, Nii-san, Yukito-san, and everyone else that I cherish are living, breathing, and existing. From these reasons alone, allows me to push back that fear, and keep on living with you and Haruto-chan in this reality and our dream." As if to seal the promise, Sakura kisses his lips. Her lips, soft, warm, and alive brought him to their reality. From hearing her explanation gives him relief, and that reason alone is enough for him to push his own fear away. Kamui kisses her jaw line, then her neck, earning more giggles from her.
"Kamui, stop. What if Nii-san and Yukito-san comes?" He opens his right eye, they held mischief and he smirks playfully at her.
"Let them come." Sakura giggles and threads his chocolate hair with her fingers, Kamui went back to kissing her, and apparently her neck happens to be his favorite place to be.
"What about Haru-chan?" Kamui paused, before bringing his lips to a mere millimeter from hers.
"We have to lie to him until he is older." He whispers against her lips before kissing them, his tongue slips into her mouth and met with hers, teasing and playing. They would have done a full make-out session if it wasn't for Touya and Yukito. Touya, who coughed, glared at Kamui who glared back. Yukito blush in embarrassment, laugh nervously. Sakura smiles, it wasn't the time to think of the people who left them, it’s time to think of the people who needs, and the most of all, her family needs her.

Genre: Mostly Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Humor, Angst a bit of horror, friendship, tragedy, and supernatural.

Note: After reading some SubaruxSakura fics, which I admit is now one of my favorite crossovers pairing, I ended up having a weird craving for a SubaruxSakuraxKamui fic. So, um from that point on, I think the crack bug struck me again and made me imagine more, and more of them. I wanted sleep badly, so I'm going to do something about it. I swear whenever I think of crossover pairings, it leads to some that isn't there on FF. net. Which makes me wonder *rushes to the window and yells: WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE? 'cough'* I'm not sure if I put most of the characters in their characters, so um yeah. ^_^'' That said, let's begin with the collection.
Disclaimer: Honestly I don't want to do the disclaimer, but since I wrote several of crossover pairings and some of them are pairings just from the anime or yaoi. Half of them I have no idea where they come from, so I guess, I'll have to do it anyway.
Let's see:
- Card Captors Sakura, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles belong to CLAMP
- Yu-Gi-Oh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi
- NARUTO belongs to Massashi Kishimoto
- D. Gray-Man belongs to Katsura Hoshino
- DNAngel belongs to Yukiru Sugisaki
- Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou to Gosho Aoyama
- Kuroshitsuji belongs to Yana Toboso
- Pandora Hearts belongs to Jun Mochizuki
- 'Why' belongs to Ayaka
- 'You are my love' belongs to Yui Makino

______________________________________
Remembering when she was little, her other fear besides the spirits her brother talks about, was the darkness. What lurks beyond the black space always scares her. Kero once told her that the most mages that are dangerous and feared usually have shadow magic. However, as of now she looks at the hand given to her by an ancient Egyptian Spirit, a Prince, who wields a vast amount of shadow magic. Shadow magic equals to darkness, but the person in front of her, he stares at her with kind and honest eyes. Sharp lilac, with knowledge and power at his hand ready to strike at any enemy if needed, but in his eyes, his very soul, he can be trusted, he saved his world and friends a couple of times, but he is alone in the dark. She knows that light and darkness cannot be apart, no matter how many times people tried. To him, she is his star guiding him if he is lost. For her, he envelops her with warmth of the night like those during the summer. And so without any hesitation, she took his hand in hers, intertwining her fingers with his, and she was pulled into a warm embrace. He gives her something he hasn't done during his reign over Egypt. His love, not the love he has for his people in the past or the love for his friends, the love he has for her.

Subaru stared at the teen in front of him. Even though he is sixteen, and she is fourteen, even though he is an onmyoji, she however is a powerful sorceress. He could feel the innocent yet powerful and dangerous light magic that surrounds her. He becomes attracted to it since it is so hard to ignore it and it is also very welcoming.
"Sumeragi-sempai, am I doing this spell correctly?" He was startled out of his thoughts and looks into the emerald green eyes much like his own. Sakura had no clue on how to defend herself when it comes to going against spirits and/or demons, so Subaru, being the person he is, offered to teach. Seeing how close her face to his, his eyes landed on to her lips, he blushed and moved his head away a bit to get rid of the thought that enters his head that sounded strangely like his twin, Hokuto. Hokuto teased him for having a crush on Sakura, someone who is so innocent yet she has a big hope for the future. Seishiro noted that there is a change in Subaru, whenever the mention of Sakura, he blushed and become very self-conscious before looking around to see if she is there or not, truthfully he thought he was acting like a girl. If Sakura is around, he also tends to be a bit selfish or maybe extra selfless, which both Hokuto and Seishiro point out that he lacks when he is around them.
"Sumeragi-sempai?" Sakura tilted her head to the right innocently, however she is oblivious to the situation, making her a lot cuter.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry that I wasn't paying attention earlier. It seems my mind is on somewhere else." Sakura smiles understandingly.
"It's alright, it must be something important than today’s lesson." After that, both of them focus on the task at hand, although Subaru's mind is focusing on helping Sakura, it did add in a last fleeting thought. Not as important, as you. Once they are both done, Sakura bit her bottom lip and look down.
“Kinomoto-chan?” Subaru look at her in concern.
“Sumeragi-sempai, is it ok if I call you Subaru-kun?” Subaru blink and blush slightly red, noticing that Sakura too is a bit red as well.
“Um-I-well-Yes!” He said it loudly, mostly because of excitement, that it made Sakura jump and look at him in surprise. Realizing what he just did blush out of embarrassment, she giggled before smiling at him with a cheerful smile that it made his heart skip a beat.
“As long as you call me, Sakura-chan, I’m fine with it.” He stared at her smile before looking down and blush.
“Hai.” Seeing him a bit red, she leaned forward and covered his forehead with her hand, and doing the same with hers. Subaru blush a bit redder.
“Subaru-kun, are you alright?” He pulled away fast, making her a bit worried. Had she done something wrong? He gives her a soft smile.
“Iie, I’m fine.” More than fine with you around. His mind said happily. Both of them realizing how close their faces were and lean in, he watches her closes her eyes and he too closes his, tilting his head a bit, their lips nearly touching when they heard a scream and a crash. Eyes flew opened, faces red, and both back away, not looking at each other in embarrassment.
Damn it, I was so close. Inner Subaru said in Subaru’s head with waterfall tears.
I nearly kissed him. Sakura’s mind said as she unconsciously touched her lips in thinking of the near kiss and slightly disappointed at the fact that it didn’t happen.
“Um, are you free to hang out for tomorrow afternoon?” There, he said it; he wanted to go out with her.
“No, I’m afraid not.” That was so blunt and it sounds more of a rejection, that it would’ve made Subaru very depressed until he heard her say ‘but’.
“But, I have an idea.” He looked at her surprise with confusion at seeing her smiling at him. She put away the spells and ofudas in her bag next to her star book, before looking at him with an idea. “Meet me on the roof of our apartment at 10 tomorrow night. I have a surprise. I’ll see you there.” Then she left, tomorrow night would be interesting.
________________________________________
Tomorrow night
She is definitely late, and he is a bit worried. Thoughts like ‘is she alright?’ and ‘is she feeling well today?’ range to more depressing ones by minutes with ‘There is no way she is going to go out with me’ to ‘Would she laugh at me because of what I’m wearing today?’. His outfit consists of black sneakers, navy blue tight jeans, a Chinese style white shirt, and he still wear his gloves, which seems normal, too normal given the fact that he knows his own twin. Then he heard running footsteps, and panting like someone just ran up the stairs. He looked at the door, froze, and turned red. Sakura is dressed in a black buttoned up shirt with designs that are in white, a black tattered skirt, not that tattered, but then again some parts of it were ripped, showing white the lace underneath. There is also a black choker with white lace around her neck; she wore white stockings with black dress shoes, and white gloves. Considerably, she either looks gothic or Lolita, a very beautiful one at that too.
“I’m sorry I’m late, Subaru-kun. My best friend from Tomedea, decided to dress me up in one of the costumes made for me.” Sakura said, as she sheepishly gave her answer. Subaru felt sweat drip at the back of his head, he knew that feeling all too well because Hokuto made him wear clothes she designed, whenever knowing Sakura is going to be with them. Sakura chewed her bottom lip, before deciding to go with the idea of her previous plan for tonight. Hoping beyond hope no one saw besides Subaru, what she is doing, she took out her ‘Fly’ card.
“Sakura-chan?” Subaru look at her confused, wondering why she is holding out one of her magic cards out. Sakura look at him with a blush and smile.
“I want to thank you, for making me feel better when I first moved here, for helping me cheer up when I heard Syaoran cheated on me while I was away,” Subaru frowned at the name, but he kept on listening. “and for being there for me when I need your help on going against some of my fears.” Subaru blush at this. “You’ve given me so much; I want to return the favor.” The ‘Fly’ card in her hand glowed; the Star symbol appeared below her and glowed in a brilliant gold. Subaru watched in awe, Sakura did tell him who she is, but seeing this in first experience account is different. The card burst into rainbow colors, spreading around her and him, he could feel her magic softly touch against his own back. Once the flash lights dimmed, a paired of wings settled on her back, he looked at his own back and found a pair of wings.
“I want to share my experience in the sky with you.” Sakura blushed red when she said that, Subaru is also blushing at this, and he smiled.
“Thank you, Sakura-chan.” Sakura look up and beamed at him, before letting her own wings take her a bit up and she flew over to Subaru with her hand out. Wings out spread, her white gloved hand held out. He intake his own breath, she looks like an angel from the heavens, before he reaches her gloved hand with his black one. A startle contrast, black and white, yet they fit like yin and yang, he thought and smiled a bit. The wings on his back beat and a bit startled, he felt himself lift off the ground.
“I’m going to show you the world I grew to love.” They flew into the sky, and watched the city glow itself, the lights danced like fireflies, people hustling and bustling, chattering. Compare to the night sky filled with stars they both witness, this city can also be their stars in the sky. After having fun, with twists and turns, both are undisturbed in the night. For Subaru, the feeling of flying is weightless, pure adrenaline rush, and exciting. He never experienced, this before, and certainly not above Tokyo city at all. He looks at Sakura, and softly smiled. The glow around her, cast by the full moon hanged limply in the starless sky, made her look ethereal. Her kindness and gentleness are vast, her smiles that he treasures, the green eyes she has are so much like his own. He pulled her hand, she look at him with surprise. A true angel, she is, with the vast light and pure heat she has. He brought her hand to his cheek, while he moved his unoccupied hand to hers.
“I wanted to say something, since I first met you. It’s alright if you don’t have to return it after what happened with your ex, but…” Subaru stared at her with determine and gentle gaze, she stare in to him with curiosity and though she may not know, her heart quickens at knowing what is going to happen next. “I love you.” Sakura’s eyes widen at this. “I don’t care the fact that I can’t replace him, I don’t care the fact you are a powerful sorceress, and I don’t care the fact that I’m going to be the 13th head of the Sumeragi clan and someday soon I’m going to be a Dragon of Heaven. It doesn’t change the fact that I’ve fallen in love you. You and your magic attracted me; I couldn’t help but get drawn in.” He stops when he felt a pair of lips against his. He closes his own eyes and kisses back. The hand holding hers on his cheek, moves to her waist and pull her close, while hers reach for his, fingers intertwining with his. She pulled back with a blush.
“Thank you, for loving me. Even though I am not sure what to do after this, but I care for you, Subaru” Sakura blushes more when she said his name without a honorific, Subaru blush and felt his heart rose in hope. “I want to love you, and I’m willing to return those feelings you have for me fully, so will it be alright if we take this slowly?” Her only reply to that question is a soft kiss on her lips.
“For you, anything.” He whispers against her lips, and smiles at hearing her laugh with the endearing blush she currently has on her face.

Omake 1: Attempt on videotape
((A/N: The sudden thought of Tomoyo coming into the picture, I couldn’t resist doing it))
Tomoyo filmed the interaction between Subaru and Sakura. Hearing her cousin being tutored by an omnyoji, especially by a guy made her feel bittersweet for this. The fact that Sakura is being reached out by a guy who is in love with her after the incident with Syaoran, made her feel happy. It also made her sad, because she wants to be the one to do it. She love Sakrua for a long time, those feelings had once again resurfaced after the incident with Syaoran, but being the kind person she is. She doesn’t have the heart to do it as she sees Sakura reacting with Subaru. As long as Sakura is happy, she too is happy. While filming, she heard a movement coming from the bushes and blinked when the two other spies coming out. One who looked a lot like Subaru, but she is dressed femininely. Tomoyo guessed that perhaps Subaru and this person are twins. The other person looks like a doctor, a family friend perhaps. So she edged closer to hear what they are talking about.
“They look so cute together; don’t you think so, Sei-chan?” The twin said, the doctor hummed at this and nodded.
“Yes, they definitely do. When do you think the wedding is going to be?” Tomoyo’s eyebrow raised a bit high at this, before she softly giggled. That made the two aware as they look at her sharply with surprise.
“I’m sorry for surprising you, my name is Daidouji Tomoyo. I’m Sakura-chan’s best friend in Tomedea, and her cousin.” The twin and the doctor look with surprise, the twin decided to introduce herself while the doctor watch.
“My name is Sumeragi Hokuto, and this is Sakurazuka Seishiro. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Daidouji-chan.” Hokuto said.
“Just call me Tomoyo-chan.” Tomoyo said as she smiles at Hokuto.
“As long as you call me, Hokuto-chan.” Hokuto said as she returned the favor.
“So what are you doing here, Tomoyo-chan?” Tomoyo pointed towards her mini-video recorder in her hands.
“I decided to come and visit Sakura-chan, just to say hello. So when she said she is going to be tutored, I decided to follow secretly and film the whole thing.” Tomoyo sighed dramatically, and puts her hand on her own cheek. “If she said her tutor is a guy, I would have dressed her up for the occasion.” Tomoyo said as she sighed dramatically, Hokuto gasped at this. Seishiro took his eyes off the couple for a few minutes, look at Tomoyo and Hokuto; he inwardly shivered, before looking back at the couple. “Me too! I would’ve dressed Subaru for this occasion, but he is adamant that it’s only for tutoring, and not a date.” Both Tomoyo and Hokuto gasped, and clasped each other’s hand.
“I think this would be the start of a beautiful friendship.” They would’ve held each other hands and discuss more when Seishiro’s golden eyes widen through his glasses.
“They’re going to do it.” Hokuto and Tomoyo froze, before Tomoyo scrambled to see through her video recorder. Using the zoom button, her eyes widen and nearly squealed in the kawainess of this. Hokuto look over Tomoyo’s shoulder, and Seishiro looked over their shoulders. Then the scramble for the video camera begins. Somehow one of them ended up screaming after falling, and then they end up on top of one another in a crash. The spy group groaned in disappointment, there is no doubt that Sakura and Subaru heard it, and most likely embarrassed of what they were almost doing. Tomoyo sighed at this. Well, there is always next time. Turns out, next time is much sooner.
________________________________________
Omake 2: Double Trouble
Sakura gulped at this, Hokuto had given Subaru the clothes he would wear later, came over to her apartment with a couple of bags, and she and Tomoyo had been giving each other a grin. She knew that grin is going to be similar to asking for trouble, when it comes to designing costumes.
“Sakura-chan…”Tomoyo and Hokuto sing song at her, Sakura shivered inwardly at this.
“Hai Tomoyo-chan, Hokuto-chan?” Tomoyo and Hokuto continued grinning at her.
“We want you to do something for us.” Tomoyo said as she caught hold of Sakura’s arm.
“And we want to see you in it.” Hokuto said as she grabbed hold of the other arm. Sakura swallowed nervously, if anything that is going to be scary, is that there are two Hokutos or two Tomoyos.
“Nani?” Hokuto and Tomoyo pulled Sakura into her bedroom to change into the outfits in there before meeting with Subaru, Sakura sighed resignedly and surrendered to them after struggling a bit, she would’ve called for help, but that would make it more awkward. Running sounded tempting as well, but they would’ve caught up to her anyway, magic or not.

______________________________________
Kamui is usually a quiet person and though he may seem cold and ruthless to the people that know him, he is actually kind. Through this act and choice may make him feel lonely a bit, it makes him feel quite better knowing that his loved ones are safe. In retrospective, Kamui reminds Sakura of Yue and Syaoran. Yue for being quiet and lonely, and Syaoran when she first met him. Having enough of watching through dreams, she decides to make the first step in helping him making friends through that dream.
"You're that girl in my dreams?" Sakura is surprise at this; she didn’t realize that Kamui has been watching her through the dreams.
"Hai." Sakura gives him her normal smile, the one she always wore. He looked at her wary, since this is the first time he met her face to face.
"Who are you?" Kamui asked, kind green eyes looked at him. Slowly she walked up towards him until she stops, standing only a few feet away from him.
"A friend, my name is Kinomoto Sakura. What is yours?" Kamui hesitates his answer, not sure whether to trust the young girl in front of him. Though, he could feel such strong yet gentle power that surrounds her.
"My name is Shiro Kamui." Sakura blinked, she didn't notice any significance about his name, then she smiles gently at him.
"Kamui, that's a really nice name." He stares at her, feeling slight heat dusting his cheeks from the compliment.
“So Shiro-kun, what are you doing here inside this dream?” Kamui look at her, she seems to be somewhere around his age, and yet she radiated power. Then he remember the question, why is he in a dream?
“Memories…” Sakura look at him, she closes her eyes and concentrate with her magic before opening them.
“Those memories, they are sad and painful to you, aren't they?” Kamui look at her with surprise at seeing empathetic eyes; how was she able to tell?
“You’re memories. They shape who you currently are, they are part of your soul and heart.” Sakura said as she touched the place where her heart is.
“And the heart is the source that creates wishes, dreams, desires, emotions, weaknesses and strengths.” Kamui blink, for someone who may have the feel of innocence, isn’t very innocent, more rather she is just a bit naive.
“How do you know all of these?” Sakura just gave him a smile, then her image started to fade.
“Wait!” Kamui reached for her hand, only passing through her. She disappeared, but her voice whisper to him.
“I guess from experiences, I’ll see you next time in a dream, and perhaps in reality. So keep on hoping, I believe in everyone and that everything is going to be alright.”
From there, it’s a mere memory that stretched to other memories as he kept on meeting her through the dream world. It gave him the feeling of comfort and surprise to see that Sakura, is a powerful sorceress with the ability to control the forces of nature and those that seem to be impossible, and Sakura chose to use her powers for the people she care about. With her help, maybe facing the future isn't so bad after all...
________________________________________
Waking into a dream never felt this nice, especially when you have nightmares of your best friend stabbing you, the person you love died in front of you, or your friends dying one by one. Hands gently held him and his eyes flutter open to meet sad green eyes. She held his head on her lap; her tears dripped down and splashed lightly on his cheeks. He used his hand and whipped them away from her face gently.
“Why are you crying?” Sakura, noticing he is awake, tearfully smiles at him.
“I couldn't help you, you were suffering so much and I couldn't do anything. Even though I may be a powerful sorceress and I hold the cards passed down into my family, I couldn’t do anything to help and protect you and you're friends because I wasn’t there.” Kamui smiles sadly, he already knew she is a dream seer due to her magic in her and her inheritance. Kamui knows what she is feeling, even though he is Dragon of Heavens Kamui, he can still feel helpless and more often hopeless at the fact there is nothing he could do to help his friends from being in pain. Seeing her tears, made him feel comforted that there is someone other than Subaru are waiting for him when he wakes up from this dream.
“Thank you, for worrying about me.” Sakura look at him with eyes wide, but she smiles.
“You’re welcome.” A comforted silence echoed between them.
“Kamui-kun, I’ve decided that I’m going to help you in any way I can. My family already understands, my best friends as well. I’m thinking of coming over to Tokyo to help you.” His amethysts eyes widen, he sat up from her lap and look over his shoulder. She looks at him with a determine gaze, his hand reaches for her face; she allows him and leans into the comfort he provides her.
“What about Syaoran?” Sometimes, Kamui can see her dreams, her faint memories when she isn’t around. The most important person that is around, is a boy with brown hair and brown eyes. Sakura smile sadly at this, although Syaoran is dead, she knows that he would want her to do this.
“Syaoran would’ve wanted me to do this, but he isn’t around anymore.” He looked down, slightly ashamed and guilty that he brought up a painful memory to her.
“I’m sorry.” Sakura’s hand overlaps his, making him look at her with surprise that she is still smiling at him.
“Iie, it’s alright. I know that he is dead, but the memories of our time together will never fade away.” That was she said to him before he woke up in reality. Green eyes look at him with concern, the same shade as hers. Remembering the events, and her words, Kamui decided, if he were to create a kekkai, he would do it to protect her.
________________________________________
Ten years Past the Promised Day
The Earth's been healed, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and buildings are being repaired with new technologies that are environmentally friendly. The woman sitting on the porch, brown hair and green eyes, wearing a purple plaid dress shirt and black leggings, stares up at the skies. The woman wonders if the people who left them, are happy where they are now. She wonders if she has to worry about them being unrest.
"Mommy, guess what?" The voice of their child made her snap her attention to their son who is running up to her, her husband walking towards them slowly, and smiles softly at them. Brown hair and green eyes, completely innocent and naive compared to those who lived through the horrors of the war, people thought the child looks like a "Mini-Subaru" and constantly teased the older Subaru. This has started from the day when the child was baby, having the green eyes and a turf of brown hair, her husband jokingly suggest that should called him 'Subaru' due to how much they looked alike. Subaru, who is present at the day of their son's birth, choke and sputtered before looking at the couple as if they are crazy. Everybody laughed, especially the couple, and from that day on they still tease Subaru due to having a "Mini-Subaru" around, that he should join the family as a brother, even though that their son name is different.
"Ok, Haru-chan, what is it?" Six year-old Haruto pouted the woman chuckles at his adorableness.
"You haven't guessed yet mommy." The woman then decided to humor her son.
"Alright...I'm guessing...your dad told you something good, right?" Haruto brightened and nodded vigorously. He then proceed to tell his mother about the tale his father told him, about how a boy who met an angel through his dreams, how the angel and the boy prevent certain circumstances, how the boy saved the world with the angel and his friends, and how the boy and the angel fell in love with each other. Sakura smile with a blush on her cheeks, the tale that her husband told her son is very familiar to her. Her eyes met with her husband and paused, she could tell that her husband is a bit troubled. But first, Sakura look at Haruto with a kind smile.
"Wow that must be some tale. I'm sure I'll love to hear more of it later, but now Uncle Touya and Uncle Yukito just recently came back from Egypt. Why don't you go and meet them, ok Haru-chan?" Hearing two of his favorite uncles being here, Haruto nodded with a smile, and walked through the door, however it was in a fast pace.
Sakura continued to smile, and looked back at her husband. He wore a white shirt with navy blue pants. Her husband smiled back at her, before sitting down right next to her and gathering her in his arms. He rested his head on the crook of her neck; Sakura held one of his hands and lays her head on his.
"Feeling tired, Kamui?" Sakura giggled, when she felt him shook his head. His hair on her neck makes her giggle more.
"No, it’s just." Kamui tensed, worried, Sakura shifted so she could see his face. Letting go of his hand, she lets it wrap it around her waist to keep her steady. Her hand reached and touched his cheek, making him look at her with those amethyst eyes she fallen in love. Those eyes, held love for her and their son; however they also held the fear of her leaving him, the scars that never heal for Kamui being Dragon of Heaven to the Promised Day, and the sadness of losing a love one. Kamui's hand overlaps the one holding his cheek tenderly, keeping it there. Kamui stares back into the green eyes that capture his heart.
"Sometimes I have this fear that I feel like I've been dreaming, and when I wake up, you and Haru-chan aren't there. If I am dreaming, then I don't want to wake up from this dream." Sakura's heart went out for him; she also had that fear, the fear of waking up and finding out that he and their son aren't there, scares her. But they aren't dreaming, they are awake, she is real, and he is real. Wondering about the people that left them, can wait since they are dead or somewhere around the world, her family and her precious people are here, living, breathing, and existing. Sakura pulled Kamui into a kiss, he kissed her back. This is their reality, their dream, and they are alive and happy. Letting go of the kiss, Sakura leaned in to touch his forehead with hers; she closes her eyes and smiles at him.
"If I'm dreaming and if I wake up to find you and Haru-chan aren't there, I would come and look for you. Helping you heal, and wishing for the tomorrow to come after the Promised Day. You, Haruto-chan, Nii-san, Yukito-san, and everyone else that I cherish are living, breathing, and existing. From these reasons alone, allows me to push back that fear, and keep on living with you and Haruto-chan in this reality and our dream." As if to seal the promise, Sakura kisses his lips. Her lips, soft, warm, and alive brought him to their reality. From hearing her explanation gives him relief, and that reason alone is enough for him to push his own fear away. Kamui kisses her jaw line, then her neck, earning more giggles from her.
"Kamui, stop. What if Nii-san and Yukito-san comes?" He opens his right eye, they held mischief and he smirks playfully at her.
"Let them come." Sakura giggles and threads his chocolate hair with her fingers, Kamui went back to kissing her, and apparently her neck happens to be his favorite place to be.
"What about Haru-chan?" Kamui paused, before bringing his lips to a mere millimeter from hers.
"We have to lie to him until he is older." He whispers against her lips before kissing them, his tongue slips into her mouth and met with hers, teasing and playing. They would have done a full make-out session if it wasn't for Touya and Yukito. Touya, who coughed, glared at Kamui who glared back. Yukito blush in embarrassment, laugh nervously. Sakura smiles, it wasn't the time to think of the people who left them, it’s time to think of the people who needs, and the most of all, her family needs her.
