Piffle World

Early hours of the morning. Sakura uncomfortably tossed and turned under her light sheets, whining quietly out into the silent air.

“…aoran-kun… Sy… aor…”

Seconds later, she shot up from her bed into a sitting position, looking flushed and terrified. She crossed her arms over her chest as her heart thumped against her ribs. Tonight had been another night where she had been having recent strange nightmares about glowing wings, an hourglass, collapsing rocks and Syaoran…

“Syaoran-kun…”

She couldn’t sleep like this anymore. Sakura left her bed and her room. She wandered almost blindly through the dark halls of the house, searching for the one room belonging to the person who always made her feel safe.

Syaoran’s room

Syaoran slept peacefully in his large bed, dreaming of nothing but his precious Sakura-hime. He began to slowly awaken though, as he felt something moving beside him and pressing down softly onto his chest.

His ambers tiredly glanced over towards the window. The reflected silver light of the moon shone through and provided him with the ability to see around the room without having to turn on his bedside lamp. Syaoran looked down, and his cheeks instantly heated up as he recognised that it was his Hime who had wrapped herself up under his right arm and rested her light head upon his bare chest.

“H-hime…” He choked out quietly in panic.

He didn’t dare to move. As far as he could tell, the thin silk nightdress she had on was all that she was wearing, and this just happened to be the one night he made the decision to sleep in only his boxers. Any sudden movements may be a bad idea…

Syaoran rested back on his pillow, trying his best to calm down. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, before reopening to take another glance down at his Hime. Sakura looked so adorable, sleeping tranquilly down beside him with pink tinted cheeks and a possessive arm draping over his stomach.

As much as he’d hate himself for disturbing her, he needed to find out why she was here.

“Hime.” He gave her a gentle, light shake.

“Syaoran-kun…?” Sakura’s eyes gradually opened, and wearily she looked up to Syaoran. From the look he was giving her, she began to wonder if doing this was such a good idea.

“Hime, is there something the matter?”

“I couldn’t sleep,” Her voice was silent with a hint of embarrassment “I had a horrible nightmare.”

“A nightmare?” Syaoran asked in a quiet voice, his eyes showing real concern. “Is… that why you are here with me?”

She nodded slowly, and her cheeks reddened deeper.

“I-I’m really sorry, Syaoran-kun,” She spoke as if she’d caused him so much trouble “I shouldn’t have… got in without asking…”

Sakura began to shift away from him slightly, but his arm prevented her from moving any further away.

“Stay with me,” He whispered soothingly into her ear “And nothing will ever harm you.”

Syaoran flung his other arm around her, and brought Sakura into a tight, protective embrace. This action didn’t go without flaring blushes from the both of them, and the two then curled up together like kittens.

‘Always protecting me, always making me feel safe… thank you, Syaoran-kun.’ Sakura delightfully sighed as she snuggled up into his warm, caring hold.

She eventually drifted back to sleep, and began to remember another time she had nightmares…

----------

It was the middle of the night in the country of Clow. A cute little twelve year old Sakura-hime stood beside a large empty bed in one of the many castle guestrooms, apparently occupied by someone related to the famous archaeologist Fujitaka. This relative was being kindly watched over by the royal family as Fujitaka currently took part in a dangerous excavation in one of the many far off countries.

“I-I couldn’t sleep,” Sakura clutched a small, hand made teddy bear tightly to her chest as she spoke shakily and slowly. Her bear’s name was , named dearly after the person who made it for her. “I had a horrible nightmare.”

She was talking to the empty bed. There was obviously no reply to her pleas.

, can I stay with you tonight, please?” she asked the empty space hopefully, her cheeks glowing a light pink. Once again, no reply.

“Really?” She smiled gratefully “Thank you so much, .”

She lifted the edge of the light quilt, and hurriedly slid underneath the covers. A great amount of warmth swept over her, just as if she was being held in someone’s arms.

“I always feel safe when I’m with you.” Sakura delightfully sighed as she clutched her bear tightly and snuggled up into the warm space.

“Stay with me, and nothing will ever harm you.”

Sakura shyly looked up. The empty space began to fill with a shadow, which gradually began to take up a real human form. It all happened slowly, giving Sakura more time to recognise the form’s growing familiar features.

‘It…it can’t be…’

The shadow turned into a handsome young chocolate haired boy with amber eyes. This boy resting beside her… holding her… making her feel warm and secure… whispering soothing words into her ear… it was really…

The same thing happened as she thought further back. The empty chair at her birthday party, the young boy being introduced to her by her otousan and Fujitaka in the castle hallway… the missing pieces, the gaps in all of her previously returned memories… they were all being filled with memories of Syaoran.

Her dearest friend…the one who she instantly fell in love with upon their first meeting…

----------

Sakura’s eyes flew open as her weariness disappeared instantly.

“Syaoran.”

He had yet to fall asleep, considering his Hime had been having nightmares. Syaoran wanted to stay awake all night so he could be ready to comfort her anytime she needed to be. He felt her shuffling in his arms, so he held her tighter. A few seconds later, he heard a slight mumble from her.

As Syaoran looked down, Sakura’s head shot up and she pressed her lips against his.

Syaoran’s eyes widened in shock and surprise, while his head whirled like a tornado. It didn’t take him too long though to calm down and relax into the kiss. Without breaking away, Sakura rolled him onto his back and crawled up onto him.

Tears streaked down her cheeks and dripped over his. He pulled her closer with his right arm, and his left hand buried in her soft auburn hair. She wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her mouth, allowing him to slide his tongue inside.

Minutes passed before they finally broke apart from their very first kiss. Glossy-eyed and breathing hard, Sakura buried her face into Syaoran’s neck, and continued to shed her tears.

“I know… I now know why you try so hard… to help me…” She mumbled in between her cries “You… you are the one… from my memories… my dearest friend… my most precious person… my Syaoran…”

Syaoran neither knew what to say or do. How could she remember him all of a sudden? He paid his price…

“Hime…?”

“Sakura, 221; She raised her head and looked blissfully into his eyes “Please… please call me Sakura again, Syaoran…”

He didn’t know why or how this was happening. Even so, a truly joyful smile grew on his face. Syaoran closed his eyes, and tightened his hold on Sakura.

“Sakura… my Sakura…”

Syaoran kissed her cheek, then covered her mouth with another deep kiss.

In another dimension

“Aw, isn’t that adorable?”

A woman with long black hair sat on a sofa by a large viewing portal, watching the young couple’s activities with a saké bottle in one of her hands. This was the space time witch, Yuuko.

“Are they allowed to do that?” Watunaki asked from across the room as he dusted off the shelves. “Didn’t you take that girl’s memories of him as payment?”

“That is true…but I have decided that the payment will not take effect until all of the memories have been collected.”

“Since when?”

“Since Mokona and the magician contacted me. They were concerned about the way Syaoran-kun was behaving, so they asked if I could do something to help cheer him up a bit.”

“Really?” Watanuki looked curiously over his shoulder. “What’s the price?”

“The price…” She reached beside the sofa and whipped up a large crate filled to the brim with alcoholic drinks “They’d promised to send me a new crate from every world they visit! That’s a good enough price to pay!”

“Okay…” Watunaki raised an eyebrow “But why are you watching them? Couldn’t you give them some privacy?”

“Well…” She dropped the box back down “They’re just look so cute together!”

Watunaki sighed and shook his head.

“It’s people like you who give perversion a bad name.”

Yuuko ignored his comment and turned her attention back to the window.

“In any case, Syaoran-kun will spend less time moping around and more time being happy with his adorable little girlfriend. The happier he is, the faster he will collect the memories and the payment will be collected.”

“He won’t be so happy once she forgets him again.”

“I’ll only be taking away the memories prior to the journey,” Yuuko moved closer over the window for a better view of Syaoran and Sakura “I won’t let either of them forget this time they spent together…”

A/n: Just to let you know, that xxxholic ending (I’m sorry it was bad, I haven’t actually read many of the mangas) was an alternate ending. Other ending is the next chapter (LEMON!).

Anyways, let me know what you thought of this.
