[ After the first large evacuation, and the dysfunctional state of his Dreamberry, Syaoran had been completely on the edge for his friends, and even more so for Sakura. He had grown so attached to the little girl, and through her connection to his Princess, he took it upon himself to want to protect her.

So now that the Dreamberry was finally starting to work (he had tried to use it multiple times in attempts to reach her) you now have one really worried brunette on the other side of the screen. ]

Sakura-chan, are you alright? Please answer me back as soon as you are able!

[ Pick up pick up pick up ;u; ]

I hope you are okay...

[ The young girl answers; the Dreamberry is sitting beside her, but you don't see her face; just traces of her hair and shoulder as she sits on a bench outside. ]

...Sakura-chan, speaking...

[ Her voice is faint. Distant. ]

[ Oh, thank goodness! Relief instantly washes over his face when he hears her voice but... wait. Something seems a little off. ]

... Sakura-chan? [ It didn't take long for that relief to turn into worry. Had seen been hurt? Did something happen? Why couldn't he see her face?? ]

Did something happen? What's wrong? [ The screen jostles for a moment as he stands. DON'T MAKE HIM COME FIND YOU- ]

...Li-kun... he...

Didn't come back... he didn't make it...[ And she sniffles. Wheezes. ] h-here...

[ Silence.

With each broken word his heart began to sink. Li-kun... never made it back? Could he have been caught in the explosion? There was little he could really say to comfort, but Syaoran tried to scramble through his own distorted thoughts for something to say.

But Li-kun... could he have really...? ]

I... I'm so sorry. [ His eyes move away from the feed, slowly beginning to feel his stomach knot up. ] Though there is a chance Li-kun will come back. He might...—

I should have b-been... watching after him better... I should have...

...I-I could have helped him...

[ There is agony in her voice; crystal clear, and painful to hear, coming from a voice that was usually filled with so much carefree joy. She had only felt this pain once before; during the Final Judgement... losing such an important friend... ]

I-I wasn't... good enough... was I...? I wasn't strong enough...!

No! [ Head whipping back towards the screen, Syaoran's gaze became desperate. He had never seen her like this before. Always so carefree and smiling... but this. This was horrible.

She was there for him when he was depressed, and Syaoran was going to do the same for her! ] Sakura-chan, it's not like that at all! You did nothing wrong!

What happened for Somarium was completely out of our hands. You did the best you could do... [ He doesn't want you to feel pain. He wants to take it all away- ] You are very strong, one of the strongest people I know. But right now you have to be even stronger for Li-kun.

S-Sakura! Sakura it's awful! I simply don't understand!

Wh-whoa, Alice-chan! What's this suddenly?!

He took it! He stole it, Sakura!

Stole what? Who? Alice-chan, I might be able to help you, but you have to calm down!

T-that wretched brute you insist is a decent human being instead of the monster he actually is! Sasuke stole my first kiss!

Wr-wretched is kind of--

[ But then the word Sasuke came up. And... ]

E-eh...? Sasuke-san? [ She seemed to hesitate suddenly when his name came up. That... she hadn't spoken to him in a long time. But why... ]

Did he... really do that?

Why on earth would I lie about that brute stealing my first kiss?

Er... I guess you wouldn't! [ She was really upset! ]

It's gone! And to him of all people.

How could you like such a beast! He's an awful, dreadful.... MONSTER!

[ There was a pause. Sakura remained silent for a bit before speaking. ]

Alice-chan.... have you ever read the story Beauty and the Beast? Its about a girl who gets trapped in a castle with a horrible monster, and she is forced to deal with him every day.

Do you know it?

I do. I also know that the beast was a prince. Sasuke is no prince. And he's not decent on the inside either.

I hate him.

But Alice-chan...

The people of the village couldn't see beyond the Beast's outside, either, but Beauty could. Just because you cant see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

I bet Sasuke-san doesn't know all of the great things about you. Unless you're admitting all the things he says about you are true.

The Beast of the story didn't go around stealing first kisses after forcibly hurting them!

I am not anything he says I am. But his actions still speak louder than your words! He insults me, he hurts me, and then he took my first kiss without so much as a sorry.

...But why did he take it?

...Does he like you, Alice-chan?

We were under the mistletoe and I refused to kiss him.

...Is that it?

I... can talk to him, if you want. [ She had a strange feeling there was more to it than that, but given her friends personality.... ]

You can, if you like. But I want nothing to do with that jerk.

[ Watanuki has left a small pink box with strawberry chiffon cake in it and a small note saying Happy Valentine's Day ]

Sakura! Sakura it happened! I had a proper first kiss and it was absolutely wonderful! He was a gentleman and so sweet and it was the perfect sort of setting!

E-eh...?! [ What! Alice already had her first kiss?! ] Really?! Who?! When?! [ Deets, girl! ]

Well, it was at the Valentine's Day dance and it was with Blood Dupre! He's one of the Hatters but he had an age card that turned him ten. Oh he was such a gentleman and we danced for several songs. Nothing like the ten year olds in my class. And he was very kind and considerate. Oh it was so romantic, Sakura.

...An age card... [ ...Did... that count? ]

Th-that's good though! But isn't he back to normal now...?

Oh yes, but I did ask him if was alright, and he asked me the same. [It counts, in Alice's eyes.]

And... well, yes he is. But I wasn't kissing the older Mr. Blood, I was kissing the younger Blood. When you get a card of youth you actually do become your younger self. He was as much a gentleman then as he is now.

[ Feeling too ashamed for how he acted, Sasuke only sends a simple message. ]

Happy birthday.

[ For now, she sends one back. ]

Thank you.

Sakura, it's Sasuke...I...I have a mission I need to go on tomorrow. I wanted you to know, you may not see me for a few days.

Eh?! Oh a mission...? For the police force, right?

Where are you going?

Defense force now...

[ Minor correction and really it amounts to the same thing. ]

Yeah...I don't know if you saw the video that went out.

[ Sasuke hoped not, if she had she'd only be more scared. ]

But there's something on the mountain and it may have taken or hurt someone else who's up there.

Oh the mountain? [ The one they went hiking on? That only made her worried. ] ...I hope they're all right then...

But... does that mean that... you're going up there?

Yes, it's Kid's orders.

[ Not that he couldn't flat out deny, but this was his job now and he would follow through. ]

Is it just you?

No, someone named Shepard is meeting me.

[ He couldn't recall meeting them, but he hoped they could be counted on, if not he'd just have to count on himself. ]

[ She was quiet for a bit. ]

And Kin? You're not taking Kin up there with you, are you?

He's my partner...

[ There's a bit of a pause. ]

Hoe?

I'm your partner, and I'm not going up the mountain, am I?

[ That made Sasuke blush. He looked away, not saying anything for a moment. ]

I wouldn't want you up there...

but fine, have it your way. I'll swing by and drop him off before I head up.

Okay. [ Sakura: 1, Sasuke: 0 ]

...Promise me you'll come back safely, all right?

[ Why is he losing so much lately? ]

I promise.

...

I... [ Love you. ]

...I'll see you later.

[ Sasuke nodded, not thinking for a moment that it might not be true. ]

You can count on it.

[ He disconnected without another word, only giving her one of those smiles that was just for her. ]
