7: Everlasting Kiss

He slammed on the brakes, causing both Kero--- the plush mouse and Yue--- the plush bunny to tumble to the ground off of Sakura's lap, making the two of them wake up abruptly. Eriol wasn't even concerned about the two guardians. He was much more focused on Sakura and what she'd just said. "Are you serious?"

She nodded shyly, unsure if his reaction was good or not. It didn't seem bad to her. "Yes," she said in a soft voice. "Didn't you feel that feeling like an electric shock?" He nodded. "I've never have had that feeling before, have you?"

Catching her gaze, he said in a husky voice, overcome by the wonderment that she returned his feelings for her, however partial it was, "Yes, I've had the feeling before, but only for you thought. I had the feeling years ago when I first met you."

She was mesmerized by the passion in his voice, but his words made the excitement pounding inside of her not all ecstatic joy. "Why didn't you tell me then?"

"Because," he explained in a tender tone, "you didn't feel anything for me then. You felt something for my descendent instead, and I thought he felt something for you, so how could I interfere?"

Kero and Yue had been about to complain about Eriol's poor driving skills when their ears perked up when they caught the intriguing progression of the conversation above them. Yue had always had the suspicion that Eriol liked Sakura. After all, hadn't Eriol retained all his memories of being Clow Reed? And hadn't Clow Reed been able to see the future?

He suspected that Clow Reed had seen the future and had liked what he'd seen to the degree that he'd started planning everything perfectly so that he'd be reincarnated in the future that he desired. It made sense to why Clow Reed had decided to forsake Eternity for this Eternity. He hadn't understood back then, but he comprehended now.

Kero was a bit shocked that Eriol liked Sakura, but then again he didn't mind if Eriol liked Sakura as long as it wasn't that Li Syaoran who had disappeared years ago and had hurt his Sakura so badly. He'd tried to tell his Mistress that that Li Syaoran boy was no good, but did she ever listen to him? No, absolutely not. But at least now, she had found someone that could make her happy. That pleased him immensely.

"So what do you say?" he inquired lightly, trying not to make it seem like a big deal, but it was indeed a very big deal. "Will you go out with me? I really do like you."

He couldn't believe how easily the words flew out of his mouth. For the past several years, he'd struggled with his feelings and now it was so simple. He'd wasted those years, but he was certainly not going to waste the years ahead that they had. If things went perfectly, if things went well... they had many, many a years before they even had to worry about anything.

Sakura felt a warmth take over her heart. This feeling of liking Eriol seemed strange at first, but as time moved on, it made more and more sense for her that he did like her for a long time. And she had liked him when she first saw him, though she'd always had a strange feeling about him. The strange feeling was that electricity between them. "Yes."

There was an overwhelming joy that made him cup her face impulsively and give her a soft, gentle kiss. The kiss was like velvet, though passionate it remained smooth and comforting. Slowly, Sakura opened her lips barely, which allowed Eriol's tongue to dive in, tasting her sweet flavor. He chuckled at Sakura's shy tongue that dodged his playfully until finally touching his. He wanted to groan with desire, but he was satisfied with everything right now.

It'd been his dream since many a year ago. He was finally living it now and how wondrous it was. It was more than he'd ever believe was possible. It was beyond anything he'd dream. This kiss symbolized how truly passionate and loving he knew their relationship would be. It went far beyond passion too, yes, he had a passion for her, but it was more that their souls matched.

The first time he had seen her in his visions of the future, he'd been charmed by the adorable baby she was, the adorable girl that she grew up to be, the adorable woman she'd be. In his arms now, he couldn't believe how blessed he was go be holding the most beautiful sorceress in the world. He'd never let her go. And one day, he'd tell her exactly how much he already loved her.

Below Sakura's knees, Yue and Kero were holding each other's paws, dancing around in a circle with their joy. They'd witness first hand the first kiss the two of them had exchanged. Both were beyond overjoyed by the turn of events, they couldn't wait for the relationship to progress fufther. While they waited, they decided they'd let their joy do a little dancing for them!

"I'm so glad that everything went well," Touya declared, wrapping his arms around Yukito's slender form. "And I'm glad that this happened, even though I was so worried that something would go wrong."

Yukito giggled, which brought a smile onto Touya's lips. "You should know that Sakura would never let anything happen to me, you know how much she loves you and cares for you."

Touya nodded. "I realize that. She also loves you and cares for you a lot, too, Yuki."

Yukito smiled. He pulled away from Touya's arms and looked up at his lover. "You know what? I always thought Yue would be more dignified than he is. I never thought he'd fall trying to fly."

The windows in Eriol's car had become steamed over from how hot their kiss was getting. They hadn't broken apart from each other yet. Yue and Kero had stopped dancing, taking a seat on the dashboard to get an even better look at the show. Kero actually had to lift Yue up to the dashboard, since Yue's wings still weren't functioning well enough to give him more than five second flight ability.

"I'll betcha anything they kiss for another hour," Kero remarked.

"How long has it been so far?" Yue asked.

Kero glanced from left to right. "I dunno," he answered, "but ti's been a long while."

"I'll take the bet." Kero grinned and as Yue watched the grin spread on Kero's face, he grimaced. "I'm so not acting like myself."

"You know," Kero commented reflectively, "we're both much more dignified in our true forms."

Yue sweatdropped.

Eriol and Sakura continued in their oblivion to kiss.

- The Story End -

Omake: When Yuki is a Bunny?!

The smoke still hadn't cleared so nobody in the room could tell yet if things had gone right or not until Yukito cried out in a little squeaky, kawaii voice, "Something's wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Touya asked, alarmed.

"I have fur!" Yukito exclaimed.

Everyone blinked as they witnessed a beautiful Yue in his natural guardian form and the poor Yukito in the plush bunny form. Touya quickly gathered Yukito into his arms and shouted at Eriol, "WHAT IN THE HELL WENT WRONG?"

Eriol sweatdropped. Sakura sweatdropped. Ruby, Spinel, and Kero fell to the ground laughing because Yukito was squirming in Touya's hands. "That tickles!" Yukito giggled. "Oh, that tickles!"

It wasn't long before the rest of the room burst out with laughter.

All Good Things Must End.

But Not Quite Yet.

Cast Interview with the Stars of ETERNITY.

Yih: Hello, Ladies and Gentleman, I--- Yih, the humble producer, director, and scriptwriter would like to proudly introduce the two main stars of ETERNITY, Ms. Sakura playing Sakura and Mr. Eriol playing Eriol!

(APPLAUSE)

Eriol and Sakura hand in hand walk out onto the stage.

Yih: Good evening, Ms Sakura and Mr. Eriol.

Sakura: Good evening.

Eriol: (nods)

Yih: Let's get right to the interview, shall we?

They both nod.

Yih: Ms. Sakura, playing yourself ten years hence or so, how did you feel falling for Mr. Eriol?

Sakura: (blushes deeply) I felt nervous at first, then I got use to acting and well...

Yih: Did you fall for him?

Sakura: (tomato red)

Yih: (turns to Eriol) How do you feel about Ms. Sakura?

Eriol: (also blushes) The same as she feels for me.

Yih: It was said that during ETERNITY, you fell for each other, is that or is that not true?

Eriol and Sakura: (both are EXTREMELY red)

Yih: Please, pretty please answer?

Eriol: yes...

Yih: AWESOME! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

Eriol and Sakura: (sweatdrop)

Yih: So did your other co-stars, Mr. Yue, Mr. Kero, Mr. Ruby, Mr. Spinel, Mr. Touya, and Mr. Yukito also continue their relationships?

They both nodded in the affirmative.

Yih: I must say Yue was absolutely adorable as a plush bunny!

Sakura: Yes, he was! I totally agree! He was so cute! Kawaii!

Eriol: But very moody and grumpy about the entire thing.

Yih: Yes, I remembered. He disliked that he couldn't fly, did he not?

Eriol and Sakura: (nod)

Yih: Well, (looking at watch) That's all the time we have. Is there anything that you guys would like to say to your ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE fans?

Eriol: We thank you sincerely for supporting us. Thank you so much. (bows low)

Sakura: We hope that you will continue to watch for further works from us and Yih. (bows equally low)

AfterWord

Author's Note: The Omake was suppose to be a part of the story (that Yuki turned into the bunny first before it ended up right) but I had to cut it out because things were getting too long and I was afraid I wouldn't finish it, so I made an omake on it (funnier than it'd be in the story) and hope that you enjoyed it. In the cast interviews, Sakura + Eriol both agree to stay tune to further works because A SWEET BLOSSOMING will be returning in the near or far future. I WILL FINISH IT! Like I finished this one. Please Review, that means a lot! Did you like the omake and the cast interview?
