Moments of happiness - A Tsubasa Chronicle fanfic

Sakura sighed as she looked out across the desert from her bedroom's window. She had a perfect view of the ruins here, bringing back the bittersweet memories of her journey. A small smile settled on her lips as she remembered Mokona's enthusiasm, Fai's teasing, and Kurogane's grumbling. Though nothing could compare to the memories of Syaron. His concern for her safety, his kind smile, and his nobility all brought warmth to her heart. However, at the same time she felt an ache in her chest. An near unbearable longing. She wished she was still with her precious friends on their journey, but knew it was impossible. She had duties to the kingdom of Clow as its princess; even if Syaron was her perfect prince.

The wind around her suddenly stirred to life, and a colourful tinge of magic lit the air, the same clear blue as Fai's eyes. A crescendo of power whistled around her. A primal force that made her hair stand on end, turing her nerves into fire as its electric flavour danced on her tongue. Immediately Sakura's sad smile split into a cheerful grin as she rushed frantically towards the grand entrance hall. She still had these fleeting moments at least. These brief meetings with her faithful compainons before they were again whisked away to the next world. In these moments she could smile and forget all her worries. There was no reason to feel sad or selfish. After all, these visits were her moments of complete happiness.
