The Fading Of The Moon
Soulmates
Sakura snuggled into the covers of her bed as Yue gently let her down. When the contact was broken, she instantly wimpered. Yue gently laid a hand over her own and she stopped wimpering and fell into deeper sleep, a gentle smile on her face. Knowing that his fellow Guardian would not awaken anytime soon, Yue let himself the pleasure of staying and watching over his Mistress' sleep. He had to think about what happened that night. It was amazing, it was unbelievable and it was the best night of his life. He never felt so much love, happiness and joy before and it enlightened him. Perhaps now, he would be more willing to live, to try to survive. Perhaps now life would be more interesting and something that he would once again try to grasp.
With that thought in mind, Yue gently let go of his Mistress' hand, kissed her forehead and flew off into the early morning, heading for the place that his false form called home. When he arrived, he drew all he can from the Moon, for the third time that night and went into bed, transforming back to Yukito. Yukito turned around in his sleep, but slept on. Yue, on the other hand, safe in the mind of Yukito, let his mind wonder and let himself remember the every detail of the night. The way Sakura kissed him, the way the words sounded on her lips, the way she had whispered his name, the way she looked with the Moon shining down onto her. She was beautiful and he dared to hope that she was his.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a beautiful morning when Sakura woke up. The day was beautiful as the night had been. She thought back, to see if it was all a dream, yet somewhere deep in her, she knew that it wasn't a dream, but something that happened for real. One of those things was the cold energy of the Moon running through her vein, mixing with her own powers. She got out of bed, feeling the exercise done the previous night. Her life seemed to have changed, to have taken a different path. A destiny changed. Yet, she was completely happy, so happy and filled with joy that was love. Nearly jumping around, Sakura managed to get down the stairs to get something to eat and rollerblade to school. Nervous energy ran through her blood as she ran the events of the night before in her head. The beauty of the whole night.
"Ouch!" Sakura cried out as she hit someone and started her plunge to the ground when someone caught her. "You should be more careful, Mistress." Sakura looked up with surprise clear on her face to see Yue's silver eyes looking down at her. "Yue!" She cried out before she managed to change his form with her magic, without the wings and dressed in a nice and simple slacks and a shirt with his hair waist length. "How?" Yue questioned, in his true form, yet looking totally different. "I don't know how I did that. I just thought that you appearing in the middle of the street with wings and all would be strange, so i kind of willed you to look like this." Sakura blushed prettily. "I like it. It's different, Mistress." Yue told her, helping her up. The two started to walk towards the school.
"I think you look handsome." Sakura blushed even more before continuing. "I was thinking about a few days ago, that after I finished with the cards changing, I might be able to seperate you and Yukito-san. Is that possible?" She asked and Yue was left to puzzle. "I don't know, Mistress." "Sakura. I was thinking that it would give you a lot more time to do your own things that you may want to do, like going out and having fun, instead of just being stuck with me." Yue stopped walking, gently turned her around and kissed her. "I...I guess I wanted to make sure that last night wasn't a dream. I think you should go, Mistress Sakura. The bell is about to go." Sakura pulled him down and kissed him passionatly, earning a several whistles from her friends that was walking to the school.
"I should go." She whispered, her face bright red. Yue blushed a little before kissing her forehead and whispered goodbye to her. Walking quickly towards the University, Yue couldn't believe the feelings that was running in his mind. Finding a deserted ally, he transformed back to Yukito, feeling that he was running out of magic, again.
Sakura walked towards the school, a small blush still on her face as her friends asked her about the 'cute guy she was kissing'. Sakura just blushed and refused to comment until she met up with Tomoyo. "Guess what Tomoyo?" Sakura almost yelled as she almost jumped up and down, almost scaring her friends. "I'm thinking that by the blushing and all, you have finally got together with Yue-san?" Sakura's mouth dropped open and she looked at her friend with a shocked expression. "How did you know?" "I take it as a yes then. It's about...excuse my language...bloody time!" Sakura laughed at this and continued to walk with her friend towards the classroom.
"What happened last night?" Syaoran asked her as soon as she entered the room and Tomoyo asked the same, only after a second later. "Um...I'll tell you at lunch." The other two looked just about ready to protest but was cut short as the bell rang and the teacher walked in. "Later then." Tomoyo said as the class went quiet. The teacher started to explain the verbs and non verbs of English, but Sakura was way too interested in a silver haired Guardian of the Moon to notice. His power ran in her like ice and it was beautiful. To know that a part of him was in her, to know that she gave him a small part of her as the energy transfire process.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When came lunch time, Sakura explained with a lot of blushing, uncomfortable caughs from Syaoran and crazed squeals and sighs from Tomoyo. "That is so ROMANTIC! I can't believe I wasn't there to film it!" Tomoyo yelled, almost throwing a tantrum. "I don't think it would have been a good idea. The creature thing was fairly dangerous. I didn't know what to do with it until Yue-san came to help." Again, she blushed at the mention of his name and Syaoran let out an annoyed sigh. "What's the matter, Syaoran? Missing Meiling?" Tomoyo teased and Sakura lost her red hue as her eyes sparkled. Syaoran on the other hand seemed to have gained all of Sakura's red hue. "Um...I have to go." With that, he ran off, leaving the two girls to laugh.
"I can't believe it actually happened! It seems that I don't have to set you two up then. I came up with such good ideas, but, one night with magic involved is all you need, I guess." Tomoyo sighed again, eyes going all clouded as she thought of the romantic things Skaura had described to her. "Kinomoto-san!" A voice called and the two girls looked up. Tomoyo looked and cursed in her mind. It was the new American exchange student. There had been two to their class about a month ago, just before all the Clow Cards were caught. One was incredibly nice boy, yet the other one was incredibly...playboishy. Sakura looked up as well and saw Kevin Armstrong and put on a pleasant smiling face.
"Hello, Kevin-kun." Sakura said, polite as usual. "I was wondering, Kinomoto-san, if you would like to go out with me one of these days and perhaps show me around the city?" Sakura looked a little shocked but smiled at him, million thoughts running in her head. "I would love to, but I believe that it wont be possible. I'm going to be busy most of this year with all the studying, family and cheerleading." Kevin looked a little thrown back but had to congratulate the girl for being able to refuse him so politely. "Come on, Kinomoto-san. It would be most wonderful if you would. I mean that you don't seem to have a boyfriend and well, I'm don't either. I would be most honoured if you would accept. If you don't well, who knows what can happen?"
The air around them all of sudden went cold. Sakura could feel the anger building in Kevin as he spoke and started to even stir in her best friend. Sakura let her magic circle her, to run through her veins as the anger started to build even further as she changed her posture from a welcoming one to an angered one. Her eyes narrowed as the cold started to settle in even more. "Are you threatening me?" Sakura asked, her voice cold and full of hate towards the boy that was threatening her. "That would be one way to see it, Sakura-chan." Sakura stood up and Tomoyo did the same. "It's Kinomoto-san to you." She voiced coldly. Kevin smiled at her, not a handsome smile he had before, but one of pure lust and desire. Sakura shivered involuntierly. Her head was hurting and so was her heart area.
"Just walk away, Armstrong-kun." Tomoyo suggested, feeling that Sakura was very close to losing her temper. All the time around her best friend when she used magic gave her almost a sixth sense, she could almost feel that her friend was about to let her magic lose. "What if I say that I won't?" Kevin advanced to the two helpless looking girls. Sakura smiled, surprising Kevin. "You'll learn a lesson." She said, her eyes almost glowing with inner light. In her mind, she was in turmoil. She would not let her magic show. What could she do? After about a second on the thought found her the answer. Call Syaoran or her brother or Yue. ~Syaoran! Yue! I need help!~ She yelled in her mind, sending them a mental picture of what was happening. Kevin advanced a little more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Syaoran! Yue! I need help!~ It was Sakura's voice, filled with a feeling of danger and fear. Syaoran stopped walking around the school grounds and started to run towards where he had left the two girls. A moment later, as he was running, he recieved the picture and growled. It was Kevin Armstrong. The boy that had betted to every single boy in the school that he would be able to get the most popular girls out on a date before he went back to America. All the popular girls meant, Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, Sakura, Tomoyo and a few others. Syaoran ran faster. He knew that Kevin would do anything to get what he wanted and thought that no one can stop them. Then he felt magic, Sakura's magic and the power of the Moon. He ran faster, hoping that nothing happened to the girl he had to thank for melting his heart of ice and letting him see the love in front of his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yukito was in the courtyard with Touya. Well, to be truthful, he was more or less by himself and Nakuru was hanging off Touya and Yukito was sitting at a little distance. He was rather hurt by the distance, yet he knew that there was no stopping the pink haired female. Suddenly, he thought that he hear something like a call of help from Sakura, but was quickly slipped back towards his mind, not aware of what was happening as Yue's mind took over. Having heard the call from his Mistress, Yue rushed towards her. Finding a small corner and quickly changing his form. But, when he called on Sakura's power to transform, he felt a small kiss on his cheek and he was once again put into the form from that moring. He smiled gently before drawing a bit more power from her and just allowing his wings to appear. He flew up into the air and towards his Mistress.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura smiled a little more as she felt two powerful allies were coming towards her. Sakura had felt Yue change and seeing the occasion, changed him like before. Adding the ghost kiss wasn't so hard either. Her powers were growing as Kero had told her. "You seriously think that a girl like you can teach ME a lesson? I'm a black belt in Karate you know!" Kevin yelled before throwing a pretty good punch at her. She smiled and blocked it. She had been ready for him attacking her. She knew that he was outraged at her refusal and so she had called on the Fight card to help her out, not so much help so she won't have to call her staff, but enough to protect herself. "You are not a black belt." Tomoyo observed before crying out in alarm as one of Kevin's friends walked towards her. "Sakura! Help!" She yelled before ducking quickly to avoid the punch sent by the black haired boy.
Syaoran and Yue arrived at the same time and with a nod to each other, stepped in to help the two girls. There was in total 6 of Kevin's side and 4 on Sakura's. "You are outnumbered Sakura." Keving teased but stopped as an arm other than Sakura's came to block his punch. "Are you alright, Sakura-sama?" Yue asked as she smiled in relief. "I'm fine, Yue-san. I think you should go and help Tomoyo though. I have The Fight on my side." He nodded in understanding before slipping around quietly towards Tomoyo's side and took her opponent. She quickly ran from the area around the fight and pushed a small button on her watch, sending her location and a signal of danger towards her bodyguards.
Syaoran took or three guys and Yue took two. Sakura continued to circle Kevin. But she was starting to tire out. There has been a lot of magic use for her that day and she had too much emotions around her to get rid of the headache. In an attempt to do so, Sakura focused her powers on Yue and Tomoyo's feelings. They were both rather calm and both loved her. Syaoran was feeling no emotion what so ever as he fought with out a single thought. Kevin however was full of anger and hatred. The fight continued and Yue finally set the two for time out and went for Kevin. He had plenty of physical energy. It was just magical he missed, so fighting hand to hand was easy. Syaoran smiled at Sakura as he fought off the two and left with one. ~Can I use my sword?~ He asked in her mind. "No, Syaoran." Sakura said firmly as she heard the thought and saw him pulling the black pendent out of his shirt.
"Freeze!" There was an order. Everyone froze as sounds of guns emerged in the silence after the order. "Are you alright, Daidouji-sama? Kinomoto-san?" The leader of Tomoyo's bodyguards asked and Tomoyo gave her a bright smile. "I'm fine, thank you for coming so quickly, ladies." They simple nodded to her, not letting their guards down. "Now, the rest of you are quietly going to back up against the wall over there." The leader commanded as they obeyed quickly. The leader shot one look at Yue, and looked at Tomoyo. Tomoyo smiled and nodded to them, telling them that he was not one of the 'baddies'. "Are you alright, Sakura-sama?" Yue asked, obvious concern in his voice. She went into his embrace, earning an outraged yell from Kevin.
"Shut up." Was all he recieved as one of the ladies started to lead them away from their young mistress and towards the principal's office. "I could sue you! You held me at a gun point!" Kevin yelled and Tomoyo laughed lightly, causing the march to stop. "You can't sue them or me, Armstrong-kun. They have every right to do so. They are my bodyguards, registered with a gun and the right to do what ever they think nescessary when I'm in any kind of danger. Danger of getting a bruise is one of them. Think of that before you attack me the next time." Her smile turned cold as she said the last part. Sakura giggled in Yue's embrace.
"Oh, and Armstrong-san, I have a boyfriend and he would be most upset if you ask me out again." Yue blushed a little and looked at Sakura in a little bit of shock as the troublesome group was walked away. "Um...I would be honoured if you would be my boyfriend..." She trailed off, not knowing what to say when, to everyone's surprise, Yue tilted her face up gently and kissed her, just as gentle. Tomoyo sighed, Syaoran blushed and one of the bodyguards, who had stayed behind just in case started to move away. Thinking that it was a private moment. It was very good that she did as well, since a light show started soon afterwards.
As Sakura almost melted into his embrace, light started to eminate from her. There was a glowing silvery pink light in her and bluish silver light from Yue. The two audience gasped in surprised. Syaoran was even more surprised than Tomoyo was. He knew what was happening. Sakura continued to kiss her boyfriend and the light grew stronger and stronger with time. At last, the light was blinding and the two others had to turn away. As abrupt as it started, it was gone and Sakura dropped, her magic spent. Yue however held his Mistress up and gently sat her down on the grass. "What just happened?" Tomoyo asked, her voice full of awe.
Syaoran looked at the Moon Guardian, who looked shocked, awed. "Do you know what happened Yue-san?" Syaoran asked, urgently. Tomoyo looked at him and to Sakura and to Yue and repeated. "Yes. Mistress Sakura and I are soulmates." He said softly, his voice filled with shock. "Does she know?" Syaoran asked, a worried tone entering his voice. "I don't know. I don't know." Yue's voice was still in shock as Tomoyo came close to Sakura to see if she was alright. "Don't go near her Tomoyo." Syaoran called out and pulled her back quickly. "They need to be left alone for about 5 minutes to get used to the bond. Yue is in some kind of trance at the moment and so is Sakura. They are both very vunerable at the moment. But only for the moment." Tomoyo looked at him, puzzled.
"I'll try to explain the best I can. Yue and Sakura are soulmates. Meaning that they were one until they were split before they were born. When they were born, it is in their insticts to try to find their soulmates. This doens't happen very often. Only after some kind of danger passes and truth of love is told and only when there is some kind of official asking to be their partner. It could be just asking to be a couple, engagement or even a marriage. I am taught that after the soul bonds, the two will need to be together until the bond is settled. Usually, the female always faints and the male protects her from anything and everything. It doesn't matter if her best friend tries to get near her, he will hurt, or even kill the person at that stage."
Tomoyo looke shocked as she looked at the couple on the ground. Yue had Sakura craddled in his arms like a baby and they were glowing again, silvery light of pink and blue mixing with each other. "I guess this is what Clow Reeds meant." Yue whispered as Sakura opened her eyes and smiled up at him. "What do you mean?" Syaoran asked, carefully approaching the pair. "Don't worry Syaoran. It's safe now." Sakura told him, her face full of happiness. Yue looked up at the standing boy and back down to his soulmate, his Mistress, his friend. "Clow kept telling me that Sakura-sama's and my path must cross. That even though I was a Magical Being, that I was given a soul. A soul that would end my unhappiness. I didn't understand it then. I didn't want to. Clow told me at his deathbed and I was too busy grieving to pay attention to his last words. Ever since I was created, he would tell me over and over again that I should love Sakura. That she would be my ultimate happiness and joy. He used to conjure up pictures of Mistress Sakura to show the cards and Cereberus and I. He used tell us of who you were and what you were going to be."
Sakura had a tear in her eyes which Yue, unconsciously wiped away with gently fingers. Syaoran and Tomoyo looked shocked. "You are fading Yue." Sakura whispered to him before she fell unconsicous again. Tomoyo shrieked and asked what was wrong while Syaoran carefully picked his friend off Yue's lap. Yue didn't protest and got up himself as well. "I have to go now. Keep her safe for me." He said before flying away into the bright blue sky. "Well, that was a shocking experience!" Tomoyo commented jokingly. "It sure was. I was so sure that I would never see a soulbonding in my whole life! It happens about once every few hundred years." Tomoyo looked impressed and said, "nothing traumatic never happened with you and Meiling, had it? I bet you two are soulmates. Just wait until you get married!" Syaoran blushed deep red while he continued to try to wake up Sakura.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eriol once again watched everything happen. His heart was flipping about. Joy for his daughter in the next life and his creation made him smile like a proud and overjoyed father. He had tried to make their life the best, yet he had only known in the last minute of his life that they were indeed soulmates. He had been so happy. He smiled as he thought back to when the event of the day started. He had been just about ready to go down the kill the stupid bastard that dared to lay a hand on his daughter. But she seemed to have everything under control. She was always good with things like that. When he felt Yue's presence nearing, he had looked and saw someone different and by the magical signiture knew that it was his daughter. He looked wonderful, like someone that belonged in the time frame they were in. Sakura seemed to brighten up his presence.
When the ladies in black clothing appeared, he had tp keep himself from laughing. It was just all two funny! He saw the boy getting escorted away and thought that the whole situation should have been taped. For once in his life, he wished that Tomoyo had her camara there to tape Sakura. He had been with them from the very beginning. He knew when Sakura took her first step. He had watched when she first went to school, when she first fell in love with Yukito and even when she opened the book of Clow. He was someone that has seen Sakura for the whole of her life. True, it was only when the most important things was happening, his eyes would glaze over and go in a trance. He would come out of the trance and tell his Guardians what was happening to his daughter. They had been very annoyed about it.
He smiled again before watching the group walkaway from the spot where they had been. Sakura was on her feet now and incredibly happy. He was happy for her, happy that she found her happiness in the guardian he had created for her. "I'm so happy for you, Sakura." He said quietly into the air before jumping the height from the tree to the ground with a graceful flip. He landed on his feet, graceful as a cat. With his smile on his face, he started to walk alone, to try to find an answer to his own empty heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura tried to stay awake in class, to pay attention to class and found that she was trying to win an unwinnable war. ~Yue?~ Sakura called in her mind out to her soulmate through the bond she now had with him. ~Mistress?~ Yue returned, earning a frown from her. ~I'm not your Mistress, Yue. I'm your soulmate. Call me by my name.~ She pleaded to him, all thoughts about class gone from her mind. ~As you wish, Sakura-sama.~ Sakura smiled at this and heard, "Sakura-san, what is the capital city of Australia?" Sakura repeated the question in her mind and Yue answered. ~It's Canberra, Sakura-sama~ Sakura gave him a smile in her mind and answered the teacher. "Canberra." The teacher gave her a smile before moving along. ~Thank you, Yue-san~ He offered her a smile before slipping away into his own class.
Tomoyo watched her friend with interest. It seemed that she has changed. She looked older, more exprienced and seemed to be in some kind of pain deep inside of her. She however, also looked happy, incredibly happy. The joy radiated from her unlike before. Tomoyo smiled. Perhaps finding her soulmate helped Sakura to understand a little more of the harsh world then. She smiled again and looked around the classroom to find a lonely heart. Perhaps she had a talent for knowing when people were down or it was just the air that was presented to her. Her eyes caught on a single boy and stayed there, until he turned to look at her. Blushing, she looked away. Thinking over her course of actions, she was now definately sure that she had a crush on Eriol Hirragizawa.
Sakura watched her friend. Something was up and she could feel it through her Empathy. Her friend was in love as far as she could feel. She was sure that she could somehow enter her mind to see, but as her friend, she would not dare do that. So, instead, she watched. She saw her best friend slowly turning to look towards Eriol and smiled. Now, Sakura, the Card Mistress knew who Tomoyo Daidouji had a crush on. She would just have to do something called matchmaking to get them together!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the class ended, Sakura picked her things up, and started to walk out of the classroom with her best friend. Tomoyo looked happy, yet dismayed a little. "Worrying about your crush?" Sakura asked and Tomoyo's head shot up in surprise and Sakura giggled. "I told you that I wans't that dense! Also, I can sense other people's feelings now. Your reading says that you have a crush on someone." Tomoyo sighed in defeat but didn't say anything as they walked out towards the schoolyard. "I have Cheerleading Practise. I'll see you tomorrow!" Tomoyo waved goodbye and found one of her bodyguards waiting for her. Without a word, she stepped into the car and thought of nothing but a certain smiling boy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura jumped and did the splits in the air, a little annoyed at the uniform. It was a short sleeved pink and white top and the matching skirts. She was so glad that it didn't show any of her bellies or things like that, she would have been embarrased. She thought of nothing else but the movements she was doing. At last, the music started to come to an end and she jumped up, flipped and landed on her feet, graceful as a cat. Whoever was watching, cheered and the girls, mockingly took a theatrical bow. Looking around quickly, Sakura saw her brother waiting for her and some distance near him was...Kevin. She sighed before putting on a jumper and running towards her brother.
"Onni-chan!" She yelled as she threw her bag at him. "Hey Sakura! Come on, it's starting to get late. Yukito was worried about you, told me that I should come to pick you up." Sakura smiled at him and in her mind, thanked her boyfriend. "Come one, Sakura, you should get inside before you catch anything. Why do you have to wear those uniforms anyway?" Sakura just smiled at him and let herself be led towards the car. It was a silver car and she loved it. It wasn't the fastest or even the prettiest on the market, but it was something her brother bought himself and also something that was comfortable to ride in. As she walked away, she saw Kevin swearing and her smile broadend. She never knew that she would feel so much joy over angering the possibly dangerous boy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura looked up into the warm and sunny sky. In the arms of her Angel, she felt content, warm and loved. It had been two weeks since the forming of their soulbond and Sakura had managed to take Yue out to the park now and then to just enjoy each other's company. Kevin, of course has been trying to get Sakura's attention in many different ways, good or bad. He had threatened her again, trying to charm her, left her notes on her locker and so on. All his efforts were ignored. He had been amazed to find that his charms couldn't get any of the popular girls. They all had declined him or even slapped him across the face. Yet, he was too obsessed with Sakura and Tomoyo to care about the others so much.
"What's the matter, Mistress?" Yue asked, the word 'Mistress' used more as a pet name than a title. "It's just that I have this movie thing with Touya and Yukito-san. I really don't like the camara you know. It's really not my fav thing!" Yue allowed himself a small smile as he thought back.
About the time the soulbond started, Yukito and Touya's class was given an assignment. To make a movie. It was in English class that they were told to make an English, mystery movie. They needed a younger girl to play one of the main character's love interest. Who just happens to be Yukito. She blushed at the thought. "I hate that kind of things! But, a part of you is going to be my love interest and that makes things so much better!" Yue blushed as Sakura giggled. "I don't know why they just can't use one of the girls in their class. I mean, why does the love interest have to be a younger girl?" She asked, annoyed about the whole idea. "Because, Mistress, the love interest, Katherine has to be beautiful, young and innocent. There isn't a single girl in Yukito's class that fit the description." Sakura giggled.
"Are you making fun of me?" Sakura asked, her eyes teasing, but her mouth pouting, cutely. "Would I do that, Mistress Sakura?" Yue looked at her, his face totally innocent looking. Sakura laughed, snuggling closer to her boyfriend. There was something that worried her about him, yet she hid it from his mind. She could feel that he was fading away from her. His powers were weakening and in her own weak state, she knew that she could not suport him like Clow Reeds could have done. What would happen to Yue if there was no moon and herself was too weak to support him? Would he leave her? But a single gesture of love, a kiss, chased the negative thoughts away. He wouldn't leave her, if he had a choice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok, Sakura-san! This is what you are supposed to do in this scene, just in case there was a change. You are going to walk toward the tree from here and when Yukito-san enters the scene, turn around quickly, look at him, run and kiss him. Basically throw yourself at him. The kiss doens't have to be real. We are going to be at an angle so even if you whisper in his ear, it would look like you were kissing him. But a thing to remember is that your dress is fairly long and it might be hard to run in it." One of her brother's friend told her. "I understand." Sakura said quietly. With the help of Tomoyo, she quickly straighted her dark green dress and secured her wig a little more. She was wearing a wig that was waist length of hair and she looked just like a pretty poceline doll. "You look so cute!" Tomoyo commented before starting her own camara.
Sakura sighed and turned to look at the scene. Her brother was with Yukito, acting their parts. Her brother was a detective, Yukito a villian, and Sakura was the villian's innocent lover. She smiled at the mere thoughts of the short movie. It was interesting to think...before her thoughts could continue, she got her cue. Her brother had walked off towards the house, going in as the scene was cut. Sakura moved into place and as the camara rolled again, she started to walk towards the big oak tree.
Her every movement was graceful and she looked beautiful, more than anything anyone had ever seen before. Her green eyes were complimented by the green dress and her wig suited her well. The straight hair of the wig was half put up in a simple twist at the back of her head and the others cascaded down her back. When she felt the mere presence of her boyfriend's false form, she felt all of the stage fright and everything else disappear in his love. She turned around gracefully. The dres twirled about her legs before settling and her hair did the same. She looked at Yukito's face, with Yue's eyes and ran towards him, the dress was no problem at all. She had always worn her robe, which was as long and heavy as the dress while catching the Clow Cards.
Yue could not help but be facinated at the fact that his Mistress could look so beautiful. He stored the picture of her, standing under the oak tree, the hair falling all around her, the dress arranged around her beautifully. "Oh Charlse!" With that, she threw herself at him and he caught her with ease. As it was in the script, he carefully spun her around, careful to be facing away from the camara as they kissed. Sakura whispered beautiful non-understandable words in his ear and Yue smiled at her. "I missed you so much!" Sakura spoke again, her English was wonderful. Perhaps it was a gift to her from Clow Reeds, perhaps it was just because she practised so hard. Too soon, the scene ended and they let each other go as the crew clapped for them. It was it for that day. They would be back the next day to film the next part and for that, the soulmates was glad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yukito was over at Sakura's house and sitting at the lounge room with Touya, they were going through their lines together and Sakura was in the kitchen, making something or a rather. Then there was a scream from her direction and the two men ran towards Sakura. When they arrived at the kitchen, they could see imedietly what scared her so much. "Hello, Sakura-chan!" It was Kevin Armstrong. "What in the world are you doing in my house? Get out, Armstrong-kun!" Sakura yelled her eyes flashing dangerous silery green. Yue took one look at the situation and decided that it was time that his mind took over Yukito's, even if it was the last magical thing he did. "Get the HELL AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" Touya yelled as Kevin laid a painful grip on Sakura's arm.
Now, Sakura was in pain through both physically and mentally. ~Help Yue!~ Sakura pleaded, her face filled with agnony. She anchored her magical senses onto Yue's love and let it stay there, trying her best to lessen her magical pain. It didn't go away. Sakura knew that Yue was feeling her pain and her brother also noticed. "Let her go." Touya said, deadly calmly. Kevin threw Sakura's arm away from him and Sakura quickly moved behind her brother for protection, her arm was bruised for sure. "Now, get out of this house." Kevin applied, not before saying, "you'll be mine, Sakura."
Sakura fell to the floor, tears running down her face. Yue/Yukito gently picked her up and into her room where Cereberus was floating around and dropped as soon as he saw Yukito. "Cereberus, something happened, so can you take care of the Mistress? I need to go down and deal with Touya." Cereberus floated up, looked into Yue's eyes and nodded. "You are growing weaker by the day. If you don't find a solution, you'll be gone. That will kill Sakura or leave her devastated." Yue didn't need to be told. He quickly left the room. Sakura haven't heard anything, he was sure. Cereberus had whispered too softly for her to hear. And for that, he was glad.
"Is she alright?" Touya asked as soon as Yukito made it down the stairs. Yue gave Yukito a vision sort of thing, telling him what had happened and that Sakura was fine, in bed. "She's alright. I think we should leave her alone for awhile though. She's in some kind of shock. It should wear off soon though." Touya noded, running a restless hand through his hair. Gods, he was beautiful. Yukito thought as he watched Touya. Then stopped himself from thinking any further. It wouldn't be right for him to think of his best friend as 'beautiful'. It just wasn't right, was it? Stoping his thoughts, Yukito decided that he should continue whatever Sakura had been making for their dinner.
When they started to eat dinner, Touya looked nervous about something, but Yukito decided to ignore it. Touya watched his best friend carefully as he started to fade away in his sight. Yukito wavered a little in front of his very eyes and it scared him. "Yuki, I know that..." Before he could continue, there was a scream from Sakura's room and the two men ran out of the kitchen towards the scream for the second time that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura woke up as her senses started to hurt and when she opened her eyes, she found that the feeling of hate and darkness haunting her from her dream. She was shaking, hard as she tried take her mind back from her vision. There was darkness and hate all around her. Always, the hate and the anger. Darkness threatened to overcome her as she struggled against it. Once again, the figure of Yue and Dark Witch was the only things that she could see clearly and the feeling of danger. There was danger towards her and also for her friends in her year. Terror that she has never felt before. She needed comforting, love to surround her and to drown out her pain.
Her relief came when the presence of her brother and Yukito started to near her room. Yue was awake in Yukito's mind, frantically asking her what was wrong. She couldn't answer. She was in took much pain yet, to answer his calls. "What's the matter, Sakura?" Touya asked frantically as his sister looked straight ahead, sitting up in her bed, sheets clutched in her hands, she was shaking all over and her face was filled with terror and pain. "Sakura?" Yukito voiced, but Yue put some of himself into the speech, letting Sakura know that he was there. Her eyes snapped towards the two men in her room and she blinked several time before she sat up straighter in her bed and started to rock back and forward. "What's going on?" Touya asked. He knew that his sister was distress, but couldn't tell why. He had never seen her so upset before.
Yue was tired, he could feel his false form tired as well. He was starting to fade and Sakura probably knew it. But, there was nothing she could do. She only had so much power. She was still weak and untrained of her magical powers. Snapping out of his thoughts, he focused himself on his Mistress. She was in pain, pain so deep that it was hard even for Yue to handle. She looked like she was terrified. Something scared her, something more than just having a nightmare. More like a vision. She slowly looked up at Yue and mouthed his name. He had to get Touya out of her room. But how? Then an idea came to his mind. "Toya, I think Sakura needs something to drink and perhaps some sleeping pills to give her some rest." "Of course! It's starting to sound like you are the one doing Medical here." Touya quickly exited the room, perfectly knowing that it was just an excuse to get him out of the room.
Walking out of the house to get some sleeping pills for his sister, Touya couldn't help but feel helpless. There was nothing he could do for his sister, all she needed was Yue. He had noticed that she had changed and finding the source of the change hadn't been so hard. His magical abilities allowed him to see Sakura being connected to his best friend's other soul. Touya couldn't help but also feel helpless at the fact that Yukito and Yue was disappearing and there was nothing he could do. He could lose his best friend and his...love. In the process, also losing Sakura's boyfriend. It would devastate her. Also, it would lessen the protection around her. He had to do something. There were several ideas, things that he didn't know if it was possible or not. Only time could tell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yue sat down on the bed next to his Mistress. Gently, he laid a hand on her shoulder and called to her. "Mistress? Sakura-sama!" Even though his inner thoughts complained, he called his magic to help him call his Mistress, soulmate to him. She slowly looked upto him and her eyes cleared a little as she felt his presence, his love. "What's the matter? What happened?" He asked urgently as she threw herself at him and held onto him for dear life. "I had a vision and it was so horrible!" She started to cry and sobbed into his shirt as Cereberus poped up from under her bed and looked at the two and quietly went back under the bed again.
"Everything will be fine." Yue repeated over and over again as he stroked her hair and back. She was starting to quieten down a little. "Can you tell me what happened in the vision, Mistress?" Sakura shook her head, more tears coming at even the mention of the vision. She had seen death. Death of her most loved ones and it wasn't easy to relive. "Please..." She whispered and he understood. She didn't want to even think of the vision. It hurt her more that he had thought. "It's alright. Everything will be fine. I promise." Sakura huddled closer to her soulmate and let him comfort her at the time of need. There was so much pain in her, more than she had ever felt before. But, she knew that she had to collect herself quickly. She didn't have long before her brother would be back and Yue would be gone. She couldn't even ask him to stay with her.
"Touya's coming soon, Yue-san. You have to go soon..." She trailed off, kissing his lips with desperation. He kissed her back, gently and more or less forcing her to calm. He teased her lips by kissing her softly and then pulling back until she was almost limp in his arms, with love and desire of his lips. After all, it may be the last time he gets to kiss her beautiful lips. Perhaps it would be forever soon. But, one thought comforted them both. Whatever may happen, they would see each other again in the future, this time, without the searching. "Goodbye Mistress Sakura. My love." Yue whispered gently, with a blush on his face before he was gone. Yukito stood in Sakura's room, looking down at the restless teenager.
Yue used all the magic he dared to set the vision in Yukito's mind of what happened after he entered the room. Yukito quietly walked towards the young teen and sat on her bed as she looked up at him, her eyes filled with pain. "Are you alright, Sakura?" He asked as she let a single tear slip through her eyes. He carefully wiped it away and let his hand brush away her fringe from her eyes and told her that everything will be fine.
Touya came back into his little sister's bedroom and found his best friend looking after Sakura, just as he would have. "Here, Sakura." Touya said as he handed Sakura a cup of water and the sleeping pills. She took them with a grateful smile and quickly swallowed the pills. She settled down quickly, her eyes sliding shut as she was overtaken by the influence of the drug. The two looked at each other, sighed in relief and quietly exited the room, allowing the teen to get her rest. It had been, after all, a hectic night for her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yukito and Touya sat themselve down in the loungeroom. There was silence between them, an exhausted silence until one of them ventured to break it. Surprisingly, it was Touya that spoke first. "I wonder what happened before?" He didn't have to explain what he had said. They both knew that he was speaking of his younger sister. "I don't know. But it must have been something to scare her so much. Maybe she saw a ghost!" Touya grinned a little at the comment, but his eyes narrowed a little as he looked at his friend and saw that he was once again flickering in his vision. It was worst than before. Perhaps Yue had used his powers to help his sister. Touya could clearly tell that Yukito was worried for his Sakura, momentarily forgetting his own fatigue.
Yukito moved his hand to rest it on his forehaed, falling back to almost lay down on the couch. "Are you alright?" Touya asked, worried for his friend and secret crush. "I'm fine, Toya." Then there was the silence once again, before Yukito looked at the clock and his eyes widened in surprise. "I better go, Toya! I have to study for the science test tomorrow." Touya chuckled a little at his friend's obvious panic. "Alright. But don't forget that we have to meet at the mansion again tomorrow at 3 for the last few shots. You can't be late since the sun sets quicker now." Yukito nodded before gathering his staff and walking out of the door towards his empty house. Touya sighed as he watched the flickering friend go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura woke up, the drug was slowly letting it's influence slip on her. She was tired and she felt as if she had almost drowned. In her mind, a sarcatic voice told her that she almost had, in hate. Sighing, she got out of her bed and put on her uniform, unwillingly. Cereberus shot up into the air as he heard his Mistress getting up. "Hello, Sakura-chan! Are you feeling ok?" Sakura looked at her guardian and smiled at him. "I'm feeling fine, thank you." She carefully gathered her books and with one last look to the mirror, rushed out of her room to eat some breakfast and head towards school. "Are you fine to go to school?" Sakura nodded to him before she continued to eat her breakfast and pack her lunch. "I have to go." With that, she walked out of the door before he could say anything to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura walked quickly to her school. She needed to talk to Syaoran about her vision. But as she walked further and further, she decided that she shouldn't tell him of her vision yet. It wasn't something that he should know until the time drew near. It was too flightening for her to bare and she didn't want to repeat it to him. So, she decided that she wouldn't be saying anything. She kept walking until she reached the school. She felt tired, more tired than she had ever been. She had never felt so tired, even after the Final Judgement. Though she felt the tirdness, something in her told her that it was not her, but someone else. The thought didn't make a connection though. She felt a barrier, blocking her thoughts from a particular thought. She wondered about it until she entered the classroom.
"Hey Sakura!" She smiled and walked over to her friends and was glad to be in their warm company. But something cold was approaching her and she knew who it was. It was Kevin Armstrong. She could feel it in her bones. His presence hurt, more than anything else, she felt the anger, hate and lust through her bones and it really pained her. Even focusing all her magic on her soulmate and her friend was no help. The anger was there. She slowly raised a hand to her head and moaned a little as Tomoyo was quickly by her side, asking what if she was alright. A cold hand touched her shoulder. "Hello, Sakura-chan!" Sakura shivered at the pure hate in his voice. The hate increased and Sakura had to bite her lips to stop herself from crying out. She didn't turn around to face him nor shrink under his touch.
Kevin Armstrong as angry. He wanted Kinomoto Sakura and has been defied too many times. She had constantly ignored his threats and she had always some protection around her. But, in class without the Chinese boy around, she was vunerable. So, he decided to go to her group of girls and decided to charm her there. He hadn't been loud enough to catch the attention of the other boys yet, and for that, he was glad. He didn't want to fight about it. "What do you want, Armstrong-kun?" Sakura asked, her voice unusually pained and cold. "I want you." He whispered in her ear, making her flinch.
Sakura felt her magic gather, but she was tired and weak. Her magic was almost drained with the sky being not so clear and Yue...her thoughts stopped again. She ignored it, it wasn't time. Sakura turned around to face the boy in question. Her powers were giving her a headache and she was starting to lost her temper. "Well, just get lost because you can't have me! How many times do I have to tell you? What part don't you understand in 'I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU!'? Huh? I can say it in English for you too! Whatever languge, name it and I'll say it in that! Now just leave me alone!" Sakura lost her temper and everyone knew that it was serious. Sakura NEVER lost her temper, unless something was really wrong. Kevin's face went red and he slapped her across the face with such force, it caused her to fall to the ground, clutching at her face. She looked up, her eyes furious.
Sakura was angry, she was beyond angry. She heard her friends getting ready to do something, felt her soulmate asking her what was wrong. She stoppped all of them with a signal and flipped up. "You are going to have to learn a lesson, Armstrong-san. In Japan, if a lady refuses a man, he does NOT go about threatening her. He does NOT break into her home. He does NOT insult the Lady and he definately does NOT and I mean, NOT HIT HER!" She was starting to see red as Tomoyo was pushed out of the way and fell with a cry of pain. "AND NO ONE HURTS MY FRIENDS!" Sakura touched the Fight card with her mind and asked it for help. With it done, she launched herself off her feet and with a magari front kick, hit him square in his soleplexes. He fell backwards, but kept his balance.
"Without the Chinese boy, you are nothing." He told her, hotly. "Really? Syoaran is right over there. But he knows that I'm in control." With that, Sakura launched into a double round kick. Kevin fell with a heavy thump, totally embarassed. He got back up and faced Sakura, his hands going up in guard. "You probably sleep with that Syaoran boy!" Sakura saw blood. "YOU DO NOT INSULT THE LADY!" With that, she flew into a flying kick and he was out for the count. "Go SAKURA!" Tomoyo squealed as Syaoran came to give her a pat on her back. "That was nicely done, Card Mistress." Sakura gave him a smile, a tired smile. "I need your help." He looked at her, curious, noticing her pain. "What..." "I need you to set up a physic barrier around me. Keep any kind of emotions away from me. Except those from Yue." Syaoran nodded and sat in his seat, just as the teacher came in and started to weave the spell.
Sakura slumped on her desk and vagually heard Kevin swaering avenge on her. She ignored it as the spell started to take place. It was not the best feeling in her life, but she was feeling better than without the spell in place. She gave a greatful look towards Syaoran before starting to pay attention to class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soon, class was over and it was time for her to go to the Mansion for the last few shots of the film for her brother. She sighed but walked quickly towards the promised place. She didn't want to be late and disapoint her brother or her soulmate or her soulmate's false form, her first crush. She stopped as she struggled to look for her cards. They were in her bag somewhere, but she didn't want to struggle to find them if something happened. IF something was going to happen. She knew that she had to be on the guard, her visions were too frightening to just let go of easily. Once she found the cards, she put them at the front of her bag, where it would be easier to reach and kept walking.
When she arrived at the scene, she found that everyone else was there and one of her brother's friends rushed to her with the same green dress. She was quickly dressed and fussed over. She had to admit that she didn't mind the attention. It was almost spoiling her though. Smiling, she pulled the cards out of her bag to place it into a pocket in the dress. She walked over to where her brother and Yukito was standing, smiling brightly.
"Hello, Sakura-chan! You look beautiful!" Yukito commented and Sakura blushed prettily. But she was not fool enough to not notice the darkness in Yukito's eyes. He was tired, even more than he had ever seemed like. Since Syaoran wasn't around, the spell was worn off and her Empatnic senses told her that he was tired, weak and...dying. The last thought dawned on her as horror passed her face. Yukito/Yue was possibly dying. The power that radiated from them all the time was gone and Sakura was worried more than she had before. "Is there anything wrong, Yukito-san?" She asked carefully, but Yukito just a smile and told her that he was fine. A look towards her brother told her that Touya also knew that something was wrong.
Yet, she didn't have the chance to ask Yukito more as Nakuru yelled for them to get into place. They smiled at each other and Touya ran up the stairs from inside of the building to the veranda, Yukito under the tree wuth Sakura in his arms. Sakura relaxed, feeding what power she had left into Yukito to bring Yue out a little. Yue came to her calling with some difficulty. ~Why didn't you tell me?~ She asked, a tear in her eyes as Yue just smiled sadly at her. "Lights, Camara, ACTION!" With that, Sakura laughed merrily as Yukito started to flirt with her, of sorts. She hid all her worries behind a mask of happiness she always had on her face, whatever the situation.
Yue looked down at his young Mistress, yes, she was still so young! And she was about to go through her first heartbreak. Yue knew that he didn't have long, not long at all. Sakura herself was on the verge of collapsing as her magic hasn't been recharged. Part of Yukito's mind took care of the acting as Yue just stared at his soulmate, his Mistress. She knew that something was wrong. And it was perhaps for the better. Then she'll be prepared for it. It won't put her into shock. But as he looked down at her smiling face, he wished that he could stay, that it could be different.
Sakura felt Yue's power waver in front of her, she could feel the weakness starting to overwhelm him as well as her. She knew that her physical body couldn't take the exertion, but experience told her that Yukito's body could. Perhaps it would at least allow Yue to live that longer. Soon, the scence finished and there was only one more left to shoot. Touya and Yukito talking up in the verander. Sakura watched from off the side, watching her soulmate and her brother with a tired smile on her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eriol regretted what he was about to do. He was about to put Yue in danger to save him from the destruction he was about to face. But something in his mind told him that it had to be done. He watched, sadly from the secret room in the house with his red chair in it. Sakura was beautiful, just as how Clow had wished for his daughter to be like. However, his eyes weren't focused on the girl, it was focused on the false form of the Moon Guardian. His magic was almost gone and Sakura was near collapse from feeding him her magic. She would be able to feel him drifting, Eriol could tell that Clow's daughter was in distress from the information. Grimly, he prepared for what was to happen next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yue was awake in Yukito's mind, knowing that he would have to stop Sakura from feeding him magic for longer, she would collapse for sure. He didn't care of himself, he never did. It was always his Mistress, his beautiful soulmate that he cared for. Yukito was weak and so was he, but something told him that everything will be fine soon. Perhaps it was the fact that he would soon be going to see his previous master or the fact that Sakura would be fine after his disappearence, he did not know. But he felt that something big was about to happen.
Touya looked at his best friend and crush. He looked so fragile, so weak and in his magic vision, he could see that Yukito was starting to fade away. He was scared to say at the least. He was freaked out that he would lose his friend and let him go without telling him of his secret. From somewhere in his mind, Touyta knew that there was something he could do for him. But he didn't know if it was possible, if he could give up something so special. But he would for the sake of his sister and of his best friend. Determained he turned around to face Yukito.
"Yuki, I have something to tell you." Yukito didn't look back, Yue knew what was going to be talked to him about. He leaned on the railing and nodded for Touya to continue. "I know that you are..." He couldn't continue as the railing of the verander collapsed and Yukito fell forward. With his great reflexes, Touya was able to catch Yuki's hand, but it wavered and slipped through Touya's fingers and Yukito dropped without a sound. It must have to few seconds, but to Touya, it seemed like forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura saw and felt the feeling of Clow's Power and silently grabbed the first card, Float. She couldn't have the time to call her wand, she had to just use the card. She didn't even chant to change the card, she just willed it. More magic was used than if she had used a incarnation, but Float was activated and floated off to stop her soulmate's fall. It was just stopped in matter of micro seconds, but Yukito was safely lowered down to the grounds. Sakura turned around and quickly grabbed the Erase card and once again without any incarnation, released it and erased the memory of everyone, but herself, Tomoyo, her brother and Yukito. Her magic wouldn't work on her brother at all!
Everyone watched as Yukito was picked up by her brother and rushed into the mansion, but Sakura couldn't follow, she was yet too weak to even think of moving. Her powers were almost down to zero and she was having trouble keeping Yue alive along with her. But gradually, the fatigue passed a little, just enough for her to walk towards her soulmate and her brother. She walked quickly as she can manage to avoide the people and without having to look for them, she found the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Touya looked at the boy in his arms and almost cried. Yukito had always looked delicate, but not so pale as what he was like then. His heart almost broke into pieces as he stared at his best friend. He looked at him and decided that Yue would take his power, knowledge flooded his mind from a single ghost, someone that told him that he was Clow Reeds. He didn't care. He just knew that Yue could take his power and that Yukito would be able to live. He didn't care for himself, none at all. Touya shook the boy awake and when Yukito opened his eyes, Touya looked directly in them and called for the being inside of Yukito, the Moon Guardian.
Yue woke up to a different call. It wasn't his soulmate, but someone important to Yukito and he was calling Yue. He knew that he had to awaken, so he did. His wings spread and Yue stood in front of his Mistress' brother. "I have a proposal for you." Yue looked into the dark haired boy's eyes. There was sadness in those eyes, in losing more than a friend. Yue understood, but he floated in front of Touya with his arms crossed, arogance in his every inch. When Yue didn't speak, Touya continued. "I'll give you my powers, Yue. To keep Yukito alive and to protect Sakura."
Yue was surprised to say at the least, Touya had so much love to give up something that allowed him to see his mother for his best friend and for his sister. "That means you won't be able to see your mother anymore." Yue told him, in his cold voice. "I know. But I have some conditions. That you won't dissapear from this world without a fight. That you'll protect Sakura. And that you won't let Yukito disappear." An amused smile of sorts came up on Yue's face. "I'll protect my Mistress with my life. I'll try to not let Yukito disappear, if he means so much to you."
Touya nodded his consent in the proposal. "I can't afford to lose you. It'll make Sakura unhappy. And I don't want to see you cry." Yue smiled, "you and me both." Touya went into Yue's gentle embrace and Yue laid his lips at the crook of Touya's neck, draining Touya of his power.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura wiped a tear from her eyes. Her brother knew about everything and he was sacrificing himself for Yukito and her. She felt guilty, that she wasn't powerful enough, she cursed herself quietly. Something else was known clearly to her, that her brother loved his best friend. That she had most likely got in their way. Sakura closed her eyes, her back against the door, her hearing enhanced due to her magic. Tears fell down her face, non stop. She couldn't stop crying. She was losing her soulmate and she didn't know about it. It was all her fault. She let out a sob.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yue gently held up Touya's limp body and smiled at him, "thank you." He whispered. Then he heard a sob and searching his bond, knew that it was his soulmate and that she had heard everything. Gently laying Touya's body on the bed, Yue moved quickly towards his Mistress and love, who was near collapsing herself. She was still in her green dress, however, her wig was off and her face was filled with tear streaks. "Yue!" She cried out before throwing herself against him.
She started to sob harder on Yue's broad chest even as she kept saying that she was sorry. Yue couldn't stop her. He knew that nothing could until she had finished crying. Finally, she caught hold of herself as she saw her brother. "Touya!" With that, she rushed into the room her brother was in and Yue closed the door behind them, silently. Sakura collapsed, almost on her brother and new waves of sobs started. "Touya would be upset if he knew that you were crying, Mistress." Sakura just looked up with her tear filled eyes, taking comfort of Yue's gentleness.
"Touya, wake up! Please Touya!" Sakura said over and over again. Hoping that her brother was alright. "He'll be fine, I promise you that, Mistress. He just need time to get well." Sakura nodded and pulled a card out, Power card went to work as an amazed Guardian watched. Power went about to recharge her brother's energy a little, enough to get him up and alive for about 3 hours. With the last of her magic spent, Sakura sagged against the bed, barely conscious.
"Sakura?" Touya questioned as he saw his sister. Sakura sat still, her head down, trying to catch her breath. Yue moved closer to Sakura, worried. She looked like she was about to collapse, which was true. "Sakura-sama?" He asked her, worry in his voice, making Sakura look up. "Touya!" Sakura exclaimed and laid a gentle hand on his arm. "Are you alright?" He nodded, pretty much filled with energy. But, he felt his magic missing. "How..." Touya trailed off, seeing his sister's eyes. She looked so tired...
"Are you alright?" Touya's worried voice was one of the things that brought her back to the real world. She smiled weakly at her brother and soulmate. "The questions should be, are YOU two alright?" The two men nodded a little as Yue started to help Sakura up. She straightened her dress and with a little help from her magic, managed to clean her face of any tear stains. She smiled at Yue as he slipped back into his false form and watched as Yukito came back to existance. Yukito smiled at them, even though Yukito had been given an explaination, he knew something else, other than what he had been told had happened. "What happened?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eriol Hirragizawa sighed in relief. Everything was fine now, Yue was safe from harm and Touya wasn't hurt in the process either. Everything was going better than he had first thought of it as. He sighed again as he shut all of his magic off and let Sakura and co set everything right between each other. Perhaps Sakura would be able to seperate the two men and let them have different lives. Eriol smiled a little before getting out of his chair, moving towards where his Guardians stood.
"I didn't get to have my present. I want my present!" Nakuru whined and Spinel just sighed, hanging his great head. "You knew that it would never become your's, Ruby Moon. Now, quit whining and get that movie finished!" She whined a little more, but moved to comply. Spinel Sun watched, amused as his master fumed. "Why can't she be a little calmer? I know I created her to be basically opposit of Yue, but not THAT much! I know she's lovable most of the time, but how can she be hyper every single minute of her life?" Spinel smiled at his fumming master, not a single word escaping his lips. "Oh well, I suppose the movie thing will be finished soon and now I have to figure out a new plan and it sucks! I can't think of anything now...all my plans are used up!" This time, Spinel Sun bursted out laughing, drawing a look from his master.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura sat down on the bed as the two boys stayed standing. "What happened?" Yukito asked again, a confused smile on his face. "Well, I can't tell you right now. Everything will be explained soon though. When we are ready for it. For now, just trust us and know that you aren't the most normal person in the world." Sakura commented, her eyes just about ready to close, but Touya pulled her up from the bed and chased her out of the room with his best friend. "For now, we have to go and finished this movie thing. Then we can talk about this tonight over dinner. I'll tell you everything that I know." Yukito looked satisfied enough and that was that.
The group walked out into the yard and the last scene was shot. Sakura watched, finally out of her green dress and with Tomoyo supporting her. There was so many emotions and some of them were so intense, giving her a headache. Tomoyo was somewhat curious about what had happened in the 30 minutes they were off the set, but Sakura had told everyone that they were having a break because she had felt sick. But, Tomoyo knew better. She had caught the small wink Sakura had given her and knew that something magical had happened.
"So, care to enlighten me?" Tomoyo asked, bringing Sakura out of her daze. "I don't think I can yet. I need time to work out what happened and perhaps to get some rest and recharge a little before I can think straight. All I can tell you at the moment is that everything is going to be perfectly fine." Tomoyo smiled at her best friend and was returned the gesture. "I just can't wait till Sunday! It would be so much fun to see your first ever movie, Sakura! I just can't wait!" Sakura smiled at her as she jumped up and down, literally with joy.
Yukito turned his head to see what the fuss was about and when his eyes stopped on the honey brown haired girl, a thought came into his mind, "Mistress" and then there was no more. Yue took over his eyes and mind only to see Sakura smiling tiredly at her best friend. She looked so pretty, but she looked fragile, delicate. But he knew that somewhere in her was power, power that even Clow Reeds did not possess. She was greater than everyone Yue had ever known in his life time. Yue was amazed at the power his Mistress had, yet the purity of her mind, her beautiful mind. She was beautiful and so would their future.
Chapter 10
