Yay!! The first chapter is finally done! I thought i would never finish it! with all the pressure of school and all. *Sighs*
No use complaining ne? This story will be about Yue's supposed past and family, not to mention a whole weird warped adventure thing. It'll have lotsa Van-sama's, a bunch of Allen's, and a gazillion Dilandau stuff (my fav character). I took liberties with the whole plot thing so there'll be original stuff in it.

But anyway, this is a birthday fic for my friend Andy-chan! Dont' kill me if it ain't that great. I try, really I do! ... *Sighs*

Anyway, here it is! The first chap. of Moonligh Revelations by (your's truly) Cali-chan! C&C's are welcome at silver_elf@edsamail.com.ph m'kay?
Jaa ne!

Moonlight Revelations I
An Escaflowne and Card Captor Sakura Crossover


"Yue-san!! We did it!!", I turned slowly and looked down upon the face of my master, Sakura Kinomoto as she stands by my side. On her upturned face was a bright smile, making her gentle features light up as her bright eyes fixed on mine. I found that I could not return her excitement at having defeated this card. How can I if I cannot seem to make my heart feel? My emotions, I had lost them long ago. But my master expected something of me. And so I nodded slowly, placing a pale slender hand on her shoulder.

She seemed pleased by this small gesture and blushed softly, her cheeks tinted, rose-like in color. My master is beautiful, even at this young age. Perhaps will see the true extent of it once she grows older.

Cerberus glided slowly infront of me, the bright orange "stuff toy" as Clow's descendant Li Syaoran calls him. I have no idea what those words meant yet they seem unpleasant. Cerberus goes into a rage once hearing this.

My fellow Clow guardian grinned, tiny fang teeth visible, "Great job guys!", his eyes fell on me, "Even you were pretty ungrumpy and cold for once."

I allowed my violet eyes to narrow, my lips to tilt downwards slowly at the corners. I was displeased by his rashness. I spoke, choosing the words and letting them out carefully. After all words are a persons most powerful weapon. Often there are misunderstandings over such things and I wanted none such problems, "I am not cold."

Cerberus scoffed, obviously pleased he got me to reply, "Yeah yeah!", he crossed his tiny arms together and turned to our master, "Didya know in all the years I've known him he never even laughed once or gave me a decent conversation?"

"I do not speak unless I need to speak."

"Why not?", Cerebrus returned.

I kept silent. These arguments were reawakening memories I had long thought were buried forever in the folds of my mind. 'Why not?' My brother's words exactly. He was the leader then, although I was the older one. He was the one who challenged, argued, fought. The leader whom I followed and loved.

"Oi Yue! You OK?"

I had drifted off again. It was starting to rain, soft droplets running thought my hair, sliding down like tears on my cheeks. Sighing softly I turned and walked away, shaking my wings to let out the droplets that had managed to slip in between my ghost white feathers.

"Yue-san?"

I stopped. My master wanted me to stay. Sakura moved to stand infront of me, then in a small act of courage, took one of my cold white hands in both of hers and bowed her head, her strands of honey gold hair covering all expression.

"You don't have to do it."

It was more of a statement than an answer, so I did not speak. Merely placed my other hand to tilt her chin, forcing her to meet my eye.

What was this? Tears? For whom?

"Yue-san, if it hurts you to help me, then you don't have to....", the grip on my hand tightened, some of her warmth drove away the cold. It felt good, I had been cold for so long. But I could see she expected an answer. I knelt infront of her, taking both hands and resting them on her soft tear-streaked cheeks.

"You are my master. I will do whatever you wish me to."

She drew away, tears fell once more, "NO! That's just it!" I allowed my eyes to show my hurt. It pained me to cause her such distress, my kind master who loved me. Or did she just love 'him'. My shadow. The part of me I gave up on, giving it it's own life so I would never have to bother with such petty human problems.

Pain.
Loneliness.
Love.

Perhaps Yukito had the better end of the bargain. Even if he was the side of me who bore all the pain, the one who truly had to live, he was the one who held the love of so many. While I, I was alone. Who was I but the being in the back of his mind who, although detached from him as he was to me, managed to draw some warmth from the kind things people did for him, the love they gave. Perhaps I was the shadow, not him. Perhaps he is the real Yue.

Perhaps.

Sakura was crying uncontrollably now. I tried to tell her she was my master. I would follow her forever but this seemed to worsen it. Finally she stopped and looked up at me, those beautiful green eyes stained with red around the edges.

"Yue-san. I don't want you to follow me because I'm your master. It's like....", She brushed an arm across her eye, "It's like you're saying whatever I say you'll do! No matter what it is you just do it!"

"Ofcourse. You are my-"

"Stop it!!!", Now she was the one who placed her hands on my cheek, "You're not a thing Yue-san! I don't own you just because I'm you're master! You're your own person!", her voice grew into a whisper, "I can't own a soul. That's why- why I..... I'll set you free."

Freedom.....

I stood up slowly. I felt strange. Lighter. Was this how a 'free' person felt. I was confused. All this time, I was in captivity?

Cerberus rested on Sakura's shoulder and when my gaze went to my masters face, she was smiling.

"You're free now Yue-san! You can do whatever you want! Go anywhere you want to! You don't little old me to worry about now."

Then it struck me. The bitter feeling I had long thought I had lost.

Loneliness.

Why?

Because I loved. I loved Cerberus, as he was my first friend. I loved Sakura as she was unbelievably kind and wise. I loved Touya.... Why?

Then I felt the strangest feeling surround me. Warmth. Enlightenment.

I heard Sakura gasp. I turned to her, seeing her and Ceberus face filled with surprise. Then I looked and my hand. It had taken on color, no longer the marble whiteness. My hair was shortening. I looked at my reflection in a puddle and saw my eyes. They were violet flicked with gold. And I felt.

I felt emotions.

"Yue-san...."

I turned to her, smiling softly while touching my cheek. We were one. Me and my shadow were one now, "Iya, Sakura-chan. You don't have to call me that anymore."

I spread my wings and prepared for flight. Something was calling me.

Sakura ran up to me, "Matte! Yue-s- I mean Yuki-..... eto......."

I laughed softly at her confusion. It felt good to laugh, "Nani Sakura-chan?"

"Where are you going? Are you leaving us?"

"Iya. I'm just going on a much put off family visit.", I knelt and kissed her forehead, "I'll be back soon."

Her brows furrowed. Cute. Sakura-chan was so adorable, "What should I call you? You're not Yukito anymore. You're not Yue either."

The memories came again.

{Why not?}

{Mother will be furious!!}

{Yueki! No human will see us!! I'll take care of you nii-chan!}

"Yueki."

"Nani?"

"My name is, was, Yueki."

"Yueki....", the way she played with the sound pleased me, rolling it about her tongue as if playing with it.

I moved to leave again, but it seemed as if something was holding me back. A warm touch. A gentle smile. A loving presence.

{Yuki.}

"Sakura-chan?"

"Ha-hai?"

"Can you explain this to To-ya for me? Can you tell him....", I found that words have abandoned me. What could I possibly say to explain my absence?

Sakura nodded firmly as if she understood. Perhaps she did. My master was no fool and had shown wisdom beyond her years in to many a time. She walked forward and gave me a small shove, "I'll tell him all he needs to know. Go on Yueki!", she giggled, "That name needs getting used too!", she managed to smile for me, small sad expression on her face, "Don't forget to come home m'kay? And bring your family if you want to."

I hugged her. She was so understanding and sad that I had to. She grasped my tunic with both of her small hands as she hugged me back, pressing her face against my chest.

She finally pulled away, and turning swiftly, she ran home. Cerberus looked at me and nodded before following her.

Now there was nothing that was holding me back.

Freedom.

I then took to the air. I was going home.
