Unearthly
By magic of the moon
[A/N: This is a short story on my favourite set of guardians- Kero and Yue! Clow decides to send the pair to mortal school for the day. How will things turn out? It's my first fanfic, so try to stay with me, okay? Enjoy, and please R&R! ]
Disclaimer: Surprise, surprise, I don't own CCS. Yue, Kero, and Clow Reed all belong to CLAMP. Heck, even the Reed mansion belongs to CLAMP. Although I do wish I owned Yue and Kero. In my dreams, huh?
Unearthly Chapter 1-
He's WHAT?!
Snow drifted lazily onto the grounds surrounding the Reed mansion. It had a powerful magic spell casted on it, to prevent it from being seen by uninvited passerbies. Indeed, it was no ordinary mansion. It belonged to Clow Reed, the world's most powerful magician of both the eastern and western spheres. Having been a mix of both magics, this made Clow very strong in any type of magic. Just a few months ago, he had created a magical set of cards called Clow Cards, named after himself. And rather recently, he also created two guardians—Keroberos, Guardian Beast of the Seal, ruled by the sun; and Yue, Judgement Angel, ruled by the moon —to guard the Cards and help the Cardcaptor once he passed away.
The two guardians were growing fast. Now both at three months old, they had the appearance of three-year-olds. Clow had created them to mature faster than normal children, but never age past full adulthood. Therefore, they were immortal. It would be a lonely existence, but at least they had each other. Plus, it was for the greater good of the magic world.
For you see, from a young age, Clow was predicted to be the savior of the failing magic world. He would create a whole new magic. Because of this, his family trained him unlike the rest. He was spoiled and sheltered more than the other boys. As soon as Clow grew old enough, he ran away to escape on his own. This caused a great rivalry to begin with the Reed family, his father's side of the family, and the Li Clan, his mother's side. They blamed each other for the loss of this great magician. But as predicted, Clow soon did create a new magic. These were later revealed to be the Clow Cards.
Along with the Cards, he created a book to seal them and their guardians in. This would be where they would stay until the next Cardcaptor opened the book. The Clow Book wasn't like any other book. Its seal could only be broken by a person with strong magical abilities. This would ensure that the Cards did not end up in the wrong hands. On the cover, Keroberos would be sealed. On the back, a crescent moon with wings represented Yue.
"KEROBEROS! WHERE ARE YOU, YOU DIRTY LITTLE PIG!?" A shout rang out through the house and interrupted the mage's thoughts. Clow sighed. It looked like his creations were at it again.
"I SAID I WAS SOR-"
"THERE YOU ARE! BASTARD! "
"I DIDN'T KNOW THE PUDDING WAS STILL IN PROGRESS!"
"I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T READY YET!"
"I JUST WANTED A TASTE! I DIDN'T MEAN TO EAT IT ALL! IT WAS JUST SO GOOD AND I WAS HUNGRY…"
"GREEDY PIG!"
"I *SAID* I WAS SORRY!"
Clow shook his head to himself. Third time this week. A new record. He never thought his guardians would be so riotous. /Soon…/ he thought to himself. /Soon they shall mature. They are still kids…/
"Keroberos! Yue!" Clow called them down. A bright idea had just popped into his head. "Attend me. Now!"
"Hai, Master!" the yelling ceased, and both replied in union. A few seconds later, a golden lion and a white-clad angel came flying down the sets of stairs. They found their master in the third floor study.
"One day, I will not be here to solve your problems. What will you do then? You will need to blend in with the mortals while in hiding. You must not draw attention to yourselves." Clow began, grinning to himself.
"I don't like where this is going," Keroberos muttered to his counterpart. "He's got the twinkle in his eye."
"He's got an idea." Yue deadpanned.
They knew what this meant. Whenever Clow had an 'idea', it would usually end up a big mess. Like that time he thought dating the fortune-teller Marin was a good idea, until she used her magic to cause trouble, he got blamed for teaching her, and ended up having to seal her away in a well. Or that time he kept the Card spirits in his house as pets and resulted in a chaos. Neighbors demanded to know why they heard voices and saw translucent figures in the mansion. Clow ended up having to move to England to escape the ghost-hunters after him.
"So to give you two a better experience at the outside world, I will be sending you both to school tomorrow." Clow finished.
"You're WHAT?!" both guardians screamed in horror.
"It will help you learn to live among them in your false forms. Yue, you shall go as Tsukishiro Yukito and Keroberos, you shall go as his 'stuffed toy' in your false form as well."
"I'm not a stuffed toy!" objected Keroberos.
"No, you aren't. But mortals must think you are. Or else they'll get scared." explained his master.
"But Cloooooooooow…" Yue whined.
"No buts. It has been decided." Clow said.
Both guardians left the study, pouting and sulking. Yue was extremely upset, because this meant he had to stick around clueless mortals (or as he referred to them, muggles) who had absolutely no magic powers. Keroberos was just upset that he would have to stay away from the pudding-stocked kitchen for a whole day.
"They'll learn," Clow reassured himself, before picking up a book and beginning to read.
