Lost in Hong Kong Ch.2
Yue Finally Learns Expression.
All three ran back down into the part of the city where they had seen the information booth. However when they stopped at where it was nothing was there but a sign that said "SEE YOU SUCKERS!" All three sighed. "Well now what?" Xing asked. Kero looked up at Yue. "What now Yue?" Yue scratched his head. "Well now that we have money it shouldn't be too hard to bribe somebody into giving us directions…
It was harder than Yue thought though. They had asked every single person on the streets for directions but nothing helped. Everyone was drunk, grumpy, untrustworthy or asleep. Once again they had spent hours trying to get a decent answer from somebody about how to get out of the city. Xing began to stumble a little and fell into Yue's arms. "You're good at that…" Kero said looking at Yue. "Yeah I know…" the moon guardian replied. "I'm sorry guys…I'm usually in bed way before this hour. An eight year old has to have her beauty sleep you know?" she smiled gently. "It's alright I definitely understand that one…" Yue said picking her up.
Cerberus looked up. "We'll find our way home and we'll find your mom! I promise!" the lion said. Yue looked up and tried to think. "Kero it is late…Maybe we should go ahead and stay at an in…" Cerberus nodded and they began to head towards the nearest in.
At the Inn which was title the Xia Inn, Xing had fallen asleep on one of the beds. After awhile of trying to think of how to find a way home and the girl's mother, Kero went to sleep. This was odd because usually it was Yue who was the first to crash. Whenever there was a time where Yue had to listen to Cerberus or Clow Reed, it was common for them to look away and ramble on for a moment and turn back and find Yue sitting at a table with his head down. Pretending to be crying or stressed when he was really just trying to catch some extra Zs.
"Yue are you alright?" Yue turned and found Xing looking up at him still lying down. "Yes" he replied in a calm tone.
"You look like you're upset…I bet you miss your family." Yue nodded. "A little…I guess it's nice to get a break from them." he replied. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Xing asked out of nowhere. "Yue looked down. "….What?" Xing smiled. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Yue rolled his eyes gently smiling. "No I don't. I never really had time for that kind of thing. And I doubt Clow would let me…get that close to a human." He said sitting down against the wall. "Who is Clow?" Xing asked.
Yue released his hair from the messy long braid he had done earlier and put the ribbon in his hand. "I guess you could say he's my father. But he created both me and Cerberus." They looked over at Kero and he was drooling on the floor and one of his legs twitched.
"Have you had any ideas of what to do tomorrow?" Xing asked still looking over at Kero. Yue sighed. "I got nothing to be honest…" he leaned his head against the wall and shut his eyes for a moment. "Don't worry…We'll think of something." Xing replied yawning.
"Is he STILL asleep Kero!" Xing asked the next morning. Both her and Cerberus were eating breakfast that they had picked up earlier that morning without waking up Yue. "Yeah he sleeps WAY too much. It's like his favorite pastime." Kero said putting some rice in his mouth. "Man he was up a little late last night but it's almost noon now!"
Cerberus smirked and began to snicker. "You know what's really fun though? Playing jokes on him while he's asleep!" Xing looked over at the lion. "You really do that when he's asleep?" "OH YEAH ALL THE TIME!" Kero bragged. He got up and crawled over to Yue who lay asleep on the ground. "Watch this…" Kero whispered to Xing. He lunged over Yue but missed as Yue quickly sat up and pinned him to the ground. "Nice try…" He mumbled in a sleepy voice. "Get off Yue!" "Say you're an idiot." Yue commanded. The lion growled. "FINE you're an idiot!" Yue tightened his arm around the lion's neck. "ALRIGHT FINE I'M AN IDIOT!" Kero shouted and Yue let go. Yue rubbed his forehead and stood up. Xing looked up at him. "Are you hungry Yue?" she asked smiling. "I don't eat." He stated. "Are you ready to leave?" She and Kero nodded and they went back out to find their way home.
The streets were full once again. However, the three gave up on the idea of asking for directions. So they decided to go to a fortune teller. While going through a back ally down behind a small pawnshop they ran into a fortune teller. ((For those of you who have seen the movie you know she later meets Clow Reed. Dun dun DUN!))
"Hello three travelers looking for home." She said when they first past her. Yue gave her the cold shoulder but Xing and Kero were FACINATED! "HOW did you know we were LOST!" Kero asked amazed. "I know many things….Like how to find home…" She said tapping her finger gently over a large bowl of water. She looked up at Yue. "I also can read the thoughts of a troubled one…" Yue looked around and crossed his arms. "An A for effort but everyone has troubles. Let's go Kero."
"Wait! Let me ask her how to get Xing home first!" Yue rolled his eyes and stood there with his arms still crossed. The fortune teller looked down at the bowl of water. "The way home lies south. Way south of the Island." She said with her eyes closed. "We came from the south…."Yue mumbled. This was ridicules. "She says WAY south Yue! Maybe outside of the city!" Kero said turning around. Yue once again rolled his eyes. "You shall find home there, don't bother paying me…Go!" said the fortune teller. Kero went and tugged on Yue's pants and he followed both Xing and Kero and they headed south.
"Kero I think this is a bad idea…" Yue said as they walked up the steep hill. Kero had Xing on his back asleep and the wind was blowing semi-hard. "We must do this Yue! We've come so far!" Yue looked back… "We haven't even left the city! I can still see the alley we were just at from here!" a man with his wife and kids passed by as well as other members of the crowd. Kero looked down. "…Oh sure ruin the moment…" the lion mumbled. As they headed south, Xing noticed as she slowly woke up, a figure from a dark corner across the street staring at her. "Hey Kero…" Kero stopped walking. "Xing you're awake?" Xing nodded. "Yeah There's somebody staring at me…" she whispered. Kero looked over. Yue who was way ahead of them finally noticed that he had strayed almost 10 yards away from his group. "What now?" he moaned to himself running back to them. Xing explained what was going on and pointed to the figure across the street. "Wh'tspsh psh! Don't point!" Yue whispered to Xing. "Why not?" she asked. "Because he'll know we're talking about him…"Cerberus whispered. "I think he already knows…He's coming this way…." Xing stated. Both Yue and Kero looked up really fast. "Oh damn what do we do?" Yue mumbled to Kero like a ventriloquist. Kero did the same back to Yue as they both stood up perfectly strait. All Xing did was look up and down at Yue and then back at Kero.
"He's getting closer…."
"I can see that…"
"He looks Creeeeeepy!"
"I can seeeee thaaaaat…."
"We need to do somethiiiing…"
"I knoooow thaaaat!"
The stranger finally came up close to Yue of course he had to be taller than him. Yue looked back and fourth trying to avoid the whole "I'm shorter than you but I can still be mean" factor. "Excuse me…Is this your little girl?" he asked in a high raspy voice. "Umm…" Xing was about to speak but Yue took her up in his arms. "Yes she is."
"She looks nothing like you.." He replied looking into Xing's eyes. "I may have to report a kidnapping…Or you can always hand her over to me…" he hissed looking back at Yue. Kero looked back and forth.
Yue stood there looking up. "How dare you! That is sad! I mean the world has come at an all time low!" The stranger stepped back. "What do you mean?" Yue smacked him upside the head. "So just because I have long hair and blue eyes, I guess that I can't have a daughter! That is RACIST right there! What a shame….My dead wife warned me about people like you."
"Now wait just a minute I was just imply-"
"I know what you were implying!"
"My concern was-"
"DAMN your concern!" Yue picked up Xing.
"So I suppose you think I'm some sick wacko huh! Just because of the way I look!"
"Please just"
"No sir I won't! All my life I've been pushed around by tall people with Black hair!" Yue thought of Master Clow. "Well now I'M the one who is telling YOU people off! All I do every day is sit up against a wall with a plane expression on my face saying nothing and only doing what I'm told!" Kero looked around. People were starting to stare. "Ummm Yue?" He whispered. The guardian was going nuts!
"Good god did you pick the wrong day to mess with this guardian!" Yue put Xing down and grabbed the now scared stiff stranger by the shirt. "Time to show you humans the Yue you DON'T know!" Yue carried him off in an alley and everyone went back to their business. "Don't worry Xing…Yue acts like this all the time!" Screams could be heard from the alley. "Maybe we should go get something to eat…" Kero said and Xing nodded.
