Cerberus
*****************
I shouted Yue's name, as I searched for him.
This forest was like a maze, with all sorts of twists and turns.
I wasn't certain if I could even find my little brother in this endless jungle. It seemed to stretch on for miles.
"Yue!" I called, praying he would somehow hear me.
To my surprise, I suddenly heard Yue's voice saying something.
"No! My Master said to never go anywhere with strangers!"
I ran in the direction of the voice.
A small figure ran directly into me.
I looked and gasped. "Yue!"
My younger brother looked at me, with fear and confusion in his eyes. He backed away slowly. "Who are you?" he asked.
"Yue, it's me, Cerberus. I'm your brother, remember?" I said, hurt that Yue didn't seem to remember me.
Yue frowned. "I don't know you," he said.
A shadowy figure hissed Yue's name.
Anger and fear showed on Yue's face as he looked towards the figure.
He instantly ran away from whoever it was.
I blocked the figure when he tried to follow Yue.
"Why are you chasing my little brother?" I demanded.
In response, the figure removed his hood and smirked at me.
It was Hakaisha!
I was stunned. "How did you get here?"
"This is just an illusion, Guardian," Hakaisha sneered. "It's my magic, which is working to force Yue to take his life force from me."
"I won't allow it," I told him. "Neither will Master Clow. You will not take Yue!"
"We shall see who is better, Guardian," Hakaisha hissed. His form dissolved away, chasing after Yue.
I turned and ran after Yue.
*****************
Yue
*****************
Who was that other boy, I wondered. He said his name Cerberus, but I didn't know him.
He also claimed to be my brother. I didn't remember having a brother.
I didn't know what to believe. I just knew that I had to keep running, or the shadow person would take me away.
Away from what? I didn't know that, either.
I was so lost and confused.
I felt like I was being torn in two.
"Who am I?" I shouted, as I stopped running. I put my hands on my face, trying to remember. "Why can't I remember anything?"
"Yue?"
I whirled around.
It was the boy again.
He approached me slowly. "It's me, Yue. I'm here to help you," he said gently.
I looked at him and backed away. "I don't know you. My Master told me not to anywhere with a stranger."
"Yue, I am not a stranger. I am your brother," the figure said. "It's me, Cerberus."
"I still don't know you," I whispered. "All I know is that the shadow person is after me, and he scares me."
To my shock, Cerberus put his arms around me.
"I won't let him hurt you, Yue. I promise," he told me softly. "I am your older brother, and I will always protect you."
An image snapped through my memory.
*******************
Flashback
*******************
I saw myself, standing there with a golden leopard-like creature.
"Just because you're my older brother doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do, Cerberus," I said. "You don't know everything.
Cerberus laughed and nuzzled me. "I know that, Yue. Never believe anyone when they claim to know everything."
A frown appeared on my face. "But Master Clow knows everything," I protested.
"No, Yue, I do not," a gentle voice said from behind me. "Cerberus is right. No-one can know everything, not even me."
I turned and saw my kind Master standing there.
A smile lit on my face when I saw him.

"Cerberus?" I asked. "You… didn't use to be humanoid, did you?"
He chuckled softly and shook his head. "No, Yue. It was Clow's doing. This is the Dream World."
"Why are we here?" I gazed at him.
"Do you remember what happened with Hakaisha?" Cerberus inquired.
I focused.
The memories snapped through me.
The pain I'd felt when my magic had been stolen from me.
The agony.
The utter fear and loneliness.
And the memory of what Cerberus, Ruby, and Spinel had been saying about me.
I pulled away from Cerberus suddenly.
"What's wrong?" He looked at me, concerned.
I looked at him and shouted, "You didn't stop Ruby and Spinel from saying nasty things about me. What kind of brother is that?"
Cerberus said, "Yue, I can explain-"
"I don't want your explanation! I heard it myself! All you could say was that 'it wasn't my fault the way I was created'!" I quoted.
He flinched. "Yue, you're in danger. You need to come with me," he pleaded.
"Why should I go anywhere with you?" Hurt and resentment were on my face.
I felt strange inside as the shadowy figure appeared once more and leapt at me.
He knocked me to the ground.
"You will be mine, Yue!" my unknown assailant yelled. He touched my face and it burned.
Pain intermingled with my screams of agony.
***************
Normal POV
***************
Clow Reed sat on the bed, watching Yue and Cerberus for any signs of a change.
He suddenly felt a wrench in the magic inside of Yue.
Hakaisha's magic was starting to take over the young Guardian.
Cerberus, you must hurry, Clow thought. Or it will be too late to stop it…
