A Humanising Influence.

CHAPTER 13 - Caught In The Act.
Sakura stood at the bottom of the stairs arms crossed and one small foot tapping impatiently on the floor as her brother and her Guardian took their sweet time.
"Sorry about this Eriol."
The English boy held up a hand. "There's no need to apologise, you know it's not necessary for them to come down-."
"It's bad manners!"
Kero's chose this moment to chime in. "I perfectly agree Sakura, I fear Yue is being a bad influence on you're brother-."
"Kero stop trying to cause trouble, it's far more likely for it to be the other way round. Have you ever known Yue to be rude?"
The Sun Guardian gave her a look that plainly said, 'yeah.' Sakura revised her statement. "Okay but that was after the Final Judgment and before I'd transformed all of the cards, recently he's been."
"What?" Eriol prompted suddenly extremely interested.
"Just.nicer, easier to talk to and today he actually smiled not to mention he fought back when Kero insulted him. Usually he just stands there, impassive." Touya still hadn't come down. "ONIICHAN!"
The glossy haired boy nodded thoughtfully and knuckled his chin.
"Yeah, it's soooo nice to have him back to full fighting form." Kero's voice dripped with sarcasm. "I've missed the venom, the sting and.oh yeah, the bad attitude! YUE! GET YOU'RE PANCAKE KIDNAPPING BUTT DOWN HERE!"
"Kero." Sakura giggled. "You're just sore because he won a couple of rounds which to be honest he usually manages without even speaking."
Sakura foot tapping increased. Where was Touya?
The Guardian Beast frowned darkly. This is all Yue's fault!
"ONIICHAN!"/"YUE!" They yelled as one and the pair revealed themselves. Sakura watched her brother who was in front and holding the banister securely when he normally loped down two steps at a time. His tanned cheeks were slightly flushed and his eyes avoided looking directly at his sister. Her Guardian appeared as composed as ever, each hair immaculately in place but with a definite gleam of mischief lurking behind his leonine eyes.
"Has the gaki gone home?" Touya asked hopefully.
Yue watched his mistress grit her teeth before replying. "No, he's in the sitting room with Tomoyo."
"So you haven't made them come out for all the pointless pleasantries then."
"They said good-night ages ago while we were waiting for you to get down here! What took you so long anyway?"
Eriol looked between the two men knowingly.
A heated blush somehow managed to show through her brother's dark skin as he hastily changed the subject. "Have you cleaned up the mess in the kitchen?"
"Ye-es."
The dark haired brother was evidently unconvinced. "I'll just double check shall I?" He made to move past the gathering.
"Touya! Say goodbye to Eriol first!"
"Hmmn? Oh." More because he knew it would irritate him than due to affection Touya ruffled the blue-black hair. "See you kid."
Sakura shook her head despairingly at the retreating back. "Eriol I-"
"SAKURA!" Her brother yelled.
"Hai?"
"There's still a loud of pudding left on the table!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "There is!?" Kero cried and flew off to the kitchen.
"Sorry Eriol I-." She started only to be interrupted again.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?" The unmistakable sound of a Sun Guardian in morsel distress.
"Oh come off it cuddly! It was cold!" Sakura grimaced, her oniichan was skating on *very* thin ice.
"So what, you just throw it away?"
"Well duh!"
"THIS TIME I'M REALLY GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"WELL BRING IT ON FLUFFY!" The mistress, the former master's half- reincarnation and the Guardian's brother all winced at this suicidal provocation from the safety of the porch.
* SMASH! *
Sakura jumped. "Sayonara Eriol, thank's again for coming-."
* CRASH! *
The emerald eyed girl cast an apologetic glance at her guest before she rushed into the fray. Eriol looked back at Yue and found him smiling in the direction of his mistress. How he had missed that smile, whispered the ancient part of him, the part that had struggled against the thought of what Touya and his Angel were likely to have been doing upstairs all this time.
Clow was the one that would always love the Guardian but Eriol shared the superficial attraction, who wouldn't? Indeed, he was probably acting equally on his behalf as he was on the other compelling whisper in his being as he waited for Yue to focus on him before making his request.
"Yue, I-Clow.ca-can I hold you?" The silver haired vision in front of him blinked in surprise but sank onto his knees readily enough so that he became Eriol's height. He waited patiently but Eriol was clearly embarrassed by his words and his arms paused in mid-air. Sighing in affection and exasperation Yue closed the distance between them and swept the boy against him. Having been saved from making the first move Eriol sighed blissfully and succumbed to the familiar but long denied aura that was entirely Yue. He closed his arms around his creation's neck and buried his face in the hair his former self had so intricately designed. Yue, he said silently, there is something I must tell you but I don't want you to hate me.
Touya, having been ordered into a retreat by one very pissed of Sakura Card Mistress, came to an abrupt halt as he witnessed the scene between his love and what he saw as his rival.
* I'm changing the mood again I'm afraid, things have been too light- hearted for far too long.R&R pppppppllllllleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee
