Chapter 8: Return of the Guardians
*Sakura's POV*
I lay on the floor in front of the Kinomoto Castle, exhausted. Never before have I summoned so many Elemental Cards at once. I was very thankful that they came through for me. I looked at the sleeping Syaoran. I had already healed him, but he still needed rest. I brushed aside his hair and pulled the blankets higher on his body. Before, I had scavenged a blanket from the burnt castle. I was currently using it to cover him up as I washed his bloodstained clothes with the Bubble Card. I looked at the sleeping warrior in front of me. I thought about how gallantly he had tried to take Akumaki head-on. I owed him my life. I sat by the fire and waited for him to wake up. It was the least I could do. As I was reflecting, I thought about my family. Tears sprang in my eyes as I realized that I was now an orphan. Maybe I could bring them back? I looked up into the heavens and prayed that my family would come back to me. A single tear fell from my eye and dropped onto something shiny. I looked at it as it sparkled. It was a crystal. I gasped; this was mine! I closed eyes as old memories flooded through my mind.
*Flashback*
Happy birthday my darling Sakura. Nadeshiko whispered as she strung a crystal on a chain around my neck.
Happy birthday little Ying-fa. Fujitaka said.
Happy birthday little kaiijuu. Touya mumbled smirking. He earned a kick for that, but my attention soon turned back to the crystal.
I gasped as I looked at the beautiful crystal. The sun's rays seemed to be caught inside it. I looked up at the castle's white marble walls as the sunlight reflected off of it and made intricate patterns of light on the walls.
Thank you all!! I cried sweeping them into a hug.
This is no ordinary crystal Sakura. Fujitaka said gravely.
It will make one wish come true, but it was to be a true desire. One of the deepest desires that comes from the heart and soul. Use it wisely Cherry Blossom.
*End Flashback*
New tears sparkled in my eyes as I remembered all those happy moments I had shared with my family. Then I remembered what I had said to them when I had left. I was angry when I left them. Guilt stung my heart.
I yelled at them. I whispered to myself as I stared into the fire with my unseeing eyes.
~They probably thought I hated them!!~ I thought.
Kami-sama, what have I done? I cried hugging my knees and rocking back and forth.
What have I done?? I whispered as tears streamed down my cheeks like never-ending rivers.
I clasped the crystal shard in my fist as a squeezed it as tight as I could.
~Please bring them back.~ I pleaded in my mind.
~Please, I'll do anything.~ I thought desperately as more tears made their way down my cheeks.
Suddenly the crystal started glowing. I looked at the light glowing through my clasped fingers. I gasped and released the crystal. A figure started to come from it. Who could it be? A white head popped out, followed by midnight blue eyes and a pale face. White wings folded onto the back stretched out to a full 6 ½' feet. I had only seen him once, and that was in my dreams.
Yue! I said gaping at the beautiful winged angel in front of me. But that wasn't all. A large lion like creature soon followed him.
Cerberus! Why are you guys here?! I cried out looking at them both.
We came because Clow-Sama sent us. Yue said in an icy tone.
C-Clow Read!?! I stuttered.
Yes, Clow Read. Have you ever had poems pop out in your head at times yet you do not know where they come from? Cerberus asked me.
Y-yeah. I said not knowing what his point was.
That's him. Yue said sighing and looking around with his cat-like amethyst eyes.
Really?! I asked amazed.
Yes. Yue said exasperated and looking into my eyes.
~Why is he so pretty?!?!~ I thought.
He was indeed pretty with his long floor-length white hair. I had always wondered how it never got dirty being dragged on the floor. He was incredibly pale and had piercing blue eyes that matched the pendant on his chest.
Sensing annoyance, I looked up at him with innocent eyes.
Sorry for asking Yue, I won't bother you again. I muttered walking back to Syaoran's side and sitting down staring at the floor.
~#~
(AN: sorry to those Yue lovers, I am having Yue moody in this story, please forgive me! No flames please! ^^;;)
*Regular POV*
Is that how you treat your Master?!?! Cerberus asked furiously at Yue.
No one ever said she was my Master.Clow is still my Master, and I intend to keep it that way. Yue retorted coldly.
Yue, you know that Clow is not your rightful Master anymore, no matter how much you don't want to accept it. You cannot change it. Besides.he's dead. Cerberus said matching Yue's icy tone.
Yue didn't reply.
Yue! Why are you so difficult! Sakura had already changed the cards into Sakura Cards, she owns them now Yue. Don't be stubborn. Cerberus said walking away from the very irritated angel.
*Yue's POV*
~How could that young inexperienced girl be my Master?~ I thought furiously.
~How is that possible? She.she's too young to become more powerful than Clow! I don't understand.~
~Don't be like this Yue; don't be biased. Your love for Clow is just stubborn of letting him go. He's gone Yue.~ a small voice thought in my head
~No!! Shut up! That's not possible!~ I thought clutching my head in my hands trying to shut out the voice inside.
~Yue, just accept it. I think I'm going to come out now. I don't think people would like to be around someone who's angry and bitter.~ the voice said before it disappeared.
Soon, my body started changing. My long white hair turned gray and shorted drastically. It inched up my back and stopped at the back of my head. My white robes vanished and were soon replaced by a shirt and slacks. My eyes turned a deep brown and were framed with wire glasses. I had become Yukito.
I walked over to where Sakura and Syaoran were. They were both asleep on the floor next to a dying fire. I noticed that Sakura's hand was clenched in a fist around a shard of crystal. I had heard her cries and pleas for her family, but I couldn't do a thing about it. In her arm, she clutched a stuffed toy. I realized that it was Kero, the false form of Cerberus. I sighed, I was alone. I glanced at Syaoran, he was pale from blood loss, but I think he would be fine. Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to negotiate with Yue. I sat down by the fire and closed my eyes. I looked into the back of my head, in the darkness, I could make out a white angel sitting in the back. Pouting. I soon fell into a deep slumber.
*Dream*
Yukito walked along the shores of a lake. The water was calm and smooth. There was no wind. The night was still, nothing disturbed it.
The moon was large and full. It reflected in the lake, large and pale.
Yukito sat down on an overhang, near the lake. Peering into the water, looking directly in the moon's reflection.
Yue?
The moon's reflection disappeared. The water started to ripple as a white head emerged from the water followed by the rest of Yue's body, his wings spread wide and dripping with water. He looked down at me.
What is it Yukito? he asked softly.
Why do you not accept Sakura as the new Master?
Yue sighed.
I cannot answer that now Yukito.perhaps some other time. he said softly and waving his hand.
*End Dream*
I immediately woke up, and for once in my life, I was irritated.
~Why did Yue have to be so stubborn at times?~ I thought standing up and grumbling under my breath.
Then I could sense it. Someone was watching us. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled as I felt someone's eyes watching my every move. I willed a little bit of Yue to come back, I didn't want them to notice anything different. It was good that Sakura and Syaoran were still asleep. I could feel Yue's presence get stronger as my eyes turned azure. I waved my hand and muttered a spell under my breath as the fire burned brighter. If it were Akumaki, he wouldn't be able to see, if it was someone else.then it was a very stupid move. Taking a risk, I changed to Yue and grabbed Sakura and Syaoran in my arms. Then I took off into the sky white shooting ice crystals at the fire. By then, Sakura woke up.
Yue! she hissed looking at the ground, which was a good 20 feet from where they were. Then she woke up Kero by poking him and throwing him into the air.
Hey.what!!? he said angrily as he flapped his tiny wings before he hit the ground. He immediately shot back up to yell at her, but she wasn't interested anymore.
I'll help with whatever you're doing! she said growing her wings and trying to haul Syaoran from my arms.
Then, Syaoran woke up.
G'morning Sakura.WHAT THE HELL?!?! WHY AM I SO HIGH OFF THE GROUND!?! he shouted.
He immediately started struggling.
Syaoran!! Sakura shouted grabbing from me and holding him up.
There's someone watching us Sakura. I said.
Alarmed, she shot off in another direction with such speed, that Kero and I had a hard time catching up.
~#~
You think we lost them? she asked breathlessly.
Yes. said a pouting Kero.
.yes. Syaoran squeaked, his eyes were wide and dry, his hair extra tousled up.
Sakura looked down at him and burst out laughing nearly dropping him in the process.
Hey! It's not funny! Watchit! Don't drop me! he growled fake-scowling at her.
I think I'll hold him. I offered annoyed.
No! I have an idea! I could use the Fly Card on him too! Maybe it will work? It's worth a try right?
She handed Syaoran to me and held her necklace while she muttered words and pushed her hands toward Syaoran.
A pink glow erupted from her palms and was sent at Syaoran. He yelped and struggled in my arms not knowing what to do.
Be still! I hissed getting rather impatient.
He just scowled at me, but he stopped struggling as the pink magic went around to his back. I dropped him as the wings started to grow out of his back.
They were long and very.pink. I snorted at the sight of them.
~Pink.how interesting.~ I thought.
When Sakura saw them, she burst out laughing so hard she nearly dropped out of the sky. Baffled, Syaoran looked behind him at his wings. His eyes widened when he saw the color and nearly bulged out of his head. His face became flushed as he glared at Sakura.
CAN'T YOU CHANGE THE COLOR?!?! he yelled at her.
But I think pink is your color! It looks great on you!! she yelled back, giggling. His eyes just bulged even more as he turned and looked at Kero and me pleadingly.
How would YOU like having pink wings?!?! he asked enraged.
Kero snorted.
I wouldn't. he said. Then mumbled something including the words 'that Gaki'.
I just chuckled and rolled my eyes.
But, I don't.
This enraged him even more as he turned to look desperately at Sakura.
Okay, okay, I'll change the color. she grumbled.
Then she rubbed her hands together forming a pink ball in between them as she shot it at his wings turning them white.
Happy? she asked.
Yes, better, a LOT better. he mumbled flying ahead.
Where are we going Miss? I asked. I deliberately said 'Miss'. There was no way I was going to call her Master.
Kero shot me a dangerous look.
I just scowled at him and looked away.
*That Night At Camp in the Forest*
~Come on Yue.you can't do this forever.~ Yukito said annoyed.
~Oh yes I can.~ I retorted to him.
~COME ON YUE!!!~ he shouted angrily. ~Give her a chance! You never give anyone chances!!~ he continued. ~Why are you so stubborn? I've never met anyone as stubborn as you in my life, and I'm PART OF YOU!! In fact, I'm your FREAKING FALSE FORM!! What's wrong with you? Why don't you-~
~SHUT UP YUKITO!!~ I shouted in my mind.
~Just think about what you are doing.you're pushing away your Master Yue. just think about it.~ he said slowly fading away.
~Yukito. come back.~ I pleaded.
No answer.
~I-I'll try.~ I thought sighing out loud.
Yue, what's wrong? Sakura asked worriedly.
Nothing, I'm fine.Master. I spat out forcefully.
Kero and Yukito beamed.
Yue, you don't have to call me Master. she continued.
But you are my Master Sakura-Sama. I said defeated.
Yue, call me Sakura! Not Master, not Sakura-Sama! she said softly.
As you wish.Sakura. I said turning around from the fire and changing into Yukito. I needed some time alone.
*Normal POV*
Hello guys! said a VERY cheerful Yukito. Anything to eat?
Everyone sweatdropped.
I guess.not? his face fell.
No, no! There is! I used the Sweet Card to create cakes and puddings! Sakura said shoving a large bowl of pudding towards Yukito.
Sakura, is there anymore pudding? Kero asked, his face covered in chocolate. Then he caught sight of Yukito's enormous bowl of pudding.
PUDDING!! he screeched as he dove right into Yukito's bowl and ate all of it.
Having never seen Cerberus in his false form, he frowned and looked at Kero quizzically.
~What is that?~ he thought to Yue as he prodded Kero with the spoon.
Kero's pudding covered face appeared and scowled at Yukito.
What's the big idea of poking me with spoons? Do I look like ice cream to you? he asked angrily, pudding flying from his mouth.
By then a large question mark had appeared on Yukito's head.
~What is it!?!?~ he asked to Yue again.
~Oh.that's Cerberus in his false form. Known as Kero. He's my.*sweatdrop* brother.~ Yue replied hesitantly.
~Oh.I see.~ Yukito thought laughing.
~What now?~ Yue asked irritably.
~That? Your brother? Whatever.~ Yukito said stopping the dialogue between them.
Yue just sighed and faded away in Yukito's mind.
Well, I'm glad you all like my cooking! the Sweet Card said surveying the mess Kero had caused.
Oh yes! Thank you very much! Sakura said beaming.
Oh yeah, I never got to thank you for saving me. Sakura said turning to Syaoran.
Why don't we go for a walk? Syaoran suggested.
Sure. Sakura replied getting up.
I'll be back! she said to Kero and Yukito.
*Syaoran's POV*
I followed her silently into the dark forest. I stood next to her, intoxicated by her scent of cherry blossoms and honey.
Where am I going to go to? she asked aloud. My family is gone.I don't have anywhere to go. Her voice cracked as a tear appeared on her cheek.
I walked closer and wiped it away.
She turned around and buried her head in my chest, sobbing.
I hugged her awkwardly. I was never good at comforting people.
Shh.don't think about it right now. I whispered looking down at her.
I know. I'm being silly. she said stepping back and wiping her eyes.
I looked down at her. Our lips were so close together. I didn't know what to do.
~You should tell her.~ a voice said in my head. ~Tell her how you feel Xiaolang.~
Sakura.I. I stopped.
What is it? she asked gently.
I-*sigh* I love you Sakura. I said looking at the floor ashamed.
~You just made a fool of yourself. She doesn't even love you back.~ I thought discouraged.
I sighed again.
I think we should go back. I mumbled.
*Sakura's POV*
~He just told me he loved me.What do I say?~
*In the Bushes*
A large disgusting looking creature watched the whole thing. The huge hairy beast grinned maliciously showing its huge yellow teeth that dripped saliva. The red eyes narrowed into slits.
I'll get you Sakura.
AN: What do you think? Please review and thanks for reading the eighth chapter of Under Cover Love! =^^=
