Warning: This chapter is rated PG13 for the follwing reasons:

1. Suggestive atmosphere including Yukito and Touya.
2. A significantly darker attitude from Syaoran.
3. A very hurt Sakura
4. Some very sad memories

*for the record, this is a flashback*

"Touya..." Yukito moaned.
Touya leaned up, pushing the covers of the bed down. "What is it? Is everything okay?" He caressed Yuki's face with his hands, "Are you hurt?"
Yukito pulled away and sat on the edge of the bed. He picked up his nightshirt from the floor and started to put it on.
"No..."
Touya sat up. "If you didn't want to...."
"Thats not it!" said Yukito.
Touya crawled across the bed and threw his arms around his husband from behind.
"Yukito, tell me what's wrong."

Yukito shook his head. "I think the time has come that we part ways, " he whispered intensely.
Touya shut his eyes tight and tightened his grip around Yukito.
"NOO!" he shouted.
"Thats...what he said to me..." Yukito continued.
The window shutters flew open and the curtains spread to the side. Moonlight poured into the room.
Yukito threw his head back, and Touya backed away. He knew this all meant Yue was coming out.
But the normal didn't occur. Long silvery wings emerged from Yukito, but Yukito screamed.
"YUKITO!!!!" Touya cried, trying to reach out to him, but the energy coming for his body was too strong.
Suddenly, another being seperated from Yukito, and he screamed louder.
The being turned, finally seperated, and the magical wind and light stopped. Yukito fell, unconsious, on the bed.
Yue was standing there.
He had seperated from Yukito.
Touya picked up Yukito in his arms and held him tight, sobbing.
"Yukito...wake up...."
Yue kneeled on the bed next to Touya.
"He will be alright, " he smiled.
Touya looked at Yue, frightened. "What....happened?" He layed Yukito down on the bed.
Yue smiled warmly. "I think the time has come that we part ways."
Touya got up and put a bathrobe on.
"What are you talking about?" He sat back down on the bed.
Yue leaned close to him.
"You and Yukito have to right to a normal life now. I should leave you both."
Touya grabbed Yue's wrists.
"Do you have to? I don't think you are a burden!"
Yue shook his head. "No, it is time for me to be reborn as a new magical creature with a new mission and magic to protect."
Touya wrapped his arms around Yue. "I'll miss you."
Yue looked into his eyes. He leaned tword him. He slipped his hands inside the top of his bathrobe, feeling his heartbeat. He pushed his lips to Touya's, and kissed him passionately.
Yue began to glow, and fade away.
"I'll miss you too." he said, and finally, dissapeared.
Yukito snapped awake. He looked around. He noticed Yue's earring on the bedsheet. And he picked it up.
"Yukito...are you okay?"
Yukito held the earring up and smashed it on the dresser.
"Why did you do that?!" Touya yelled.
Yukito smiled.
"The time has come. He told me to destroy anything he leaves behind, so that he should be freed."

It was at that moment, Two years and 84 days ago, that Syaoran looked down on Sakura.
"What the hell was that?" He growled.
Sakura began to stammer.
"That...Syaoran...it wasn't what you..." she began to sob.
He leaned down, and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to her feet rather violently.
"What WAS that? Why were you kissing him?"
Sakura continued to sob.
"We weren't...I....Syaoran, please! Forgive me!!"
She leaned onto his chest and sobbed harder.
He ran his hand over her hair and kissed her forhead.
"No one is to betray me." he whispered.
Sakura looked up, terrified. Why was Syaoran acting so violent?
He gripped Sakura's wrist tighter. She winced.
"Tell me you will never betray me!"
"Yes!" She cried, "I will never, ever betray you!"
With that, he wrung her wrist as he pulled it down to her side, and dragged her out of the park and back home.

Touya decided that Syaoran couldn't have gotten far. He drove up the block slowly, looking for him. When he decided he wasn't outside, he parked the car and walked around.
Thats when he spotted Syaoran in the very cafe he was being taken to.
He burst inside and ran over to his table.
"Syaoran! Please!"
Syaoran didn't look up. "Go the hell away!"
"I'M SORRY!" Touya yelled.
The whole cafe hushed.
Syaoran looked up.
"You're..."
"I'm sorry!" he repeated, "I'm sorry for not being a better role model when you never really had one growing up. I 'm sorry that I don't show you the respect you deserve. I'm sorry that I've never thanked you for being the wonderful father and husband that you are. AND I'm sorry for hurting you today. This isn't what I dragged you to Kyoto for! "
"You....apologised?"
Touya was bright red. "Y...yes."
Syaoran smiled. And Syaoran began to laugh. In no time, he was laughing hysterically.
"WHAT. Is. So. Damned. Funny?!?"
Syaoran wiped a tear from he his eyes, trying to refrain from laughing farther.
"I...didn't think I'd ever hear the macho Touya apologise."
Touya sat down, gruffly.
"Well, I'm glad I put you in a better mood. " he said sarcastically.

Syaoran sighed. "So, Sakura sent you with me, so she can find out why I'm so mopey."
Touya was impressed. "How did you know?"
Syaoran crossed his arms and smirked. "I've been married to her for years. I think I know how she works for the most part."
Touya laughed. "Women."
They were silent for a moment.

"You had a father." said Syaoran, finally , "I didn't."
Touya nodded. "I can't argue with the facts."
"I....was taught to respect my elders. My mother, my older siblings, my teachers."
He paused again.
"I was FORCED to respect my father."
Touya looked surprised.
"What?"
"I hated that man." Syaoran continued. "He was goning to leave mother with five children. He said to me, 'What kind of man are you? This woman cannot give me a decent son! You will amount to nothing!' "
"Ouch...." Touya trailed.
"HE left me! He went off to marry again! He was gonna leave! ALL of us!" He began to shout, "He said I would not be able to handle the family magic!"
He looked around. Some people were staring.

Touya nodded twords the car. They both got up and left. They jumped in the car, and Touya noticed that Syaoran was crying.
"He had no confindence in me." He continued. "So I showed him that he was wrong. That I could handle the family magic. And thats how I killed him."
Touya nearly fell over.
"YOU KILLED YOUR FATHER!?"
Syaoran shook his head "I DIDN'T Know what I was doing! I thought life would be better without him! I was young, I was hurt! I didn't want him to hurt mamma more than he had to!"
He was sobbing so hard now that the words became unintelligable.
Touya put his hand on Syaoran's shoulder. He continued to sob, and leaned over to hug Touya. Tuya held him tight. "It's okay....."

Sakura stood up and gasped.
"Li-chan!"
Chibi-Li had tiny golden wings. He giggled, like everything was okay.
Sakura looked serious.
"I know!" She said. Yukito looked up at her.
"The sun, the wings, the earring!"
Yukito was confused.
"Chibi Li is...the reincarnation of Cerberus!"
Yukito raised an eyebrow, sitting down and examining Li's wings. "How do you figure?"
He was obviously not as frantic about this as Sakura was.
She pulled a small Zip-lock from her pocket and held it up for Yukito to see.
"Its...."
"Its Cerberus's earring! But its smashed!"
Yukito took the bag and examined the contents.
"When did you find this?"
"This morning!"
"Do you have any idea-"
"Yes! " Sakura wailed. "Kero told me to destroy anything he left behind so that his soul would be free. But I never even saw this!"
"I destroyed Yue's earring as soon as he had gone. If this was broken yesterday, then that means that neither of their souls were free until last night!"
"What about Yue?" asked Sakura. "Where has he gone?"
"Thats the thing..."Yue said, "He may be in a girl's body. But we know she had to be born to someone of Clow Read's lineage, or...or, under that supervision of someone like that."
Sakura gasped. "If Chibi-Li is in your house, then maybe it was because of father Kinomoto. He was half the reincarnation of Clow Read. So Touya is the next male in line."
"That would mean that...."
"Ihyou Hiiragizawa!"

Sakura stood up suddenly.
"WHEERE THE HELL IS NADESHIKOOOO!!????"

Next: Um, where exactly IS Nadeshiko? What will happen to Li and Ihyou? And what about Sakuri Fasu Hiiragizawa? Does the name she recieved really spell doom for her?
What exactly happened to Syaoran on the night Keroberos dissapeared? What will Touya do about Syaoran now, anyway!?
The answers to all the questions in the next chapter!
