Ch 5: The Origin's of Yue
I closed my eyes as I crouched in the hallway. I knew deep down my master was hiding something from the aging inspector. 'What are you hiding Clow-sama. I know you never would have killed that boy. But it feels like you know what happened to him.'
Walking up the steps I let out a sigh and peaked in on Keroberus. He was curled up on the bed, his long tail swishing back and forth. "That inspector is scarring me Keroberus. Why would they come ask master Clow about a murder? He's never hurt a living creature."
Keroberus shook his head and looked up at me with a frown. "You do not know all of Master Clow's dark secrets. Take a seat brother… this may be hard for you to comprehend."
"Clow… Dark secrets…" I looked down at him sitting beside him on the bed.
"Clow has a dark past. About 14 years ago when I was just a young cub, Clow had befriended a young boy named Alexander. They had become good friends over a series of daily visits. They sat and talked about magic and rugby of all things. I know that Clow viewed him as a son, a son he always wished he had. One day, Clow was walking down the street he heard a large fight going on two ten year old boys were beating up Alexander. By the time he got there Alexander's skull had been completely busted and his platinum blonde hair was covered in blood."
"Alexander was the boy that Longtree was speaking of."
"Yes." Keroberus nodded his head and looked up at me with his dark brown eyes. "Now back to the story. Clow had run over to the young boy after he scarred the kids off and knelt besides him. He was so shaken up that he took off his cloak and wrapped the young boy up in it and carried him to the house after he had created a diversion. Melinda, his live-in mistress had just committed suicide after he had quite literally driven her insane, three weeks ago and this had been the final straw. Clow delved into dark magic. He had already planed on creating another Guardian, however he had planed to use a living vessel in which to divest his magic. Instead, using the dead body of Alexander as the human component, he lit the body on fire in the middle of a magic circle and decided to divest his magic into a new being."
Clow had walked into the room folding his hands over his broad chest as I looked up to him. "He was made into the most beautiful creature I could think of… an angel. I had given him the name of the celestial body he had been born under. I named him Yue."
I shook my head over and over. "I am a dead boy who you, who you brought back to life to serve you! I don't understand Clow-sama."
Clow knelt down beside me placing his hands on my knees. "I created you to serve a later purpose, not to serve me. Have I really treated you like a slave?"
I closed my eyes and shook my head over and over. "N-no."
"I had created you, because I felt so lost without Alexander coming over and telling me how his day went in school or listening to him ramble on about him wanting me to teach him magic. Parts of me wished that I taught him a little. Perhaps he would still be alive."
I closed my eyes and brushed my fingers against my master's cheek as he knelt there his head bent down slightly. "Why don't I remember any of this?"
"I erased your memory of the past. I did not want you to suffer."
"Thank you. Clow-sama… is that why you were so hesitant when I threw myself at you?"
Clow shook his head, his long black bangs falling into his face. "Now you understand. I had so much to hide."
I brushed my fingers threw his hair while Keroberus sat there starring
at
the two of us with a goofy grin on his muzzle. "Know this Clow-sama…
I am no longer Alexander. My memories and thoughts are all about you. How
much you have given me, how Keroberus used to play with my long silver
hair and how you used to hold me close and make everything better when
I had bad dreams." I closed my violet eyes and smiled slightly.
"Besides if Alexander was here, inside me, he wouldn't mind because like
Inspector Longtree said, he knew he was going to come back as an angel…
I doubt he knew he came back as your angel... Clow-sama."
