Yue flew in through his window. He had developed a habit of leaving it
open. It was the best access to his
alter-ego's house. Since the window was
easily taller and wider than he, it was more convenient.
As flew into his or rather Julian's room,
he thought of how much his Mistress had grew from a bratty 4th
grader into a mature young lady. Well,
most of the time. He often wondered
about if she happy as the Card Mistress or if she just wanted to be a normal
kid.
He walked over to his bed and lay her on
it. He yawned and returned into his
alter-ego's form. In the very spot and
position were Yue was, stood Julian Star. Julian blinked and looked around his room. He saw Sakura laying on the bed. He remembered what had happened.
"Yue
must have paid a visit." He said
smiling to himself.
It was around a week before that day that
both himself and Yue had become so weak that they both came very close to
dying. That was when Sakura's brother
Tori who happened to be his best friend, revealed his power of seeing ghosts. He gave that energy and magic to Yue and
himself. That was when he found out
about Yue. So every time that he
changed into Yue, he would know what he was doing while he was Yue, and before
he changed into Yue. That was very
helpful. In a split second, he
transformed back into Yue.
Eli
watched as the little group consisting of Keroberous, Yue, Li and Sakura split
up.
He
didn't like deceiving Sakura like this, but he had no choice. And besides, he reminded himself, it was for
her own good. He had to do something so
she would change the Clow Cards into Star Cards. That's why he enchanted ordinary items and set them on
Sakura. So she would have a reason to
change the cards. But he seriously
pushed his luck unleashing two of the Element Cards.
Windy, Watery, Fiery, and Earthy. The four elements. The four most
destructive cards. Even though he
wouldn't tell Ruby and Spinner, he was very glad that Sakura had overcome every
obstacle he laid out for her. And by
posing as an exchange student, it made his job easier.
She needed
to learn to use and control her magic so she would be able to control what she
would inherit what Clow Reed intended for her to have. She would receive that when she turned
eighteen. She still had a lot to
learn. He would know- he was half the
reincarnation of Clow Reed himself. He
had no clue who was the other half. But only time would tell for sure what
would happen.
However, it was time for a bit more magic…
"I call upon the powers of the day and the
night. Sun and Darkness unleash your
might. Release!"
Instantly, the charm on his ancient necklace, worn by Clow Reed himself,
turned from a charm, into a long, thin, smooth staff, charm at the top of the
staff, making the chain disappear…
At Yue/Julian's House…
Sakura's head was drowned in
thoughts.
"I'm so tired. Is Yue alright? What
about Keroberous? What other funky
outfit is Madison making for me now?"
Suddenly, all those thoughts ceased. She
was walking through the forest by the park. She came to a crossroads. On one
path, there were rocks and everything looked dead or dying. On the other path,
everything was prosperous. Clow Reed
was at the end of the second path as well as Madison, Li, Keroberous, Ms.
McKenzie, and for and unknown reason, Eli.
She started towards the rich, lush green
grass on the second path. But then she
saw Yue at the end of the rocky path…
"Mistress,"
Yue shook her a bit.
No
answer.
"Mistress,"
Still
no answer.
"MISTRESS!"
"WHAT?"
"Okay
now you are awake."
"Yes
I am." Sakura said with the tiniest hint of annoyance.
"Are
you all right?"
"Well,
I was peacefully sleeping until a certain guardian who shall
remain nameless, YUE!!!! Woke me up."
"Sorry
Mistress."
"Urgh,
don't call me Mistress," she said shuddering at the word 'Mistress',
"
Please call me Sakura."
"As
you wish Mistress Sakura."
Sakura
sweat dropped.
Yue
smirked.
"Yue,
did you just smile?" asked Sakura grinning. Yue was almost well, emotionless. Sakura didn't think anyone had
ever seen him smile.
"No,
of course not."
"Yes
you did. I saw you."
"No,
I didn't."
"Okay
I'll prove that you did." She pulled
out the Libra. "Okay, now we'll see if
you smiled or not."
Yue
sighed.
"I
call upon the power of my star. From
forces near and far, Libra Card, transform all your might, and draw your power
from my light! STAR CARD!!!," she paused, "Libra Card, tell me if Yue smiled.
Libra Card, Release and Dispell!!!"
The Libra came from the card and begun to
swing in front of Yue. What Sakura
didn't know was that the Libra was one of the cards ruled by the moon. Yue mentally commanded the card to lie. It did.
"Oh
well, one of these days, I'll catch you."
"Hmm."
"You
are SO sensitive."
"Do
they teach sarcasm at school now?"
"Favorite
class."
Yue
sighed.
"I
had better be going."
"Your
father thinks you are at Madison's house."
"Why
would he think that?"
"The
'Kid' told him."
"Oh,
okay. Li has always been good at
lying." She remembered when they had
been at school and Li didn't get a huge report done, and he came up with a
perfect lie. The teacher bought it.
"So,
would you like anything?"
"Yes,
could you help me with something?"
"What
is it?"
"Well,
I had this strange dream before you woke me up."
"Do
tell."
"Well,
I'm running through the park, and I come to a crossroads. On side is all rocky and dead. On the other side, everything is so pretty
and alive. On that side, Clow Reed, Li,
Mei Lin, Madison, Kero, Ms. McKenzie, and for some strange reason Eli. But…"
"But
what?"
"You
are on the other side."
"Hmm."
"What
do you think?"
"As
Kero said, you are very close with the spirit world. Pay close attention to your dreams. Try to write them down. They are trying to tell you something."
"Okay."
"Would
you like a drink?"
"No,
I want to go back to sleep."
"Oh
fine." But Sakura didn't hear him. She
had already fallen asleep.

And so ends Chapter 2. I also want at least 10 *P*O*S*I*T*I*V*E* reviews or I just won't
finish. I still love Yue. I just love how he is so mysterious.
