It was still raining out for some strange reason and the guardian beasts were starting to get cabin fever. Yue was standing in the library, looking for a book that would contain a certain spell that would help his situation when suddenly he was lying face-first on the carpet, a heavy purring weight on his back.
"Got you!" Keroberos yelled happily.
"Get..off..me." He grumbled, spitting out bits of carpet.
"And you said you were so quick." He grinned and sat down, smoothing his fur.
"I am quick."
"Then how was I able to tackle you so easily?"
"I was just... preoccupied."
"With what?" Kero asked. Yue didn't answer for a while, and finally muttered.
"I'll tell you later. Get off me."
"Well, look at this! The two housepets romping in the library." Rubi's giggling voice made them both groan. "How cute.. but Kero, you should be careful. Clow-sama will get jealous if he sees you on top of Yue instead of him."
Both of them growled, although Kero's growl was more in protection of his master, while Yue's was in protection of his lover. "Rubi.. "
"Oh, come off it, angel boy." She smirked and walked to the library wall where the book Yue had been holding was on the ground. She picked it up by the spine and read where Yue had left off. "Oh, isn't this precious!" She giggled and started laughing so hard she nearly fell over. Tears were in her eyes by the time she finally finished. "Yue, Yue, Yue...How utterly precious."
"What are you talking about, Rubi.." Kero watched her suspiciously and climbed off Yue's back, who got up gratefully and stretched, having probably broken a wing under Kero's weight.
"The spell that angel boy was looking at.."
"Don't call me angel boy."
"It's to turn himself human." She laughed. "Perhaps so he could be with Clow. But I have news for you, Angel Boy."
"Don't call me--"
"Clow doesn't love you."
Yue rolled his eyes. Rubi was known for her exaggerating, but this was ridiculous. "Sure, Rubi." He plucked the book from her hands and set it back on the shelf, noting the placing of it. He would be back later to read it when Rubi had maybe gone to torture someone else.
"Then why did he kiss me?"
He stopped in mid-step. "Wh..what?" He was suddenly treated to Rubi and Clow locked in an embrace, and a shudder ran through his body. "N..no.. it.. it's not.."
"Oh, Yue, I'm sorry.. I thought you knew..."
He choked on his tears and shook his head. The vision was too ..wrong. He quickly stepped out the window and reappeared on the roof, his white wings wrapped tightly around his slender body. Kero growled somewhat.
"Rubi.."
"You know, I always thought Yue would be less gullible." With a giggle, she left the room. Kero sighed and went up onto the roof, nudging the white feathered figure with his paw.
"Yue, she was lying to you."
There was no answered but choked sobs and finally, Keroberos gave up and left the angel-like creature where he was.
