Keroberos smiled at Yue and padded over, nuzzling his cheek against the creature's leg, purring as Yue scratched the cat's head lightly.
"It's been a while, hasn't it, Keroberos.."
"He has some magical powers, Yue.." Kero motioned to the young man standing behind him. "I think he may be--"
"Compared to Clow.. he won't be worthy.. but I will test him nonetheless." Yue said softly. Keroberos nodded and stepped back, sighing as Yue defeated the contender almost instantly, taking away the staff.
"Please.. one more chance.." The boy begged.
"There are no second chances." Yue murmured, his face emotionless. He erased the boy's memory and transported him home, sighing somewhat.
"You're too hard on them, Yue."
"It's not my fault all these amateurs find the book, Keroberos."
He sighed. "The next one may surprise you, you never know."
"There's no sign of Rubi or Spinel Sun yet, is there?"
"No. Not yet." He flopped onto the grass, a small book appearing in front of him and he sighed lazily. Yue nodded, running a slender finger over the sapphire earring on his left ear, a present from Clow Reed. "You miss him." It wasn't a question, because he already knew the answer.. it never changed. Yue nodded silently. "There was mention of him in a book I read in the library here."
"Really? Does.. does it say what happened?"
Keroberos shrugged. "He just disappeared."
The angel sighed and sat down next to Keroberos. "He'll be back some day.. I can still sense him nearby."
"So can I." Keroberos frowned. "I wonder why that is."
Neither creature knew that as they went back into the sealed magical prison, a baby was born across town.. this child's name was Kinomoto Fujitaka...and with this child, a new chapter would open.
