Well, hello! Welcome to my Little world of weirdness!
I state for the record that this is my first fanfic. . . for ccs, and that I don't own any of the characters that will grace this story! It's all CLAMP's, always have been, always will be!
I don't pretend to be capable of speaking Japanese or knowing where to put it.
"Speaking"
*Stress/emphasis*
//thinking//
And then Yue said, "Bring it on."
Part Four: Yue, Eriol and the Escape!
Yue surfed the slight breeze through the open window. He sat wearily upon the windowsill as he dispensed with his wings. He drew one long breath and let it out slowly, as he moved over towards the bed and sank down on to it.
With a sigh he thought, //safe at --//
"Only one word." A smooth voice commented from the shadows, "I'm impressed."
//yep. . . // yue continued his thought, //safe at last, when *safe* means doing the Irish jig on the cliff edge of the grand canyon--//
"so, Yue . . ." started eriol.
//. . .whilst *blindfolded!!*// finished yue, he spoke with his usual quite tone, "yes, hiirawagizawa-sensei?"
"Oh, so formal yue. Just call me . . . oh, I don't know . . ." eriol chuckled, "Clow-sama, master of all that is Humorous."
//Humorously evil!// yue closed his eyes, briefly, "you aren't my master, and you are only half of clow's reincarnation."
Eriol stepped out of the shadows.
"Yes . . . but you've got to admit that I am the fun half!"
He moved closer, and they exchanged a quick glare at each other, before eriol moved towards the window to close it. Yue noticed he was casting a spell on it while doing so. //cutting off my routes of escape.// he observed wirily.
"Speaking of fun," eriol's back was still to him, "what's this I hear about you refusing—"
"No!"
"I'm fairly sure, I gave you the same amount of humour as keroberos . . ."
"Yes . . . Master Clow did." Yue corrected him.
Eriol ignored him and started to pace the room thoughtfully,
"And I'm fairly sure you did at least once during my lifetime . . ."
"Maybe . . ." yue trailed the young reincarnation's movements warily, "during Clow's lifetime."
Whether eriol caught the bitterness that tinged this last statement or not, he certainly didn't show any reaction, other than his pacing. Then he stopped and faced yue.
"So? What's the problem?"
The moon guardian considered this. He scrutinized the reincarnation's appearance, eriol had been very careful to look as innocent and non-threatening as possible. His wide lavender-grey eyes peered back at him through simple round glasses under a well-kept mop of shiny dark blue hair. Forgoing his usual robes, he was in his school fuku, and had even, *conveniently*, forgotten to take off his hat giving him the image of the perfect, innocent schoolboy. But this illusion didn't fool yue the judgement maker. Then a thought occurred to him.
"Why are you doing this?" Yue inquired.
The look of shocked embarrassment flittered over his face for all of a nano-second, but yue caught it. //ah, I've hit a nerve!//
"Well?" He prodded.
The self-assured re-embodiment of his former master rolled off a perfect story, "well, since my cute little descendant evidently failed to convince you, I will just have to succeed where he obviously didn't!"
Yue glared at him sceptically. He wasn't buying it.
"And of course, it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that sakura's best friend is a certain tomoyo, would it?"
"Well. . ." eriol was speechless, //I'm defiantly getting closer!// yue thought.
"And a certain tomoyo could make life very, very, very, *very* unfunny for a certain English half-reincarnation . . . maybe going to the extremes of preventing him from playing pranks on a certain Chinese Xiao Lang. . ."
A little of the previous confidence returned to eriol's face, //hmm. . . close but not that, then it must be--//
". . . or even cancelling a certain promised date with said certain tomoyo?"
That was it. Eriol's face faltered and betrayed him by blushing slightly.
Yue merely raised a silvery eyebrow at him in his typical 'I-know-all' manner, so that eriol didn't realise he'd just guessed.
Eriol refocused on the task he was set quickly, losing his date with tomoyo was *not* a welcome consequence.
"That's not the point!" he exclaimed, "The point is you are capable of it . . ."
"Hai." yue agreed dispassionately, he'd gotten an idea but wasn't going to let eriol in on it just yet.
"And I've seen you do it a thousand times in clow's lifetime!"
"Hai." Yue struggled internally to keep a straight face, the boy was just handing him even better excuses.
"So I want you to do it!" The boy stilled, and stared at him expectantly.
Yue rose to his feet, his long hair falling softly onto the ground.
"Very well," he stated, "I'll do it."
Eriol squinted at the moon angel, he knew he was being had but couldn't quite figure out exactly how. It clicked when a very familiar magic circle appeared at yue's feet. Somewhere at the back of his mind, he heard Clow mutter gleefully // I knew my moon angel was going to do that! Atta boy!//.
eriol just thought back darkly // then why didn't you tell me?//.
"Chyotto matte! That's not what I meant!" He called out as a blue glow spilled into the room.
"Maa,maa! You really should try to be more specific!" Yue raised a smug eyebrow as he transformed away.
"kisama!!"
"I can't help it you're going to be so very indirect!" Yue's voice took on a disembodied tone and with that, he was gone!
//well, he *is* right, you know// clow began.
//urusei!// eriol thought back.
Before him stood a very dazed looking Yukito.
As Yukito gathered his bearings, he noticed a very scary phenomenon: a not serene eriol.
"Douka shita no?" he would have said but went crashing out of awareness.
Eriol merely raised an unimpressed eyebrow at the slumped body of Yukito, and raised the bright pink phone.
Mentally calling his former life's creation every name under the sun for costing him the date of a lifetime, //it's only one lifetime; there'll be others// murmured Clow again.
// didn't I say *urusei* loud enough?!// he shot back as he dialled a phone number.
Placing the phone against his ear, he heard the phone's counterpart ring away until:
"Mushi, mushi, kinomoto residence?" touya answered.
"He went into hiding," eriol settle on going straight into it, "the snow bunny. . ." he glared at the dozing Yukito at his feet, ". . .sleeps deeply."
There was a short pause as touya relayed the information to the mastermind of their operation.
Eriol strained to hear her response; he didn't have to as she practically yelled it.
"*damn it!*"
eriol raised his eyebrows in shock. It took something really dire to make the ever calm and genki tomoyo swear.
In a quieter voice, she told touya some more instructions, which he sourly relayed on to eriol. "bring the snow bunny back to base"
"Fine."
With his confirmation the phone went dead, touya had hung up.
Eriol stepped over the sleeping Tsukishiro Yukito, and walked over to the window.
He released the lock from his spell, leaned out and whistled loudly into the night sky.
As advancing figures of his own guardians drew closer, he could hear they were still yelling at each other and he could only guess at which sugar loaded substance Ruby had force fed Suppi to get him hic-cupping so loudly, hiirawagizawa eriol pondered deeply if he could still go on that date…
