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 Six: 'Yue, Come Out And Play' Cried The Sakura Cards.

. . . The door creaked ever wider to reveal the nervous eyes of his Imotou. Her emerald gaze peered at him.

He glanced about the room quickly once more to make sure everyone was sufficiently hidden. Everyone save for two pairs of ears and a pair of bright rose pink bunches that had grown out of his windowsill. //Maa naa,// He sighed inwardly, //Maybe Sakura-chan won't notice . . .//

"Ano . . .  'Niichan?" Sakura began quietly. She sounded scared.

He thought that maybe the noises emanating from his room had scared her. "Nan desu ka, Kaijuu?"

That set her at ease, she forgot all about the strange noises she'd heard, in the face of his insult, "I'm not a kaijuu!"

She stormed further into the room, slamming the door open. In her little rage, she didn't hear the soft 'Umpf!' followed by a slightly muffled 'Ouch!', she stood in the middle of the room. Her little fists ready to rain down punches, she noticed Touya was looking at her strangely.

Touya could smell rain. Or at least the smell of recent rain. And knew it was radiating from the girl that stood in his room. He rolled off the bed, not caring that by this action, allowed the blanket to fall off Yuki, revealing the presence of his best friend to the girl in his room.

  Her eyes darted from Touya to the slumbering form of Yukito and then back to Touya, who stood now in front of her.

"Is she, at least, still asleep?" He asked her.

The girl's eyes widened, she was shocked but –

"Ah-ah-ah—*CHOO*!!"

Two shadowy figures fell from the ceiling, Syaoran and Eriol lay, limbs tangled, completely dazed.

The 'Sakura' and Touya looked at the tangled mess of boys between them. She opened her mouth to say—

"I don't *have* any more sweets!" the pair of conspicuous gold ears twitched in exasperation.

"YesyoudoandIcansmell'emandyoujustdon'twanttosharewithme. . . YOU'RE SO MEAN TO ME!" sobbed the pair of midnight blue ears.

"Shut up about your stupid sweets. That baka kaijuu cut off my plait!" Hissed the bright rose pink bunches. 

The 'Sakura' tried to begin again but was interrupted by a muffled 'Thump'. This one Touya was surprised at… it continued: Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.

The 'Sakura' turned to investigate the strange sound. It was coming from behind the door. As she closed the door, she revealed a seriously infuriated Tomoyo, whacking her head against the wall.

"Hoe! Tomoyo-chan. Yamete! You're hurting yourself." The Sakura cried out and pulled Tomoyo away from the wall.

Turning, Tomoyo cried, "Oh Sakura-chan! I'm so—"

"That's not my sister."

Both the Sakura and Tomoyo spun to look at him.

"Demo. . .?"

The Sakura sighed. "Mou!"

A soft glow enveloped the 'Sakura'. As the glow dimmed there stood four magic forms of the Sakura cards. The Shadow card was slightly damp and stood there shivering, with a towel tightly wrapped around it's robe.

The Silent card straightened her nightcap and rubbed her eyes.

The Sleep card perched herself on the Silent card's shoulder, and yawned widely in her slightly over-sized red flannelled pyjamas.

And finally, the mastermind of the operation stood there in her rapidly tied dressing gown, her hair still set in rollers and her face pack still in place.

"We. . ." she gestured at the others ". . .  want in."

The others nodded their heads. . .  except for Shadow who nodded it's hood. . .  vigorously.

"We put the mistress into a deep, deep sleep and Silent put the room into a silence enclosure. . ."

The Silent waved her hand modestly, and the Sleep vanished.

Tap. Taptap.

The Sleep rapped the window. Shadow quickly opened the window to let the cold fairy in.

She glared at the Silent, who shrugged, and then continued. "And we came here as soon as we could!"

"As we can tell. . . just step out of the shower, Shadow?" Li teased

Shadow reached out quickly and snuck up behind the boy and tripped him up. 

"Whoa!" He cried

The Sleep card continued to babble, "All the other cards are asleep and we're the sneakiest and the quietest cards in the pack, and we really wanna help you. And Yue-sama!"

"Okay, okay," Tomoyo beckoned the tiny fairy to calm down. "You're in."

As Ruby, Suppi and Kero re-entered the room that they had been so violently thrown out of, and with the cards at their full size, the room became much more crowded.

"Ow! My foot!"

"Oh I'm soooo sorry! Gaki!"

"Excuse me but my plait! Someone do something about my plait!"

"Oh yes," came Kero's muffled yell from under Shadow's cloak, "Does anyone know how to do plait CPR?!"

"Kero-chan! You're not helping—"

Silent waved her hand and the noisy group found themselves upon the rooftop.

"Brrr! It's cold up here. Anyone got a Nikuman? I'm starving!"

"NOT NOW YUKI!!"

Using various methods of returning through the window . . .

"Keroberos, I'm going with you." Touya insisted.

"Demo, I'm already taking Yukito." The plush toy had returned to his full form.

"I don't care, budge up Yuki."

"Why? What's wrong To-ya?"

"Aw hell no, I'm not going to have you both crush my wings."

"Don't worry To-ya! I'll take you!!" Ruby squealed.

"That's what I was afraid of. . ." the poor man mumbled.

"Nani?"

"Okamai naku."

. . .  Once they were back in the relative warmth of Touya's room, To-ya stormed over to Silent.

"Never do that *ever* again!"

"Who me?" Asked Ruby.

"No. . .  well, yes you too, but mostly you!"

He pointed accusingly at Silent, who waved her hand in a gesture of apology.

 To-ya, of course, disappeared.

"Oi!" Touya called from outside.

"I'll go –hic- get him!" Cried Spinel Sun, and flew out the window before anyone could stop him,

Several curses and "Whoops! Where's –hic- the window?"-s Later, a dazed Touya was dragged through the window by the plush toy form of Spinel Sun.

"Daijobu desu ka?" Yuki rushed forward to help his damaged friend. Spinel, not content with simply pulling his load through the window, tried to drag To-ya over to the bed.

Despite his good intentions, Spinel miscalculated the exact distant and dropped To-ya just short of the soft mattress.

Even Shadow seemed to cringe with sympathy as To-ya's head made contact with the hard wood frame. . .

"Oh great . . . now what are we going to do? You killed him!"

He was being prodded with something warm and fuzzy. //It's a paw// his bruised mind registered.

"Let me through, I'll take care of him." Some creepy voice offered.

"No way," a calm, serene voice replied, "You and your guardians have caused enough trouble this evening.  Go sober him up and do something about her plait!"

"I'mb perfeckly schober. –hic- In fact . . .  I'mb ash schober ash the fudgement maker."

"Touya? Daijobu desu ka?" a softer voice murmured.

Touya opened his eyes to find himself lying with his head in Yuki's lap, and Yuki looking down at him with concern.

"Nani?" To-ya asked.

"Daijobu desu ka, To-ya-kun?" Yuki disappeared from his sight and was replaced by Ruby.

"Daijobu desu" he grumbled, and then got up. It all came swimming back.

The All Annoying One and her plait, the Creep and his drunken plush toy, that Gaki and his sword, his sister's stupid plush toy guardian, those demented Sakura cards and finally the very scary Tomoyo who had been determined to make Yue—

A movement out of the corner of his distracted him; he leapt to his feet and bounded over to the silent card. "I'll throw you out the window! See how you like it!"

Just as she was about to wave her hands again, To-ya grabbed them. "Yuki! Get something I can tie her up with!"

Yuki instantly moved over to To-ya's bedside drawers and pulled open the top one. He pulled from it a set of metal handcuffs. He promptly handcuffed the silent card's hands to Touya's wardrobe.

"There we go!" He exclaimed, and then turned to find everyone looking at him quizzically. "Nani?"

"How did you know where to find—chau-chan. I don't want to know." Kero turned away. As everyone settled back down to discuss their game plan, To-ya pulled Yuki aside.

"How did you know I had handcuffs?"

"Oh. . ." Yuki blush an adorable shade of pink, "No reason."

"Now. . ." Tomoyo pulled their attention back. "We know that Eriol's dampener spell is still working on Yue. . .  I mean he didn't realise you were waiting for him in the tree did he, Li?"

Li shook his head, "He didn't exactly act surprised but I could tell that he wasn't expecting me."

"I have a question." Eriol spoke, seated once more in his invisible floating chair. "How did he get rid of you, my cute little descendant? I mean, you're a stubborn little wolf . . ."

Li considered this and spouted some rapid fire Chinese. Eriol's eyes widened

"What makes you think I know?"

Li reddened and glared at him harder. He spouted a longer string of dialogue, just as quickly.

Eriol looked at him blankly for a few moments before something registered in his evil little mind.

"Oh. . ." He fought a wide grin from appearing ". . .  that. . ."

"Nani? Nani? Nani?" Ruby began to plead. "Tell me? Teeeeeellllll meeee!"

"Just. . .  something from. . . ha ha, Clow Reed's time. . ." Eriol could hardly maintain the straight look on his face, he turned to Li, "And your family still remember that. . ."

Li nodded.

"Even after all this time?! Bwha ha ha ha ha!"

Li nodded even more vigorously, turned a deeper shade of red, and glared death at the doubled-over reincarnation.

Something strange started to happen. //Not that the whole thing wasn't already strange// To-ya corrected, //just that something even *stranger* started to happen//

Eriol's voice acquired a deeper echo. The laughter of this echo was richer, the voice older.

"Keroberos, do you remember?" Eriol spoke, the echo lagging slightly. His eyes were gleaming with a mirth, a soul different form his own.

Kero jerked in mid levitation.

"MASTER. . ."
