Chapter Six: Calm Before the Storm

                It's been a week. An entire week, and it's driving me crazy. Kinomoto Touya ran his long fingers through his hair raven colored hair before letting out a troubled sigh. Looking to the empty seat beside him he frowned slightly. Where are you Yuki?

                Beside him, Yuzuriha shook her head sadly and looked at the same empty seat. Slowly her eyes traveled over to the empty seat beside that one and blinked. How odd that both Tsukishiro-san and Lis-chan have been absent all week… A small grin swept over her face as she thought about the slender brunette and the solemn Sumeragi having an in-depth argument.

*              A calm voice interrupted the uncomfortable silence and Subaru and Yuzuriha stood stone still in the doorway leading to Solis' room. "WHAT is HE doing in your room Solis?" The Sumeragi's solitaire green eye gleamed angrily at the sleeping white haired being on her bed with absolute contempt.

                Solis moved uncomfortably as she tried her best to keep her emotions in check. "He… he was hurt… so I wanted to take care of him… It's sort of my responsibility." Biting her lower lip, she saw the laughter dancing in Yuzuriha's eyes just behind the upset onmyouji.

                "Whatever… You are NOT going to sleep in the same room as him…" The penetrating glare nearly caused Solis to fall over right then as she nodded in consent. After all, it was his home and not really hers.

                "Arigauto Subaru-kun…"

                Smugly Subaru chose to ignore her appreciative words as he pointed for her to leave the room. "If he even touches you I swear he'll be sorry." Frowning he walked away and headed out the front door.

                "Demo! Subaru-kun! Where are you going?" There was a resounding thud as the man threw the door open and yelled with eerie calm. 'Out.' The two girls smiled slightly as they laughed nervously. "Eh heh… It seems he's not happy."

                "Great assumption Sherlock. Doushite mo… He's hot!" Yuzuriha pointed at the sleeping Yue and grinned brightly.                                 *

                Yuzuriha grinned a bit more before reaching over and stroking Inuki's head gently so no one would see her doing so. Except, Touya turned to look at her and blushed softly as he shoved a piece of paper in her direction after he was sure she was done petting her dog spirit. Stifling a giggle, she accepted the note from the blushing boy and unfolded it on her desk while trying to hear the teacher still lecturing on monotonously.

                ~Yuzu-chan, do you know why Solis-san is absent? Sakura-chan has been asking about her and I don't know what to tell her… I'd ask Naisumi-san, demo Sadira-san is always around her and she's just plain scary.

                Yuzuriha covered her mouth as the urge to giggle grew slightly in her chest. Writing back she couldn't help but smile. ~To-ya, Lis-chan has just been sort of sick and wanted to spend time with Sumeragi-san. She's fine. How is your imouto? She's so cute! Can we take her and her friend to get some ice cream after school?

                Slipping the note back to him, she watched him intently as he slowly turned red. Looking back up at her he merely nodded. Winking at him, she once more had to cover her mouth to keep from giggling as he turned an even darker shade of red.

                Sadira pushed her blonde hair behind her ears as she strained to understand the teacher's words. Refusing the urge to ask the lady to speak slower, due to the slow translation process in her head, she merely gave up and relied on Naisumi to help her out later. Sighing, she looked at her Chinese friend as she worked on quietly in front of her. It's not fair! She's so much smarter than I am… So is Solis… eh… where IS Solis?

                Gazing for a moment at the empty chair she finally gave a shrug. Perhaps, Solis wanted to spend some time with her Subaru-kun, but then again, it wasn't likely. Blinking she once more looked at Naisumi and thought to her self. Nai-chan sure has been happy lately, I wonder why…

                Feeling the eyes on her back, Naisumi looked back a moment to give her a questioning look. At the shake of the blonde's head, she finally turned around again. With a small dreamy smile, she returned to her note taking. Suddenly a voice spoke up and took the teacher off topic.

                Smiling even more brightly she welcomed the chance to wander off topic as well. It had been excruciating to take notes when her mind kept wandering. Allowing her eyes to trail up to the board, she seemed to stare through it deep in thought. Subaru-san… Blinking she shook her head in amazement. Where did that come from?

                Clenching her pen tightly, she looked down at her paper. She'd been going out of her way for some reason trying her best to get the Sumeragi's attention much to the dismay of her brown haired friend with startlingly dark green eyes. The worst part was that she'd succeeded in two semi-date-like experiences as they'd gone to dinner or for a walk where they had just talked. Actually, she talked and he listened silently with that stoic look on his face.

                Visions of the man with distinctly mismatched eyes swam through her thoughts. She knew exactly what Solis saw in the man. He was so calm, elegant, gentle, and handsome to say the least. I wonder why he's so sad all the time… Shrugging it off, she looked up to see that class was being dismissed.

~*~

                Sakura sat silently beneath a solitaire cherry tree with her lunch sitting on the ground in front of her seemingly untouched. Sighing softly, eyes of sparkling emerald looked up at the pale sapphire sky sadly. "Yue-san… Syaoran-kun…" Tears began to prick at the corners of her eyes as she closed them.

                Why did both of you have to leave me? First the one I loved with all my heart, then my close friend and guardian… Eriol-kun will be so upset to hear that I lost Yue-san… Then to make things worse… he'll think I hurt his descendant as well… Frowning sadly she dropped back against the trunk of the tree with a soft thud. The thought of angering or even upsetting the reincarnation of Clow Reed was NOT appealing to the small preteen.

                "Hito no kokoro wa kawareru mono… Sou shinjitemitai ashita wo ikuru no tame…" Clenching her fists she looked at her friends happily eating their lunches oblivious to her pain. It was better that way. She didn't want them to be upset because of her. "Solis-san! I want to believe it! Demo… it's… so hard…"

                Snapping to attention, she caught sight of Tomoyo as she ran over to Sakura with worry noticeably written in her countenance. Instantly Sakura plastered a gentle smile on her face and waved at Tomoyo with forced enthusiasm. "Konnichiwa Tomoyo-chan!"

                Giving her best friend a look that spoke of disbelief, the dark haired girl sat in front of Sakura while eyeing her lunch. "You haven't touched your lunch Sakura-chan! Why haven't you been eating this week? I'm your best friend… please tell me…"

                Looking away, she knew she couldn't keep hiding things from Tomoyo like this. "Gomen ne Tomoyo-chan… I didn't want to tell you…."

                "Just tell me Sakura-chan! I want to help." Tomoyo jumped when she saw the crystalline tears streak aimlessly down her cheeks in response. "Ano! Sakura-chan! Doushitano?"

                Without another thought, Sakura lurched forward and hugged her friend no longer caring about looking strong. "Tomoyo-chan! I've lost them both!"

                Tomoyo hugged her tightly and gently rubbed her back as she whispered lightly into Sakura's ear. "Who? Who did you lose Sakura-chan?"

                Between sobs Sakura choked out the long story about how Syaoran had left her, and the latest threat. And above all, the missing moon guardian. Tomoyo was in slight shock as she only hugged her trembling best friend more tightly. "Daijoubu Sakura-chan… It will turn out ok… promise… Yue-san will come back… and… Solis-san was right."

                Pulling away slowly, Sakura only gave a weak nod to her friend. "I have to believe that… ne?" Rubbing the tears away she allowed a small smile to touch her lips. "Please don't tell Eriol-kun about this…"

                The other girl laughed as her violet eyes danced. "Mochiron! I won't tell him… Ano… I do miss him." Sakura smiled as Tomoyo drifted into a momentary dreamy state as she thought of the young teen with deep sapphire eyes that reminded one of the deepest oceans in the far pacific. Snapping out of it she merely smiled sweetly and ruffled Sakura's hair. "You need to cheer up! Lets do something after school, ok? Maybe we can get your brother to join us, I mean he's probably upset too."

                "Hai… He misses Yukito-kun too… But, he seems extremely confident that he will be back soon."

                "Good! You should feel the same! You know that be it Yukito-san or Yue-san, they would fight to return to the two most important people in their lives." Tomoyo nodded to make her point then nudged the untouched lunch. "Now… EAT!"

                Giggling, Sakura nodded to her friend and pulled it toward her self. "Hai hai… If you say so Daidouji-san!"

~*~

                Kamui looked at the gates to the high school silently wondering why Sadira was late in meeting him today. For once he actually missed the punctual blonde as she would ungracefully latch onto him and whisper the same question to him almost everyday. Pretend to be my escort? Smiling at the thought he looked up in time to see the routine swarm of guys and girls huddled around the slender blonde whom seemed far too quiet for his liking.

                Frowning, his blue-violet eyes sparked ominously as he walked with sure steps toward her easily parting the crowd of Seijou students in order to stop before her. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath before reopening them and offering her a hand almost gracefully.

                Wide eyes of pale turquoise glistened at the gesture as she slowly took his hand and allowed him to pull her away from the noisy crowd begging for her to notice them. As they walked away from the disappointed group he looked down at her and arched a brow. "Doushitano?"

                Looking up at his gentle question, she felt the warmth race into her cheeks. Shaking her head she merely looked at the ground. It didn't feel right to him, seeing the normally vibrant girl so sad and almost depressed looking. Stopping he whirled about to halt her as well. Pale slender hands gently cradled her face and lifted her eyes to his. A few questions flickered in his deep blue eyes as he searched for his answers.

                Sadira blinked a few times in surprise almost forgetting the sudden rush of adrenaline she felt at his hands on her cheeks. Finally after catching her breath she merely smiled up at him placidly. "Arigauto Kamui-kun… I'm fine really. I'm just worried about Lissy… It's not like her to disappear for nearly an entire week."

                "I understand…" After a moment, he finally released her and closed his eyes. "She's fine. Sumeragi-san has pretty much raised her all of her life. Don't worry…" Turning about, Sadira couldn't help feeling the loss of warmth as he started to walk on. "Iku Dira-chan…"

                Forcing a small smile she followed after him and unceremoniously latched onto his right arm. Looking at him to see his reaction, she was surprised to see a small smile etching it's way across his normally emotionless face.

~*~

                "Ne, Nai-chan! Do you mind if I call Arashi-san and ask her to take you home? I could even call Sora-kun or Subaru-san if you like…" Yuzuriha watched the small Chinese girl intently waiting for some reaction out of her calm appearance. When the flush of red color entered her cheeks upon the Sumeragi's name, Yuzuriha had found her ride. "That's what I'll do! I'll call Sumeragi-san! Just a sec Nai-chan!"

                Naisumi turned extremely red as the other dark haired girl picked up a payphone and started to dial a number. Touya laughed softly and rested a hand kindly on her shoulder. "It would seem you have a thing for the one eyed guy."

                Instantly she looked up at Touya with wide eyes. "You shouldn't call him that! He's really a great guy!" This only made the taller boy laugh more.

                "See, I told you! But, thanks… for letting Yuzu-chan come with me to pick up imoutochan…" Naisumi blinked and nodded her head to the boy before looking down at her feet.

                "I hope your best friend returns soon. I can tell you miss him. Tsukishiro-san is a really nice guy." Touya smiled lightly and looked up at the sky not noticing Yuzuriha's return. I hope so too… Please hurry back Yuki…

                "All right! Subaru-san is on his way! Want me to wait with you or will you be ok by your self Nai-chan? At least I got you away from the crowd, ne?" The bubbly Japanese girl seemed to over flow with energy as she grinned at Naisumi.

                The blush seemed to stretch to her ears as she continued to stare at the ground. "I'll be fine. Subaru-san will be here soon. He's a very prompt person." Yuzuriha bobbed her head in agreement before grabbing onto Touya's arm gently.

                Now it was Touya's turn to blush brightly as he looked down at Yuzuriha silently. "All right! I'll see you tonight! I'll come pick you up around 8 or so tonight then?" Naisumi nodded again as Yuzuriha started to tug Touya in the direction of Sakura's school. "Ok! Ja ne!" With that, the two were well on their way to the junior high school.

                "Thanks for coming up with this idea Yuzu-chan. Imoutochan really needs it." Touya spoke softly bringing her deep milk chocolate eyes up to meet his. A bright smile washed over her smooth features as she leaned against him lightly.

                "No problem! I really like Sakura-chan. She's absolutely adorable. Inuki likes her too! It's too bad she can't see him…" Sadness crept into her eyes making Touya feel it rising up in his own heart as well.

                "Who knows, maybe she will some day!" Touya smiled at her warmly and felt relieved when she smiled back. Looking up he hadn't realized that they'd already reached the gates that led into Sakura's school. Standing to one side, he saw Sakura leaning against the wall, eyes focused on the concrete under feet even though Tomoyo worked hard on getting her attention. Sighing in dismay, Daidouji Tomoyo looked up at Touya and waved happily.

                "Kinomoto-san! Nekoi-san! Konnichiwa! I'm glad you are here!" The girl with long dark hair smiled brightly causing her violet eyes to sparkle.

                "Konnichiwa Tomoyo-san! Call me Yuzu-chan! Onegai?" The older girl with short black hair beamed and then looked at the girl with shoulder length honey brown hair. "Nani desu ka, Sakura-chan?"

                Sakura looked up for the first time and smiled at Yuzuriha. "Nani mo! It's good to see you Yuzu-chan! Oi oi! You're with oniichan! Kawaii-o!"

                Touya blushed even further as he glared at his imouto. "Urusei kaijuu!" Before Sakura could erupt into her normal fuming, she was amazed to see Yuzuriha punching him in the shoulder and giving him a disapproving look.

                "Be nice To-ya!" Tomoyo giggled while Touya turned three different shades of red.

                Mixed feeling arose within her heart as she looked between Yuzuriha and her brother before she finally stopped her eyes on Touya. "Oniichan… You like her don't you?"

                This time, Yuzuriha turned bright red but continued to smile as she looked up at the older Kinomoto. "Doushite mo… I really like your oniichan Sakura-chan. Is that ok?" Looking back at Sakura, the older girl with short black hair smiled happily.

                "Hai! I would love to have you for an older sister Yuzu-chan!" At these words, Touya hit the point of no return and merely stood there unable to do anything but blush.

                "Sugoi! Arigauto Sakura-chan! Oh! We wanted to ask you lovely ladies out for ice cream. Would you care to join two crazy high school kids?" Yuzuriha grinned and winked at Tomoyo and Sakura as they nodded emphatically. "Kakkoii! Iku! I'm hungry!"

                Looping her arm into Touya's, Yuzuriha led the way with Sakura smiling happily at her side. She really did like Yuzuriha, even though she felt a gentle warm energy ebbing from her every movement. But this energy wasn't like Solis. Hers was warm and welcoming where Solis' energy felt cold and unsure of itself. Looking up at the sky she let out a long sigh not feeling the three sets of eyes that fell onto her at the same time.

                Yuzuriha sigh then looked at Touya sadly. "To-ya… Why is she so sad? I don't understand."

                Touya shook his head and looked down while whispering. "She lost her boyfriend and one of her close friends all in one night. It's been really hard on her. That gaki has been with her for two years then out of nowhere tells her he can't be with her anymore."

                "Sou da na… how sad. Poor Sakura-chan." Sighing softly she didn't realize she'd rested her head on Touya's shoulder.

                Smiling down at her, Touya carefully slipped his arms around her shoulders and remained silent for the remainder of the walk. What's this feeling? Yuzu-chan makes me feel so happy… It's almost like my heart is hanging on her every motion. The strangest thing is… I really like it… Could I possibly love her?

~*~

                The next day, Sakura felt a bit lighter as she sat in her chair toward the back of the room. Dazzling eyes of emerald green seemed to sparkle brightly as the sunlight filtered through the window into their endless depths. Tomoyo sighed and shook her head. She could see the lift in Sakura's mood, but she could still see that she was still full of worry.

                No one could blame her really for that pain. She her self felt extreme amounts of worry over the missing moon guardian. What puzzled her even more were the actions on Li's parts. She'd received a letter from Meiling stating that her adorable cousin wasn't quite him self and she wanted to know if anything had happened to upset him.

                Upset him? Nan de mo… Tomoyo scowled at the thought and looked up at the board. I wish Eriol-kun were here… He'd know what to do… Biting her lower lip she shook her head in silent answer to her self. She hated that the one she loved so dearly lived so far away. Now she knew how Sakura felt, but at least Eriol hadn't cut off the relationship merely because of distance.

                As the teacher walked in, she rose from her seat with the rest of the class smiling serenely even through her irritable mood. Returning to their seats, Tomoyo lifted her pen and stared at the paper on her desk. She had wanted so desperately to write Eriol and tell him what was happening. If I did that Sakura-chan would never forgive me…

                "Attention class, I have an announcement to make. Tomorrow we'll be taking a class trip to Ueno Park in Tokyo." The female teacher smiled happily at her students and clapped her hands together. "This will be so exciting! Be sure and pay attention all you see there, cause I'll want a short essay on your day!"

                "Hai!" Tomoyo smiled and looked at Sakura. This would be good for her even if she didn't want to admit it. Sakura turned and smiled at her warmly before looking at her book blankly as the lecture began. Poor Sakura-chan… I'll make sure you enjoy tomorrow!

~*~

                Touya and Yuzuriha stood next to her desk smiling and talking about various things as someone walked into the room slowly. Touya turned to see who it was and blinked in surprise. "Welcome back Solis-san…" Yuzuriha looked up as well in time to see the darkened eyes of green that seemed a little dazed. Something was missing, but she couldn't quite figure out what it was.

                Solis smiled lightly at Yuzuriha then nodded curtly to Touya before collapsing into her seat. Folding her light blue blazer she sat it on her desk and buried her head in it silently. Touya blinked then poked Yuzuriha in the side softly. "She's not wearing the hat, gloves or even slacks for that matter. Is she ok?"

                Blinking in realization she finally noticed that she was wearing the black skirt instead of her trademark boy's uniform. "Doushitano Solis-chan?"

                Raising her head slowly, she rested her chin on her folded arms. "I'm fine really… I just woke up to something rather disturbing, but Subaru-kun made me come to school even though I didn't want to…" Grimacing in slight anger, she finally just sighed and let it go.

                The girl with short black hair sighed and shook her head. "Gomen ne, would you like to join To-ya and I for lunch then? Nai-chan wasn't feeling well and stayed home for the day."

                The brunette nodded slowly, graciously accepting the invitation while closing her eyes to the sudden outburst behind her. "LISSY!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I was worried sick! AH! Where is you hat? Why are you wearing a skirt! Oh God! You must be sick! GO HOME THIS INSTANT!!!"

                Cringing slightly, the brunette finally raised her head and simply smiled at Sadira as she raved at the sight before her. "Arigauto Dira-chan… for your concern. Demo, I'm fine… there is no need to worry."

                At those words, the blonde's jaw nearly dropped. Wide eyes of pale blue gawked at her dear friend and important group member as she searched for words. "Oh man… Lis-chan… You're really worrying me now!" Running to her, she pressed the back of her hand to Solis' forehead. "No fever… there MUST be SOMETHING wrong! Otherwise you wouldn't be so nice to me!!!"

                Solis merely smiled then blinked as another classmate walked in. Heavy green eyes followed the lithe form that entered the room trailing them from his silver hair to his hazelnut eyes, stopping when the paleness of his features finally struck her. Standing instantly she smiled at Yukito and allowed a hint of worry to touch her words. "Ohayo Yukito-kun. Daijoubu? You look rather pale…"

                Yukito smiled a sunny smile in an attempt to hide the agony in his eyes from the pain of forcing his frail body to move. "Daijoubu Solis-kun… Arigauto." To Solis' shock, he merely continued to smile into her eyes unmoving as she felt her own eyes unable to leave his. "You look very lovely today."

                Blushing, Solis collapsed into her seat flushed in embarrassment. It had been an extremely long time since anyone had said something like that to her other than a few of her Seal friends and her back up singers. "Domo arigauto…"

                Sadira looked at Yukito then at Solis before grinning broadly. "How cute! Tsukishiro-san is the only person I know that can get Solis to act like this!"

                Yuzuriha smiled slightly to her self while leaning against Touya lightly. She knew Yukito wasn't the only one, but she also knew that the Sumeragi was losing his touch where the small brunette was concerned. It seemed the boy with silvery white hair as well as this lithe teen with silver hair had somehow found a way to influence the cool demeanor of the executioner, whether that was good or bad she didn't know.

                Touya looked up at Yukito and arched a dark slender brow at his friend. "Welcome back Yuki… How are you feeling?"

                Yukito finally looked away from Solis and smiled knowingly at his best friend. "I'm fine To-ya. Nothing to worry about. I was well taken care of."

                "I see… You could have at least called… Kaijuu was worried sick…" Touya glared at his friend as he leaned against Yuzuriha for some kind of support. He hurt so deeply from just realizing that Yukito had been fine all along, but hadn't even made an attempt to call and ease their worries.

                "Gomen ne To-ya… I'll apologize to her formally right after school…" A flash of silver-blue entered his eyes, as Touya understood what he meant. Yukito meant that Yue wanted to apologize more than he did. Looking back at Solis, he walked over to her and knelt by her desk with almost an apologetic look. "Ano, may I sit by you Solis-san?"

                Solis stared deep into his eyes and noticed an almost distinct wave of cool energy serenely washing over her. Nodding slowly she couldn't help but smile at the boy. "I'd be honored Yukito-kun."

~*~

                At lunchtime, Yuzuriha had drug the small group of five onto the roof in order to eat. Sighing softly, Solis walked over to the edge of the building and leaned on the low railing. It really wasn't safe, but she liked the free feeling it gave to her. The wind ripped through her hair and slid over her face almost as smoothly as running water in a stream. Looking over her shoulder she smiled at Yuzuriha shared her lunch with Touya who seemed to be making a habit out of blushing. It seems I've been gone far too long. I don't even know what's going on with those two…

                Slowly her eyes fell onto Sadira as she happily ate her lunch and conversed with Yuzuriha avidly about something that had occurred the day before with a certain Shirou Kamui. Laughter seemed to dance in her eyes only making her smile in return. As much as she hated to admit it, she really loved Sadira and her overly anxious ways.

                As an after thought she became aware of the fact that she was staring at Yukito whom was leaning precariously over the side of the building not to far away from her. He looked like he was in an immense amount of pain seeming almost incapable of holding himself up.

                It made her worried. In fact she was so worried she couldn't help but stare at his lithe figure. Suddenly he swaggered and tumbled head first over the rail. "Yuki!" Running to where he was hanging onto the side of the building she grasped his hands and looked into his deep brown eyes. He was scared, and yet calm as if he knew he was all right, but soon a wave of pain washed over him and he lost his grip on the building. Clutching him with all her might, fear seeped into her deep green eyes. "Oh God… Please Yuki… don't let go…"

                Yukito tried his best to hold on as a small timid smile washed over his face. "You've… never called me that… before…" Breathing in frantically they both clung to one another in desperation. "I… can't… hold on…"

                "Don't give up Yuki!" Tears somehow found their way from her eyes as she felt his hand slipping out of hers. "Please… no…" It was happening all too quickly, and by the time Touya realized what was happening, it was already too late for him to save his best friend. Yukito looked up and felt as though he were moving in slow motion. He saw the fear and anguish in Solis' eyes and felt himself smile. Maybe Yue… it wasn't such a good idea to leave her care…

                In a split second, she made her decision. The deep eyes of green faded into a light spring green and two large pearl white wings burst from her back within a blinding white light. Leaping from the building she dived downwards toward Yukito and grasped him into her arms. Rising back into the air, she lighted down onto the rooftop and stared helplessly down into his calm brown eyes. They were too calm, like they had already known her secret. Looking up she saw the look of shock on Touya and Sadira's face and knew what she must do. Settling Yukito back onto the ground she smiled at him lightly. "I'll be back."

                Taking slow deliberate steps in the two's direction, she looked over at the distraught Yuzuriha. "Surprised to see me? Don't worry…" Turning back to Touya, she smiled and kissed the tip of her index finger and pressed it to his forehead. As a bright light erupted from its tip, she caught him as he became limp. Resting him on the ground she then looked up at the trembling form of Sadira.

                "Don't be frightened Dira-chan…" With those words, she carried out the same motions with her blonde friend. Looking back to Yuzuriha she closed her silver and green eyes and caused the wings to dispel in a swirl of feathers. "I just erased their memories… they're ok…"

                Yuzuriha nodded and sighed in great relief. "I don't understand what happened… But I'm glad Tsukishiro-san is ok…" Looking over at his half unconscious form she smiled. "You've taken a liking to him haven't you Lis-chan?"

                "Perhaps…" Walking back over to him she cradled his head in her lap. I really don't know why I did that… but… I'm glad… Don't ever do that again Yuki… Onegai…
