Well, hello! And Welcome to My Little World of Weirdness!
I state for the record that, despite the fact I really, really wish I did, I don't own any of the characters that will grace this story; it's all CLAMP's! Always has been, always will be!
Also I don't pretend to have any Mastery over the language of Japanese or any clue as to correct grammatical structure. I put it in and hope it gets across the point I'm trying to make!
Also, I've only ever seen the American dub, the first 3 and the 5th DVDs of the sub. Everything else about the whole Sakura-Eriol-Yue arch I've gleaned from the Internet. Sorry if they are all OOC or I slip up and start calling Syaoran, simply Li. Someone? Do tell me if I do that! And before I get any complaints, consider them all to be in their mid-teens, the time when everybody starts making dirty little jokes!!

The Magical, Mythical, Mischievous Master Clow.
By Dr Megalomania.
For a small city called Tomoeda, of the lovely isle of Japan, the week began like any other. For four magical guardians, the week began hellishly with the activation of an ancient curse, bestowed upon them a long, long time ago . . .
Part ten: Sunday - Nichiyoobi . . . The Aftermath
[Caution: this chapter comes with high info-dump and sap content . . . therefore the author advises readers of a diabetic nature to get their insulin ready!!]
. . . Midnight.
The city of Tomoeda slept as the witching hour rolled by. The only odd occurrence was that of the school's bells chiming the hour.
The Kinotomo household was fast asleep, Sakura murmured that she had already caught the time card, and Syaoran unconsciously pulled her closer saying that yes he had already been prepared for it. Tomoyo chuckled dozily and muttered something about recording Sakura's bravery, and Eriol chuckled back, "Only if you have a video tape in your camera, my dear . . ."
As time stopped, pausing for a bit of a breather, only Eriol was even remotely aware of the swirling tendrils of violet magic gathering once more in Sakura's room. He lifted his hand and pointed in the vague direction of the window.
"I fink they're on the roof!" He slurred sleepily. The purple mist nodded it's thanks and went out the window . . . only to turn around and grab a piece of paper. Levitating a pen over to it, it settled beside Eriol and Tomoyo and started to scribble something on the paper. Eriol propped himself up on his elbow, and waited patiently for the mist.
It handed him the paper and he squinted at it, typically it was in Clow's spindly handwriting, "I can't read without my glasses," he informed the fog. A tendril sat up and looked around, it levitated his glasses and slipped them on him.
"Thank you," Eriol said as he peered at the paper, the mist glowed slightly to help him see. Eriol suddenly discovered he wasn't the half reincarnation that received the ability to read Clow's awful handwriting. He sighed and handed the paper back, "Our handwriting was and still is terrible!" He muttered and rolled over and resumed his hold on Tomoyo.
The mist jerked in annoyance and slapped at his hand. Eriol suddenly realised what the mist meant. "What? She's asleep! She won't notice my hand is there!"
The swirling magic folded two tendrils over each other, and cocked it's top tendril to the side.
"Don't you have a Spell to reverse? Go bug the guardians!" Eriol lay down again and wrapped his arm around Tomoyo's sleeping form tighter.
The sparkling magic shook it's top tendril, evidently the ability to read Clow's handwriting wasn't the only quality that Eriol had failed to inherit.
It slipped out the window and floated around the house, it peered into Touya's room, the young man was half naked and clutching his pillow, the magic tentatively reached into Touya's mind to find out what he was dreaming about. It jerked back suddenly, thinking perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to gallivant inside the boy's mind especially since his dreams revolved around, not only, killing both the magic's reincarnation and it's distant relative, but also about it's Moon guardian and the Moon guardian's false form at the same time.
Thinking about the Moon guardian reminded the sparkling magic of it's mission and made it swirl its way up to the roof.
"Why hasn't anything happened yet?" Asked Ruby slightly worried.
Kero looked at her to reassure her, "Clow wouldn't leave us like this forever . . ." he paused and turned to Yue, " . . . Would he?"
Yue wasn't looking at him, he was peering at the end of the roof, "No." he said simply, "He wouldn't."
The others followed his gaze. The purple swirling magic massed there, pulsing and churning.
Yue continued to stare at the charmed miasma. "It's over," he said with a tint of sadness. Kero pulled Yue closer, and Yue complied by returning to Kero's smaller form, Spinel and Ruby mimicked their actions. As the magic floated closer, Yue buried himself further into Kero's arms, and was comforted to feel Kero nuzzle his face into his. Yue felt a bit foolish for being slightly afraid, //What if this doesn't work? // He questioned, //What will we do?//
"We'll adapt." Said Kero quietly, "We always do."
Kero smiled as Yue looked at him, Yue stretched on Kero's stubby little legs and licked his brother lightly on the nose. The charmed mist enveloped them first. The two brothers closed their eyes and held each other tighter.
"Spinel?"
"Yes Ruby?"
"If this doesn't work . . ." she trailed off.
"Yes Ruby?"
"You have my permission to dress as a guy." She said quickly. She felt slightly scared but decided that she could really expect her brother to constantly pretend to be a girl.
"Well, if this doesn't work, you can be assured I'll try not get you drunk all the time."
She looked up at him, "Thank you," she said quietly.
As the magical miasma began to swirl around them too, they too, closed their eyes. Spinel clutched his sister, and murmured, "I lied, I do love you."
Ruby pulled the piece of clothing she held onto to her tighter. "I know."
Fujitaka paused outside his daughter's room, //why had he come here rather than retire to his own room?// His consciousness faded away as he knocked lightly on the door.
Eriol opened it. "Good evening Clow."
Clow smiled, "Konbanwa, Clow."
Eriol smiled slightly as he felt his own consciousness slip away.
The two halves of Clow Reed readjusted their glasses, Clow/Eriol closed the door silently. "The Spell should be done by now."
Clow/Fujitaka nodded, and motioned Clow/Eriol to the attic steps. "You dirty old man!" he muttered.
Clow/Eriol smile over his shoulder, "She was fast asleep, it's not like she'd notice."
Clow/Fujitaka chortled quietly. "Dirty, *dirty* old man!
"Oh, this comes from the same reincarnation that took a sixteen-year-old for a wife!"
"Hey! It's all in the name of Fate!"
Clow/Eriol paused on the ladder, and peered at his other half. He raised an unconvinced eyebrow, "Fate has *nothing* to do with *anything*, you know that!" He made a wide circle with his hands to emphasis his point, "It's *all* coincidences, *we* were just *lucky*."
Clow/Fujitaka pressed his finger against his lips, "Shhh!" He tipped his head towards the sleeping Cardcaptor and her comrades. "They don't know that," Clow/Fujitaka added with a wink.
The two Clows chuckled deviously as they made their way up to the roof.
Yue kept his eyes shut, not willing to see whether or no the Spell had worked. When he felt purring near his chest, he felt for an awful moment the Spell hadn't worked, a dozen or so terrible scenarios spun in his head. The Spell had gone dreadfully wrong and now he was in Spinel's tiny body, or even worst he was trapped in Ruby. Something very tiny and wet, brushed against his nose. "Yue?" Kero's small voice whispered, "Yue, open your eyes!"
Yue pulled open one eye and then the other. Kero was sitting quite happily in the palms of Yue's hands. "The Spell worked." He said quietly, and was surprised at the sound of his own, quiet voice.
"The Spell worked!" Repeated Kero as he stood and did a tiny pirouette in the air.
They jumped when Ruby squealed loudly, "IT WORKED!! SUPPI!! IT WORKED!! IT WORKED! IT WORKED!!" She jumped up and danced. Spinel flew down to the roof and changed into his larger form, "Ah, peace!"
"So . . . what have you all learned?" a doubled voice behind them startled the four.
The group stopped their rejoicing, and turned to see both Fujitaka and Eriol standing up through the skylight.
The guardians sat down again, and pondered the question, Spinel was the first to answer, "That we are the only family we have?"
"That we do need to be a bit more respectful to each other?" Guessed Ruby.
Kero looked at Yue before giving his answer, "To be a little more careful around each other and that there really are times I need to listen to Yue?"
Yue nodded earnestly. "I learned the most important thing about our existence is that we need to act more like the team we were created to be."
Both reincarnations nodded, "You have learnt the lesson well, I am proud of all of you." The Clows smiled, "I see no reason to force the second step of the Spell on you."
"What second step?" asked Kero suspiciously.
"Well, I was going to have you swap bodies again . . . only Kero to Spinel and vice versa and Ruby and Yue swap when the Clow cards were unsealed again . . . but I see no reason to take that step anymore."
"Yes, indeed, team-ship." Yue turned to his siblings, "and I propose the first example of team-ship we show is that . . ." He glared at the two Clows, " . . . WE MURDER THE BOTH OF THEM FOR THE NIGHTMARE THEY PUT US THROUGH!!" He roared. The four guardians leapt to their feet.
Both versions of Clow grinned, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Clow/Fujitaka shook his finger at Yue and Keroberos, "I'm your Mistress' father!"
"And I'm your Master!" Added Clow/Eriol.
"And on top of that," they both cried mischievously, "I'M ALREADY DEAD!!"
The two laughed as they ducked and slammed the skylight shut.
Kero sighed and shook his head; "He's right, y'know!"
"Maybe," said Yue.
"You have a plan?" asked Spinel.
"Not yet." Yue folded his arms and narrowed his eyes, "But give me some time."
"Yeah, it is a bit late," said Ruby, as she yawned, "Let's go to bed and we'll come up with something truly evil in the morning."
Spinel, Ruby, Kero and Yue flew back into the house, and stood in the upstairs hallway. "Well, that was all very. . . *interesting*, to say the least," said Spinel as he hovered on Ruby's shoulder. "I wouldn't want to repeat the experience." And with that he flew into Sakura's room.
"Suppi maybe right about that," said Ruby and then held up a hairbrush, "I'm never going another hour without brushing my hair ever again!!"
"You may want to use a comb for your type of hair . . ." Kero trailed off when he realised what he was saying. "Spinel may be a smart-arsed-know-it- all but he's right. *Never* again! Now I have all these useless facts about hair floating around in my poor brain!" He swotted Yue with his tail, " 'Night you two!"
Kero followed Spinel into his Mistress' room.
Once inside Spinel had flown over to his sleeping Master. He looked up at Sakura's desk; Spinel usually liked to sleep on his own but tonight had the sudden urge to be nearer to his Master. He padded closer to Eriol's sleeping face, and pondered his indecision.
"C'mere Spinel," said Eriol sleepily and wrapped his hand around his Sun guardian.
Spinel cuddled up to his Master. //Perhaps this had been a good event after all.// he thought contentedly.
Kero fluttered over to his Mistress, much as he like being in Yue's body; he had missed getting to sleep like this; snuggled up tight to his Mistress. "Yue?" Sakura muttered.
"No Mistress, it's Keroberos."
"Get lost stuffed animal!" Muttered Syaoran darkly.
Kero would have bitten the Gaki, but felt too tired. His whole body ached. //Yue pushed it to the max!// Kero thought as he fluttered over to his own bed. //Bed! I missed you!!// Kero thought happily.
"Hayaannn!!" Kero sighed as he slipped under his own covers.
Ruby poked Yue in the stomach. "So . . . how's it feel?" She whispered.
"What?" Yue folded his arms, and looked at her coolly.
"To have run complete riot for the first time in years?"
"I did not run riot!" Ruby's face fell at Yue's harsh tone. Maybe it had been too good to be true. The old Yue was probably going to disappear under the repressed, boring Judgement Maker once more, she sighed. A wicked gleam flashed in Yue's eyes, "I raised *Hell*!"
Ruby threw her arms around Yue, " 'Niichan! I missed you!!"
After a few moments, Yue slipped his arms around Ruby. "I missed me too! Now, why don't you go to bed with Spinel?"
"I was going to brush my hair and then go sleep with Touya."
Yue tightened his grip on Ruby slightly. "I think a better idea would be to brush your hair, then go sleep with Spinel, because when you wake up, you won't find you've been shaved *bald*." He pulled back to look her in the face, "Understand where I'm coming from?"
She nodded and strode mutely into the bathroom. Yue shook his head and stepped into Touya's bedroom.
Ruby brushed her hair, she'd missed it. Being Suppi had been fun, and she had gone back to her past. She had run complete riot, had got messy, and sticky, and wet, and played games again. Her brushing slowed.
She looked up, at herself in the mirror. She'd done that a lot since her creator had died. She'd been a plump happy child, but then her Master had died, and she had become very self-conscious. She realised, that she looked the way she did because it was the only thing she could control. She couldn't control Clow's death, or how Spinel reacted to her, but she could control her looks.
Ruby Moon set the brush aside and glided along the corridor, she took each of the hairpins, she usually left in her hair when she slept, out of her hair and let each pin drop to the floor.
She crept into Sakura's bedroom and curled around her brother and their new Master.
"I thought you were going to brush your hair . . ." murmured Spinel.
"I'll brush it in the morning . . . I just wanna be close to my family right now."
Eriol smiled deeply in his sleep. Somewhere in his subconscious a certain dead magician was doing high fives with his half reincarnation . . . and chanting 'Who's da man?! We're da man!' for some bizarre reason . . . Then again, this *was* Hiirawagizawa Eriol's mind . . .
Yue swept across Touya's room. He paused briefly to consider the sleeping form of the elder brother of his new Mistress. He really did look a lot like Clow, //Right down to that little mole on his---// Yue shook his head and carried on to the window.
He gazed out briefly as he allowed the transformation to take place.
Tsukishiro Yukito blinked. He was standing near the window of Touya's bedroom.
//What the--?//
"Psst!"
Yukito jumped. He looked around the room to see who was calling him. Touya was fast asleep.
"Psst! Behind you!"
Yukito turned towards the window again; he didn't see anyone outside, //where was that-//
"GAH!!" He jumped back as he realise his reflection wasn't his reflection; it was someone else's. "Wh-who are you?!" Poor Yuki was a little unsettled by this.
"Shhh! Or you'll wake him," the ghostly reflection nodded towards Touya.
Yukito moved closer to the window. The being that looked back was as pale as he was, similar chin, similar fringe, the only difference was the eyes, which looked as if they were purple.
"I prefer to describe to them as amethyst." The being chuckled at Yukito's inner musings.
"You can read my mind?"
The being smiled knowingly and patted his chest.
Yukito mimicked his motion. It finally clicked, "Yue!"
Yue nodded, Yukito dipped his head respectfully, "Konbanwa, it's a pleasure to meet you . . . demo . . ."
"They'll explain in the morning . . ." The Moon guardian understood the Snow Bunny's confusion. "I just wanted to tell you . . ." the ghostly guardian smiled slightly and pressed his translucent hand against the glass, "I missed you . . . Good night Yukito."
Yukito smiled and pressed his very real pale hand against the reflection's, "Good night Yue."
And with that he climbed into bed next to Touya. Yuki had fallen fast asleep by the time Touya had rolled over and muttered "Kero! Get out of my bed!"
When 'Kero' wouldn't respond; Touya rolled him out of his bed. Burying his head back into the pillow, Touya muttered darkly, "And stay out!"
The Sun streamed cheerfully into the room and on to the small, pink blanketed bed. Sakura moaned slightly and shuffled deeper under the covers. Syaoran tighten his grip on Sakura and pulled the blanket over their heads. "Bloody Sunlight!" He swore.
Eriol shuffled slightly under the covers and waved his hands in the general direction of the curtains. They slid shut compliantly with the Spell as he sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked down on Tomoyo and grinned, shrugged and lay back down. He decided he was never a trendsetter, and choose not to be the first up.
The first up was actually Sakura, she'd gotten used to waking up without her alarm clock. She stretched and yawned contentedly. // Today is a great day . . .// she thought happily, // . . . a great day for good! //
She looked around, Tomoyo and Eriol were still curled up around each other, and Ruby and Spinel had shifted slightly but they were still in the same Yin-Yang position they were in last night, Kero's bedroom/drawer was still open, but Yue's body was gone.
"Kero?" she said quietly. Sakura shifted Syaoran's arm off her waist, and put on her slippers, tied her hair back, and slipped on her robe.
Fujitaka blew the steam away from the top of his coffee. He picked up the morning paper and started to read. "Sakura? You're up early." He said as his daughter entered the kitchen, he noticed her slightly lost look, "What's wrong?"
"Have you seen Ker- I mean Yu- Yukito?" she stuttered. Fujitaka smiled gently and half turned in his chair to answer, "No, I---" Her father's eyes went slightly unfocused. "It's Sunday, Sakura."
Sakura blinked in confusion, "Clow-sama?"
Clow smiled and nodded once, before her father's eyes refocused on her. Fujitaka blinked, "Who dear?"
"No-one," Sakura smiled, and spun on her heel and ran back up the stairs.
Touya yawned as he stirred; he still expected Yue to come screaming into his room demanding that he wake up and brush Kero's hair. He reached over to pull the blanket over his head. Touya opened his eyes when he realised that blanket wasn't in the bed. He sighed and leant over the edge of his bed. He banged his fist down on what he assumed was Kero's head.
"Baka! Gimme back my blanket!"
Yuki's bleary amber eyes peered out from under his whitish grey mope of hair, "Hmm?"
Touya sighed sharply and grabbed Yukito by his hair. "I said 'gimme back my blanket'."
Yukito suddenly transformed into Yue. "Get your hands off our hair!" Yue growled.
"Look, whether you're in Yukito's form or Yue's; you don't intimidate me! Blanket now!"
Yue motioned Touya closer. Touya narrowed his eyes and sat back. Yue sighed and sat on the bed next to him.
"It's Sunday," Yue said, and looked at Touya, waiting for the dark haired boy to wake up properly.
Touya's mouth fell open. //Sunday?! That means it's---//
The thought was never finished as he leapt on to Yue; "It's Sunday!!" he cried exuberantly, and rained down the first of several passionate kisses upon Yue's silvery face.
"Mwha! SUN- mwha! -DAY- mwha!!" Touya rejoiced, as he punctuated each syllable with a kiss.
"Good morning Master." A voice said sedately.
Eriol cracked open an eye to see Spinel looking down on him. "Good morning Spinel."
Sakura burst into the room. "Everyone wake up!! It's Sunday!! It's over!!"
Tomoyo sat up, and rubbed her eyes. "Sunday? That means . . ."
"KA-BOOOOOO!!!" Kero leapt out of his drawer. "It's Sunday!!" He spotted Sakura, "Sakura-chan! You'll make me a Modern-yaki, with extra noodles? Modern-yaki, Modern . . ." he flew at her and clutched her little peach nightgown. His beady little eyes opened largely and started to water, pleadingly. " . . . -Yaki?"
"Kero-chan!! Of course I'll make you a modern-yaki! I'll make any type of Yaki you want!!" she cried as she grabbed him by the paws and whirled him around the round.
"Wai!!" He jumped up, "Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki!" He chanted as he pranced about her room. "I'm having a Modern-Yaki, To-DAAAAY!!"
He leapt on to her bed in his large lion form and started to prance on it. "Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki!"
"OIIIIII!!!" Cried Syaoran, "GET OFF ME!!"
Sakura sped down the hall to see if her Oniichan was awake. "Oniichan!! Oniichan! Wake up!! It's Sunday!!"
Just as she placed her hand on the door, it swung open. She almost fell over, when a pair of strong pale white arms caught her. She looked up and saw Yukito crouching down beside her, warm amber eyes staring at her with concern, "Be careful, Sakura-chan."
"Yukito!!" She squealed, "Yukito!!"
"Hai, hai!" He smiled, "Yue tells me something strange happened."
"Touya told you-wait! *Yue* told you?! But how?!"
"Let's exchange our tales over breakfast shall we? I'm famished."
As Sakura turned and ran into her own room, Yukito stood and smiled. He felt a warm arm slip around his waist, and his smile broaden. Yukito giggled lightly and allowed himself to be pulled gently back on to the bed. "So I gather you and Yue just had some fun?"
"Yeah," Touya worked hard to make it look like he hadn't have any fun with Yue. "We did, but it didn't last long, must be because I didn't get much. . ." he looked meaningfully into Yukito eyes, "*sleep* *all* week!"
Yukito's eyes briefly flashed amethyst as he leant forward and push Touya down.
"Maybe we should try and catch up. . ." his voice dropped to a husky edge, "Don't want you to miss out on *sleep* now. . . do we?"
Later that day. . .
As the returned guardians, their Masters, and their friends and relatives talked over the week's events.
Clow joined Nadeshiko. "Is this really how you planned this?" She asked quietly. "I mean, my daughter as the Card Mistress and everything . . ."
Clow sniggered, "Of course, this is how I planned it . . . it's not like this whole Clow Cards thing was one giant, horrible, terrible mistake of mine and that I am now one lucky son-of-a-gun that your daughter happened to find the book . . ." he shook his head, "Of course, this is how I planned it, almost exactly how I planned it all!"
She didn't quite believe him but she didn't press the topic, "Not one of your best Spells," she chuckled lightly.
"Just a little messy." He replied. The two ghostly figures floated over them children as they told Yukito excitedly about what had happened while he had been under. "Hmm. . ." Clow added thoughtfully "Perhaps you're right."
Touya looked straight at them, and stood. He paused in the doorway, and looked at them, indicating he wanted to talk to the out in the corridor.
Once the door was closed, Touya turned to Clow. "Not one of your best Spells."
"Yes," Clow nodded "That's what your mother said,"
Touya raised his hand, and beckoned Clow's floating ghostly form closer. Clow dipped and put his feet on the ground, "What?"
Touya smiled and pulled his fist back.
"Touya!" Cried his mother, "You can't hit ghosts!!"
"Yeaaah!" Said Clow tauntingly. "Have some respect for your respectful dead!"
"Go hit Eriol!" Said Nadeshiko brightly.
Both men turned to her; "You're supposed to be sweet and unthreatening!" Said Clow.
"After the hell you put my children through?!"
"Good idea mother." Said Touya and walked back into his sister's room.
While Nadeshiko floated back into the room to get a ringside seat, Clow thought about what had happened.
During the week, the Kinomoto Residence had been home to many, many happy memories that were sometimes painful (like the time when Eriol had dropped several *hard coconuts on Syaoran's head, or like the time Yue had been bouncing on Kero's back in the bath, or even when Yue and Ruby had pretended to have run away), sometimes revengeful, (like the time Spinel found out that he could now drop kick Ruby out the window, or when Kero ran naked in the house, or when Kero threw Yue into the washing machine) and sometimes just plain weird (like the time the four guardians got so drunk they were bouncing off the walls for no other reason other than the fact the walls were just *there* or were yelling their names at each other for no logical reason at all.).
Ah, yes, many, many, many happy memories.
And of course, they all found out about each other's strengths and weakness, and had discovered that maybe it wasn't as fun as they thought it was to pull bigger and more elaborate stunts on each other.
Clow Reed smiled, and began to walk away. //indeed . . .// he thought, // . . .exactly how I planned it all!//
He paused as he remember there was one more facet of the Spell that would lie dormant until the four supernatural guardians were to be reunited once more, and the Sakura book unsealed by the next Cardcaptor.
"Oh, well," Clow Reed shrugged and chortled evilly, "Just wait until next time . . ."
And so our harrowing tale of mystery and intrigue, of bravery and valour, of golf clubs and soap bars ended . . . all thanks to The Magical, Mythical, Mischievous Master Clow.

//Thinking//
The Magical, Mythical, Mischievous Master Clow.
By Dr Megalomania.
For a small city called Tomoeda, of the lovely isle of Japan, the week began like any other. For four magical guardians, the week began hellishly with the activation of an ancient curse, bestowed upon them a long, long time ago . . .
Part ten: Sunday - Nichiyoobi . . . The Aftermath
[Caution: this chapter comes with high info-dump and sap content . . . therefore the author advises readers of a diabetic nature to get their insulin ready!!]
. . . Midnight.
The city of Tomoeda slept as the witching hour rolled by. The only odd occurrence was that of the school's bells chiming the hour.
The Kinotomo household was fast asleep, Sakura murmured that she had already caught the time card, and Syaoran unconsciously pulled her closer saying that yes he had already been prepared for it. Tomoyo chuckled dozily and muttered something about recording Sakura's bravery, and Eriol chuckled back, "Only if you have a video tape in your camera, my dear . . ."
As time stopped, pausing for a bit of a breather, only Eriol was even remotely aware of the swirling tendrils of violet magic gathering once more in Sakura's room. He lifted his hand and pointed in the vague direction of the window.
"I fink they're on the roof!" He slurred sleepily. The purple mist nodded it's thanks and went out the window . . . only to turn around and grab a piece of paper. Levitating a pen over to it, it settled beside Eriol and Tomoyo and started to scribble something on the paper. Eriol propped himself up on his elbow, and waited patiently for the mist.
It handed him the paper and he squinted at it, typically it was in Clow's spindly handwriting, "I can't read without my glasses," he informed the fog. A tendril sat up and looked around, it levitated his glasses and slipped them on him.
"Thank you," Eriol said as he peered at the paper, the mist glowed slightly to help him see. Eriol suddenly discovered he wasn't the half reincarnation that received the ability to read Clow's awful handwriting. He sighed and handed the paper back, "Our handwriting was and still is terrible!" He muttered and rolled over and resumed his hold on Tomoyo.
The mist jerked in annoyance and slapped at his hand. Eriol suddenly realised what the mist meant. "What? She's asleep! She won't notice my hand is there!"
The swirling magic folded two tendrils over each other, and cocked it's top tendril to the side.
"Don't you have a Spell to reverse? Go bug the guardians!" Eriol lay down again and wrapped his arm around Tomoyo's sleeping form tighter.
The sparkling magic shook it's top tendril, evidently the ability to read Clow's handwriting wasn't the only quality that Eriol had failed to inherit.
It slipped out the window and floated around the house, it peered into Touya's room, the young man was half naked and clutching his pillow, the magic tentatively reached into Touya's mind to find out what he was dreaming about. It jerked back suddenly, thinking perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to gallivant inside the boy's mind especially since his dreams revolved around, not only, killing both the magic's reincarnation and it's distant relative, but also about it's Moon guardian and the Moon guardian's false form at the same time.
Thinking about the Moon guardian reminded the sparkling magic of it's mission and made it swirl its way up to the roof.
"Why hasn't anything happened yet?" Asked Ruby slightly worried.
Kero looked at her to reassure her, "Clow wouldn't leave us like this forever . . ." he paused and turned to Yue, " . . . Would he?"
Yue wasn't looking at him, he was peering at the end of the roof, "No." he said simply, "He wouldn't."
The others followed his gaze. The purple swirling magic massed there, pulsing and churning.
Yue continued to stare at the charmed miasma. "It's over," he said with a tint of sadness. Kero pulled Yue closer, and Yue complied by returning to Kero's smaller form, Spinel and Ruby mimicked their actions. As the magic floated closer, Yue buried himself further into Kero's arms, and was comforted to feel Kero nuzzle his face into his. Yue felt a bit foolish for being slightly afraid, //What if this doesn't work? // He questioned, //What will we do?//
"We'll adapt." Said Kero quietly, "We always do."
Kero smiled as Yue looked at him, Yue stretched on Kero's stubby little legs and licked his brother lightly on the nose. The charmed mist enveloped them first. The two brothers closed their eyes and held each other tighter.
"Spinel?"
"Yes Ruby?"
"If this doesn't work . . ." she trailed off.
"Yes Ruby?"
"You have my permission to dress as a guy." She said quickly. She felt slightly scared but decided that she could really expect her brother to constantly pretend to be a girl.
"Well, if this doesn't work, you can be assured I'll try not get you drunk all the time."
She looked up at him, "Thank you," she said quietly.
As the magical miasma began to swirl around them too, they too, closed their eyes. Spinel clutched his sister, and murmured, "I lied, I do love you."
Ruby pulled the piece of clothing she held onto to her tighter. "I know."
Fujitaka paused outside his daughter's room, //why had he come here rather than retire to his own room?// His consciousness faded away as he knocked lightly on the door.
Eriol opened it. "Good evening Clow."
Clow smiled, "Konbanwa, Clow."
Eriol smiled slightly as he felt his own consciousness slip away.
The two halves of Clow Reed readjusted their glasses, Clow/Eriol closed the door silently. "The Spell should be done by now."
Clow/Fujitaka nodded, and motioned Clow/Eriol to the attic steps. "You dirty old man!" he muttered.
Clow/Eriol smile over his shoulder, "She was fast asleep, it's not like she'd notice."
Clow/Fujitaka chortled quietly. "Dirty, *dirty* old man!
"Oh, this comes from the same reincarnation that took a sixteen-year-old for a wife!"
"Hey! It's all in the name of Fate!"
Clow/Eriol paused on the ladder, and peered at his other half. He raised an unconvinced eyebrow, "Fate has *nothing* to do with *anything*, you know that!" He made a wide circle with his hands to emphasis his point, "It's *all* coincidences, *we* were just *lucky*."
Clow/Fujitaka pressed his finger against his lips, "Shhh!" He tipped his head towards the sleeping Cardcaptor and her comrades. "They don't know that," Clow/Fujitaka added with a wink.
The two Clows chuckled deviously as they made their way up to the roof.
Yue kept his eyes shut, not willing to see whether or no the Spell had worked. When he felt purring near his chest, he felt for an awful moment the Spell hadn't worked, a dozen or so terrible scenarios spun in his head. The Spell had gone dreadfully wrong and now he was in Spinel's tiny body, or even worst he was trapped in Ruby. Something very tiny and wet, brushed against his nose. "Yue?" Kero's small voice whispered, "Yue, open your eyes!"
Yue pulled open one eye and then the other. Kero was sitting quite happily in the palms of Yue's hands. "The Spell worked." He said quietly, and was surprised at the sound of his own, quiet voice.
"The Spell worked!" Repeated Kero as he stood and did a tiny pirouette in the air.
They jumped when Ruby squealed loudly, "IT WORKED!! SUPPI!! IT WORKED!! IT WORKED! IT WORKED!!" She jumped up and danced. Spinel flew down to the roof and changed into his larger form, "Ah, peace!"
"So . . . what have you all learned?" a doubled voice behind them startled the four.
The group stopped their rejoicing, and turned to see both Fujitaka and Eriol standing up through the skylight.
The guardians sat down again, and pondered the question, Spinel was the first to answer, "That we are the only family we have?"
"That we do need to be a bit more respectful to each other?" Guessed Ruby.
Kero looked at Yue before giving his answer, "To be a little more careful around each other and that there really are times I need to listen to Yue?"
Yue nodded earnestly. "I learned the most important thing about our existence is that we need to act more like the team we were created to be."
Both reincarnations nodded, "You have learnt the lesson well, I am proud of all of you." The Clows smiled, "I see no reason to force the second step of the Spell on you."
"What second step?" asked Kero suspiciously.
"Well, I was going to have you swap bodies again . . . only Kero to Spinel and vice versa and Ruby and Yue swap when the Clow cards were unsealed again . . . but I see no reason to take that step anymore."
"Yes, indeed, team-ship." Yue turned to his siblings, "and I propose the first example of team-ship we show is that . . ." He glared at the two Clows, " . . . WE MURDER THE BOTH OF THEM FOR THE NIGHTMARE THEY PUT US THROUGH!!" He roared. The four guardians leapt to their feet.
Both versions of Clow grinned, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Clow/Fujitaka shook his finger at Yue and Keroberos, "I'm your Mistress' father!"
"And I'm your Master!" Added Clow/Eriol.
"And on top of that," they both cried mischievously, "I'M ALREADY DEAD!!"
The two laughed as they ducked and slammed the skylight shut.
Kero sighed and shook his head; "He's right, y'know!"
"Maybe," said Yue.
"You have a plan?" asked Spinel.
"Not yet." Yue folded his arms and narrowed his eyes, "But give me some time."
"Yeah, it is a bit late," said Ruby, as she yawned, "Let's go to bed and we'll come up with something truly evil in the morning."
Spinel, Ruby, Kero and Yue flew back into the house, and stood in the upstairs hallway. "Well, that was all very. . . *interesting*, to say the least," said Spinel as he hovered on Ruby's shoulder. "I wouldn't want to repeat the experience." And with that he flew into Sakura's room.
"Suppi maybe right about that," said Ruby and then held up a hairbrush, "I'm never going another hour without brushing my hair ever again!!"
"You may want to use a comb for your type of hair . . ." Kero trailed off when he realised what he was saying. "Spinel may be a smart-arsed-know-it- all but he's right. *Never* again! Now I have all these useless facts about hair floating around in my poor brain!" He swotted Yue with his tail, " 'Night you two!"
Kero followed Spinel into his Mistress' room.
Once inside Spinel had flown over to his sleeping Master. He looked up at Sakura's desk; Spinel usually liked to sleep on his own but tonight had the sudden urge to be nearer to his Master. He padded closer to Eriol's sleeping face, and pondered his indecision.
"C'mere Spinel," said Eriol sleepily and wrapped his hand around his Sun guardian.
Spinel cuddled up to his Master. //Perhaps this had been a good event after all.// he thought contentedly.
Kero fluttered over to his Mistress, much as he like being in Yue's body; he had missed getting to sleep like this; snuggled up tight to his Mistress. "Yue?" Sakura muttered.
"No Mistress, it's Keroberos."
"Get lost stuffed animal!" Muttered Syaoran darkly.
Kero would have bitten the Gaki, but felt too tired. His whole body ached. //Yue pushed it to the max!// Kero thought as he fluttered over to his own bed. //Bed! I missed you!!// Kero thought happily.
"Hayaannn!!" Kero sighed as he slipped under his own covers.
Ruby poked Yue in the stomach. "So . . . how's it feel?" She whispered.
"What?" Yue folded his arms, and looked at her coolly.
"To have run complete riot for the first time in years?"
"I did not run riot!" Ruby's face fell at Yue's harsh tone. Maybe it had been too good to be true. The old Yue was probably going to disappear under the repressed, boring Judgement Maker once more, she sighed. A wicked gleam flashed in Yue's eyes, "I raised *Hell*!"
Ruby threw her arms around Yue, " 'Niichan! I missed you!!"
After a few moments, Yue slipped his arms around Ruby. "I missed me too! Now, why don't you go to bed with Spinel?"
"I was going to brush my hair and then go sleep with Touya."
Yue tightened his grip on Ruby slightly. "I think a better idea would be to brush your hair, then go sleep with Spinel, because when you wake up, you won't find you've been shaved *bald*." He pulled back to look her in the face, "Understand where I'm coming from?"
She nodded and strode mutely into the bathroom. Yue shook his head and stepped into Touya's bedroom.
Ruby brushed her hair, she'd missed it. Being Suppi had been fun, and she had gone back to her past. She had run complete riot, had got messy, and sticky, and wet, and played games again. Her brushing slowed.
She looked up, at herself in the mirror. She'd done that a lot since her creator had died. She'd been a plump happy child, but then her Master had died, and she had become very self-conscious. She realised, that she looked the way she did because it was the only thing she could control. She couldn't control Clow's death, or how Spinel reacted to her, but she could control her looks.
Ruby Moon set the brush aside and glided along the corridor, she took each of the hairpins, she usually left in her hair when she slept, out of her hair and let each pin drop to the floor.
She crept into Sakura's bedroom and curled around her brother and their new Master.
"I thought you were going to brush your hair . . ." murmured Spinel.
"I'll brush it in the morning . . . I just wanna be close to my family right now."
Eriol smiled deeply in his sleep. Somewhere in his subconscious a certain dead magician was doing high fives with his half reincarnation . . . and chanting 'Who's da man?! We're da man!' for some bizarre reason . . . Then again, this *was* Hiirawagizawa Eriol's mind . . .
Yue swept across Touya's room. He paused briefly to consider the sleeping form of the elder brother of his new Mistress. He really did look a lot like Clow, //Right down to that little mole on his---// Yue shook his head and carried on to the window.
He gazed out briefly as he allowed the transformation to take place.
Tsukishiro Yukito blinked. He was standing near the window of Touya's bedroom.
//What the--?//
"Psst!"
Yukito jumped. He looked around the room to see who was calling him. Touya was fast asleep.
"Psst! Behind you!"
Yukito turned towards the window again; he didn't see anyone outside, //where was that-//
"GAH!!" He jumped back as he realise his reflection wasn't his reflection; it was someone else's. "Wh-who are you?!" Poor Yuki was a little unsettled by this.
"Shhh! Or you'll wake him," the ghostly reflection nodded towards Touya.
Yukito moved closer to the window. The being that looked back was as pale as he was, similar chin, similar fringe, the only difference was the eyes, which looked as if they were purple.
"I prefer to describe to them as amethyst." The being chuckled at Yukito's inner musings.
"You can read my mind?"
The being smiled knowingly and patted his chest.
Yukito mimicked his motion. It finally clicked, "Yue!"
Yue nodded, Yukito dipped his head respectfully, "Konbanwa, it's a pleasure to meet you . . . demo . . ."
"They'll explain in the morning . . ." The Moon guardian understood the Snow Bunny's confusion. "I just wanted to tell you . . ." the ghostly guardian smiled slightly and pressed his translucent hand against the glass, "I missed you . . . Good night Yukito."
Yukito smiled and pressed his very real pale hand against the reflection's, "Good night Yue."
And with that he climbed into bed next to Touya. Yuki had fallen fast asleep by the time Touya had rolled over and muttered "Kero! Get out of my bed!"
When 'Kero' wouldn't respond; Touya rolled him out of his bed. Burying his head back into the pillow, Touya muttered darkly, "And stay out!"
The Sun streamed cheerfully into the room and on to the small, pink blanketed bed. Sakura moaned slightly and shuffled deeper under the covers. Syaoran tighten his grip on Sakura and pulled the blanket over their heads. "Bloody Sunlight!" He swore.
Eriol shuffled slightly under the covers and waved his hands in the general direction of the curtains. They slid shut compliantly with the Spell as he sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked down on Tomoyo and grinned, shrugged and lay back down. He decided he was never a trendsetter, and choose not to be the first up.
The first up was actually Sakura, she'd gotten used to waking up without her alarm clock. She stretched and yawned contentedly. // Today is a great day . . .// she thought happily, // . . . a great day for good! //
She looked around, Tomoyo and Eriol were still curled up around each other, and Ruby and Spinel had shifted slightly but they were still in the same Yin-Yang position they were in last night, Kero's bedroom/drawer was still open, but Yue's body was gone.
"Kero?" she said quietly. Sakura shifted Syaoran's arm off her waist, and put on her slippers, tied her hair back, and slipped on her robe.
Fujitaka blew the steam away from the top of his coffee. He picked up the morning paper and started to read. "Sakura? You're up early." He said as his daughter entered the kitchen, he noticed her slightly lost look, "What's wrong?"
"Have you seen Ker- I mean Yu- Yukito?" she stuttered. Fujitaka smiled gently and half turned in his chair to answer, "No, I---" Her father's eyes went slightly unfocused. "It's Sunday, Sakura."
Sakura blinked in confusion, "Clow-sama?"
Clow smiled and nodded once, before her father's eyes refocused on her. Fujitaka blinked, "Who dear?"
"No-one," Sakura smiled, and spun on her heel and ran back up the stairs.
Touya yawned as he stirred; he still expected Yue to come screaming into his room demanding that he wake up and brush Kero's hair. He reached over to pull the blanket over his head. Touya opened his eyes when he realised that blanket wasn't in the bed. He sighed and leant over the edge of his bed. He banged his fist down on what he assumed was Kero's head.
"Baka! Gimme back my blanket!"
Yuki's bleary amber eyes peered out from under his whitish grey mope of hair, "Hmm?"
Touya sighed sharply and grabbed Yukito by his hair. "I said 'gimme back my blanket'."
Yukito suddenly transformed into Yue. "Get your hands off our hair!" Yue growled.
"Look, whether you're in Yukito's form or Yue's; you don't intimidate me! Blanket now!"
Yue motioned Touya closer. Touya narrowed his eyes and sat back. Yue sighed and sat on the bed next to him.
"It's Sunday," Yue said, and looked at Touya, waiting for the dark haired boy to wake up properly.
Touya's mouth fell open. //Sunday?! That means it's---//
The thought was never finished as he leapt on to Yue; "It's Sunday!!" he cried exuberantly, and rained down the first of several passionate kisses upon Yue's silvery face.
"Mwha! SUN- mwha! -DAY- mwha!!" Touya rejoiced, as he punctuated each syllable with a kiss.
"Good morning Master." A voice said sedately.
Eriol cracked open an eye to see Spinel looking down on him. "Good morning Spinel."
Sakura burst into the room. "Everyone wake up!! It's Sunday!! It's over!!"
Tomoyo sat up, and rubbed her eyes. "Sunday? That means . . ."
"KA-BOOOOOO!!!" Kero leapt out of his drawer. "It's Sunday!!" He spotted Sakura, "Sakura-chan! You'll make me a Modern-yaki, with extra noodles? Modern-yaki, Modern . . ." he flew at her and clutched her little peach nightgown. His beady little eyes opened largely and started to water, pleadingly. " . . . -Yaki?"
"Kero-chan!! Of course I'll make you a modern-yaki! I'll make any type of Yaki you want!!" she cried as she grabbed him by the paws and whirled him around the round.
"Wai!!" He jumped up, "Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki!" He chanted as he pranced about her room. "I'm having a Modern-Yaki, To-DAAAAY!!"
He leapt on to her bed in his large lion form and started to prance on it. "Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki, Modern-Yaki!"
"OIIIIII!!!" Cried Syaoran, "GET OFF ME!!"
Sakura sped down the hall to see if her Oniichan was awake. "Oniichan!! Oniichan! Wake up!! It's Sunday!!"
Just as she placed her hand on the door, it swung open. She almost fell over, when a pair of strong pale white arms caught her. She looked up and saw Yukito crouching down beside her, warm amber eyes staring at her with concern, "Be careful, Sakura-chan."
"Yukito!!" She squealed, "Yukito!!"
"Hai, hai!" He smiled, "Yue tells me something strange happened."
"Touya told you-wait! *Yue* told you?! But how?!"
"Let's exchange our tales over breakfast shall we? I'm famished."
As Sakura turned and ran into her own room, Yukito stood and smiled. He felt a warm arm slip around his waist, and his smile broaden. Yukito giggled lightly and allowed himself to be pulled gently back on to the bed. "So I gather you and Yue just had some fun?"
"Yeah," Touya worked hard to make it look like he hadn't have any fun with Yue. "We did, but it didn't last long, must be because I didn't get much. . ." he looked meaningfully into Yukito eyes, "*sleep* *all* week!"
Yukito's eyes briefly flashed amethyst as he leant forward and push Touya down.
"Maybe we should try and catch up. . ." his voice dropped to a husky edge, "Don't want you to miss out on *sleep* now. . . do we?"
Later that day. . .
As the returned guardians, their Masters, and their friends and relatives talked over the week's events.
Clow joined Nadeshiko. "Is this really how you planned this?" She asked quietly. "I mean, my daughter as the Card Mistress and everything . . ."
Clow sniggered, "Of course, this is how I planned it . . . it's not like this whole Clow Cards thing was one giant, horrible, terrible mistake of mine and that I am now one lucky son-of-a-gun that your daughter happened to find the book . . ." he shook his head, "Of course, this is how I planned it, almost exactly how I planned it all!"
She didn't quite believe him but she didn't press the topic, "Not one of your best Spells," she chuckled lightly.
"Just a little messy." He replied. The two ghostly figures floated over them children as they told Yukito excitedly about what had happened while he had been under. "Hmm. . ." Clow added thoughtfully "Perhaps you're right."
Touya looked straight at them, and stood. He paused in the doorway, and looked at them, indicating he wanted to talk to the out in the corridor.
Once the door was closed, Touya turned to Clow. "Not one of your best Spells."
"Yes," Clow nodded "That's what your mother said,"
Touya raised his hand, and beckoned Clow's floating ghostly form closer. Clow dipped and put his feet on the ground, "What?"
Touya smiled and pulled his fist back.
"Touya!" Cried his mother, "You can't hit ghosts!!"
"Yeaaah!" Said Clow tauntingly. "Have some respect for your respectful dead!"
"Go hit Eriol!" Said Nadeshiko brightly.
Both men turned to her; "You're supposed to be sweet and unthreatening!" Said Clow.
"After the hell you put my children through?!"
"Good idea mother." Said Touya and walked back into his sister's room.
While Nadeshiko floated back into the room to get a ringside seat, Clow thought about what had happened.
During the week, the Kinomoto Residence had been home to many, many happy memories that were sometimes painful (like the time when Eriol had dropped several *hard coconuts on Syaoran's head, or like the time Yue had been bouncing on Kero's back in the bath, or even when Yue and Ruby had pretended to have run away), sometimes revengeful, (like the time Spinel found out that he could now drop kick Ruby out the window, or when Kero ran naked in the house, or when Kero threw Yue into the washing machine) and sometimes just plain weird (like the time the four guardians got so drunk they were bouncing off the walls for no other reason other than the fact the walls were just *there* or were yelling their names at each other for no logical reason at all.).
Ah, yes, many, many, many happy memories.
And of course, they all found out about each other's strengths and weakness, and had discovered that maybe it wasn't as fun as they thought it was to pull bigger and more elaborate stunts on each other.
Clow Reed smiled, and began to walk away. //indeed . . .// he thought, // . . .exactly how I planned it all!//
He paused as he remember there was one more facet of the Spell that would lie dormant until the four supernatural guardians were to be reunited once more, and the Sakura book unsealed by the next Cardcaptor.
"Oh, well," Clow Reed shrugged and chortled evilly, "Just wait until next time . . ."
And so our harrowing tale of mystery and intrigue, of bravery and valour, of golf clubs and soap bars ended . . . all thanks to The Magical, Mythical, Mischievous Master Clow.
