Authors Note:Okay, this is my first song fic and my first posted fic, so
I don't think it's going to be very good, but I heard this song on the
radio the other night and just had this idea pop into my head for a fic.
I'll probably re-do it later, but for right now, this is how it is.
Anyway, read and please review, since this is my first fic I've actually
recieved honest feedback on, I need to know how to change my writing
style.

I don't wanna lose you,
I don't wanna use you
just to have sombody by my side

Clow Reed stood out by a large bank window in his bedroom, staring out
at the night sky. He looked back at his bed and sighed, seeing the man
lying there, his long silver hair spilling over the side of the bed, his
wings lying beside him. He knew Yue loved him. He knew Yue thought he
loved him back. He knew he really didn't. Not the way Yue wanted him to.

And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore

Clow sighed again, turning from the window and lying down beside his
lover. He looked over and contemplated the face of the man he had gotten
used to seeing every day for the past couple years when he went to sleep.
His face saddened as he thought about what he was about to do to him. He
was about to hurt him deeper than anyone else was able to. Clow felt a
tear well up in his eye, but forced himself to erase that from his body.
'After all,' he thought, 'It's better I do this now than later, when he
might be more attatched. I can't stay alive forever.' With that thought
in his mind, he slipped off to sleep.

But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door

The next morning, Clow woke up, to see Yue walking out the bedroom door
quietly. He looked over at the window and saw an empty glass sitting
there. 'What's that doing there?' he thought to himself, before he
remembered the night before. 'Oh yes, I must tell them my decision
today.' He stood and quickly dressed, walking calmly out the door to his
study. He summoned his creations and a few seconds later, Keroberos came
bounding in the door, followed at a slower pace by Yue. "Good morning,"
he greeted.
"Good Morning Clow-sama," responded Kero cheerfully. "What did you need
us for?"
"I wished to inform you of a decision I reached last night."
"Yes Master, what is it?" Yue asked calmly.
"I have decided, the time has come, for me to die."
"What??????" exclaimed Kero and Yue indignantly.
"But, Clow-sama, why? You could easily live for many more years."
"I have grown weary of this world Keroberos. I wish to move on."
"But, Master, what about us?"
"I have chosen a new master for you. When they come, you will know."
"But I don't want another master!!! I only want you!!!!!"
"You will love this new master just as much as you loved me."
"No!!! I will never love another as I love you!!!!!!"
"Yue, if you wish, you may choose the new master, judge whether they are
worthy of your protection."
"If that is to be my duty, I will not choose anyone. Then you will have
no choice but to return to us!"
"You will be the judge Yue. Keroberos, you will be placed in charge of
guarding the cards until someone comes along you feel is worthy of
taking the test."
"Yes Clow-sama."
"Yue?"
"No Master, I refuse!!" he yelled, turning and walking rapidly out of
the room.

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

Yue walked along through the gardens at Clow's mansion, simply walking
and thinking. 'How could he do this to me? Doesn't he know I will never
love another? Why doesn't he understand that he is the only person who
will be worthy of the title master to me? Why must he leave me like
this?' Yue heard a twig crack behind him and sensed his master
approaching. He quickly spread his wings and flew up into the air,
escaping from Clow.

Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall

Clow stared up at the retreating form of Yue sadly, wanting to chase
after him but respecting his need for privacy. He sighed and turned to
go inside. 'Yue...I didn't want to hurt you, that was never my
intention. I am tired Yue, why don't you understand that? I am tired of
this existance, of living. You did nothing wrong, why do you insist on
blaming yourself? You do not make me want to leave. I wish I didn't have
to do this Yue.' He walked back inside his home to begin the final
preperations for his death.

Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you

Yue walked into the bedroom he shared with Clow that evening, expecting
it to be empty. Rather than that, Clow was sitting in a chair, staring
out the window again. He turned, sensing Yue's presence and waved him
over. Yue obeyed and stood beside his master. "Yue," Clow said quietly,
not looking directly at him, "You need to understand something about
this."
"What is it master? You are leaving me, what more is there to understand?"
"Yue, I am not leaving because of you. I am not trying to hurt you,
although I clearly am."
"Then why are you leaving me master?"
"I am not leaving you Yue. I will always be here, watching over you."

Maybe I just want to have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change

"Master, I don't understand. Why are you leaving then?"
"I am tired Yue. I can no longer go on living in this world. It is
difficult for me to explain, as you are immortal, but I will try to
explain.
"I have seen things in my lifetime, that most people never see. I have
seen my parents die, my brothers and sisters die, my neices, nephews,
cousins, and aunts and uncles die. I watched as people I had known since
childhood slowly grew older and died, while I stayed the same. I have
seen things no person wants to, or should, have to see. And now, after
three hundred seventy-six years of death, I am tired of it. I have
grown weary of seeing people around me die. I no longer wish to see it.
The time has come for me to go join my family. Someday Yue, I hope you
will understand."
"I will try to understand Master, but I still do not wish for you to
leave. I want you to stay here forever, with me."
"You have always known I would leave someday."
"Yes, but I thought you would change your mind!! I thought you would
decide to stay once you saw how much I loved you!!!"

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

"I know how much you love me Yue. I love you as well. I cannot, however,
stay with you. It is love that forces me to leave Yue. I do not wish to
ruin your life by staying here any longer. I have already scarred you
enough."
"But, Master..."
"No Yue," he said in a forceful tone, "I will not stay. I will die
tomorrow and the next day, you will be sealed into the book along with
Keroberos. That is the only thing I can do now Yue. Good night." Clow
moved to the bed and laid down, falling asleep quickly.

And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say

Yue awoke at midnight that night with a distinct feeling that there was
something wrong. He looked beside him and saw Clow lying still. The
blood drained out of his face and he leaned over, checking his pulse.
He sat down heavily, having felt no pulse. Clow was dead. A single tear
drew a wet path down the side of his face before being violently dashed
away by the moon guardian. He gently kissed Clows cold lips before
standing and leaving the room. He stepped into Keroberos' room and shook
him from his slumber. "Keroberos, our master is dead."
Keroberos sat up sharply and they moved into the room, where Yue gently
lifted Clow's form and moved him out to the preperation room, where he
set him down gently before the two left the room, after going through
the ritual.

Do you feel me beside you in your bed
there beside you where I used to lay

Back in his room, Yue lay back down on the bed, unable to sleep. He
sighed heavily, looking over at where Clow was lying just hours before.
'Master, why did you have to leave? I miss you already.'
'Yue,' came a voice in his mind.
"Master?" he said questioningly.
'Yes Yue. I have not left. I am still here, always with you. I will
always be right beside you.' Yue sighed contentedly as Clow continued
to speak to him and he slowly drifted off into a soft slumber.

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough

Yue awoke calmly the next morning, standing and moving out of the room,
meeting Keroberos in Clow's study, where they found the Clow book, the
cards stacked neatly inside. Yue placed his hand on the back while
Keroberos placed a paw on the front and a sudden warmth enveloped the
two. A soft white light surrounded the two and when it dissipated, they
were gone, in their places inside the book.
