Together Forever
by: Sakura Lilly
A/N: Hello minna-san, here I am with yet another fanfic, without still having completed the others =P. This is another YUExRUBYMOON fanfic again, anyone who has read any of my CCS fanfics must know how I keep insisting that these two should be together. This time there's also KEROxSPINEL. If you hate the idea of YxR or KxS please don't read this. You may flame me all you want but I that won't change my mind. Oh yeah also there may be other canon and non-canon couples mentioned. Some mild sexual scenes here, nothing explicit nor hentai, just lime scented, but I'm just warning you if you hate the stuff. This includes shounen-ai (boyxboy relationship) so you're warned about that too. So you'd better NOT dare flame me 'cause I did warn you, and if you I don't care. XP
Disclaimer: I do not own Yue/Yukito, Ruby/Nakuru,
Kero-chan/Cerberus, Suppi-chan/Spinel Sun, nor any other characters, nor Card
Captor Sakura. They were created by CLAMP. I not profiting out of this story,
it's written solely for entertainment, yours (hopefully) and mine.
Sakura was going to die soon, she felt the life slowly sliding away from her, not even her magic was useful now. All of her Guardians knew it too. Eriol had passed away some 20 years ago, because he had given up his magic a long time ago. He had left his two guardians: Ruby Moon and Spinel Sun and his house to Sakura and Syaoran, who had still looked young and alive even as the rest of their friends had aged. It was their strong magic that kept them. But 5 years ago Syaoran too, passed away, leaving Sakura only in the company of her four guardians: Cerberus, Yue, Ruby Moon, and Spinel Sun.
One snowy evening Sakura called all of her guardians to her room for a special meeting. She knew her life wouldn't last more than a couple of days, a week at most. Yue, Ruby, Cerberus, and Spinel Sun went to her room, all of them standing by her bedside, watching her, waiting for her to speak. Cerberus and Spinel Sun changed to their small form so they could be closer to her. Yue and Ruby stood on either side of her bed.
"My dear Guardians, I know I will pass away soon..." Sakura started. "No, Mistress..." Ruby Moon interrupted her but was stopped to say anything more by Yue. "Ruby Moon, let her continue." "Thank you Yue-san." Sakura said and nodded in Yue's direction and then she continued. "As said I know I'll pass away soon, you probably know it as well. I feel that my magic is no longer supporting my life as it used to and soon it won't be enough to keep me at all." she explained.
"But Mistress, we could give up our lives to save yours. I-I wouldn't be able to stand both of you..." Ruby Moon said with tears in her eyes. She closed them as memories of Touya came to her. Back in her 'high school and college' days she had really been in love with him. At first it was just a game but soon she knew she loved him. Her heart was broken when learned he had been in love with Kaho and still loved her. Kaho and Touya had gotten married a long time ago, she'd been hiding her hurting heart under her usual genkiness mask. And then she remembered he had been there too, the one who was now one of her only friends. Yue, or rather Yukito at that time time. Yue, the one who always hid behind his mask too, his mask of indifference.
"No, Ruby-chan. I don't want that, my time to join my beloved Syaoran and my dear family and friends has come. I must depart soon but I want to offer you something before I leave this realm." Sakura said, which brought Ruby Moon back to reality. "What is that you want to offer us, Sakura?" Kero-chan asked, saddened by her words, but at the same time curious about it. "I know that Clow made you immortal, magical beings, but you have to live hidden from the world, unable to experiment every emotion and feeling the world outside offers you. I don't want that for you, especially for you." she said looking at Kero-chan and Suppi-chan who passed their time in the real world as 'stuffed animals' like Meiling used to call them.
"I want to give you humanity." Sakura finished. The four guardians stood there, so surprised they didn't know what to say. It was a decision between immortality and humanity. "Does that mean then that there will be no other Master or Mistress for us in the future?" Suppi-chan asked.
"No, there won't be another Master. I know how much Yue and Kero-chan suffered when Clow died, and I see how you suffer for me, even though I don't deserve it. I don't want that to happen to you again, and besides the Clow and Sakura Cards caused too much trouble. Sure, it was fun sometimes, but what if the next Master decided to use them for an evil purpose?, what if they fall in the wrong hands? It would be so easy to cause harm to innocents. No, I wouldn't want that to happen."
Sakura stopped as a coughing fit interrupted her. It was then that the guardians really noticed how weak she has become, she looked so frail. Ruby Moon wiped the tears that had come to her eyes. "I'm going to use all the magic contained in the Clow Cards to make you human, unless you'd rather stay immortal." Sakura continued.
Kero-chan and Suppi-chan looked at each other. They both longed for it. They had always seen Yue and Ruby Moon with envy because they could mingle with mortals efforlessly and successfully, now Sakura was offering them the oportunity to do it.
"I want to do it Sakura-chan, I wish it with all my heart." Kero-chan said. "Me too." Suppi-chan replied. Yue and Ruby Moon remained quiet. Yue didn't want to do it, he was satisfied with the way Clow had made him. "Domo arigatou Mistress, but I want to stay the way I am." Yue said. "I also want to remain like this." Ruby Moon replied, surprising everyone. Sakura, had thought that Ruby Moon, of all her guardians would have liked to be human the most, but she smiled at them anyhow.
"My dearest Guardians, it shall be as you wish. Yue, Ruby Moon, I want to say good-bye to you, this spell will surely take all of the energy I have left to complete, after it, well, you know." Sakura said. Yue and Ruby Moon leaned over her, and she kissed both of her Guardian's lips good-bye. "Sayonara Yue-san, sayonara Ruby-chan. It was an honor to have you both as my Guardians during all this time and I love you." Then came Kero's and Suppi's turn, she also kissed them and bid the good-bye.
"Now it's time." Sakura said. She took out all the Sakura Cards and summoned them. "My precious Cards I... Sayonara." she said, unable to say anything else. Then she drained them off their magical powers, leaving only ordinary cards, if rather pretty, behind. Then she started started reciting a spell. "What is not alive I want to make come to life, what is not human I now make into men."
A golden glow started surrounding Kero, and at the same time a violet glow surrounded Suppi. Huge wings closed over their small bodies. After a short time the wings disapperared and where Kero and Suppi had been standing now stood two beautiful looking men. Sakura had no more energy, she collasped as she whispered with her last breath, "Good by my dearest and precious Guardians."
"Sakura-chan, no...!" her four Guardians cried out and ran to her bedside. Kero took her face in his hands and kissed her now lifeless lips with his own new lips. "Arigatou gozaimasu, my dear Sakura-chan." he whispered. He took hold of her fragile body and led them all to the garden, where they buried her in a crystal coffin filled with cherry blossoms beside her beloved Syaoran. "Good bye, Sakura-chan..." all whispered.

After they had all finally returned to the house Ruby Moon and Yue finally took a good look at Kero and Suppi. In their new human forms, they were really beautiful and handsome. But none of them close to the beauty of Touya, or Yue... Wait, did I just think of YUE like that? This Yue? Nah, surely I'm too tired by now... she thought.
She took another look at them and noticed their assets. Kero was tall, with shoulder-lenght, straight, shining golden hair and slightly tanned skin. His eyes were pools of the golden colour of honey. He had gotten dressed in some of the clothes Syaoran had left behind after his death. He wore a green shirt and blue jeans. On the other side stood Spinel, how was just slightly shorter than Kero was. He had short, glistening blue-black hair and milky white skin. He looked at the others with his lovely emerald orbs. He on his part had gotten dressed on some clothes Eriol had left on this house. He wore a violet turtleneck shirt and black jeans. Both of them looked beautiful.
Yue had also noticed this, but as usual he said nothing. The pain of Sakura's death was still fresh in his heart. Why do all the people I care for have to die and leave me? Master Clow... To-ya... Sakura-chan... No, why? Why do I have to keep suffering like this, it's not fair. If someone else, no I wouldn't be able to take any more pain.
He felt tears start welling up in his eyes so he left the room, trying not to get anyone to notice. But she did, she the one he'd wanted the least to see his tears. She wanted go after him, but she knew how Yue valued his privacy and decided to give him a time to mourn over his loss, while she tried to keep up a cheerful face for their sakes. But this time it was too much for her, so she left the room too.
Why do I always have to be the cheerful one? Why does no one come when I feel side? Why do I have to move my feelings aside everytime? Like when my dear Touya-kun, Eriol-san, and now Sakura-chan... No, it's not fair... She sat had wandered into the garden and sat down below a plum tree, with fresh tears rolling down from her eyes, down her cheeks, for once casting her mask aside. She pulled her knees to her chest and hid her face in her hands. "Touya-kun, Sakura-chan..." she whispered.
She kept weeping, crying out all the pain she had kept inside her all these years, not caring anymore if anyone heard or saw her. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up to see Yue's silvery eyes, he wore the kindest look she had ever seen on him. "Daijoubu?" Yue asked. "Hai, I think so." she said trying to smile but failed and her tears kept flowing in an uncontainable flow. "Why don't you come in? It's getting cold." Yue said kindly and took her hand, helping her stand up. She stood up mechanically and followed him inside.
Yue led her to the kitchen and gave her a cup of tea he'd been brewing a while before. (A/N: Since Yue now seldom changed to Yukito he had to eat and drink). "Here, drink this." he told her. She took the cup he offered and sipped at the cinnamon tea. Why is he being so nice to me? I don't understand it. He's usually the one to retreat to loneliness when something like this happens, like with Touya-kun... At the thought of him she started crying again, not able control herself, not even in from of Yue. But he's so beautiful to me...
Yue didn't know why but it broke his already fragile heart to see her like this, she was always so happy and genki. He went to her and wrapped her in his arms from behind. She stood up and turned to face him, burying her head in his chest. He held like that until she could cry no more. "Why Yue? Why do we have to lose all our few loved ones like that? It's not fair." she finally spoke. "It's just the cycle of life Ruby, what is born must die sometime, even we can die." he explained.
Ruby Moon looked up at Yue, into those wonderful silvery obs, with a pleading look. "Please Yue, don't ever leave me, I wouldn't be able to stand it, I'd just die." she said as she clutched his arm tightly. Yue looked at her, the pleading look on her pretty crimson eyes, her dishaveled hair, the still fresh tears on her cheeks, and felt something inside him melt. His eyes softened, giving her the look he'd never given anyone but Clow and Touya. She looks so innocent and hurt... so beautiful... he thought, as his face started descending on hers. She tilted her head upwards and captured those beautifully pale lips of his with her own, kissing him. Yue kissed back, surprised to think that he'd really been wanting this. He pressed his tongue against her soft lips and she opened her mouth to let him inside, her tongue, shyly pressing against him, causing both of them to moan softly. Ruby Moon broke the kiss when she needed to breath, a soft pink blush on her pretty face.
"Yue..." she said, and suddenly after all the events of that day, she felt her energy fading. Yue took her in his arms and carried her up to her room, as he walked over to her bed, he tripped and both fell down on the bed with him on top of her. "Gomen..." he started to say as he blushed, noticing their embarrasing position, but was stopped by her lips on his. He suddenly became filled with a strong desire for her, realizing after all these years that he loved her. He started kissing back again, as he felt her hands tangling in her hair, his own hands on her body.
"Oh, Yue..." she started "I..." she couldn't finish as she felt his hands roaming on her body. She so wanted him, as she had from such a long time. He seemed to feel the same because he started taking off her dress, while he passionately kissed her neck. "Yue-sama..." she moaned. "We...we don't have to this if you don't want to..." he said, stopping for a moment. She brushed a silver lock out of his eyes, smiling at him, "Yue-kun, I want this, I've wanted this for such a long time..." she replied, blushing a pretty shade of pink, and started removing his clothing, as if to emphasize her previous statment. Yue nodded caressing her softly as if she were made of china, once more claiming her soft lips...

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Kero and Suppi were getting something to eat, not talking much. Finally, between bites, Kero finally broke the silence: "You know Spinel, we should get new names, somehow I think that our current names don't go well with this form, what do you say?" he waited for his response. Suppi swallowed and answered: "That's a rather good idea, though I can't believe it comes from you, but it's a good one, after all Yue and Ruby Moon took up the names of "Yukito" and "Nakuru". But what kind of names should we take?" "Dunno, gotta think for a moment." Kero replied.
Both young men started thinking of new names. "I think we should take Yue's and Ruby Moon's last names." Suppi suggested. "I suppose we could. What do you think of the name Tsukishirou Hikaru?" Kero asked. "Not quite that bad. How about Akisuki...Akizuki... I can't think of any good name." Suppi sighed. "We should ask Ruby Moon, she could help, us, I doubt Yue would." Kero said as he started eating some ice-cream.
When they were finished eating, the decided to go to see some TV. (A/N: Ok, this was Clow's house but Sakura got all the modern appliances, I.e. TV, fridge, etc.). As they reached the TV room they heard some wierd noises from Ruby's room. It didn't take but a few seconds for them to realize that the sounds were of Yue and Ruby Moon.
Kero snickered, "It was finally time those two realized their feelings for each other!" he said. Kero and Suppi laughed. "Actually it was time *Yue* realized it, Ruby's been in love with him for a long time." Suppi replied, giggling. "Really? But they were always fighting! Wait, how do you know?" Kero said, not believing what he heard. Suppi blushed, "I kinda read her diary." he admitted. Kero laughed again and Suppi joined him, still blushing. "Well I just hope the don't notice we er.. heard them while they um.. you know." Kero said when he stopped laughing. "Yeah Yue would kill us, if Ruby doesn't kill us by torture first." Suppi added and brought another fit of laughing from both.
They were quiet for such a long time, when Kero broke the silence again "Have you ever been in love Spinel?" Kero asked looking at him. "No, you?" Kero sighed and looked down "Yes, I have, but she always considered me just a friend, for which I'm grateful." Suppi sat down next to him, know who he was the person he talked about. "Sakura was a nice girl Cerberus, I can see why you loved her, but you were her guardian, a magical being, not human, like her." Kero felt tears building up in his eyes, for the first time knowing what it was like to cry. "But I loved her! More than anything else in the world! Oh Spinel, I miss her so much already. It hurts, it really hurts, much more than when Master Clow died."
Somehow Spinel felt touched by the scene before him, after all, Kero was his best friend, as he had been for many years now, and he couldn't bear to see him cry. He lifted a hand and wiped his tears away from his face. "Don't cry Kero-chan, please, I can't see those pretty eyes of yours spilling tears." Suppi blushed at what he had just said, but suddenly realized he felt rather attracted to Kero, whom Sakura had a beautiful man. Kero softly caressed the hand Spinel had kept on his face. "Spinel... I'm sorry, I can't help it. I loved her... and now... she's gone..." he whispered softly, slightly blushing at Suppi's and his actions.
"Kero-chan..." Suppi said in a soft voice as he gently took him in his arms and laid his head on his shoulder, letting him cry out all his grief, pain, and love for Sakura. After what seemed a long time, Kero stopped weeping and lifted his head to look at Spinel's deep, green eyes. "Spinel-kun, arigatou gozaimasu." he said, his face only inches away from his. "You're welcome, Kero-chan." Suppi replied as he dared close the last few inches placing a soft kiss on Kero's warm lips, both tasting the sweetness of the first kiss. And not long after that, both fell asleep on the couch, in each other's arms.

Yue and Ruby Moon rested in the bed, spent after all the events from the day. "Ai shiteru, Ruby-chan." Yue whispered, his arms wrapped around her. "Ai shiteru yo, Yue-sama, I have for such a long time." Ruby Moon replied, her fingers tangled in his long, silvery hair, her head resting against his chest. "I promise I'll never leave your side, I'll be with you forever." Yue said. "Arigatou, Yue-sama..." she replied snuggling even closer to him, feeling his warm body next to hers, before sleep took over both of them.
A/N: Eeek, the ending was soooo corny, but please bear with me, I'm not too good on angsty fics, XD. Oh well, I'm a corny person with some twisted, ecchi ideas, OH HO HO HO HO. *Cough* sorry for that cackling.

XP Anyhoo I wanna know what you think of my story, so if you would be so kind as to review it, please. And sorry if I seemed a little bichy above, it's just that I hate when someone flames about a story without reading the disclaimer and warnings. XD.
