A/N: Thanks to every one for the reviews!! Cliffhangers are the best way to end fics because you can be sure people will come back so I've another one for you tonight!! Yay! The only thing I've noticed is that when you go into Fanfiction.net The rating is always set in G-PG13 (well it is for me anyway) and my stories are rarely in those rating so people don't find them.It's very annoying. Well I'll get on with the fic.The Lyrics Board is on in half an hour so I have to hurry!!



Stormclouds Part 2



"Li.at last." Yue murmured quietly. "Are you." he trailed off realizing that the boy obviously wasn't alright. "My arm is broken.and I can't move." Fresh tears rolled down his cheeks "I can't move at all.I'm so scared Yue. He looked away in shame of his weakness. Yue bent down gently wiping away the tears. "Hush little one.I'll go and get help" "No!" Li cried "Don't leave me." he reached frantically with his uninjured hand grasping Yue's robe. "I don't know if this is a dream or if it's real.but I.I don't want it to be over yet.I'm so afraid." He sobbed. Yue gazed down at Li and there was something in his eyes that Li had never seen before, there was a kindness and gentleness instead of the iciness Yue usually wore. "How did you know I was missing?" he asked softly. "Your friend Wei called Mistress Sakura asking if she had seen you.that was two days ago Li." "Two days!?" Li gasped. The guardian nodded "Will you." he looked embarrassed, blushing slightly "Will you lift me so that I don't have to stay here by myself?" "I think that would be a bad idea.you injuries." "I don't care.how much worse can they get?" he said interrupting the guardian "That was a rhetorical question Yue so don't answer"



Yue smiled wryly and bent down. He tried to lift Li as gently as possible but any movement sent waves of pain coursing through his body. Li pressed his face to Yue's robe and muffled sobs could be heard. "Li I'm not sure." "It's okay.I can take it.It's getting more bearable" Li lied trying to suppress the sobs that threatened to escape his lips any second. Yue unfurled his wings and flew up towards the top of the cliff. Li fainted as the pain overwhelmed him. Yue decided to take Li directly to the hospital and then let everyone know of his condition. He landed in an alley near the hospital and retracted his wings hiding them from anyone and everyone. He carried Li in. Curious patients stared at Yue's strange garb but one glare from the guardian and they would look away rapidly. Doctors swarmed around as soon as they saw the injured and unconscious boy. "Are you his guardian?" One of them asked. "No" Yue said simply. "Riiiight" said the doctor "Well do you know who the boy is?" "His name is Li Showron" Li's eyes fluttered open and his fingers tightened on Yue's robe. "Are you going to leave now?" he asked sadly. "I am going to tell my mistress that you are safe"



"Oh." Li said quietly "Will you come back? As.as you and not as Julian." he asked, the doctors looked thoroughly confused at this stage. "I will try.you will be safe here" he gently kissed Li on the forehead and Li relaxed releasing his hold on Yue's robe. Yue lowered Li onto a stretcher and went to talk to the doctor momentarily before leaving. He told the doctor a variation of what had happened.omitting the part about the thunder beast.obviously! Then he said that he was going to get Li's legal guardian. The doctor looked confused. "But.how did you get him from the base of the cliff.and at that time of night?" "You do not need to know that." Yue stated. The doctor blanched under Yue's glare. Yue walked out of the hospital and headed for Sakura's. Once there he informed her of Li's current condition and she said that she would contact Wei. "Tell him that I will stay with the boy tonight and there will be no need for anyone else. He may come the morning after." Sakura nodded and phoned Wei. He also agreed to wait and Yue set off for the hospital again. Sakura ran down the stairs. "Dad! Dad!" She called; she found him in the kitchen and told him that Li was in hospital. "I'm sorry Sakura honey but I cant take you to the hospital tomorrow because I am working.maybe Tori will take you" Sakura sighed in disappointment.Tori would be hard to persuade.



Yue landed in the alley again before walking towards the hospital. He felt uncomfortable with all the people.even at nighttime the hospital was busy. He asked for directions to Li's room and finally found it. He had just come back from surgery, was washed and cleaned and was wearing a hospital gown. Frankly Yue thought he looked far worse without the mud. All his injuries could be seen clearly. His skin was mottled with bruises varying from blue to green and purple to yellow. His right arm lay above the blankets wrapped thickly with bandages and more bandages ran around his temples. A slight red tinge on the bandage over his forehead showed that the blood was slowly seeping through the bandage '.and those are only the visible injuries.' he thought to himself '.there are undoubtedly more under the blankets and the gown.' He took the seat next to the bed and watched as Li's chest rose and fell slowly as he slept peacefully. Yue dozed for a while and when he woke next it was getting bright outside. He felt someone watching him and glanced towards the bed. Happy amber eyes stared back at him. "You came." Li whispered ".I cant believe you came." A ghost of a smile flickered across Yue's lips. "I told you I would be here so I could not break my promise.How are you feeling?" he asked concerned.



"Sore.but better.and.and very thirsty.could you get me a drink Yue?" he grinned gesturing to his injuries "I'm a bit tied up" Yue simply nodded, stood up and left the room. He returned moments later with a drink for Li. He held the cup to Li's lips and the boy drank greedily. "That was good" he sighed, smiling and closing his eyes. It took Yue a moment to realize that Li had fallen asleep.then he noticed the slight weight on his hand. Li's smaller fingers were curled around his own. He moved to pull his hand away but as soon as he did Li groaned and twisted in his sleep. Yue sighed but decided not to try and move it again. He stared out the window watching the sunrise. Suddenly he felt Li's hand begin to shake and turned around. Li's body was spasming and blood was dribbling down his chin. Yue reacted instantly. He slammed his hand on the buzzer. "Nurse! Nurse!" he shouted urgently. Li was spitting up a lot of blood. A nurse looked in. "Oh Gawd!" she cried "Doctor! We need a doctor now!!!"
