Touya rose carefully from the bed, not wanting to wake up the still sleeping Yukito. He put on his blue robe and made his way out of the room and into the living room. He was going to start breakfast and see to their two houseguests.
When he entered the living room, he found the girl, Celeste, sitting up, her eyes wide, staring over at Yue. The moon guardian was awake, still seated in the position he had slept in. His eyes were wide as well though they didn't show nearly as much shock as the girls did.
"Good morning," Touya said, gaining the attention of the two.
Celeste looked over at the man, recognizing him as Sakura's brother, and asked, "What happened? Why am I here?"
"You fell asleep right after healing Yue's wing so we let you stay here. Are you alright?" Touya asked, concern lacing his voice.
"I'm fine," she said quickly to relieve the concern apparent in his voice, "I was just a little surprised to find myself here."
"Understandable. Are you alright Yue?" He asked, seeing that the moon guardian had not moved and was just watching the exchange between them.
"I am fine," he said, his voice set in his usual tone.
"Ok, then how about some breakfast?" Touya said, not at all convinced that the angel was just fine. His eyes betrayed something more on his mind, but not what.
"I don't want to be a bother," Celeste began, pushing the blanket off her self and rising from the couch.
"Don't worry about it. It's no trouble at all." Touya then turned around and made his way to the kitchen. He put the rice on and then went back to the bedroom to get dressed.
Meanwhile, Yue had yet to move. What no one knew was that he couldn't move yet without embarrassing himself. That dream had been a little too real and he was having a little trouble cooling off. Once Celeste had left the room and entered the kitchen he started thinking about other things. Kero . . .snow . . .the moon. Anything but the dream and the beautiful girl he had slept near last night.
Celeste made her way into the kitchen, anything to get away from the beautiful moon angel that she had slept near last night. She couldn't seem to get that dream to leave her thoughts. Questions about what had happened ran through her mind. Why did she replace Rakesh? Was it really just a memory? Should she tell Yue or anybody about it?
After dressing, Touya looked towards the bed and noticed that Yukito had woken up and was watching him. He smirked and walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge next to his lover. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss against the mouth of his snow bunny. When he pulled away he said, "good morning. Ready for breakfast."
At the offer of food, Yukito's eyes brightened and he kissed Touya a little more fiercely. Even after being split from Yue, Yukito still had a love of food, though he didn't eat nearly as much as he used to, it was still amazing how much the slight man could pack away.
Touya stood up, allowing Yukito to rise from the bed, and made his way back out into the living room. He noticed that Yue was now seated on the couch previously occupied by the girl. He then walked into the kitchen and found Celeste standing there watching the rice cook. "Why don't you go sit at the table and I'll bring the food to you?"
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" Celeste said, still not wanting to be a burden.
"No, I can handle this," he said and then shooed her out of the kitchen so he could continue making breakfast.
Yukito came out a short time later and saw Yue sitting on the couch. He walked over and said, "good morning Yue. How are you feeling?"
Yue looked over at his ever-cheerful former false form and nodded his head in greeting before saying, "I feel fine."
"Why don't you join us in the dining room. I know you don't eat but your company will be just fine."
Yue stood, his wings disappearing, deciding that he needed something, anything, to get his mind away from last night. He followed Yukito into the dining room and took a seat across from Celeste, who was already seated. Yukito sat to his right and Touya came out, carrying three plates of food, and sat to his left.
Breakfast went by fairly quietly and while the dishes were being cleared, the doorbell rang. Touya went to answer it while Yukito took care of the dishes, assisted by Celeste who insisted on doing something for the hospitality she had been shown. Yue stayed in the dining room, just in case the person at the door didn't know about him.
Touya opened the door and was greeted by a brightly smiling Sakura. "Good morning!" she said, stepping inside the apartment and making her way to the living room. Yue came out after hearing his mistress' voice and she smiled in relief, "are you all right Yue? I was worried about you."
"I am fine mistress. There is no need to worry." He said, not liking the fact that he had worried his mistress.
Celeste entered the living room then and Sakura, a worried look on her face, turned to her, "how are you doing Celeste? Eriol said you ran low on magic."
"Yes, I'm not as powerful as you or Eriol but after a good nights sleep I am almost as good as new."
"Almost?" Touya asked, a little worried for the girl who had helped Yue last night. He didn't like it when his friends were hurt and he considered anyone a friend of Yue's a friend of his.
"It will take more than one night to return my energies to full strength. Don't worry though, I won't be fainting anymore." She reassured the little group, all of which looked at her with worry in their eyes. Even Yue, she noticed, looked at her with some sympathy in his eyes.
"Well, today is Saturday, and if you're feeling up to it, Tomoyo and I wanted to know if you wanted to go shopping with us?" Sakura asked.
"I'd love to. I haven't been on a good shopping spree in a while." Celeste smiled and then looked down, "but first I have to go home and change." Celeste also noticed that her staff was still out and picked it up and put it away, all in one smooth motion. "Thank you very much for allowing me to stay here and for breakfast," she said to Touya and Yukito, bowing in thanks.
"Your welcome. It was no big deal." Touya said as Celeste and Sakura began to leave.
"Are you coming Yue?" Sakura then asked, noticing that her moon guardian had not moved or spoken in quite a while.
"I am going to fly home. I shall see you there," he said, making his wings appear and stepping out onto the balcony.
"Ok, see you there," Sakura waved and made her way out of the apartment followed closely by Celeste.
Celeste pushed open her door with her foot as her hands were filled with bags. She, Sakura, and Tomoyo had enjoyed a fine day of shopping. They had gone to several malls and tried on many outfits, some of which Tomoyo was going to cut up and redesign to make better.
After stepping into the room, she pushed the door closed with her foot and walked over to the closet. She set the bags down on the floor in front of the closet and straightened up, stretching her back and arms. She sighed with relief and then looked at the bags, deciding that she would put everything away tomorrow. She was tired after a day of walking around just wanted to crawl under the covers and sleep for a week.
Celeste dressed in her nightgown and pulled the covers on her bed back. She climbed into bed and pulled the blankets up to her chin, snuggling into the pleasant warmth and falling into a dream filled sleep.
Where am I? It's dark and I can't see anything. There's something over my eyes, some sort of blindfold. I can't move my arms to remove it. Something is holding them down, my legs too. I can feel that I am lying down on something soft, a bed perhaps, but where am I?
The blindfold is being removed and I shut my eyes as a bright light invades the darkness. I open them and blink a few times to clear the blurriness and I cringe in horror at the sight before me. I see that I am lying in a bed in a large bedroom and off to my right, standing there smirking at me, is my former and present enemy, Soren.
He smiles at me, his cruel eyes showing that I can expect no mercy, and he leans over me, putting his knee up onto the side of the bed. His face comes only inches from my own and he whispers into my ear, his fowl odor clogging up my nostrils. He smells of evil and his breath is no better.
"You are mine. Revenge is sweet."
He climbs up onto the bed and moves his right leg over me so that he is now straddling my waist. I know what is to come and I can't stand it. I'm trying to wake up but I can't seem to be able to. This isn't a memory because I am here. What is going on?
Soren leaned down, his mouth opening slightly, his face coming close to mine again. I squeeze my eyes closed and turn my head to the left. He snarls at my defiance but he has total control over me and moves his tongue over my cheek as if he thinks this is sexy. Please!
His hands make a move down and he begins to unbutton my shirt exposing my chest to him, which he then begins to move even farther down. His hands cup my breasts and he has no intention of being gentle. He squeezes my chest and I cry out, he is being rough and if this weren't a dream, there would be large bruises where his hands were.
It was still painful and he proceeded to pull my shorts roughly down, along with my underwear, tearing them in his haste. I couldn't take what I knew was going to happen next. He undressed himself and positioned himself in front of my virgin opening. I wanted my first time to be with someone I truly loved and I had to remember that this was only a dream, now a nightmare.
He thrust into me swiftly, pain lacing through my entire body . . .
Celeste screamed and jolted upright. She could still feel the pain that the dream had caused but it soon ebbed away to a dull throb. She gasped for breath and rose carefully from the bed. Looking at the clock, she saw that it was only three in the morning but she couldn't get back to sleep after that nightmare and she didn't know if she would ever sleep again.
