Why me?
By The Redundant Goddess…
Oh, we're off, off to sunny…erm… somewhere…but first operation "Runaway"!
That Monday morning, the snow bunny was in high spirits, which to be honest wasn't unusual. However his other side was just as happy, which was a miracle. Only when I am happy I don't show it and even if I did I wouldn't show it by hopping and skipping about singing "Oh, we're off, off to sunny Spain!"
You see after Yue formulated his perfect plan after watching Yuki's favourite film in the world hehehe…the Moon guardian persuaded the cheerful grey haired youth to let him go on a stress-busting break. That was, of course, after Yue blackmailed the snow bunny into it. The threat of recurring Bambi dreams was more than enough to do it. Run Bambi, Run Bambi, run, run, BANG! Hehehe… Not forgetting to ask Yuki for a large sum of cash for the trip, although Yue was planning to fly by night, to and from the resort, thus cutting down costs but what Yuki doesn't know won't hurt him…However the silver haired guardian had to get his Mistresses permission, which meant seeing Sakura, which Yue wasn't really keen on. No shit Sherlock… I should really stop hanging around humans so much…
Suddenly there was a high-pitched ring, which signalled for Yuki to spin around at high speed and hop to the door. Is it just I or is Yuki a total idiot?
"Coming!" Yuki squealed as he nearly slammed head first into the door.
When the happy go lucky lad had finally managed to open the door without harming himself in any way, his and Yue's eyes nearly popped out. For there stood Sakura, hair done up in the usual way only a little bit longer, wearing a shiny pink boob tube, which really didn't leave much to the imagination OH CLOW NOT AGAIN! And a small, no make that very small fluffy pink mini skirt. That's not a mini skirt! That's a microscopic belt! However Sakura didn't seem to be in such a good mood.
"Don't ask!" Was all the now red faced card Mistress could growl, whilst trying to make sure passers by weren't getting a good look at her behind.
Needless to say Yue was in a state of ultimate shock. Some how Yuki managed to snap out of his trance, which looked more like a rabbit trapped in headlights (A/N: BOOM BOOM!), and let the slightly pissed off cherry blossom enter his humble house. Luckily for Yue, his false form, being the ever so kind person he was, had made a large pot of tea and had left out an assortment of nice cakes on the coffee table inside his kawaii living room. Thank Clow for that! The angel breathed a sigh of relief. At least once she has had something to eat she'll feel a little better… and not scold me for something I haven't done…
The, now, calm and less pissed off Sakura sat on of the blue puffy chairs and chatted with Yuki for a while about this and that. Luckily none of that chatter had included Yue getting drunk and prating around. Which is a small blessing… But they seemed to have fun. Then the time came for Yue to make an appearance. The wings came out and covered Yuki and before you could say, "That's not a skirt! That's a belt." The beautiful vision that was called Yue stood in front of his happier and slightly shorter Mistress.
Yue gave an invontary gulp as he peered down at his, scantly dressed Mistress, sitting in the very same chair he had sat in the night before. He bowed his head.
"Good Morning Mistress."
She smiled; it would have been a bigger smile if Yue hadn't of said the dreaded "M" Word.
"Good Morning Yue," She rolled her crystal clear Emerald eyes. " And its Sakura remember?"
Yue let his pretty amethyst eyes roll as he let out a weak and obeying smile.
"Indeed Sakura-Sama."
There was an odd pause. A still and un-natural silence, which made Yue feel a little bit nervous, which was a feeling, as you would have gathered by now, the cold Guardian didn't like. Not one bit. He could feel those odd, uncomfortable feelings in his stomach return. His body temperature seemed to have, shot up although, Yue was sure Yuki had left quite a few windows open, letting a cold brisk breeze enter and chill the whole house. So there was no real reason for the Moon Guardian to have felt such an intense heat, especially around the face area. All of these things seemed to have come back in strength, which Yue decided was caused by the fact that his eyes couldn't peel themselves away from what the pink set of clothes his Mistress was wearing wasn't covering up. Why won't my eyes move away from the legs? Why me? What made matters worse was that Sakura had caught Yue starring.
"What?" She asked half worriedly and half irritated. Her eyes scanning Yues flushed face in great detail.
Oh Clow! What can I say to get out of this one?
The cool and calm Moon Guardian's mind was sent into a hot panic.
"Erm… er…"
"Yes?"
"Why are you wearing such… er… clothing Sakura-Sama? Surely it is too cold to be wearing such items." Phew. Saved…
Sakura gave a large and unhappy groan.
"Yue, I asked you not to ask." She sighed, rubbing the temples on her brow.
At this Yue just gave a small smirk. His cat like eyes lit up with an odd and slightly sadistic gleam.
"Well, technically, you asked my false form Yuki not to ask. That didn't include me. So therefore I have a right to ask."
His Mistress gave Yue the most evil look she could muster, which was pretty hard considering how cute she was. Especially in that out fit she is wearing. ARGH! DAMN YOU HENTAI BRAIN!
"Yue?"
"Yes Sakura-Sama?"
"Why?? Er… never mind." She sighed in defeat. "The reason I am wearing this ridiculous out fit was for Tomoyo's new film. Don't even ask what it's about, coz I have no idea! All I know is that she didn't turn up, probably due to Eriol, and I was stuck outside in the freezing cold for an hour and a half. So if you don't want to me to use the bubbles card on you, would you please get me another hot tea and a sticky donut!"
At once you complied with his Mistress's demands and brought her hot tea and sticky donut, which flavour she wanted didn't matter at that point. Anything but the bubbles card! You have no idea how much that tickles! He watched her with half nervous eyes to see if she would act on her threat, but luckily for Yue bubble time wasn't going to happen. His not to so sweet and little Mistress was content, her small warm smile crept across her face after every, munch and gulp she took. Yue couldn't help but smile, which he hid straight away.
After the bubble crisis was averted there was another strange silence. Not as strange and as uncomfortable as the first, it was sort of a happy silence or reflection. Which lead Yue to remember what he had done to make the green eyed teen to threaten him with humiliation. Awwwwwwwwwwww crap. Thus for that next minute or so Yue's gem like eyes latched themselves onto the only thing that didn't make him blush, the hello Kitty phone. The silence broke.
"So how are you Yue? Feeling better after Thursday night? I would have been round sooner but…"
The Angel quickly jumped in and cut of Sakura's mini rant and decided to begin his plan, which he code-named "Operation Runaway!"
"Yes. Yes I am fine Sakura-sama. I must apologise for my actions that night. I was not myself." Good start to the plan Yue. Just keep this up and you'll be away Scott free…
The auburn haired girl smiled her magical warm smile and nodded.
"That's okay Yue, you were drunk. Not that bad really. You should hear someone of the things my dear innocent brother gets up to when he is out of his head. Like that one time…"
Yet again Yue cut in, his voice sharp and devoid of emotion.
"Yes, well. I should not have been in that state to begin with. It is not right for a Guardian to be, as you say, " Out of their head". If something were to of happened I would have not been in a fit state to protect you."
Sakura's face drooped a bit.
"Oh."
A smirk appeared on Yue's face.
"Besides, I know very well what Touya is like when loaded up to the eyeballs on beer. Something that I never wish to experience myself… EVER!"
He let the last word linger for a bit. Wow! I am starting to sound like my old self already. YES!
The small-ish girl let a soft and warm giggle and gazed at her guardian with those pretty eyes of hers. Yue could feel his body react again and forced himself to snap out of it before it was to late and his plan failed. GET A GRIP! Sakura let out a small sigh.
"Well as long as you are alright. Say why don't you go get yourself a cup of this nice tea and we can sit down and have a good, you know, chat." Her face beaming.
Feeling a bit startled at his Mistress's kindness, even though he had been his old blunt self, looked at her with an eyebrow up in confusion. How can she be so nice? Okay she was like this when she was little, but you'd think after putting up with me for so many years she'd just give up! Amazing. Not even Clow would have done that… Yet again his wall of ice threatened to give way to all the warmth that Yue gained from Sakura's polite suggestion, however, he resisted and managed to regain his cool and replied.
"No thank you Sakura-Sama. I have no need to eat or drink."
Yet Sakura was fast and countered.
"But, you drank on Thursday night and Friday morning." An eyebrow raised with challenge sent the Moon Guardian back a bit.
Damn she's good.
But Yue came back with
"Yes, Sakura-sama. Indeed I did imbibe alcohol and water on those days, but at this particular moment in time I do not feel the need for any such liquid."
YES! See that! THAT'S THE YUE I KNOW AND LOVE! GO ME!
Although Sakura started to pout in a very cute and adorable way, which made Yue feel guilty and confused, which produced these last words on the matter
" But thank you for the Suggestion."
RATS! I WAS SO CLOSE!
That all powerful smile appeared back onto her sweet, soft face her eyes filled with a strange light she knows she's won. DAMN! Hoe does she do that to me?
"That's alright Yue." She replied cheerfully. "But… could you at least sit down. Your kinda making me feel nervous."
"No."
He knew what was coming next and shut his eyes.
"But, please Yue?" Her eyes went all sparkly and all cutesy pie, but since Yue couldn't see them, her trick didn't work. HA HA FOOOOOOOOOOOOLED YOU!
He quickly turned away and let his eyes gaze out the window. He let a large smirk spread across his face like a wild fire and his eyes sparkled with glee. He had defeated the Kawaii eyes. But while looking out of the window he remembered what he was supposed to do. Continue operation runaway soldier! I mustn't run away, I Mustn't run away, I Mustn't run away… yeah must stop watching that Evangelion anime too… He cleared his throat, which made Sakura jump and snap out of her kawaii eye thingy.
"No, but I wish to ask a small favour of you, Sakura-sama."
The Moon Guardian could see her confused look be looking at her reflection in the window. Her emerald eyes almost crossed and both her eyebrows were raised. Needless to say, it was very kawaii. What ever face she pulled it would still look adorable. WHAT IS IT WITH THIS GIRL? Finally she let out an odd squeak.
"A favour? Yue are you in trouble?"
The Angel shook his silvery head.
"No, nothing like that Sakura-Sama." He muttered as he rolled his eyes. Geez and I thought I was optimistically challenged…
Again she looked confused.
"Then what?" A tiny trace of fear could be heard in her usual soft and happy voice.
Yue let out a weak smile and turned back to the scantly clad cheery blossom.
"Perhaps if I were aloud to ask, then you would understand better?"
She looked thoughtful for a minute and her eyes began to gleam in an odd way, which made Yue a bit weary of her answer.
"Sure…" She chirped. " But only if you sit down, otherwise I won't listen." An odd sort of " Ha ha ha. I'll get you to sit down even if it kills me" Smile graced her soft lips. STOP THINKING LIKE THAT!
Yue let out a sigh of defeat and rolled his eyes as he plonked himself down onto the far end a sofa nearest to Sakura.
"May I ask now?" He mockingly whined.
"Sure!" Her happy face plastered up again for all to see.
There was a short silence. There seems to be a lot of them about recently… Sakura looked like she was going to fall off the end of her seat if Yue didn't speak. But he did. Eventually. I was building atmosphere!
"I wish to ask your permission to go on a short vacation."
THUMP.
That would have been the sound of Sakura falling of her comfy blue chair. As the amethyst-eyed angel gazed down at his mistress, Yue could feel a smile coming on. But yet again resisted that urge. Again he got a good view, however he shut his eyes briefly until she got herself sorted. So sitting on the floor, Sakura looked up at her angelic like guardian towering over her, completely baffled.
"That's what you wanted to ask me?"
He nodded.
"Yes."
She sighed, in a disgruntled fashion and pouted.
"But where will you go?"
Out of nowhere a colourful leaflet landed in her lap.
"River wall resort! But that's very expensive!" She gasped.
Yue smirked.
"Yuki owes me." He said bluntly.
Sakura studied the leaflet carefully.
"But Yue, this is for old people looking for a relaxing weekend away, what ever will you do there? Bowles?" She started to sound a bit upset.
"Well Sakura-sama, I am, slightly, old and I wish to do some training. My time there would be spent re-introducing myself to some old strengths and meditation, if you like. No fear of playing Bowles at all."
I think she's buying it… Come on! Go for it Yue!
The cherry blossom eyes darted everywhere and anywhere all at once.
"I see. How long are you planning to stay? What about all that stuff about you being around to protect me huh? I thought you had to be here to you, know look after me if I get in trouble and stuff?"
Damn why is she coming up with all this stuff now? This is really stupid! She usually tells me off for saying that. Saying that's she's strong enough on her own. Geez!
Yue let out another sigh.
"Look, See. I won't be that far away and I am sure Keroberous, after a few choice words, will look after you well enough. Besides, as you always say when you want to go off somewhere with out my persons being there, you are very, no, incredibly strong. Think of this as experience."
But this didn't do very much. Yue could swear he saw tears form in her brilliant green orbs, however she shook her head and smiled.
"Well, I suppose I could let you go. It's not like anything will happen and your right I can look after myself!"
She put on a cheesy grin, which made Yue want to laugh. BUT I DIDN'T! Laughing ain't my bag baby… yeah must stop watching Austin Powers…
Yet again, the grateful guardian bowed his head to his Mistress below.
"Thank you, you are very kind for allowing me this opportunity to…"
"Yeah yeah, yeah Yue. Whatever just make sure you buy me a nice present or I'll be mad." Sakura gave her guardian a quick wink. " Do you think you can help me off the floor as well?"
A small sigh escaped Yue's lips as he extended one of his large pale hands to Sakura's waiting smaller hand, whose grip was quite strong. As he hoisted her up she tripped on her pink stiletto's WHAT THE? And nearly fell on top of Yue for the second time, but the Angel moved out of the way just in time. Though for some reason my face is on fire again! Yet he wasn't alone. Sakura's face was flushed bright red.
"Erm… thanks Yue."
Cough.
"Your welcome." The Angels voice just managed to make a sound at all.
With that, Sakura quickly said good-bye and rushed out of Yuki and Yue's abode. The room was silent. Everything was still. You can guess what happened next.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Yue jumped up and punched some air. He was happy.
"Yes! That's it. Soon I shall be free from this house, this town, THESE HORRIBLE FEELINGS THAT PLAGUE ME!" His voice so loud and booming; yet he didn't care. Not one little bit.
"All I have to do now is to have words with that slob of a guardian beast and Bobs your fathers brother! Where's that phone?"
And so, Yue's little adventure was about to begin…
