A/N: XD And the reviews came pooouuuring in. XD Hope this chapter was worth the wait! Enjoy! ^_^

Yue's thoughts had turned on to unpleasant channels when Cerberus spoke of Clow's possible return. He dreaded

encountering the man again, dreaded his soft voice speaking those not so soft words. It caused him to fear more than any

other enemy or bully did in his life. Not that he would ever dream of letting this on to his two errant siblings. But he had a



sinking feeling that they already knew. He knew that they'd still love him all the same, but it cracked his tough, superior

image. It had given him a. power. And now with the arrival of the fear of this maniac, the power was gone. Both to him

and those who were close to him.

His thoughts were abandoned, though, at the sight that had next met his eyes. Below him, his two siblings were

falling, wingless, into an uncontrolled flight to the earth. He immediately dived forward, all while desperately wracking his

brains for a way to save them both. Then he passed them. He brought his wings up to maintain a reasonably near altitude

with them, only to find that he didn't move. There was only emptiness where his wings once sprouted. He stared, in

shock, then numbly turned his head downward, towards ground. Unforgiving, unyielding, rapidly approaching, ground.

Something in his stomach tightened, just as his sister's screams filled the air, as the reality of inescapable death hit them.

As the details of the earth became more visible and apparent, he shut his eyes and awaited the other side.

And then, the rushing air was gone, Temichica's screams nonexistent. Cautiously, he opened his eyes to find the ground

still a bit far away, yet shrouded by a red, transparent haze. He looked around, and found his siblings also suspended in a

red haze. As soon as he saw them, the world snapped into focus again, leaving the three on the ground in an undignified

tangle of limbs, hair, tails, and, Yue noted rather happily to himself, wings.



"Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!!!! Cerberus, for God's sake, stop moving! OW!"

"Geep! Watch the tail! My beautiful tail!!!"

As the three slowly disentangled themselves, they saw Marin racing towards them at top speed. "Oh, God are you

alright?!?!?" she gasped out when she reached them.

"We're fine, don't worry," replied Cerberus. Clow's presence was still strong upon the land. Temichica turned to

see if Yue was all right and found him gone.

"Yue?" she called, stretching her senses out, seeking her brother. She felt their enemy's ki's center, and felt her

brother's ki zeroing in on it. "Oooh. crap."

"What???"

"It's Yue, he's."

"You don't mean."

"I do."

"Shhhhit!" With that hissed curse, Cerberus and Temichica turned in the direction of the two presences.

"Wait!" shouted Marin, "Where are you, wooop!" Marin was cut off by a powerful nudge by Cerberus, flinging

her halfway onto his back, giving her no choice but to hold on for dear life as her ride and Temichica pounded through the

forest, not quite willing to risk the use of wings again.

Yue had enough. He was going to find out what was going on, and why, and he was going to hear it from the man

himself. Let him attack me, he thought, let him attack innocent villages. But no one attacks HIS siblings, and lives to tell

the tale. He had enough.

He crashed through the brush, at last finding the object of his search. Yue glared at the dark haired man with the

mischievous smile on his face.

"Hmm. not to bad, really. You found me more quickly than I thought you would."

"Leave them alone," Yue snarled.

"Them?"

"You know damn well what I mean."

"Tsk, tsk. Where ever did you three pick up on such language? It really is atrocious, the way you three are

forced to live." With that, Clow walked forward and placed his immobilization spell upon the white haired boy.

"What- the hell- is that supposed- to mean." growled Yue through gritted teeth, watching the mage's advance

with rebellious eyes.

"You shall see soon enough," murmured Clow as he wrapped his arms around the stiff body of the winged

creature, and whispered an incantation that sunk Yue into a deep, dreamless slumber. He smiled, like a child with a new

possession, and slung the limp body over his shoulder. At that instant, a pair of feline creatures came through the forest,

with murderous looks on their eyes, looks that quickly became actions, when they saw his prize draped over his shoulder.

He quickly sidestepped their tackles, and commanded his magic to teleport him back to his home. Temichica, upon

seeing her captured brother disappear, made a last desperate tackle upon the fading figures, and passed into thin air, and

landed upon the leaves and earth of the forest. She sobbed and dug her hands into the soil, biting her lip hard enough to

bleed. Cerberus stood there in shock and dismay, and finally screamed out, speaking for all company present.

"DAMNIT!"
