A/N: School………destroying………all creative abilty………@.;;; If the beginning of
this chapter confuses you, then it's probably because you hadn't read this
fic in forever, another testimony to my failure as an author. Gomen nasi.
"Aiyiyiyiyiyi!!! AGH! DON'T THROW ME IN THE DRINK!" wailed Cerberus. Temichica flailed her arms, also not expecting the dense shrubbery to give away
to the thin strip of rocks and deep water of the lake. At last, she risked flight, and flapped her way to a tree, where she clung to the branches. Her brother regained
his own balance and followed Marin as she dove once again into the undergrowth.
"Whadda do we do now?" asked Cerberus as he struggled to free his wings from some thorny bushes.
"Hush! Lower your voice. We had best not attract attention when we're this close. It's a miracle that Clow sensed our presence as it is-"
"HUH!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" called an upside down Temichica, as she swung down in front of them.
"SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" A mixture of hands and paws clamped over her mouth.

Clow continued his way down the hall, his thoughts and inner battle occupying every iota of his attention, until he felt a particular magical tremor, shattering through
the dormant ones that surrounded him. He froze, abandoning all thoughts of making peace with his conscience. 'Surely the boy could not have woken already,' he
thought to himself. He swiftly turned back to the room he had left his captive. As he passed the window he had paused at before, a movement caught the corner of
his eye. He halted and focused on the other side of the lake where the disturbance occurred. He saw the bushes shift, then a brief flash of movement. Clow's eyes
narrowed as the tremor grew strong again, he knew that whatever was across the water was causing the disturbance. He quickly made his way to the room, and
lifted Yue from the couch where he lay.
Going deeper inside of the mansion, the mage at last reached a room to hide his prize in. He bent down and laid the winged boy on a pad on the floor, and rose to
retrieve a cloak to cover him with along with the book that stored his newly made cards. Clow pulled out one and murmured, "Erase." He mentally directed the
magic to the cloak that he held out. The dark blue cloth disappeared, along with the hand that was covered by it. Nodding slightly in satisfaction, he knelt beside
Yue and covered the prostate body with the cloak, making it vanish. Clow quickly walked out of the room, closing the door, and drawing out another card from the
book. "Lock," he called, sealing the portal shut.
The staff that he released began to glow bright red as he readied himself for battle, reaching within himself and conjuring up the power until in ran fiercely just
beneath his skin. His magical senses now fully alert, he could clearly feel the aura of a particular magical being that he had hoped he would never have to face again.
Conjuring up huge black wings with a thought, he leapt from a balcony and sailed towards his enemy upon the ground. She was waiting for him.
"Took you damn long enough, Clow," smirked Marin. A devilish gleam had appeared in her eye.
"I thought you had retired from this sort of thing, Marin," replied Clow in a mockingly serious tone.
"I had, but adverse circumstances have incited me to return," Marin's hands lifted, two violet sparks appearing on the tip of each finger.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Temi-chan, you're probably sick of me saying this but-"
"You've got a bad feeling about this," finished Cerberus' flying companion. "Com'on, Cerberus! Where's your sense of adventure!? Your battle lust?"
"Hmm, lesse, perhaps nearly being KILLED by this guy a hundred times has something to do with their disappearance!?"
"Oh please. The only time we came even close to death was last night. Besides, Marin said she'd deal with the psycho, while we sneak in the back door and do the
retrieving. He can't even sense us cuz of her nifty lil shield thingy."
"Yeah, and what happens if her magic falters, and there's a breach in the shield?"
Temichica turned to her brother with a cheerful, genki grin on her face. "Then we pray."
"How reassuring."
The two zeroed in on a window, and causuously opened the lock using a dagger that Marin had given to Temichica. She shook her head a bit. "I still can't belive
she carries these things around."
"Why?" asked Cerberus as he clambered struggled through the window.
"Never stuck me as a armed and dangerous one………"
Cerberus chose not to comment, and perked his senses up for his brother, and followed towards Yue's ki.
"It's really faint, isn't it?" came Temichica's hushed whisper after several moments of nothing but the silence and their soft padding through the halls.
"I-I hope he's okay………" They halted in front of a door, where Yue's presence whispered outward. "I guess this is where we find out." With that, the lion began
to back up, lowering his head and pawing at the ground. "Out of the way, Temi-chan," he called to his sister.
"Before you go ruining the house, causing an incredible racket, and potentially bringing the door and yourself crashing down on Yue, it might be wise to see if it's
unlocked," she replied condescendingly, jiggling the handle. "Aaannnd… it's locked. Knock yourself out." She stepped back giving her brother a charging path. He
snorted, much like a bull, bringing a snicker from the spikey haired catwoman. Ignoring her, Cerberus charged forward, full speed and full strength. The next thing
he knew, he was lying on his back, with the worst headache he'd ever had, and his sister looking down at him with a look mixed of pity and her you- are-such-a-
dork-face.
"When I said knock yourself out, I didn't mean it literally." With that she began to fiddle with the strange lock on the oaken door, using Marin's dagger, mindful of
their limited time, shortened even more by the massive racket 'Plan A' had caused.
A/N: And THEN Cerberus get amnesia!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Origins cast: -.-;;;
NEways! XD Pllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeee R+R! I don't care if you've already reviewed it on some other chapter, DO IT AGAIN! It's real depressing when you get so little reviews for one chapter, like I did in the last one.;_;
