Yue woke up and stretched his wings, still looking at them with an avid curiosity, like a small child discovering a new toy. He had spent the last few days being shown around by his oniichan, Keroberos, and being taught about all the different types of desserts. However, when the huge cat jumped onto the bed, Yue couldn't help but emit a small sound of surprise mingled with fear.
"Ohayo, Yue-san!" Keroberos shouted happily. "Come on! The sun's up!" For reasons that Yue couldn't explain, Keroberos always seemed happier; stronger when the sun was up.. the same way he himself felt about the moon.
"N.. nani?" He yawned, struggling to get his legs out from the weight that was crushing him into the soft bed, the blankets somewhat tangled around his slender, pale figure. Keroberos clamped his teeth around Yue's robes, yanking lightly, but not hard enough to cause the silky fabric to tear. "I can't get up until you get off of me.."
"Gomen!" Keroberos hopped back off of the bed, waiting for Yue, practically jumping up and down in anticipation. Slowly, Yue stood up out of bed, looking back at his long silver mane tied at the back of him. "Hurry up, Yue!" Keroberos ran into the hallway, skidding on the floor as Yue followed along slowly, his bare feet cool against the wooden floor. As he passed the library, however, he caught a glimpse of Clow and hesitated before knocking lightly on the door. Clow looked up, smiling.
"Good morning, Yue."
"A..am I disturbing you, master?"
"Of course not."
There was an awkward silence between the two until Clow waved him in. "I suppose I should show you what you will be guarding." He pointed to a small creature that closely resembled a rabbit. "The Dash." He smiled and pointed a staff towards it. The creature disappeared and in its place was a card. "These are a new type of magic.."
"Did you make these?" Yue stared in awe, picking up the card, noticing some Chinese characters on the bottom. Clow nodded, smiling at Yue, the pale blue eyes drawing him closer against his will. He stood up and lightly ran a hand through Yue's hair. Yue looked up, tilting his head, and Clow was about to move forward when Keroberos ran in.
"Yue, come on!" He blinked. "Oh.. Gomen nesai, master." He lowered his head respectfully. Clow smiled and scratched behind the large cat's ears.
"It's all right, Keroberos.. Where were you two going today?"
Keroberos purred throatily and nuzzled his head against Clow's hand affectionately. "Kitchen." He murmured happily. Clow and Yue rolled their eyes in unison.
"Well, have fun." He looked at Yue, barely restraining himself. Yue nodded and followed Keroberos out of the room

I couldn't believe the way I was feeling about this creature; my creation.. was it lust? Love? Was there such a thing, and could it exist between a master and his guardian? I wasn't sure.. the cards would take my mind off of Yue, but only barely. I couldn't stop thinking about those wings brushing against my skin, those eyes boring into my soul, about kissing those soft, pale lips..but I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I?
Yue and Keroberos seemed to be as close as brothers, maybe even closer. Yue hadn't yet met Rubi or Spinel Sun, and I was nervous as to how he would react.. Rubi had taken Spinel to the village on the day Yue was 'born', and she hadn't returned yet. The two were so different, as night and day, ironically enough.. yet they were two halves to the same stone.. just as Keroberos and Spinel sun were. Yet, I didn't have any of the feelings for them that I had for Yue.. they were like my children.. Yue was something more.. friend.. companion.. lover.. all the things he would never be..
