Chapter twenty-five: Yue and the rose.
Sakura later that day strolled into the hallway where Kero, Touya and Yukito were waiting to take her home. She smiled at Tomoyo who had come over to meet up with them and go shopping. She had not mentioned her vision from that night to any one.
She smiled at them in her usual friendly way and then grabbed Yukito's arm, she walked off with him into the garden, turning her head over her shoulder as she walked to call back,
"We'll be back in a moment, wait for us here, alright?"
The others nodded, smiling after Sakura as she went. They soon arrived in the garden. Sakura took Yukito under a tree and then released his arm.
The two turned and faced each other: Yukito looking very confused.
"What's the matter, Sakura-chan?"
"It's alright, Yukito-chan, nothing is wrong, I just want to talk with Yue-chan."
Yukito let out a small breath of relief. "That's good, I thought something was the matter."
Yukito then bowed to Sakura the wings infolded him and Yue appeared. Yue landed on the ground in front of her, Sakura pulled the flower out of her pocket, as he did so and held it out to Yue. He took it in his grasp and looked at the flower, then back at Sakura, his eyebrows drawn together in confusion.
"It's a flower."
Sakura smiled at him, "Yes, Yue-chan, it is a flower, well done. Can you tell me what kind of flower it is, please?"
"Yes, of course I can, it's a white Moonlight Rose, why do you inquire about it, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura was just about to reply, when she sensed something and it she could tell it wasn't good. She looked up at the sky where she had felt it.
Yue felt it too, and at the same time, Eriol, Touya, Keroberos and Spinal Sun came running into the garden. Ruby did not accompany them due to her growing bump.
Sakura looked at the others. "You felt it too. What was that?"
"That is a magic eater, they roam the world looking for magical beings and objects to consume, so they can enhance their own power. I lost my first battle to him his name is Pericosu. Then again, it seemed to know my magic, which means that Yue, Keroberos, Spinal Sun and I are going to be vulnerable to him."
Sakura looked at Eriol. "Where is he heading?"
Eriol looked at her. "Here: he's after you."
Yue looked up: he seemed to go very pale. Eriol looked at Yue. "Yes, Yue, you must become that to save her."
Yue looked down at the floor, then up again, determination in his eyes. "I don't mind the consequences as long as Sakura-chan is safe." He spoke to Touya. "Star Guardian, she will need your aid, stay shrouded until I rest as the play said I would."
Touya nodded and went to Sakura's side. Eriol looked at Yue. "And me, great lord, what should I do?"
"Take Tomoyo-chan and the others, and get them inside where it's safe."
Eriol nodded and ran off. He then returned with one of Tomoyos costumes for Sakura.
"Tomoyo said to ware this or you might not have your normal run off good luck."
Sakura took it and retired into the shadows of the house to change, she could still hear what was being said though.
Spinal Sun came forward. "What of me Great Yue, Final Judge?"
Yue set his eyes on Spinal Sun. "It is your destiny to stay here by Keroberos' side."
Spinal Sun nodded. "Then I shall do so."
Sakura walked from the house she was wearing, pink high heals, a short pink, silk dress to half way down her thigh, it had many white petticoats under the skirt, the bodes was fitted, with a love heart neck line, which had cherry blossom flowers round it, from the point in this neck line there hung three symbols, the sun, the moon and the star to represent her three guardians. Round her neck, as always, there was Yues moon and star pendent and her wand. Sakura wore long over the elbow gloves again with the cherry blossom top to it. Her long hair was free, with many stars in her hair.
Yue stood staring at her, he couldn't think for a moment, the finally he swallowed. "Sakura-chan you look beautiful."
Sakura blushed a rose pink at his words. "Thank you Yue-chan." She dropped him a little curtsied.
Sakura then went over to the others and they stood side by side waiting in perfect silence. Sakura took out her wand, wondering vaguely why everyone was taking orders from Yue. She noticed that everyone seemed ready for a large and difficult battle.
